After having an in-depth conversation with Mei Zhihuan, Zhu Youzhen summoned Qiuketu Khan. After this journey to accompany the emperor, the last trace of dissatisfaction in his heart was finally eliminated.

After moving away from his own people, Khan realized how weak his power was. If he had been thinking about the Emperor's betrayal of the Covenant all day long, now he was thinking about when the Emperor would be able to release him back to the clan.

Looking at the Khan who finally became bowed down in front of him, Zhu Youzhen finally knew why some people love power so much.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Qiuketu Khan, and quickly retracted his thoughts and said: "Qiuketu Khan, please take a seat, I have been busy with political affairs these days, but I haven't bothered to communicate with you much, can you see the scenery of Lanzhou City?" ”

Qiu Ketu hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully: "How dare the minister bother Your Majesty, this Lanzhou scenery is naturally excellent, and the desert north can be described as extremely prosperous." It's just that the minister is used to the life of the grassland, and although the life here is good, the minister lives quite poorly.

And the ministers are all savages, without the control of the ministers, I don't know if they will cause some trouble, these days the ministers are worried about this matter, and they can't even sleep well, Your Majesty is busy with state affairs here, is it not for the ministers to go back to take a look first, and then come to serve the emperor in the spring of the next year. ”

Zhu Youzhen was not annoyed by the spying of Choketu Khan, and he said casually: "I know that you will be concerned about your own people, is this also human nature?" So coming here today is to give you peace of mind.

Just now, I have already instructed Arslan to go back to appease your people, and by the way, I also asked him to select half of his troops to go south to Qinghai after the beginning of spring. For the rest of the personnel, news also came from Fengzhen, half of them were placed in the old site of Yuanjing, and the other half were placed in Erin Dabu Sannaoer.

I have thought about it, you still have to go back to Mobei after all, otherwise the name of this Kyaktu Khan will not be in name only, what do you think of such an arrangement? ”

Akiktu looked up at the emperor in some surprise and asked, "Arslan went back to select his troops, but why didn't he say a word to me?" ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at him and said calmly: "Maybe I just missed it with you, but isn't it the same for me to talk to you here." Or did the Khan not want to move his people to Qinghai? ”

He paused for a moment, and hurriedly said with a forced smile: "It's the minister's loss of shape, if he knows that Arslan is going back, the minister also plans to tell him a few words, so as not to smash the errand delivered by the emperor."

The emperor was able to favor the minister's subordinates to move to Qinghai, and the ministers were already grateful, where was there any dissatisfaction. It's just that I don't know, where does the emperor plan to place his ministers' subordinates in Qinghai? ”

Being able to move half of his troops to Qinghai, although he was a little disappointed, he was also going to bow his head and accept it. After all, even he himself is in the palm of Daming's hands, and when he talks about conditions at this time, no matter how he looks at it, he is not happy for himself.

However, Chongzhen did not settle the answer with him, but continued to say to him: "Where to place these tribes in Qinghai, I would like to ask the Khan of Qiuketu, I wonder if you are interested in the title of Uszang Khan?" ”

This inquiry was a bit abrupt, and Qiuketu also came over for a long time before asking Chongzhen uncertainly: "Was the emperor just asking the minister about the affairs of Zangba Khan?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and waved his hand and said, "No, it's Uszang Khan." I have heard that there are constant internal disputes in Uszang, and that the tension between the Yellow Lama and the Zangpa Khan has caused many Tibetans and Mongols to lose their lives.

Therefore, I want Arslan to lead troops into Tibet, mediate the contradictions between the two sides, and control the people of Wusi and Tibet for the imperial court. In the future, the leader of the Mongol tribe who will control this place will be canonized as Uszang Khan, I wonder if you are interested in changing the title of Choktu Khan? ”

If it weren't for the lessons he had received by Chongzhen's side in the past two months, he would have probably swallowed the incense bait that Chongzhen had thrown. But now, he really thought about it for a long time.

"The emperor said with a smile, with the strength of his subordinates, I am afraid that regardless of the Huangjiao Lama and Zangba Khan, they will not allow the ministers to take the title of Uszang Khan. Besides, the emperor asked Arslan to enter Tibet to mediate the conflict between the two sides, but it was not for the ministers to compete for the title of this Uszang Khan, how dare the ministers spoil the emperor's affairs. ”

Zhu Youzhen stared at the low-eyebrow Qiu Ketu for a long time, and then said: "Mediation, the best way to resolve the conflict is to transfer one party away."

The current Uszang is the weak Yellow Lama and the strong Zangba Khan. After killing the Yellow Sect Lama, Zangba Khan would not hand over Uszang, but would make the Mongolian tribes who believed in the Yellow Sect in the steppe angry.

However, if you help the Yellow Lama to kill the Zangba Khan, then the Us-Tibetan region can return to my Ming rule. Therefore, as long as you and your father and son convert to the Yellow Sect together, I canonize you as Usizang Khan, instead of Zangba Khan to control the land of Usizang. ”

For such a big bait thrown by the emperor, Qiuketu's mind was also confused for a while. Yes, he followed his mother to believe in the Flower Sect since he was a child, so he hated the later Yellow Sect beliefs.

But this does not mean that he is a fanatical believer who has been carried away by faith, and to some extent, to resist the spread of the Yellow Cult in his own tribe, it is also to maintain his unique authority in the tribe.

After all, he was already the sole leader of a theocratic clan in his clan, but this religion was just a flower religion. Now the spread of the Yellow Religion among the tribes is undoubtedly stripping away a part of his body and divinity, thus robbing him of his religious authority.

Turning from a unique leader to an ordinary secular leader, and bowing to the Yellow Lama in Uszang, is naturally unacceptable to the Kuiketu.

But now the emperor's suggestion is that he can ascend to the throne of Uzang Khan with the support of the Yellow Lama is a condition that is difficult to refuse. Similar to his current title of Choktu Khan, who had abandoned his homeland, the title of Uszang Khan not only meant that he had regained a piece of territory, but also made his status even higher.

His breathing became heavy and short, but he quickly came to his senses, and with his current capacity to convert and assist the Yellow Sect Lama in attacking Zangba Khan, he was afraid that he would not only be hated by Zangba Khan, Baili Tusi, and Huajiao forces, but he might not be able to gain the full trust of the Yellow Sect Lama.

If the war in Tibet is unfavorable, won't he completely become a puppet of the Ming hand, and even if he gets Uszang Khan, he may not be in a much better situation today.

After thinking about this, Qiu Ketu's heart suddenly calmed down, and he politely replied to Chongzhen: "The emperor's love, the minister is really grateful. But the minister has believed in the Flower Sect since he was a child, and his decades of practice cannot be wasted, and he cannot switch to the Yellow Sect for the title of a foreign object..."

After he finished speaking, his heart sank and waited for the emperor's reply. But Zhu Youzhen did not speak immediately, but gently patted the armrest of the seat, this silence was like an invisible shackle, which made Zhu Ketu's heart feel very heavy.

After a long time, Zhu You's prosecutor spoke: "Since Qiuketu Khan has such concerns, I can't force it.

Then it is better to fold it, and Choktu Khan will stay in Xining with his subordinates, and let Arslan lead his troops into Tibet after converting. If it is done, let Arslan split up with you, and you will be your own Khan, and let him be Uszang Khan, what do you think? ”

After much thought, he finally did not dare to object to the emperor's proposal. Of course, he himself felt that no matter how much the emperor tried his tricks, he would not be able to stir up the relationship between himself and his eldest son.

After Qiuketu, Zhu Youzhen successively met with Ma Shilong, Meng Qiaofang and other generals, and soon after, he met Gushi Khan brought by Mei Zhihuan.

Obviously, the leader of the Heshuo Special Department is very practical, and after seeing Mei Zhihuan, who went to persuade him on behalf of Chongzhen, he quickly expressed his attitude of being close to Daming.

After explaining the affairs of Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai-Tibet, and the Western Regions to Mei Zhihuan, Zhu Youzhen embarked on the return journey back to the capital on the sixth day of the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen.

At the same time, in the city of Shenyang in Houjin, Huang Taiji finally attacked the owner of the Blue Flag, Sanbeile Mang Gurtai.

After the defeat of the expedition to Chahar and the news of the Kuritai Conference of the Jiaming Kingdom reached the steppe desert, it immediately caused a shock among the Mongolian tribes. Neither the Mongol tribes, which had adopted a stance before, nor the Mongol tribes that had fallen to the Houjin, could not remain indifferent to the resolution of the Kuritai Congress.

Leaving aside how the Transkhalkha Khan would deal with the questioning of the Kuritai Assembly, the Mongol tribes in the marginal areas under the rule of the Later Jin had some intention of breaking away from the rule of the Later Jin before making plans.

Later Jin finally tore off the mask of kindness that had always enveloped the Mongol tribes, and took tough measures against these tribes, slashing and killing the leaders who led the tribes to flee, and bringing those tribes back to distribute them to the various banners.

However, Hou Jin's declaration of showing tough measures to the Mongol tribes also reflected from the side that the confrontation between Hou Jin and the Ming Dynasty had fallen back into disadvantage. Even illiterate Mongolian herders know that when two beasts fight each other, only the one who falls to the upper hand will bluff more often to deter opponents and potential enemies.

At such a moment, Huang Taiji obviously needs the Jurchen relatives and nobles within the Houjin to unite more closely around him. Instead of taking the failure of the expedition to Chahar, he united all the banners and nobles all day long to expose his scars.

For example, after returning to Shenyang, Da Beile was very good at peace, closed his door to customers, and did not want to have more contacts with the outside world. However, Mang Gurtai did the opposite, not only praising in the Eight Banners that the failure of this expedition to Chahar was due to the destruction of the system of the four major Baylor co-ruling the government in the past. Someone wants to judge national affairs on their own, but they end up being high-minded, resulting in a wall everywhere.

Even if Huang Taiji wanted to unite internally, he could not tolerate Mang Gurtai's attempt to completely reverse the Houjin political system and interrupt the Jurchens' political reform from tribal deliberation to centralization.

So, shortly after Dolgon returned to Shenyang, at the behest of Huang Taiji, Dolgon came forward to impeach Mang Gultai for showing his sword in front of Khan, and Huang Taiji then handed over Dolgon's impeachment to Zhubeile for discussion.

Although Dolgon was not a Baylor who accompanied the expedition, his appearance showed the attitude of the two white flags, plus the exploits established by Dolgon's attack on Lin Dan Khan. In the end, the Baylors gave Manggultai a great disrespect, and took away the titles of him and Shuo Belle, demoted Dorobelle, cut five oxen, and fined him ten thousand silver and armor, ten carved pommel horses, and two plain pommel horses.

At the same time as discussing the crime against Mang Gurtai, the rumors in Shenyang about Mang Gurtai killing his mother and inviting pets finally spread all over the streets and alleys, and for a while, Mang Gurtai became the finger of thousands of people.

In such a situation, Mang Gurtai had to listen to the persuasion of his sister Mang Guji, admit his mistake to Huang Taiji and accept the punishment. As a result, the four major Baylors are gone, and only Huang Taiji and Dai Shan are left.

Under the persuasion of Song Xiance, Dai Shan quickly asked Huang Taiji Shu to remove his seat next to Khan as a sign of submission to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji gladly accepted this, and the four Baylor systems in the early days of his ascension to the throne finally came to an end, and the history of his one-man ascension to the throne began.

In March, after successively cutting off the power of the two Great Baylors, Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan, Huang Taiji ordered the establishment of six ministries to manage the affairs of the Later Jin Dynasty, further reducing the power of the Eight Banners.

Suddenly, the Houjin State seemed to have begun a positive outlook again, erasing the impact of the previous defeats. However, at the end of March, Li Yongfang's eldest son, Li Yangeng, fled to Mingming. This incident made Huang Taiji extremely angry, and also left a shadow in the hearts of the Eight Banners nobles in Shenyang City.
