Chapter 778 Implicated
Yanjing.

The imperial palace was built when it was still in the Kingdom of Jin. After the war of destroying Jin, it has been destroyed badly.

Yeluzhu walked through the Yingtian Gate and saw An Tong.

An Tong is only 14 years old this year, but he became the head of the school when he was 13 years old.

In other words, the world-renowned Cowardly Xue Army and Kublai Khan's Suwei Army were commanded by this little boy.

Because the commander-in-chief of the Qixue army is hereditary from the descendants of the four founding heroes of Mongolia, Borhu, Bormu, Muhuali, and Chikaowen.

And An Tong is the great-grandson of Mu Huali, and his mother is the sister of Empress Chabi. He is the most loved by Kublai Khan among Mu Huali's innumerable descendants.

Commanding an army at the age of 13 was unbelievable in the Song Dynasty, but in the Mongolian Kingdom, only a word from Kublai Khan was needed.

The 41-year-old Yeluzhu was very polite to the 14-year-old An Tong.

"Chief Xue, I'm here to see Your Majesty."

"I'll lead the prime minister in, and the Great Khan will be there soon." An Tong said, "The Great Khan asked me to participate in the discussion, because the news of the suppression of Li Fen's rebellion came back."

Although he is young, his speech is rigid.

Yeluzhu didn't dare to treat him like a child, and said solemnly, "Li Fen's rebellion is like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples."

Both of them spoke Mongolian, and they chattered all the way. When they entered the Da'an Hall, they saw that Kublai Khan hadn't come yet, and there were several important ministers standing in the hall.

Tachaer, Hulubuhua, Kuduchaer, Xianzhen...

Yeluzhu then found that he was the only person present who advocated Sinology.

He is the son of Yelu Chucai, and his mother Su Shi is a descendant of Su Shi.

But although he advocated Sinology, his loyalty to Kublai Khan cannot be questioned.

Yelu Chucai supported Genghis Khan and Wo Kuotai's father and son. Therefore, Yeluzhu served Wo Kuotai's grandson Shi Liemen since he was a child.

When Mengge succeeded to the throne, Yeluzhu was involved in the rebellion case of Shiliemen and was almost executed, but Kublai Khan rescued him.

Although Yeluzhu is a Khitan, to be able to stand here today is actually equivalent to a Mongol.

There was a map on the main hall, and these important Mongolian ministers stood by the map.

Seeing that everyone was here, An Tong pointed to the map and introduced the current situation.

This is to let the important ministers know all the information they should know before Kublai Khan arrives, so as not to say it again.

The reason why it was introduced by An Tong was because Kublai Khan really planned to appoint him as prime minister in two years.

Although An Tong was only 14 years old, he had no stage fright, and he started to preside over the discussion according to the intelligence information.

"After Shi Tianze cut off Li Fen's head, Li Yanjian, who was guarding Yidu City, committed suicide, and the others opened the city gate and surrendered..."

Tachar heard this, stopped An Tong, and asked, "Where are my sister and her son?"

Li Fen had many sons, but only one was born to Tacha'er's sister, named Li Fengshan.

An Tong looked at the battle report and said, "Shi Tianze picked them up from Yidu."

"Okay, kill all the others."

"Killed, only escaped one Li Qishan, who was born by the Wang family..."

"Then go after them and kill them."

"He escaped from Old Haicheng..."

Tachar was furious.

He was the one who wanted to kill Li Fen the most among all the people present.

The reason why he married his younger sister to Li Fen was because his status was very low back then.

Tachar's grandfather was Genghis Khan's youngest brother, Tiemu Gewo Chijin, who was executed for rebelling against Guiyu Khan.At that time, the private households of the Shandong generation were enfeoffed to Temu Gewo Chijin, and Tacha'er chose to marry Li Fen in order to ensure this benefit.

After Mengge Khan succeeded to the throne, he made a fortune, and he had long regretted it.

Up to now, it is even more wishful to pretend that there is no such thing.

"Where did you escape to? Song Dynasty? Go south and kill..."

Hulu Buhua had already shouted: "Don't talk about these trivial matters, Hebichi and Shi Tianze will take care of them. What the Great Khan called us to discuss today is more important."

"The purpose is to take back the military power from the Han people?"

An Tong finally got rid of Tacha'er's entanglement, and said: "Yes, but the Great Khan summoned you today because A Shu was wiped out by Li Xia in Guanlong."

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then there was an exclamation.

"impossible!"

"A Shu from the Wuliangha tribe, a descendant of Subotai, how could it be possible for a Han to..."

suddenly.

"Wuliang Hetai also died at the hands of this Han! Tachaer, put away your arrogance overflowing like a river, and face this enemy squarely!"

With this shout, their sweat finally reached the hall.

……

The previous generations of Great Khans, Wokuotai, and Guiyou of the Great Mongol Kingdom were all tyrannical and greedy people, but they always drank wine as soon as they sat down to discuss, wishing to get drunk to death before the discussion was over.

Kublai Khan was different. He was calm and resolute. After entering the hall, he didn't sit up first, but walked directly to the crowd.

Everyone unconsciously bowed their heads because of the majesty of the sweat.

Kublai Khan was 47 years old at the time, just in his prime, and his every move seemed so powerful.

He pointed to the locations of Jinan and Yidu on the map, and directly talked about political affairs.

"Li Fen's rebellion had a great impact, implicating many Han princes..."

With this sentence, fingertips swept over Dongping, Haozhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Nanyang, Taiyuan, Baozhou...

This sentence made these people in the hall understand the seriousness of the situation.

Kublai Khan did not let these most loyal courtiers guess, and soon, he clearly stated what he wanted.

"Brother Ali has not been completely resolved yet, and Li Xia is making trouble in the southwest. If these Han people are pursued too much, they are likely to be turned against them. There is a saying among the Han people that a dog will jump a wall in a hurry, and a rabbit will bite a person in a hurry. .”

This is showing his position to his Mongolian forces.

Take the lead and set the tone, lest these Mongolian ministers keep clamoring to suppress the Han people.

Sure enough, Hulu Buhua immediately shouted: "My great Khan, you are too tolerant of these Han people!"

"The Great Khan has wise considerations." Yeluzhu replied, "The Longevity God bestowed the Great Khan with incomparable wisdom, so you don't need to question him."

In fact, he is a Taoist, but he still uses the immortality to stop Hulu Buhua's mouth.

Hulu Buhua shut his mouth, and then Kublai Khan said: "You say that I am too tolerant, but I tell you, governing the country should be like dividing beef, one knife at a time and slowly."

"Khan, I was too anxious." Hulu Buhua said.

Although Kublai Khan had an idea in mind, he still looked around at the crowd and said, "Tell me, what should you do?"

Tachaer said: "The Great Khan will attack Brother Alibu again, but if the kings ask the Great Khan how to guarantee their interests, what should we do? The Han people must be suppressed."

He was originally sent by Mengge to replace Kublai Khan in the military power of Monan, but after Mengge died, he was the first Zongwang to support Kublai Khan, so he was very confident.

Lu Yezhu said: "The fiefdoms of the kings and the five households will not change, and their accounts and property can be preserved. The promise of the Great Khan is as precious as gold. There is nothing unbelievable."

"I'm afraid they will see Da Khan take action."

"Yes, Li Fen dared to launch such a rebellion. If the Great Khan doesn't deal with the Han people, how can he convince the kings?"

"Brother Alibu will accuse our Great Khan of being a traitor to Mongolia again..."

"The Han people have gone too far in recent years..."

"enough!"

An Tong came out with his sword in his hand, and shouted, "The Great Khan has called you here to come up with ideas instead of arguing!"

He is cowardly, and he was able to enter the palace with a sword. At this time, his face was serious, very majestic.

Tachar bowed his head and stopped talking.

He was very loud when he shouted, but when it came time to make an idea, he was silent.

Kublai Khan turned his head to look at An Tong, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, he was very satisfied with this child.

In fact, whether it is Mongolian, Huihui, Khitan, Jurchen or Han, what he values ​​more is loyalty.

As for the implementation of the Han system or the old system, what is it compared to the loyalty of the courtiers?
In other words, only he, Kublai Khan, is the most important.

This is also his benevolence to various tribes.

It was Yeluzhu who stood up and said, "Great Khan, I don't think we should continue to pursue the princes, but continue to treat them preferentially. But we must also use their current mentality of insecurity to weaken their strength little by little..."

It is very uncomfortable to say these things in Mongolian. Although Yeluzhu's Mongolian is excellent, he still feels that many words are insufficient.

"You can separate the civil affairs and military affairs under the rule of the Marquis; change the territory where the Marquis is located; promote them to high-ranking officials... This matter should be delayed rather than urgent."

This was what Kublai Khan thought in his heart. After Yeluzhu said it, he looked around at the people in the hall and saw that no one objected, so he asked, "What do you think should be done for a prince like Yan Zhongji?"

"You can be recruited back to the court to serve as the prime minister."

"What if he thinks I want to take his military power?"

"Their children can continue to control the military power." Yeluzhu replied: "Continue to appoint their children, and the Great Khan will be able to select the most loyal group of them."

Kublai Khan thought so, and asked someone to send several letters to Yeluzhu.

"Do you think Zhang Honglue colluded with Li Fen?"

Yeluzhu looked at it for a while, and what he saw was that the correspondence between Zhang Honglue and Li Fen was from beginning to end to persuade Li Fen not to rebel.

On the surface, Zhang Honglue is very loyal.

But compared to Li Heng, Zhang Honglue's act of not reporting what he knew, but pretending to be loyal... can be said to be utterly disgusting.

Thinking about Zhang Hongdao's surrender to Li Xia, too many people in the Zhang family are no longer trustworthy.

Yeluzhu said: "The Zhang family is a typical example of Han princes, watching the current situation in secret. I think the Great Khan should give Zhang Rou the title of Duke, remove Zhang Honglue's military power, transfer him back to the capital, and give him crowns and uniforms." Let's enjoy the banquet. Then pick out the most loyal disciples from the Zhang family's children, Ren Shuntian's military and civilian households..."

"Who do you think is the most loyal?"

"Zhang Hongfan."

Yeluzhu didn't hesitate too much, Zhang Jiulang's loyalty can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

This is an interpretation of his method. By promoting the noble titles and official positions of the princes, moving them back to the court, and selecting their children to succeed them, these young people can be better handled.

Kublai Khan was generally satisfied with this method, took a few steps, turned his head, and said, "Don't forget that there is Li Xia in the southwest, what if the dog is forced to jump over the wall to throw Li Xia?"
