Shun Di shook his head. ”I'm not talking about victory or defeat.” ”The international purple-white plate was mostly taken by me.” Tu Yuhun said: ”So what? It's the emperor's rice bowl, and you should have it with you. ”
Emperor Shun said, ”It is the emperor's meal bowl. It also symbolizes that China will always return to the unity. Ancestor Kublai had ordered: 'The international purple-white plate' is not allowed to leave the main hall. How dare I disobey the decree of the late emperor? To be an unfilial descendant! General Hu, send it back to Daju for me. ”
Tu Yuhun knew that once he left, Shun Di wouldn't have as many loyal guards by his side anymore. Tu Yuhun was moved from the bottom of her heart as she cried, ”Your Majesty, once I leave, who will protect you? This was an unusual time, with evil intentions. I can't leave you. Don't bother with the late emperor's imperial edict. This time, that time. That's your job, you can't do without it. ”
Shun Di turned serious again. ”General Hu, do you think I'm still the Emperor?” Tu Yuhun was surprised for a moment, then quickly kneeled down, ”You are the Emperor, always the Emperor.” Emperor Shun said, ”I'm still the emperor. I'm giving you an order right in front of your face. Why aren't you respecting me?”
Tu Yuhun was helpless, and said: ”This subject is Tu Yuhun's order!” He immediately took the ”international purple-white plate” from the guard. Emperor Shun said resolutely, ”I want to restore the Da Yuan Empire! I want to go back to the Central Plains! I want to go back to Dugan! ”
The officials also shouted, ”Return to the Central Plains! ”Return to Daju!” ”Remember what we Mongolians have been saying for generations: There are treasures hidden in the Central Plains, and they return to the Central Plains from all directions. Our patriarch, Genghis Khan, sleeps in the fertile land of the Central Plains. This is the last words left to us by Supervisor Lei. ” After saying this, Shun Di mounted his horse and rode off into the desert with his imperial concubine, eunuch, and many civil and military officials behind him.
Tu Yuhun watched as Shundi left. He was reluctant to part with him, so he bowed to him, then brought along his ”international purple-white plate” and rode his horse back to Big Dipper. He walked for a few days through the morning sun of Fuxin and arrived at the foot of the Great Capital at night. The city gates were heavily guarded by the Ming army, who were waving their flags in the wind. Tu Yuhun did not dare to alarm Ming Jun, and immediately rode his horse to circle around the city. There were soldiers standing guard at the entrance, and they were all on high alert. All the men of Ming Army wore red felt hats, holding long spears in their hands as they stood majestically. Tu Yuhun saw that he was still wearing the general's uniform of the Yuan Dynasty, so he dared not enter the city. After hesitating for a while, he sighed to himself, ”Long live! Long live! It is not that this subject does not respect your decree. ”I can't enter this city anymore.” The international purple-white plate will not be able to go back much for a while. ”
Tu Yuhun was miserable and did not know what to do by himself. His mount was a spirit horse, and it whinnied when it saw its home and wouldn't let it into the city. He then straightened his mane and tail, using his hooves to dig the ground and insist on going in. Tu Yuhun was shocked. He forced his horse to stop and galloped west.
After leaving the city, Tu Yuhun reined in his horse and sighed: ”I am a general of the Great Yuan Dynasty, a good subject to the Emperor. If a loyal official was unable to protect his second master, what could he do? Right now, I am a stranger and the Ming army is everywhere, so the environment is not good for me. This treasure cannot fall into the hands of the Ming army. ” He was in a dilemma, hesitant, and reminded of his home in Tibet.
Finally, Tu Yuhun said in his heart, ”I might as well bring the treasure back to my hometown for safekeeping. ”One day, I returned home after following the Emperor and recovered my Yuan Dynasty. I will bring more treasures to offer, so I won't lose my loyal official status.” He made up his mind, worried about the Ming army's layers of checkpoints. He took a detour north along the edge of the desert to the Western Regions. Tu Yuhun went to Cha Har and asked around. He found out that there were no Ming army from Cha Har to the west. Relieved and happy, he stayed all night in Chahar, and the next day he set off on his journey alone.
It was midwinter. Wherever Tu Yuhun went, a cold wind blew and the sound of wind whistled. Yellow sand flew in the air, causing him to feel extreme pain. It was painful. Tu Yuhun insisted on rushing. It really was: walking alone on the endless road, not knowing when it would arrive at Yangguan.
In the desert, in the middle of nowhere, walking Tu Yuhun: hungry and unable to eat; thirsty and unable to drink; sleepy and unable to sleep; exhausted. As he walked, the horse's hunger and thirst were greatly reduced. Tu Yuhun had to walk for more than a month before he finally reached Jia Yu Pass. He dismounted before the pass, rested for the night, and continued his journey the next day.
Tu Yuhun continued to walk for a few more days, before once again entering the boundless desert and grassland. The weather there was bad, the weather was cold, and the road was difficult.
Just as Tu Yuhun walked out of the desert and grassland, a large snowy mountain blocked his way. He reined in his horse and looked at the road, saying to himself: ”The mountains in front of us are covered with snow all year round, and it is difficult to ride through them.” I have to take a detour. ”
He had been walking in a certain direction for only a day when the weather suddenly began to snow again, a rare snowflake. Seeing that he could not rush, Tu Yuhun looked around for shelter. Everywhere he went, there was only snow. No one smoked. He had no choice but to make his way in the snow. Unexpectedly, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The wind sweeps the snowflakes, and one cannot see clearly. The people and horses have difficulty opening their eyes and moving forward. Tu Yuhun lost his way amidst the snowstorm.
