Hami.
Anke Timur's mother met the Ming Dynasty envoy, who delivered the credentials and advocated the establishment of Anke Timur's nephew Tuotuo as the new Hami king. After careful consideration, the Hami mistress discussed with the leaders of Hami After that, he decided to accept Daming's arrangement.
Mistress Hami agreed readily, not entirely because Tuotuo was her grandson, but more because she couldn't afford to offend Daming.
After Song Sheng discussed with Yang Rong, he arranged for Chen Mao of a thousand households to lead a thousand people to escort Tuotuo back to Hami. He also took out the edict drafted by Zhu Yunwen in advance and officially named Tuotuo the loyal and shun king of Hami.
There were no surprises in Tuotuo's return to Hami, nor was there any surprise in her canonization. There was also no surprise in the disagreement between Hami's mistress and Tuotuo. However, after Qianhu Chen Mao sent Tuo Tuo back, Tuo Tuo strongly persuaded Chen Mao to stay and serve as his personal guard.
This request can be said to have angered the mistress of Hami, and also made many leaders of Hami dissatisfied. What does it mean that the Ming army is stationed in Hami? Isn't this equivalent to the Ming Dynasty directly controlling Hami?
What if one night while you are sleeping soundly, a group of people suddenly come to kill you outside your door?
Disagree, firmly disagree.
In the face of everyone's opposition, Tuotuo showed rare strength. He must let Chen Mao stay, otherwise he will not be the loyal and submissive king, and you can go play in the mud on your own.
Mistress Hami and the leaders are a little panicked. All the canonizations have been completed. How can we survive after you have done this? If this offended the Ming Emperor and led Song Sheng to come to Hami again, would he still be able to live a small life?
However, they bowed their heads and allowed the Ming army to station troops in Hami. These people firmly disagreed. When the dispute continued, Chen Mao said that he could lead 20 people to stay in Hami, and the other sergeants withdrew to Haramuti, fifty miles west of Hami. Keep.
This compromise plan was approved by everyone. After all, twenty people were not much of a threat to Hami City.
Install the latest version. 】
But the leader and mistress of Hami forgot one thing. These troops were from the Ming Dynasty. They needed food and logistical supplies. In order to ensure that these people could eat, the Ming Dynasty's logistics troops needed to run from Jiayuguan to Haramti.
Yang Rong, Zheng Dacheng, and Cai Xiongying arrived in Haramti with more than a thousand people and hundreds of camels in their capacity as logistics, and then twenty sergeants went to Hami City.
The difference from Jiayuguan is that Jiayuguan in later generations was larger and had more buildings than Jiayuguan in the early Ming Dynasty, while Hami City in later generations was smaller and had fewer buildings than Hami City in the early Ming Dynasty.
Hami City was built on Pingchuan, with a circumference of nearly four miles. For such a large city, only two gates were designed, namely the west gate and the east gate. There was no north gate and south gate, but the height of the city wall was quite high. Nearly two feet.
Tuotuo was very happy about Yang Rong's arrival and asked people to prepare a banquet to entertain him. Mistress Hami and a group of leaders did not dare to neglect and did a good job of welcoming him.
Hami's etiquette is not complicated, but there are too many leaders, and they are introduced in a circle.
Yang Rong looked at the happy Tuotuo and the unhappy Mistress Hami. Daming was aware of the disagreement between the two, but they were just tolerating each other and had not yet reached the point of breaking out.
"I wonder why the envoys from the Heavenly Dynasty came here this time?"
Mistress Hami asked.
Tuotuo didn't feel any strange at all, but Yang Rong couldn't help but frown. Such a question should be answered by Tuotuo. If the mistress said it, wouldn't it be overstepping and showing that he is the real controller of Hami?
Yang Rong stood up with a smile, faced Tuotuo, and replied solemnly: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent me to Hami. Firstly, to deliver winter supplies and protect Hami from worries in the winter. Secondly, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to know the cause of death of the former King Zhongshun. Who poisoned me? Find out the real culprit so that I can avenge the former King Zhongshun."
Mistress Hami frowned and said, "We have caught and killed the poisoner. What does Ming mean by bringing up the real culprit now?"
Yang Rong looked at Mistress Hami: "According to the documents sent from Hami to the Ming Dynasty, it was said that the former King Zhongshun was poisoned by an envoy sent by Guilichi. But did the envoy really have a chance to poison him? That's not a good statement. If so, when we come from the Ming Dynasty, the mistress will allow our people to pour wine, will we drink the wine of the Ming Dynasty directly? Who dares to use it without ensuring safety? The former King Zhongshun still has this kind of vigilance, right? "
Tuotuo nodded repeatedly and said: "Yang Angel's words are very reasonable. Uncle's death should be thoroughly investigated."
"What are we investigating? The clues are all gone, so how can we investigate?"
a woman yelled.
Yang Rong looked sideways and saw that this was Anke Timur's wife.
"Former princess, Daming just wants to find out the truth. Of course, this is also to ensure the safety of King Zhongshun and the safety of everyone."
Yang Rong said calmly.
The former princess's expression changed and she said, "Where did this come from?"
Yang Rong said seriously: "The fact that the envoy Guilichi could easily poison the former King Zhongshun shows that there are loopholes in the security of the palace. You don't want to worry about what's going on here when you drink, drink tea, or even drink water in the future. Isn't it poisonous? The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was concerned about the safety of King Zhongshun and everyone else, so he specially ordered his ministers to bring in detective elites to find out the flaws and know how the other party poisoned it, so that the problem can be solved fundamentally. "
Tuotuo nodded repeatedly: "That's right."
When Mistress Hami saw this, she couldn't stop her. In addition, what Yang Rong said was indeed reasonable. She also wanted to know why her son was poisoned so easily! Other leaders also feel the danger. If they don't find out the truth, they may be next.
Everyone supported, and Yang Rong stepped aside.
Zheng Dacheng asked all the people who were present when Timur met with the envoy of Guilichi to be present again. Who was responsible for what, who stood where, who poured the wine, and who said what, they all asked to be shown again.
"Are you saying that the wine used was brought out by Prince Hami himself, not by Guilichi's envoy?"
Zheng Dacheng asked a serving maid.
The maid nodded repeatedly. This drink was treasured by Anke Timur and was specially brought out from the palace of the former princess.
"Has this drink been opened before taking it out?"
"opened."
Zheng Dacheng and everyone immediately turned their attention to the former princess.
The former princess turned pale and said quickly: "The prince opened it himself, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, so many people drank the wine, but only the prince was poisoned. I was not present at the time..."
"Can the former princess come to check in?"
Zheng Dacheng asked.
"No."
Everyone shook their heads. A maid hesitated for a moment. When Zheng Dacheng saw it, she pulled her out and asked: "You must know something, tell me!"
Seeing Zheng Dacheng's fear, the maid quickly said: "The prince's wine bowl broke on the way. I saw the former princess gave the maid a new wine bowl for the prince to use..."
The former princess was immediately angry: "You are talking nonsense!"
Mistress Hami and the leaders stared at the former princess.
Zheng Dacheng sneered and asked the maid: "Which maid did the former princess give the wine bowl to?"
"It's her personal maid Biyun..."
"Nonsense, you dare to accuse me wrongly?!"
The former princess panicked.
"What about Biyun? Pull her over and ask!"
Mistress Hami shouted angrily.
The former princess quickly said: "Biyun was not in good health a few days ago, so I sent her home to recuperate..."
"I think you're talking nonsense!"
The mistress is not a fool, and the former princess is not such a kind person. Not to mention that the maid is sick, even if she dies, she will die in her house and be sent home to recuperate. It's a shame she can say this!
"Did you kill my son? Why!"
The mistress was furious.
The former princess saw the guards appearing at the door and the alertness of the people around her. She sat down sadly, picked up a knife, easily picked the meat from the bones, and said: "Oh, the people of the Ming Dynasty are so powerful. . When the matter is over, it is over. Why bother to ask more questions? What good will it do to Ming Dynasty if you ask too many questions? "
Yang Rong looked at the former princess coldly and took a step forward: "What the Ming Dynasty wants is justice! The former King Zhongshun was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty. If something happened to him, the Ming Dynasty will investigate to the end. No matter who hurt him, even if Bi Luo... Huangquan, Ming Dynasty will also stab him in the neck! I advise you not to challenge Ming Dynasty’s bottom line, otherwise, you will die without a place to die!"
When the Hami leaders heard this, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Yang Rong's words were true for the former princess, but they were also a warning to everyone present not to dare to cross the line and hurt Tuotuo again! It can be seen that Daming values Tuotuo very much. Although this person has no ability and is addicted to drinking and sex, Daming needs this person.
The former princess took a bite of meat and looked up at the mistress, Tuotuo and others: "Okay, I admit it. I participated in Anke Timur's death, and I was the one who poisoned him!"
"You poisonous woman, why!"
The mistress almost fainted from anger.
The former princess laughed and said: "Why? It's very simple, because my ancestor is Boerjijin Wo Kuotai. I am a descendant of Wo Kuotai's concubine Hedan, and I am a member of Guilichi's tribe! So I am his descendant. When the envoy came to convince me, I agreed.”
"But Ankh Timur is your husband!"
"He is an incompetent man. Why should he be my husband? I wasted my time by his side. In the end, all he gave me was loneliness and coldness. He never gave me the happiness that a woman should have!"
The former princess looked a little ferocious.
Yang Rong, Zheng Dacheng and others looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Anke Timur's death had something to do with him. Judging from her appearance, she must be in her forties. It was the time when she was like a wolf and a tiger. I happened to meet another one...
No wonder Anke Timur has stayed in Hami for so many years without even having a son.
"Guilichi's envoy told me that as long as Anke Timur dies, Guilichi will take away Hami City in the shortest time. By then, I will be the new owner of Hami City, and you will all My slave!"
The former princess pointed at everyone.
The mistress picked up a plate, threw it to the former princess, and shouted sternly: "Someone, arrest her!"
The former princess messed up her hair and covered her face with her long hair. She suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "You remember, I am Nasu, not the princess of King Hami. Even if I die, I will not fight with him." See you!"
After saying that, the former princess held the short knife in her hand and stabbed it into the neck resolutely, without any hesitation or struggle...
