Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 468 New Mission
The hot summer is finally coming to an end, and the cool wind blows the autumn, blowing off the yellowing leaves on the trees.

On the tower of Xihua Gate, Zhu Qiyu was wearing a blue tuanlong robe, standing with his hands behind his back, the sleeves of his clothes fluttering with the wind, and looking ahead from a distance.

Under the city tower, there is a convoy of missions that have just finished their speech.

After several days of negotiations, Zhu Jian finally reached an agreement with the envoys sent by Wala.

The representative of Naha also first stated that Wala promised to return the Supreme Emperor and re-profess his vassal to Daming.

Daming agreed to accept Oala's vassalage, and promised to let go of the past, accept Oula's tribute again, and at the same time open the official tea-horse market led by Huangdian to a limited extent.

This condition should be satisfactory to both parties.

Daming finally took back the Supreme Emperor, maintained the status of the suzerain state, and won the surrender of Oala again.

As the Oirat side, although Daming still strongly limited the number of tribute missions and no longer suffered from the dumb losses of the past, in exchange, he agreed to reopen the forbidden mutual market transactions.

Although it was just a simple tea-horse exchange market, and the dominance was completely controlled by the Huangdian, it was already an unexpected benefit to be able to open the exchange market.

It should be said that from the bright side, Daming is disadvantaged by this condition.

In particular, the tea-horse trade market is completely unnecessary in the eyes of many ministers.

After all, Daming already has the trade partner of Tuotuo Buhua, and the content of the transaction is more abundant, so there is no need to open the exchange market with Wala, even if the content of this trade is just a simple tea-horse exchange.

However, under Zhu Qiyu's insistence, this condition finally passed the court meeting.

Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to emphasize too much political significance, because as long as this kind of matter is put in the court, there will be endless quarrels.

So in this matter, he still carried out the banner of the Supreme Emperor.

It is only said that he is worried about the emperor and is willing to make the biggest concession, and persuade Wala to agree to return the Supreme Emperor as soon as possible.

When this reason was presented, the ministers who opposed it immediately fell silent.

There is no way, at this juncture, no one wants to be regarded as a bird who hinders the return of the Supreme Emperor.

If you continue to oppose it, if something goes wrong in the negotiation, wouldn't it be your own fault?

Therefore, this condition passed the court council smoothly.

But in fact, this is just a reason for putting it out.

The deeper meaning is that Zhu Qiyu needs the grassland to be chaotic.

Whether it is to rectify the border settlements, or the nine-border defense line that needs to be steadily advanced afterwards, the border needs to be in a state of tranquility.

Today, the two largest tribal alliances on the grassland are Tatar led by Tuotuobuhua and Wala led by Yexian.

The two maintain a relative balance.

But once the mutual market opens, the strength of Tatar will inevitably increase. On the contrary, Wala has been defeated one after another and is already on the verge of collapse.

Once Tuotuo Buhua has been repaired, it will inevitably rise up and annex Wala.

The current Wala is different from the previous life. In the previous life, he fought under the capital first, his morale was stronger, he plundered and extorted more money along the way, and his strength was stronger.

But the current Oirat has been defeated repeatedly, and its strength is much weaker.

Although Tuotuobuhua is not a British lord, he is not a mediocre person either. He will definitely take the opportunity to annex Wala.

This is also the reason why after the battle of Shawo, he finally couldn't hold back and wanted to negotiate peace with Daming.

There is no more time, so give him no more hesitation.

From the perspective of Ming Dynasty, the reappearance of a huge tribal alliance is not conducive to the tranquility of the border.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu must ensure that when facing the Tatars, Wala at least has the power to counterattack.

Of course, it can't be so strong that Tuotuobuhua has been afraid to stand still, it has to be the kind that makes Tuotuobuhua feel that it can hurt the enemy one thousand and self-injury eight hundred, but the battle can be won.

Only in this way can the grassland become chaotic, and Daming can rest and recuperate with peace of mind.

This is the short-term significance. If we take a longer-term view, it will be related to Ming's future detention policy.

The significance of the mutual market lies in the fact that through the control of the quantity and category of different materials, the Ming Dynasty supported the weak tribes, suppressed the powerful tribes, set off confrontations between tribes, and maintained the chaos in the grassland.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare early, and it is not advisable to trade with one side alone.

The court of the Ming Dynasty needs to adapt to this non-combat method earlier, to consume the vitality of the enemy, stabilize the strength of our army, and maintain a detached position.

For these conditions, Zhu Qiyu is sure and will be satisfied first.

So this time the mission, if there is no accident, it should not be a big problem to complete the final confirmation of both parties and bring the Supreme Emperor back.

Compared with the previous mission, this mission was a little more simple, and it seemed that there was a lot of battle, but they didn't bring any gold, silver, or silk.

I just brought some imperial things with me, and they were still used to welcome and return the Supreme Emperor.

As for the candidates, Zhu Jian, the official censor of the right capital, Honglu Temple, Li Shi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Luo Qi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Perhaps it was because of Zhu Jian's presence, Empress Dowager Sun was relieved, and the British government was arranging the funeral again.

So this time the mission, if you don't count Yuan Bin who went back with him, is all civil servants.

In addition to Zhu Jian, the other two people are also quite interesting.

Li Shi requested to be sent as an envoy by himself, and Luo Qi was recommended by Jin Lian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

You must know that the mission this time is different from the previous one. Last time, they were appointed directly at the court meeting.

But this time, Zhu Qiyu did not make it clear when confirming the Deputy Envoy. Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China basically recommended their own candidates, and many even volunteered.

Among these people, of course there are people like Zhu Jian who want to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, but more people are focused on this credit.

The courtiers are all good people. During the negotiation process this time, all kinds of support from the emperor and Wala's softening attitude were all seen in the eyes of the courtiers.

So everyone knows that there is a high probability that this negotiation will be successful.

That being the case, it is obviously a matter of picking credit, why not do it?

And there is only one reason why these two people can stand out.

In the previous life, Zhu Qiyu had ordered the two of them to go on missions.

Of course, it didn't work out in the end.

However, Zhu Qiyu is very clear about the propositions of the two of them.

Regarding the matter of the Supreme Emperor, they also insisted that they must be welcomed back.

However, in some other places, their views are somewhat similar to Wang Wen's.

Especially Li Shi, who was born as a censor and is famous for his outspokenness and outspokenness. If you just look at his temper, he is almost a little Wang Wen.

As for Luo Qi, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. She was born in the middle school and used to be a censor in various places. The first thing she did when she was transferred back to Beijing was to impeach her immediate boss, the censor of Zuodu, Chen Yi. Favoritism promotes subordinate officials as magistrates.

Selecting these two people as deputy envoys, Zhu Qiyu believed that the entire negotiation process would definitely impress a certain Supreme Emperor.

Of course, leaving with the mission was also Yu Qian, who was in charge of military affairs on both sides as Minister of the Ministry of War, and went to the border to investigate the case of Luo Tong.

However, many ministers in the court prefer Yu Qian not to investigate the case, but to go to the border to sit in town, to add a layer of guarantee to welcome the Supreme Emperor.

Otherwise, no matter how big the case of arms reselling was, how could two people who were doomed to die work hard for Yu Qian to go there in person.

Watching the mission's convoy disappear into the distance, Zhu Qiyu's expression was calm, without the slightest disturbance.

After a while, Shu Liang's voice sounded from behind.

"My lord, by word of mouth, Duke Feng Li Xian, Uncle Jing'an Fan Guang, Minister of Rites Hu Wei, Minister of Military Affairs Yu Shan and several other lords have been summoned in the Hall of Martial Arts."
