For several days, Kublai Khan was in a very depressed mood.
It's not that he regretted killing Naiyan.
There was no word of tolerance in the grassland's rules of survival.
Naiyan was defeated.
Kublai Khan could put him in a horsehide bag and let him die without bleeding, just like Genghis Khan executed Jamuhe.
It was already very merciful.
No matter whether he or she sympathized with Naiyan or not, he was very kind.
Can't fault anything in the way it was handled.
What made Kublai Khan depressed was what Naiyan said before he died, about "the hilt of the knife is in your majesty's hand".
It seemed that he, Kublai Khan, was the first to instigate this fratricide among the golden families.
General.
And the sentence "Before God, you and I are equal" is even more nonsense.
The Han people believe that "there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country".
The Mongolians believe that "a wolf with two heads will not live long".
They are proficient in both.
Kublai Khan, who was the essence of a nation's machinations, firmly believed that any nation must be led by its elite in order to go further.
As for the elites eating more, occupying more, and blatantly grabbing more from their families, that's all what they should do.
After all, their role is far greater than that of ordinary people.
But the word "equality" is like poisonous honey, attracting so many people to die.
On the northern grasslands, there were still people such as Shidu'er, Nahar, Hadan Xiurugan and others who would rather die in battle than surrender to Kublai Khan.
In the south, thousands of Han, Jurchen, Khitan and Dangxiang people gathered under Wen Tianxiang's battle flag.
Thinking of the fires of resistance that were ignited everywhere, Kublai Khan could no longer hold back his anger and slapped his palm on the table in front of him, "They are all nonsense.
I am the Khan chosen by the Immortal God.
One day , I will trample all of you under my feet and let you know who is right."
The nanmu table fell down with a "ping" sound, and memorials, official documents, teacups, and writing brushes fell all over the floor with a clatter.
Ye Li, Hutu Temul, Itcha Temul, Sang Ge and other ministers who were waiting for Kublai Khan to handle official business quickly ran forward and asked the slave girls in a low voice while helping the female slaves clean up the papers and pens on the ground: "Who has no eyes to make His Majesty so angry?
Your Majesty, please don't be angry and leave it to the old slaves to take care of him."
Kublai Khan stood up and walked anxiously past everyone.
Ye Li's nuyan look made him very uncomfortable.
Compared with Naiyan back then, Ye Li and others looked like lame dogs that had lost all their fur.
But people like Naiyan are unwilling to be used by themselves.
Is it so difficult to find a helper who is both smart and noble?
"Alas" Kublai Khan sighed, turned his back to everyone and asked, "Do you think I did something wrong?"
"What's going on?"
Hututmul was asked like a monk who was two feet tall and confused.
He straightened up from the carpet and asked blankly.
"Your Majesty is the head of a country, and his words are made into the constitution.
How can he make mistakes?"
Shi Tianmu was the smartest and replied while lying on the ground.
The emperor is not wrong, even if he is wrong, he is right.
Kublai Khan had long expected that he would not be able to get an answer from Han Chen, so he smiled bitterly and ordered: "Doctor Shi and Ye Zhongcheng should go back to their tents to rest.
Temuer, you come with me for a walk.
Since then, Since the Northern Expedition, I haven’t seen the night sky over the grassland for a long time.”
"Yes, I, my servant, honor your decree."
The Mongolian, Han, and Semu ministers agreed and retreated.

Kublai Khan took Khututmur and walked out of the golden tent, supported by several soldiers.
Qie Xue, who was on duty outside the tent, saw it and quickly mobilized two hundred-man troops to follow Kublai Khan and others.
The group of people filed out of the camp gate and ran for more than ten miles to an unknown pasture.
The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and it has just experienced war.
There are almost no traces of life everywhere.
I could only hear the sound of waves and wind in the distance.
Looking up, I saw the dark blue sky as clean as water.
Stars of all sizes were dotted in the night sky, as dazzling as diamonds set on emeralds.
"Hutu, do you think the dispute between me and Naiyan was my fault?"
Kublai Khan held the horse's head and asked in a low voice.
"Naiyan rebelled, and your Majesty must fight against it.
Otherwise, your Majesty and we will both be dead and dismembered.
How can we say it is your Majesty's fault?"
Khututmul quickly gave his answer.
"You said, I adopted Dong Da's plan and drove the Han people to kill the Mongols.
Was it wrong?"
Kublai Khan continued to ask.
This is what the Western Khans are most dissatisfied with him about.
It is also the reason why the Khanates are unwilling to continue to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. excuse.
Every time he was mentioned, Kublai felt extremely aggrieved.
"If you ask who in the world is least likely to betray the Great Khan, Dong Da is probably the only choice."
Khuttmul rarely sobered up and reacted very quickly.
"I know Dong Da's loyalty.
He wants me to be the master of the whole world.
As for you, your tribe seems to be in Liaodong as well.
What do you think of this matter?"
Kublai Khan turned around and stared at Hutu Temur's face.
Eyes, asked faintly.
At that moment, he was not like an emperor with thousands of miles of land, but more like a lost child.
"The power of war is ferocious, especially when members of the same clan fight.
There is almost no difference between victory and defeat."
Hututmul thought for a while and replied carefully: "Your Majesty, my tribe is near Xianping, but my tribe did not participate in the rebellion.
The wars have continued in recent years, and the mares have been very poor on the grassland.
The two-year-old ewes have to be disposed of together with the old, weak, sick and disabled in late autumn.
If His Majesty does not put an end to the war on the grassland as soon as possible.
Do you know how many Mongolians will die?"
His wording was very clever.
He did not say that Kublai Khan was right to condone the Han army's genocide of the rebels, but he also affirmed the justice of the counterinsurgency war.

Kublai Khan sighed from his nostrils and looked at Hututmul up and down until he looked at his prime minister until he was hairy.
Then he smiled and said: "Hutu, you are becoming more and more like him now.
Hanchen” "No matter how I change, my loyalty to Your Majesty will never change."
Hututmul quickly answered again.
After a moment of silence, he continued to add: "I have been thinking about things in the past few years and found that the Han people's method of governing the country is indeed correct."
It is much more effective than ours.

The Song Dynasty had a country for three hundred years, and there was almost no large-scale internal rebellion on the grassland."
"But they also castrated a nation.
There were few bloody men in the entire Song Dynasty.
When I heard that Ye Li dared to criticize Jia Sidao directly, I thought he was courageous.
But it turned out that he was just a flatterer, only smart and without any knowledge.
A pustule of great knowledge," Kublai Khan added with a sneer.
After Dong Wenbing's death, although Han ministers led by Ye Li, Zhao Mengfu, Zhao Kuangyin's eleventh generation grandson, and Kong Zhu, descendants of Kong Zhu, gave the court many good ideas, on the whole, Kublai Khan still treated the Han ministers Very disappointed.
Although he had to rely on the strength of the Han army to suppress the rebellion, once the war on the grassland was over, Kublai Khan definitely did not want to reuse Ye Li and others.
"There are true heroes among the Han people, but they are just unwilling to be used by Your Majesty."
Hutu Temul's voice was almost inaudible.
He didn't know if Kublai Khan would be angry after hearing this, but he felt that what he said was definitely the truth.
"So, it's not surprising that Ye Li and others are all weaklings."
Kublai laughed loudly, pointed at the bright night sky with his riding crop and said, "You are confused, sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid.
Should you be whipped?
You should be rewarded for your whipping.
You don’t need to beat around the bush to remind me that although I used the Han army to suppress the rebellion, every inch of land in this world still belongs to us Mongols."
Hutu Temul's face turned slightly red when Kublai Khan saw through his thoughts.
Fortunately, the starlight was not bright enough to illuminate his face clearly.
He smiled coquettishly and defended himself: "Actually, I'm not all slandering Ye Li and the others.
Compared with Dong Da and Wen Tianxiang, Ye Li and others are indeed worse than pigs and dogs."
"What if a true hero is not used by me?"
Kublai Khan sighed.
The calm image of Naiyan before his death reappeared in front of him.
As a member of his own race, Naiyan was still unwilling to bow his head to him, let alone Wen Tianxiang, Chen Longfu and others who were from a different race.
"His Majesty is so powerful that he is invincible.
It is one of the fun things in life to have a few heroes as opponents."
Khuttmul untied Kublai Khan's knot without leaving a trace.
Please go to 17k to support the genuine guidebook "It's wonderful to keep a few heroes as opponents.
That's a wonderful thing to say."
Kublai felt his body light up instantly and praised him repeatedly.
His legs clamped tightly on the horse's belly, and the war horse neighed loudly and bolted out like an arrow.
Seeing this, Hututmul quickly followed up on his horse.
The surrounding soldiers and guards galloped wildly, forming a tight semicircle around Kublai Khan.
More than a hundred horses were passing by on the grassland like the wind, and the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, which sounded particularly powerful in the quiet night.
"Hutu, if I let you and Li Ting lead the troops north to conquer the remaining rebels, how many troops will you need?"
Kublai Khan asked as he ran, raising his horse and whip.
"The tribes of Naha'er, Hadan Xiulugan and others are not close to the sea and cannot get support from the thieves.
I can lead one hundred thousand soldiers, which will be enough to wipe them out within a year."
Hututmul was excited by the sound of wind and thunder in his ears.
Feeling proud, he raised his voice and answered.
"Where are the Khanates in the Western Regions?
If I send you as an envoy, can you make them surrender?"
"It is beyond my power to make the Khans your Majesty's minions as before.
If Your Majesty wants to make the Khans your vassals, I can try my best," Hututmul replied loudly.
Although he was the prime minister, he had never acted alone like Boyan and Dong Wenbing.

Hearing that Kublai Khan wanted to give him an important task, he couldn't help but feel eager to try it.
"The thieves are getting stronger and stronger.
I can't continue to raise tigers to cause trouble."
Kublai Khan held the horse's head on the coast and looked at the reflection of the starry sky on the water.
Please go to 17k to support the genuine guidebook "I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."
More than a hundred cavalry were stationed at the same time.
The Mongols had rarely seen the sea.
When they first saw such a wide water area, they were all stunned.
Compared with the vast sea, they usually think of the vast pastures and the huge company camps as tiny as a small boat.
Even they themselves are like a speck of dust in the vast galaxy.
Kublai Khan was also shocked by the vastness of the ocean.
It was a kind of vastness and majesty that he had never understood.
The surging waves set off the reflection of the starry sky, and the trajectory of each meteor is reflected as clearly as ink on a white paper.
A person's life is like a meteor streaking across the sky.
The brilliance of a moment is also eternal.
If Kublai Khan realized something, he pondered and said: "I want to lead my troops south and join forces with Boyan to wipe out the remnant Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
The Liaodong rebels are no longer in power.
I leave you a hundred thousand troops.
You and Li We will wipe it out together.
As for the Khans of the Western Regions, I don't want more blood to be shed on the grassland, so let them become vassals as you wish.
This is a method invented by the Han people, and it is simple and practical. " To persuade the Khans of the Western Regions to surrender and pay tribute, the current hostility between the two sides turned into a vassal relationship.
This task was very difficult and required a person with great wisdom to complete it.
Although Ye Li and others are smart, they are not Mongolians.
Going there will only make the Khans of the Western Regions feel insulted by the Yuan Dynasty.
Itchatmul's status was high enough, but he was full of resentment towards the Liaodong War.
Sending him there might have the opposite effect.
Kublai Khan once again found that the talents in his hands were withering.
At the critical moment, only a few people were worthy of important tasks.
And they are all over or close to half a century old.
Once someone else is summoned by Changshengtian, I am afraid that there will be no useful talents around him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's confidants are not very talented."
Hutu Temul knew Kublai Khan's thoughts and stepped forward to speak.
"Buhumu is indeed a good choice for general.
He is just too upright.
Recently, he wrote three impeachment letters to me about Lu Shirong, saying that I was manipulating the tiger to do evil.
I also have a lot of articles about impeaching him here.
Basket."
Kublai Khan replied with a smile, his words full of admiration for Buhumu.
"Okay, I originally planned to let him assist the prince.
Now that I have decided to return to the army, the prince does not need so many people around him.
You can draft a decree for me, promote Buhumu to Zhongshu and save Zuo Cheng, and let him I am sent as an envoy to the Western Regions to restore old friendship with the Khans and kings."
"Your Majesty, I respect your decree," Hututmul agreed happily.
This was the first time he recommended talents to Kublai Khan since he became prime minister.
Unexpectedly, Kublai Khan would accept it without hesitation and grant him such a high position.
For the courtiers, this symbolized great favor.

If other ministers find out about this tomorrow morning, they will definitely take a high look at themselves.
If we continue to maintain this momentum, it will not be long before carriages gather in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Please go to 17k to support the genuine guidebook "I want to meet Wen Tianxiang in person and see what kind of ability he has, and he can kill so many eagles and dogs."
Kublai Khan looked at the wide sea and said to himself.
"I want to meet him in person to see what strength he relies on to keep my arm Boyan stationary in Ezhou.
I also want to set foot on the land of Jiangnan in person and tell the Han people there that the so-called equality is just an empty talk.
I am Changshengtian’s choice, all the subjects in Changshengtian are mine, I came, I saw, I conquered.”
"I'm here, I've seen it, I've conquered it," Kublai Khan raised his whip and shouted at the sea.
This is a famous quote from the story of the Kings of the West that Marco Polo told him.
That king also killed countless people, but instead of being criticized for thousands of years, he was worshiped by countless heroes.
He is also a conqueror, with greater achievements.
What does this little blood flowing from Liaodong mean to him?
What does the little blood flowing from Jiangnan count?
Kublai Khan listened to his words echoing on the sea with the sound of the waves, his blood boiled all over, and all the depression in his heart was swept away.
And empty.
"I'm here, I saw it, I conquered it."
The hoarse and crazy roar spread farther and farther, until it reached the other end of the sea
