Xiao Yao's mansion was only one street away from Kublai Khan's palace, only a few hundred meters away, and in his heart, this distance was hardly worth mentioning, and it was only a few hundred meters away. Seeing Xiao Yao coming, an attendant who had been waiting in front of the palace hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lord Xiao, the prince has been waiting for a long time, please come here." With that, they led the way, and the two entered the palace together. Xiao Yao followed behind, and saw that even the attendant, who had always been steady and polite on weekdays, was in a hurry at this time, obviously something big must have happened in the house, and his heart suddenly became heavy. But he also knew that it would be useless to think too much about what he was doing, so after a little contemplation, he decided to meet Kublai Khan first before making plans.

The two of them hurried to the main hall, there were already many officials waiting here in the hall, and when they saw Xiao Yao, they all saluted and took the initiative to say hello. As soon as Xiao Yao entered the main hall, he saw Kublai Khan sitting on the throne with a sad face at a glance. In his impression, no matter at any time and in the face of any situation, Kublai Khan was always in his chest, and he had never had such a gaffe. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao suddenly understood in his heart that the crisis that Kublai Khan encountered this time was probably not trivial, so in the face of the flattery of other officials, he turned a deaf ear and walked directly to Kublai Khan and asked: "Shouldn't Your Highness be supervising the army on the front line at this time? Why did you return to the palace?"

When Kublai Khan saw Xiao Yao coming back, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he slowly greeted and said, "It turns out that Lord Xiao is back, give me a seat." However, the voice was heavy and unpleasant.

Xiao Yao sat down next to Kublai Khan, and just wanted to speak, Kublai Khan suddenly waved his hand and said to the hundred officials in the palace: "You all retreat first, I want to talk to Lord Xiao." The hundred officials were ordered, and immediately bowed and retreated, and in the huge main hall, only Kublai Khan and Xiao Yao were left after a while.

After the hundred officials retreated, Xiao Yao finally asked anxiously: "Big brother, what the hell is going on, why did you leave the army behind?"

Kublai Khan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you are wrong, the eldest brother did not throw the army, and now the army on the front-line battlefield is commanded." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao was only inexplicable for a while. The army besieging Xiangyang in the previous round was Kublai Khan's henchman's division, and all the transfer and command power was in his hands alone, and Kublai Khan had always taken this military power very seriously, but at this time, Kublai Khan actually said that there was another person in command of that army, how could this not surprise Xiao Yao? He hurriedly asked: "Who is in command?"

Kublai Khan smiled miserably and said, "It's Tachar." ”

Hearing the name "Ta Cha'er", Xiao Yao's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly understood. He thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "Meng Ke Khan, have you been relieved of your military power?"

Kublai Khan frowned, nodded lightly, and said: "Just a few days after you set off for Zhongnan Mountain, Meng Ge suddenly issued an order, appointing Ta Cha'er as the commander of the Zuo Ji Army, and at the same time sending Alan Da'er, Liu Taiping, and Nangjiatai to Shaanxi and Henan to set up hook examination bureaus. As soon as this hook examination bureau was established, it took all the civil affairs and financial powers under my rule into my hands, and its role was obvious, that is, to attack my forces and stop our reform plan. ”

"After I heard the news, I was naturally unwilling, and I wanted to go to Meng Ge to ask for clarification, but he said that I was suffering from foot disease, and it was not appropriate to be overly tired, so let me stay at home and rest, and the military and political affairs could be entrusted to others for the time being. I guess it is precisely because of the remarkable effect of the Han law that we implemented earlier to govern the Han land, and his prestige in the Central Plains has increased, and his financial resources have gradually become stronger, but in this way, it will inevitably touch the interests of the Mongolian nomadic nobles and the merchants of the Western Regions, and it will also pose a threat to Meng Ge's khanate power. I heard that there are two ancient sayings in the Central Plains, which are called "high merit and high spirits, and self-respect for the army". Our strength is so strong now, it is naturally reasonable to cause the uneasiness of those clan ministers and Meng Ge on the grassland. I wanted to have a discussion with Meng Ge, but when I thought that although we were strong and strong at the moment, if we really fought him, I was afraid that there would still be fewer wins and more losses, so I had to endure it. ”

"But in this way, my military power was taken away by Tachar. If it weren't for his grandfather usurping the throne, he was still young, and the queen of Ogedai Khan, who was the regent at that time, was benevolent and awarded the 'Imperial Brother's Seal' to Tachar, and he succeeded him as the Ulus Khan of Chuchijin. Now Meng Ge asked him to come over and restrain me and take away my military power, alas, this is really the tiger falling Pingyang being bullied by dogs. ”

"As for Alan Da'er, he is the left prime minister of Ali Buge, and Meng Ge ordered him to lead Liu Taiping and Nangjiatai to set up a hook examination bureau, which may not have anything to do with Ali Buge. Although he is stationed in our Great Mongolian capital of Hara and Lin, but has always opposed my sinicization policy, although I am his own brother, but the relationship has never been harmonious. This time, Meng Ge seized the power of our military and political affairs, but I am afraid that it is Ali Buge who is fanning the flames behind him. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao had thoroughly understood the ins and outs of this, and with Kublai Khan's narration, he also quickly searched for relevant history in his mind. In his memory, Kublai Khan did arouse Möngke's suspicions, which led to the seizure of power. Later, in order to show that he had no dissenting aspirations, Kublai Khan took the initiative to send his wife and children to the Khan's court as hostages, and he also went to meet Meng Ge in person, and finally the misunderstanding between the brothers was cleared up, and Kublai Khan returned to power, and with a series of military defeats in Tachar in the future, Meng Ge re-handed over the military power to him. Although Xiao Yao still remembers these twists and turns, it is very vague, and if it is directly used as the basis for acting at the moment, it will inevitably be too unrigorous, and at this time it can only be regarded as a general route. But even so, thinking of this, Xiao Yao felt very stable in his heart, and said to Kublai Khan: "Big brother don't worry, as the saying goes, there is no endless road, and the younger brother believes that the eldest brother will be able to get out of the predicament this time." ”

When Kublai Khan heard this, he immediately said, "What do you think, brother?"

Xiao Yao smiled slightly and said, "Meng Ge Khan suspects that the eldest brother has rebellious intentions, which is instigated by the villain, but the eldest brother has no such intentions. People say that the gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, the eldest brother is a gentleman, since he has no shame in his chest, then he doesn't have to worry too much, as long as we act above board, those villains will not take advantage of it. Now that Meng Ge Khan is closed, if the eldest brother is still sitting in the mansion, there will never be any turn for the better, and only by taking the initiative can this crisis be broken. Speaking of this, Xiao Yao suddenly looked at Kublai Khan, his eyes were blazing, and his expression was solemn and asked, "Big brother, do you believe me?"

Kublai Khan saw that Xiao Yao was suddenly so solemn, and his eyes were full of firmness, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said, "My good brother, of course the eldest brother believes in you." ”

Xiao Yao nodded slightly, and said, "Big brother, for the sake of today's plan, only by winning the trust of Meng Ge Khan can the situation be reversed." And this method of winning trust......" At this point, he paused deliberately. Kublai Khan knew what he was thinking and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. After getting Kublai Khan's will, Xiao Yao said: "The way to win trust is to send the eldest brother's relatives and family members to the Khan's court and hand them over to Meng Ke Khan to guard. ”
