Chapter 510: Lin Dan Khan wrote a letter to the state and became a minister

The person in charge of negotiating with Lin Dan's envoy Boyan Taishi was Wang Zhizheng's in-law and his daughter-in-law Wu's grandfather Wu Xingfang.

This Wu Xingfang, was a master in the small county town of Huai'an Prefecture in Nanzhili, and later Wang Zhizheng came to suppress the thief, and found this talent who was close to the sixtieth year, (see the fourth part of this book for details: "Smoke and Rain Tower") and immediately recommended, more than three years, from a small master, to the year of the sixtieth year, promoted to eighteen levels, and became the head of the Ming Empire's household book, and later Wu Jue Zhishi, Wu Xingfang became the secretary of the military department, and entered the cabinet, worshiped the prince and the prince, and was deeply favored by Emperor Chongzhen!

Become a powerful minister of the Ming Empire whose rank is no less than Wen Tiren!

Wu Xingfang was promoted by Wang Zhizheng, and he is a family member, so he knows how to repay Wang Zhizheng, for Wang Zhizheng, who promoted him, Wu Xingfang defends everything, and for Wang Zhizheng's political enemies Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Wu Jue, Tian Ruoying and other bigwigs, he will do his best to control and delay!

So this time, Wen Tiren contacted the Jianzhou spies to prepare to murder the Boyan Taishi sent by Lin Dan Khan and sabotage the peace talks, but it was also Wu Xingfang who found Liangfu in time and discussed countermeasures with Liangfu and Huang Zongxi overnight, and surrounded Miao Yanlou with lightning speed, and burned all forty or fifty Jianzhou spies alive in one fell swoop!

When Master Boyan heard that he had been saved by the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but be very grateful, and he brought gifts to Wu Xingfang's mansion that night to thank him.

Wu Xingfang turned it away, saying that the two countries intersected, and saving lives was for official business, and there was no need to receive gifts.

This matter reached Chongzhen's ears, and Chongzhen couldn't help but praise: "Wu Ge Lao is really a loyal minister!" ”

Although Wu Xingfang did not meet with Boyan Taishi, Boyan knew that Wu Xingfang, Wang Liangfu and Huang Zongxi had a life-saving grace for him, and Wen Tiren had a killing intention against him.

At this time, Zhang Song, the envoy of Wang Zhizheng, returned to Chahar, reported Wang Zhizheng's grand cause to Lin Dan Khan, and persuaded Lin Dan Khan not to be the first rat at both ends, which could only cause the consequences of being besieged by Jianzhou and Daming!

Master Boyan wrote a letter to persuade Lin Dan Khan to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Song also persuaded Lin Dan Khan to be a vassal.

And the crown prince Ezhe, who was fed by Jianzhou, wholeheartedly wanted Lin Dan to return to Jianzhou.

Lin Dan Khan's three favorite people had a disagreement, and at this time, Wang Zhizheng's soldiers and horses were only more than a hundred kilometers away from Chahar's lair! And the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou have also broken through the defense line layer by layer and attacked the heart of Chahar!

He could only rely on rational analysis, and finally decided to write to the Ming Dynasty.

On April 13, Lin Dan's second batch of envoys came to the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty and presented the letter of state to Boyan, and Emperor Chongzhen listened to Wu Xingfang's advice, on the one hand, he waited without moving, and on the other hand, he ordered Wang Zhizheng to stop using troops against Chahar, so as to give Lin Dan a kind of confidence.

However, Wang Zhizheng still did not obey the holy decree this time, and continued to send Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu to storm Chahar's lair.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard about it, he asked Wu Xingfang: "Why did Wang Zhizheng ignore my sage and surrender the whole country that Chahar had beaten??" Did I mean to occupy Mongolia?? ”

Wu Xingfang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Wang Zhizheng surrendered the whole country of Chahar is because Mongolia is different from our Ming Dynasty, they are nomadic people, and they live in two places. Attacking Lin Dan Khan does not mean that Lin Dan Khan will be destroyed, but it is a means of shock, Boyan needs pressure, the Mongols are different from the Han people, they do not settle for benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, they only believe in force, they only obey the strong! Therefore, Wang Zhizheng has done a good job with the policy of promoting peace! ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and no longer issued a holy decree to Wang Zhizheng.

After Taishi Boyan got the credentials, he asked for the holy opinion without saying a word.

Emperor Chongzhen was not as calm as Wang Zhizheng, and immediately received Taishi Boyan with Wu Xingfang.

I saw Boyan come in a Ming official uniform, knelt down and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen three times and nine times, and then presented the national letter with both hands.

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen believe what Wang Zhizheng said, only by promoting peace can Mongolia be completely obedient. Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, raised his hand and said: "Master Boyan has worked hard, in recent days, I have been busy with official business, and I have no time to meet you, and I don't have enough time to see you today, so to make a long story short, if we have anything to say, we will seize the time to discuss, and if there are any policies, we will seize the time to agree!" ”

Boyan raised his head and said in fluent northern official dialect: "Long live the emperor, I, Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, are now being attacked by the Ming Dynasty and Jianzhou, we have been fighting with Jianzhou for a long time, but I don't know why the emperor offended the Celestial Empire, so that the emperor fought hard and surrendered the whole country directly to Chahar?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "This is to ask you Lin Dan Khan, I have no old grudges with the Great Khan, but the Jianzhou Emperor Taiji has repeatedly sneered about my Ming Dynasty from Xifengkou, which has made our Ming Empire mourn all over the wilderness, and the people are not happy, you as a friendly neighbor have not sent troops to rescue, Chahar's Zalut Department is more than 300 miles away from Xifeng's eloquence, last time my metropolitan governor Wang Zhizheng pursued the Jianzhou general Mang Gurtai, Zalut actually took advantage of the fire to rob and was directly slaughtered by Wang Zhizheng, is this unreasonable? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's eloquence is very good, and he doesn't need to prepare words, so he actually doesn't know how to answer what Boyan said.

Boyan thought for a while and said: "The reason why I couldn't rescue is because although I, Chahar, unified Mongol, but the tribes are not like the Celestial Empire, like arms and hands, so Zalut did not obey the orders of the Great Khan and secretly attacked the Heavenly Master, and I would like to express my deep apologies on behalf of the Great Khan to the great Bogda Khan (Mongolia's honorific title for the emperor)!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, since you are here, I will give you a chance to mend your ways!" After all, you Mongolia is a foreign country, and you don't understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith! Remember, this is the last time for you to warn you, and if something like this happens again, I will not forgive the whole country if it surrenders, even if it is far away! ”

Emperor Chongzhen originally had a deep personality, and when he spoke, his gloomy tone made Boyan feel excited: This young man in his early twenties is so young and old that he is not angry and mighty!

Boyan hurriedly said: "The emperor is so tolerant, how can we, as subordinates, not understand the Sacred Heart? Today, I have come to hand in my credentials to the saint! ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction: "Say, what kind of national letter is it, and you still want to open it in person?" I have a lot of work, maybe I'm not in the mood to read Lin Dan's national letter! ”

Boyan hurriedly said: "Returning to the Holy Shrine is the letter of state for the whole of Mongolia to pay tribute to the great Bogda Khan!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked! Only Emperor Chongzhen and Wu Xingfang nodded as if nothing had happened, so they nodded and did not speak.
