Neither Zhu Qiyu nor Yang Hong had ever looked down upon this person.

Compared with his fighting ability, what is more terrifying about him is actually his resourcefulness.

Wala Ziyexian rose to prominence when his father Tuohuan was in power, but he truly reached his peak after Yexian became the Grand Master.

In just ten years, he first completely eliminated Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, making the other party a puppet in his hands, and then controlled most of the tribes on the grassland through different methods.

Subsequently, on the one hand, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and sent tribute envoys in the name of sending tribute envoys, but in fact he defrauded property and constantly tested the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, he captured Hami to the northwest, and continued to draw in and put pressure on the Seven Guards of Kansai, forcing

The Seven Guards of Kansai retreat step by step.

At the same time, he also went east to attack Wuliangha, plundered the Jurchens, and forced these tribes that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty to serve him.

It can be said that under the leadership of Yexian, Wala's power was connected from east to west and was almost unrivaled on the grassland.

Being able to achieve such a situation requires more than just bravery.

It can be seen from the civil war alone that Ye Xian is a man of many tricks. Especially after he captured Zhu Qizhen, his repeated negotiations with Ming Dynasty were very gentle and cruel. If he is not careful, he can easily...

Fall into his trap.

From this perspective, it is not unreasonable for Ye Xian to always have ambitions and want to recreate the glory of Dayuan.

Therefore, it is not unusual for the Tatars to take the initiative to move the trouble eastward and lead it to the Ming Dynasty when the Tatars were in civil strife.

However, the fact that he was able to take action so quickly showed that he must have already known the specific details of the Tatar civil strife.

Combined with the news that Yang Jie has arrived at the Torgut tribe, it can almost be concluded that Bodu told Ye Xian the inside story.

This almost means that Yang Jie's plan has failed.

Therefore, in many cases, conspiracy is a very dangerous thing.

What Yang Jie did on the grassland was a bet with his own life at every step, but he had successfully plotted against everyone before.

But now, he obviously underestimated Bodu's loyalty to Yexian. This small mistake may put his life in danger.

Looking at Yang Hong's worried eyes, Zhu Qiyu sighed, took out Yang Jie's letter that he had originally received and had put it in a new envelope, ordered someone to hand it to Yang Hong, and then said.

"Marquis Yang should be able to tell that the report I showed you was not written by Yang Jie himself. What he really sent was this letter."

Yang Hong naturally recognized his son's calligraphy.

Therefore, from the moment he saw the report, Yang Hong's heart was always worried, but he didn't show it.

It was only at this moment, when he saw the letter in front of him, that he felt relieved.

Without any time to say more, Yang Hong opened the letter and started reading it. However, as he read it, he also discovered something was wrong. He couldn't help but raise his head in confusion and looked at the emperor.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu told him everything and said.

"This letter is a disguise. The real news was brought back by the sender's dictation."

"In addition to the news I just showed you, Yang Jie asked me for two things."

"First, Yang Jie promised the Tumut tribe to stop the burning of wasteland in Ningxia, allowed its herdsmen to graze on pastures within a hundred miles of the Ming Dynasty border, and officially named the leader of the Tumut tribe as King Zhongshun."

"In exchange, the Tumut tribe will send the eldest son of its leader to the capital to study at Zongxue. At the same time, he will temporarily lead the cavalry and obey all Yang Jie's orders."

"What?"

Hearing these words, Yang Hong didn't even care about the disgrace before him and subconsciously exclaimed.

He had already vaguely sensed that there must be a lot of hidden secrets behind what Yang Jie did on the grassland.

However, he did not expect that Yang Jie would be so courageous.

You must know that the Tumut tribe is one of the five major tribes of Tatar, and there are also several large tribes in the entire Mongolia.

The surrender of this kind of tribe was a big event for the Ming Dynasty!

As for the conditions and treatment of surrender, they need to be discussed carefully. However, Yang Jie, a mere town governor, dared to decide such a big matter rashly.

This is no longer a matter of courage, this is an overstep of authority!

The measure of burning wasteland has always been an important means for the Ming Dynasty to defend the grassland tribes. To put it bluntly, it means burning all the grasslands near the Ming Dynasty border. In this way, it can not only broaden the field of vision, make it easier to detect the enemy's situation, but also effectively block the cavalry.

of tightness.

After all, the most important thing for cavalry is horses, and horses need fodder. If the pastures are not burned, the opponent's horses can use the materials locally, which will greatly reduce the pressure on logistics.

Now, Yang Jie has not only agreed to annex the Tumote Department, but also decided without authorization to cancel the measures to burn wasteland in Ningxia.

To say that this kind of decision is ultra vires is an understatement.

Even if the emperor wanted to do this, he would have to go through court consultation, let alone Yang Jie?

That's not all, Yang Hong soon realized a more terrifying problem.

According to the news from Yang Jie, after the civil strife in Tatar, it was the Tumote Department who protected him from leaving Tatar.

This means that Yang Jie is very likely not just a promise.

Even if he is the legitimate son of the Yang family and the emperor's special envoy, how can the other party risk offending all the ministries to help him on such a major matter before the dust has settled?

Raising his head, Yang Hong happened to meet the Emperor's eyes full of meaning, so Yang Hong immediately knelt down on the ground and said.

"Your Majesty, I am reckless and good at making decisions. I apologize to Your Majesty on my behalf!"

The atmosphere in the palace was heavy and depressing.

Yang Hong was also in a state of confusion. He had some vague guesses in his mind, but he did not dare to say them out.

If this matter is not revealed, there is still room for change. If it is revealed, everything will be over.

It wasn't until the emperor's voice sounded after a while that Yang Hong finally felt a little calmer.

"On this matter, Yang Jie mentioned to me before going to Beijing that if the grassland tribes really intend to annex, it is not impossible to suspend the burning of wasteland."

"Although Yang Jie's move is a bit reckless, the situation in the grassland is chaotic and it is not impossible to adapt to the situation."

"Now that Yang Jie is still in the grassland, in order to protect his life, I will issue a secret order and order someone to send him there to agree to the surrender of the Tumote tribe."

These words are both a favor and a reminder.

Although the emperor said that Yang Jie had reported this matter before, if you think about it carefully, you can find the loopholes in it.

You must know that Yang Jie's original goal when he went here was only Agador Ji. He instigated the various Tatar tribes to attack each other. This was a temporary change of mind after arriving in the grassland.

If he did not receive a secret summons during this period, then the emperor's words now are obviously somewhat inconsistent.

Moreover, Yang Hong was not a fool. When the matter of the Tumote tribe was mentioned, he naturally thought of Yang Jie's incitement to Agadoerji and other Tatar tribes.

As the saying goes, anyone who can become a tribe leader is not a fool.

Yang Jie was able to convince them not only by relying on his own identity, but also by showing some "certificates" that could convince them!

By the same token, since it is a temporary decision, where does this ‘voucher’ come from?

Yang Hong knew the answer well, and presumably the emperor also knew it well.

After thinking this, Yang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time understood the seriousness of the matter, he kowtowed to the ground again, Yang Hong said.

“Your Majesty’s heavenly kindness will never be repaid by my own death!”

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu also sighed and said.

"Don't be too happy, Marquis Yang. I can issue this secret decree, but in the end, whether the Tumote tribe can surrender or not must be decided by the court."

"If it fails to pass the court meeting..."

"I understand!"

Be obedient, Yang Hong is not an ignorant person.

He knew very well that if what he guessed was true, then what Yang Jie had done on the grassland was enough to confiscate the Yang family and exterminate them.

However, the emperor didn't care about it and was willing to turn lies into reality and try his best to ensure Yang Jie's safety. This is already a great sign of emperor's favor.

If you continue to expect the emperor to go against the ministers of the court, you are not knowing what is good and what is evil.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Regardless of whether the Tumote tribe can surrender or not, everyone in the Yang family will do their best for your Majesty. We will only obey your Majesty's orders!"

After hearing this, the emperor's expression was a little complicated, and after a moment, he said.

"Let's not mention this matter for now. In addition to this matter, Yang Jie also asked me for a second will."

"The situation in Wala is complicated now. Yang Jie should know this very well. Therefore, he hopes that I can give him another order to act cheaply."

After the words fell, Yang Hong was stunned.

Immediately, he realized that Yang Jie must have other plans and did not put all his bets on Bodu.

only……

"This is also the reason why I kept Yang Hou!"

"To be fair, although Yang Jie went here a little recklessly, what he did exceeded my expectations. For Ming Dynasty, his merits outweighed his faults."

"Now he is trapped in Oala, facing dangers every step of the way, and his life is always in danger. Although he has his own plans, he is the only legitimate son of the Yang family after all. If something goes wrong, I will be uneasy."

"So, if this decree cannot be made, I will ask Marquis Yang what you think."

Facing the emperor's gaze, Yang Hong fell silent.
