Chapter 909: Secrets

The eunuch Cao Fu held the hem of his robe and rushed out of the main hall.Qi Tai turned his head and looked at Cao Fu, then bowed and said: The emperor is decisive, I admire him.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Qibutang has strategies, isn’t this your idea?

Qi Tai bent down and said: I am just a family statement, and those who make decisions are still the priest.

He thought for a while and said: The court has a minister. If he could really ask something useful from Huang Taiping, or if he could verify what King Zhao said in his letter, it would be a truth to deceive the king. The King of Zhao was afraid that he would not dare to send Huang Taiping to the capital, and he would not want to take such a big risk.

I also have some guesses. King Zhao is unlikely to collude with the Mongols. What can the Mongols give to King Zhao?

Although the emperor is majestic, he is concerned about the kiss of King Zhao and has never forced him.

King Zhao has become the prince and will not take risks.

Besides, if the letters brought by the Tatars were like a secret matter, how could they dare to use the "flower boy" of the Urianha people? The official of the Northern Department of the Guardian Department only aroused him about Gu Sheng's profit. The flower boy immediately said everything angrily and told him about sending gold to the Zhao royal palace. The flower boy is such an unreliable person, how could the Tatar powerful people ask him to do a big deal?

Zhu Gaoxu praised: This is the reason.

Qi Tai said again: At the beginning of Yongle, Emperor Taizong conferred King Zhao in Beiping.At the beginning of Wude, King Zhao took the initiative to ask for an order to move the mansion to Changde.Therefore, I believe that if there is no real evidence, it should be necessary to appease King Zhao.

After Huang Taiping returned to Zhangde, he would tell the details of his visit to Beijing.Huang Taiping was arrested by a eunuch at first, but was immediately released without torture. It is estimated that he might not have been to the imperial prison.From this we can see that the emperor does not doubt King Zhao.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded and then said quietly: I will not need to go to Qibutang this time.The cabinet needs you to take charge, and I feel more at ease when you are in the court.

Qi Tai said: I will receive the order and I will do my best to deal with everything.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: Let Duke Qi follow him and let him go out for a walk together so that he would not think that I had forgotten him.

Qi Tai bowed and responded without comment.After a while, Qi Tai talked about the secret letter from the Tatars: From this point of view, Huang Yan wrote a letter for the Tatars, and the contents of it should be true.

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the secret letter from the Tatar tribe and read it carefully again.

The content is very simple, it means that Alutai will soon send someone to the Ming Dynasty to meet, asking the Emperor of Ming to allow the family and subordinates of the Tatar leader who was wandering in Hami to go home through Shanxi.

After the court allowed it, Huang Yan asked Gu Sheng to help and spend some money to escort the Tatar family, so that the Han people would not make things difficult for their families, and sent more people to help and protect them.

Qi Tai's voice said: The letter stated that you should wait for the court to allow the Tatar family members to pass the way; then you should ask the people from the Zhao royal palace to take care of it. It did not ask the people in the royal palace to go against the will of the court. This matter itself was not a big problem.However, King Zhao quickly sent Huang Taiping, because he was still afraid that the court would suspect him.

Are there any important figures among the Tatars who lived in Hami?Zhu Gaoxu pondered.

Qi Tai pondered for a while, then said: What the emperor is concerned about makes sense.Among the Mongolians, the Tatars were the ones who were most hostile to the Ming Dynasty, who had repeatedly refused to enthrone the imperial court and seized the imperial envoys.What's more, the emperor personally fought against the Tatars a few years ago, and the war had just passed.Now, in order to borrow the remnants of the west, Alutai took the initiative to send envoys to pay tribute; and also made a special trip to send people to contact the people of the Zhao royal palace, and made arrangements in private.It can be seen that Alutai attaches importance to it.

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: Guess who the character is.

The king and his subject looked at each other.Zhu Gaoxu immediately thought of the person he once said: the descendant of the former Mongolian Khan Benyali, who was the Great Khan of Benyali.

Nowadays, the signs of movement of the Tatars are becoming more and more obvious; except for Benjali's son, Zhu Gaoxu really can't think of anyone else, worthy of Arutai's attempt to rescue him.

However, when He Kuisi proposed this statement, there were very few things to refer to.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that He Kuisi was quite imaginative.

Is he the son of Benjali's khan?Qi Tai's voice said.

Zhu Gaoxu said: It is possible.Ben Yari Se Khan is a direct descendant of Kublai Khan, and his son is more convinced by the Khan.I learned from the Northern Office of the Guardians that Benjali had married Alutai and wanted to marry Alutai's sister as his wife.Is there anyone who is better than Kublai Khan's descendant, Alutai's nephew, who is more suitable to be helped to be a Khan?

Qi Tai bowed and said: What the emperor said is extremely true.But I still have some doubts.

After saying that.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Qi Tai pondered: Alutai is so generous in rescue, aren’t you afraid that the Ming Dynasty court will find out the man and detain him?

Zhu Gaoxu said: I feel that something is wrong.When Qibutang mentioned it, it seemed that it was exactly here.

Qi Tai said again: However, it is also possible to find reasons for Alutai’s approach.First of all, Arutai may have no choice, and secondly, he may think that the Ming Dynasty was changing its national policy and would not necessarily make things difficult for the leader of the Tatars.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: Now I can only guess. I will talk about it after seeing the Tatar envoy.

Qi Tai bowed and said: What the emperor said is extremely true.I would like to thank you for your gratitude and give up.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in just a few days.

The capital has been noisy since the morning, and it is very lively with lights and gongs.

The officials and citizens have many programs, including hanging mugwort and eating rice dumplings, and there are also dragon boat racing activities on various rivers such as the Qinhuai River, and there are also many onlookers.

The emperor did not leave the palace to participate in any programs.

Zhu Gaoxu only issued an order and organized necessary ritual activities, set up a luncheon to entertain the royal relatives and let the queen invite the female members of the Zhu family who returned to the palace.

According to folk customs, women have to go back to their parents' home on the Dragon Boat Festival; the princesses and princesses in Beijing have also returned, but the imperial concubine has not left the palace.

After the lunch, Zhu Gaoxu, according to the advice of the officials of the Honglu Temple, he also wanted to find a place to climb up and look far.

This matter is not a ritual, but a habit of the world. The emperor is an example of the people of the world and should try his best to follow people's customs.

After attending the banquet at Fengtian Hall, Zhu Gaoxu picked a high place, right at the East Corner Gate to the left of Fengtian Gate.The relatives and nobles came around Zhu Gaoxu's car and went to the attic together.

The space on the Dongjiaomen Tower is not large, and it will be a little crowded when there are too many people.

However, Zhu Gaoxu still saw the prince-in-law He Kuisi from the crowd at a glance.

Zhu Gaoxu remembered his feelings a few days ago, looked at He Kuisi more and called out: He Kuisi.

Under the attention of everyone, He Kuisi walked up from the crowd and knelt down and said, "I'm here."

Zhu Gaoxu helped him up with one hand and said directly: I am out of Beijing for a tour, you can travel with me and guard it nearby.

A hint of surprise appeared on He Kuisi's face, and he immediately bowed and said, "I will receive the order."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: Go back and prepare.

At this moment, Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Xincheng, bent down and said: I heard that Mr. He can only wander around and sing, afraid it will not be useful.Please select loyal and brave men to protect the saint.

Suddenly everyone was in an uproar. Some were watching Zhang Fu with great interest, while others looked at He Kuisi with a mocking look on their faces.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately understood that Zhang Fu was very dissatisfied with the people of He Fu's family, or because of the first battle of the Huguang War, He Fu sold Zhang Fu.

Today, Zhang Fu is still worried.

Zhang Fu has always been calm.But with the opportunity to humiliate the He family, he still changed his style and would not let it go.

He Kui said in four ways: The emperor is not only guarding him. He can play and sing, but also help him to relieve his boredom, which is of no use.

Everyone became even more interested when they heard this. They watched and looked at He Kuisi, who was not afraid of boiling water. Some of them shook their heads and sighed secretly.

Zhang Fu sneered: Since that's the case, why don't the prince-consort be entertained by the emperor on this festival?

Someone immediately advised: No, Emperor Taizu issued an order to prohibit military generals from playing and singing, and those who violated the rules were killed.

Zhang Fudao: This order is to be the military general of the Wei District. The son-in-law of the Duwei was not the general of the Wei District. It is not illegal to present a song to the emperor.

He Kuisi clasped his fists and said: If the emperor doesn’t mind, please play a song to congratulate the emperor.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he said: Accurate.

He Kuisi turned around and called an eunuch to get a bamboo branch.Everyone waited for a while, and the eunuch took Zhu Xiao, and He Kuisi first clasped his fists and said, "I would like to report to Xiao."

Xiao Sheng played solo together, and a vigorous song of "Wanli Jinling" echoed in the attic.

Everyone also calmed down and no longer had a mocking look.

He Kuisi is indeed very talented in music. Although Zhu Gaoxu is not proficient in music, he can also hear this familiar song, which makes him play it very emotionally.

He Kuisi's expressions and movements also changed with the song. Zhu Gaoxu seemed to see the Ming iron cavalry rushing in the yellow sand in the rhythm, and his artistic conception was very mesmerizing.

Zhu Gaoxu comforted his hands and said: OK!

All the royal relatives and nobles all agreed and shouted. Come on.He Kui returned the bamboo Xiao to the eunuch and went up to worship: I think it's ugly.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back and said with a smile: The Marquis of Xincheng and the Marquis of Ningyuan are both dedicated to their country and made achievements.The song of the Prince Consort Duwei is a praise of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone nodded and said yes.After hearing this, Zhang Fu also clasped his fists and said, "The Lord is wise."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at He Kuisi from Yu Guangli and observed his reaction at this time.Unexpectedly, He Kuisi was not aroused by indignation, nor could he see any sign of anger and shame.Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that this young man was quite interesting.

Today's festival, the programs outside the palace may be more exciting than in the palace.It's all gone, you can do whatever you want.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand gently.

Everyone bowed and thanked each other and shouted that the priest had lived for thousands of years.

Everyone left, and Zhu Gaoxu stood in front of the window for a while, his afternoon eyes were drying the window, making the wood boil.The rain that Zhu Gaoxu was looking forward to has not yet come down.
