Chapter 407: The Heart Has a Soul
The silence above the hall was terrifying, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's thunderous fury. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The end of the brother's twists and turns has been sent to the imperial court, such a tragic failure, is the Great Yuan court has never experienced, the emperor sent two princes, trying to stabilize the situation on Henan Road, but the end is like this.
Nearly 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, including the most elite 5,000 heavy cavalry, was so lost, and seeing that Kaifeng Mansion could not be saved, once Kaifeng Mansion was lost, the entire Central Plains would not be able to calm down, and even most of them would be threatened.
No one thought that the emperor had always been very calm, without a trace of anger, but he was often distracted, not knowing what he was thinking, and the people below did not dare to ask.
The emperor chose to announce the news at the time of the court meeting, which required courage, and it also proved that the emperor had carefully thought about it, you must know that the people who participated in the court meeting included Han Chinese, Jurchens and Khitans, etc., and even ministers from the Western Regions.
Yao Shu has always kept his head down, no one will notice him, as the chief farmer in the court, Yao Shu can no longer manage any important matters, every day in the Ministry of Industry, worry about those things that people don't like to do, now is the time for conquest, agriculture and water conservancy is not the focus of the court, and the emperor will not care.
Yao Shu's heart set off a huge wave, he was still worried, it seems that the imperial court has made up its mind, must eliminate the threat of Sichuan, and sent two princes, Moge and Habichi, to lead an army of 80,000 to encircle and suppress, that Wu Shaogang is also, what are you doing attacking Henan Road at this time, isn't it looking for something to do.
But the result turned out to be like this, Brother Mo and Ha Bichi were defeated, not only the Henan Road was lost, but then Kaifeng Mansion was also in danger, as long as Wu Shaogang was willing to lead the Song army to attack, he would be able to capture Kaifeng Mansion immediately.
It seems that the choice of Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Zhang Rou and others was completely correct, they nominally submitted to the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact went to Sichuan and submitted to Wu Shaogang.
Yao Shu was also a little depressed, and he didn't know when he would be able to go to Sichuan.
"The twists and turns of the last brother brother are a bolt from the blue for me, since I succeeded to the throne, I have never suffered such a major defeat, and my Great Yuan Dynasty has never suffered such a major defeat, which is a big blow to me and the imperial court."
"You all think that I will be furious, will punish the Moge brothers and the Habichi brothers, and even personally lead the army to Henan Road and Kaifeng Mansion to conquer, after all, the Central Plains is the reliance of my Great Yuan Dynasty, and there can be no accidents."
"At this time, I don't want to hide it from you, Haidu in Mobei is ready to move, and he is thinking of sending troops at any time, and my brother Hülegü also chose to support Haidu, and wrote to reprimand me, saying that I was sinicized and excluded the Mongols."
"What can I do, whether to lead a large army and desperately conquer Mobei and Sichuan, or to find a way to deal with the current situation, can you give me a good answer?"
Kublai Khan looked at Tachar, who was standing in front.
After Moge and Hedan and other princes left the capital, Tachar became the top prince.
Tachar looked up at the emperor and twisted his somewhat stiff neck.
Kublai Khan has always looked at Tachar, and he does have some anger in his heart, but he doesn't want to vent it.
Seeing that he couldn't stand it, Tachar hesitated to speak.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops and go to Henan Road to conquer. . . ."
Kublai Khan's face suddenly appeared with anger, but the anger quickly disappeared, and he waved his hand irritably, interrupting Tachar, who was still trying to continue.
"Brother Tachar, you have been on expeditions abroad all the year round, won a lot of victories, and made a lot of contributions to the court, but you also have to be familiar with the affairs of the court, you are all a little jealous of Brother Mo, but above this court, you are not as good as Brother Mo, if Brother Moge speaks, he will definitely not say like you."
Kublai Khan's words were not serious, but they made a cold sweat break out on Tachar's forehead.
"Didn't you find a problem, that is, Wu Shaogang, who had already won a big victory, did not attack Kaifeng Mansion."
Speaking of this, Kublai Khan's voice suddenly raised.
"What is the place of Kaifeng Mansion City, it is the former capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Shaogang is fully capable of capturing Kaifeng Mansion City and recovering the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but he did not do this, the last brother brothers' twists and turns are very clear, the army stationed in Kaifeng Mansion is no longer able to resist the attack of the Song army."
Speaking of this, Kublai Khan's eyes began to search for the Han ministers.
It's a pity that he was disappointed, Yao Shu, who was standing at the back, and Kublai Khan also saw it, but he was impatient with the so-called Huairou strategies put forward by Yao Shu, and in terms of power schemes, Yao Shu was not as good as Liu Bingzhong and Zhang Wenqian and others.
If you want to analyze this matter, it is either Brother Mo, or the former Han ministers in the court.
Ahmad was unable to make an analysis.
Kublai Khan sighed heavily, waved his hand, and signaled to disperse.
The next day, a carriage came to the outside of the palace, and the driver of the carriage took out a jade plaque, and the palace guards quickly appeared and entered the palace with the carriage.
Kublai Khan was in the warm pavilion next to the main hall, and after hearing the report of the guard, a smile appeared on his face.
Soon, an old man with a white beard appeared in the warm pavilion.
"The people of the mountains and the wilderness meet the emperor."
"Wang Hanlin, don't be polite, I once said that I always have to ask for your opinion on big things, you can take a look at these twists and turns, and after reading them, tell me your opinion."
Wang E, once served as a scholar of the Mongolian court, to the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the fourth year of Xianchun, mainly because of the discord with Ahmad and others, unwilling to continue to stay in the court, Kublai Khan specially decreed, allowed Wang E to continue to supply Yulu, all major matters in the court, can be asked at any time.
Wang E, who is in this matter, is already an eighty-one-year-old old man, who has experienced a lot of wind and frost and has seen through many things.
Wang E didn't excuse himself, after sitting down, he began to look at the recital carefully, after all, he was old, Wang E looked very slowly, thinking about something while watching, Kublai Khan didn't urge, and sat quietly on the side.
This scene looks particularly warm, but unfortunately such a scene has not appeared for many years, and if it were not for a major setback, Kublai Khan would not have done so.
More than half an hour passed, and Wang E finally put down the fold in his hand.
"Wang Hanlin, just say whatever comes to mind, I just want to listen to your advice."
Although he has already given a minister, Wang E, who lives in Dadu, still knows a lot of things in the court, and he is noncommittal to Liu Bingzhong, Hao Jing, Zhang Wenqian and others to submit to the Great Song Dynasty, but he will never do so, and he is powerless to attack and exclude the Han ministers of Ahma, who is in power, and his words have no effect.
Wang E, who is over eighty years old, knows that his time is running out and hopes to be calm.
At the end of last year, Wang E played a major event to please, that is, begging the emperor to change the name of the country, no one knew about this matter, the reason why Wang E suggested changing the name of the country was that he thought that the Great Mongolia, which sounded like the country of the Mongols, had little to do with other people, so the limitations were too great, which was not conducive to future expansion.
Kublai Khan adopted Wang E's suggestion and changed the name of the country to Dayuan.
Now, once again, at a critical juncture, Kublai Khan wanted to hear Wang E's advice.
After Kublai Khan spoke, Wang E stood up and saluted Kublai Khan.
"People in the mountains and wilderness, if you don't listen to what you say, please ask the emperor for forgiveness."
"I ask you to tell me, what is the crime, what do you think, just say, there are only me and you in the warm pavilion, and there is no one else."
Wang E no longer hesitated, and slowly spoke.
"The Great Song Dynasty is not afraid, Mobei is just scabies, and Wu Shao is the real threat to the Great Yuan Dynasty just now."
When Wang E said this, Kublai Khan's face became soothed, and it was also a pleasure to be able to have a bosom friend, it was too lonely to be the emperor, and few people could experience the taste of being cold in a high place.
"For today's plan, the only way to break through Xiangyang first and let the Great Song Dynasty collapse is to temporarily befriend Wu Shaogang in the west and meet all the conditions put forward by him, Mobei must closely monitor Haidu and others, Prince Hulegu is the emperor's brother, and the brotherhood is still there, as long as the emperor moves people with emotion, Prince Hulegu will not have other actions...
Kublai Khan's face became calm.
"Could it be that I just look at Wu Shaogang, the biggest threat?"
"The emperor should do this, Wu Shaogang did not directly attack Kaifeng Fucheng, in fact, it is already for the emperor to step down, if the Song army attacks and captures Kaifeng Fucheng, then the emperor has no way to retreat, must send a large army into Henan to conquer, I have not contacted Wu Shaogang in the next person, I heard that this person is unusually young, there was an adventure in his youth, but what Wu Shaogang did in the area of Henan Road is not simple."
Kublai Khan snorted and did not continue to speak.
"The focus of the Great Yuan Dynasty is still Xiangyang Mansion City, once Xiangyang Mansion City is captured, the Great Song Dynasty Court is not afraid, if it continues to fight on two fronts at this moment, the Imperial Court may be able to support it, but if there is a disaster in Mobei, I don't know how the emperor should deal with it."
These words spoken by Wang E made Kublai Khan's face really change.
Haidu and others have always taken advantage of the fire to rob, even if the imperial court blocks all the news to them, but Wu Shaogang in Sichuan, if he has the heart, can spread the news to Mobei, or some people in the court with ill intentions will also send news to Mobei.
When he really encountered a three-way attack, Kublai Khan could not hold out for a long time.
Anything can happen when the time comes.
Kublai Khan finally began to meditate again.
Wang E also sat quietly and waited, not saying a word.
When Kublai Khan looked up again, he looked at Wang E.
"Wang Hanlin, you are my minister of humerus." (To be continued.) )
