Chapter 310: Meeting Kublai Khan
Cheng Yue followed Chai Chun to the steps of the Daming Hall and stepped into the Dadu Palace. When I looked up, a Mongolian man in his sixties with a mighty figure was standing on top of it, and next to him sat a Mongolian woman in her fifties, of course, Kublai Khan and Chabi.
Kublai Khan looked very similar to the portrait in the history books, quite burly, a little fat, amazingly imposing, not angry and arrogant, and his eyes were looking at him with bright eyes.
There were many Mongolian nobles and dignitaries on both sides, all dressed in splendid clothes, but their tastes did not dare to compliment, and they looked at him with different eyes, which was very complicated. Cheng Yue glanced over and saw more than a dozen kings dressed differently from the courtiers sitting on both sides of the main hall, among which was Ai Buhua, who met the day before yesterday.
Among the Wenchen columns, there is a middle-aged Mongolian with a calm demeanor, who looks quite similar to Kublai Khan, and should be the crown prince Zhenjin.
Cheng Yue and Zhenjin's eyes touched, and they were slightly embarrassed, so they had to turn their heads away.
Cheng Yue knows more acquaintances among the ministers, Boyan, Ah Shu and others are all old acquaintances, and An Tong, who he met yesterday, is also inside. And at the very front of them, there was a deep-eyed man with a hook, who was looking at him with an unfathomable smile, and it must be Ahma.
Although Cheng Yue is only the governor of the capital and the military attache of the second rank on the surface, he is the actual ruler of the Southern Song Dynasty and the righteous son of the empress dowager.
Chai Chun knelt in front of the emperor and said loudly: "Qi Yu Great Khan, the Great Song Dynasty Auxiliary General, the Governor of Water and Land, and Cheng Yue, a scholar of Duanming Palace, came to the court by order. ”
Kublai Khan smiled slightly, Cheng Yue reluctantly knelt in front of Kublai Khan, and saluted: "Minister Cheng Yue." Ordered to come to the court. See also Great Khan. See the Great Queen. ”
When Kublai Khan saw Cheng Yue kneeling down to him, his heart was extremely happy, and he laughed and said, "Good! I've been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, and now that I'm finally seeing you, I'm so happy! You have worked hard from afar, give me a seat! ”
The ministers were all shocked. Cheng Yue is not a colt now, even if he becomes a colt, he can't sit down in front of the Great Khan if he is not crowned king. The Great Khan's move. Obviously, he looked at Cheng Yue differently and deliberately wooed him.
The chamberlain immediately brought a chair covered with tiger skin, the same as the Mongol kings present. Cheng Yue didn't say a word, he sat down very calmly, and stood beside him with his drooping hands.
Kublai Khan looked at Tokhtar and said, "Who are you?" looks like a Mongolian, is it the Mongolian commander under Cheng Yue called Toto? ”
Tokhtar was not flustered, stood up and saluted: "The Great Khan is wise, the last general is Tokhtar, and now the Metropolitan Governor is the commander of the army." ”
Kublai Khan looked Tokhtar up and down for a few moments. Stretched out his thumb and praised: "What a man!" What a good boy in Mongolia! It's a pity I haven't heard of you before, I'm sorry! ”
Take off your eyes and get hot. I almost burst into tears. Immediately woke up again, no matter whether Kublai Khan was sincere or not, this was an attempt to separate himself and Cheng Yue, and wanted to make himself grateful to him, what a powerful means!
The corners of Cheng Yue's eyes jumped, and he was vigilant. Kublai Khan has ruled the world for so many years, and he really has the courage of a hero, so you must be careful.
Totoh took a deep breath and said, "The Great Khan is serious, and he is ashamed. He bowed deeply, returned to Cheng Yue's side and stood up, and his face returned to calm.
Kublai Khan's heart sank and he regretted it even more. There are such figures in the Mongolian army, why didn't they find out earlier? He used to be a hundred households, and the thousand households above him were blind? Damn it! Alas, forget it, maybe he has died under Cheng Yue's gun in Dusong Pass.
Kublai Khan smiled at Cheng Yue and said: "I have heard of your brave name for a long time, invincible, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, you hold the imperial program in your hand, and work hard to govern the country. This time, don't be in a hurry to go, but accompany me everywhere, and I often ask you for advice. ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The minister is just a fluke, and he won a few small games, what is the way?" The minister has heard the great Khan for a long time, Ze is born, Wenzhi martial arts, chasing Taizu, the minister has long wanted to bow down at the bottom of the steps, but today, in order to get what he wants, the minister is grateful, and may he always Mu Sheng's grace. ”
Kublai Khan laughed and said, "I heard that you have always disliked filming other people's ass, why are you so skillful in filming?" ”
Chabi couldn't help but laugh on the sidelines.
The term sycophant originated from the fact that when Mongolians visited someone's house, they had to praise the master's horse's habitual movements, whether it was good or not, which was not done before.
Cheng Yue said seriously: "Every sentence of the minister is from the bottom of his heart, where is there half an exaggeration?" Don't misunderstand the Great Khan, ministers. ”
Kublai Khan smiled: "Okay, okay, I don't misunderstand you, just say the truth when you say it, but these words are too sensual, I feel uncomfortable to hear, don't say it again in the future, is this okay?" ”
Cheng Yue also smiled: "The Great Khan praised the ministers to the point of cold sweat, and the ministers had to praise the Great Khan as having nothing in the sky and unparalleled on the earth, so that they could sleep peacefully at night." ”
The whole hall laughed. A few princes who didn't laugh also laughed after listening to the translation of the people around them.
During the reign of Kublai Khan, because of the heavy use of many Han Chinese, most of the Mongolian ministers in the court could understand some Chinese, and they could understand the worst. Cheng Yue's words complimenting Kublai Khan in front were a little difficult, they didn't understand it very well, but the next few words were plain and interesting, except for the kings who had been outside the Saiwai for many years, they all understood it, so they were all amused by Cheng Yue and laughed.
Chabi was comforted. She has always been worried that Cheng Yue is a difficult person to get along with, and now it seems that she is obviously too worried.
Kublai Khan smiled: "Okay, let's not say those words." But you've come all the way here, so you don't have any gifts for me? ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said: "Of course there are, and they are all rare things, and the minister guarantees that the Great Khan will like it." After speaking, he slapped three palms outside the hall, and several guards walked into the hall carrying a large box, put it in front of Cheng Yue and retreated.
Kublai Khan saw that several of the guards behaved calmly and acted in a uniform manner, and none of them looked around, and after putting down their things, they bowed and withdrew, neither humble nor arrogant. Although he was smiling on his face, he was deeply shocked in his heart. Cheng Yue only brought such a few people, but all of them were outstanding, which shows that they are usually well-trained, and they are forbidden. Cheng Yue's military strength is really terrifying.
Cheng Yue took out a key from his pocket and opened the box. First took out a bag of tea, and offered it with both hands: "This tea is newly made by the minister, and it has only been eaten by the queen mother before, and the queen mother is full of praise, and the minister does not allow others to taste it again, and sends it to the Great Khan to taste, please taste it." ”
Kublai Khan became interested and ordered someone to bring a bowl of tea. Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Yue took out a large box, which contained tools for glasses.
Without waiting for Cheng Yue to explain, Kublai Khan shouted: "Is this the glasses you just made?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Yes, and the minister has improved it, and the scene can be equipped with a pair for the Great Khan, so that the Great Khan can wear it immediately." ”
Kublai Khan was overjoyed. He was sixty-one years old, his eyes were much worse than they had been when he was younger, and his vision of what was near him was getting blurrier and more blurred. When he saw Cheng Yue made glasses from the secret music, he wanted a pair very much, but this thing needed someone to match it on the spot, and he couldn't go to the Southern Song Dynasty. It's good now, Cheng Yue actually sent his glasses to him, and he was so excited that he immediately said to Cheng Yue: "Come on, come on, quickly match a pair for me, this is my good donkey!" ”
Cheng Yue smiled, held up the eye chart, and ran to the throne to measure the degree for Kublai Khan.
Cheng Yue and Kublai Khan were so close that as long as Cheng Yue was willing, he could kill Kublai Khan with one blow, but Kublai Khan was not afraid at all. Cheng Yue measured the power and glasses frame data for Kublai Khan without distraction, picked up the tools, and selected a pair of frames on the spot to process them.
The whole hall waited with bated breath, after all, everyone had only heard of glasses, and no one had ever seen them, let alone know how miraculous they were. Just two thin pieces of glass, can people see clearly? It's not a lie, is it?
When Cheng Yue was working, the tea had already been brewed and delivered to Kublai Khan and Chabi.
The waiter who made the tea whispered in Kublai Khan's ear, assuring that the tea had been tested and was indeed non-toxic.
Kublai Khan waved him away, tested the temperature, and took a sip of the tea bowl.
After drinking it in one sip, Kublai Khan was immediately pleasantly surprised, the taste of this tea was really excellent! No wonder the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty is full of praise, he likes it too!
Turning his head to look at Chabi, he saw her brow stretched and smiling, needless to say, she must be the same as herself.
Kublai Khan gave Chabi a thumbs up, and Chabi replied to him. The two looked at each other and smiled, the hand holding the tea bowl never let go, and the waiter next to him kept pouring tea.
Cheng Yue was concentrating on his work, but he didn't know that on the left side of the main hall, there were two pairs of black and shining eyes that had been watching him. One is Nang Kazhen he met the day before yesterday, and the other is Wan Ze, whom he has never met.
Nang Jiazhen went out of the city the day before yesterday to relax, and he didn't want to really meet Cheng Yue. When I came back, I was so happy that I sang for a while, and then I was in a daze.
Wan Ze was about to go to Dadu to discuss with Nang Jiazhen because Cheng Yue was about to enter the capital, and when he saw that she was behaving abnormally, he opened his mouth to ask.
Nang Jia really knew that he couldn't hide it from Wan Ze, so he told him before and after he met Cheng Yue.
After listening to this, Wan Ze became more and more excited about Cheng Yue, and envied the good luck of Nang Jia Zhen even more, worried that Cheng Yue would meet Nang Jia Zhen first, maybe he would be passive, and he was more curious about what kind of person Cheng Yue was. So he took advantage of the court, pulled up the bag and Jiazhen, and quietly peeked at Cheng Yue from the left side.
It's okay not to watch it, but the more you look at it, the more you love it. Cheng Yue is not like others, he will be scared when he sees Kublai Khan, but he dares to joke with Kublai Khan, and even you come and go, and you don't fall behind.
When the two girls were pregnant with spring, where did they have the ability to resist a teenager like Cheng Yue, and they were captured by Cheng Yue at once. Now that I see Cheng Yue's concentrated appearance, he is more devoted, and the competition between them is stronger, it depends on who Cheng Yue will choose in the end. (To be continued......)
