Without a Trace Volume 8 Xinjun Chapter 11 The Great Khan
、、、、、、、
"After all, it is the overlord of Moxi Mongolia, the Great Khan of Dzungaria, and the words of Ketu Ce Ling are really blood-bloody." As everyone looked at each other, an unhurried voice came from behind them. Lai Shan was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" The princes also hurriedly turned around to greet the salute, but there was a thought in their hearts, not knowing how this arrogant guest Tu Ce Ling would behave.
To everyone's surprise, Ketu Celing also respectfully touched his chest with his right hand and bowed. "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is my honor to meet you, and may you spread your wings and fly like an eagle on the grassland." He bowed his head and congratulated, but everyone knew that this statement was insincere. Dzungar had only lost his troops under Prince An's Feng Wufang last time, and this participation in the alliance was just the result of pressure from many parties, so how could he easily show goodwill to the imperial court?
"It is a great blessing for the prince to be able to come to participate in this alliance. Lone is still young, at most, the eagle has just spread its wings, how can it be compared to the prince who has already become famous in the desert and galloped in the desert? Feng Wuxian took a few steps forward, and helped Ke Tuce Ling up with both hands, which was quite meaningful, "Lone has already heard of the prestige of the prince, and today I saw it really extraordinary, no wonder even among the herdsmen of the southern Mongolian tribes of the desert still legend the prince's eloquence!" He kept calling Ketu Ce Ling the prince, which was tantamount to reminding everyone that Taizu had the title of Dzungar Khan back then, and among the princes at this time, the majority supported the imperial court, so he was not worried about Ketu Ce Zero's radical moves.
Lai Shan and the other princes of the Mongol tribes in southern Mo were thinking about the deep meaning of the last few words of Feng Wuxi, even if the Dzungars dominated Moxi, but the power of Ke Tuce Zero Land was growing day by day. It is inevitable that most of them will be threatened. From this point of view, this meeting must give the Dzungars a dismount.
Ke Tu Ce Ling smiled slightly, and just raised his head straight. His eyes shone brightly and stared at the wind without a trace. Of course, he could understand those words, whether they were arrogant or humble.
Or maybe he is cautious in his bones, everything is just his appearance, only he knows what kind of contradictory soul is in this body, and it is precisely because of this. He, the Dzungar Ke Tuce Zero Khan, can boast of the steppe and regard tens of thousands of troops as nothing.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's praise really makes me ashamed, Dzungar is just the poorest place in the land of the Celestial Empire, where is it worthy of your attention?" He seemed to laugh at himself, and then he looked around at the surrounding kings and said, "Only the fertile Mongol tribes in southern China are the pillars of the imperial court. Although I admired the Central Plains, I never had the opportunity to see the glory of the Celestial Empire. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this alliance, you must ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for advice. ”
It was a blatant deception and a lie, and Lai Shan glanced at each other with the two princes of Sotu and Sakbu. Each other's feelings are surprisingly consistent. Listening to what Tu Ce Ling said just now, if you don't know, it is difficult to even think that this person led hundreds of thousands of cavalry south to take revenge, and even coerced many small tribes. But. Lai Shan still had a strange feeling in his heart, as if the man in front of him had another plan to make waves.
Seeing that everyone was still standing, he couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to greet him: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, princes, if you have been standing here, I am afraid that the guest who came from afar will blame Xiao Wang, the host, for not knowing how to be hospitable." Xiao Wang has already ordered someone to prepare a place, why don't you go there and talk in detail? ”
Only then did everyone follow Lai Shan in groups towards the arranged venue, while Ketu Ce Zero deliberately stayed at the end, walking side by side with his henchman Tegu. Feng Wuxian just glanced at it, and then thoughtfully walked with Xiao Yunchao and them, discussing some details with Yu Rongqi without a match.
"Tegu, you've been in contact with all these people, do you have any feelings?" Ke Tu Ce Ling slowly paced, and said leisurely, "You killed the enemy of the year with your own hands, Fulda, these people should not give you a good look." After all, the Lunsu Department was once prosperous, and now it has become a vassal of my Dzungaria, and these conceited Monan Mongol princes may have already jumped into a rage! ”
Tegu showed a nonchalant smile, and said with a big grin: "Prince Lai Shan just casually led me to meet a few irrelevant people, and I didn't see any real big people." However, Lord Wang, that Lingyun's crown prince doesn't seem to be that kind of ordinary goods, those words just now are really beautiful, after all, he is a person from the Central Plains Capital. "It's a pity, if you were born in that kind of place, maybe the whole world would be yours." ”
Ketu Ce Zero knew the unabashed nature of this subordinate, so he just laughed at it. Despite his rich background, Tegu was extremely unique in his use of soldiers, so he always let it go, and never even blamed him for the raid that lost his troops. When it comes to employing people, Ketuce is definitely higher than the Mongolian princes. "If you still talk like this later, I'm afraid those Central Plains people will definitely not be able to let you go!" He smiled coldly and said, "Although I have only learned a little bit of the skin of those Han people, I still know the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king since ancient times, and that crown prince can stand out from many brothers, so he can't be despised for it." Let's go, if it's too late, maybe others will think we're too arrogant! ”
Although Mongolian men are bold by nature, they are increasingly influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and they are becoming more and more particular about the dignity and inferiority. Lai Shangong is the proprietor, and there is no problem if he sits on the throne, and Feng Wuxian is the crown prince of the current dynasty, and the position of the two important ministers of the court in the Yu Rong period of the Xiao Yun Dynasty has long been agreed, but those princes and nobles of the various departments are a little troublesome. The two princes of the Suotu and Sak tribes occupied the two seats on the left and right, and many of the princes of Monan Mongolia, Taiji, also occupied the seats close to the wind without a trace, but Ke Tuce found a random place to sit down with a smile of interest on his face, watching those people scramble.
Lai Shan had already painstakingly arranged the sitting, who would have thought that it would become such a situation no later than one step later, and his face couldn't help but be annoyed. It was easy to use his power to suppress it, and the few princes who were competing for the most fiercely sat down in a daze. Feng Wuxian watched coldly, but he was thoughtful in his heart, Monan Mongolia has always been the most relied on by the imperial court, but it is not a good thing for these tribes to be monolithic, these tribes are too strong, they will not reach the hinterland of the Central Plains, if they are too weak, they will not be able to deter Moxi Mobei at all, and then have a deterrent effect on Tibet. Divide and dissolve, merge and rule, since ancient times, this scale is the most difficult to grasp. Feng Wuxian had already caught a glimpse of the subtle expression on Ke Tu Celing's face, so his fear of that man deepened.
This deliberation was just a prelude to the alliance, so naturally it could not go smoothly, and the various strange opinions put forward by the princes of the various ministries alone opened Feng Wuji's eyes. However, Ketuce Zero always acted like a bystander, and at most he only said a few words of nonsense without pain, which was very different from his initial arrogance and shrewdness.
The alliance advocated by the imperial court this time was far different from the previous form of script-based propaganda, and the most important core was to detain the ministries. As for the Dzungar Ministry, it is to ensure that they do not raise troops again within a few years, so the responsibility of Feng Wuxian is not insignificant. After the initial meeting without any achievements, Wind Without a Trace sent someone to send an invitation to Ketu Cezero, and even Tegu was among the invitees.
"In the territory of the Kurten Ministry, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really ......"
Tegu was playing with the post in Ketu Tsezero's tent, but his face was full of strange smiles, "Great Khan, do you think we will step into his tent, and then hundreds of axe men will jump out of it?" His gaze suddenly became a little narrower, "You must know that many Zhongke in the Central Plains are written like this." ”
Although he knew that his subordinates were joking, Ketu Celing still glared at Tegu fiercely, and then frowned and continued to think. There is no good banquet, there will be no good meeting, and now a bad one will provoke conflict, which he knows very well. Although he had already sent someone to secretly negotiate with Lai Shan's youngest son, Bhutto, to help him seize the throne of the prince, he was not optimistic about the deal at all. He had just met with Lai Shan's eldest son and youngest son before, and he had already seen the difference between the two, and even Feng Wuxi's mind was also aware of one or two, this big thing was by no means easy to accomplish. However, if he can really secretly control the affairs of the Kurten Ministry, how much good it can be for his own clan, this point makes him unable to let go.
"Tegu, if you are still talking nonsense like you are now, you don't have to expect me to save you if you offend people!" Ke Tu Ce Ling had to remind, "I'm used to your temperament, and others may not be able to tolerate it." This meeting is not trivial, maybe the two Han generals who fought with you will also be present, so be careful when you speak. I always feel that there is something wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inviting you by name, and there should be an unspeakable name among them. ”
Tegu put away the smile that had always hung on his face, bowed down and replied, "Don't worry, Great Khan, I won't cause you trouble." No matter how hurtful His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are, they will not hurt me more than the betrayal of the past. A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then a look of such a hippie smile appeared, "But the Great Khan must be careful, maybe the Celestial Empire will stuff a beauty for you." ”
Ke Tuce shook his head helplessly, although he loved this subordinate to the extreme, but for that sharp mouth, he sometimes really hated it. Tonight's meeting was really exciting, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his fists were already clenched. He and his late father have a weak relationship, sending troops to take revenge is just an excuse, testing the reaction of the court is true, he has been fighting hard for ten years, learning Han culture for ten years, and his family background is far thicker than the court imagined. Whether it is war or peace, I'm afraid only God knows. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 8 Xinjun Chapter 11 The Great Khan
