Chongzhen took the portrait and looked at it, then stared at Omubu himself for a while and said, "I think they should be the same person."
Wang Chengen came forward to take a look and whispered in agreement: "I also think it is the same person."
"Well," Chongzhen nodded, "it seems that the work of the Pacification Bureau is quite reliable."
Wang Chengen took the opportunity to praise Li Ruolian: "Commander Li is capable and loyal to Your Majesty. He is truly a rare talent."
Chongzhen smiled with satisfaction and said to Li Ruolian, "Commander Li, you have worked hard. You will go to the inner treasury later to collect your reward of 1,000 taels of silver."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Ruolian knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly.
The king and his ministers sang in unison, giving people a feeling that their relationship was very harmonious.
E'linchen and Omubu, who were standing next to Li Ruolian, were just the opposite. Instead of feeling harmonious, they felt cold all over, and the coldness went deep into their bones.
The Jinyiwei not only found out everything about Omubu's experience, but also obtained his portrait for comparison.
This ability to get information is too terrifying!
Change your mindset.
Since they were able to get hold of Omubu's portrait, it meant that the Jinyiwei had already infiltrated the tribe.
Who could be the spy?
Ordinary herdsmen? Low-ranking officers? Senior generals? Guards outside the tent? The woman beside him?
Thinking of this, Omubu dared not think about it anymore.
If he continues to doubt, he will doubt himself.
Omubu and Elinchen looked at each other, and they both swallowed and lowered their heads.
They only know that the Jinyiwei are elusive, but what they don’t know is that three out of ten Ming merchants trading at the border are Jinyiwei.
The remaining seven people are Jinyiwei informants.
It was easy for the Jinyiwei to develop informants.
Either use power to force or use money to lure.
certainly.
Informants developed in this way can only obtain general information.
In order to obtain a portrait of Omubu himself, Li Ruolian and the Embroidered Uniform Guard used other methods.
They first found a few Mongols among the border troops and asked them to pretend to be merchants and go to the border to contact the herdsmen of the Western Tumed tribe.
When the conversation is almost over, treat the other person to a meal.
He took a sip of wine, ate a bite of meat, called out "Anda", and stuffed a bag of silver into his pocket before leaving.
The Mongols could not withstand this kind of test at all, and they wanted to take the Jinyiwei directly to Guihua City to look for information.
Under this sugar-coated bullet offensive, the Jinyiwei obtained a large amount of information on the Xitumed and Ordos tribes.
Chongzhen looked at Omubu who lowered his head, and then looked at the Minister of Rites Huang Jin: "Minister Huang, the Jinyiwei has already found out the identity of Omubu. I think he can inherit the title of Shunyi King."
Huang Jin stopped trying to stop him and said to Chongzhen, "I will obey your order! Later, I will submit a petition according to the court's rules to allow Emubu to inherit the throne of Shunyi!"
Without waiting for Chongzhen to nod, Omubu fell to his knees and kowtowed to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor..."
“No need to bow, stand up!” Chongzhen stood up with a smile, and supported him with his hands in the air, “After you inherit the throne, you must be neither arrogant nor impatient, manage the tribe well, and manage the grassland well!”
"I obey your order!" Omubu, who had not yet stood up, began to kowtow again.
E'linchen, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt a little sad.
Ombu was the leader of the Western Tumed tribe, and he was the leader of the Ordos tribe.
Both of them are descendants of Altan Khan. Why can the other one be a king of a different surname, but they can't?
After making up his mind, he first knelt down and kowtowed to Chongzhen.
Then he knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his left chest, and let his left hand hang down: "I, your servant E'lin, am willing to swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty until death, and will never betray it in this life. If you break your oath, you will not be able to return to Changshengtian after death!"
Eternal Heaven is the Mongolian belief, and the fact that E'erchen swore an oath to Eternal Heaven shows how resolute his inner attitude was.
Chongzhen was very moved, but he did not lose his mind because of being moved.
Since ancient times, no reward is granted without merit!
Otherwise, the imperial majesty will be lost.
The reason why Omubu was allowed to inherit the throne was because his ancestors already had the title, and it was reasonable for him to return to the Ming Dynasty and inherit the title.
E'linchen is different.
He has no ancestral merit.
Merit is required to obtain the throne.
Without merit, the throne cannot be granted. E'linchen swore to Changshengtian that there was no way out. If he was not granted the throne, the consequences would be...
The cabinet chief Fan Jingwen saw Chongzhen's thoughts and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, E'lin led his troops to submit to the Ming Dynasty. Since then, there has been no more war at the northwest border! I think this is a great achievement and I can grant him a title!"
"It is indeed a great achievement!" Chongzhen first expressed his attitude, and then asked: "What title do you think is more appropriate to confer?"
"The leader of the Western Tumed tribe, Omubu, inherited the throne of Shunyi. I think the leader of the Ordos tribe, E'linchen, can also be crowned king!" Fan Jingwen replied.
When E Linchen heard Fan Jingwen say this, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, and his liking for him reached its peak.
"The throne..." Chongzhen pretended to hesitate for a while and then continued to ask: "Does Lord Fan have a suitable title for the throne?"
"I do have several titles for Your Majesty to choose from!" Fan Jingwen said with some ulterior motive.
There are several tribes in Mongolia, and Fan Jingwen happens to have several titles.
It can be seen that he had thought of this a long time ago.
Chongzhen did not expose his little thoughts, but said in a commanding tone: "Master Fan, please speak."
"Yes! The Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety and the world with Confucianism! Confucianism can be summarized as benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and brotherhood."
"I think we can choose a character from it, match it with the character Shun, which means surrender, and grant him a title, just like the Shunyi King back then!"
