Tong Weihua has become the supreme person in charge of the intelligence network of Dadu, in charge of the entire intelligence network, after experiencing too many things, he is more cautious in doing things, unless it is a major matter, under normal circumstances, he will not come forward in person. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the end of Xianchun's fifth year, Tong Weihua had Zhang Wenqian's letter in his hand, and at the beginning of the sixth year, letters from Liu Bingzhong, Dou Mo, Xu Heng, Zhang Rou and others were also sent to Dadu one after another, but Tong Weihua has not done anything, and the information that can be collected in Dadu is also much less.

Only by staying in Dadu can we understand the danger of the situation, Tong Weihua has already noticed that the management of the capital by the Mongolian court has become very strict, especially for the Han people in the capital, it is even more strictly controlled, which shows that the Mongolian court is alert, perhaps the defection of Zhang Wenqian and others has been supported in the capital.

In such a situation, Tong Weihua is of course focusing on self-preservation.

The opportunity came from Yao Shu coming to the restaurant to eat.

Yao Shu was once one of Kublai Khan's most trusted Han ministers, and made a great contribution to determining the etiquette of the Mongolian court, and was once appointed as the right secretary of the Zhongshu, but unfortunately the power of the Zhongshu Province was in the hands of Ahma, who later became the prime minister of the Mongolian court, but Yao Shu was appointed as the same Zhongshu provincial minister who had no power, and the difference between the two was huge.

Since Kublai Khan succeeded to the Great Khan, the Mongol army was in the midst of conquest all the time, and raising the grain and grass of the army became the most important task, when Kublai Khan's trusted Wang Wentong, and later Ahma, were masters in collecting wealth, they helped Kublai Khan and the Mongol court to collect a large number of taxes, to ensure the cost of the army, so they got Kublai Khan's greater trust, but unfortunately Yao Shu did the opposite.

Yao Shu is focused on the way of governing the country, asking for the reduction of taxes for the people, and the restoration of peace to the people, this proposition, contrary to the practice of Ahmad and others, is not in line with the interests of Kublai Khan and the Mongol court, and naturally will suffer from exclusion, but unfortunately Yao Shu does not know how to be flexible, blindly emphasizing his own understanding, and thus encountering Kublai Khan's alienation and rejection, which is logical.

After many important Han ministers in the Mongolian court returned to the Great Song Dynasty one after another, Yao Shu's life was even more sad, he hardly saw Kublai Khan on weekdays, and there was nothing practical to do.

However, Yao Shu has never had the idea of returning to the Song Dynasty, and he is noncommittal and does not comment on the choices of Liu Bingzhong and Zhang Wenqian, but he still pays attention to it.

It is very appropriate to describe Yao Shu with a self-anesthetized attitude, although Yao Shu is noncommittal to Zhang Wenqian and others, but his behavior of not showing his attitude actually exposes the most secret thoughts in his heart.

There are a lot of restaurants in Dadu, but many of them are places that Mongolian magnates and Semu people like to go, and Yao Shu basically does not set foot in these places, and most of the time, Yao Shu eats at home.

Tong Weihua's restaurant is not the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, but most of the people who eat here are Han people, and there are also a small number of Jurchen and Khitan people, and the Mongols and Semu people are almost invisible.

Later, Yao Shu personally came to the restaurant for dinner. 、

The reason why I came to the restaurant to eat was because Yao Shu's impression of the shopkeeper of the restaurant was still very good.

Originally, Yao Shu, as an official of the Mongolian court, is unlikely to have anything to do with Tong Weihua, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, but unfortunately Yao Shu is also an official who has no power in the court, and he has long been without the scenery of the past, and he has also encountered the estrangement of Kublai Khan and the rejection of Ahma and others.

After getting acquainted, Tong Weihua was still very cautious, observed Yao Shu's words and deeds several times, and only started to act after having a sufficient understanding of himself.

Tong Weihua took advantage of Yao Shu's opportunity to come to dinner alone, accompanied Yao Shu to eat and drink several times, and said some words that seemed quite taboo, although Yao Shu refuted it, but Yao Shu warned Tong Weihua not to continue, so as not to encounter punishment, which made Tong Weihua have a bottom in his heart.

When the opportunity was ripe, Tong Weihua suddenly took out the letters of Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Dou Mo, Xu Heng, Zhang Rou and others, and handed them to Yao Shu, without saying anything.

This time, Yao Shu didn't go to the restaurant for half a month.

Half a month later, Yao Shu came to the restaurant again, again without saying anything, eating and drinking as usual.

At this time, Yao Shu has made a choice in his heart, especially attracted Yao Shu, that is, the Great Song Yunchuan Festival made Wu Shaogang people-oriented thinking, Jingzhaofu Road, Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road and Fengxiang Road and other places are barren, Yao Shu is very clear, he had exhorted Kublai Khan, do not exhaust the fish, Jingzhaofu Road and other places to adopt a gentle policy, but unfortunately not taken seriously, the Mongolian court for Jingzhaofu Road and other places of cruel oppression, so that these places collapsed.

After recovering these places, Wu Shaogang eliminated many difficulties, insisted on stabilizing the people in these places, and even did not hesitate to invest a lot of money, thus ending the continued offensive.

This requires great courage and can only be achieved with a truly people-oriented mindset.

Such ideas and decisions are completely in line with Yao Shu's philosophy, that is to say, the policies and concepts promoted by Wu Shaogang are exactly the governing concepts that Yao Shu has pursued all his life, so how can Yao Shu not be tempted under such circumstances.

Yao Shu, who is close to seventy years old, has seen too much in the long years, and he faintly feels that although Kublai Khan and the Mongol court seem to be extremely powerful, the one who can finally unify the world is probably Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Yunchuan Festival of the Great Song Dynasty.

Good birds choose trees to perch, Yao Shu has passed the age of passion and can make a steady choice.

went to the restaurant to eat, and when he saw Tong Weihua, Yao Shu didn't say anything, silent, and Tong Weihua was also very careful to avoid the word "submission" in his words.

Yao Shu finally made up his mind to return to the Great Song Dynasty, to be precise, to be precise, to return to the Great Song Dynasty's Yunchuan Jiedu envoy Wu Shaogang.

Yao Shu had his own conditions, and after discussing with Tong Weihua in the secret room, he decided to provide Wu Shaogang with a lot of information about the Mongolian court for Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Yunchuan Festival of the Great Song Dynasty, but he would not make any statement in a short period of time.

At the end of the year, when Yao Shu sent intelligence to Tong Weihua again, Tong Weihua took out the documents of the Intelligence Agency and showed them to Yao Shu.

It was also from this time that Yao Shu spoke.

Yao Shu analyzed the situation of the Mongolian court, and at the same time summarized the Han ministers who did things in the Mongolian court, and he recommended Liu Haoli to Tong Weihua, Liu Haoli was also a Han minister in the Mongolian court, and once served as the judge of the five ministries, which were the sphere of influence of Abuligo back then, which was messed up, and after Liu Haoli arrived in these places, he developed agriculture and treated the people well, so that these already extremely withered places slowly developed.

The Mongolian court divided the people under its rule into three, six, nine and so on, and the Han people had the lowest status, which was where Liu Haoli was not satisfied, once because of the disrespect of the words, he was convicted by Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court, if it wasn't for his extraordinary ability, he would have been killed a long time ago, and now Liu Haoli is just an ordinary official in the criminal department, and he has been squeezed to the margins.

Yao Shu knows Liu Haoli's ability, such a person must be able to be reused when he goes to Sichuan.

Yao Shu recommended Liu Haoli, and he also had his own ideas, he wanted to see if Liu Haoli could display his ambitions after he arrived in Sichuan, and whether the situation in Sichuan was really as described by Liu Bingzhong and others.

In mid-December, Liu Haoli resigned from the official position of the Criminal Department, and after returning to his hometown, he left with his family and went to Sichuan.

The following year, Liu Haoli's letter arrived in Dadu and arrived in Yao Shu's hands.

Yao Shu recommended Liu Haoli, but did not mention Shi Tianze.

Yao Shu and Shi Tianze are familiar, but the relationship is not particularly close, when analyzing the Han ministers in the Mongolian court, Yao Shu pointed to Shi Tianze, but did not say much, or Tong Weihua directly asked Shi Tianze's situation, Yao Shu said, I dare not guarantee that Shi Tianze can sincerely return to the Song Dynasty.

Yao Shu believes that Shi Tianze is a military general, and what he values most is the strength of the army, the courage of the Mongolian iron cavalry, everyone knows that the Song army stationed in Sichuan, although it is said that the strength of the Mongolian army has been defeated many times, is also very good, but the Mongolian court generally believes that the Song army stationed in Sichuan is by no means the opponent of the Mongolian iron cavalry.

If you want to make people like Shi Tianze submit, the best way is to prove the true strength of the Song army stationed in Sichuan, that is to say, if the Song army stationed in Sichuan can defeat the Mongolian iron cavalry face to face, then many Han ministers in the Mongolian court will sincerely belong to the Sichuan side and serve the Sichuan side.

Yao Shu's analysis was quickly sorted out and sent to Sichuan, and Wu Shaogang, who was leading the army to Henan Road to conquer, saw this information, and agreed very much, and also thought that Yao Shu's ability was indeed very good. (To be continued.) )
