"If Bu Zhai heard what you said, he would definitely think that you raised your daughter for nothing!"
Zhu Yijun took Bussia Mara's hand and smiled. "You don't have to be so careful in front of me. I won't do anything to you because of your family."
"Your Majesty!"
Bussia Mara smiled. "We Jurchens have our own rules. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since I am Your Majesty's woman, I naturally have to think for Your Majesty first.
Besides, what I said is not a lie. I don't have that ability. If I insist on doing it, it will only bring disaster. "
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a serious expression, "Unfortunately, there are very few people in the world who know this. Many people still can't see it clearly!" Shaking his head, Zhu Yijun smiled. "Don't worry about them. Let them be!"
"But you can rest assured. They won't do anything to your father and brother."
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Bussia Mara let out a sigh of relief.
Compared to her father and brother, Bussia Mara could see it more clearly. Whether it was her father or brother or Nurhaci, none of them had any hope of unifying the Jurchens.
How could this Daming Emperor allow someone to unify the Jurchens?
From this point of view, this matter was simply impossible.
Just as Zhu Yijun was about to enjoy himself, Zhang Jing walked in from the stage and bowed in front of Zhu Yijun. "Imperial Majesty, Nurhaci and his brother Shuerhaqi went to Li Chengliang's place."
Zhu Yijun froze and raised an eyebrow. "What did they say?"
"Nurhaci wants to offer ten Jurchens to the Imperial Majesty. At the same time, he wants to give his daughter Nenzhe to the Imperial Majesty as a concubine." Zhang Jing didn't hide anything and said directly.
Zhu Yijun nodded as a smile appeared on his face.
As expected, as long as he was here, even if he didn't do anything, many people wouldn't be able to sit still.
After some thought, Zhu Yijun asked again, "What did Li Chengliang do?"
"Lord Li refused Nurhaci. Lord Li said that His Majesty had already decreed that no place was allowed to offer beauties."
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun smiled. "Li Chengliang is afraid!"
With that, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Go and check if Nurhachi's brother Shuerhaqi has a daughter of the right age."
Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment before he replied, "In reply to the Imperial Majesty, there is!"
"Imperial Majesty, Shurhaqi's eldest daughter is called Eshkota. She's 14 years old this year!" Zhang Jing didn't even need to investigate. He knew exactly what Zhu Yijun was concerned about.
A lot of things had long been memorized in his mind. If the Imperial Majesty asked about it without any preparation and still wanted to investigate, then he was not qualified as a great eunuch.
It was not surprising that Zhang Jing knew about Zhu Yijun. Shurhaqi had a 14-year-old daughter, which was quite suitable.
Rubbing his chin, Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Go and find Nurhachi and Shurhaqi."
With that, Zhu Yijun looked up at Zhang Jing and said, "You know what to do, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Jing hurriedly bowed and said, "The Old Slave wants to gain favor in front of the Imperial Majesty, so he naturally has to offer beauties to the Imperial Majesty. Shurhaqi's eldest daughter, Eshkota, has long been famous. The Old Slave naturally wants to offer her to the Imperial Majesty."
Zhu Yijun nodded, then waved his hand and said, "All right, go and do it!"
Bussia Mara listened on the side. Although she had a smile on her face, she was shocked by Zhu Yijun's arrangement.
Zhu Yijun's arrangement was obviously targeted at Nurhachi. This was to divide the brotherhood!
Although it was obvious at a glance that this was to divide the brotherhood, this was an overt plot!
Once Shurhaqi's daughter became Zhu Yijun's concubine, and Zhu Yijun especially favored her, it would be strange if there was no hostility between the Shurhaqi brothers.
After the seed of distrust was planted, it would definitely take root and sprout.
"Your Majesty is really wise!" Bussia Mara leaned against Zhu Yijun and said with a face full of admiration.
Reaching out and caressing Bussia Mara's little face, Zhu Yijun smiled faintly.
In fact, the matter just now was not hidden from Bussia Mara. The reason was very simple, it was a deterrent.
Zhu Yijun was telling Bussia Mara, this woman, to be obedient and not make trouble, otherwise, something bad would happen.
"Your Majesty, didn't Li Chengliang Daren Li disagree?"
Bussia Mara raised her head and asked cautiously, "These tribes in Liaodong are very afraid of Li Chengliang Daren Li. Daren Li has already disallowed it. Will Nurhachi and the others still dare?"
Zhu Yijun chuckled, "What is there to dare or not dare? Some things have to be done, it has nothing to do with whether they dare or not."
Zhu Yijun was very clear about Nurhachi's situation. Once the Yehe tribe rose, Nurhachi would inevitably be suppressed.
Li Chengliang did not agree to Nurhachi's offer of his daughter in order to hold Nurhachi in his hand.
Nurhachi would definitely find a way to break out of the situation, otherwise, he would become the weakest of the three parties.
At that time, whether it was Yehe or Li Chengliang, they would all knead him.
If Li Chengliang and Yehe reached an agreement one day, then Nurhachi would be meat on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
Under such circumstances, Nurhachi didn't dare to do anything. He had to take the risk.
Zhu Yijun would not allow things in Liaodong to go in the direction of Li Chengliang and Yehe. So marrying a Jianzhou Jurchen woman to maintain the balance was Zhu Yijun's only choice.
It was just that when the passive one was to marry Nurhachi's daughter, Zhu Yijun chose to take the initiative to marry Shurhaqi's daughter.
Zhu Yijun even thought more. If possible, Zhu Yijun could consider transferring Shurhaqi to North Korea to participate in the battle against Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
After the battle, Shurhaqi would be moved to the Dandong area with his contribution.
Jianzhou Jurchen was divided into two, and Nurhachi's unified Jianzhou Jurchen would be divided again.
It would not be so easy to unify after the division. Zhu Yijun was sure that Shurhaqi would agree.
In history, Shurhaqi wanted to move out and be independent, but was finally imprisoned by Nurhachi until he died.
In his previous life, with the unification of the Jurchen tribes, Nurhachi had enough power to fight against Daming. His hostile attitude towards Daming was also increasingly obvious, and his subordinates often had armed conflicts with the Ming Army.
Daming was uneasy about the situation in Liaodong.
In the 29th year of Wanli, Daming used Li Chengliang, the deposed former Liaodong Army Commander, hoping that he could reverse the bad situation at that time.
At the beginning of Li Chengliang's term, he adopted the original policy of disintegration of the Jurchen tribes.
He took advantage of the conflict between Shurhaqi and his elder brother to rope him in, treat him with courtesy, and think highly of him.
Li Chengliang let his son Li Rubai marry Shurhaqi's daughter as a concubine, making the relationship between the two sides closer.
Under Li Chengliang's temptation and encouragement, Shurhaqi naturally had the mentality of establishing himself as a king. Zhu Yijun believed that as long as he married Shurhaqi's daughter, he would probably have the intention without any encouragement.
