Chapter 877: Kublai Khan's Mistake
Chen Hangyan and Mrs. Xu walked out when they heard the sound and saluted: "The last general is here." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Kublai Khan saw Chen Hangyan Tiger on his back, his voice was like a bell, and he nodded approvingly: "Sure enough, he is a good man!" ā
Chen Hangyan said angrily: "Don't dare, thank you for the Great Khan." ā
Kublai Khan was even happier when he saw Mrs. Xu, and said, "I heard Cheng Yue say, your swordsmanship is superb, can you open my eyes?" ā
Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows and said, "Why not?" Ask the Great Khan to borrow a sword. ā
The generals will come to the temple to pay their respects, and they are not allowed to carry weapons according to the law.
Kublai Khan smiled and said: "This is the main hall, you can't use swords and guns, and when you give a banquet later, you will ask your wife to show her strengths." ā
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Obey the orders of the Great Khan." ā
Kublai Khan admired the heroic Mrs. Xu very much, and praised: "A good female general, not inferior to a man!" ā
chatted with the generals one by one, and finally it was the turn of several Japanese generals. They have all cut their hair short, and they are also wearing the military uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty, except for being slightly shorter, they can't see much difference.
Kublai Khan carefully looked at them several times and said, "The Hojo clan dares to resist my Mongol heavenly soldiers with you, but I really want to see what your skills are?" ā
Anda Taisheng did not humble or arrogantly saluted: "The criminal ministers return to the Great Khan, although the Hojo clan is strong, but far from the opponent of Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty, since ancient times arrogance will die, rude and insulting the neighbors will be defeated, so the clan will be destroyed, the ministers know that they are invincible, and they dare not be brave." ā
Anda Taisheng's answer was very decent, and Kublai Khan was also very satisfied, and said with a smile: "No wonder the Hojo clan dares to give me a go, there are talents under him." ā
The Japanese generals hurriedly saluted together and said, "Don't dare, the guilty minister is afraid." ā
Kublai Khan didn't waste much time on them, and he wasn't his courtiers anyway. After the greetings, Kublai Khan turned his gaze to Cheng Yue and said, "Cheng Yue, I heard that you have obtained a lot of gold and silver in Japan, and you have also discovered a large vein of gold and silver?" ā
When this news reached Dadu, Kublai Khan was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched. Originally, I thought that Japan was a poor country, and even if it produced some gold and silver, the amount would not be too large. Who knew that Cheng Yue not only seized a lot, but also found a large vein of gold and silver, which can be called a mountain of gold and silver, can Kublai Khan not be angry?
A year's worth of 50,000 taels of silver is a joke! Cheng Yue is clearly taking advantage of Mongolia!
Cheng Yue said unhurriedly: "Great Khan, wait a little in advance." This time, the minister brought back the coffins of Du Shizhong, He Wenshu, and Sadu Lusi, who were killed by the Hojo clan, so that they could be buried at home. ā
When Kublai Khan heard this, he was immediately ashamed and hurriedly turned his face away!
Du Shizhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, He Wenzhu, the waiter of the Ministry of War, and Sadu Luxi, the chief of the Ministry of War, and other five people, were originally ordered by Kublai Khan to send an envoy to Japan, but were killed by Hojo Tokimune, Kublai Khan did not ask the remains of the five of them first, but couldn't wait to mention the gold and silver found by Cheng Yue, which was really embarrassing!
Chabi also felt that his face was gloomy, and the ministers sighed, all moved by the righteous act of Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War also took the initiative to salute Cheng Yue's back.
Cheng Yue's move won the hearts of the people!
Kublai Khan coughed a few times and said embarrassedly: "Cheng Yue, I was also about to ask about this, you did a good job!" ā
Cheng Yue said sincerely: "Great Khan, the minister thought that the five of them sacrificed their lives for the country, loyal to the liver and courage, and the minister specially asked the Great Khan to be extra gracious and be sealed and buried." ā
Kublai Khan nodded and said, "Quasi-play." Du Wenzhong and He Wenshu added the title of Shangshu, Sadulu Sijia the title of squire, and the other two were given the title of third rank and buried in their hometown. ā
Chai Chun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward to receive the order, and the ministers looked at Cheng Yue's eyes, and they had a little more respect.
In the end, he deserves to be the king of Zhennan!
Cheng Yue calmly continued: "In this Eastern Crusade, the meritorious soldiers and ministers have been named here, and the relevant rewards have also been drawn up, please visit the Great Khan." As he spoke, he took out a thick fold from his bosom and presented it with both hands.
Kublai Khan took the fold and opened it to see that it was full of meritorious generals of the Yuan Dynasty who fought with Naiyan, without mentioning Japan, and Cheng Yue clearly divided the two wars.
Kublai Khan looked down further, Cheng Yue listed the military exploits of these generals one by one, and unceremoniously pointed out the mistakes, what reward should be given, and it was also made clear, where is he still needed to consider? Just follow Cheng Yue's performance, no one can say anything!
Kublai Khan praised in his heart, if he had a son like Cheng Yue, he would now be able to enjoy the blessings of Zen!
Kublai Khan nodded appreciatively and said, "Cheng Yue, I will not change a word of your recital, and all of it will be correct!" ā
Cheng Yue's face did not change, and said, "Thank you Great Khan." ā
The reward after the war is a very difficult thing, and it often takes a long time to argue before a result can be determined, and then there are all kinds of dissatisfaction, Kublai Khan, as the Great Khan, must also be appeased, there has never been a time like today, just by Cheng Yue's letter, it will be finalized!
The ministers all knew the difficulties, and they admired Cheng Yue even more in their hearts, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly - such a capable minister, but he couldn't stay in the capital for a long time!
Kublai Khan smiled and said: "Cheng Yue, you have made it clear what other people's rewards are, what should you do with your rewards?" ā
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The minister is almost a very good minister, and there is no way to be promoted, so I don't ask for any reward." ā
Kublai Khan shook his head and said: "That's not good, merit will be rewarded, guilt will be punished, I can't be a confused Khan, Cheng Yue listened to the seal." ā
Cheng Yue said respectfully: "The minister is here." ā
Kublai Khan said in a deep voice: "Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan, first helped me pacify the three major khanates, and then led the troops to sweep the Guanwai, reset the province of Liaodong, assisted the government inside, and leveled the vassals outside. ā
Cheng Yue respectfully knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Thank you for the Great Khan, the ministers serve the Great Khan, and they will never give up, and I wish the Great Yuan the country prosperity!" ā
The ministers immediately congratulated and envied.
It's no wonder that although the reward Cheng Yue received does not seem to be large, there are two privileges that others do not have, one is the privilege of answering the cold, and the other is the palace with a sword. In addition to Kublai Khan and Zhenjin, only Cheng Yue does not have to be searched when he enters the palace, and he can freely enter and leave the palace without consent, which shows Kublai Khan's trust in Cheng Yue!
Cheng Yue understood in his heart that Kublai Khan gave him these privileges just to appease him. The more powerful he was and the stronger his army, the more suspicious Kublai Khan would become. If he is really the minister of Mongolia, I am afraid that he will be in a different place within three years! (To be continued.) )
