Chapter 55: Negotiation

Zhang Hongfan said: "Cheng Gongzi, after the two armies quit, I can introduce Prime Minister Boyan for Gongzi, everyone doesn't use swords, sit and talk, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

Cheng Yue applauded: "Well said. I was about to have a banquet for a few prime ministers in Xiangyang, and when I heard that the scenery there was excellent, I couldn't help but yearn for it. ”

What the? Xiangyang? Zhang Hongfan and Meng Qi were so angry that they almost scolded. Xindao is too shameless, right? At once, we have to take back all the achievements of the Yuan soldiers in the past few years, do you think we are easy to bully? If you give it a go, you only have these centaurs, can you afford it?

Zhang Hongfan knew that he could not show weakness, and said with a smile: "Xiangyang is much worse than Guangzhou, I heard that there is a good place to raise horses in all seasons like spring, abundant water and grass, why don't you set it there?" ”

Zhang Hongfan's meaning is very clear, I have a hard time fighting with you Cheng Yue, but the progress on the other side is quite smooth, don't mess with us.

Cheng Yue expected him to say this, and laughed: "The south is rainy and humid, where will it be a place to raise horses?" I've heard that your Baishuiluo in Shangdu is a place that people will not want to return, and Kublai Khan will stay for a long time every time he goes there, so why don't I pay a visit, maybe I will make friends and give me most of it as a food. ”

Zhang Hongfan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw that he was so thick-skinned, and said: "Baishuiluo is a good place for hunting, if the prince wants to go, our Great Khan will definitely welcome it." But Childe's meeting gift should be prepared. ”

Cheng Yue also smiled: "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I'll grab another prime minister or something and send it over, he can't say that my gift is not good?" ”

Zhang Hongfan's voice cooled down, and he said, "Oh, if there is no traitor internal response, Cheng Gongzi is afraid that he won't even be able to figure out who the prime minister is, right?" ”

Cheng Yue still smiled: "How can it be unclear? Just see which one is the most afraid of death? ”

Meng Qi couldn't help but interject: "I don't know what Cheng Gongzi means, is it that my prime ministers of Dayuan are all greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Cheng Yue hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, my admiration for Prime Minister Boyan, Prime Minister Ashu and Prime Minister An Tong is like a surging river, endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, it is out of control." ”

"Ahh......h

Zhang Hongfan laughed until his whole body was weak, he had always promised himself with his demeanor, but now his beard was all messed up, and he couldn't fix it, rubbing his stomach and wanting to cry out in pain, but he couldn't stop laughing. I just feel that this Cheng Yue is unexpected everywhere, and just now it made them hate it so much, but now it makes them laugh crazy.

After laughing for a while, the three of them roughly stopped, rubbing their stomachs and wiping their tears, and laughing a few times.

After calming down for a while, Zhang Hongfan coughed a few times and said, "Then I don't know what Cheng Gongzi means?" The two armies negotiated, if Cheng Gongzi insulted our prime minister, then we couldn't talk about it, so we had to go back and report it. ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "I heard that there is a man named Ahma, who has more than 400 wives, if this person is not a big corrupt official, it would be a strange thing." Since you don't care about it, Antong Boyan Ashu can't take care of it, I want to help you with this. Besides, I've always had a strong interest in beautiful women, what do you say? ”

Zhang Hongfan and Meng Qi's hearts beat wildly when they heard this!

It's not that they don't want to bring Ahma down, but where do they have the ability to do this? Kublai Khan went to war everywhere, and he needed money to fight, who could get it? Only Ahma. Therefore, Ahmad could not fall at all, and it was useless for anyone to advise. When they talked about it occasionally, they also sighed and were helpless. But this Cheng Yue actually said that he had a way to get rid of Ahma? If you can really get rid of this tumor with Cheng Yue's hand, it will be a great thing!

Zhang Hongfan and Meng Qi exchanged glances with each other, and Zhang Hongfan faked a cough and said: "I don't know if Cheng Gongzi knows that Ahma is the political affairs of Pingzhang in the middle of my Great Yuan Dynasty, and he is in charge of six departments, and the Great Khan regards him as his right-hand man, and he must not leave the left and right." The power is so great that he is still above Prime Minister An Tong, and he is already a very popular minister. Moreover, Prime Minister Ahmad has the courage to do things, and he has never heard of him being greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Cheng Yue knew that they were already tempted, and said with a smile: "People always die, it's useless to be afraid, and they will naturally die when they should die." If you are unlucky, you can choke to death by drinking saliva, Ahmad has offended so many people, there will always be times when you are unlucky. ”

Zhang Hongfan couldn't help but feel a little anxious, Cheng Yue obviously had something to say. Listening to what he meant, it seemed that someone wanted to kill Ahma, and Cheng Yue must have a way to help. But who? How can it help? By what means? These are all confusing to them, but they can't talk about this matter.

Meng Qi said: "Prime Minister Ahma's guards have always been strict, even if there is a plot, there is no need to worry. ”

Cheng Yue said: "There is no absolute thing in the world, it just depends on whether you want to do it or not." It's a pity that a virtuous person like An Tong is also ambitious, and I don't know what the end will be. ”

Historically, Ahma was tricked and assassinated by a thousand households, just three years later. At first, Kublai Khan was very sad, and after Ahma's crimes were revealed one by one, Kublai Khan ordered someone to whip him, so Cheng Yue had these words. But I don't know if this incident will happen on time if Cheng Yue is so stirred up.

Zhang Hongfan said: "Cheng Gongzi is alarmist, the master of the Great Yuan Dynasty is our Great Khan, not Ahma. Even if Prime Minister An Tong is moved to Biansai, he is still in charge of a strong army, what is the trouble? ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "I don't know if the kings of the north have been alive recently?" What happens if you don't have a good life? What do you think will happen if An Tong goes? Okay, I don't want to worry about your affairs in the court. A whole bunch of kings will fight for power, is it fun to fight? Is it fun to kill someone? Wouldn't it be okay for everyone to take a step back? Don't you understand that if you push others too hard, you can only achieve a temporary peace, and in the end you will get a bigger war? Always want to take advantage, but is it easy to take advantage of cheap? The Liao State took advantage of the Northern Song Dynasty, what happened in the end? When it was about to perish, it desperately tried to curry favor with the Song Dynasty, and said that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, and the Northern Song Dynasty did not help it, the princes and nobles were almost killed, and the Northern Song Dynasty finally took revenge. ”

"What about the Golden Country? Bullying the Song Dynasty is more ruthless than the Liao State, there are lessons from the past there, and it has not learned a lesson, do you say it is stupid? When the country fell, the clan was killed, the concubines became playthings, and the Song Dynasty avenged the blood and the sea of blood. In all dynasties, which barbarian country can be strong forever and not be wiped out? Sooner or later, we Han people will have to take revenge and come back. However, there are some idiots who do not believe in evil, and take advantage of the strength of the army for a while, and act recklessly, coveting only temporary pleasures and glory, without considering the price to be paid later. These people, at that time, seemed to be very beautiful, very smart, very powerful, but in the end they all became sinners, and after being killed, they were cut off from even sacrifices. If people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries. ”

Of course, Zhang Hongfan understood what he meant, Cheng Yue seemed to know very well the small abacus that Boyan played, and while he was surprised, he was a little unconvinced, and retorted: "My Dayuan has been living outside the Sai for thousands of years, and now it should rise up from time to time, and it is powerful in the world, how can it not become a dynasty that has been inherited for hundreds of years?" ”

Cheng Yue knew early that he would not admit defeat, and said, "A dynasty of hundreds of years? Do you really think that a centuries-old dynasty was built when it was built? Which dynasty was not vigorous and thriving when it was first built? But how many will last for hundreds of years? ”

"Xia Shang Zhou ruled the world by dividing the world, but in fact, the place ruled by the Son of Heaven was only a few hundred miles away, and we won't talk about this. Han has the rule of Wenjing, Guangwu Zhongxing, Tang has the rule of Zhenguan, Kaiyuan Dynasty, Song Dynasty because of the position is a little wrong, so the scholars and the people are very good, and there are Taizu Taizong Renzong Zhenzong has appeared such a famous monarch through the ages, which has been passed down for hundreds of years. I want to ask you, what do you have in Dayuan? Qin Shi Huang's military might, except that he did not go on expeditions all the time, how is it better than you? Three lives only. Emperor Wen of Sui was prosperous for a while, and Yu Yin went all the way to the Middle Tang Dynasty, and it was extinct for two generations. ”

"You Dayuan, Temujin is just a reckless man, what is the difference between the next few Great Khans and him? Can there be one who can govern the country? Kublai Khan used so many Han Chinese that he could barely govern the country. But how is his talent better than the few prosperous emperors I just mentioned? In a nutshell, you can't even rub the edges. With Kublai Khan's talents, he could only govern one province at most, not a large province. Is it possible that the founding emperors did not have such kindness and wanted to become a dynasty for hundreds of years? Is it possible that the state can be sustained for hundreds of years by force alone? Is it possible to copy the Mongol way of life in the place where the Han people live? Is it possible to establish a country in China for hundreds of years with more than a million Mongols? Is it possible to discriminate against the Han people, but want the Han people to serve them loyally? The aristocracy of the upper class is still proud of the lack of culture, is it possible for such a country to continue? I can conclude that even if I don't come, your Great Yuan Dynasty will only be a few decades after Kublai Khan. You're also well-read, do I have a point? ”

The two of them were chilled when they heard this, and they were stunned for a moment, and Meng Qi reluctantly said: "The crown prince is really gold, and you are exaggerating Cheng Gongzi." ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Zhenjin is not a bad person, but he has a weak personality and can be ordinary." And with all due respect, you have too many traitors in the court, and Kublai Khan is obviously wary of him. Whether he will be able to ascend to the throne smoothly, I don't have much hope. His sons are not the same, and they can't do it, and it is certain that the government will fall into chaos. You all know these people, and know that I am not lying. ”

In history, in 1285, there was a royal history to ask Yuan Shizu Chan to give real gold, Ahma Yudang Ta Jigu and others learned of this matter and sealed the imperial history platform in the name of calculation, and reported the matter to Kublai Khan. As a result, Kublai Khan was furious, and Zhenjin was so frightened that he fell ill and died. Kublai Khan remorseful and made Timmur the emperor's grandson.

After Kublai Khan's death, Timur succeeded to the throne as Chengzong. In the early days of Chengzong, because of the old ministers and auxiliary ministers, there were some actions, but on the whole, he was incompetent, and after his death, the Yuan Dynasty set off a struggle for the throne and declined even more.
