As soon as Yunxi walked into the side hall, he heard two voices saying in unison: "The criminal Mongolian Wara tribe is having fun/The Mongolian Asut tribe Arutai has met His Majesty the Ming Emperor, long live His Majesty!"
Yunxi didn't react at all when he heard their voices. After sitting on his seat, he stared at the two of them for a while, and then said in a cold voice: "You two claim to be guilty ministers, what's the matter?"
Guilt?"
Even though he was awesome at taking off sex, he was still young after all. Hearing Yunxi's question, he muttered in his heart: "Last night, your people turned us around and interrogated us more than ten times. Do you still know what is going on?"
what happened?'
He muttered a little too slowly and failed to answer in time. However, Arutai was born in the late Yuan Dynasty and had seen a lot of pretentiousness. When he heard Yunxi's question, he immediately kowtowed again and said: "The guilty minister
Yu Tuohuan led his troops into the Ming Dynasty without authorization, but refused to surrender after the Ming Dynasty soldiers discovered it, and did not surrender until he was surrounded by the Ming Dynasty soldiers. He committed these two major crimes."
"Since you know that your actions will commit these two major crimes, why do you dare to commit such crimes?" Fu An, who accompanied Yunxi to meet them, said sternly.
"Your Majesty, I was with Tuo Huan in pursuit of the ghost Lichi's troops. I was obsessed by the ghost, so I entered the land of the Ming Dynasty. I would like to ask your Majesty to avoid the death penalty for me. I would like to ask your Majesty to avoid the death penalty for me." Arutai
He kowtowed repeatedly and said. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually not sure whether he could survive. Although he had studied Yunxi's policies on the Mongolian grasslands in recent years and believed that they were mainly about appeasement, he ran into the Ming Dynasty.
He was also caught on the land. If Yunxi decided to establish his power, it would be normal to cut him down.
In order to survive, he could only behave as humbly as possible, and at the same time bring Tuohuan into every sentence, so that Yunxi would worry about the Wara tribe not to execute them. There was no reason to kill Tuohuan but let him go.
Seeing that Arutai was so humble, Tuohuan also reacted, kowtowed repeatedly and said the same begging words as him in Chinese that was not fluent in Chinese.
Yunxi glanced at them, and after a while, he said: "You two trespassed into the land of the Ming Dynasty and should have been executed, but I thought that you two had a respectful attitude and did not shirk your guilt at all, so I exempted you from the death penalty."
."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Arutai said repeatedly. Tuohuan was stunned for a moment and kowtowed.
"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." Yunxi continued: "I will also punish you."
"Arutai, I heard that your Asut tribe's ancestors came from the west? So how different do they look from ordinary Mongolians?" Yunxi asked. This matter is not difficult to find out. Although the Asut tribe is counted as
The Mongols also intermarried with other Mongolian tribes, but there are still many internal marriages, and they still have special looks. Although no one knows where they come from specifically, they must be from the West.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the ancestors of the Assut tribe came from Persia, which is a place southwest of Samarkand." Arutai replied.
Yunxi knew where Persia was without his explanation. He smiled and said, "I also heard that your Asut tribe was ostracized by other tribes because you originally came from outside the country?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Arutai agreed again.
After Yunxi asked these two questions, he stopped talking to Arutai and ordered Guilichi to be brought in.
After a while, Gui Lichi was supported by someone and walked in. Arutai quietly glanced at him sideways and was stunned. Such a tall and strong man had not seen him for a few days, but he could actually tell that he had lost a lot of weight and was energetic.
Dejected. Not only him, but also Tu Huan was surprised.
It stands to reason that the two of them are still guilty, and it would be unbecoming of a king to look sideways at others like this, but neither Yunxi nor Fu An cared about it.
When Guilichi was helped to kneel down in front of the emperor, Yunxi said: "He Ning King Guilichi."
"I'm here." Although Gui Lichi was very depressed, he still insisted on agreeing.
"I have found out the truth of the matter clearly. It was your eldest son Eseku who ordered Zheliger to do it."
"What? Is it him?" Even though Gui Lichi was prepared, he was still shocked. The fact that he could see Yunxi again showed that Ming Dynasty did not think it was him who instigated the assassination, but he still did not expect that it was his eldest son who instigated the assassination.
.
But after hearing these words, Gui Lichi's mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly figured out the reason why Eseku ordered Zoliger to assassinate Yunxi. His face suddenly became even more gloomy, and he murmured to himself: "Is it possible?
Am I already a disaster to the Chergis tribe while I'm still alive?"
However, of course a hero like Gui Lichi would not be immersed in this mood for a long time. He quickly came to his senses and kowtowed to Yunxi repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I am not strict in controlling my family, and I actually instigated this to happen.
I am guilty of this matter, please Your Majesty to punish me."
"But before Your Majesty punishes me for my crime, I would also like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to perform meritorious deeds and capture my son Eseku from the Qiljisi tribe and hand him over to Your Majesty for your disposal!"
With a smile on his lips, Yunxi said: "This has nothing to do with Prince He Ning. I will not punish you for your sins. However," Yunxi paused here: "Your eldest son Eseku ordered Zolige
If you want to assassinate me, I want you to send Eseku, his wives, concubines, children, and any grandchildren to me, and I will deal with them in accordance with the "Great Ming Law"."
Gui Lichi's body trembled, and he immediately kowtowed and agreed: "After I return to the tribe, I will send to Your Majesty all the people Your Majesty mentioned."
Arutai couldn't help but lower his head when he heard this. 'Let Guilichi kill all his descendants with his own hands. This emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really ruthless.'
'Furthermore, if only one person from Eseku is handed over, people from the Qiljisi tribe will understand, but if everyone from this lineage is handed over at once, even those who support Guilichi will be dissatisfied.
People who support Eseku will alienate Guilichi. Guilichi's strength is further weakened, and he can only continue to be a dog to the Ming Dynasty. Killing two birds with one stone.'
'But this is not a bad thing for our Asut department. My collusion with Eseku was not in vain. The most important thing now is to destroy all the evidence of dealings with Eseku. Fortunately, I contacted Eseku
It has never been put down to paper and pen. As long as the person who is responsible for liaison with me in the Qiljisi Department is removed, and the person who is responsible for liaison with Eseku in my Asut Department is removed, there will be no evidence for this matter.
Even if Eseku and his cronies reported it before they died, there would be no evidence and Ming Dynasty would not believe it.'
It turns out that Arutai told Tuohuan that the assassination was his instigation, which was half-truth and half-false. He did have the intention to fake the assassination of Yunxi, but the people he lurked in the Qiljisi tribe were not of high status and could not do it.
Such a thing.
He was in a dilemma when Eseku suddenly sent someone to discuss the matter with him. Of course Arutai was willing and arranged the matter.
'Now it just depends on what punishment your Majesty will punish me.' He finally thought.
He was thinking that Yun Hei had finished explaining the matters regarding Guilichi. Guilichi kowtowed a few more times and stood up.
Unexpectedly, Yunxi also stood up and said loudly: "Let's have fun with King Ning and Arutai."
"The (guilty) minister is here." The three of them agreed.
"Do you have any thoughts on the current chaos in the Mongolian grasslands?"
"Your Majesty has decreed that I will do whatever you ask me to do." Arutai said immediately. Tuohuan and Guilichizheng were a little confused, but they also reacted to Arutai's words and said the same.
Yunxi glanced at Arutai approvingly: 'You are very enlightened! In this case, I will reduce the punishment of your Asut tribe.'
He immediately said: "I am very sad to see the Mongolian grassland is in such chaos now, with various tribes killing each other!"
Although he had expected it, Arutai couldn't help but glance at Yunxi: As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you were attacked by the Mongolian tribes back then. Later, you personally led troops to chase them to the banks of the Onan River.
All the men of the tribe were executed and a Jingguan was built. Two years later Kun Timur had the guts to demolish it. Don’t you think it’s too shameful to say this?
Of course, Yunxi couldn't feel the mood of the three people below, and continued: "Of course, I won't hide it from you. The Ming Dynasty has been fighting with the Mongols for decades. It would be a bit false to say that I blame them for going too far north, but I
I really don’t want them to be in such a mess.”
"It's such a mess. Even if I accept Guilichi's submission as a vassal and open mutual trade every year, I still can't stop the Mongols from going south to harass the people at the border. For the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty, I have to rectify this."
"I plan, no, it's not my plan, but I plan to support King He Ning to strictly divide the pastures of the various Mongolian tribes and fix the pastures so that they cannot infringe on each other. What do you think?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Guili Chima kowtowed. This is definitely a good thing for him.
"I agree with your Majesty's idea." Arutai also quickly expressed his support. Isn't he doing so many things just for the stability of his Asut tribe? If Yunxi's idea is realized, their tribe will be stable.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with your Majesty's idea." Tuohuan finally said. He was actually not very happy. Now that their Oara tribe is so powerful, it is a good opportunity to advance eastward.
However, he was not stupid. He knew that if he dared not agree, he would probably not be able to leave Lanzhou alive. Moreover, if the Ming Emperor was determined to implement it, their Oara tribe would not dare to resist.
"Tuohuan, you haven't seen it. I went to Yiwu and saw that the crematoriums were filled with the corpses of lustful people. There were two hundred of them. They were running day and night and there were still many corpses that could only be
They are placed outside waiting to be burned. I also heard from the soldiers at the local guard station that if these ashes are scattered in the farmland, the crops will grow very well in the coming year." Before following Shang Bing on the western expedition, Mahamu said this to Tuohuan.
