Chapter 356: Political Principles
When Brother Mo arrived in Chengdu, he caused quite a stir in the Yamen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hao Jing used to be the envoy of the Mongolian court, and he still has some understanding of how the Mongolian court should send envoys, and the Mongolian prince will never become an envoy, even in the face of the Great Song Dynasty, he only sent Hao Jing to become an envoy, and although Hao Jing was trusted by Kublai Khan, he was a Han after all.
It is all too rare to send a Mongol prince as an emissary, and it is the prince of Mogo, who has the closest relationship with Kublai Khan.
Brother Mo became the envoy of the Mongolian court, and he came to Chengdu Mansion City, and he actually found Wu Shaogang to discuss related matters, which not only surprised Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Rou, Zhang Hongluo, Zhang Hongfan, Dou Mo and Guo Shoujing, but even Li Tingzhi and Li Siqi and others were also very puzzled.
Wu Shaogang is just the envoy of the Yunchuan Festival, Taifu, although he is already a member of the court, but after all, he is still a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, it is possible that Kublai Khan despised the Great Song Dynasty so much and attached so much importance to Wu Shaogang.
Brother Mo's identity is very special, not only the Mongolian prince whom Kublai Khan trusted the most, but also the uncle of Wu Shaogang's side room Mohe princess Akecha, from this level, Brother Mo is also Wu Shaogang's elder.
Respecting the elderly is a tradition of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also a habit inherited by the Han people.
No matter what the content of the upcoming negotiation is, how to face Brother Mo is what Wu Shaogang needs to consider.
Li Tingzhi and Hao Jing and others almost all have the same attitude, that is, they are neither arrogant nor inferior, although they say that Brother Mo is Wu Shaogang's elder, but they are opponents of each other after all, and Brother Mo came on behalf of the Mongolian court, in this case, the feelings between individuals need to be put aside, and interests are the most important matter.
When Brother Mo came to Chengdu Fucheng, it was at the critical juncture that the Yamen had begun to deploy the specific matters of the strategic and tactical layout of the attack on Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, but at this time, Brother Mo came.
Brother Mo was temporarily placed in Guanyi, and it was Li Tingzhi who came forward to receive Brother Mo.
This is also an unusual specification, Li Tingzhi used to be the official secretary of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was Wu Shaogang's father-in-law.
The matter of Brother Mo's arrival in Chengdu Fucheng was kept strictly secret, except for some officials of the Yamen of the Kaijie Envoy, the rest of the people did not know that when Brother Mo entered the West Road of Lizhou, he was strictly protected by the sergeant and escorted all the way to Chengdu Fucheng.
Wu Shaogang felt that this matter should be told to Akecha, this is a respect for Akecha, and the last brother should also see Akecha, as for what they will talk about between them, whether Wu Shaogang needs to use Akecha to do the work of the last brother, etc., Wu Shaogang has not thought about these matters, once someone said about these matters, Wu Shaogang showed disdain, and no one will continue to mention it.
It has been two days since Brother Mo came to Chengdu Fucheng.
After Wu Shaogang returned to the mansion, he went straight to Akecha's room.
There are still four months before the start of labor, and he has begun to protect his body, and every day according to Lang Zhong's instructions, he moves for a while in the morning and evening, walks slowly, and spends almost the rest of his time in the house, either reading books, or talking to everyone, mainly resting.
Wu Shaogang has already made a decision to tell Kecha about Brother Mo's coming to Chengdu Fucheng, no matter what kind of request Akecha makes, as long as it is not related to political matters, Wu Shaogang will agree.
As soon as Wu Shao entered the house, A Kecha hurriedly stood up, ready to personally fetch water for Wu Shaogang to wash his face.
In the years since he came to Chengdu Fucheng, Akecha has long followed Li Hanwei and others and learned a lot of habits of Han life.
Wu Shaogang grabbed Akecha.
"If you are pregnant with a child, don't move more, according to Lang Zhong's instructions, proper exercise is enough, I will do these things myself, I don't want you to do it."
"Fetching water for her husband is what a concubine should do, and this little thing is not in the way."
Akecha insisted on fetching water for Wu Shaogang, and Wu Shaogang did not refuse, but he always followed Akecha's side, and when Akecha was about to bend down and pick up the wooden basin, Wu Shaogang stopped him and picked up the wooden plate himself.
In fact, there are maids who serve specially by Akcha's side, but Akcha will not ask the maid to do such a thing.
After washing his face, Wu Shaogang sat down, and Akecha stood behind Wu Shaogang, gently helping Wu Shaogang massage with both hands.
"Akocha, there's something I've thought about and I have to tell you, but don't get too excited."
"What is the husband talking about, how can the concubine be excited."
"Brother Mo is here in Chengdu."
Akcha's hand shook suddenly.
Wu Shaogang held Akecha's hand and felt a little cold.
He can understand Akecha's thoughts, so many years have passed, Akecha's side except for the maid Luzhu, there are no other relatives, when he encounters anything, except for finding him Wu Shaogang to confide, there is no other person to talk to, this kind of taste is very uncomfortable, after all, Akecha grew up on the grassland, straightforward by nature, likes to be unrestrained, and suddenly has to adapt to the life of a small jasper, the difficulty can be imagined.
Wu Shaogang gently patted Akecha's hand.
"Prince Mo Ge came to Chengdu Mansion City, as an envoy of the Mongolian court, what will he discuss with me, I don't know yet, I specifically told you about this matter, I want you to be prepared, you must go to see Prince Mo Ge, talk about your hometown, talk about the loneliness and grievances you have suffered over the years, Prince Mo Ge is equivalent to your father, you must not slack off, when Prince Mo Ge is in Chengdu Fucheng, when you want to meet, you can."
Akcha's hand shook again, and his body trembled slightly.
"Don't have any worries, don't feel like there's anything to say and not to say, just say whatever you want."
"Husband, do you want to talk to your uncle about Sichuan and Yunnan?
"Don't think about these things, this is not something you should worry about, you haven't seen your relatives for so many years, in fact, Kublai Khan and the prince of Moge are your relatives, but you chose to stay by my side, I am too late to be grateful, and I will never let you get involved in the disputes between the government and the government, to put it bluntly, you are going to see your uncle who is as close as your father."
"Concubine, thank you, husband."
"No need to write, I should thank you, thank you for staying by my side, do you remember what I said, one day, I will take you to the Mongolian steppe, let you go home to see, it is you who made me realize that the Mongols are not all extremely vicious people, but those who are hungry for power have made some Mongols become demons."
"Will the husband accompany the concubine to see his uncle?"
"Yes, but not now, you also know that the prince of the last brother came to Chengdu as an envoy of the Mongolian court, and the conversation between the prince of the last brother and me will not be very pleasant, and may even lead to conflicts, or you go to see it first, and when the time comes, I will go with you to meet the prince of the last brother."
Wu Shaogang turned around and saw that Akecha had shed tears, he stood up and wiped away Akecha's tears.
Akecha's thoughts, Wu Shaogang knew some, at least in the title just now, he didn't call the last brother uncle, which Akecha must have captured.
At this moment, Wu Shaogang can't have so many children, this signal, he wants to convey it clearly, he must let Akecha understand, take 10,000 steps back and say, although Akecha is the princess of Mohe in Mongolia, but in the final analysis, he is still his Wu Shaogang's woman, which is more important Akecha must be clear.
Kublai Khan sent Prince Moge as an envoy, whether it meant to play the family card, Wu Shaogang did not know, but he himself would never fall into the whirlpool of emotion, even if he loved Akocha very much, but on the issue of principle, he would not give in, this is the strategy that everyone in politics must show.
"Akecha, there are some things I don't say, you also understand, my position is different, I need to consider a lot of things, sometimes in order to be able to do things well, I have to make concessions, this time let you go to see Prince Moge first, you must be wronged, but I hope you can understand, you are my woman, we are one with each other, I need to bear the heavy responsibility, you can also think about it for me."
"The husband doesn't need to say much, the concubine understands."
"Well, it's good to understand, I haven't seen each other for many years, I still have to pay attention to controlling my emotions, don't think about anything other than family affection, so as not to affect my emotions, Prince Mo Ge loves you very much, I can fully feel it, you married me, it should be said that it is a difficult fact for the Mongolian court to accept, okay, don't say much, you prepare, I will send someone to pick you up in a while, go to see Prince Mogo."
Akocha seemed a little at a loss, probably not expecting to see his uncle so soon.
"Akecha, I'll let Luzhu accompany you later, but you remember, don't make a noise about this matter, and don't say it in the mansion, I have my own arrangements."
Half an hour later, Yuan Shichun came to the outside of the mansion and waited for Akecha.
After making some simple preparations, Akecha and Luzhu took two sedan chairs respectively, left the mansion, and headed in the direction of the official post.
Wu Shaogang fell into contemplation.
You must know that the status of Brother Mo in the Mongolian court can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, such a noble identity, he actually came to Chengdu Mansion as an envoy, which shows the importance of Kublai Khan to Sichuan and Yunnan.
Not to mention other aspects, there is one thing that Wu Shaogang expected, that is, Kublai Khan must have thought that Sichuan would be temporarily stable, and the army stationed in Sichuan should not participate in the upcoming war.
Kublai Khan also thought too beautifully, is this possible? (To be continued.) )
