Chapter 1520 Revisiting the Eighth Prince (Happy New Year's Eve)
Murong Fu rubbed his brows with a headache. If Zhong Qi'er, Chi Na and others were just a little cautious, then Hai Du was definitely a very powerful person.
Speaking of Haidu, we have to mention his grandfather Ogodei. Among Temujin’s four legitimate sons, in terms of ability to command the army, Ogodei is the most capable, but in terms of political vision, Ogodei is the second.
One person, in the original history, Temujin gave up his favorite youngest son Tolei and chose Ogedei as his successor precisely because his political vision was superior to everyone else.
After Ogedai succeeded to the throne, he managed the Mongolian tribes in an orderly manner with meritocracy, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of the Yuan Empire. However, Ogedai's mentality changed in his later years, and he indulged in pleasure and arrogance.
, and even poisoned his brother Tuo Lei, who had supported him in power, out of suspicion.
Of course, great changes have taken place in the history of this world. Temujin not only established the Great Yuan Empire with his own hands, but has not yet passed on the throne. Therefore, there has been no fratricide between brothers. Ogedei is still under his control.
The Ogedai Khanate was governed within the fiefdom.
Haidu is one of the many grandsons of Ogedai. Since his father died early, he has been with Ogedai since he was a child. He is deeply loved by Ogedai. According to this trend, there are ten successors to the Ogedai Khanate.
Eight or nine is him.
However, a few years ago, the power of the four great khanates expanded rapidly. Genghis Khan had the foresight to know that if he allowed it to go on like this, there would be endless consequences, so he issued an order for the four great khanates to send their kings to serve as officials in the dynasty. From then on, the sea capital left the Ogedai Khanate.
The center of power has become a proton-like existence settling in the metropolis.
In addition, Haidu inherited his grandfather's character. He was generous, extended favors, and well-rounded. He had good relations with the princes and grandsons of various Mongolian clans. If there were any conflicts between the princes, Haidu would be invited to mediate.
.
Murong Fu recalled all the information about Haidu in his mind, and secretly despised him in his heart. Even if his history was not good, he still remembered that this person was a careerist. According to the original trajectory, after Kublai Khan ascended the throne, this person first supported Ali Buge and
Kublai Khan fought against him, and later Ali Buge was defeated and surrendered. He then united with many Western forces to fight against Kublai Khan, which indirectly caused the Great Yuan Dynasty to fall into pieces, and all the land conquered by his ancestors was vomited back.
Although the Yuan Dynasty in this world is very different from that in history, Murong Fu still firmly believes that Haidu is definitely ambitious and his political vision is no worse than that of his grandfather.
In the midst of his thoughts, Murong Fu went to the living room and saw a tall person standing in the hall. He was wearing a very inconspicuous animal skin robe, with pigtails on his head, draped casually behind his shoulders, which was quite chic.
It means unruly, with a thin face, a delicate nose, and a white face without beard. With this appearance, he looks more like a Central Plains person.
This man was holding a wine jar and looking at it carefully. Murong Fu deliberately made his footsteps louder.
Haidu looked up and immediately beamed, "Anda is here, come on, come on, come on, I got a jar of good wine today, and I brought it here to drink with you, and I can repay the wine I had last time."
As he spoke, he walked over quickly, took Murong Fu's arm and left.
His intimate and natural appearance made Murong Fu feel a chill. Doesn't this guy have any special quirks?
Hai didn't even notice that he looked unnatural, and raised the wine jar to himself, "An Da, guess what kind of wine is this jar of wine?"
"The devil knows what kind of wine you have..." Murong Fu cursed in his heart. With his preconceptions, Haidu's words sounded like coquettishness to his ears, which really made him feel a little nauseous. He withdrew his arm without leaving a trace, and opened his mouth.
Zhong Qianran said, "Sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with you today."
"Uh..." Haidu looked suffocated and said displeased, "Why?"
Murong Fu pretended to be helpless and spread his hands, "I have something urgent to report to the Eighth Prince. I have to go now."
This was a sure-fire strategy that he came up with after much thought. Since it was difficult to deal with, he simply didn't deal with it. It happened that he really had to go to Ali Buge's place, so it was a perfect excuse to use it as an excuse.
Unexpectedly, Haidu immediately said, "That's okay, I'll go with you. After you finish talking about things, we can drink with Uncle Eighth Prince."
Murong Fu frowned, and he became increasingly suspicious of the "real" relationship between this man and Galdan. He smiled and cursed, "This little wine is not enough for the two of us. If we bring it to the Eighth Prince's house, wouldn't it make him laugh?"
Haidu slapped his forehead and said, "That's right. It's a pity that this wine only has so much. If Uncle Eighth Prince sees it, it might not be worth it to both of us. Well, I'll wait here for you to come back."
"..."
After Murong Fu convinced Haidu, he fled away as if he was running away. He saw a burly man in the courtyard. When he saw Murong Fu, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I'm a low-level official. I'm here to see you, sir. I don't know, Sir."
What is the calling of a humble minister?"
Murong Fu immediately remembered that before he entered the house, he asked Aqi to find the centurion of the prison army. He expected it to be this person. He immediately raised his hand and said, "General Chili, please stand up. General China will return to the city gate to guard. His
I can only leave the matter to you."
Chili stood up and said respectfully, "My lord, despite your orders, I will not give up my humble position even to the death."
Murong Fu laughed and said, "Okay, you immediately pass the command to the commander and send out all the city's government officials, including the patrol guards, to search for the whereabouts of a person. This person's name is Murong Fu, and he is a Han."
Chili was slightly startled, "I wonder if you have a portrait of this person?"
Murong Fu pondered for a moment, "There is no portrait. This person is the one who escaped at Fuyang Inn that day. If you haven't seen him, you can go find someone and ask."
That day Galdan personally led a thousand troops to surround the inn, and many people had seen him at that time.
Chili suddenly realized, "It turns out to be him. Don't worry, sir. This matter is in the hands of the humble servant."
"Well," Murong Fu nodded, "remember, this time is different from last time. We are not trying to arrest him, we are just trying to find his whereabouts, and no force is allowed."
Chili looked a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions, "I understand."
"Okay, let's go."
After sending Chili away, Murong Fu immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and drove to Ali Buge's residence.
Ali Buge's residence is located in Yongchangfang in the north of the city, only one street away from the Imperial City. Coincidentally, it is also very close to the East Palace. There is the East Palace on the other side of the wall, but Ali Buge is not the prince of the East Palace.
Speaking of this, some people may wonder, since Brother Alibu is not the prince, why is he allowed to supervise the country for more than ten years? This is because the rule in Mongolia's history is that "the youngest son guards the family". This concept is different from the Central Plains dynasty. In the Central Plains,
Supervising the country represents the supreme honor, and generally only the prince or crown prince is qualified to hold the position. However, in the eyes of the Mongolians, it is "housekeeping". Only the most useless people will be guarded at home, and those who are capable will
Went out to fight for territory.
Of course, Ali Buge has been in charge of the Imperial City for so many years, and no one would say anything even if he lived in the East Palace. But since Temujin came back, he insisted on moving out of the Imperial City and returning to his own mansion. This is also strange.
One thing at a time.
Not long after the time passed, the carriage arrived outside Ali Buge's mansion. Two guards guarding the door came forward. When they saw clearly that the person coming was "Geldan", they immediately bowed and saluted, "See General Galdan!"
Murong Fu nodded, "You two don't need to be polite. I'd like to ask you to tell me, Geerdan wants to see you."
Unexpectedly, the guard immediately replied, "The Eighth Prince has given an order. General Galdan does not need to inform you when he comes here. He can go directly in to see him."
Murong Fu was a little stunned when he heard this. It stands to reason that Brother Ali knew that he had a "tryst" with Kublai Khan. Even if he didn't immediately fall into the cold palace, he should be more careful. How could he be so generous and save even the gift?
In his thoughts, Murong Fu followed the path he walked that night and walked through the garden to the study. Outside the study stood two eunuchs on duty. When they saw "Geldan", they immediately said to the room, "Your Highness, Geldan."
The general is here."
"Please!" Alibu Ge's rich voice came from the room.
When Murong Fu entered the house, Brother Ali stood up to greet him and said with a smile, "Gerdan Anda is here so quickly, but what good news can you bring to me?"
Murong Fu deliberately pretended to have a bitter look on his face, "I'm afraid it's not good news."
"Oh?" Brother Alibu was startled when he heard this, "Tell me, what is it?"
Murong Fu sighed, "I have found out the identity of that Central Plains man. It is Murong Fu who defeated our Great Khan and caused the complete failure of the Eastern Expedition."
"It's him!" Brother Ali was shocked, "How could this person appear in Dadu?"
Murong Fu carefully observed the changes in his expression, and saw that although his face was extremely surprised, his eyes were very peaceful, and he had obviously known the news for a long time.
Murong Fu understood in his heart and said, "I don't know why he appeared in Dadu yet, but I did ask the former maids and servants of Ruyang Palace, and Princess Shao Min did have an ambiguous relationship with Murong Fu.
"
He dared to say this only after some thought. Although his relationship with Zhao Min is secret, but now that Ruyang Prince's Mansion has collapsed, it is not difficult to find out some clues as long as he is willing. Anyway, now he wants to use Brother Ali, so why not
Directly point out this relationship.
Brother Alibaba was surprised at first, then his expression changed, and he suddenly asked inexplicably, "If that's the case, what does An Da think about that matter?"
Murong Fu didn't understand what this meant for a while, so he asked, "What does Bu Ge'anda mean..."
Brother Alibu's eyes flickered, "Do you think this person might be of use to me?"
"Nonsense, of course it's impossible!" Murong Fu secretly despised him and said, "It's hard to say. We don't know much about Murong Fu. We only know that this man has extremely high martial arts skills and is very powerful in the Central Plains."
"Of course, the person who can defeat the Great Khan feels like a dream now when I think about it." Brother Ali said with emotion.
Murong Fu was very pleased and kept a calm expression on his face, "Bu Gean replied, this person is Dayuan's mortal enemy. If he is really related to him and spreads it..."
Brother Alibaba nodded, "You do need to be cautious about this, but it is not the key to the problem. Our first consideration now is, is it possible for this person to be used by me? Is the value of him worth the risk of buying him alone?"
