At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 179 Kublai Khan expressed dissatisfaction

In October of the 16th year of the Yuan Dynasty, light snow fell across the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. There were heavy snowflakes in the north of the Yellow River, and the sky was gloomy.

In the Daming Hall, the atmosphere was as depressing as the sky.

Since the beginning of the court meeting, Kublai Khan had said nothing with a gloomy face, and the ministers naturally remained silent.

It’s no wonder that the emperor was in a bad mood. Ever since Zhang Shijie and Jiang Cai raided Yangzhou and captured Chuzhou, Xuyi, Sizhou and Lianshui, the Yuan army retreated again and again. Gaoyou, Chuzhou, Zhenzhou, Hezhou, Wuweijun, Luzhou and other places almost gave way to each other.

Although Shi Bi was stationed in Haozhou, Ashu was stationed, Zhudu was stationed in Lu'an, and Li Heng was stationed in Jizhou. After being connected with Hunan, they guarded Hubei with a diagonal line, but more than half of the Jianghuai area was lost.

If it were not for the difficulty of sea-going ships in displaying their power in the Yellow River, I am afraid that the Song army would launch a massive attack on Shandong.

Even so, large troops had to be stationed along the coast of Shandong, and fortresses and towers were built to prevent the Song army from following suit and raiding Huai'an.

In Japan, the army that conquered the east was frightened by the thunder and retreated three hundred miles. Although it quickly stabilized its position, it lost most of its ships.

It was such a shame that Kublai Khan couldn't figure it out. How could the young emperor of the Song Dynasty dare to sell Tianlei to the Japanese without fear that this evil dog would bite his owner?
The front lines were all defeated, so it would be strange for Kublai Khan to feel better.

What's even worse is that when Zhao Fu's case was discovered and he was arrested and imprisoned, he confessed a long list of names without even being tortured.

Look who's there.

Yao Shu, Xu Heng, Dou Mo, Dong Wenzhong, Shi Shu... It's just a joke. These people are either senior ministers or nobles from the North. How is it possible... It's not impossible.

Ideology can only be judged by the heart, but not by deeds. Kublai Khan looked at everyone as a traitor.

The problem is, not only these people, but also a large number of young low-level officials and students, there must be a big problem.

In half a year, [-] copies of Ethnology were printed in Guangdong, and almost everyone who could read had read it.

The reason why it was so big was because the battle on the frontline attracted everyone's attention. By the time they discovered it, it was already too late.

If you say it’s okay, who will believe it?

If Kublai Khan really wanted to raise his butcher's knife, let alone Chineseization, he would just go back to the grassland to herd sheep and horses.

"Before the New Year, those who voluntarily hand in the letter will not be guilty of any crime. After the New Year, those who keep it privately will be punished by the clan."

"Your Majesty is holy." The Hanchens nodded and bowed, all heaving a sigh of relief.

"How to deal with Zhao Fu himself?" Kublai Khan asked.

The Han ministers remained silent for fear of being burned, but Meng Chen had no such worries.

"Big Khan, I think I should be killed in the market, to make an example of others." Ahema said.

"That's inappropriate." Hudu Cha'er said, "Zhao Fu is on the envoy exchange list of the Song Dynasty, and he is ranked above the three palaces of the Zhao family. If he kills, I'm afraid there will be retaliation from the Song Dynasty."

After losing the front line, Yuanting turned from offense to defense, especially in Shandong Province, which was in panic. This all required arrangements by Hudu Chaer.

There was no other way. After Boyan went north, he became the right prime minister again, and his responsibilities lay with him.

This spring, the two sides were negotiating the exchange of prisoners, but because Xie Daoqing and the other three were too sensitive, they stalemate, and Yuan Ting didn't pay much attention to Zhao Fu.

Now that I think about it, Song Ting is really a bitch.

Xie Daoqing, Zhao and Quan are each worth ten thousand households, and Zhao Fu is worth five.

After killing Zhao Fu, he even had to beheaded. Even with his toes, he could imagine that Song Ting would take revenge.

How to take revenge?Of course it's equal killing.

Who hasn’t missed a chance yet?There was a chance to come back, but the court blocked the way out. No one dared to blame Kublai Khan, and they had no reason to blame Kudu Chaer.

If the people's hearts are scattered, the team cannot lead, so Hudu Cha'er had to speak.

"Since the Great Khan has decided not to offend the readers, why not show mercy by releasing the author?" Kudu Chaer urged again.Kublai Khan was the hero after all, and said: "The exchange of prisoners with the Song Dynasty must be carried out quickly."

"I obey the order." Suddenly Duchaer breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the Han officials.

At the very least, this hurdle is over.

After the court meeting dispersed, Kudu Cha'er immediately sent someone to bring Zhao Fu to prison.

The emperor was furious and ordered a major case. The criminals might have to face the emperor to apologize. The jailers were afraid that Zhao Fu would die in prison, so they gave him some care.

The condition looks pretty good.

After he was released from prison, he was still under house arrest, but the environment and food were much better. Of course, no one would come to see him, and even the people who delivered meals did not dare to say a word.

Zhao Fu didn't care and settled down with peace of mind. He had no pen and ink, so he cut branches into pens and used the ground as paper to write ethnography repeatedly. If he gained something, he would be overjoyed.

After more than a month like this, Xu Heng came.

"When the incident happened, everyone was avoiding snakes and scorpions, but Zhongping actually dared to come." Zhao Fu said.

"I came here under the imperial edict, not for personal friendship, Renfu, don't worry about it." Xu Heng said with embarrassment.

Because of the Zhao Fu case, Kublai Khan gave the envoy Xuanfu Mansion an additional task - to check for rebellion.

Originally, officials were dispatched to serve as envoys to propagate and appease the people, proclaim virtues and wishes, inquire about the sufferings of the people, clear up grievances and stagnation, eliminate troubles and harshness, observe whether the officials were virtuous, and depose them clearly.Those who are guilty will apply for suspension from their posts if they are above the fourth rank, and they will be executed if they are below the fifth rank. All matters of benefit and elimination of harm among the people will be heard and carried out, and the rest will be closed and reported to those who heard it, which is equivalent to the supervisory agency of Yushitai. Now it has transformed into a full-time internal intelligence agency, equivalent to the Song Dynasty Imperial City Department.

Although the Fengfu government has not taken any action so far, everyone is acting cautiously, lest the god of plague comes to visit.

"What does Kublai Khan have to say?" Zhao Fu asked.

Xu Heng took out a book and said: "Your Majesty gathered literary scholars to compile a book and asked Renfu to correct it."

Zhao Fu took it and saw that the cover said "Theory of Strong Race". When he opened it, he saw that it was the theory of "Survival of the Fittest by Natural Selection". It did not propose the theory of evolution, but it did have such meaning.

The specific content is that the reason why Dayuan can be established is because the Yuan clan is the most adaptable existence to this world.

Yes, the Yuan people are at odds with the Chinese people.

"Kublai Khan was so imaginative that he actually created the Yuan clan." Zhao Fu mocked: "I've never seen a clan speak two languages, with different hairstyles and clothes!"

What can Xu Heng say?
The higher the culture, the more you will feel that Kublai Khan's actions are useless.

Zhao Fu asked: "Your Majesty's theory of ethnicity did not mention strength or weakness, it only determined my origin.

Zhong Ping thinks, are what you have done betraying the ethnic group?To this day, do you still think that Kublai Khan is orthodox? "

Xu Heng couldn't answer.

Kublai Khan was of foreign origin, but they supported him wholeheartedly because he was willing to take the road of Hanization. However, to this day, he has not become a Han nationality, and cannot even be considered a member of the Chinese nation.

Because all imperial edicts and official documents must be written in Mongolian first and Chinese at the end, the meaning can be seen at a glance.

In the past, Yuanting was powerful and had a good reputation, so everyone could deceive themselves and others. Now that the fig leaf has been lifted, Xu Heng is already doubting his life.

Seeing Zhao Fu handing the book back, Xu Heng took it and staggered away.

Kublai Khan listened to Xu Heng's report and said, "Renfu thinks this book is not as good as Zhao's children's theory of ethnicity?"

"There are no flaws and cannot be refuted." Xu Heng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, if you want to consolidate the hearts of the people, you must continue to implement the Han system of Han law."

"Go back."

Kublai Khan didn't want to say more, he just wanted to continue to improve the theory of strong clans, but he didn't believe it. After decades of diligent study, he was still no better than a mere child.
