Zhu Shiyang's expression was grim, and he intuitively felt that there must be a follow-up to this matter, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly ordered to bring the guard into the hall.

When the guards entered the hall, they didn't say much, and directly handed over a letter to Zhu Shiyang, who couldn't wait to open it and read it, and was secretly frightened while reading it.

It turned out that the current situation of Nachak Hasselblad was exactly what Lu Wenyuan expected, and after the rebellion of Chi Wuliang in Warat, he held Chak Hasselblad and all the princes under house arrest, so as to control most of the military power in the tribe.

Chi Wuliang was extremely ambitious, and he had long been eyeing several important towns on the border of the Ming Dynasty, but Chak Hasselblad was conservative and cautious, and his strength was not enough, so he had not been able to achieve his wish. Now that Chakhasselblad is in his hands, he is naturally unscrupulous, and this time he coerced Chakhasu to pay tribute to Beijing, which can paralyze the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Dynasty mistakenly think that Wara has the intention to seek peace, and then raid with surprise soldiers, which is easier to succeed. Second, assassinating Chak Hasselblad in the territory of the Ming Dynasty can not only justify his succession to the throne, but also use this as an excuse to enter the Ming Dynasty.

Chi Wu's good plan has been decided, only the east wind is owed, but Chakhasselblad is miserable, always have to look at the faces of others to act, frightened but inevitably die. It was just when he remembered at the dinner party that he was afraid that his life would not be long, and he was sad, and he drank a few more glasses before he was coerced by the guards. Fortunately, the Ming Emperor had a clear eye, saw through it at a glance, and sent the imperial guards to protect him to save his life. Now Chak Hasselblad has a letter stating that if there is no accident in the assassination operation, it should be tonight, and it is to ask Zhu Shiyang to secretly change his residence for himself, and then send troops to ambush in the same place, and he will definitely be able to catch the assassin.

Zhu Shiyang couldn't make a decision for a while, he hadn't been a regent for a long time, and he wasn't very good at politics, so he was just a gangster in the past, but now he got serious, but he felt that it was safer to have someone by his side to discuss, and he thought of Lu Wenyuan for the first time, and immediately ordered Gui Xi: "Quickly, Xuan Lu Wenyuan will enter the palace." ”

Gui Xi was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, now that the palace door has been locked, I'm afraid Lord Lu won't be able to enter......

Zhu Shiyang interrupted him and said, "Isn't it okay to open the lock when it falls?" Also, didn't Chakhasselblad send 500 good horses this time? Someone picked a well-trained horse for Lu Wenyuan to ride, and told him to come as fast as he could. ”

Gui Xi was shocked for a while, it was forbidden to reopen the palace gate at night, but the prohibition of horseback riding in the Forbidden City was a rule set by the ancestors, and now Lu Wenyuan was the only exception, Gui Xi really couldn't guess what kind of attitude the emperor had towards Lu Wenyuan.

Half an hour later, Lu Wenyuan dismounted in front of the emperor's bedroom and came to see him in the starry night.

Zhu Shiyang didn't have the heart to talk to him, so he handed him the secret letter and asked, "What does Lu Qing think I should do?" ”

Lu Wenyuan was anxious but not confused, carefully read the secret letter twice from beginning to end, and said: "The emperor will do it for the time being, in this way, even if it doesn't work, there will be no loss." ”

Zhu Shiyang nodded immediately, did not hesitate any longer, and instructed Gui Xi: "You immediately send someone to secretly transfer Chak Hasu to Yanqing Palace, remember, you must keep it secret." Then go to the front of the emperor to point fifty personal soldiers, ambush at the original site, go quickly. ”

Gui Xi received the order and turned around to leave, but Lu Wenyuan stretched out his hand to stop him and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Mongolian warriors have extremely high martial arts, and the assassins are even more masters among the masters. ”

Zhu Shiyang thought for a while, nodded in agreement: "Lu Qing is reasonable. I had close contact with Chak Hasselblad's guards today, and I found that the guards were quite confident in their breathing and breathing, and their martial arts were definitely not low. All the masters who can be ranked in the big inner are among the Jinyi Guards, Guixi, you go and dispatch a team of Jinyi Guards and secretly ambush them. ”

Who knew that Guixi was embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Jinyiwei is not in the Forbidden City, and when the slaves and maids help Chakhasu complete the transfer, and then go out of the palace to call Jinyiwei, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

Zhu Shiyang just wanted to scold him for being useless, but he saw Lu Wenyuan clasping his fists and said: "Duke Gui is reasonable, the routes involved in these two tasks are indeed far from each other, and you need to send two people to do it at the same time to get twice the result with half the effort." If the emperor can trust Weichen, this matter of secretly transferring Chakhasu is better handed over to Weichen. ”

Zhu Shiyang nodded in agreement, and Lu Wenyuan and Gui Xi took the order at the same time.

There was a moment of silence in the dormitory. Zhu Shiyang paced back and forth at the door a few times with worry, his impetuous mind gradually calmed down, and he felt a little sleepy. Seeing that neither of them should come back soon, he lay down on the couch with his clothes, and after a while, he fell asleep.

When I woke up, the night was deep, and the candle tears of the candle in front of the bed had been piled up in several layers, and it was about the time of the child. Gui Xi has not come back yet, and the dormitory is empty, only Zhu Shiyang is alone.

Zhu Shiyang got up and moved his hands and feet, thinking about the matter of Chakhasselblad, and he didn't have the heart to sleep anymore, so he walked to the front of the hall and pushed the door open, intending to blow the night breeze to wake up.

Unexpectedly, there was a person standing at the door, moon-white civilian clothes, light cyan headband, and a slender body, but it was not who Lu Wenyuan was. At this time, he was facing away from the temple door, leaning on the pillar under the porch and dozing off with his head down, revealing a snow-white part of the back of his neck between his collars, which led to reverie.

Zhu Shiyang unconsciously looked greedily, but when he saw that Lu Wenyuan heard the sound of himself opening the door, he had already turned around, glanced at himself with sleepy eyes, and was about to bend down and kneel.

Zhu Shiyang's heart softened inexplicably, stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "It's so heavy at night, why is Lu Qing staying here?" ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "Weichen came back after transferring Chak Hasu to Yanqing Palace, I wanted to wait for news here, but I didn't want to fall asleep, please forgive the emperor." ”

Zhu Shiyang smiled: "What a crime this is." Lu Qing was sleepy, so he went into the hall to rest. ”

Lu Wenyuan said in fear: "The emperor's bedroom, how dare Weichen ......?"

Zhu Shiyang interrupted him, took his hand and smiled: "I want you to come in, you just come in." He dragged Lu Wenyuan into the hall.

Lu Wenyuan entered the hall, he was so panicked that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and sat on the edge of the couch with Zhu Shiyang to talk, but the preface did not match the afterword. Fortunately, after a short time, Jinyiwei came to report, and sure enough, he caught the assassin and was temporarily taken to Dongchang Prison, just waiting for dawn tomorrow morning, and then sent to Chak Hasselblad for disposal.

Zhu Shiyang nodded and said yes, and smiled at Lu Wenyuan: "In this way, even if Chakhasselblad's safety in Beijing is guaranteed, then Chi Wuliang will probably not be able to find an excuse if he wants to enter the Ming Dynasty." This is all due to Lu Qing. ”

Lu Wenyuan smiled faintly: "It's all the emperor's wise decision-making, and the micro ministers have no merit." It's just that the emperor has never thought that this time Chakhasu is safe in the territory of Daming, but once he returns to Warat and is controlled by Chiwuliang again, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death. ”

Zhu Shiyang said leisurely: "Then it has nothing to do with me." As long as he didn't die in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't find an excuse to enter the army by Chi Wuliang, and as for the rest, I didn't bother to care so much. Warat and the Ming Dynasty for so many years, Emperor Taizong died of illness on the way to conquer Warat, and now Chakhasu was rebelled by Chiwuliang, which is also his retribution, and I am willing to save his life, which is already benevolent and righteous. ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "The emperor's words are wrong. If Chi Wuliang wants to enter the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid it can't be stopped with an excuse. This excuse is gone, and there is another excuse, as long as he has the heart to find it, we will definitely not be able to prevent it. This time, his plan to coerce Chakhasselblad was discovered, and he may be able to suspend his use of troops against the Ming Dynasty, but it cannot fundamentally solve this problem. ”

Zhu Shiyang frowned and pondered for a while: "Then according to Lu Qing, what should I do?" ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "The only way to ensure the safety of the Ming border now is to prevent Chi Wuliang from taking power, he has no military power, so naturally he will not be able to lead troops to invade the territory." And to prevent Chi Wuliang from taking power, Chakhasu must not die, because only with him can he justifiably ascend to the throne of Khan. ”

Zhu Shiyang said: "According to what you say, I still have to protect him all the time?" This still works in the territory of Daming, but what should he do when he returns to Warat? ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "The emperor should send troops to help him rehabilitate and suppress Chi Wuliang." In this way, Chakhasu regained control of the military and government, and those troops stationed on the border were no longer at the disposal of Chi Wuliang. ”

Zhu Shiyang frowned and said, "Isn't this raising tigers for trouble?" Barbarian and untrustworthy, after Chak Hasselblad takes power, he will take revenge, what about a bite? ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "No." Chak Hasu was originally a mortal man, and he was saved by the emperor, and now he sent troops to help him rehabilitate, but to help people to the end. The emperor is so ignorant of his past suspicions, Chakhasu can only be more grateful, how can he take revenge and bite back. If this is the case, I am afraid that I am not worthy of being a human being. ”

Zhu Shiyang thought so.

Three days later, Chakhasselblad set out for Warat. Zhu Shiyang sent 500 personal soldiers to accompany him to protect him, and sent them all the way to the border of Warat, and personally repaired a letter, ordering General Zhenyuan in the northwest to lead 50,000 troops to help Chakhasu enter the territory of Warat to rehabilitate. After three days and three nights of fighting, Chi Wuliang was finally beheaded in front of the battle.

Chakhasselblad regained power, and was grateful for Zhu Shiyang's generosity, and solemnly made an oath in front of the whole army, that he and his descendants would be willing to be vassals to the Ming Dynasty, and would never take the initiative to lead troops to invade the territory. And the historian recorded this rehabilitation in the annals of history and passed it on to future generations to remember the kindness of the Ming Dynasty forever.

When the government and the opposition heard the news, they were in an uproar, and they all said that the ancestors could not collect the border troubles, but now they were accepted as subordinates without much effort, which shows the wisdom of today's saints. There are also Shang Shu and Prince who saw the emperor and the Mongolian guards at the state banquet that day, and others, and how Zhu Shiyang saw through the Chi Wu good tricks, and how he cleverly helped Chak Hasselblad get rid of the coercion of the guards. There was a congratulatory voice inside and outside the court, and even the prospects of the national fortune were clearer because of this.
