Chapter 576: Eight Sipa
Mongolian military camp.
In the king's tent, Kublai Khan held a white jade folding fan in his hand, his white face was red and white at the moment, staring at the palm of his hand that was so familiar that he could no longer be familiar with the folding fan, Kublai Khan's chest suddenly rose and fell violently.
Bang dang!
With a quiet sound, the table in front of the throne fell to the ground, and the cups and dishes on it tumbled to the ground, and a bronze cup rolled straight forward playfully, and finally stopped in front of a man in black who was kneeling on the ground.
Looking at the entire tent, in addition to the middle-aged man whose hair had lost most of his hair and was slightly slumped, there were nine black-clothed people in the same costume behind him, all of whom were kneeling in a highly unified motion at the moment, burying their faces deep between their arms, and not daring to breathe.
"Pei Bin, Pei Bin, I trust you by handing over Jia'er to you, you have really done me a great good thing! Ha!!? That's how you protect yourself!? โ
No one could have imagined that Kublai Khan, who had always been kind and did not seem to be angry, would actually kick over the table, you must know that this person has always learned the Confucianism of the Han people, and he has always fulfilled the true meaning of Confucianism and Taoism.
"The subordinates are negligent, so that the county lord is in the hands of the enemy, Bin, never give up, please punish the prince!"
"Please punish the prince!!"
Pei Bin did not excuse his mistake when he heard this, he calmly admitted his dereliction of duty, and asked Kublai Khan to punish him.
"You!!"
Pei Bin, who didn't even dare to raise his head with his finger in the air, Kublai Khan was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, if he begged for mercy, it would be easy to do, then he would all be pulled out and beheaded, but now he is so good that he admits his mistakes and asks Kublai Khan to punish, not only him, but the nine men in black are also bent on asking for punishment.
This made Kublai Khan's anger nowhere to release, and he sat down on the king's chair with a slump of his ass, Kublai Khan's eyes flashed many looks, and then raised his delicate face to look directly at Pei Bin who was heading down, and said: "The master is in prison, but you are at large, I really did my best to recruit some good subordinates."
The words are full of self-deprecation.
After all, Kublai Khan was not one of those incompetent kings who would only get angry and insult his subordinates when something happened, he quickly restrained his emotions, but because of this, the calmer he was, the more uncomfortable Pei Bin became, even if he could scold Pei Bin a few more words, he would not be so uneasy.
In the deep self-blame, Pei Bin's mind couldn't help but flash that day in the Sanqing Hall of the Quanzhen Sect, Huang Jia smiled and told him that as soon as the number of half a month passed, she would judge herself and would not embarrass her brother.
Now two days have passed since the incident, Pei Bin has not rested since the day he fled, he is in a hurry, and he has just arrived in the Mongolian military tent.
Thinking that he had lived up to Huang Jia's expectations, Pei Bin was ashamed and ashamed, and in a hurry, he actually reached for the saber on his waist with one hand and raised his head and said: "Lord Wang, I am ashamed of my high hopes for you, and I have also failed to live up to the expectations of the county lord, even if I die, I will not atone for my sins." โ
After saying that, he was about to cut himself off with the sword at his waist, but his behavior was very sudden and fast, which made Kublai Khan, who was the leader, unable to react for a while, and was actually stuck on the spot.
In a hurry, I saw a gray shadow quickly sweeping the air and rushing towards Pei Bin, the speed and momentum were so strong that Pei Bin was surprised, and he subconsciously wanted to draw his sword on the bar.
But as soon as the palm of his hand touched the hilt of the sword, he felt a huge force coming from his arm, like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and the terrifying coercion made Pei Bin's movements slow down by half a beat.
This discovery made Pei Bin frightened inexplicably, and the moment he raised his eyes, he felt that his hand was loosened, and the long sword had left his waist in the blink of an eye and quietly fell into the hands of the comer.
At this time, Kublai Khan also reacted, immediately got up and walked quickly to Pei Bin, and first nodded at the man and thanked him: "Thank you, sir." โ
The latter held a sword in one hand and said the Tantric Buddha with one hand, and then quietly retreated without saying much.
But seeing that this person is very ordinary, his mouth, nose, eyes and ears are the kind of appearance that he can no longer remember when he is thrown into the crowd, with flat hair, thin body, wearing traditional XZ tantric clothes, no shoes and socks on his feet, and a pair of fleshy feet on October days, looking like a typical ascetic.
His name is Paspa, and he has been following Kublai Khan's side in recent years, and after the Golden Wheel Dharma King returned to seclusion, he went out of the mountain again to assist Kublai Khan.
As the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, King Jinlun is the current Mongolian national teacher, which is naturally the current Mongolian emperor's national teacher, and doing things in front of Kublai Khan is actually just assisting him, and the two are not subordinate.
If it is true that he is talking about his own people, this Phag-pa is Kublai Khan's proper own person.
A few years later, Mongolia experienced the death of Mรถngke, Kublai Khan and his brother Ali Buge in the battle for the throne, he assisted by Pasipa in the war with Ali Buge after the initial victory, Kublai Khan returned to Yanjing, succeeded to the Mongolian Khan, and then named Phags-pa as the national teacher, awarded the jade seal, so that Phags-pa led the world to expound Buddhism, thus, Phags-pa has the status of the national Buddhist leader.
It was only then that there was a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and the Taoist sects led by the Quanzhen Sect all lost to the Buddhist court led by Ba Sipa, and then fell apart.
This person is the next Mongolian national teacher after King Jinlun, Phags-pa.
At this moment, Pei Bin still looked at the ascetic in disbelief, but in the next second, a crisp voice resounded in the tent.
Syllable!!!
Feeling the burning pain on his cheeks, Pei Bin couldn't help but come back to his senses, quietly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Kublai Khan, who was wide-eyed in front of him.
"You've let me down so much!"
At this time, another middle-aged man in the tent, who was also the head of the monk's line, suddenly stepped forward quickly, and bowed deeply beside Kublai Khan: "Lord Wang, please calm your anger, Mr. Pei is also the protector, it is inevitable that he will be anxious, they are all his own people, and you might as well calm down and listen to the little words." โ
This person's name is called Zicong, a monk, the layman's name is Liu Kan, also known as Liu Bingzhong, is Kublai Khan's adviser in front of the tent, he is resourceful and proficient in strategy, and Kublai Khan relies on him very much.
In the original book, Zhong Zicong heard that Kublai Khan was in the Mongolian camp to meet several masters recruited from the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and immediately went to meet him, which coincided with Zhou Botong breaking into the Mongolian camp and playing Xiao Xiangzi, Yin Kexi, Nemo Xing, Ma Guangzuo and others.
This person immediately came up with a plan, poisoned the wine, and pretended to toast Zhou Botong, trying to poison Zhou Botong to death, but unexpectedly, Zhou Botong had profound skills, and the poisonous wine had no effect.
Later, after the Mongolian Empress Nimatsa came to the court, she trusted the powerful minister Wendur Hamar, and belittled the old minister Yelu Chucai in many ways, and later poisoned him to death, and killed his son Yelu Zhu, and ordered to hunt down and kill his family.
Kublai Khan consulted Zicong on how to deal with this matter, and Zicong believed that Yelu Chucai had contributed to the country, was wise and fair, and had great merit, and should protect his descendants, and then Kublai Khan also adopted his opinion, which shows his reliance on this person.
PS: Many people mistakenly think that the middle-aged monk who often appears next to Kublai Khan is a Taoist of the later generations, but in fact, it is actually his advisor Zicong, which is clearly recorded in the original work.
"Oh~ Mr. Zicong has a high opinion?"
This person is very smart, he didn't say a word when Kublai Khan was still angry just now, but when Kublai Khan was almost angry and could listen to the words, he happened to stand up, and he could sell Pei Bin a good face and a good impression.
Second, Kublai Khan was able to calm down and listen carefully to his analysis, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"I can't talk about it, it's just some small suggestions, Lord Wang, please."
Stretching out his hand to signal Kublai Khan to return to his position, Zi Congchong, who was still kneeling on the ground, nodded kindly.
"Is there a way sir can rescue Jia'er?"
Sitting back on the main seat according to the words, Kublai Khan looked at Zicong with anticipation.
"I don't dare to say that I am completely sure, but it is not that there are no opportunities"
There has been some accident in the past two days, apologize and apologize, and there will be more later.
