Zhu Qizhen ordered someone to get the map and said, "You can choose a location by yourself."
Tuotuo Buhua was overjoyed and pointed at the Onan River and said: "My ancestors raised troops from the Onan River..."
"It doesn't work here, find another place!"
Zhu Qizhen understood what he meant and interrupted him directly.
The Onan River has been given to the three guards of Duoyan. If you go back now, where will the three guards of Duoyan go?
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua suddenly felt unhappy and secretly worried.
In his mind, the Han people have always been cunning, but he didn't expect to go so far. They wanted to default on the bill before the battle was over?
Zhu Qizhen saw what he was thinking and said: "I asked you to change to another place, but I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. Mobei is so big, do you have to stare at the Onan River?"
Tuotuo Buhua scratched his head and said: "The ancestral graves of our Golden Family are still in the Onan River..."
Zhu Qizhen suddenly laughed and asked: "Where are the tombs of your ancestors hidden? Can you still find them?"
Whether it is Genghis Khan or the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty later, their tombs are very special. The biggest feature is... they can't be found!
There was a separate process for the burial of the Mongolian emperor, which focused on randomization.
I just found a random place on the grassland and buried it. Afterwards, thousands of horses galloped and trampled the tomb flat. There was no map, no coordinates, and no reference. When the grass grew up next year, it would be completely impossible to tell the difference.
Such a mausoleum is very secretive. Not to mention tomb robbers, even the entourage who went to the burial could only look back and sigh.
When later generations offered sacrifices, they used a special method, which was to take a mare and a young horse with them when the emperor was buried, and then kill the young horse in front of the mother.
The next year, he took the mare to the grassland. The old horse knew the way. The mare would cry when she saw the place where her child died. This place was recognized as the mausoleum. After the sacrifice, all traces were cleared away again.
However, it has been five years since the Tatars left Mobei, and the mare they left behind has long since disappeared. Even if they wanted to offer sacrifices, they could not find the tomb of their predecessors.
Tuotuo Buhua thought about it for a long time, then he casually moved around Mobei and said, "All of these places are fine."
Zhu Qizhen shook his head again and said, "Not even here."
"Why?"
"This is my territory. We have set up guard posts and yamen, and have settled the people. What's the matter with you suddenly coming here?"
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua finally changed her face, is she really going to default on her debt?
I thought that there was no lower limit for those who were officials, but I didn’t expect that you, the great emperor of tomorrow, would also engage in the practice of killing donkeys and killing people?
"Your Majesty, you promised it yourself!"
"I promised you, but I didn't say I would support you. If you want to survive, you have to fight for it yourself."
Tuotuo Buhua was completely confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
Zhu Qizhen's finger slowly crossed the map until he left the territory of the Ming Dynasty and continued to the northwest...
Tuotuo Buhua's expression tightened, and his eyes moved accordingly.
Finally, it stopped in the Yenisey River Basin northwest of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is... Wala's territory?"
Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said: "To be precise, it is Wala's territory now."
When it comes to this matter, Tuo Tuo Hua is still unclear about what is going on.
There is no free beef jerky in the world. If you want to occupy a place of survival, you have to fight it yourself. Kill Oara, and this place will belong to the Tatars.
He thought for a long time and said: "My tribe has less than two thousand people who can fight. The Wala tribe..."
"You don't need to worry about these. Whether you need men, weapons, equipment, or logistics supplies, I will satisfy you!"
Tuotuo Buhua was immediately overjoyed and said: "With the help of the emperor, we are just a bunch of chickens and dogs!"
"I can't divide our troops yet, so you need to slow down your affairs."
"Just ask your Majesty to give you orders. I will first help your Majesty suppress the rebellion. Otherwise, how can I have the nerve to ask for troops, horses, and equipment?"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "You are a smart man. I won't say anything more. When I return to the capital, I will fulfill my promise to you!"
Tuotuo Buhua stroked his palms and saluted: "I obey the decree!"
"All the ministers under you are involved in the rebellion, but you, the minister, don't know anything about it?"
Yu Qian obviously didn't understand the seriousness of the matter and was stunned on the spot.
"Your Majesty, where do you start with these words?"
Zhu Qizhen knew that he had just returned from the north and had no knowledge of what happened in the court, so he told the whole story in detail.
Yu Qian originally thought that Tuo Tuo Bu Hua bribed the insiders in the DPRK, but he did not expect that it turned out that someone in the DPRK planned a coup, and the Tatar Ministry was just a knife.
The matter is far more serious than imagined. Tuotuo Buhua successfully entered Mobei. How could the real person behind the scenes not take action?
It seems that the capital is in danger!
What is even more infuriating is that the planner, or main planner, of this coup turned out to be the Minister of War.
And I, the Minister of War, had no prior knowledge!
"I cannot escape the blame for my sins, but now I can only fight to the death to repay the divine grace!"
Zhu Qizhen looked at him coldly, and finally sighed.
"We will deal with your problems later. Now I give you a task."
Yu Qian hurriedly replied: "Please give me your Majesty's orders!"
Zhu Qizhen pointed to the map and said: "After much thought, the person who can plan the coup must have a deep foundation in the court. Before I took charge, the court was headed by San Yang, and their disciples, children, relatives and friends
It has spread all over the court, and today's events are most likely inseparable from these people."
Yu Qian suddenly broke into a cold sweat. These three officials were veterans of five dynasties and were recognized as virtuous ministers by the world.
Moreover, Sanyang's influence was not only limited to the imperial court, but also a leader in the literary world.
The world praised Yang Shiqi for his scholarship, Yang Rong for his talents, and Yang Pu for his elegance. Almost all the good names in the world were occupied by these three people. How could they be associated with the word "rebellion"?
Zhu Qizhen continued: "Sanyang's foundation in the court is too deep. Before Emperor Taizong moved the capital, all the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River followed Sanyang. I am worried about these people."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yu Qian did not understand and murmured: "Three Masters Yang... It's impossible..."
Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked: "What's impossible?"
Yu Qian composed himself and said: "The three Mr. Yang have both good character and high moral character and respect..."
Zhu Qizhen sneered and asked again: "Have you forgotten how Yang Shiqi became an official?"
Yu Qian was stunned. Yang Shiqi had been in the cabinet for more than forty years and served as chief minister for twenty-one years after five dynasties. After the death of Emperor Xuanzong, Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne at the age of eight. All major affairs in the court were presided over by San Yang. Such a situation.
An important official of the famous country, he finally invited himself to serve and returned to his hometown because of the murder of his son Yang Ji. He died in depression from then on.
"Your Majesty, the main reason why Mr. Yang resigned was because he was criticized by Wang Zhenyi's party..."
"If his son didn't kill anyone, why would Wang Zhen attack him?"
Yu Qian was silent. Yes, in the final analysis, the fault of this matter lies with the Yang family.
In the seventh year of Zhengtong, the Empress Dowager Zhang died, and Wang Zhen was in sole control of the court. All officials who were dissatisfied were arrested, and everyone in the court was in danger. Only Yang Shiqi could stand up to him.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji was arrogant and bullied men and women in his hometown, and even caused death.
Subsequently, the imperial censor impeached him, and the case was brought to the capital. In the face of irrefutable evidence, Yang Shiqi had to admit that his upbringing was lax and resigned due to his old illness.
After Yang Ji was executed according to the law, Yang Shiqi became even more depressed and left soon.
From then on, Wang Zhen became even more powerful, suppressing the other two Yangs in one fell swoop, even causing cholera in government affairs, and was finally killed by the emperor in Tumubao.
At that time, everyone knew that it was Wang Zhen's idea to impeach Yang Shiqi. He just wanted to catch Yang Shiqi's son killing people and put him to death.
However, the emperor is right, you will only be caught if you have evidence.
If you take good care of your family and don't do anything illegal or disciplined, others won't be able to criticize you.
Zhu Qizhen thought thoughtfully and said: "I was just fifteen years old at that time, and the Yang Ji case was the first major case I personally dealt with. Do you know what the Yang Qing family did?"
Yu Qian said in confusion: "After this case happened, Mr. Yang blamed himself very much and thought that he had been lax in discipline, so he resigned."
"What you see and hear are just appearances."
Zhu Qizhen suddenly sneered and said: "Yang Ji beat the man to death, and the victim went to file a complaint. Little did he know that the Yang family had dealt with all the local prefecture and county yamen, and the case was suppressed."
A big question mark appeared on Yu Qian's face. Why was what the emperor said different from what he knew?
"I dare to say that the Yang family bribed the government in private, and Master Yang probably didn't know about it..."
"You're wrong again!"
Zhu Qizhen said calmly: "The local government suppressed the case after receiving a note from Yang Shiqi, the dignified chief minister of the cabinet. The victim had no way to sue. If it weren't for Jin Yiwei's secret report, this case would never have come to light.
.”
The more Yu Qian listened, the more shocked he became.
It turns out that the original impeachment of the censor was not Wang Zhen’s idea, but the emperor’s personal instruction!
Under those circumstances, one was a young emperor who was about to take office, and the other was a powerful veteran of the Five Dynasties. The first confrontation between the two was a matter of life and death!
Everyone knows that in the early years of Zhengtong, Sanyang relied on Sanyang to rule the world. Although Wang Zhenzhi and others caused trouble in the court, the world was finally handed over to the emperor smoothly.
However, the truth of the matter is how cruel the transfer of power is!
For the current Zhu Qizhen, what happened fourteen years ago can be described very aptly in one word, as if it was like a lifetime ago.
He used to be very dissatisfied with his predecessor and did not want to mention the bullshit things in his memory. It was not until this coup that he re-examined the world.
I originally thought that as long as I worked hard for development, I could change the world, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated the horror of human nature.
Over the past few days, he had been thinking carefully, and gradually sorted out the context of the whole thing from his past life bit by bit.
"I'm telling you these things just to let you know that things in the court are far from as simple as you think. Not everyone is as selfless as you. Over the years, when I introduced new policies, the reaction of the gentry in Jiangnan was the most
Strong, do you know why?"
Yu Qian thought for a while and replied: "Probably because the New Deal has affected their interests."
"Yes, whether it is dividing people into acres, canceling household registration, or opening up sea trade, it has a huge impact on the traditional gentry class. If they want to guard their land and become landowners like before, it is almost impossible.
.”
"What the emperor does is beneficial to the country and the people, and it is not aimed at those gentry or aristocratic families..."
"I am targeting them!"
Zhu Qizhen said in a very strong tone: "Do they have any privileges? I am the emperor, why do I have to spoil a group of gentry?"
"When Emperor Taizu founded the country, he issued an order to treat scholars favorably..."
"Isn't that enough preferential treatment?"
Zhu Qizhen didn't finish Qian's words at all, and said sternly: "In the past hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how serious has the land annexation become? How did the common people's land get into the hands of the gentry? Why do refugees appear everywhere in the world from time to time?"
Facing a series of questions, Yu Qian remained silent.
He is also a member of the gentry class himself, but what these people do, especially the way they treat the common people, is really disgusting.
Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.
Why scholars are superior to others? On the surface, it is because scholars have noble moral character. In fact, it is because studying can lead to an official career.
In this world, if you have power, you can do whatever you want.
For example, if Yang Ji beat someone to death in his hometown, the government would not dare to take care of it because of Yang Shiqi's status. As for the person who was beaten to death, you can only count yourself unlucky.
If it hadn't been for the Emperor's personal intervention, I'm afraid this case would have fallen into obscurity long ago.
Talking about being honest and upright, and talking about making decisions for the people are all nonsense!
Zhu Qizhen continued: "When I opened the sea, the most vocal opposition was from the Jiangnan gentry. Each of them said that the sea ban was an ancestral system, but they were engaged in smuggling business behind the scenes. Do you think they should die?"
Yu Qian lowered his head and replied: "Damn it!"
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "I have always believed that to govern the world, one must have both ability and political integrity, and cannot rely too much on prison. I often arrest people in prisons and torture them severely, so that all officials are in panic all day long. Now it seems that I still
Too kind!"
Yu Qian has understood that after this coup, the emperor will never trust anyone again.
The capital, and even the whole world, will soon be filled with blood.
"Wala Sangchi is not something to be afraid of. There is no need for three troops at all. I have issued an imperial edict for you to bring to Marquis Julu, ordering him to lead the Mohe Guards from Liaodong into the sea, land at Tianjin Guards, and then go straight to the capital to clear out
Rebel!"
Yu Qian saluted and said: "I and Marquis Julu will set off immediately!"
Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and said, "I'm talking about Julu Hou."
Yu Qian asked doubtfully: "I...won't you go?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "Select a few capable people from Mohewei and go to Jiaozhi by sea."
Yu Qian was still puzzled and said: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "I have sent an order to the King of Yin, the King of Jing'an County, and the Duke of Guizhou to gather troops and horses to take over the military, defense and civil affairs along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and to investigate all the gentry officials. As long as they are found to be related to this coup,
No need to report, I will immediately kill you without mercy!"
Yu Qian looked stern and saluted: "I obey the order!"
