While the proclaimer was announcing the decree, Hu Lahachi suddenly interrupted. According to the court regulations, this was definitely disrespectful, and beheading was considered a minor offense.
However, what Hu Lahachi said was very pleasing to the ear and was in line with the imperial court's intention. If he were to pursue the matter strictly, it would inevitably chill people's hearts. However, it was difficult to grasp the right balance, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites didn't know what to do for a while.
After all, Zhang Siwei is the boss, and he said in a flash: "Hu La Ha Chi! The angel is announcing the decree in front of the emperor, how can you interrupt at will? I hope you are sincere and loyal, and I will not hold back this time without any further investigation!"
Zhu Yijun was also a little confused by Hu Lahachi. Did he think that these policies made you so excited? What Hu Lahachi said was very cute. Zhang Siwei's tone was still a little too strong, so he spoke warmly:
"Hu La Ha Chi, I know your sincerity. However, the court's laws must not be taken lightly. Just rest at ease and listen to the will. Your doubts will naturally be eliminated."
These words were still spoken in Mongolian, and the words were still correct. After hearing this, the Mongolian chiefs present realized that the sentence "The edict is very long, and you are not required to kneel" before announcing the edict was not practiced in advance. They all thought that the great emperor would say it. The Mongolian language is very special and seems very close. A few people, such as King Shunyi, think more about it and are a little frightened.
The Han officials who did not know that Zhu Yijun was proficient in Mongolian were all stunned. At this time, except for the interpreter of the Siyi Hall, no one in the court had heard of anyone who could speak Mongolian. How could they have imagined that their own emperor could speak so fluently!
When Zhu Yijun met Zhang Juzheng on the platform, he had a big plan for the future. In-depth study of Mongolian, Latin and other languages naturally became one of his ways to improve his skills. Within ten years, he set aside two hours every half month I have made some progress in learning languages. Mongolian and Latin have some similarities in some grammatical rules. Zhu Yijun does not want to master writing and reading in depth, so listening and speaking can be regarded as a first step.
At this time, he spoke casually in Mongolian, but his expression was deliberately indifferent, which made Chief Meng, the Han official of the Golden Horde, feel that he was becoming more and more unfathomable - to use the words of later generations, being without disguise is the most deadly.
After listening to the emperor's gentle explanation, Hu Lahachi kowtowed and apologized before returning to his seat. The decree officer glanced at the emperor secretly, pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, swallowed and continued reading:
"The fifth step is to open up new lands and immigrate people. There is only one person named Zaksa and one Lama Zaksa in each banner. If the rest of the people divide their land, they will become herders in a few generations. I will give you wealth and honor this time. The country is in Tongxiuye. North of the Sayan Mountains and east of the Beidi Mountain, the Luo wilderness is vast and boundless, and its size and radius are the same as those of China." [Note 1]
"Although there are tribes in this land, there is no written clan system, and even if there are soldiers who dare to fight, they are not the enemies of our two tribes. At the northern foot of the Altai Mountains, the Hatun River, the Yinshui River, and the Altai River are densely covered with water networks, and the plains are vast. Thousands of miles, two thousand miles from east to west. Although it is bitterly cold in winter and spring, it can be cultivated in summer and autumn, and the income from cultivation can feed China."
"God has given us a land to support all the people! If the two ethnic groups join forces, they can take advantage of the fertile land. The Han people farm and the Mongolian people herd it. What else can it be but a foundation for a century?"
Among the Mongolian chiefs, the Monan Mongolians don’t know the land of Siberia, but the Khalkha Mongolians do. After all, their pasture is at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains, and they know something about the situation in the north. And in the ancient legends of the Mongolian people, the Huns, The Xianbei, Mongolian, and Jurchen tribes on horseback have their roots in that wilderness—I heard they are all savages. Strange to say, these people become more civilized the farther south they go.
With the example of Hu Lahachi interjecting earlier, no one raised any objection. Besides, even if we are of the same race and species, we cannot seize its land and plunder its women's wealth? What have we been doing on the grassland for the past two hundred years?
Come on? As long as my tribe can survive, I don’t care who you are and whether you have a written clan system.
"Sixth, establish a capital to rule and station the ministers there. In order to conquer the wilderness areas, Monan and Mobei, five provinces will be established. Each province will have a Han capital to unify and a Mongolian capital to unify the two. The capital ruler will command the Han and Mongolian tribes.
The soldiers must not interfere with the government of Zasak."
"If there is a conflict or argument among the flag owners, and the Grand Lama cannot resolve it, I will set up another imperial minister stationed in Mongolia to personally handle it. The minister in charge of Monan will be stationed in Jinlianchuan, and the minister in Mobei will be stationed in Kulun. The orders of the two ministers have not been obtained.
If you obey, everyone will discuss it.
Here it comes, here it comes. All the previous bribes were just for the sake of this one plan - the emperor still wanted to seize troops and power! The so-called minister in Mongolia was nothing more than the governor of the Han region; the so-called unification of the three capitals of Han and Mongolia was nothing more than
The Han are superior and the Mongolians are inferior; the so-called coalition forces, the Mongolians are nothing more than pawns!
Although Luo Yewei's filter was added, the Mongol chiefs who knew what the emperor wanted were all aware of what the emperor wanted. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other, but they all pricked up their ears and listened, wondering about the golden account.
Is there anyone who has an outburst of temper and rises up in opposition?
The proclaimer didn't realize it and just continued reading: "Seventh..."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand on the throne and said: "Wait a minute." Although the official who announced the decree did not know what was going on, he immediately obeyed the decree and stopped talking.
Zhu Yijun picked up the new tea that Wei Chao had just brewed for him and took a sip. Then he placed the tea cup on the imperial desk and looked at the dark group of Mongolian chieftains in the golden tent in silence.
The Mongolian chieftains lowered their heads and did not dare to look up. Zhu Yijun did not speak, and the Han officials were also silent. The whole golden tent gradually became audible. Everyone could only hear the emperor picking up the teacup again and sipping again.
Take a sip.
After waiting for a long time, there was such silence in the golden tent. Zhang Siwei understood that the emperor wanted to subdue the chiefs and psychologically destroy their resistance. But faced with the black mass of men in Mongolian robes and left-sided hair, he
My heart was still pounding uncontrollably, and my eyes couldn't help but glance at the guard standing at the door.
In the increasingly suffocating air, a little voice finally came out. Huang Taiji, the leader of the Tumote tribe, and Temuer, who was conferred the title of King of Shunyi by the imperial court, took action.
He bowed first, then crawled from behind the coffee table to the side, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Temuer asked the angel to continue announcing the decree."
All the Mongolian chiefs fell down in the tunnel as if they were waking up from a dream: "My lord, please let the angel continue to announce the decree."
After the untidy petition, full of fear and trembling, finally came out, Zhu Yijun's voice was still in Mongolian, and his words were clear and unhurried: "Continue to declare the decree."
The proclaimer was infected by the powerful aura in the golden tent just now, and his tone first became a little waggish, and then became very deliberately rich:
"Seventh, add Enke and select talents only. Yuan and Zeng were a big country, and there were no heroes among the ethnic groups. But chasing water and grass, it is rare to learn from saints. I followed the example of the imperial examination in Han Dynasty and only gave Enke to Mongolians. Anyone who studies
The children who are motivated will be awarded the title of official in the court of the minister stationed in Mongolia or in the provinces after passing the examination. Those with outstanding talents will also have a place in the court - I will choose talents, not family."
"Since ancient times, countries must rise and fall, and small things make big things happen. From now on, I order you to live in peace according to this edict, farm at the right time, and herd all sheep, horses and livestock... ...All of the above are subject to the imperial edict.”
"In conjunction with my intention of cherishing the Yuan Dynasty: Just as the Mongolian and Han people are both black-haired and yellow-skinned, and the Chinese people are born in the same world between heaven and earth. Anyone who knows etiquette and justice and is willing to be a subject will be raised by me no differently than the people of Zhongxia. "
"If you follow the way of heaven and follow human affairs, the common people will be able to shepherd and farm in the near fortress and wilderness. You can use my power to command this tribe and become the leader of one tribe to serve your ancestors as a living Buddha. If so. If this is not planned, and if we still want to use the remnants of the army as a border threat, I will mobilize six divisions to go deep into the desert, and you will regret it!"
