Wara is a Mongolian tribe, Tai / ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out the Yuan, forced to move to the northwest, although the name of the Ming Dynasty subordinate, but often with the heart of not subordinate, later Taizong Zhu Di five times personally conquered Mongolia are for this, for a long time, it is really a big trouble for the northern border.

However, the visit of the leader of Warat, Chak Hasu, to the dynasty this time is likely to mean that Warat wants to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Shiyang ascended the throne, it was all because of the remnants of the emperor's five personal expeditions that he was still there, so that he could temporarily have no worries about boundless troubles. But in the long run, once Warat perceives that the Ming Dynasty is weak, it is likely to lead troops to attack again, and it is difficult to say whether Zhu Shiyang can inherit his ancestral legacy and pacify the border passes. Therefore, this time the Wara Dynasty is particularly important, not only related to the diplomatic direction of the imperial court in the future, but also related to the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty in the next few years.

However, Zhu Shiyang was very depressed, the Wara Department came to the court, or the tribal leader came to the court in person, which was a blessing that his ancestors had not asked for in the past few generations of the world, but in him it meant to wear that heavy court clothes and go to the early dynasty that he had not been to in those years. Zhu Shiyang had an extremely headache for a while, seeing that the day of Chakhassel's arrival in Beijing was approaching day by day, and suddenly it was tomorrow, so he didn't sleep for a night, and he got up obediently at the fourth watch of the next day, and changed into the most formal set of court clothes with Guixi, put on the crown, and went out of the heavenly palace to go to the court.

The ministers have not been to the court for a few years, for a while the old ministers can not suppress the excitement in their hearts, and the new ministers can not suppress their curiosity, they are all waiting outside the noon gate early, the emperor started to drive the order of the Qing Palace, and immediately solemnly divided into two columns, from the left and right doors into the main hall to salute. For a time, the entire Forbidden City reverberated with the majestic voice of "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live".

Zhu Shiyang behaved decently to let the secretaries calm down, and when he saw that there were a lot of people, he couldn't help but be nervous when he went straight to the white marble steps outside the hall from in front of him, and when he saw that the hour was almost up, he quietly ordered the leader of the Chuan Wara tribe, Chak Hasu, to enter the court.

Chak Hasselblad and his entourage had arrived in the capital last night, and temporarily stayed in the inn arranged by the Ministry of Rites, and only waited for the emperor to meet the emperor tomorrow before they could stay in the palace.

Zhu Shiyang's dictation was passed down one by one, and he never entered the palace gate, and after the tea time, he saw Chakhasselblad and his party coming, and the ministers along the road stood neatly on both sides. Chak Hasu arrived outside the main hall, untied the sword on his body with the two guards, entered the hall, knelt down on one knee, performed the Mongolian salute, and said fluently in Chinese: "The minister Chak Hasu has seen the great tomorrow, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Only then was Zhu Shiyang able to take a closer look at the leader of Warat. I saw him dressed in Mongolian costumes, a five-colored robe over his knees, narrow sleeves and his hands, and on a hot day, his neck was still decorated with a whole white fox skin, covering his head with sweat. The gray hair on the head is tied with a leather headband and braided into several small braids that hang down the sides of the face and the back of the head. The body doesn't seem to be very good, and he has been panting slightly, and he tries his best to suppress his cough from time to time, so as not to lose his manners.

Zhu Shiji thought to himself, it turned out that the person who had always been regarded as a big trouble in my heart by my Daming looked like this, and now it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of, even if it is a tiger, it is a sick tiger, but I don't know why he has become like this, why do he have to come to the court in person, wouldn't it be good to send an envoy as before, and he still has to go to the court to greet him. The dark center was full of thoughts, but with a smile on his face, he raised his hand and ordered Chak Hasselblad to be free of courtesy.

At this time, a royal eunuch stepped forward, took the tribute list in the hands of the Chakhasselblad guards, and read aloud:

“…… Tribute: 500 good horses in the Western Regions, 500 mink skins, and 200 white fox skins,...... 2,000 bundles of dried venison, 1,500 bundles of horse meat, 200 roe deer, and 100 wild boars...... Thirty carts of air-dried wild vegetables, fifty jars of pickled vegetables, and ...... wine"

A gift slip with a ruler long, read it for half an hour. Zhu Shiyang sat on the dragon chair and dozed off. Finally, when the voice of the imperial eunuch stopped, Zhu Shiyang came back to his senses, thanked Chak Hasselblad like this, and asked some things such as how was this trip, it was an honor to come to the court in person, but it could be regarded as a retreat from the court.

The rest is for the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Fan Zhefu to come forward, and there will only be one state banquet tomorrow evening. Zhu Shiyang temporarily let go of a big matter, and as soon as he returned to the harem, he was so sleepy that he couldn't support it, so he changed into civilian clothes and fell asleep, and it was afternoon when he slept.

Gui Xi saw that his master had woken up, and came over to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu came an hour ago, please ask the emperor to approve today's recital." ”

Zhu Shiyang was not fully awake yet, so he yawned and said: "The old rule, let him read it outside, and I will approve it after reading it." ”

Gui Xi said: "That's what the slave said to Lord Lu, but Lord Lu said that before kneeling and reciting the chapter, you must see the emperor first, and there is something important to report." After the report, I went outside to read the chapter. ”

Zhu Shiyang secretly thought, hey, I also told me about the conditions, I really can't give a good face in the future, I don't know what kind of trouble is going to come out this time, I have to meet him. So he instructed Gui Xi: "Then let him in." He sat up from his bed and lazily sorted out his clothes.

Lu Wenyuan entered the hall, knelt and bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say. After that, he lowered his head and waited for Zhu Shiyang to answer.

Zhu Shiyang didn't bother to take care of his stubble, and continued to fiddle with his clothes and belts. Lu Wenyuan waited for a long time and didn't follow, looked up at Zhu Shiyang aggrievedly, and had to continue embarrassedly: "Weichen learned some time ago that General Zhenyuan in the northwest came to report that Wara has been secretly stationing troops at the border recently, and there is a fear that there will be a change. And it was discovered by the secret agents inside Warat that Chakhasselblad's stepson Chi Wuliang rebelled and placed many princes under house arrest with the intention of usurping the throne. General Zhenyuan wrote tens of thousands of words for this to attract the attention of the imperial court, but it did not achieve results. ”

"Today, Chak Hasselblad personally went to Beijing to pay tribute, and the intention of reconciliation is obvious, which is a good thing, but it contradicts the previous border pass troops and intends to attack. The so-called abnormality is a demon, and it must attract the attention of the emperor. ”

"At the time of the court at noon today, due to his low grade, Wei Chen was standing at the back of the hall, and he could just see the situation when Chak Hasselblad and the guards around him untied their swords. But Weichen saw that Chak Hasselblad did not wear a sword, but the two attendants behind him, long and short knives, were wearing quite neatly. ”

"The Mongolian people have been nomadic for generations, and the living environment of the grassland is harsh, and the tradition of never leaving the armor has been passed down from the ancestors, even if it is the former Yuan emperor, they all follow the ancestral system and have the habit of wearing swords. Now Chakhasu is the leader of the Warat tribe, but he doesn't even wear armor, which is really against common sense. Seeing that he was old and frail, Weichen didn't have to go to great lengths to come to the court in person, and the two close attendants around him, although they were always on the left and right, looked arrogant, and they were quite afraid of Chakhasselblad, and they were obviously coercing him. ”

At this point, it was really a bit earth-shattering, Zhu Shiyang didn't care too much, but he couldn't help but be secretly shocked at this time.

Lu Wenyuan saw that the emperor showed a contemplative look, and only said that he had listened to his words, and said more and more eagerly: "From this, Weichen boldly guesses that Chakhasu entered Beijing to pay tribute, I am afraid that it is not out of his original intention, but is threatened by the usurping of power. Chi Wuliang secretly stationed troops at the border pass, with the intention of attacking, but pushed Chakhasu to our court, and made people coerce with swords, clearly wanting to assassinate Chakhasu during the period of tribute in Beijing, and then blame our court, and invade the border pass on the grounds that our court's protection is unfavorable. As soon as Chakhasu died, not only did the Khan of Warat belong to Chi Wuliang, but also found a reason to enter our dynasty. In this way, we can explain the unreasonableness of a qiē clearly. ”

When Zhu Shiyang heard his explanation, he suddenly felt a little enlightened. It's just such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which is really wonderful. It's just that it would be so light that Lu Wenyuan guessed it? If you listen to it once you believe it, it will be proven that it is false in the future, won't you be laughing and generous? Zhu Shiyang secretly calculated in his heart, but in the end, he still felt that the matter was not going to come to this, and decided to only treat Lu Wenyuan's words as a fart as before.

Lu Wenyuan said: "Of course, this is just Wei Chen's subjective speculation, maybe things are not so complicated at all, but for the sake of insurance, Wei Chen still has the courage to build the emperor, focusing on strengthening the protection of Chak Hasselblad during his stay in Beijing, so that he can be safe." ”

Zhu Shiyang had already made up his mind, but he felt that he was making a big fuss, and snorted meaninglessly at the moment: "Lord Lu is finished?" ”

Lu Wenyuan didn't know the emperor's holy will, so he had to say: "Wechen finished speaking." ”

Zhu Shiyang said: "Then go out and recite the chapter." I'm so tired that I need to sleep a little longer. ”

Lu Wenyuan saw that he didn't care, and wanted to kneel down and admonish again. But the words have come to this point, everything that should be said has been said, and I am afraid that I will provoke the emperor's wrath again, so I have to retreat for the time being, just hoping that the emperor can listen to his words for a minute and a half.
