In November, the north is already covered with ice and snow, and biting cold winds blow by, picking up snowflakes and flying in the air.
In the west corner of the palace in the southwest corner of Kaiping, the newly built city of Mongolia (now east of Zhenglan Banner in Inner Mongolia), there is a simple and secluded room with simple facilities. In addition to a slightly old bookshelf filled with books, there is only a bed.
There is a table and a stool. At this moment, two men are sitting on the floor.
One of the middle-aged men, who was about fifty years old and wearing a yellow dragon robe, said: "Sir, what should I do next?"
This man in a dragon robe is Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia.
After the death of Meng Ge Khan of Mongolia five years ago, Kublai Khan, who was attacking Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei Province) in the Southern Song Dynasty, learned of the death of Meng Ge Khan, negotiated peace with Jia Sidao, and decided to return north to compete for the throne. Death of Meng Ge Khan
Later, all three of his brothers were qualified to be called khans. Originally, Mongolians had a custom of younger brothers inheriting the ancestral inheritance. However, after Meng Ge's youngest brother Hulagu became the Persian Khan in 1256, he stayed away from the Mongolian plateau and did not claim to inherit the throne of Great Khan.
Kublai Khan and his third brother Ali Bu Ge both became Khans in the same year. The two sides engaged in a drama of fratricide, which was almost repeated. It was not until recently that Kublai Khan won a complete victory with the surrender of Ali Bu Ge.
After Kublai Khan proclaimed himself Khan, he built a new city and palace in his base camp of Shangdu Prefecture in Kaiping. After defeating Ali Buge, he sent people to build a new city in Yanjing (today's Beijing) in preparation for moving the capital.
Kublai Khan was tall and bearded. Even when he was sitting on the ground, he looked extremely majestic. He had an extraordinary aura and a domineering air that he could not help but reveal. The man opposite him was called Kublai Khan.
The adult's man is very thin. He is wrapped in black clothes, only showing an old face. He looks like a person who will fall down in the wind.
The man in black is very old, and his face is calm and natural, seemingly calm and calm, making it difficult to see through the depth.
This man is none other than Yin Tianya, the Lord of Tianya whom Yuan Ji once talked about, and he is also the great god of Mongolian shamanism.
If Yuan Ji were present, he would definitely be able to see that this Yin Tianya is one of those peerless masters whose whole body is full of emptiness but makes it impossible for you to attack him. In Yuan Ji's mind, he is the number one master outside the Valley of the Kings.
The two men were sitting next to each other, with huge contrast in their statures.
Although he was the Great Khan of Mongolia, Kublai Khan showed great respect in front of Yin Tianya.
Yin Tianya said expressionlessly: "Great Khan, Brother Alibu, who is currently competing with the Great Khan for the throne, has surrendered and will be escorted to the capital in the near future. Brother Alibu is of the same ancestry as the Great Khan, so just imprison him.
At present, the Great Khan's position in the Central Plains has been stabilized. However, the four great khanates in the west, including the Kipchak Khanate, the Ogodei Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate, have not held a grand meeting with the participation of the direct descendants of the four sons of the ancestor Genghis Khan.
The Khuritai Conference violated the "Zhasa" (Code) set by the ancestors and the Chinese policy adopted by the Great Khan. They refused to recognize the position of the Great Khan. It was obvious that these four khanates wanted to divide Mongolia and become independent.
, However, at this time, the dispute between the Great Khan and Ali Buge had just ended, the national power was exhausted, and the people's morale was unstable. Although they negotiated peace with the Southern Song Dynasty, they could not rush to war with them. At the moment, they should straighten out the Han people's land and use the Han Dynasty to
Control the Han Dynasty, restore agriculture and commerce, strengthen national strength, and when the time is right, first destroy the Southern Dynasties, and then expand to the west."
Kublai Khan pondered for a moment and then said: "My lord, what you said makes sense. We must first restore our national strength. As long as our country becomes stronger, we will be able to move south or west. But we just ignore the western khanates?"
"Of course not. Now that the Central Plains has been temporarily settled, the Great Khan can immediately send urgent envoys to the Uluses (divisions of the kings) in the west, summon them east to the Mongolian grassland, and reconvene the Kulitai. He declares to them,
In accordance with traditional practices, the Great Khan is planning to hold a Khuritai Conference attended by kings of all clans in the territory of Qilvlian, the birthplace of his ancestors, to re-elect the Great Khan of Mongolia. The heads of the four major khanates all want to ascend to the throne.
If they become orthodox, we can take this opportunity to divide their alliances as much as possible, defeat them one by one, weaken their power first, or recover them, or let them attack each other, and then when the time comes, we can unify them."
Kublai Khan laughed and said: "Your Majesty, we will be in a favorable position whether they come or not."
Yin Tianya said calmly: "That's true, but I guess this meeting won't be held."
Kublai Khan knew that Yin Tianya had always made perfect calculations, so he did not ask for the reason and said, "Thank you for your guidance. I know what to do."
Yin Tianya nodded and said: "Everything has variables, we should take action at the right time." Then he frowned slightly: "But the speed seems to have been accelerated. In the early morning of October 26th, I looked at the sky and found the Song Dynasty destiny star.
Suddenly, the originally turbid and dim star suddenly shined brightly, intersecting with the destiny star of our dynasty. According to my detailed report from Tianya, the morning of the 26th was the day when Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty passed away. When Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne, it was only the Duzong of the Southern Dynasty.
Zhao You is also a mediocre and incompetent person, but somehow he can make his star shine so brightly."
"Sir, I also know that the son of Zhao He in the Southern Dynasty was a drunkard and should not have such a horoscope." Kublai Khan suddenly felt a heavy feeling.
If anyone else had said this, Kublai Khan would not have paid attention to it, but would have thought it was nonsense. But for Yin Tianya's words, Kublai Khan would naturally not think it was false.
Yin Tianya Technique and Wu Shuangxiu are really rare talents in shamanism for thousands of years. Even when Genghis Khan was alive, he would ask him for advice when encountering major problems. His tomb was selected according to the Yin Tianya Technique. Later, Wokuotai,
Meng Ge also valued Yin Tianya very highly, and Kublai Khan even treated him as a national advisor and called him a lord. The move of the capital also came from Yin Tianya's calculations. Yanjing is the land of dragons, and it can make the mission star shine.
.
It's just that Yin Tianya is a low-key person and rarely appears in public. Few people in Mongolia's court and abroad know about him.
"The Great Khan doesn't have to worry too much. These days, the Song Dynasty's destiny star has become flickering and elusive. Maybe it's just that Zhao Yu has just ascended the throne as emperor and this celestial phenomenon has occurred. I think it all depends on man-made things. The Great Khan only
We need to work hard to govern, and with the sage wisdom of the Great Khan and the might of my cavalry, we will surely defeat the decayed Southern Song Dynasty."
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. I will proceed with caution and speed up the process."
"Well, the Great Khan can take care of himself. In addition, my little disciple Boyan has completed his training. With a little training, he can become one of the great assistants of the Great Khan. Let him follow you to serve in the imperial court today.
"
When Kublai Khan heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, sir. Now I have another general in my dynasty."
Although Boyan was not very old, he had already grown into a majestic and burly man. His martial arts and martial arts were as good as Yin Tianya's true biography, and he was very popular with Kublai Khan. As Yin Tianya said, a few years later Boyan became one of the two men in the Mongolian army.
One of the great military gods.
"Sir, the new city of Yanjing has been basically completed. I have renamed it Zhongdu and will move there soon. Do you and Tianya need to go together?"
"Well, let's go there together when the time comes."
After Kublai Khan left, Yin Tianya thought to himself that in my Shamanism inheritance, the celestial phenomenon of twin stars has not appeared for a long time. The last time seemed to be more than 600 years ago, when Li Shimin and Qiu Bearker respectively represented the two fateful stars.
Such a scene had happened at the same time. Could it be that the same thing happened to Zhao Hugh and the Great Khan?
"Here comes someone."
Outside the door, a man in black entered the room and knelt down and said, "What are your orders, Lord God?"
"Fa Jue, please pass on my oracle and ask the temple's high priest Yang Liazhenjia and the four elders to work carefully to find out as much as possible about Zhao Yu's every move in the Song Dynasty. They need to monitor it for a long time and report back to me even the trivial details. But
