After all, Borshu is a fierce general under Genghis Khan, a close friend, and has a high status. Even Meng Ge's father, Tuo Lei, has to give Borshu some face, let alone Meng Ge.
Borshu's face was serious and he said: "The Great Khan knew that you were coming to kill the Song envoy, so he ordered me to stop you."
After that, Borshu ordered his men to take off Meng Ge's clothes and beat him severely with a whip.
Meng Ge was shocked and shouted: "Boshu, what are you going to do? Let me go."
Borshu said: "The Great Khan ordered me to execute you. The Great Khan said that if you don't die after the execution, the matter will no longer be pursued. If you can't bear it and die, it will be your own fault."
Borshu's whip kept hitting Meng Ge hard until the skin was torn and blood dripped.
"Brother Meng, you will be left on the grassland for three days. Whether you will live or die after three days will depend on your fate."
Let's talk. Borshu looked at Jiang Wanli again and said to him: "Meng Ge's behavior made the Great Khan angry. The Great Khan has already punished him. Please forgive him."
Jiang Wanli was shocked by Genghis Khan's decisiveness and righteousness, and sighed in his heart, no wonder Genghis Khan could achieve such an achievement, he was indeed a rare person in thousands of years.
Jiang Wanli raised his hand and said: "Thank you General, and please tell the Great Khan that I believe this is a private act of his subordinates and has nothing to do with him. The agreement and commitment between Song and Meng are still valid. I look forward to seeing you soon."
Liupanshan and the Great Khan meet again."
Borshu nodded, expressed his appreciation for Jiang Wanli's magnanimity, and left immediately.
Meng Ge, on the other hand, was taken to an open pasture by Borshu. There were no herdsmen and no water sources nearby. He would be banned here for three days.
At this time, Meng Ge had been whipped and seriously injured. How could he survive for three days?
But this is Genghis Khan's order, and no one dares to disobey it. Whether Meng Ge lives or dies can only depend on God's will.
Kublai Khan was shocked when he learned that Meng Ge had been punished so severely.
Kublai Khan quickly found his father's adviser Jia Kang and asked him about countermeasures.
Jia Kang is afraid. Now that Tuo Lei's life and death are unknown, and Meng Ge has been severely dealt with, everything is developing in a direction that is not conducive to Tuo Lei's lineage. Moreover, Wo Kuotai has been established as the crown prince. Even if Tuo Lei is still alive, he will no longer be able to control it.
The supreme power is destined to fail.
If he had given Kublai Khan advice and still stood firmly on Tuo Lei's side, he might have risked his life.
So Jia Kang shied away, saying that he had nothing to do. After Kublai Khan left, he went to see Ogedai privately and asked to be thrown into Ogedai's tent.
On the surface, Wokuotai was angry at Jia Kang's defection, but in his heart he was happy, which showed that he was becoming more and more authoritative.
He pretended to reprimand Jia Kang, but his words let Jia Kang know that this was just Wokuotai's superficial article, and the real meaning was that he was happy.
Jia Kang understood the profound meaning of Wokuotai and left with satisfaction.
When Kublai Khan learned about this, he wanted to understand the reason and was very angry at Jia Kang's behavior.
Then he found Jia Kang and asked, "Jia Kang, you dog slave, if my father hadn't pardoned you back then, you would have been beheaded. How could you be here today?"
Jia Kang didn't pay much attention to Kublai Khan, a teenage boy, and just said perfunctorily: "Little prince, this is a major matter for adults, and it is beyond your ability to understand. Jia Kang will explain it to you someday.
"
Kublai Khan was furious and immediately drew his sword and stabbed Jia Kang away.
"you you,,,"
Jia Kang was shocked and had no defense at all. His eyes widened and he looked at Kublai Khan in disbelief.
Kublai Khan looked at Jia Kang fiercely and said: "Even if my father dies in the battle, even if my eldest brother Meng is killed, my Tuo Lei lineage will last forever. You Jia Kang dare to have second thoughts, how can I, Kublai Khan?"
Spare you!"
After saying that, Kublai Khan drew his sword and strode away regardless of the bleeding Jia Kang.
Then Kublai Khan rode to find Meng Ge. When he found Meng Ge, Meng Ge was already dying, and there were big birds hovering in the sky, ready to enjoy a feast at any time.
"Brother, big brother."
Kublai Khan rushed over, held Meng Ge in his arms, gave him a water bag, and let him drink.
Meng Ge had a strong survival instinct, so he grabbed the water bag and started drinking heavily.
"Brother, let's go. I will take you to see Grandpa Khan and admit your mistake to him."
When Meng Ge regained some consciousness, Kublai Khan helped Meng Ge onto his horse and took him to see Genghis Khan.
Brother Meng did not refuse, because he knew that if Grandpa Khan did not nod, he would never survive.
At the same time, I was even more moved by Kublai Khan. This younger brother was truly a good brother.
The two brothers came outside Genghis Khan's tent and knelt on the ground sincerely. Kublai Khan said loudly: "Grandpa Khan, Brother Meng knows that he was wrong. Please forgive him."
Brother Meng had tears on his face and loudly said: "Grandpa Khan, I know I was wrong. I was caring about my father and eager for revenge. I have no selfish motives. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will never do it again."
Dare you."
But there was no response from Genghis Khan inside, no sound at all.
Kublai Khan was overjoyed and made no sound. This at least meant that he brought Meng Ge back privately, and Grandfather Khan did not resent it.
Kublai Khan cried even louder, which was pitiful.
Soon, Borshu and Subotai also came, as well as Genghis Khan's two younger brothers Zhuochi Hesar and Timuge. They also came after hearing the news.
Several of them were moved by Kublai Khan's deep affection for his brother, and they all knelt in front of Genghis Khan's tent and begged Genghis Khan for forgiveness.
When Yelu Chucai learned about this, he already knew that it was almost inevitable that Meng Ge would be pardoned, so he quickly found Wo Kuotai and told him about the matter.
Finally, Yelu Chucai said: "Third Prince, please quickly advise the Great Khan and ask him to forgive Meng Ge's sins. Otherwise, your reputation will be affected."
Hearing this, Wokuotai came to Genghis Khan's tent and immediately came to Genghis Khan's tent. He burst into tears and said, "Father, my brother Tuo Lei is currently in the Song Dynasty and his life and death are unknown. If he knew that Brother Meng would die, how would he feel?"
Father, please forgive Brother Meng this time for the sake of Brother Tuo Lei and because Brother Meng is still young and acts impulsively."
Ogedei's words reminded Genghis Khan again of his beloved son Tolei. Finally, he felt compassion and ordered someone to send a message to pardon Meng Ge.
At the same time, after this incident, Genghis Khan also looked at Kublai Khan with admiration.
When Meng Ge was being punished, no one dared to step forward to help, but Kublai Khan dared to lend a helping hand. This sincerity allowed Genghis Khan to see the simplest emotions between relatives.
He had not felt this emotion for a long time because of the intrigue among his four sons. It can be said that the big reason that prompted Genghis Khan to pardon Meng Ge was because of this touch.
