National War (10)

A family feast for the increasingly estranged relationship between the father and son broke up. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Prince Zhenjin Yu said goodbye, went out of Yanchun Pavilion, and walked towards his own East Palace-Longfu Palace. Longfu Palace is located outside the palace city, within the imperial city, far away from the inner court, at this moment when the palace city was first built on both sides of the road planted willow trees have already lost their leaves, dry branches with the gust of north wind shrinking**, like a few days ago when the innocent people were driven out of the city cries.

Zhenjin knew that he couldn't do anything, Jiangshan Sheji and his crown prince were Kublai Khan's, and the Great Khan could toss as much as he wanted. If you really want to achieve a stable life for the people, the ambition of merging the major khanates that have split up into one must first cross the threshold of Kublai Khan.

has been a prince for decades, and he has some wings of his own. Although Kublai Khan took the opportunity to cut off a lot of the last time he fought with Ahma, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers in the capital who obey his orders at this moment. ...... if a mutiny is launched? Thinking of this, Zhenjin couldn't help but shudder. The willow trees on both sides of the road looked more and more haggard, like lonely ghosts with nowhere to stay.

He couldn't do that, although no one could stop him from ascending to the throne after killing Kublai Khan. But at present, a bloody war between the north and the south is urgent, and a civil strife is enough to completely destroy the Great Yuan Dynasty. But with Kublai Khan's statecraft, he can defeat the remnants of the Song Dynasty, Zhenjin is really not sure. The master taught him to be an inner sage and an outer king, but his father, Kublai Khan, continued to push the people of the world to the opposite side of the Great Yuan.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Longfu Palace has arrived!" An extremely unfamiliar voice reminded Zhenjin's ear. Zhenjin, who was contemplating, was startled, and looked up to see a purple eggplant face.

"It turned out to be General Yuechicher, why did you come with you!" Zhenjin jumped off his horse, handed the reins to the squire, and asked as he raised his leg and stepped up the sweaty white jade steps. This disgusting eggplant face belongs to the cowardly Xue Changyue Chicher, who was born in the Mongolian Xu Wushen clan and is the great-grandson of Borhu, one of Genghis Khan's "Four Masters". Ping Suri and the prince of the East Palace have always been on good terms, but today I don't know what wind blew over.

"The minister was ordered by the emperor to give the prince a ride. Long live the spring and autumn is high, and the hot body can't blow this cold wind. Therefore, the ministers sent each other, with the love of father and son! Yuechicher bowed and bowed, and returned the salute.

Hearing this, the prince Zhenjin was even more shocked. I was dissatisfied with my father in my heart, and I must have no good face along the way. If it is truthfully reported by Yue Chicher, I am afraid that a request will be inevitable. He instinctively turned around and wanted to consult with Buhumu about countermeasures, but Huo Ran remembered that Buhumu was sent to the Western Regions, and now he didn't have a wise man around him who was above Ye Li in terms of experience and knowledge.

"Why don't the prince invite the ministers in for a cup of tea, it's a cold day, and blowing the north wind outside is not hospitality!" Yue Chi Cher seemed to see through Zhenjin's thoughts, smiled, and took the initiative to apply to be a guest in the East Palace.

With his status as a cowardly Xue Chang, and today's task of seeing off the crown prince for Kublai Khan, the request to enter the East Palace for a cup of tea is not too much. The crown prince Zhenjin knew that since this person took the initiative to ask to enter the palace to drink tea, he would definitely not go into his slander, his pale face eased slightly, and he stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture.

"General Tsukichicher, please!"

"In this way, I will disturb Your Highness!"

The two were polite for a while, and approached the prince's east palace one after another. The style here is very different from the Yanchun Pavilion, where Kublai Khan loved to live. The older Kublai Khan gets, the more he likes luxury and opulence, so the inner court is decorated with gold walls, full of ivory, precious stones, bells and other rich things, and even the cloister in the courtyard has to be painted with several layers of gold dust to set off the royal nobility. The shape of the East Palace where the prince Zhenjin lives is much more elegant, with white walls, green tiles, green trees, even in winter, there is flowing water gurgling under the small bridge, just like a famous garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is elegant here, and when I saw it today, it really made people feel dusty!" Yuechichel followed behind Zhenjin for a distance of about half a step, and praised while watching.

Let the general smile, back then, the master gave lectures to Zhenjin here, and often mentioned the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. Later, in order to remember my teacher, I retouched it according to the description in the book. After assisting my father every day, taking a turn here really makes people feel a lot more relaxed! Zhenjin modestly explained that he didn't know the meaning of Yuechicher's intention, so the topic could only stay on the comments on the pavilions.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed, and he can still enter filial piety under his father's knees when he is near. Yue Chi Cheer is very envious, my father sacrificed his life for the country when I was a teenager. When he is older, he can't share his father's worries. "Tsukichichel cleverly took advantage of the prince's topic to shift the focus of the conversation to domestic matters. He entered the palace at the age of sixteen as a coward, and soon his father died in Dali. There are not many opportunities for fathers and sons to get along with each other, so there is no conflict of ideas between the younger generation of heroes and the older generation of heroes in ordinary families.

"The general's family has been my Dayuan Zhongliang for generations!" Zhenjin suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Yuechicher. At this moment, he finally understood the deep meaning of Kublai Khan's sending Yue Chi Cher to send him off, and his anxious heart was also touched by the strong fatherly love in it, and bursts of warmth swelled up. ，

"It's a great honor to be praised by the prince!" Yuechichel replied with a laugh, and followed Zhenjin into the prince's study.

Successfully completed the mission assigned by Kublai Khan, and Yuechi Cher was very happy. After drinking a cup of tea in the study, chatting a few words about the recent major events in the government and the opposition, and then taking resign on the grounds that the task of defending the palace was on his shoulders, he hurried back to Yanchun Pavilion.

It was already late at night, and Kublai Khan had not yet slept. During his expedition, all government affairs were handled by the crown prince Zhenjin. After the class teacher returned to the court, he had to go through some important criticisms again to make up for the omissions left by the improper handling of the prince's mansion.

Seeing Yuechier returning, Kublai Khan threw the fold in his hand into a huge wooden basket beside him, and asked with a smile, "Has the prince returned to the palace?" Are you still complaining that this old man is in my way? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very remorseful, and after seeing the minister, he blamed himself, hoping that the minister would apologize to His Majesty on his behalf, and ask Your Majesty to forgive him for the crime of collision!" Tsukichicher stepped forward and smiled in return.

"Forget it, don't hide it for him, I know what kind of son I raised. Hey, I've been sitting on the emperor's seat for too long, and I'm bound to cause resentment for a long time! Kublai Khan shook his head with a wry smile and said angrily. He sent Yuechicher to test Zhenjin's attitude, and he didn't expect the other party to bring back any good words. The more filial piety Yue Chi Cher said about Zhenjin, the more it shows that the estrangement between father and son has been so deep that hundreds of officials dare not interfere.

"The emperor is so sage, the longer he governs the country, the more it is a blessing for the people. If you can live it, long live it, I don't know how many people will thank Changshengtian for her favor! Yuechicher heard the unhappiness in Kublai Khan's words and explained in a low voice.

"It's nonsense, if that's the case, my prince, the emperor's grandson, must not stab the immortal heaven overturned!" Kublai Khan laughed and punched Yuechicher and scolded.

"Ahh Yue Chi Cheer pretended not to be able to stand the strong force coming from his shoulder, and he took six or seven steps back to stabilize his body. While retreating, he praised: "Your Majesty is still able to knock the ministers away with one punch, which emperor has such a strong physique throughout the ages?" ”

Kublai Khan was amused by Yuechicher and smiled slightly, and his heart was depressed and evacuated a lot. The guard in front of him has been in the palace since he was sixteen years old, and Kublai Khan has almost watched him grow up for more than 20 years, and the feelings between each other are similar to those of his own uncle and nephew, and some of his inner words are not hidden from him. Rubbing his fists, he sighed: "I know your kindness, but the affairs of the emperor's family are different from the people's family!" ”

"It's no different, the father and son of the common people also dispute, and when the son is older, he naturally thinks that what his father says may not be reasonable. But after the dispute is over, it will be over, and it is also for the prosperity of the family business, who will remember it. In fact, the minister listened to the dispute between His Majesty's father and son outside the door tonight, and he was very envious! Yue Chi Cheer persuaded politely.

"What's the matter, is it worth envy to have a son who is disobedient?" Kublai Khan asked with a smile.

In an instant, Yue Chicher's eyes were a little red, he lowered his head, and whispered: "The minister usually sees other people's fathers and sons discord and argues over trivial matters. I always think that if my father is still alive, I will also quarrel with him, and see what it is like to quarrel between father and son! ”。

Kublai Khan suddenly felt that something was stabbing him in the heart, and it was not a good taste of sourness and sourness. The Mongols are very rough-hearted, and there are very few people who are as careful as the moon and Chicher. Kublai Khan thought about the early death of the lost man on the battlefield, and he was forever separated from his family. And his children and grandchildren are full, and he can often sit in one place and drink milk tea and chat, and suddenly feel that Yue Chicher's words are very reasonable. Compared with the relationship between father and son, the political dispute with Zhenjin is indeed insignificant. Anyway, this country will eventually fall into the hands of real gold, so it is better to give him more opportunities to try his own governance concept now.

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan asked in a low voice: "The prince said that Lu Shirong and others forced the people to move to collect money. What do you think about this? ”

"The prince shouldn't have agreed at the beginning, but now, he shouldn't regret it!" Tsukichichel raised his head and replied loudly. As Kublai Khan's cowardice, he himself had the duty to make suggestions to the emperor. Lu Shirong and others drove the poor families out of the capital, and forcibly moved the surrounding rich families into the city, which caused anger and resentment, even if Kublai Khan didn't ask, he also wanted to find a suitable opportunity to join a few Hanchen.

"You sit, let's talk about it in detail!" Kublai Khan kicked over a sheepskin stool and whispered orders. Hututmur once said that Yue Chicher, Wan Ze and other young and timid Xue are talented, and today he just took this opportunity to test how high Yue Chicher's talent is.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to agree to Lu Shirong's request in order to raise silver taels and celebrate His Majesty's victory. Although this move raised a large amount of silver taels for the national treasury, it chilled the hearts of the people of Zhongshu Province. The people here first followed Da Liao, then followed Da Jin, and then belonged to our Da Yuan, and they were not nostalgic for the Southern Dynasty. After chilling your heart, you will inevitably be moved by the rhetoric of the thief! "Yue Chi Cheer analyzed the harm caused by Lu Shirong's excessive exploitation of the people in a very methodical manner. Looking up at Kublai Khan's face, he continued to add: "But in this matter, there are many Chinese military officials and Mongolian princes and ministers, and now everyone wants to profit from the sale of real estate. If the matter of migrating people is suddenly stopped, it will cause great disaster! ”

"Hmm!" Kublai Khan stroked his beard and looked happily at the timid Xue Chang who was sitting on the low stool in front of him. Although he did not agree with some of Yuechicher's views, the other party's analysis of "there are many participants" at the end did hit the nail on the head.

Maybe it's because of Lu Shirong's cunning, maybe it's because the Mongolian Nayan people are greedy. From the very beginning, the matter of forcibly evicting people has involved the interests of many people. Prince Zhenjin blamed the blame on a few initiators, and it was too simple to consider. This must be carried out to the end, and no amount of crying can be stopped. Kublai Khan's insistence was needed from the perspective of the treasury of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and from the perspective of stabilizing the Mongol princes and nobles, Kublai Khan also needed to insist.

"But the minister also has a way to increase the revenue of the treasury and save some of the people's hearts!" Seeing that Kublai Khan was not angry, Yuechi Cher tentatively suggested.

"Speak up, and I'll hear if your solution works!" Kublai Khan smiled encouragingly.

"Lu Shirong is unscrupulous in order to make up for the deficit of the national treasury, and on the surface he is loyal to His Majesty, but in fact he is a national thief and silverfish! Guo Shoujing used celestial phenomena to deceive the imperial court, and he was also guilty of deceiving the king. But the heavens are impermanent, and perhaps what they say is not necessarily false. As for Zhao Bingwen, he was forced to be helpless in order to make up for the deficit in repairing the city. However, the three of them are Hanchen, and the people who suffer from them are all Jurchen, Khitan and Han people, so even if the people who have lost their homes scold, they should also scold those Hanchens who deceived the emperor, and they should not blame our Mongols and Your Majesty for their faults! Yue Chi Cheer opened his mouth, and led the contradiction to the dispute between the courtiers and the clan. This was originally Kublai Khan's favorite topic, but it came out of Yuechicher's mouth, but it did not cause him any displeasure.

Xiaochen heard that Lu Shirong had been managing the country's finances for less than two years, and his family assets had exceeded one million. And now that prices are soaring everywhere, it is no longer possible to pay money. It can be seen that he not only failed His Majesty's trust, but also bent the law for bribes! Many imperial histories in the imperial court have been on the book to visit him, including some people with color eyes, and they have handed the emperor an excerpt! These words were spoken incoherently, but Kublai Khan's heart brightened up after hearing them, as if someone had lit 10,000 candles in front of him.

"As Qing said, do you mean that the reason why prices are soaring and paying money like paper is that there are traitors in the court?" Kublai Khan nodded and asked quietly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Tsukichiel replied loudly.

"Courtier, Your Majesty!" This sentence is a truth that is not easy in ancient and modern times, since Lu Shirong has made up for the deficit in the treasury, since the people have been driven out of their homes, and since the surrounding rich families have begun to migrate to the capital by order, Lu Shirong's role will come to an end. For him to make the royal family father and son discordant, the people complained, it is indeed not worth it.

Kublai Khan pondered for a moment, and slowly had an idea in his heart. Glancing at Yuechicher, who was waiting for his decision, he asked in a low voice, "You have been with me for a few years, and I have never calculated?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister entered the palace at the age of sixteen to be a coward, and it has been almost twenty years now. In the future, I still want to serve by His Majesty's side and do my best for my Great Yuan Dynasty! Tsukichichel was ecstatic in his heart, and replied with a straight chest.

"Well, Guanglu Temple Zhengqing said goodbye to his hometown, and I am worried that there is no one to replace him. You go and take up that position, do a good job, and don't disgrace your grandfather Borhu and your father.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Hong En!" Tsukichichel rolled down from the stool, lay on the ground and kowtowed respectfully a few times. Guanglu Temple Zhengqing is also in charge of the palace guards and royal meals and sacrifices. Although the position of Zheng Sanpin is not high, it is a real gap that can communicate inside and outside the court. Because this position can be privately admonished to the monarch, almost no civil and military officials under the prime minister are not concerned. Receiving this position not only meant Kublai Khan's trust, but also gave Yuechicher's family a chance to regain its glory.

Kublai Khan nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled Yuechicher up from the ground, and whispered: "I have always taken you with me, treating you as a nephew, and in the future, you will do your best to assist the prince." In a few days, I also plan to let Wan Ze go out to do the right Zhan thing of the True Golden Prince's Mansion. There is also Hara Hasun, I am going to let him enter the Zongren Mansion. I'm getting older, and I'm going to ask you young people to use more brains in the future. It is not easy for the Great Khan of all dynasties to defeat the country, and everyone must work together to manage it well! ”

"Your Majesty will never grow old!" Tsukichi Cheel sincerely wishes. When I looked up, I saw a few gray hairs fluttering gently on Kublai Khan's forehead.

Kublai Khan was indeed old, although on the surface he was still full of energy. But the tiredness in his eyes had already told Tsukichicher that he was forcing himself to persevere. From today's official arrangement, Yuechi Cher can deduce that Kublai Khan began to slowly pave the way for real gold, and as a close minister of the emperor, he was glad that he had made a correct choice at a critical moment.

As for Lu Shirong, Yuechichel had clearly predicted his fate. "Do you want to give him a breath and thank me before he dies?" Yuechicher thought secretly, and the gleam in his eyes flashed at an angle that Kublai Khan couldn't notice.

It was snowing, and the wind outside was carrying snow particles and crackling against the windows.
