In the letter to the cabinet, Wang Chonggu said that Altan was captured, and I had a complete psychological advantage. When I proposed tribute again, no one would think that it would be a loss of power and humiliation of the country. It is advisable to make a decision early to avoid this opportunity.

The cabinet's reply only has sixteen words: "The situation is in the future, and it is not allowed to be released. If you see it, you will do it with a decision!" The subtext is, do whatever you want. We have to resist the court, so there is no need to worry.

So Wang Chonggu sent Bao Chongde to reach an agreement with Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji and Yikhatun wrote a letter to the court to hint in surrender... This is actually not a difficult task for the Taiji and Yikhatun, because although Altan established the country and became king, he did not deny Chahar's Khan. Since they still recognized Chahar's Khan as their master, they would not have too much trouble. Maybe there would be some discomfort, but it would be okay. Although the master changed his name, he still couldn't care about them, and the benefits of tribute and opening the market were worth it. In the end, people really don't value face as much as the Han people.

Then Wang Chonggu was responsible for asking for the title of the family to start the mutual market negotiations with convenience. He also agreed that from now on, the weapons on the three sides would not prosper. If someone provoked a border provocation, the two sides would kill them together. What are the benefits of war? The benefits of plundering are the subordinates, not the leader; the danger of failure is the leader, not the subordinates. So why take the extreme danger and fight for some benefits that have nothing to do with oneself for the subordinates? In the final analysis, all the people's claims are planned for themselves.

The Ming Dynasty also allowed the other party to send representatives to visit Altan. After the peace talks were successful, people could also send people to serve for a long time. In order to show sincerity, the party would arrest Xiao Qin and other white lotus monsters, and even demolish Bansheng and expel the Han people from the south. To the latter point, Wang Chonggu hinted that it was unnecessary, as long as we promised to set up Han officials there to manage... Because we were eager to ask for tribute, people also promised.

Because Ikhatun hated Xiao Qin for tempting Altan to his grandson-in-law, these unintentional disasters were caused. Therefore, he had long been discussing how to save Dahan, and lured Xiao Qin and other white lotus backbones to Kuku and Tun, and tied them up. Now it was just a matter of a re-working effort to give it to the Ming Dynasty.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, this was a great victory, and they were immediately transferred to Beijing. Emperor Longqing personally was captured at the Meridian Gate Tower, sacrificed to heaven, and surrendered to the Taimiao before they were executed by Lingchi, and finally passed on the heads of the Nine Borders!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now people have submitted memorials to surrender and sent traitors... This is a low attitude that has not been seen in nearly a century, which is enough to suggest their sincerity. Things should go very well, and the Ming Dynasty should not make things difficult for them anymore.

But as Wang Chonggu expected, the difficulty of tribute and peace negotiations was not in the Tatars but in the court. When Wang Chonggu cleverly used Altan's card to eliminate weapons at the border, the court's discussions were all instigated. They believed that tribute was a weak expression, and opening the market was even more wrong. They remembered the story of Qiu Luan's opening of the horse market. They wanted to be Yang Jisheng and resolutely reject this right-leaning surrenderism! They also mentioned that Shizong had banned the opening of the horse market. In the end, they wanted to advocate that the tribute would guarantee that within a hundred years, there would be no trouble in the frontier!

However, they forgot that this is not the era of Emperor Shizong Su, Gao Gong is not Yan Song, and Wang Chonggu is not Qiu Luan. As for guaranteeing that there will be no trouble within a hundred years, it is pure nonsense. If you don’t have to worry about it a hundred years later, it is ten years later. Who can take care of it?

Gao Gong was the chief assistant of the cabinet and did not express his attitude. This time, Zhang Juzheng was really excited. He wrote to Wang Chonggu: "The tribute is to control the enemy and the border. People at that time were jealous and held the discussions of the mediocre people, and planned the harm of the present, forgetting the long-term benefits, so they wanted to shake the chaos and prevent them. The country was given high titles and wealth, and raised these people, which was not as good as real dogs and horses! I received the kindness of the country, but I could not repay my death. Moreover, I surrendered and rebelled. Since I took my own responsibility, I dared to give up on him today! When the big news came, I should still strongly agree, but after I gave up the tribute, I should have some more plans. After the Jiangnan period was gone, the public should do his best to plan to avoid any concerns afterwards.'

At that time, Silence had already left office, and the responsibility on the front line fell on Wang Chonggu. When the censors were talking to each other, Chonggu also felt it was difficult, but Zhang Juzheng supported him on behalf of the cabinet, which made him withstand the pressure and submitted a memorial to the eight matters of tribute.

In the cabinet, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei all expressed their agreement, but Gao Yi did not reject it. However, there were many people in the court who demanded the killing of Altan. Some even impeached Wang Chonggu and asked him to be brought to justice.

It was Zhang Juzheng who submitted a memorial to Longqing, and expressed his attitude on behalf of the cabinet. He said: "The current discussions are all about peace and weakness, and the horse market is provoking. Those who say this are not only unfaithful, but also very unwise! The so-called harmony is that the two enemies are in the same juncture, wisdom and ugliness are equal, and self-subsistence is not enough to defeat them, so they have to seek peace. For example, the Han Dynasty and Song Dynasty offer the offer, the peace is in the barbarians but not in China. Therefore, Jia Yi thought it was upside down, and Kou Duke refused to argue. Now, he paid tribute and asked for the title of the emperor. The peace is in China but not in the barbarians. Compared with the Han Dynasty and Song Dynasty, the affairs of the Song Dynasty are absolutely not covered. It can only be called a tribute, but not in China.'

It means that the Han and Song dynasties were forced to be out of order, so they were called seeking peace. But we are now winners, and the other party is paying tribute and begging for the title. How can we ask for peace?

In response to the opening and closing of the horse market during the Jiajing period, he said: "As for the fact that the horse market was opened in the past, the officials gave the horse price, and the market changed the Hu horse. He was forced to put the market down and asked for the market to be closed. He asked for the money for the money to be several times the profit. Before the market was completed, he plundered, so the late emperor refused to do so. Now, I have famous generals and elite soldiers, waiting for the dawn. How dare they bully the market?'

The court officials are generally worried about whether people will backfire the alliance in the future. Zhang Juzheng said: "Reorganizing the army and practicing martial arts and guarding the border are things that we must strengthen day and night. How can we relax or strengthen because people enter or not and whether there is a covenant? Besides, in China, even if their fathers and brothers make an appointment, they cannot be able to protect them from violating them, let alone Diyi? People will plunder and enter every land for decades. Is it because they are betraying the alliance? Even if they really betray the alliance in the future, it will not be worse than before. The interests of the interests are compared with black and white, and the contributors still use this as a saying, so the ministers think they are very unwise.'

Zhang Juzheng's counterattack was very powerful and refuted the veto factions one by one. However, this world has never been a place to reason. Even if there is something, some people will not listen to it and still stick to their views and do not sing against the stage.

In the end, the argument was really unconventional. Gao Gong finally came out. Let’s discuss the court... The discussion is a decision-making system with very distinctive characteristics of the dynasty. It is joined by senior officials in Beijing, important ministers, and some censors. Under the emperor's leadership, everyone expresses their own opinions, and then the big family summarizes their opinions. Whichever opinion they hold is more, they follow the same method. Although the emperor can also make his own decisions, it will hurt the hearts of the ministers... The ministers of the Ming Dynasty cannot afford to hurt them, and the consequences are known.

This democratic decision-making system was naturally not liked by the late emperor, especially in the matter of the big talks. Jiajing suffered a lot from the court discussion, so he has never held a court discussion since he was in control of great power. Now Gao Gong has proposed to court discussions again, which naturally makes the ministers excited... Both sides of the dispute firmly believe that they will win, so they no longer make noises, but seize the time to contact colleagues with the right to intervene, hoping to overwhelm the other party during the court discussion.

So three days later, the marked "tributive vote" incident in the history of Ming Dynasty occurred. A total of 44 people involved in the court discussion. At the meeting, they agreed to reject the two sides' views and spoke one after another. Finally, they wrote their opinions into a document and sent them to the emperor.

In order not to cause trouble, Emperor Longqing ordered people to publicly publicly. The final statistics are as follows: Twenty-two people thought that tribute was granted, and the trade was allowed; Seventeen people thought that tribute was not allowed; and five people thought that tribute was granted, but that tribute was not allowed. In the terms of later generations, most of them passed the tribute... that is, Altan's life was saved. However, the trade was still not enough. On this one, 22 to 22, everything became a deadlock again.

In the end, the Holy Tribunal was only the sage. Emperor Longqing was so amused that he was laughing and crying. What was the matter? How did he do it all over the place? He still had to discuss with several major scholars - Gao Gong was the mastermind behind the tribute, Zhang Juzheng was the protagonist in front of the stage, and Zhang Siwei was in an effort to move around. Under the instigation of these people, Longqing decided to "express the external restraint and the internal garrison" - and he criticized Zhu Zhu: "This matter is important, and the border ministers understand the secrets best. Now the border ministers have something to do, so let's do it, and spend more money and food!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although things are not so simple, the hardships are no longer detailed, but under the control of this efficient cabinet, things that usually have to be discussed for a year will come down within one month. The court issued an edict to grant Altan the King of Shunyi, and a red python robes, and a royal palace in Beijing. His Ikhatun was appointed Lady Shunyi, and Kukuhetun was given the "Guihua City"; Altan's eldest son Huang Taiji, nephew Kundu... This is the leader of the Wushen tribe, who wrote a memorial to the title of the left and right governors, and each gave a red lion robes; the rest of Taiji were appointed as the governors and the leaders of each tribe were given commanders... a total of 61 people.

From then on, the Tatar knights became the nobles and generals of the Ming Dynasty. Their iron hooves no longer trampled on the fields of Ming Dynasty; their swords and guns no longer wet the blood of China. Although the court could not talk about using Tatars to fight, the court could not fight against them again... Looking back on a few years ago, when Altan repeatedly went south and Beijing repeatedly martial law, the country is now recovering. The entire western three sides announced that they would relieve the threat of enemies, not only saving millions of military spending, but also allowing the court to freely plant and manage Ji Liao without feeling oppression. It is not an exaggeration to exaggerate the significance of this.

But the initiator of all this has quietly gone south, and in that heated debate, there was almost no sound...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When time returned to the moment when Altan was captured, perhaps it was destined to be his own way, and Chen Si received an imperial edict to transfer him south... Because the court concentrated its efforts in the north, the Wei Yinbao rebellion in the southwest became more and more intense. He captured Guilin as the capital, killed the governor of Guangxi, and colluded with King Annan. After occupying the entire territory of Guangxi, he invaded Guangdong. His momentum was huge and shocked China and foreign countries.

Although the barbarians in the southwest were not as big as the enemy, he was not required to be the admiral himself, but the silent ones were like worshiping Chengling and dressing up in the late stage of the war against Mongolia, and were also confused with the noble girls... Although the most serious thing was that his kneeling on Genghis Khan's worship shocked the nerves of the Han chauvinists, and they even rose to the level of disgrace to the national character, thinking that he was no longer suitable for the position of supervisor and should be punished.

Faced with the surging impeachment from all sides, he remained silent and never refuted. He just recognized that he was indeed inappropriate in his routine defense commentary, and asked the emperor to forgive him for his crimes... His attitude was extremely earnest. At this time, the shocking incident of Wei Yinbao capturing Guilin occurred, so he volunteered to go south and recommended Wang Chonggu to take over his job.

Emperor Longqing naturally refused to see his teacher suffer such grievances, but most of the impeachments were silenced and he wanted to go south. He even said bluntly in his letter to Gao Gong: "This is to escape and eliminate disasters." Gao Gong naturally understood his concerns, and the war in the north was settled. When he was silent, he retreated and was open and honest. He could only admire him and did not go out of anything else.

So after some twists and turns, Chen Mo was appointed successfully. He did not say goodbye to all the civil and military officials. He just told Wang Chonggu and Qi Jiguang a few words. He ordered people to pack up and prepare to go south. On the day of unzipping the cable, he received the news that Altan was captured. In addition, he was shocked. Chen Mo stood in the courtyard for a long time. Liu Zi asked him if he had unzipped the cable. He shook his head and whispered: "I don't know the result, how can I go with peace of mind?" So he said to Wang Chonggu who came to report: "Brother Jianchuan, I owe a favor, immediately ask Li Chengliang to reorganize the army to rescue him. That guy is the most stubborn and cunning. Even if he can't save the person, he will not pay it back."

"What are the big guys talking about," Wang Chonggu said: "Altan was captured, which is the highest military information, and I am just thinking about it."

"Thank you." Nodded silently and said, "There should be a lot of things to be busy at this time. Go quickly and don't be with me as an idle person."

"I'm here to invite a big man to come and preside over the presidency," Wang Chonggu said respectfully: "This is a big deal, and the officials are afraid of any mistakes."

"If I don't have confidence in it, I won't give the burden. I'll take the heavy burden. Brother Jianchuan, I should have left my name in history..."

"Yes..." Wang Chonggu bowed with gratitude.

In the following time, Chen Si was almost unwilling to eat and couldn't sleep at night, and was anxiously looking forward to the news. It was not until Qi Jimei received Zhong Jin and knew that she was safe and sound that Chen Si was relieved and said to the left and right: "Let's go."

"Don't take a break first?"

"I won't do it anymore, I'm going to sleep right away." Chen Si shook his head. So the guard untied his cables, headed south, stayed at the military station at night, got up early the next morning, and continued on the way.

The grassland in the early morning was very quiet. Looking back at the north in silence, I saw a vast green grassland, divided into two by the jade belt-like official road, and his heart seemed to be divided into two.

The official road in the distance suddenly appeared a point, and then it got closer and closer. Finally, the guards saw clearly that it was a woman riding a red horse and wearing red clothes. The woman rushed over with murderous intent, but the guards had no way to stop it, but instead scattered far away.

The girl who came was Zhong Jin. She was also wearing the bride's clothes. The sweaty and blood horse in the Western Regions under her crotch had turned from white to rouge red because of sweat. Seeing that she rushed to Chen Si, she still did not slow down. Chen Si still did not move, but just looked at her calmly.

Two horses passed by, Zhong Jin rushed up from the horse's back and hugged the silent ones. Then the two fell down and rolled in the thick grass. The dew-stained grass wet their robes, but the two of them were entangled together frantically regardless of their lost arms...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you want to kill me?" Silence finally broke free from the girl's pink arms.

"I don't want me anymore." Zhong Jin glared and said, "So push me into the fire pit, right?"

"Hu Badao!"

"How could I give me a gun? Didn't you expect that I would be molested by Altan?"

"I'm not Zhuge Kongming," Chen Shu sighed: "Believe me, if I knew there would be such an experience, I wouldn't have let my marriage go."

"..." Zhong Jin stared at him tightly, trying to see through his heart, but that was impossible. After a long time, she sighed softly, "I am destined to be played with applause in this life."

"But it seems that you always take the initiative to offend me." Chen Jing smiled bitterly.

"Bah, you can still behave like a cheap person..."

Both of them fell into silence. After a long time, they whispered: "Altan... isn't it?"

"Who am I not a human being about this?" Zhong Jin said.

"It's my female apprentice..."

"Is there any master and apprentice who holds each other like this?"

"I can't do anything to be sorry to my master's wife." Chen Shu said helplessly: "I have already sworn that I will never be sorry to her again in this life."

"Then have I been molested? What should I do?" Zhong Jinqi said bitterly.

"But no matter whether I do it or not, I am sorry for her." Chen Shu sighed: "The story of my love has been spread to Beijing. Whether this is the case or not, I have hurt her again."

"Then go..." Zhong Jin suddenly got angry, supported his chest with one hand and punched him with the other hand: "This coward, I'm blind!"

"How could it be a dog's eye? It's a watery peach blossom eye..." Chen Si suppressed the pain and grinned: "If you want, you can take time to go to Beijing and serve a bowl of tea to your master's wife."

"..." Zhong Jin was stunned for a moment, stared at the silent one, "What? I heard it right."

"I was entangled with me and shot down Altan Khan with another shot. Who would dare to make an idea in the future?" Looking at her silently, she said softly: "The consequences must be borne by what I do."

"I don't need to be pitiful," Zhong Jin said coldly: "There are many men in the world, so why do you need to beg for nothing?"

"Do you have to be at my age?" Chen Si smiled bitterly, "I don't care?"

"Who cares..." Zhong Jin cursed with a smile, hugging his neck tightly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silence was still on the road alone. Zhong Jin told him that she would not leave the grassland, nor would she go to Beijing to see his tigress, because she was Zhong Jin, a woman who dared to suck her master and shot Altan Khan. She would not bow to anyone in her life, because she was afraid that once she arrived in the Han area, she would not be able to make decisions.

She wanted to return to Hetao, use her title to establish her tribe, and do things that women in this era want to do but cannot do. She also welcomes him to come to the grassland to die and become a man who suppresses the village...

Not long after, Chen Mo learned that she no longer used Zhong Jin's title, nor did she call herself the princess, but called herself the third lady... This made Chen Mo's eyes sore, and the woman's heart was actually not as hard as her mouth.

But the burden on her shoulders was too heavy, and she couldn't give her anything. She could only put away the slightest concern and look forward firmly.

Ten days later, he met with Aman who had received the letter to go south, and his two sons were also accompanied by Aman.
