I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"You did a good job." Zhu Youxiao praised lightly, and then said:

"Which tribes outside the customs accept these Shanxi merchants' funds and hide their family members and assets, they should all be found out."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Go back to Your Majesty, everything has been investigated."

"There are fourteen tribes in Monan, and... Taining King Yier Deng..."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's calm eyes finally moved slightly, and he confirmed, "Yi'er Deng? Is the news true?"

"The news is accurate!" Wei Zhongxian said: "My lord, the subordinates of the servants have also found out that King Taining has a close relationship with the Qu family, Fan family, Zhang family, and Wang family in the Shanxi merchants."

"Recently, King Taining has been communicating with Jianzhou Huang Taiji again. I'm afraid they are planning something..."

"Hmph, I've seen that he has ghosts in his mind." Zhu Youxiao was not without surprise, snorted coldly, and said directly:

"Wait no more, pass the decree to King Fuyu and King Duoyan, close the Internet cafe!"

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback, the emperor didn't do anything for a long time, those Shanxi merchants who had already been pressed on the chopping block, did they even have arrangements for this? !

Chapter 6 and Nine Conquer Taining Guard

Yier Deng was the most hesitant of the three guards in Saibei when he took refuge in Daming earlier.

At that time, the North Three Guards of the fortress sent troops, and he was also the most able to dawdle. The troops sent out and the enthusiasm for fighting were not high.

Zhu Youxiao has always remembered these situations, so he was not surprised when he heard the news that Yier Deng Nei was married to Shanxi merchants and outreached to Houjin.

To deal with Shanxi merchants, it is not enough to just eradicate their hometowns in the pass, and their "partners" outside the Great Wall must also be wiped out.

It's not about killing donkeys.

After Tainingwei was wiped out, Zhu Youxiao actually got nothing except getting rid of a traitor early and further establishing his prestige on the grassland.

What's more, these lands are not worth sending troops to guard at all. It is the best choice to allow Duoyan and Fuyu tribes to use them as pastures.

Wei Zhongxian, on the other hand, was quite surprised.

He has always wondered why the emperor didn't take the Shanxi merchants directly two months ago. After all, it has been brewing for so long and all conditions are ripe.

But he didn't expect that his old man was playing such a big game of chess, even the Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall were included.

It seems that this so-called net collection is no small matter.

Dongchang wants to arrest people wantonly in Shanxi, and the frontier army also needs to stand ready to assist the tribes loyal to the court to wipe out the traitors.

But for Zhu Youxiao, this is not the end.

Eliminate this group of disloyal and obedient tribes, and then use the captured spoils, that is, the people, pastures, cattle and sheep of the disloyal tribes, to reward a wave of loyal tribes.

Daming will actually lose nothing, but Zhu Youxiao, the apocalyptic emperor, will have far more prestige on the grassland than either Lin Danhan or the newly succeeded Huang Taiji.

In addition, the assets obtained from the search of Shanxi merchants in the country will also greatly enrich the treasury, enough for the next battle.

With this foundation, Daming can call on all the ministries to wipe out the Chahar tribe, the golden family left by Genghis Khan, and completely integrate Monan Mongolia.

If that step is reached, the once glorious and powerful Mongol Empire will end in his own hands.

But the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and it is not known whether there will be any changes in the middle.

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, soothed his mind, and soon returned to his usual calm appearance, got up and said:

"Go back to Xinuang Pavilion."

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed behind.

It is worth mentioning that the Huxin Pavilion, which was originally surrounded by water, has changed a lot now.

That Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian fell into the water by themselves, after all, only their master and servant knew the truth of the matter, and the two of them acted as if they were real, so no one doubted it.

On the contrary, the palace learned a lesson and felt that although the scenery of Huxin Pavilion was romantic, it was indeed too dangerous.

After asking Queen Zhang Yan for instructions, the Palace Bureau sent people to build four straight corridors around the Huxin Pavilion and widened it by a circle.

After Zhu Ciran, the eldest son of the emperor, and Zhu Shu'e, the eldest daughter of the emperor, were born one after another, there was a lot of hilarity in the originally dreary inner court.

After having a prince and a princess, Zhang Yan became more concerned about the dangers around Ouchi.

For example, the Huxin Pavilion is guarded by little eunuchs and maids around the clock, just in case any prince or princess accidentally falls into the water while playing around.

In fact, the changes in Ouchi have been quite big under Zhang Yan's management in recent years, but Zhu Youxiao rarely comes out, so he can't see it at all.

Even if I saw it like this just now, I didn't care at all.

After all, being an emperor, especially the emperor in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there are too many things to worry about. Unless you really have a leisurely heart, it is naturally difficult to notice these trivial details.

……

About thirty miles north of Datong, Guihua City.

Thinking back to the battle of the left wing in the fourth year of Tianqi, it took more than a month, and with the help of the Ming army, the various tribes actually defeated the strong with the weak, and beat the more than [-] cavalry in Nachahar to the ground.

After the war, the various Mongolian ministries that surrendered to Ming Dynasty received thousands of prisoners of war in Chahar, male and female, as well as countless horses, cattle and sheep.

Although more than [-] Datong people who were taken away were returned, compared with these gains, they still took advantage of it.

Victory in the war brought joy to the left-wing ministries and households of Sanwei herdsmen to decorate with lanterns and festoons, and to wear red and green.

As an important city for Mongolian governance handpicked by the Ming Emperor, Guihua City has been full of joy for several months.

In Fuyu Palace, Zaisai was dressed in casual clothes, sitting on the floor, without the slightest expression of intimidating subordinates that he used to have when he was in Fuyuwei.

Now he is used to the care of these Han maids, and he is even more used to the aristocratic life of stretching out his hands for clothes and opening his mouth for food.

Compared with now, I used to live in a yurt like a beggar.

Since there are a lot of tribal lords present today, and the leader Zaisai has no airs, the lords of all tribes are also free.

All the lords were yelling, guessing and drinking, making a lot of noise.

Zaisai came to Duoyan Wang Yongxiebu, patted him on the shoulder, and asked loudly: "Brother, why are you sitting? Come, come, drink this bowl of wine!"

Although Yong Xiebu drank, the atmosphere at his table was still somewhat reserved.

why?

Now Zaisai also understood.

On the left of Yongxiebu is the left-wing minister of the original Mongol Empire, who is also the current missionary minister of the Ming Dynasty in Guihua City, Kangkaer.

On his right hand is the eunuch who came back to preach the decree.

Of these two people, one was an enemy in the past, and the other was an existence that could not be provoked. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for Yong Xiebu to be caught in the middle?

Originally, Yongxiebu and Kangkaer were enemies, but now they were sitting side by side, drinking and eating meat together, which made both of them feel a bit at a loss.

The key point is that the Xuanzhi eunuch of Ming Dynasty was sitting on the sidelines, and if there was a slight disturbance, it might be reported back to the capital to inform the emperor.

This is no joke, Yong Xiebu's favorite and only son is currently studying at the Imperial Academy of Martial Arts in Daming.

All the lords here are like this.

Kangkaer also knew that it is better to resolve the grudge than to tie the knot, so he stood up first, and toasted a glass of wine in front of the eunuch and Zaisai:

"The cavalry under King Duoyan are all sturdy and well-trained. Don't they have some unique skills?"

Hearing this, Yong Xiebu's face suddenly turned eggplant-colored, and he waved his hands again and again:

"No, no, it's nothing."

Perhaps out of sincerity, Kangkaer wanted to clear up the past, but Yong Xiebu was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Come on, let's have one for each of us, let's see who finishes eating first?" At this moment, Zaise deliberately changed the subject and handed over a roast leg of lamb in the basin.

Yong Xiebu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled gratefully at him, took a big bite, and his mouth was full of oil.

After eating and drinking, his heart changed, he said:

"Let's forget about the past, now we are surrendering to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty together, so we must work together and put aside the past!"

"Come on, Brother Kangkaer, I respect you!"

Kangkaer was taken aback, quickly put down the leg of lamb in his hand, took the wine glass and drank it down, clinked the glasses and said with a smile: "The coalition forces of all ministries will definitely be able to attack Taining in one fell swoop this time!"

"When we return in triumph, we will celebrate!"

Chapter 6 Only He Can Be Called a True Hero

Yong Xiebu ate a few bowls of wine, blushed like Guan Gong, and gradually became louder and bolder:

"Hey? Zaisai, don't you have a beautiful daughter?"

"I heard that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all had Sangongs and Six Courtyards. Our emperor seems to have only one empress and three concubines, right? How can this match his status? This is an opportunity!"

"Your daughter, in my opinion, just marry into Guannei. Your son is also in the martial arts academy, so he just happens to be a companion!"

"Your daughter has become Daming's imperial concubine, so it's a good thing for us Mongolia and Daming to marry each other!"

When mentioning this matter, Zai Sai had no reluctance.

Uziyet was born in a branch of the gold family and a descendant of the hero Genghis Khan. He was naturally qualified to be the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, his daughter Utia, who is 16 years old this year, is proficient in bow and horse, heroic, good-looking, and can fight the enemy in battle. I don't know how many princes in the various tribes have fallen in love with her.

It's just that she has a strong nature and always says that she wants to marry a real hero in this world, and she doesn't even look down on ordinary prairie reckless people.

In order to find a suitable husband for her, Zaisai had to worry a lot.

This time he heard the drunken Yong Xiebu mention it, but he was taken aback.

Indeed, if we talk about the true heroes of the time, Lin Dan Batur from the Chahar Department and Huang Taiji from Jianzhou may all be counted.

But these two people only have the spirit of heroism and no dignity of emperor at all. They are even Uziyet's mortal enemies today, and they are not as good as the Ming emperor in the pass.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who personally conquered and settled the southwest, was only 22 years old, but he repeatedly defeated Chahar, regained Liaodong, and subdued all the tribes. He can be called a generation of Mingjun and Holy Lord.

Isn't that heroic enough?

Satisfied, Zaisai stretched out his hand and took out a bow wrapped in a pink square handkerchief from his bosom, shaking it in front of everyone:

"That's right! You see, this is the token of love for the little girl."

"She said that if she finds that real hero, she will give this bow to that hero with her own hands to show that they are inseparable."

"This bow is so beautiful, just like the eagle soaring over there!" Kangkaer praised and said with a smile: "If any woman would make such a token of love for me, I would die for her!"

Zaisai squinted his eyes, immersed in the joy of his daughter being conferred the title of Imperial Concubine by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in public.

The words of someone below disturbed his daydream.

"What's so good about being an imperial concubine? I heard that every year Daming recruits new girls from all over the country to enter the palace, and there must be two to three thousand people."

"These women in the customs are all selected from thousands of people. Their skin is soft and smooth, not much better than the rough girls in our grasslands? But they can't even see the face of the emperor!"

"If Utia goes, she will not be a widow!"

"If you don't believe me, go ask the prince, is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Zaisai's expression also became a little unnatural. He looked at Wang Cheng'en aside and said:

"Eunuch, are these things true?"

Wang Chengen didn't know how many things he had done for Wei Zhongxian, and how much cleverness he had done in front of Wang Chaofu, that he seized the mission to go out of customs, and he didn't go back just to declare an order.

Just now when the group of Mongols were talking, he was shocked, thinking that if this matter was facilitated, it would be a great achievement!

So he rolled his eyes and said:

"It is true, but there are also false ones. The rumors are not credible after all."

Zaisai hurried forward and presented a bowl of tea respectfully, because he knew that the eunuchs who came to Daming to proclaim the decree would not drink alcohol.

Wang Chengen took the tea and said with a smile: "Your Majesty not only wants to govern the entire Daming, but now you have to deal with the affairs of hundreds of ministries in the left wing and the northern part of the Great Wall."

"Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, how can you waste time on the love of your children?"

"It's just that all men have this affection, and His Majesty is no exception. Our family has heard His Majesty read it, saying that the harem is too depressed and lacks a vigorous woman."

Yong Xiebu laughed loudly, patted Zaisai on the shoulder vigorously, and said directly what was in his heart:

"Brother, isn't this your daughter Utia who is talking about it? Hurry up and give her to the Great Emperor!"

Kangkaer was naturally happy that all the tribes and Daming would get closer, and came out to persuade:

"Yong Xiebu is right. Utia is a stunner, which prince and lord on the grassland doesn't covet it?"
