Bright Spring

The officials who had originally arranged to escort the Tatars were ordered to go to Peiping.The reason is that the Tatars are far away, and the emperor's northern tour team should wait in Beiping to see them.

However, the northern patrol team stayed on the south bank of the river for a long time; because they followed the army civil and military to seek stability, they advised Zhu Gaoxu and others to cross the river after the water dwindled, so people waited until September to cross the river.In addition, the guard of honor and the escorting army walked very slowly, and stayed in Zhao Wang's mansion for several days, so that the Tatars who came all the way from the Hexi Corridor had already caught up with the northern patrol team.

There are some changes in the plan, but it doesn't delay things.

When Wang Yu led the crowd to catch up with the northern tour team, the brigade had just entered the ground of the Shandong chief envoy.First, Wang Yu came to meet and reported the detailed process of the trip, how to obey He Fu's dispatch, how to encounter the Wara people's war and so on, all things Zhu Gaoxu already knew.Wang Yu was nothing more than a personal experience, so he explained it in more detail.

At dusk that day, the army camped near a village.

At this time, the commander of Jinyiwei made Zhang Sheng walk into the big tent of the Chinese army. He glanced at the civil and military personnel present, then bowed to Zhu Gaoxu, bowed his head and whispered, "Among the troops escorting the remnants of the Tatars, there is a captain of Jinyiwei. After seeing the minister, he claimed that he seemed to recognize the little Mongolian prince."

"Like?" Zhu Gaoxu asked casually.

Several officials sitting below all looked sideways when they heard Zhu Gaoxu's voice.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing from the confidant ministers, and Zhu Gaoxu can speak normally.

Zhang Sheng bent down and said, "According to the school captain's report, before the reinforcements from General Wang and General He arrived, the Oirat army had broken through the guard formation. At that time, everyone thought that the situation was over and the situation was critical, so the Mongolian concubine Asari found a Boy, hold him in your arms. The captain also observed that Concubine Khan has been taking care of the boy in the rebellious army. Therefore, I guess that the boy is the son of Concubine Khan, the little Mongolian prince, but there is no information yet. exact proof."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "I know."

"Resignation." Zhang Sheng cupped his fists and bowed, took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Wang Bin said happily, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the truth of this matter will come to light. As long as the Tatar prime minister is arrested, tortured, tortured, and then threatened by the little Mongolian prince, the Tatars will not be able to recruit anything?"

Qi Guogong Qiu Fu suddenly turned his head and showed a playful smile.

Gao Xianning said kindly, "Dongguo Gong's words are indeed effective, but in this way, he will tear himself apart with the Tatars. At this time, if the Oirats know the Tatars' conspiracy, the most hated Tatars is the Oirat leader Maha Mu, why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Those Tatars have entered our territory, don't worry. Let's have dinner first."

Everyone immediately relaxed.After walking all day and eating only dry food at noon, everyone was hungry.After a while, the sergeants came in with wine and meat, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became cheerful.

Chapter 932 Coercion

It has been two days since a group of Tatars came to the Ming emperor's team.

The weather was fine, with a bright red sun rising above the flat horizon.On the road in the distance, the frontmost people and horses have already lined up in a large group and are setting off in the direction of the rising sun.Asari waited and watched for a while, of course she could see that people had to go east today.

It is said that it is through the Ming Dynasty, but after the Tatars came here, it seems that it is not so easy to escape and go north.All kinds of worries and wild thoughts are accumulating in Asari's heart.

The two sides that used to fight side by side, the Han people also fought bloody battles to protect Asari and others; but the situation changed slightly, and the Han people became the biggest threat to everyone.

At this moment, Asari suddenly found that two men were watching her son there.One of them is wearing a colorful brocade robe, a black gauze hat, and a single sword on his waist; the other is wearing armor.The man in armor was pointing at the child, while the man in brocade robe looked in the direction, then nodded slightly.

Ashali felt nervous for a while, feeling that something was wrong.There are many family members in the remnants of the Tatar tribe, and there are more than a few children. Why are the two Han people observing her son alone?

After a while, the man in brocade robe walked over with a bunch of candied haws, handed it to the prince with a non-smiling smile, and then stretched out his hand to stroke his head.

Ashali managed to hold back, and did not rush forward to stop the brocade robed man.She knew that at this moment, she had no way to stop the Ming people from doing anything, and reacting rashly would only make things worse.

Fortunately, the man in brocade robe left soon after he gave the candied haws.After the little prince ate it, he didn't see any abnormality. Thinking that even if the people of Ming Dynasty had to deal with a child, they wouldn't be able to poison it in public?Asari is still too concerned, so she thinks more.

After the Ming army sergeants closed the tents, the Tatars gathered together one after another, some on horseback and some on foot, and everyone set off with the Ming army brigade.

Ashali came to Tuohuochi's side on horseback, and said in a low voice, "For some reason, the Ming people may already know the identity of the baby."

Recently, Tuhuochi seems to be feeling a little heavy.He glanced at Asari, and said, "Concubine Khan pays too much attention to the prince. We always thought we could hide our thoughts, but it was difficult."

"What should I do?" Ashari asked with a frown.

Tuohuochi didn't answer.

Asari thought for a while, and then asked, "Ming people knew in advance that the Wala people wanted to kill us, how did they know?"

Tuohuochi still didn't make a sound.

Ashali was silent for a while, and she couldn't help but said with doubts, "According to the general of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty got some news and made some inferences. What kind of news is that?"

Tuohuochi finally said, "Concubine Han, don't ask too many questions, being impatient is useless, just wait and see."

Asari felt like there was a fire in her heart, and she couldn't stand the fiery attitude.But she couldn't help it, and finally took a breath, then sighed, and had to give up.

That afternoon, the army stopped moving forward, and people entered a village, and Ashali and others were arranged in a brick courtyard.After a while, two handsome Han girls came, wearing moon white dresses, and an eunuch.The eunuch is quite young and claims to be Wang.

The eunuch Wang said slowly in Chinese, "Our family heard that Concubine Khan understands Chinese.

talk? "

Ashley nodded yes.

The eunuch said, "Tuo Huo Chi is the prime minister of Mongolia, and Concubine Khan is the former Khan concubine of Mongolia. The Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, so today Dali Temple Minister and Qi Guogong presided over the banquet. Invite Concubine Khan to have a meal together. Get ready, our family will send someone to welcome Concubine Khan before you hour."

Asari said, "Thank you, Princess Daming, for your kindness."

The eunuch then turned his head and said, "It's good to serve Concubine Khan."

The two girls knelt and said, "Yes."

The eunuch bowed again with Fuchen in his arms, said "Farewell", then turned and left.

The little lady was busy boiling water, and she had to wait for Asari to take a bath and change clothes first, and brought some clean clothes.

Mongolians don't usually take a bath. The Asut tribe is originally a Persian. After living in the Mongolian grassland for a long time, their habits have become the same as the Mongolians.Women also use a cloth towel to wet and wipe their bodies at most.But Asari didn't refuse to take a bath, and she didn't think too much about it. Maybe she felt that the Han people were more friendly at this time, so she also subconsciously and carefully behaved better.

Ashali was actually very comfortable in the bathing process, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.The warm water sprinkled with flower petals was filled with a delicate fragrance, and the little girl applied various balms and powders to her, and then washed her.Although the customs are different, Asari feels that women seem to be naturally accustomed to a good and comfortable environment.

She changed into soft and clean underwear, but the outer clothes were not given by the Han people, and she was still wearing her Asut robe.

In the evening, Asari came to the place where the imperial concubines stayed for dinner, and immediately felt that she was out of place with the Han women.

The two imperial concubines are very beautiful. Their appearance looks completely ungrounded. There is neither trace of the sun, nor the breath related to the land and grassland, just like fairies who are not stained with dust.Imperial concubines should not only bathe and clean frequently, but also make their appearance very fine.Black hair, delicate fair skin, surrounded by silk and jewels.

Ashali's mood was a bit complicated. While despising the extravagance and affectation of these women, they were weak and useless, seeing that they didn't do anything at all, let alone their horseback riding and archery skills; at the same time, they marveled at their beauty and luxury.As a woman, Asari knew in her heart that if men did not consider the role of women, they would like to look at such women.

Several women had meals together, and from time to time they talked about what they had seen and heard along the way, as well as their own living customs.Asari is also paying attention to the two imperial concubines. The highest-ranking imperial concubine looks like the princess described in the story, with exquisite facial features, a graceful figure, and a comfortable smile in her bright eyes.The other imperial concubine is very attractive, wearing a large robe with bulging breasts, with a bumpy figure, a beautiful oval face with red lips and white teeth, smooth and fair skin, and glamorous radiance.

Compared with the women of Asut, the imperial concubines have typical Han faces, with less prominent facial contours.But Asari has seen many other Mongols, as well as some Han slaves, and she is used to it.

Ashali used to be particularly wary of the enemy's greed for her beauty, because if a slightly better-looking woman in the Mongolian tribe was robbed, it would almost belong to someone else's property.But after seeing these two imperial concubines, Asari no longer worried about Emperor Zhu Er.

The imperial concubines praised Ashali for her beauty several times, maybe it was polite words, but Ashali was also very happy.

supper, asha

When Li returned to the brick-walled courtyard where they lived, she became very curious about Emperor Zhu Er for a while.Although she was very worried that the emperor would be unfavorable to her son; but today's peaceful dinner made her feel that the Han people did not seem to be too hostile.After all, on the grassland, it is a great kindness to be invited by a Mongolian to enjoy food together.

However, Tuohuochi's dealings with the ministers of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to be that pleasant.
