After listening to Yao Shu's words, Kublai Khan didn't believe it very much. In his opinion, the Han people's political power is now on one side. One of the reasons is that they play tricks with their monarchs and ministers, unlike the Mongolians.
In fact, Kublai Khan's fourth Prince did not believe in the stories of these tricks. In his opinion, his eldest brother mengge was always very cool. Even if he became a big sweat, he could not do such things.
But Kublai Khan's fourth Prince attached great importance to the opinions of his subordinates. Even though he didn't quite agree with Yao Shu's opinions, he still let Yao Shu finish what he said. If he had something to say, he would change it. If he had nothing to say, he would praise him.
Yao Shudao said: "if you look at the world, Han land will definitely not let its subjects be rich and rich. Now that Khan has given you all the military and political power in Khan land, what other important areas can be managed as the Khan of the whole Mongolia? Moreover, seeing this situation, those who are envious of you will surely think of Khan as a slander, A Khan would not listen because of brotherhood, but it would be hard to say when he was more suspicious. When the Khan became more suspicious, he would surely regret the increase he made to you today. The Khan would not say anything on the surface. He would try to seize your military and political power secretly. At that time, you will be in danger. "
This analysis is really like a ladle of cold water, pouring Kublai Khan's heart cold, completely sober, quickly got up, bowed to Yao Shu deeply, and said: "please teach me how to protect myself!"
"The only way to solve this problem is for you to keep the military power on the ground of fighting in the Han area, give up the administrative power of the Han area on your own initiative, and appoint officials personally to manage the Han area. Only in this way can you be relieved. "Yao Shu replied.
Hao Jing stood up and said, "Mr. Yao is really insightful. This is a good idea. You should know that the king is not only the master of great achievements, but also the successor of the legendary" the fourth last words ". As the leader of the khanate, Khan will surely be suspicious of Kublai Khan. As long as he shows weakness, he can keep his peace for a while."
After listening to the two people's words, the original warm atmosphere suddenly became very cold.
Kublai Khan said: "I have just received the reward from Khan. Now I immediately refuse it to him. I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion."
"Don't worry, fourth prince. Mengge Khan is also a smart man. That will force you. Now, as long as you take the initiative to call out your general power, it is imperative. Doing so may also make your brotherhood good from beginning to end." Yao Shudao.
Kublai Khan said: "it should not be too late. Khan probably drank too much yesterday. This time, he should have just woken up. I'll go into the palace to see him now, taking advantage of how much he thinks."
"That's right, fourth prince. When you get to Khan, you only need to remember two words." Yao Shudao.
Kublai Khan asked: "where are the two sons?"
"The first word is affection, that is, family affection, and the second word is sincerity. To be exact, loyalty. As long as you do it, it will be easy to do." Yao Shudao.
Kublai Khan promised: "you can rest assured."
He got up and hurried to the camp of Mengo Khan.
Kublai Khan was right. Mengge did drink too much. When he got up, he was under the service of the maid in the Khan palace. He ate something to deal with the memorials from all over the world.
As he was eating, the servant of Khan palace came in from the outside and said that the fourth King Kublai Khan was visiting.
Hearing that Kublai Khan was coming, mengge was also stunned and said, "after the reward, he will not rest at home today and celebrate with his cronies. What is he doing here again? Is there something important happened?"
Thinking of this, he immediately called Kublai Khan in.
After Kublai's fourth Prince saluted mengge Khan, mengge asked him what was the matter.
Kublai Khan said: "Khan, after sobering up this morning, I think your reward to my younger brother is too heavy. In fact, this time you are able to ascend Khan's throne, because you have such ability."
"It's natural for you to be familiar with Han land and let you govern it. Besides, among Ben Khan's brothers, you can be said to be versatile in both literature and martial arts. In the future, if you want to completely conquer the Zhao and Song Dynasties, it's up to you. Considering this, Ben Khan will leave all the military and political power in Monan to you, so that you can show your ambition." Mengge Dahan road.
Kublai Khan said: "Khan, you have learned clearly that in fact, my younger brother is best at fighting in the battlefield. Once Zhao and Song dynasties are opened again in the future, my younger brother has no time to take care of the government affairs in southern desert. When I think of this, I come to Khan early. What I want to say is that my younger brother can help me with the military affairs in southern desert. As for the government affairs, I will take charge of it by myself It's good to appoint Lin Hanting's officials to directly manage it. "
mengge Khan is not stupid. After listening to Kublai Khan's words, he knew that Kublai Khan was afraid of being suspicious of him, or thought that he regretted sealing such a good area to him. He asked:" Kublai Khan, you are not worried that Ben Khan will listen to the slander of villains, because you are in a high position and harm you? ""How can it be? Elder brother, you know what you are. I do it for the sake of our brothers' friendship." Kublai said.
Seeing Kublai Khan's words to this extent, mengge Khan sighed, pretending to be a little sad: "Kublai Khan, Ben Khan always felt that our brothers had been estranged from each other since your elder brother and I became a big Khan, and we didn't have the same feeling when we worked together against wokuotai family. At that time, our family had a good relationship."
"In fact, our brotherhood is still the same, but now you are not only our elder brother, but also the whole Monggol Khan. You can't just consider our brothers. Khan also has the difficulty of sweating." Kublai said.
Mengge sighed and replied: "well, since you have this heart, Ben Khan will allow you to play. Ben Khan will be directly responsible for the administrative power of the southern desert area. After all the southern desert areas are pacified in the future, your burden will be lighter at that time, and then the administrative power will be returned to you. You are still stationed in Xingzhou, waiting for the opportunity."
"Thank you, Khan." Kublai Khan knelt down to the ground with relief.
Mengge personally picked up the fourth Prince Kublai Khan, looked at him and said, "you go, Ben Khan has other things to do."
Kublai Khan promised, then he turned back and went out.
As soon as he went out, he saw the seventh Prince Ali Buge, with a memorial in his hand. He also came to mengge in a hurry.
Surprised to see Kublai Khan appear so early in the palace of mengge Khan, he asked him what he was doing.
Kublai Khan said he came to mengge Khan to ask for instructions and left.
Looking at his back, Ali Buge, the seventh prince, said: "Kublai Khan, they say you are not good at flattering others. In fact, it's all fake. I just got drunk yesterday and came to flatter you today. I'm afraid you don't have any good intentions."
The servant standing at the door saw Ali Buge and said, "seven kings, you are here. Khan is waiting for you!"
"I see. Please take me in quickly." Ali doesn't care.
Under the guidance of the internal servant, Ali Bu Ge went into the Khan palace of mengge Khan.
At this time, mengge Khan was beginning to deal with the memorials sent by various places. Seeing that Ali Buge was coming, he asked, "seventh brother, you're here. Do you have any news?"
When the wokuotai family was in power in those years, they set up a "shadow army" to specialize in secret information, surveillance of ministers and other work that could not be carried out in public. The Torre family also suffered a lot, but Mengo also realized the great role of this kind of organization.
After he ascended the throne of Khan, considering that the "shadow Legion" had become infamous in the wokuotai family, if it continued to be used, I was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction with Lin Hanting's officials, so I would announce the abolition of this organization. However, Marco, a member of the "shadow Legion", did not dismiss him. Instead, he kept it and set up a new organization, called "goukao bureau" 。
On the surface, this organization is to assess the official achievements of this Mongolian official. In fact, it is just a cover. Their real purpose is to see officials from all over the country and to get information.
This proposal was made by the Hellgate master after accepting the invitation of mengge Khan. Originally, the Hellgate master wanted to control the "Examination Bureau" in his own hands and be responsible for it.
Although mengge Khan is using the master of hell, she is still on guard and doesn't agree to the master's request.
Kaoli repeatedly put the "Examination Bureau" in the charge of the seventh Prince Ali Buge. He also asked Princess Haas's brothers alandar and Liu Taiping to be the Deputy envoys of the "Examination Bureau" to assist the seventh Prince Ali Buge's work. Of course, there is another reason that can't be said. That is, mengge Khan worried that Ali Buge was playing tricks in secret and deceived himself. He set up two deputy envoys to help the seventh Prince Ali Buge It is to restrict Ali Buge and see whether he is loyal to himself.
For Princess Haas, mengge Khan had no feelings for him. When he married her, he said that he wanted to lose his temper with Princess Hai.
However, Princess Haas is very affectionate to mengge. She takes good care of mengge Khan's daily life, and the things behind the palace are well arranged. Even Princess TiNi is very satisfied with her, saying that the princess chosen by mengge Khan is the right one. She is really a virtuous one.
Thinking of this, mengge Khan felt very guilty, so he promoted alandar, the eldest brother of Princess Haas, to "dabijachi" and dealt with the government affairs with Lin Hanting together with the seventh prince.
After hearing about the appointment of mengge Khan, Princess Haas was strongly opposed.
Princess Hagrid will be very smart. But sooner or later, he will be very smart.
After hearing what Princess Haas said, mengge Khan thought that she had promoted her brother. Out of avoiding suspicion, he said some of his brother's shortcomings, hoping that he would not appoint alandar as "dabijachi".
Thinking of this, mengge was more determined to appoint alandar as "dabijachi" in spite of Princess Haas's opposition.Since he became "dabijachi", alandar has been loyal to mengge. He has always been resolute in carrying out the instructions of mengge Khan without any discount.
For this, mengge Khan also laughed that Princess Haas didn't know her brother, saying that she was not as familiar as an outsider.
When things got to this point, Princess Haas had no choice but to accept the fact that the only thing she could do was to let a-lan-da'er go to the palace frequently to warn him to be a good official.
After hearing mengge Khan's question, Ali Buge replied: "Khan, since you appointed Kublai Khan as the highest military and political leader of the Khanate of Monan, he was worried early this morning, and the Minister of culture and military under him began to celebrate. I heard that the scene was very warm. Do you think Kublai Khan is a little complacent. "
" seven younger brothers, you can't say that. The fourth younger brother just took charge of the whole Monan. It's human nature to celebrate. It's no surprise. " Mengge Dahan road.
Ali did not say: "Khan, you said that this is your generosity, but there is a more strange thing."
"What strange thing?" Asked Mengo Khan.
Ali Buge replied: "it is said that Kublai Khan, when they were happy, suddenly stopped their activities and came to chat with you at the suggestion of his subordinates. "
" yes, he came to Ben Khan, handed over the administrative jurisdiction of Monan, and demanded that Khan Ting still be in charge. "Said Montgomery Khan.
Ali Buge said: "this shows that Kublai Khan has ulterior motives.
" where do you say that? " Asked Montgomery, puzzled.
Ali Buge said: "Khan, think about it. Kublai Khan's biggest dream is to govern the Han land in the way of the Han people. Now you are in charge of all the Han land in Monan. This is a good opportunity for him to show his ambition, but he even returned the administrative power in Monan. It's not unreasonable. If I am Ali Buge, I will definitely not. I really want to retire Come back, it won't be true
This is another way to remind mengge. Mengge Khan thinks that what he said is also very reasonable. With Kublai Khan's intelligence and the planning of his advisers, it is very possible to make such an action.
"Brother, you can't hesitate any more. If you go on like this, you will be fooled by Kublai Khan sooner or later. It's better to take back Kublai Khan's military power as well." Ali doesn't care.
Mengge Khan thought for a moment and said, "now that the military of Monan has left Kublai Khan, it's still impossible. Can you command his generals? Certainly not. Now that he has handed over administrative power, let's wait until the south is completely pacified. “
