"Emperor Qi, Queen Mother, Taishi Mr. Zhang and Feng Daban ask to see outside the palace!" ’

The communication of the little eunuch made everyone in Cining Palace wonder in their hearts, the Wenyuan Pavilion where the college students were on duty was in the southeast corner of the Forbidden City, and the celebrant was located in the northeast corner of the Imperial City.

Venerable King Welling was pleasantly surprised, and asked Qin Lin in a low voice: "Could it be that Zhang Taishi and Feng Sili have also heard the name of Lao G, and they have the heart of a Buddha?" ”

Dream on you! Qin Lin almost didn't laugh off his chin, Feng Bao was sinister, Zhang Juzheng was thoughtful, cleaning up your old god stick was like playing, and now I didn't expose you, first, I didn't provoke them, second, I came to see that it was behind Mrs. Li, and third, I borrowed you to envelop the high-level of Mongolia and Tibet, that's all.

Zhang Juzheng strode in, his slender eyebrows were a little tangled, and Feng Bao was also in a hurry, his face gloomy.

After the mountain call long live, Zhang Ju said the reason honestly: "The king of Shunyi replied to the death, and his eldest son Huang Taiji sent an envoy to report the funeral, and he was escorted to Beijing by the governor of Xuanda!" ”

When everyone heard that I had answered the news of my death, they were a little mixed.

Altan Khan crisscrossed the outside for decades, commanded hundreds of thousands of people to control the strings, and the soldiers reached Shanhaiguan in the east and Qinghai Lake in the west, which was really a strong rival of the Ming Dynasty: however, in his later years, he reached tribute under the promotion of Zhang Juzheng, Sanniangzi and other Ming and Mongolian people, and made a pilgrimage to the imperial court to pay tribute, bowed down to the court, and did not have swords and soldiers on the border of Xuanda for ten years, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Therefore, although it has long been known that Altan Khan is old and sick, when the news of his death really comes, people still can't help but feel a little sighing in their hearts.

"Hahaha, good, good!" Wanli suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "The old thief is dead, I am very happy to go to a stubborn enemy for my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhang Juzheng's face was a little disapproving, the death of the eloquent Altan Khan was of course one less strong enemy, but in his later years, he had realized that going against the court would only hurt both sides, so he willingly submitted to the court, and he couldn't afford it for ten years. Now Huang Taiji is about to succeed to the throne, this is an ambitious young Zhuang faction, so my death, it is not necessarily a blessing or a curse for the Ming Dynasty!

Feng Bao also knew the details of the situation of the tribute back then, shook his head slightly, and urged: "The envoy has arrived at the palace gate, please come to the Jianji Palace." ”

Qin Lin lowered his head and slowly calculated, it seems that Huang Taiji's strength in the Tumut headquarters is strong enough, Lao Tzu killed him last time, which made him a great disgrace to the Mongolian nobles, but he didn't expect that after the death of Altan Khan, the Tumut Ministry still sent an envoy to report the funeral in his name, do you really want to let that guy inherit the throne?

Yu Gong, Qin Lin is the commander of Jinyi Weidu and the palm seal of Beizhen Fusi, and he can't sit back and watch Huang Taiji, a militant, rise in Mobei: Yu is private, and the sorghum on both sides has even taken several lives, Huang Taiji can't repent, and Qin Lin will definitely not be Mr. Dongguo.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Qin Lin's expression in his eyes, the old gentleman had already prepared, and as soon as Wanli's ass was raised, he said: "General Qin is good at soothing, and King Weiling is familiar with the border situation, so he asked the two of them to help in this matter, how about it?" ”

Right in the middle! Qin Lin hurriedly agreed.

King Welling was even more flattered, and folded his hands and said: "The Taishi has a trick, and the poor monk is very honored, and the poor monk is worshiped by the eight directions, so he has to make a modest contribution to the well-being of the common people in the world." ”

Zhang Juzheng just smiled, and the Empress Dowager Li was the first to be overjoyed, stroking Wanli's back and saying: "Emperor, Mongolian and Tibetan people are devoted to Buddha, and with the help of a monk like the Dharma King, things must be done properly."

The queen mother, I burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and then sent this great monk to assist my son" Empress Dowager Li chattered, Wanli was impatient, but her attitude towards King Welling was very good from beginning to end.

The pieces of palace fan incense wind, spraying purple smoke on the copper crane, the monarch and the minister set up the pole hall, Feng Bao accompanied the car,

Zhang Juzheng was the foreman, Zeng Shengwu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Pan Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and other ministers lined up neatly to receive the mourning messengers who came from afar.

The envoy was the one Qin Lin had seen by Huang Taiji's side, called Huo'er, with a stout figure, a black face with a burnt yellow beard, and five or six small oily braids on the back of his head.

In the past, Bahechi was Huang Taiji's number one henchman, and this person could only stand aside, because Qin Lin killed Bahechi alive in Xu Xinyi's horseback collision incident, and it was his turn to be the messenger.

"The command of the King of Shunyi is to open his ears and knock on the emperor of the Celestial Empire, long live Your Majesty, long live long live!" The ears only shouted and danced, and then presented the text.

This expression is written in the tone of Huang Taiji, Han and Mongolian, the Chinese part is very simple and vulgar, which is a typical grassland style: "The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty who is favored by the eternal life and protected by the Buddhas of the Western Heavens, and the Shunyi King who is blessed and protected by the shadow of the Great Blessing has ascended to heaven, and asks the court to follow the system." I Huang Taiji is the eldest son of the old king, and I inherit the throne according to the rules here, and I ask the court to canonize as before, kowtow, and I am very afraid. ”

Mongolian expressions have always been like this, and the imperial court of the Mengyuan Dynasty was mostly full of Han Confucian scholars, and the holy decrees and official documents were so vulgar and unliterate, and it is not surprising that Huang Taiji's expressions were simple and straightforward.

The point is, the mouth of his expression bsp; The corners of Wanli's mouth curled, Feng Bao's hanging eyebrows raised a little, and Zeng Xingwu and Pan Sheng also nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng raised his Danfeng eyes, waved the sleeve of the red python robe heavily, and said loudly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all graces... Whether to seal or not to seal in my Lou Ming Dynasty, what do you say to inherit the throne according to your rules" How can this be reasonable! ”

Hey, isn't that a bone in an egg? Junchen was surprised at first, but he quickly understood the intention of the Taishi, the last time Huang Taiji suffered a setback in Beijing, I am afraid that he will secretly have a heart of disobedience, this is to take the opportunity to beat him.

Huo'er's expression only changed slightly, and he smiled forcefully: "Our grassland is remote, and they are all barbarians said by your Celestial Dynasty, and many things are indeed not quite the same as those of the Central Plains, otherwise why would the Celestial Empire make my old khan the prince of Shunyi?" ”

Zhang Juzheng sneered: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister, Huang Taiji wants to be "our Kravardi Chechen Khan", naturally you can follow the rules of your grassland, and win with your strength: but if he wants to be the king of Shunyi, he has to honestly follow the rules of my Celestial Empire, and be cautious

The heart is a northern vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and Hugh must be arrogant! Huo'er was so panicked that he knelt down and kowtowed again and again, defending his master: "Taiji is not arrogant, we have always been very loyal to the imperial court, but we just hope that the imperial court will be canonized as soon as possible, so that the grassland can be settled as soon as possible, and the border will not be restless." ”

This said to the hearts of the Ming monarchs and ministers, whether it was Emperor Wanli or Zhang Juzheng, they all thought that the situation of paying tribute should continue, otherwise the grassland would be chaotic and would definitely disturb the border passes.

Zhang Juzheng knocked on Huang Taiji and his gang, and it was almost the same, after all, the imperial court was beyond the reach of the grassland whip, and the canonization of the vassal was about "the succession of his sons, clans, wives and daughters, sons-in-law and nephews, each according to its own customs", that is, no matter who wins the internal competition of the other party, as long as it does not violate the basic procedures and is not a blatant usurpation, the imperial court will recognize it afterwards.

Huang Taiji is the eldest son of Altan Khan, and the strongest, and is the well-deserved heir of the Tumut Ministry.

Zhang Juzheng's expression eased down, and threw an approving look at Qin Lin, last time Qin Lin cut off the arrogance of Huang Taiji, this time Huang Taiji sent an envoy to the court The attitude is much better, and the schedule is almost Altan Khan just died a day or two before he sent someone to report the funeral to the court, and the respect and awe for the court can be seen.

But Qin Lin frowned, as if he was pondering something, and he didn't even notice Zhang Juzheng's gaze.

Huo'er was secretly happy when he saw this, and pleaded again: "Great Emperor, Zhang Taishi, my family Huang Taiji really doesn't dare to make trouble with the Celestial Empire, I just ask the court to issue a canonization decree, the throne will be inherited smoothly, the grassland will be peaceful, and there will be no war on the front line of the Great Wall,..."

The words are very clear, Zhang Juzheng thinks about it and thinks that this is the case, in fact, the last time Altan Khan was still alive, Huang Taiji led the pilgrimage to the customs, and it has already indicated that the Tumut Department will be inherited by him.

If it drags on any longer, it will not be a good thing for both parties, so Zhang Juzheng nodded lightly at Wanli.

Wanli also felt that it was such a reason, out of respect for King Welling, he turned his head and said with a smile: "The King once gave me a gift on the shore of Qinghai Lake, "Our Kravaldi Chechen Khan, honorific title, this time I canonized Huang Taiji, and still asked the King to issue an edict for the imperial court, which will become a good story of the imperial court's care for Mongolia and Tibet." ”

Huo'er is only faintly proud, everyone knows that the Welling Dharma King is helping his little prince!

Zeng Xingwu and Pan Sheng disagreed, and they didn't believe in the old god stick at all.

King Wei Ling smiled slightly, and put his palms together: "Your Majesty, canonizing the throne is a secular matter, and the poor monk does not dare to commit the precept of lying words: however, the honorific title must be understood by Buddhism and wisdom to be obtained, and whether the poor monk gives it or not, it depends on whether Huang Taiji is related to my Buddha." ”

What the? Did you hear that right?

Huo'er only took a step back, his face was full of panic, Zeng Shengwu and Pan Sheng's mouths opened slightly, as if they had heard something completely impossible, even Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were also extremely surprised, and they were inexplicable for a while.

The Mongolian grassland from the aristocracy to the poor herdsmen are very superstitious, Wusi Tibetan Buddhism is very popular in the grassland, and the title given by the Baijiao Dharma King of Jinding Temple is not only a religious significance, but to some extent represents the recognition of the Buddha and the heavens to the secular rulers.

The famous and powerful Tsogyada Varpindi, who is also familiar with the inside of Mongolia, actually questioned Huang Taiji's Buddha fate, what does this mean?

Needless to say!

Wanli immediately turned. Feng, smiling at Huo'er: "The envoy has a tired journey, go back to the pavilion to rest first, whether the imperial court canonizes Huang Taiji, let it be discussed later!" ”

Huo'er only smiled at the corner of his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, so he thanked him and retreated.

The monarchs and ministers didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Venerable King, and it was difficult to ask if they wanted to ask, so at this time, the eunuch of the Cining Palace came to urge him again, saying that the Empress Dowager Li had a new understanding when she read the "Stages of the Lamrim", and asked the Venerable King to interpret it.

"The poor monk retires!" King Welling proclaimed a Buddha horn, and walked away with his big sleeves fluttering, leaving a group of monarchs and ministers in the clouds.

Qin Lin smiled secretly and said goodbye.

As soon as he left the Jianji Palace, he was pulled by Zhang Juzheng from behind: "Qin Lin, what the hell are you doing?" ”
