Blood from Daming

Chapter 435 Tribute
Xue Rui pondered for a while and said, "Can you tell Grandpa why?"

Ms. Chen lowered her head and said: "Grandpa, my husband will not easily give up the cause of Datong and the Great Wall. Now that Uncle Xue is leaving for North Korea, Grandpa's life in the capital will be even more difficult, so my husband will plan ahead. My grandfather and Xue's family will leave a retreat."

Xue Rui said in surprise: "Did Yuner ask Xue Er to go to North Korea to avoid disaster?"

Ms. Chen said: "Grandpa, my husband is worried that Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou in Liaodong are not good for Second Uncle Xue, so he asked Second Uncle Xue to avoid disasters in North Korea. However, Second Uncle Xue will choose the right time and try to leave Liaodong without leaving traces."

After a while, Xue Rui said: "Hey, I never thought that my Xue family has been loyal to Daming for more than 200 years, but in the end it ended up going to the country and leaving the country. This is really a great irony to the ancestors of the Xue family."

Ms. Chen sat there in good order and didn't respond. Xue Rui said, "Daughter-in-law, is it possible that Xue Zhuang's personnel have begun to transfer on a large scale?"

Ms. Chen nodded cautiously, and Xue Rui said: "Then what about these shops in the capital, and where are your footholds?"

Ms. Chen said: "The grandson's daughter-in-law means to maintain the status quo and prevent the court from being suspicious. The Xue family's temporary foothold is Changtu Island off the coast of Hangzhou, and the next target is the Taiwan Island facing the sea from Heishuigou."

When Xue Rui heard this, his eyes lit up and he stood up. He walked back and forth in the study. Xue Rui walked back and forth several times before stopping beside the main seat. Then he said to Ms. Chen: "Daughter-in-law , There are so many red fans, Japanese pirates, and pirates on Taiwan Island, how can you stand on that deserted island?"

Ms. Chen said: "Third sister is on Changtu Island to rectify troops and horses, and Fifth Brother's troops will go south. When the time comes, my husband will bring the Datong Changsheng Army to help in the battle. I am determined to win Taiwan Island."

Xue Rui was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect Yun'er to debut for just over a year, and she has already made so many situations. It seems that you guys are already on the ropes and have to do it. I, an old man What else is there to say?"

Ms. Chen said: "Grandpa, no matter how big things my husband will do in the future, my husband will still be my grandson, and you will be at the helm of the Xue family."

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, it's still my good granddaughter-in-law talking."

Miss Chen blushed and felt a little embarrassed, Xue Rui said: "Daughter-in-law, don't go to the city anymore, just send someone to report if something happens."

Ms. Chen said: "My daughter-in-law knows."

Xue Rui said: "Everything in Xue's mansion is as usual. The cheap rice from "Huimin Grain Store" and "Wuji Rice Shop" is indispensable. "Xueji Silk Cloth" and "Sanjiang Huitong" are simply repaired. "Xinghua Restaurant" Let's take it easy and fix it slowly, and wait for the court to return the Xue family to the situation before it becomes clear. "

When Ms. Chen came out of her grandfather's study, the female soldiers in Xuezhuang swarmed down to the second gate and boarded a small blue and white sedan chair. Accompanied by men and women, they hurried out of Guangqumen on the east side of the outer city of Beijing.

Xue Rui kicked Xue Aoren out of Beijing the next day. Xue Aoren was a shrewd person, knowing that the situation was not good, he was naturally eager to get away, but the three aunts were so reluctant to let go, dawdling in the yard of the second room, or Xue Rui spoke, and if he didn't want to leave, he stayed as a widow.

Now Xue Aoren's three wives panicked, they only packed up some valuable belongings, dragged their children and daughters with their caring maids and servants, followed Xue Aoren's group and fled Beijing city in a swarm.

In the next few days, Xue Rui was idle in Xue's residence. Now Xue's family members are servants except the eldest daughter-in-law and grandson Xue Jie. Finally, one day Xue Rui got a report from the servants. Minister Shetu Khan's tribute mission entered Beijing through Deshengmen.

Only then did Xue Rui secretly heave a sigh of relief. He hoped that his grandson Xue Yun's great achievements in opening up the territory would calm the Xue family's mistakes in Datong Mansion and Liaodong, so that the Xue family could stay in the Ming Dynasty safely. If he comes to a dead end, Xue Rui is still unwilling to give up the imperial court that his ancestors have served for more than 200 years, and he is unwilling to leave this piece of home land that he misses very much.

Today, Emperor Tianqi was very happy. The tribute mission of the Tuxietu Khan tribe finally arrived in Beijing. Although Emperor Tianqi said that the tribute mission of the Tuxietu Khan tribe came a little slowly, he was a sensible person. The tribute mission of the Tuxie Tuhan tribe was seven days earlier than the normal schedule. This Tuxie Tuhan tribe is not insincere.

The tribute mission of the Tuxietu Khan tribe made a large-scale tribute this time. In addition to the [-] tribute, there were also [-] good Mongolian horses. The most valuable thing was the ten famous Dawan horses. The bloody BMW that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked, when the emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was fond of BMW, he specially cast a golden horse, and ordered the envoy to send it to Dawan Kingdom. He wanted to exchange the golden horse for a bloody BMW. Killed on the way. , Emperor Wu was furious and sent a large army to expedition to Dawan Kingdom. The Great Khan army defeated Dawan Kingdom, and only then did he get the bloody BMW.

Emperor Apocalypse got ten blood-sweat BMWs at one time. Such a great feat can be said to be unprecedented except for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there are not many comers after him. Thinking of himself, Emperor Tianqi felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was indeed aggressive.

Emperor Tianqi summoned his cabinet ministers to discuss matters in Dongnuange. The eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the chief inspector of ceremonies, and the new commander of Jin Yiwei, Tian Ergeng, and Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the imperial censor of the left capital, arrived first. After a while, the cabinet ministers Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Shi Feng Lai, Feng Quan, and Zhang Ruitu arrived.

These cabinet ministers, ministers, and commanders flattered Emperor Tianqi, and said that Emperor Tianqi was the best emperor in history. After listening to these compliments, Emperor Tianqi felt that it was the same thing. Well, just the [-] tribute from Tuxietu Khan's tribe put him, the Ming emperor, in the position of Tian Khan, not to mention a thousand good Mongolian horses and ten bloody BMWs.

A few days ago, the Emperor Tianqi was still worried about the bad things that the Xue family caused Xue Polu to do in Liaodong, and now he finally has an excuse to shirk those officials. The Xue family has made great contributions to the Ming court. It's okay for an official to eat enough, so what's the point of twisting a general who has no experience as a servant.

Emperor Tianqi said: "This time the Tuxietu Khan's tribute is very sincere. How do the ministers and workers think to return the tribute to the Tuxietu Khan?"

Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "Qizou Your Majesty, this time the Tuxietu Khan tribe claims to be willing to ups and downs our Ming Dynasty for generations, it is not an ordinary Mongolian tribe paying tribute, and the Tuxietu Khan tribe is the three heroes of Mobei, the significance of his tribute This is so important that the brilliance of my Ming Dynasty came to the polar regions of the Mongolian grasslands, and the emperor gave a great award to the Tuxietu Khan tribe."

Emperor Tianqi said: "What do you think of my dear friends?"

The cabinet ministers Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Feng Quan, Zhang Ruitu, Tian Ergeng, and Cui Chengxiu said in unison: "The ministers and others are seconding the proposal."

Emperor Tianqi said: "Okay, how will this matter be settled? Choose an auspicious day to hold a tribute ceremony, canonize the queen dowager of the Tuxietu Khan tribe, and enjoy the treatment of the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty. Regarding Xue Yun's reward, please discuss it with your dear friends."

Tian Ergeng, the new commander of Jin Yiwei, has recently gotten close to Xue Rui, the old man of the Xue family. Now that the emperor is happy and decided to repay the Xue family who has given him a lot of benefits, he boldly stood up for Xue Yun and said: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant General of Datong Xue Yungong is loyal to the country, this time he opened up the territory for the Ming Dynasty and cleared Mobei outside the Great Wall, and he surrendered to the Tuxietu Khan of Mongolia, so he can be promoted to the post of commander in chief."

Emperor Tianqi said: "What do you think of Tian Aiqing's suggestion?"

The cabinet ministers Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Feng Quan, Zhang Ruitu, and Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War and Zuodu Yushi, also followed suit. With a slight nod, Emperor Tianqi approved Tian Ergeng's proposal.

Emperor Tianqi said: "According to my will, Xue Yun, the deputy general of the Datong Mansion, will be appointed as the second-rank general officer."

The officials in Dongnuan Pavilion said yes, and Emperor Tianqi continued: "My dear friends, let those boring officials stop talking about the Xue family's bad things. You must know that nothing can be slapped."

All the ministers in Dongnuan Pavilion said in unison: "The ministers respect the holy will."
