"I heard that in ancient times, it was earlier than the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and at that time, human beings drank blood, did not know how to farm or write, and lived by fishing and hunting every day. At that time, there was no one above or below, everyone was equal, and they went out to hunt and gather wild fruits together, and then shared food together.

However, such happy days soon disappeared with the arrival of the season of food shortage. In order to keep a group alive, the humans decided to elect a leader who would distribute the food.

Strong men have to go out hunting and protect the group, so they need to get more food; The strong women had to collect wild fruits and take care of the old and the young, and the food distributed should not be too small; Young children are the future of the community and can get the third most food; The old man lost his productive capacity and could only get the last remaining food.

The distribution of food within the community was the first form of power. Although the distribution of food is the simplest power, if the distribution is not convincing, then this power is equivalent to nothing.

In the past, the Chu people sacrificed to Zheng Linggong, and Zheng Linggong summoned all the ministers to eat the turtle, but refused to share it with the prince. In the end, the subordinates rebelled and were killed themselves, which shows what will happen if power is not used properly.

In the past, Lin Dan Khan ruled the Chahar and the steppe tribes, and only knew how to ask for benefits from the tribes but did not know how to share the benefits, so not only did the Korqin Department and the five Inner Khalkha tribes leave him, but even the Ao Han and Naiman tribes of Chahar Ba Otok went to surrender to Houjin, which was the consequence of Lin Dan Khan's abuse of power.

With Lin Dan Khan's lessons from the past, I naturally can't make mistakes again. Give these tribes what Lin Dan Khan is unwilling to give, and let them understand that their pastures, livestock, and population are all given by the Ming Dynasty, and they will naturally rely on us, rather than following the Mongol Great Khan, who has only a false name.

If the large and small tribes of the Chahar tribe are willing to obey my assignment to them, will these Taiji and Nayan people in the naturalized city still escape from my palm? Zhu Youzhen said to Liu Jingting beside him.

Liu Jingting, who was one position behind the emperor, looked at Chongzhen, who was standing under the two golden dragons, and couldn't help but stop persuading the emperor to win over and appease the people who had been a little lost these days.

Chongzhen, who stood under the dragon carving and looked at the greatest miracle of the Silver Buddha Temple, quickly put the conversation with Liu Jingting behind him and carefully observed the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha made of 3,000 catties of silver. The silver carcass is also pasted with gold leaf, which not only protects the silver from oxidation, but also makes the whole Buddha statue resplendent and shining.

The reason why this Buddha statue is considered the greatest miracle by Chongzhen is that from now until 400 years later, this Buddha statue made of silver is still intact and has not been destroyed in the war of these 400 years. The devotion of the Mongols to the faith can be seen in general.

It was Zhu Youjian who hoped to root the idea that both Mongolians and Han Chinese were Chinese in a way of faith among the middle and lower classes of Mongolians. In order to counter it, Hou Jin put forward the theory of the Manchu and Mongolian families.

Just as Zhu Youzhen was admiring the silver Buddha, a small novice quietly walked into the main hall, whispered a few words beside Liu Jingting, and then left quickly. Liu Jingting interrupted Zhu Youzhen's interest again and said, "Your Majesty, the guests are already waiting in the side hall, can we go over?" ”

Zhu Youzhen hesitated, then turned around and said, "It's okay, let's go over." Under the leadership of Liu Jingting, Zhu Youzhen followed him to the side hall on the west side. When he came here this time, he naturally didn't really come to visit the Silver Buddha Temple, but to meet people.

The person who was able to labor Chongzhen to come to the Silver Buddha Temple to meet was naturally the Doluo Dafu Jin bag whose identity was not very convenient to meet with the emperor, and what the main chamber of Lin Dan Khan wanted to say to the emperor was obviously inconvenient for outsiders to know, so it was arranged to meet in the Silver Buddha Temple, which is equivalent to the royal temple.

Today's bag is dressed like a maid, dressed in a simple and close-fitting dress, but it shows a good figure with bumps and bumps.

After Zhu Youzhen and Liu Jingting entered the side hall, they found that only one person was kneeling on the futon to pray to God, Liu Jingting signaled to the emperor whether he would stay outside the hall, but Zhu Youzhen shook his head and rejected him.

Hearing that someone had entered the hall, the bag got up from the futon and turned his head, looking at the emperor and Liu Jingting walking together, as if he was not willing to meet with him alone, the bag was just a little lost for a moment, and then calmly carried a brocade box and walked towards the emperor.

Although Zhu Youzhen guessed what was inside the brocade box, when the bag opened the brocade box in front of him, it still made him distracted for a moment.

The brocade box contains the jade seal of Da Yuan, if it is according to history, this jade seal will not fall into the hands of him or Da Ming. It should be after the death of Lin Dan Khan that he was sent to Houjin by the Chahars, and this is the story of Huang Taiji's change to Yuan Chongde.

Thanks to his efforts, history seems to have changed a lot. When Zhu Youzhen saw this jade seal, he thought so in his heart.

In Nang's opinion, Chongzhen's stunned expression when she saw the jade seal at this moment really made her believe that this young Ming Emperor really had a calm psychology beyond ordinary people.

Two or three hundred years ago, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the later Emperor Chengzu sent troops to the grassland to hunt down the Northern Yuan court several times, one of the purposes of which was to seize this heirloom jade seal to announce the demise of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, as the queen of Mengyuan, she sent this jade seal to Chongzhen, which undoubtedly announced the end of Mengyuan. It means that Chongzhen can finally become the only king in the Central Plains and the grassland. Just by virtue of such feats, he can already surpass many fathers and ancestors, and be on a par with Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu.

Liu Jingting, who was standing on the side, had already turned red after seeing the jade seal, if it weren't for the emperor's silence, he would have pounced on it and taken it back. The heirloom jade seal originated from the legend of He's Bi, although in the change of dynasties, the jade seal does not know how many counterfeits have been made.

However, being able to make the bag take the initiative to hand over the jade seal of the country is a major event that greatly stimulates the morale of the people for the current Ming Dynasty. This is the story of the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty who felt regretful, when the Ming Xiaozong refused to submit the jade seal of the country to the people, that is, he was afraid of being laughed at by the Mongols on the grassland. And the jade seal donated by the bag, who dares to doubt that it is a fake.

Zhu Youzhen turned his gaze from the jade seal to the face of the bag, and he couldn't help but ask with some inquiry: "Why do you want to do this?" I seem to have promised before that anything could be said after the war. ”

Holding the brocade box with both hands, he lowered his eyes and said quietly: "Su Tai or me, we are just weak women after all."

Whether it is the Central Plains or the grassland, it has always been a man's world. I knew from the beginning that this jade seal was not something that we women could keep after all, rather than being forced to hand it over at that time, it was better to make a deal with Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty for permission. ”

Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand and lifted the jade seal from the brocade box, and looked at the eight seal characters engraved on it, although he didn't know these seal characters, he also knew that it must be "ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity".

After watching it for a while, Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth and continued to ask, "What are you going to exchange it for?" ”

Nang looked up at the emperor and said word by word: "There is no news from the Great Khan now, so it is unfortunate to think of it."

When we women followed the Great Khan, we walked around every day without stopping, and now that the Great Khan is gone, we don't want to continue wandering on the steppe. It is to want to take refuge in His Majesty, in exchange for a happy and worry-free life in the second half of his life. I don't know if it's possible? ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer immediately, he carefully put the jade seal in his hand in the brocade box, and then took the brocade box and handed it to Liu Jingting on the side, before he replied: "This is just a trivial matter, how could I not agree."

It's just that you still have a future to look forward to, so why do you have to give in to me so quickly? ”

After thinking for a moment, he said: "When the concubines accompanied the Great Khan, the Great Khan only complained that there was no one around him whenever something happened, but he never refused to listen to his subordinates. Those who were close to Ao Han and Naiman also preferred to throw themselves into the enemy because of their resentment of the Great Khan.

And not long after His Majesty formed an alliance with the Great Khan, it was already rumored throughout the city of Naturalization that His Majesty was kind and hospitable, and even if it was an unknown person on the steppe, His Majesty was willing to reward him with wine and food and talk with him.

In the days since His Majesty arrived outside the city, His Majesty has treated the tribes inside and outside the naturalized city equally, willing to listen to their grievances, give them rewards, and persuade all Taiji and Nayan not to fight among themselves.

Your Majesty's benevolence is like this, not to mention the Ututhaiji, even the Great Khan cannot be compared with His Majesty during his lifetime. The concubine thought that after this battle, there would probably be no more Mengyuan Empire.

Instead of looking forward to the future of Ezhezhi, it is better to take refuge in His Majesty and live the rest of his life in peace and stability. ”

Although he knew that most of his words were empty words, the so-called benevolence and virtue were nothing more than the silver bullet strategy he ordered the border traders to implement, plus the religious influence exerted by some lamas and living Buddhas. However, Chongzhen still felt that he was very comfortable with these words.

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said, "Since you are so frank, I will also confess to you." The lives of a few of you Fujin, I naturally want to be treated preferentially.

Naturalization City is your hometown, and I will also set up a few houses for you in the capital, and after the war, you will go to the capital for a period of time, and when it comes to enjoyment, the border city is not as good as Beijing after all.

Besides, Ezhe's age is not young, and he will start going to school after all, and when he arrives in Beijing, I will personally arrange his study. Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty will eventually become one, and it may not be a good thing to accept the reality as soon as possible..."
