Chapter 91 four

As Zhenjin expected, on the day Kublai Khan returned to Beijing, he summoned him in the bedroom. Empress Nanbi served Kublai Khan and sat on the imperial bed in the palace.At this time, in the entire palace, except for Kublai Khan and Nanbi, only the guard Yue Chicha'er and other guards were standing on the main hall holding their breath. Zhenjin Shili met the father Khan and the queen, and then sat down in a chair that was always prepared for him.His eyes fell on Father Khan's face, and from the peaceful expressions of Father Khan and Queen Nanbi, he concluded that Father Khan did not know about the memorial.

Empress Nanbi walked down from the imperial couch gracefully, and personally made a cup of "Jade Mill Tea" for Zhenjin, which he had always liked the most. "Prince, let's have a cup of tea first to moisten your throat." Zhen Jin hastily bowed and saluted: "How dare you have Queen Lao?" Nanbi smiled tenderly, and waited until Zhenjin took the teacup, took a sip, and then returned to sit beside Kublai Khan.Nanbi's concern for real gold is definitely not a show. In fact, Nanbi knows better than anyone else. If Empress Chabi hadn't begged Kublai Khan to make her queen before her death, even if she got Kublai Khan's all kinds of favors may not necessarily be able to succeed the queen.She has always deeply remembered the friendship of Empress Chabi.What's more, there is a close blood relationship between her and Zhenjin after all, blood is thicker than water, so she has to pay attention to everything about Zhenjin from time to time.She may be an ambitious woman, but she is not an ambitious woman, because she has never made any effort to push the youngest son born to Kublai Khan to the position of Khan, and more often, She would rather follow the example of Queen Chabi and be a woman who can be a mother to the world and be loved and loved by all the people in the world.

"Zhenjin, why are you so pale? During my absence in Dadu, did you let the imperial doctor treat you well? I want you to come to discuss something with you." Zhenjin's heart felt sour, and he responded obediently: "My son understands, father sweats." "Not long ago, Yushi Zhongcheng replied that Gu A Sanzuo, please take back the case of internal and external officials, so that the world can bury money, banknotes and food. Because you are sick, I didn't let them bother you, and the reply is approved. I want you to come today, yes I hope you will hear the result with me."

"My son obeys." Kublai Khan signaled to the head of the guard with his eyes: "The answer is that Gu Asan will come and see you." The chief guard walked out of the palace pavilion, and hurriedly entered the newspaper: "Khan, Prime Minister Antong, Yuxi Timur, Yushi doctor, Yushi Zhongcheng Dajigu Asan, and Taifu Shaojian Shangwen are waiting for orders outside the palace. Meet the sweat!" "Oh? Did the four of them come together? Forget it, let An Tong, Yuxi Timur, and Shang Wen listen to Gu Asan's report together." After being summoned, Antong, Yuxi Timur, Dajigu Asan, and Shangwen filed in in order of rank, and knelt down under the imperial couch in two fronts and two backs to meet the Great Khan and the Empress.

Kublai Khan laughed loudly and said: "Everyone loves you, you are flat. Go and meet the prince." The answer is that Gu Asan looked up and saw the real gold, and was surprised.Helpless, she had to bite the bullet and meet the prince with An Tong, Yuxi Timur, and Shang Wen. "The answer is Gu Asan, you can start." Kublai Khan said. The answer was that Gu'a left the chair and knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "I dare not say it! Please forgive me!" "Don't dare to say? Why? Could it be that you retracted the internal and external officials' case and found out some obscure things? Tell me, I forgive you for your innocence."

The answer is that Gu Asan kept looking at the real gold from the corner of his eye, and then stammered for a while before saying: "No, sweat, I... I have ordered to take back... the case of the hundred officials, and... there is no Discovered something as obscure as the Great Khan said, but my... my minister did find something else." "Your words are very confusing to me, you'd better speak clearly." Kublai looked at him suspiciously. "It's... like this, Da Khan, my minister... During the process of clearing up the case of Baisi officials, I found a memorial that the Southern Tai Yushi had sealed and presented to Da Khan. This memorial is very... too..."

"It seems difficult for you to speak up? I said it, it's okay for you to speak up." "Yes. Zeng Fengzhang said: The age of the sweat is high, Yichan is in the crown prince, and the empress should not interfere in the government. This is the original memorial of Zeng Fengzhang." Answering that Gu Asan threw himself out, presented the memorial with both hands, and his voice sounded said clearly. Kublai Khan was really taken aback: "Really? Present it." Kublai Khan unfolded the memorial and quickly browsed through it, his face becoming more and more gloomy.After reading it, he angrily closed the memorial and slapped it heavily on the imperial case.

All the people in the dormitory suddenly felt the cold wind piercing through their bones. Zhen Jin sat upright, his expression normal. "Great Khan, Empress, I want to risk my life to impeach An Tong, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, and Yuxi Timur, the doctor of Yushi. They have already received the memorial, but they withheld it privately and refused to submit it to Khan. This is deceiving the emperor." I hope the Great Khan will clearly investigate the crime!" An Tong, Yuxi Timur, and Shang Wenli sat down and knelt down. An Tong calmly explained: "The Great Khan, the ministers are sure about the memorial. .”

Kublai Khan sneered: "Is this an excuse?" An Tong was still calm and composed: "The Khan said: If the officials and others present the memorial to the Khan, what will the Khan do?" Kublai Khan was stopped by the question and did not answer for a while. Yes, An Tong's question made some sense. Even if he really received this memorial, what should he do, and what can he do?He hadn't lost his mind yet, and he didn't have any reason to suspect that Zeng Fengzhang's actions were caused by his son because of Zeng Fengzhang's memorial.He is fully aware that his son is indifferent by nature and filial to his relatives. With such a character, how could he covet the Khan position?

However, if he doesn't pursue it this time, wouldn't it be the same as acquiescing and condoning this kind of outrageous thing?What's more, once this kind of precedent is set, those pedantic ministers will inevitably keep nagging in his ears again and again.Sooner or later, he will pass the throne to his son, but he will never tolerate anyone forcing him to abdicate in this way. Nanbi's calm voice broke the silence in the hall: "Khan, my concubine has no doubt that the prince has been ill all the time, and he must have no knowledge of what Zeng Fengzhang said. Zeng Fengzhang is a The censor of Nantai is responsible for rectifying the country's evils. It is reasonable for the Khan to favor his concubines and cause misunderstandings among the foreign ministers. Please calm down the Khan, and wait until the investigation is clear before making a judgment. What does the Khan think?"

Kublai Khan was stunned and said nothing, but his anger faded a little. An Tong and Yuxi Timur exchanged unexpected glances.They didn't expect that Queen Nanbi not only didn't feel disobedient about what Zeng Fengzhang had said, but instead took a clear stand on the side of the prince.The open-mindedness and rationality of the young queen eased their nervousness, because in this way, they did not need to risk their lives to remonstrate, and the situation had turned in favor of the prince. The answer is that Gu Asan is not.His heart and brain seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss together. In an instant, dense layers of cold sweat continued to emerge from the forehead, neck, armpits, spine, and even the palms and soles of his feet.Queen Nanbi's attitude is the bargaining chip for him to make this gamble with his wealth and life!According to his original idea, as long as he handed over the memorial to the Great Khan and the Empress, it would surely arouse the wrath of the old and suspicious Great Khan and the blamed Empress. , can logically direct all the angry spearheads from Antong and Yuxi Timur to Prince Zhenjin, so that the Great Khan has every reason to suspect that the memorial asking for his Zen throne is just a collusion between the prince and the powerful officials The directed farce.Once the real gold prince is suspected by his father because he has the intention of seizing the Khan throne, or even deposed, at that time, there will be Namuhan, the king of Beiping who holds military power and personal prestige second only to the real gold. The hope of entering the East Palace? Compared with Prince Zhenjin, who respected Confucianism, he would rather choose Namuhan, who is rough and strong, and Ahema is dead. Only then can it be realized.If it wasn't for this, why would he be willing to take such a risk and compete with the current prince with his head up? It's just that he really couldn't figure out how a good game of chess turned into a dead game just after making two moves? It seems that his miscalculation was that he had miscalculated from the very beginning the Khan's understanding of his son, and also miscalculated the nature and character of Queen Nanbi. Yuxi Timur played loudly: "Great Khan, I also have a memorial here. The ministers and others jointly impeached the remaining party of Ahema. Answer: Gu Asan and others have committed crimes of corruption, perverting the law, and deceiving the king. Browse." "Ahema Remnant Party? You said that Dajigu Asan is the Ahema Remnant Party?" "Exactly. The minister has solid evidence." Yuxi Timur handed the memorial to Yuechichaer, and Yuechichaer presented it to Kublai Khan.Kublai Khan read it carefully from the beginning to the end, and Long Yan felt furious, and threw the memorial on the ground: "The answer is Gu Asan, you are so bold!" The answer is that Gu Asan immediately collapsed on the ground, his face ashen: "Great Khan, Queen, minister... I am loyal, please learn from Khan and Queen!" Queen Nanbi didn't allow Answer Gu Asan to argue any more, "Come here, take Answer Answer Gu Asan!" Yuechi Cha'er readily agreed, and did it himself, and went forward to mention Gu Asan and dragged him outside the hall. "Great Khan, Empress, please forgive me!" The answer was that the wailing of Gu Asan begging for mercy gradually faded outside the hall, and Kublai Khan leaned on the imperial couch with a tired face, slightly closing his eyes.Nanbi persuaded softly: "The answer is how to deal with Gu Asan and his henchmen, and Nantai Yushi Zeng Fengzhang, it is better to leave it to the prince. I see that you are also tired, and the journey is exhausting. You haven't taken care of it. Going to rest." Kublai Khan didn't open his eyes: "That's fine, it's up to you. Zhenjin, you all should step back, and what to do with the rest, you can discuss with An Tong and Yuxi Timur, and you don't need to ask me about it." report." "Father Khan, don't worry, I will deal with it fairly! I will resign." "The minister waits to leave." The four Zhenjin quietly exited the dormitory.Just as they walked down the steps of the sleeping hall, An Tong, Yuxi Timur, and Shang Wen let out a deep breath almost at the same time. "It's dangerous!" Shangwen wiped the sweat from his brow, "Thanks to the queen." He sighed. An Tong and Yuxi Timur felt the same way.This time, it was really thanks to Queen Nanbi's knowledge that a man-made uproar that might affect the entire court was eliminated invisible. "Prince, are you not feeling well?" An Tong suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhen Jin trembling, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him. "It's okay. Keep your voices down, and don't disturb Father Khan and the Queen." Zhen Jin seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and urged him weakly. "But……" "It really doesn't matter. Send me back, there are some things we need to discuss." "Oh, good." An Tong didn't want to say more, but there were shocks in his body. Shang Wen looked at Yuxi Timur in bewilderment, but Yuxi Timur involuntarily avoided his gaze. Shangwen's heart suddenly lifted. A few days later, Dajigu Asan, a member of Ahema's remaining party, was executed for taking the stolen goods, and his accomplices were exiled or confiscated as slaves.Nantai censor once sealed the title and dismissed him from office to return to his hometown. After dealing with all the matters, Zhen Jin fell ill, but no one expected that this time, he never recovered.
