"What can a nineteen-year-old boy do?"

"Can defeat Kublai Khan."

...

There is a saying among the core officials of the Europa Province that can kill the world. The words that can defeat Kublai Khan made everyone silent. In the Battle of Ezhou, Kublai Khan was defeated, and Jia Sidao became the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty through the victory of the Battle of Caishiji. The same famous person in the world was Zhao Jiaren who passed the Jinshi at the age of fourteen and annihilated the Mongolian navy in the Battle of Ezhou. That year, Zhao Jiaren was 19 years old.

It was not until Hao Rui's intelligence was obtained at the venue that the atmosphere became more lively. The content of the page recorded Hao Rui's intelligence. Perhaps as Hao Ren's third son, Hao Rui received education in the Yuan Kingdom and participated in the Warsaw Battle. He had never heard of any outstanding or particularly unbearable performance in the battle, and he has not yet gotten married.

Officials who didn't know what to say before finally regained their vitality. The Zhao Guan family did not suddenly rise when they were nineteen years old. They have made great achievements since he was admitted to the Jinshi. However, after a few words, the governor Yelu Hong said: "Why did Hao Rui come out to announce that Hao Kang murdered Hao Gui? Is anyone trying to use him? Is it Jiang Guangtou who used him? What after using it?"

These questions are exactly what the officials are puzzled about. Understanding these is equivalent to understanding the core issues of the Yuan Dynasty. But relying on the content that was not full of paper in his hand, it is really impossible to judge. Just when everyone was in a dilemma, the officials sent by the superiors to assist the matter slowly spoke, "The court thought it was not important for who would become the lord of the Yuan Dynasty. How the economic policy of the Yuan Dynasty was changed is the key."

"That means we only look at money, not good or evil?" Someone asked a question.

Listening to the malicious smell inside, the official smiled and said, "Haha, if everyone thinks I'm pointing fingers here, I'm a little interested in competing for merit. I think this judgment is incorrect."

Yelu Hong smiled slightly when he heard this, and he was a little impressed by the official. It was difficult to make the words clear, especially at such a huge change. The previous governor Yang Congrong had already become the deputy minister, and Lu Bofeng was about to serve as the last term. According to the regulations of the Zhao official family, the ministers had to go to a county to become the magistrate of the last term. Yang Congrong had the opportunity to become the next foreign minister. Inspired by this precedent, everyone did not want their possible contributions to be separated. The official was sensitive enough and courageous enough.

The core officials of the Europa Province did not waver at all because they were revealed. It was not that one person and two people were worried about the separation of the credit. Everyone had doubts about this. The Ministry of Finance officials carefully selected it, and he had no worries. After making it clear, he continued to say, "I am not an imperial envoy, but I have responsibility. If you want to make contributions at this time, you should promote it according to the designated policy. Please rest assured that I can't make any contributions to everyone. The document I brought has been shown to you and it is very clear. However, if the policy is not implemented, I have the responsibility. This matter is not stated clearly in the document. Please read it several times and experience it."

Having said that, Yelu Hong felt that he had to say a few words, and he asked, "I have read the documents, and the new policy will limit everyone too much."

The official smiled and said, "This is the policy formulated by the prince. Everyone should do it."

It was emphasized that it was the policy formulated by the prince, and everyone was silent. The Zhao official family soon celebrated their 60th birthday. The current rule in the Song Dynasty was that it was illegal for officials to give gifts to officials, and it was illegal for officials to give gifts to officials. It was also illegal for officials to send gifts to officials. People did not want to find trouble, but instead saved many troubles. There were rumors in China that the official family had begun to prepare cemeteries for themselves according to ancient traditions. In ancient traditions, it was believed that the deceased should not disturb the living, so they would find a piece of land that does not affect farming and dig deep into the tombs and bury them. There was no grave on the ground. The official family was said to be looking for a permanent greening land as his burial place. Everyone understood that even a hero like Zhao Jiaren would return to heaven sooner or later. After the official family returned to heaven, the prince would succeed to the throne. What the official of the Ministry of Finance said was his attitude towards the future.

Silence, silence, silence, Yelu Hong finally had to face reality. He sighed: "Since the prince wants the order of the economic frontier of the Song Dynasty, we will not participate in the internal struggles of the Yuan Dynasty."

The core cadres of the Europa Province were in the same mood as Yelu Hong. Seeing the huge opportunity in front of him, they could not gain profits. This loss was hard to describe. However, the power that determined their destiny was in the hands of the officials. Now the Zhao official family let the prince formulate his policies, and there was no other way except obeying the orders.

The meeting ended soon. When Sima Rong left the venue, he heard Yang Sixian calling him behind his back. The two had done many errands together and knew each other well. They went to the cafeteria to make meals, ran back to the dormitory to eat and chat. Yang Sixian drank a sip of wine and said, "I think the idea of ​​establishing an economic frontier is good. What do you think?"

"Have your uncle written to you?" Sima Rong asked.

"I wrote a letter before, but I didn't say anything specific." Yang Sixian sighed. His uncle Yang Cong-chan's calm promotion made people in the Europa Province envious, and Yang Sixian's relative relationship with Yang Cong-chan made his status more awkward.

As a member of the Sima family, Sima Rong could fully understand Yang Sixian's feelings. Although the Sima family was not a minister of the dragon, they were a representative figure of the Song Dynasty Jinshi who defected to the Zhao Guan family. In many cases, this identity would only be disgusted by people. Sima Rong sighed: "Everyone still thinks that the contribution of opening up the territory is more real. This economic frontier is invisible and intangible, and it is indeed difficult to define the size of the contribution."

"It's not that difficult, I think Xie Song is doing well." Yang Sixian responded.

"...Why don't we apply to Rome?" Sima Kao said his thoughts. Yang Sixian was right. Xie Song did not go back to Athens before and many people thought Xie Song was at a loss at that time. Now that the prince's policy has come out, Xie Song continues to stay in Constantinople, which has greatly increased his chances of making meritorious contributions. The loan amount of money houses in Constantinople in the Europa Province is now increasing, which is completely in line with the prince's policy.

"I think it's OK." Yang Sixian replied.

Since the idea was consistent, the two began to discuss the specific content. The next morning they went to the Jiedushi Yelu Hong and proposed their ideas. Yelu Hong's eyes were a little sarcastic, but he did not object. He said, "I will propose it at the meeting," and sent the two out.

When the two left, Yelu Hong continued his plan. He wanted to expand the territory of the Europa Province during the chaos in the Eastern Mediterranean. Now he may not be scolded for doing so, but it is far from the credit he expected. Now Sima Kao and Yang Sixian have clearly shown that they must follow the prince's policy. Yelu Hong had to admit that there will only be more and more such guys. It is time for Yelu Hong to make a decision.

Before Yelu Hong could figure things out, Boyan sent an envoy. After a brief conversation, the envoy raised Boyan's question very bluntly, and the capital of the Europa Province would not maintain the four-sided alliance. Yelu Hong praised Boyan's old fox as indeed, and the foundation of the four-sided alliance was clearly stated in the general outline that the four forces would never war with each other, and all issues would be resolved through various consultation meetings. This agreement led by Yang Congrong ensured the basis of cooperation between the four-sided alliances.

The war situation in Mongolia was not very favorable, and internal conflicts broke out in full swing. At this time, Boyan came to confirm this matter again and indeed saw the core issue. Once the foundation of the four-party alliance was shaken, a full-scale civil war between the four parties was likely to occur. Seeing the officials who adhered to the prince's policy looking at him, Yelu Hong could only answer: "Our European provinces must strictly abide by the content of the treaty."

The envoy of the Western Roman Empire was not satisfied with such a vague answer. He asked even more bluntly: "God of Jiedu, what our country, Beyan Augustus, wants to ask is that if the Yuan State withdraws from the treaty, will the European Province governor use troops against the Yuan State?"

Yelu Hong was silent. Of course, he had considered the war against the Yuan Kingdom. The information showed that the black soil occupied by the Yuan Kingdom was extremely fertile, and even the rough operation of the Yuan Kingdom was enough to export a large amount of food every year. It would be strange if the Europa Province did not have the intention to covet it. After thinking for a while, Yelu Hong asked the envoy: "I wonder what the Lord Boyan is thinking?"

"Bayang Augustus not only sent me to the Europa Province, but also sent two other missions to Eastern Rome and Yuan Kingdom. Augustus' attitude was very clear. Even though the situation is turbulent, the four-way alliance cannot be shaken at all. The so-called true feelings are seen in times of adversity, and turmoil is only temporary. Only when the day the clouds are clear will everyone see the preciousness of sticking to the treaty."

The Western Roman envoys used hymns like hymns that made many officials in Europa Province smile, and most of the emotions in the smile were not positive. As a powerful enemy of the Song Dynasty, Boyan sent an envoy to say "the preciousness of peace" at this time, and he could not convince the officials of the Song Dynasty. If Boyan did not run to the Italian Peninsula but to the Indochina Peninsula, the Song Dynasty court would definitely mobilize elites to pursue the enemy to the end, and no matter what, he would cut off the head of this powerful enemy who brought great shame to the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hong originally wanted to be a trick with Boyan, but when he turned around, he saw the officials of the Ministry of Finance watching the talks seriously, and he felt very unhappy. Although these two guys were not imperial envoys, they actually took over the supervision of imperial envoys and even servants. They attended all meetings and rarely spoke at the meeting. However, it was better to speak than not. Yelu Hong was very suspicious of how much the two guys recorded after the meeting, and thought of this made him uncomfortable.

However, these two guys represent the crown prince, and Yelu Hong could only say: "How can I believe in Your Excellency Boyan's intentions?"

"If the Europa Province has the same idea, you might as well come up with your ideas."

When Yelu Hong changed his mind, he couldn't help but look at Sima Rong and Yang Sixian. He said, "Since that's the case, our Europa Province is now opening a money house in Western Rome."

The messenger was not stumped by this request. He responded sincerely in a tone: "Governor, the telegram has been opened at this time. Please ask the governor to send a message to Beryan Augustus, and I hope you can get a reply as soon as possible."

When the envoy of the Western Romans said this, Yelu Hong even felt suspicious of being trapped. He even regretted his suggestions, but he could only continue the words he said. After the envoy went down, Yelu Hong asked the clerk to draft a telegram and sent it to Boyan after review. Unexpectedly, Boyan was a bachelor in his work, so he replied to the telegram the next day and agreed to the Europa Province to open a money shop in the major cities of the Western Roman Empire. Now Yelu Hong was forced to the point where he could not go back on his word, so he could only hold a meeting to discuss the candidates.

Other officials were still hesitating, and Sima Rong and Yang Sixian immediately volunteered. Seeing that the others had no intention of fighting, Yelu Hong could only agree to the two of them. The whole thing had developed to this point, and Yelu Hong felt unspeakable. However, he could not help but admire that an old fox like Boyan was really difficult to deal with.

The envoys of the Western Roman Empire did not lie. Boyan not only sent envoys to the Europa Province, but also sent envoys to the other two countries of the four alliances. Boyan believed that these ambitious Song people would wait for a price, so he judged that the negotiations would be delayed for a long time. Now that the result was obtained so quickly, Boyan felt very surprised and even doubted it. If he had not known his image in the Song Dynasty, Boyan even wanted to send envoys to Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, to inquire about the reasons.

But since the other party expressed such kindness, Boyan had no choice but to accept it. Just as he was pondering, Princess Maria came to Boyan with a thirst-quenching drink and put down the drink. Princess Maria sighed quietly: "Augustus, are you regretting sending an envoy?"

Boyan opened his face slightly. Maria was very familiar with Boyan's reaction, and she sighed to Boyan in this action. Princess Maria said regretfully: "I really didn't expect Hao Gui to be killed. Did Augustus believe what Hao Rui said?"

"Don't believe it." Bo Yan said indifferently.

"Although I don't believe it all, I also have some doubts that Hao Kang killed Hao Gui."

"Hao Kang... Humph, how could he, a Han man, take action like a Mongolian? What's more, he has been studying in the Song Dynasty for so long, so he wouldn't do this."

"I read the history books of the Han people, and it was bloody to seize power in it." Princess Maria did not agree with Boyan's view.

"It is indeed vicious for the Han people to seize power, but I have never seen the story of being able to kill Hao Gui but being driven out of the capital. If I had to say a similar request, they were all Han people a thousand or two years ago. Since Qin Shihuang's son Hu Hai seized power, the matter was exposed, some were killed. After killing the prince, he failed to ascend the throne. I have never seen those who could still take out the capital alive." Boyan said it rare for a long time.

Princess Maria has only browsed some Chinese history books translated into Latin, but has not achieved her husband's ability to read Chinese classics proficiently. After hearing what her husband said, she simply went straight to the topic, "If you say that, could it be that Hao Rui killed Hao Gui?"

"It's hard to say. I'm probably sure that Hao Kang didn't take the initiative. Otherwise, Wei Jingwang would be willing to escape to Odessa with Hao Kang. Moreover, Wei Jingwang also sent someone to say that Hao Gui colluded with Jiang Guangtou to murder Hao Gui, but Hao Kang escaped from Kiev in a quick and quick manner, so he survived. Wei Jingwang's words should not be believed in them."

Such complicated things can only be clear unless the parties involved have the knowledge. Princess Maria, as the Eastern Roman princess, is very clear about this kind of palace fighting. She sighed again: "I am going to find a family for our daughter in Rome."

"It's up to you to decide." After Boyan finished speaking, he gently held his wife's hand. If he followed the Mongolian rules, since the Western Roman Empire was determined to form an alliance with the Yuan Kingdom, Boyan's daughter must marry the Yuan Kingdom. Just like Princess Maria said she would marry Hulagu, the Khan of the Ilkhan Kingdom who was old enough to be her father. However, when the princess and her group were about to arrive at the capital of the Ilkhan Kingdom, Hulagu died, and the princess was married to Hulagu's son, the new Khan King Abaha. It doesn't matter who she married, the key is to marry the current Khan King of the Ilkhan Kingdom.

With such an experience, Princess Maria didn't want to look at her daughter and face the same fate. Now she saw that Hao Rui was probably a sinner who killed her brother, Princess Maria didn't want her daughter to entrust her life to this person. She held her warm and dry hands on her back, and Princess Maria felt warm and peaceful. She lowered her head and kissed Boyan's forehead, and said softly: "It's late, let's take a break early."

"I'll think about something more." Boyan's voice was very soft. Looking at his wife's back as he left, Boyan felt helpless. When Boyan attacked Song, he just obeyed Kublai Khan's orders and had no personal hatred for the Song Dynasty. Even after being defeated by the Song Dynasty, Boyan did not think that the Song Dynasty was an irreconcilable enemy. Therefore, Boyan was able to decisively cooperate with the Song Dynasty. These cooperations also allowed Boyan to successfully achieve his life's wishes, not only became a Roman, but also became the Roman emperor.

Now the four-way alliance is beginning to shake due to the turmoil in Mongolia. Once this pillar is collapsed, the entire Eastern Mediterranean will immediately fall into complete chaos. This chaos will surely be fatal. The Song Dynasty has already established a powerful force in the Tianzhu Ocean, and expeditioning to the Eastern Mediterranean is not a delusion. Even the slave dynasty in the northern part of Tianzhu can launch a war to invade the holy city next to the Red Sea. The difficulty of the Song Dynasty sending troops into the Eastern Mediterranean is probably even smaller.

Now Boyan can only pin his hopes on the rationality of the Song Dynasty. Destroying the Four-Party Alliance will not bring benefits to the Song Dynasty. Of course, Boyan knows his image in the hearts of the Song Dynasty, and knows that if he tells his basis of his judgment to the Europa Province of the Song Dynasty, it will only trigger a war immediately. Although it cannot be said that Boyan believes in his judgment. The Yuan Dynasty went south to attack the Song Dynasty and made a lot of money because the Southern Song Dynasty was really rich and very rich. The Eastern Mediterranean was a food-deficient area, which was the few years after the establishment of the Four-Party Alliance, the people finally enjoyed peace and did not starve to death. If a war broke out, no force could really gain benefits from this cruel war.
