Without waiting for Kublai Khan to speak, Nangjiazhen said: "Of course we have to go, we Mongolian women can also fight." I have a thousand cavalry under my command to assist you. ”

Kublai Khan was caught off guard by Nangjiajin, but Nangjiazhen was right, the Mongols never distinguished between men and women. Even if the women were not on the battlefield, they had to herd sheep and wait on the men nearby, and the Mongols were accustomed to being soldiers.

Kublai Khan shook his head helplessly, and said: "If you want to go, go away, Nangjiazhen and Wanze will go, and when you come back, your affairs will be settled, and Cheng Yue can be his official with peace of mind." ”

When the two princesses heard this, they immediately had their own plans. Kublai Khan's words are very clear, and it all depends on how they get along with Cheng Yue after the expedition. After coming back, Cheng Yue had to make a choice, and the fate of the rest of their lives was decided from this.

Wan Ze lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly. Nang Jiazhen looked at Cheng Yue stupidly with a pair of beautiful eyes like a crescent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The ministers couldn't help but envy Cheng Yue's good fortune, but they couldn't compare with Cheng Yue, at most they could only envy it.

The night is getting deeper, the time of the palace ban has come, Kublai Khan is still unfinished, and wants to keep the ministers to continue drinking, Chabi is worried that he has drunk too much wine, Kublai Khan can't resist Chabi, or announces the dismissal.

The kings and their ministers stepped out of the harem and walked out of the palace.

Now Cheng Yue is the left secretary of the Chinese book, and the two princesses are vying to marry, which is hot. Officialdom is very realistic, and Zhongshu does not have any real power, but if it is Cheng Yuezai, it may be very different.

Cheng Yue's status, talent, and power far surpass those civil officials ranked above him, as long as he wants. Chinese books can still be impressive. It's a pity that he can't stay long. Otherwise, all the major forces in the court will have to make way for him.

Real Jin is the crown prince. is also a Zhongshu order, but he can't interfere in political affairs, and finally took over a job to spy on Cheng Yue's news, and also put his most beloved concubine in, and the fire in his heart can be imagined. But at this time, Kublai Khan let Cheng Yue serve as the Zhongshu Zuo Yu, but he gave Zhenjin a glimmer of hope.

Cheng Yue was in power in the Southern Song Dynasty, I don't know if he will be tough in Dayuan? If Cheng Yue wants to do something, will he tell himself first? If he plays it directly without even saying it, won't his Chinese book order become a joke?

Real gold does not dare to ignore it. walked up to Cheng Yue and greeted, "Cheng Zuocheng is polite." ”

Cheng Yue saw that Zhenjin was coming to him, and said with a smile: "The prince came just in time, and the minister has something to say to the prince." ”

Zhenjin smiled: "Oh? Cheng Zuocheng has something to say, I still have to rely on Cheng Zuocheng for this Chinese book order. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Don't dare, the prince is merciful, and the minister has already heard about it." What the minister wants to talk about is the Tutmoor incident, and there is one more thing that has not been dealt with. ”

Zhenjin thought for a while and said, "Cheng Zuocheng is talking about that woman?"

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Yes, that woman volunteered to stay by the minister's side as a maid, and the minister felt that she should first ask the prince for a favor in this matter." Does the prince think it's okay? “

Zhenjin smiled and said: "Cheng Zuocheng is too polite, do you want me to agree to accept a maid?" Even if you take it, it is. ”

Cheng Yue bowed his hand. Smile slightly.

Zhenjin said: "Cheng Zuocheng no matter what happens in the future, he can be open and honest with me, and I will do my best to help." ”

Cheng Yue understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Why should the prince's middle book be bothered by ministers? The minister is just picking up the missing and filling the gaps, of course, he must ask the prince for benefits in advance. Prince, you're going to court the day after tomorrow, right? ”

Zhenjin nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Zuo Cheng has something to do?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "The minister does have something, and I hope the prince will support him when the time comes." ”

Zhenjin glanced left and right, and whispered, "What is it, can you say it now?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "It's not a big deal, but I can't say it yet." ”

Zhenjin pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, no matter what it is, I support you." ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Thank you for the prince's trust in the minister." ”

Zhenjin smiled bitterly: "Between you and me, what are you doing so politely?" Everyone is a family, and everything is easy to discuss. Zhongshu has been silent for a long time, and I still count on you to cheer me up. ”

Cheng Yue saw that he was confident in himself, and he was no longer polite, and said: "Prince, when you go to court the day after tomorrow, let's see how I revitalize the Chinese book." At that time, the crown prince's support for the ministers could not tolerate the slightest hesitation, and then the Great Khan would inevitably be impressed by the prince. The prince remembered that the minister's recital had been discussed with the prince, and the minister's idea was to be inspired by the prince. ”

Zhenjin was in high spirits, looked around for a while, clapped his hands lightly, and said in a low voice: "Okay!" I listen to you in everything, don't hurt me. ”

Cheng Yue glared at Zhenjin dissatisfied, and said, "The prince doesn't trust my words, just because I didn't say what I said just now." ”

Zhenjin hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, of course I believe you." "Zhongshu has been inactive for a long time, and he is more anxious than anyone else.

Cheng Yue snorted and said, "That's good, the prince remembers my words, don't reveal them to others first." ”

Zhenjin understood Cheng Yue's domineering, and he didn't even care about him, the prince, and quickly nodded yes. From the perspective of the people next to him, Cheng Yue looks like a Chinese book order. But Zhenjin is not angry, he has now put all his hopes on Cheng Yue, and he doesn't care about Cheng Yue's attitude towards him, not to mention that he really lost his words just now.

Seeing that Zhenjin was trying to curry favor with Cheng Yue, Li Yao, the governor of the council, sneered, and whispered to Ahma: "Pingzhang, Zhenjin is fast enough, and he will immediately collude with Cheng Yue, does he really think that with Cheng Yue, he can seize the power of Shangshu Province?" Dream! ”

Ahma didn't answer, looked at the backs of Zhenjin and Cheng Yue with a gloomy face for a long time, and asked Zhang Huidao: "Cheng Yue did promise to come tomorrow, right?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "It's true, although Cheng Yue is cunning, he hasn't repented about what he promised, Pingzhang rest assured." ”

Ahmad sighed and said, "You see, Zhenjin is the respect of the prince, and he welcomes Cheng Yue with his will, who can't see what he thinks?" Cheng Yue is unfathomable, even the Great Khan is quite jealous of him, can we still underestimate him? Do you see how powerful he is today? Does the DPRK still dare to disobey him now? Cheng Yue seemed to lose his temper with the prince just now, but the prince still nodded his head, what do you think, where did Cheng Yue get angry? It must be that Cheng Yue already has an idea, and the prince is impatient to ask him for advice. We will go to court the day after tomorrow, and if we don't figure out Cheng Yue's thoughts, we will be in danger. If he has a recital, it is the first recital of his Zhongshu Zuocheng, do you guess that the Great Khan will not allow it? ”

The crowd on Ahma's left and right listened in horror and broke out in a cold sweat. Governor Mai Shududing wiped the sweat on his face and asked anxiously: "Pingzhang, then you have to entertain Cheng Yue well tomorrow, I don't know what his preferences are?" ”

Ahmada smiled faintly and said, "He controls the land of the Southern Song Dynasty, he has everything, and he doesn't care about wealth and vulgar things at all." I don't usually have many preferences, but the best is still female. ”

Zhang Hui immediately said: "When Xia Guan went to Cheng Yue's mansion, I saw that the two managers around Cheng Yue were women, although they were a little older, they were still beautiful and outstanding. Also, the minister saw Cheng Yue accepting a concubine with his own eyes, and he was even more beautiful. Hehe, don't hide it from your lords, the lower officials still don't forget it. It can be seen that if you want Cheng Yue to appreciate it, you must have a beautiful woman. ”

Ahma let out a "hmm" and said, "Where can I find such a suitable fit in a hurry?" I have my own ideas, how can I not let Cheng Yue be hostile to us, people like him can't be provoked casually, send him away safely, and we will be safe. ”

Everyone nodded yes again and again, and made an appointment tomorrow to go to Ahma's house to entertain Cheng Yue.

After Cheng Yue finished discussing with Zhenjin, he walked forward, and just as Totok was about to catch up, a large group of Confucian scholars surrounded Cheng Yue again.

Cheng Yue looked around, and the few people who took the lead recognized them during the day, namely Xu Heng, Yao Shu and Dou Mo, all of whom were famous Confucians in history.

Since Cheng Yue arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, the great Confucians have seen countless things, and they have long lost the excitement when they first met Wen Tianxiang, and they only saluted each other and said a few words of admiration. Now seeing them surrounding again, I couldn't help but wonder a little, and said with a smile: "What advice do you have?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Dou Mo said: "Lord Zuo Cheng, the lower officials have something to ask for, I don't know if Lord Zuo Cheng is willing to listen?" ”

Cheng Yue was stunned: "Say it here?" There's no need to be in such a hurry, right? ”

Xu Heng said: "Xia Guan heard that Lord Zuo Cheng is going to be a guest at Lord Pingzhang tomorrow, and he will go to the court the day after tomorrow, so he is really urgent, so he has to say it here." ”

Cheng Yue shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "Okay, adults, please speak, I'll listen to you." ”

Yao Shu, who was seventy-five years old and had a white beard, was the leader of these great Confucians, and was a scholar of the Zhaowen Temple at the time. He had made great contributions to Kublai Khan, but he was finally left out in the cold because of the inopportune times. Cheng Yue's current Zhongshu Zuo Cheng was also Yao Shu's old position.

Yao Shu coughed lightly and said, "Lord Zuo Cheng, the day after tomorrow, Lord Zuo Cheng will go to court, there must be a concerto, right?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Yes, I already have a manuscript." ”

Yao Shu said: "Can you say anything to us?" ”

Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "No, I didn't even say anything about the prince." ”

Yao Shu said: "That...... The lower officials have something to ask for, can you ask Lord Zuo Cheng to add a few lines to the lower officials' recital? ”

Cheng Yue said: "No, if the bachelor has something, he will say directly to the Great Khan, don't pass through my mouth." ”

Yao Shu didn't give up, and said: "Lord Zuo Cheng's letter is comparable to dozens of letters from me, and it is beneficial to the country and the people, can you allow the officials to say a few words?" ”

Cheng Yue shook his head resolutely and said, "It's not that I'm unkind, but I have my own things to do, and I can't be disrupted by you." What you want to say through my mouth must be difficult, and I don't want to give others a reason to attack and thus delay my business, do you understand? (To be continued......)
