After shocking her tribe, Li Ruofan breathed a sigh of relief. Killing people was not a big deal to her, but her tribe was unruly and it would not be easy to really recover them. But no matter what, the situation was still the same. Considered stable.
Immediately, another thing came to her mind.
From now on, the Mongols certainly want to be vassals, but to whom will they be vassals? Without a backer, everything is empty. Who can be entrusted to the Ming Dynasty? That emperor? Such a person although he is extremely valuable, he is also so stupid that people want to beat him up a few times.
Li Ruofan and Zhu Houzhao have known each other for a long time. She already knows Zhu Houzhao too well. Zhu Houzhao is indeed the fate of the young master, but he is by no means a good emperor. Such a person will never be.
Li Ruofan has read Han people's books. The monarchs that Han people yearn for have many qualities, such as loving the people like a son, being steady and dignified, or being diligent in governing. However, these have nothing to do with Zhu Houzhao.
It is not worth it to attach the Mongolian cavalry to such an unreliable person.
Who knows that one day in the future, Wang Jin will come to his side and suddenly change his attitude towards Mongolia.
She fell silent.
" Then a cold look flashed across her eyes, but then she smiled. Of course she couldn't kill him. He was the emperor, and he was precious. If she touched a hair of his head, even though the world was big, she would have no way out. Even Liu Chengfeng would be hunted to the ends of the earth.
¡°But¡it¡¯s not impossible.
Li Ruofan thought of someone coming, so she called a maid and said, "Go and invite Liu Jin."
"Who is Liu Jin?"
Everyone in the Ming Dynasty recognized Liu Jin, but Liu Jin was really unfamiliar to the Mongols. After all, the Han captured many prisoners, including officials, generals, eunuchs, and soldiers. Who would remember this name?
Li Ruofan said calmly: "That eunuch."
There were several eunuchs, but as soon as Li Ruofan mentioned that eunuch, the maid understood that wasn't that the one who was whipped dozens of times by King Khan and sent to feed the horses? It seemed that King Khan had not forgotten him, so she left quickly.
Later, Liu Jin, who was in ragged clothes, came in very hard. He had never suffered so much in his life. His tender flesh was now tanned, and there were many whip marks all over his body. Mongolians despised eunuchs the most and thought that a man It is a shame and a great humiliation to lose even the symbol of a man. Such a person would be better off alive. In addition, although Liu Jin has a way of taking care of people, he cannot take care of horses. As a result, the owners of the horses have to deal with it. My beloved war horse wants to demand justice, even punching and kicking is considered light.
Hearing Li Ruofan's summons, Liu Jin was uneasy. As soon as he entered the tent, he bowed his head and started to cry. He thought in his mind that women are mostly soft-hearted and it was always right for him to cry more. While crying, he kowtowed and raised his voice. Said: "My servant will die ten thousand times, my servant will die ten thousand times"
Li Ruofan looked him up and down, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, then she stood up and said slowly: "Get up and talk."
He spoke very proficient Chinese, and his voice was very pleasant, like the chirping of an oriole.
Liu Jin stood up carefully, with her waist hunched and her head hanging down, making her look like a human.
"I heard that you had an affair with King Liu Chengfeng of Chu?"
"Yes there are some. The King of Chu probably didn't like his slaves, so he was a little harsh on them."
Liu Jin was not sure what Li Ruofan meant by this, so she deliberately made it vague.
Li Ruofan sneered and said: "You lied to Ben Khan? You think Ben Khan doesn't know about those things about you. You are the one who encouraged your emperor to leave the capital this time, just to avoid Liu Chengfeng, right? Let me tell you the truth, Now I have made peace with the King of Chu, and the King of Chu wants me to hand over your majesty and you."
Hearing this, Liu Jin would rather continue to be his stable boy, and said in shock: "No no, the King of Chu has a deep prejudice against slaves. If the slave is handed over to him, he will have to kill the slave. If you are able to serve people, you can still serve tea and water. If the Great Khan does not give up, I am willing to serve the Great Khan for the rest of my life. Please, Great Khan"
Li Ruofan sighed quietly: "You want to follow me? Do you know that I will become the private property of King Chu from now on, so what's the use of following me? Why, are you so afraid of death?"
Liu Jin was even more horrified. Of course he knew what he had committed. Even if Liu Chengfeng didn't deal with him, once he returned to the capital, the Queen Mother would definitely kill him. With his crime, Ling Chi would never be able to escape, not with him. Thousands of cuts on his body could not quell the hatred in his heart. Liu Jin would not go back even if he was beaten to death. He hurriedly said in a tearful voice: "Great Khan, this slave will die forever, this slave"
His lips kept trembling, and his body felt like?Cran, the whole person can't even speak clearly.
Li Ruofan smiled slightly and said, "Let's put it this way, if you want to live, there is only one way."
Liu Jin said: "Please give me some instructions from the Great Khan."
But Li Ruofan pursed his lips slightly, smiled charmingly, and said: "Do you still need me to show you? You know it yourself. Okay, that's it for now. Go down and I will give you a full meal." Put on some nice clothes and have a good rest. It¡¯s only been a few days and it¡¯s time for you to go back. Back off!¡±
Liu Jin was confused and retreated.
On the second day, Li Ruofan took the prime ministers and lieutenants from the army to the Han camp again to discuss the specific details. When Liu Chengfeng saw that Li Ruofan did not send the emperor back, he said dissatisfiedly: "Where are your Majesty's people?"
Li Ruofan said respectfully: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that he has no face to see His Highness the King of Chu, so he asked His Highness to immediately inform the Ming Dynasty court and ask the court to appoint an imperial envoy to come and pick him up. He does not want to wait here for a long time. After someone comes to greet him, He will go directly to the capital, and as for matters here, it will still be left to the King of Chu."
Liu Chengfeng's face looked better. Zhu Houzhao's words were indeed his style. The emperor wanted to save face and would not be able to accept meeting him for a while. It must take some time to adapt.
"In this case, let the capital come to pick him up.
The so-called detailed discussion is actually to make Mongolia accept all Liu Chengfeng's conditions. In fact, the Mongolians don't look dumbfounded at ordinary times, but they are very aware of current affairs at critical moments. This is why, when Taizu and Emperor Wen were there, they The desert was cross-armed and arrogant. As soon as the Ming army penetrated deep into the desert, they immediately changed from regular troops to guerrillas, the kind that wandered resolutely and never dared to attack.
Liu Chengfeng sent away Li Ruofan and others, and then wrote a memorial. The memorial was sent to the capital as an emergency report. The cabinet was immediately excited. Empress Dowager Zhang personally finalized the candidate to welcome the saint, Liu Hui, who was the Minister of Rites at the time.
Liu Hui was naturally in a happy mood. His errand was good. He just went out of Beijing to pick up people from the Mongolian camp. Although the errand was simple, the credit was not small. This was the credit of welcoming the saint. What a great political achievement. He happily led a team of warriors out of the capital and went straight to the Mongolian camp. The Mongols were really honest. When they saw the people coming, they immediately handed over a large number of Han prisoners. Of course Also included was Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was silent all the way. With his temperament, he naturally would not have the joy of surviving a desperate situation. Instead, he felt that a disaster was imminent. He had committed such a big thing, and he could almost imagine the cold eyes he received from the ministers and the rebuke from the Queen Mother after he returned to Beijing. Zhu Houzhao was a face-loving person, and for a young man, the so-called face meant being looked down upon by others. .
Therefore, he was depressed along the way, and sometimes deliberately deserted. After walking ten miles in one day, he asked to rest on the spot, saying that he was not feeling well. The emperor had a decree, and everyone had no choice but to follow it, so they had to camp.
In the camp, Zhu Houzhao couldn't sleep, while Liu Jin stood sideways in front of his couch, constantly guessing the emperor's thoughts.
The emperor does not want to return to Beijing.
Liu Jin knew Zhu Houzhao's thoughts well, so he came up with another bold idea.
He committed a heinous crime. Although Liu Hui did not dare to do anything to him, Liu Jin knew that although the imperial envoy did not touch him, it was because he knew that after returning, the Queen Mother and the court would naturally deal with him. At this time, Liu Hui There is no need to take the risk of falling out with the emperor and do something to him, but it will be completely different once he returns to the capital. By then, he will die without knowing how.
Having reached this point, Liu Jin really wanted to cry. He naturally thought of escaping, but escaping was not safe. He had to add a layer of insurance. As long as the emperor was by his side, he would be absolutely safe.
He looked at Zhu Houzhao with deep eyes, tucked Zhu Houzhao into the quilt with a smile, and said: "The Emperor can return to the capital now, but I see why the Emperor is always depressed. Could it be that after going back to see the ministers and the Queen Mother, the Emperor will not Is it worth being happy?¡±
He deliberately emphasized the tone when talking about Empress Dowager Zhang and the ministers. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he knew that they were the ones who had a headache for the emperor at this time, and the emperor did not know how to deal with it.
Zhu Houzhao was indeed unhappy and said, "Why are you happy? Are you happy to make people laugh?"
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "You deserve to die, Your Majesty. In fact, who in this world dares to laugh at you? You are the Son of Heaven, the most respected person in the world"
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't know what kind of virtue these people are. I just made some small mistakes. They are all as angry as fighting cocks. This time I left the capital without permission. I really don't know what will happen to them this time. "
Liu Jin¡¯s eyes flashed with joy and he said:??Your Majesty, in fact, if your Majesty doesn't want to see them, you don't have to see them. "
"What do you mean by that?"
Liu Jin said: "I know that there is another place in the world. The scenery there is beautiful and very pleasant. Why don't the emperor visit there so that you don't have to see them again."
