Chapter Seventy-One: I Married the Mongolian Princess
Zhang Hongfan and Meng Qi led the two to the temporary prime minister's mansion and sent people in to pass the word, while they talked to Yang Ting and Zhang Gui outside.
After a while, the Prime Minister's Mansion opened the side door, and Yang Ting hesitated for a moment and strode in with Zhang Gui.
Someone greeted him at the door, claiming to be Cui Bin, the left of Henan Province. Yang Ting immediately remembered him, this person was one of the several people with political talents in the Yuan Dynasty mentioned to him by Cheng Yue, and he was recommended by Prime Minister An Tong. This time, he happened to be in Dadu, so he came with Chai Chun on the order of Kublai Khan.
Cui Bin didn't expect Cheng Yue to come in person, exchanged names with Yang Ting and Zhang Gui, exchanged a few polite words, and led them to the main hall.
Yang Ting and Zhang Gui were also curious about Boyan, because Cheng Yue had praised Boyan many times, thinking that he could be compared with the ancient sages.
The two entered the main hall and met Boyan and Chai Chun, and Cui Bin, Zhang Hongfan and Meng Qi sat on the side.
Boyan said: "The peace agreement has been agreed, and I, the Great Yuan Khan, have sent the Ministry of Rites to the south to sign with your country. There are two copies of Mongolian and Chinese, one for each side, please take a look at the two noble envoys, is it inappropriate? β
Yang Ting took it and took a look, it was indeed as agreed before, and it had also been stamped with the seal of the Yuan Dynasty. Although the Mongolian language can't be understood, it's not difficult, and the Yuan Dynasty won't be stupid enough to make a fuss here. So he said: "Let the two of us take it back to the Metropolitan Governor to see, if there is nothing wrong, I will naturally send the seal stamped." β
The matter is solemn, but it is very simple. The two sides chatted a few more words, and Chai Chun said: "This envoy went south this time, and I heard a lot of deeds of Cheng Dadu on the way, but I don't know if they are all true?" β
Yang Ting's heart froze: I don't know what he wants to hear?
He arched his hand and said: "Envoy, please speak, I know everything below." β
Chai Chun said: "I heard that Governor Cheng is only twenty years old, and he has no family, I think it is because of the war?" β
Yang Ting and Zhang Gui were quite taken aback, listening to the meaning of this Ministry of Rites, could anyone still want to marry Cheng Yue? No wonder it was the Ministry of Rites and not the Ministry of War, so who is it?
Yang Ting took a sip of tea, cleared his throat slightly, and said: "It is indeed not convenient for us to inquire into the private affairs of the Grand Duke, but it seems that the Grand Governor does not have a family. This time the two countries strike the war, presumably the metropolitan governor can also find a family affair that is the right family. β
Chai Chun secretly praised Yang Ting's words, no wonder Cheng Yue dared to send him to face Boyan. So he lowered his figure and said: "The two noble envoys are both the henchmen of Governor Cheng, so it is natural to say that it will not be wrong." Don't hide it, there is a nobleman in my Dayuan Dynasty who appreciates Cheng Dadu very much, and wants to marry Cheng Dadudu, or - marry. β
Yang Ting and Zhang Gui were both shocked, even though they were prepared in their hearts, they were still surprised to hear Chai Chun say it with their own ears. Chai Chun actually used the word "marry", dare to use this word to Cheng Yue, at least he must be a king, and even more likely - Kublai Khan himself!
Yang Ting and Zhang Gui couldn't help but admire that Kublai Khan was here - he was really ruthless! Cheng Yue had just defeated him, and as a great khan, he could bear the humiliation and humiliation of marrying his daughter to Cheng Yue!
You must know that if this matter really becomes a fact, Kublai Khan will not be able to take care of this daughter at all, how does he know that Cheng Yue does not hate the Mongols? If Cheng Yue abused his daughter, he, the Great Khan of Mongolia, would have almost nothing to do! How humiliating is that? If you can't beat the barbarians in ancient times, it's the same as kissing.
How could he have made such a decision!
But think about it from another angle?
The war between Cheng Yue and the Yuan Dynasty was only a temporary truce, which was well known to both sides. I don't know that in a few years, the war will be rekindled. With a Mongolian princess by his side, Cheng Yue has to cast a mouse bogey, and he always has to be a little affectionate. And when the Southern Song Dynasty heard that Cheng Yue married a princess of the Great Khan of Mongolia, how could they rest assured of him?
However, the benefits of marrying a princess are also obvious, and the lack of horses in the Southern Song Dynasty is the biggest problem. The two sides will strike the war, and the horses will definitely be controlled, which is not conducive to Cheng Yue's development. Secondly, if Cheng Yue is attached to the horse, he can send people in and out of the territory of the Yuan Dynasty in a grand manner, whether it is trade or listening to news, it is much more convenient, and the benefits are very huge.
Kublai Khan was really a hero! Even Cheng Yue didn't expect this hand!
Now it's troublesome, how to deal with this matter? There are difficulties in refusal and acceptance, so it seems that I can only go back and hand it over to Cheng Yue to deal with.
Yang Ting thought of this, and said quietly: "Previously, the prince of the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to marry the county lord to the metropolitan governor, and the metropolitan governor was noncommittal. β
Of course, Chai Chun understood what he meant, and said: "The noble person I am talking about is only above the prince!" β
Yang Ting saw that he had confirmed his guess and said, "This matter must be reported to the Grand Governor, please wait a while, I will report it immediately." β
After speaking, he said goodbye to Zhang Gui.
When Cheng Yue heard the news, the expression on his face was incomprehensible no matter what, because it was so rich, so rich that all the expressions you could think of appeared on his face almost at the same time.
Surprise, contemplation, joy, anger, disdain, bitterness, admiration, fear, unwillingness, expectation, hesitation, etc., etc., stunned Yang Ting and Zhang Gui.
Cheng Yue in their minds has always been very calm, and the expressions on his faces are not much. Although Cheng Yue is still very calm now, and the expressions on his face are not exaggerated, many expressions that have never appeared on his face all of a sudden welled up.
It was difficult for both of them to understand what Cheng Yue was thinking, so they had to wait for Cheng Yue to speak while looking at the novelty.
Cheng Yue slowed down for a moment before he said with emotion: "What a Kublai Khan, I almost underestimated him!" I didn't expect that I would become a candidate for the Attached Horse Master, okay, very good. What do you think? β
Zhang Gui looked at Cheng Yue's face and said, "Childe, I really don't know the pros and cons of this kind of pros and cons, so it's better for you to make up your own mind." β
Yang Ting also nodded, and Xue Cheng spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he couldn't do anything.
Cheng Yue knocked his head and rubbed his temples a few times. I've never had such a headache since I crossed over.
Kublai Khan, you bastard! Such a strange trick!
Cheng Yue slapped the table violently, stood up and said, "I have made up my mind, the overall situation is important, I am married to this Mongolian princess!" Zhang Gui, if you tell the imperial court, just say that marrying a Mongolian princess is one of the conditions for peace, otherwise the Yuan Dynasty will not be at ease, and I can't help but agree. All the people must know about this, otherwise my reputation will stink. β
As soon as Yang Ting and Zhang Gui breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Cheng Yue muttering to himself: "I didn't expect that I could encounter this kind of thing, I also have today!" Alas, bad luck. The boat capsized in the gutter, carelessly lost Jingzhou! I have to sell myself personally, how miserable"
The two listened to it for a while, and almost hit the pillar of the Chinese military tent, but they couldn't help laughing at each other and walked away.
The seal of He Cheng Yue has been stamped, and Zhang Gui Pegasus sent it to Lin'an to cover the jade seal. He wasn't worried that the Southern Song Dynasty wouldn't buy it, and they had no other choice than to honestly cover the jade seal.
Yang Ting went to Changzhou City again and told Chai Chun in person that Cheng Yue had agreed, and asked Chai Chun to talk to Cheng Yue about specific matters.
Chai Chun was very happy to do this, and pulled Yang Ting to drink a few cups before letting him back.
However, Boyan and the others were quite embarrassed, when they saw Cheng Yue in the future, not only could they not show him a face, but they also had to respectfully call "Attached to the horse", according to the convention, maybe they will be crowned kings, how can they really be embarrassed.
Chai Chun cares about that, early the next morning, he first asked Boyan for peace, listened to his advice, and then pulled Cui Bin and other attachΓ©s to Cheng Yue's camp to meet him.
Cheng Yue told the four beautiful concubines about marrying a Mongolian princess last night, and the concubines knew that there would be this day, but they were surprised that Cheng Yue was actually going to marry a Mongolian princess, so that the status of himself and the Mongolian princess was not too different?
But Cheng Yue didn't think so at all, for him, his background didn't matter at all.
The concubines are convinced of this, Cheng Yue is different from others, and treats people from all backgrounds equally, they have been in their eyes for so long, and this is what they love about Cheng Yue the most.
And Cheng Yue doesn't have to be afraid of that Mongolian princess, this is their biggest reliance, as long as they serve Cheng Yue well, they don't have to worry that Cheng Yue will ignore them at all.
The concubines thought this clearly, and then they were relieved again. In the evening, he naturally lingered with Cheng Yue and served wholeheartedly, almost overwhelmed, and Cheng Yue was also in high spirits, even better than the first performance. So when Cheng Yue got up in the morning, his legs were a little erratic, and his spirit was a little weak.
Fortunately, when he saw Chai Chun, Cheng Yue had generally returned to normal, so he didn't make a fool of himself.
Chai Chun was very satisfied, he had long heard that Cheng Yue was young and handsome, and his talent was outstanding, but he still didn't believe it, for fear that it was a miscommunication. If the princess is not satisfied, the Great Khan will be embarrassed, and his own errand will not be successful.
Now that he has completely put his mind at ease, this time the credit is really great, where is there such an outstanding figure in the Great Khan's annex to Mali? I have never seen it among the Mongol princes and Han ministers. Alas, God is really kind to him.
Cheng Yue is more interested in Cui Bin. This talent, which is not inferior to that of his subordinate Li Fu Yin Yu, will develop according to normal history, and he will die under the structure of Ahma in a few years. How can I save his life and pull him to his side?
Cui Bin was stared at by Cheng Yue and was uncomfortable, he didn't suspect that Cheng Yue had any special hobbies, because he already knew that Cheng Yue had four beautiful concubines around him, and he was very affectionate. Cui Bin himself is not a great beautiful man, so he will not make Cheng Yue look at him. So, what is Cheng Yue's idea?
The more Cui Bin thought about it, the more confused he felt, the more he felt that Cheng was more and more unfathomable, and the more vigilant he became.
