Chapter 248: A Belated Calculation (2)

Kublai Khan finally decided to discuss the matter of Chengdu Fulu in the early dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Kublai Khan and Moge have already made a decision, and there is no need to take it to the court meeting to discuss, and Kublai Khan is different from the emperor of the Han people, he is not used to using the early dynasty to discuss matters, and everything is discussed and decided after the court meeting or on weekdays, so many times, the so-called deliberations of the early dynasty are just decorations.

This time, however, Kublai Khan seems to have made up his mind, asking many civil and military ministers to seriously discuss the affairs of Chengdu Fulu in the early dynasty, and to put forward practical suggestions.

This caused quite a stir in the court, some people thought that this move was unnecessary, most of them were Mongols and Semu people, and some people were overjoyed and thought that the opportunity had come, and most of them were Han ministers.

The night before the morning pilgrimage.

In front of a good-looking yurt, there are several horses tied to the outside.

This is the residence of Shi Tianze, the right prime minister of Mongolia.

Although Kaiping City is the capital of the Mongolian Kingdom, but because it is in the grassland, it is completely different from the capital city in the south, there are yurts everywhere, there are not many brick houses, and the Mongolians are accustomed to a nomadic life, and they live in yurts.

It's just that Kaiping City, as the capital, is built in an orderly manner, and the streets and alleys are also revealed between the yurts.

The magnates of the Mongol dynasty all lived in Jinting, that is, to the south of the Mongol court, and the army belonging to the imperial court was stationed on the periphery to protect the safety of the forest at all times.

The Han ministers of the Mongol court also lived in the south, but their yurts were almost always in the periphery of the south, and it was impossible to occupy the core position.

The yurts of Zhang Wenqian, Yao Shu, Liu Bingzhong, Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou and Xu Heng are not very far away.

What is rare is that on this night, most of the powerful Han ministers in the court and the central government gathered in Shi Tianze's yurt.

In any case, Shi Tianze is the right prime minister of the Mongolian court and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and this status makes him an ordinary status among the Han ministers, but he is not as good as Kublai Khan's most trusted Han minister Zhang Wenqian.

This night, that is, Zhang Wenqian, and several Han ministers who were very close to Zhang Wenqian did not come.

When everyone came to Shi Tianze's yurt, what they did was one thing, tomorrow morning, to discuss the matter of Chengdu Fu Road.

However, Shi Tianze would not be so stupid, discussing the affairs of Chengdu Fulu in front of many Han ministers, so in his yurt, there was wine and food, and the people who came were invited to take a seat, drink and eat, and talk about nothing.

Many people who are interested in it have said goodbye after eating.

When it was time to unitary, only Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Rou and Xu Heng were left.

There was a sergeant's handle outside the yurt, and it was impossible for ordinary people to enter, and at this time, the matter of the next morning's court finally began to be discussed.

Liu Bingzhong supported Zhang Rou to go to Chengdu Fulu, but Xu Heng had a different view, thinking that after Liu Heima died of illness, it was difficult for the Han people to serve as the military and horse envoy of Chengdu Fulu, and the reason why Liu Yuanzhen was able to hold this position for a short time was just that Kublai Khan saw Liu Heima's face, and this time Liu Yuanzhen lost the city of Chengdu, and the Han people were even more unlikely to be trusted and become a prince.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't have to argue, over the years, we have lost too many opportunities because of too much argumentation, this time there is a rare opportunity, we can't lose it in vain, Brother Xu, your analysis is very reasonable, maybe the Great Khan will send others to serve as the envoy of the Chengdu Mansion Road Army, but we still need to fight for it, if we don't put on the posture we should have, then we won't get anything."

Liu Bingzhong's words are reasonable, and now the status of Han ministers is becoming more and more marginalized.

Xu Heng looked at Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze, and spoke coldly.

"It's not that I'm willing to take the bull, Wang Wentong's matter, you won't forget it, that is, after this incident, the status of the Han ministers in the DPRK and China has taken a sharp turn, and we have lost the trust of the Great Khan, if it is such a critical moment, we once again try to plot the position of the Chengdu Mansion Road Army and Horse Envoy, who knows what the Great Khan will think."

The yurt was instantly quiet, and Wang Wentong's matter was the heart disease of many Han ministers.

After a long while, Shi Tianze spoke.

"What Brother Xu said makes sense, if we forcibly fight in front of the Great Khan, there will definitely be no good results, so think about it and don't be too impulsive."

Liu Bingzhong's face was helpless, and Zhang Rou's face was unwilling.

The two have also experienced a lot of things, and they know that what Xu Heng said makes sense, and Shi Tianze agrees with what Xu Heng said, so the two of them don't have much to say.

Next, let's talk about Liu Yuanzhen.

I don't know why, although Liu Yuanzhen is also a Han, all the Han ministers in the court did not regard him as a Han, which probably stems from Liu Heima, after all, the deceased Liu Heima was posthumously recognized as a Mongol by the Great Khan Kublai Khan, but more reason, it is Liu Yuanzhen's arrogance and arrogance to regard himself as a Mongol.

It is precisely for this reason that Liu Yuanzhen can hardly get the support of the Han ministers in the court, what he can get is calculation, if it were not for Kublai Khan thinking of the deceased Liu Heima, and his trust in Liu Yuanzhen, I am afraid that Liu Yuanzhen's fate would not be much better than Wang Wentong.

But this time it was different, Liu Yuanzhen made a big mistake, and many Han ministers had to calculate.

Speaking of the mistakes Liu Yuanzhen has made, as long as he is a general on the battlefield, he has made such mistakes, and no one dares to guarantee victory in a hundred battles, the most obvious is Shi Tianze, who lost the battle in Huaibei and lost his troops.

If someone helped Liu Yuanzhen say a few good words in front of Kublai Khan, maybe nothing happened, but Liu Yuanzhen did not continue to serve as the military envoy of the Chengdu Prefecture, but returned to the imperial court and became a high-ranking official.

But now it is impossible, from Kublai Khan's situation, anyone can make a judgment, that is, Kublai Khan will not tolerate Liu Yuanzhen's mistake this time, otherwise Kublai Khan will not ask everyone to discuss this matter in the early court.

And calculating Liu Yuanzhen and falling into the well has become the decision of almost all Han ministers.

Except for Zhang Wenqian, who has not yet expressed his position, many Han ministers, including Yao Shu, have made up their minds to impeach Liu Yuanzhen in the early dynasty.

Perhaps because he felt that it was difficult to serve as the military envoy of Chengdu Fulu, Zhang Rou's face was not good-looking, and he also superimposed his anger on Liu Yuanzhen's head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think Liu Yuanzhen is really hateful, he has betrayed the trust of the Great Khan, as the envoy of the Chengdu Fulu Army, he can't hold the Chengdu Fucheng, and let the weak Song army occupy the Fucheng, I even suspect that Liu Yuanzhen did not guard the Chengdu Fucheng well at all, which will lead to the occupation of the Song army. . . ."

Before Zhang Rou finished speaking, everyone's faces changed.

Liu Yuanzhen can't run away from the crime of defending the land and failing to take responsibility, but according to Zhang Rou's statement, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of Litong Da Song here, if such a crime is placed, Liu Yuanzhen should not think that he can live, and his family will definitely be severely punished.

This is too much, think about Wang Wentong at the beginning, isn't it because of such a crime, as a result, the father and son were beheaded by the Great Khan, and after this incident, the status of the Han ministers in the court also plummeted.

After a long while, Shi Tianze hesitated to speak.

"Liu Yuanzhen is indeed at fault, but the crime is not death, if the Great Khan suspects that he secretly colluded with the Great Song Dynasty, then the crime is not ordinary, no matter what, Liu Yuanzhen is a Han Chinese, if such a person appears again among our Han people, I don't know what the Great Khan will think."

As soon as Shi Tianze finished speaking, Xu Heng followed and spoke.

"General Zhang, don't have such thoughts, think about Liu Yuanzhen's father, Liu Heima, who has the complete trust of the Great Khan, if it is said that in such a short time, Liu Yuanzhen betrayed the Great Khan, I am afraid that no one can believe it, such words should not be mentioned, if we don't make it good, we will be burned."

After Xu Heng finished speaking, even Liu Bingzhong followed suit.

"What Brother Shi and Brother Xu said is very true, General Zhang, don't have such thoughts."

Zhang Rou could only nod helplessly, although among the Han generals in the court, Zhang Rou was second to none, but in front of many civil officials, he was still restrained, and in the Jin State, the status of civil servants was not ordinary.

Seeing Zhang Rou's attitude soften, Xu Heng then spoke.

"Liu Yuanzhen was not able to defend the Chengdu Mansion Road, but also lost the Chengdu Mansion City, this crime is not small, it seems that the Great Khan is extremely angry this time, and will not forgive Liu Yuanzhen, tomorrow morning, as long as we reprimand Liu Yuanzhen for betraying the trust of the Great Khan and failing to protect the reputation of the deceased father, then everything will be decided."

。。。

The deliberations began again, but by this time the voices of the people were already very small.

The next morning, it was really lively, and Kublai Khan also had enough patience and listened to many opinions and suggestions.

Most of the people who put forward opinions and suggestions were Han ministers, many Mongolian ministers, and Semu people, who didn't seem to have much interest in this matter, and even Zuo Prime Minister Ahma didn't say anything.

Among the Han ministers, there were no opinions, as well as Zhang Wenqian and Yao Shu.

After the end of the early dynasty, only two hours later, Kublai Khan's edict came down.

With the Mongolian prince Claw as the commander, and the Mongolian 10,000 households chief Wuliang Hetai and the marshal Zhang Rou as the deputy marshal, 50,000 troops were dispatched to conquer Chengdu Fulu, and Liu Yuanzhen was dismissed from the post of military and horse envoy of Chengdu Fulu.

This paper edict did not cause much turmoil, many people think it is normal, but Zhang Rou, who was appointed as the deputy marshal, once again filled with hope in his heart, he knew that it was impossible for the prince to concurrently serve as the military and horse envoy of Chengdu Fulu, so he would still have a chance.
