"What do you say?"

On the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Di said casually.

After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the books on the table, according to the rules, these things were prepared for the lecture of the new crown prince.

But after the Zen ceremony, Zhu Jianshen has been abolished, and these books are also shelved here, waiting until the next prince canonized before they can be used for classes.

Zhu Di took out a copy and squinted at it.

The Tatar envoy saluted and said: "Back to the Great Emperor, I don't spend a lot of sweat saying that we were originally friendly with Warat, but it was because of the exchange of markets with the Ming Dynasty that we were attacked by the Warats. ”

"Da Ming is also at fault in this matter, as the suzerain, he should not see death without help."

Zhu Di was already annoyed to death by the content of this "Tao Te Ching", and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, you are here to ask the sin this time?" ”

"You let the Warats beat it, it's my Ming's fault."

Saying that, Zhu Di's tone gradually became stern, threw the "Tao Te Ching" at his feet, and said, "Then what do you say about the plundering of my Liaodong after the battle of Tumubao?" ”

"Now that I've been beaten, I can't beat it, and I think we're good neighbors?"

The Tatar envoy hurriedly said: "Great Emperor, where do you start with this, we have all returned the materials and population that we plundered Liaodong. ”

"Now that we are being attacked by Warat because of the mutual market, Daming should always send troops to help us, right?"

"Whether you send troops or not depends on my mood, even if you are wiped out by Wara, what does it have to do with me?" Zhu Di said coldly:

"But I don't like your attitude."

"Are you here to beg for help, you're here to ask Master Xing about your guilt, aren't you afraid that I will learn from what you did after the Battle of Tumubao?"

Zhu Di stood up, paced back and forth around the imperial eucalyptus, and threatened intentionally or unintentionally:

"I can, while you are fighting with Wara, I will also send the Ming army from Liaodong to fight, and then unite with the three guards of Wuliang Ha to rob you."

"When the time comes, you will be destroyed, and I will pass with a holy decree, pay tribute to Wara, and use your pig brain to think about it, what will you do when the time comes?"

When the Tatar envoy heard these words, his eyes gradually became flustered, and he did not know what to say.

If Zhu Di really did this, then the Tatars should basically be destroyed, and the power of the Tatars alone would not be able to resist the Warat, if the Ming Dynasty combined with the Wuliang Ha Sanwei to take advantage of the fire to rob, the death would be faster.

But in fact, Zhu Di is like a mirror in his heart, how could Da Ming join forces with Wara to deal with the Tatars?

Compared with the Tatars, Warat is Zhu Di's henchman, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of souls watching after the First World War in Tumubao, and it is impossible for Wuliang Ha Sanwei to join the Ming Dynasty sincerely.

"In this way, I put forward a condition for you, if you can accept it, you still have a chance to live, if not, then who is my bounty for?"

The Tatar envoy heard a glimmer of life in his despair, and hurriedly said: "The Great Emperor, please say, as long as it can be done, we will definitely do it!" ”

Zhu Di sat back and said:

"The existing tribute bounty is halved, but the horses have to pay two percent more, forget it, three percent more, it's good to say three."

"Also, I must sincerely return to the Ming Dynasty and personally apologize to the families of the Ming soldiers who died in the battle at Tumubao, and apologize to the families of the Liaodong soldiers and civilians who were plundered."

"If that's not enough, then you can go back!"

As the Tatar envoys listened to these words, they were secretly frightened.

looked at Zhu Di sitting on top of the board and looked at him, as if he was still in a very bad mood, and he no longer doubted the authenticity of his words.

One is to be destroyed by the tripartite alliance, and the other is to get Ming reinforcements to repel Warat, and continue to retain the trade bonuses and bounties of the mutual market.

It seemed to be a double choice question, but in fact he didn't have to choose.

The Tatar envoy hesitated: "The emperor is above, this matter is not for the ministers to decide, the ministers have to rush back to ask if it takes a lot of sweat." ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Go, go and discuss it with him." ”

"I'm telling you, the longer it drags on, the higher the conditions I mention, which is already good, at least I'm willing to give you half of the bounty."

"If I don't give anything, don't you have to agree?"

The Tatar envoy who was bluffed and stunned was taken down by the officials of Honglu Temple, and the little eunuch of Wenhua Palace, who was waiting on the side, dared to step forward and picked up the book that the emperor had just thrown to the ground.

Looking at the "Tao Te Ching" that was presented in front of him, Zhu Di frowned and said: "The imperial eucalyptus of the Wenhua Hall is missing a piece, take it to the corner of the table!" ”

After speaking, he directly raised his feet and left.

The little eunuch of Wenhua Hall thought it was an opportunity to flatter, but he didn't expect to hear this sentence, holding this "Tao Te Ching" with a confused face.

Take the Tao Te Ching on the corner of the table?

This matter reached the cabinet, and what the cabinet valued most was not the news of Tatar's request for help, but Zhu Di's seemingly casual remark.

In the eyes of the cabinet ministers, this is already a very obvious signal.

Judging from the temperament of this emperor, he would not do such a boring thing, which can only show that the emperor is taking the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction to the civil officials.

A small incident soon set off an invisible storm in the court.

......

Zhu Di did not return to the Qianqing Palace, but went directly to the Zongren Mansion.

Zhu Di wanted to know, this was originally set up to be used as a yamen to restrict the clan, but now it is useless, what is going on.

If these descendants of the Zhu family continue to fight, Daming will not be able to get anything good.

Zongren Mansion was established in Hongwu three years, formerly known as the main courtyard of the Great Sect, Hongwu 22 years changed its name to Zongren Mansion, Yongle Dynasty Zhu Di set a precedent for foreign relatives to take charge of Zongren Mansion, and then Ren and Xuan Dynasty were also mostly in charge of the affairs by Xun Qi.

The previous person in charge of the Zongren Mansion was the elderly and prestigious British Duke Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu was backed by the Xunqi Group, and the Zhang family won the trust of Zhu Di, which was enough to deter the clan.

So even if there was an open and secret fight between the clansmen, it was all a little fight before.

The change of Tumubao, most of the meritorious groups in the Hongwu and Yongle periods collapsed, and the Zongren Mansion was in a situation where no one was in charge, and among the existing honorable relatives, no one had the prestige to deter the Zongfu.

The power of the Zongren Mansion has gradually been transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and it has existed in name only.

Zhu Di came to the yamen of the Zongren Mansion, but he didn't even meet a gatekeeper, he walked in and walked around a few times, and the huge yamen only found a few people on duty.

Most of these people don't have much power, they belong to the kind that can't be found when they are thrown into the pile, just with this kind of sect mansion, what can they talk about deterring the clan?

Zhu Di immediately understood the root of the matter, so he said to the side: "Spread the edict that King Guangtong and King Yangzong were involved in the murder of the Middle Palace, blocked the palace, suspended the payment of money, and verified all the fields of Wang Zhuang. ”

"Zhu Zhan, the king of Xiang, is in charge of the Zongren Mansion and presides over the incense pillow."
