Zhu Youxiao's will, a cadre of important ministers did not dare to say more, and could only obey His Majesty's arrangement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it was only a war against Horqin, it did not mean that the governors and commanders of the other border towns could relax, and they had to rush back to their places immediately to strengthen their defenses, after all, no one could guarantee that the war with the Horqin tribe would cause other Mongol tribes not to launch attacks on other border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Zaijin, Mao Wenlong, Man Gui and other important officials in Liaodong naturally had to rush back immediately to preside over important military and political affairs, and no one had the intention of staying in the capital, Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Zaijin, the two Liaodong bigwigs, were in a bad mood, and Mao Wenlong and Man Gui and other local military nobles naturally did not have any good mood because of the Horqin tribe's looting of Liaoyang, after all, a lot of the looted property was also their private property.

At the same time, Jinyiwei also sent people from all walks of life to rush to Shanhaiguan, all the way to Jinzhou, to Wu Xiangbu to announce the will of the Ming Emperor.

Don't forget, although Wu Xiangbu at this time was in fact an independent military regime, no different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his political status was recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and his title of King of Liao was also given to him by Zhu Youxiao due to internal and external troubles at that time, so nominally speaking, he was still a vassal of the Ming Dynasty!

On this day, Wu Xiang, the king of Liao, and Wu Sangui, the son of the king of Liao, were meeting with the envoy of Horqin, Halu Huathorn, in the hall, because Wu Xiang's troops Horqin Department entered Liaoyang and remained silent, so the Horqin Department came to express that after all, Wu Xiang's Guanning army was also a strong neighbor in Liaodong, and for a strong neighbor, since it could not be eliminated, it could only be an alliance.

"Thirty carts of grain and one hundred good horses are gifts from the Zai Sangci Khan of the Horqin Department to His Royal Highness the King of Liao, please accept it with a smile!"

After stroking his hand on his chest and bowing to Wu Xiang, he sat back down, and Wu Xiang was very satisfied with this, and after signaling the servant to add wine to him, he was quite interested in ordering the singer to dance to cheer up.

After sending off the Horqin envoy, Wu Xiang was still unsatisfied, and his mood was quite comfortable, and he couldn't help patting Wu Sangui's shoulder: "Son, I was fortunate to have listened to you, otherwise we would not have today's style, the court would not be able to control us, and Jiannu no longer dared to despise us, even with the current Horqin Department of Mongolia began to make friends with us, for my father, I used to be a general soldier in front of the civil officials and nodded in front of the human officials The days are really incomparable, I heard that the Hailan Zhu of the Horqin Department is extremely beautiful, and it is the pearl of the grassland, Now that you are not married, if you don't send someone for your father to ask for your marriage, then you can learn from Huang Taiji and Horqin to become in-laws. ”

"There is a father and the king bothered", Wu Sangui is not polite, now the Horqin Department can be friendly with Wu Xiangbu, it was he who personally went to the Horqin Department secretly this summer to promote it, and there is also a side to the name Hai Lanzhu, it is indeed a delicate beauty, and it is not bad to marry now, not to mention that it is indeed a good move in politics, after all, if the Horqin Department is good, it is equivalent to making friends with most tribes in Mongolia, and it will be able to better gain a foothold in the territory outside the customs in the future.

Wu Xiang couldn't help laughing, his hand unconsciously touched the back buttocks of a maid next to him, and at the same time asked Wu Sangui with a smile: "You say, what is Zhu Youxiao's mood after the Ming Court now knows that the Horqin Department plundered his Liaodong grain and grass and killed him Liaodong soldiers and civilians?" ”

"Naturally, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and played it up in what newspaper, scolding the Mongolian tribes as jackals, and taking this as a national shame or something, but from the perspective of his sons, he Zhu Youxiao will most likely die down, with his current strength in the Ming Dynasty, he is still weak to destroy Jiannu, how dare to march thousands of miles into the Horqin Department, my father may wish to think about it, the Chahar Department and the Khalkha Department around the Horqin Department are all Mongolia's stronger strength, and in Liaodong, the Horqin Department is friendly with Jiannu, and he Zhu Youxiao can't fight for this loss, and the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late!"

Wu Sangui was laughing, but Wu Xiang laughed: "But my father really wants to see how angry he looks but is pulled by a bunch of ministers and can't vent!" ”

But just when Wu Xiang's fingers moved on the maid's buttocks, and his interest reached the extreme, and he was about to let his son retreat first, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then saw his chief housekeeper Wu Da running in: "Master, just now Lai Shen came to report, and a brocade guard came to the city gate, saying that there was a will to announce. ”

"Decree proclamation?"

Wu Xiang glanced at Wu Sangui in astonishment, he now forgot how long he hadn't received the will, Wu Xiang, who was a little confused, couldn't help but stand up, burped, and spit out half of the wine in his stomach: "You tell me carefully, what Jinyiwei, what will." ”

Wu Da told Wu Xiang everything he knew, but Wu Xiang was obedient but didn't know what to say for a while, the whole person seemed to have been slapped by someone, and then looked at Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui didn't expect that this imperial court would suddenly send a ghost to announce their will, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Father, although we don't have to listen to the edict of the imperial court anymore, we can't provoke the imperial court, especially now that Lu Xiangsheng is in charge of Liaodong, the influence of the imperial court in this area has not only not decreased, but has increased a lot, or let them in, let's see what the will is." ”

Hearing his son say this, Wu Xiang had to admit that his arms were indeed not able to dry his thighs compared to the imperial court, and his mood suddenly became extremely bad for a while, and when he saw that the chief housekeeper Wu Da was still stunned, he couldn't help but shout and scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze, go!" Go let them in! ”

Wu Da sighed, and had to endure his anger, but as soon as he turned around, he was called back by Wu Sangui: "Wait, pass the order, open the middle door, set up the incense case, and welcome the holy decree", as he spoke, Wu Sangui said to Wu Xiang: "In order not to give Zhu Youxiao a truth, father, we are still in formal clothes, and we will meet the holy decree in accordance with the regulations." ”

"Do it!"

Wu Xiang waved his hand and couldn't help but sigh, and he had to admit in his heart that he still had to bow his head in front of Zhu Youxiao, even though he was now a vassal king with independent military and political power.

Lu Dingguo, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, walked in with a holy decree, and behind him were more than a dozen Jinyi Wei lieutenants who were also wearing flying fish suits and showing off their might, and they all raised their heads, Lu Dingguo stepped on a big foot, and as soon as he came to the incense case, he said coldly: "There is a will, the king of Liao and the prince kneel to receive it!" ”

For example, when he was the chief soldier in the past, he came to a seven-grade imperial history, and he also said that he knelt and knelt, but now that he has been pampered for a long time, he suddenly asked him to kneel down for a brocade guard, which made him very uncomfortable, but in the end, when he saw that his son also knelt down, he had to kneel: "The minister accepts the order!" ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have inherited the teachings of my ancestors, and I have been friendly and harmonious with my neighbors, but the Mongolian Horqin tribe has deceived me and killed my people, plundered my money, and offended the power of heaven, how can I endure it! Wu Xiangshi, the king of Liao, guarded Liaodong, but sat back and watched the Tartars as a disaster, and was guilty of dereliction of duty, so he cut his prince and reduced him to the king of Anping County, and allowed him to make meritorious contributions to the crime, and immediately waved 30,000 troops as the vanguard of the left flank, attacking the Horqin Department, killing the enemy immediately, and not having to keep prisoners! ”
