The next day, in the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, Gonggong Shi knelt in front of the emperor.

"He said it wasn't an option?"

"Back to the emperor, then Lu En really said so."

Zhu Houzhao thought thoughtfully, "I know, you go down." ”

"Yes, slave and maid."

There are strange people in the world. As an emperor, he can be gracious or intimidating, but in fact, there is another kind of person who is always obedient on the surface and unruly on the inside.

People want to be smaller and smaller officials, how can you be gracious?

People are respectful to you, long live when you open your mouth, how can you be subdued?

However, this passage relayed by Eunuch Shi is actually a bit interesting.

People like Lu En, although they are cynical, but they are by no means stupid, and the surname Shi doesn't have much friendship with him, so why bother to say such sensitive words in the Forbidden City.

Presumably, he still counted the eunuchs in the palace to tell the emperor everything he said.

In other words, he never gave up his suggestion in the Wenyuan Pavilion at that time.

It's really annoying that this kind of smart person always thinks that he counts everyone in.

Zhu Houzhao was lying on the bamboo recliner, rubbing his brows, but he still couldn't help but think about it.

"Your Majesty ......," You Ji on the side of him accompanied him and whispered carefully, "Do you want to call Concubine Jing?" ”

Concubine Jing is Kui'er, she is a skilled doctor, and the emperor's body has always been carefully conditioned by her. In the past, Zhu Houzhao was a little afraid of heat, but now it is better, seeing that it is June, the sun is arrogant day by day, but Zhu Houzhao does not have the feeling of sweating like rain in previous years.

However, he himself does not admit it, he feels that he is slowly getting used to the days without air conditioning.

"No need." Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and closed his eyes, "I'm just lacking, not sick." ”

You also know.

In fact, as the emperor said, the five years of Zhengde are indeed busy, and there is no worry in the south, north, and Central Plains. There are still homeless people in Huguang.

Not only that, but there is always bad news from the Western Regions, in fact, this news has been coming one after another since the early years of Zhengde, the main point is that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which originally ruled Xinjiang, was divided.

The eastern part was divided into the Turpan Khanate, and the western part was still called the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

It turned out that the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was called Mansur.

Mansour had a younger brother named Said.

Fearing that his brother would kill him, Saeed ran around with his men. Then the two sides fought fiercely.

The frontier is in such a mess, but at this time, the loyal king Baiya, who ruled Hami, was a mediocre person.

Zhu Houzhao just crossed that time, northwest of Wang Yue Town, and he strongly suggested that the Ming Dynasty could not give up Hami, nor could he give up Shaanba, this Shamba was the previous generation of loyal and obedient kings, that is, the father of Baiya.

Emperor Hongzhi had the advantage of listening to persuasion, so he reinstated Shaanba as the king of loyalty.

In short, Hami has always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty, at least nominally.

But Shaanba died in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and the current Zhongshun King Baiya had little ability, and later he attached himself to the Turpan Khanate's Mansuer Sutan, and stayed in the Turpan Khanate, and did not return.

In this way, the Turpan Khanate actually began to 'justifiably' send ministers to govern Hami!

In addition, in addition to the Turpan Khanate in the northern region, in the southern Xinjiang region, the aforementioned Said's luck and strength were a little bit stronger, and he successfully established the Yarkand Khanate.

The Yarkand Khanate expanded in a short period of time, and during the Jiajing period, the eastern end of the khanate's territory was Hami.

Further west of them, in present-day Central Asia, there was an even more powerful khanate, the Bukhara Khanate.

The Bukhara Khanate beat Saeed's cousin Babur to the head, forcing him to flee south.

After Babur went south, he was very surprised by the weakness of the natives in the south, and finally the autumn wind swept away the leaves and established the Mughal Empire, which was relatively familiar to the Han Chinese.

This is a story of the struggle between tribes in the remote alpine grasslands far from the perspective of the Han people, and in fact the process is more complicated, and the people of the Ming Dynasty do not seem to be very interested.

The news that Zhu Houzhao can receive now is a gibberish, and he doesn't know that the Zhongshun King of the Ming Dynasty will attach Turpan, because that is what happened in the eighth year of Zhengde.

And he, a later generation, has far less detailed understanding of the history of the Western Regions.

In fact, in real history, after Hami was annexed by the Turpan State this time, it was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that this region was ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty again.

However, although he didn't know what happened next, Zhu Houzhao still mastered the fact that the situation had deteriorated and was a little out of control.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his bottom line is that Hami cannot be lost, although it has been lost before, but during the Hongzhi period, the Ming Dynasty also had the grand event of Gansu Governor Xu Jin recovering Hami and recovering the king of Zhongshun.

Could it be that in the Zhengde period, it is still going downhill?

Absolutely not!

It's just that the time is not coincidental, at this time Zhou Shangwen is still sitting in Yulin, watching the gang clean up the tuntian.

Zhu Houzhao was lying here, also thinking quietly.

On the side, Lu En and You Ji stood and waited together.

Soon, Yang Yiqing, Wang Wei and Wang Bing of the cabinet all came over.

"Your Majesty, Ministers."

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao endured a little tiredness and got up, "You have all read the letter of the governor of Gansu, right?" ”

The three ministers were all in a low mood, "Wait, wait, look." ”

"Tell me about it."

Wang Wei first said: "The frontier matter is nothing more than war and peace, since the beginning of the fourth year of Zhengde, His Majesty transferred Jinglubo to Gansu, and the stability of the northwest is also. However, His Majesty has also said that this year and even next year will be the crucial two years for the clean-up of military cantonments to achieve practical results, and now we will fight...... This is not a good opportunity. ”

Zhu Houzhao can't say that he is wrong, this kind of thing is war, it's not two children who are vindictive, because they can't be angry and can't bear it, so I beat you, what kind of decision-making level is this?

The really powerful strategic height is to be like a teacher, I will always fight with you only when I want to fight you, and the choice of war is mine, not the enemy.

The current Da Ming is not in the best state. Reluctantly sending troops, if it is victorious, it is okay, but in case of defeat, the morale impact will be very huge.

"Where's Elder Yang Ge?"

"Hami has always been a minister to the Ming Dynasty, but also to the Ming Dynasty, Turpan State is now with Hami Zhongshun King has a lot of dealings, in the eyes of the minister, is a provocation. But after all, the Turpan Kingdom has not really invaded Hami, so the minister also agrees with what Wang Ge Lao said.

However, although war is not advisable, it cannot turn a blind eye to everything. Therefore, the minister thought that the Ming should issue a decree to be loyal to the king, reprimanded his misdeeds, and emphasized the vassal relationship between the Ming and Hami, and warned the Turpan Khanate not to act rashly.

My Ming Dynasty has been thriving since His Majesty's imperial power, and I think this attitude can also deter them for a few years. A few years later, those wolf ambitions will definitely not listen to the advice, but at that time, it will be right for the Ming Dynasty to send troops. ”

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao felt that it made sense, the idea here was very clear, and it could be said that he was polite, powerful and courteous, "How do you say that sentence?" ”

"Huh?" All three looked up.

"Don't say it......"

Yang Yiqing understood, and he answered, "Don't say it in advance." ”

"Not bad! This is the phrase that was added to the will! ”

Zhu Houzhao strongly demanded.

It's just that the three elders don't understand why the emperor has an inexplicable excitement.

Maybe their advice is just in place.

Yang Yiqing said: "Your Majesty, the minister will follow this request?" ”

"Yes."

"Your Majesty," said Wang Bing, who had not spoken, "This autumn, Your Majesty will hold a banquet to receive the envoys of various countries, can you also call the King of Zhongshun over?" ”

"Why?"

"The minister felt that since Yang Ge always wanted to use the power of the Ming Kingdom to deter the loyal and obedient king. It's better to let him go to Jingshi to see the changes in Daming in recent years. In this way, he knew what was important. ”

"I don't like that loyal king." Zhu Houzhao directly expressed his tendency.

Yang Yiqing also has a way, "You can let the king of Zhongshun send an envoy." ”

This is playing politics, and if you can't go straight, you can go around it.

Zhu Houzhao has no reason to object, "Then let them come, just right, I can also explain a few words." ”

"Yes!"

"Good. Go down, and do this for the time being. As for the actual use of troops, I will also ask Jing Yubo's opinion when I have time. ”

After the emperor waved, they each retreated.

In Lu En's eyes, this scene had happened many times, and once it was such a big event, the Son of Heaven would summon the relevant important ministers into the palace.

This is how the prosperous era in Confucianism came about: the emperor worked tirelessly to discuss state affairs with his courtiers, and if he could still listen to the advice, he would be humble and humble.

There is no need to say that, there must be such a number one person in history.

He heard that the matter of King Zhou was not as hasty as Jin Gui said. The emperor still found out the will of the first emperor......

"You are here."

Lu En was thinking about it when the emperor spoke.

"The slave is here."

"I'm tired, come and knock my legs."

"Yes."

Lu En looked a little moved, he wanted to say something, but You Ji kept giving him a look and shook his head slightly.

After a while, the emperor, who was lying down and resting, spoke, "Lu En, you go back." ”

"Uh...... I don't know where Your Majesty wants the ministers to go back? ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said with a half point of laziness: "You can go back wherever you want, whatever you want." Let's go. ”

"Yes."

Lu En knelt down to thank him, and stopped when he took two steps back, "Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask, do you want to come tomorrow?" ”

He said this, and waited for a moment.

But there was no movement.

Lu En didn't move, and waited for a while, but there was no movement.

So he couldn't help but look up, and the young emperor in his sight had already fallen asleep with his head tilted.

“…… Emperor? ”

You Ji glared at him fiercely, his brain twitched, the emperor fell asleep and shouted, how important can you be, so he immediately signaled left and right, and waved his big hand, that means: Carry this bastard away to our family!

Lu En pouted, showing a little helplessness and left.

……

……

"Are the people gone?"

You Ji was startled, he really thought that the emperor was asleep, "Go back to Your Majesty, go." ”

"When he enters the palace tomorrow, he will have to open the door for him. If you don't enter the palace, just find a county and let him be a nine-grade warden. ”

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao fell down a little more, "I'll squint for a while, don't let people disturb me." ”

"Yes."

You Ji was cautious, he was a little scared, but he sometimes thought that the emperor's thoughts and skills, Liu Jin must have been afraid at the beginning.
