Emperor Wanli did not summon Nurhachi immediately, but deliberately stayed a day to have someone bring news to Nurhaci, asking him to go to the Meridian Gate to see him tomorrow morning.
Everyone guessed that Nurhachi would take advantage of the curfew to go to the temple to check. If he didn't go there for one night, he would always go there for two nights.
Ji Xiang asked Lao Zhang for the magic of using firearms to succumb to demons.
"There are still a few days left. I will first tell my senior brother the incantation of the Beidou Great God Curse. After my affairs here are over, I will tell my senior brother in detail in person. Although firearm magic is a new method in the contemporary era, there are many mysteries in it.
"
When Lao Zhang talked about this, he burst into laughter. Apparently, he enjoyed learning the magic of using firearms to subdue demons. When asked about the progress of the little fox's practice, Ji Xiang smiled:
"Copy the Golden Light Mantra two hundred and fifty times a day."
Lao Zhang was immediately very happy: "Very good, very good! Only a strict teacher can produce a great disciple! Xiao Shi, this is your opportunity, don't slack off, and copy carefully!"
"嘤嘤."
Only the little fox's injured world is completed, but this is also what every student should do.
........
Emperor Wanli received news from Nurhachi and inquired about the temple.
However, something strange happened.
Nurhaci went to the court to pay tribute as usual, and also went in and out of the Ministry of Rites during the day. He was mostly seen by others and did not hide his whereabouts. At night, according to the information obtained through surveillance, he basically never left the house.
On the night of the fourth day, Emperor Wanli made an excuse, saying that he was searching for monsters and conducting inspections. After Beizhen Fusi showed his driving certificate, the officials from the Ministry of Rites, who shouted about violating human rights, became mute in an instant.
But Nurhachi was still in his guild hall, and he only woke up when Beizhen Fusi entered the guild hall.
Everything was as usual, and his brother Shuerhaqi was also there. Out of worry, he counted the number of people again, but the result was correct.
This situation made Emperor Wanli scratch his head strangely.
"Is this guy not rebellious? Is it because I made a mistake?"
"No, no, no, someone like An Lushan who has no biological father will never be as loyal as he seems on the surface."
"Is this guy really frightened by the news that Li Chengliang is going back to Liaodong?"
Emperor Wanli couldn't figure out what this guy was doing. There had been no movement for four days. Could it be that he was still waiting?
Nurhachi made no movement, but Shuerhaqi quietly found the eunuch in the palace before leaving and said he had news to tell Emperor Wanli.
"My slave Shuerhaqi has met the Ming Emperor. Long live my emperor!"
Shuerhaqi seized the opportunity and found a way to meet Emperor Wanli. Of course, he was also surprised. Unexpectedly, Emperor Wanli summoned him directly and gave him the opportunity to meet directly.
This was only the second time he met Emperor Wanli, but at this time, Shuerhaqi discovered that compared to the last time, Emperor Wanli's energy was obviously much better, his waist was not bent, his back was straight, and he had more in his hands.
A sword that looks quite majestic.
Shuerhaqi couldn't help but murmur in his heart, this Ming emperor is pretending to be holding a sword, has he ever mounted a horse and killed an enemy?
Fill a cup?
Forget it, you are the emperor, as long as you like it.
"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, this slave is here because..."
"Is it because Nurhaci wants to rebel?"
"Yes...ah, no, no!?"
Shuerhaqi was startled, his tongue curled up, and he explained: "I haven't betrayed yet, no, no, no, I can't say betrayal, it's just that I have some thoughts."
Emperor Wanli looked at him: "What benefit do you want from me? For your brother's thoughts, you came here to see me. Tell me, I like to get straight to the point and don't like to beat around the bush."
"Also, if the information you give is useful, I will reward you with the title of Commander of the Jianzhou Right Guards."
Shuerhaqi was stunned on the spot.
Happiness came too suddenly and too directly. Although he wanted to come here to express his sincerity in order to be a lackey of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli spoke so frankly... he couldn't stand it.
Does it turn out that the emperor likes things to be more direct?
It’s that simple and crude!
The Jianzhou Right Guard currently has no leader and has declined. It is under the command of the Left Guard. This is mainly because the position of the Right Guard commander was seized by someone and he rebelled. As a result, he was beaten by Li Chengliang until he almost disintegrated. However,
The right-back formation has not been canceled yet.
Shuerhaqi was overjoyed. The opportunity to compete with his eldest brother had just arrived!
At that moment, he told Emperor Wanli all the story of Nurhachi's "sweet dream", and he accurately said the word "Lishanhe"!
Emperor Wanli was pleasantly surprised on the spot!
You did a good job, you stabbed me in the back well, you reported it well! You killed your relatives out of justice, your elder brother is really nothing!
Shuerhaqi also didn't expect that the three words Lishanhe would have such a big impact on Emperor Wanli. He couldn't help but wonder in his mind. It seemed that the Ming Emperor really knew about Lishanhe, and it seemed that there were festivals?
Then this is great. The eldest brother has taken refuge in Lishanhe, and he has taken refuge in Ming Dynasty. Doesn’t this mean that his status is stable?
From now on, I, Shuerhaqi, no longer have to work with my eldest brother. I rely on the country when I go out. As long as my eldest brother is slaughtered this time, I will be the successor as General Dragon and Tiger!
"But it's a bit rash to arrest someone based on a dream... If he denies it and says it's just nonsense, I don't have any good solution. After all, when we arrest someone, we need evidence."
"Your Majesty, evidence can be created, it's unnecessary..."
"Bold! Am I the kind of fool who would convict people for nothing?"
Emperor Wanli claps his sword and rises!
Don’t mention any operations related to the Song Dynasty to me! Especially unfounded ones!
Shuerhaqi knelt down and kowtowed. Emperor Wanli waved his hand: "Go ahead and keep an eye on your elder brother. I will find a way for someone to convey the news to you. If he makes any small move, report it to me immediately!"
That's what it says....
However.
This wait lasted until the fifth day.
Nurhaci did take action on this day, but he wrote a letter stating that he wanted to send troops to support the Korean battlefield and hoped that the Ming Dynasty would approve it. This matter had just come out, and within an hour, Lao Liang, the Korean envoy of the Ministry of Rites, cried to the sky
The one who shouted for the earth came to the Forbidden City.
He said, "Your Majesty, you can't do this. By recruiting the Tatars to kill the Japanese, you are adding another Japanese. When the small countries hear about it, they will be extremely frightened. How can you agree to this?"
To put it bluntly, the Jurchens have no military discipline. Although they are powerful in fighting, they just rob after fighting, which is no different from Japanese pirates.
Nurhaci didn't care about the rejection of his request to participate in the war, and seemed to have just fallen silent. He was still in and out of the Ministry of Rites as usual, and was often seen by everyone.
