Chapter 19: Thousands of Miles to the Western Regions 7
Hearing this, Zhang Shixing said angrily: "Bayar, since you know that we are not the ones who poisoned us, why don't you let us go." ”
Bayar smiled bitterly: "The queen mother said that she can't let you go easily, she has already sent an envoy to the court to ask for canonization, by the way, check your details, and when the envoy arrives, if there is nothing to do, she will naturally let you go." ”
When everyone heard this, their faces changed.
Huang Zhan asked, "Then who is the master in your country now, isn't it you?" ”
Bayar said: "At present, the queen mother is temporarily regent, she has already played the court to canonize me as the king, and as soon as the holy decree arrives, I will release you as soon as I ascend the throne." Please wait with peace of mind. ”
Zhu Yunwen clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Prince Lao has bothered." ”
Winter goes to spring, the grass grows and the eagle flies, and half a year passes in a flash. On this day, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty finally came to the city of Hami, and there were thousands of people.
Naren led his two sons and a group of civil and military officials to kneel in front of the palace gate to welcome the Qincha.
Na Qincha, a middle-aged civil official, opened the holy decree and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Loyal to the king Anke Timur tyranny, I think that the people on the Hami side have no subordinate, and his nephew has been in the court guard for a long time, and I caress him like a son, so I ordered him to be crowned a prince, and still return to Hami to inherit his ancestral worship and care for his people." Chin this. ”
After hearing this, Naren and the others looked at each other and asked the civil official: "Qin envoy, who is this Tokhtar, why is he to be this loyal king, and why can't my two sons be?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a young prince wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist walked out of the Qincha team, helped Naren up, and said with a proud face: "Auntie has worked really hard to act as the regent for this time. The little nephew was grateful. In the future, I hope that my aunt will support the king and be loyal to the court. ”
Naren looked him up and down, and when he saw that this person was acting frivolously and flamboyantly, he was even more dissatisfied, and asked, "Are you the queen of the three brothers of the Una?" Why do you call me Auntie? ”
Totok smiled and said: "After this king is the king of Xining Anding, he belongs to the descendants of Chagatai Khan with you, and I am your nephew in terms of generation, so I call you my aunt." ”
Naren didn't look at him, but turned to the civil official and said, "Why didn't the court canonize Bayar or exempt him from power?" ”
The civil official bowed down and said, "Chen Cheng, the new Zhongshun Wang, has seen the Queen Mother. What Your Majesty thinks, we really don't know. Perhaps because he was worried that the two princes would fight each other, it would not be conducive to Hami's stability, so he chose another meritocrat. ”
At this time, all the Hami ministers stood up and said to Chen Cheng: "Envoy, please return to Your Majesty, we are willing to support Prince Bayar to succeed him, we have never seen this Prince Tokhtar, please go back." ”
At this time, a Ming Dynasty military general rushed forward, holding the hilt of his sword, and glared at everyone angrily: "I am Zhou An, the palace guard, do you want to rebel?" First of all, do you agree to the knife in my hand? ”
May Hami's commander Mahama also hold the hilt of his sword and contend with each other: "If you come by force, you must also ask our five thousand soldiers in Hami City if they agree?" ”
Zhou An snorted and said: "What's the big deal about just 5,000 soldiers, you must know that in Jiayu Pass, Xining Marquis Song Sheng is leading an army of 150,000 to stand by, if anyone dares to make a move, he will be wiped out." ”
When the ministers of Hami heard this, they were silent.
So Tokhkhtar entered into the temple, and sat down on the throne, and received the worship of all the ministers of Hami.
After everyone finished worshipping, they set up a banquet to celebrate his accession to the throne, and the Queen Mother Naren sat on the throne with him, Chen Cheng, Zhou An and others took the seat, and the rest of the Hami ministers sat in turn according to their positions.
Everyone took turns to come forward to toast Toto, and Totoku did not refuse, and they all drank it all, showing their pride.
He boasted to the ministers while drinking: "I have been raised in the Ming Palace since I was a child, and I am like a brother today, and now I am named the king of loyalty, and the regulation and treatment are like a prince." You see, my robe is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and the former King Zhongshun could only embroider a four-clawed dragon. ”
Everyone was full of words for a while, and they laughed.
Suddenly, a large mouthful of filth came out of his mouth, staining his new dragon robe, and Naren thought he had drunk too much, so he hurriedly ordered the attendant to come forward and wipe him. But Tokhtar didn't seem to be drunk, and he opened his mouth and vomited until he spat out the yellow water all over the floor, and collapsed on the seat like a collapse.
Naren hurriedly ordered the imperial doctor to be sent to the imperial doctor, and when the imperial doctor entered the palace, he closed his eyes tightly, and still vomited, but only some white foam came out of his mouth, and nothing else was visible.
Everyone came forward and asked the Imperial Doctor what the symptoms were, and the Imperial Doctor looked at Naren in fear, and Naren urged, "You have something to say." ”
The imperial doctor trembled and said, "The king is afraid that he has been poisoned, I'm afraid he won't be able to." ”
Naren blurted out: "Poisoning again? ”
Chen Cheng asked vigilantly: "Could it be that the former King Zhongshun also died of poisoning?" ”
Naren looked embarrassed, and was about to deny it, when a person outside the crowd shouted: "Yes, the former king of Zhongshun, Anke Timur, was poisoned to death. ”
When the people looked back, they saw that the person who spoke was none other than the Prince of Freedom.
Chen Cheng asked: "Prince Fuli, you said that King Anke Timur was poisoned, so who was he poisoned?" ”
Prince Fuli stared at Queen Naren and said word by word, "Uncle was poisoned by his queen. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
Bayar rushed to Wai Li, took his hand and said, "Brother, are you drunk?" What nonsense are you talking about? Why did the queen mother poison her father? ”
With a painful look on his face, he said to Bayar: "Brother, you also know that the uncle has always wanted to put me to death, and the queen mother poisoned the uncle in order to save me. 123 Literary Network
Chen Cheng said coldly: "Prince Li, your mother poisoned her husband in order to save you, but you came to expose her, don't you know the secret of kissing?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, tears welled up in Naren's eyes, dripping on the front of the gorgeous clothes, obviously free from what he said.
Wu Li raised his head and said to Chen Cheng: "Envoy, I didn't want to expose this matter, after all, it was my mother who killed my uncle, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized. But now she has poisoned the king of Tokhtar in the same way. ”
Naren had tears on the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't speak, just shook her head vigorously.
At this moment, Natokh screamed, spat out the last mouthful of white foam, stretched his legs, and then stopped moving, and was silent.
The imperial physician hurriedly said to Chen Cheng: "Envoy, the king is dead. ”
Qianhu Zhou An drew a knife in his hand and said to everyone in the hall: "Come on, surround me, no one can run." ”
With his order, the accompanying Ming guards rushed up to the hall, each armed with swords, guns and firearms, and surrounded everyone.
The commander made Ma Ma also roar angrily: "How dare the rats? Spread wilderness on our territory in Hami, come and send Da Ming Qin to me to take it down. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards of the Hami Kingdom also rushed to the temple, holding scimitars, and confronted the Ming army. Seeing a fire is inevitable.
Chen Cheng took a step forward and said, "Stop, everyone has something to discuss." ”
Zhou An said: "Chen Changshi, there is nothing to discuss, they killed the king of Totok, we must bring these people to justice, otherwise we will not be able to give an account to the emperor, even if we fight to the death." ”
Chen Cheng said: "I am Changshi, the king is not here, I should have the final say." ”
Zhou An said: "You and I are both five-grade officials, why should I listen to you." ”
Ma Hama said: "I am the commander of Zheng Sanpin, the king is not here, you all listen to me." ”
Zhou An said: "If you are right, we will listen to you, if you say something wrong, it is another matter." ”
Maha said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, for the sake of today's plan, the king should be established first." ”
Everyone nodded again and again after hearing this, this is really a move by the old man to seek the country.
Zhou An shook his head and said: "If you want to establish a monarch, you should ask for a decree first, and ask Your Majesty to decide." ”
Ma Ha Ma said: "Wait for us to play the court, Your Majesty will set the candidate for the throne, come and go, I am afraid that it will be more than half a load, if during this period, there is an invasion of foreign enemies, Hami dragons have no owner, will fall into the hands of the enemy, who can be responsible?" ”
Zhou An was speechless for a while, and Chen Cheng said: "It's better to let the Queen Mother temporarily supervise the country." ”
Ma Hama shook his head and said: "The queen mother is suspected of killing her husband, her prestige has been lost, and she can't be imprisoned." ”
Chen Cheng said: "You can't just rely on the words of the prince and his family to say that the queen mother killed her husband. ”
Maha Ma said: "No matter what, you can't let a woman be in charge anymore." ”
Zhou Andao: "In your opinion? ”
Ma Hama pulled the two of them to a secluded place in the main hall and whispered: "In my humble opinion, I should appoint Prince Fuli as the king of loyalty." He was the son of King Su, and he should be the king after King Su, but because he was still young at that time, the country relied on the king, so Ankh Timur ascended the throne, which caused so much trouble. Our Hami country can no longer withstand the toss. ”
Zhou An looked at Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng nodded, and asked, "Then what should be done with the death of King Tokhtar?" ”
Maha Ma said: "This is easy to do. After saying that, he went up to the temple again, and came to the top of the Danqi, where the imperial physician was still kneeling in front of Toto's corpse, and listened to the order. Ma Hama walked behind the Imperial Doctor, held his head with one hand, and slashed with the other with a knife, and blood splattered everywhere, and the Imperial Doctor's head rolled to the ground with a grunt.
Mahama turned to the people in the palace and shouted: "King Tokhtar died of excessive drinking, not poisoning, and if anyone dares to talk nonsense in the future, it will be like this." ”
The ministers of Hami hurriedly bowed and saluted, "We will obey the order." ”
Chen Cheng smiled bitterly at Zhou An and whispered, "It seems that it is another confused account." His Majesty sent Tokhtar to the hope that he would be able to control Hami without spending a sword, but now his hopes have been disappointed. ”
Zhou An also lowered his voice and said: "That's fine, according to the report of King Totok's drunken death, we will have a lot less responsibility." ”
At this time, Ma Hama walked down from the Danqi, walked in front of the two, and said, "Two envoys, do you think this is the arrangement?" ”
Zhou An said: "That's all there is to it." ”
Chen Cheng said: "Then I will play the imperial court by the prince of Fuli to temporarily replace the position of loyal to the king, and wait for the official canonization of the imperial court." King Tokhtar died of excessive drinking. But all of you have to sign this fold. ”
Maha said: "That's nature. ”
At that moment, the prince of Tokhtar ascended the throne next to the body of the king of Tokhtar, assumed the duties of the loyal king, accepted the worship of the ministers, and then mourned the loss of his hair.
Seven days later, he buried Tokhtar in the wilderness outside the city. The Mongolian aristocracy adopted the custom of secret burial, which was not sealed or tree-like, and after the corpse was buried in the ground, it was trampled back and forth with a team of horses to make the cemetery flush with other places. Then in this cemetery, in front of the she-camel, he killed his son, drenched in blood, and then sent a thousand horsemen to guard it. In the spring of the following year, when the vegetation was overgrown, the soldiers moved their tents and withdrew. If the relatives of the future generations want to sacrifice, they will pull the female camel to lead the way, but the place where the female camel screams is considered a cemetery. Genghis Khan and his descendants were buried in this way.
