Chapter 85 The Khan Sick Ministers are in turmoil, and the conspiracy in the Yuan Court is surging
Hala and Lin were built by the present-day Khan Okodai, and its land is located next to Erdeni Zhao on the right bank of the upper reaches of the Erkhon River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it is located in the center of the Mongolian Plateau, whenever spring and summer are approaching, there is snow melting from the Erkhon River flowing through this place, irrigating the land here, so although it is on the desert, it is still densely forested and prosperous.
At that time, because of the strength of Mongolia, Hala and Lin became one of the world's famous cities at that time, and kings, envoys, priests, and merchants from all over the world visited.
In addition to the Mongols, the Han Chinese, the Khitans and even the Jurchens and the Dangxiang all existed, and there were countless people who came from afar, such as the Semu, Rome, Persia, etc.
And their arrival has also created a unique scene for this city.
Within the capital, which was about four miles long and two miles wide, the inhabitants of the city adhered to the precepts established by the Heavenly Khan, imprinted the legends of their own culture and their own records of the whole world.
There are not only the official mansions that imitate the northern high-rise compounds, but also the Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and even mosques, Christian churches and other buildings are also countless, the elegance and harmony of the Chinese garden, the solemnity and grandeur of the Buddhist temple, the quiet nature of the Taoist temple, the purity and innocence of the mosque and even the sacred solemnity of the Christian church, all kinds of architectural styles gather together, it is really a wonder.
And it was their arrival that brought about extraordinary development in the city.
Thanks to their efforts, this land, which had been occupied by the Han several times but had never been able to control it, began to grow vigorous crops. On the vast plains, white sheep and horses continue to migrate along the rushing river, which also provides a strong impetus for the city. The craftsmen who were raided by the Mongols also began to contribute their ingenuity and built countless buildings on the originally uninhabited plateau.
Scholars from all walks of life in Eurasia came together to intersect ideas and generate grand ideas and inspirations, and their ingenuity was eventually adopted by the Mongol Khan, which became the driving force for the entire empire
It can be said that Hara and Lin were the veritable political, economic, and cultural centers of the Mongol Empire.
It is precisely for this reason that there are various records in many scholars' books.
For example, Wang Yun said in the "Preface to the Poems of Fan Jun and Lin Yuanxing", "The country is rejuvenating the king's land, building Zhongxia according to the upstream, controlling the right arm and choking the Western Regions, and the plate is gloomy, which is a metropolis of Shuotu." ”
Yu Ji's "Daoyuan Lu, Sending Su Zining to the North Poem Preface": "Control the key points, and the north is a heavy domain." "There are also ministers who appease the managers, and the wealth is greater than that of the metropolis. Scholars are not promoted, Jia has no gains, and the lucky people rush to it. ”
Liu Guan's "Liu Beizhi Anthology, Su Zhidao Tomb Inscription": Since you traveled to Beijing to steal from the courtiers and governors, one or two words: "The land of the forest is fertile, the river is instilled left and right, and it is advisable to plant millet and wheat. Cover the desert of Yin Mountain, thousands of miles in Yinan, control the situation, this is important. ”
Zhu Siben's "Zhenyi Zhai Manuscript and Ning Interpretation": "He Ning is the Ha Thorn He Lin, which is the place of the first capital of the Holy Martial Arts, and is now the provincial seat of the northern line of Ling, often with the old and important ministers as it, and the outer kings and stars are lined up, and they control the Western Regions with the domain Shuo Fang, and they are a huge town cloud. ”
The key to this city can be seen.
Today, however, the city's de facto controller, Ogedai, still feels more than he can handle.
It has been more than ten years since he took charge of the empire, and the empire's land has multiplied, and even the former Mongol rivals Western Xia and the Jin Dynasty have completely collapsed and ceased to exist under his command. Since he had solved the great problem of his henchmen, Ogedai ordered to concentrate all his efforts on the westward expedition, and along the way, the troops were invincible, and all the countries of Central Asia were slaughtered, and the heroes of Europa were restrained, even the Persian Empire of West Asia was also trembling, lest it anger this huge empire across the Eurasian continent.
However, in the Wan'an Palace, Ögedai, the de facto ruler of the Mongol Empire, lay on the bed with a pale face and a dejected face, his former vigorous body long decayed, and it seemed that it could no longer support his ambitions.
The inheritor of the Immortal Heaven seems to have also stepped into the end of his life.
The Mongols expanded too rapidly, and in less than a decade they had grown from a loose tribe that once prostrated under the Jin Dynasty to a vast empire with an area of tens of thousands of miles, and the power of the Immortal Heaven continued to expand, far beyond the limits of any mortal's bearing.
Wokotai's prestige and strength have reached its peak, but he has been unable to control the Immortal Heaven, the destruction of time has made his body begin to decay, and the power of the Immortal Heaven has increased this burden, so that he has to lie on the ground, sighing at the power of time.
Humanity can create greatness, but time can destroy everything, and this is true of the Mongol Empire, and the same is true of Ögedei.
Maybe for those ministers and generals who are still in the main hall outside the Wan'an Palace, his orders can decide everything, but his life at the moment needs to rely on the help of the women around him to continue to maintain.
Namazhen-Tregona, she knew very well what kind of existence the man in front of her was, a word could decide the life and death of a nation, and a look could subvert the survival of a country, but now she could only lie in the crook of her arm, relying on the mare's milk that she had fed herself, to continue to sustain life.
After the mare's milk in his hand was drunk, Ogedai finally barely opened his eyes.
He glanced at the woman next to him, his gentle eyes and the strong arms, just like his mother who fed him when he was a child, which made people feel nostalgic and warm, but outside the Wan'an Palace, the matter has not yet been completed, the red thieves in the Central Plains are still gone, and the Song Dynasty, which has always resisted the Mongol southern expedition, is still tenacious, and the countries of Europa on the other side of the continent seem to have begun to gather to fight against the Mongol army, and the Persian Empire, which has been in the desert for a long time, is also ready to move, waiting for its opponent to show its weakness......
Although the Mongol Empire was strong, the enemy still existed, and it was far from the time to rest.
"Namajin, when I was asleep, did you know my people, what were they worried about, my opponents, what are they doing now?" Okotai took a deep breath, and finally recovered a little, and his face recovered a little.
He knew that this empire could not live without itself for a day.
Naima Zhen's eyebrows were tightened, there was worry in her eyes, and she said loudly: "Khan! concubine, concubine ......body, concubine body" After muttering two sentences, her face showed a little apprehension, and she sighed again: "The concubine body really dare not say it." ”
"Why don't you dare?"
Wo Kotai smiled bitterly, took advantage of the situation and handed out his hand to hold Naima Zhen, and said with a smile: "You are the queen I announced to the whole world and canonized, what can't you say?"
Naimajin hurriedly instructed the maid next to her to bring the potion, and she hurriedly drank the potion to help Wokotai drink it, and then she showed some happiness.
She poked at Ogedei's chest, and then became angry: "How dare I say that you are like Khan, if I hear what those people are doing, I am afraid that you will not be able to support it now." Although it is pretending to be angry, it also has its own shyness, but it makes people feel warm in their hearts.
"Haha. I'm not so fragile that I can't even hear a few words. Wokotai laughed, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you sure that you can defeat me in just a few words?"
Naimajin smiled angrily, and then replied, "That's right, but I said you can't blame me." ”
"Of course. Wokotai replied: "Tell me, what happened?"
"Alas. It's hard to put into words. Naima Zhen sighed loudly, "Let's talk about the Red Phoenix Army first, although your two nephews are powerful, they once killed demons and demons in the Jinghai generation, but after that, the red thief came back again, and now they are eyeing the Yidu Mansion directly, and they are even united with the Southern Dynasty, saying that they want to drive us out of the Central Plains! Except for the two veterans of Chagatai who will continue to lead the army of the Western Expedition, the rest of them are preparing to return, saying that they will hold the next Kuritai Conference and screen out the next Great Khan. ”
"What?"
When he heard the news at first glance, Wokotai was shocked.
It seemed that he was affected by this news, and he even coughed repeatedly, which was difficult to control at all.
Naima's face was slightly angry, his left hand kept stroking the back of Okotai, and the back hand gently hammered on his chest, so that the blood and qi in his body could be calmed down so as not to hurt himself, and he said angrily: "I said that you can't listen, you have to listen." Isn't this a sin?"
Wo Kotai pursed his lips tightly, muttering as if he was going to say something, but he felt a lot of sadness in his heart, and finally turned into a long sigh.
"Alas!"
This sigh seemed to exhaust his helplessness at this time.
In the past, the great king who was invincible and had hundreds of thousands of people under his command, but now he can only lie on this wide mattress and pill the softest pillow, that is, he can't do everything by himself, and he can only rely on the closest queen to barely survive.
Such a scene really made Wokotai extremely uncomfortable.
"Then Yelu Chucai once told you that you should not drink too much on weekdays and take care of your body more, but it's a pity that you just don't listen, and now you know that you have suffered a sin?"
Since the destruction of Jin, Wokotai has always only sent the general of the court to lead the army to attack the city because he was afraid of the pain of the conquest, and he built this Hara and forest, and hid in the Wan'an Palace every day, drinking and having fun, and indulging in women's sex.
When he returned to the palace a few days ago, he drank a few more glasses of wine because of greed, but it caused internal injuries, and even let the immortal heaven eat himself, and almost collapsed himself, but fortunately, he was taken care of by Naima, and he woke up from the coma.
Now seeing that the old habits of Wokotai have not changed, Naima is really a little angry.
Wokotai listened to the awkwardness and snorted lightly: "It's just a little bit of wine, how can it hurt me who has been blessed by the Immortal Heaven?"
"Is it just the smell of alcohol? Even if your body is like iron, how can you stand the entanglement of those concubines? In my opinion, your concubines might as well be driven out early, so as not to continue to harass you and wake up like this?"
She is also a woman, although she knows that all kings are lustful and lascivious, and the concubines and women she accepts are not the only ones who plan to do it, but in the jealousy of women, it is still difficult to agree with this action.
At this time, Naimajin would never have done such a move if he had no other purpose.
"What a woman thinks! Wokotai frowned, ignored it, only waved his hand, and immediately commanded the maid beside him: "Go and get my clothes, and I will hold a court meeting here to see what those guys have done during the time I have been asleep." After putting on his clothes, he walked out of the Wan'an Palace and came to the court where all the ministers gathered.
Sweeping over Meng Ge, who was standing solemnly, Wo Kotai was immediately angry, and shouted: "Meng Ge, didn't I tell you to exterminate the red thief? Why did the red thief not be exterminated, but continued to entangle?"
"Your Highness. Meng Ge's expression did not move, and he opened his mouth and replied: "That Xiao Feng has been."
