At this time, Gao Jingshi had just learned that Fei Yingdong was among the envoys sent by Ye He. However, at this time, the other party had already set off from Tianjin and would not be long before arriving in the capital. He would not specifically send an order to his cavalry.
Recruit Fei Yingdong for a while as soon as possible.
Gao Pragmatic was very interested in meeting this famous general among Nurhaci's "Five Assistant Ministers" who was known as the "enemy of ten thousand people". Not for any other reason, but it was hard for Gao Pragmatic to believe that a man was the enemy of twelve people.
When he was young, he could shoot the "strong bow of more than ten stones".
Gao Situ may have forgotten things after playing too many conspiracies. When Liu Wei went into battle for the first time at the age of thirteen, he had already destroyed the city. Not only did he lead his own elite troops of Japanese soldiers to break through the dangerous obstacles and ascend the city wall first, but he also attacked them on the spot.
Killed two of the three barbarian kings.
When it comes to young heroes, it is not impossible to find him who is highly pragmatic.
However, Fei Yingdong was able to become the head of the five ministers under the command of Nurhachi, who was full of capable people. He must have the ability and talent. The reason why he is not well-known in later generations is mainly because he died a little early and received most of the credit.
All occurred during the Jurchen Unification War.
His biggest victory against the Ming army was to break through the left wing of the Ming army and kill Du Song in the Battle of Sarhu. As for the successive captures of Kaiyuan, Tieling and other places, he just performed normally: he did a good job.
Not bad, but not particularly outstanding. Of course, he can be regarded as the first to defeat Ye He later.
Considering that Fei Yingdong died of illness at the age of fifty-seven just one year after the Battle of Saarhu, normally speaking, he must have been no longer at his peak during that battle.
He is so good at fighting even when he is not at his peak. He is truly worthy of being Obai's uncle. His bravery is indeed not something to be underestimated.
In addition, Gao Pragmatic is also very curious. In the original history, Sorguo took his son Fei Yingdong to seek refuge with Nurhachi, which seems to have happened in the 16th year of Wanli. Now it is the winter of the 15th year of Wanli. Logically speaking, Sorguo should have already
He started to consider joining Jianzhou, why did he go to Yehe now?
Gao Pragmatic thought about it and felt that the most likely thing was that he had changed the situation of the Jurchens. It was even possible that his attitude had affected the judgment of many people, including Sorgo.
The Su Wan tribe was just a small tribe, sandwiched between the Ye He tribe and the Wula tribe, and it must have been unsatisfactory. Especially since the Ye He tribe was regarded as the strongest Jurchen tribe after the rise of Qing Jiali and Yang Jili, Lian Hada
The nominal co-owner doesn't take it seriously, and it is naturally impossible for him to have any polite attitude towards the surrounding tribes.
So as Su Wanbeile, Sorguo's attitude towards Ye He must not be much better. This is also very likely to be a major reason why Sorguo took refuge with Nurhaci in the original history.
However, the situation may have changed now. Ye Hebu's temper has probably not changed much, but they have gained more backers.
Although the Ming Dynasty in the original history always insisted on ensuring the status of the North and South Passes, it did not have much good feelings toward Ye He. Li Chengliang felt that Ye He was more unruly, so he initially supported Hada, but later he discovered that Menggebulu was really
Unable to hold him up, Nurhachi began to support Nurhaci. As mentioned earlier, Nurhachi was extremely deferential to the Ming Dynasty in his early years, and he was even more submissive to Li Chengliang.
The current Ming Dynasty does not have such an attitude. Although the Jurchens are not familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty, let alone analyze it clearly, at least they will not misunderstand the actions that Ming Dynasty puts on the table - Ming Dynasty has changed from supporting
Hada turned to support Ye He.
In this battle in northern Liaoning, if we put aside everything and just look at the result, it would be that Ye He and Hada were beaten at the same time, and the Ming Dynasty chose to directly send troops to help Ye He rescue the siege. As for Hada... the Ming Dynasty let Meng Gebulu and Nurhaci
Shake hands and make peace, make friends.
What?
Nurhachi has beaten me in my yard. You, the father, don’t save me. You want me to make friends with Nurhachi?
The Jurchens may not have read any books, but they can still see such an obvious difference in treatment because they don't have eyes.
What does this mean? It means that in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, Ye He is already more important than Hada.
Why did the Ming Dynasty think so? The various Jurchen tribes had their own calculations: Hada's decline seemed irreversible. Although Ye He had a challenger like Nurhaci, at least judging from the current strength, Ye He still clearly had the advantage. So.
, supporting Ye He can immediately make Ye He the de facto "Lord of Manchuria" and ensure the general stability of the entire Jurchen situation.
At the same time, Ye He controlled Beiguan and was close to the declining Nanguan. It was very convenient to replace Hada's position without causing the decline of Kaiyuan. It was also in line with the consistent principles of the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, the Fushun Pass controlled by Nurhaci is inherently inferior to Yehe Beiguan in terms of geographical location and trade volume. If the Ming Dynasty turns to support him, it will be a lot of trouble and may even lead to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.
The original status declined, thus affecting the Ming Dynasty's overall layout of Liaodong.
Finally, there is another point. Ye He is in a position directly facing Chahar, which makes Ming's support of Ye He a win-win situation: Ye He needs Ming's support to ensure that he will not be inexplicably beaten by the Mongols again.
Fat beating, and the Ming Dynasty also needs a relatively powerful Jurchen tribe to contain Chahar for itself, and even join the Ming Dynasty in launching an attack on Chahar in the future.
People who understand the interests behind these will naturally judge Ming Dynasty's next attitude based on this, which will definitely be to support Ye He and suppress Jianzhou.
At this time, no one among the Jurchens must have dreamed of defeating the Ming Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty cannot be defeated, of course they can only change with the change of the Ming Dynasty's attitude. The Ming Dynasty chose Ye He, which means that Nurhachi has nothing to do.
Opportunity.
Sorguo did not go to Nurhachi, but instead sought refuge with Ye He. It was probably because of these reasons.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, after thinking about it pragmatically, Gao shook his head a little. Ye He's current two Belles do not seem to be as powerful as Nurhaci's methods. Nurhaci's conquests are the biggest
One of its characteristics is that conquering a certain tribe requires complete control, and the first priority to achieve this kind of control is to abolish the title of Baylor of the leader of the tribe and grant him an official position within the state.
Baile is the past Arrow Master and the current leader. The presence of Baile means that this tribe still exists, and everyone still has the idea of "recovering Xu Tu". Once Baylor is gone, everyone will be leaderless, and their morale will naturally slowly dissipate.
.
Ye He's current approach seems very stupid. By analogy, it is a bit like Xiang Yu back then. Originally, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he had eliminated all countries and established a unified dynasty. Who knew that after Xiang Yu established his dominant position, he would continue to unite all countries as he did before?
Separate the feudal states and be content with being an overlord.
There is no need to delve into the meaning of overlord. Simply put, it means the leading brother among the kings. But the problem is that being the leading brother is meaningless, because you have not widened the status gap between you and other kings, and you are still just a king.
But Liu Bang was much smarter. When Xiang Yu was completely defeated, Liu Bang immediately proclaimed himself emperor, letting everyone in the world know that he was different from the king. He was the emperor, one level higher than the king.
What does this mean? It means that when he wants to attack the kings in the future, he will naturally have righteousness in mind - I hit you to obey the orders of heaven and defeat the disobedient, and you hit me to commit rebellion and treason.
Obviously Ye He's two Beile did not reach this level of thinking. They were still satisfied with being "the most powerful Jurchen chieftain".
But Gao Pragmatic doesn't intend to teach students. In his opinion, the current situation is not bad: it's fine if you are willing to be the Jurchen leader. At least after I take care of Chahar, I won't suddenly find out when I turn around.
The Jurchens were unified.
Gao pragmatically sent an order to wait for Ye He's envoy to arrive in Beijing. He did not need to let them meet him immediately. Those who should pay tribute must pay tribute first, and all matters will be discussed after the tribute is completed.
In other words, you should go to the Ministry of Etiquette for arrangements first, and then come to me after the "official business" is completed. However, Gao Pragmatic did not specifically explain what to do about Meng Guzhezhe's matter.
In fact, he himself didn't know what to do as the best choice. This matter was not only his family matter, but the key was to consider the emperor's reaction. Although Liu Xin believed that the emperor would not object, he himself was concerned about peace.
The emperor's relationship was still very cautious.
A thousand-mile dike breaks in an ant nest. No matter how heavy the trust is, it cannot withstand all kinds of small misunderstandings. The best way to maintain trust is to avoid any misunderstandings and take precautions before they happen.
Gao Pragmatic may be lucky today. He was thinking about how to find an opportunity to let the emperor know about this matter, and Zhu Yijun happened to send someone to summon him.
The people in charge of the ceremonial department didn't know why the emperor summoned Gao Situ, but they told him that the emperor was in a good mood today and didn't seem to be worried about anything.
Gao Jingshi felt relieved and signaled Gao Mo to reward him with a few taels of silver, and then followed the eunuch into the palace.
After entering the palace, he discovered that Zhu Yijun was not waiting for him in the Palace of Wenhua this time, but in the Palace of Qianqing. This was a bit abnormal, because since Gao Jingshi resigned as governor of Liao Dynasty, when Zhu Yijun summoned Gao Jingshi for political matters, he would basically choose to be there.
Wenhua Palace, while summoning in Qianqing Palace is mostly to talk about private matters.
Private matters? Recently, there seems to be no news from Huang Mengyu or Chen Ju that the emperor has any private matters worth mentioning. What's going on?
Although he was full of doubts, Gao Pragmatic still did not suffer from stage fright and walked into the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace with a normal expression.
In fact, it stands to reason that the Qianqing Palace was the emperor's main residence, including sleeping (if he did not go to the harem) and working here. However, Zhu Yijun's habits were somewhat different. When he was the prince in his early years, he had been studying and observing politics in the Wenhua Palace. So he liked to go to the Wenhua Palace to deal with government affairs later. When he was in the Qianqing Palace, he liked to summon his trusted ministers in the West Nuan Pavilion, and to review memorials and so on in the Dong Nuan Pavilion.
Today, it was indeed a miracle. After summoning Gao Jingshi, he actually got Dong Nuan Pavilion.
As soon as Gao pragmatic entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, he realized that something was not right. There were no eunuchs around him, and of course there were no palace maids. When he looked up, he only saw the emperor sitting alone by the gilded stove, thinking about something. Gao pragmatic didn't even notice it when he came in.
Seeing the heater, Gao Pragmatic discovered that the temperature in Dongnuan Pavilion was not right, and the earth dragon was not burned. He thought to himself: What does the emperor mean by this? Does he want me, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to see how frugal he is?
"The minister of household affairs is highly pragmatic..."
"Ah, you scared me! Okay, okay, don't see me anymore, come over and warm yourself by the fire." Zhu Yijun seemed to be really startled, and he quickly waved him over after seeing that it was Gao Pragmatic.
Gao Pragmatic was dumbfounded. This guy was acting wrong. What could have made him distracted like this?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Any other minister would not have dared to go and warm up the fire with the emperor carelessly, but Gao was a pragmatic person, and it was no big deal to warm up the fire. When they were studying, they had secretly shared the table for dinner many times (press According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, ministers cannot sit at the same table as the emperor). Which minister outside has this honor?
So Gao pragmatically walked over politely and politely, and Zhu Yijun acted even more "heroic". He stretched out a leg and gently hooked the leg of a pineapple flowerwood chair next to him, brought it to the heater, and pursed his lips: " Now, sit down and talk."
Good guy, this treatment is a hundred times better than the ordinary gift of a seat.
However, Gao Pragmatic was still very "ungrateful" and joked: "Your Majesty, if your actions are known to the outer court, I will have to go to court and resign."
"We are the only two in the whole Dongnuan Pavilion, how does the outer court know?" Zhu Yijun curled his lips: "I see it's so cold outside, you must have walked all the way in from the Donghua Gate, I'm afraid you're almost frozen, right? Stop talking about what you have and what you don’t have, and sit down quickly, I have something important to tell you."
Gao Pingshi then sat down obediently and stretched out his hand towards the large gilt heater to keep warm.
This heater is relatively uncommon. Because it is placed in a palace, it cannot see the open flame. However, through the exquisitely carved hollow structure, the heat of the fire will emerge from it, and it will be very warm when you get closer.
This thing is also available in Gao Yongshi's house, but it is smaller, and the hollow carvings are obviously different. The ones in the emperor's house are all in the shape of dragons, while the ones in Gao Yongshi's house are mostly traditional mascots such as cranes and turtles, and some They are the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.
As soon as he sat down, Zhu Yijun coughed lightly and said, "The Queen sent someone to invite me yesterday."
Gao Pragmatic was stunned, but his words were a bit sensitive, so he couldn't ask directly. He just looked at the emperor with slightly doubtful eyes.
"Looking at your blank expression without speaking, I knew you had misunderstood." Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly and said, "The queen has no other intentions. She wants to talk to me about something."
"Oh..." Gao Pingshi suddenly realized and asked, "What is it?"
Zhu Yijun said: "She plans to ask Li Shizhen to see a doctor." After that, the emperor looked at Gao Pragmatic seriously and asked: "You brought this up before, but you still think that the queen has not been pregnant again for several years.
Is it because of that...injury?"
"That time" refers to the fact that the queen gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter. It is said that the situation was quite dangerous at that time, and the queen's condition was not very good. Not only did she become sick, but she never became pregnant again.
After hearing this, Gao Pragmatic breathed a sigh of relief: After trying every means to persuade her for several years, the Queen finally figured it out. Thank God.
