Since the Taishang Emperor returned safely to the city of Beijing, the Great Khan of Warat, who had reached an agreement on the issue of tribute, began to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty at the same time in order to obtain a large number of rewards.

Moreover, in order to separate the relationship between the orthodox emperor and the Jingtai Emperor, the envoys sent by the two would go to meet the orthodox emperor again after meeting Emperor Wanjingtai, which made Emperor Jingtai very dissatisfied with this!

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Jingtai convened his important ministers to begin to discuss, preparing to cut off the tribute of Warat again, and further deprive Emperor Taishang of the authority of the orthodox emperor.

By October of the first year of Jingtai, Emperor Jingtai had completely established his own power system, and basically completely excluded the power of the orthodox emperor from the six departments.

Of course, people like Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the division, and Xu Youzhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, secretly supported the orthodox emperor, and Emperor Jingtai did not care about investigating and clearing them.

At this time, the ministers who were summoned into the palace by Emperor Jingtai were all ministers who were promoted one after another after ascending the throne, and they were all ministers who belonged to Emperor Jingtai's henchmen or capable ministers.

Jin Lian, the secretary of the household department, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the criminal department, Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, all rushed to the imperial study.

Chen Yi, Yang Shan, Wang Wen, Xiao Weishen, Li Shi and others also came one after another.

These people are basically the confidants and ministers promoted by Emperor Jingtai, and Yu Qian is a powerful faction, and he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so he was also recruited together.

At this time, Emperor Jingtai saw that everyone had arrived, and the imperial study was already overcrowded, so he said his decision to cut off the Warat tribute again, and then asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions?" ”

After Emperor Jingtai finished speaking, Jin Lian, the secretary of the household department, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the criminal department, Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, spoke out against it almost at the same time.

Everyone thinks that the Ming Dynasty and Warat have just ceased their troops, and at this time, they suddenly cut off Warat's tribute, which is bound to cause strong opposition from Warat.

Emperor Jingtai saw that the six Shangshu were unanimously opposed to him, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, so he said: "Every time Wara sends someone to pay tribute, he will get a lot of money from my Ming Dynasty, and these money will make Warat gradually recover." I will never allow such a thing to happen! ”

Yu Qian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although this is the case, the money obtained by Wara is limited after all, and if you want to rely on this money to restore your strength first, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!" Now I, Daming, still maintain the tribute of Warat for the time being! ”

The rest of the ministers also echoed it, all of them opposed Emperor Jingtai's decision.

Originally, Emperor Jingtai thought that all the ministers were his confidants, and they should support his decision, at least he would not oppose it.

But at this time, Emperor Jingtai realized that in the hearts of these courtiers, the safety of the Ming Dynasty was far more important than his own emperor!

When these ministers think about things, they always think first about whether it will affect the Ming Dynasty, rather than standing with Emperor Jingtai himself.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingtai was a little angry in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to Jin Lian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian, and others, but looked at Chen Yi, Yang Shan, Wang Wen, Xiao Weishen, and Li Shi, who had never spoken.

"A few Aiqing, do you have any suggestions?"

These people are the backbone of the civil official group, and after the civil official group gained power, they stood on the side of Emperor Jingtai in the struggle between Emperor Jingtai and Emperor Orthodox.

At this time, several people were about to speak out to echo Emperor Jingtai's decision, when they suddenly saw Yu Qian and the other six Shangshu all staring at them, and several people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and they didn't even say anything!

Emperor Jingtai was also depressed when he saw this, and understood that the matter of cutting off the Warat tribute could not be carried out for the time being, and even if he forcibly issued an order, the six ministries would reject it and refuse to implement it.

"Okay!"

Emperor Jingtai said coldly: "I, I'm tired!" ”

Seeing this, Yu Qian and the others also retreated one after another, leaving Emperor Jingtai alone in the imperial study.

At the same time, after the Great Khan of Warat Tokhan Tokhova and the Ming Dynasty resumed their tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the two of them focused on restoring their strength.

At this time, although the Great Khan of the entire Warat is the nominal Great Khan of the entire Warat, but for the Hu Empire like Warat, the Great Khan is just the most powerful tribal leader, without strength, the Great Khan is just a title, and no one will take it seriously!

Therefore, in the face of the strong rise of Taishi Yexian, especially after the Warat army retreated to the grassland, he also continued to expand his power and annex the tribes.

In this regard, it can be said that Totobu is worried, and the friction and conflict between him and Yexian are also intensifying.

In Warat, a lot of military and political power is in the hands of the Taishi Yexian, and the first is also self-assured of his strong position, and he has long coveted the throne, and in many places he has openly crossed the line, frequently challenging the bottom line of detachment.

In the face of Yexian's aggressiveness, he can only choose to forbear, after all, his strength is not as good as Yexian, and rashly tearing his face will only make him lose faster!

Moreover, Totokhun's wife is Yexian's own sister, and in the matter of the establishment of the prince of Warat, Yexian also continued to fan the flames, constantly encouraging the ministers and generals of Warat, and wanted to make his sister's son the prince of Warat.

I also saw it in my eyes because I didn't want to spend it, so I rejected it directly.

I was also angry when I saw this, and at the same time I got the news: I may have something to do with Daming!

He also began to suspect that Tokhtar Buhua was connected with the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to unite with the Ming army to besiege and murder him.

So, in November of the first year of Jingtai, he led his 150,000 iron cavalry to take the lead in attacking Totobuhua.

The general of Warat, Ara, also took refuge in Yexian, and led 50,000 iron horsemen to rush to the sweat tent!

Although Tokhtobuhua received the news in advance and gathered 100,000 iron cavalry to prepare to meet the enemy, the time was in a hurry, and the army did not have time to deploy, so it was entangled near the sweat tent by the 50,000 iron cavalry led by the Arazhiyuan.

The two sides immediately started a bloody battle, and Tokhtobuhua temporarily stabilized the battle situation by virtue of his superiority in troops.

However, only a few days later, the Warat Taishi also led 100,000 iron cavalry to sweep from the flank, and Tokhtar was immediately defeated, and immediately led tens of thousands of remnants of the army to flee to the east, wanting to flee to Uliangha to mobilize reinforcements and fight again.

However, before Tokhtarbuhua arrived at the Ulianghabu, he heard that the Ulianghabu had been surrendered to Yexian, and he was immediately frightened, and immediately led the remnants to flee north, and disappeared.

A few days later, he also led his troops to chase and kill all the way, although he did not catch Totobuhua, but he caught his wife and children and sent them all back to the sweat tent for detention.

Then, knowing that Totobuhua had completely become a lost dog, and there was no possibility of fighting against him, he gave up the pursuit, led his troops back to the sweat tent and stationed, and distributed the clansmen and livestock that originally belonged to Tokhtarbuhua to the subordinates who accompanied him to fight, and suddenly all the people returned to their hearts.

At the same time, he also recruited the general Aro Zhiyuan and his younger brother King Saikan back, and the three of them discussed the next aftermath together.

Both the Arazhiyuan and the King of Saikan suggested that they should not be called Khan for the time being, first lead the troops to expand their territory and stabilize their strength, and then officially call Khan!

I also recognized this very much, so I began to discuss the next expansion with the two.

The three of them discussed for a whole day, and then the next morning, the Governor of Araja and the King of Saikan each went to recruit a large army, preparing to use all the troops and horses of the Yaxian Division, and immediately start an expansion war, taking advantage of the new defeat to expand the strength of the Yasen.

He was not idle, and immediately gathered the leaders, patriarchs, and generals of the various tribes of Warat, and publicly announced more than a dozen crimes such as "collaborating with the enemy" and "proclaiming himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty", and then beheaded more than a dozen henchmen who took off and did not spend money in public, temporarily shocking everyone.
