With the latest directives from the new governor, the guards began to search for people.

In the evening of the same day, an eagle spread its wings from the city of Datongfu in the Great Wall, and then quickly climbed over the side wall of the Great Wall to the endless prairie, and finally landed in the camp full of yurts.

Although they retreated back just after entering the pass, since ancient times, they have been "bandits like combs, and soldiers like grates", and some Mongolian cavalry still took the opportunity to loot.

At this moment, completely ignoring where their food came from, they are singing and dancing there.

The eagle that flew out of the city of Datong actually landed, landed precisely on the shelf outside a yurt, and then let out a crisp call.

A falconer took the letter from the eagle's feet, then took out the small note from the letter and put it into the sweat tent.

Chen Kun was still careless after all, or he was still too young, and when he ordered the entire Datong Province to search for Ikxi, the news also reached the camp of the Mongol army.

After Manduhai learned the news, he had already guessed what was going on, and even summoned all the tribal leaders to Dayan Khan's tent.

Dayan Khan has been very low-key recently, and it has been Manduhai who has always been in power in the army, and this loss of Ikxi is related to the fact that he persuaded Manduhai to allow Ikxi to go south with the mission.

"This Ming man is too cunning, let's kill him now!"

"What if they go back now and they've already found Princess Ixsy?"

"We can't let them tease like this, it will lose the face of our Dayuan!"

……

After learning that they had been deceived by the Ming Dynasty, many tribal leaders called out that they had been deceived, and they instigated them to enter the Datong tunnel again.

When Man Duhai learned that he was teased by Datong, he didn't say much, but set his sights in the direction where Beijing City was located.

Although they have already come to Datong, their real opponent has never been the governor of Xuanda in front of them, but the high Ming Emperor.

Only when the emperor chose to compromise and make concessions in order to enjoy temporary stability, this was the real "big victory" of their Great Yuan's expedition.

Beijing, Xiyuan.

As the military situation of Datong passed through the Tang newspaper, the important ministers of the capital gathered in the palace of raising the heart.

In fact, when Daming chose to refuse tribute, many people already expected that there would be this war, but they didn't expect that Manduhai came with the power of the whole country, let alone that it actually involved a princess of the Northern Yuan.

It's just that since the matter has happened, and they are now one of the top decision-makers of this dynasty, it is natural to come up with a response plan as soon as possible.

"How can we be threatened by the Tartars, and if we want to fight, we will fight them to the end!"

"They have a good calculation, they want both their daughter and supplies, it's just wishful thinking!"

"It is said that Yi Kexi looks like a fairy, and he is even favored by Mandu Hai, and with this woman in his hand, he can make Mandu Hai cast a rat bogey!"

……

In the face of the latest situation in Datong, Li Yu and other important ministers of the Ministry of Ministers learned of the two conditions offered by Manduhai, and they expressed their positions one after another.

Although some of them still yearn for peace in their hearts, after all, they are too comfortable to live at the top of the ruling class now, but they know that the current Hongzhi Dynasty will not allow Confucius.

Although there is no transposition of the Liubu Shangshu now, there have been frequent changes at the level of the Liubu Shilang recently, and some mediocre and contented officials are usually retired or exiled to Nanjing.

What's more, the two conditions set by Manduhai this time are simply too deceitful, and a Mongolian force that has not yet completed the unification actually forced them to bow their heads, so naturally there is no reason to agree.

It is precisely because of this, no matter how much they yearn for peace in their hearts, and even want to compromise and seek satisfaction, they do not stand up at this time to express their agreement with the two conditions put forward by Manduhai.

Liu Jin sent new sandalwood, but he wanted to make the fragrance here stronger.

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty is still in power by Manduhai, and holding Yikexi in his hands is the most important thing!"

"Yes, we can't return Ikxi now, we can use Ikxi to blackmail the truce in Manduhai!"

"Yikexi is the heart of Manduhai, let's take Yikexi as a hostage, and then Daming will be able to advance and retreat freely!"

……

The head of the household, Li Si and other important ministers actively participated in it, and now they focused their attention on Manduhai's daughter, and they found their own opinions.

Because Zhu Youzhu attached great importance to the suggestions of the intelligence system, he especially improved the treatment of the personnel sent to Mongolia, and thus obtained more useful information.

For the sake of deliberations, Mr Chu will also share some important information from time to time.

It was precisely because of this that all the important ministers present knew that it was still Manduhai who was still in power, not the fourteen-year-old Khan Ting Khan, who had just been pushed to the front of the stage.

As for Yi Kexi, the most favored princess of the Northern Yuan, she also couldn't escape the reconnaissance of the Ming intelligence system, so they all knew that Yi Kexi had a lot of weight in Mandu Hai's heart.

Zhu Youzhi knew that as an excellent leader, he knew that he could not rush to express his position, but should listen carefully to the opinions and opinions of these important ministers.

He has the advantage of having the vision of the future, but he has the disadvantage of not knowing enough about this era, so it is necessary to listen to the opinions of these important ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you all seem to have forgotten something important!" It was at this moment that Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Wan An and the others turned their heads to look at this low-key Ministry of Works, although Jia Jun didn't say much in each meeting, but it seemed to be out of a rigorous character in supervising the construction of works, but he could always be to the point.

Zhu Youzhu also had some interest, so he turned his head to look at the capable secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"According to our intelligence, Iksin is missing outside the customs. Not to mention the greater possibility that she didn't enter the customs, and we have to find out the person first, so that we can talk about taking her hostage, right? Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, met everyone's eyes and said his opinion.

Li Yu and the others couldn't help but smile, and found that they were indeed too optimistic just now.

Since the person disappeared outside the gate, it is more likely that the person is not in Datong. Even if Chen Kun digs three feet into the ground in Datong Mansion, I am afraid that he will not be able to arrest people back, so the plan they just made will become meaningless.

It's just a trade-off of his own interests, if he can capture Princess Ikxi, it's really a good bargaining chip.

It was at this moment that a little eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside.

Since the Supreme Council was now being convened, it was not usually a time to disturb the Emperor unless it was a matter of great urgency.

Wan An and other officials noticed that the little eunuch was holding a Tang newspaper in his hand, and realized that there was a new military situation at the border pass, and they couldn't help but cheer up.

Zhu Youji's heart tightened, and he immediately guessed that it was likely that there was a new battle situation on the Datong side, but he took the Tang newspaper and found that it was from Xuanfu.

Xuanfu?

Li Yu and the others frowned slightly, but they didn't know how the good Duan Xuanfu sent the Tang newspaper.

"Your Majesty, but Manduhai sneaked up on Xuanfu?" Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was an anxious man, so he couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Youzhu shook his head slightly, raised the Tang Bao in his hand to meet the eyes of the courtiers, and announced: "Just now, Li Yue, the governor of Xuanfu, came to report that they had captured a Mongolian girl in Xuanfu, and this woman claimed to be Yikexi. Check Li Yue carefully checked, this Mongolian girl's clothes and conversation are in line with the identity of the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, carrying a golden dagger with a lot of origin, and her appearance is as beautiful as rumored, so Li Yue believes that this woman is the daughter of Manduhai Yikexi! ”

"Haha...... God bless me! ”

"With such obvious characteristics, this person must be Ikxi, the daughter of Manduhai!"

"In this case, let's take Princess Yixixi as a hostage and directly force Manduhai to retreat!"

……

After the officials such as Li Si, the head of the household department, learned of the situation, although the matter had not yet reached a final conclusion, they still seemed optimistic.

I thought that they were too blindly optimistic earlier, and they didn't want to go to heaven but chose them, so that Princess Yixi really fell into their hands.

Whether it is to send Ikexi back directly, or to detain Ikxi as a hostage, now they have firmly grasped the initiative.

Zhu Youzhu believed in Li Yue's judgment, so he asked seriously: "Since Manduhai's daughter Yikexi has fallen into our hands, how to deal with Yikexi now, let's discuss it!" ”

Zhu Youzhu threw out the issue, and the ministers present, the six Shangshu and the six servants discussed the plan together, and finally Zhu Youzhu made the decision, which has long been a fixed process.

"The minister thought that he would immediately order the Xuanfu to send Princess Yikexi to the capital as a hostage!"

"This kind of practice is inappropriate, Yikexi is the pearl of Mandu Sea, and Datong and Xuanfu are afraid that there will be no peace!"

"If you want to fight, you will fight, why should we worry about Manduhai, she doesn't dare to be presumptuous anymore if she detains her daughter as a human quality!"

……

Faced with this issue, the official secretary knew that he had assumed that the Mongolian girl was indeed Princess Yixi, so he expressed his opinion one after another.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan!" Xu Qiong's eyes lit up slightly, and he was immediately ready to offer advice.

Zhu Youzhu picked up the teacup he had just sent, and said lightly: "Say!" ”

"Please forgive your majesty for the sins of the old minister first!" Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, carefully observed Zhu Youji's reaction, and even put forward a condition.

Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was suddenly unhappy, so he asked directly: "Lord Xu, which one are you singing?" ”

Zhu Youzhu gently blew the hot air in the tea, and then reiterated: "I have already said earlier that as long as you are not disrespectful to me and our ancestors, you are not guilty of discussing matters here!" ”

"The minister's words seem to be a little disrespectful!" Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, swallowed and spat, looking cautious.

Li Yu and other officials couldn't help but look at each other, although they knew that Zhu Youzhu had always been very generous, but Xu Qiong was going to touch the tiger's ass to find death!

Zhu Youji's brows frowned slightly, but he knew that Xu Qiong, a sycophant, should know how to be measured, so he took a sip of tea and said, "I forgive you for your innocence!" ”

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent Manduhai from overreacting, I think you can include Yikexi in the harem! This move can magnificently keep Princess Yikexi in Daming, and it can also make Manduhai dare not easily invade Daming in the future, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! After Xu Qiong was assured, she put forward her own suggestion.

Hey?

As soon as these words came out, the important ministers present couldn't help but look at each other.

It's not that this suggestion is unreliable, but letting the dignified Emperor Ming marry a foreign princess sounds very strange.

"Xu Shangshu, as a dignified scholar of the Ministry of Rites, how can you make such an unseemly proposal?" It was at this moment that a sudden outburst of anger came.

Li Yu and others, the secretary of the ministry, heard the prestige and found that the person who questioned it turned out to be Liu Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Not to mention that the habit of buttoning hats at every turn is very bad, and it is simply a crime.

Xu Qiong found out that it was his subordinate official who questioned it, and immediately retorted disdainfully: "Liu Shilang, it is true that this official is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but he is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty!" This strategy can not only keep Princess Ikxi in Daming in a grand way, but also make Manduhai dare not invade again, what is wrong after all? ”

"Let's gather here today to discuss national affairs, don't mention the name of the yamen at every turn, all ministries and yamen can't have a stand, everything should be based on state affairs!" Wan An is actually prejudiced against Liu Jian, and even if he uses the topic to play authentically.

Cough!

Li Yu and other officials coughed lightly, and they all looked at Liu Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, expressionlessly, invisibly putting pressure on the restless left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

There is no good proposal so far, but it is a pleasure to pull people back, and I really don't understand what confidence this left waiter of the Ministry of Rites has to speak so loudly.

After all, Liu Jian is not the Liu Jian who was like a fish in water in the civil official group in the original history, and now the identity of the emperor has become worthless, and even he does not have too strong talent.

Faced with the pressure exerted by the important ministers present, he could only reluctantly admit his mistake and said: "The lesson of the elder of the Wan Pavilion is that the lower officials will correct it in the future!" ”

"Although our meeting is to focus on state affairs, Your Majesty is the son of tomorrow, and he is the body of ten thousand gold, and marrying the daughter of a foreigner is detrimental to his identity, Liu Shilang's worries are not unreasonable!" Qiu Jun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is an authentic minister, but he suddenly supported Liu Jiandao.

Hey?

Hubu Shangshu Li Si and the others all looked at this little old man, and found that no matter what happened to the minister, they could always make up a lot of reasons to stop it.

Li Yuzheng wanted to refute, but suddenly noticed that Zhu Youzhu was about to speak, and swallowed back the words that he spit out into his mouth.

Zhu Youzhu was actually not keen on political marriages, but he also knew that it would be beneficial and harmless to keep Yikexi, so he said lightly: "Since Taizong can marry a Korean woman, I can also accept a Mongolian woman, this move is not a discount!" In this case, you will discuss whether Xu Qing's policy is feasible, and everything should be in the interests of the country! ”
