After Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, everyone in the Ming Hall of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace was shocked.

It was Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, who thought that he knew Emperor Chongzhen best, who looked at the emperor's back with an incredulous expression.

It's not that Wang Chengen is so soft-hearted, it's not, as the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, of course he can't be a soft-hearted character.

Wang Chengen, who has a round face and is chubby, is completely different from Cao Huachun and Fang Zhenghua, who are cold and cold, and looks completely kind on the surface.

Wang Chengen entered the palace since he was a child, in the treacherous Forbidden City, since he was able to survive the end of the Wanli Emperor, the chaotic and turbulent Taichang Emperor, especially the era of the Apocalypse Emperor who was full of dangerous and murderous opportunities, and finally stepped into such a high position step by step, how could he not have a few lives under his feet as stepping stones? !

Regarding the life and death fate of the little people in the world, people like Wang Chengen have long seen through it, and they have long been inappropriate.

Especially for the Jurchens of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that it is just a little woman, even if the army of the imperial court will go out of the customs in the future and arrest all the prisoners to kill, he doesn't care.

But this is such a person, at this time, when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's subsequent words, he was taken aback, and his heart was full of all kinds of incredible.

Wang Chengen watched Emperor Chongzhen stride towards the throne, and the extremely familiar back seemed to have become extremely strange all of a sudden.

Could it be that the Emperor's throne can really change a person's temperament?!

Why is the Chongzhen Emperor in front of him so different from the sentimental teenager he grew up watching?

Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, walked up the steps where the throne was, turned around and sat down, glanced at the throne with an expressionless face, and hurriedly lowered his head.

At this time, Hai Lanzhu also came back to his senses from the surprise just now, and when he saw Emperor Chongzhen looking over, he immediately took a few steps forward and said:

"The Emperor—"

As soon as Hai Lanzhu opened her mouth to say this word, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand at her and said, "Don't be impatient, concubine!" ”

Speaking of which, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have to get along with a little woman whose name she didn't even know.

Because in the final analysis, whether it is Horqin's Manzhu Xili or as the daughter of Yue Tuo of the Later Jin State clan, the marriage between them is a typical political marriage, and these two people are innocent.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen proposed to let Yierduqi kill Yue Tuo's daughter after returning to show his sincerity to the Ming Dynasty was just to give a problem to the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes, especially to the Borzigit clan represented by Zhaisang.

Because this time, the arrival of the envoys of the Mongolian tribes of the left wing of Horqin, and the demands they made, really gave him a difficult problem.

If he agreed, then the blockade of the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes that had attached to the Jin Kingdom after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty from Korea to Xuanda to Hezhong would be opened an uncontrollable opening.

No one can guarantee that the materials imported from the Ming Dynasty to the Mongolian tribes of the left wing of Horqin will not eventually fall into the hands of the Jurchen Eight Banners of the Later Jin State.

Since this cannot be guaranteed at the moment, it cannot be easily opened.

However, he could not refuse all at once the demands made by Irduqi or Horqin's left-wing Mongols through the mouth of his noble concubine Hailanzhu.

Under such circumstances, by creating a difficult problem for the Horqin left-wing Mongols and proposing a condition that they could not do and would not dare to do for a while, they would have room for bargaining.

If Ilduqi went back and told Zhaisang, and they really did it, then Emperor Chongzhen would have nothing to hesitate about, and all their requests for mutual markets could be agreed.

Because Yue Tuo and his Red Banner Army are currently stationed in the Tieling area, it is not far from the territory of the Mongolian tribes on the left wing of Horqin.

If Zhaisang really killed the daughter of Yue Tuo, who married into the left wing of Horqin, it would also show that he really wanted to part ways with the Jurchens.

Of course, now that the Chongzhen Emperor has calculated that Zhaisang and his Horqin left-wing Mongols will not dare to do this, at least for a while.

Once Zhaisang did not dare to do this, then Emperor Chongzhen would have a good reason not to provide the Horqin Left Wing Troops with war materials or materials that could be used for armaments.

In this regard, whether it is the concubine Hailanzhu or the full bead ceremony, including Zhaisang, Yilduqi and others, they have nothing to say.

Let's say that after Emperor Chongzhen stopped Hai Lanzhu's words, he looked around the people in the hall and said thoughtfully:

"I regard the world as a family, and now the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes have returned, of course I believe in your sincerity!

"Because Concubine Lan, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Ning were all born in the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes, I have always felt very close to the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes!

"Since the Mongolian tribes of the left wing of Horqin have sent envoys to the court to ask for tribute and mutual markets, there is no reason why I will not agree!

"However, since the temple of the Guochao Dynasty, the Horqin tribes have intermarried with the Jianzhou Ugly Prisoners for several generations, and the relationship is inextricably linked and intertwined——"

Emperor Chongzhen paused for a moment when he said this, and a pair of eyes looked over from the faces of Hai Lanzhu, Manzhu Xili, Yierduqi and others one by one.

In fact, at this time, as long as the other people in the hall were not fools, they had already understood the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's words.

If before, the civil and military courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty were not clear enough about border trade, then in the spring of the third year of Chongzhen, a large number of captives and Jin merchants were publicly executed and hanged in the Jingshi City for the crime of traitor, which made these people feel palpitations when they died.

For the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, especially to the ministers of the Imperial Court and the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the tribes of Outer Mongolia was not an insignificant matter.

If you are not careful, you will be charged with a traitor by those imperial historians.

Let's say that Emperor Chongzhen looked at the faces of those people in the hall one by one, and saw that everyone's faces were solemn, and he had realized what he meant, so he no longer hid it, but said directly:

"The opening up of trade between the Ming and Horqin leftists is certainly beneficial to both sides, but with the relationship between Horqin and Jianlu, the slightest carelessness in this move will lead to the consequences of trade and capital enemies!

"It's not that I don't trust the Horqin left-wing tribes, and it's not that I don't trust my concubine, and you Ilduqi Abaga, it's really that the Horqin left-wing tribes are not monolithic with the other departments! I can't help but worry in my heart! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen finished saying this, the people in the palace were silent, Hai Lanzhu, who originally wanted to speak for the left wing of Horqin, saw that Emperor Chongzhen originally meant this, and knew that the emperor was not completely at ease with the Mongolian tribes of the left wing of Horqin.

In fact, what the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes will do, Hai Lanzhu himself is not sure.

His Majesty the Emperor in front of him once said to Hai Lanzhu that between countries and between nations, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Although this sentence sounds a little cold, the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is a wise saying.

The various departments on the grassland have always been deceitful and divided, and the truth behind them is not exactly that?

Hai Lanzhu knows his father very well and the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes he was born in.

Not to mention his aunt and sister, all of whom were married to the so-called Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji of the Later Jin State, even if the Horqin Left Wing Mongolia and the Jurchens of the Later Jin State did not have this level of intermarriage, as long as the Later Jin State gave enough benefits to the Horqin Left Wing, they would definitely carry out entrepot trade with the Jurchens of the Later Jin State.

Then the grain, iron tools and other strategic materials financed or sold by the Ming Dynasty to the Mongolian tribes of the left wing of Horqin will definitely flow into the Jin State after the establishment of the captivity.

Thinking of this, Hai Lanzhu had already spoken to her lips, but she still didn't say it after all.

Hai Lanzhu was born in Horqin, so she naturally wanted to consider the interests of Horqin, but now she is also a concubine of the Ming Dynasty, and gave birth to a princess for His Majesty the Emperor in front of her.

There is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty is already her new home, and she should also think from the position of the Ming Dynasty and take into account the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, the Jurchen wife whom Manzhu Xili married on the Horqin grassland, that is, the daughter of Yue Tuo mentioned by the emperor, she has never seen it, let alone has no family affection at all.

Hai Lanzhu, who has always liked to read Han Chinese books, has long hated the Jurchens and the various behaviors that are prevalent in the Mongolian tribes.

Ever since she knew that Manzhu Xili had married the niece and granddaughter of Jin Guotiancong Khan, she was very dissatisfied with her brother's marriage.

At present, Manzhu Xili is almost destined to be an official in the Ming Dynasty in the future, if he also has a Jurchen-born wife in Horqin, then what is the matter?

In Hai Lanzhu's heart, the marriage that Manzhu has learned is a problem that must be solved.

Hai Lanzhu was thinking about these questions, while looking at his younger brother who was kneeling on the ground and silent, and at this time, he only heard Emperor Chongzhen continue:

"The Imperial Court and the Ministry of Internal Affairs must understand my will! Between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes of the left wing of Horqin, in the general direction, trade and mutual markets are allowed!

"The salt, tea, sugar, wine, pottery, cloth, silk, porcelain, and glassware produced in the Ming Dynasty can be traded with the Horqin left-wing tribes in unlimited quantities!

"As for the grain, it was limited to rice, wheat and sorghum! Other swords, arrowheads, armor, iron quartermasters, etc., will not be allowed to be traded until the day of the return of Haskan and Agrabar!

"In addition, in view of the fact that the Mongolian steppe tribes do not produce gold, silver, pearls and jade, the trade between our Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes of the left wing of Horqin will be bartered, and unless I have a special purpose, we will never allow the settlement of gold, silver, pearls and jade!"
