Chapter 3 Between Master and Disciple
Yelu Chucai was convinced that he was right. His student, the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin, really wanted to kill the child who was engrossed in eating.
This must be stopped.
No matter what reason the young prince has to do this, he must stop. This is for safety reasons. They are in the Mongolian tribe, and the Mongolians are welcoming them warmly. If they kill this Mongolian child at this time, the consequences will be difficult to predict.
.
It is said that the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace. In the concept of Yelu Chucai, a descendant of the royal family, dangerous things like murder and arson can be done by others, and there is no need to take risks yourself.
This is why powerful people and ordinary people have different attitudes towards things.
There are many ways to kill the child, but the important thing is that the time should be done after they leave Mobei, so that there will be no danger.
Although Yang Kang has been the young prince for five years, he has always lived a life of fear and trepidation. He still maintains the mentality of an ordinary person before. He wants to do everything himself. In other words, he does not trust anyone in this world but only himself.
Own.
Just when Yang Kang was about to take action, Yelu Chucai came over and blocked the dagger he was about to take out with his hand, and slowly inserted the dagger into its sheath.
"This is not the time to take action." Yelu Chucai said in Jurchen language.
Yang Kang was suddenly startled and turned to look at Yelu Chucai in disbelief. This teacher actually knew what he was thinking. Could it be that he also came from time travel?
After a second thought, he thought it was impossible. The past two years of getting along with him made him know that Yelu Chucai was indeed talented. His proficiency in Chinese could be described as "everyone". It was impossible for a time traveler to travel in just twenty years.
Do this within the time required.
This has nothing to do with being smart or not, but as a time traveler, you have a natural boredom with ancient Chinese. Mandarin and simplified Chinese are the biggest obstacles to learning ancient Chinese.
So Yelu Chucai just discovered his anomaly, but didn't know why he wanted to kill Guo Jing. He did not reveal his identity as a time traveler, and he could use it to avenge Wanyan Hongxi afterwards.
Yang Kang nodded and relaxed his body.
Yelu Chucai was worried, so he sat beside him until the banquet was over. He and Yang Kang returned to the tent together. He knew that the young prince must have something to say.
"I just want to teach that wild boy a lesson for Uncle Third King." Yang Kang persisted in this excuse and said firmly.
Yelu Chucai was a little disappointed. He knew that Yang Kang was lying. The young prince must have had a last resort reason to get rid of the child, but he was unwilling to tell him. This was originally a good opportunity to enhance the relationship between the two.
Having a shared secret will become a bond that binds two people even tighter.
However, he quickly put aside this grudge. Sometimes it is not a good thing to know too many secrets of superiors. Many disasters are caused by this. Now he wants to solve the problem of the Mongolian child.
"Little prince, even if you want revenge, you can't do it yourself. You are risking your life." Yelu Chucai calmly lectured, "This will not only put you in danger, but also affect the Sixth Prince's visit to Mobei.
duty of."
"Yes, sir." Yang Kang said after being taught.
He was still a little scared when he thought about it now. If he really did it, it would be hard to predict what would happen next. His imagination did not represent the real reaction of the Mongolians. These wild Mongolians were likely to do things beyond his expectation.
Come on, they are not bound by the rules. If they really go crazy, it will lead to serious consequences.
Seeing that Yang Kang had indeed listened, Yelu Chucai paused for a moment, wanting to test Yang Kang's reaction and see if the young prince would ask him to help kill the child.
Yang Kang didn't plead out loud, he only believed in himself.
Yelu Chucai sighed in his heart. This young prince is very wary. For an emperor, this is a good thing. Gullible emperors are often fooled by their ministers and eventually become a generation of foolish kings. Suspicion and overthinking are the factors that lead to a great empire.
Basic character.
As a minister, what he needs to do is to take care of things for the young prince, which is doing the dirty work.
"Does the young prince really want that child to die?" Yelu Chucai asked in a low voice.
Yang Kang raised his head and looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar teacher.
Only at this moment did he truly realize that he was the young prince of the Jin Kingdom, probably the future crown prince, or even the emperor. He had power in his hands, but he had not realized it before or had realized it but didn't know how to use it.
Yang Kang nodded lightly without saying any words.
Yelu Chucai didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the tent, looking up at the bright starry sky. He knew that he and the young prince had their first secret, and that was enough.
The next day, the army set off to another tribe for canonization. Temujin accompanied him with five thousand soldiers and horses.
This time we went to the Kelie tribe. The leader of the tribe is Wang Han, who is currently the most powerful among the tribes on the grassland.
Wang Han and Temujin's father, Yesugei, were sworn brothers. Later, Yesugei was poisoned to death. Temujin was lonely and helpless, so he worshiped Wang Han as his adoptive father and received Wang Han's protection until Temujin returned home.
He returned to the Qiyan Department and took over the power. During this period, their relationship has been very good.
At this time, the Qiyan tribe was getting stronger and might threaten the Kelie tribe, and the relationship between the two sides became tense. Wanyan Honglie learned about this situation, and one of the purposes of coming to Mobei this time was to provoke a dispute between the two families.
Because the journey was not far, Yang Kang did not ride in a carriage, but rode a horse with Yelu Chucai.
Although Yelu Chucai was a literati, as a noble, riding horseback and hunting was a compulsory course. Whether they were Khitan or Jin people, they all advocated bravery. Duels between nobles were common. If you are not proficient in horseback riding and archery, you are not considered a true nobleman.
Along the way, the grassland scenery is endless.
After six or seven days, I met an envoy from the Klei tribe who came to greet him. They were Wang Han's son Sangkun and Temujin's sworn brother Jamuka.
Yang Kang looked at Jamukha. This tall, thin man with sharp eyes was Temujin's lifelong rival. Jamukha also wanted to unify Mongolia and become an unparalleled hero, but unfortunately he met Temujin.
The two people who were so close at this time would not have thought that they would meet each other in battle a few years later. In the end, Jamuka was defeated by Temujin. After being captured, he was wrapped in felt and allowed to be trampled alive by fierce horses and died.
This is a living example that there is no sense of friendship in the face of huge power.
Yang Kang turned to look at Guo Jing who was accompanying him, and became more determined to get rid of Guo Jing, hoping that Yelu Chucai could do it without leaving any further trouble.
After walking forward for another day, they encountered trouble and were intercepted by tens of thousands of people, an army from the Naiman tribe.
The Naiman Tribe is a large tribe in the western part of the grassland. Its strength is almost the same as that of Wang Han's Kerei Tribe. Wars often occur between the two large tribes. Temujin's Qiyan Tribe is temporarily separated from the Kerei Tribe.
The Naiman tribe did not have much conflict.
This group of Naiman came to ask for official positions from the King of Jin.
Temujin wanted to show his strength in front of the King of Jin, so he commanded the army to attack. Each of his soldiers fought bravely to be the first, and the sound of killing was loud, just like a group of beasts coming out of the gate.
In just half an hour, Temujin's 5,000 troops defeated tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Naiman tribe and captured 2,000 prisoners, while they only suffered more than 100 casualties.
