Chapter 13 three

In the sixth year of Mengge Khan (1256), Mengge sent his trusted ministers Alan Daer and Liu Taiping to the Guanzhong area to "goukao" (audit) Qiangu. In addition, he has the right to kill other Han princes and Guanzhong and Henan officials appointed by Kublai Khan.Kublai Khan's situation was precarious.However, Alan Da'er is not a simple-minded reckless person. According to the decree of Mengge Khan, although he has the right to kill the officials of "Hou Kao", he is afraid of the aggressive Kublai Khan after all, and dare not attack easily . During the "hook test", A Lan and Liu Taiping made up charges, and most officials of the feudal government were imprisoned. However, Liu Taiping was false and refused to directly express his attitude when he was convicted and sentencing.In desperation, Alan Da'er brought out Lian Xixian and Yao Shu from the prison, and went to Kaiping Mansion at night.

Under the dim light, Kublai Khan stared for a long time at the two confidant ministers who had been imprisoned because of their loyalty to himself and his career, and felt a kind of helpless anger and profound humiliation deep in his heart. "Your Highness, these two people have abused their authority in Shaanxi and acted recklessly. Gentlemen, merchants, princes and nobles have many lawsuits. Liu Taiping and I have been ordered to 'hook up' this time, intending to take them both first and clean up the discipline." Alan answered first. , all stern.Kublai Khan appointed Lian Xixian as the Propaganda Envoy who stayed behind in Jingzhao not long after his triumphant return to Dali. These two people are his right-hand men.

"You are the minister of Mengge Khan's order, and you have the privilege of killing without authorization. But, Alan Daer, don't talk nonsense in my palace! What are the crimes of Lian Xixian and Yao Shu! They belong to the Mongol Empire. You want to kill the heroes in vain, and your intentions are so vicious!" Kublai Khan saw that Alan Da'er had created something out of nothing, and he couldn't help being furious, holding his sword in his hand and shouting sharply, "After Lian Xixian took office, he will destroy the rape and rape without any scruples." , some rich merchants and noble princes gave loans to the common people, charging several times the interest, causing the common people to sell their sons and daughters to repay their debts. Xixian ordered that although the years are long, only one loan and one interest will be paid back, and the huge profits will be avoided. The common people are grateful. Xixian Xian suggested that I issue an imperial edict, that Quanhao should not buy Confucian scholars as slaves, and the vassal government paid for the ransom. Quanhao objected, and Lian Xixian enforced it according to the edict, and released them all as good people. He set up schools, spread his voice, and recruited great Confucian scholars Xu Heng is a professor and recommends Jingzhao to study. The Jingzhao area is governed, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the economy is prosperous, and the culture is developed, which shows the charm of the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties."

Kublai Khan vented the depression that had been pent up in his chest for nearly a year in one breath, put his sword back into the scabbard, and continued to defend Yao Shu: "Despite the serious illness, Yao Shu went to the counties of eight states and ordered him to pay attention to agriculture. Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, Guanzhong has been destroyed by wars, the city walls have been depressed, and there are no traces of people. After two years of governance, the political and economic conditions have improved greatly, and Confucianism education has also been restored quickly. These achievements are obvious to all. Are you the one? Don't know?"

"Your Highness, I am acting according to the order, and I can't help myself. Currently in Harahelin, the memorial to impeach you is flying to Wan'an Palace like snowflakes. You can make up your own mind about where to go. Besides, if you don't kill a few, It is difficult for me to return my order when I go back. It has been verified that officials of Shaanxi, Henan Economic and Strategy Departments and other institutions have been convicted of 142 crimes, and I have the right to execute all officials after the hook-up examination is over!" "Don't even think about it!" Kublai Khan was furious, "If you want to kill me, kill me first!" He drew his sword and threw it in front of Alan Da'er, "I will return north to Khala Horin in a few days, meet Mengge Khan, and tell him personally What did Liu Taiping and you do!"

Alan replied with fear, and his attitude was not as tough as before. After all, Meng Ge Khan and Kublai Khan are brothers of the same mother. If they kill Kublai Khan's staff too much, I'm afraid it will cause suspicion and opposition from the kings. The king will also put him to death for various reasons.Considering this, Alan Da'er suddenly felt bursts of cold sweat on his body, and at the same time felt grateful for his decision to go to Kaiping Mansion at night to test Kublai Khan's falsehood. It's dangerous!This is a dangerous move, if you are negligent, you will lose your wealth and life!Alan replied in her heart, Liu Taiping, you son of a bitch, no wonder you refused to express your opinion, so you kept a hand.You have a good idea, you will be a good person, and I will be a wicked person?I'm not that stupid.Alan Da'er hated Liu Taiping quite a bit at this time, even though the two of them were "hooked up" by Brother Meng's decree, but in Shaanxi and Henan he did see the aspirations of the people and the prosperity of the economy.For personal benefit, the cunning Alan Da'er had to leave a way out for himself like Liu Taiping.

"Your Highness, please calm down. I'm just doing this for the benefit of the empire and implementing the Great Khan's decree." "Nonsense!" Kublai Khan was furious, "You have already killed several officials of my royal family, and you want to kill my close advisers. Could it be that you intend to cut off my left and right arms!" Alan replied that he was at a loss for words, and got up to say goodbye: "It's getting late, I'll go back to the post to rest first, and tomorrow I will formally test the money valley in the Central Plains."

Kublai Khan was also polite: "See off the guests as you like!" Alan Da'er left behind Lian Xixian and Yao Shu, and returned to the palace post in despair with a group of entourage. Outside the Kaiping Mansion, the moonlight was like blue, and a cool breeze blew up in the wilderness.
