Besides, they have to be delayed, now Zuo Ling and they are still outside the plug and have not entered the Guannei, if the negotiations break down at this time, Zuo Ling and they are likely to be abducted in the middle of the road and will not be able to return to the mainland.

Although Sun Hu escorted Zuo Ling with 7,000 men and horses, who knew that there were tens of thousands of Tatar troops stationed there at the border of the Great Wall.

In the capital, the three letters of state have arrived, and the emperor smiled happily after seeing the three letters of state.

"Did this little guy go out on an errand for me, or did he go out to find his daughter-in-law, and he found three princesses at once." Emperor Longqing looked at the three letters and the pro-country letter, and laughed and laughed.

"The dates of these three letters are very close, will there be fraud in this?" The eunuch who held the seal of the master of ceremonies had already read the national letter first, and he also thought it was a little funny, but he felt that there must be a lot of articles in it.

"It's hard to say whether the letter of state of the king of Altan is fraudulent or not, but the letters of the two tribes of Warat and Uliangha are somewhat sincere, at least they have opened the price, and the asking price is not too high." Eunuch Bingbi smiled.

Emperor Longqing nodded: "If you want to say this, he is indeed a talent, and he is outstanding, if it weren't for Old Master Chen's quick snatching of him, I would have wanted to make him a princess." He also has a few ladies now, right? ”

"Probably five." The eunuch Bingbi counted a few things in his heart.

"It's five, but Mrs. is the daughter of Old Master Chen, and the others can only be regarded as concubines." Palm print eunuch said.

"Don't Wara and Uliangha know that besides, there are already five wives, and their princess can only be concubines if they marry?" Emperor Longqing frowned.

He also felt that the conditions of Wara and Uliangha were good, and they could make this deal, as for selling it to these two clans, Emperor Longqing had no opinion at all, anyway, this was to marry a princess, and it was not a horse, and besides, he could still return to the mainland to be an errand for him, instead of being a prince outside the Saiwai.

Last time, if it wasn't for the army of Uliangha and Warat to fight with the Tatars, the Tatars would not have been able to kill directly under the city of Beijing, and now the border pass has been rumored, all kinds of rumors, according to the analysis of intelligence obtained from all sides, the king of Altan has completed the deployment of the autumn offensive, if at this time, the Wara and Uliangha tribes withdrew, it was like getting two major reinforcements for the Ming Dynasty.

Compared to this, personal happiness is not worth mentioning,

"Long live the lord, they don't have so much to say about us, those chiefs and princes have dozens or even hundreds of wives, at most, they are divided into a positive Fujin and a side Fujin, and there is no such thing as a concubine, and the status of the side Fujin is not low." Eunuch Bingbi explained.

"Also, the status of these women outside the Saiwai after marriage is related to the power of their mother's family, not determined by marrying first and then marrying." The palm print eunuch added.

"Oh, they feel that their clan is powerful, so they are willing to do it even if they are side blessings." Emperor Longqing somewhat understood.

"But the barbarians are cunning and untrustworthy, and this matter still has to be considered in the long run." Palm print eunuch said.

He still didn't believe that Warat and Uliangha would really rush to make peace with the court, and always felt that there might be a conspiracy here.

This is mainly because they don't know about the demonic creatures wreaking havoc outside the Saiwai, and Warat and Uliangha also took the initiative to marry because of this incident, not just to get supplies from the Ming Dynasty.

If they just want the supplies of the Ming Dynasty, they can exchange it for not being an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, instead of sacrificing their princess.

Because their statement this time was too generous, too enthusiastic and eager, and a bit abnormal, Emperor Longqing suspected that there was fraud in it.

"What do Mr. Zhang and Mr. Gao think about this?" Emperor Longqing asked.

"These two gentlemen mean very differently." The palm print eunuch laughed.

"What do they say?" Emperor Longqing wanted to know the opinions of his two teachers.

"Mr. Zhang just said one sentence after reading it:." The palm print eunuch laughed as he spoke.

"? That's what Mr. Zhang said? Emperor Longqing also smiled.

He can imagine what Zhang Juzheng looked like at that time, Zhang Juzheng was arrogant, maybe he didn't like this kind of affinity, or maybe he thought that being friendly with Saiwai would insult the reputation of the Ming Dynasty.

"What about Mr. Gao?" Emperor Longqing asked again.

"Mr. Gao is very interested, mainly because he is afraid that there will be fraud, and he said that if the situation is true, it is a good thing." Palm print eunuch said.

"Mr. Gao prefers to be flexible." Emperor Longqing Road.

Things are indeed as the palm print eunuch said, Zhang Juzheng threw them back after reading the three letters of state that the palm print eunuch gave him, and just replied with two words:.

However, Gao Gong was very interested in this matter, and thought that it was a good deal, but he was afraid that Warat and Uliangha would not be trustworthy and would be deceived when the time came.

When it comes to Emperor Longqing's expression is a little gloomy, now there are more and more impeachments of Gao Gong in the court, and Emperor Longqing is a little unable to hold it down.

The main reason is that Gao Gong's temperament is too arrogant, especially with Xu Jie, the friends and subordinates of the two attack each other, and they are divided into two big friends in the court, which the court will never tolerate.

Although Xu Jie seems to have lost power, in fact, his power inside and outside the court is still not small, and I don't know how many officials owe him favors over the years, and now is the time to repay the favors.

Of course, Emperor Longqing resolutely stood on Gao Gong's side, but the ministers were in turmoil, and he also had to give the ministers an explanation.

He wants to be a generation of Ming Jun, and it is impossible for him to work against ministers like his father, even if he has Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng as his auxiliary.

He's been worrying about it these days, so besides, it made him laugh happily for many days, and it also diluted some of his melancholy.

"Besides, what do you mean personally?" Eunuch Bingbi asked.

Besides, the fold was directly handed over to the emperor, and they only knew if the emperor sent it to them, and if the emperor didn't send it to them, they wouldn't know what was written in the fold.

"He just stated the facts, put everything on us, and said that he was waiting for the Holy Judgment." Emperor Longqing said with a smile.

"This little guy can talk and learn to play tricks, but he doesn't seem to be very opposed." Eunuch Bingbi smiled.

"Where to find such beautiful things as marrying two princesses and getting two princes, of course he is happy in his heart." The palm print eunuch said quiprisingly.

Emperor Longqing shook his head, the princess of another race is not so easy to marry, there are too many things involved, Emperor Longqing knows that it is impossible not to be aware of this, but despite this, he still asked him for the holy judgment, and the meaning in this is very rich.

Emperor Longqing estimated that he really wanted to promote this peace, so he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to promote it, and this meaning made Emperor Longqing a little embarrassed, and he didn't want to push it into a very embarrassing situation.

Now that Gao Gong has been impeached like this, if he really marries two princesses of different races and accepts two princes, I am afraid that he will be scolded by the Manchu Dynasty as a national thief.

"Have you talked to Mr. Xu about Mr. Gao?" Emperor Longqing asked.

After talking about it, Mr. Xu was also very aggrieved, saying that he did not provoke this matter, and the ministers who impeached Mr. Gao were not under his control. However, if Mr. Gao can show mercy, Mr. Xu is willing to talk to those ministers and let them stop. ”

Emperor Longqing nodded, he had no choice but to become a peacemaker, and asked the eunuch of the palm seal and the eunuch of Bingbi to talk to Xu Jie and Gao Gong in person, hoping that they could work together instead of attacking each other every day.

Of course, Xu Jie didn't want to set up a big enemy in the court before he retired, but Gao Gong was too strong, that is, he couldn't tolerate Xu Jie, and there was no unsolvable hatred between the two, it was purely that Gao Gong looked at Xu Jie's displeasure, thinking that he had done too much evil in the previous dynasty and should have been retributed a long time ago, instead of being in a high position now.

Xu Jie is not greedy for power, but if he makes concessions now, it will be equivalent to Tai'a holding back, so he can only insist on holding on, confronting Gao Gong, and at least achieving a temporary balance.

The emperor is very embarrassed, and Zhang Juzheng is also very embarrassed.

Zhang Juzheng also talked to two people separately because of this matter, after all, one is his colleague, and the other is Zhang Juzheng's teacher, both of whom are closely related, but the result is not ideal.

Now every time I go to the court, there is almost nothing new, that is, people from the two factions impeach each other, and the last point of the spearhead is, of course, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong

"It's really not good, how about letting Mr. Gao go back to his hometown first to avoid the limelight?" Emperor Longqing groaned.

"However, in this way, Mr. Gao will think that Long Live Lord has abandoned him and is a loss of old favor." After hearing this, the palm print eunuch hurriedly said.

"Let Mr. Xu also be aggrieved and send a letter to the official in advance, so that the people of the two factions will not be able to say anything." The eunuch said.

"In that case, Mr. Zhang will take over?" The palm print eunuch asked.

"No, Shoufu is too jealous, Mr. Zhang should not be in this position suddenly, let's choose someone else."

"Then in terms of seniority, Li Chunfang will take over."

This is the result of the deliberations of the small court in the palace, in fact, the celebrant in the palace is equivalent to the cabinet of the outer court, but it is more authoritarian, and the deliberations will not be as messy as the outer court, everything is decided in one or two sentences.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty and the eunuchs of the Bingbi could not be regarded as the emperor's servants, although they were indeed de jure, but these two eunuchs were already the ministers of the inner palace, and they were actually more powerful than the scholars of the outer court in deciding on national affairs.

It can be said that half of the power of the state is in the hands of the two of them.

At the moment when Gao Gong and Xu Jie were fighting to the death in the court, neither of them expected that the emperor had already made a decision and left them all behind.

The emperor couldn't tolerate the two of them having their subordinates fighting all day long, making the court all day in the dark, and there was no end to it, so if this continued, the state affairs could not be dealt with at all.
