Boyan Timur, who had figured it out, returned to his tent and ordered his subordinates to pack up in advance, giving the public reason that the Ming Dynasty was about to redeem the emperor, and the war would be over.

Although there were only 10,000 people in the department of Boyan Timur, such a lead made the entire Warat camp panic. So much so that even Yexian's henchmen spontaneously focused on Yexian's Chinese army tent to inquire about the news.

If there really is a million taels of white silver, most of the generals are willing to throw up the army. Although 20,000 troops were lost under the city of Beijing, it was the three Polo brothers who died, and everyone did not have the will to avenge Polo.

From the perspective of interests, it is good that Polo is dead, without Polo's 20,000 troops, there will be 20,000 less spoils, and the rest of the people will be much larger.

One million taels, plus the eight cars of rare treasures sent by Emperor Sun privately before, as well as the materials looted along the way, are enough for everyone to live comfortably for a year.

Nomads, isn't it just a year to count as a year, and the next year is not enough, just grab it again.

Even if Boyan Timur openly wanted to run away, he still didn't dare to do anything with this younger brother at first. Polo is already dead, and if Boyan Timur is pushed to the opposite side, then once the tripartite alliance of Tokhtarbuhua, Arazhiyuan and Da Mingzi is gone, the situation can no longer be controlled.

Although he had a hunch that there would be a move between Totokhunhua and Arazhiyuan, he never dreamed that the two of them had gone so far, to the extent that they would immediately join forces with Da Tianzi to kill themselves.

So he first scolded his henchmen and generals, and then in the name of opening up the way back and raising grain and grass, he ordered Boyan Timur to return to Datong from the original way through the Bauhinia Pass, and the main army would return to the west after getting the remaining ransom.

Boyan Timur gladly accepted the order, and the other generals were satisfied when they saw that the war was expected to end, and they dispersed.

The concubines brought by the mission were brought back by Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming; The mission also brought a new felt tent to arrange for the eight newly brought talents.

Zhu Qizhen summoned Hu Hui, Chen Yi and others to discuss secretly, and Ma Liang and others went back to the military tent to rest.

The four newly given concubines, plus the previous four concubines, Ma Liang looked at the eight stunning beauties in his tent, and couldn't help sighing in his heart. Ma Liang also wants to live comfortably with a stunning stunner, but unfortunately he is the male favorite of the emperor, obviously he is not happy, and he has to flatter the emperor against his will.

I don't know when this day will come to an end, and the Emperor Taishang also clearly instructed that only he can touch these concubines, and Ma Liang can only look at them, not use them, isn't this torture.

Fortunately, Ma Liang has experienced a lot, but he can also figure it out. But Yuan Bin is different, Yuan Bin was originally a low-level Jinyi guard, and just now the mission read out the edict of the new monarch, appointing Yuan Bin and Ha Ming as commanders.

Yuan Bin has never experienced these things at the top, and he is relatively simple. The queen gave four concubines, and Yuan Bin really thought that these concubines were his own.

When Yuan Bin returned to the tent, he saw a beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, crying by the bedside, and the other three beauties patiently comforted her.

So Yuan Bin asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Who wronged her? ”

One of the older concubines explained: "Husband Qi, our youngest Ling'er sister has just turned fourteen years old, and although she is from the Sect Division, she has not yet budded.

Just now, Zuo Si Le, the secretary of the teaching workshop, sent someone to inform us that the twelve new concubines should all strip naked, cover their faces with scarves, and kneel in the newly built felt tent next to the emperor, waiting for the emperor to choose. The one selected was to sleep for the emperor, but Ling'er's sister was unwilling, so she cried.

Yuan Bin asked curiously: "Didn't the four of you give it to me from the queen's mother, why are you still in charge of the sect?" What is the reason for sleeping for the emperor? “

Concubine Ji replied: "We are lowly women from the Jiaofang Division, if we give it directly to the Emperor, it will insult the reputation of the royal family, so the Queen will send us here in the name of giving concubines, which is actually for the Emperor to enjoy."

The three of us don't care, our bodies aren't clean anyway. It's just that Ling'er's sister hasn't been killed, so please ask her husband to save her. ”

Yuan Bin's back was cold when he heard this, and he could still have such a roundabout technique, and the queen really took great pains to send a woman to the emperor.

Not long after, the priest of the teaching workshop, Zuo Sile Jinrong, came to urge the women to go to the emperor's felt tent.

Yuan Bin, who has always been upright, still argued with reason and left Ling'er behind, while the other three daughters lived in the felt tent next to the emperor, changing clothes and kneeling with the other women, ready to accept the emperor's selection.

Zhu Qizhen was just in his felt tent and asked Hu Hu and the others, "Does the new monarch really want to redeem me?" ”

Hu Hui replied: "Your Majesty, at least so far, the new monarch is really trying to redeem His Majesty. The 600,000 taels raised by the Queen Mother have already been sent.

The new monarch raised another 300,000 taels, plus the 100,000 taels from the Qi Palace, and the ransom was enough. Although it was brutal at first, it was still more reasonable to speak, and besides, the military rations of Warat were enough to support it for more than ten days.

According to common sense, after receiving the next 400,000 taels first, it is time to let His Majesty return to the city. ”

"In that case, then the Zhou family also sent so many women and ten carts of red Luo charcoal, what is this for? I heard that she also sent the sect priest Zuo Sile to manage the sixteen concubines, and looking at her appearance, it seems that she is still planning to let me live in the Wara Battalion Chief. ”

Hu Hui replied helplessly: "The matter of the harem is beyond the words of the ministers. As for sending the concubine over, I think Queen Zhou is sympathetic to His Majesty and wants His Majesty to live a comfortable life. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he sighed in his heart, although he knew that Zhou's behavior was a little weird, but those women in the teaching workshop were really impossible to refuse. After using these women, and then looking at those nobles and talented people, it is simply the same as chewing wax, and it is tasteless.

Without waiting for Zhu Qizhen to sigh, Hu Hu talked about how the emperor would deal with himself when he returned to the city.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "Uncle Zong, you are the only remaining Emperor Tuo Gu Heavy Minister, what do you say to do now?" “

Hu Hu shook his head: "Your Majesty, it is almost impossible to reset. According to the minister's opinion, going out to avoid trouble is the right way. ”

"What if I insist on staying in the capital? I've been used to living in the Forbidden City since I was a child, so I want to stay in the Forbidden City, and I don't want to go anywhere. ”

Hu Hu stopped speaking when he heard this, starting from Taizong, the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty had an inseparable obsession with the Forbidden City in Beijing. Except for the current absurd new monarch, who regards the Forbidden City as a flood beast, other emperors love the Forbidden City to death.

In fact, whether it is Zhu Qizhen or Hu Hu and other ministers, they all understand that as long as Zhu Qizhen is willing to go to Fengyang, all problems can be solved. The new monarch will not do anything to the emperor's family, and the ministers do not have to be caught in it and be angry left and right.

The key problem is that Zhu Qizhen refused to leave.

Emperor Taishang lived in the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, and it was also thanks to the two brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu who came up with it. The emperors of all dynasties, how could they do this.
