The Great War did not leave any scars west of the Dnieper, and after entering July, the Yuan Kingdom began to make preparations for the autumn harvest, and the days of Kiev were completely back on track.

As a reinforcement from the Great Khan's territory, Tie Lin couldn't feel the atmosphere of war at all, which made Tie Lin very surprised. Even if he knew that he would not participate in the war, but in the face of being surrounded on three sides and facing two or three hundred thousand enemies, Tie Lin always felt that he wanted to participate in the war. As a result, all his hard work was only a few thousand miles away. Tie Lin participated in the westward migration and completed the journey of 10,000 miles at a young age. Thousands of miles are indeed very hard, and for the Mongols it is nothing more. What's more, after he returned to Kyiv, he ate and slept, slept and ate. I have already regained my strength.

Walking on the streets of Kiev, Tielin only felt bored. The wealth of the Yuan Kingdom once surprised Tie Lin very much, and after getting used to it, he didn't get to it. It's all about the same dwellings, the same life, and it can't be compared to the great Golden Horde of Baghdad. Tielin began to miss Baghdad, a city where there was so much entertainment. Showmanship, snake tricks, dance. Most of the square dances in the Yuan Kingdom were public entertainment for the workers in their leisure time. Everyone was dressed neatly, and there was not even a ditch to see when they looked at the whole scene, and there was no comparison with the various places in Baghdad.

Tielin is homesick.

I went to visit Lord Hao Ren several times, but I never got my wish. The Great Khan's pro-army people drank too much and made trouble in the streets, and the people on the Kyiv side were not polite to this group of bastard boys, and a large-scale brawl broke out. After that, the Great Khan's pro-army was captured by dozens of people. Tie Lin wanted to intercede, but Hao Ren avoided it. Although Tie Lin was very angry, Tie Lin was also impressed by the fierce folk customs on the Kiev side. The guys who were lucky enough not to be caught all had blue noses and swollen faces.

Just when Tie Lin was bored drinking in the house, a guard suddenly asked Tie Lin to see Hao Ren. was brought into the court of the Yuan Kingdom, which was like a mansion of ordinary rich families, and saw many people come out together, all of whom were ministers of the Yuan Kingdom. After entering the room, I saw a lot of teacups on the conference table, obviously just finished the meeting.

Hao Ren finished drinking the water and put the cup on the long wooden table. Tie Lin thought that Hao Ren was going to talk about the fight, but he heard Hao Ren say: "Tie Lin, the battle is over." However, I am very busy here, so I can't go to Baghdad for the time being. ”

"Oh." Tie Lin didn't think Hao Ren was busy with anything, it was just some official business. Tielin saw his cousin Timur Khan on official business, and he was not necessarily very busy. But what should be said is still to be said, Tie Ling asked: "Lord Wang, aren't you going to Baghdad anymore?" The Queen Mother is still waiting for you to take office in Baghdad. ”

"I know what the Queen Mother is looking forward to. So I asked you to go back and report to the Queen Mother first. I had already said that I would go to work in the first year, and it looks like I might not be able to make the trip next year. Hao Ren recounted the arrangements for Tie Lin.

"This ...... I think it's better to ask the prince to go to Baghdad as soon as possible to take office. Tielin spoke up the most powerful persuasion he could come up with.

"Huh." Hao Ren laughed dryly. One of Tie Lin's tasks is actually to see the strength of the Yuan Kingdom in person, and Hao Ren is not so naïve that he can't even understand this.

As far as he sent people to inquire, the Great Khan's pro-army, including Tie Lin, felt that the Yuan Kingdom was very rich, but it was a very boring place. There's nothing more exciting than the flowery world of Baghdad. Hao Ren liked the impression of the Great Khan's pro-army on the Yuan Kingdom. As far as these gentlemen are concerned, they have no interest in boring places.

"Tielin, a few days ago, the Great Khan's pro-army people were making trouble in the streets after getting drunk, and I have already asked them to be released. But take them back to Baghdad first. Hao Ren already wanted to get rid of Tielin, and this trouble just gave him an excuse.

"Lord Wang......, Queen Mother ......" Tie Lin didn't know what to say, after all, he was on the territory of the Yuan Kingdom, so it was not appropriate to say it.

"I will let my eldest son Hao Kang go back to Baghdad with you, Hao Kang is good at water conservancy, I heard that the two river basins are not in a good situation, he should be able to help." Hao Ren said.

Hearing that Hao Kang was going to Baghdad, Tie Lin was stunned. Regardless of what Tie Lin thought, Hao Ren said, "You guys prepare and set off as soon as possible." ”

Sent away Tielin, Hao Ren called Hao Kang. first told Hao Kang about his promise to go to the Baghdad court to take over the prime minister, and Hao Ren then told Hao Kang, "You go to Baghdad first, I have already written a letter to the Queen Mother, recommending you to be the minister in charge of water conservancy." In addition, I have also written a letter to the imperial envoy of Timur, asking me to take care of you in the Baghdad court. You go to Baghdad to be an official first, and I'll go to Baghdad when I'm done with this side of things. ”

"Daddy......, this ......" Hao Kang was stunned by the sudden order.

Since Hao Ren had already made a decision, he firmly said: "I have long wanted to revitalize Mongolia, and I don't feel at ease about sending others there. You studied water conservancy, and you can be my pillar. Our father and son can only make great careers in the court, and I am the only one, and it is really difficult to support it alone. ”

Regardless of Hao Kang's thoughts, Hao Ren immediately ordered Hao Kang to set off. Four days later, Hao Kang boarded the ship to Baghdad with Tie Lin and others, and watched the fleet start, Hao Ren waved goodbye to his son. It wasn't until the figure of the fleet disappeared into the dense forest by the river that Hao Ren sighed and turned back to the palace.

The Yuan State always had to have its own foundation in Baghdad, and it was not as appropriate to send anyone as Hao Kang. When Hao Ren revitalized Mongolia, he was going to return to the Yuan Kingdom. At that time, Hao Kang was allowed to take over the power of the Mongolian prime minister, continue to be in power in Baghdad, and spread out. This is a good thing for both Hao Kang and Yuan Guo.

This news was not specifically publicized and was not blocked. As the fleet left Kyiv for Odessa, and from there crossed the Black Sea to the ports of Georgia, intelligence officers from the Great Song Europa Province and the Western Roman Empire were aware of this and sent messages to their respective countries.

Augustus Boyan of the Western Roman Empire couldn't help but smile when he heard the news. He led the Great Yuan army south to attack the Song Dynasty, and Hao Ren was under him. With the time when Hao Kang was born, Boyan also has his own judgment. Coupled with the news from the Mongolian Golden Horde Baghdad, Boyan Augustus wrote a letter to Hao Ren again, which did not mention anything about Hao Kang at all, but once again implored his in-law Hao Ren to send infantry to help.

The Great Song Dynasty Europa Province did not know Hao Kang's secrets at all, and learned that Hao Ren sent his eldest son to Mongolia, and the Europa Province felt that Hao Ren's possibility of becoming the prime minister of Mongolia had greatly increased, and immediately sent news to the country, and when these news were transmitted to Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, it was already August.

At the beginning of September, a lot of new intelligence was summarized and a report was made to Zhao Jiaren, an official of the Great Song Dynasty. In the analysis of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hao Ren sent his eldest son Hao Kang to Baghdad There are two views, the first view is naturally that Hao Ren asked his eldest son Hao Kang to go to Baghdad to make preliminary preparations and understand the internal forces of the Mongolian court. Prepare for Hao Ren to become the prime minister of Mongolia. The second view is that Hao Ren sent his eldest son to Baghdad as a hostage to reduce the pressure of the Mongol court on Hao Ren. Capture Warsaw, and move the capital to Warsaw. This process will take two or three years, and it is possible that Hao Ren will not even go to Baghdad to take up his post.

Zhao Jiaren did not tell the secret of Hao Kang's identity after hearing this, there is no DNA testing technology in this era, if there is, Zhao Jiaren would have done the test a long time ago. That's the case, Zhao Jiaren is also inclined to the speculation that Hao Kang is not Hao Ren's biological son. If this factor is taken into account, the possibility of sending Hao Kang to be a hostage is not high, it is more like Hao Ren is making some adjustments.

After listening to the report, the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were sent away. Zhao Jiaren called his eldest son Zhao Qian, handed over the document to Zhao Qian first, and asked him to read it by himself. After Zhao Qian finished reading, he said to his father: "Dad, Hao Ren is afraid that he doesn't want to go to Baghdad." ”

"What if Hao Kang isn't Hao Ren's biological son?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

Zhao Qian was shocked when he boarded, only to see his eyes wide open, and he couldn't say anything.

"Add the information of Hao Kang, and you can think about it again." After Zhao Jiaren finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to deal with his official business.

After Zhao Jiaren finished reading the two reports, Zhao Qian took the opportunity to say: "Dad, if that's the case, I think Hao Ren wants to dispose of Hao Kang this time." As for whether he is going to Baghdad or not, it is completely difficult to judge. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Jiaren put down the documents in his hand and answered.

"If the intelligence is incomplete and lacks a few key factors, especially the relationship between people, it is easy for us to draw completely different conclusions. I show you this example to make you understand the importance of intelligence. ”

"Dad, why doesn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs know this information?"

"I order this to be classified and not to be leaked. Because we're not entirely sure if this is true either. ”

"Why?" Zhao Qian asked in surprise. As soon as he said that, he understood the reason. Yang Tiexin is now the commander of the Yinshan Theater and a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty. If he didn't know this news, Yang Tiexin could still handle his work rationally, and if he knew this news, he would definitely be greatly affected. What's more, there is no way to investigate this matter across borders, and if the news is not true, it will be a big joke.

"You are not allowed to tell this either." Zhao Jiaren ordered.

"Yes." Zhao Qian immediately agreed.

"Recently, there have been reports that there are many cases of malpractice in farms across Henan. I want you to be in charge of the investigation, the basic personnel of the investigation team are ready, do you have the person you want? ”

Zhao Qian was stunned after hearing this completely unrelated topic, but he quickly understood what his father meant. If the information is not accurate, the answer is likely to be the opposite. Thinking about this, Zhao Qian replied: "I can't think of any candidate now. ”

"Good. Then don't think about it and work with the working group. Go ahead. Zhao Jiaren ordered.
