In the Golden Horde.

Suddenly, many people panicked.

So the witch doctor who accompanied the army was invited.

They began to sing and dance, and they were introduced with herbs.

The ghost power is naked and weak, and he looks listless.

In fact, at this time, he did not reach the time of exhaustion.

Human death is a long process.

As a human being, he just felt a little tired and sleepy.

But as a khan, it's a different story.

The entire Tatar Ministry, albeit a military bloc.

But in a way, it's a stitching monster.

It is made up of dozens or hundreds of tribes of various sizes.

Not to mention, there are also three Uliangha here.

Because of this, as a khan, Ghost Power Chi should not show weakness at this time.

Can...... It all seemed to be out of Ghost Lichi's grasp, and he eased up a little.

I heard the voices of people singing and dancing outside, praying for him.

The masters and stars surrounded him like the moon.

He glanced at Arutai and then at Harvul.

After that, he swept away the other Taishi and Taifu.

He eagerly looked at the right prime minister Ma Ha we and the left prime minister of Taifu Ye Sun Tai, and said, "Send my son quickly." ”

His son, as a soldier and horse, feinted to attack Xifengkou, essentially to attract the attention of the Ming army.

It's just that it's thousands of miles away from here.

But at this time, only his strongest son was by his side, which made him feel at ease.

As for the right prime minister Ma Erhawe and Taifu Zuo Prime Minister Yesun Tai, their relationship with Arutai has always been not harmonious, Arutai is the strongest, only with the help of the right prime minister Ma Erhawe and Taifu Zuo Prime Minister Yesun Tai, welcome back his son, can this tilted balance return to its original position.

The two immediately nodded.

Arutai said: "Your Majesty is overworked, you should have a good rest." ”

"Nothing." Ghost Li Chiqiang said energetically: "It's just a little tired." ”

When he said this, many masters and masters felt the same way.

Even Arutai felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion.

But everyone is pretending to be healthy, but under the light of the night pearl, many people's faces are slightly pale and haggard.

But at this time, no one will stand up and tell their physical condition.

The reason is very simple, weakness may be one's weakness, in the uncertain situation of this situation, expose one's weakness, once the ghost power is bad, a chase drama about the new emperor may unfold at any time.

Often, an emperor needs to hold a general meeting on the grassland to confirm it.

In this assembly, almost all the tribal leaders, according to their own strength, bargained to determine from the new master how much fat they could get from it.

Ghost Lichi seems to have seen through the minds of many people.

The doctor who saw him probably only explained the situation, and Da Khan was indeed only a little tired, and there were no other symptoms.

Neither could the crowd stay long, and the last one dispersed.

It's just that in this camp that stretches for dozens of miles, under the stars in the sky and bonfires everywhere, almost everyone has no sleep.

In the middle of the night, the sky was full of stars.

Arutai quietly found the leader of the Uliangha tribe, Har Wu.

The two of them did not light the lamp, and discussed secretly in the black-lit tent, and they both tacitly agreed to keep their voices as low as possible.

"Your Majesty may not be able to do it, I see that he is very weak."

"Yes, in my opinion, Arutai Anda, he is very wary of you, not only urgently summoning his son to the Golden Horde, but perhaps before he dies, there will be other arrangements?"

Arutai sneered: "If I hadn't supported him to become a khan at the beginning, why would he be where he is today? ”

For usurpers, the Tatars had a lot of experience.

Since Genghis Khan, all kinds of palace struggles can be said to be endless, if the Ming Dynasty's martyrdom is only the level of primary school students, the nobility of this Tartar has long been the level of postdoctoral per capita.

Arutai's eyes shone with a sharp light at this time, and he said, "It must be ...... before that kid rushes back."

He didn't say anything else.

Har Wu showed a little worry and said, "It's just ...... What if he faked his illness? ”

"Impossible, impossible!" Arutai said: "Ghost Power has coveted Liaodong for a long time, this is his last chance, he will not pretend to be sick to cause civil strife, and miss this opportunity!" If you help me, even if he doesn't pretend to be sick, I will be able to rule Dayuan. At that time, you and I will govern together. ”

Harwu couldn't help but feel warm, he and Arutai were not only brothers with different surnames, but also in-laws of their children.

The only fly in the ointment is that this Arutai is the leader of the Asut tribe, not the bloodline of the Golden Family.

The Asut Division, also known as the Asu Division, is a Mongolianized Iranian, originated from the Caucasian Azovs, the first nomadic herding north of the Caspian Sea, with the Mongol army was brought back to East Asia with the Western Expedition, becoming a guard of the Mongol Legion, and became a guard army during the Yuan Wuzong period.

It was precisely because of the trust of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty that the strength of the Asut Department swelled extremely quickly.

The fly in the ointment is that it has lost its righteous name.

At this time, Har Wu said: "If I succeed, who will be the khan?" ”

Arutai understood what Harvul meant, and he muttered, "My wife, after Ali Buge, my wife and brother will also go first...... There is the blood of the Golden Family, what do you think? ”

Ha'er Wu said: "When will you do it?" ”

"Tomorrow, Ghost Power Chi will definitely continue to march into Quang Ninh......"

"He is so sick, is he still willing to continue to enter the army?"

"Huh...... Har Wu Anda, you don't know Ghost Lichi, the more sick he is, the more he has to show that he is in good health, so he will be more forced to enter the army. When the time comes...... Our men will stay in the rear and let them attack first, and when we are halfway through the slaughter, we will attack the Golden Horde. ”

Ha'er Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Will attacking and killing at this time cause dissatisfaction among other departments?" ”

Arutai said: "It's because ...... In the name of the Eastern Crusade, Ghost Li Chi delayed time, this time is the most important time, once his son comes back with his troops, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer at that time. ”

After a pause, Arutai said again: "As long as the ghost power is dead, my Asut Department and your Wuliang Ha Department are enough to control the situation, who dares to disobey?" ”

Ha'er Wu didn't hesitate at this time, and spit out a word: "Okay." ”

…………

In the Golden Horde.

Oni Li collapsed on the sickbed.

Under the light of the night pearl, he became more and more tired.

Right now.

The right prime minister Ma Erhawe and the left prime minister of Taifu also Sun Tai were quietly recruited by the guards in the middle of the night.

The two of them sat on the edge of the couch.

Ghost Lichi looked at the two of them and said haggardly: "I'm tired, I don't know when my son will be able to arrive?" ”

The right prime minister, Ma Erha, comforted: "Your Majesty, you are a blessed person, and you will be cured soon." ”

Ghost Li Chi shook his head and said, "I know I can be cured, but ...... But I understand...... Time is running out. Arutai has always had different intentions, and he and the chief of the Uliangha tribe have children and in-laws, and they are eyeing each other......"

The right prime minister Ma Erhawe and the left prime minister also looked at each other and looked at each other.

Ghost Lichi continued, "I expect them to rebel...... Ahem......"

"And what about you, what are you going to do? For the past two years, I have been sheltering you, and Arutai has long been dissatisfied with you, and when they kill me, the first ones to kill will be the two of you, haven't you planned for this? ”

The right prime minister Ma Erhawe and the left prime minister of Taifu Yesun Tai had long seen the contradiction between Ghost Lichi and Arutai, so they firmly stood by Ghost Lichi's side to seek benefits, so that the contradiction between them and Arutai was great.

At this time, both of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, what should we do." ”

"Tomorrow I falsely claim to have marched into Quang Ninh and sent my men as the vanguard, while I am in the Golden Horde, ambushing my guards. As for you, you and your men are on the flanks of the Arutai tribe, and as soon as there is a change, and you hear the shouts for killing, you will immediately take the lead in attacking the Uliangha and the Asuth tribe. When the time comes, I will have personal guards to protect me, and the soldiers and horses in front of me will kill one more horse and gun, and your tribe will be outflanked on both flanks, and tomorrow will ...... And he took the heads of the two thieves. ”

When they heard this, their eyes flashed with light, and they looked eager to try.

After a pause, the right prime minister Ma Er Ha still said with a little concern: "Khan, I'm only afraid of ......"

"Don't be afraid. Don't worry, after killing Arutai, I will crown you as the king of Taishi, and all the people of Asut will be distributed to you. ”

The worries on the faces of the two seemed to disappear all at once, and they both said with great joy: "Okay." ”

Ghost Lichi was a little relieved, and the two of them retired from the Golden Tent.

…………

When the golden tent came out, the right prime minister Ma Ha we and the Taifu left prime minister Ye Sun Tai did not go back to rest immediately.

Ma'erhawe sighed.

Yesun Tai said: "Anda, why are you sighing? ”

Ma Ha said: "You and I are both descendants of Möngke, but now we want to serve others as the Lord, which is really unwilling. ”

Yesun Tai's eyes turned, and the coup blood in his body seemed to be beginning to awaken: "Anda means ......"

Ma Ha said: "After tomorrow is done, it is better to ...... Just don't do anything, wait until you defeat Arutai and Ulianghabu, and then turn around and kill Ghost Lichi, and then ......"

Sun Tai was a little hesitant.

Ma Ha looked at him and said, "I'll just surrender to Ghost Lichi, and I will be the son of Ghost Lichi as a slave in the future, how can I be willing?" At the beginning, our ancestors were defeated by the ancestors of Ghost Lichi, so there was no way to become the lord of the world. And now, why do we, who are children and grandchildren, have to endure such humiliation? ”

After a pause, Ma'erhawe continued: "After the matter is completed, I will annex the Ghost Power Chibu, and this Arutai and the tribe of Uliangha will be given to you." ”

Yesun Tai said: "Okay, everything is subject to Anda's arrangement." ”

……………

At dawn the next day, the sun was rising.

Oni Li Chi gave the order to attack.

The camp was more than ten miles long, as if awakened in an instant, the smoke rose from the cooking smoke, the horses were pulled out of the horse pen, and many people began to check their bows and swords.

When everyone had eaten, a detachment of men and horses took the lead to the east.

Until noon.

Oni Richi sat reluctantly on his horse, and someone grabbed him the reins of the horse, but several times, he was so tired that he almost fell off his horse.

In his arms, it is still the heavy pearl of the night.

He is convinced that this ancestral pearl of the night can bring him good luck today.

That night, the pearl was in his arms, warm, and his tired body seemed to be a little warmer.

At this moment, suddenly there was a shout of killing from behind.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" A personal guard rushed over and said: "Arutai is ...... the opposite"

Ghost Lichi made a calm look: "Order, attack." ”

All of a sudden.

The queue, which stretched for dozens of miles, suddenly began to commotion.

Countless war horses galloped over this wilderness.

The ministries began to attack each other.

Even many tribes, not knowing what had happened, received an order from Arutai at once to attack the Golden Horde.

But after a while, the Khan's decree ordered them to kill Arutai.

And a moment later, there was an order from the right prime minister Ma Ha Ha we, so that they could quickly meet with the right prime minister Ma Ha Ha we.

After meeting for miles, you can see the traces of the battlefield everywhere.

Fallen soldiers, dried blood, ownerless horses and flocks.

All of a sudden, but between each other, they began to kill each other.

Even the small tribes, who had not received any hints before, seemed to sense the opportunity.

The tribes recuperate in this desert, because the ownership of the pasture often has contradictions.

On weekdays, everyone was at odds with each other, but under the leadership of the Great Khan of the Tatar Ministry, they were still able to adjudicate through the ghost power of the emperor and the khan.

But now, revenge is today.

On Fertile Soil...... There was fighting everywhere.

So much so that the Ming army scouts in Quang Ninh heard about the movements of the Tatars and cautiously came out to investigate, and the result was ...... They were all dumbfounded.

There was no one chasing them at all, and the whole plain was a mess.

After a while, someone said that Oni Li Chi was killed.

It is also conclusive to say that all the Golden Horde guards were killed in battle.

After a while, news came that Arutai had rebelled and had been beheaded.

A little later, it was said that it was the Uliangha tribe who rebelled, and that the leader of the Uliangha had killed the Khan and plundered all the baggage and left.

What's even more ridiculous is that it was attacked by the main force of the Ming army.

Even...... Even rumors of the Warat tribe came, saying that it was a surprise attack by the Varat tribe.

In order to protect themselves, people are not sure whether they are friends or foes.

As long as you see someone killing someone who is not from your own tribe, you will immediately be vigilant and wait for it.

If you don't agree with each other, you will have to kill again.

The day is down.

Ghost Lichi was surrounded by a group of guards, and he had reached the point where he ran out of oil and dried up.

The sky was getting darker, and only a few sunsets hung high in the vast field.

The north wind is bleak.

Oni Li Chi immediately fell down.

The night pearl in his arms has also rolled down since then.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

The ghost power was weak and weak, and he was picked up by people, and he said weakly: "Why don't the right prime minister Ma Erha and the left prime minister Taifu also Sun Tai see it?" Where are they ......"

"They attacked our ......"

The ghost power spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Is Arutai dead?"

"I don't know...... However, some people saw the people of Arutai and Ulianghabu, with the remnants of the army, in the direction of Quang Ninh. ”

Ghost Li Chi was furious and said, "They are not going to attack the city, but they know that they have suffered heavy losses, and they must be going to find the Ming army to attach themselves again." ”

Since Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, all Mongolian tribes have a tradition of endless infighting, with the victor claiming to be the Great Yuan Emperor, and the loser taking the remnants of the army to attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty.

This has almost become a tradition, and the most famous is the Uliang Habu, who are attached to the Ming Dynasty and are professional.

Ghost Li Chi said anxiously, "Run, run, go and meet my son...... ...... to the west"

He mustered up his spirits and wanted to turn over and get on his horse.

But at this moment...... Someone shouted, but saw a team of people suddenly appear on the horizon.

Ghost Li's red eyes looked in the direction of the sunset, and under the glow, there were glimpses of people and horses.

Immediately afterwards, the war horse galloped, which was the signal of the attack.

"It's the right prime minister...... It is the soldiers and horses of the right prime minister Ma Erhawe...... They attacked...... Attacked us. ”

Someone roared.

At this time...... The right prime minister, Ma Erha, who was standing on a horse, looked at all this coldly, he was very tired, and seemed to feel as if he was sick.

But he still boured his spirits.

The Uliangha and Asut tribes became defeated and had to defect to the Ming Dynasty.

The Devil Red Khan suffered a heavy blow.

And the Taifu Zuo Prime Minister who was allied with him, Sun Tai, he and his subordinates, were also defeated, and their heads were cut off by Arutai.

Right now...... He was the only one left.

He breathed heavily, did not participate in the attack, but just watched his cavalry, like a flood peak, attack in the direction of the Golden Horde.

It's another bloody storm.

It wasn't until late at night that the shouts of killing gradually stopped.

Then, someone excitedly carried the head of the ghost power red and sent it to the right prime minister Ma Erha.

The head was casually discarded under the war horse of the right prime minister, Ma Erha, and then ...... This man held a night pearl and held it high with both hands: "Ghost Lichi is dead...... Dead ......"

The right prime minister, Ma Erha, was overjoyed, he turned over and dismounted with a tired face, and did not look at the head of the ghost power, but looked straight at the pearl of the night, and then ...... Excitedly walked towards it, holding the pearl of the night with both hands.

In the night, Marha's face glowed.

"From today onwards, I am the Great Yuan Emperor, the Lord of the Grassland, and the Great Khan!"

"Hooray......

On all sides, there were cheers.

It's just this cheer, sparse and lala.

But Ma Ha We, still excited that his eyes were red, and he didn't notice that at this time, two bright blood stains flowed from under his nose.

…………

Quang Ninh.

The local command received one strange message after another.

And the news that can be truly assured is that the Tatar Taishi Arutai and the leader of the Uliang Habu, Hal Wu, appeared under the city with a group of remnants.

These two ...... There was no requirement to bring troops into the city.

Rather, they humbly said that their horses could lay down their arms and be stationed outside the city, while the two of them could come into the city alone.

This condition, in later generations, has a saying, called unconditional surrender.

The Guangning garrison couldn't help but be suspicious, but he still let the two in.

But seeing that the two of them were pale, unkempt, and weak, they saw the guard and hurriedly saluted.

The garrison was full of pro-soldiers on the left and right, standing with their swords one by one, and they were heavily guarded.

"Why are you here?"

Dealing with the Ming army, Har Wu is more professional, he shed tears and cried: "Da Ming treats me with sincerity, I am not as good as a pig and a dog, colluding with the Tatars, the Tatars are wolf ambitions, I repent today, and I am attached to the Taishi Arutet, and I also ask the Ming to pardon my capital crimes and treat my people leniently." ”

The garrison was speechless, and after confirming the identity of the other party, he hurriedly summoned the local civil and military officials to discuss.

After a discussion, the final result was that nothing was discussed.

Obviously, it's not up to them to call the shots.

So the guards came out and said to them, "Your sins can only be dealt with by Your Majesty, so I should tell Your Majesty and wait for Your Majesty's will." ”

He knew that the emperor was far away in the sky, and many times, the life and death of himself and his clansmen were only a matter of thought, and now he was a lost dog, and if he wanted to live, he couldn't wait in place.

So he immediately had a plan in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to go to Nanjing immediately and ask His Majesty the Emperor for his guilt." ”

Arutai also said, "I would like to go too." ”

The garrison pondered and said, "It's not impossible, it's just that there are no attachés, and only the two of you are allowed to go." ”

With tears in her eyes, Har Wu said, "You should be like this. ”

At that moment, the garrison prepared dozens of light horsemen, and told them to monitor these two people at any time, but these two people were already in a hurry and had to set off.

When they came out of the city, Arutai and Har Wu did not shy away from those Ming army riders, and conspired with Ha Erwu in Mongolian loudly: "Why are you in a hurry to see the Ming Emperor?" ”

"You don't have much to do with Daming, and you don't understand the mystery here." Ha'er Wu said viciously: "If you let the general of the border town play a song, you and I will be a cold name in the eyes of the emperor, after arriving in Nanjing, when the emperor sees the song, it may be just a thought, so he casually has a red pen in his hand, and orders the garrison to kill you and me, and then kill the old and weak of you and my tribe." Only when people come to the near and express their remorse can they have any hope of living. ”

"In addition, this emperor also has to be faced, today's great tomorrow is the same as Ghost Lichi, they are all born to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, what they care about most is to be the emperor themselves, better than the emperor who was killed, at this time, you and I cried and begged in front of the Ming Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and also satisfied his competitive heart, so that our chances of survival are a few points greater."

Arutai kept nodding: "You still understand." ”

"I read Han Chinese books." Ha'er Wu said: "The Han people respect Tang Taizong the most, and the merit of Tang Taizong is to let this Turkic Khan dance for him, which is still praised among the Han people." ”

"But I can't dance." Arutai twitched.

Ha'er Wu said bitterly: "I'll dance, you can accompany, and you can practice along the way." ”

"I never thought that I would suffer such humiliation...... "Arutai couldn't help but cry sadly.

Ha'er Wu said faintly: "If you lose, what else can you do?" Hey......"

He sighed.

The two rode fast horses, day and night, and did not dare to stop all the way.

Although I felt tired, I still gritted my teeth to support myself.

Ha'er Wu is a professional, he knows very well that the sooner he can go to see the Ming Emperor at this time, the better, and if he is a little late, the emperor will have a heart, and it may affect his life.

……

October 17 of the fifth year of Yongle.

At this time, early winter is coming.

Nanjing City is a little chilly.

The bleak late autumn wind swept away the dead branches and leaves on the streets.

At this time, Wang Langzhong arrived in Nanjing.

When I went to the desert, I was in a hurry.

Almost non-stop.

But when I came back, I was not in a hurry.

Even the attaché of the Thousand Households Office seemed to be tired from the journey, so they stayed in Beiping for a while before slowly traveling south.

After all, the official business has been completed, and now it is in the moment of smoke after the fact, all the way through Jinan, to Zhenjiang, stop and go, and wait for the city of Nanjing, more than two months have passed.

Looking at the prosperous city of Nanjing, Wang Langzhong couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy, coming back this time is like a world away." ”

As he spoke, he said goodbye to the people of the Inner Thousand Households.

The biggest gain this time may be that it is very awkward to get along with these people in the thousands of households, but they also have some friendship with each other.

It's a good thing to have friendships, and in the future, you may not be unlucky, and you can ask these friends from thousands of households to be merciful.

Of course, he didn't dare to stay, and hurried to the Ministry of Rites.

Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, heard that Wang Langzhong had returned and saw him in person.

"How's it going?"

"Far from negotiating peace, it is deeply humiliating...... Really...... Hey......" Wang Langzhong sighed.

Zheng Ci sighed: "That Tatar Khan, what is the response? ”

"There is a message, but this message ......"

Zheng Ci brushed his beard and said: "First, the old man didn't ask you to go to this matter, right?" ”

"Budo means ......"

Zheng Ci continued: "Second...... Since this is a matter explained by the Marquis of Annan, then you don't have to tell the old man about your message, you can go to see Your Majesty and explain it in 1510. ”

Wang Langzhong looked confused, when he went, you didn't say that, you said that you would protect me.

How you turn your head, everything has nothing to do with you!

Thinking of those messages, he wanted to say them in front of His Majesty, Wang Langzhong couldn't help but shudder.

He could have foreseen that His Majesty would be furious when he heard this.

And there was no way to do it this time, the hot face was attached to someone's cold buttocks, and I was scolded, and finally ...... Maybe he's the one who takes the blame.

His heart was cold.

Zheng Ci stepped forward with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, if you anger Shengyan, don't worry, after Your Majesty calms down, the old man will speak well for you." ”

Wang Langzhong: "......"

After His Majesty's anger has subsided, he may be in a different place.

Zheng Ci said: "I will play, there is a court meeting tomorrow, just so you can go to play." Okay, go back and have a good rest, finally come back safely, take a bath, rest for the night, don't bother...... Ahem......"

He coughed.

Wang Langzhong looked at Zheng Ci worriedly: "Zheng Butang's body is ......"

"For some reason, I always feel a little unwell these days...... It may be the turn of autumn and winter, and it is occasionally infected with a wind chill. ”

Although it was a cold wind, Zheng Ci felt ...... It's a little different from what it used to be.

But he couldn't say how.

The next day, the court deliberated.

Zhu Di summoned hundreds of officials to meet him.

Zhang Anshi was also specially edicted, apparently ...... Something is happening.
