Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 639: The Crown Prince, Father and Son Night Talk, the Future of the Empire

During this expedition to Europe, his eldest son did a really good job, and Zhang Yong was very satisfied.

"Father! This time we succeeded. We conquered the Kublai Khanate and the Golden Horde. In accordance with your wishes, we pacified the Northern Russia region and also attacked the European countries." Zhang Dingguan said.

"I know, I've seen everything you've done! From today on, you're the crown prince of the Daqian Empire. From tomorrow on, you'll follow Chen Yan from the cabinet to familiarize yourself with some formations and handle some state affairs." Zhang Yong nodded and said.

Originally, he planned to observe his other sons for a while, but now, Zhang Yong has decided to pass the throne to his eldest son because it is the safest way to do so.

All of his sons were supposed to be eligible to inherit this supreme position, but Rhodes could not pass it on casually.

Because of seniority, his eldest son is the eldest son, his biological mother is also the queen, and his grandfather is Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire.

More importantly, this son had made great military achievements. He began to fight on the battlefield when he was a teenager, and made countless contributions in the northern desert, the southern part of the Central Plains, and finally in the expedition to Europe.

All the brothers are convinced by their eldest brother. If they pass the throne to someone else, it will cause dissatisfaction among all the princes.

More importantly, the Mongolian soldiers occupied a large number in the imperial power he now ruled, and they were part of his army and had intermediate combat effectiveness.

The succession of Genghis Khan's grandson to the throne was more orthodox, and making the eldest son the crown prince could be said to be well-deserved.

"Our emperor is wise!" All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and spoke.

The establishment of a beloved son is a great joyous event for the entire country. The establishment of a crown prince means the determination of the successor to the next emperor and the succession of imperial power.

The successor has been determined, and the prince has his own son, so the future of the entire country is promising.

"Hahaha! Announce to the world that I, Daqian, have established the crown prince." Zhang Yong said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

That evening, Zhang Yong prepared a sumptuous celebration banquet to welcome back his sons who had just returned from the Western Expedition. The happiest people among them were the mothers, as their sons had been away for more than three years and now they were finally back.

The most important thing is that after his son came back this time, he made great military achievements and officially became the successor of this empire. Tulanlun was very happy in his heart.

"Good boy! This is the descendant of Genghis Khan! This is your father's son. Remember your grandfather and your father are conquerors in the world, and you also want to become a conqueror." Tulanlun said.

"Mom! Now that the whole world has been conquered by us, why do we need me to conquer it again?" Zhang Dingguan said with a helpless smile.

Although it was always the father and their brothers who fought, the most warlike person in the family was definitely their mother!
"How come it's gone? What about the Delhi Sultanate? What about those Fuso people overseas? And I heard from your father that there are many, many countries far away overseas. You and your children will have to conquer these places in the future." Tulanlun said.

My man is the Great Khan of Mongolia! He is also the emperor of the Central Plains. Naturally, he must become a real conqueror and conquer everything he can see.

"I have already started planning for the war against Fuso. Our navy has been well trained. I will choose a suitable day and launch an attack on those countries in Fuso." Zhang Yong put down his wine glass and spoke.

Conquering the land of Xiaori has always been in his plan. In recent years, he has been vigorously developing the navy. In addition to engaging in maritime trade, he is also preparing to conquer that land.

That land has very strong typhoon weather, which forms a natural protective barrier for them.

Over the years, Zhang Yong has been training the navy to adapt to the local weather and analyzing the local weather conditions in real time. He would choose a suitable day and launch a war of conquest against that country.

"Father! The distant continent that mother was talking about, is it the American continent that you mentioned to us when we were young?" Zhang Dingguan asked.

"It's that continent, but your generation doesn't need to conquer that continent. You can't take a step too far, otherwise you'll easily get hurt.

The same applies to the country. We cannot set goals that are too far ahead at one time, otherwise we will not be able to achieve them.

You need to send sailors to find the continent first, establish a correct route, find a correct waterway, and then build a large ship that can sail on the sea for several months before you can conquer the country. "Zhang Yong said.

Wanting to explore the American continent is not just talk. I do have a world map in my hand, but even if there is a world map, how many people in this era can understand it?

And all he had was a rough world map, heading from the coast of China to the American continent.

But it was an unimaginable voyage that would take several months even in modern times, let alone in the ancient Middle Ages.

Preparing ships, storing food, and opening up waterways all take time, and it is not something that can be accomplished in one generation.

"I understand, father! Don't worry, once I take the position of minister, I will govern the country well and strive to open a route to America." Zhang Dingguan said.

"Well! I'm glad that you have this intention. Remember, don't be too hasty. If you are too hasty, you will not get what you want." Zhang Yong nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, your son will always remember your father's teachings! Father, when I came back, I heard that my second brother was fighting well on the western battlefield. I wonder what the latest battle report is?" Zhang Dingguan asked.

When he returned from the Western Expedition, he also received some war reports from the West. His second brother had already established a firm foothold in the land of Khwarezm and destroyed the Mulashni Kingdom, that is, the Assassins organization.

It is said that this organization is very powerful, and the assassin army that his father is proud of was trained using the methods of this organization.

There is no doubt about how powerful the assassination unit is. My father's army has been able to turn the tide many times and win defeat, and has been able to obtain key intelligence many times, all of which was brought by the assassination unit.

"Second brother, the battle over there is going well. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach Egypt in a year at most." Zhang Yong said.

The news of the fall of Baghdad had reached his capital not long ago. Zhang Yong also watched the battle report in person. His second in command fought very well in this battle!
He completely destroyed this ancient empire that had competed with the Tang Dynasty for supremacy during its heyday and even defeated the Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Talas, and killed the contemporary caliph.

If nothing unexpected happens, his son will then conquer the entire Damascus area, which is the Ayyubid dynasty.

The power of the Ayyubid Dynasty was no longer as strong as before, and even Egypt was separated from its territory.

His son has hundreds of thousands of troops and the help of the European Crusader States, so it won't take long for him to capture these areas.

The terrain in this area is very good, and is very suitable for cavalry and field corps troops to operate.

After attacking the Ayyubid Dynasty, the last enemy left for his second son was Egypt. The land of Egypt has always been a battleground for military strategists, and this land is very fertile.

Moreover, this time, the Queen of Egypt has become her own son's concubine, so it is justified to send troops to Egypt. We are going to help you suppress the rebellion, not as invaders.

"Father! I have something to tell you." Zhang Dingguan came to Zhang Yong and spoke quietly.

Zhang Yong nodded and waved his hand, asking some low-ranking concubines and some underage children in the hall to leave. Some dancers and musicians were also asked to leave temporarily.

"Now you can tell me what you want to say. Here are your mother and brothers." Zhang Yong said.

"When your emperor and the crown prince discuss important matters, we women are not allowed to listen in." Tulanlun stood up and said.

Although Zhang Yong was not very shy about this matter, as the queen, she still had to be cautious about it, after all, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

Although Zhang Yong did not drive them away, as the commander of the harem, she had to take all the women out.

"Sister is right! There are some things that we women cannot listen to." Xiaoyun said.

"Well! Take the other children downstairs first! Eat some meat and drink some wine." Under the leadership of the queen and the imperial concubine, all of Zhang Yong's harem women retreated, even including several adult sons.

For a moment, only the father and son were left in the huge palace.

"Okay! Now you can say whatever you want to say." Zhang Yong looked at his son and said.

"Father! Earlier, I invited the new Pope Innocent IV to visit the Hungarian capital.

When inviting the Pope, I sent people from the assassination unit to observe and record all their conversations, and also used your dash cam.

All their conversations were recorded, and I found out that these barbarians from the West actually wanted to betray our alliance." Zhang Dingguan took out the dashcam from his arms, handed it to Zhang Yong and said.

"Oh! I don't understand what they are saying. It doesn't matter whether you watch the video or not. Just tell me what you heard." Zhang Yong asked.

I don't have the time to learn so many languages. When I invaded Europe, I only learned one language. Now I can speak three languages: Chinese, Mongolian, and Romansh.

"Father! This European Pope has openly promised to help us launch the Western Expedition and will send his Crusaders to support us in the war.

But the Pope ultimately wants to bring Jerusalem and Egypt under European rule." Zhang Dingguan said.

At the same time, he told Zhang Yong all the conversations between the Pope and the Knights Templar that night.

"Hahaha! This group of Western temples actually also has the Pope. I have known what they want to do for a long time! By the way, have you sent the child of your uncle Guyuk, the orthodox king of Jerusalem, to your second brother?" Zhang Yong asked.

"How can I not follow what my father has told me to do?
After the little prince arrived in the West, I introduced him to the Pope and handed him over to the Grand Master of the Knights Templar.

At the same time, he was given command of part of the Hungarian noble army and was sent to the West. "Zhang Dingguan said.

"Then I'm relieved. The Second Brother will handle this matter. And if they have the ability, they can take Jerusalem and Egypt as long as they have the ability.

Anyone can take anything from me, even my head, if they have the ability, they can try to take it." Zhang Yong sneered and said.

If you want to take things from me, you must make enough military achievements and conquer those lands yourself.

That's yours. I don't care. But if my son takes over that place, it won't be so easy for you to get a piece of the pie.

However, the land of Jerusalem has serious religious significance and is extremely important to Western countries.

Unless all those Western countries are destroyed, as long as we occupy Jerusalem, they will continue to attack.

Using Jerusalem as a buffer zone is also a good idea, so he released Guyuk's youngest son.

As for Egypt, the second brother had written to Zhang Yong before, telling him about this land. In the future, he would have a child with the Egyptian queen, and then hand it over to the child to rule as a vassal state.

Zhang Yong had no objection to this. After all, the land was too large to be managed by a centralized authority, so a feudal system had to be adopted. It was enough as long as it was guaranteed to be the bloodline of his own family.

"Father! I'm just worried that my second brother will suffer. The Pope of Europe and those Knights Templar are even conspiring to launch a sneak attack on my second brother at a critical moment after the war is over and seize the fruits of victory." Zhang Dingxia said.

"Well! This matter indeed has to be prevented, but since we already know about it, they will not succeed. You should have told the second brother about this matter in advance, right?" Zhang Yong asked.

Zhang Yong knew very well that his eldest brother was very cautious in doing things, and the second brother was more calm and steady. As long as he received the news in advance, the enemy would basically not be able to make any waves.

What's more, the Europeans have traveled across the ocean to fight and want to steal the fruits of victory. They can't do it if you don't have enough troops.

"Father! When I returned from the Western Expedition, I sent an envoy to tell my second brother about this. Judging from the time, my second brother should have received the news by now." Zhang Dingguan said.

"That's all. Leave the rest to your second brother! There are some things you don't need to worry too much about. In a few years, I will let your other brother conquer the Delhi Sultanate. His mother is a noble lady there. After conquering the Delhi Sultanate, let him be a king of a different surname there." Zhang Yong said.

He and Bahnaya also had several sons, and Bahnaya was a nobleman near the Delhi Sultanate.

"Father, I know!"

"Well! It's getting late. Go have a drink with your other brothers, and then go back to rest early!

I'll give you ten days off, you can have a good rest and recuperate, then you can report to the cabinet." Zhang Yong said.

"Yes! Father! I will take my leave now." Zhang Dingguan stood up, bowed to Zhang Yong, and then left the hall respectfully.

After his eldest brother left, the other sons who were drinking outside the store came one by one. After paying their respects to Zhang Yong and chatting with their father for a few words, they said goodbye one by one and left, returning to their own residences.

"What's wrong? You look a little sad." Zhang Yong looked at Famayna who was sitting next to him and asked.

Tulanlun, Xiaoyun and others went to arrange the women in the harem or to see their grandchildren and sons. Only Famayna sat next to him, looking unhappy.

"Your Majesty! I miss my son a little bit."

"Didn't he just receive the news a few days ago? And he also wrote a letter to you as his mother." Zhang Yong said.

"I know, but I still miss him. Your Majesty, when will the train you mentioned be completed?" Farmaina asked.

"It's almost there! Just wait a little longer! It will take three years at most, and then you can take the train to see your son." Zhang Yong said.

The train has now completed its experimental phase and is being laid out in the direction of the capital, and is now being put into trial operation.

However, it will take a long time for the railway to reach Khwarezm.

"Well! Your Majesty! Can I sleep with you today?"

"Hahaha! Of course no problem, but ask your cousin to come along."

"Screw you!"

After paying homage to his father, Zhang Dingguan went to Kublai Khan's residence with his wife Huchaduo at dawn the next day.

"Second brother! How have you been these years?" As soon as they met, Huhuchaduo came in front of Kublai Khan and asked.

"Hahaha! Of course I eat well, drink well, and sleep well. I also gave birth to two sons. I don't have to worry about anything. Every day I just sleep and eat, eat and sleep. Life can't be better." Kublai Khan looked at his sister and smiled, then spoke.

The last time in Samarkand, Kublai Khan thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yong would not kill him, but send him to the capital.

"Second brother! You must live a good life in the future, and never think about anything unnecessary. My man is already the crown prince, and will be the emperor of this country in the future." Hu Chaduo said.

"Prince! Hahaha! Good!" (End of this chapter)
