The Khan of Ura finally arrived in Beijing, and he led a pilgrimage procession of 800 men, including his eldest son Karen and Taifu Wang Younian.

The emperor was very happy, and issued a decree that the king of Khan had come from afar, and there were many inconveniences in the city, so he was allowed to divide 25 hectares of land near the Ci'en Temple on the bank of the Chenliang River, and asked the king of Khan to stay here, and allowed to build obao and graze freely.

On February 2, the emperor held a grand welcome ceremony for Qimil Khan outside the Nanxun Gate, and specially invited the lamas of Xihuang Temple to pray for him, and then Zhao Tuo personally walked to the center of the steps of the vertical arch hall to greet him, and greeted Qimil Khan.

Then the guide officer invited the beggar Khan to the side hall for tea, and then entered the main hall to participate in the reception banquet prepared for him. At this feast, Khum Khan offered three things:

It did not invade each other with the Southern Dynasties, opened six mutual markets on the border, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to give books, classics and other Han works, and allowed to send 30 children to study in the country every year.

In order to show his sincerity, Kir Khan made three measures: contributed 300 horses, 400 cattle, and 3,000 sheep; Offering the seal of the Great Khan of Egu in the custody of the Ula Ministry; Thirteen people, including the eldest son, Karen, were left as the first batch of students.

It doesn't matter if you donate livestock, but you can sacrifice the seal of the country and leave behind the eldest son who can inherit the throne, which stunned all the courtiers present, including the emperor!

If leaving the eldest son is a hostage in a sense, then offering the jade seal is a frank and unmistakable surrender in the eyes of the Han courtiers.

From Taizu to Emperor Xuanzong, the four dynasties are working hard to fight the remnants of the Ergu forces, and now their Great Khan took the initiative to offer the jade seal, and some courtiers couldn't help but immediately burst into tears, and they were afraid of losing their manners, so they quickly covered their mouths and covered their faces with their sleeves and sobbed silently.

Anyone can be excited, but Zhao Tuo, who is sitting on it, cannot. After a split second of his heartbeat, he took a sip of tea and forced himself to calm down.

The young emperor smiled slightly when he saw the jade seal that Eunuch Liu had placed in front of him on a tray.

He remembered the reply letter sent back by the Wing Dragon Wei Kuaima a few days ago when he consulted Li Sanlang about the tribute of the Urabu, in which Li Dan said the following:

"Your Majesty has the four seas, then the people of Egu can also be regarded as your Majesty's people, and they should not be discriminated against or hated because of their alien race, then the name of the Celestial Empire is real!

Tang Zhisheng lies in the sea to embrace all rivers, although the former Song Dynasty is large and weak, in the rush to rule the Hu land and the Hu desperately think that the enemy is the enemy, the attack and killing is the national strength is gradually declining and the self-esteem is still unaware. I ask Your Majesty to take this as a lesson from the past."

"This jade is of excellent quality and beautifully carved, and it has been in the grassland for more than 80 years without damage, which is very rare." The emperor's words made all the ministers stunned, not knowing what he was going to do. I saw the emperor holding the jade seal with a smile and looking at it:

"I remember seeing the records of the previous dynasty, the emperor at that time used a total of five seals, and Erbi Khan only had time to take two parties with him when he left Yanjing, one of which was captured with the crown prince in the Battle of Sugus, and the remaining party should be this 'Khan of the Five Directions Prairie with the seal, is it right to say that the Khan of the Five Directions Prairie?"

"Your Majesty remembers it accurately!" The seat of the beggar Khan was on the left hand side of the emperor, and he bowed his hand to Zhao Tuo in surprise: "This seal (in the eyes of the Egu people is no different from the seal) is the one that was handed down back in those days.

Later, Khuyan Khali Khan passed it on to my father on his deathbed, and the Taishi Bu Shenggu assisted him to become the new Khan, and from then on the Urabe became the Khan's court.

Now I think that the world should be stable, and the people inside and outside the Great Wall, whether they are cultivating the land or grazing herds, do not want to have any more wars, so I take this opportunity to present it to Your Majesty.

From now on, Your Majesty is not only the emperor of the cultivators in the Great Wall, but also the Great Khan of the people of the steppe!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Tuo caught a glimpse of several ministers who were already so excited that they were about to speak, laughed, pressed down with his left hand, and said, "Qingzhi's true feelings, I have seen and heard with my own eyes.

Since then, the Ergu tribes and the Han people, the Uighurs, the Dangxiang, the Qiang, the Tubo, the Baizhao, and the Dali have been one, and they have all been the saints of China and Confucius and Mencius.

The people of Egu are also the people of me, and there is no distinction between the same and the same, and the princes also enjoy the same treatment as the secretaries of the dynasty, and take the clans as siblings. Isn't that so?"

The beggar Khan hurriedly got up and put his hand to his heart: "Your Majesty is wise, unexpectedly

I have a clear understanding of what we are thinking and thinking, and I admire it so much! Urabe is willing to be a good leader, so that the grassland can put down its swords and guns and quell the war from now on!"

Zhao Tuo stroked his palms and smiled, turned his head and asked Karen, "Your father said that you would stay in Jingshi, are you willing?"

Karen got up and left the table and came to the front to bow down: "The minister has studied Chinese studies with Taifu since he was a child, and he has admired the Celestial Empire for a long time. However, the more I learned, the more I felt that I knew too little, knew too little, and my horizons were not broad enough.

Karen will return to the grassland in the future to shepherd the side of His Majesty, and there are many things to learn, and staying in Beijing is not only the intention of his father Khan, but also the minister's own will. Your Majesty's permission!"

"Your Chinese language is good, respecting the teacher is meritorious!" The emperor said loudly to the Taifu Wang Younian who came with him, "Taifu is old this year? You were born in the grasslands, right?"

"The minister was born in the grassland, and his father was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple when he was in Yanjing, and he still taught the Four Books and Five Classics in the grassland." Wang Younian came out to bow down and replied:

"When he was young, he came to Beijing as an interpreter (translator) for the mission, and when he met Emperor Ren, he felt that he had learned very little, but it was a pity that he could not stay in the Central Plains to study for a longer time.

Although Karen is a student of the minister, he is intelligent and discerning, and the minister has nothing left to teach him, but I hope that Your Majesty will find him a good teacher with higher learning."

"Okay, I've got it!" Zhao Tuo beckoned to Karen at the bottom of the stairs, and then turned to the bookcase, and the wooden box containing the seal walked down, and as soon as he put it in Karen's hand, the courtiers felt that their hearts also sank.

"You better take this thing back and give it back to your father Khan." Zhao Tuo said with a smile.

"Huh?" Karen was stunned, and everyone behind him was stunned. "Your Majesty, doesn't Your Majesty like it?" When Clen said this, his face turned a little red.

In his opinion, this is something that everyone on the grassland wants to snatch as if they are crazy, but the emperor doesn't want it...... He couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Your Highness Karen, don't be rude!" The Ministry of Rites official reminded.

"It's okay, it's okay." The emperor waved his hand, lifted the hem of the dragon robe, sat down on the steps, patted Karen on the shoulder and said to him, "Karen, this jade seal reads: The seal of the Great Khan of the Five Grasslands, do you know what the Five Grasslands are?"

"Well, of course you do. Yeerjiang in the west, Luyan in the east, Bria and Kerco in the north, Ula and Huila in the middle, and Seyan in the south, are the meaning of the steppe of the five directions." Karen did not know what the emperor wanted to know, and replied honestly.

"I'm sorry, uh...... Your Majesty, I probably see what you mean." The beggar Khan suddenly raised his right hand and said.

"Oh? What does the Great Khan understand, tell me about it?" Zhao Tuo nodded to him encouragingly.

"Your Majesty means that Ulla is here, but none of the other ministries are coming. His Majesty wants a veritable Great Khan of the Five Directions Steppe, not ...... superficial. Your Majesty, am I right?" Beggar Khan asked, pressing his hand on his chest.

"Well, you guessed pretty much." Zhao Tuo nodded: "One jade seal is nothing, I also have several jade seals. Having a jade seal does not mean that there is a human heart.

Your father and son have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to give it to me first, and I and all the ministers of the imperial court are very grateful and moved. However, it does not represent the support of all the tribes and all the people of the steppe for me.

At that time, your ancestors received the support of the seventy-three tribes on the banks of the Erent River and became the Great Khan of Ergu, and in the time of his grandson Monto Khan, he asked the then Taishi Tokhtar Timur to write and engrave this jade seal.

At that time, the territory of the former dynasty crossed the Urals in the west, the sea in the east, the Indochina Peninsula in the south, and the ice field in the north.

It was a real Wanbang Xianfu, and it was not a few scholars who wrote two articles praising merit and virtue, and even I mentioned it now with admiration and admiration."

Speaking of this, Zhao Tuo stepped forward to help their father and son: "Beggar'er Khan, it's not that you are insincere or have done something bad.

I was indeed very happy to see this jade seal just now, but thinking about the ancestors more than 170 years ago, the martial arts they achieved made me feel ashamed!

I took over this empire from the hands of the former emperor, and I have only been in power for three years, and in all respects I can't even catch up with half of the emperor

Don't talk about monarchs like Monto Khan.

That's why I don't dare to accept this jade seal, can you understand this truth?"

"Your Majesty, this is ......." Han Wei, who was on the side, tried to persuade softly, but was interrupted by a cough, he looked back and saw that it was Zheng Shouzheng who was apologizing to the guard on duty, so he closed his mouth.

The Emperor did not seem to pay any attention to this little episode, and he put his hand on the back of the hand of the beggar Khan, and said cordially:

"Now please keep it on my behalf for the time being, and when the Egu tribes feel that I am worthy of this jade seal, we will also have a grand alliance, and then the Qing will return it to me."

"But ......."

"Don't worry. In this way, I Fengqing was the beggar Ergus Khan, and he was given seven sections of white and black silk, and the prince's guard of honor, with Taishi Tobigu as the king's minister, and Wang Taifu as the left long history of the palace.

Each of the seven departments of the grassland has one commander, two commanders, two servants, and several commanders.

The king's minister, the deputy minister and the left and right long history, as well as the princes, dukes, marquis, and commanders of the various ministries and counties, are all nominated by the secretary, and the chief history and the commander of the capital are appointed by the secretary to submit to the Beijing division for the record. How?" The Emperor sat down as he walked back to the Imperial Library.

Beggar Khan didn't understand a little, and it dawned on him as soon as Karen and Wang Younian next to him translated, and happily immediately pressed his hands on his heart and bowed down:

"Your Majesty is wise and great, and the beggar is willing to be your trustworthy fence forever, and be optimistic about all the cattle and sheep on the prairie!"

Zhao Tuo laughed: "Look, it's so good that we have been fighting with knives and guns for so many years, so it's better for us to have a good drink and talk face-to-face!"

I said Great Khan, what you said about the establishment of two mutual markets in Datong, Xuanfu and Yulin seems to have already greeted the Huila Ministry, right? I'm right!

Go back and send someone to tell Seyan that if he is willing to pay tribute, I will also open two mutual markets for him, and there is a benefit for everyone!"

"I must convey it, I must convey it, the people of Seyan are definitely willing, and I will also tell the Huila Ministry to let them come to see Your Majesty as soon as possible!"

"Well, if the two of them are willing to come, I hope they will bring their most beautiful women, and I have two brothers who can take them as concubines."

His eyes lit up, and he immediately exchanged glances with his son. "Understood, please rest assured, the Great Emperor will definitely handle this matter!" He replied happily, his face flushing red.

Wonderful, if you can marry a daughter to the emperor, then the position of the Urabe in the steppe will be unshakable! He had eleven daughters, seven of whom were not yet married. This matter will be discussed tonight, and someone will be sent back to the grassland immediately tomorrow morning!

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with this. Can we allow the ministers to consult?" Han Wei couldn't help it, and said after stepping forward and saluting.

"Aiqing, isn't there a lotus concubine from North Korea by my side? Why not?" Zhao Tuo sneered in his heart: "The outer domains can still be like this, let alone the grassland tribes? I think it can be a higher level than the outer domain, what does the royal rite department think?"

Wang Gan was looking down to ponder the dishes, and when he heard the emperor calling himself, he raised his head suddenly: "The minister is here!"

He was distracted just now and didn't pay attention to what Han Wei was arguing with the emperor, so he swept his eyes for help and fell on Zhu Zhan Feng next to him. Zhu Fat Man pretended to eat tea, and moved his lips silently with his sleeves.

Wang Gan woke up and thought to himself that His Majesty wanted to taste the beauty of the grassland, so he came to me to find a legal basis.

He deliberately stood up solemnly, stepped forward, and bowed, and already had an idea in his heart:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ulla and other ministries are dedicated to Confucianism and study, and they should set an example to the world! Let Ye Erqiang, Kelco, and other tribes see the tolerance of our Celestial Empire."

"Eh, Wang Shangshu is confused, how can there be a reason to break the system for the sake of temperament?" Han Wei shook his hand and said.

"Alas, it's Shousuke who is confused, how can there be a system to prohibit the royal family from marrying a foreign woman?"

"It's ......." At this moment, Han Wei was stuck.

"Wang Qing, you are familiar with allusions, can there be a precedent of intermarriage between the royal family and foreign vassals in the past?" Zhao Tuo asked.

"Your Majesty, if you look further, Li Lingrong, the mother of Emperor Sima Yao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is a Kunlun slave.

Look at the Tang Dynasty again, as wise as Tai

Zong Li Shimin, his grandmother Dugu, his mother Dou, and the queen's eldest grandson are all of Hu blood.

Even in this dynasty, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong had Jiaozhi and Korean concubines around them, and Emperor Taizong's seventh son, King Fengsu, had his side concubines from the Kerr tribes.

Therefore, the ministers thought that there was a precedent for intermarriage between the royal family and the clan and the inner and outer domains, but it was customary not to be established as queens and concubines." Wang Gan quoted scriptures and said that Han Wei was speechless, and Zheng Shou shook his head secretly.

"How? Wang Qing is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is familiar with the allusions and laws, and I think that it is very good, so I will use it as a permanent example from now on!" In the chanting of the courtiers, Zhao Tuo was very satisfied.

The purpose he wants to achieve today is not less than the honor he wants to obtain, and after rejecting Han Wei, the emperor's authority must have strengthened a little more in the hearts of the ministers.

Walking out of the Vertical Arch Palace, Zheng Shou came behind Han Wei and complained in a low voice: "What's wrong with Shoufu today, he is in a hurry to come out again and again? You see that Xie pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't say a word, how unwise is it for you to jump out to stop Your Majesty at this time, and you are in front of a foreign domain?"

"If I don't speak, tomorrow the Ula Department will be stuffed with a mother, do you believe it?" Han argued.

"So what?" Zheng Shou shook his head: "Even if he is a concubine, isn't it good? Everyone in the world will see and know that their emperor has sealed an Ergu people, and there will naturally be people who speak, why do you have to make a direct admonition?

In case you and Your Majesty fight for this, Your Excellency doesn't do this first assistant, how can I and other Jinghu officials deal with themselves?"

"If I offend Your Majesty and take it upon myself, what does it matter to you?" Han Wei stiffened his neck and refused to accept it.

"You forgot, King Xiang was deposed, and the prince changed his title to King Peng and moved to Changyi! At this time, we are not holding our tails and being people, are we still sending them to the door to annoy others?" Seeing that the other party was silent, he sighed:

"We all look at the stallion first, and if the stallion is ....... In the future, Wanggong must not open his mouth because of his own likes and dislikes, hehe!" After saying that, he gave up his hand and walked away.

At this time, on the other side of the platform, Xie Minhong and several Jiangnan officials such as Fei Jin were talking together. When someone said that it was a pity that His Majesty did not accept the jade seal, Xie Minhong smiled and turned his head to look at Fei Jin: "Brother Fei Jin again, what do you think of this?"

"Your Majesty is brilliant!"

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"This jade seal is a treasure, who doesn't want it from the grasslands?

Which one gets his hands on means that he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, control the Great Khan of Egu to force the other ministries to bow their heads, or do the story of Sun and Wu's separation.

But it is also a hot potato, because all the ministries will turn the spearhead, and those who are not strong enough will soon be weakened or even swallowed up, just as the Urabu is now being manipulated by the Taishi Tobigu.

Your Majesty doesn't want the jade seal, but leaves this treasure to Ula.

Tobigu has developed very rapidly in the past two years, and the Jade Seal's stay in Ula seems to be His Majesty's recognition of the Khan position of the beggar, and even through him to influence and control the grassland, but in fact, it has brought all the enemies to Ulla.

Live or die, it's up to them. Therefore, Your Majesty is wise!"

"I see!" Everyone was stunned. The corners of Xie Minhong's mouth turned up slightly, and he told everyone as if he was plucking: "Don't look at the surface of things, but look at the substance. It's like reading a book to be able to read the words on the page."

Cui Ye (the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple) and Yangzhong (the left waiter of the Ministry of Works) and Sun Liao (the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials) walked together, and they are the representatives of the newly rising "Qingzhuang faction".

After listening to the laborious evaluation, Cui Ye asked, "Two, do you think he has a point?"

"Don't talk in private, so as not to cause trouble." Sun Liao swept to both sides with his eyes: "There are many people here, and they are not a place to speak. Let's find a secluded place when we go out."

"Your Majesty is wise," Yang Zhong sighed, looked at the eyes of the two and smiled: "He is right, Your Majesty is not very old, but the situation of handling government affairs in the past two years is indeed a wise king!"

You can see the "Law on the Guarantee of Mine Production", "The Organization, Training and Use of League Training in the Prefecture Governments", "The Construction of Civilian Factories for Parliamentary Officers and Military Weapons and Uniforms", and "The Funding, Organization and Management Office of the Civil Chamber of Commerce and Clubs".

Law", "Measures for the Opening of Ports and the Establishment of Customs" .......

This is an unheard of, but very practical initiative.

I wondered, where did Your Majesty know so much and know so much? Alas, anyway, I'm afraid we've met Mingjun!"

"Yes, that's why a female cadre like Er Yang can't stay in the court!" Cui Ye grinned.

"Shh......hh Sun Liao made a forbidden gesture.

"Uh, am I wrong? Okay, let's see, are there fewer and fewer female officials in this court......."

"Shhh......h Sun Liao was almost angry. Yangzhong and Cui Ye glanced at each other and laughed.

"If you think it's reasonable, vote for a monthly ticket or a recommendation ticket! Thank you."
