Chapter Seventy-Three
Cui Bin said unconvincedly: "But Goryeo enjoys peace because of this." Besides, this is the request of the king of Goryeo, and it is not our Dayuan who wants the princess to marry. ”
Cheng Yue immediately interrupted him and said, "Don't lie to yourself, let alone use strong words. You and I both know what the so-called marriage is. Listen, and remember. Any practice that violates human nature, if not corrected, will sooner or later be countered. I don't care what you do to the Koreans, I just remind you that if you do the same to the Koreans today, the Koreans will do the same to you tomorrow. There is nothing eternal and unchanging, only change is eternal. ”
After listening to Cheng Yue's words, Chai Chun and Cui Bin couldn't help but feel cold, they both understood that Cheng Yue was comparing the Korean people to the Han people, and the strength of the Korean people was vulnerable, but the Han people were different, and there were heroes like Cheng Yue.
Jiangdong has many talents since ancient times, and it is unknown that they will make a comeback. Both thought of this sentence at the same time.
And what Cheng Yue just said is almost every word, although it is not as amazing as the Linjiang Immortal, but in retrospect, it is more profound and timeless.
The two of them repeatedly savored Cheng Yue's words, and their thoughts condensed for a while, and they were stupid.
After a while, Chai Chun sighed and said, "A good sentence, only change is eternal." After all the changes in the world, Chai was taught. ”
Cui Bin also sighed: "Now I look back at the Linjiang Immortal of the Metropolitan Governor, and my experience is deeper, and the officials bow to me." After speaking, he gave a deep salute.
Cheng Yue smiled indifferently and said, "You go back and tell Boyan about the slaughter of the city in Changzhou, I want him to do something to give me an explanation, this is not a condition, just a suggestion." I'll see what he does. ”
Chai Chun and Cui Bin looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little weak. Although they were not accustomed to the Yuan army's tradition of slaughtering cities, they never felt that this was a big deal. But after listening to Cheng Yue's words just now, there was an irrepressible coldness rushing to their brains, and they realized that under Cheng Yue's smiling face, there was an incomparably strong will. Cheng Yue has never forgotten the suffering and killing of the Han people, he has been crying, but it is always in his stomach, and he has not shown it to anyone. If this hatred is not soothed, they are afraid that the Great Yuan Dynasty will pay a tragic price in the future, and they shudder at the thought of this possibility.
Chai Chun reluctantly said: "I will tell you what the Metropolitan Governor said." However, since the two countries have reached a peace agreement, the Metropolitan Governor wants to become a family with our Great Khan, so peace is naturally precious. Prime Minister Boyan was deeply valued by the Great Khan, and if the Metropolitan Governor was embarrassed by him, the Great Khan would not be able to speak. ”
Cheng Yue said very calmly: "So I said that this is not a condition, but a suggestion of mine, a suggestion out of conscience." Whether you want to do it or not, and how you do it, is entirely up to you. If you think it doesn't matter, kill it, it's a crime to kill on behalf of heaven, and I have nothing to say, peace is precious. I know what you think in your hearts, and I know that Boyan doesn't think that he is wrong at all, and he will not do anything, and even you don't think that Boyan has done anything wrong. I don't blame you, it's enough for you to bring the word to him. You can rest assured that the two countries will marry the princess peace, and it will not be affected in any way, and what I say will never count. ”
Cui Bin said: "If the prime minister is willing to do something, what does the metropolitan governor want the prime minister to do?" ”
Cheng Yue shook his head a little tiredly, and said, "He won't do anything, it's not that you don't know." Cui Bin, although you and I are only meeting for the first time, I know that you are talented, loyal and upright, but because of this, you are very easy to offend those in power. Once you are innocently convicted, I want you to remember one thing, if I am already a great sweater, no matter what the charge you are charged with, you just have to say that I have privately obtained the consent of the Great Khan to ask you to do it, and let them ask me. The person you offended is not so quick to act, you have to wait for the people in the court to leave, I hope this will save your life. Alas, if you can be like Chai Shangshu, you don't have to worry about me. ”
Cui Bin was stunned by Cheng Yue's bitter words, and even Chai Chun was shocked. Although Cheng Yue is thousands of miles away, he seems to have a good understanding of the affairs of the Yuan Dynasty, and this statement is not bad at all. Chai Chun actually thought about saying these things to Cui Bin, but he couldn't say it deeply, so he didn't speak, but he didn't expect it to be said by Cheng Yue, who had just met.
Cui Bin was even more frightened, he had offended Ahma because of his outspokenness, so he was sent to Henan Province by Ahma, and did not stay in Dadu as An Tong wished. He thought that this matter was over, but what Cheng Yue said made him suddenly think of Ahma's methods.
How could Ahmad let himself go? He is just a provincial Zuo Cheng with no deep background, although An Tong appreciates him very much, but An Tong is also unable to protect himself now, and he is obviously at a disadvantage in the struggle with Ahma, and I am afraid that he will soon be sent to other places. What will he do then? Without An Tong's protection, Ahmad could kill him on any charge, and this was just a daily routine for Ahma, and there was no difficulty at all.
Cui Bin was suddenly woken up by Cheng Yue and thought of something he had never thought about before. But the last thing I expected was to learn that my situation was very dangerous from the mouth of an enemy I met for the first time, which seems a little ridiculous when I think about it, but it is extremely real and ridiculous.
Cui Bin let out a long sigh and said, "Great Khan Shengming, I won't be wronged, thank you for your concern." ”
Cheng Yue said lightly: "You just need to remember what I said, if you can save your life, you don't have to thank me." I have always admired Prime Minister An Tong, you are a person he appreciates, I know that you are also a rare talent, so I want to help you live. There are only three of us here, presumably Chai Shangshu won't leak out, right? ”
Chai Chun said: "Although the Metropolitan Governor can rest assured and does not hide it from the Metropolitan Governor, this official is quite friendly with Ahma, but he is not a party of Ahma, and he will never reveal half a sentence." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "It's not that I can't trust Lord Chai, and I also know that Lord Chai is not a party of Ahma, otherwise how can I say these words?" ”
Cui Bin thought about it, stood up again, and bowed deeply, and said: "Cui Bin has no form, and he has received a lot of favor from the governor. Listening to your words, it is better to read a book for ten years, Cui Bin knows that he is so shallow today. In the future, I will ask the Metropolitan Governor to give advice, and Cui Bin sincerely thanked the Metropolitan Governor. ”
Cheng Yue also walked down, personally helped him up, and said, "It's just a trivial matter for me to catch the wind and shadows, and it is not worthy of such a big gift from Mr. Cui." Mr. Cui is a pillar of the country, please take care in the future. Chai Shangshu is too, we will have a chance to meet in Japan. When you go back, you will say that I will arrange it as soon as possible, and I will never let the two princesses wait too long. Although the exact time is uncertain, it should be possible to make the trip within the year, so please rest assured. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the pen and wrote a few words: "You can put away this note, give it to you as a token, and cooperate with your words in case of emergency." I can only help you so much, you have to be careful in everything, if you can't, don't wait there to die if you can. Where there is life, there is hope. Sooner or later Ahmad will die, and you must not die before him. ”
Cui Bin was grateful in his heart, it was even more exciting than An Tong's blue eyes for him back then, this was a lifesaver. And Cheng Yue is still an enemy now, so he actually thinks about him and tries hard to save his life, but he can't pay it back at all.
Cui Bin gave another deep salute and said goodbye to Chai Chun.
While the two were walking, Cui Bin said, "Lord Chai, how good do you say it would be if Cheng Yue was not my Dayuan's enemy?" With his status as a horse attached, and with such outstanding talents, my Dayuan will definitely be even more prosperous.
Chai Chun also sighed: "Before, I heard that many tiger generals of my Great Yuan Dynasty defected to Cheng Yue, and I still felt doubts in my heart. Now it seems that it is really a matter of course that the Metropolitan Governor can get so many talents to help. Alas, if you talk too much, you should not have heard. ”
Cui Bin's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "It was windy just now, and the lower officials really didn't hear anything." ”
Chai Chun said: "You might as well keep that note, maybe it will come in handy." The old man has a hunch that once this Governor Cheng Dadu enters Dadu, it will definitely be a big show, you and I might as well wait and see. ”
Cui Bin said: "The Great Khan's move to marry the princess is really high, and the official estimates that Cheng Yue didn't expect it, and he is really reluctant to look at him." ”
Chai Chun said: "This is the great thing about the Great Khan, the Song Dynasty and Cheng Yue can't join forces and involve each other, so our Dayuan can take the opportunity to find a way to crack Cheng Yue's weapon." If there is a princess to do the internal response, the possibility of success in this matter will be greatly increased, and the Great Khan is far-sighted, and it is indeed not comparable to us. ”
Cui Bin nodded yes, and he was also very impressed.
While the two were talking, they had already come to the Boyan Mansion.
Boyan listened to the two relays of Cheng Yue's words and was slightly taken aback. With his hands behind his back, he walked up and down the lobby, but he didn't say a word.
Chai Chun and Cui Bin are both high-ranking officials, but they don't dare to hold up in front of Boyan, seeing that Boyan fell into long thoughts, the two of them didn't dare to speak to interrupt his thinking, so they only stood quietly on the side, and their feet were numb.
Atahai walked in, and when he saw this scene, he didn't dare to speak, so he had to accompany the punishment station together.
Boyan didn't know how many times he turned around before he finally stopped and said, "No, we won't do anything." If it is as Cheng Yue said, won't it make the soldiers feel cold? Is this our southern expedition just here to plunder? The people of Changzhou City resisted my Great Yuan Heavenly Army, I have repeatedly persuaded me to surrender, but I still refuse to surrender, and I have killed and injured countless soldiers, what is wrong with slaughtering the city? This Cheng Yue, don't want to scare me. If he dares to retaliate, I'll do it. ”
