"I don't know very well either," Xing'an said helplessly.

Yu Qian's affairs were not within the scope of authority of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Xing'an, who had always been very measured, did not pay too much attention to what Yu Qian did.

There are some things that Xing'an cannot touch, such as monitoring Yu Qian or asking what Yu Qian is doing.

His Majesty did not grant him this power. When he originally arranged the defense of Jiuchongtang, His Majesty selected 200 Tielin troops from the Beijing camp instead of Jin Yiwei.

Your Majesty is a very clear person and does not need to guess.

For example, His Majesty ordered him to kill eunuchs such as Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang, completely replace the eunuchs in Cining Palace, and monitor Prince Ji's Mansion from top to bottom, etc.

His Majesty's orders are always very clear. For example, cure Prince Ji's illness and don't let the imperial hospital misjudge it.

His Majesty rarely puts on airs and plays the Sacred Heart difficulty game.

Therefore, Xing'an did not monitor Yu Qian. No matter Zhu Qiyu, Xing'an, Lu Zhong, or the ministers in the court, they would never believe that Yu Qian would do anything against the interests of the Ming Dynasty, such as treason.

At this point, no one would doubt it.

"Does Hu Shangshu know what Yu Qian is doing?" Zhu Qiyu asked someone else.

Hu Hui was an evergreen tree in the Ming Dynasty, with many eyes and ears. If Yu Qian wanted to do something big, he would definitely communicate with Hu Hui.

But Hu Xi shook his head and said: "I don't know what Yu Shaobao is doing recently."

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Then let Yu Shaobao answer."

This is what Zhu Qiyu did. Since he was curious, just call him and ask.

Yu Qian was giving lectures in the Wu Hall, although he was not in the Juxian Pavilion, but he was offering wine. Recently, besides giving lectures on various matters in the Wu Hall, he had indeed done a lot of things.

Xing'an said doubtfully: "Yu Shaobao, I rarely play chess with His Majesty recently. What are you busy with? It's not our family's question, but His Majesty's question."

Yu Qian smiled and said: "In that case, let's go with Da Ju."

He stood up, took out a few scrolls of paintings from the cabinet, and said with a smile: "Let's go."

"See Your Majesty, do you dare to bow your Majesty?" Yu Qian bowed his head and saluted, full of smiles.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "I bow down and sit down."

Yu Qian did not wait for Zhu Qiyu to ask questions, but handed the scrolls of paintings in his hand to His Majesty, and said with a smile: "I have been studying the Western Regions recently."

In the broad sense of the Central Plains Dynasty, the scope of the Western Regions was really too large.

Beyond Jiayuguan is the Western Region. We tried to conquer it twice during the Hongwu Period and the Yongle Period, but the pulling force was too small and the resistance was too great. In the end, we failed to open up.

Hu Bi looked at the map and sighed: "Our ancestors established Hexi, and the territory reaches Shazhou and Hami."

"Since October of the fourth year of Zhengtong, the Seven Guards of Guanxi outside Jiayuguan have been engaged in constant vendetta. Eventually, the Shazhou Guards moved inward, and the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to advance westward."

Yu Qian has been busy recently with the Oara people's westward march. The first map he drew was of the Chagatai Khanate.

What Hu Hui is talking about is a sign of the decline of Ming Dynasty's dominance in the northwest region.

In October of the fourth year of Zhengtong, the Shazhou Guards moved inward, and the Ming Dynasty lost control of the Seven Guards west of Jiayuguan. This loss wiped out all the efforts made during the Hongwu and Yongle years.

The Seven Guards of Kansai was established in the Western Regions during the Yongle period. The intention at that time was very clear. Once there were changes in the Western Regions and the time was right, they would move westward, but the pull to move westward was too small.

Hu Xi thought about it for a moment and said with emotion: "Hongwu, Yongle, because the native chiefs attached themselves to it as a guard, it is located close to us and is thinner than the north, so it cannot be regarded as a foreign country."

"This was the fifth year of Orthodoxy. When the British Duke Zhang Fu heard that the Seven Guards of Kansai had moved inward, he told King Jili that he should not treat it as a foreign country and that he should find a way to regain the rule of the Seven Guards of Hami."

Zhu Qiyu asked calmly: "What did King Jili say?"

Hu Xi shook his head and said helplessly: "No, what I mean is that King Jili will stay here and not succeed."

"The vendetta of the Seven Guards of Guanxi was actually done intentionally by the Ming Dynasty. During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty conferred the title of King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi on Kansai, just to prevent them from engaging in vendetta and disturbing the border."

During the Hongwu period, the hereditary emperors of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were abolished. During the Yongle period, Zhu Di took advantage of the conflicts among the tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the fields of military, culture, economy, tribes, etc., and divided them into three groups: Tatar, Wala, and Uliangha.

Big tribe.

This division prevented them from forming a joint force to defeat the Ming Dynasty together.

This is also the reason why seven guards were set up in Kansai and two kings were granted the title.

Zhu Di conferred the title of King Zhongshun and Zhongyi, and let them fight in the nest. As long as the fight broke out, Ming Dynasty could be the referee. The main intervention method for the referee was the military strength of the Seven Guards of Kansai.

As long as a fight breaks out, they won't have the energy to disturb the other side.

However, in the fourth year of orthodoxy, the last Kansai Guardhouse moved inward, indicating that the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to serve as a referee.

But faced with the out-of-control Kansai, Jilu King Zhu Qizhen chose to live his own life behind closed doors.

This kind of living behind closed doors made Zhu Qiyu frown.

Every time Hu Hui talks about the Zhengtong period, he frowns, frowns, and sighs. There is nothing he can do, he is not used to that kind of Ming Dynasty.

During the Yongle period, he served as governor everywhere, and he had contrasts in his mind.

Hu Hu said helplessly: "In the fifth year of Zhengtong, Yang Shiqi reported that the favor of the imperial court was very generous to the ancestors, and his bad morals were ominous. He should be careful not to be deceived by others. However, he did not help the captives, detained the Han people, and then resold them.

There were so many of them that the envoys became violent and beat them to death. They escorted them to the edge of the military school. I requested that the tribute be cut off, and I issued an imperial edict to lend it to them."

This is a very strange memorial. The background of what happened has a lot to do with the Kansai Seven Guards.

After the Qiwei moved inward, whether King Zhongshun or King Zhongyi, their goal of getting rich immediately set their sights on the people of the Ming Dynasty.

King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi began to communicate with the captives to varying degrees, and had flirtations with the Wala people.

The Second King of Hami began to arrest Han people who left the customs for business and living, and tied them up with ropes to sell them in a long string. If they wanted to go to the toilet, they had to untie their hands. Therefore, in some northern areas, people also had to relieve themselves when going to the toilet.

Moreover, the envoy sent by Ming Dynasty was killed.

Yang Shiqi’s advice was: cut off the tribute, cut off the tribute from King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi!

This happened ten years ago, and the trees on Yang Shiqi's grave were already withered.

Hu Xi continued: "In the eighth year of Zhengtong, Wala attacked Hami, broke the city, and captured King Zhongshun, the Queen Mother, the Princess and others."

"King Zhongshun complained to the Ming Dynasty, and King Jiliu sent envoys to Walasen to issue orders. Chief Walanu also released King Zhongshun first, but did not let go of the Queen Mother."

"In the tenth year of orthodoxy, Wala attacked Hami again and captured King Zhongshun, the princess and others for the second time. Wala was so ambitious. He was testing the reaction of the Ming Dynasty."

"When I sent envoys to issue orders for the second time, I stopped releasing King Zhongshun and stayed in Wala."

Zhu Qiyu frowned and tasted it for a long time, and then said doubtfully: "Singing an oboe?"

Hu Xi nodded and said: "Sing the double act."

"Because the slave chief Ye Xian is actually the uncle of the loyal and shun king Hali Suo Lutan. Hali Suo Lutan's mother is Ye Xian's biological sister."

"Ever since the death of the previous King Zhongshun in the fourth year of Orthodoxy, Yexian's sister has been the regent."

He deceived the Ming Dynasty, tested the Ming Dynasty's foreign policy, repeatedly jumped on the edge of death, and watched the Ming Dynasty's reaction. If there was no reaction, he would go further.

Zhu Qiyu almost laughed out of anger. He didn't know that Ye Xian was related to King Zhongshun, let alone that Ye Xian's sister was regent. He instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"After that came the Tumubao Incident." Hu Hui stopped explaining how the Ming Dynasty lost the Seven Guards of Kansai during the Zhengtong period.

Following the path of cultivating Wen De and Xing Wen and Wu's general strategy, Xing Wen and Wu built a fortress of earth and wood, and even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was captured.

Yu Qian sat up straight and said: "Although he is very impatient first, he is not a fool. On the contrary, his policy is the same as that of his father, Grandpa Mahamu."

"When the Ming Dynasty was strong, it retreated; when the Ming Dynasty was weak, it advanced. Gradually, a joint force was formed outside the Great Wall. This was the case for Hami, Tatar, Uliangha, and the Jiannu of the three guards of Jianzhou."

"The Ming Dynasty successively won great victories in the capital, Xuanfu, Jining, and Hetao, but it did not damage its roots, but it still moved westward."

"Once Ming frees up his hands, he knows that he will definitely lose."

Yu Qian said with a smile: "I also left Alazhiyuan behind and Lin behind, that is the day when I plan to make a comeback."

"He will definitely come back, because if his heart is unclear, his will will not be settled, and he will not be reconciled."

Yu Qianhe is also an old rival.

After the Battle of the Capital, they reached the Hetao area. During this process, Yu Qian always expected the enemy to be ahead of him.

Yu Qian's ability to predict the enemy was not based on divination. His ability was due to Daming's intelligence capabilities, Yu Qian's understanding of Yexian, and Yu Qian's understanding of people.

The mind is unclear and the mind is not calm.

Ye Xian lives a little older, but he is still in a state of life with me, and has not reached a state of selflessness. He will be blinded by ambition and do some radical things.

Yu Qian continued: "According to the analysis of intelligence from various merchants, Sai Yin Buhua, Wang Fu, Wang Yue and others, the news of Wala's westward advance has caused an uproar in the Western Regions."

"The filial sons of Timur's kingdom are finally no longer fighting for the throne. They can sit down and discuss how to deal with the Western invasion of Oara."

In the last years of Hongwu, the Kingdom of Timur conquered cities and territories ranging from the Asia Minor Peninsula in the west, Congling in the east, and the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea in the south. Timur left a huge family property to his descendants.

Timur was dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty and stopped paying tribute during the Yongle year. He also launched an eastern expedition against the Ming Dynasty. Three days after setting off, Timur himself died of illness, and the eastern expedition came to nothing.

After that, Timur's filial sons and grandsons began to fight for power.

Yu Qian said helplessly: "From the third year of Yongle to the ninth year of Yongle, in just six years, the royal flag on the top of the city of Samarkand changed four times."

"In the ninth year of Yongle, Timur's fourth son, Shaharul, succeeded to the throne and sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty. This was when things became stable."

Zhu Qiyu said blankly: "Wang Qi's four changes?"

Good guy, the king's flag changed four times in six years, and once Tamerlane died, the whole of Central Asia fell into chaos?

If the deer is lost, it will be a low-ranking dynasty, and no one will be able to recover.
