Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
No one objected, and the matter was basically settled. As for the specific details, we would discuss them after we returned.
Anyway, it's just a general direction now, but it's enough to make many people happy. Both Zhang Muhe and Wu Keshan had unconcealable joy on their faces.
The hereditary title of prince is very important to them, as it can guarantee the legitimacy of their internal rule. If anyone wants to rebel, they can turn to the Ming Dynasty for support, as your Ming Dynasty has promised.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to develop the chieftain system in places like Yunnan was, frankly speaking, because of this hereditary succession system. If you can guarantee the inheritance and power of their family from generation to generation, they will be willing to support you.
In this matter, Zhu Youxiao's actions were not surprising at all, and it was not surprising that the Mongols agreed.
Although their tribe has been there for many years, the internal power struggle is also very fierce. In addition, there is still Ligdan Khan who is eyeing them covetously. It is also good to have the guarantee of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Ming Dynasty itself is eyeing them covetously, so being able to make such a promise is enough to reassure them.
Originally everyone thought that they had gotten the benefits, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had also agreed, so the two men should go back.
Zhang Muhe had the same idea. He moved his feet and was about to leave, but he found that Wu Keshan had no intention of leaving. His heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
The matter was already done, and going back was the right choice. But why didn't Wu Keshan leave?
If he doesn't leave, it can only mean one thing: he wants to cause trouble.
Zhang Muhe stared at Wu Keshan nervously. He really didn't know what Wu Keshan was going to do and was very worried.
Wu Keshan didn't look at anyone else. He took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have something else I want to say."
Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Wu Keshan actually had something else to say, and didn't know what he wanted to say.
But at this point, it didn't matter what Wu Keshan said. After all, the previous matters had been discussed, and Zhu Youxiao didn't believe they would fall out.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "My dear, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Keshan quickly agreed and continued, "Since Your Majesty is willing to confer upon us the title of prince of the Ming Dynasty, then I ask Your Majesty to grant us a surname. We hope to have a Ming Dynasty name and surname. Please grant us this."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
No one expected that Wu Keshan would go so far as to actually hope to have a name and surname from the Ming Dynasty.
Not only did no one else expect this, even Zhu Youxiao didn't expect it.
Giving Mongolians a Chinese name is something that has never happened in later generations. However, giving them a Chinese name is not a big deal, and it is also a common practice in later generations.
There are also people who have English names, but they may have never been abroad in their lives, and they don’t even have the opportunity to use an English name because the people they live in are all Chinese.
Zhu Youxiao had originally planned to do this, but he did not expect Wu Keshan to bring it up in such an environment.
But this is a good thing. The surname bestowed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very remarkable!
Usually in such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao should give them the surname Zhu.
But think about it, forget it. There was no such precedent in the Ming Dynasty. And if you give them the royal surname, what will happen to the others? How will the people of the Ming Dynasty view it?
This is not good.
This is a good thing, it is true.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. As for the specific surname, you can go back and choose one you like. I will issue an imperial decree later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Keshan bowed quickly and retreated.
Zhang Muhe's face was very ugly. In fact, he should have followed Wu Keshan's footsteps and continued to move forward. If they retreated at this time, it would seem that they were no match for him.
But the problem is that at this step, he really can't move forward.
After all, he had no choice in this matter. He was just a representative, not the one who made the final decision among the five tribes.
Furthermore, this matter required the joint consultation of the five tribes; it wasn't something he could decide alone. If he dared to say such things at this moment, he would definitely be punished. Regardless of whether the five tribes believed him or not, he would definitely be finished.
But even if he said nothing now, he might be blamed when he returned. But there was no other way, Zhang Muhe could only endure it and go back to talk about it.
In any case, Zhang Muhe is already behind in this matter.
He glared at Wu Keshan fiercely.
This guy really has no bottom line, and he's so bold that he dares to do anything. Are you sure if you do this, your father won't punish you when you get home?
Wu Keshan, however, didn't seem to care. He had his sister's support and was not afraid of anyone.
In this situation, Wu Keshan had his own reasons. As long as the Ming Dynasty supported him, he would definitely be able to gain a higher status in the tribe. At that time, anyone who wanted to compete with him for status would be killed. As long as the Ming Dynasty supported him, no one could compete with him.
So Wu Keshan was full of confidence. He glared at Zhang Muhe and then sat back.
You can't do anything to me anyway, so what if you're angry?
Just watch, what else do you dare to do?
Zhu Youxiao also saw this scene and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He reached out and pulled Bumbutai beside him, saying, "I heard that your sister has arrived in Shenyang City? She is a rare beauty on the grassland. Is this true?"
