My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 256 You're done

  In the gold account.

   Suddenly, many people panicked.

  So the witch doctor accompanying the army was invited.

  They started singing and dancing, and added herbs.

  Ghost power is naked and weak, looking listless.

  Actually, at this time, he has not reached the end of his life.

  The death of a person is a long process.

  As a human being, he just felt a little tired and sleepy.

  But as a khan, it is another matter.

  The entire Tatar Ministry, although it is a military group.

   But to a certain extent, it is another stitch monster.

  It is composed of dozens or hundreds of tribes of various sizes.

   Not to mention, there are still three parts of Wuliangha watching over here.

  Because of this, Guilichi, who is a khan, should not show weakness at this time.

  But... all this seemed to be out of Guilichi's control, and he calmed down a little.

  I heard someone singing and dancing outside, praying for him.

   All the grand masters and stars surrounded him like the moon.

  He glanced at Alutai, and then at Ha'er Wugai.

  After that, I scanned the other grand masters and grand masters.

  He looked eagerly at Prime Minister You Ma'er Haza and Taifu Zuo Prime Minister Ye Suntai, and said, "Send me quickly."

  His son, as a soldier along the way, pretended to attack Xifengkou, essentially to attract the attention of the Ming army.

   It's just that it's thousands of miles away from here.

   But at this time, only his strongest son was by his side, which made him feel at ease.

As for Prime Minister Ma Erhazan and Prime Minister Zuo and Sun Tai, their relationship with Alutai has always been discordant. Only with the efforts of Sun and Tai to welcome his son back can the tilted balance return to its proper position.

  The two nodded immediately.

  Alu Tai said: "Your Majesty is overworked, you should take a good rest."

   "Nothing." Guili Chiqiang said vigorously, "It's just a little tired."

  When he said this, many grand masters and grand masters felt the same way.

  Even Alutai felt an inexplicable sense of fatigue.

  But everyone is pretending to be healthy, but under the light of the night pearl, many people's faces are slightly pale and haggard.

  But at this time, no one will stand up and tell their physical condition.

  The reason is simple. Weakness may be one's own weakness. Under such an uncertain situation, if one exposes one's weakness, once Guilichi does something good or bad, a chase about the new emperor may start at any time.

   Often an emperor needs to hold a meeting on the grassland for confirmation.

  In this conference, almost all the tribal leaders bargained based on their own strength, and determined how much fat they could share from the new owner.

   Gui Lichi seemed to see through the minds of many people.

  The doctor who saw him probably only explained the situation. The profuse sweating is indeed just a little tired and has no other symptoms.

   Everyone couldn't stay for long, and finally dispersed one by one.

   It’s just that in this big camp that stretches for dozens of miles, under the stars all over the sky and the bonfires everywhere, almost everyone is sleepless.

  The night is deep and the sky is full of stars.

  Arutai quietly found the leader of the Wuliangha tribe, Haer Wugai.

  The two of them didn't light the lamp, and they discussed secretly in the dark tent, and they both had a tacit understanding and kept their voices as low as possible.

   "Your Majesty may be dying, I see that he is very weak."

   "Yes, in my opinion, Alutai Anda, he is very guarded against you. Not only has he urgently summoned his son to the golden tent, maybe he will have other arrangements before he dies?"

  Arutai sneered and said, "If I hadn't supported him to become Khan, how could he be where he is today?"

   The Tatars have very rich experience in usurping the throne.

  Since Genghis Khan, all kinds of court struggles have emerged one after another. If Ming’s Jing Nan is only at the level of elementary school students, the nobles of the Tartars have already reached the per capita level of postdoctoral fellows.

   Alutai's eyes revealed a sharp light at this time, and said: "It must be before that kid comes back..."

   He didn't say anything after that.

  Ha'er Wubai showed a bit of worry again and said: "It's just... what if he is pretending to be sick?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Alu Tai said: "Gui Lichi has been coveting Liaodong for a long time, this is his last chance, he will not use pretending to cause civil strife, and miss this good opportunity! , if you help me, even if he doesn't pretend to be sick, I will be able to take charge of Dayuan. At that time, you and I will govern together."

  Ha'er couldn't help but feel warm. He and Alutai are not only brothers with different surnames, but also relatives of their sons and daughters.

  The only fly in the ointment is that this Arutai is the leader of the Asut tribe, not the blood of the Golden Family.

The Asut tribe, also known as the Aso tribe, is a Mongolized Iranian. It originated from the Caucasus Aso people. It was first nomadic in the north of the Caspian Sea. It was brought back to East Asia with the Mongolian army’s westward expedition and became a close part of the Mongolian army. Guard troops, Yuan Wuzong became a bodyguard army.

  Because of gaining the trust of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, the strength of the Asut Department expanded extremely quickly.

   The fly in the ointment is that it has lost its righteous reputation.

  Ha'er Wuzai said at this time: "If I succeed, who will be the Khan?"

  Alutai understood what Ha'er Wubai meant, and he pondered: "My wife is the successor of Brother Ali, and my brother-in-law is also the first...with the blood of the Jin family, what do you think?"

  Ha'er Wu said: "When will we do it?"

   "Tomorrow, Guilichi will continue to march into Guangning..."

   "He is so sick, is he still willing to continue to march?"

"Heh... Ha'er Wuyi Anda, you don't understand Guilichi. The more sick he is, the more he has to show that he is healthy, so he will force his way into the army. At that time... our troops will stay behind team, let them attack first, and when half of them are killed, we will attack the golden tent directly."

  Ha'er hesitated for a moment and said: "Will the attack and killing at this time cause dissatisfaction among other ministries?"

Alutai said: "Because...Gui Lichi is delaying time in the name of the Eastern Expedition, this time is the most important opportunity. Once his son comes back with his troops, who will win the game at that time, then don't worry about it." That's easy to say."

  Paused, Alutai said again: "As long as Guilichi dies, my Asute tribe and your Wuliangha tribe are enough to control the situation. Who would dare not follow?"

  Ha'er Wubai didn't hesitate any more at this time, and spit out a word: "Okay."

  ...

  In the gold account.

   Gui Lichi collapsed on the sickbed.

  Under the light of the night pearl, he became more and more tired.

   Right now.

  Prime Minister You Ma Erhaza and Prime Minister Zuo Ye Sun Tai were quietly recruited by the guards at midnight.

  The two sat on the edge of the couch.

  Gui Lichi looked at the two of them with a haggard face and said: "I'm exhausted, and I don't know when my son will arrive?"

  The Right Prime Minister Ma Erhazan comforted: "Your Majesty, you are a blessed person, and you will recover soon."

Guilichi shook his head and said: "I know that I can be cured, but... I understand... time is running out. Alutai has always had a different heart, and he and the leader of the Wuliangha tribe have children and in-laws. They are eyeing each other... "

  Prime Minister You Ma Erhaza and Prime Minister Zuo Ye Sun Tai looked at each other and looked at each other in blank dismay.

  Gui Lichi continued: "I expect they will definitely rebel...cough cough..."

"And you, what do you do? I have been protecting you for the past two years, and Alutai has long been dissatisfied with you. After they killed me, you two were the first to be killed. You didn't do this. Have you thought about it?"

Right Prime Minister Ma Erhazan and Grand Tutor Zuo Prime Minister Sun Tai had long seen the conflict between Guilichi and Alutai, so they stood firmly by Guilichi's side to seek benefits, and even their relationship with Alutai Great contradiction.

  At this time, both of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"Tomorrow I will attack Guangning under false pretense and send my troops as the vanguard, while I am in the Golden Tent to ambush my personal guards. As for you, take your troops to the flanks of the Alutai Department. , when you hear the cry of killing, immediately attack Wuliangha and Asute first. At that time, I will have personal guards to protect me, and the soldiers and horses in the front will kill another carbine, and your tribe will be outflanked. Tomorrow... take this The head of the second thief."

  After hearing this, the two of them both had light in their eyes, looking eager to try.

  Paused, but the right prime minister, Maer Haza, said with some lingering concerns: "Khan, I'm afraid..."

   "Don't be afraid. Don't worry, after killing Alutai, I will make you grand master kings, and all of Asut's tribe will be distributed to you."

  The worries on the faces of the two of them seemed to disappear at once, and they both said happily: "Okay."

  Gui Lichi was relieved a little, and the two resigned and left the golden account.

  ...

  After the golden account was released, Prime Minister You Maer Haza and Taifu Zuo Prime Minister Ye Sun Tai did not immediately go back to rest.

   Maer Haza sighed.

  Yesun Tai said: "Anda, why are you sighing?"

   Maer Haza said: "You and I are both descendants of Meng Ge, but now we have to serve others as masters, I am really unwilling."

  Yesun Tai turned his eyes, and the blood of the coup in his body seemed to start to awaken: "Anda means..."

  Ma Erhazan said: "After tomorrow's work is done, it's better...to simply do nothing, and after defeating Alutai and Wuliangha, then go back and kill Guilichi, then..."

  Ye Sun Tai hesitated.

Ma'er Hazan looked at him and said, "It's fine for me to surrender to Guilichi. How can I be willing to be Guilichi's son and servant in the future? Back then, our ancestors were defeated by Guilichi's ancestors, so There is no way to become the lord of the world. And now, those of us who are children and grandchildren, why do we have to endure such humiliation?"

  Paused, Maerhazan continued: "After the matter is completed, I will annex Guilichibu, and all the tribes of Arutai and Wuliangha will be given to you."

  Yesun Tai just said: "Okay, everything will be arranged by Anda."

  ………

  Dawn of the next day, the sun rises.

   Guilichi then ordered to attack.

  The camp that was more than ten miles long seemed to wake up instantly, smoke rose from the kitchen, war horses were pulled out from the stables, and many people began to check their bows and swords.

  After everyone was full, a group of people headed east first.

   to noon.

  Gui Lichi reluctantly sat on the horse, and someone held the horse's rein for him, but several times, he was so tired that he almost fell off the horse.

  In his arms, it was still the heavy night pearl.

  He firmly believes that this ancestral luminous pearl can bring him good luck today.

  Ye Mingzhu was in his arms that day, it was so warm, it made his tired body feel a little warmer.

   At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly came from behind.

   "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." A personal guard rushed over and said, "Arutai is rebellious..."

  Gui Lichi made a calm look: "Send the order, attack."

   All of a sudden.

  The team that stretched for dozens of miles suddenly began to commotion.

  Countless horses gallop across the wilderness.

   Between the various ministries, they began to attack each other.

   Even many tribes, without knowing what happened, they received an order from Alutai to attack the Golden Account.

   But after a while, the Khan ordered them to kill Alutai.

   And a moment later, there was an order from the right prime minister Ma Erhaza, asking them to join up with the right prime minister Ma Erhaza quickly.

   After meeting for several miles, you can see the traces of the battlefield everywhere.

  The fallen soldiers, the dried blood, the unowned horses and sheep.

   This time, it was each other, who started killing crazy.

  Even small tribes that hadn't received any hints before seemed to sense an opportunity.

  All tribes recuperate in this desert, because there are often conflicts about the ownership of the grassland.

  On weekdays, everyone is at odds with each other. Under the command of the Great Khan of the Tatar Department, the ruling can still be made through the ghostly chi who is combined with the emperor and the Khan.

   But now, revenge is today.

  Above the fertile soil... everywhere is fighting.

  Even the scouts of the Ming army in Guangning heard about the movement of the Tatars and carefully came out to spy. In the end...they were dumbfounded.

   No one chased them at all, and the whole plain was a mess.

   After a while, someone said that Guilichi was killed.

   He also said with certainty that all the guards of the Golden Horde were killed in battle.

   After a while, news came out that Alutai rebelled and had his head cut off.

   After a while, it was said that the rebellion was from the Wuliangha tribe. The leader of Wuliangha killed the Khan, plundered all the supplies and left.

   What is even more absurd is that it was attacked by the main force of the Ming army.

  Even... even the rumors of the Oirat tribe came, saying that it was a sudden attack by the Oirat tribe.

  In order to protect themselves, people cannot be sure whether they are friends or foes.

  As long as you see someone coming to kill someone who is not from your own tribe, you will immediately be vigilant and stand ready.

   Maybe even if there is a disagreement, they will fight again.

   This day comes down.

  Gui Lichi was surrounded by a group of personal guards, he had reached the point where he was exhausted.

  The sky is getting darker, and there are only a few sunset glows hanging high in the vast field.

  The north wind is bleak.

   Gui Lichi immediately fell down.

  The luminous pearl in his arms also rolled down from then on.

   "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

  Gui Lichi was weak, and he was supported by others. He said weakly: "You Prime Minister Ma Erhaza and Taifu Zuo Prime Minister Ye Sun Tai why are you missing? Where are they..."

   "They attacked us..."

  Ghost Lichi spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

   "Is Alutai dead?"

   "I don't know...but someone saw people from the Alutai and Wuliangha tribes, leading the remnant soldiers, heading towards Guangning."

  Gui Lichi was furious, and said: "They are not going to attack the city, but they know that they have suffered heavy losses, so they must go to find the Ming army again."

  Since Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, all Mongolian ministries have had a tradition of endless infighting. The winner claims to be the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, while the loser takes the remnant soldiers to attach himself to the Ming Dynasty.

   This has almost become a tradition. The most famous one is the Wuliangha tribe. They are attached to Ming Dynasty and are professional.

  Gui Lichi said anxiously: "Run, run, go to meet my son...to the west..."

  He cheered up and wanted to get on the horse.

  But at this moment...someone shouted, but a group of people suddenly appeared on the horizon.

  Gui Lichi looked towards the direction of the sunset, under the glow, there were glimpses of people and horses.

   Immediately afterwards, the horses galloped, which was a signal to attack.

   "It's the Prime Minister of the Right, Ma Er Ha Zan... It's the Prime Minister of the Right, Ma Er Ha Zan's soldiers and horses... They attacked... they attacked us."

  Someone roared.

  At this time... the Prime Minister of the Right, Maer Haza, who was standing on the horse, looked at all this coldly. He was very tired and seemed to feel that he was sick.

   But he still cheered up.

  The Wuliangha tribe and the Asut tribe became remnants and defeated generals, and they had no choice but to defect to Daming.

   Guili Chihan suffered a heavy blow.

  The Tai Tuo Prime Minister Ye Suntai who was allied with him, he and his subordinates were also defeated, and their heads were chopped off by Arutai.

  Now... only him is left.

  He breathed heavily, and didn't participate in the attack. He just watched his cavalry attack in the direction of the golden tent guard like a flood.

   Another **** storm.

   Until late at night, the shouting gradually stopped.

   Then, someone excitedly brought Guilichi's head to the right prime minister, Ma'er Haza.

  The head was casually discarded under the horse of the prime minister on the right, Ma Er Ha Zan, and then... the man held a night pearl, holding it high with both hands: "Gui Lichi is dead... dead..."

The Prime Minister of the Right, Ma'er, was overjoyed. He got off his horse with a tired expression on his face. He didn't even look at Gui Lichi's head, but looked straight at the Ye Mingzhu, and then... walked towards it excitedly, holding the Ye Ming Pearl with both hands. rise.

  Under the night, Ma'er Haza's face was shining.

   "From today onwards, I am the Great Yuan Emperor, Lord of the Grassland, Great Khan!"

   "Long live..."

   From all directions, people cheered.

   Just the cheers, sparse.

   But Maer Hazan, his eyes were still red with excitement, he didn't realize that at this time, two bright bloodstains flowed from his nose.

  ...

  Guangning.

  The local conductor received one strange message after another.

  The truly undeniable news is that Alutai, the grand master of the Tatar tribe, and Haer Wubai, the leader of the Wuliangha tribe, appeared below the city with a group of remnants.

  These two... didn't ask to bring troops into the city.

   Instead, they expressed very humblely that their military horses could put down their weapons and station outside the city, and the two of them could enter the city alone to meet.

   This kind of condition, there is a saying in later generations, called unconditional surrender.

  Guang Ning's guard couldn't help being suspicious, but he still let the two in.

  Seeing that the two were pale, unkempt, and weak, they saluted quickly when they saw the guard.

   There are personal soldiers on the left and right of the defense, each standing with a sword, and the guard is tight.

   "Why are you here?"

When dealing with the Ming army, Ha Erwu was more professional. He shed tears and cried: "Da Ming treats me with sincerity, but I am worse than a pig and dog. I have colluded with the Tatars. The Tatars are wolfish and ambitious. Today, I have repented. Master Alu Tait came to attach me, and I also asked Daming to forgive my capital crime and treat my people leniently."

  The guard was speechless. After confirming the identity of the opponent, he quickly called the local civil and military officials to discuss.

  After a discussion, the final result was that nothing was negotiated.

   Obviously, this is not something they can decide.

  So the garrison had no choice but to come out and said to them: "Your Majesty can only deal with your sins. I should report to Your Majesty and wait for His Majesty's will."

  Haer Wubai was in a hurry. He knew that the emperor was far away in the sky. Most of the time, the life and death of himself and his clansmen were only a matter of one thought.

  So he immediately had a calculation in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I would like to go to Nanjing immediately to plead guilty to His Majesty the Emperor."

  Alutai also said: "I would like to go too."

   The guard thought about it and said: "It's not impossible, but no entourage is allowed, and only you two are allowed to go."

  Ha'er said with tears in his eyes, "It should be so."

  At the moment, the garrison prepared dozens of light cavalry, and told them to monitor the two at any time, but the two were impatient and had to set off.

  Out of the city, Arutai and Ha'er Wubai didn't shy away from the cavalry of the Ming army, and conspired with Ha'er Wubai loudly in Mongolian: "Why are you in such a hurry to see the Emperor of Ming?"

"You don't have much contact with Daming, so you don't understand the mystery here." Ha Erwu said naively: "If you let the generals in Bianzhen give a memorial, you and I will be cold names in the eyes of the emperor. After arriving in Nanjing, the emperor will When reading the memorabilia, it may be just a thought, and with a brush of ink, I ordered the guards to kill you and me, and then kill all the old and weak of your tribe. Only when people come close and express their regrets, can they survive hope."

"Besides, the emperor also needs face. Today's Da Tianzi, like Gui Lichi, was born by killing the emperor and usurping the throne. What they care most about is being the emperor himself, which is better than the emperor who was killed. At this time You and I cried and begged in front of that civil and military man of Ming Dynasty, and it also satisfied his desire to win, so our chances of surviving will be a little higher."

  Alutai kept nodding: "You still understand."

   "I read the books of the Han people." Ha Erwu said badly: "The Han people respect Tang Taizong the most, and the achievement of Tang Taizong is to let this Turkic Khan dance for him, and it has been passed down among the Han people to this day."

   "But I can't dance." Alutai twitched.

  Ha'er said sadly: "I'll dance, you can accompany me, and you can practice along the way."

   "I never thought that I would suffer this humiliation..." Alutai couldn't help crying.

   Ha'er Wu said in a low voice: "I lost even if I lost, what else can I do? Hey..."

   He sighed.

  The two rode fast horses, traveling day and night, not daring to stop all the way.

  Although I felt exhausted, I still gritted my teeth to support myself.

  Har Wu is a professional. He knows very well that the sooner he can go to see the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the better. A moment later, if the Emperor thinks about it, it may affect his life.

  …

  Yongle five years October seventeenth.

  At this time, early winter is coming.

   Nanjing City is a bit chillier.

  The bleak late autumn wind swept away the dead branches and fallen leaves on the street.

   At this time, Wang Langzhong arrived in Nanjing City.

  When I went to the desert, I was in a hurry.

   Almost non-stop.

   But when he came back, he was in no hurry.

  Even the entourage of the Naiqianhusuo seemed to be tired from the journey, so they stayed in Peiping for a while before heading south slowly.

   After all, the official business has been completed, and now it is the moment of hindsight. I passed Jinan all the way to Zhenjiang, stopped and stopped, and entered Nanjing City. It has been more than two months.

  Looking at the bustling Nanjing city as before, Wang Langzhong couldn't help sighing: "It's really not easy. Coming back this time seems like a lifetime away."

   Saying goodbye to the people at Uchisento.

  The biggest gain this time may be getting along with these people from Neiqianhusuo very awkwardly, but at any rate, they also have some friendship with each other.

  It is a good thing to have friendship. If you don’t know if you will be unlucky in the future, you can ask these friends in Uchisenhusuo to show mercy.

  Of course, he didn't dare to stay, and hurried to the Ministry of Rites.

  The Minister of Rites, Zheng Ci, heard that Wang Langzhong was back and met him in person.

   "What's going on?"

   "Not only was there no peace negotiation, but it also deeply humiliated the country... Really... hey..." Wang Langzhong sighed.

  Zheng Ci sighed: "The Tatar Khan, what's the response?"

   "There is a message, but this message..."

  Zheng Ci stroked his beard and said: "First, the old man didn't ask you to go, right?"

   "Butang means..."

  Zheng Ci continued: "Secondly... since this is what An Nanhou asked, then you don't have to tell the old man about your message. You can go to see His Majesty and explain everything in detail."

  Wang Langzhong was stunned. When I went, Butang, you didn’t say that. You said you would protect me.

   No matter how you turn your head, everything has nothing to do with you!

  Thinking of those messages, which he wanted to say in front of His Majesty, Wang Langzhong couldn't help but shudder.

   He was completely predictable, His Majesty must be furious when he heard this.

   And there was nothing to do about it this time. The hot face was put on someone's cold ass, and he was scolded. In the end... maybe he was the one to take the blame.

  His heart is cold.

  Zheng Ci stepped forward with a smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, if you offend Sheng Yan, don't worry, after His Majesty calms down, the old man will speak well for you."

  Wang Langzhong: "..."

  After His Majesty appeases his anger, he may be decapitated.

  Zheng Ci said: "I will play, there will be a court meeting tomorrow, and you just go to report. Okay, go back and have a good rest, finally came back safely, take a bath, have a good night's rest, don't work hard...cough cough..."

  He coughed.

  Wang Langzhong looked at Zheng Ci worriedly: "Zheng Butang's body..."

   "I don't know why, I've always felt a little unwell these days...Maybe it's the turn of autumn and winter, and I caught the wind and cold."

  Although it was wind and cold, Zheng Ci felt that... something was different from before.

  But what happened, he couldn't tell.

  The next day, the court discussed.

  Zhu Di summoned all officials to have an audience.

  Zhang Anshi was also issued a special edict, obviously...something happened.
