Cheng Yue finished his glasses and let out a long breath, with beads of sweat flowing from concentration on his forehead.

Wan Ze called a chamberlain, handed his handkerchief to him, and pointed at Cheng Yue.

The waiter respectfully accepted the order, and held this handkerchief in front of Cheng Yue, who had just stood up.

Cheng Yue took the handkerchief and immediately smelled the smell of the perfume made in Suzhou, which was faint and very elegant. The handkerchief is embroidered with the word "Wanze" in Chinese characters, and there is a row of Mongolian characters underneath, presumably the Mongolian name of Wanze.

Cheng Yue's heart moved, Wanze? She actually put Chinese characters above Mongolian, and did not put her own surname, which shows that she is really determined to marry herself, and promises to respect herself, a smart and understanding girl!

Cheng Yue looked up at the left side of the hall, a slender figure was frightened by him, and another beautiful girl was greeting him with a sweet smile. It seems that the figure just now must be complete.

Kublai Khan also glanced at Wan Ze and saw her fleeing like a frightened rabbit, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Chabi also smiled and shook his head, girlish feelings.

Cheng Yue wiped his face with a handkerchief a few times and casually took it into his arms. Nangjiazhen pursed his mouth, secretly hating himself for his slow reaction and being preempted by Wan Ze.

Cheng Yue put the glasses on Kublai Khan's ears, and Kublai Khan's vision immediately became extremely clear.

Kublai Khan couldn't help but look around with joy, excited, pointed to Ahma and said, "You have a dirty thing on your boots, haha......"

When the ministers looked at it, there was indeed a dirty spot on Ahma's boots. They laughed along. Congratulations to Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan stretched out his big finger to Cheng Yue. Laughing: "Good! Your tea and glasses are treasures! I love it! But I'm still going to give you a problem. I heard that you gave six gifts to the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty, and I can't have less than six here! ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The minister is not far away, of course, he must not make the Great Khan unhappy." The third gift is here. Yan took out a delicate kerosene lamp from the box, took out a box of matches, and said: "This is a kerosene lamp made by Chenxin, which is bright and less smoky, and can also adjust the size of the flame." In order to make the Great Khan the first owner of the kerosene lamp, the minister has not made it public. Please laugh at the Great Khan. ”

Kublai Khan took the kerosene lamp with his own hands, put it on the table in front of him, and after carefully checking it from the inside out, he motioned for Cheng Yue to light it.

Cheng Yue wiped a match, turned on the oil switch, and instantly lit the kerosene lamp.

Although it was daytime during the last dynasty, because the sunlight could not shine into the Daming Hall too much, Kublai Khan's front was actually a little dim. Now as soon as it is lit by kerosene lamps, the surroundings are immediately as bright as day, several times brighter than the best oil lamps and candles. And it's exactly as Cheng Yue said. I can't see the fumes.

Both Kublai Khan and Chabi had childlike smiles on their faces, and they looked carefully in front of them. The more you look at it, the more amazing it becomes. Kublai Khan clapped his hands heavily and cheered: "Good thing! What a good thing! How many kerosene lamps did you bring this time? I've got it all. ”

Cheng Yue showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and said hesitantly: "This ......, the minister is not stingy, but this thing is too expensive, and the minister can't afford to offer too much." ”

Kublai Khan was stunned when he heard this, and then Cheng Yue was so angry that he almost jumped up. He was a great khan, and he had never asked someone for something and was rejected. He just wanted to bring everything Cheng Yue brought this time, but he didn't expect Cheng Yue to not even give him this face.

Chabi hurriedly pulled Kublai Khan and glanced at him.

Kublai Khan held back his anger and said with a calm face: "Then I can buy your head office, right?" How many do you have? ”

Cheng Yuecai was not afraid that he would turn his face, and said with a smile: "The minister brought three thousand this time, how much does the Great Khan want to buy?" ”

Kublai Khan was stunned again when he heard this, he thought that Cheng Yue could bring a maximum of one hundred and eighty, but he didn't expect him to bring so many, so he was really wrong to blame him just now. Three thousand, the value must be extremely amazing, and you can't give it away to others.

Kublai Khan's face immediately softened, he smiled apologetically, and after a little thought, he waved his hand and said, "I want it all!" There are a lot of places to be used in the palace, and this thing seems to be safe, and if you give one point to the kings and ministers, how can three thousand be enough? How much does it cost? ”

Cheng Yue grinned and said: "Originally, it was five taels of silver, but since it was the Great Khan who wanted it, then give a capital, three taels of silver, which is a little bit of the minister's heart." ”

Kublai Khan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that glass was very expensive, and it would definitely be more expensive to make it like this, he was ready to pay a lot of money, but he didn't expect Cheng Yue to give him another surprise.

Kublai Khan said: "Okay, I can't let you suffer, so let's do it, three thousand, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver, you don't shirk, I have made up my mind." ”

Cheng Yue shook his head firmly, and said: "The minister is a good word, don't want it, Da Khan, it's better to use the extra 1,000 taels of silver as money to buy lamp oil." ”

When Kublai Khan heard this, he was even more indescribably satisfied with Cheng Yue, and laughed and said, "Okay, just take what you say." ”

Cheng Yue saluted and said: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Everyone in the hall nodded frequently. Cheng Yue is both persistent and not arrogant, which makes it difficult not to have a good impression of him.

Chabi looked at Cheng Yue lovingly, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and quietly said to Kublai Khan: "Great Khan, this colt is really well found, and the Great Khan is really a wise king." ”

Kublai Khan smiled, patted Chabi's hand, stroked his beard, and was secretly proud in his heart.

Everyone was waiting for Cheng Yue's next gift, but Cheng Yue closed the box.

Kublai Khan couldn't help asking, "Are these three things all?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Of course, there are three things, one is that the minister has long promised to make a set of clothes for the Great Khan, and the latest woolen wool made by the minister is used." It's the same with this material, which has not been used by anyone since the minister made it, just waiting to make the first set for the Great Khan. So, does the Great Khan mind letting his ministers go to the back to measure the body of the Great Khan? ”

Kublai Khan's heart blossomed, he stood up all of a sudden, opened his arms and said, "What are you going to do in the back?" Come, measure, I've long seen that your clothes look good. ”

Cheng Yue took out the tape measure from his pocket, and stepped forward to measure Kublai Khan's measurements and height, and became a tailor again.

Nang Jiazhen and Wan Ze, who sneaked back secretly, watched it interestingly, and felt that Cheng Yue was different, much stronger than those Mongolian men who were clumsy and could only fight and kill.

Cheng Yue finished measuring the size, returned to the place where he was, wrote it down with charcoal, handed it to Toto, and motioned for him to send it out to the tailor he had brought over. Turning his head, he said, "The minister will send someone to do it, and try his best to make the Great Khan wear it today." ”

Kublai Khan smiled with joy and said, "What about the fifth?" ”

Cheng Yue said solemnly: "The minister remembers that he promised the Great Khan to treat the two important ministers of the Great Khan, Lian Xixian and Sai Yin Gedeqi, these two adults can return to Dadu?" ”

Kublai Khan also said solemnly: "This is a big thing in my heart, if you can cure them, it will be more than any gift for me to like." The two of them will arrive in Dadu in a few days, and then they will ask for everything. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Don't dare, the ministers should do their best to live up to the Khan's entrustment." ”

Kublai Khan smiled and said, "This fifth gift is very precious and very comforting, but what about the sixth?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "The minister sang a song for the queen mother, and he couldn't favor one over the other, so the minister also specially wrote a song for the Great Khan." ”

Kublai Khan waved his fist happily and said, "This is my good horse, haha." I've heard most of the songs you've written, and I like them so much. Don't be in a hurry to sing it first, and then sing it when the banquet is given, I will let the women of the harem come out so that they can all hear it. ”

Cheng Yue gracefully bowed and said, "Everything is in accordance with the will of the Great Khan." ”

Kublai Khan nodded his head with a smile and gave a thumbs up to Yelu Zhu in appreciation of his first proposal to summon Cheng Yue as a concubine.

Seeing that Kublai Khan seemed to have forgotten something, Ahmad coughed lightly and glanced at Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan suddenly remembered Zhang Hongfan's recital a few days ago, sighed, put away his smile and said, "Cheng Yue, are you safe on the road this time?" Did you run into any trouble? ”

Cheng Yue sneered in his heart, it turned out that Tutmoor's backer was Ahma, no wonder he dared to be so arrogant. The smile on his face remained unchanged, and he said, "With the will of the Great Khan, how can anyone dare to be a minister?" Didn't run into any trouble. ”

Kublai Khan muttered, "Is there such a thing as a note that I received a note saying that Tutmur was killed by you?" ”

When the Mongolian nobles in the palace heard Kublai Khan mention this, they all became serious, and the harmony just now was completely gone. It is a great crime for the Han people to kill the Mongols, even if the Mongols are the most heinous crimes, the high-ranking officials of the Han people basically cannot be killed, and they must be handed over to the Mongolian judges for adjudication. Everyone's eyes were focused on Cheng Yue's face to see what he was going to say.

Cheng Yue smiled faintly and said calmly: "This matter, the Great Khan doesn't need to thank the ministers, the ministers just do it easily, and it doesn't have much credit." ”

What——?! The Mongol nobles in the hall couldn't help but clench their fists angrily.

Kublai Khan's expression changed slightly, Ahma's brows were tightly locked, and he was all angry enough by Cheng Yue's words.

Kublai Khan said in a deep voice: "Tutmur is the Daru Huachi of the East and West Roads of Shandong, with brilliant military achievements and high power, even if I am me, I can't arbitrarily dispose of him." He was wrong, but he didn't sin unto death! No matter what, you're going to have to give me an explanation! ”

The atmosphere in the hall turned solemn almost instantly. Chabi glanced at Cheng Yue worriedly, and secretly pulled the corner of Kublai Khan's clothes under his hand.

Kublai Khan did not know about it and ignored it.

Cheng Yue was still calm, and said with a smile: "If there are weeds in the field where grain is grown, we must remove weeds, and if there is a plague in captivity, we must kill the livestock in captivity, and if there are insects on the pillars of the house, we must deal with them as soon as possible." The minister just did something that should be done, and he didn't know what to explain to the Great Khan? (To be continued......)
