Liu Bingzhong, Yao Shu, Shi Tianze, Yan Zhongfan, Dong Wenshan and others all came to Zhang Wenqian's mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These people were probably the most prominent Han ministers in the Mongol court.

Today, they gathered here to Zhang Wenqian, for one thing, how to deal with Wu Shaogang, the Sichuan envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Among them, Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou's feelings are the most profound, both of them have been defeated by the Hezhou Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is Wu Shaogang who commands the Hezhou Imperial Army.

The imperial army of Hezhou actually defeated the Mongolian iron cavalry and captured the Wuliang Hetai, which made Zhang Wenqian and others extremely surprised, in their opinion, the Mongolian iron cavalry is invincible in the world, and the Wuliang Hetai is also one of the best generals in the Mongolian court, and it is impossible to fail.

The thinking of the Han people is indeed more complex than that of the Mongols.

Let's just say that the Mongolian prince Moge, Hedan, Tacha'er and Habichi and others did not think how powerful the Hezhou imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty was, but they only thought that the claws were negligent with Wuliang Hetai, which would lead to failure, but Zhang Wenqian and others had different views, they clearly saw the rise of the Hezhou imperial army, and saw the rise of another force outside the Great Song Dynasty, this force is very terrible, if it is not stopped, I don't know what will happen in the future.

Zhang Wenqian once asked Zhang Rou in detail why the Mongolian army that rushed to the aid failed and what happened to him, and after listening carefully to Zhang Rou's story, he first felt the crisis.

Zhang Wenqian, who had the highest status among the Han ministers and handled things most calmly, couldn't sit still,

When Kublai Khan had not yet clarified the task, Zhang Wenqian began to contact Liu Bingzhong and others.

Zhang Wenqian's initiative surprised Liu Bingzhong and others, and it was also a completely positive response.

When Kublai Khan issued an edict asking Zhang Wenqian and others to think of a way to deal with Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty Sichuan, Liu Bingzhong and others admired Zhang Wenqian even more.

In Zhang Wenqian's mansion, everyone has discussed many times, and finally decided on the method of calculating Wu Shaogang by negotiating peace, of course, this is not entirely a calculation of Wu Shaogang, but also a calculation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Wenqian knew that Yue Fei a hundred years ago, and it was precisely because of the cowardice of the Great Song Dynasty that he lived in a corner, which made Zhang Wenqian and others think of this method.

Whether it can be successful, Zhang Wenqian and Liu Bingzhong and others also have a lot of controversy, Zhang Wenqian believes that now is different from a hundred years ago, at that time the Great Song Dynasty court was dominated by the peace faction, but now the right prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty is like a road, but it is not necessarily a complete peace faction.

If it weren't for Liu Bingzhong and others mentioning, even if Wu Shaogang couldn't be calculated immediately, it might cause chaos in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Wenqian would not have agreed to this plan.

The time had come, Zhang Wenqian looked at the people standing around him, and spoke slowly.

"The Great Khan has agreed to our plan, the next thing is how to implement it, please go back and think about it, you all know the details of the plan, but I always feel that there are still many incomplete parts of this plan, if we can't fully plan it, once the plan fails, then we will not be able to gain a foothold in the court."

Yan Zhongfan and Dong Wenshan left first, followed by Yao Shu and Zhang Rou.

Those who stayed were Liu Bingzhong and Shi Tianze.

In fact, the final decision on the whole plan is these three people.

The three of them have become the core of the Han ministers, and they rely on their own strength to compete with the left prime minister Ahma and others in the court, and fight for the power that the Han ministers should have.

Many secret discussions, including some words that should not be said, are only said when the three of them are together, and they will never open their mouths when facing other Hanchens.

In the process of gradual union, Zhang Wenqian also showed his talent, making him worthy of the title and reputation of the head of the Han ministers.

Sit down again, already in the study.

The expressions on Zhang Wenqian's face were quite soft, while Liu Bingzhong and Shi Tianze were a little serious.

In fact, Zhang Wenqian was also nervous, but he performed better, probably because he needed to make a show in his mansion.

Zhang Wenqian's emotions interfered with Liu Bingzhong and Shi Tianze, and after drinking a cup of tea, the two gradually relaxed.

"Master Zhang, I don't vomit some things unpleasantly, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Lord Liu, just say whatever you think, this is the three of us, and there are no scruples."

Liu Bingzhong looked at Shi Tianze and gritted his teeth to speak.

"I don't know why, I always think of Wang Wentong these times."

Zhang Wenqian's face also changed slightly.

The name Wang Wentong is the biggest taboo and the biggest pimple of the Han ministers in the court.

Speaking in detail, Wang Wentong did not have any particularly big crimes, Li Pu's rebellion was not Wang Wentong's idea, and the final outcome was that Wang Wentong and his son were beheaded.

In the process of Wang Wentong being killed, even Zhang Wenqian put forward a suggestion that he must be severely punished.

It wasn't until Wang Wentong and his son were beheaded that Zhang Wenqian and others discovered that the situation was wrong.

Since then, the Great Khan Kublai Khan has begun to alienate the Han ministers and reuse the Semu people, and the left prime minister Ahmad took office at that time.

Zhang Wenqian and others originally thought that the righteous act of destroying relatives would make Kublai Khan trust the Han people more, but who knew that it would backfire, and Kublai Khan was very disgusted with this.

Zhang Wenqian and others finally regretted that they had been in the Mongolian court for many years, but they ignored the straightforward character of the Mongols, and the Mongols did not like to calculate, even if they had enmity with each other, they would pick up a duel with a knife and a gun, and win with strength, rather than calculating behind their backs.

Over the years, the Han ministers led by Zhang Wenqian tried every means to fight with Ahmad and other Semu people, but because they did not have the support of Kublai Khan, they were often at a disadvantage.

This time, the rise of Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty in Sichuan, and the imperial armies of Hezhou was a rare opportunity for the Han ministers in the court.

When the three of them reported to the Great Khan Kublai Khan before, the disgusted look of the prince's last brother had already made them unforgettable.

"Lord Liu, if you have any worries, just say it."

"Master Zhang, I'm just worried that when things develop later, we will not follow in the footsteps of Wang Wentong."

The study fell into silence again, and this worry was not only Liu Bingzhong, but also Zhang Wenqian.

The next person to speak was Shi Tianze.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Liu, the Great Khan has agreed to our report, if you hesitate at this time, I am afraid that the result will be even worse, I think it is better to act according to the original plan...

Before Shi Tianze finished speaking, Zhang Wenqian's expression became cold, which made Shi Tianze shut up knowingly.

"Master Shi, what you think is too simple, if the plan is successful, the Great Khan may not be happy, come to the Mongolian court for so many years, is it possible that you still don't understand, the Great Khan hates the calculations in secret, if the plan fails, then let alone someone will impeach us for colluding with the Great Song Dynasty in private, and then we will not end up with Wang Wentong...

Liu Bingzhong's analysis was methodical and reasonable, which made Shi Tianze's face change again.

Zhang Wenqian regained his composure and looked at Liu Bingzhong.

"Lord Liu, then tell me how this matter should be handled."

Hearing Zhang Wenqian's question, Liu Bingzhong's face stiffened, and he opened his mouth without smiling.

"Master Zhang, I really haven't thought about this yet."

This time, Zhang Wenqian spoke with an angry face.

"Lord Liu, I'm afraid the method has been thought of a long time ago, but I don't want to say it, the Mongols in the court, including the Semu people, all think that our Han ministers like to calculate, and they are very careful when they talk to us, and they can't think of the conversation here, we are the same, if we go on according to this situation, what status do we have, how can we compete with the Semu people, I'm afraid that before we have time to resist, there will be many people who will defect to the Semu people...

Zhang Wenqian's reprimand made Liu Bingzhong's face red and white all of a sudden.

Finally, after Zhang Wenqian finished speaking, Liu Bingzhong spoke.

"Lord Zhang, I think that in this matter, we still need to leave a hand, at least we need to leave a way back for ourselves, if the plan is successful, no matter whether there is any reward or not, at least the Great Khan will not have any punishment, but if the plan fails, then we must think of a good way out, you must know that Ahmad and others are eyeing each other, staring at the side tightly, wishing that we have some problems, besides, the prince of the last brother also has a very good opinion of us, and when the time comes, he will say that ours is not in front of the Great Khan. Then we may well die without a place to be buried ... ”

Sweat drops had already appeared on Shi Tianze's forehead, which was caused by nervousness.

Zhang Wenqian's expression has always been calm, and he nodded slightly.

"Lord Liu, what you said is that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, think about the so many things we have done for the Mongolian court, but now we have ended up like this, and we also need to consider the way back, I think, this matter will not be made public, let alone spread in the court, just from the attitude of the last brother, the Great Khan can estimate that if this matter is spread, it will cause a lot of shock, this is our opportunity, we need to plan well, see how to be able to keep a hand...

Zhang Wenqian's voice gradually lowered, and Liu Bingzhong, Shi Tianze and others also joined in.

。。。

The candle on the table was about to be extinguished, and the deliberations were not yet complete.

At this time, Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong, Shi Tianze and others, the expressions on their faces were much soothed, and even with imperceptible smiles, they finally thought of a way to leave a way back for themselves.

The three of them didn't know exactly what all this meant, but the harsh reality forced them to make such a choice, and perhaps in their hearts, they had doubts about whether the Mongol court would be able to dominate the world. (To be continued.) )
