Cheng Yue pretended to be grateful and said to Kublai Khan: "The Great Khan is considerate of his subordinates and takes care of everything. ”

Kublai Khan thought of the large sum of silver he had to pay, and his flesh hurt for a while, but Cheng Yue's things were too good, and he was too sorry for himself not to buy them.

Cheng Yue said: "Great Khan, the minister said in the morning that he would give the Great Khan a song written by the minister especially for the Great Khan, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Kublai Khan laughed from ear to ear, clapped his hands and said, "I thought you had forgotten, where are you going to sing?" I must listen to it. ”

Cheng Yue pointed to the wooden platform and said, "The minister will go there and sing." Among the guards who carried the boxes brought into the palace today by the minister could play the huqin (the horse-head qin had not yet appeared in the Yuan Dynasty), and the minister had already let him practice well, so he let him accompany him to cheer up the Great Khan. ”

Kublai Khan was so pleased that he moved his seat forward and held on to the fence with the queens to look down.

Cheng Yue took a chair and walked up to the wooden platform with the guards of the Huqin, the hustle and bustle around disappeared in an instant, and the people who were chatting hotly just now quieted down without being reminded by others. Cheng Yue is a master of today's music, and he has never sung in front of so many people, maybe there is only one such opportunity, which is worth waiting for.

Cheng Yue lowered his chair and ordered Lahuqin's guards to sit down, while Cheng Yue himself sat cross-legged, just as the Mongols were in a yurt.

The Mongolians are more interested, does Cheng Yue want to sing the songs of the Mongolians?

As soon as Cheng Yue raised his hand, the sound of the huqin behind him sounded melodiously. The tune is completely different from Cheng Yue's previous tune, it is similar to the long tune that Mongolians usually hum, and it is more beautiful, how could Cheng Yue do this!

After the prelude, Cheng Yue sang: "The wild goose goes south."

Fly over the reeds

Where are the geese going?

In my heart is the hometown of the north

Where are the geese going?

In my heart is the hometown of the north

Hongyan North returned

Take my thoughts with you

The singing voice is far away, and the piano trembles

Spring is warm on the grassland

The wild goose to the sky

How far away the sky is

Drink the wine dry and fill it up

If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return

Drink the wine dry and fill it up

If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return."

The melody is distant and desolate, although it is sung in Chinese. But every Mongol present. Regardless of whether you understand Chinese or not, you can understand it. Cheng Yue sang. The Mongols around them wept one by one. When Cheng Yue sang it for the second time, there were already weeping Mongolians and Semu people everywhere.

Cheng Yue sang three times in a row, and the music faded away. Suddenly, the crying and applause broke out at the same time, and the applause lasted for a long time, and many people applauded heartily while wiping their tears. Cheng Yue won three generals in a row, and some people were not convinced, but at this moment, they were all moved to tears by Cheng Yue's song, and they were close to Cheng Yue. He already unconsciously regarded him as half a Mongol, and no one was bothered by the fiasco just now.

Kublai Khan leaned back and let the old tears run wild. Cheng Yue's song sang into his heart and into his bones. When Cheng Yue sang, Kublai Khan was trembling all the time, trembling constantly, crying so much that his body was a little convulsive, but this experience was incomparably wonderful. As the Great Khan, he ruled over hundreds of millions of people and held millions of elite soldiers. It's been years since I've cried like this.

What a song "Hong Yan", a good Cheng Yue!

Chabi and the queens and the two princesses also cried breathlessly. Chabi cried and beat his chest and muttered, "I want to go home, I want to go home!" ”

Cheng Yue and the guards who played the huqin put away the chairs and the huqin and returned to the building. All the Mongol officials and palace people he met along the way saluted him sincerely, and two of them even knelt in front of him and kissed his shoes.

Cheng Yue smiled back, deterred with force, and subdued with music, he did it all today.

When Cheng Yue walked into the Cloud Pavilion again, Kublai Khan had already wiped away his tears, and the other people's cries could barely be stopped, but the traces of crying just now were still clearly visible on his face.

Kublai Khan gave Cheng Yue a thumbs up and said, "Good song!" They all sang and cried! You have to sing such a song to me in the future, I like it! ”

Cheng Yue saw him so frank, and said with a smile: "The minister receives the order, as long as the Great Khan wants to hear it, the minister will sing it to the Great Khan." But you can't often sing the minister, the minister doesn't have such a good voice! ”

Kublai Khan laughed and said, "Cheng Yue, I want to discuss something with you, if you can agree, you might as well agree, just take it as a favor for me." ”

Cheng Yue was stunned and asked, "Why did the Great Khan say this?" What is so difficult? ”

Kublai Khan said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing for you, sooner or later you will be my concubine, and if you become my concubine, of course, you will have an official position in the court." I want you to be the Zhongshu Zuocheng, and the current Zhongshu Zuocheng Hao Zhen will be transferred to the right Cheng to assist the prince together. You don't need to go to the ya, you can run errands at home. You are a second-rank military attache and an auxiliary general in the Southern Song Dynasty, and I asked you to be a civil official from the first-rank Zhongshu Zuocheng, how about it? There aren't many things in the book, and I know that you can't be idle, so what do you want to do, just say, you can find me, and you can find the prince. You have to avoid suspicion about matters related to the Southern Song Dynasty, and you can plan other things at your disposal. In this way, if you want to take care of some things that you can't see, you can justify it, and when I send out troops, I also have a title up and down, so I can't always call you the official position of the Southern Song Dynasty, right? Do you understand what I mean? ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "It turns out that the Great Khan wants the minister to work for the Great Yuan, and the minister is a concubine, so it is incumbent on him." Prime Minister An Tong worshiped the prime minister at the age of eighteen, and the minister couldn't let him be beautiful. ”

Kublai Khan couldn't help but say overjoyed: "Then what do you mean-"

Cheng Yue stood respectfully and saluted: "Cheng Yue, the secretary of the minister, pays a visit to the Great Khan." ”

Kublai Khan laughed, and immediately helped Cheng Yue and said: "I have you as the Zhongshu Zuocheng, I am happier than getting a prime minister, haha......." Alas, it's a pity, if you can stay forever, I will directly let you be the prime minister! A Chinese book Zuo Cheng still can't stand you. ”

Cheng Yue smiled and shook Kublai Khan's hand to express his gratitude.

The kings outside the Cloud Pavilion entered the pavilion one after another to congratulate Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yue also greeted them again. When he greeted Zhenjin, there was a trace of reluctance in Zhenjin's eyes, Cheng Yue understood that he couldn't forget about Lilac, and he really felt some sympathy for him in his heart.

Ahamapi stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand: "The governor of Dadu has not yet become a concubine, and he directly serves as a high-ranking official like Zhongshu Zuocheng, which has never had a precedent in my Great Yuan Dynasty." The prime minister is now in charge of Shangshu Province, and he will ask the governor of the capital to mention more in the future. Ahma deliberately did not say the official name of Zhongshu Zuocheng, which was to remind Cheng Yue that he was an official of the Southern Song Dynasty after all, and the so-called Zhongshu Zuocheng was only a temporary official position, and it should not be taken seriously.

Cheng Yue expected that Ahma was afraid that he would share his power, and he would definitely try to trap himself. So he smiled and said: "Pingzhang's Shangshu Province is the source of all Dayuan's decrees, and Zhongshu is just a Qingshui Yamen, so I should ask Pingzhang to take care of it." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and each other had other thoughts.

Nang Jiazhen came over last, blushing and said, "You became the Zhongshu Zuocheng, can you be considered promoted?" Do you want to have a treat? ”

Cheng Yue said with a bitter face: "My Royal Highness the princess, how can this be called a promotion?" Originally, I sat in the first position of Wuchen, and I didn't care about it, and I was ranked more than a dozen Wenchen at once, which was obviously a demotion to an official. When do you want to invite me to dinner and comfort me? ”

Kublai Khan and his ministers couldn't help laughing, and they felt that Cheng Yue was more amiable. Nangka's face turned even redder, and he said seriously: "Then when are you free?" I invite you. ”

As soon as Nang Jiazhen said this, not to mention Kublai Khan and his ministers, even Cheng Yue was taken aback, even if the Mongolian people are open, is it a bit exaggerated to date so blatantly?

Wan Ze was secretly anxious. Nang Jiazhen's meaning is very clear, she asked Cheng Yue in front of so many people, and it is impossible for Cheng Yue not to agree. After Cheng Yue agreed, she could openly go out with Cheng Yue, so that Cheng Yue would not be able to marry her. In order to marry Cheng Yue, Nang Jia really fought hard! So what are you going to do? What to do?

Wan Ze knew that the opportunity was fleeting, as long as Cheng Yue spoke, it would be too late for him to do anything, so he was in a hurry, and immediately interjected: "Zuo Cheng has just arrived in Dadu, and he must be busy these days, why don't you finish these few days, and our sisters will be the east, how about inviting Zuo Cheng to hunt in the hunting grounds outside the city?" Nang Jiazhen's riding and archery skills are first-class, and you can just ask Zuo Cheng for advice. ”

Cheng Yue listened to Ze say these words and was greatly impressed. Wan Ze first understood his busyness in the past few days and postponed the date of dating. and then add yourself to the candidate for the east, and don't let Nangjiazhen monopolize it alone. The final place chosen is also very particular, so that Nang Jia can really show his riding skills and archery, but Cheng Yue may not like it. Wan Ze can take the opportunity to take care of Cheng Yue and comply in every way. Don't men, especially those of the Han family, like virtuous women? Cheng Yue's wife wants to govern the family, how can she only fight and kill? This stealing peaches for plums is used exquisitely, and it is quite the essence of the art of war.

Of course, Nang Jiazhen is not a fool, and he also heard Wan Ze's over-the-top voice, and said hurriedly: "Then I will make it for you to eat with my own hands after I hit the prey, can I comfort you?" ”

Kublai Khan and his ministers couldn't help but sigh when they saw that the two princesses were fighting for Cheng Yue and killing each other with bloodless swords and swords, and they were stabbed to the bone, which was more fierce than the competition during the day, and they couldn't help but sigh. It is cruel for men to attack the city and seize the land, but the tragedy of the women snatching love and robbing the princess is not necessarily lost, and even exceeded.

Kublai Khan frowned, thought of an idea, and said, "In this way, you don't have to fight." I may send troops north at any time, and in a few days you will all go hunting with me to the hunting grounds, and by the way, you can also train your troops. Cheng Yue, are your soldiers and horses going? ”

Cheng Yue said: "Of course I want to go." The minister's soldiers and horses also often trained everywhere, and after training with the Great Khan's soldiers and horses, the ministers would have more confidence when they sent troops. ”

Kublai Khan smiled and said: "Okay, a word is a certainty, three days later, I will lead 30,000 people to hunt, and you will lead 5,000 people to come together, let me see your methods." ”

Cheng Yue smiled slightly, glanced at the two princesses, and said, "Are the two princesses going?" (To be continued......)
