After Er Xi left, the female officer immediately asked all the beautiful women to come down to greet the imperial concubine, but before Qin Mingyue went upstairs, all 27 beautiful women ran down the Jinling Pavilion and knelt down in front of Qin Mingyue:
"See empress Chitose!"

This situation shocked Qin Mingyue, she is only the imperial concubine now, there might be a queen empress among these show girls!
Qin Mingyue waved her hands again and again:
"Sisters, get down quickly, we are all here to serve His Majesty, regardless of high or low..."

Seeing that Qin Mingyue was easy-going and without airs at all, all the beautiful girls had a better impression of her. You must know that after some beautiful girls were flopped by the emperor before, they immediately became arrogant and did not pay attention to other beautiful girls.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for a thousand years!"

Mu Jianping and Lin Ruyu were worried that Qin Mingyue's health would be unbearable, so after she chatted with everyone for a while, she immediately stepped forward to support Qin Mingyue:

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, sisters, let's leave for now!"

In this way, Mu Jianping and Lin Ruyu took Qin Mingyue upstairs, and then helped her to lie on the bed to rest. After a whole morning, Qin Mingyue's body has almost recovered. After all, she is an adult, and there is no tear. Condition.

Zhu Youjian in the court hall, at this time, his mood has changed from the joy of last night to anger, because he just received a bad news that the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions were destroyed by the Yeerqiang Khanate, and only one person fled back. capital.

Speaking of the Yarkand Khanate, do you still remember Hassan, the governor of Kashgar of the Yarkand Khanate who was about to get married to Princess Kunxing a while ago? All this started because of him.

In the more than 200 years of history of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been peace with foreigners, but the Governor of Kashgar insisted on making peace with Princess Kunxing in the Ming Dynasty Hall, relying on himself as the son of Great Khan Abdullah.

Princess Kunxing is Zhu Youjian's darling, how can she marry a foreigner, even if she is the daughter of a group of officials, Zhu Youjian will not agree, this matter will damage the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian was furious, let People beat Hassan violently and kicked him out of the capital.

At this time, the Yarkand Khanate was almost the most influential Khanate in Central Asia, and even Zhungeer was still a weak Khanate at this time. How could Hassan bear this matter? Rush back to the Yarkand Khanate.

He didn't care to take a sip of water, and immediately went to see his father Khan. After meeting Abdullah, the kid's talent for acting was revealed. The humiliation was told to the Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate.

In fact, what he said had almost nothing to do with what happened at that time, and he didn't mention anything about his request for Princess Kunxing's marriage.

After all, Hassan was his own son, and he went to Daming to receive such insult after so many hardships. Abdullah was furious when he heard this, and immediately sent an order to expel all the official personnel of Daming in the Yarkand Khanate and cut off diplomatic relations. .

Although he was angry, he didn't dare to touch the envoy of Ming Dynasty, he just expelled him from the country.

However, Hassan, the governor of Kashgar, sent troops to intercept and kill the Ming envoy team on the road.

At that time, Hassan didn't know that a messenger had escaped, because the communication was extremely inconvenient, and it took two months for the news to reach the capital.

The founder of the Yarkand Khanate was Said, a descendant of Chagatai Khanate, who was the third younger brother of Mansuer Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

In order to fight for power, he united with another brother, Helilie, to launch riots in the Ili River Valley and the Seven Rivers Valley against Mansur Khan, and overthrew the Yilibali regime.

Soon, the riot was quelled by Mansul Khan, Helilie was killed, Said fled to the Pamirs, and took control of the Fergan Basin.

Due to repeated setbacks in his expansion south of the Tarim Basin, he fled to the city of Kabul in Afghanistan and joined Babur, a descendant of his distant relative Timur.

In 1512, Said returned to Samarkand with Babur's army.

But in 1512, the Uzbek army captured the Fergan Basin, and the Babur army was defeated.Said once again entered the southern margin of the Tarim Basin.

In the autumn of 1512, Said led his troops to capture Artush, cut off the connection between Aksu and Kashgar, and besieged Ababaike, the ruler of the Dugla tribe.

The tyrant Ababek was trapped for three months and escaped to the city of Yarkand.

In 1513, Kashgar, Aksu, and Yarkand were successively captured by Said's army.

Before the city of Yarkand was captured, Ababak gave way to his son and fled with a large amount of treasure. He poured a large amount of treasure into the Kalangu River in an attempt to delay the speed of Said's army's pursuit.

But he was still captured in Kunlun Mountains, and was secretly executed on the way to Yarkand.

In September 1514, Said officially proclaimed Khan, established the Yarkand Khanate as his capital, and established the Yarkand Khanate.

With the decline of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the power of the Yarkand Khanate penetrated into the Ili Valley and Lake Balkhash.

In 1516, Mansour Khan surrendered to Said.

After that, Said successively conquered the Badak Mountains and the Wakhan region in the southern Pamirs, and once penetrated into the Baluchistan region of Pakistan.

Said then led the army to attack Kashmir, broke into the hinterland of Kashmir, and approached the capital of Kashmir, but was soon resisted by the local soldiers and civilians.

In 1533, Said withdrew his troops and died of illness on the way back to Yarkand. The succession of Khan sparked internal disputes among the ruling class.

The prime minister of the Khanate tried to usurp power in a conspiracy and was executed by Rashid, the eldest son of Said Khan.

In 1533, Rashid became the second khan of the Yarkand Khanate.He was a monarch who attached great importance to cultural activities, and the Yarkand Khanate entered a period of cultural prosperity.

During his reign, his wife Amani Shahan began to organize "Muqam", leaving a valuable cultural wealth for future generations.

In 1570, after the death of Resid, his son Abdukrim succeeded to the throne.

When the Shahhan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate died in battle, Abdul Kerim took the opportunity to send troops to occupy Turpan, Hami and other eastern regions and reunify the Western Regions.

After Muhammad, his son Ai Hemat was in power for a short time.

Rashid's nine sons, Abdu Reimu, marched into Yarkand in an attempt to claim Khan, but were attacked in Aksu.

In 1594, Abdu Reyimu established a political power in Turpan, ruling the northern edge of the Tarim Basin from Hami in the east to Salami (now Baicheng) in the west.

And once crossed the Tianshan Mountains, making the seven small Khanates east of the Junggar Basin surrender to him.

The Yarkand Khanate began to split.After that, the ruling power of the Yarkand Khanate returned to the hands of Rashid Khan's sons.

The new Khan is Abdulitif.The decline of the Yarkand Khanate began since then.After his death, his son-in-law Muhammad succeeded him.

In 1627, Abdullah, the son of Turpan ruler Abdureimu, succeeded to the throne.

Taking advantage of his brothers' struggle for the right to rule Turpan, Abdullah led the army of the Yarkand Khanate to send troops to Turpan, unified the Yarkand Khanate again, and made the city of Hami surrender.

He appointed his younger brother Su Litang as Turpan Aqimu, who directly administered the city of Turpan.Then, he sent troops to the Ili River Valley.

He defeated the army of the Junggar Khanate in the Gongnais Grassland and regained control of the Yili River Valley and Lake Balkhash.

After a series of wars, the Yarkand Khanate once again unified Tashkent and Fergan.The Yarkand Khanate has largely recovered to the territory of the Said period.

In 1655, Abdullah established contact with the Qing Dynasty.In the second year, Abdullah proclaimed himself a minister to the Qing Dynasty and sent envoys to pay tribute.

Abdullah died in Delhi, India in 1665 on his way home from the Hajj.

In 1665, Abdullah's eldest son, Yao Lewas, succeeded to the Khan throne. Two years later, Yao Lewas was murdered, and his younger brother Sima Yi succeeded to the throne.

At this time, the scope of rule of the Yarkand Khanate shrank sharply.Areas west of the Pamirs, such as Tashkent and Fergan, broke away from the Yarkant Khanate.

The Junggar Khanate replaced the Yarkand Khanate in the Yili River Valley and Lake Balkhash.

Sima Yi's rule barely lasted 12 years.

In 1680, the leader of the Baishan sect of the Yishan sect and the Junggar Khan overthrew Sima Yi's rule.The Yarkand Khanate of the Said family came to an end.

Established in 1514, the Yarkand Khanate was ruled by 6 khans for 11 generations. It was destroyed by the Junggar tribe in 1680 and existed for 166 years.

The capital of the Yarkand Khanate is now Shache, and its territory in its heyday included Turpan, Hami, and the Tarim Basin.
