After the Crown Princess entered, Zhu Biao felt a little relieved. Only then did he realize that Liu Jin was standing to one side with a troubled face, hesitating to speak.
"Tell me what's going on."
"Sir, there is an urgent military report from Northern Xinjiang. The Sixth Department of Hu Xiangxie's Zhongshu has come to Wuying Hall to pay an audience. Although the Holy One has not summoned His Highness, I am wondering if it would be more appropriate for you to go there at this time."
Zhu Biao took a deep look at the closed door and turned to leave, leaving only one sentence: "You stay here and wait. If things come to an emergency, I will live a good life."
"No!" Liu Jin responded quietly but firmly. After her father had gone away, she waved to a palace maid and gave some instructions. The palace maid stopped the palace maid who was bringing hot water and entered the delivery room.
Liu Jin didn't want to encounter any eventuality, but His Highness was not here. If it came to that point, it would mean that he would face the Crown Princess head-on.
No matter what the Crown Princess's wishes are, her status means that she cannot make unnecessary choices when encountering such problems.
If the mother and child are safe, she will naturally be praised as a virtuous person in both the government and the public. If the mother loses her son, it can be considered that she has fulfilled her duty, and one body has two lives. If there is no external reason, it can only be said to be God's will. However, if the mother loses her son, she will be slandered. This is because she is jealous.
…
Zhu Biao walked all the way out from Chunhe Gate, passed through the middle right gate, crossed the square in front of Fengtian Hall, and then entered Wuying Gate through the West Corner Gate before arriving in front of Wuying Hall. After being notified, he entered.
"I respectfully welcome His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Qianqiu."
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Zhu Biao first saluted the superior Lao Zhu, and then responded to the salutes of the ministers. His eyes glanced at the fact that almost all officials of the third rank and above in the capital had arrived, and there was no shortage of military honors.
It seems that there is no atmosphere for discussion. Could it be that Lao Zhu expected that his eldest son would definitely come, so he deliberately waited?
Since he didn't know the specific situation, Zhu Biao didn't say anything, and went straight to stand in front of his father, the Royal Eucalyptus. After Lao Zhu waited for his son to take his place, he directly threw out the information sent by Bei Xinjiang on horseback: "Yesu
Die'er is dead!"
Although Zhu Biao had long expected that Ye Sudieer would not end well, he did not expect that it would happen so suddenly. He was constantly analyzing the impact of this matter in his mind, how to obtain the maximum benefit from it, and how the network he had laid could be
Whether it works smoothly.
There was no longer any thought in his mind for women and children, and the civil servants and military officials were shocked by the news and started whispering among themselves.
The Minister of Rites listed the following: "The traitor who killed his master and usurped the throne, and plotted unforgivable treason, should deserve this retribution."
Everyone agreed, as if they were all subordinates of the former Mongol Khan Togus Timur. They were indignant.
This statement is obviously not nutritious, but it must be emphasized. Even if they are enemies, the superior will not be willing to tolerate anyone who kills the master and usurps the throne.
Just like if the former Khan Togusi Timur surrendered, the Ming Dynasty would gladly accept it and not begrudge the position of king. At least for ten or twenty years before the power of the grassland was divided, there would be no thoughts of murdering him, as long as
He is calm enough and can start well and end well.
But if Yesu Die'er leads the crowd and surrenders, the Ming Dynasty will not accept it. He will just die. Of course, the core reason is actually mainly because he cannot represent the Mongolian and Yuan orthodoxy, and his submission by usurping the throne will not appease the Ming Dynasty and cut off the grassland forces.
It's not of much help.
This can also be seen from his sudden death. The kings of Kublai Khan's line still occupy the most fertile pastures of the grassland, and there are many herdsmen for them to drive.
Yesu Die'er was able to successfully usurp the throne mainly because he encountered an excellent opportunity. The troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were crippled by the Ming Dynasty, and the kings of Kublai Khan's line also suffered numerous losses, so Yesu Die'er was allowed to take the throne.
Got into that position.
Originally with the support of the Oara tribe, they had already succeeded in taking that position. It was a chance to secure their position. After all, although they were not descendants of Kublai Khan, they were also descendants of Genghis Khan.
It's just that the war he launched against the Ming Dynasty to divert internal conflicts did not achieve any results, and the grassland happened to encounter a brutal white disaster, which made his position extremely dangerous. It was indeed foreseeable that he ended up with such a fate.
.
Chang Yuchun came out and said: "Yesudier was young and strong, so there must be a reason for his sudden death so easily. At this time, the Oara Tatars and Yesudier's cowardly Xue army may have started a chaotic war. I, the Ming Dynasty, should not miss this opportunity."
, Li Wenzhong should be ordered immediately to lead the elite knights to support Tianbaonu in entering the royal court!"
Hu Weiyong also said: "What King Kaiping said is true. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed. However, Wei Chen believes that it is still necessary to wait and see for some time. When the situation is complicated and complicated, it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy before rushing into the market. It will be easy to do so if you are not careful."
I lost my wife and lost my troops."
Dongping Hou frowned and said: "The military situation is like a raging fire. The opportunity cannot be missed and will not come again. Besides, if we have decided to support Tianbaonu, then why should we and the enemy think too much? We can just win over the Tatars to fight against Ola and wipe out the remaining ones."
Hu Weiyong did not argue with him, and bowed his hands and retreated. Several other civil servants and ministers, Wu Xun, spoke one after another, supporting everyone. Only Zhao Wenjing, the Minister of Household Affairs, opposed all proposals, feeling that Ming Dynasty only needed to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight to recuperate.
Strengthen yourself first.
After everyone had expressed their opinions, Zhu Biao said: "I think that I, the Ming Dynasty, should take advantage of the situation, but why must I support Tianbaonu at this time?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little confused. If we didn't want to support Tianbaonu, then why did we bother to save the eldest son of the former Khan under the butcher's knife of Yesudier and Oala cavalry.
When Chen Liang, the Right Prime Minister of Zhongshu, saw that no one answered, he could only answer the question himself: "It is because Tianbaonu has been relying on the Ming Dynasty to survive until now, and most of his generals have been attracted by the Ming Dynasty. This person's mind is also mediocre.
It is most suitable for me, the Ming Dynasty, to support me as a puppet to control the situation on the grassland."
Then he asked doubtfully: "Isn't it exactly what His Highness meant when he specifically protected Tianbaonu back then? Has there been any change now?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel tried to say: "Your Highness, you want to support others? The people in Oala are very hostile to the Ming Dynasty, so it is difficult to win over them. Although all the Tatar kings can do it, they all have tribal backgrounds. After supporting someone in power, there may be backlash. It is easy.
The gain outweighs the loss.”
Everyone was not clear about what the Crown Prince meant, but they did not dare to refute him directly. They could only look up expectantly, but they saw the Emperor leaning on his chin with a cold expression. They did not know what he was thinking, and no one dared to ask questions when they saw this.
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "It's not because of Tianbaonu, but because the current situation has changed suddenly, I have found another more suitable candidate."
He spoke a name to everyone's expectant and curious eyes. Everyone was a little strange and confused. After asking a few questions to a few people with surprised expressions, they became even more confused.
"I don't understand His Highness's foresight." Zhang Guanglie, the Minister of Dali Temple, came out and cupped his hands and said: "But if Sudie'er died so suddenly and suddenly, it was probably because of a mutiny in Jinzhang. As far as I know, his son Enke was still a child.
If there is no force to mobilize, it should be difficult to escape this disaster."
"Zhang Qing's concerns are reasonable. I am not sure about Enke's life and death at this time. However, there should be news from the pro-military governor's house today. If he is lucky enough to survive, then I would like to support this son first."
For the Khan."
The high-ranking officials in the DPRK are quite familiar with the nature of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness will never speak lightly about something that he is not sure about. Since he has said it, he has probably made arrangements in advance.
Everyone exchanged glances for a moment. If calculated in this way, there seems to be an explanation for Yesudier's death. No wonder the Holy One didn't say a word for so long.
Among the courtiers present, Hu Weiyong was the one who knew the most about the pro-military Duwei Mansion. After all, Mao Xiang had already taken refuge with him, so he knew very well that assassinating a dead soldier would be enough to kill a few insignificant grassland tribe leaders, but assassinating a Khan would
It is absolutely impossible to succeed.
However, in the past two years, the pro-military Duwei Mansion sent many people to the grassland with gold, silver and jewelry, and they never came back. The Duwei command comrade named Jiang who was responsible for directly commanding them is now missing. All he knows is that
He was promoted by the prince.
Although Mao Xiang tried his best to inquire, he didn't get much. Maybe the prince knew, but except the Holy Emperor, who dared to question the prince. Now that I think about it, those people should have been arranged to rescue Enke at the critical moment.
This arrangement was obviously not the prince's impromptu idea, but had been prepared several years in advance. The thought of it becomes more and more frightening.
