One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty One No Postponement
News of the sacrifice continued to spread, and to everyone's surprise, the people not only had no objection to it, but were eager to try it.
All the reasons are that the people have been fighting hard for a long time.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, more than 30 years ago, there have been more than ten formal conquests on the grassland. On average, an expedition was carried out every three years. Although the Ming Dynasty adopted recuperation and recuperation for the people and the taxes were not heavy, the conquests
People always die in the grassland, right? After so many years, the people are also tired. Now that they see that the emperor intends to ease the relationship with the grassland, they are naturally relieved. How can they object?
The process of imperial sacrifices was extremely complicated. Han Du could not complete the sacrifice by dismantling a few chariots on the banks of the Onan River, building a simple desk, and preparing an ox and a sheep.
The sixth day of April is an auspicious day.
With careful preparation by the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Biao offered sacrifices at the Eastern Suburbs Sacrifice Hall today.
The various rituals of sacrifice are extremely complicated. From early in the morning, Zhu Biao, under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, completed the ritual process step by step according to when to do what and when to go.
But soon the sacrifice came to a critical moment, which was the question of how Zhu Biao, as an emperor, could worship Genghis Khan.
Chen Di, the Minister of Rites, believed that "the emperor is the Son of Heaven and has the same status as Genghis Khan. Even if he is offering sacrifices, he only needs to stand up and pay homage."
In other words, in Chen Di's view, Zhu Biao and Genghis Khan were both emperors. The two emperors had equal status and did not need to be too polite. It was enough to stand and greet them.
But Zhu Biao didn't think so, "Genghis Khan was a heroic and mighty lord who was not comparable to ordinary emperors. I should kneel three times and kowtow nine times."
Zhu Biao believed that Genghis Khan was an unparalleled emperor in history and worthy of the special courtesy of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.
Naturally, this move was opposed by many ministers, but in the end, Zhu Biao's opinion prevailed and he knelt three times and kowtowed to Genghis Khan.
This time, when the Ming Dynasty won a great victory against the Tatars in the Northern Expedition, prisoners were originally supposed to be sacrificed in front of the emperor. However, in order to show the sincerity of the sacrifice, this part of the sacrifice was canceled, and these Mongolian people were also allowed to participate in the sacrifice.
Zhu Biao knelt on the circular hill and recited the sacrificial inscription in person: "The emperor and God gave him bravery to rise up on the grassland, unify the world, open up territories and expand the territory. Let's not talk about the previous generations. I admire their legacy and will not stick to the rules."
The Mongolian people who participated in the sacrifice were also moved after witnessing the Ming Emperor's three kneels and nine kowtows. Those who became prisoners of the Mongolian Yuan people also shed tears of gratitude after Zhu Biao offered sacrifices to Genghis Khan.
The king of Wala, Ugeqi Hashiha, even knelt down and knelt down in tears, shouting "Khan of Heaven!"
along with
The voice of Oara King Ugeqi Hashiha was followed and echoed by all the Meng Yuan people present.
"God Khan!"
"God Khan!"
"God Khan!"
Waves of shouts shook the world and made the blood in everyone's chests begin to boil.
Even Chen Di was dumbfounded when the title "Tian Khan" came out. He never thought that someone would call out the title "Tian Khan" at this time, and the person who shouted this was King Wala.
King Ugeqi Hashiha of Oara was of orthodox bloodline in the former Yuan Dynasty. He recognized Zhu Biao's title of "Khan of Heaven". Doesn't that mean that
When Chen Di thought of this, he immediately trembled all over, as if he was shaking.
"emperor"
Zhu Biao had finished the sacrifice at this time, and turned back to look at the Mengyuan people who were shouting "Khan". Seeing Chen Di's excited expression and wanting to say something, he waved his hand to stop him.
He raised his hand and pressed it slightly to silence the Mongolian people who were shouting "Khan".
He said in a deep voice, "I have only been on the throne for less than two years. I have done nothing for the Ming Dynasty and have made no achievements for the people of the world. How can I be worthy of the title of 'Khan of Heaven'? This matter will be dropped here and will not be mentioned again."
When the ministers saw Zhu Biao's refusal, how could they be willing to accept it? What a good time it is now? If Zhu Biao could really be legitimately given the title of "Khan of Heaven", then they would also follow suit and leave their name in history!
However, no matter how the ministers and Meng Yuan people tried to persuade him, Zhu Biao refused.
After the sacrifice is over, the next step is to discuss merit and reward.
First of all, it was Han Du. Han Du made the greatest contribution this time, so he was naturally named the Duke of the State, titled the Duke of the Town, and was given a salary of three thousand dan.
Xu Chengfei was also granted a title. Although he was not granted a public title, he was also granted an additional title of 1,200 shi, a salary, and two sons.
Everyone else is rewarded.
Next is the three guards of Wuliangha. Although the three Wuliangha guards did not obey Handu's orders at first, they later contributed a lot in the attack on Tatar and Oara.
Therefore, the imperial court rewarded him with property. He also recruited and awarded official positions from the three Uliangha cavalry guards, allowing them to join the court as officials and assist the Ming Dynasty in training cavalry.
Those who made great contributions were even directly rewarded with a pasture of a guard station on the grassland, and were named a guard commander like Azashi and others.
The prosperous Ming Dynasty dazzled them the moment the Uuliangha cavalry entered the city. If it were before the Ming Emperor offered sacrifices, they might have been worried that the Ming Dynasty would not treat them sincerely. But after the Ming Emperor offered sacrifices, they were worried about the Ming Dynasty.
His goodwill increased instantly, and he gradually began to trust the Ming Emperor.
Now that they were not only granted official status by the Ming Dynasty, but also had the opportunity to become officials in the court, some people who were greedy for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty were naturally willing to stay in the capital.
And those Mengyuan people who were named the commanders of the First Guard also thought about taking their families to their own guard posts after returning. After all, there was a pasture where they could make their own decisions, which was better than staying in Wuliangha.
powerful.
As a result, Azashili and others suddenly discovered that most of their remaining 60,000 cavalry had been reduced in just a few days. The three of them combined had less than 25,000 cavalry left, and the rest
They all took refuge in the Ming Dynasty.
"Handu! Daming!"
Azashi's eyes were red and he punched the table with his fist. Blood began to ooze from the edge of his palm, but he didn't notice it at all. How could the pain in his hand be compared to what he was feeling in his heart now? He was feeling gurgling in his heart right now.
Blood.
If he had known this, he should not have listened to Han Du's lies from the beginning and led his army to follow him on the expedition.
Yes, on the surface it seems that the Ming Dynasty did not treat him badly. Instead of rewarding him based on his merits, he was given the title of Marquis of Taining. Haisa Nan Daxi and Haisa Nan Daxi also conferred the title of uncle, and the rewards were not generous.
But the Ming Dynasty took a step back and directly took away tens of thousands of his cavalry. If they included their families, it would be at least more than 100,000, which can be said to be a heavy loss. .??.
However, Daming did not use force in this matter. Everything was done as his people wanted, and he could not even blame Daming explicitly for this matter.
Haisa Nan Daxi has always been known for his resourcefulness, but when faced with this matter, he had nothing to say.
There is no way, this is a conspiracy!
Fortunately, the only thing that made Azashili feel better was that after his repeated pleas, the Ming Emperor finally agreed to open a mutual trade at the border, allowing his tribe to exchange salt, iron, grain and other supplies with the Ming Dynasty.
Azashi and the other three left with the remaining cavalry and the Ming Dynasty's generous rewards. But what they didn't know was that opening up the mutual market would be a bigger and deeper sinkhole than if their tribesmen had become officials in the dynasty!
Han Du was granted the title of feudal lord, and his long-held wish finally came true.
After becoming one of the top three princes of the Ming Dynasty, Han Du's desire to eat and wait for death broke out in an unstoppable manner.
He didn't even go to court in the morning, he hid in his house and slept until about three o'clock in the morning.
The sunshine in early summer is full of vitality, but not too bright.
Today, on a whim, Han Du called the three children over and called them to test their homework. Han Du was sitting under the tree, looking at the three of them. Han Kezhong was already eighteen years old, and he had already passed the scholar examination this year. Although He has not yet passed the examination for the title of Juren, but Han Du is not disappointed.
Although Han Du had already passed the Juren exam when he was his age. But Han Du knew that to be a Juren requires not only sufficient knowledge, but also a little bit of luck. Han Du was not disappointed that his son did not pass the Juren exam. I.Q. This thing appears completely randomly. You cannot say that you are smart just because your son must be smarter than you. There is no such reason in the world.
Han Yingluo is already thirteen years old. Although she is a girl, the government has hired a teacher to teach her carefully. Although she does not have to take the exam to obtain a meritorious title, Han Du will not relax at all about her homework.
Han Du is very aware of the importance of reading to a person. Even if a woman has read and has not read, there is a huge difference. Who said that a woman must support her husband and teach her children, and learn to be popular?
Unfortunately, Han Du was quite disappointed that his precious daughter not only didn't like female celebrities, but also didn't like reading. Instead, she was very interested in dancing with swords and guns. She had been hacking around with a small wooden knife since she was a child. The flowers and plants in the house were in bad shape. Either the flowers were cut down all over the floor, or the branches were split and were in ruins.
Now it's even worse. They use real knives and guns all day long to either threaten someone or beat someone else.
Even now that Han Du was pulling him over to test his knowledge, he was still biting his pen absentmindedly.
"Did I ask you to come here to bite the brush? Write quickly!"
Han Yingluo curled her lips and started writing unwillingly. Her handwriting was quite neat, but the questions she answered were hard to explain.
"Is this what you learned? You answered like this?" Han Du's voice rose an octave, making the three of them tremble. Han Yingluo, in particular, leaned back in fear, as if she might be ready at any moment.
The look of running away.
What makes Han Du worry the most is the youngest Han Fuli. This child is smart enough, hardworking, and able to draw inferences from one example, which is what Han Du wants the most.
An Qing was sitting in the pavilion, teasing a few small fish with fish food, while looking at Han Du and his son with a smile on his face. With his husband and children in front of him, this was the best scene for An Qing.
No matter how you watch it, you’ll never get tired of it!
