It is not easy for Chataiji to refute this statement in person, because it is also very common in Mongolia to lead troops to congratulate the heirs, or the various great khans and small khans of Mongolia often bring not a small number of soldiers and horses to participate in the ceremonies of the heirs of other great khans and small khans.

In this case, what is so strange that Gao Shishi came to canonize the king of Shunyi on behalf of the Ming Emperor and brought some soldiers and horses?

It can't be said that the previous Ming envoys generally didn't bring many soldiers, and he couldn't lead troops if he was pragmatic. If Chataiji objected to this, Gao Shishi could directly use the sentence "leading the troops to show that he attaches importance to it."

Besides, the heir of King Shunyi, whether it is for the Ming Dynasty or for Tumut, is indeed a very important event, and there is nothing unreasonable to come to celebrate with soldiers and horses.

Chataiji had no choice but to change the topic, but although he was already a famous general at the level of a wise man among the Mongols, it was still inevitable that he would act and speak directly, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he went directly to the topic: "The envoy came, and I, Tumut, should have gathered all the troops to greet him, but the envoy came too early...... Now who will be the Chechen Khan, I, Tumut, have not yet been decided, and the envoy is only afraid that he will have to delay a lot of time in Tumut and wait. ”

Oh? I'm going to come here and wait for you to elect Chechen Khan? Hehe......

In history, the Ming Dynasty's canonization of the Shunyi King, Gao Pragmatic is still relatively clear, if according to the original history, the Ming Dynasty first waited for Tumut himself to elect Chechen Khan, and then named him the King of Shunyi, it is also a fact.

In the original history, the king of Shunyi was sealed from the beginning of Altan Khan, through Huang Taiji, Tulik, to Bu lost the rabbit heir, a total of four generations, seventy or eighty years.

At the beginning of the tribute, the Ming Dynasty gave the seal to the Altan Khan for "borrowing the power of its tribes", giving him the power to preside over the tributary market, and stipulated: the three tributes of Xuanda and Hetao were all unified by the king of Shunyi to write the table and play the progress; All rewards were received by the king of Shunyi and forwarded to the heads of the tribes; The promotion of the positions of the heads of the various ministries was also requested by the king of Shunyi in the era of tribute, and then handled at the discretion of the Ming Dynasty; The king of Shunyi paid tribute first, and then allowed the market to open.

In addition, according to the Ming-Mongolian agreement, the king of Shunyi formulated his own relevant decrees, and the tribal people who violated the tribute city in Mongolia were punished by the king of Shunyi in accordance with Mongolian law.

In this way, on the one hand, because the king of Shunyi holds the power of the tribute exchange market with the Ming Dynasty, has the title of the king, and holds the seal of the king, which means that the king of Shunyi has controlled the tributary power, so "the right to be able to control the city reward", so it has also led to a fierce struggle for the succession to the throne of Shunyi in Mongolia.

On the other hand, as the person in charge and host of the Mongolian side of the affairs of the tribute city, whether the king of Shunyi can successfully succeed to the throne is directly related to the maintenance of the relationship between Ming and Mongolia and the peace of the tribute city, as well as the stability of the border defense of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in order to ensure its own interests, the Ming Dynasty has also been actively influencing and intervening in the heirs of King Shunyi.

The matter of the three ladies and the fourth marrying the king of Shunyi has been expressed before, and will not be repeated. only said what happened after Bu Lost Rabbit and the third lady finally got married.

In June of the following year of their marriage, the tribe gathered to ask for the title of Daming, but the third lady of Zhongshun died of illness at this time, and the three ladies plundered the gold and silver of the three ladies to the rabbit, intending to be crowned.

In the face of the complicated situation, the Ming Dynasty sent people to Mongolia, on the one hand to comfort the mourning, on the other hand, to secretly teach strategies, joint with their different aspirations, using the interests of the tribute city, so that the tribes restrained each other, and put pressure on Su Nang, making it clear that "I have an appointment, the king is long, and the tribe returns to the heart." If you rebel against the alliance, the three branches and twelve departments will denounce it, what is the right word? Besides, my Celestial Dynasty issued a seal, from the Erlun order, if you don't listen, it will be against the Heavenly Dynasty" - that is, the attitude of opposing Su Nang to be the king, Su Nang was forced to give up.

The role of the Ming Dynasty, as Tu Zongjun, the governor who personally handled the matter at that time, reported to the Ming court afterwards: "The reward of the city of China is enough to show grace, and the punishment for violating the order is enough to demonstrate. ”

In September, the leaders of the various departments that ended the dispute gathered and asked for a seal for the loss of the rabbit, and the Ming court issued a decree to allow it. However, Bu Lost Rabbit delayed in order to increase the reward for tribute, and it was not until June of the following year, that is, the 41st year of Wanli, that the heir ceremony was held.

"Sanyun Preparation Examination" records the situation of the seal: "It is set to be ordered on the ninth day of the first month of June. At the end of the period, the system is upstairs in the horse market and looks at it by the threshold. Su Bao has tens of thousands of riders to gather first, at noon, Bu lost the rabbit sat under the big curtain, the twelve tribes galloped in the wind, filled the valley and covered the wilderness, into the banquet tent I set up. The story, the king of captives is in this Pengwai Ling, Peng is still two miles away from the secret door, and the Dragon Pavilion will go out of the secret door. Dai Yanchun, the remnant of the Chinese army, said: "The Celestial Empire is ordered not to ambush the city, but to welcome the banquet recklessly, not physically." 'Spread the chief of Bu, quite difficult, did not dare to resist, so he led the leaders to the dragon pavilion in front of the bow, with the first top of the bow to thank the end, but also in the pavilion, riding a horse to lead. After the banquet, bow and thank you, and finish the ceremony. ”

In this way, although Bu Lost Rabbit's heir was full of twists and turns, due to the multi-faceted intervention of the Ming Dynasty, he was finally crowned the king of Shunyi until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

From the process of the heirship of King Shunyi in this original history, Gao pragmatic summarized the following points:

The first is that the process of sealing the heirs of the three kings of Huangtaiji, Lalik, and Bu Lost Rabbit is basically the same, that is, after the death of the former king, the Mongolian envoy reported to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming gave sacrifices after receiving the report.

First of all, the tribal leader was succeeded by the eldest son according to the primogeniture system, and then according to the tribute system with the Ming Dynasty, the prince of Shunyi should also be inherited by the tribal leader. But the heir to the prince must first marry the three ladies, and then gather the leaders of the departments to discuss, get everyone's support, and then jointly sign an envoy to ask for the title of Daming.

The Ming border officials played the imperial court, and the Ming court issued an edict and sent a special person to the side, and the Ming governor presided over the heir ceremony. The new king led the leaders of the tribes to receive the reward at the designated place and accept the edict. Finally, the new king entered the horses and expressed his gratitude.

In this process, the inheritance of the eldest son to the position of tribal leader, just like the consultation of the kings of Kurultai in the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, should be carried out in accordance with Mongolian customary law, and the rest of the procedures should be based on the requirements and arrangements of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty ensured the smooth succession to the throne of Shunyi through these strict procedures.

The second is that the successive Shunyi kings have inherited the title of Chechen Khan. According to Mongolian historical records such as "The Origin of Mongolia", in the sixth year of Wanli, Altan Khan met with Sonam Gyatso, the leader of the Yellow Sect in Tibet, and the two sides gave each other titles, and the last of the long list of titles given by Sonam Gyatso to Alta was "Chechen Khan".

This title is derived from the Khan name "Xue Chan" of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, because I myself called myself Kublai Khan when he introduced Tibetan Buddhism. Judging from the records of the Ming people, this title was inherited by his successors.

In the eleventh year of Wanli, when the Ming Dynasty named Huang Taiji as the king of Shunyi, Huang Taiji was already called Chechen Khan, "Huang Taiji Shuai Chief Nan Tasu and other more than 300 people were on standby to kill Hu Bao." At that time, Huang Taiji also changed his name to Qiqing Hayun...... In July, Huang Taiji paid tribute, and then Fu called the beggar Qingha, and obeyed the ear contained in the edict.

Huang Taiji's son Pullik is also known as Qiqingha, "Wanli Martial Arts Record" contains: "At the end of July, Shunyi King Qiqingha spread from Long Beach to the sale of gold water. Qi Qingha is also a pull. ”

"Shenzong Records" also said that in November of the 17th year of Wanli, "Shunyi King Qi Qingha, Lady Zhongshun, Dragon and Tiger General Yike Huang Taiji and others supported the people to go west." ”

As for the Bu Lost Rabbit after Pulling Lick, because it was at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Pragmatic did not see any record of him having the title of Qiqingha, but from the above circumstances, it should be the same.

From this point of view, "Chechen Khan" is the exclusive title of the lord of Tumut, and after Altan Khan, all those who hold the power of the Tumut tribe also inherit this title.

As the eldest son and grandson of Altan Khan, Huang Taiji, Pullik, and Bu Lost Rabbit were the heirs of the lords of the Tumut tribe at that time, and they all had the title of "Qiqingha".

Within Mongolia, they called Qiqingha the lord of Tumut first, and the heir of the Ming Dynasty named the king of Shunyi and recognized him as the lord of Tumut.

Therefore, the Ming side recorded that Huang Taiji had changed his name to Qiqingha before paying tribute, and Pullik had also "established himself as king" before accepting the Ming edict. This is self-evident, because it is inconceivable that the Ming Dynasty would entitle a person who did not become the lord of Tumut to be the king of Shunyi.

In this sense, the succession of the Shunyi prince actually became the inheritance and confirmation of the lord of the Tumut tribe. From the above process, it can be seen that the attitude of the Ming Dynasty directly or indirectly influenced the succession of the lord of Tumut. In a sense, the lords of the Tumut tribe became right-wing co-lords, which has been passed down for generations since Altan Khan.

Chataiji's statement at this time is to indicate to Gao Shishi: Who to choose as Chechen Khan is my Tumut's internal affairs, although Daming is the "leader", but you should not meddle in this matter.

However, Gao Pragmatism will obviously not be as "honest" as the Ming Dynasty in history.

Therefore, he smiled and said, "Who does Chechen Khan is naturally Tumut's own business, and it should be decided by the Tumut people, but ......"

Everything is afraid of "but", and Chataiji's heart suddenly hangs.

Sure enough, Gao Pragmatic smiled faintly: "There is one thing that the envoy must remind you that if the Ming Dynasty cannot approve the candidate of Chechen Khan, Chechen Khan will not be canonized by the King of Shunyi - in other words, he will be a Chechen Khan who cannot control the power of the Tonggong market." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Shishi looked directly into Chataiji's eyes and asked word by word: "Can the Tumut people today accept such a Chechen Khan?" ”
