Hunting (4)

In the capital of March, there were three feet of soil on the flat ground, and when the horses stepped on it, the smoke and dust rose high, shrouding the entire official road in thick yellow smoke. Zhongshu Pingzhang Political Affairs Ahma panted and galloped in the dust, his big fat face like a pot helmet was full of soil, washed by sweat, black and white, and it was very good-looking. Strange to say, this authoritarian figure, who had always liked to sit in a sedan chair, couldn't bear to wipe it, and only struck the horse's neck with a leather whip, urging the crotch mount to speed up a little faster.

"Old, master, it's almost here, Cangyunguan is almost here, turn the mountain beam in front of you!" The butler Muhammad panted and reported to the side.

From the morning to the present, I didn't even bother to drink saliva on the road. As a subordinate, he has no right to complain that his master is crazy, and he doesn't enjoy it, so he has to go to this barren mountain and wilderness to visit a stinky Taoist priest. But whether it was for the face of the Pingzhang family or his own soaked buttocks, he also hoped that Ahma would stop, find a farmhouse on the side of the road to wash his face, change into clean clothes, and then move on.

"Rest, rest, know rest. One day when my head is cut off, you will all be gone! Ahmad glared at the butler and scolded angrily.

"Quick, faster. The two of you, go and inform the chief of the Stacked Mountain, tell him that Lord Pingzhang is coming to visit, and ask him to prepare hot tea and snacks. The others looked for the way in front of their heads and drove the irrelevant people away. What about you, like a wooden stake......" Muhammad touched his nose, turned his head, and unleashed all his anger on the guards.

A cadre of guards was used to being yelled at, and they dared not speak angrily, beating the war horses and scattering in all directions. Ahmad took the reins, slowed down slightly, and began to gather his thoughts with the help of the oncoming mountain wind.

Ever since Kublai Khan had been given the plea requesting that his son Khusin be appointed as a "member of the Privy Council," this uneasy feeling surrounded him. Ahmad was not stupid, he knew that he was committing a taboo by doing so. But the dream of the firstborn with two horns a month ago, the assertions made by Cao Zhengui, a staff member at home when he woke up, and the fortune teller Wang Tiezui's calculation of his life, made it really difficult for him to resist those temptations.

According to the Qur'an, this strange dream of the firstborn with two horns has no meaning. But at this moment, Ahma had already converted to Marshal Zhao Gong, and was very interested in all the strange forces and chaos that were beneficial to him. A month after the strange dream of having horns on his head, all the cronies around him congratulated him on his unspeakable preciousness, and only the chief of the Stacked Mountain, who had a close relationship with him, advised him to be cautious and cautious, and Hugh to act rashly before the foundation was solidified.

"An adult is a capable minister, a favored minister, but not a powerful minister. There is no soldier in his hands, and if he loses the emperor's favor, it is easy to be overturned to the ground. Instead of fighting for military power for his sons and nephews, it is better to spend a lot of money to hand over several 10,000 households responsible for public security in the capital to consolidate the fundamentals. If you have been in business for more than ten years and have full wings, you can make other plans! "Half a month ago, after listening to Ahma's beautiful dream, he was advised.

Ahma didn't think so at the time, the reason why he interacted with the Taoist chief of Dieshan was because of the humorous eloquence of this Taoist priest and his rich family background. Since helping Dieshan Design get rid of the enemy Liu Shen, the entire Cangyunguan has regarded Ahma as a great benefactor. There is no shortage of festivals during the New Year, and Pingsuri will also continue to pay homage to the rare things that the Taoist priests have traveled around and obtained. And Ahma also appreciates Dieshan's keen and sharp thinking when analyzing current affairs, and always tells him about the major events that happened in the court, and asks him to ridicule him in the language of the market, and vent his dissatisfaction with the prince's real gold, as well as the prince's friend Buhumu and others.

The Taoist priest of Dieshan advised him not to seek military power for his son, and he got angry, but Ahma couldn't listen. However, today he clearly smelled the smell of conspiracy from the holy decree sent back by Kublai Khan from thousands of miles. The scheming Kublai Khan did not pursue Ahma's delay in the distribution of food and grass for the army, but comforted the ministers who stayed in Beijing, saying that the army had made a lot of gains and that there was enough food and grass. On the pretext that Huxin had never been in the army and was not familiar with military affairs, he rejected Ahma's recommendation to him. At the same time, in order to comfort Ahma, Kublai Khan sent the imperial historian Cui Bin, who always impeached Ahma, to prison on the charge of falsely accusing the minister. and asked the imperial guard Qin Changqing to hold his own handwritten letter, reprimanded Zhenjin in public, and ordered him not to interfere with Ahma's work again.

Kublai Khan was so holy? Ahmad couldn't believe it. According to Ahma's understanding, the relationship between the monarch and the minister in the Great Yuan Dynasty was actually a master-servant relationship, and the prince of Zhenjin and his name were monarchs and ministers, but they were actually masters and slaves. To reprimand a master for the sake of a slave has gone beyond Kublai Khan's principles of daily work.

And what thoughts are hidden behind the extraordinary move, Ahmad can't guess. After confirming that there was no large-scale military movement in the vicinity of Dadu except for the imperial guards who passed the decree, he hurriedly sent out the military rations that had just been collected in Dadu. Then early the next morning, he took the housekeeper and the guards and ran towards Cangyunguan. (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

He wanted to ask the chief of the Dieshan Dao, who was familiar with the Han people's habits, what Kublai Khan might do next. What should I do to mend the rift between the monarch and the minister? How to explain to Kublai Khan can convince this suspicious and murderous old man that he is indeed doing his best to prepare military funds, and not deliberately delaying and neglecting.

The cloud view is not large, and a small courtyard that is clean and elegant sets off the owner's cultivation. Hearing that the political affairs of Heizhang came to visit in person, the chief of the mountain road greeted him out of the mountain gate early. Three or five Taoist priests splashed the street with clear water, dusted off the white broom, and cleaned the stone road in front of the door. Ahma dismounted his mount, asked the guards to wait outside the wall, and walked in with the butler Muhammad and the chief of the mountain road.

The pale cyan mountain gate "creaked" behind everyone, closing out the hustle and bustle of the world. A few rows of fasting pigeons were frightened, and they flew up and swept towards the moistening sky to the south.

"I'm afraid that the adults will send the military rations too early!"

After washing his face, serving tea, and listening to Ahma's words, the chief of the mountain said solemnly.

"What? Early? It's been delayed for almost half a month, and if it's too late, hundreds of thousands of troops will have to starve to death in the wilderness! Ahmaleng was flustered, and the tea in his hand was almost not spilled, frowning and defending loudly.

"I wasn't in a hurry before, the emperor reprimanded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the first day, and the next day you sent the military rations out quickly. Isn't this giving the truth to a man? The chief of the mountain shook his head and reminded in a slow voice. In recent years, in the exchanges with Ahma, Dieshan has gained a lot. After becoming familiar with the habits of this color-eyed person, Dieshan slowly gained a little more affection for him while despising him. In a way, Ahma can be regarded as one of the few friends of the chief of the Stacked Mountain Road. Although this friend is greedy and lustful, he has a very different temperament from Dieshan.

Hearing this, the fat on Ahma's face twitched involuntarily, and his mind was really a little confused. Although his greed is strong, his courage has never been great. When he asked for military power for his son, he did not lie to Kublai Khan. At that time, the military rations were indeed not prepared and could not be shipped. After discovering that his plan had not succeeded yesterday, he immediately had the intention of currying favor with Kublai Khan, and quickly transported the military rations. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of outsiders, this has become a manifestation of weakness.

"You, you want to do great things before your foundation is stable. Halfway through it and then want to regret it halfway. The battle for imperial power, do you think it's a deal, and you can bargain. That's gambling, either you don't bet, or if you lose, you have to put your life into it! Seeing Ahma's panicked look, the chief of the mountain road sighed and counted down.

It is not easy to take this line, and in the past few years, it is all with Ahma's show-off, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can clearly grasp the decision-making, troop deployment, and dispatch of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang was able to calmly integrate the forces of all parties in the Great Song Dynasty and lay a stable foothold. If Ahma falls, not to mention the loss of an important source, it will require a lot of expenses to buy off such a high-ranking official.

"That, that, what's the way, let, let Banzai not doubt me!" Ahma wiped the sweat from his face and stammered.

He fully understood the meaning of the stacked mountains, if the grain and grass were not distributed, Kublai Khan's father and son would have to bear the consequences of delaying the supply of military food on the front line if they wanted to clean themselves up. But yesterday the grain and grass had already been distributed, and at this moment Kublai Khan seized his authority and activated the newcomers, so there was enough buffer time.

"There is no way to keep Kublai Khan from suspecting you, after all, you have an intention to blackmail him in advance. Now there is not enough reason to send people to chase the grain team, and it is estimated that the food team will not be able to stop advancing! The chief shook his head and gave Ahmad a negative answer. (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

"That, that, what should I do? What should I do? Dao Chief, Prince Zhenjin has always regarded me as a thorn in his side. If he really gets ruthless....... "The more Ahoma spoke, the more frightened he became, his face slowly turned pale, and his body trembled.

Now, he really regrets that he didn't listen to Dieshan's words at the beginning, and exposed his disobedience prematurely. But the disaster has already broken out, and now we need to think about how to deal with it, not how much we regret it. There are thousands of diners under his own door, but no one who can really be called far-sighted can compare to the Taoist priest in front of him who has a generous hand and a strange background.

"Regret, it's useless. It is estimated that the prince has made preparations at this moment. Lord Pingzhang, forgive me for asking bluntly, is there anyone in the capital who stays in the division, but there is anyone who has a close relationship with you? Among the subordinates, are there any people who can speak well and can meet the Great Khan to plead for you? With the power in your hands, how many soldiers and horses, can you call them without the permission of the prince? ”

"....... this?" Ahmad hesitated. The Taoist priest of Dieshan obviously meant to persuade him to transfer troops to make a rebellion, and then falsely accused the prince of persecution and asked Kublai Khan to come back to administer justice. In this way, in order to stabilize the rear, Kublai Khan had to let go of his murderous intentions and forgive Ahma's sins. And even the act of asking for military power for Kusin can be regarded as Ahma's self-protection under the persecution of the prince and his henchmen.

But is there a chance of success in doing so? Even if it succeeds, the crime of delaying Kublai Khan's northern expedition will not be able to escape, and the position of Pingzhang's political affairs will definitely have to be given to others. Is the current situation really to the point where we have to take risks?

Ahmad began to hesitate again, this was not how to accumulate money, there was nothing numerical to calculate. Although he is a little old in the army, it is not beneficial, who is willing to risk losing his head and accompany himself to do this unnatural event?

Buying a thousand households, you can't get it without 10,000 copper coins. bribed thousands of soldiers and family members, and let them fight to protect themselves, at least 200 copper coins per person per day. Until Kublai Khan rushed back from the front, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of yuan will be spent...... (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

"Don't you have a lot of money? Those things can only be spent if you have a life! Seeing that Ahma was still hesitating, the chief of the mountain road advised bitterly.

"I'll think again, think again!" Ahma waved his hand and paced around the room. After a while, I finally had a plan in my heart. walked to the table, picked up the tea bowl, gulped a few bowls of tea, and then sighed: "The left-behind Si Daru Hua Chi Bo Dun has an old relationship with me, his mother is sick, and I once gave him a hundred yuan." A few other officials, I will contact them tonight, and each of them should be paid a hundred yuan, and they should be bought to help each other. The right Shiro Nakatohan was of noble birth, and asked him to explain to His Majesty that His Majesty should know that I did not deliberately delay the supply of grain and grass. As for the other soldiers and horses, in order to keep Your Majesty from doubting too much, I better not contact them!"

"My lord is in my own hands, and I really don't know anything about marching and fighting!" Dieshan nodded and said with a light sigh. I knew in my heart that Ahma was facing such a dangerous situation, and he was still reluctant to pay for his family's money, and felt that he was pitiful and angry.

Ahma knew from the sigh of the stacked mountains that the other party thought he was too stingy and gave up his life and money. His face was slightly red, and he gritted his teeth for a long time, and he still felt pain in his flesh. After thinking about it, he said: "Huxin's eldest son Marudin is smart and studious, I want to send him to the mountains to learn calligraphy and painting from the Taoist for a few days, I don't know if the elder is interested in accepting apprentices?" (Please go to 17k to support the drunkards)

"Send it over tonight, I hope he can stand the hardships in the mountains!" The chief of the stacked mountain road replied in a low voice.

"It's nothing to be hard, follow an elegant person like the Taoist chief, be open-minded, and act freely. Unlike me, when I was a child, I was hungry and scared, and when I grew up, I still had nightmares? Ahmad shook his head, as if to compliment and as if to explain. After saying a few words without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the house with the butler.

Dieshan knew that he was upset at the moment, and he didn't force him to continue drinking tea, followed behind the two, and sent each other silently. After more than a dozen steps, Kankan was about to go out of the mountain gate, hesitated, and persuaded in a low voice: "Lord Pingzhang, with your intelligence, you can keep three or five hundred yuan, and you can earn tens of thousands of net worth in a few years." These things, you can't drink when you're thirsty, you can't eat when you're hungry, and they're so much that they're just numbers......"

"You don't understand, you don't understand. If you don't have an official position, how can you make money. If you don't have money, how can you be promoted to an official position......"

"Not necessarily, being an official has the duty of being an official, and there are rules for doing business. If the rules are set, the official is the official, and the business is the business. It shouldn't be mixed together at all......" Stacked Mountain Dao Chang retorted casually, and in the middle of speaking, he suddenly felt that he had too many mouths, and swallowed the second half of the words into his stomach.

"Really?" Ahmad retracted his half-way leg, looked at Stacked Mountain, and asked. Then, as if he had noticed something very interesting, he laughed and said, "You don't understand, you really don't understand." Where is there such a clean place, I set my own rules, I don't understand how powerful it is, haha, haha......." He laughed, laughed, and before he knew it, tears had flowed out.

"Your Excellency!" When several guards saw that Ahma had left the mountain gate so quickly, they hurriedly led his mount. Ahma jumped on the horse's back with the butler's support, shook the reins and trotted a few steps, then turned back and asked, "If there is really a place where you can make money if you are not an official, does the Taoist know where that place is?" (Please go to 17k to support the drunkards)

"This...."A chill rushed to Dieshan's head, nailing his footsteps to the threshold.

"That place, hehe, is there really? If you have, please send Marudin to go, 10,000 taels of silver, 5,000 for you, 5,000 is the capital of his start! Ahmad laughed, whipped his mount hard, and sped away.

Xie Fang, the Taoist priest of Stacked Mountain, looked at Ahma's distant back for a moment, and slowly walked back to the courtyard. Shi Yun, Xuzhu, Dai Yan and several other little Taoist priests looked at each other, and they didn't know what Ahma's question before leaving. Did you find any clues in the daily behavior of the people, so that you suspected that it was on the side of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?

"Ahmad was a greedy and despicable man, but he was a qualified businessman. If you accept money from others, you will definitely do things for others and will never shirk it. Even their door bags are clearly asking for the price, and the children are not bullied! The Taoist priest sighed and commented.

"Master, do you think he doubts our .......?" Little Taoist Shi Yun asked in a low voice.

"He may have been suspicious for a long time, or he may have started to doubt it today. In any case, it doesn't matter anymore. A few of you pack up, release the carrier pigeons, and tell the south that most of them have moved, and the time has come for a counterattack. Then leave quickly, go to the Zhending Mansion Cangyun Temple to meet, and wait for the next instructions! Dieshan shook his head and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes!" Several Taoist priests agreed, and went separately to prepare. Shi Yun had been with Xie Fang for the longest time, and he was not worried about his safety, so he stopped and asked, "Master, aren't you going with us?" ”。

"I picked up Ahma's grandson tonight and took the little one with me. This is my last business with him, and I can't be untrustworthy! The chief of the mountain replied with a smile.

As a meticulous work of the enemy nation, he wants to rescue the eldest grandson of Ahma. As a person who hates corrupt officials and hates it to the bone marrow, he has been friends with the world's first greedy for several years. Fate is sometimes so incredible, and the last thing you want to face may be something you can't get rid of in your life.

A wave of pigeon whistles sounded in the sky, and several large flocks of white doves flapped their wings and flew south.

On the mountain road, Ahoma on horseback raised his head, looked at the hundreds of carrier pigeons on his head, and looked at the direction in which the carrier pigeons were flying. Shaking his head, he nodded again, thoughtfully.
