Chapter 323: Cheng Yue's Recital

Cheng Yue heard her say this, thought about it seriously, and said, "You said it well, this is really worth a try." But you're too pretty, I'm afraid those wounded soldiers will harass you. Are you afraid? ”

Ye Yiyi was so happy that she leaned on Cheng Yue's chest and said, "Then I will only take care of the officers and soldiers, and ignore those Mongolians, can't I?" Which of the officers and soldiers dares to touch me? Even the Mongols, I don't think they have the guts. ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "For the sake of a beautiful woman like you, a man can do anything to kill his head and lose his head." Even if it's me, whoever dares to touch you, I'm going to kill him desperately! ”

Ye Yiyi was overjoyed by Cheng Yue's sweet words, and bent down to kiss Cheng Yue passionately, until all the concubines woke up one after another.

Today, Cheng Yue wants to go to the court, and it is too late, Zhang Shufang and Guan Gao seriously put on the official uniform of the Yuan Dynasty for Cheng Yue.

After putting it on, even the cloves feel awkward. They are used to seeing Cheng Yue wearing the official uniforms of the Song Dynasty or new clothes, and they feel ugly no matter how they look at the official uniforms of the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, the official uniforms of the Yuan Dynasty are really not good-looking.

Cheng Yue had breakfast and rode a horse, and before he had gone far, he saw the team sent by Ahma to deliver Yaguli's dowry. It was too late yesterday to be delivered by night, so it was delivered early in the morning, and the four servants were indispensable.

Ahmad was very generous, and sent things to fill thirty carts, but did not say dowry, so as not to upset Kublai Khan, only said that it was a sundries for the Zhongshu Zuo Cheng. Cheng Yue lives in a new home, and it is inevitable that some things are not complete, so that not only can it be perfunctory, but also show the world that Ahma and Cheng Yue have a good relationship.

When the four servants saluted Cheng Yue, their eyes seemed to be a little evasive. Cheng Yue watched the team move towards his house. Called Mafu. "I think there is something wrong with those four servants. You go back from the side door, quietly find Shufang and Mei'er, and ask them to pay attention to the movements of those four people, as well as Yaguli's relationship with them, and keep strict care of those four people, and don't let them move freely. ”

Ma Fu received the order and took two people to quietly detour back to the mansion to spread the word.

Cheng Yue hit the horse and came to the palace gate, which immediately attracted the attention of all civil and military personnel. Cheng Yue took office as a new official. The first time I go to the court, there will definitely be a chapter, and the people under the Zhongshu Sect are all in good spirits today. But I heard that Cheng Yue went to Ahma for most of the day yesterday, could it be that he has already colluded with Ahma? Could it be related to today? If Cheng Yue leans towards Ahma, wouldn't there be no possibility for Zhongshu to cheer up? Or has Cheng Yue already said hello to them, just waiting for the chapter to be presented today, and the Chinese book and the book will show their support?

Cheng Yue greeted the civil and military officers one by one with a smile, and the crowd also saw a few old acquaintances who had been avoiding him - Lu Wenhuan, Lu Shikui and Fan Wenhu of the Lu family.

Cheng Yue gave them a salute from afar, and the three generals of the Lu family were stunned and hurriedly returned the salute. His face was full of emotion.

Cheng Yue separated the ministers and came to stand in front of Zhenjin and Hao Zhen, who had just been squeezed into the right position by him. Zhenjin looked at him calmly. secretly praised in his heart, smiled and nodded to each other with Cheng Yue, and did not talk, just waiting for the court.

Suddenly, three cannon shots were heard, the palace gate opened, and the ministers rushed in. Cheng Yue ranked tenth among Wenchen and entered the Daming Palace.

The ministers took their places, the bells and drums rang in unison, and Kublai Khan and Chabi joined forces and sat down side by side. Cheng Yue looked fresh, and when he saluted, he was half a step slower, causing Kublai Khan to stare at him.

During the Yuan Dynasty, most of them were in Mongolian, and only occasionally in Chinese when the Han ministers spoke, Cheng Yue basically did not understand, and he didn't bother to listen, standing there drowsy, bored as never before.

Kublai Khan paid attention to Cheng Yue's movements while going up to court, and when he saw that he couldn't understand what others were saying, he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and couldn't help but feel funny, and he was even more curious about Cheng Yue's recital today.

There were a lot of things in the Yuan Dynasty, and various affairs were reported one by one, and Kublai Khan had to make a ruling after listening to the opinions of his ministers, which was much busier than the Southern Song Dynasty. Anyway, Cheng Yue didn't understand, and Kublai Khan didn't have to avoid him

It took more than an hour, and the concerts in various places were finally disposed of. Kublai Khan glanced up at Cheng Yue, saw that his face was calm, and he was almost asleep, so he coughed angrily and funny, and said in Chinese: "Which minister still has this music?" I'm about to retire from the dynasty, cough. ”

When the ministers heard this, who could not understand what Kublai Khan meant? All of them immediately focused their eyes on Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue was awakened by Kublai Khan's words, and he was still a little dazed, yawned unconsciously, and stretched again. The ministers all smiled bitterly, so angry that Kublai Khan almost threw the paperweight at hand and smashed him. You can sleep so soundly when your heart is standing, you were tired last night, right? Bastard!

Cheng Yue shook his spirits and stood up and said to Kublai Khan: "Great Khan, the minister has his own music." ”

As soon as Cheng Yue stood up, the ministers couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes widened, and their ears pricked up, for fear that they would miss a word. Cheng Yue is a rare minister of the two countries, what will he do?

Kublai Khan nodded and said, "Okay, you can play." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Now the Great Khan is fully committed to running Monan, most of the Great Yuan's finances, taxes, troops, and labor are from the Han land, and more than eighty percent of the country's population is Han Chinese, but whether it is the central government or the provinces, roads, prefectures, and counties, most of the Mongolian officials sent to govern do not know Chinese, and they all rely on the translator and his subordinates to send back and forth, which often causes the situation to be unable to be delivered, and the will of the imperial court can also be distorted at will after it reaches various places, and even deviates from the original meaning. As a result, the power in various places is often in the hands of interpreters and petty officials, so that they can call for wind and rain, and the judges and daru Huachi sent by the imperial court are often just decorations, allowing them to deceive. In the long run, how will the Great Khan learn about the suffering of the people? How did the imperial court ensure that the decrees were smooth? The benefits are obtained by the small officials, but the reproach is borne by the court, and the people will become more and more dissatisfied, and the ministers will think that this is the way to bring disaster and the way to destroy the country. Since ancient times, the country has been governed, and there is no words that you can't understand, but you can govern well. Therefore, the minister wanted to ask the Great Khan to decree that all Mongol and Semu officials stationed in various places must learn Chinese, with a limit of three years, and an examination must be taken every year, and after the expiration of three years, all those who fail to pass the examination will be dismissed! The ministers of the court must also be able to understand both the Chinese and the Chinese, but the dismissal of those who fail the examination is determined by the Great Khan. ”

As soon as Cheng Yue's words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

What Cheng Yue said was indeed good, but no one dared to mention it. The Mongols went south to conquer the Central Plains, so it should be that the Han people want to learn Mongolian, so how can there be a reason for the Mongolians to learn Chinese? There are many Mongolian nobles who do not know Chinese, and they are still powerful, who can force them to learn? There are many Mongols who like to ride horses and shoot arrows, but very few like to learn, and if they really want to make such a will, wouldn't they be against all the Mongol nobles? Did Cheng Yue want to sow discord between Kublai Khan and the Mongol kings? How sinister intentions!

Kublai Khan's face sank and he hesitated. Cheng Yue is talking about the long-term interests of Dayuan, of course he should do it, but if he really makes such an order, not to mention the kings of the three khanates who have always been dissatisfied with him, the rest of the Mongolian kings may also be full of complaints, and it is light to scold him behind his back for forgetting his ancestors.

Cheng Yue knew what Kublai Khan was worried about, and then said: "Great Khan, what the minister said is not to let all Mongols learn Chinese, only those who are officials in Han land must learn, there are not many such people, the minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have calculated, there are only more than 10,000 people in total." The Mongolian princes and nobles in the court, whether they learn or not to learn is voluntary, and the appointment, dismissal, and promotion also depend on the Great Khan, and they are not affected in the slightest, and the ministers don't know what the Great Khan is still hesitating about? ”

Kublai Khan's eyes lit up, and he glared at Zhenjin again, and shouted: "Have you discussed this matter privately with Cheng Yue?" ”

Zhenjin was so angry that he scolded Cheng Yue in his heart, such a big thing, where is the little thing you said? If Cheng Yue's recital is recognized as shaking the country's foundation, even if he is the crown prince, he can't afford it. But he made an appointment with Cheng Yue to advance and retreat together, how can this be good? Frightened, he stood up and said reluctantly: "Erchen did discuss it with Zuo Cheng, but it was not said in such detail at the time, this matter is not urgent, and it can be discussed in the future." ”

Cheng Yue glanced at Zhenjin disdainfully, and said in his heart that a prince who was not responsible for it could not be counted on at all.

Prime Minister Zuo Cheng Kudu Cha'er came out and said: "Great Khan, the minister thinks that these words spoken by Cheng Zuocheng contain evil intentions. Most of the Mongols want to be officials, and if they want to be officials, they have to learn Chinese, and after a long time, won't they all become Han Chinese? When the time comes, will the world still be our Mongols? ”

Cheng Yue was furious, took a few steps forward, stood in front of Kudu Cha'er, and scolded: "What kind of bullshit truth are you talking about?!" The Jin State ruled the north for more than a hundred years, and the Han people became Jin people or did the Jin people become Han people? Was the Jin Kingdom destroyed by the Han Chinese? As the prime minister of the left, you don't think about the long-term stability of the country, but are alarmist here, what are your intentions? ”

Kudu Cha'er is a high-ranking official in the court, the official position is above Cheng Yue, and he is still a Mongolian nobleman, he never expected to be scolded by a Han person in the court, and he was so angry that he trembled. Other Han people only kowtow when they see him, but Cheng Yue will not be afraid of him.

Kublai Khan didn't expect Cheng Yue to dare to insult the minister in court, he was stunned, and said angrily: "Cheng Yue, you are not allowed to be presumptuous!" Kudu Chaer is the prime minister of the left! Is that what you can reprimand? ”

Cheng Yue said respectfully: "Yes, the Great Khan has learned a lesson, and the ministers have asked for a tribunal." ”

Kublai Khan snorted and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, remember your first offense, spare you once." You are in the Southern Song Dynasty, but you can't do it here! ”

Ah Shu stood up and said: "Great Khan, most of the Daru Huachi in various places have been transferred from the army, and there are still many people who don't understand Mongolian, let alone Chinese?" Most of the judges only know Mongolian, and they are also old, so how difficult it is to learn Chinese again, and the ministers also think that Cheng Zuocheng's words are difficult to implement, but will cause chaos in various places.
