Gou was a member of the imperial family in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1149 Wake up
"Brother, in my opinion, just kill him directly." In the City Lord's Mansion, Agudamu could not help but said to Tenger. In his opinion, this stubborn guy was simply unreasonable. Since reasoning did not make sense, wouldn't it be more convenient to solve the problem with a knife?
Tengger was thinking intently. To be honest, he had the same idea. Seeing that the alliance was about to end, someone jumped out at the last minute and refused to agree, and started a commotion. If this matter was not resolved quickly, it would inevitably affect the signing of the alliance later. It was so hard to get it done, but ninety-nine steps out of a hundred were taken. Could it be that this would ruin the good situation?

But the problem is that killing people is easy. This is Guihua City, and Tenger can do it with just one word. But consider how other tribes will react if this is done? As the host of this meeting, Tenger not only represents the Mongols in the south of the desert, but also the spokesperson of the Ming Dynasty. On the first day of the meeting, Tenger declared that if the tribes in the covenant were attacked by other tribes, then the tribe that launched the attack would be the public enemy of everyone and must be attacked by everyone.

Although the formal alliance has not been signed yet, from this point of view, even killing someone would not be considered a violation of the alliance. But the key point is that once Tenger takes action like this, his transcendent status and influence in the alliance will be destroyed. What if he kills someone, but other tribes change their mentality because of this, or even withdraw from the alliance for one reason or another, then all the previous efforts will be wasted?

After thinking for a long time, Tengger was still hesitant. He couldn't help but look up at Zhu Shenzhui.

"Abu..."

"What? Do you have any concerns?" Zhu Shenzhui asked with a smile.

Tengger nodded and told Zhu Shenzhui about his concerns. He frowned and said, "Killing people is easy, but the consequences are hard to predict, and it is really inconvenient for me to do it."

"I'll do it!" Agudamu rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, if you can't do it, I'll do it. I'll lead the others to kill this guy, right?"

"Stupid!" As soon as Agudamu finished speaking, Tengger said, "What's the difference between you and me? We are not fools."

"Then..." Agudamu was stunned for a moment, then changed his tone: "Why don't I ask other tribes to take action and let them deal with this guy? This way, it has nothing to do with you and me, and other people can't find fault with it."

Tenger raised his eyebrows. Agudamu's idea was not bad. With the strength of the Tumed and Chahar tribes, there were many tribes dependent on them. As long as Tenger or Agudamu gave a hint, there would definitely be tribes willing to do so.

But the problem is that this kind of thing still has risks. Although Tenger and Agudamu were left out on the surface, once this was done, everyone would know that it was the instruction of the Tenger brothers. What is the difference between the tribes that rely on them doing it and themselves doing it? Isn't this the same as covering one's ears and stealing a bell?
Shaking his head, Tengger still rejected Agudamu's suggestion. Agudamu was a little anxious at this time. Such a simple matter can't be done this way or that way. Are we just going to watch this guy jump up and down? Now that the alliance is about to be signed, if others start to regret because of this guy's instigation, then this alliance will not be a failure?
Looking at the reactions of the two brothers, Zhu Shenzui couldn't help but laugh.

"Abu, what are you doing...?"

"This is actually not difficult." Zhu Shenzhui said with a smile: "In fact, what the second brother said is right. If you are not convenient to do it, just let others do it for you."

Tenger was stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Shenzhui to agree with Agudamu's suggestion. He couldn't help but said, "But Abu, what's the difference between our subordinate tribes taking action and us taking action directly? We are not stupid. We can see it clearly at a glance!"

"Then why don't you just not ask your subordinate tribes to take action?" Zhu Shenzhui said slowly.

Tenger was stunned when he heard this. Why didn't their affiliated tribe take action? Who should take action? Thinking about this question, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Tenger, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Have you figured it out?" Seeing Tengger's expression, Zhu Shenzhui knew that he had reacted and asked with a smile.

Tengger nodded: "I understand a little bit. We can't take action, and our affiliated tribes can't take action either, but as long as someone else takes action, there will be no problem."

"Hahaha! You're right!"

"Abu, brother, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Listening to the conversation between Zhu Shenzui and Tengger, Agudamu was confused and had no idea what they meant.

Zhu Shenzhui and Tengger smiled at each other, and then explained it to Agudamu. This matter is very simple. Since someone is dissatisfied and intends to make trouble, then the troublemaker should be dealt with quickly, and the result of the entire alliance should not be affected by this matter. But whether it is Tengger or Agudamu, there is no way to take action against each other, let alone Zhu Shenzhui, and even their subordinate tribes cannot take action. Because once this is done, the fire cannot be covered by paper, and the news will soon spread to all tribes, and then the prestige and rules that have been established with great difficulty from the beginning of the alliance to now will be gone.

Therefore, to solve this problem, we must find someone else, even someone who has no direct contact with Daming and the Tengger brothers. In this way, we can directly remove ourselves from the matter and not be affected by it. After solving this person, we can also sign the subsequent covenant smoothly and complete this alliance.

"That sounds good, but Abu, big brother! Who can we ask for help? Can we ask the tribe that has a grudge against us? Can we ask them to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"This idea is fine, but it's still inappropriate." Tengger shook his head. Seeing Agudamu's confusion, Tengger explained: "It's convenient to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but what do you do with the knife after using it? Don't forget that so many tribal leaders are here now. What if someone uses the covenant to demand the punishment of the murderer? Do you have to hand the other party over or execute him on the spot? Can you guarantee that the other party will break the jar and tell the truth at the critical moment of life and death?"

“This…” Agudamu was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"Second brother, have you ever heard of the story about troubles within the family?" Seeing that Agudamu hadn't reacted yet, Zhu Shenzui reminded him.

"I understand!" Agudamu suddenly realized, slapped his thigh and grinned, he was really stuck in a dead end and didn't expect to use this method.

Zhu Shenzhui was right. Trouble comes from within. This kind of thing often happens in Mongolian tribes. Especially in the change of leaders of Mongolian tribes, fathers kill sons, sons kill fathers, or brothers kill each other. What if the person who did it is not someone else, but someone close to the other party, especially the most trusted relative? In this way, the problem can be solved and the mouths of other tribes can be shut up, so that other tribes can't find fault at all. At that time, a few words of punishment will be lightly punished, and the matter will be over. You can't take action against the other tribe after the leader of the other tribe dies, right?

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. All I want is the result. The alliance meeting has been going on for quite some time. After I've been away for so many days, I have to go back to Ming Dynasty after the alliance meeting is over." Zhu Shenzui said this lightly. The Tengger brothers nodded repeatedly and then went downstairs to discuss the matter.

After they left, Zhu Shenzhui stood up and walked a few steps. Looking at the familiar scenes around him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he has lived here for quite a while, this is not the Ming Dynasty after all, nor is it his own Forbidden City. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he cannot stay away for long. Even though there have been news communications from the Ming Dynasty and the exchange of memorials and information has never stopped, the longer he is away from the Ming Dynasty, the more Zhu Shenzhu has to consider the problems of the Ming Dynasty. Now it is indeed time to go back.

After the covenant is officially signed and the meeting is over, Zhu Shenzhui will leave Guihua and return to Daming. When he thought of this, he felt reluctant. Those who were reluctant to leave were Tana, Qiao'er, the Tengger brothers, including Wang Hai and others. However, as an emperor, although he had supreme power, there were some things he could not do. Although he wanted to stay with Tana forever and let her stay by his side, the reality was not like that. Otherwise, Zhu Shenzhui would have kept Tana when she came to the capital. But in the end, he respected her wishes and let her return to Guihua City.

This time when Zhu Shencui came to naturalization, he reunited with Tana. Although he was happy, he also found that time had left deep traces on Tana's face. The girl back then had gradually grown old, and her youth was gone. Time was like an arrow. How many springs and autumns can a person have in his life? Even Zhu Shencui is now a middle-aged man. After leaving this time, it is unknown when they will meet again. When Zhu Shencui thought of this, his heart ached.

However, Zhu Shencui could only respect Tana's choice. As a husband and wife, he knew Tana's personality too well. She would never follow him back to Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he did not want Tana to live the kind of life in the palace in Ming Dynasty where she had to follow rules everywhere.

Tana belongs to the grassland, to this world. Although the Ming Dynasty is good, it is not Mongolia after all. This is her hometown, and only here can she live more freely. Moreover, she has the care of the Tenger brothers, and their children around them. Isn't this better than being in the Ming Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Zhu Shenzhui sighed and shook his head slightly. He could only spend more time with Tana before leaving, and hoped that the next time they met would come as soon as possible.

Moreover, after this alliance, the Ming Dynasty confirmed its suzerainty over Mongolia. In addition, Zhu Shenzhui had decided to treat similar alliances as a long-term and stable political behavior in the future. That is, every once in a while, the Ming emperor would go north to Mongolia and summon the taijis of various Mongolian tribes to appropriate places and venues to strengthen the connection and communication between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia and better control the entire Mongolia.

In addition to Guihua City, the new city in Rehe, Chahar, which was decided a few days ago, is also an option. In the future, the new city in Chahar will become one of the imperial palaces of the Ming emperor in Mongolia, just like Guihua. As long as this becomes a routine, there will still be a chance to meet Tana again in the future, which also gives Zhu Shenzhu some comfort.
