Chapter 198: The Loss of the Great Traitor

Uncultured... It's terrifying.

If Kublai Khan had been literate and familiar with the allusions of the Han family, he would not have directly said the dream of seeing the plum tree blooming in front of thousands of courtiers.

Because, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, also dreamed that the plum tree was blooming. As a result, the Sui Dynasty was replaced by Li Tang.

The Mongolian nobles and high-ranking officials present naturally did not know this allusion. However, many Han ministers, and even some Korean envoys and Vietnamese envoys, knew this allusion.

Not to mention the civil officials of Hanchen, even Goryeo Vice Minister Li Qian and Vietnamese Minister Li Hongqi are also nervous. They are all surnamed Li!

Because Li Luo had a ghost in his heart, when he heard Kublai Khan's dream, his heart suddenly pounded. I couldn't help but think, "Does it have anything to do with me?" Zhang Zhenren, you have to be careful to reply. ”

Although Prince Zhenjin likes Sinology, he is a Mongolian nobleman after all, and although he is stronger than Kublai Khan in Sinology, he does not know this allusion.

Zhang Sanfeng was named by the emperor to interpret the dream, so he had to stand up hard, salute and say: "Congratulations to the saint, the plum tree is blooming, it is a great auspiciousness!" ”

Of course, he can only say good things, otherwise how can he say it? Say the allusion of Emperor Yang of Sui?

When Kublai Khan heard that it was an auspicious omen, his face finally looked a lot better, and he asked, "Oh? That real person said carefully, I dreamed of plum trees blooming, why is it auspicious? ”

Zhang Sanfeng was the one he appointed the champion back then, and now he has cured the queen's back gangrene, so he trusts Zhang Sanfeng's talent.

Our Zhang Zhenren was also clever, and immediately had a rhetoric, "Enlightening the Holy Lord, why did the Holy Lord dream of the plum tree blooming during the longevity celebration?" This is a sign of the saint's longevity! Plum flowers, white flowers, hundred flowers, white flowers full of trees, means that the Holy Lord has a long life of a hundred years. ”

"Besides, Mongolia is still white, and white is respected. The white flowers are full of trees, which also indicates the prosperity of the Great Yuan. ”

Zhang Sanfeng's far-fetched nonsense turned out to be round and decent, at least Kublai Khan and the real golden prince believed it.

Kublai Khan's "dragon face joy" is not that he really believes that he can live to be a hundred years old, but that he feels that Zhang Sanfeng interprets dreams like this, which makes him look good on his face and satisfies the emperor's vanity.

Anyone who knows this allusion, no one is a fool, how could he come forward and tell Kublai Khan? Isn't that uncomfortable?

What good could that do but make the emperor unhappy? Maybe the emperor will cut himself when he is not happy.

Therefore, everyone echoed Zhang Sanfeng's words, and stood up to congratulate Kublai Khan on the occasion, saying that the emperor "lived a long life and lived a hundred years".

The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were not like the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, who were shouted "long live, long live, long live", and they didn't eat this set.

As soon as the emperor was happy, the birthday banquet continued.

At this point, it is obvious that the strict ethnic hierarchy will be noticed.

The closest to Kublai Khan, the people surrounding the "Great Yuan Son of Heaven" were all Mongols. In addition to the crown prince, the prince, the princess, the king of the sect and the Mongolian nobles.

Secondly, it is Ahmad and other colors to return to the powerful.

Finally, there are the Han bureaucrats. Even the Han people with high official positions are not as close to Kublai Khan as the Semu people.

Li Luo quickly figured out who the three big traitors were Zhang Hongfan, Yan Zhongji, and Wang Liangchen.

Zhang Hongfan is a burly middle-aged man, but he has a sick face. Li Luo knew that Zhang Hongfan was dying. He remembered that this big traitor should have died earlier than Wen Tianxiang.

Looking at his sick appearance, it is estimated that it will be difficult to live until next year.

This is a man who once carved "Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty, destroyed the Song Dynasty here" on Yashan.

The man who once wrote the poem "Our army's millions of robes are red, full of the blood of the sons and daughters of Jiangnan".

The man who once personally captured Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

It was a man who was given the title of "Batu" (warrior) by Kublai Khan......

He, Zhang Hongfan, is a loyal minister of Dayuan!

But he ...... Why not Kaisen?

Li Luo observed Wang Liangchen again.

Wang Liangchen was about fifty years old, and his face was also full of illness and worry. Li Luo remembered that Wang Liangchen helped the Yuan Dynasty pacify Sichuan not long ago and was out of the limelight.

However, he still couldn't stop Kublai Khan's decision to abolish the privileges of the world, so Wang Da traitor was very unopen, and it was estimated that he was about to die.

Another big traitor is Yan Zhongji.

Although Yan Zhongji's complexion is much better, he is also not very open.

Since Shi Tianze, Dong Wenbing and others died of illness a few years ago, the only remaining representatives of the six worlds are Zhang Hongfan, Yan Zhongji, and Wang Liangchen.

At that time, there were hundreds of Han warlords who destroyed the Jin and Song dynasties for the Mongol Empire, among which the six with the strongest military power, including Shi, Zhang, Liu, Li, and Wang, were known as the six great candidates.

The Han army not only made great contributions to the Mongol Empire's conquest of the Central Plains, but also a great help for Kublai Khan to compete with Ali Buge for the throne.

It can be said that without the die-hard loyalty of the Han warlords led by the six great generations, there would be no Kublai Khan's throne.

For this reason, in order to reward the merits, Kublai Khan gave the princes fiefdoms, enjoyed various privileges in the fiefs, and became veritable feudal lords, and their fiefs became semi-independent kingdoms.

Li Luo's gaze at Zhang Hongfan and the others was very flat, and no one knew the killing intent under this bland gaze.

He really hopes that these big traitors can live a little longer, especially Zhang Hongfan, it's best not to hang up so soon.

Over the years, the world's servants have fought for the tigers, slaughtered the tribesmen for the Tartars, and relied on the blood of the Han people to make "great achievements" and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

But in the end, they still have to face the master's rebellion, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

No, Kublai Khan not only took advantage of the rebellion in various places to recruit the troops of the Shihou to weaken their military strength, but also took the opportunity to deprive all the Shihou of their privileges and take back their fiefdoms under the pretext of Li Pu's rebellion.

This is tantamount to abolishing the status of feudal lords of the hereditary princes, and only retaining their official positions. But compared to the fiefdom that can inherit the descendants, the high-ranking officials are obviously nothing.

These commanders of the Han army, who once held heavy troops and were dominant for a while, destroyed the Song Dynasty less than two years ago, and they became yesterday's yellow flowers.

They seem to have forgotten that no matter how pure their loyalty to Dayuan is and how great their military exploits are, they will never be able to change the identity of the Han people. How can the Mongol masters really trust them?

The huge psychological gap made Zhang Hongfan and other generations full of resentment towards their masters, so they "died young" one by one and "withered like flowers".

At this time, Zhang Hongfan suddenly coughed again and again, and was choked by the wine. On the one hand, this is because he is now seriously ill and has difficulty breathing, and on the other hand, he also wants to attract the attention of his master Kublai Khan by coughing.

The cough was very loud, and the person who coughed was the famous "Nine Pulls" Zhang Hongfan, so it immediately attracted the attention of other ministers.

However, Kublai Khan was gossiping with a group of sect kings, and he didn't pay attention to the movement of Zhang Hongfan and the others in their seats.

Zhang Hongfan looked at the master who was seven or eight feet away from him, and felt that there were thousands of mountains and rivers in the middle, as far away as the end of the world. Thinking that the master didn't look at himself with his eyes at all tonight, he couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart. Your Majesty, why don't you look at me? Why don't you look at your "Nine Pulls"?

Your Majesty, didn't you say back then that you want the world's descendants to be rich and prosperous with Dayuan, and to be vassals and feudal land forever? How long has it been, and why has Your Majesty forgotten it?

When Zhang Hongfan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad. Starting from his father Zhang Rou, the Zhang family served Meng Yuan, destroyed Jin, destroyed the Song Dynasty, conquered Ali Buge, dealt with Haidu and other kings, and made countless contributions, which made countless contributions.

But now, is it all empty?

Zhang Hongfan didn't know that there was a person named Wu Sangui in later generations, who not only sealed the territory, but also made the king, but what was the result? Hasn't Kangxi been withdrawn yet?

Of course, Wu Sangui rebelled because of the withdrawal of the feudal domain. And Zhang Hongfan and others, even if they were taken back their fiefdoms, finally swallowed their anger and became loyal ministers of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Hongfan coughed more and more, his face turned red, and finally attracted the attention of Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan saw that it was Zhang Hongfan who coughed violently, and his heart was slightly unhappy, but he still opened his mouth and asked gently: "Jiubadu, you are sick now, you should recuperate in the mansion!" ”

Zhang Hongfan's heart warmed, his nose was sour in an instant, and he almost shed tears, he quickly stood up with difficulty: "Over the years, the minister has known that his fate will not be long, and if he does not come this time, he is afraid that he will not see His Majesty in the future." ”

His words are full of fist lovers, and there is nothing wrong with them. But when Kublai Khan heard it, he felt very harsh.

Today is my birthday, but you say that your life is short, it's really frustrating.

Don't look at him, he still affectionately calls Zhang Hongfan "Jiubadu", but in his eyes, Zhang Hongfan is no longer the "Jiubadu".

Since the rebellion of Li Pu and the imminent rebellion of more than one family, Kublai Khan could no longer trust the commander of the Han army.

Moreover, Kublai Khan became more conservative and trusted the Mongols and Semu as he got older, and the Han Chinese ...... There's not much use anymore.

"Come on, send Jiubadu back to rest, and then send the imperial doctor for treatment." Kublai Khan ordered, "Jiubathu, you are not yet forty, right?" It's better not to be too sad. ”

Zhang Hongfan's heart that had just risen was full of emotion, and suddenly turned into a cold.

He was torn to find that he had really fallen out of favor.

What will happen to the Zhang family in the future? What will happen to the children and grandchildren? Zhang Hongfan was suddenly extremely confused.

What if Da Song is still around?

This thought startled Zhang Hongfan. Ridiculous, ridiculous!

Li Luo, who was not far away, saw Zhang Hongfan's somewhat lost look, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
