I'm really not doing business

Chapter 270 Nine Heavens Open the Palace
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu, then at Zhang Hong, and then at Feng Bao. The three of them had one thing in common, that is, they did not sow discord in front of the emperor. The investigation of the Xishan attack case was so foggy that it might even become one of the unsolved cases of the Ming Dynasty. one.

But none of the three of them said they suspected anyone, or even had this intention.

With such a good opportunity to throw dirty water, the three of them resisted and did not slander in front of the emperor.

As the emperor's closest ministers, those who are eloquent and sow discord are called slanderers. Obviously, the three ministers do not want to be slanderers, but they are not upright and upright ministers who dare to argue and remonstrate. Although in terms of character, they cannot be like slanderers. Hai Rui is an honest minister, but he will not be an evil minister.

If the people around the emperor continue to instigate, it will cause great harm.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the king of Qin who was good at fighting, was too good at fighting, so Li Yuan could only appoint him as General Tiance and establish a government office. At this time, the conflict between General Tiance and Prince Li Jiancheng had almost reached the point of incompatibility. , but it’s still so short of a finishing touch.

Li Yuan, who wanted to play checks and balances, was like dancing on the tip of a knife, maintaining the balance between the prince and the king of Qin.

This extremely fragile balance was broken by the fourth child, Li Yuanji.

Yuanji is Tang, and in the official book, Yuanji can be written as Tang. Li Yuanji became ambitious. After analyzing the situation of the court, he came to a conclusion, that is, except for the King of Qin, he would take the East Palace as if he were the palm of his hand.

Li Yuanji wanted to be the emperor, but the only obstacle was the King of Qin. The prince was not worth mentioning, so he started to stir up dissension everywhere, poisoning, seizing military power, stirring up trouble around Li Yuan, etc. In the end, the contradictions became intensified and the Xuanwumen Incident broke out. .

A total of four Xuanwumen changes occurred in the Tang Dynasty, which caused endless harm.

In the end, Li Jiancheng's posthumous title was King Yinxi. In the 16th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin added the title of crown prince to his eldest brother. Li Jiancheng's posthumous title was finally designated as Prince Yinxi.

This is regarded as acknowledging that Li Jiancheng was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. The word "Yin" in this posthumous title means "Yin" in the country without showing his body, and "Yin" in the country without showing his body. It means that he occupies the throne because of his unclear virtues, or he steals the throne despite being incompetent. .

This posthumous title is not considered an evil one, but a middle one, neither good nor bad. At first, Li Jiancheng's posthumous title was determined to be "Rule", but later he said he wanted to change it to "Ling", and finally settled on "Yin".

Both "Li" and "Ling" are evil posthumous titles. For example, the posthumous title given to his younger brother Zhu Qiyu by Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen was "Li". King "Li" was Zhu Qiyu's only official title from the Tianshun period to the 11th year of Chenghua, until Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Jianshen rehabilitated his uncle. , Zhu Qiyu’s emperor title was recognized.

What is more interesting is that eight years after Tianshun, before he was rehabilitated, Zhu Qiyu was already called Emperor Jingtai or Emperor Jing in various official records. It was obviously with the tacit approval of Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, otherwise this kind of arrogance On such a big matter, how can I dare to state my position so directly?

Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother, did nothing but wipe his brother's ass for eight years, repelling the invasion of Kouwala, pacifying the civil unrest in Fujian, appeasing the refugees in Huguang, managing the Daning Loop, and negotiating the reopening of the Western Regions.

Li Jiancheng's posthumous title is "Yin", not "Rou". This is Li Shimin's kindness as a victor. In addition, in the 16th year of Zhenguan, he promoted King Xi to the crown prince. It may be Li Shimin's fake mercy when the cat cries like a mouse, or it may be to appease the old. The remnants of the party may actually have some kind hearts.

However, the posthumous title given by Li Shimin to his fourth brother Li Yuanji was "Slay", which means "Tongli". If he is violent and has no relatives, he is called "Slay". This is a first-class evil posthumous title.

This kind of posthumous title was given to his own brother, and the person died, and he refused to say even a nice word. This shows that Li Shimin hated Li Yuanji deeply.

Li Shimin accepted Li Yuanji's Princess Qi Yang into the palace, and gave birth to a son with Yang. This son was later adopted into Li Yuanji's name, which shows that he really hated him so much that he killed him and slept with his wife. , and then adopt the adopted child, what kind of hatred is this.

Li Shimin had every reason to hate Li Yuanji for sowing discord.

Without Li Yuanji sowing discord, Li Shimin should have been more prepared to end the fight for the throne in a more honorable way, instead of using the most brutal palace coup to kill his brothers and sisters from the same mother and enter the palace. The soldiers forced his biological father to be killed, laying the foundation for frequent palace changes in the future of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanji's instigation intensified the conflict between Li Shimin and Prince Li Jiancheng, and accelerated the outbreak of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. By that time, the car had reached the front of the mountain and had to be moved, and the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with Zhang Hong, Feng Bao and Wang Chonggu. He could not be a true minister, but he would not slip into an evil minister. In Zhu Yijun's view, it could be called a loyal monarch.

"What do you think of the ordnance business?" Zhu Yijun changed the subject. Since Wang Chonggu didn't want to talk, he wouldn't talk about it and would just investigate slowly.

"This is a big deal." Wang Chonggu said with great confidence: "Contrary to what ordinary people think, ordnance is often not more new or better. The most important thing about ordnance is durability, reliability and stability, because in the process of fighting with each other, ordnance It’s the life of a soldier.”

Wang Chonggu had been fighting with Anda Khan openly and covertly for so many years in the northwest. It was not that he didn’t understand military affairs at all. Wang Chonggu, who was an expert at wielding a large ring knife, actually knew military affairs very well. His views were exactly the same as Qi Jiguang’s. The Yi gun has been invented for several years, but Qi Jiguang still uses it as an auxiliary firearm. The more commonly used firearm is the bird gun, because the bird gun is more stable.

Similarly, after the Ming Dynasty's five-masted ocean crossing ship was designed, many shortcomings were actually discovered. In subsequent production, whatever can be modified on the original basis will be modified. If it cannot be modified, there will be no need to start a new one in the short term. Intend.

"Looking at the whole world, there is no ordnance more reliable than the Ming Dynasty's ordnance, even the ordnance that was replaced and eliminated by the Ming Dynasty." Wang Chonggu elaborated on the commodity advantages of the Ming Dynasty's ordnance. Arms is also a commodity, and it is a highly profitable product. , especially during wars, the price of armaments will rise to an incredible level.

For example, the cost of a blunderbuss is seven taels of silver, and the imperial court needs one, two, or three taels of silver to build one. It is sold to the Japanese Maori family for [-] taels and four taels of silver, and Xu Wei's direct quotation to the Maori family is seven taels and four taels of silver. Silver, this is nearly seven times the profit. As the war progresses and becomes more intense, this profit will only grow more violently.

"The construction of the imperial palace has been completed. Thanks to the hard work of the second assistant, he will be responsible for these sea trade ordnance." Zhu Yijun gave Wang Chonggu an errand, which was authorized by the imperial power to sell contraband to the Japanese country.

"I obey the order." Wang Chonggu showed a smile.

The ordnance given to the Japanese country can be simpler.

For example, a blunderbuss tube that was originally durable will become rusty after a few years, or even corrode the barrel. This can happen to both long and short soldiers. Simple ordnance can increase the orders of the Japanese country, and it can also do something to the military strength of the Japanese country. It can collect and infiltrate all-round intelligence, and it can also increase its influence on the Japanese civil war. Today, it can be sold to the Mori family. It is not impossible to sell to the Takeda and Hojo families tomorrow. It is not impossible to do business with Oda Nobunaga the day after tomorrow. .

It's just a sale.

Selling ordnance has never been a simple matter of selling ordnance. The scale and how to penetrate it are not difficult for Wang Chonggu. The emperor left this matter to him. Wang Chonggu can be said to have returned to his old business and has rich experience.

"Your Majesty, the Third Lady has entered the court to pay tribute this year, and a lot of work will be done in the future. Your Majesty will inspect it. Do you want to call the envoys from various countries?" Wang Chonggu said about the Three Lady's visit to the capital to pay tribute.

Sanniangzi is also a frequent visitor, as are the sons of Tuman Khan, the envoy of the Northern Lu, and envoys from Korea, Ryukyu, Annan, Siam, etc. Needless to say, Korea and Ryukyu, as filial sons of the Ming Dynasty, their envoys He has been in Beijing all year round, and Yin Zhengmao resumed paying tribute to Annan and Siam after he showed off his power in Luzon.

Although the scale was not as large as that of the Yongle period when envoys from more than a dozen tributary countries came to the DPRK to congratulate them, the number was not too embarrassing and could maintain the dignity of the Celestial Kingdom.

The reason why Wang Chonggu mentioned Sanniangzi was naturally because the emperor had previously received Sanniangzi on the foundation. Sanniangzi was extremely shocked. The meeting with the vassal envoys on the foundation was really an eye-opener for Sanniangzi.

Wang Chonggu was afraid that the northern captives would despise China.

Sanniangzi came to Beijing at this time, was it intentional or accidental?This is obviously intentional.

Three days later, before dawn, Zhu Yijun had already put on the emperor's twelve crowns and twelve chapters.

The Ming Dynasty's Ming Dynasty distinguished the closeness of the tributary countries. For example, the Mianfu of the kings of Ryukyu and Korea was Jiuqi, the Gongfu was nine chapters, the Gui was nine inches, the golden hook leather belt, etc., while the Annan and Japanese It is seven chapters and seven inches. If it is farther away, such as Manchuria (Straits of Malacca), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), etc., it will be five chapters.

King An of Shunyi replied that it was Wuzhang Gunfu.

Zhu Yijun got on the jade chariot in front of the Xiyuan Gate, and then arrived in front of the Meridian Gate. After two and a half years, the central axis of the burned palace was finally rebuilt, and the palace gate was closed for two and a half years. When the emperor's car arrived, At that time, it was slowly opened amidst the sound of drums and cannons.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." As the palace door opened, the civil and military ministers waiting on both sides knelt down to pay their respects.

Zhu Yijun stood on Dajiayu Road, extended his hand forward and said: "Stand flat."

The small yellow gate conveyed the sounds of the heavenly language one after another, and Zhu Yijun stepped down step by step from the jade chariot and looked up at the pavilion on the Meridian Gate. The glazed tiles shone under the rising sun, flashing with psychedelic light.

Zhu Yijun walked onto the Five Golden Water Bridge step by step and entered the palace.

After walking through the doorway, an open square suddenly opened up. Zhu Yijun stamped his feet, looked at Wang Chonggu and said, "Is this ground also made of lime?"

"Your Majesty, these are specially fired square bricks. They are wear-resistant and bend-resistant, have a natural texture, are non-slip and are beautiful. They are not made of lime. The backfill is made of Sanhe soil compacted three feet deep and then paved with lime." Wang Chonggu replied quickly.

The backfill is definitely not construction waste, but a three-foot-thick layer of rammed earth. Wang Chonggu used his own life as a guarantee to ensure quality and quantity.

Wang Chonggu did not explain the craftsmanship of this square brick, but its quality is no less than that of the gold bricks used before, but its price is less than one-tenth of the gold bricks.

The Imperial Kiln Brick is the Lumu Brick Kiln of the Xiangshan Gang in Suzhou. It was named the Imperial Kiln because it participated in the construction of the Imperial Palace in the capital. In the past, bricks from the Ming Dynasty were supplied in Changzhou and had to be transported by canal, which led to its The price is expensive because of the shipping cost.

The imperial kiln gold bricks cost eight yuan of silver each, and the distance from Meridian Gate to Huangji Gate (former Chengtian Gate) cost more than 4000 yuan.

For this renovation, the square bricks used by Wang Chonggu are the same as the gold bricks in color, but the quality is higher, and they only cost [-] yuan a piece.

The reason why Wang Chonggu dared to use the Nine Tribes as a guarantee and said the quality was better than gold bricks was entirely because of the use of brand-new technology, high-temperature sintering.

A brick has to go through 31 processes, which is extremely cumbersome. For example, there is a magnetic screening iron. After ball milling, the iron material is removed through a magnetic screening screen to prevent the glaze from turning green. Slow burning is used at high temperatures, while ball milling uses Ball grinding ensures the fineness of fine materials.

Wang Chonggu can guarantee that the entire square will be durable. To put it bluntly, even after the Ming Dynasty died, these bricks are still strong.

Zhu Yijun stepped on it and was very satisfied. Inside the Meridian Gate was the Neijinshui River. On both sides of the Neijinshui River were the Zuoshunmen and the Right Shunmen. The right Shunmen led to the Wuying Hall, and the Left Shunmen led to the Wenhua Hall and the Cabinet. The water waves In front of the rippling Neijinshui Bridge is the Huangji Gate.

Huangji Gate is magnificent.

Zhu Yijun walked through the Huangji Gate, patted the doorway, and walked in. This thing was extremely heavy. It was originally a city wall wrapped in bricks, but now it has become a city wall wrapped in steel-concrete and rammed earth. Its mass can pull a nine-pound cannon over. Boom, it can only leave a hole.

It is extremely resistant to construction and has a redundant design that seriously exceeds the standard.After walking into the Huangji Gate, along the central axis, you can see at a glance the huge square of the Three Main Halls, with Wucheng Pavilion on the left and Wenzhao Pavilion on the right. Directly in front is the Huangji Hall, the largest of the three main halls. Zhu Yijun is standing in front of the Huangji Gate. In front of the doorway, looking at the Huangji Palace in the distance, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Is it a glass window?"

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a glass window." Wang Chonggu puffed up his chest sincerely. This is a masterpiece that he should be proud of. After everyone sees it, they will only think that they have arrived in the heavenly palace.

Wang Chonggu did not make any changes to the layout or even the color of the Ming Dynasty Palace. Only this glass window was modified by Wang Chonggu.

It has both lighting and warmth. Looking at it, the golden light is shining, which is really beautiful.

"It's not made with crystal, right?" Zhu Yijun looked at the glass windows and asked subconsciously, how expensive crystal is, and it's really a waste to use it to make glass, but these days, there is no need to use crystal to make the glass, so the glass is a little green. But from the reflection, there is no green.

Wang Chonggu hurriedly said: "No, if this is made with crystal, the tripod will cost 140 million taels. Fourteen million taels can be used to burn a glass. After two magnetic screenings, the iron still has a little green color. , it’s just not very obvious.”

Zhu Yijun took a closer look and found that the glass did have a bit of green. It was completely indistinguishable without looking carefully.

A brand-new construction method ensures warmth while ensuring lighting.

Zhu Yijun walked into the Huangji Hall, and four small yellow gates carried the dragon chair onto the platform. Zhu Yijun walked over, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. It was exactly the same as before, but the building materials inside had been completely changed, with a steel-concrete structure, except for the furniture. , there is no other wood, even the windows are iron frames, and a lot of isolation treatments are even done to prevent fire.

"Let the courtiers enter the palace." After Zhu Yijun sat firmly, he began to go to court for the first time after the construction of the Ming Dynasty Palace. As Tishuai Zhao Mengyou whipped his whip, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty began to file in.

The Wenhua Hall inside the Zuoshun Gate is actually very small because it houses the Wenyuan Pavilion, the Documentary Room, the Imperial Palace and other cabinet functions. When regular court meetings are held in the Wenhua Hall, courtiers even have to queue up to the Donghua Gate. It's the Donghua Gate where every time a new Enke Jinshi is announced.

The Huangji Hall was much larger, and the court meeting could finally be held as scheduled.

After the ministers saw the ceremony, the first one to greet was the Sanniang. After all, the emperor met with the Sanniang on the foundation last time, which was detrimental to the majesty of the court. Now that the palace was completed, it was natural to summon her again. The provincial Beilu looked down upon her. heart of.

Jiutianchang opens the palace, and all nations pay homage to Mianqi.

The third lady walked through the solemn Huangji Gate Square step by step. On both sides were civil and military courtiers and red-helmeted generals. Flags were waving, drums and horns were blaring. She stood in front of the Huangji Palace with a confused look on her face. , is this place really inhabited by people?It’s really extravagant, no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor.

The eunuch didn't push her, and waited for the third lady to come to her senses. The gentlemen in the Ministry of Etiquette had racked their brains to arrange this, wasn't it just for this effect?
The third lady suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was on her way to court. She climbed up the stairs and entered the Huangji Palace.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live your Majesty." The third lady bowed five times and kowtowed three times, bowed her head in a big salute, and bowed her head in an extremely respectful manner.

The Sanniangzi didn't think there was anything detrimental to the emperor's majesty by being received on the foundation. As long as Qi Jiguang's 12 Beijing troops were still there, even if they were in a thatched house, the emperor would still have majesty. If the capital was invaded one after another, no matter how gorgeous it was, Majestic, without any majesty.

The Ministry of Etiquette arranged for her to come to Beijing for an audience at this time. Naturally, they had their own ideas, whether it was to shock or show off, she did not turn a blind eye, but chose to cooperate.

Sanniangzi came to Beijing with a mission.

The Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more domineering. The Sanniangzi does not want the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and Anda Khan to continue. Anda Khan is getting old. Even Changshengtian is planning to abandon it and switch to Buddhism. He has lost the bravery of his youth and the green sea of ​​the past. Such arrogance, more and more stubborn, more and more wanton.

The main purpose of Sanniangzi's visit to Beijing was to express the Western Tatars' obedience, secondly to determine the share of this year's wool trade, and thirdly, to present a congratulatory form on behalf of Anda Khan to congratulate the Ming Emperor on his upcoming wedding.

"Mrs. Zhongshun, I heard that Tuman Khan asked Anda Khan for help. Anda Khan warmly received Tuman Khan's envoy and planned to have an alliance in Yingchang. Is this the case?" Zhu Yijun did not let Sanniang be freed, but I asked about a big thing.

Because the Ming Dynasty was pressing hard in Liaodong, Tuman Khan tried his best to stop the Ming army. Therefore, Tuman Khan, the great khan of the clan, asked Anda Khan for help. Anda Khan readily agreed and planned to In Yingchang Huimeng.

Yingchang is where the palace of Hu Yuanlu is located, and the place where Emperor Yuan Shun, the last emperor of Hu Yuan's unified regime, died. This place is at the pass of Daxianbei Mountain, and it is the place where Qi Jiguang strategically attacked.

Now, the Eastern and Western Tatars are planning to form an alliance in Yingchang.

"It's true." Sanniangzi secretly thought that something was not right. As expected, the court knew about Tuman Khan's dispatch of envoys, and also knew that Anda Khan had agreed to the conditions.

Duntai Yuanhou, who was active on the grassland, went deep into the prison camp to investigate, and became more and more strict about the movements of the grassland. An intelligence network laid by Duntai Yuanhou spread over the grassland.

"It seems that the tribute issue has ended today. It started in the fifth year of Longqing and stopped in the fifth year of Wanli. I owe a debt to the late emperor for entrusting Sheji." Zhu Yijun nodded and said not very concerned.

Since Anda Khan wants to maintain their common interests of the same clan and origin, then the Ming Dynasty's tribute and wool business should just stop here.

Daming can bear this loss, but I don’t know if Anda Khan can bear it.

Wang Chonggu's expression remained unmoved. He had already communicated in depth with His Majesty about the Sanniang's entry into the capital the day before. His Majesty was like an old fox, pretending to be confused and deliberately putting pressure on the Sanniang.

"Your Majesty, King Shunyi agreed to Tuman Khan's invitation in June, but five months have passed and King Shunyi has not used any troops or horses. Please let your Majesty know clearly that Shunyi has been invited by the Great Khan. The king had no choice but to comply, and he indeed agreed, but did not specify a specific time. Even though Tuman Khan urged him repeatedly, King Shunyi still had concerns, so he sent his wife to the court to make a detailed report." The third lady answered her majesty's questions respectfully. .

Anda Khan provides all support except support.

Anda Khan was also waiting and watching. The Ming army was powerful, and its invasion was like fire. Anda Khan complained to the court on the grounds that he had to comply with the request of the suzerain Khan. The Ming army was in vain, extremely weak, and was beaten every step of the way. If he retreats, then of course Anda Khan will participate in it at the right time and take the opportunity to make some money.

It has been two months since the Ming Army arrived at Daningwei. During this period, Tuman Khan neither lost nor won, because they did not engage in battle with the Ming Army. Only the Ming Army was building camps and forts, eating away at Tuman Khan bit by bit. , faced with this strategy of overwhelming and crushing, Tuman Khan didn't even have a chance to fight to the death.

How desperate is this?

Such a battle situation made Anda Khan afraid to act without permission.

In a war like this, neither side should be offended, but both sides should be offended. The third lady's petition to the court showed that Anda Khan finally figured out how to stand in line. If he doesn't stand in line, there will be no team to stand in.

Zhu Yijun smiled after hearing this and said: "Pingshen, what Mrs. Zhongshun means is that Anda Khan asked the court for benefits, so he refused to send troops to help and took advantage of the situation? What benefits does Anda Khan want?"

Taking advantage of the situation, the imperial court would have to pay a price for not allowing Anda Khan to help Tuman Khan. As for the price, it mainly depends on the situation on the battlefield.

Zhu Yijun agreed to be robbed by An Dahan in order to provide help to Qi Jiguang on the front line, eliminate possible reinforcements, and make the Ming army's military operations go smoothly.

As the supreme emperor, it was certainly unpleasant to be ridden on the neck to shit, but for the sake of strategy, Zhu Yijun could simply give in.

Sanniangzi finally showed a troubled look. In this regard, Sanniangzi and Ada Khan had differences, and the differences were huge.

Anda Khan himself made very excessive demands. He asked the Ming court to give him a customs clearance document and the governor's golden seal to allow him to travel from the Hexi Corridor to Xining. Secondly, he asked the Ming Dynasty to recognize the sphere of influence of the Ming Jin Kingdom, especially the Hetao issue. These two conditions, One was clearly rejected by the emperor, and the other was something the Ming Dynasty had always wanted to do.

Sanniangzi didn’t think that the Ming court would agree, but the agreement would be nothing more than a piece of paper, and it would be worthless when the time came to break up the relationship.

The Sanniangzi is more inclined to expand the wool trade, especially the price concessions on some goods such as salt and cooking pots. This is a real benefit. The Sanniangzi has met Zhu Yijun and knows who the emperor is.

His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, received foreign envoys on the foundation, which fully demonstrated that this emperor's mind was smaller than a needle and he was very vengeful!

At the moment, the Ming Dynasty is attacking Tuman Khan. If Anda Khan goes too far, he will definitely be recorded and we will make a list together in the future.

When the time comes, Anda Khan will be reduced to ashes. The third lady will not be treated like Princess Yang of Qi. She can still serve the winner. The third lady will only be killed, and the Ming Emperor will not lack her.

The Third Lady hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered my wife to go to Beijing to express my love. I am just afraid that the higher country will misunderstand me. I have nothing else to ask for. I also ask for your Majesty's understanding."

She still chose her own conditions, not Anda Khan's rhetoric, and profited from business, instead of pressing the emperor's head to make him surrender.

At this moment, the emperor relented. Later, when the emperor made a strong move and Anda Khan died, how would the various tribes of the huge Jin Kingdom deal with themselves? Could it be that they could not follow the example of their ancestors and move westwards?

"Is there nothing else to ask for?" Zhu Yijun asked playfully.

He found that this third lady was a bit humbled by her ability to stay on the grassland. The third lady had the necessary moral character for a politician and was shameless.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This spring the grassland is dry. This year's autumn and winter are coming earlier than in previous years. The cattle and sheep on the grassland have frozen to death and starved to death under the wrath of the Changshengtian. I beg your Majesty to show mercy. The grassland is in urgent need of salt and iron. Pot, to survive the harsh winter, I beg your majesty for mercy." The third lady begged pitifully for a favor.

A set of silky little combos transformed the situation of taking advantage of the situation into the emperor's benevolent government and the people of Rouyuan. Such a change changed the situation from asking for rewards to begging for mercy from the emperor. In this way, the emperor gained face and Beiqi gained benefits. With Li Zi, everyone has an explanation.

"I heard about the drought in the grassland and the air-conditioning dropped early this year. Since this is the case, I will discuss with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household about the matter of salting the pot. Thank you, Uncle Zong." Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Ziqiang.

"Thank you for your kindness, your majesty. I will definitely spread your majesty's benevolence on the grassland." The third lady breathed a long sigh of relief, and the emperor set the tone. The people below are easy to do. The emperor did not relent, and talked with the Ministry of Rites and The Ministry of Finance has been talking about it for 1 years, but it’s all in vain.

Zhu Yijun was willing to give in, but he still didn't want to increase the burden on Qi Jiguang's campaign in Liaodong. The diplomatic handling here was unfavorable, which led to the war being unsatisfactory. That was the court's incompetence.

Anda Khan is extremely lucky to have found such a virtuous wife.

　Arms sales during wartime are very profitable. For example, in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the same model of drone used by both sides sold for as much as $19, but its actual cost was no more than $[-].Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
