May 17, 320 of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the tenth day after the National Day of the Great Song Dynasty 320 passed. Most of the capitals of Dayuan did not enter the rainy season like Hangzhou. At this time, the weather in most of the capital is already relatively hot, and the linen clothes have large gaps, breathable, and are cooler to wear. Some of the heat-intolerant people were already wearing linen clothing.

Hao Ren Wanhu was wearing cotton cloth and was sitting next to Kublai Khan, listening to his aunt Hongjira Chabi tell Kublai Khan about the loveliness of Quan Jiu.

"This woman's conversation is just likeable. I really didn't know that her heart was so exquisite. ”

"It's very likable to think of her when you say that." Kublai Khan replied casually.

But she doesn't seem to be able to stand the water and soil in the north, and she gets sick at every turn. Looking at that haggard appearance, it is really distressing, Da Khan might as well let her go back to the south. Empress Chabi persuaded.

Quan Jiu is the queen of Duzong, and was sent to Dadu after the surrender of Lin'an. Hao Ren is not familiar with this person, and he is not interested in dealing with the gang of wastes who presided over the surrender of President Lin'an. After so many contacts with Zhao Jiaren, Hao Ren's only curiosity about the Great Song Dynasty royal family is left, and that is why Zhao Jiaren failed to become the emperor early. As for the Empress Dowager Quan, it was not in Hao Ren's consideration at all.

Kublai Khan picked up the conversation, and he smiled: "You like Quan Jiu so much, if she goes back to the south, don't you want her?" ”

Empress Chabi was a little stunned when she heard this. Quan Jiu was because she was loved by Empress Chabi, and Empress Chabi was willing to help her in front of Kublai Khan. If such a lovely person returns to the south, who can relieve the boredom of Empress Chabi.

"I think it might as well be like this." Kublai Khan advised, "If you also think that this woman has a delicate heart, let the national teacher of Basba dig out her heart and make it into a magic weapon." Waiting for the woman to return to the south, she can also leave a miss. ”

"How else?" Empress Chabi asked in surprise.

"Don't you believe in the craftsmanship of the national teacher of Basba? He used Song Lizong's skull to make a Gabala bowl, isn't this a big deal? Tantra is good at making ritual vessels from living people, which is an ancestral craft. ”

"Is it really that effective?" Empress Chabi was very skeptical.

Hao Ren was dumbfounded. Isn't it true that if you take out your heart, you will die? No matter how reliable the craftsmanship of the Basba National Master is, no matter how ancestral the Tantra's methods of using living people are to make instruments. The former queen Quan Jiu was taken out of her heart, and she must be dead. Empress Chabi didn't notice this, and really didn't know whether to say that she was religious, or that Kublai Khan's tone was so relaxed that his attitude was not understood.

"There are many secret methods of Tantra. All kinds of spells can really take people's lives thousands of miles away. Kublai Khan said with great interest.

"Really? God forbid, sin and sin. Queen Chabi prayed in a low voice.

Hao Ren was even more puzzled. Empress Chabi's actions were more like a smart woman, but why did she not understand Kublai Khan's sarcasm.

"Great Khan. Monks should have compassion, and it is better not to use this method of cursing people to death. Empress Chabi continued.

Kublai Khan nodded in agreement, "Mm-hmm." When it should be useful, it should be useful, and if it is useless, it is better not to use it. ”

"Will the Great Khan promise to send Quan Jiu back to the south?"

"Hao Ren, tell the empress about the Song State's response after you renewed the Huaxian Treaty."

Hao Ren didn't expect to be taken out like this. can only bite the bullet and say: "Queen, Song Guo is determined to fight us to the end." Last year, I renewed the Huaxian Treaty with the Song State. After that, we hoped to sign a permanent peace treaty with Song, but Song resolutely refused. In addition to refusing, the official family of the Song State also publicly stated on the National Day that the purpose of the Song State was to mix up China. His so-called Huaxia includes the land where the Han people have been, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Han people have been to the place, it is Huaxia. It also includes our steppe. ”

"Then why don't you question the Song State official family on this matter?" Empress Chabi asked.

"Huh?" Hao Ren was puzzled. He thought it was too feminine. Maybe it's because I've been obsessed with Song Guo's cartoons recently, scratching my head, and diplomatic scenes have appeared in Hao Renwanhu's mind.

The Mongol envoy, dressed in Mongolian costumes, asked frankly: Why did the Song officials make remarks hostile to the Great Yuan.

The official of Song replied with a disdainful face: It's your business.

The Mongolian official said angrily: The grasslands of the official capital of the Song State have been drawn into the map of the Song Kingdom!

Song official: If you don't like to hear it, just hide in the corner and draw circles.

Mongolian official: Are you going to war?

Song official: Fight, fight! Who's afraid of whom!

……

Shaking his head vigorously, Hao Ren Wanhu did his best to expel these not very serious imaginations from his mind. Then I heard the queen continue to ask, "Why are you shaking your head?" ”

"Queen, if you ask directly. There is no such thing as an order. Hao Ren replied.

"What a strange mind you men have. If you feel that the words of the Song State officials are inappropriate, they will directly send someone to ask why the Song State has not stopped fighting. It is to fight a war, and also let the Song State know that it is the Song State officials who want to start a war, not our Great Yuan. There must be many people in the Song Kingdom who are fighting each other, and there must be many people who do not want to fight. If we are against the war, why don't we let the people of the Song Dynasty understand that our Great Yuan is committed to peace. ”

Hao Ren felt that there were shadows and three vertical lines in his head like those cartoons, and the Mongols were holding on to peace, which was what the queen could say. The point is that no one will believe you when you say this!

"When the words are spoken, some people may believe it, and some people may not believe it. But if you don't say it, no one will believe it. Now, can I say that? ”

“…… The queen taught a lesson. Hao Ren expressed his refusal with perfunctory words. The Great Yuan known to Hao Ren was a Great Yuan from the upper echelons who wanted to conquer the Song Kingdom very much. Now I don't want to do it because I don't have the certainty of winning. As for sincerely seeking peace with the Song Kingdom, it is not a matter at all in the upper echelons of the Great Yuan. So what the queen wants to say, let the queen say. Making decisions is the task of the Khan of Kublai Khan.

"Great Khan, why don't you send Quan Jiu back to the south?" Empress Chabi turned her head and continued to persuade Kublai Khan.

"No way!" Kublai Khan readily rejected the queen's request, "The Song Kingdom will inevitably gain an inch." ”

"I don't send it. Isn't the Song Kingdom allowed to advance an inch? ”

Seeing his wife's insistence, Kublai Khan stood up and said, "Quan Jiu can be sent back, but I have to leave my heart in my Dayuan." Hao Ren, let's go out for a walk. ”

Hao Ren Wanhu followed the Great Khan out of the Golden Palace, he had not had much contact with the queen before, but he had heard that the queen was very virtuous. After this meeting, he personally admired the queen. However, in Fang Cai's conversation, he sensed that something was wrong. So Hao Ren asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on with that practice?" Tantra said that Zhao Jiaren could be cursed to death? ”

"Humph!" Kublai Khan replied hatefully, "If those tantric sects can't do it, it would be good to tell the truth sooner." Do you have to make them wear charms into the fire! ”

Hao Ren burst out laughing when he heard this. As the Baspa National Master of Tibetan Buddhism began to be commissioned to create the Mongolian script, Tibetan Buddhism had an overwhelming preponderance. Taking advantage of the situation, Shijiao demanded that the imperial court investigate the Taoist apocrypha that was once forbidden by Meng Ge but was still popular in the world. At the beginning of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan ordered the monks of the Liberation Gate, the Wenchen of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Zongyan, the Quanzhen Sect Sect Qi Zhicheng, and the Dao Sect Li Dehe and others to gather in the Changchun Palace to verify the authenticity of the Taoist scriptures. The debate lasted for dozens of days, and as a result, except for the Tao Te Ching, the rest of the Taoist scriptures were judged to be apocrypha.

Shijiao urged the imperial court to order the burning of scriptures again, and Kublai Khan said: "Taoist scriptures, preaching and fallacy are not a day. If it is burned, its disciples may not be convinced. He said that water and fire can't be burned, but he thought it was a test. If it is not tested, it is not too late to burn it."

In response to the Taoist boasting of the talisman, Kublai Khan ordered each of the Taoist sects to push one person to "wear the talisman into the fire and try his own skills". Zhang Zongyan and others panicked and admitted, "This is all nonsense." When the ministers enter the fire, they will be ashes, and they dare not try, but they beg to be burned and go to the Tao."

Now, with the war unfavorable, Kublai Khan has begun to need the help of strange forces. It is clear that Tantra has not learned from the previous teachings. However, Kublai Khan, who was sick and went to the doctor, took Tantric tricks as a comfort to his soul. And it turned out that Tantra had not been able to fulfill the wishes of the Great Khan.

"Great Khan...... Those strange words are not credible. Hao Ren couldn't help but persuade.

"I ordered someone to torture the Song Dynasty clan, how did I hear those people say that Zhao Jiaren understands secret arts."

"Great Khan, if they really knew this, why didn't they run to Zhao Jiaren before Lin'an surrendered?" Hao Ren replied with a wry smile.

"Maybe it's too late?" Kublai Khan hesitated.

"They themselves will say it's because it's too late. In fact, where will it be too late! They made up nonsense in order to be less punished. The officials of the Song State saw that the Lin'an court was not saved at all, and they all dispersed. If those clans in Lin'an City wanted to escape, they would definitely be able to escape. ”

"Uh-huh......" Kublai Khan muttered.

Looking at Kublai Khan, who was caught in the scam of the feudal Huidaomen, Hao Ren couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty. We in Mongolia fought wars, although we all had shamanic practices. However, Genghis Khan with ...... Torre, which battle is under the command of the shaman. They scout the enemy, scout the battlefield. Lure the enemy to a place where they can't do anything, and smash the enemy with 10% of my strength. So you can win big. Our army is not able to rush into battle, and it is far from the point where it cannot fight the Song army, as long as it ......"

"Enough!" Kublai Khan shouted in an angry voice.

Hao Ren's heart sank. He didn't expect Kublai Khan to be so obsessed with the Battle of the Yellow River. At the end of the battle, both Kublai Khan and Marshal Boyan released the Mongol heavy cavalry in armor at a critical moment. Then the thousands of heavy cavalry were wiped out, inflicting the worst losses in the Mongol campaign in decades.

Isn't it difficult that Kublai Khan has not been able to find a way to break the enemy until now? Hao Ren had to think so.
