Kuo Kuozhen had the first opportunity to see the well-known Cheng Yue, seeing that although he was young, he was free to sway during the banquet, and he had no awe of Zhenjin, the prince, and made jokes to put it away as he pleased, faintly having the air of an emperor, and couldn't help but secretly sigh and be more polite to Cheng Yue.

The three children, Gan Mala, Tara Ba Ra and Timur, found the opportunity and stepped forward to toast Cheng Yue together. Cheng Yue saw that they had drunk so much that their eyes were red, and the wine in their hands was still mixed with the spirits sold to the north in the Southern Song Dynasty and mare's milk wine, he sneered in his heart, but he did not persuade them to quit drinking, and drank a few words of encouragement from Wen Yan, and drank all the mare's milk wine in the cup.

Zhenjin stroked his palms and laughed: "You three, don't you hurry up and thank you Zhennan Wang Brother-in-law, I let him drink last time and he refused to do it." ”

Cheng Yue wiped his lips and said with a smile: "You are one person, they are three people, and they are juniors, they are different." ”

The three children thanked them and retreated to their seats. Timur wanted to toast Cheng Yue alone, but after thinking about it, he still didn't act.

Wan Ze could see from the side that with the improvement of Cheng Yue's status in the Yuan Dynasty court, Zhenjin and Kuokuo were really trying their best to win over Cheng Yue. This is the long-term layout of real gold, if something happens to the prince's mansion in the East Palace in the future, there is Cheng Yue to ease the cheeks of the prince, even if it is Kublai Khan, he needs to consider one or two, not to mention the future succession.

Cheng Yue is not ignorant of real gold. Most of what he wanted to do in the Yuan Dynasty needed the cooperation of Zhenjin's Zhongshu Province, and Cheng Yue's words in Zhongshu Province were of course due to Cheng Yue's strength, but also with the acquiescence of Zhenjin. Otherwise, if the two tigers fight, they will inevitably lose both.

Cheng Yue and Zhenjin hit it off from the beginning, and now they are getting closer and more tacit. Cheng Yue doesn't care about the daily affairs of Zhongshu Province, Cheng Yue has to do what he wants to do, and he fully cooperates and takes care of it personally. The two are natural allies.

Zhenjin said in a low voice: "You reset Liaodong Province this time, do you really want to kill Naiyan?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded slightly, and said, "Nayan is immortal, and the kings of the host will not bow down and obey orders." ”

Zhenjin paused and said, "However, Naiyan is the younger brother of Taizu. Oppose the re-establishment of Liaodong Province, and the crime will not lead to death. Once killed, I am afraid that the kings will not accept it. ”

Cheng Yue said lightly: "You are the prince, how can you have such thoughts." As long as Naiyan opposed the establishment of Liaodong Province, he wanted to split the Great Yuan, split the Mongols, and disobey the rule of the Great Khan. How is such a move different from rebellion? He doesn't deserve to die, who deserves to die? ”

Zhenjin said in confusion: "The three khanates of the kings of the Western Dao have openly rebelled. You don't want to kill. Naiyan has not been revealed, but you will kill him. It's not just me, many people can't figure out what you're thinking, and I'm a little worried. ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said, "These words were asked by the Great Khan to you, right?" ”

Zhenjin snorted awkwardly and said, "No, Father Khan trusts you very much, and I want to ask myself." ”

Cheng Yue said: "I won't tell you." I persuaded the Great Khan to spare the kings of the three western khanates, mainly for the sake of the westward expedition. If the three khanates are destroyed. It will not be possible to march west for twenty years. If you miss the great opportunity in front of you, it will be difficult to recover. As for Naiyan, without this problem, keeping him can only be a tiger, so he must die, and let the three khanates see. The Great Khan spared them an extraordinary grace to them. ”

Zhenjin smiled and said: "I guess that's the case, otherwise, according to your temperament, you will never stop without killing a corpse all over the field." ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "If there is anything else you want to ask, let's talk about it together." ”

Zhenjin groaned: "There is one more thing, you let Father Khan give you the power of life and death. Aside from Nayan and the other host kings, who else do you want to kill? ”

Cheng Yue said: "It's hard to say, I'm also prepared, some people should kill me directly, so as not to ask for an order, which is very troublesome." ”

Zhenjin said: "You mean that Fengzhou is the envoy of Xindu?" He and Nai Yan are clan relatives and have always been very friendly. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "You don't ask, I won't say." ”

Zhenjin comprehended and said with a smile: "Then I wish you a great success in this trip and the establishment of the country as the king." ”

Cheng Yue immediately shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in founding a country, Japan will be incorporated into the Southern Song Dynasty and become an overseas province." My reform in the Southern Song Dynasty has just begun, and I will go south next year, so how can I have time to go to Japan to be a king? ”

Zhenjin said in surprise: "It's hard to get to Japan from my father Khan, why do you want to be cheap in the Southern Song Dynasty?" You should be king yourself, and I plan to write to my father Khan to make you king of Japan. ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Meiyi Xinling, the king of Zhennan is very good, and it sounds much more comfortable than the king of Japan." As for Japan's inclusion in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is not cheap for the Southern Song Dynasty, and Japan is of course mine. The civil and military forces who govern Japan are all under my command, and I have to pay tribute to the Great Khan. The so-called provinces are only in name. After all, I am a courtier of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is not good to openly establish a country. ”

Zhenjin pondered for a long time, approached Cheng Yue's ear and whispered: "The territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, you can make your own decisions, if you need my help, I am duty-bound." ”

Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "By you inheriting the throne of your father Khan, Dayuan can be stable." If the Mongol kings make any more changes, I will still follow the example of dogs and horses. ”

Zhenjin picked up the gold cup and said with a smile: "Can you drink this cup?" ”

Cheng Yue raised his glass and said, "Drink this cup." ”

The two of them drank it all and laughed.

Kuo Kuozhen also raised his glass to Wan Ze and said, "Wan Ze, let's have a drink too." ”

Wan Ze raised his glass and smiled: "Of course, I respect you." ”

Kuo Kuozhen shook his head and smiled: "No, I respect you." ”

After the two women respected each other, they looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

Yao Shu, Buhumu and other ministers noticed this situation and were overjoyed. Yao Shu got up and raised his glass and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please drink this cup to the full." ”

The ministers got up together and said, "Please." ”

Wine is drunk, but some people understand, some people don't, and most people don't understand.

After three rounds of wine, the roasted hump was finally served, and the three of Gan Ma La, Answer Ma Ba Ra and Timur refused to let others serve it alone, and finally the three of them had to serve it in front of Cheng Yue together.

Zhenjin and the ministers frowned secretly, and their eyes were only fixed on Timur. Cheng Yue didn't see it, and smiled at the three children: "Such a big thing, you can hold it, thank you, wait and eat together." "The eyes are only fixed on the hump that emits an enticing fragrance.

Wan Ze and Kuokuo Zhen left their seats, took the hump from the three children, and put it in front of Cheng Yue and Zhenjin.

Wanzawa and Kuokuo really took matters into their own hands and used a knife to cut the hump into small pieces. Cheng Yue and real gold each clipped a piece and sent it into the mouth.

Cheng Yue clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, it's really delicious." Wanze, you give the three of them some points. ”

Wan Ze cut off a piece of hump and divided it among the three children, deliberately dividing it very evenly, and I couldn't see which one was more.

Kuo Kuozhen was then distributed to several important ministers of Zhongshu Province. Humps are rare and cannot be eaten by ordinary people.

After eating the hump, Cheng Yue's cake and cream bread were immediately connected, and everyone's excited reaction was no less than yesterday in the palace, and the three children almost ate a ball, but finally did not forget to thank Cheng Yue.

Zhenjin was full of praise and said, "I just heard that your cake and bread were a sensation in the palace yesterday, and you sent them to me, haha, they are extremely delicious." ”

Bu Humu smiled: "When the minister set off from home today, he saw that the door of the newly opened cake shop was surrounded by water, and he thought about whether he could buy a little to go back to his filial piety to his mother. ”

Lu Wenhuan smiled: "I can't buy it if I want to, I sent my family to buy it this morning, but my family squeezed out a shoe and returned empty-handed." Fortunately, the prince brought it, and I took this bread so that I could go home on an errand. ”

Each of the ministers hid a loaf of bread to take home, and some even managed to wrap a piece of cake, it doesn't matter if the shape is not good, as long as it can be eaten.

Zhenjin said: "Cheng Yue, if you give me money for my five children, do you want them to buy this?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Not only this, the treasure money has been depreciating, the store does not accept it, and it is inconvenient to buy silver and copper coins, so it is best to use this." ”

Kuo Kuozhen exclaimed: "The dragon banknotes and dragon money made by the prince are really good, and we should also use them." ”

Bu Hu Mu said: "It's already useful, I can occasionally see it a few days ago, most of the shops that specialize in the goods of the Southern Song Dynasty like to accept it, and the people are willing to use it." ”

Zhenjin sighed: "The world understands money, no one can surpass the king of Zhennan, dragon money and dragon money, even if the government does not use it, the people will still use it, the two are convenient, why not?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "If Dayuan wants to use it, just use it casually." The Liao and Jin of the previous dynasty used the money of the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no chaos. ”

Yao Shu nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't use it, it will be messy." Da Yuan's money is even more messy than that of Da Song, and it should be cleaned up. ”

The ministers nodded frequently.

Zhenjin remembered one thing and said, "Cheng Yue, aren't you going to take Dehuan with you on this expedition?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Yes, he wants to make some military achievements." ”

Zhenjin said: "How about my three sons go with you?" You don't have to send them to battle, it's good to open your eyes. ”

The three children jumped to their feet excitedly.

Cheng Yue immediately shook his head and said, "No, I don't allow people under the age of sixteen to appear on the battlefield, and I can't watch from the sidelines." ”

Zhenjin was stunned: "What does it matter? We Mongols rode horses and fought many times when they were ten or eight years old. ”

Cheng Yue Zhengse said: "Actually, I wanted to say that it shouldn't have been." How can children be allowed to kill with the army before their minds have attained? Over time, who will you become? Let's wait until they're sixteen. ”

Zhenjin had no choice but to give up, and the three children were also quite disappointed.

Kuo Kuo really couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yue, and felt that he was amazing more and more. It is no wonder that he dared to directly criticize the customs of the Mongols, and whether the Great Khan and other Mongol nobles would be unhappy when they knew about it, it was no wonder that they were able to gain the heartfelt support of everyone.
