Chapter 107: Prairie Storm
After the crown prince Zhu Wucheng said goodbye to his second assistant Liu Wenbin, he returned to the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Wucheng changed his clothes, sat under the window and drank tea slowly, and kept thinking about what Liu Wenbin said before leaving.
At this time, Dong Shan, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, hurriedly ran to report: "Your Highness, Chief Dai is here!" ”
"Good! Come in, please. ”
After a while, Dai Quan walked in, he stepped forward and bowed and said, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"The prime minister is polite, they are all their own people."
"Don't dare!"
"The prime minister is humble!"
Zhu Wucheng laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Please sit down!" ”
Dai Quan smiled slightly: "The miscellaneous family just came to bring a message to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Oh? Does my father have something to order? ”
"Your Majesty said that the salt road cannot be messed up. In addition, His Majesty has decided to let Lin Ruhai serve as the governor of Yingtian. ”
"I don't know who took over the two Huai salt administrations?"
"For the time being, it will be managed by Zhen Yingjia, president of the Tiren Institute."
Hearing Zhen Yingjia's name, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on Zhu Wucheng's face, he and Zhen Yingjia had old friends, but because Zhen Guifei had a good relationship with the Wu family, the mother of the Queen of Shu, there was no contact between the two later, it was really impermanent!
Zhu Wucheng sighed in his heart, and at this time, Dai Quan said again: "Your Majesty asked you to write an excerpt about the Ruishi Battalion. ”
Zhu Wucheng glanced at Dai Quan.
Dai Quan: "Your Majesty intends to reorganize the forbidden army. ”
Zhu Wucheng's heart shook but he didn't show his face.
"The old slave has retired!"
Zhu Wucheng nodded silently, "Thank you, Chief." ”

Amber is sitting on the bed of the Arhat in the outer room embroidering.
Xiangyun burst in like a gust of wind, "Sister Amber, I heard that the third brother is back, what about the others?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Jue opened the curtain and walked out, "Hehe! I haven't seen her for a month, and Sister Yun is getting more and more beautiful. ”
"Don't come to this set, you tell me honestly, why haven't you gone home for so long?"
At this time, Xiangyun's big girl Cui Wei walked in and hurriedly pulled Xiangyun who was huffing.
Xiangyun pursed his lips and glanced at Jia Jue with a smile, "The day after tomorrow is Sister Lin's birthday, and you came back after you were so busy?" I think you deliberately didn't go home and avoided Sister Bao, right? ”
Jia Jue was taken aback, when did Xiangyun become so shrewd? He hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "How is it possible?" I'm so busy, don't think about it. ”
Xiangyun asked mockingly: "Then why did you order someone to send a gift?" ”
Jia Jue's face sank, "It's getting more and more unruly!" ”
At this time, Cui Wei reminded: "Third Master, your things are going to be dropped." ”
Jia Jue was stunned, looked down at the yarn bag in his hand, and found that there was a leak, and the box inside was about to fall out.
"What is this?"
Xiangyun was immediately attracted by the delicate sandalwood box.
"Nothing, a gadget."
Xiangyun couldn't help but say, snatched the box, opened the box, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Ah! What a beautiful jade bracelet! ”
Suddenly something came to mind, "Smack! He covered the box, returned it to Jia Jue, and pouted: "It must be for Sister Lin, you don't know the exchange of gifts, hum, I'm so angry!" ”
At this time, Amber turned around and took a box from the bookshelf, and said with a smile: "Miss Yun said that she was joking, the third master has already been prepared, and she will send it over together." ”
"That's pretty much it."
Xiangyun took the box with a smile, opened it and saw that it was a step shake, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and turned around and handed it to Cui Wei, "Put it away, I'll wear it tomorrow." ”
After speaking, he remembered something again, took Jia Jue's arm and walked out, while saying, "Let's go quickly, Sister Lin and they are all waiting in Rongqing Hall." ”
"That's it! All right! ”
Jia Jue patted her head lightly and said with a smile: "Twelve years old is also a big girl, why are you still so childish." How about yourself? ”
"It's not all because of you?"
"Because of me?"
Jia Jue was puzzled, "What do you mean by this, how can it have anything to do with me?" ”
"What did you do when you got home? Zhou Rui's family led people into the house, and it happened that the second sister-in-law Lian was in Rongqing Hall to pack up the gifts in the palace for Sister Lin, no, the old lady knew, so she ordered someone to lead them into Rongqing Hall, and the second sister was not easy to go, so only I came. ”
"Oh! I see. ”
Jia Jue nodded and said to Amber: "Find two mothers-in-law to bring all the gifts, let's go to Rongqing Hall to see the world." ”
..........
In the northern steppe, a cavalry team of about 10,000 people from the southeast slowly entered the seat of the Tatar royal court, and in the middle of the cavalry team, a carriage was closely guarded, and Atatra drove the curtain and squinted at the Tatar royal court, he was the eldest son of Arut, the leader of the three tribes of Duoyan, and came to discuss the alliance with the Tatars on the orders of Arut.
Due to the absence of the mediation of civil officials, after the Shangyuan Festival, Jizhou General Soldier Weiyuan Hou Cheng Yuan led 30,000 Jizhou elite cavalry to hide in the mountains of Duoyan three retaliatory attack, three major battles annihilated most of the Duoyan three elite cavalry, now is killing and driving away the herdsmen hiding in the depths of the mountain, when the Tatars in the revenge war of the news of the defeat reached the Duoyan three, Arut decisively ordered the eldest son Atat to send an envoy to the Tatars, on behalf of him and the Tatars to form an alliance, the two sides joined forces to resist the attack of the Warats and the Ming army.
When Attat's army had just entered the royal court, Babur, the son of the Tatar leader Bayan Khan, had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, and when he saw Atat get out of the carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Friend of Duoyan, welcome to come to Hulan Huwen as a guest, you have worked hard all the way!" ”
Atat hurriedly returned the salute, "It turned out to be Babur, we haven't seen each other for many years!" ”
Babur smiled: "The last time we met was the thirty-fifth year of God's blessing, we met in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and five years have passed in this moment, but I am old." ”
"Where!"
Atat also smiled: "In the words of the Han people, the style is still the same!" ”
Babur laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's hard to say! It's hard to put into words! Let's go inside. ”
After a while, Babur led Atat into the big tent, Ataat was stunned, because this was not the king's tent, Babur quickly explained: "Father Khan is not here, I will receive you for the past two days." ”
Atat didn't expect Bayan Khan to be there, Babur hesitated for a moment, and sighed, "Early in the morning, news came from the north that the Warats raided several small tribes, and now the people are panicking, and Father Khan has no choice but to lead troops to calm the hearts of the people. ”
Atat nodded, sat down, and without waiting for Babur to speak, he took out a letter and put it on the low table, and pushed it to Babur, "This is a handwritten letter from my father Khan, please forward it to the king of Khan." ”
As soon as the words fell, Babur opened the letter and read it carefully, in which Arut not only made it clear that he supported the Tatars to take revenge on Warat, but was also willing to send troops to cooperate with them to destroy Zhu Houze.
Babur was overjoyed, ignoring Atatt's surprise, and said directly: "The matter of the alliance is entrusted to me by my father, we are all brothers, there are not so many twists and turns, exterminate Zhu Houze's department, the territory of the Warat people still has people and animals, and our two families will divide it equally!" ”
Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, and then said: "There is something I want to say hello to you in advance, because a large number of craftsmen were robbed by the Warats, and now the weapons of the tribe are very scarce, in order to be able to confront Zhu Houze, Father Khan has sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to meet their emperor, hoping to get their support, exchange horses and other items for weapons, and if you can, hope to get armor." ”
Attat stood up abruptly, "Will the Ming Emperor agree?" ”
"Sit down and talk."
Babur waved his hand and said with a smile: "I believe that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely agree, and he will be very generous, and he will not say that he will support our food." ”
"Why?"
"Because the leader of the Warat people is surnamed Zhu, and he is still a descendant of Zhu Qizhen, this poses a threat to the throne of the Ming emperor."
As he spoke, Babur looked at the sky outside the tent and muttered, "Even if we are defeated, the Ming Dynasty will send troops to help us, and they will not sit idly by and watch the Warat people unify the entire grassland." ”
It was like a thunderclap that shook Atat to the spot.
Babur: "The envoys had already set out three days ago, with their credentials and a large number of precious gifts, and my father Khan had written a letter to the Ming Emperor, hoping to dissolve the hatred between you. ”
"However, Duoyan betrayed the Ming Dynasty after all! It made the Xuanfu suffer heavy losses, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would easily agree? ”
"Definitely, compared to Zhu Houze's threat to the throne, the betrayal of Duoyan Sanbu is not a big deal!"
At this moment, a report from the guards came from outside the tent, "Taiji, Zuo Wanhu asked to see him, saying that there was an urgent matter." ”
"Come in, please."
After a while, Zuo Wanhu walked in quickly and bowed to Babur, "Taiji!" ”
"You're welcome, you're in such a hurry, but what's wrong?"
"I just got the news that a team of about 30,000 people in the northwest is coming towards the royal court."
Babur reacted in a moment, the attack of the Warats on the northern tribes was a pretense, the purpose was to transfer the main Tatar force away from the royal court, at this time he looked at Atat on the side, "The royal court only has 20,000 elite horsemen, and in a hurry, you can recruit 10,000 young people." ”
Ataat immediately understood what Babur meant, and immediately got up and said, "Don't worry, all those who come with me are elites." ”
"Hahaha...."
Babur laughed, "Zhu Houze never dreamed of it!" ”
