After watching Wu Keshan leave, Zhu Youxiao's expression returned to normal.
He was pretending to do all those things just now. Having lived two lives, it was impossible for him to be really attracted to a woman like that; as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he would not be so impatient.
He had been with many women, including Empress Zhang, who was so beautiful. The women in the palace were all of high quality. It was unlikely that Wu Keshan could rely on a woman to attract him. Even if she could attract him, it would not be to this extent.
Why such a disguise?
The reason is even simpler. This is all done for those people outside to see, so that Wu Keshan will become arrogant, because his indulgence makes him strong.
Although he didn't know much about Wu Keshan, Zhu Youxiao also knew that it would be difficult for people to resist when faced with such temptation.
Besides Wu Keshan, there were also people from other tribes who came here this time, including the more powerful ones like the five Inner Khalkha tribes, as well as many smaller tribes, not to mention the many smaller tribes under Khorchin.
As long as he showed enough trust in Wu Keshan and enough favor towards Dayuer, these people would subconsciously stick together.
The reason is very simple. They are all in an independent state now, and this state has existed for a long time, and they have become accustomed to each other.
Under such circumstances, they would not want to be ruled by others. If they could accept being ruled by others, they would not be in the current divided situation.
Neither Lin Danhan nor Nurhaci, who was once powerful, could make these people surrender, so it was naturally impossible for Wu Keshan.
Wu Keshan will become more powerful with the support of the emperor, and will also make others more vigilant. In such a situation, even if Wu Keshan does nothing, those people will subconsciously unite to oppose him.
Besides, now that Wu Keshan has his own support, how could he do nothing?
This will lead to a more divided situation and even deepen their conflicts.
And this is what I want.
From this moment on, I have to use my own methods.
Bumbutai looked at Zhu Youxiao, and a blush flashed across her face. The emperor's gaze was really too naked!
She had received a lot of education in this area over the years, and was even taught how to seduce men, but she still felt uncomfortable with such gazes.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care about that. He stood up and walked down the stairs. He looked at Bumbutai with a smile, reached out and took her hand, and asked softly, "How have you been these past few years?"
Bumbutai raised her head and looked at Zhu Youxiao. The blush on her face had not faded, but she remained determined.
She was already quite mature, having been like this since she was a child. After years of training and growth, she became even more mature, and when she faced Zhu Youxiao, she was no longer as timid as before.
She understood another thing, that is, she and her family were useful to the emperor. Even from the perspective of using him, he would be better to her and her family.
In fact, Bumbutai was right. If those people wanted to get rid of Wu Keshan, Zhu Youxiao would never agree.
Zhu Youxiao used Wu Keshan to split them, not to let them kill Wu Keshan. If that were the case, where would the prestige of the Ming Dynasty be?
"Very well." Bumbutai said softly, "Is Your Majesty well?"
"Very good." Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, pulling her along and saying, "I have nothing to do today, so come with me for a walk. It's quite boring to stay here all day. In fact, I really want to go riding on the grassland."
"The blue sky and white clouds, the wind blowing the grass low and the cattle and sheep visible, it is a very beautiful scenery. If I could ride a tall horse in such an environment and gallop across the vast grassland, it would also be very good for my mind. But I don't know if I will have such an opportunity in the future."
"All under heaven belongs to the king; all the people are his subjects. Wherever your majesty wishes to go, naturally no one dares to stop him." Bumbutai smiled and said, "If your majesty likes, you can visit our Khorchin. Our Khorchin is just like this: the sky is vast, the fields are boundless, the wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep."
After hearing Dayuer's words, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised.
If Huang Taiji can be killed this time, there would be nothing wrong with me going to Khorchin.
As for the worry that they would take ruthless action against him, Zhu Youxiao was not worried at all. Although he had a fear of insufficient firepower, it did not mean that he did not have courage.
He didn't need to bring more than 20,000 men. Zhu Youxiao didn't believe the Khorchins could do anything to him. If there were enough ammunition, all the Mongolian tribes would come and kill them all.
However, Zhu Youxiao felt comfortable listening to Dayuer's words, as this put Khorchin under his rule.
Of course, these words are just for show and have no practical effect. When the Ming Dynasty is weak one day, they will still bite back.
If the Ming Dynasty really continued to be powerful, then they would really be under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
That was enough for the conversation, there was no need to continue. After all, Dayu'er couldn't make the decision on this matter, so there was no need to discuss anything further with her.
Zhu Youxiao took Bumbutai out, and the two of them went out for a stroll.
In the evening, Zhu Youxiao naturally sent her back to Wu Keshan.
Although he was anxious, he wasn't so anxious as to act this way. The reason he took the person out was to show it to the outsiders. To put it bluntly, it was to show the Mongols outside, to let them know the current situation.
