Chapter 125: Hope of Returning Home
Jiang Fu is one of the commanders of the three divisions of the Xuanfu, he smiled faintly after receiving the report, and decided that Xining and the others were here to blackmail money, so he simply did not let people inform the court, but even the city did not let Xining enter, and directly dealt with it, preparing to send the mission of Wara away.
Gao Zhenfei tried his best to enter the city at night to ask to see Jiang Fu, and told Jiang Fu about Zhu Qizhen's situation and the task he was taught.
After all, Zhu Qizhen was once the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Fu was still very willing to do something for him, so the next day he was unusual, saying that the envoy had come from afar to work hard and wanted to pick up the wind and dust for the mission outside the city.
Xining was overjoyed, feeling that the matter of his mission might take a turn for the better, so he agreed without thinking about it.
When they arrived at the place, Xining was caught by the Ming army in ambush without even taking a sip of wine, and the accompanying Warat soldiers surrendered when they saw that the situation was not good.
Gao Yun didn't see Jiang Fu, knowing that he might have some scruples and was inconvenient to come forward, so he directly hacked Xining to death, and then happily returned to his hometown.
Xining died, and he was furious when he heard the news first, but he didn't expect that Zhu Qizhen designed to kill Xining.
In fact, he had already lost confidence in Xining, in his eyes, after he used Xining's strategy, he ran back and forth to various border gates like a fool, and then was turned away by the border guards, and he was not a stupid roe deer, why should he be tricked like this?
On October 1, the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, he also gathered people and began to advance to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty according to his own ideas.
The first to take the Bauhinia Pass was the retreat route that Wang Zhen chose for the first time during the civil engineering change.
In two days, the Wara army broke through the unprepared Bauhinia Pass, and the garrison capital Yushi Sun Xiang was killed in battle, and the city of Beijing was no longer in danger to defend.
Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen's personalities are very similar, the two grew up together since childhood, and they have a good relationship, so when the ministers led by Yu Qian and Wang Zhi asked him to take the throne of the emperor, he refused at first.
On the one hand, he didn't want to rob his brother of the throne, on the other hand, he felt that the emperor was not done by people, in addition to facing countless government and political chores all day long, he also had to worry about the invasion of foreign enemies at all times, especially not long ago, Jinyiwei commanded Ma Shun and Wang Zhen's two remaining party Mao Guiwang Changsui, and the three of them were directly beaten to death in front of Zhu Qiyu by the ministers, which left a particularly deep impression on Zhu Qiyu.
It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, except for a few emperors who were tough and ruthless, other emperors did not have much autonomy, and Zhu Qiyu was no exception.
At present, there are internal and external troubles, and the court urgently needs a leader on the bright side, so whether you agree or not, you should be the emperor.
Under the insistence of many ministers led by Yu Qian repeatedly, Zhu Qiyu was either involuntary or voluntary, and finally agreed to become the emperor and replaced his brother as the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that once you have something, you don't want to lose it, and the throne is one of them.
Although the emperor is faced with a lot of obligations, but the rights that should be obtained will not be less, after trying the taste of being an emperor for the first time, Zhu Qiyu found that he liked this feeling, but now is not the time to enjoy, the Warat army is close at hand, only by repelling those Tartars, his throne can be stable, as for his poor brother, it is better to stay where it is cool.
The reason why Yu Qian is called a national hero is that in addition to the reason why he led the crowd to repel the siege of Warat, his leader-like temperament is also an important factor.
In the process of strengthening the city defense, Yu Qian showed his ability to the fullest, from armaments, equipment, food and materials to the collection of army city defense layout, and then to the final actual combat stage, Yu Qian led by example, with his ability and attitude to win the respect of everyone.
He also came with the army violently, and he also left with the army in disgrace, and waved his hand before leaving, deciding not to take a cloud with him.
The nominal boss of Warat is a son and grandson of Genghis Khan, although he is very capable, but he still can't fight the scheming and powerful Taishi Yexian, but now there is an opportunity in front of him, and he is defeated first.
The two took advantage of the defeat and escape to the Ming court to submit their credentials to the Ming court, making it clear that they could not represent Warat first, and Wara was willing to ask for peace with Daming, hoping that Daming would pity and pity us that life was not easy, and that we would not be held accountable for our faults.
After knowing the news first, his mood was broken, but he was helpless about it, his strength was damaged, and now he could only flee far away, and then learn from the evil wolf on the grassland, quietly licking his wounds, looking for opportunities.
Xining died and was defeated first, Zhu Qizhen was pleased to find that he no longer objected to his request to return to Daming, but he waited until the summer of the second year, and there was still no one in the court to pick him up.
Zhao Yan didn't know why this place was called that, he was riding a horse and walking side by side with Gegentana at the moment.
Gegentana looked around vigilantly, but said in her mouth: "Mingguoren, you are now dressed the same as us, eat the same as us, and even speak Mongolian is no worse than us, why can't you work for my brother?" ”
Zhao Yan smiled faintly: "Although you can speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty, you have not lived in the Ming Dynasty, and you will not understand the attachment and reluctance of our Han people to their hometown." ”
"But you are now our captive, as long as my brother does not agree, then you cannot return to the Ming Kingdom." Gegentana said realistically.
Zhao Yan turned his head and glanced at Gegentana, thought for a while and said, "You don't understand, let's hurry up and hunt, let me see how your archery skills are." ”
Whoosh, as soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, Gegentana had already shot an arrow quickly, and a gray hare fell in response.
Zhao Yan touched his nose, this Wara chick is really tough.
Wang Lin and Temur rode their horses, and the sides of the horse's belly were covered with all kinds of game.
"Senior brother, I saw a few wolves over there just now." After being trapped in the camp of the Saikan King for nearly a year, he finally ran out today under the cover of Gegentana, and Wang Lin was extremely excited.
Zhao Yan looked at Wang Lin with a smile and asked, "Then why don't you shoot a few back?" I heard that wolf meat tastes good. ”
Wang Lin scratched his head and said, "There are a few wolves with big bellies, and Temur said that they are pregnant with wolf cubs, and I think it would be a bit ...... to shoot them It's a bit impersonal. ”
"Hahaha." Zhao Yan looked at the boundless green sea in front of him, and smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything.
There was a faint smell of barbecue in the direction of the distant camp, but after smelling this fragrance, Zhao Yan wanted to vomit, in addition to barbecue or barbecue all year round, if it wasn't for the occasional exchange of a little tea from Gegentana, Zhao Yan felt that he might go crazy because of eating barbecue.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back." Gergentana twitched her horse's ass twice and galloped in the direction of the camp.
Temur is a tenacious person, although he is familiar with Zhao Yan and Wang Lin, he has not forgotten the task given to him by the Saiban King, and has been staring at the two people in the dark and in the light to prevent them from escaping.
Zhao Yan and Wang Lin glanced at each other, and then drove their horses to follow Gegentana, and Temur fell behind.
After returning to the camp, they hastily ate something, Zhao Yan and Wang Lin picked up a few wild meats, called Temur and walked to the camp next to them.
Handing over a few wild animals to Ha Ming, Zhao Yan bent down and got into the tent, then took out a small bag of tea leaves in his arms and handed it to Yuan Bin, and then came to Zhu Qizhen, who was in a daze, and asked, "What is the Emperor Taishang thinking?" ”
Zhu Qizhen's eyes focused on Zhao Yan's face, and after hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "Guomei, why didn't the imperial court send someone to take me back?" Did they forget about me? ”
Thanks to the food and clothing that Zhao Yan often brings, Zhu Qizhen has lived a good life in the past few months, but he has a knot in his heart, and when he is fine, he looks at the south sky, looking forward to his younger brother quickly sending someone to take him back to the capital, because it is the place where he grew up, where he has his own relatives, and there is something that he will never forget.
There were no outsiders in the tent, Zhao Yan thought about it, and felt that his relationship with Zhu Qizhen had reached a certain level, and it was time to say something.
"The minister has something to say to the emperor."
Zhu Qizhen smiled gently and said, "Although Gome said, I have long regarded you as a friend in the past year. ”
Zhu Qizhen is a magical person, he is very affinable, has no shelf, treats people gently, and is as gentle as jade, even Boyan Timur and the Warat soldiers who were sent to monitor him first were all impressed by him, and many times he also wanted to kill Zhu Qizhen first, but Boyan Timur stepped forward and protected Zhu Qizhen behind him.
Although Zhu Qizhen said that he regarded himself as a friend, Zhao Yan was still vigilant and spoke tactfully.
"What does the Emperor think of His Majesty?"
Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Your Majesty is naturally Your Majesty, I have already thought about it, even if I am an ordinary person after returning to Beijing, I am willing." ”
Zhao Yan heard the sincerity in Zhu Qizhen's tone, but the world is like chess, and people's hearts are fickle, even if Zhu Qizhen wants to regain the throne, Zhao Yan will not be surprised, because he knows what kind of treatment Zhu Qizhen will receive when he goes back, what he wants to say most is not this, but wants to give Zhu Qizhen a preventive shot.
"Time has changed, and the common people may not be so easy to do, so the emperor should be prepared in his heart."
Zhu Qizhen smiled freely, his state of mind was no longer comparable to before: "Don't worry, even if you live in a humble room and eat coarse tea and light food, as long as your relatives are around, I am content." ”
