Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 828
Zhongyizhao is currently the only temple in Tuotuo City. It was built by Chataiji himself, so it is a temple with symbolic significance, which symbolizes that the top leaders of Tumote have completely sided with the Yellow Sect.

Of course, this is also a way for Chataiji to show his loyalty to Alta.

Chataiji's financial resources are limited, and it is far from being able to compare with Hannaji, so this temple is not very big, and it is just an ordinary small temple on Daming's side.

However, the small temple is still divided into the front hall, the main hall, the back hall and two side halls on the left and right. The high-arched "Gao Buddha" is enshrined in the left side hall.

It stands to reason that if there are ancestors in the family who enter the temple, it should be vigorously publicized for high-level pragmatics, just like Wei Zhongxian in history. Everyone in the world knows that there are officials all over the world who built shrines for him.

However, Gao Wushi is not nine thousand years old. Although the Mongols carried Gao Gong into the Buddhist temple, although it is somewhat different from the Jiansheng Temple, Gao Wushi still needs to consider the possible reactions after this incident is reported to Ming Dynasty.

Normally speaking, there should be no serious problems. After all, Buddhist temples usually only commemorate merits and virtues, and it is unlikely to remind people of situations such as winning people's hearts and conspiring to rebel.

But the problem is that this Buddhist temple was built by the Mongols, and the statue of Gao Gong was also brought in by the Mongols, so it is worth looking into it, if someone is framed and said that Gao Gong betrayed the interests of Ming Dynasty, it will be more or less troublesome .

Therefore, Gao Yushi decided to keep a low profile for the time being, and discuss the situation with Zhu Yijun first after returning to Beijing.

To be an official, you must be cautious, and be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. Although Zhu Yijun has a good relationship with him, and has a lot of affection for Gao Gong, but there is a saying that everyone's words make money, and he can destroy his bones, so he can try not to have a bad impression in front of Zhu Yijun , is still very important.

The high-arched statue itself is not tall - that's for sure, don't you want to be more like the Buddha than the Buddha in the Daxiong Hall?

However, the appearance of this statue is very similar to Gao Gong, especially this statue is not as kind-hearted as the portrait of the Mongolian Gao Wenzheng that Gao Yushi saw before, but slightly frowning, with his head lowered slightly Look, it seems to be thinking about something.

It's very interesting to lower your head slightly, it just happens to look down at the people who came to worship him.

When Gao Wushi raised his head before bowing down, he seemed to see Uncle San frowning at him, as if he was asking him: You came to see me again today, what do you want to say?

In an instant, Sanbo's old voice, appearance and smile came to his heart together, and Gao Wushi's eyes were hazy for a while.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and bowed down.

"Sanbo, I am here for the safety of the northern border of Daming." Gao Wu said silently in his heart: "Since you have become a Buddha in Mongolia, please protect your nephew and complete this task for Daming and yourself. event."

After three kowtows, Gao Yushi stood up with a serious face, looked at the statue of Sanbo for a while, and walked aside silently.

Standing behind him, Chataiji also came forward with three sticks of incense, bowed, offered incense, and then came back to worship respectfully in front of the futon, showing no trace of arrogance.

Gao Wushi was a little surprised, when Qia Taiji got up, all his generals also came forward to offer incense and kowtow one by one.

Chataiji walked to Gao Yushi's side, saw that there was a trace of inquiry in his usually calm eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Is the imperial envoy strange?"

"It's a little unexpected." Gao Wushi replied bluntly.

"Actually, the imperial envoy should not be surprised." Chataiji sighed, and said: "The Great Khan spent 40 years just seeking to exchange tribute with the Ming Dynasty. Maybe you Han people don't know how much effort you put in, but... …I see."

He looked into Gao Yushi's eyes and said, "So, I erected a statue for Gaogong and moved it into Zhongyizhao, hoping that he could receive the incense of the Tumed people forever."

Gao Wushi remained silent, nodded his head after a while, and said, "Thank you."

Chataiji waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to thank for that. Compared with Duke Gao's kindness to me, Tumot, this small matter of mine is nothing. Imperial envoy...Mr. Gao, the kindness of Duke Gao in the past years You are the nephew of Lord Gao. I heard that the whole world regards you as his heir, so I hope you Be kind to Tumed like Duke Gao, and the people of Tumed will treat you like Duke Gao."

I'm not dead yet, so I don't really want to enter the temple yet...

Of course, this is a joke.Gao Wushi understood what Chataiji meant, nodded lightly, and said, "Thank you for your expectation. I can also ask you to rest assured that I have no malice towards Tumed, even if... meddling in Tumed Chechen Khan's matter I proposed it to the emperor, but..."

Gao Wushi said sincerely, "Please believe me, I did this not only for Daming, but also for Tumed."

Chataiji was a little surprised, but he couldn't see any flickering or fake signs in his high-practical eyes.

He is a Jebe sharpshooter, his gaze has always been very poisonous, he is confident that nothing can escape his observation with his high-practical eyes, but the high-practical eyes do not flinch at all, just looking at him frankly.

This made him suspicious and unconfident. He frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask why?"

Gao Wushi said without hesitation: "Because Dacheng Taiji is the best candidate for the King of Shunyi no matter whether it is public or private, you can think about it...why?"

Chataiji frowned and said, "I can only think of one thing, that Dacheng Taiji has always been close to Ming."

"This is indeed a very important point, but it's not complete." Gao Wushi smiled slightly, and said, "Qinming is nothing more than being able to keep in touch with me, Daming, but... oh, let me put it bluntly, Even if Xin Ai and Huang Taiji became the King of Shunyi, would he dare not know it personally?"

Chataiji's complexion changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by Mr. Gao's words?"

"That's what it means." Gao Wushi said indifferently: "From the statue of my third uncle entering the temple, we can see how important it is for Tumed to exchange tribute with Daming. If Xinai Huang Taiji really did Shunyi Wang, no matter how dissatisfied he is with Daming, he must persevere in this mutual tribute exchange, and if he wants to have a smooth exchange of tribute, he must act like he is close to Ming, otherwise...you all know how Da Ming does things You know, as long as he shows a little bit of disrespect, the exchange market will stop!"

Chataiji trembled slightly when he was shocked by the words "Mutual market must stop".

But Gao Wushi continued: "At that time, not only will he not be able to become the King of Shunyi, but Chechen Khan's throne may not be secure? May I ask how dare he not know it personally under such circumstances?"

Chataiji quietly swallowed a mouthful of spit, and asked, "Since this is the case, what difference does it make to Daming if he is the king of Shunyi or Dacheng Taiji is the king of Shunyi? Why do you suggest the emperor to intervene in this matter, Mr. Gao?" ?”

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Because Dacheng Taiji has more advantages."

"More advantages?" Chataiji frowned and said, "He... well, with all due respect, Dacheng Taiji has never experienced anything, and as the master of Tumote, I'm afraid he may not be safer than Xinai Huang Taiji. "

"You just think that he is too young, and he has never fought any big battles. The only time he made a big fuss, he was lucky enough to lead to the tribute, right?" Gao Wushi smiled and said: "At the next age It's not big, even much smaller than Dacheng Taiji, but the emperor still sent me as an envoy to Tumot, and gave me full power to preside over the canonization matters."

Chataiji shook his head and said: "How can this be generalized? Mr. Gao, you are the Wenkui of the Han people. I heard that not long ago, you made a great contribution, 'Departing from the south of the country'. Even I, a Mongolian far away in the northern part of the Great Wall, know it." Yes. In the words of your Han people, you are all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, but Dacheng Taiji... is not comparable."

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Chataiji, there is one thing you overlooked."

"What have I overlooked?" Chataiji asked, frowning.

"Anyone who wants to make some achievements and meritorious deeds has a prerequisite, that is, someone is willing to give you the opportunity to show your talents." Gao Yushi said: "For example, I, such as you, are both in this way."

"Is that true for you and me?"

"Naturally." Gao Wushi said: "If I didn't value the late emperor, I wouldn't have the opportunity to be with the emperor. If the emperor didn't know me well, he wouldn't have given me the opportunity to do something like 'Dedicated to Annan', you say Said, if that's the case, even if I have great talent, what's the use of it?"

"And it's the same for you. If in the past, I Da Khan didn't give you the title of Taiji, didn't give you the troops, didn't take you to the expedition... Let me ask, even if you have such abilities, how can you use them?"

Chataiji suddenly nodded and said, "That's a truth. If you don't have the confidence of Da Khan, you can't get rid of it just like a man in the grassland."

"So, whether Dacheng Taiji is capable or not can't be judged just because there are no major events happening now, and I think he is very capable." Gao Yushi said while the iron was hot.

"Very capable?" Chataiji hesitated a little, hesitantly said: "Where did Mr. Gao see it?"

Gao Yushi said categorically: "I saw it 12 years ago... Dacheng Taiji is the first person in Tumed who understands how to deal with me, Da Ming. With this alone, he is far beyond Tumed's many so-called fierce general."

"He is the first person who understands how to deal with Daming?" Chataiji hesitated, "How to deal with Daming?"

Gao Wushi laughed, and said, "It's actually very simple... just obedience."

This word is not very nice, Chataiji frowned slightly.

Gao Yushi didn't seem to see it, and said indifferently: "Tumed's [-] households are only a part of Mongolia. No matter whether its strength has expanded to surpass the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it is still only one of the [-] households in Mongolia. This point, Do you admit it?"

Of course, Chataiji could only admit it, and nodded immediately.

Gao Wushi said again: "That's it. If the Northern Yuan court lost the Central Plains, it would no longer be the co-lord of the world. My Ming Dynasty's status is even higher than that of Beiyuan, and Tumote is only a part of Beiyuan. Ask my Daming Is there anything wrong with claiming vassal status and paying tribute in order to obtain the peace and prosperity of the tribe?"

Even if there is, Chataiji can't say it, because this is my answer's decision, so he can only continue to nod.

Gao Wushi continued: "And does Daming have any needs for Tumed? Ah, maybe you will say that Daming also needs Tumed's cattle and sheep, especially horses... right?"

Chataiji didn't speak, but that was clearly what he meant.

Who knows that Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "Then you are wrong, Daming doesn't need anything... Just think about it, when Daming didn't trade with Tumed in the past, how much more Tumed died every year because of it." People? What about Daming? Will Daming starve to death because he doesn’t trade with Tumed? Of course not, the people of Daming don’t live by eating beef and mutton.”

Chataiji was stupefied by Gao Wushi, and hesitantly said: "What about horses, Daming has always needed horses, and now he buys at least tens of thousands of horses from me, Tumot, every year."

Gao Wushi chuckled, and said, "Horses are necessary, but not necessary—do you know the difference between them? Necessary, it is not enough; necessary, it is better to have them."

He said calmly: "Daming has the Great Wall, border fortified cities, and countless large and small fortresses. Even without horses, the border can still be guarded—I Dahan has tried countless times. Right? So, for Daming, horses are such a need, not a necessity. But whether Daming has any goods, they are all necessary things for Tumed, such as grain, cloth, iron pots, etc. Anything less would be bad, right?"

Seems to be the truth?Chataiji frowned more and more.

Gao Wushi continued: "Under this situation, Tumed's need for Daming is far greater than Daming's demand for Tumed. Dacheng Taiji saw this, so he has always been interested in Daming, and finally because of one point By a small chance, he came to Daming, and with the most obedient performance, he won Daming's trust in him. From then on... oh, you know all this. In order to reward him, I Da Khan even gave the entire West Whistle to him. He—do you think Altan Khan is just to reward him? No, Altan Khan has deeper intentions."

Chataiji was completely led astray by Gao Yushi, and immediately asked after hearing the words: "What's the deep meaning?"

Gao Wushi said indifferently: "Just let him be Chechen Khan."

Chataiji was shocked: "How is it possible?"

"Why is it impossible?" Gao Wushi asked back: "In Mongolia, who can become a profuse khan without strength? But, who is the strongest in the Tumed department? Dacheng Taiji!"

"But Xin Ai Huang Taiji..."

"How many troops and troops does he have?" Gao Wushi continued to ask: "Besides, who owns Dabansheng City, the richest place in Mongolia? You should know that even Fengzhou Chuan Wangting Guihua City is not as good as Daban promotes the city to become rich... May I ask, if the Great Khan didn't hope that Dacheng Taiji would be the Chechen Khan, how could he give him such a powerful power alone? Do you think that with the great Khan's brilliance and martial arts, it would be just because of love? Dacheng Taiji, just give him such strength? Is Dahan not afraid, and the new Chechen Khan is jealous of Dacheng Taiji's strength, so he will kill him?"

Chataiji was so startled that sweat came out, and he murmured, "Big sweat...is that what you mean?"

Gao Wushi continued to increase, and said: "Let me ask you again, the Great Khan gave Dacheng Taiji, the first city in Mongolia, to Dacheng Taiji, but where did Xin Ai Huang Taiji go?"

Chataiji subconsciously said: "Go to the east and guard Tumen."

After he uttered these words, he was startled all of a sudden - the sweat sent Xin Ai so far, did he really not want him to succeed Khan?

Gao Pragmatic and just rightly said: "Look, I, Ming Dynasty, would never throw the crown prince alone to the border—the crown prince of the country should naturally stay by the emperor's side to learn the skills of governing the country. What to do at the border, the border only needs the governors and generals It can be guarded, and there is no need for the dignified state reserve to go in person!"

Chataiji was in a panic, and hurriedly said: "But Xinai Huang Taiji is Dacheng Taiji's uncle. He is the eldest son of Dacheng Taiji and the natural heir. I love Huang Taiji and fight against each other."

Gao Wushi said coldly: "Excuse me, what is your department's answer to Khan? Has he ever thought of becoming the Khan of the whole Mongolia?"

"This..." Chataiji broke out in a cold sweat again. Everyone knew this truth, but Da Khan never said it, so no one can talk nonsense.

Gao Wushi snorted and said, "If I Da Khan didn't have such thoughts, then where did the reincarnation of 'Kublai Khan' come from? Chataiji, you don't need me to remind you that Kublai Khan's Khan position is also typed out."

Chataiji lost all strength and murmured: "Khan... Could it be..."

Gao Wushi suddenly shouted: "The intention of the Great Khan is already clear, you claim to be a loyal minister, do you want to go against his intention!"

Chataiji took three steps back in shock, and hurriedly waved his hands: "How could I disobey the Great Khan? I, everything I have is given by the Great Khan, and I listen to the Great Khan for everything!"
-
It should be almost [-] words today, but this is the end of the plot, I don't want to force it.
