Chapter 120: The Messenger of Warat

Compared with the disappointment of the other female dependents, Princess Shangde was indeed very happy. There is only one copy of such a good thing in the entire Daming, which makes the importance of this one even more obvious, and as a result, she became more curious about Yang Chendong who gave the gift.

Why did he give such a valuable thing to himself?

Is it just because she's a princess? But what if the other princesses also asked Yang Chendong to hold a birthday party? What will he do?

The good things piled up like a hill drew a perfect sentence for the birthday party, and then, the ladies used some other food, and then left the palace in twos and threes to go to their own mansion.

Hu Yan also took a carriage back to Hu's mansion. As soon as she entered the door, Yahuan Xiaoqing greeted her with a mysterious face, "Miss, Miss, go back to the room and have a look." Dongshuai will send you a big box. ”

"Big box? Dong Shuai sent it. Hearing this, Hu Yan couldn't help but speed up her feet and returned to her boudoir as if she was trotting. Then, with curiosity and some excitement, she opened the box, and a birthday music box larger than the one Princess Shangde had gotten was displayed in front of her.

Above the box is a wooden horse that can be rotated, and after the switch is moved, the beautiful melody of the birthday song will sound immediately, which makes Hu Yan happy and can't put it down.

"Miss, what is this? Can you make your own voice, or is it so exquisite? Xiaoqing's voice behind her suddenly sounded, and the frightened Hu Yan turned around and blocked her mouth. She clearly remembered what the Snow Lady said, and there was only one thing in the whole Ming Dynasty.

Now, with a better birthday music box in his hands, isn't Yang Chendong guilty of bullying the king?

"Xiaoqing, forget everything you just saw. No matter who asks, you can't say you've seen something like this, you know? Hu Yan said very seriously. The little Qingyun who listened directly was in a fog, she had grown so big, and it was the first time she had seen the young lady talking to herself so solemnly.

After arranging for Xiaoqing not to talk nonsense, Hu Yan walked to the bedside with this beautiful music box, opened the quilt, and plunged into it. In doing so, the sound can't be heard, and she can enjoy the beautiful sound to herself. Of course, the sweeter thing is in her heart, through this incident, she knows that Dongshuai is in her heart, which is the most happy thing.

When Hu Yan was thinking about Dongshuai, Yang Chendong had already left the palace and returned to Yangjiazhuang.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard of Zhuangmen, Yang Chendong took off his five-grade official uniform and said to Hu Mang on the side: "When the news came out, it was said that the young master fell when I fell off the horse and needed to rest for a while." ”

"Ahh Young master, where did you really fall? Hu Mang, who suddenly heard the news, was taken aback, so he looked at Yang Chendong tightly.

"With you all the way, where did you see the young master fall off the horse? It's just a way to be quiet. Yang Chendong smiled bitterly and shook his head. But I also know that this is because Hu Mang cares too much about himself, so he loses his basic judgment.

"Oh, oh." Hu Mang smirked, scratched his head with his hand, agreed, and turned around to do something. It didn't take long for many people in the Jingshi to know that the sixth young master of the Yang family fell and injured himself because he was riding too fast.

The matter reached Wang Zhen's ears through Jinyiwei, and he was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then shook his head with a smile, "This is hiding from something!" That's fine, it's not a good thing to be too outstanding. It seems that I also want the emperor to know. ”

When Wang Zhen went to see Zhu Qizhen and told him about Yang Chendong's fall from his horse, the young emperor quickly figured out the joints, and said with a smile, "It seems that I care too much about Yang Xima, and this concern makes him unbearable." That's it, so arrange for an imperial doctor to go and see, and say what I said, and allow him to rest for a while. ”

After holding a birthday banquet and giving a luxury gift, he finally got rid of Zhu Qizhen's "concern", and Yang Chendong was able to take a breath. Thinking that I could take a good rest and do what I wanted to do, but the situation did not allow it, in February of the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the leader of the Mongolian Warat tribe also sent his younger brother Saikan Wang as an envoy to the capital division of the Ming Dynasty, ostensibly as a tribute, but in fact it was to ask for it.

Speaking of Warat, there is one person who cannot and cannot be bypassed, and he is the leader of Warat.

In the third year of orthodoxy, the fleeing Atai Khan was captured and killed by Tohuan, and the Mongolian plateau was reunited in the hands of the Warats. So far, Tuhuan has laid the foundation for his son to be dominant, and after Tuhuan dies, he will also succeed to the throne.

After also succeeding to the throne, he proclaimed himself the king of Taishi Huai, and all the tribes of Warat belonged to Yexian. As Yexian became more and more powerful, the name of the Great Khan, the Tatar chieftain, became a false name, and he could no longer restrain Yexian. The Warat Department would pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, and the two monarchs and ministers, Tokhtobuhua and Yexian, each sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty. At this time, it has been basically made clear that there is no need to follow the instructions of taking off and not spending for the first time.

At this time, Tatar and Warat formed relations similar to those between North and South Korea today.

Because he was also a cunning Warat chieftain, he was different from other Mongols Geng, but cunning like a rabbit, over time, the power of the Tatar Department was intercepted smaller and smaller, and soon he controlled the Tatars, and conquered Uliangha, unified the three Mongolian tribes, and gradually became the dominant trend of the Warat family on the steppe.

After the unification of Mongolia, he wanted to restore the Great Yuan Dynasty and unify the whole country, so he continued to harass the Ming Dynasty and became a serious border trouble in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhen abused his power, not only did not arrange to strengthen the northern border defense, but accepted bribes from the tile spurs and carried out smuggling transactions with the tile spur nobles.

In order to make a profit, Wang Zhen asked his sworn friend, Guo Jing, the eunuch who guarded Datong, to privately make a large number of arrows every year and give them to the tile spur, and the tile spur gave Wang Zhen a good horse in return. In order to curry favor with the tile thorns, Wang Zhen also gave him gifts and hospitality, and the rewards were thickened.

Since the establishment of the "tribute" relationship with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has sent tribute envoys to the Ming Dynasty every year to carry good horses and other goods, and the Ming Dynasty government has given corresponding rewards according to the amount of tribute items. In general, the value of the reward item should slightly exceed the value of the tributary item, and at the same time, a certain reward should be given to the other party's tribute. Therefore, in order to obtain the wealth of the Central Plains, the tile spur was very willing to come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. According to the original regulations, no more than 50 people were allowed to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year. Later, the desire for the Ming Dynasty's reward grew, and the number of tribute envoys increased day by day.

Just like this time, the king of the journal brought a group of more than 2,500 tribute envoys, and in order to receive more rewards, he falsely reported 3,000 people. And after entering the Beijing Division, from the mouth of the Warat spies who stayed in the Beijing Division, the most common name I heard was Dongshuai Yang Chendong.

Among the Jingshi, when it comes to Yang Chendong, I have to mention the Immortal Residence, and the King of Saikan and the captain of the guard, Tugeer, and his party of five came to this place known as the most delicious and fun place in the Jingshi.

If you really don't enter the immortal residence, you don't know that people can still live like this. The delicacies here are something they haven't eaten before; The music was something they hadn't heard before; Some drinks and desserts were something they hadn't seen before; Even some chess and cards for fun are unheard of by them.

I just want to come here to try it and leave, who knows that as soon as I enter here at noon, it will not be until the curfew closes at night, and then I am a little reluctant to leave, and this is still a picture of unfinished business.

After most of the day, when Toggle went to settle the bill, he had spent a full hundred and twenty taels of silver. I haven't let go of the play yet, and I spent so much, if I tried everything, I'm afraid that the money in my pocket would not be enough to pay the bill.

After the group of five people returned to the post station, the king of the race still had an aftertaste, "Let's go over early tomorrow, find a better location and have a good day, this place is much better than our prairie." ”

"General, the immortal dwelling is not good, but it is not a place where we can afford to consume. What haven't you eaten today? One hundred and twenty taels of silver is gone. Toggle stood aside, looking distressed.

"What? So expensive? When the king heard this, his face also changed. But then he laughed, "I didn't expect the Immortal Residence to make so much money, haha, then this General Yang Xima must meet him." ”

"The general is going to see that Dongshuai?" Toggle couldn't figure out what the king of the magazines meant.

With a smile on his face and an unfathomable expression, "Yes, General Ben is going to bring him business and give him a chance to make a lot of money, hahaha." ”

The Toggle on the side didn't quite understand what the king of the journal meant, but even if the general said so, he went to arrange it. There are not many people in the whole of Warat who are really smarter than the general, and he is very confident in this as the captain of the guard.

In this way, on the morning of the next day, a team of uninvited guests came outside Yangjiazhuang.

The visitors did not take a soft sedan chair like the visit between the Ming officials, but came on a high-headed horse. Dressed in alien clothes, the waist knife hung undisguised by his side, within reach. It seems that if you don't agree with each other, you may draw a knife against each other.

The king of the journal deliberately brought a team of guards, a full twenty people, to the outside of Yangjiazhuang, and the formation was full of formation, which made Yang Wu on duty frown. It's just that when Yang Chendong trained them, he had such targeted training as practicing courage, and he didn't see the slightest fear, but stood in front of this team alone, stretched out his hand and shouted: "This is the place where the prince should wash the horse and Lord Yang, and people will stop." ”

The team naturally stopped, and Toger, as the captain of the guard, naturally greeted him, and shouted to Yang Wu with a high-spirited look: "Go and inform your master, General Warat has arrived, and he will come out to greet him quickly." ”
