Chapter 633 Changes in the Western Regions
What Yang Yiqing meant was that what the envoy said might not be true.

It is impossible that the Western Regions would rebel for no reason at this time. There must be something behind it.

Of course, even if Yang Yiqing didn’t say it, Zhu Houzhao would have thought so.

He pondered for a moment and said to Fei Hong, “I understand. Ask General Yang to arrange for the group of envoys in Hami first and see what we can get out of them.”

“I will send people to the Western Regions for an in-depth investigation. This matter is serious. Do not tell others that I am sending people to secretly investigate the Western Regions.”

“According to the order!”

……

The backyard of the Chen Mansion is the Yongding River.

Chen Ce was sitting in a wheelchair under the willow tree. It was a very hot summer day, and it was a little cooler under the shade of the tree. Chen Ce was fishing with a fishing rod.

Fu Yuan also brought a set of fishing gear and a straw hat on his head. He moved a small stool and sat next to Chen Ce. He threw the fishing rod into the water and fished for a while. He kept watching Chen Ce catching fish and couldn’t help complaining, “I don’t know what’s so fun about fishing. I hate fishing the most!”

Chen Ce smiled and said, “If you hate fishing, why do you come here?”

Fu Yuan said, “It’s all because of you! I said I wanted to quit my job at the factory, but you insisted on provoking me.”

Chen Ce: “???”

“Didn’t you say that it wasn’t because I provoked you, but because you wanted to prove that you were better than me?”

“What’s wrong? Does the Emperor have an errand for you?”

Fu Yuan sighed and said, “Something happened in the Western Regions.”

Chen Ce frowned.

He doesn’t care much about what’s happening in the court now, so he doesn’t know what’s happening in the Western Regions.

In Chen Ce’s opinion, now that the Ming Dynasty was at peace, the least likely place to get into trouble should be the U-Tsang Regional Administration. After all, there had been peace for more than a hundred years, and the system in the Western Regions was already sound. With religion taking charge of the entire Western Regions, the people in the Western Regions had no complaints, were self-sufficient, and worshipped religion.

What’s going to happen in this place?

Fu Yuan said: “Yang Yiqing sent a letter to the court, saying that there was a rebellion in the U-Tsang Region.”

Chen Ce was shocked and asked, “Rebellion? Why?”

In the place where Chen Ce thought that nothing would happen, a rebellion actually broke out?
Since Zhu Houzhao has already mobilized Fu Yuan, it shows that the rebellion in the Western Regions is definitely not a trivial matter.

Fu Yuan said: “The scale of the rebellion was quite large. The Ming army in the Western Regions was almost completely slaughtered, and several envoys also died.”

“A few managed to escape and went to Hami. They told Yang Yiqing that the lamas in the Western Regions wanted to take advantage of the new emperor’s ascension to the throne and the transfer of power to establish their independence.”

Chen Ce: “…If that is true, the Ming Dynasty has gone through so many dynasties and so many new emperors have ascended the throne. Why did they wait until the current emperor ascended the throne before rebelling?”

Fu Yuan smiled and said, “Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong. Something must have happened in the Western Regions. They have sealed off all the entrances to the Western Regions. People from the Ming Dynasty cannot get in at all.”

“No one knows what happened in the Western Regions right now, and the words of the several envoys may not be credible, so the emperor asked me to go to the Western Regions to see what happened.”

Chen Ce had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure. He asked Fu Yuan suspiciously: “You just said that all the roads leading to Tibet are blocked. If that’s the case, how do you get in?”

Fu Yuan said: “Just walk in, how else can you get in? Let’s talk about it when we get there. I don’t know the specific method to get in, but the people of the Western Regions are also human beings, and everyone has weaknesses. It shouldn’t be too difficult to enter Tibet.”

Chen Ce: “…Is that what I’m asking? You are a Han Chinese, how do you conceal your identity?”

Fu Yuan: “Just learn Tibetan, it’s not difficult.”

Well, he did underestimate Fu Yuan.

“At worst, just pretend to be dumb.”

Chen Ce: “…”

“So I came here to say goodbye to you. Tomorrow I will go to the Western Regions to check out the situation. I don’t know when I will be back.” “Damn it, I thought I would come to Peking to retire, play chess and fish with you, and analyze national affairs.”

“Who knows that I still can’t escape the fate of hard work… Chen Chunjian, wait until I come back before you die!”

Chen Ce: “If I could control when I would die, I would wait until you die before dying.”

Fu Yuan laughed loudly, threw the fishing rod to Chen Ce and said, “I don’t want to fish anymore. It’s boring.”

“Took the bait.”

“what?”

Chen Ce pointed at Fu Yuan’s fishing rod and said, “The fish is on the hook.”

“Fuck! It’s true.”

Fu Yuan hurriedly pulled up the fishing rod, and a big carp was caught.

Fu Yuan smiled and said, “No wonder you like fishing so much. Fishing is really fun.”

Chen Ce: “Be careful. If something goes wrong in the Western Region, come back quickly and bring more people with you.”

Fu Yuan smiled and said, “Haha, Chen Ce, you underestimate me too much, don’t you?”

“I have been to such a dangerous place in the Northern Frontier. Are there any more dangerous places in the Western Regions?”

Chen Ce: “Well, it’s right to be careful anyway, don’t try to show off…”

“Also, you are always so conceited. This is not a good habit. Conceit means arrogance, and arrogance will lead you into the trap set for you by others.”

“You think you are very smart, but there may be people who are smarter than you.”

Fu Yuan smiled and said, “I know, you, who else is there in this world besides you?”

“I’m not going to talk nonsense with you anymore. I’m leaving. I’m leaving early tomorrow morning. I’ll be back in a month, at most a month.”

“it is good!”

……

U-Tsang Dusi.

After Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty established the Xuanwei Office in the Western Regions, the Western Regions began to be under the jurisdiction of the Ming court.

This place is a mixed governance of religion, military and politics. Because the emperor is far away, the envoys are almost local emperors here, and the position is hereditary.

People in the inland areas of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to come to the Western Regions to suffer.

Zhu Di stationed eight envoys in the Western Regions, three of whom were killed and five escaped.

The five envoys are now in Hami City.

The most prestigious envoy among them was Gao Zhongshun, whose ancestors were Zhu Di’s personal guards, and he had been a hereditary envoy in the Western Regions.

The relationships in the Western Regions were complicated, and Gao Zhongshun had a large network of influence in the Western Regions. Logically, he shouldn’t have been driven back in such a disgraceful manner.

Inside the Hami Provincial Government Office, the other four envoys found Gao Zhongshun and said, “Master Gao, I’m afraid that even General Yang can’t hide our lame excuse, so how can we really hide it from the court?”

Gao Zhongshun shook his head and said, “It cannot be concealed. The Emperor will definitely send people to the Western Regions.”

“Notify our people to keep a close eye on the people entering the Western Regions, find them, and kill them!”

He is the one playing the chess game of the Western Regions, and he wants to completely control the Western Regions.

Their previous atrocities in the Western Regions would sooner or later be exposed. In the past, there were crises all around the Ming Dynasty, and the court’s eyes did not pay attention to the Western Regions. But now that the Ming Dynasty is at peace, the atrocities in the Western Regions will sooner or later be discovered!
