Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 94
Since Emperor Taizu expelled Beiyuan and drove the Mongolian Ministry out of Yinshan, Daming's defense line outside the customs has actually been in a state of continuous shrinking.

Beyond the long Great Wall, the Yellow River originates from Ningxia and circles around, forming an area called the Hetao outside the pass.

This plain has flat terrain, lush water and grass, and endless horizons. For the nomads who live by the water, it is a heaven-sent place to thrive.

However, for Daming, it is an extremely tasteless existence.

As early as when Emperor Taizu established the country, he ordered two generals, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong, to take back the Hetao and set up five guards including Dongsheng to guard it.

From a military point of view, controlling the Hetao can keep the enemy far away from Yinshan, and can ensure that Daming is in an advantageous position in the border confrontation.

But at the same time, the price to pay is huge.

The entire Hetao, a plain of hundreds of miles in radius, has no fortifications like the Great Wall to rely on. To form a complete defense force, it needs to invest a huge amount of troops.

Daming is essentially a farming civilization. For the nomads, this grassland is a heaven-sent land, and it cannot bring any output to the people of Daming.

On the contrary, in order to control the Hetao, Daming spends a huge amount of military expenditure on the border every year.

So in the reign of Taizong, Emperor Taizong conquered all the Mongolian ministries, implemented the policy of restraint, and placed them in the Hetao area to consolidate the defense line, while the army of the Ming Benwei kept shrinking.

Later, the three guards of Duoyan surrendered and revolted. Although Taizong repeatedly attacked and conquered, he was not of our race, and it was difficult for him to sincerely surrender.

Until Xuanzong and Renzong years, although Duoyan Sanwei and other cadres surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in name, they actually communicated secretly with the Tatars and Oaras, so the Tatars and Oaras gradually moved south, and gradually turned Hetao into the center of all Mongolian tribes. the place of battle.

By the time of the reign of Tzu Tzu, Hetao had basically been completely out of the control of Daming, allowing Mongolia to come and go freely.

Not to mention anything else, this time, the army will go south first, and its logistics location is Weining Haizi, which is located in the Hetao area near the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

This place is about five hundred miles away from Datong, and the cavalry can reach it in one day with all their strength.

On the endless grasslands, along the curved and wide rivers, countless military tents are located here, and there are countless dots.

This is where the first army camped.

Among the countless military tents, there are three of the largest and most gorgeous ones. In the middle is the military tent of Yexian, and on the two sides are the military tents of his younger brother Boyan Timur and Polo.

The sun slowly sank from the west, the army began to make a fire to cook, and lights were also lit in the large tents everywhere.

In the army tent on the left, there was a tall man named Ha Ming. He was the only one who survived the civil service and served by the emperor's side. The other was Yuan Bin.

Haming watched the maid who came to deliver the meal leave, and then carefully tried the dishes on the table one by one with the silver needle in his hand, and then came to the couch and respectfully said to the emperor in the blue dragon robe.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Sitting on the couch, Zhu Qizhen woke up when he heard the call, looked at the flickering candle, and asked, "Ha Ming, what time is it?"

"Go back to the emperor, it's time for Xu."

Haming sighed softly in his heart, looking at Tianzi's trance, he was worried.

Since the civil engineering incident, the emperor has become like this. He is in a daze every day, not knowing what he is thinking, and it is frightening to see.

"Xu Shi... that day was also Xu Shi..."

Zhu Qizhen muttered silently, as if he had remembered something, a look of pain appeared on his face, and after a while, Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked Haming.

"Tomorrow, is it the new day?"

Haming nodded, these days they counted the days every day, and now it has been half a month since the civil engineering change.

After thinking about it, Haming still said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much, the last time Yue Qian and the others came over, it's not like they said that the Empress Dowager has got the news and will try her best to turn around. How long will it take you to return to the capital, the imperial court is still waiting for you to go back and avenge this arrow!"

Vengeance?
A wry smile appeared on Zhu Qizhen's face, and he said, "I've come to such a point, and what kind of revenge is there? It's just a matter of time."

Seeing the lonely appearance of the Son of Heaven, Haming couldn't help but feel anxious for a while.

He also knew that the change in civil engineering had dealt a huge blow to the Son of Heaven, and it almost abruptly interrupted all the pride of the Son of Heaven.

The current emperor, how can he still have the ambition when he went on the expedition, he just wants to go through the day and live in a daze.

But it can't go on like this!
If things go on like this, if there is something wrong with the Son of Heaven, wouldn't those who follow the Son of Heaven also lose their lives?

Turning his head, Haming said, "Your Majesty, I dare to say something, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the empress dowager and the empress in the palace."

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's expression moved, but he didn't speak.

There is a door...

Seeing this situation, Ha Ming quickly said: "Think about it, Your Majesty, although we haven't seen the envoy these days, but the items sent by the Empress, the winter clothes and dragon robes, are all woven by hand, so it can be seen that the Empress has always cared about you. Woolen cloth!"

"Besides, there is the Empress Dowager. She is your only son. If you can't go back, won't she die alone? So even for the sake of the two empresses, you have to work hard!"

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a while, and finally turned into a sigh, and said: "You don't have to say it, I understand that I have already sorry for the country, how can I be sorry for my mother and queen? If so, wouldn't it be unfilial and unkind?"

Seeing that the emperor finally raised his spirits, Haming slowly calmed down and continued to persuade.

"Your Majesty, the sage Yun, when the heavens will entrust the people with great responsibilities, you must first work hard on your heart and mind, and work your muscles and bones. This is not certain, it is God who is testing you. "

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, if I can go back to Beijing, I will definitely not treat you and Yuan Bin badly."

Haming then bowed deeply: "Chen Xie the Emperor."

After such a conversation, most of the candles had been lit, and Haming got up and waited for Zhu Qizhen to come to the table for dinner.

Zhu Qizhen picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites, and then heard a loud noise outside, and then the big tent was opened, and a man with a gloomy complexion and the appearance of a servant in a python robe walked in.

"Slave Xi Ning, please greet the emperor."

Although the python-robed waiter said his greetings, his face was arrogant, and he only cupped his hands, without any real intention of greeting.

Zhu Qizhen's face was a little ugly, but he also understood that people had to bow their heads when they were under the eaves.

Although this Xi Ning used to be an eunuch in the palace, but now that he has taken refuge with him, he is deeply trusted and has become more and more rude in front of him.

Resisting the attack, Zhu Qizhen put down the chopsticks with a cold face, and was too lazy to talk nonsense, and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

Xi Ning looked at the appearance of this big boy who wanted to have an attack but had to endure it, and only felt at ease in his heart.

The more and more he felt that it was right for him to take refuge in the first place, otherwise, he, a humble eunuch, would never have the chance to see the dignified and dignified child appearing to compromise in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Rong Qi, this servant is here because she has a happy event to tell the Emperor."

Taking two steps forward, Xi Ning sat down on his own, and then said with a smile.

"The emperor is now invited by the Taishi to be a guest. It is a good opportunity for Daming and Oara to make friends with each other. The Taishi has always admired Daming, so he decided to marry his own sister to you. Immediately send the emperor back to Beijing, you say, isn't this a big happy event?"
