Chapter 178: Big Pot Rice (28)

Hao Renyun's pen is like the wind, and he has written several letters bit by bit. To the Yuan State, to the Quadripartite Alliance, to the Great Song Dynasty and the Province of Europa, the main content of the letter to each party was to inform him to return to Damascus when he saw Hao Kang. After writing the letter, Hao Renrang immediately sent it out. Before the guards went out, the doorman guarding the door quickly ran in to report, "Prime Minister, the imperial envoy asks to see you." ”

"Ask him to come in." Hao Ren rubbed his wrist and replied.

As soon as Yuxi Timur entered the door, he hurriedly said to Hao Ren: "Prime Minister, I don't do things well, I really have no way to teach my son!" ”

"Huh. The envoy may be seated. Hao Ren kindly gave up his seat to Yuxi Timur first, and waited for Yuxi Timur to sit down before continuing: "The imperial envoy is a little harsh about Tokhtar, he is just on the order of the Great Khan to lead the banner army to the garrison. ”

Yuxi Timur frowned, and said angrily: "He likes to be smart on weekdays, but he always makes fools when he should be smart!" At that time, the banner army should be stopped no matter what, and they should not be allowed to enter the city! ”

"The Great Khan Holy Intent is that at that time, you and I will only be afraid and have to obey orders. Why get rid of the prophet of the unknown? Hao Ren replied easily.

"Alas! Those traitors know that they have misled the country! Yuxi Timur's voice was a little sad and indignant. Hao Kang didn't run away when he left, he sent an 800-mile fast horse to Baghdad at that time. Timur Khan was shocked when he saw Hao Kang's recital, and he remembered that he had ordered the banner army not to enter the city to live.

From Baghdad to Damascus, the traffic is quite convenient. The fast horse galloped on the road, and it took a few days to figure out what was going on. Only then did Timur realize that he had been used by those princes, and he was furious in the court, and publicly dismissed several ministers who participated in the 'True Transmission of the Holy Decree' from their posts on the spot and drove them out of the court.

Yuxi Timur, who witnessed this incident, was also angry enough, and it cannot be said that the princes should bear all the responsibility in this matter, after all, it was the Timur Khan who originally ordered the banner army to enter the city, even if the Timur Khan was only perfunctory at that time, but the king did not joke, and this pot had to be divided into half of the Timur Khan.

Now when it comes to this matter, Yuxi Timur is full of anger and cannot attack on Timur, so he can only turn his anger on his son Totokh. If you can decisively refuse at that time, seize the time to upload the table again. This thing will not get to where it is now. There is no need to even put it on the table, as long as it is delayed for a few days, a new decree will be sent to Damascus to solve the matter perfectly. Finally holding back his anger, Yuxi Timur asked, "What is the prime minister going to do now?" ”

"Chase Hao Kang back, and I'll go back to Yuanguo." Hao Ren said calmly. Before this incident, he decided to return to the Yuan Kingdom, and after this incident, Hao Ren's determination to return to the Yuan Kingdom was strengthened.

"I hope the little prince doesn't go too fast." Yuxi Timur expressed the expectations in his heart.

Leaving Hao Ren's residence and returning to his house, he saw a tall Yuanguo mixed breed horse outside the palace gate, and Yuxi Timur took three steps and made two steps into the palace gate and shouted: "Call Tokhtar over!" ”

Not long after, Totoh, who was halfway through the meal, arrived in front of Yuxi Timur, and Yuxi Timur shouted: "Toto, why didn't you try to keep Hao Kang at that time!" ”

Tokhoff had already been mentally prepared, and replied calmly: "Back to my father, Hao Kang's two thousand soldiers and horses have made up his mind again. How could I stop it. ”

With a long sigh, Yuxi Timur did not continue to blame his son. He knew he could blame Tokhtar for not taking a stand, but it wasn't fair either. Timur Khan opposed Hao Ren, and the princes followed the Khan's orders to fuel the flames and obey the holy decree. As the opposing party, Hao Kang resolutely opposed the entry of the flag army into the city, and resigned and left after seeing the holy decree. Except for the backsliding Timur Khan, everyone in this matter stood their ground.

Tokhtar did not flinch, he continued: "Father, I have thought about it all the way, and I feel that the prime minister's idea of establishing a system is correct, but he can't do it at all. In the future, if the prime minister still wants to do his best to promote the system he wants, I am afraid that it will not work. ”

Yuxi Timur sighed: "Tokhtar, you know Kublai Khan...... What was the time of Kublai Khan like? ”

"I don't know." Tokhtok replied. After finishing speaking, he felt that saying this was a bit unintelligent, and couldn't help but follow, "I have been a disciple of Boyan Dashuai for a while, and when I saw Boyan Dashuai's character, I thought that the system should be rigorous and orderly. ”

"I heard the prime minister say that you want to go back to the days of Kublai Khan's reign. Do you know what system Prime Minister Hao Ren wants to establish? ”

Tokhtar had thought about this question for a long time, and at this time he said in a cautious tone as much as possible: "According to the ideal of the prime minister, Mongolia should strive to build a system like Kublai Khan when he was alive. The prime minister put forward the idea that the flag army should have its own exclusive camp and should not be stationed in the city, and the imperial court discussed it according to the system, and the Great Khan and the minister discussed the matter from the perspective of the long-term stability of Mongolia, and finally reached a decision. The Great Khan decreed the implementation of the decision, and the prime minister, as the head of the officials, formulated and implemented the system. ”

Yuxi Timur was stunned, but he didn't know what to say. This son of Tokhtar did not seem to be a person who understood what a system was. In order to test whether his son was parroting, Yuxi Timur continued to ask: "What are the rules?" ”

Tokhtar replied calmly: "The system is based on reason, and the rules are based on the convenience of a certain person or certain people. ”

This sounds very reasonable, but it is the first time I have heard of it, and Yuxi Timur was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Tell me more details." ”

Tokhtar went on to explain that the system was that everything had to follow the previously set process, and the power from the Great Khan to the prime minister to the prince was determined by the system. Whether it is an explicit provision or a verbal agreement, it cannot be changed without discussion.

The rules are set by the people in power, and how they want to change is determined by the ideas of the people in power. For example, the current Mongol court Timur Khan has the most power, and all he wants is to establish a banner army and suppress various princes, including Hao Ren. Therefore, in the first few days, it was said that the flag army would enter the city and station, and in the next few days, it was said that the flag army was not allowed to enter the city, and it was all decided by Timur Khan.

Hearing this, Yuxi Timur sat silently on the chair. In the past, he thought that his son was just a little smart, but now he has to admit that his son is really smart. Yuxi Timur was not unaware of these truths, and now he is quite shocked because Tokhtar tells the current situation of the Mongolian court from a very high-level perspective. This evaluation is not aimed at anyone, but it includes everyone in the court. If you grasp this truth, you can understand why everyone in the court acted the way they did.

There was silence for a while before Yuxi Timur asked, "Then why didn't you stop Hao Kang or the general of the banner army?" ”

"At that time, the Great Khan's decree arrived, and I couldn't stop the general of the banner army. Father, if I do this, I will surely make the Great Khan very angry. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't. If I stop the general of the banner army, what will the Great Khan think of me. Totoku replied bluntly.

Yuxi Timur frowned, and said unhappily: "It seems that you are just a person who plays with the rules!" ”

Tokh was stunned. The experience of leaving his father speechless was the first time in his life, and he didn't dare to show it on his face, not to mention how proud he was. But in just a moment, Dad used the truth that Takoff had just told to define Takoff's personality. As before, Daddy's words were still so sharp that Tokh Tokh couldn't refute them at all. Tokhtar felt a little aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. The current Mongolian court is like this, and it doesn't want to establish a system at all. Even if it is as strong as Hao Ren, it can't do it.

As the lord of the Yuan Kingdom, Hao Ren is even willing to do his best to contribute money and efforts to reproduce the beautiful old times in his memories. For nearly a year, Hao Ren made great efforts to provide a large amount of money and goods for the Mongols, and such loyalty was meaningless to the rule-oriented Mongol court, in exchange for jealousy and suspicion. Prime Minister Hao Ren is still like this, what can he do without him alone. If you do your best and don't help the abuse, you are a really good person.

The father and son had their own ideas, and they were silent for a long time. In the end, Yuxi Timur spoke, "Toto, do you think Hao Kang is suitable to be the prime minister?" ”

Taken aback, he soon felt that the topic was a perfect fit for his liking. His mind was running quickly, and he said: "If Brother Hao Kang becomes the prime minister, he should be able to do a lot of things. ”

"Why?"

"Brother Hao Kang is different from the prime minister, he dares to fight with the princes according to Mongolian rules. The princes are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and Prime Minister Hao Ren only wants the princes to follow him, which is a big mistake. Brother Hao Kang can clean up the prince, and he can do things when he becomes prime minister! ”

Yuxi Timur didn't like Tokhtar very much, and if he had done it before, he would have scolded Tokhtar. This time, however, his attention was drawn to Tokhta's description of Hao Kang, and even though Yuxi Timur was Hao Ren's political ally, he felt that Hao Renzhen was as 'not a Mongol' as he had been assessed twenty years earlier. In Mongolian land, you have to do things according to the rules of the Mongols. If Hao Ren can convince the Mongols with Mongolian rules, he will use other rules, and everyone will follow him. However, Hao Ren came up with rules that the Mongols did not understand at all, and he was at most a 'strange man' rather than a 'capable man'.

After thinking for a while, Yuxi Timur asked, "Toto, do you think you can catch up with Hao Kang?" ”

"When Hao Kang left Damascus, I sent someone to follow him. Unexpectedly, the Hao Kang brothers did things neatly, and he set the ship early. After arriving at the port, they got on the ship directly, and when the Great Khan's decree was delivered to Damascus, the Hao Kang brothers left for a day. Alas! I am really not as decisive as Brother Hao Kang. ”

"Oh?" Yuxi Timur was first surprised, and then rejoiced. Over the years, he has also tried his best to educate him about alopecia, but it is the first time he has seen alopecia and thinks that he is inferior to someone from the bottom of his heart. This was not the case with the previous Tokhtar, who was indeed shrewd and well-behaved, and knew how to give in to power. But in my heart, Tokhtami always feels that he is smarter and more capable than others. Even if he is as strong as Boyan, Totoh feels that he will definitely be able to surpass Boyan in time.

Hao Kang was able to express his appreciation for Totodu straightforwardly, or did he appreciate Hao Kang's positive actions...... Yuxi Timur regretted a little that he didn't make a good friend of Hao Kang.

At this time, Hao Kang didn't know that so many Mongolian bigwigs were thinking about him, lying on the bunk in the cabin, Hao Kang was thinking about what to do after returning to the Yuan Kingdom. This time he decided to accept his father's anger, so life may not be easy after that. Really sending to a small position to 'sharpen his heart' is not what Hao Kang wants. Thinking about it, Hao Kang hit the idea to the north and east.

The Kipchak Khanate did not attack the Yuan alone, and they also contacted the Rus' in the north. If he led his troops to crusade against the northern Rus', he would not be opposed. With his experience in Damascus, Hao Kang feels confident when facing the princes. Originally, Hao Kang thought that the princes were all men with unwavering ideas like the powerful Great Song Dynasty. After really getting in close contact with the princes, Hao Kang found that those princes were all timid people.

Hao Kang just divided the five horses of the most powerful local prince in Damascus, and the other princes immediately looked at the wind and surrendered. What made Hao Kang angry the most was that he originally thought that the reason why the princes painted the ground as a prison was to avoid other princes from plundering and voluntarily giving up part of their business interests. I really asked one by one to find out that the princes didn't know what business was at all, and they didn't know what science and technology were. The ability to draw the ground as a prison to run a grange has exhausted the intelligence and ability of the princes.

I thought I was facing a group of Mongolian heroes, but now I found that I was facing the 'barbarians' that the Great Song Dynasty newspapers talked about repeatedly. Thinking of this, Hao Kang pulled the quilt over his head, only to feel ashamed and embarrassed. It's a shame too! What a shame! What a shame!

Covering his face vigorously for a while, Hao Kang sat up abruptly and threw the quilt aside. This is already the dozens of times I don't know how many times to face such a problem, Hao Kang's shame began to numb after a while. The shame is still there, and Hao Kang can finally reluctantly accept the shame while acknowledging it.

For more than ten years, he has always opposed the correct propaganda of the Great Song Dynasty, wishful thinking to whitewash the barbarians. Hao Kang now finally admits that his depiction of the heroic figures of the Mongols is still based on the Great Song Dynasty's description of the Song people. studious, educated, idealistic, and ethical. When Hao Kang saw these descriptions in the Great Song Dynasty, he felt disgusted, but when he painted the image of the Mongols in his heart, he completely copied them.

After seeing the real Mongolians, Hao Kang felt that the big brother who looked too slippery before was sincerely cute. At least Tokhtar thinks he is better than the Mongols, but he is also really better than the Mongols.
