Chapter 944: The Covenant with Kublai Khan
The thick gate has been newly arranged by Cheng Yue, and a large number of palace lamps and galloping horse paper-cuts will set off the thick gate with flowers and joy, but Kublai Khan is discussing major matters with Cheng Yue at this time, and he doesn't care about other things around him. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info compared with the huge benefits of the Southern Expedition, what is the thing in front of you?
Kublai Khan stood still and smiled: "Cheng Yue, in this case, I will order someone to draft a covenant after the year, according to me, you can sign and seal it, if you think it is inappropriate, you can also stamp the jade seal of the Southern Song Dynasty." ”
Cheng Yue immediately shook his head and said: "Great Khan, if it involves the national system, it is not for the minister to be the master, so this agreement between the Great Khan and the minister cannot be regarded as an alliance, but can only be regarded as an agreement between the minister and the Great Khan in the name of the Great Song Dynasty, and the minister can sign his own seal, without the need for a jade seal." ”
What Cheng Yue said is actually a question of reputation. At that time, there was no such thing as a covenant of complete equality between countries, and they always had to be called when they interacted with each other. For example, the country of father and son, the country of uncle and nephew, or the country of brothers.
If there is really a dispute in the end, the relationship between the two countries will also be determined according to the emperor's spring and autumn. However, this is embarrassing. In terms of age, Kublai Khan is enough to be Zhao Xian's grandfather, if it is more lenient, even if it is a great-grandfather, it is almost qualified, if it is an alliance between the two countries, Kublai Khan's name for Zhao Xian must be written on it, and the tone will not be equal.
Cheng Yue can't change the habits of this era, but he will never go back with such a covenant, no matter how high his prestige is, no matter how obedient the Song Dynasty and the opposition are to him, it is inevitable that he will slander him in private, and it will not benefit Cheng Yue's reputation at all.
Of course, Kublai Khan understood what Cheng Yue meant, and he didn't think it was wrong, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Then we will make a decision!" ”
Cheng Yue also stretched out his right hand, struck three times with Kublai Khan, and said in a deep voice: "We are determined by one word!" ”
The ministers couldn't help but be amazed!
Kublai Khan and Cheng Yue actually negotiated an alliance between the Great Yuan and the Great Song Dynasty in a few words! It still sounds about the future Great Song Dynasty's southern expedition!
Although the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty did not have to build jade seals, from now on, the two countries can be regarded as real allies! And the world is qualified to be able to high-five Kublai Khan as an alliance, except for the king of Zhennan, do not think about the second person!
Sure enough, Kublai Khan looked around the building and said in a loud voice: "I have decreed that the king of Zhennan will be courteous to the same kings from now on, except for the previous court, before the crown prince!" ”
The chief of kings!
Before the Prince--!
The power of the king of Zhennan was raised again, and the Great Khan actually treated him as the lord of the country!
The ministers couldn't help but be shocked! Everyone understands in their hearts that both the Great Yuan and the Great Song Dynasty will have great changes because of Kublai Khan's will, and especially the Great Song Dynasty!
In this way, after the king of Zhennan returns to Lin'an, he will definitely be crowned king, and with the authority of the king of Zhennan, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty will become more and more ornamental. There is no doubt that Kublai Khan was secretly instigating the king of Zhennan to usurp the throne of the Great Song Dynasty!
The ministers and concubines of the building saluted together: "Congratulations to the king of Zhennan!" ”
Cheng Yue bowed his hand and said loudly: "Thank you!" ”
Kublai Khan laughed, stretched out his hand and said, "King Zhennan, please." ”
Cheng Yue said respectfully: "Great Khan, please." ”
Kublai Khan and Cheng Yue went upstairs side by side!
When everyone came to the Cloud Pavilion, Zhenjin and the other princes were already waiting here, and when they saw Kublai Khan and Cheng Yue coming up, they stepped forward and said: "Father Khan, King Zhennan, the minister has been waiting for a long time." Immediately put Cheng Yue in front of him.
Kublai Khan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay." He turned to Cheng Yue and said, "Cheng Yue, you sit on my left hand." ”
Kublai Khan's right hand sat Chabi, and the left hand side had always been real gold before, unless Naiyan or Haidu came to real gold. This is good, Cheng Yue occupies the left-hand position again, and he is really under one person and above ten thousand.
Cheng Yue didn't shirk either, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Great Khan." Everyone immediately sat down one after another, and the position on the right hand side of Chabi was also replaced by Wan Ze.
Naiban only received a vague entrustment from Kublai Khan, so that he paid more attention to the affairs of the host kings, but he did not have a real seal, so he was not counted as the head of the host kings, even so, Kublai Khan also gave him a high courtesy, let him sit under the real gold, above the other princes. As a meritorious minister and the king of Donghong Jira, Tugul also sat very far forward, and behind the princes was Tugul's burly body.
Everyone sat down, talking and laughing. Cheng Yue's hand clapped lightly, and an order was immediately passed out when he was waiting in the cloud pavilion.
Soon, everyone had a few more appetizers on their desks, a card with tonight's recipe and a charcoal pen, if you don't like to eat it, you can directly tick it off, and if you like to eat, you can increase the portion.
The ministers are all happy, this way of eating is really comfortable, and the king of Zhennan is really ingenious!
Kublai Khan also got a card, and after seeing it, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Cheng Yue, you are really interesting, not bad, not bad." "I wrote a few strokes by hand and handed them to the waiter who brought the card.
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Great Khan, in addition to the dishes on the menu, the minister has specially prepared a few dishes that have never been done before, and they will be served later." It's all carefully prepared with the latest ingredients, and Da Khan will definitely love it, haha. ”
Kublai Khan smiled and said, "Okay, Cheng Yue, I'm waiting for a feast, and I'll eat a lot tonight." ”
Cheng Yue looked at Kublai Khan's fat body and sneered secretly.
Not surprisingly, the most important thing the ministers and concubines wanted was barbecue, Cheng Yue did not disappoint them, and soon, large skewers of barbecue were served in countless quantities, and the roast was fragrant, which was completely different from the simple barbecue in Mongolia at that time.
The ministers immediately cheered, and there was jubilation upstairs and downstairs. The barbecue of the king of Zhennan has been awaited by the ministers for a long time!
Not only barbecue, many exquisite dishes are placed in front of everyone like flowing water, there are few vegetables in winter, mainly fish and meat, especially a few spicy dishes, which are made of chili peppers, Cheng Yue is afraid that Mongolians are not used to eating and waste, so let them choose.
Kublai Khan raised a skewer of barbecued meat, took a bite and feasted on it, and laughed loudly: "Good! That's the taste! ”
The ministers shouted: "Thank you for the feast!" Then he picked up the meat skewer and devoured it. The entire thick gate was suddenly filled with praise, and even the Japanese such as Hengren and Jiuren, who were sitting on the left side of the Cloud Pavilion, were full of praise.
Chabi's stomach disease was much better than before, and he was very happy to eat, and couldn't help but complain to Cheng Yue: "Cheng Yue, you can make such a delicious barbecue, why don't you let me taste it earlier?" This is good, I won't be able to eat other barbecue meat in the future, and I can't do it as much as one-tenth of your barbecue. ”
