Song Yichang and Hao Jing could only agree, both of them came to Mobei for the first time, and they were not very familiar with the rules of Mobei. Everything can only be arranged by Kublai Khan.

At this time, nine long and solemn sounds of Hu Ji came from the Wan'an Palace.

The crowd was in an uproar, and all the chatters rushed over to the exit of the front hall. The Jade Dian Chi (the guards of the Cowardly Xue Army) shouted loudly, forming a blockade with spears to prevent anyone from approaching the gate.

At this time, with a squeak, the vermilion door with copper nails slowly pushed open, and hundreds of Huo'er Chi (the arrowhead warriors of the cowardly Xue army) dressed in bright Mongolian robes and shining armor carried huge quivers on their backs, and slender horn bows hung from their waists, standing in four neat rows on both sides of the royal road, and shouted in a neat voice: "The envoys of various countries are coming to see you in order!" ”

The voices of hundreds of people resounded through half of the city, and in an instant, everyone in the hall in front of the gate fell silent. A veteran wearing white feather armor and white beard stood in front of the main hall with a heavy iron knife in his hand, and shouted: "The envoy of Bari Black has come to meet the Great Khan!" ”

Hao Jing whispered to Song Yichang: "This is the cowardly Xue Zhongjun Wanhu Nayaa, who has been in charge of the personal soldiers in front of the tent since the time of the first Great Khan, and has been the commander of the cowardly Xue since the establishment of the cowardly Xue, and his power in the palace is extraordinary. Moreover, he was close to two generations of Great Khans, and was the most trusted person of the Great Khan in the entire Khanate. ”

Song Yichang raised his head, trying hard to see the crimson and mighty face of the veteran in front of the palace gate. At that time, the Mongol code system was not completed, and there was no perfect eunuch system, and only some eunuchs did the work of serving the nobles. The summoning and issuing orders were all in charge of the warriors of the Cowardly Xue Army, which was indeed a little more powerful than the countries of the Central Plains.

Balihei is a famous city in Khorasan, which was previously captured by the Mongol soldiers by deception, and because it did not resist, it is almost the most well-preserved city in Khorasan. The messengers sent by the Bali Hedaru Huachi carried 300 white horses, all of them snow-white and without a single hair, as a gift to the Great Khan.

On the steppe, white is sacred, and black is bloody. Those who came above demanded tribute from vassals and tribes, mostly in white. For example, white horses, white cows, etc. Therefore, this time the envoys from all over the country who came to the Hajj Great Khan more or less carried some white horses as tribute, and Song Yichang privately calculated that there were at least 60,000 or 70,000 white horses offered this time, crowded in the city of Helin, just like white clouds fluttering in the city.

In addition to this, Barrikh paid ten camels of gold, 1,000 Roman gold coins, and 15,000 Sassanid silver coins. and many gold and silver vessels, silks, sheepskins, and foals. The horses of the Khorasan region can be said to be unparalleled in the world, and they are used on the battlefield alone, and they are faster and more active than the native Mongolian horses. Khorasan is close to Persia, which is one of the largest producers of gold and silver in the world, and its copper kettles inlaid with gold and silver are the treasures of all parts of the world. But Song Yichang didn't think these Persian enamels he saw for the first time were shocking. Bai Yijie once gave him an enamel seal box after serving as the deputy commander of Jing'e, which can store both seals and ink, which is extremely delicate, and the appearance of the enamel porcelain process looks better than the Persian enamel process.

Nayaa spread the word in turn, and envoys from all over the country went to the main hall one after another to meet the Great Khan. There are roughly some of the same things in the tributes in various places, such as white horses, black sheep, cloth, gold and silver, and there are also many local specialties, such as Song Yichang saw that some places offered extremely sharp swords and swords, and in other places they offered local famous vegetables and fruits and rare flowers, some messengers brought colorful parrots that could learn human voices, and a messenger from Persia even offered a pair of live Persian lions. Messengers from Northern Tianzhu brought jugglers and illusionists, and messengers from Herat presented forty selected slave girls. But the most bold of the shots were the Uighur envoys from Gaochang who came from the foot of the Flaming Mountain, and they brought with them an unusually beautiful peacock tail feather, which is said to be nothing, and the princes of Baloch even sent real peacocks. But the Gaochang envoy said that the person with this peacock feather with this unique pattern in the world can mobilize 30,000 Gaochang soldiers.

It's really stupid, Song Yichang thought. Although it is normal for a vassal to draw troops to serve the clan, even entrusting one's own talisman to others is the way to destroy the country and the species. Imagine if there was a slight conflict between King Gaochang and the Mongolian inspector one day, and the Mongol envoy mobilized Gaochang soldiers to besiege and kill the king with a military talisman.

However, even such a generous gift was not praised by the Great Khan. On the contrary, it was the previous vaudeville and the beautiful slave girl who caused the sweaty bursts of laughter.

Kublai Khan stood outside the hall, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously a choice that he did not look down on the Great Khan.

Song Yichang also turned his head and made a disdainful expression at Hao Jing. Hao Jingle was happy, and he whispered to Song Yichang in Chinese: "Don't look at the Great Khan like this now, when he conquered Khorezm, he was no less than the first-class generals of the four heroes and four dogs." ”

Indeed, the prince of Ogedei was not the hedonistic person he is today. When Temujin first rose, he was attacked by the Zamuhe clan and the neighbor of Hal Khan, Temujin had few soldiers, and was besieged by the enemy, Ogedei followed his father with a bow and arrow, and was accidentally shot in the neck by the enemy, and was in danger, it was one of the four masters, Borhu, who used his mouth to absorb the bruise on his neck to save his life, and then the two of them rode a horse together and fought to get out of the siege.

During the conquest of Khorezm, Ogedai will be the Chinese army of the three-way army, and follow Genghis Khan to smash the heart of the enemy's heart, and in the two large-scale siege battles of Wodalai and Yulong Chijie, Ogedai has exerted his strength as the commander-in-chief of the front-line siege.

Subsequently, Ogedai also led his troops to participate in the pursuit of the Khorezm prince Zalandin, and after the end of the Western Expedition, he independently commanded a military horse to participate in the war to destroy the Western Xia Kingdom.

Even after becoming the Great Khan, he personally commanded the army, broke through the Tongguan Heavenly Danger, and captured Bianliang, the capital of the Jin Kingdom. At that time, Ogedai was no less courageous and capable than any of the four brothers.

Killing morale is probably something after the capture of Bianliang.

The great powers have been defeated, and the deeds have been accomplished. There is no need to risk arrows and stones and bloody battlefields again.

The famous saying of Wokotai in his life is: "Life is half pleasure and half bondage, if you follow the rules, you are bound yourself, and when you relax the bondage, you can truly enjoy yourself." ”

After defeating the Kingdom of Jin, you can finally enjoy yourself without restraint.

But there is still some responsibility to bear for the Great Khan.

The envoys' meetings continued for more than an hour, but Kublai Khan never got too much opportunity to meet the Great Khan. At this time, I only heard Nayaa say: "The morning is suspended!" Khan wants to take a break and eat something! ”

Seeing that Kublai Khan had an opportunity, he hurried forward, and when Nayaa saw that it was Kublai Khan coming, he clasped his hand on his chest and saluted, saying, "Great King, no one can enter if the Great Khan does not pass it on." ”

Before Kublai Khan could speak, Hulegu behind him snorted and said, "Uncle Ogedei's felt tent used to be free for our brothers to enter and exit, but now it is under your control?" ”

Nayaa was calm and resolute by nature, and did not like words, but simply replied: "What the Great Khan said is an order. Even people like King Kublai Khan and Prince Hulegu are not something that can be seen if you want to. ”

Kublai Khan smiled, put his hand on Naya's back and said, "Naya, we just want to meet Uncle Ogedei, you only need to be responsible for passing the word out." Do you remember? When you were conquering the barbarians, you found Hulan Kedun, but you didn't immediately sacrifice her to the Great Khan. Let the Great Khan be angry, at this time, who hugged the leg of the Great Khan and told him not to be angry casually, who gave the Great Khan a mare's milk wine in a green jade wine cup to calm his anger? ”

Of course, Nayaa will not forget, if it weren't for the hard advice of the fourth prince to drag the thunder, maybe he would have been beheaded by Genghis Khan a long time ago, where would he have the opportunity to be such a beautiful Chinese army?

He put away the long knife in his hand and nodded to Kublai Khan: "Please wait here for the king, and I will go in and tell the Great Khan immediately." ”

Soon after Nayaa entered, a quiver came and preached: "Please go to the Great Khan." ”

The quiver led Kublai Khan and his party to the main hall. Sitting on the throne of the dragon in the center is none other than the Khan himself, the largest power in the world who governs the land of Wanli. The dragon chair under his seat was moved from the Da'an Hall of the Jin Kingdom, carefully carved from sandalwood, inlaid with large and small jade and eastern pearls.

Thousands of households and thousands of households stood neatly at the foot of the broad steps, and scholars, translators, and attendants from all over the world stood respectfully at the bottom.

The orchids in the center of the main hall, dressed in revealing clothes and covered with pink veil, swirled and danced rapidly to the passionate melody of the huqin, as if they were singing and dancing with their souls.

Da Khan, who was slightly fat, sat on a wide dragon chair and held a slender Western Regions dancer in his arms, allowing the dancer to pick up a grape from the fruit bowl, peel it and put it in Da Khan's mouth.

He was very pleased to see Kublai Khan and Hulegu leading two Han people up to the palace. He greeted in a loud voice: "Kublai Khan, Hulegu, sit down in front of me quickly, this year's sheep in the Yira department are growing very well, and the meat is fat and tender." They sent a messenger to present a hundred, and we will taste this year's lamb. ”

As he said this, a group of servants came up carrying fresh roast mutton under the leadership of Chef Xue, and the patriarch of the Yiyi tribe smiled earnestly at the bottom of the stairs, beckoned the clansmen and said, "Hurry up and offer the best mutton of the year to the Great Khan!" ”

Four young men dressed in brocade carried a large plate of heavy wood, on which were steaming roasted whole sheep, and the fragrance wafted through the huge Wan'an Palace, desperately drilling into everyone's nostrils and throats.
