Sections 570 and 571 The layout of Khan Eagle Square, Queen Haidong's military exercises.(1/2)
Wanyan Weihuo did not dare to hide it, and explained the whole story clearly. Only then did Li Luo and others know the whole story of the ancient tripod being discovered.
The abandoned golden camp was indeed built on a so-called Feng Shui treasure land. It is said that when the camp was built, an ancient altar was also excavated. But no one thought much at that time.
"Wanyan Weihuo, this should be the Jizhou Cauldron. You have made contributions to protecting the cauldron and should be rewarded. However, the Jiuzhou Cauldron is of great importance and cannot be transported back at the moment. In order to prevent leaks of secrets, I will send you to Dongzhou." Li Luo said.
Dongzhou? Where is that? Wanyan Weihuo's heart trembled.
"It's not far from the East China Sea, and it's only a few days away from Lin'an." Li Luo explained. It wouldn't be possible to send them to Dongzhou. If anyone of them reveals this secret, it will soon be known to everyone in the world.
After all, the Jizhou tripod cannot be transported back within a few years, so it is the territory of the Yuan court, and it is still outside the Great Wall. Once the Yuan court secretly learns that the Yuan court has dug up the Jizhou tripod, there will be nothing Li Luo has to do.
"I calculated that you have given you the merit of offering a cauldron. I will grant you the first-class viscount, and I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. I will go to Dongzhou for the time being." Li Luo gave the reward generously.
At that time, he would sit in the Emperor Mingtang, proclaim the lost ancient books, hold the imperial seal, and list the treasure tripod of the nine provinces. It would be very dynamic to think about it.
Throughout history, only one emperor can possess ancient classics, the imperial seal, and the treasure tripod of Jiuzhou: the First Emperor.
Except for the First Emperor, no other emperor can possess these three treasures at the same time.
And he, Li Luo, is likely to have the luck to become the second one.
"Thank you for your reward..." Wanyan Weihuo could not only save everyone's lives, but also receive rewards.
He didn't know what Viscount Tang was treated, but it was much better than hiding underground as a mouse.
Li Luo heard this and said, "I am Yuan Congduo of them are Jurchens, and Jurchens are also innocent, which is equivalent to Han people. If you go to Dongzhou, you can live with peace of mind."
"The king is kind and the true master of life. No wonder the Jizhou tripod came out." Wanyan Weihuo bowed again, "I am old and in a twilight year. I would like to transfer the position of this viscount to my grandchildren, I wonder if I can?"
Li Luo smiled and said, "At present, the titles of the Tang Dynasty are all founding titles. They can be passed down to future generations, so you don't have to worry."
"Thank you, King..." Wanyan Weihuo was very excited. The title can be inherited, which means that his group of people finally have a support.
Li Luo immediately wrote a title edict, stamped it with a large seal, and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites.
When Wanyan Wei and Huo Qianen withdrew with great gratitude, Wen Tianxiang and others stood up and said, "Congratulations to the King! The emergence of Jizhou Cauldron is a great auspicious omen!"
Li Luo said: "Don't be busy congratulating me first. The Jizhou tripod is still buried in the north of the border, and I don't know when it will be transported back."
Wen Tianxiang said: "Don't worry, the king. As long as you keep the secrets strictly, and wait until the Tartars are expelled and the northern country is restored, you can dig it out openly and see the light of day again!"
…………
At this time, the northern country was frozen thousands of miles away and snow was falling. The towering capital was covered with silver, adding a kind of vast domineering aura.
On the already frozen Taiye Pond in the Yuan Palace, the dog was pulling a sled while pulling a few Mongolian nobles wearing fox furs and running to Guanghan Palace in the middle of the Taiye Pond.
The guards of Qiexue in the palace all knew that the host kings Naiyan, Shengnahaer and others had already arrived in Dadu from Liaodong and Lingbei to meet the Khan.
Temujin said that after the founding of the country, he divided the west of the Khan court to his son and the east of the Khan court to his brothers. This is the origin of the Western Dao Sect King and the East Dao Sect King of the Mongol Empire.
Temujin once said: "If you conquer the world, the people of the Golden Family should share the land and share the wealth!"
The hosts mainly divided the four Ulus (vas) of Hesar, Haciwen, Timuge and Belegutai. The vassal king was called "Ulus Khan", and his status was higher than that of ordinary royal lords.
The royal princes used seals, but the vassal kings used them as "treasure". For example, Temugoulus's "treasure" was the "treasure of the crown prince" given by Temujin, and Haci-Wenwulus used "treasure of the emperor's nephew, noble sect."
Due to the Mongolian custom of "young son guarding the stove", Temujin's youngest brother Temuge obtained the largest land population during the feudal period. Therefore, among the four host Ulus, Temuge Ulus was the strongest and was the leader of the host vassals.
Naiyan is Tiemuge's great-grandson, and the current vassal king of Tiemuge Ulus.
When Kublai Khan and Alibuge competed for the throne of Khan, the four host Ulus kings all supported Kublai Khan, which was an important reason for Kublai Khan's victory.
But as Kublai Khan's status stabilized, he began to weaken the power of the host vassals and limit their power.
Kublai Khan forbidden the host sect king from plundering people as slaves, forbidden tribes such as Shui Dada, who were shooting in his territory, and forced the sects of all kinds of people under the host sect king to be shipwrecks. He even forbidden the host sect king and Goryeo were traded together.
Kublai Khan's series of "ungrateful" behaviors made the host sect increasingly dissatisfied and began to rebel.
However, the host sect king had not yet made up his mind to rebel, and did not dare to rebel rashly.
Soon, several dog sleds arrived outside Guanghan Palace. A Korean official on the steps had long been waiting here.
"The four noble Kings of Ulus, the Khan, are already in Yingfang, waiting for the younger generations of the Golden Family whom he was thinking about day and night. Please come with the slave."
Naiyan, who was about thirty years old, walked off the dog sled and stepped onto the steps.
This is not the first time Naiyan has come to Dadu. He knew that the Khan liked to summon close ministers in Yingfang. Meeting them, the host kings in Yingfang, certainly expressed closeness.
This year is the 21st year of Zhiyuan, and there are more than two years left before Naiyan and others rebelled in history.
In fact, the direct reason why Yan later rebelled was that Kublai Khan wanted to withdraw his vassal.
That's right. The reason for Naiyan's rebellion is very similar to Wu Sangui in later generations.
Some people in later generations simply pointed out that it was Kublai Khan who deliberately forced Naiyan to rebel.
From the rebellion of the host kings, although the momentum was great, they were suppressed in a few months, which shows that Kublai Khan was prepared. He set up a trap and forced Naiyan to rebel. After the suppression, he took back the power of Liaodong and Eastern Mongolia.
In history, Kublai Khan did it. After suppressing Naiyan and others, Eastern Mongolia and the entire Liaodong were directly controlled by the Yuan court.
Why did Naiyan rebel? Because Kublai Khan wanted to deprive him of his rule over Liaodong and put Liaodong and Dongmeng under the direct control of the Yuan court, this of course violated the interests of the host kings headed by Naiyan.
The fuse of Naiyan's rebellion in history was the "Liaodong Province".
In the 23rd year of Zhiyuan, Kublai Khan established the "Tokyo Province" in the fiefdom of Naiyan, Liaodong, and was in charge of the military and political power in Liaodong.
In this way, it is equivalent to cashing out Naiyan's fiefdom and turning him into a king of Kongtongzi Sect.
How could Naiyan, who holds a 100,000 army, agree? He has both the reasons for rebellion and the strength to rebel, so why didn’t he rebel?
It just so happened that Haidu and others from the West Road rose to resist Kublai Khan, so Naiyan simply colluded with the King of the West Road to rebel.
But at this time, although the Yuan court pressed against Naiyan, Naiyan's rebellion was not strong. In fact, if it were not for the "Liaodong province" that forced him to force him to rebel, he would not have taken the risk of rebellion easily.
If Kangxi did not withdraw his vassals, would Wu Sangui rebel? Most likely, he would not.
Now history has changed a lot because of time travelers. Will Kublai Khan still implement the "Liaodong province establishment"?
The four Ulus vassal kings soon met their "thought about day and night" in Yingfang, and their elder Kublai Khan.
"Sun Chen pays homage to the great Khan, my noble and kind Abge!" Naiyan took the lead in worshiping.
Because he was Kublai Khan's grandson in terms of age, he called Kublai Khan Abge (grandfather).
"Great Khan, my respected Abg, Shengnahaer finally kneels in front of you!" Shengnahaer, the current vassal king of Haciwenwulus, is also Kublai Khan's grandson.
"Great Khan, my respected Abaga (uncle), and your respected Achi (nephew), finally saw you again!" Shiduer, the current sect king of Hesalwulus, is the son and nephew of Kublai Khan.
Another nephew, the vassal king of Belegutaiwulus, did not do it, and he also quickly bowed.
These two grandsons and two nephews all offered tributes to Kublai Khan.
There are not many species such as Haidongqing, Dongzhu, ginseng, mink, sand gold, etc., but there are many types.
It's ridiculous that these four people rebelled together in history and were all suppressed.
"Let's calm down my tired body, my children!" Kublai Khan spread his arms and personally helped the four Kings of Ulus up.
"You have traveled through mountains and rivers and came to Khanbali and Tuo in the wind and snow. They really comforted me, the lonely old man! They are like four piles of fires burning cow dung, warming my heart!" Kublai Khan said.
When Naiyan and others heard the noble old man in the world and said such close words, they felt a long-lost warmth in their hearts.
"Da Khan is the parent of the Golden Family and the most fair elder. The filial piety of the younger generation is like the sunflower facing the sun. He is the most loyal guard of the Khan. He will not make Dahan feel lonely!" Naiyan said.
Kublai Khan asked the relatives to sit down on the kang and ordered the guards of Qiexue to bring them hot milk tea and the wine that was the oldest to entertain them.
A few of the most plump lambs and the forefoots of a few black bears were also roasted golden and stewed hard and sent to the desks of the four major vassal kings.
This seems to be a simple family dinner specially prepared by Kublai Khan. In addition to the four major vassal kings and Kublai Khan, there are the prince Zhenjin, as well as the two princes in Beijing, King Ning and King Zhennan.
The four of them were not polite. Anyway, they were all a family, and they didn't drink or eat meat in big mouthfuls.
Kublai Khan cut four of the most fat mutton with a golden knife, ordered the guards to give it to the four of them, picked up the jade cup and said, "How are your life in the grassland and Liaodong?"
Naiyan stroked her chest and said, "Sweat, your Naiyan is not doing well."
The man who called the wind and rain in Liaodong said, "We lack a market for mutual trading, and there are not enough slaves. Many tribes are not allowed to use bows and arrows. It's difficult..."
Many tribes he said were not allowed to use bows and arrows, not Mongolian tribes, but other Hu tribes in the territory. Because Kublai Khan prohibited the use of bows and arrows from tribes such as Shui Dada, Naiyan's troops were restricted.
The other three also complained.
They are not stupid, so of course they know the purpose of the Khan calling them. If they don’t take the opportunity to make requests at this time, when will they wait?
Kublai Khan sighed and said, "It turns out that your life is so sad. I have neglected it. Well, then I will lift the law of banning bows and arrows from Shui Dada and other departments, and allow you to trade with Goryeo. Slaves, let you catch more."
Naiyan and others were overjoyed and left the case together and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness!"
Kublai Khan smiled and said, "Please calm down. Remember, no matter how big the world is and how many slaves there are, it is my Borjijin family. If the meat is rotten, it is all in the pot. As long as the world is in hand, the wealth of my Borjijin family is iron."
"Genghis Khan used the sensation that an arrow was easy to break, but a bundle of arrows was difficult to break. He warned his clan members to unite and create great causes together, and to maintain wealth and honor together. You all know that Wulidusi (ancestor) said, don't forget."
Naiyan said: "Genghis Khan's words are like gold. How dare we forget them? Don't worry, Khan."
Kublai Khan stood up and pointed to the south, "The south is now chasing traitors. They are not only against me, but also against you, but against all the nobles of the Golden Family. It is like a person who is unwilling to be a slave to rise up and resist his master."
"Dayuan is not only mys, but also yours. Now the thief is going to resist your Dayuan, you can do whatever you want. Should I suppress the bold slaves and capture them back as slaves, or should I watch them get bigger and bigger and steal the food and money that belonged to the master?"
Naiyan said: "Khan, since the slaves' creator's rebellion, the master will not see them having fun like wild dogs! What Khan said is like gold. Dayuan is the Great Yuan of all Borjijin clans. You cannot let the rebels turn the world!"
This is not his hypocritical behavior, but his real belief is that he will suppress the rebels severely.
That's right, he was dissatisfied with the Khan, and he was always wronged and even wanted to rebel. However, the Han people rose up to commit the rebellion of the Yuan Dynasty, which would definitely not work!
To be continued...
