The next day Asari saw Tuohuochi, Tuohuochi slipped his tongue and mentioned "It's like the Hongmen Banquet in the Han Chinese book".
Asari, who was bewitched by the friendliness of the Han people last night, suddenly regained consciousness.After a while, she felt something was wrong again, "The Oirats attacked us and the guards of the Ming army, but my elder brother sent envoys to negotiate a peace agreement. Why did the Ming army use force against the Tatars? Is the prime minister hiding something from me?"
Tuohuochi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Don't ask too many questions now, it's no good. The people of Ming Dynasty have nothing to do with me for the time being, and they may try hard and soft on you in the future. They get close to the prince to intimidate Concubine Khan mean."
He talked a little more today, and then said, "I guess, the Ming people don't want to tear themselves apart with us yet. Concubine Han has a weakness, and she is the easiest choice to break through."
Asari was still full of doubts, she asked, "Will you tell me the truth when you return to the grassland?"
Off Fire Equator "If you can go back, you will understand."
After hearing this, Asari's mood gradually became heavy, and she looked up at the surrounding scene.There are large fields, vegetable fields, and villages scattered among them. Everything that is unfamiliar, she began to miss the four seasons of the grassland, cattle, sheep, and tents.The Ming Kingdom has its own good places, but she prefers to return to a familiar land, where there are friends she knows and a way of life that makes her happy...
Sure enough, Tuohuochi's guess was right, and the next morning, Emperor Zhu Er sent someone to summon Asari.
Ashali was in a nervous mood. On the one hand, she was really a little curious, wanting to see what the very powerful and clever emperor of the Ming Dynasty was like. On the other hand, she was worried that the emperor would use the prince to coerce her, forcing her to explain things she didn't know.
She walked through the heavily guarded fence and came to a camp, only to see some soldiers were collecting tents.After waiting for a while, she was led to the front.
In front of the guards of honor, there were several people standing, and Ashali bowed and saluted while watching.Mongolians generally do not speak when saluting.
I saw the man standing in the middle leading the horse and wearing a tuanlong robe. He should be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.He is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his copper-colored skin is a bit rough, which doesn't seem to match the luxurious clothes on his body. The extravagance is purely set off by the decorations on his body.Such a big man who was obviously exposed to the wind and the sun, Ashali felt a little kind.
On the contrary, the two people around the emperor are more handsome.One is older and the other is very young. It looks like a person who was born well.
Emperor Zhu Er looked at Asari and said, "Concubine Khan knows how to ride a horse? Come with us, let's talk a few words on the way."
Asari nodded and said, "Of order."
After the emperor finished speaking, he stepped on the stirrup and rolled onto the horse's back vigorously and skillfully.
Chapter 933 Searching
The Tatars from Hamiwei have been in the army for several days.However, this was the first time Zhu Gaoxu had seen this Tatar concubine with his own eyes.
According to the classification after the Yuan Dynasty, she is a Semu person, that is, "people of various names" from the Western Regions and the west, and is different from ordinary Mongolians; because the Yuan Dynasty emphasized the use of Semu people, it is not surprising that these people can gain a foothold on the grassland .
In Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, she is a Caucasian who is similar to the Arab race in Central Asia, with slightly curly dark brown near-black hair and black eyes, but her face and skin are very different from everyone else.She looks very young, with a plump figure, and she looks good in Semuren.However, in Zhu Gaoxu's knowledge, the color-eyed woman looks good when she is young, but she ages quickly.
The large group of people marched along the road, surrounded by vast plains, and the vegetation withered at the turn of autumn and winter, making the scenery look a bit old and decadent.Zhu Gaoxu didn't take another ride, he would rather endure the dust on the road than stay in the carriage all day.
The Tatar khan concubine Asari was allowed to ride a horse beside Zhu Gaoxu, and her posture seemed to be that of a person who was used to migrating on horseback all the year round.After not speaking for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu observed her occasionally, thinking that she could fall asleep just by sitting on the back of a horse.
After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu finally turned his head and said, "Has Concubine Khan heard a word?"
Asari immediately raised her head and looked at him, "What?"
"I was sold, and I even counted the money." Zhu Gaoxu said.
Asari shook her head in confusion, "What is His Majesty the Emperor referring to?"
Zhu Gaoxu said, "Obviously, Alutai and Tuohuochi don't care about your life, nor Ben Yali's sweaty son. You can only become a pawn or a victim if you help them."
Asari asked, "What did they do?"
Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, and thought to himself that I still want you to explain.
He quietly observed Ashali's exotic eyes, and she was also looking at Zhu Gaoxu.I saw that her eyes were still puzzled, she didn't dodge, she looked very calm.This made Zhu Gaoxu have some intuition for a moment. Could it be that she really didn't know?
The civil and military people around Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word, just listening to the conversation between the two.
There was silence around for a while, and Asari couldn't hold back and asked again, "Why did His Majesty the Emperor know in advance that the Oirats will attack us?"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't answer, and said casually, "We should exchange with each other, it's only fair."
Ashali looked a little irritable and showed anger, but she didn't dare to attack.She asked, "When will His Majesty let us return to the north? You promised Alutai."
Zhu Gaoxu said, "Be safe and don't be impatient. You will not be able to leave for a while. I am a person of integrity, but first of all you have concealed something and suspected of deceiving. Concubine Khan should understand what it means?"
Ashali may have thought of her Mongolian prince, and she immediately showed a look of fear, and her spirits also shrank by eight points.
The unpleasant first conversation between the two ended here.At noon, the brigade stopped to rest.Zhu Gaoxu then found Duan Xuehen who was traveling with him, and instructed Duan Xuehen to accompany Asari to observe Asari's words and deeds, as well as her relationship with Tuohuochi.A person can pretend for a while, but a little longer may expose a lot of things.
In the afternoon the army approached the city of Jinan, but the escorts were tens of miles north of Jinan and did not go to Fucheng.Zhu Gaoxu then told Gao Xianning to leave the team temporarily and go to Jinan City to contact the local scholars and renew the friendship between fellow countrymen and classmates.Gao Xianning has a great reputation in all parts of Shandong, he can be regarded as a famous person, and he also has a lot of friends in the local area, as long as he goes back, he will be full of guests.
Zhu Gaoxu knew that Gao Xianning's home was in Jinan, so he made a joke before leaving, saying that "wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, like walking in brocade clothes at night".
However, the army did not stop here, and continued eastward to Binzhou.
When Zhu Gaoxu thought of Tang Sai'er before, he decided on this itinerary.
He knew that Tang Sai'er was from a certain county in the south of Binzhou, because he had been to Binzhou, Shandong when he was running around for his livelihood.What impressed him deeply was the huge statue beside the Yellow River Bridge, that is, the statue of Tang Sai'er.It's just that the Yellow River is not here now, and in the south, no one knows about Tang Sai'er.
Because Tang Sai'er became a hero against feudal rule in later generations, so he has a high status.However, the position determines the mentality. Now that Zhu Gaoxu has become the biggest feudal ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he certainly doesn't like those who intend to destroy his rule.
There were too many prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Gaoxu would not go to a certain place to inspect it. This time, it was just because he remembered the place where Tang Saier lived and was nearby. He wanted to visit on a whim. The soil of the leader of the rebel army is what it looks like.
The brigade traveled from the north of Jinan City for seven days to reach Binzhou City.But Zhu Gaoxu did not enter the city, and led his army to continue southward for another ten miles. The forward scouts found a lake, so Zhu Gaoxu ordered the army to station on the east bank of the lake.
The vanguard general distributed money to the villagers, and then expropriated a village, and the soldiers built fences and barracks around the village.After Zhu Gaoxu and others arrived at the barracks, he lived in a rammed-earth tile house in the village.
The bureaucrats of the Third Department of Jinan City and the prefect of Binzhou were obviously very concerned about the emperor's troops, but they did not dare to violate the government's decree in front of the emperor and come here to reward the army without authorization.Soon the prefect of Binzhou ordered a group of officials to come to the Chinese army in light clothes, asking for orders to prepare food and fodder for the army.However, Zhu Gaoxu refused. The army does not need the military rations of the Shandong local government at all. After a while, when everyone arrives at the seaside, the official ships from the south will be able to replenish the army with supplies; .
Zhu Gaoxu warned the magistrate that they should immediately stop recruiting and recruiting young men under various names, and the government order should not be changed for three years.
Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu left the barracks with his team of followers and an official from Binzhou, and looked around along the dirt road.Duan Xuehen was in the cavalry and brought out the Tatar Concubine Asari, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about them.
The dirt road is quite spacious, and it looks like it can be used for driving, but there is no paving of bricks and stones, and the dust is very heavy. Even the branches and leaves on the roadside are covered with mud.Zhu Gaoxu and others rode slowly. He saw that the villages around him were dilapidated and old, but from time to time he could see white smoke and hear the sound of chickens and dogs. Everything was very peaceful.
At least in the situation that Zhu Gaoxu saw with his own eyes this year, there was no sign of turbulent uprising in the local area.
Everyone wandered around until noon, when they suddenly heard the sound of blowing and blowing from a nearby village.Zhu Gaoxu stopped to watch, and Hou Hai, a civil servant beside him, immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is a Taoist instrument, and there is a white matter over there."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at it for a while, then looked around and said, "Prepare a gift, let's take advantage of lunch."
Hou Hai hurriedly persuaded him, "I am afraid that the common people will not receive me well."
Zhu Gaoxu looked down at the military uniform on his body, then looked at the red robe on Hou Hai and the green robe of the officials in Binzhou, and said, "Then I will be Mr. Hong for another day, and Hou Zuoshi is an official passing by. table to eat and drink."
After hearing this, Hou Hai had no choice but to make arrangements.
A group of more than a dozen people rode on horseback and walked up the path. When they approached the village, the gongs and wind music of the Taoist priests became more and more clear. Even the Taoist priests could faintly hear singing like chanting sutras, but they couldn't understand what they were singing.
When Zhu Gaoxu followed the sound and rode close to the place where the funeral was done, he jumped off his horse and led the horse on foot.I saw that the courtyard was full of old square tables inside and outside, and there were cries in the courtyard.White flags are hung on the bamboo poles outside the courtyard gate, and black and white letters are pasted on the door frame.
The villagers all looked sideways, looking curiously at a group of people who were obviously officials.After a while, the host's family came out, and they all knelt at the door to thank them.It was probably Hou Hai who sent a big gift, even if it was someone from the government, it was a good intention to send a gift to the funeral.
Zhu Gaoxu said, "People cannot be resurrected after death, and the master's family mourns and changes."
