Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1656: Divorce plan

After a good sleep, Ye Mingsheng went to have breakfast with An Miaoyi, Jingren and Ye Cui the next morning.

Ye Mingsheng originally thought that his mother, who was always devoted to worshipping Buddha, did not know about the fight between Jingxuan and Jingcheng yesterday afternoon. However, just when Ye Mingsheng started to eat porridge, Ye Cui actually asked about this matter.

Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard his mother asking about this matter. After all, the fight between Jing Cheng and Jing Xuan happened yesterday afternoon. After the incident, An Miaoyi immediately blocked the news and handled the incident for the sake of the royal family's face.

Therefore, not many people know about this matter at present. Unexpectedly, the matter was heard by Ye Cui. This immediately made Ye Mingsheng realize that his mother did not seem to be so devoted to worshiping Buddha and knew the things in the palace very well!
Thinking of this, although Ye Mingsheng still seemed fine on the surface, his mood was a little complicated. An Miaoyi told Ye Cui that the fight between Jingxuan and Jingcheng was just a fight between children and it was nothing serious, so she asked Ye Cui not to worry about it.

Ye Cui was just asking casually. She didn't really care about the situation of Jingcheng and Jingxuan. She loved her children as well as the people around them. Her favorites were Jingren, born to An Miaoyi, and Jingyan, born to Murong Qingwu.

As for the other three grandsons, Jingcheng, Jingxuan, and Jingheng, because of their respective mothers, they were only slightly better than passers-by in Ye Cui's eyes. So in the face of An Miaoyi's admonition, Ye Cui directly told Ye Mingsheng:
"Mingsheng! This time Jingxuan was able to break Jingcheng's head, but who knows what he will be able to do next time. In my opinion, you are too fond of Pei Zhixiu, and Jingxuan is also spoiled. Mingsheng, you must discipline him!"

“And Jingcheng is the same. He doesn’t study hard, but now he tears up other people’s homework and pretends that it wasn’t him. He’s just like his mother…”

When saying this, Ye Cui's contempt for Shen Yutong was beyond words. Originally, Ye Cui wanted to say something, but when she saw Ye Mingsheng lowered his head and said nothing, Ye Cui changed her mind and swallowed back the rest of her words, but her expression was not concealed at all.

Although Ye Mingsheng strongly disagreed with his mother's idea, in front of Ye Cui, Ye Mingsheng nodded and indicated that he would strengthen his discipline over his children.

After a not-so-pleasant breakfast, Ye Mingsheng came to the imperial study.

After hearing Ye Cheng's routine report, Ye Mingsheng instructed Ye Cheng:
"Go ask the palace maids and eunuchs around Jingren and Jingxuan to see if there are any conflicts or contradictions between the two brothers!"

"Yes!"

Ye Cheng acted quickly. During lunch, Ye Cheng returned to Ye Mingsheng and reported to him.

"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, the relationship between the two princes has not been good recently!"

"The reason why it's not good is that two months ago, Mr. Deng gave an assignment. At that time, His Highness Jingcheng wanted to copy His Highness Jingxuan's homework. His Highness Jingxuan allowed it, but His Highness Jingcheng copied it exactly as it was, which led to Mr. Deng finding out. When His Highness Jingcheng was punished, His Highness Jingxuan was also punished!"

"After being punished, His Highness Jingxuan had a quarrel with His Highness Jingcheng, and from then on he no longer allowed His Highness Jingcheng to copy his homework..."

"In addition, Concubine Shen always asked His Highness Jingcheng to learn from His Highness Jingxuan and study hard, but His Highness Jingcheng told Concubine Shen that there was no point in studying so hard, since he could never become the crown prince anyway. When Concubine Shen heard this, she became very angry and slapped His Highness Jingcheng in the face and made him kneel for half an hour!"

"In addition, when His Highness Jingcheng was playing with the Crown Prince, he said that the reason why His Highness Jingxuan wanted to study hard was because he had great ambitions!"

After hearing Ye Cheng's introduction, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but shook his head. He really didn't expect that the rift between Jing Cheng and Jing Xuan would develop to this point!

I vaguely remember that the last time I took them out for a trip, they were all very friendly and close to each other. How come it has come to this in just a few months? Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng felt a bit of a headache!
After thinking about it carefully, Ye Mingsheng felt a little guilty. He cared too little about Jingcheng. He gave most of his fatherly love to Jingren, Jingxuan, and Yiren, and he didn't care enough about his other children!

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile on his face. It turned out that the greatest pain of a person is the inability to cross the gap between knowing and doing!
He knew very well that he would love his children as they are his own, and that he was a little partial in treating his children, but it was really difficult for Ye Mingsheng to spend too much energy on Jing Cheng, Jing Heng and others, especially when Ye Mingsheng himself was very tired after working for a whole day...

·············
·············
Just when Ye Mingsheng was worrying about his children's education, in the Luobi military camp on Damao Mountain, thousands of miles away.

The pale-faced Dariyachi, Urgenbayar and Jirigel were sitting together in the tent. All three of them remained silent, and no one wanted to speak for a moment.

This heavy atmosphere lasted for about a cup of tea. Dariyachi looked around as usual, but when he didn't see anyone, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed bitterness.

In the past, at such times, it was Dynaudio who helped him break the deadlock, but now Dynaudio is dead!
During the previous retreat, in order to buy time for the main force, Dana led 3,000 elite soldiers to block the Cuman army for a day and a night, and Dana himself died in the battle!

When Dariachi thought of this, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He grew up with Dana, so even though Dana was his subordinate, Dariachi treated him like a brother!
Although Daryaqi was very sad that the expedition to the Golden Horde ended in a disastrous defeat with tens of thousands of casualties, what really broke Daryaqi's heart was the death of Dana! !
Dana's death can be said to have broken a arm of Dariyachi, making Dariyachi feel even more isolated and helpless!

After sorting out his thoughts, Dariyachi slowly spoke:
"The Golden Horde released all the more than 1,000 captives from Daqian, and it is said that the Golden Horde is willing to fully trade with Daqian. The two sides will trade in Yongliang and Guanzhong. In addition, it is said that Habib also intends to form a marriage alliance with Daqian, and let his son Aska marry Ye Mingsheng's daughter..."

Although Urgenbayar and Jirigel, father and son, already knew what Dariachi had said, when they heard it again from Dariachi's mouth, their faces turned very ugly.

After a moment of silence, Urigenbayar said:
"Xun Ke said that Habib is always cunning. He is trying to sow discord between us and Daqian!"

Dariyachi said in a deep voice:

"But just last night, Chen Zhongshu, the Han Chinese who surrendered to the Golden Horde, met Gao Shen. The two of them had a secret conversation for nearly half an hour, and just this morning, two hours ago, Gao Shen sent a letter to Yi Jing!"

When these words came out, Urigen Bayar and Dariachi were both stunned, and Jirigel also spoke:
"Is there such a thing?" "You can check whether the two closest guards to Gao Shen have left. Gao Shen is sending a secret letter back at this time. What will the content of the letter be? General Wu Rigen, you should have some guesses in your mind!"

Upon hearing this, Urgenbayar's face became increasingly heavy. Now that Luobi had suffered heavy casualties, the situation was extremely dangerous. If Daqian and the Golden Horde made peace at this time, it would be a disaster for Luobi!

Just when he was worried, Jirigel said impatiently:
"Now Daqian wants to make peace with the Cumans. Are we, the Luobi people, going to be sold out? Should we take the initiative and kill Xun Ke's gang first? I have disliked these Daqian people for a long time..."

Hearing what Jirigel said, Daryaqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, while Urigenbayar on the side angrily shouted with a gloomy face:
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense here!"

"Dad, I'm not talking nonsense. If the Daqian people join forces with the Golden Horde, how can we defend Damao Mountain? If we don't strike first, won't we die without a burial place?"

Hearing his son being stubborn, Urigen Bayar directly called him out:

"Even if the Daqian people don't join forces with the Golden Horde, as long as they have nothing to do with each other, do you think we can hold Damao Mountain?"

"This... should be possible!"

"shut up!"

Jirigel, who was scolded by his father, had to shut up in dismay, while Urigenbayar looked at Daryachi and said:

"Dari Achi, you are the Great Khan, you should have an idea in mind, right?"

Before Urigen Bayar could reply, footsteps were heard outside the tent. A few seconds later, a man with a scar on his face, a burly figure, and a very fierce look walked into the tent. He handed a letter to Dariyachi in a muffled voice and said:
"Khan, this is what you wanted!"

Dariyachi took the letter and asked:
"Very good! Did the Musle hurt anyone?"

"Those two Daqian men were no match for me. I knocked them to the ground and put a knife to their necks, and they handed the letter to me obediently..."

Dariyachi nodded with satisfaction and said:

"You did a great job, go down and have a good rest!"

"Yes!"

After Namuslai left the tent, Daryaqi waved the letter in his hand to the father and son opposite him, and then said with a complicated expression:
"This is the letter Gao Shen sent out. Let's take a look at it together!"

After saying that, under the gaze of Urgen Bayar and Jirigel, Dariyachi opened the letter and read the paper inside. After reading it, he handed the letter to Urgen Bayar. A moment later, the three people in the tent had all finished reading the letter!

Although everyone had predicted what would be written in the letter when Darachi mentioned it, when they actually saw the contents, the three people's faces became even gloomier. Jirigel was the first to lose his temper and cursed:

"Daqian is really unreliable. Now it has been defeated by the Golden Horde and wants to make peace with the Golden Horde. Gao Shen is also a coward who actually believed the Golden Horde's lies!"

"Habib said he admires Ye Mingsheng and is willing to go to Yijing to pay homage to Ye Mingsheng one day. Habib can say such nonsense, and Gao Shen actually believes it. Is his brain full of shit?"

Compared to his son Jirigel's angry scolding, Urigenbayar appeared very calm and asked Dariyachi:
'What do you think?'
Dariyachi hesitated for a moment and then said slowly:
"Without Daqian's help, we can't fight against the Cumans now, so I want to have a good talk with Gao Shen!"

Upon hearing this, Urgenbayar looked at Dariachi and fell silent. He didn't know why he always felt that after experiencing the disastrous defeat on the Turte grassland, he always felt that Dariachi had grown up and matured!

In the past, Dariyachi was very powerful, but when he encountered problems like now, he would mostly vent his anger by cursing like during festivals. But now he has some of the style of the old Khan Ibugel...
Although Ibugel was the Great Khan of Robe, he was always despised by some conservatives within Robe because of his surrender to Daqian. They believed that Ibugel had no courage, was a coward, and was a spineless person who was afraid of death!

But Urigenbayar, a general under Ibugele, did not think so. He believed that Ibugele was not a coward, but a very courageous man!
With the rise of Daqian led by Ye Mingsheng, and the Golden Horde under the leadership of Habib joining forces with the Roman Empire, the Roman people, who had suffered serious losses in power due to internal power struggles, were caught in a dilemma!
As Ibugel's confidant, Urgenbayar knew very well how bad the situation was at that time. The Robe people were in a situation of internal and external troubles. There was the rebellion of Jamuko internally, and Ye Mingsheng was exerting pressure externally. The Golden Horde was also eyeing them covetously!

Faced with such a situation, it is almost impossible for the Robe people to maintain their independence!

Urgenbayar clearly remembered how painful and reluctant Ibugel was when he made the decision to surrender to Ye Mingsheng!

If Urigenbayar thought that death could solve the problem, Ibugele would commit suicide without hesitation!

But unfortunately, although death can escape problems, it cannot solve them!

Although in the face of a severe situation, Ibugele chose to succumb to reality and surrender to Ye Mingsheng.
