As soon as Cheng Yue's words fell, a group of Mongolian dignitaries and dignitaries all gathered around Cheng Yue excitedly and asked about the glider. Outside, a Han official was even more anxious to squeeze in, but he didn't dare to push the Mongols away, so he had to stand on tiptoe and turn sideways to listen carefully to Cheng Yue's words, trying to figure out the style of the glider, it was Guo Shoujing, the supervisor of the capital.

The glider is one of Cheng Yue's secrets, of course he won't go into too much detail, and he copes with a few words. Seeing that Cheng Yue didn't want to say more, the Mongolian civil and military officials were even more itchy and unbearable, pestering Cheng Yue to ask him to fly as soon as possible to take a look.

Because they were in a hurry to sit down before Kublai Khan, the ministers marched very fast, and they were already in sight when they spoke. The Mongolian magnates were distracted, and the people around Cheng Yue naturally dispersed.

Cheng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and after not taking a few steps, Wu Liangbi finally found an opportunity to get close to Cheng Yue, and said with a smile: "It's so hard for the Metropolitan Governor to deceive the officials!" ”

When Cheng Yue saw Wu Liangbi, he held his arm very affectionately, and said with a smile: "Master Wu, you almost forced my general Zhang Xiaozhong to death, we have to settle this account when we have time." ”

Wu Liangbi laughed and said, "Governor Dadu, that's all in the past, and when I meet Commander Zhang again, it's good that he doesn't force his subordinates to death, haha......"

Cheng Yue also laughed.

After a pause in laughter, Wu Liangbi said in a low voice: "Tutmur is in the background of the court, and his family and tribe are also very powerful in Dadu. ”

Cheng Yue smiled slightly when he heard this, and said loudly: "Master Wu, I didn't bring much of those teas. I can only give you two pounds. No more. But it doesn't matter. In the future, I will ship it directly to Ahma Pingzhang, and Lord Wu can ask Lord Pingzhang for it, can he still earn your money? ”

Wu Liangbi smiled knowingly, and arched his hand: "Then thank you Dadu, tomorrow the next official will send someone to the mansion to pick it up." ”

Ahmad heard it and nodded with a smile. Cheng Yue opened him a new source of wealth, and of course he was happy. Tutmur was not counted as his confidant, he was only entrusted to say a few words in front of Kublai Khan. I didn't expect to be able to move Cheng Yue. Tomorrow, I have to make friends with Cheng Yuetao, and then explain today's things clearly, and I can't casually hurt the cooperative relationship between the two.

The inner courtyard of the palace is extremely luxurious, and every grass and tree can be seen with exquisite thoughts. Cheng Yue admired in his heart while watching. When you get to the thick gate, it's a different scene.

The thick gate is built tall and luxurious, and when you go to the gate, you can take in the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden, and the Taiye Pool is sparkling. The traffic outside the palace can be seen clearly. It is refreshing, like a fairyland. It is indeed a good place.

It is said to be a door, but it is actually a building, and it is a huge circular building, which is connected by a cloister, and there is a large wooden stage in the middle, which is connected with the buildings on all sides, and can be used by dozens of people to dance and perform on it. There is a separate cloud pavilion at the highest point of the north building, which is the place where Kublai Khan watched the singing and dancing, which is resplendent and overlooking all living beings.

When Cheng Yue arrived, upstairs and downstairs, countless seats had been arranged, and fruits and refreshments were also placed next to each seat for the ministers and harem concubines to eat at will, and then give a banquet in the evening.

There are countless people coming and going in the buildings on all sides, which is extremely spectacular. Cheng Yue roughly calculated that such a group of buildings could accommodate thousands of people sitting comfortably at the same time, enjoying singing, dancing and playing, except that the height was not as high as the twelve-story building he was repairing in Lin'an, but the scale was far exceeding.

Cheng Yue was a distinguished guest of the Great Khan, and he was also a coquettish guest, and he was arranged to be very close to Kublai Khan. On both sides of Kublai Khan were the kings, followed by Ahma and other civil officials on the left, while Cheng Yue was directly placed in the first position of the military minister, which was specially ordered by Kublai Khan. Before this position belonged to Ah Shu, he was arranged to Cheng Yuehou, Ah Shu didn't have any opinion, he lost to Cheng Yue, and he also saw the process of governing the army, and admired Cheng Yue very much, and Cheng Yue's status was noble, and it was not a shame to be subordinate to him.

After Cheng Yue sat down, Toto, who was accompanying him, frowned, and said, "Childe, why do you dare to arrange Childe behind those messy kings?" What is not more noble than them? "Toto, Zhang Gui and a few other people are very few people who can call Cheng Yue a son in private, they followed Cheng Yue at the earliest, and their feelings are different from others.

Cheng Yue smiled: "Forget it, whatever they arrange, where do I sit differently?" The key is whether we have the strength ourselves, and they will give them face if they want to. As long as it's not too much, the guest is the host. ”

Tokhtar squinted at the Mongol kings on the side, including the sons of Kublai Khan, shook his head, and said to himself: "None of them have become a weapon, and they are not worthy of carrying shoes for the governors of the capital." ”

After all the kings and ministers were seated, a large number of harem concubines poured into the other three buildings from each entrance like a carp crossing the river, and went to their respective floors and positions according to their dignity. Interestingly, these concubines came from all over the world, and there were very few Han Chinese, most of them Mongols and Semu, and many blonde, brown, and red-haired beauties from other khanates, numbering in the thousands. Because there are too many people, some low-status concubines can only stand and huddle together to watch the excitement, and for a while, Yingying Yanyan is full of all kinds of beauties, and Cheng Yue is dazzled and sighs a pity.

It was also the first time he had seen the harem of the Yuan Dynasty, and he whispered while watching: "Childe, I'm afraid there are thousands of people in this harem, right?" How many people are in the harem of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Cheng Yue thought for a while and said, "I heard that there are five or six thousand beauties and palace maids in Dayuan's harem, and there are more than three thousand beauties in Da Song's harem. ”

Tofu was taken aback, and leaned in front of Cheng Yue and said, "Childe, it seems that there are still too few ladies in your back house, and you need to find some to be worthy of the identity of Childe." ”

Cheng Yue smiled slightly and did not answer.

After the concubines arrived, after a while, they heard the bells and drums ringing in unison, and the ministers got up and saluted, and Kublai Khan took Chabi and other queens to the north tower, followed by two young girls. One is Nang Jiazhen, whom Cheng Yue just met, and the other is graceful, beautiful, and extraordinary. is obviously a Mongolian, but his appearance and demeanor are more like Han Chinese, except for Wan Ze, who else can it be?

Totoku clapped his hands and smiled: "Childe, this is really great news. Princess Nangkajin is beautiful and upright. Princess Wanze is no worse than her, and she seems to have the demeanor of a lady. Childe, you're going to have a nerve-wracking time this time, haha. ”

Cheng Yue stared at Wan Ze deeply, Wan Ze faintly felt that someone was staring at her, and when she looked up, she saw Cheng Yue's eyes not far away. As soon as he saw Cheng Yue, Wan Ze, who was still calm just now, immediately blushed, and hurriedly hid behind Nang Jiazhen, not caring that so many people were looking at her.

Kublai Khan also saw this scene, smiled, and waved to Cheng Yue with a smile after the queen and Chabi were seated.

Cheng Yue then got up and walked in front of Kublai Khan to meet Kublai Khan and his queens.

Nanbi was the youngest of the empresses and was the most favored by Kublai Khan. Seeing Cheng Yue was very kind, he was also the most curious about Cheng Yue, and asked, "When can I take a look at the hot air balloon made by the Grand Governor?" I want to go to heaven too. ”

Cheng Yue had a good impression of this beautiful queen with a round face, and said with a smile: "This is easy, the minister is too busy these days, wait for a few days for the minister to make time, and then make some preparations, and then the minister will come to invite the queen to go down." ”

Nanbi was pleasantly surprised, almost thinking that he had misheard. She just said casually and expressed her wishes, but she didn't expect Cheng Yue to agree! It's true? Is Cheng Yue really willing to let her approach such a secret thing?

Kublai Khan was also in high spirits when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Cheng Yue, you have to talk about it, and when the time comes, I will also open my eyes, if I can do it, I also want to go to heaven to see, can you guarantee it?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and smiled: "Yes, but the Great Khan also has to promise his ministers a small matter." ”

Kublai Khan pointed at Cheng Yue and smiled: "I know that you are not so good at talking, let's say, what's the matter?" If I can agree, I will definitely agree. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Saiyin Deqi guards Yunnan, is resourceful, brave and good at fighting, has many soldiers and generals, and the people are also very supportive. The minister has always wanted to conquer the southern countries, so the minister was thinking, after the minister cured his illness, could he ask the Great Khan for permission to lend him to the minister's command for a period of time during the minister's southern expedition? The minister didn't want more, as long as he led 3,000 elite men and horses to accompany him, and the minister promised to return him to the Great Khan in its entirety. In addition, the ministers will not treat him badly with the property obtained by the Southern Expedition, how about it? ”

When Kublai Khan heard Cheng Yue's condition, he immediately fell into deep thought. After thinking about it repeatedly, I didn't think it hurt much. He knows Cheng Yue's ability, and he doesn't need to help him much, it should be more of a symbol, indicating that the Great Yuan and the Great Song Dynasty will conquer the southern countries together, making Cheng Yue more famous. And Dayuan only sent 3,000 people to participate in the war, so he could share the spoils after the war, and it was a profitable business.

The only thing to worry about is that Cheng Yue may be able to increase his strength after defeating the southern countries, but it is not an easy thing to conquer the southern countries, even if he succeeds, it is not easy to manage, Cheng Yue is likely to not benefit from it, but suffer from it, and he does not need to worry too much.

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan finally nodded and said, "Okay, who told you to be my concubine?" Since it is a family, of course I want to help you, as long as you can cure Saingerdeqi, I will definitely send him to help you in your southern expedition at that time! ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Okay, a word is a certainty." The minister will definitely let the hot air balloon rise over Dadu! ”

Both sides took what they needed and were very satisfied with the result.

Kublai Khan summoned Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen to his side, and said to Cheng Yue with a smile: "I invited you to Dadu just to let my two precious princesses meet you and see which of them likes you more." This is Wanze, this is Sagjiajin, how about it? My princess is pretty, isn't she? (To be continued......)
