Chapter 365: Chilling Heart

The day after Brother Mo returned to Dadu, the prince of Tachar and the prince of Habichi, who had not been ordered, also returned to Dadu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tachar is stationed in the Mobei grassland, and Habichi is stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, which is a certain distance from Dadu, but the two returned to Dadu on the same day, which is strange.

Kublai Khan did not blame the two princes, and specifically met the two princes who had returned to Dadu in the main hall.

It was also on this day that Kublai Khan received a report from Boyan, and the Song army, which had occupied Jingzhaofu Road, began to attack Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road and Fengxiang Road.

Kublai Khan consulted with the two princes in the main hall for a long time, and no one knows what they talked about.

On the third day, Brother Mo came to the palace again.

Coming to the palace with Moge were two princes, Tachar and Habichi.

Waiting in the palace are princes such as Ah Zhiji, Brother Shifter, and Clawdu.

Kublai Khan's trusted Mongol princes, except for those who were on expedition, almost all came, and this formation was not ordinary.

Above the main hall, except for Kublai Khan and many Mongolian princes, there was no one else, the guards were waiting outside the palace, and no one was allowed to approach, and some civil and military ministers who wanted to enter the main hall to report the matter were all blocked out, including the right prime minister Ahma.

The atmosphere above the hall is very serious, Kublai Khan's face has no smile, and the rest of the princes have no smile on their faces, everyone knows that the Song army in Sichuan has occupied Jingzhaofu Road, and will soon occupy Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road and Fengxiang Road, although these places are very barren, but after all, they are places under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian court, and they are occupied by the Song army, and no one will feel comfortable in their hearts.

The suffocating atmosphere lasted less than half an hour before Tachar stepped forward and spoke.

"Emperor Qi, the minister thinks that the conquest of Sichuan is necessary, the court can not raise tigers for trouble, if you wait until that Wu Shaogang really grows stronger, the court will inevitably consume more strength, the minister is willing to lead the army to conquer, must defeat the Song army stationed in Sichuan, take Sichuan and Yunnan...

Tachar's statement can't help but make people wonder, what is Prince Habichi doing in Kaifeng Fucheng, is it possible to go to Mobei to deal with the Mongolian tribes who want to rebel in Haidu.

As soon as Tachar finished speaking, Habichi also stepped forward.

"The emperor is willing to lead the army, attack Sichuan, and defeat the Song army. . . ."

Brother Mo's expression was very calm, he clearly knew that the emperor had no intention of attacking Sichuan at all, two days ago, the discussion between the emperor and him, the focus was still on being able to make the Song army in Sichuan stop, and now the battle of Xiangyang is being rolled out on a large scale, and the imperial court has no way to deal with the situation of two-front battles, at least it is too late to raise grain and grass, and the situation in Mobei is not very stable.

What worries Kublai Khan even more is that several large tribes in Mobei, including Ba Ra, Xian Ha Ba and others, are hesitant, and their performance is obviously an alliance.

If it weren't for this reason, the emperor would not have sent Tachar to be stationed in the Mobei area.

The three Mongolian princes of Hedan, Tachar and Habichi are the most courageous among the many princes, and they have become the marshal many times to lead the troops to fight, and the Hedan led the troops to fight in Xiangyang, and the remaining two all suggested that if they wanted to attack Sichuan, could it be that the emperor's decision-making had changed significantly.

While Brother Mo was still thinking, Kublai Khan spoke.

"Brother Mogo, Brother Tachar and Brother Habichi have all suggested attacking Sichuan, tell me what you think."

Brother Mo looked up at the emperor, did not hesitate, and quickly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the current situation is not suitable for attacking Sichuan for the time being, if the imperial court is fighting on two fronts, there are certain difficulties in the support of grain and grass, and the army goes to Sichuan to conquer, it will definitely affect the battle of Xiangyang, the minister's suggestion is to concentrate on the capture of Xiangyang Mansion City, after opening the door of the Great Song Dynasty, you can send heavy troops to attack Sichuan...

The status of the last brother is not ordinary, according to the previous situation, if he made a suggestion, Kublai Khan would generally adopt it, and the other princes would not talk much.

After Brother Mo finished speaking, his expression was still calm, and he thought that he had made the best suggestion.

That's when the accident happened.

Tachar looked at Brother Mo and spoke with a sneer on his face.

"Brother Mo, I went to Chengdu Fucheng, why did I think that I couldn't attack Sichuan, did I see my niece Akecha, and I had other ideas...

Brother Mo's face suddenly turned red, and he turned his head to look at Tachar, ready to open his mouth to refute.

"Brother Mo, Wu Shaogang led the Song army in Sichuan, it was so excessive, did the imperial court still have to endure it, when Wu Shaogang occupied Chengdu Fu Road and Lizhou West Road, he should have attacked, and now Wu Shaogang actually invaded Jingzhaofu Road and other places, if the imperial court does not send a large army to attack, is it waiting for Wu Shaogang to fight to Dadu? . . .

Habichi also spoke.

Brother Mo suddenly felt bad, Ta Chaer and Ha Bichi both asked to lead troops to attack Sichuan at the same time, this is actually not necessary, Ha Bichi was originally stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, if you want to attack Sichuan, you don't have to go back to Dadu, specifically in the palace said, and Ta Chaer is stationed in Mobei, and can not ignore the control of Mobei.

The emperor's meaning, Brother Mo understands, he just said the emperor's thoughts, but he was attacked by Tachar and Habichi, especially Tachar's words, obviously saying that his brother Mo was protecting Wu Shaogang.

Among the many princes, the identity and status of the last brother is the highest, directly governing the province of Zhongshu, which is equivalent to the supreme prime minister of the Mongolian court, and the princes such as Hedan, Tachar and Habichi, although they are also noble, can only govern one of the six departments in the court, and the power is far from being comparable with the last brother.

Brother Mo also knew that many Mongolian princes still had some opinions about him.

Thinking of this, Brother Mo's mood calmed down a lot, and he did not refute Tachar and Habichi, but spoke to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister's suggestion has just been said, the minister is dedicated to the emperor and the court, if someone in the court doubts the minister's loyalty, the minister is willing to prove his innocence, the minister is still the previous opinion, under the current situation, it is not possible to attack Sichuan for the time being, and the court must avoid the situation of fighting on two fronts."

What Brother Mo said was categorical, without the slightest hesitation.

After finishing speaking, Brother Mo lowered his head and did not look at Tachar and the others.

Kublai Khan waved his hand and stopped Tachar and the others, who were about to continue speaking.

"Our brothers in the grassland, we still have to have one heart, I have never doubted the loyalty of the last brother, and you can't have such an understanding, I am very clear about the matter of Akocha at the beginning, and it is very inappropriate to move out the matter of Akocha today, Brother Tachar, don't talk about this matter in the future."

"Whether it is to attack Sichuan, I know in my heart, I summoned you here today, not only for the affairs of Xiangyang and Sichuan, you are all my brothers, but also the prince of Mongolia, now is a critical time for the imperial court, you all have to help me work together to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and dominate the world...

Brother Mo's body gradually became cold, and he finally understood the emperor's purpose.

In fact, Brother Mo understands that his power is too great, and he has thought about resigning from some official positions several times, but the emperor has never agreed, and when doing things on weekdays, Brother Mo is also very careful, for fear of arousing the jealousy of others, but there are too many things in the court, and they are all decisions made at critical moments, and many times Brother Mo must come forward and share the burden for the emperor.

After so many years of hard work, I didn't get the emperor's approval, but in exchange for today's situation.

The emperor is obviously thinking about decentralization and balancing the relationship in the court.

The rest is an excuse, the emperor is a generation of heroes, he can control everything, how can he let Tachar and Habichi and others speak rashly, if there is no permission from the emperor, Tachar and others will not say so.

Brother Mo felt a chill in his heart.

After assisting the government, Brother Mo also read a lot of books, and he also knew a lot about the affairs of the past dynasties, and all the courtiers who were too powerful, no matter how close the relationship with the emperor was, were punished in the end, or the end was not good.

Brother Mo had noticed this a long time ago, but he didn't want to get into it himself.

After the discussion, Brother Mo silently walked out of the palace and went straight back to the mansion.

The next day, Brother Mo wrote a memo to the emperor, saying that he was old and had too many things to do, and begged the emperor to let other princes share some of it, so that he could rest well and rest his body.

Kublai Khan quickly approved the twists and turns of the last brother.

Brother Mo is still in charge of Zhongshu Province, but his main experience is concentrated in the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Punishment.

Kublai Khan's reply made Brother Mo full of emotion, the most important matters in Zhongshu Province are concentrated in the Ministry of War, in the past, Brother Mo was mainly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and now there is no need to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War, which means that it does not matter the affairs of the Privy Council, and the emperor did not require any prince to govern the affairs of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, so the emperor has to personally govern the affairs of these two yamen.

The emperor actually didn't trust any prince, which made Brother Mo feel sad.

Tachar and Habichi and other princes, I am afraid that they also want to be able to manage the affairs of the military department, but in the end it is such an ending, and they probably did not expect it.

From this time on, Prince Moge, who has been active in the imperial court, began to become silent, and the matters under his jurisdiction between the household department and the criminal department were rarely asked, you must know that the right prime minister Ahma, who is also the secretary of the household department, is the emperor's confidant, and everything is directly reported to the emperor, how can the last brother intervene in it, as for the criminal department, there are not many things, the court is concerned about the battle of Xiangyang and the situation in Sichuan, who will pay attention to the criminal department.
