Ryukyu was a vassal that was extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Since they recognized the Ming Dynasty as their superior state, their attitude was so submissive that they could not directly let the Ming Dynasty set up counties in their territory.
What really made Zhu Yunxi's eyes light up and even make him excited was the Libala bought by Tatar Radical.
Buy Libala was born in the 22nd year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, and he is still in his mid-thirties now. The biggest difference between this man and the other great khan leaders of the grassland tribes is that he has the most noble status.
He is the grandson of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty and the only legitimate son of Emperor Zhaozong of the Yuan Dynasty. It can be said that he is the successor to the throne of the Yuan Empire and Miao Hong.
However, his lady’s life and maid’s body are at stake.
In the third year of Hongwu, Li Wenzhong led his army to attack Yingchang (a place in present-day Inner Mongolia) and captured him.
After being escorted to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the old man treated him with courtesy and was granted the title of Marquis of Chongli. His daily life was no different from that of a member of the royal family, which was extremely generous.
In the seventh year of Hongwu's reign, the old man said to Li Bala, who bought him, that you are a good boy and he is more submissive to us. Now that your father is dead, there are no heirs to take the throne. Now I will let you go back to the grassland to inherit the throne. After you go back, think about it carefully.
Think about how Daming treated you, and our families will be friendly from now on.
Just like that, the Libala I bought returned to Beiyuan.
However, after the death of his father, Yuan Zhaozong, no son came to the throne, and he himself was captured in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, so the Beiyuan Emperor was succeeded by his uncle Tuosi Timur.
Once power falls into the hands of others, there is no way to take it back. Libala, who bought it, could only endure it for the time being, command one of the Tatars, and stationed himself in the Baikal area to recharge his batteries.
Tuosi Timur, who succeeded his father as emperor, was almost captured alive by Lan Yu and Wang Bi in the subsequent battle at Yuerhai. He only escaped with his eldest son Tianbaonu, and his second son blamed Lan Yu for capturing him alive.
After escaping, Tuosi Timur was killed by his subordinate Yesudiel, a descendant of Alibu Ge, who became independent.
Tuosi Timur's second son Dibaonu, who was captured by Lan Yu and taken to the capital, was directly exiled to Ryukyu because he complained during the Ming Dynasty.
At this point, the descendants of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, lost the supreme rule of the grassland. The Northern Yuan Dynasty existed in name only and was divided into three large tribes and hundreds of smaller tribes.
"He proposed marriage?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the memorial with an unknown smile on his face.
"Now there is a vacuum in the supreme power of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and all the ministries are unwilling to obey each other. This person may be thinking of using the power of the Ming Dynasty to achieve his own ambitions!"
"As the son-in-law of Ming Dynasty, I naturally have to ask for some dowry from Ming Dynasty!"
What later generations praised as the most distinctive thing about the Ming Dynasty was that unlike the Han and Tang dynasties, it never made peace. In fact, in Zhu Yunxi's view, making peace was not simply about exchanging women for peace.
Besides, how can women buy peace? Peace must be fought for.
At that moment, he looked at the memorial again and said, "It is said that Liu Sanwu, Xu Huizu, Li Yuanming, the Minister of Rites, and others are here!"
After a while, several ministers entered the palace.
"I'm going to pay homage to His Royal Highness, the Emperor's Grandson!"
As Zhu Yunxi's power grew stronger, the etiquette of these courtiers became more solemn.
"Get up and give them a seat!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "I came to see you for such a thing!" He held up the tea cup and said with a smile, "Honglu Temple sent me a book, and the noble Beiyuan bought it.
Bala, wants to make peace with our Ming Dynasty!"
"Huh?" The ministers were stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the civilian officials looked happy, while Xu Huizu and other military officials frowned.
"Your Highness, this is a good thing!" Liu Sanwu said with a smile, "The Ribala I bought was educated by the Han family in the capital when I was young. Your Majesty was so kind to me, and I already have some kind of affinity with the Ming Dynasty. Now I have written a letter to reconcile, which is even better.
Best of all. If it can really be done, it would be beneficial to the country to have an extra barrier for the imperial court outside of Mobei!"
Zhu Yunxi did not express his position, but looked towards Wu Chen, "What do you think?"
Xu Huizu said with a straight face, "I think what Liu Xueshi said is wrong. Back then, he was captured by us. He was friendly at that time, but he was just being careful about his life when he was under the fence. If not, what would he have done these years?
In the grassland, why don't you surrender and pay tribute?"
"Furthermore, why is he planning to get married now? I estimate that he just wants to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty to strengthen himself!"
Liu Sanwu smiled and said, "I also know what Wei Guogong said. He bought Ribala to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty, but in turn, we, the Ming Dynasty, can also manipulate him!" He said, laughing, "Now the Northern Yuan Dynasty exists in name only.
But there are still millions of people in charge of each department, and they are the great enemies of the country. If he wants to make friends, he must be used by the Ming Dynasty."
"The peacemaker is just an exchange of covenant benefits!" Liu Sanwu continued to laugh, "Moreover, if the Ming Dynasty makes peace with it, other tribes in the Northern Yuan Dynasty will follow suit. By then, the Ming Dynasty will be the leader of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it is right and proper that the leader of the Ming Dynasty will also be the Khan of the Grassland.
.This is what war can achieve!"
What he said is that they are traditional political methods. Divide and transform, win over and suppress, support the weak, and unite vertically and horizontally. These tricks that the sages of the past generations have played with have been used repeatedly to deal with the grassland peoples.
At this time, among the military ministers, the former military governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the old man's adopted son, Daping Pingping, said in a low voice, "I and other military ministers don't understand these things. However, I think that we can't mess with each other casually! We are not the Ming Dynasty.
If you don’t have a man, just fight him. Why let a woman get married and eat sand there? Peace in the world can only be achieved by weapons. You can do whatever you want with women, huh, it’s a scholar’s opinion!”
"Besides, they have been chased by us over the years. What are the qualifications for the defeat of the army? If he really wants to be a relative, why not lead the tribe to us, and be a son -in -law?"
Liu Sanwu was slapped hard and his face was ashen.
Zhu Yunxi felt funny in his heart. The idea of peace was the idea of most upright military men. In fact, in his heart, he was not in favor of marriage. But such a major military matter must be discussed.
"Gong Cao Guo, what do you think? Tell me?" Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong among the military officials and asked.
"Xueshi Liu is right!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "Marriage, the two families are so good, why not do it? I bought Libala with the intention of taking advantage of our Ming Dynasty and pulling our Ming Dynasty's tiger flag. We, the Ming Dynasty,
I also had the idea of getting him together and trying to figure him out, and they hit it off immediately!"
"It is much more cost-effective to support him and let him fight with other people who are dissatisfied with Ming Dynasty than it is for us Ming Dynasty to go on an expedition on our own! When they fight, we Ming Dynasty watch from the side and try to offend each other. Anyway, let them keep dog biting dog.
!”
After hearing this, the civil servants were fine, but the military generals suddenly changed their expressions.
Ping An said angrily, "Thankfully you are still a military minister, you don't look like a military general at all!"
"Don't be impatient!" Li Jinglong smiled and continued, "However, what Wei Guogong and Governor Heping said are reasonable. How can we marry a woman from the Ming Dynasty if he says so? So I feel that if we want to get married...
The Ribala I bought sent a letter to the Ming Dynasty to submit to the Celestial Empire and to herd horses outside the Great Wall for the Celestial Empire. How about a second time!"
As he said that, he smiled and said, "If he wants to get married, we can't really give him a princess or princess. I can just find some old maids in the palace and marry them with a name."
Got it!"
"What he wants is the title of Ming Dynasty's son-in-law. Even if Ming Dynasty gives him a nanny, he still has to accept it!"
"What Mr. Cao Guo said is absolutely true!" Liu Sanwu continued to smile, "However, the marriage is very important, and the Libala I bought is the legitimate son of Emperor Zhaozong of the Yuan Dynasty and the heir of Sheji of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, I think it is better to reply to this letter.
Let them send someone to Beijing to discuss it in detail!"
The detailed discussion is just for both parties to decide what they want.
At this moment, a startling voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
It was the old man, shouting, "Drive!"
Zhu Yunxi stood up and walked outside the palace. He saw the old man holding a small stick in his hand, and a eunuch lying on the ground dragging Liu Jin and Xiao Fu'er, moving forward slowly, as if riding a horse.
"Drive!" the old man smiled and scolded the eunuch, "You are our great-grandson and my little girl's horse now. Start running. But you must run steadily. If you dare to upset our two hearts, I will skin you!"
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yunxi couldn't laugh or cry.
"Grandpa Huang!" he shouted at the door.
The old man used a small stick to hit the eunuch's ankle, "Hurry up!" He said, smiling at Zhu Yunxi, "You are busy with your business!"
"drive!"
Liu Jin and Xiao Fu'er also imitated the old man's tone and ordered the eunuchs riding below them.
One of them pulled the eunuch's hair, the other grabbed the eunuch's back, laughing and having fun.
"Drive!" Liu Jinbao shouted in a milky voice.
"Lulu, lulu!" the eunuch who was being ridden imitated the cry of a horse, "little ancestors, sit tight, this horse is going to run away!"
"Be careful!" the old man shouted from behind.
Zhu Yunxi and his ministers stood at the door and watched, as if watching a play.
The old man was in front, and the two were riding a eunuch. Behind them were a group of horses that could be changed at any time.
But at this moment, among the civil servants, Fang Xiaoru came out excitedly and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
The old man turned around in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Fang Xiaoru said loudly, "A eunuch and a slave are not human beings? What your Majesty has done is not a human master!"
Zhu Yunxi really wanted to go over and cover his mouth. The old man was very good at playing with his children. Why did you jump out and mess with him?
