I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Soon, everyone in the cabinet went to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor and reached an agreement.

Although the Chahar tribe dispatched more than 15,000 elite cavalry, they were slightly shabby compared with the 260,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty.

But this is all the Chahar Ministry can do with all its efforts.

After all, Liaodong is a barren land and cannot support too many people, cattle and sheep. In addition, the weather this year is extremely cold, and the growth of aquatic plants is not as good as before.

It was precisely because of this that when the Ming Dynasty's envoy went to the Chahar tribe, he proposed that the two sides join forces to attack Anda Khan.

As the ruler, Amutai did not even consult with Tumahan, the titular Khan, but made his own decision and agreed to the envoy's suggestion.

In Amutai's view, only by relying on plunder can the tribe barely survive this crisis.

After the last disastrous defeat, everyone in the Chahar tribe, from top to bottom, was afraid of Ming, a powerful and shrewd opponent.

Since they cannot be enemies of the Ming Dynasty, they can only target the Tumut tribe who occupy the grassland. After all, the two sides already have an irresolvable hatred.

In addition, Amutai had other considerations. In his opinion, since the Ming court was going to send heavy troops to take revenge on Amada Khan, he could also send troops and take a ride.

After he used the power of the Ming court to expel Anda Khan's Tumut tribe from the grassland, he became a great hero who led his people out of misery and returned to the grassland.

At the same time, he also fulfilled the last wish of his predecessor, the Great Khan.

By then, the prestige he has in the tribe will far exceed that of Tumaihan, the current Zasak Tuhan, and it is not impossible to go further.

He had seen similar cases in the translated Ming court books.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty's envoy arrived, Amutai chose to spend all his money to assemble such an elite cavalry of more than 15,000 people to assist the Ming Dynasty in fighting.

……

At this time, everyone in the cabinet naturally had no time to take care of this, after reaching an agreement on going to meet the emperor.

Everyone in the cabinet set out on the road without stopping.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Jiajing was sitting on the dragon chair, reading the memorial sent from the Supervisor of Ceremonies with special concentration.

"Well, 23,000 Liaodong cavalry led by Wu Ying, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, have arrived in Jizhou. In addition..."

After Jiajing browsed through all the contents of the memorial, he put it aside and said to himself: "I remember that Wu Ying wanted to return to his hometown on the grounds of old age and illness."

"But now he personally leads an army of 20,000 people and goes to Jizhou. He doesn't look old or sick at all!"

Lu Fang, who was waiting beside Jiajing, heard what Jiajing said. After considering the words, he immediately stepped forward and said cautiously.

"Your Majesty, soldiers are proud to die on the battlefield. I think General Wu must also have the same idea. While his body can still move, he will expand your territory for your Majesty and remove obstacles for the Ming Dynasty!"

After hearing what Lu Fang said, Jiajing couldn't help but feel emotional, nodded, and then said: "Yes, it is precisely because of the existence of these people that our Ming Dynasty can be in the current situation!"

When Jiajing said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something. Immediately, he looked in the direction of Lu Fang and said in a deep voice.

"Lu Fang, I plan to build a 'Pavilion of Meritors' in the Forbidden City after this battle is over to commemorate those who have made outstanding contributions to our Ming Dynasty!"

When Jiajing said this, he paused for a moment and then added: "No, it should not be limited to the Ming Dynasty. Throughout the dynasties, all those who have made great contributions to the people of the world and the country, They should all be included in the 'Pavilion of Meritorious Officials' and be praised by future generations!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he looked in the direction of Lu Fang and asked, "Lu Fang, what do you think of my idea?"

At this time, Lu Fang was shocked by the idea proposed by Jiajing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Fang came back to his senses, leaned down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think your idea is wonderful. In this way, we can also pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for the country and the people." He is a hero, if they knew about it, they would definitely feel very happy!"

"Well, I have decided to repair it after this battle is over!"

When Jiajing said this, he gently stroked the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, his eyes full of determination.

At this moment, the guiding eunuch walked in with hasty steps.

After entering the Qianqing Palace, he guided the eunuch to subconsciously turn his gaze to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment. He leaned down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yange and the others are seeking to see you outside. They say they have important matters. Report!"

"Oh, I happen to have something to discuss with them. Let them come in!"

After Jiajing learned the news from the guiding eunuch, he waved his hand quite casually and gave the order.

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's specific instructions, the guiding eunuch immediately left Qianqing Palace without any hesitation.

……

Soon after guiding the eunuchs to leave, Yan Song and his party entered the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as everyone entered the Qianqing Palace, led by Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, they knelt on the ground respectfully and said in unison.

"I bow to your majesty, long live my emperor!"

When Jiajing heard this, he glanced at several people, nodded, and gave instructions in a leisurely manner.

"Well, everyone, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's permission, everyone slowly stood up from the ground.

Then, Jiajing looked in the direction of Yan Song, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Mr. Yan Ge, do you have anything important to report to me?"

As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, Yan Song carefully took out the letter from his sleeve, hunched over his body, raised the letter in his hand high above his head, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, here is the letter sent by the imperial court to the Chahar tribe. The messenger sent back the news!"

When Jiajing heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he immediately said: "Oh, the results are coming so soon?" After hearing Jiajing's words, Yan Song responded without thinking: "Yes, Your Majesty, I believe the above He said that the Chahar Ministry has agreed to Ming Dynasty’s proposal, and will send more than 15,000 elite cavalry to assist Ming Dynasty in fighting!”

Lu Fang, who was waiting on the side, saw this situation and without waiting for Jiajing's instructions, he immediately stepped forward, took the letter from Yan Song's hand, and respectfully handed it to Jiajing.

"His Majesty!"

"Ah."

After taking the letter from Lu Fang, Jiajing read the contents with unusual concentration.

Soon, Jiajing finished browsing the contents of the letter. The contents above were no different from what Yan Song had mentioned before.

After that, Jiajing put the letter in his hand aside, nodded, and said slowly: "Well, these more than 15,000 Tatar knights are the icing on the cake! "

When Jiajing said this, he supported his chin with one hand, faced everyone, and said to himself: "As stated in the letter, this decision was made by the ruler Amutai on his own initiative, even in advance. , and didn’t even discuss it with Tumaihan, the Great Khan!”

"It seems that this person has a big agenda. My dear friends, do you think you should continue to maintain the current status, or..."

When Jiajing said this, he deliberately prolonged his tone, and the meaning was self-evident.

……

When the words fell, Yan Song stood up with an awe-inspiring face and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think it is safer to continue to maintain the status quo. After all, people who are not of my race must have different minds!"

"Only by allowing the Chahar tribe to remain divided can we ensure the interests of our Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent. Otherwise, it will be easy to breed tigers and create trouble!"

After listening to the advice given by Yan Song, Jiajing did not respond immediately. After thinking about it for a moment, he turned his gaze to Xu Jie aside and asked, "Mr. Xu Ge, what do you think?"

Seeing the emperor's eyes on him, Xu Jie couldn't help but feel a little panic. After organizing the words in his mind, he immediately stepped forward and reported in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think we can use both kindness and power. "

When Jiajing heard what Xu Jie said, a look of interest appeared on his face.

Then, Jiajing winked at Xu Jie, gesturing for him to continue speaking.

After getting Jiajing's permission, Xu Jie just spoke out all the thoughts in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the current balance in the Chahar tribe is only temporary. If you don't pay attention, it will be broken!"

"You must know that Tumaihan is the Bolzhijin clan, the fifth grandson of Dayan Khan, the eldest son of Dalaisun, and a descendant of the Golden Family. From the time he was born, the blood of the Golden Family flows in his body. He is born with legal rationality!”

"It is precisely because of this that Tumaihan will not be content with others for a long time. He will never tolerate anyone challenging his authority as the Great Khan."

"And now, as the ruling Amutai, his growing ambitions have threatened his position. Naturally, he has to find ways to get rid of him."

When Xu Jie said this, he changed the topic and continued: "As for Amutai, who is in power, it is different. He does not have a prominent background like Tumaihan, and his foundation is still shallow, so he must rely on others. My Ming Dynasty’s support!”

"Therefore, compared to Toumaihan who is Zasaktu Khan, Amutai is easier to control."

After Xu Jie finished describing his thoughts, Gao Gong's face was full of confusion.

Then, he looked in the direction of Xu Jie and asked tentatively: "So what Mr. Xu Ge means is that I, the Ming Dynasty, should support Amutai, who is in power, to come to power?"

When Xu Jie heard this, he shook his head in a subtle way and explained: "No, what I mean is that I, the Ming Dynasty, should support both parties at the same time. Whoever wins, we will help!"

"If Amutai wins, then we will firmly hold in our hands the leverage he needs to kill the king, and we will not be afraid that he will not submit when the time comes."

"If Tumaihan wins, then I, the Ming Dynasty, will firmly hold the great righteousness and help his "Qingjun side" eliminate the treacherous ministers who want to cause rebellion in one fell swoop!"

"If Tumaihan doesn't want something like this to happen again, then you have to be obedient!"

Yan Song on the side had a look of sudden realization on his face after listening to Xu Jie's narration.

After that, Yan Song leaned down, looked in the direction of Jiajing, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I feel that the strategy proposed by Mr. Xu Ge is very feasible. No matter when the time comes, Whoever wins, our Ming Dynasty will be invincible!"

When Jiajing heard this, he nodded, then cast an approving look at Xu Jie, and said slowly: "Well, Mr. Xu Ge's idea is good, I'm sure!"

"I will leave the specific matters to Mr. Xu Ge."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that his proposal was accepted by the emperor, Xu Jie's face was full of joy, he immediately lowered his head and agreed without thinking.

……

Just when everyone thought that the matter had come to an end, they saw Jiajing gently stroking the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, facing everyone, and spoke slowly.

"By the way, I happen to be undecided about something, so I would like to take this opportunity to ask for your opinions!"

As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, Yan Song's face was full of humility. He leaned down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's okay to say it. The duty of a minister is to share your worries for your Majesty!"

Jiajing heard Yan Song's words, nodded, and then said: "I plan to build a 'Pavilion of Heroes' in the Forbidden City after this battle is over."

"Those who have made outstanding contributions to our Ming Dynasty can have their portraits sent to this pavilion by the court after their death, so that they can be praised by future generations!"

When Jiajing said this, he paused for a moment and continued to add: "Of course, the portraits in the 'Gongchen Pavilion' are not limited to our Ming Dynasty. All the portraits in the past dynasties have been made for the people of the world and the country. Anyone who has made great contributions should be included in the 'Pavilion of Meritorious Officials'!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Song and others one by one, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "My dear friends, what do you think of my idea?"

Because the news was so shocking, the brains of everyone present instantly shut down.

After all, according to the emperor's previous statement, the 'Gongchen Pavilion' is not just for the Ming Dynasty, but for all dynasties. Anyone who has made great contributions to the people of the world and the country will be included in the 'Gongchen Pavilion' !

In other words, if you can send the portrait to the 'Pavilion of Meritorious Officials' after your death, it means that you can be ranked with the most outstanding civil servants and generals in the past dynasties.

In this way, you can truly leave your name in history and be admired by future generations. What an honor it is! (End of chapter)
