"They did this because Lin Dan Khan brought nothing but death, defeat and hunger; And Liu Cheng brought us victory, food, and a better life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And if it were me, I would do everything possible to make everyone forget about Lin Dan Khan and this son, which is good for you! Sun Chuanting was thinking about whether he should vaguely remind Ezhe, when suddenly the voice of the servants suddenly came outside: "My lord, there are seven or eight noble chiefs outside who want to see you!" ”

"Your chief? Do they have a purpose? ”

"They said they were here to see Erkongolo Ezhe!"

"Erkong Goluo Ezhe?" Sun Chuanting was stunned when he heard this, and Ezhe hurriedly responded: "This is coming to me, Erkong Guoluo Ezhe is my full name!" Ezhe is just a Han name given in Beijing for convenience! ”

"Oh, if that's the case, let them in!" Sun Chuanting nodded. The servant answered, withdrew, and in a short time returned with seven or eight Mongol chieftains. The Mongolian noblemen stood at the door, and their eyes suddenly focused on Ezhe, and the leader showed a hesitant look on his face, and from time to time he turned back and exchanged words with the people beside him, as if there was something difficult to decide.

"Servant Uncle! It's me! Ezhe stood up, his body trembling a little, and said to the man in charge, "Don't you recognize me?" I'm Erkungolo Ezhe! ”

"Erkong Goluo Ezhe?" Fu Gu Heai narrowed his eyes, carefully recognized the face of the young man in front of him, and only smiled after half a sound: "It's really you, I haven't seen you for many years, I can't recognize it!" ”

Finally waiting for the visiting guests, Ezhe couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and he forced himself to press the excitement in his heart: "Uncle Gugu, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all!" ”

"Hey, I'm old!" Fugu Heai smiled: "It's been a few years, Erkong Guoluo Ezhe has grown into such a beautiful young man, I don't dare to admit it!" ”

"Beautiful!" Fugu Heai's words touched the most sensitive nerve in Ezhe's heart, and the most taboo thing he was most taboo about was that after being placed under house arrest in Beijing for a few years, his father Khan's old ministry regarded him as Han rather than Mongol, so his plan to use the power of the Ming State to win over a part of his father Khan's old ministry to fight against Liu Chengting was completely bankrupt. In a hurry, Ezhe pulled out a short knife from his waist and slashed two slashes on the left and right cheeks: "Don't worry, although Erkong Guoluo Ezhe has been in the Han place for a few years, he still hasn't forgotten that he is the descendant of the blue wolf and white deer, and he has the blood of the Erjin family on his body!" (The warriors of the steppe nomads were often scratching their faces to prove that they were not afraid of pain.) ）

Seeing Ezhe's abrupt move, Fu Gu Heai was stunned for a while, and then his eyes revealed complex emotions, both a little pride and a little pain, Sun Chuanting on the side noticed this, and a trace of ominous signs flashed in his heart.

"Erkong Goluo Ezhe, why do you bother?" Several noble chiefs next to him hurriedly stepped forward and beckoned the servants to bring the ointment and apply it to him. Ezhe pushed away the ointment and said, "Uncle and uncle, this is Lord Sun." The Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom has named me the king of Shunyi, and let me and Abunai share the various departments of Monan, I don't know if you can help me? ”

"Absurd, how can power be obtained by supplication?" As soon as Ezhe's words came out, Sun Chuanting's brows furrowed, it seems that this freshly baked king of Shunyi has no talent in politics, it is said that he is actually a prisoner in the past few years in Jingshi, it is said that smart people can learn a lot of useful things in this kind of life, at least they should not show their hole cards so quickly.

Sure enough, as Sun Chuanting expected, the guests exchanged glances, but no one answered, until Ezhe was obviously exhausted of patience, and Fugu Heai finally spoke: "Taiji, the various tribes of Mo Nan are now under the command of Lord Jinong!" ”

"What Lord Jinong, he's just a robber who robs with fire!" The resentment accumulated over the past few days finally exploded, and Ezhe stood up suddenly: "He is a Han man, married to a lowly Oirath race, and is not qualified to serve as a Jinong at all. Now that the Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom has named me the King of Shunyi, as long as there is a holy decree, the robber who forcibly seized the position of Jinong must obediently go back to the capital! The grassland will return to the hands of the Sons and Daughters family! ”

"By the right of the conqueror!" Standing behind Ezhe, the corners of Sun Chuanting's mouth turned up, revealing a sneering smile: "Liu Cheng is indeed a robber who robbed by fire, but isn't your ancestor too?" Isn't it fair to be robbed by robbers when they rob something? He cautiously took a step back, a little farther away from Ezhe. He wouldn't be surprised if the Mongols on their knees suddenly stabbed him in the belly with daggers, he didn't want to be implicated by this idiot.

"I naturally support you, after all, you are the eldest son of Lin Dan Khan!" Fugu Haai finally gave his own answer, although the voice was lifeless, as if it came from a puppet. But this was enough for Ezhe, and he nodded excitedly: "Uncle Gu, I won't forget your kindness, but what about the others?" ”

"We're all on the side of Lord Guheai!" The answer was neat. Ezhe nodded hesitantly: "Very good, Lord Sun, please go and prepare, I will reward these people later!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, please wait a moment!" Sun Chuanting's smile was lovely, and his voice was brisk, just like his steps. Sun Chuanting didn't want to stay with this idiot anymore, and those who pinned their hopes of weakening Liu Cheng's power on this idiot probably wouldn't be much smarter. As soon as he thought of this, the smile on the corner of Sun Chuanting's mouth disappeared.

When the door closed behind Sun Chuanting, several noble chiefs were visibly relieved. The servant Gu Ai gave a look without a trace, and a person cautiously exited the door. Ezhe, who didn't notice all this at all, sat down again and waved his hand to everyone: "There are no outsiders here, everyone can sit down and talk, no need to be formal!" ”

"Taiji, I have something important to tell you!" Servant Gu Ai Dao.

"Something important?" Ezhe's interest was hooked up: "Could it be about that Liu Cheng?" ”

"Not bad!" He walked up to Ezhe as if to whisper in his ear, and suddenly, he stretched out his hands and grasped Ezhe's arms tightly, like a vulture grasping his prey.

"What are you doing here? Let go! Before Ezhe could figure out what was going on, several of the other chieftains pounced on him and pushed him to the ground. At this time, Ezhe finally felt that something was wrong, and while struggling, he shouted loudly: "Let go of me, Fugu Heai, I am the descendant of the Xiao'er Jin clan, the son of Lin Dan Khan, the son of the Great Tomorrow named me the king of Shunyi, otherwise you will be unlucky!" ”

"I was still hesitant to let you live!" There was a trace of sadness on Fugu Heai's face: "But if you let you live, you will only lose the face of the Jin family, when did the descendants of Genghis Khan need to rely on the will of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to save their lives?" Don't worry, I'll let you die like a pound! ”

After that, he took off his fur hat and pressed it on Ezhe's face, and the body on the ground struggled violently, but under seven or eight pairs of powerful hands, Ezhe's struggle was completely futile. Soon the struggle turned into a dying convulsion, but he did not relax for a day, when suddenly there was a violent spasm from his body under the fur hat, and then he did not move.

He pressed it for a while before he unfurled his fur hat. Under the fur hat was a terrified face, Fu Gu Heai sighed, reached out and closed the dead man's round eyes, and stood up: "Put his body on the bed, let's go!" ”

Yunyang, the old camp of the army.

"Good news, great news!" Song Xiance's face was full of excitement, and he climbed the steps as fast as his lame leg allowed, and walked into the hall. This made Li Zicheng, who was discussing things with his generals, raise his head curiously: "Mr. Song, what is the good news?" ”

"Is it that Xiong Wencan's master has finally lowered the price?" Yuan Zongdi grinned, showing a smile full of indifference: "Mr. Song, that Xiong Wencan is simply a bedbug, he will never let go if he doesn't wash our blood!" It turned out that Li Zicheng avoided being besieged by the official army, so after killing Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao and annexing his subordinates, he offered Xiong Wencan's heads to Xiong Wencan and asked for recruitment. Like the vast majority of civil officials of the Ming Dynasty at that time, Xiong Wencan also regarded this as an opportunity to make a fortune, and the friends he sent to Li Zicheng offered a plate of 900,000 taels of silver, even if Li Zicheng had robbed countless gold, silver and jewelry over the years, he was afraid that he would be empty after taking out a bribe of 900,000 taels of silver at once. Besides, no one knows if this bribe will be just the beginning, so as the weather gets colder, the process of recruiting security has gradually stalled.

"Of course not, it's much better than this!" Song Xiance stroked his beard under his chin, he was also under tremendous pressure these days, after all, he was the first to put forward the suggestion of asking for comfort, if Zhao'an failed, his status in the peasant army would also be greatly reduced.

"I'll just say, that master and the landlord master when I was a child came out of the same mold, and it is more difficult for him to loosen his mouth than to ascend to the sky!" When Yuan Zongdi said this, he reached out and touched the iron whip on his waist: "Depending on my meaning, I still use this thing for those officials, and I will be willing to do anything immediately!" ”

"Brother Han Ju, listen to Mr. Song first!" Li Guo's temperament is relatively stable, and he knows that Yuan Zongdi has always opposed seeking appeasement from the imperial court, so he played a round for him.

"Well, Mr. Song, please tell me, what's the good news!" Li Zicheng made a gesture, and several of his own soldiers retreated to the hall.

"News from Jingshi!" Song Xiance said: "After Liu Cheng beheaded Emperor Taiji, the imperial court named him the Marquis of Wu'an, and named Lin Dan Khan's eldest son Ezhe as the king of Shunyi, and let him go out of the fortress to reward the meritorious Mongolian tribes. Speaking of this, Song Xiance paused slightly, and said triumphantly: "Half a month ago, Ezhe died of a violent illness in Naturalization City!" ”

"Hey, it's none of our business!" Yuan Zongdi shook his head in disappointment: "A Mongolian Tartar dies and dies, it's good news!" ”

"Hanju, don't interrupt Mr. Song!" Li Zicheng said sharply, and then he said to Song Xiance: "Mr. Song, please analyze it for us, what is going on with this news?" ”

"Yes, King Chuang!" Song Xiance, who was victorious, didn't care about Yuan Zongdi's offense, he smiled and nodded: "Everyone knows that Liu Cheng killed Huang Taiji not long ago and made great contributions, but the imperial court only named him a Marquis of Wu'an, but gave that Ezhe a prince, and asked him to reward the meritorious Mongolian tribes, and that Ezhe never participated in the war from beginning to end, King Chuang, why do you say the imperial court did this?" ”

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, and said in an uncertain tone: "Mo doesn't want to use this Ezhe to weaken Liu Cheng's strength!" ”

"Not bad!" Song Xiance slapped his thigh: "This King of Shunyi is not a random title. In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing (1550), Altan Khan's soldiers came to the city of Beijing and threatened to pay tribute, which was known as the Gengxu Change. In the following year, the Ming Dynasty was forced to answer the prestige of the city, and opened the horse market in Xuanfu and Datong, and the war resumed due to the closure of the market. In the fourth year of Longqing (1570), Ming Meng began peace talks with Zhao Quan, who died in his territory, and nine Han people, including Zhao Quan, who died in his territory, were exchanged for Naji. The following year, the Ming Dynasty named me the king of Shunyi, and the two sides agreed on the terms of the tribute market, and since then the Han and Mongolian sides have ceased to fight for decades! ”

Li Zicheng smiled: "I see! This Altan Khan is a powerful person, and he wants to come to the court to give Ezhe this title in the hope that he will be good friends with the Ming Dynasty! ”

"King Chuang, things are not so simple, it is this Altan Khan, he was originally the leader of the Tumut tribe, but after his strength was strong, he forced the Mongol Khan away and occupied the territory of the Great Khan!"

"So there's still this exquisiteness!" Li Zicheng was stunned, if he said so, the imperial court's intention to use this Ezhe to contain Liu Cheng's strength was simply obvious, and this juncture Ezhe suddenly "died of a violent illness", so I am afraid that this "violent disease" has another inside story.

"King Chuang, I have already checked that this Ezhe is a young man under twenty, why didn't he die early or late, but when he arrived at Liu Cheng's territory, he suddenly 'fell ill' and died? Isn't that weird? ”

"It must be Liu Cheng's hand!" Yuan Zongdi slapped his palm: "This guy is so domineering, even the king of the imperial court dares to kill him!" ”

Li Zicheng glanced at Li Guo, Li Guo thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Even if it is not Liu Cheng's hand, it has something to do with him!" ”

"Supplement and General Hanju are right!" Song Xiance said with a smile: "But we can all see that the imperial court must know the inside story better, so why did the imperial court not only not punish him, but also said in the Tang newspaper that 'Ezhe died of a violent illness' to endorse Liu Cheng's lies?" ”
