Cheng Yue said lazily: "If your line is broken, Kublai Khan will inevitably have other ideas, so of course you have to send it, and you can decide what to send." Also, your eight servants can use you, and if you can't, I can help you. ”

Ding Xiang thought for a while and said: "Those eight people were personally selected by the concubine from the prince's mansion of real gold, and none of them are Mongolians, so they can be regarded as the concubine's henchmen, so you might as well wait until the concubine goes back." ”

Rou Niang whispered to Cheng Yue about Babahan's bribery of her, and she did not hide her momentary confusion, and praised Zhang Shufang even more.

Cheng Yue heard that Kuo Kuolun and Ba Bahan were trying to bribe their concubines, an unfathomable light flashed in his eyes, and when he heard that Zhang Shufang really knew the general situation, he hugged Zhang Shufang to his side and kissed him a few times, and said with a smile: "Do you understand why I value Shufang so much now?" She entered the door late, but as soon as she entered the door, I entrusted her with an important task, and this time she was made a temporary wife, are you convinced? ”

Zhang Shufang smiled and buried her face in Cheng Yue's arms shyly, and the concubines respected her even more.

After getting up in the morning, refreshed, Cheng Yue wrote a secret letter and sent someone to Lin'an. The concubines were busy making preparations for the expedition. Most of them don't know how to ride horses, so they have to travel by horse-drawn carriage. Cheng Yue thought twice and summoned Guan Gao to the study.

After Guan Gao entered the door, he saw Cheng Yue lying on the bed resting, lying beside Cheng Yue obediently, and said softly: "What do the officials have to explain to find a concubine?" ”

Cheng Yue hugged her into his arms and said, "There is something to be handed over to you, guess what?" ”

Guan Gao put his face on Cheng Yue's chest and said, "The officials want to go on an expedition, and someone in the Horse Mansion must take care of it." The official wants the concubine to stay. ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "You're right." Things are important here. It is necessary to pay attention to the capital. I want to contact Lin'an again, Shufang wants to take care of the affairs around me for me, Lilac's identity is sensitive, Xue'er is not familiar with Lin'an, others are either not as capable as you, or not as stable as you, so I plan to keep you here, are you willing? ”

Guan Gao smiled softly. said: "The official is in charge, and the concubine can do anything." ”

Cheng Yue stroked her hair and said, "You usually don't show your talents, and many people don't know your talents, but I do." You are generally knowledgeable, calm, have a strong personality, and work hard. Except that calligraphy and painting are not as good as Daosheng, the others are not worse than her. Obviously she should be a wife, but she wants to make her own decisions and marry me as a concubine. Your courage is no less than anyone's. She is gentle and a good female worker, and she thinks about me everywhere. I keep all of this in my heart. ”

Guan Gao silently shed tears. Cheng Yue's wife and concubine are as beautiful as a cloud, although she is a famous showman, she can't stand out among so many beauties. Aside from being able to sit at the main table during meals, she has nothing to draw attention to. Since she was a child, she has been shrouded in her sister's light, and it turned out to be even worse after she arrived at Cheng's house. She can only be good to Cheng Yue silently, and Cheng Yue is really good to her. Now, her talent has finally been affirmed by Cheng Yue, and such an important responsibility has been handed over to her.

Cheng Yue smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said, "Who do you want to stay and assist you?" Just say. ”

Guan Gao said: "Wang, Yu, and Sun, the three of them are weak, and they are afraid that they can't stand the cold in the north, so it's better to stay and help the concubine to take care of the inside and outside." ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Guan Gao said: "They are also quite talented, especially the Sun family, who can go to the hall and the kitchen, and they are all good hands inside and out, and it would be a pity if they were buried." ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "I know, but they are still inferior to you, so let them stay and help you." ”

Guan Gao nodded and said, "Then the concubine will go and tell them now." He said that he was going to get up.

Cheng Yue pulled her back to her side and said with a smile: "Where to go?" I'm leaving, why don't you stay with me alone? ”

Guan Gao shyly slapped Cheng Yue's chest and said, "Wasn't the official tired enough last night?" ”

Cheng Yue kissed Guan Gao's cherry lips and said, "I'm tired, I'm tired, but I don't want to let you go." The two laughed and got together.

The Wang, Yu, and Sun families heard that Guan Gao had left them to work in the Fuma Mansion and did not need to accompany Cheng Yue to the north, and their hearts were mixed. The good thing is that they have been worried that their bodies can't withstand the long-distance battle, and what they are worried about when they are in love with Cheng Yue, what can they do if they fall out of favor?

Guan Gao repeatedly assured them that after Cheng Yue also explained to them, the third concubine was relieved to stay.

At noon, as soon as Cheng Yue had lunch, the palace sent someone to spread that Kublai Khan wanted him to enter the palace to discuss things.

Cheng Yue changed his clothes and got on the horse, and soon came to the palace. I thought I had come early, but when I entered the palace, some of Kublai Khan's closest important ministers gathered together, and it seemed that they had been discussing for a long time.

When Kublai Khan saw Cheng Yue coming in, he beckoned to him a little tiredly and said, "Cheng Yue, you came just in time, help me get an idea." ”

Cheng Yue saluted: "Yes, what does the Great Khan want his ministers to consult?" ”

Kublai Khan said: "On this expedition, I want to determine two ministers to deal with the affairs of the court, one is naturally Ahma, but the other is difficult to determine. Originally, if Dong Wenbing hadn't died, I would have used him. But he died at your hands, what do you want me to do? ”

Cheng Yue said: "That's not difficult, there are many talents in the DPRK and China, and it doesn't have to be Dong Wenbing." ”

An Tong coughed lightly and said, "Cheng Zuocheng, we all have to go out with the Great Khan, and it is difficult to find someone who is recognized by the court among the rest of the people." Ahma Pingzhang recommended Kudu Cha'er, Prime Minister Ashu thought that the prince should be in charge of the country, I thought that Lian Xixian should be left to govern temporarily, everyone was in dispute, and the Great Khan was in a dilemma. ”

After listening to this, Cheng Yue thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "Well, each has its own reasons, and each has its own shortcomings. ”

Kublai Khan rubbed his forehead and said, "Oh? Cheng Yue, tell me, who do you think is the most suitable among the three of them? ”

Cheng Yue thought seriously for a moment and said, "I think that the most suitable candidates are not the three of them. ”

Kublai Khan and his ministers were stunned, and Kudu Cha'er and Zhenjin's complexions changed slightly. Kublai Khan asked, "Who do you say?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "The minister thinks it should be Yao Shu!" ”

Yao Shu was no longer Kublai Khan's close minister, so he was not in the palace.

Kublai Khan shook his head again and again, and said: "Yao Shu's talent is outstanding, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to practice, he can use it, but he can't use it much." ”

Cheng Yue said: "The Great Khan is worried that he is pedantic, right?" ”

Kublai Khan said: "Yes, he made me very uneasy. ”

Cheng Yue said: "The minister also has this worry, so it can be avoided by sending another person to be his deputy." ”

Kublai Khan laughed and said, "Who exactly do you want to recommend?" Is it Yao Shu or the deputy? ”

Cheng Yue Zhengse said: "Yao Shu's talent, prestige, and qualifications are enough to take on a heavy responsibility, and with this deputy, the Great Khan should be able to go on an expedition with peace of mind." ”

Kublai Khan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Don't ignore the wood!" ”

When the ministers heard this name, most of them were stunned - who is Buhumu?

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhenjin's mouth, secretly praising Cheng Yue's urgency. Bu Hu Mu is now in Zhongshu Province, Yao Shu and Cheng Yue are on good terms, and Cheng Yue is seizing power for Zhongshu again.

Kublai Khan's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he looked at Cheng Yue without blinking.

An Tong interjected: "Is Cheng Zuocheng talking about the one who doesn't ignore the wood of the Guozijian?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Exactly." ”

Kublai Khan said, "If I remember correctly, he is only twenty years old this year. I watched him grow up since he was a child, and when he was sixteen years old, he wrote to me to talk about national affairs, cut to the heart of the times, and had the courage to take responsibility, and I was very moved. And he has a good character, upright, I have always felt that he is a talent, so he is put in the country to be cultivated, and he is always ready to be reused. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Buhumu is indeed a rare talent. ”

Kublai Khan said: "You recommended the princes of the country to go to Zhongshu Province, but they didn't go to your house to thank you in order to avoid suspicion, do you still think they are worth recommending?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "The Great Khan's words are wrong. Ministers are recommending talents for the country, they are serving the country, why should they thank the ministers? ”

When Kublai Khan and his ministers heard this, they were all greatly shaken, paused slightly, and immediately raised their hair in unison and clapped their hands.

Kublai Khan sighed: "A word from you is better than three years of hard study!" Ancient virtuous ministers, but that's it! ”

Ah Shu hesitated: "Bu Humu is only twenty years old, and he hasn't stayed in Zhongshu Province for a few days, so what can he do, it is not yet known, and Lord Zuo Cheng has never seen him, so how can I be sure that he will not make a mistake?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "The minister knows that there will be this worry, so he takes Yao Shu as the main one, and does not ignore Mu second." Yao Shu is old-minded, capable and accessible, not ignoring the wood's youth and integrity, and is the son of the Great Khan's confidant, the Great Khan can privately advise not to ignore the wood, don't be afraid of any trouble. ”

Kublai Khan said: "Why do you insist that Buhumu is a rare talent? You haven't even seen him. ”

Cheng Yue said: "The Great Khan hasn't seen the minister, isn't he still going to marry the princess to the minister?" The minister has never seen Buhumu, and it can prove that the minister has no personal friendship with him. There are hundreds of vassals and officials, but have you ever used the wrong person? Yao Shu Khan knows it very well, and Buhumu Khan grew up watching him, did the minister recommend it wrong? Khan, don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, don't hesitate for Khan. ”

Cheng Yue has always had the ability to know people, and the whole world heard it, and as soon as these words came out, Kublai Khan was even more shaken.

Kudu Cha'er's talent is limited, Zhenjin is the prince, and he can't let him supervise the country casually, lest the people in the East Palace think otherwise, Lian Xixian has not been in the court for a long time, and some things may not be understood, and he just promised him to serve by Cheng Yue's side, so it is not easy to regret it.

In this way, Yao Shu seems to be a good choice, with Ahma and Buhumu constraints, and he is not afraid of his nerdy attack.

Unconsciously, Kublai Khan had developed trust in Cheng Yue and said, "What do you Aiqing think? ”

Hearing Kublai Khan's question, a group of important ministers had a headache. It is inconvenient for Ahma to object, Ah Shu is unwilling to object, An Tong does not want to object, Zhenjin is optimistic, and the others are staring at each other and dare not object. (To be continued......)
