Chapter 906: Two Foxes
When Zhu Gaochi saw Xia Xun, the first sentence was: "Xining Hou Song Sheng died of illness!" β
Xia Xun listened to the "ah" sound, his heart was suddenly empty, he had been together for so long, and he had a friendship, not to mention that this old general was simply the general of the Ming Dynasty, the general of the Yang family, the border pass of the town for a long time, and the hard work was high, although he knew that the old general was getting sick and weak when he was in Xiliang, and he was afraid that he would die soon.
Zhu Gaochi's second sentence was: "The envoys of Shahru, the fourth prince of the Timurid Empire, and the grandson Sultan Hari are about to arrive in the capital. β
Xia Xun regained his consciousness and said unexpectedly: "The prince summoned him as a minister, does he want the minister to receive the envoy?" β
Xia Xun hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter...... The emperor is not in Beijing, it seems that it is more appropriate to arrange for the Ministry of Rites to come forward, if the ministers need to participate in it, the prince can let the Ministry of Rites make a claim, so as not to be taken advantage of by the villain. β
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and smiled bitterly, and said: "Otherwise, I said this matter alone, just because there were three news from Xiliang, this is one of them, you know the situation of the Timur Empire best, after they arrived in Beijing, they had to ask the labor Guogong to come forward to receive and explore its reality, and the lonely heart was open-minded, and there was no need to turn to the Ministry of Rites. What Lone really wants to talk to you about is another thing. β
Xia Xun looked solemn and said, "Prince, please speak!" β
"Come on, come on, sit down!"
Zhu Gaochi pulled Xia Xun to the chair, pressed him into the chair without saying anything, and then walked to the other side.
His chair was a specially made Taishi chair, which was two laps larger than the usual model, but it was easy to sit in.
Zhu Gaochi sat still. The little eunuch served tea to the prince and the prince, and Zhu Gaochi took out a copy of the urgent music and said, "The situation inside is very detailed, the prince will take a look at it first." β
Xia Xun took the chapter, unfolded it and took a closer look, it turned out that something had happened in the Western Regions.
Xining Hou Song Sheng was old and sick, and the treatment was ineffective. Recently passed away, this recital was written by Song Hu, the second son of the old Marquis of Song, and it was originally just a funeral recital. If this was the case, Zhu Gaochi would not need to call Xia Xun to discuss, he would directly seal the chapter and forward it to the emperor's imperial review.
However, Song Hu pasted a supplementary page behind the already written piece, and the handwriting on the attached page was sloppy, which was in stark contrast to the neat handwriting in front of it. Apparently. Song Hu was about to present the funeral chapter to the emperor when he suddenly received urgent news, and because of the urgency of the situation, he hurriedly wrote it.
There is only one mention in the accompaniment: Arama is reversed.
Aramaya, the leader of a Mongol tribe in Xiliang, was at odds with other tribes and Han people because of his unruly temperament, and was originally intimidated by Song Sheng's prestige. He was able to endure. As soon as Song Sheng died, his tribe clashed with other Xiliang people over grazing, so they rebelled.
Aramaya raided Suzhou, occupied Suzhou as a base, and then sent two messengers, all the way to Qilian Mountain to find Totobuhua, all the way to his friend Talini, intending to form an alliance against the Ming.
He didn't know that since he shooked off and didn't spend Wan Songling to become the Great Khan of Warat. In order to ensure his safety, the Ming court not only tightly sealed the news of Zhentokh Buhua's death, but also controlled the real Agadorji, and all the herdsmen in the ministry moved inward and moved elsewhere. As a result, the person who went to contact the person who took off the flower pounced.
And his friend Talini did not agree to join him in the rebellion. Talini was the leader of the Chijin Mongols and was named the Chijin Mongol Thousand Households by the Ming court. He was not as arrogant as Aramay, in front of the interests of the entire clan. Personal friendship had to be put aside, and Talini refused Aramaya's request, and in order to clear himself, he also arrested all six envoys sent by Aramaya and sent them to the Marquis of Xining.
Song Hu is now temporarily leading the military administration of Xiliang. Sent troops to encircle and suppress Aramaya, but lost the first battle. Alamaya killed Liu Bingqian, the commander of the Ming army, and other Ming generals, and now he is recruiting troops, and using his identity as a Mongol and a Muslim, with the intention of calling on the two largest forces in Xiliang to be used by him.
Although Song Hu began to take charge of the military and political affairs of Xiliang for his father several years ago, there is an old man in the family who is sitting there, which is very different from his own overall mastery, he is worried about the anti-army forces, so he can no longer take care of his father's funeral.
This matter is indeed very important, the two missions of the Timurid Empire had already passed Suzhou before the rebellion of Aramaya, otherwise they would know about the civil strife in Xiliang, even if they would not let go of the dispute and fight the idea of the Western Regions, in diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty, they could also use this as a condition to bargain and strive for more benefits.
Zhu Gao said anxiously: "Guogong, this matter is urgent!" But my father is not in Beijing, if it is transferred to the Beijing Division, I am afraid that it will delay the hour, and the battlefield situation will change rapidly, and once the Western Regions is in chaos, the consequences will be unimaginable. But this matter involves the transfer of troops and horses, and Lone cannot make claims without permission, and the forces of all parties in the Western Regions are complicated, and Lone is not very clear, once he makes a wrong decision......"
Zhu Gaochi rubbed his hands and said with a wry smile: "You can't ignore this matter, and you can't take care of it......
"Wait!"
When Xia Xun heard him say this, his expression couldn't help but move, and he quickly picked up the recital, took a closer look, and gently said, "This is the recital written by Song Hu to the emperor." β
Zhu Gaochi said: "Yes! β
Xia Xun said: "Before the emperor's northern tour, he had already issued an edict to the whole country, and Song Hu should know that the emperor was in Beijing. And the news from Xiliang to the Central Plains is faster to Beijing than to Nanjing! β
Zhu Gaochi was stunned and hesitated: "Guogong is talking about ......"
Xia Xun said: "Prince, in my opinion, I'm afraid that General Song Hu will ...... this concert."
Xia Xun was halfway through speaking, suddenly stopped, and said with a slight smile: "The imperial palace has Zuo Yude Yang Shiqi, who is also a great talent in the world, and the minister wants to discuss this matter with Yang Yude in detail first, and then play back to the prince, is it okay?" β
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Naturally." Immediately, he called someone to summon Yang Shiqi, let the small study room out for the two of them, and went to review the chapter first.
As soon as the prince left, Xia Xun showed Yang Shiqi the piece, and said to Yang Shiqi: "What does Shiqi think?" β
Yang Shiqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered, "Xia Guan thinks." General Song Hu may have written more than one chapter. β
Xia Xun said happily: "Not bad! The emperor is not in the capital, and the prince suddenly encounters such an important military event, which will inevitably lead to gains and losses, and chaos will be in chaos. And General Song Hu is actually the same, the Marquis of Xining has just passed away, and Xiliang has a mess. Song Hu is only temporarily acting as the general soldier of Xiliang, and his status is undecided, which is similar to the current situation of the prince, the general embarrassment, the same gains and losses. β
Yang Shiqi said: "Xiliang is a certain distance from the Central Plains. General Song Hu must have been worried that if the emperor had returned south from Beijing, the news transmission would be delayed, delaying the important affairs of the imperial court, and in order to make a fool's chance. Only then did he write two recitals, one for Beijing and one for Nanjing, because the matter was urgent, and the possibility that the emperor was still in Beijing was relatively large, so the recital submitted to Nanjing was attached to the original recital. And the one that was presented to Beijing. It's re-copied. β
Xia Xun smiled and said, "Yes, that's exactly the truth." So in Yishiqi's opinion, how should the prince deal with General Song Hu's recital? β
Yang Shiqi touched his beard, glanced at Xia Xun, and said tentatively: "How about sealing the chapter and transferring it to Beijing?" β
Xia Xun blinked and said, "Then what if we make a mistake in speculation, and General Song only wrote this letter?" Military aircraft events. If you don't rush to do it, won't the emperor be angry that the prince doesn't have to do things? Furthermore, how can it appear that the prince is diligent and loyal? β
Yang Shiqi said: "This ......, then reply seriously and make some claims?" β
Xia Xun said: "The military aircraft is a major event, and he is good at making claims, in case the emperor doesn't like it." And what about rebuke? β
"This ......"
"Furthermore, if Beijing also sends a concerto, the emperor has already made a decision, and the prince's execution will be sent to Xiliang, which is just a piece of waste paper. Wouldn't it damage the prestige of the crown prince? β
"This ......"
Yang Shiqi also blinked, and said to the general: "That's according to the opinion of the national public." Is there a way to do both? β
Xia Xun looked at his appearance, and clearly had an idea, but his official child was small, and this responsibility was naturally not as good as himself, of course he had to walk when he could walk on the side, so he said his own idea, Yang Shiqi had already had the same idea as him, but this layer of window paper was not easy to pierce, as soon as he heard Xia Xun say, he was busy making a surprise and was full of praise, the two of them were in the study Xia Xun instructed, Yang Shiqi wrote, and soon concocted an edict and a concerto.
The edict was issued in duplicate, one was to be stamped with the crown prince's treasure and issued to Xilianghe, and Song Hu was reproached at the beginning: The emperor had issued a clear decree to the world to inspect Beijing, and such an urgent military aircraft was not immediately reported to Beijing, but sent to Nanjing. Then he put forward a treatment opinion: ordered Song Hu to transfer the Xiliang army on the spot and make every effort to crusade against the rebels.
Because the rebels occupied Suzhou, they ordered the two guards of Shazhou to participate in quelling the rebellion, and at the same time praised the loyalty of the Chijin Mongols, declaring that they would ask the emperor for a decree and commend them. At the same time, a letter from the Duke of Fuguo was attached, which was addressed to several great imams of Xiliang, taking advantage of Xia Xun's special status in the sect, to exhort them to restrain the believers, not to be used by Ah Ra Ma Ya, once they angered Tianwei, they would regret it and so on.
As for another edict of the same content, it was attached to the recital to the emperor and submitted to Beijing. In the recital, he explained the reasons and difficulties of making arbitrary claims, and asked the emperor for his guilt. If there is anything wrong, please correct it immediately with His Majesty the Emperor.
Yang Shiqi finished writing, coughed lightly and said: "Guogong, the prince is upright, don't we have to tell the prince about our speculation?" β
Xia Xun said: "Since it's speculation, there is no evidence, don't tell the prince!" β
Yang Shiqi blew the undried recital, and sighed lightly: "The prince has worked hard to get all over this recital, but if there is a traitor slandering, I am afraid that the prince will still be reprimanded." β
Xia Xun said: "Sometimes praising a person may not be really praising him, and reprimanding a person may not necessarily mean really annoying him." If things are done well-behaved and scolded, it is a way to get closer to each other, which is better than the indifference of father and son respecting each other. Shiqi is also a person with sons and daughters, and when he can realize it, the children who are scolded and murdered are sometimes the father's favorite ones. β
Yang Shiqi said: "But in the eyes of King Han, he will only see that the prince has been reprimanded again, and King Han is afraid that he will be even more arrogant......"
Xia Xun smiled slightly and did not answer.
