Chapter 116 Related Matters

Weddings on the grassland are not as complicated as those of the Han Chinese, and a grand bonfire dinner is all that is needed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 A few days later, it was the auspicious day of the zodiac personally selected by Liu Dingchen, and Liu Dingchen and Aya held a grand wedding. The reason why it is grand is not only because of the special status of the two, but also because it is not just an ordinary wedding, it carries more political colors.

When the banquet was carried out, the first was to worship the heavens and ancestors, such a ritual was also extremely important in the eyes of the Mongolians, in order to accommodate Aya, but also to conform to the current overall situation, Liu Dingchen still insisted on the customs of the Mongolians. After worshipping the ancestors, it should be time to thank the elders and ask for blessings. Liu Dingchen, the left minister, was alone, he was already alone before coming to the Chiti Department, his parents died early, and after walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, relatives such as seven aunts and eight aunts have gradually become estranged. Even if Liu Dingchen is now the left minister of the Hechi Ti Ministry, he has not seen his relatives come to defect, probably because the Hechi Ti Department is not famous or has indeed been estranged for too long.

Since he has no relatives, then Burhan, as the sovereign, is Liu Dingchen's sovereign father, so he can also come to make a cameo appearance as an elder, and how happy it is to be blessed by the sovereign. Of course, on the one hand, the Queen Mother Yang Caini, as Aya's sister, is originally an elder, and on the other hand, she is also the matchmaker of the two, coupled with her status, I really can't think of anyone else who could be more suitable besides her?

Liu Dingchen was full of joy and took Aya's hand to come to Burhan and Yang Caini, and said respectfully to the elders: "Minister Liu Dingchen and his wife Aya thanked the Great Khan and the Queen Mother, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's connection, the Great Khan's fulfillment, the minister might have missed such a good wife." Saying that, the two couldn't help but show their affection, and that feeling was sour.

I was happy today, even Yang Caini, who doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, drank a few more glasses, and her cheeks were already crimson at this time, but she still couldn't hide her happy mood.

It's time to bless the couple.

"Get up! Don't keep kneeling, it's weird cold on the ground. The Queen Mother said this, and both of them got up, although it was a little rude to Burhan, but the Great Khan didn't mind, did he?

"The mourning family doesn't say much, Sister Aya will be a good wife, I hope you can treat her well, she is also a hard-working person." After Yang Caini finished speaking, Aya cried. She was indeed a hard-working person, and when she was a child, she had no worries about food and clothing, and it was all an illusion, and when she came out beautiful, generous, mature and elegant, she was given to Murgen Khan Erek as a kind of trading goods. I thought my life was stable, but I didn't want Erek to be murdered. Once again, she was traded as goods to the Hechi Ti Ministry, and although this time there was her own will, you can imagine how she felt at the time. Fortunately, she has ** who will eventually become a family, and being able to marry her sweetheart is her greatest satisfaction. The reason why she cried today was not a memory of the ill-fated past, but a prospect of happiness in the future.

Liu Dingchen hugged his wife tightly in his arms, and said solemnly, "Please rest assured that the Queen Mother and the Great Khan, the minister hereby swears that he will live up to Aya in this life, and if he wants to violate his oath, he is willing to suffer the five tribulations of heaven and thunder." ā€

Han people just love to swear, but this also gives people a sense of trust. Aya didn't forget to cover her husband's mouth when she was moved, it would be good to know such a vow, and it would be fulfilled if she said it.

Of course, the good day should be happy, Yang Caini said again, "The mourning family wishes you to grow old together, and the most important thing is to give birth to a noble son early." ā€

Aya burst into tears and laughed after hearing this, and said shyly, "Sister! What are you talking about? ā€

They couldn't stand it anymore, so they hurriedly said, "Send the newcomer into the cave room!" "Burhan will make a fuss, but there are not many opportunities like this, Zaduro has a child's heart, and the children of Chinasi have to play this bull's nose well.

On the whole, the wedding was a success, the night was already dark, the guests were almost gone under the hint of Burhan, and those who stayed did not dare to make trouble, but only used to sweep the tail.

Aya and Liu Dingchen, the newlyweds, still have a lot to say. In their new house, Liu Dingchen and Aya sat hugging each other, and Liu Dingchen was still a little shy.

"Ahh Friendship! Thank you for not disliking me, for being willing to marry me as a bad old man, and for being willing to get along with me, I really can't express it in words. ā€

"Husband! It's already deep, let's rest! Aya deliberately interrupted Liu Dingchen's words, she didn't want such a beautiful scenery to become a meeting to complain and reminisce.

Although the night view is beautiful, it is not as attractive as Aya, and the next thing can be imagined.

The next morning, Liu Dingchen got up early in the morning, but he was still an hour later than the others. Stepping into the Qinzheng Palace, these ministers were shocked that Liu Dingchen was actually full of red light and lofty spirit today. Even walking is different from others, as if he has suddenly become ten years younger.

Seeing this shape, Zaduluo couldn't help but play Liu Dingchen again.

"Hey, hey! Gee! Zaduro deliberately stretched his tone and kept wandering his eyes on Liu Dingchen, seeing that he was uncomfortable, thinking that something was wrong with his clothes. It won't be in a hurry today, sticking Aya's personal belongings, right? Weakness of heart makes people make mistakes, Liu Dingchen kept turning in circles under Zaduluo's gaze, looking back at the front and back of him, and he didn't find anything suspicious!

"Tsk! I said bullnose! Looking at you like this today, it looks like you had a good time yesterday! You have to take it easy! ā€

After Zaduluo finished saying this, a group of upstarts around him surrounded Liu Dingchen and made fun of him, and only then did he understand Zaduluo's intentions.

It is said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and in the face of Zaduluo's group of boys, Liu Dingchen just smiled.

Burhan has come out, it should be early, and Zaduro and the others dare not be presumptuous anymore. Burhan sat on the dragon chair dignifiedly, he also noticed the change in Liu Dingchen, and said with a casual smile:

"Zuo Xiang, is it early today? Why are you in such a hurry to attend the court meeting? Don't be bitter newcomer, do you want Ben Khan to let you get married for a few days? ā€

This was obviously a remark arranged by Burhan, which attracted the coaxing of the ministers, especially the Zaduro people, who instigated the most happily.

This is not the first time he has been used as a joke, even the Great Khan is like this, and there are old friends he hasn't seen yet, is this still necessary? But Liu Dingchen has his own way. I saw him respectfully bow to Burhan and say:

"Where? The minister also has to thank the Great Khan and the Queen Mother for their success, so the minister does not dare to abolish the public for personal reasons. Liu Dingchen didn't blush at all when he spoke, he was like an arrogant rooster just now, but now he is serious again, which is really boring.

"That's it! I don't play with you anymore, it's not fun at all, and I still have business to discuss today. ā€

Finally, there was an opportunity for Liu Dingchen to spoil the atmosphere, so he could only deal with government affairs as soon as possible.

It is already a necessary national policy to help Gunbu and the others, and the problem to be solved today is a specific matter, so this meeting has become a closed-door meeting within the Hechiti Ministry, and Gunbu and the others have no right to participate.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and then Liu Dingchen took the lead in speaking. This puzzled the ministers, shouldn't the newlyweds keep a low profile? But I heard Liu Dingchen say loudly:

"Great Khan! The help of the cloth is already a certainty, but there are still some details that need to be sorted out, and the minister has a few proposals for the Great Khan to refer to. As he spoke, he raised the music in his hand high, and his own attendant took the music and handed it to Burhan, who roughly flipped a few pages and left it in the middle, listening to Liu Dingchen's detailed explanation.

The other courtiers also pricked up their ears and listened attentively. "Great Khan!" Liu Dingchen saluted respectfully and said, "Great Khan! In recent years, the power of the Hechiti tribe has risen greatly, but it has not obtained a position commensurate with its strength. The timely statement will not only enhance the status of the Hechiti tribe, but also strengthen our voice in dealing with the affairs of the steppe tribes. Therefore, the minister proposed to kill the envoy of the Khalkani. ā€

"What?" As soon as Liu Dingchen said this, he was shocked. The newlywed didn't let him put down the butcher's knife, so he couldn't wait to move the knife at the messenger. Besides, if the two countries do not fight each other, how can Liu Dingchen disregard the righteousness like this? Burhan knew that he must have a reason for saying this, but he might as well listen to it, after all, the decision-making power is still in his own hands.

Sure enough, in the face of the doubts of the nobles, Liu Dingchen replied, "There are two benefits to killing the envoy. First, killing the Khalkani envoy can appease Gunbu. Although Gunbu openly controlled an army of 200,000, in fact it only appeared to be 1670,000. The Gunbu army is divided into three categories: about 1120,000 descendants from the right-wing army, which is also the foundation of Gunbu and others. The left wing army of 30,000, this is the Khalkani family, but now they dare not move, and it is also the first-line advantage in the hands of Gunbu. In addition, there were about 20,000 soldiers from the surrounding vassal tribes. In order to win over these tribes, the 20,000 horses will inevitably return them to their own formation, so in fact, the total number of troops that Gunbu can really use is about 100,000. If we can't make a statement immediately, then it is very likely that Gunbu will collapse in the face of pressure from the Dzungar and Tushetu Khans. Therefore, an early statement can appease Gunbu, but also urge him to move forward, and better threaten the rule of the Khalkani. ā€

Liu Dingchen said this, and everyone's eyes suddenly opened. That's right, killing the emissary would mean a complete break with the Khalkani, which is indeed the most straightforward way.

Liu Dingchen also said that this second benefit. "The second advantage: killing the envoy means a complete break with the Khalkani, and it is also to tell him that Gunbu is not fighting alone, so that he will always feel the threat of our Hechiti tribe on his belly and back, and he cannot attack Gunbu with all his strength."

Before Liu Dingchen finished speaking, Batu Bagen echoed, "It's a good plan to kill two birds with one stone." It not only puts pressure on the Karkani to make him fearful, but also invisibly reduces the pressure on Gunbu. I believe that even if we don't send a single soldier to the Red Army, Khalkani will feel that there will be rumors everywhere, and he will not be able to live in fear. Wonderful! Wonderful! It's wonderful! The left minister is worthy of being the left minister, and the lower officials admire it. ā€

Batu Bagen did not hide his respect for Liu Dingchen at this time, and those three wonderful words alone were a great tribute to this plan.

Burhan squinted at Batu Bagan, as if to say, "This damn Batu Bagan stole my words." "However, the ministers are all discussing the two suggestions of the left minister, and who is busy with it, and who notices the color of Burhan?

Liu Dingchen, the left minister, is worthy of being a scheming person, and he clearly explained the pros and cons of the whole thing in just a few words. However, Burhan just read the recital, and it seems that you have more than this one piece of advice, so what is the brilliance of the other opinions? Burhan couldn't help but look at Liu Dingchen, and Liu Dingchen also noticed this, and said respectfully and loudly:

"Great Khan! The minister mentioned in the recital that this killing messenger is only one of them, and the other is: cut off the grain route! ā€

These words came out of Liu Dingchen's mouth, and everyone felt no stranger. The Hechiti tribe has been using grain to manipulate the surrounding tribes for many years. In the past few years, the Hechiti tribe began to use blood sausages, dried meat, cheese and other foods, and exchanged a large number of livestock and slaves from other tribes in the harsh winter season when food was extremely scarce, which not only strengthened the Hechiti tribe but also greatly weakened the surrounding tribes. More recently, the war between the Dzungar Ministry and the Tushetu Khan Department was also the Hechiti Department secretly using food to control the two wars, otherwise this war would not have been able to last for so long. Now it's good, Liu Dingchen proposed that the Hechi Ti Department pick up this sharp weapon again, will it be good? Let's hear how he works!

Liu Dingchen carefully pondered the reaction of Burhan and the ministers, Burhan was fine, and the ministers seemed to be a little worried. You can't blame them, whoever let this idea is about to be used up, it's normal to worry.

Liu Dingchen said: "The cut off of the grain road that the minister said is not completely cut off, but it seems to be cut off. Now that I, the Hechiti Division, have decided to help Gunbu and break with the Khalkani. Then, it is no longer possible to feed the Khalkani as usual. However, if the food supply to the Khalkani were completely cut off, it would be a matter of time before the Khalkani were defeated. This is not in the interests of our Hechi Ti Ministry, and we are happy to see a lose-lose situation rather than a single company. Therefore, it is necessary to provide food supplies to the Khalkani, and our Hechiti Ministry cannot do so. ā€

You're not talking nonsense! That's what many ministers think. If the cutting off of the grain route is to win over Gunbu and help him, then the Hechi Ti tribe naturally can't make eye contact with the Khalkhani. So you've said so much, is there a specific way?

Burhan was not as short-sighted as the ministers, he was a great khan, and of course he had to look further afield, so that it would be easier to make decisions. I saw that Burhan said thoughtfully:

"It's easy to do! Ben Khan has a friend in Ningxia Town called Pixiu, who is the son of Liu Xingyi, the eunuch of Ningxia Town. We can trade with the Khalkani through his hands, and the profits will be divided equally. "Burhan will never give up such a good opportunity to kill Khalkhani.

Liu Dingchen nodded with satisfaction after hearing what Burhan said. "Great Khan! That's what the minister also means! The two of them laughed heartily. Burhan even threatened:

"With the good strategy of the left minister, within two years, I will be able to step on the soil and conquer the grassland." Saying that, Bourhan's eyes moistened at this moment, and he looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Once upon a time, a large part of the Tushetu Khan was something we looked up to, out of reach. But now, they are being toyed with by my Hechiti tribe. Today, a momentary conversation between you and my monarch and minister can determine their future life and death. Yes! After calming down his excitement, Burhan said, "Father! Did you see that? Burkand has come this far today, not far from the heyday of Genghis Khan! Not far away! ā€

Burhan's declaration deeply infected all the ministers and nobles present, and Liu Dingchen took the lead in kneeling on the ground, shouting, "The ministers will do their best to assist the Great Khan and recast the hegemony!" ā€

There was a chill in everyone's hearts, this Liu Dingchen is really good at seizing the opportunity. However, they also followed suit and shouted, "The ministers will do their best to assist the Great Khan and recast the hegemony!" ā€

"Haha!" That's what Burhan wanted, and he looked around with open arms, enjoying it in his heart.
