Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 348 Anti-customer-oriented?

The rain outside the window became more and more urgent, but in the hall, everyone's expressions became solemn.

Ning Yang Bo and Chen Mao nodded first and said.

"Second Lord is right. The mutual market is not feasible. The thieves are cunning. Once the mutual market is opened, there will inevitably be many disasters. Now that Daming has finally repelled the captives, how can we open the mutual market again and help them recover."

"What's more, now that the Supreme Emperor is in Yexian's hands, if the mutual market is opened for Tuotuobuhua, it will definitely make it more difficult for the third master and the others to negotiate."

For Chen Mao, the mutual market means compromise, so he is completely opposed to it.

His words also won the support of Ren Li: "What Uncle Ningyang said is true, the old man has read the memorials of Honglu Temple, and the so-called Mongolian special envoy spoke arrogantly, and he simply didn't take me seriously. Things cannot be resolved.”

However, compared to their resolute attitude, Luo Tong was very cautious, hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"The request made by the Mongolian special envoy is certainly too much, but in Luo's view, it is asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the spot. If they are willing to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty and accept the canonization, then opening the market may ease the burden. Border tensions, by the way, are not without benefits."

Seeing that Chen Mao and the others looked unhappy, Luo Tong continued to add.

"However, what the second master said is also reasonable. This matter will make it more difficult for the third master to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, but if it is used well, it may not be able to become the third master's help."

Zhang Min was also frowning at first, but when he heard this, he became interested and asked.

"What does Master Luo mean by this, can you elaborate?"

The eyes of Chen Mao and others also fell on Luo Tong at the same time.

After sorting out his language, Luo Tong continued to speak.

"As we all know, our Ming Dynasty is rich in products. Tea, ironware, grain and many other goods are all needed by the Mongolian tribes. The reason why Oala has repeatedly increased the number of tributes before is to defraud these products."

"Since the imperial court has the idea of ​​opening up the mutual market, why can't the object of opening up be Oala?"

"In the Battle of Bauhinia Pass, he was defeated first, and his vitality was greatly injured. It must be the time to recover his vitality. At this time, if Daming is willing to open the exchange market to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, wouldn't he agree?"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and no one spoke.

It seems that this is indeed the truth...

The reason why they didn't think about it before was mainly because they knew in their hearts that the emperor was behind this matter.

Unfortunately, usually speaking, what the emperor wants to do is not good for them.

So this time, they subconsciously put themselves directly on the opposite side, never thinking that they could take advantage of this matter in reverse.

However, Luo Tong is different from them. He has not participated in many things before, so his thinking is relatively flexible.

After puncturing this layer of window paper, Chen Mao and the others looked at each other and began to think about the feasibility of doing so.

After a while, Zhang Min asked first.

"It's reasonable to say so, but the problem is that the reason why the mutual market is opened this time is because Daming and Tuotuobuhua have an appointment first. I am afraid that it will not be passed in the court meeting."

The matter of the mutual market originated from the agreement between Daming and Tuotuobuhua during the War of Oara.

This matter has been discussed in court, generally speaking, there are only two results.

If the courtiers win, the final result is to define the agreement between Wang Wen and Tuotuobuhua as an unauthorized claim, and Wang Wen will bear the responsibility and cancel the mutual market.

If the emperor wins, then Wang Wen is safe and sound, and the courtiers pinch their noses to admit this matter, admit the agreement, and open the market.

Of course, it is also possible that Wang Wen will bear part of the blame, but the mutual market will eventually pass.

But in any case, the mutual market will either open or not, and this agreement will either be recognized or not.

If it is said that Daming finally decided to open the mutual market, but broke the contract and did not open to Tuotuobuhua, but opened to Ye first.

Not to mention that Tuotuobuhua must be furious, even the court can't afford to lose this person.

Luo Tong didn't hesitate much, and said: "This is easy to do, expand the scale of the mutual market, since it is not easy to change people, then add people, anyway, the one participating in the mutual market this time is not Tuotuobuhua, but him The five major tribes under his hand."

"Nominally speaking, the Junggar, Heshuot, Turhut, Durbert and other ministries that make up Oara are also part of the Khan court. Since the court can open to their five major tribes, it can naturally open to them."

After the words fell, Jiang Yi on the side shook his head and said.

"This is changing the soup but not the medicine. It is already difficult to pass the court meeting with the five major tribes. If it is increased, I am afraid it will not be easy."

"What's more, the relationship between Tuotuobuhua and Yexian is well known, and doing so is just deception. Even if the court meeting is passed, Tuotuobuhua can completely ask me to Ming Dynasty on the grounds that these tribes were originally agreed. Do not trade with the tribes of Oara."

This is indeed a problem.

Luo Tong frowned, and after a while, Fang said.

"It makes sense. If this is the case, then we might as well change our thinking. Just now the second master said that if we can't prevent the passage of the mutual market, then we should try our best to delay the return of the Supreme Emperor, right?"

Zhang Min nodded, so Luo Tong continued.

"That being the case, we might as well make welcoming back the Supreme Emperor as a condition for opening the market at the court meeting."

Jiang Yi frowned, hesitantly said: "However, the Supreme Emperor is in Oala and not in the hands of Tuotuobuhua, how can..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Mao.

He looked at Luo Tong thoughtfully, and said.

"As long as this condition is included, then it doesn't matter if you don't agree or not. It's the best if you agree. If you can't do it, you can delay the transaction indefinitely. If you don't agree, then it will be more logical. Push down the matter of the mutual market.”

Luo Tong nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, that's what I mean."

However, Chen Mao continued to ask: "How do you know that the Son of Heaven will not follow suit?"

Luo Tong was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't understand what Chen Mao meant.

Chen Mao shook his head and continued.

"Lord Luo, the old man's experience in the court for so many years is that you should not play such clever things. Don't forget that the reason why we want to block the mutual market is for the safety of the Supreme Emperor."

"If, as you said, it is true that welcoming back the Supreme Emperor is a condition of the mutual market, then we have to help the emperor and help him push the mutual market through the imperial court."

"But once the mutual market is passed, no matter what the additional conditions are, when the news reaches Wala, it will become that Daming agrees to open the mutual market for Tuotuobuhua."

"Especially, the third master and others are still in Wala, and they are at a critical moment of negotiation. Do you think that if you receive this news at this time, will the third master and the others still be able to talk?"

While speaking, Chen Mao's body suddenly leaned forward, his cloudy eyes fixed on Luo Tong, and his tone became extremely stiff.

"To tell you the truth, Lord Luo, the old man doubts now, are you really thinking about the Emperor, or... have other plans?"
