Xia Xun didn't stay in Prince Lu's mansion for a long time. King Lu was actually quite polite to him. Most of the vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty were very arrogant. , he doesn’t need to flatter you, but King Lu is not such a prince Xun▲:New Century▲Miao▲Said▲Internet▲【】

This king of Lu... is only 14 years old, has just inherited the throne, and has been given a guard by the emperor's decree.

The previous king of Lu was also a good person, intelligent and elegant, he was polite, and never disturbed the local people.However, the last king of Lu liked illusory things like immortality more than King Qi. He always wanted to become a fairy, so he invited some alchemists to practice alchemy, serve alchemy, and meditate in the mansion all day long. He was poisoned to death by the elixir when he was young.

Fortunately, at that time, he already had a main concubine and a side concubine. The main concubine had nothing to do at that time, but the side concubine gave birth to a son for him. It was not yet full moon, and this child was the little King Lu now. .At the beginning of this year, Little Lu King had just received the golden seal of Emperor Yongle and inherited the position of King Lu. Today was the first time he had welcomed a high-rank court official like Xia Xun. He was even more fearful than Xia Xun. For fear of losing manners.

Under the orders of his mother, the young prince did not dare to drink, and could only use tea instead of wine. That's why he invited all the officials of Prince Lu's mansion to accompany him. Xia Xun looked up and didn't recognize any of them. How could he drink this wine happily ?However, all the officials of King Lu's Mansion had arrived, and he couldn't leave immediately, so he had to sit patiently for more than an hour, seeing that the time was almost right, and then got up to thank him and leave.

King Lu asked to stay again and again, and then he got up to see the guests off in person. When he got up, King Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For Xia Xun, this kind of hospitality was a torment, so why not for him.King Lu sent it to the second gate, and Xia Xun bowed to thank him, and asked King Lu to stay. After all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. If King Lu sent him forward, Xia Xun would be considered an arrogance. Once the imperial envoy finds out, he will be impeached of.

The king of Lu stopped, especially because he felt that his etiquette was not enough. The Duke in front of him was a hot celebrity in front of the emperor. He was the emperor's nephew, and he was the emperor's brother-in-law. In terms of personal friendship, he was the elder of the family, so he sent him Xu Yida, a member of the royal family's guards, escorted Xia Xun back to the post house.This Xu Yida and Xu Qianhu were in their early thirties and were tall and mighty. After Xia Xun got on his horse, this You Qianhu also got on his horse and led more than a hundred guards to escort Xia Xun back to the post in mighty style.

Xu Yida rode his horse close to Xia Xun, and said courteously: "My lord, I haven't seen you for many years, my lord is as handsome as ever."

"Oh?" Xia Xun glanced at him, wondering: "Have you ever met the general?"

Xu Yida quickly and politely replied: ""When the emperor was still in Beiping's Qian Mansion, the last general was a guard of Yan Wangfu. His name and various deeds.Hehe, the nobleman of the state forgets things so much, he thinks he doesn't remember the last general, but the general has always remembered his appearance. "

After hearing this, Xia Xun suddenly realized that maybe this Xu Yida was a member of Yan Wang's mansion back then, and he had indeed met him a few times when he came out and went in by himself.Others don't know about the fact that he rescued King Yan, but everyone in King Yan's mansion knows it well, so it's not surprising that he can remember his appearance.But...the emperor's former personal guards are now guarding thousands of households in Yanwang's mansion. It seems that the emperor is also wary of the kings.

Xia Xun thought about it secretly, but did not speak. Xu Yida wanted to curry favor, and when he saw Xia Xun smiled, he fell silent, and hurriedly picked up the topic again: "The general heard that the front line of Dezhou is gathering elite troops, ready to wait for the Duke You are going to practice martial arts, as far as the general knows, foreign envoys came to Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court made a big move for it, the military practice is unprecedented, and now you are showing off your military power like this, could it be that there is a war about to be fought?"

Xia Xun glanced at him with a half-smile and asked, "So what?"

Xu Yida said excitedly: "My lord, the general has a merciless request. If the Duke can lead the battle, don't forget the general. The general was originally a warrior, but now he is the guard of the palace. Leisure is leisure, but idleness hurts the bones, the general still likes to charge forward and fight on the battlefield, if the Duke is in command, he must give the general a chance, even if he is a pawn, the general is willing."

Xia Xun said with a smile: "The court has its own generals. If there is a war, it may not be the turn of the country's prince."

Xu Yida said happily: "So, there is really a battle to be fought? Haha, it's good to have a battle. Why should the Duke be humble..."

He lowered his voice a bit, and said: "In the past, if the Duke hadn't been brave and resourceful, the entire Yan Palace would have been blown up. How could there be the world today, and how could there be the emperor today? Duke, you have made outstanding achievements and are most respected by the emperor." Chongxin, the former governor of the five provinces, has a remarkable record in suppressing the Japanese, if you really want to go west, maybe this generalissimo will belong to you!"

Xia Xun laughed dumbfounded, and said haha: "Impossible, the Texas military parade is not about fighting, so don't think about it, even if the Tiemu'er Kingdom really wants to fight, it won't..."

"It's really hitting the border of our Ming Dynasty" Before he could say the words, Xia Xun's voice suddenly stopped.

Xu Yida just talked about the near-bombing of King Yan's Mansion in Beiping, and when he mentioned Timur again, a strange thought came to his mind uncontrollably: "If it weren't for me, Zhu Di would have been killed in the bombing in Beiping. It will never become Beijing, there will be no more Emperor Yongle in the world, and Zhu Yunqi is still ruling the country, so... Is it inevitable or a coincidence that Emperor Tiemuer died of a sudden illness during his eastern expedition?"

Xia Xun doesn't remember the exact time of Emperor Tie Mu'er's Eastern Expedition. What he thinks is that if because of his appearance, there is even a small deviation in history, for example... to advance the time of Tie Mu'er's Eastern Expedition, Will Tie Muer, who was supposed to die of a sudden illness halfway, die of illness halfway?

If Timur's Eastern Expedition had been advanced a year earlier, his army would have reached the border of the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides would have had a bloody battle. How many soldiers would have died in the battle, and what a heavy loss the Ming Empire would have suffered.If his own appearance prompts Timur to postpone the Eastern Expedition time, what kind of situation will it be?Before Timur's expedition to the East, he died of illness. The Timur Empire was in civil strife, and the crisis of war was easily resolved.

Originally, Xia Xun was only worried about his own appearance and changing the timing of Tie Muer's Eastern Expedition. As this idea spread, he suddenly thought of another possibility, another question: ""Tie Muer is not a brave man. A man who plotted, he gradually annexed the Golden Horde from a weak tribal chieftain, conquered east and west, and compared with Genghis Khan who "destroyed the country forty", his record is not inferior, and finally ruled West Asia, Asia, and Japan. The vast territory of South Asia, this is a heroic hero.

For the Eastern Expedition, since the early years of Hongwu, he has been sending people to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute and proclaim his ministers. In fact, he has spied on the false and the real. Before the Eastern Expedition, he made very sufficient preparations. Then, with 70 people, driving millions of cattle and sheep as military rations, he marched eastward. If such a bold and cautious commander was already sick and weak, would he really dare to take such a risk with all his might?

He made such a careful arrangement, clearly considering Da Ming as his strongest opponent. Such a person should understand that he cannot conquer Da Ming in a short period of time. He should understand that if he, the supreme ruler, has a What is going on and what is going on, even if you are seriously ill, it is enough to cause serious consequences.

If he had a sign of serious illness before the Eastern Expedition, a high-ranking ruler, an outstanding politician, and military strategist would guard Samarkand well to ensure a smooth handover of his regime and continue his kingdom. Going on, it will still be like the poetic romantic thoughts of historians say: what kind of aging lion must seek the final glory and insist on marching east, even if all his elites are buried in the east, and his life's foundation will be paid. of running water?

A shadow crept into Xia Xun's mind quietly: "If Timur hadn't died of a sudden illness halfway, then he would have come to the border of the Ming Dynasty. Tatar and Wala will not become Timur's allies, but neither will they. To aid Daming, it is very likely that they will also send troops to the south to get a share. Under the ravages of lions and tigers, even if Daming can win, what a heavy price will it have to pay?"

Xia Xun's heart jumped up: "Tie Muer... how did he die?"

From this, Xia Xun suddenly thought of Genghis Khan, who was very similar to Tie Muer. The cause of Genghis Khan's death was also full of mysteries. Yuan Renxiu's history books said that Genghis Khan fell from a horse and injured himself while hunting. He had a high fever that night and died suddenly.Genghis Khan, who grew up on horseback since he was a child, would fall off the horse and get injured?Well, even if he was injured by a fallen horse, he would at most bleed profusely, or else he would be old and break a bone, how could he have a high fever that night?

In the Ming Dynasty's "Yuan History", Fang Xiaoru's master, the Confucian Song Lian, explained the cause of death of a generation of Tianjiao in only [-] words. He died of a serious illness, but the cause of death is still unclear.

The envoy of the Holy See to Mongolia, John Plano Gabini, said in his chapter that Genghis Khan may have been struck by lightning to death. I don’t know if this statement has a religious meaning.

Marco Polo said that Genghis Khan died from the poisonous arrows of the Xixia people. It is reasonable to say that Genghis Khan was more than ten years old at the time, and with that status, he was unlikely to charge in person. The range of the arrows is limited. This statement is open to question.

As for the last statement, it is not recorded in the history at all, neither in the official history nor in the unofficial history, but an oral legend passed down among the Mongols. It said that when Genghis Khan conquered Xixia, he captured the princess of Xixia and met her. She was young and beautiful, so she was asked to serve her, but she was killed by this staunch princess.

There are two theories about how the Xixia princess killed Genghis Khan. One said she was poisoned, and the other said that she bit off Genghis Khan's reproductive organs while serving her bed.Even Genghis Khan's own concubine had to be naked and inspected when she was in bed, not to mention the captured Xixia princess. It is unlikely that the empty-handed Xixia princess would poison her. Her deadliest method of violence is probably only "biting "Are.

It is true that Genghis Khan had the habit of occupying the monarch's woman every time he conquered a place, which was dubbed a planter by later generations of historians. It is estimated that there are tens of millions of people in the world who are related to Genghis Khan.In the kingdom of kingdoms conquered by Cheng Ji Dahan's army, the Xixia Kingdom was indeed the most severely slaughtered, and almost everything in the entire kingdom was destroyed.Moreover, although this incident is not recorded in history, it is widely circulated among Mongolians who fear Genghis Khan like a god.

So Xia Xun always felt that it was very possible that this was the real truth.It's just that such an unspeakable scandal happened to an emperor, of course it can be concealed.The truth of history is always whitewashed beyond recognition for one reason or another.What Xia Xun thought of now was a topic that he could not but dare not think about.

He felt that his thoughts were absurd and crazy, but he couldn't help thinking: "Tie Muer, will he die like in history? How did he... die?"

"There are five mountains in our country, and Mount Tai is the head of the five mountains. Standing on Mount Tai, looking at the sea in the east, facing the Yellow River in the west, surrounded by Wenshui River, looking forward to the holy city of Qufu, backed by the spring city of Jinan, standing in the east with the momentum of reaching the sky, Therefore, it is also honored as the "No. [-] mountain in the world". Since ancient times, emperors and the world of Zen have all gone to Mount Tai to worship the sky on the top of the mountain and repay the merits of the sky, and sacrifice to the earth at the foot of the mountain to repay the merits of the earth. This is the land of auspiciousness! A few noble envoys, what do you think of the scenery?"

Standing on the top of the mountain, Aldusha looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers, and said intoxicated, "It's beautiful, it's so beautiful, it's like a fairyland on earth!"

Xia Xun smiled slightly, and said: "Your honorable envoys live in the far west, I don't think there will be a chance to see the scenery here again, so let's relax, wander around, and enjoy it, please..."

Aldusha and the others bowed their hands to him, and scattered in all directions. Xia Xun was still standing in front of the Jade Emperor Temple, and asked in a low voice to a man dressed as a guard who approached: "Is the Dezhou side ready? "

"Yes, according to the Duke's order, dispatch elite soldiers from all over the country. The Dezhou military camp performs daily drills. The battle formation is already proficient, and we only need to wait for the Duke to go."

"Okay, after we leave Jinan, we will head to Dezhou."

Xia Xun came out with the people from the Tiemuer Empire this time, and it was just soy sauce. The emperor attached great importance to this powerful country in the West, but he didn't take it seriously, because in his mind, Daming and this country in the West Just like the great empires of Ritian, it is impossible to have any intersection at all.But now he has changed his mind. He wants to fully display the military power of the Ming Dynasty, deter the "military investigation team" of the Timur Empire with a strong psychological deterrent, and postpone the time of the Eastern Expedition of the Timur Empire indefinitely until Timur died of illness. Sarah Khan.

If the lame emperor still came east as scheduled, he would like to see: "How did Timur die?"
