Chapter 1069
"Prime Minister Boyan is a minister who can truly share His Majesty's worries."

On the outskirts of Luoyang, Dong Wenzhong heard several young officials gathering to discuss Boyan, so he reminded him with a sullen face.

His son Dong Shishan dared to continue to speak a few words.

"Who isn't? Uncle, can't you share your worries for His Majesty? How many heroes in the Yuan Dynasty have dedicated themselves to His Majesty, why is Boyan the only one who can be directly promoted to Prime Minister?"

Dong Wenzhong frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with his son's speechlessness, and also as if he was dissatisfied with Boyan's stepping up to the sky, he opened his mouth and said softly: "Shut up."

It turned out that he was dissatisfied with his son.

"Your Majesty knows Boyan's talent when he sees him. The wisdom of employing people is unprecedented. You are a child who is ignorant, don't talk nonsense."

Recently, Dayuan officials mentioned Boyan in public, and most of them used this rhetoric.

"Fart employing people!"

No, but the young and energetic Dong Shishan didn't stick to one thing, and dared to speak out in front of his father.

"Bo Yan just pleased His Majesty."

When the surrounding officials and generals heard this, they all sniggered and clapped their hands for the word "fart".

Da Yuan is different from Song State, they don't have so many etiquette restraints in Song State, and they have a kind of rough pride in them.

Dong Wenzhong shook his head, but instead of punishing them, he walked to the front of the team.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw smoke billowing in front of me. It was Dayuan's Guanglu doctor and Zhongshu Zuocheng Prime Minister Boyan who had left the town of Henan.

These years, Dong Wenbing sat in Henan and tried to control Li Xia. Regardless of whether the result was good or bad, the situation has changed now, and it is Boyan's era...

~~
"Ha ha ha ha."

Accompanied by a burst of thunderous laughter, the tall and mighty Boyan raised his hand after seeing Dong Shifan, and said, "I heard that you are the one who keeps saying that I am not worthy of being prime minister?"

Dong Shilian couldn't help being surprised.

The surrounding officials and generals also changed their faces, and the scene was very embarrassing.

No one expected that Boyan would spread out the criticism so frankly and directly in public. Will he be able to pursue the crime?

Only Dong Wenzhong remained calm, bowed to Boyan, and said: "My son is born stupid and speaks rudely, please forgive me, Prime Minister."

Boyan suddenly put away the smile on his face, stared at Dong Shihan, and asked, "Do you think the Ilkhanate is not His Majesty's territory?"

"Don't dare." Dong Shishan panicked after being stared at by those lightning-like eyes, and said, "Of course it's His Majesty's territory."

"Do you think Xu Liewu Khan is not His Majesty's king?"

Dong Shishan panicked even more, and said, "Yes, it's His Majesty's title king."

"Then I followed Hulagu Khan to destroy Mulaiyi Kingdom and Abbas Kingdom, expand the territory for 80 miles, and kill [-] enemies. In your eyes, don't you think that the hard work is expanding the territory for His Majesty?!"

"Yes, it's the prime minister's great contribution..."

The young Dong Shishan didn't know what to do after all the shouting and asking, no matter whether he was convinced or not, he dared not criticize in public.

Of course, for Boyan, there is still a long way to go to convince the public.

Dong Wenzhong saw Boyan's magnanimity and straightforwardness from this trivial matter, and thought that these things could be settled, at least Boyan was not someone who secretly resented, and he also cared about the overall situation of the country.

After entering Luoyang City, the two talked privately, but Boyan's attitude was much gentler.

"They all work for Dayuan. I won't blame your son, but we are guarding Henan and we are facing a powerful enemy. I will not allow your son to make the same mistake again."

"Yes, thank you, Prime Minister."

"When I was in Kaiping, I often heard His Majesty talk about Big Brother Dong. Back then, when he went south to Dali and passed through Tubo, his journey was difficult and dangerous. His Majesty has never forgotten the achievements of Big Brother Dong."

Dong Wenzhong quickly kowtowed to thank God.

It was only then that Boyan began to talk about the situation in the world. He may be the first person to understand Kublai Khan's strategic intentions.

"Since the death of Meng Ge Khan, His Majesty has been facing the struggle for the Mongolian Khan position, and has no energy to look south, allowing Li Xia to take advantage of it. Li Xia is already the greatest enemy of His Majesty's unification of the world..."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and asked Dong Wenzhong, "Can you play Go?"

"will not."

"Struggling for the world is like playing chess, it is the knowledge of encirclement and anti-encirclement."

It is said to be Go, but in fact Dayuan's strategy comes from hunting.

Boyan said again: "Da Yuan has just come out of the battle for the position of Khan, and he needs to rest for two or three years. In these two or three years, he must be ready to attack Li Xia. What are you preparing for? Surround him."

"He is very smart. He united Haidu, Ulu Hunai, and Gaochang Uighur in the Western Regions, and supported the puppet Khan Sheriji. Now, His Majesty is going to start a counterattack. The first thing is to break their alliance in the Western Regions, Anxi The king attacked the Western Regions, this is the northwest corner; the southeast corner, instigating Li Xia and the Zhao family, making them turn against each other. Looking at the southwest corner, your elder brother Dong Wenbing accompanied the king of Yan to escort the national division back to Tubo, set up military and political officials, recruit soldiers and horses, two or three Years later, they will be able to form an army...the Western Regions, the Song Kingdom, and Tubo, by the time His Majesty personally conquers, Li Xia is already in a situation of being 'besieged from all sides', with enemies everywhere."

Only then did Dong Wenzhong finally understand why Dong Wenbing was transferred and Boyan was sent to Henan.

The seemingly irrelevant appointments all come from the same strategy, which is to block Li Xia's entire Tang country.

His Majesty the Great Yuan Emperor made a move to regard the whole world as a chessboard.Whether it is the vast desert of the Western Regions, the snow-capped Tubo, or the Jiangnan with rivers and lakes, they are all just a corner of the chessboard.

Of course, the real main direction of attack is still in the east and north.

"Your Majesty transferred Big Brother Dong because he was important to him." Boyan's eyes sparkled, and he said, "It's not because he suspects that he secretly communicated with Li Xia."

"Prime Minister Mingjian, although Dong Wenyong rebelled, my second brother Dong Wenwei was killed in Wuguan. The Dong family has a grudge against Li Xia."

Boyan nodded, stood up, and patted Dong Wenzhong on the shoulder.

"I have explained this clearly to you. I hope that we can work together in Henan, put aside our prejudices, and do our best for state affairs."

Having said all this, Dong Wenzhong naturally had only one answer. He bowed deeply and said, "I would like to work together with the prime minister!"

"Okay, okay!" Boyan embraced him and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to two great talents. With their help, we will definitely be able to break through Tongguan."

Not long after, two Hui people with deep eyes and high nose came in.

"Come on, Alao Wading and Yisi Mayin. Dayuan has newly established the Artisan Mansion of Huihui Pao, and these two are the chief managers..."

~~
The arrival of Boyan made Dong Wenzhong's wavering heart settle down again.

At least he understood one thing... When Emperor Dayuan was going to attack Li Xia, he had a very clear and effective strategic thinking.

This sense of oppression surrounded by layers made him feel strong again.

And Li Xia, who was about to be in the encirclement, might not have discovered this danger yet, or it would be beyond his reach if he discovered it.

After all, not everyone can be as resourceful as Prime Minister Boyan...

~~
In a cave in the mountains of the Hehuang Land.

"Have you ever thought that after Emperor Tang broke with Song State, he became a precarious dragon on the chessboard?"

When Yan Yunyun held the dagger on his neck, the lama in red, who acted as if he was indifferent to life and death, suddenly asked this question.

The pressure of the dagger lightened slightly.

The lama in red said again: "When Emperor Da Yuan personally leads the army to go south, Emperor Tang is surrounded by enemies, how should we deal with it?"

"As a monk, you also consider these?"

"Be sympathetic to all living beings and wish for a peace."

"Are you testing me?"

Yan Yunyun captured the opponent, took the initiative, and was not afraid of the opponent's temptation at all, so he said again: "How about taking the Hetao? Taking the Hetao is like breaking Meng Yuan's arm, so that Kublai Khan can no longer exert influence on the Western Regions and Tubo."

The red-clothed lama nodded slowly, and said, "It turns out that Tang Guo did not sit still and wait for death."

Yan Yunyun discusses state affairs with Li Xia, Han Chengxu, and Han Qi'an every day, and he understands Li Xia's thoughts of wanting to fight Hetao best. Meng Yuan has been separated far away, but will he still serve Kublai Khan?"

"You shouldn't hope to persuade Chana Dorje." The red lama asked: "Chana Dorje, who changed into Mongolian clothes, married a Mongolian princess, and was sent back to Sakya early, is more trusted, or has he been left behind?" The Basiba of the Central Plains is more trusted?"

Yan Yunyun and Hao Xiuyang exchanged glances, and put away the dagger.

The lama in red saved his life, and said again: "Why don't some benefactors take the poor monk to Chang'an to have a meeting with Emperor Tang?"

"Are you Basiba?"

The lama in red glanced at the dagger in Yan Yunyun's hand, and said with a smile, "You can be a monk."

"What can it be?"

"Ba Siba left Tubo at the age of ten. How many Tibetans have seen him? The benefactor brought the young monk back to Chang'an and met with His Majesty the Tang Emperor. The young monk can go to Tubo on the tea-horse road to appease the Tibetan people."

"it works?"

"It's more useful than real Basiba."

Hao Xiuyang was greatly disappointed, and said: "This is the eminent monk of your Buddhist sect? He fought many tricks, but he gave in because of a dagger?"

"The Daoist has a good figure. In the past, the Changchun Daoist traveled thousands of miles to meet with dragons and horses, and the former Pandita traveled thousands of miles to Liangzhou to meet the League. Is it for the sake of practice? It's for the secular."

The lama in red seemed more compassionate, closed his eyes, and said, "What is secular? All living beings..."

~~
"Do you trust him?"

"I don't believe it." Yan Yunyun said lightly.

It was already dawn, and she was leaning against the stone wall, looking at the sky, with a pensive look on her face.

There are few clouds in the northwest, and the air is thin and clean. You can see extremely far places, such as the snow on the top of Qilian Mountain in the distance.

In this bright and clean light, his thoughts seemed to be clear.

"I think the person we captured is Ba Siba."

"Then why didn't he admit it, but said he 'could be'?"

"For..." Yan Yunyun pondered for a while, then asked, "For keeping secret?"

"Secret?"

"Don't the Daoist wonder who that young man in fox fur is in the Yuan army?"

"Not curious."

"But I'm curious. It must be a person with a higher status than the national teacher, so it's worth keeping him secret."

"According to the old Taoist, we can go back." Hao Xiuyang wrapped his arms around his body, looking a little afraid of the cold, his nose was flushed by the mountain wind, and said again: "Whether the lama is Ba Siba or not, he is still an important person. You've done your work this time."

"I don't do things for meritorious service." Yan Yunyun interrupted suddenly, with a rather blunt tone, "I do things for His Majesty's consideration, and I hate people who only think about their own merits."

That is, Hao Xiuyang, who was able to wave his hands freely, sighed: "Then we should go back. There is no dry food, and it would be better to go back to the Tang Dynasty to deliver news to the soldiers and horses who came behind, than to bring these people here hunger and cold."

"No, we're not going back."

Yan Yunyun made up his mind, turned around and walked back to the cave suddenly, and lifted the lama in red who was tied there but was still meditating.

"You said you are willing to serve my emperor, right? You said that young man in fox fur in the pavilion is Ba Siba, right? Okay, then help me kill that Ba Siba..."
