Chapter 1011 Unique words

From this we can see that Qiexue was a close attendant around Khan. More importantly, Qiexue became a unity organization between the royal family and state administration in the Yuan Dynasty. In other words, the identity of Qiexue members was dual. They had to serve as eunuchs and work on royal housework, and they could also serve as important officials in political institutions. In the Yuan Dynasty politics, they could be said to be the core part of the bureaucratic ruling class and an existence beyond the traditional bureaucratic organization in the Han area of ​​the Central Plains. Therefore, Qiexue army was also the most unprovoked person in the Mongolian.

During the Genghis Khan period, the Qixue Army was the trump card of the Mongolian army. In terms of salary and treatment, the Qixue Army was also the best among the Mongolian Yuan army. However, the Mongolian Khans in the early years were not so generous. In the early days of the revolt, the Mongolians had to bring their own horses and equipment. When years of war were fought, they often brought heavy burdens to the soldiers' families.

The military horses and items of the soldiers of the Qiexue Army were originally the industries that deceived their fathers. Most of their fathers were Mongolian nobles, so they were extremely capable of being cheated. In addition to the children of the nobles, the masters of the Mongolian civilians could also be selected as the Qiexue Army by virtue of their martial arts and battlefield performance. Therefore, the Mongolian Khans gritted their teeth and divided them into several households for each of them, and the expenditure on equipment and mounts was paid from the households. With the expansion and conquest of the Mongolian cavalry, the Qiexue Army also distributed a large number of real estate, and the Qiexue Army became a landlord.

Starting from Kublai Khan, the Mongolian Khan had a hobby of burning money. After conquering the richest Song Dynasty, he became the number one tycoon in the world, so he was very generous. The Qiexue army was also a beneficiary of the Khan's money. He began to pay wages to the Qiexue army on a monthly basis. Qiexue's salary included rice, grain, banknotes, silver, and fuel expenses - the forage of the horse and camel. The Yuan Dynasty government also solved the problem of Qiexue's housing and clothes, and also gave them land in the prime area of ​​the capital.

However, at this time, the Qiexue army had become a place for the elders. They were enthusiastic audiences in the battle to seize the throne and were also full of the war to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. However, the rewards exceeded the guards who contributed the most, and were no longer the ace army in the past. When Kublai Khan and Ali Buge fought, they relied on the Wu Guards to act as the imperial guards and ace troops. Later, the guards' guards' guards were established on the basis of the Wu Guards. Many of the soldiers participated in the Xiangyang Battle. Zheng Jiang, the commander of the guards' guards, was even killed on the front line. The commander of the guards' guards' guards often took over the authority of the front line commanders to ensure Kublai Khan's control over the Yuan army.

It can be seen that the personal guards have sufficient military achievements. Although their salary and benefits are equal to those of the Qiexue Army, the allocated land is far inferior to that of the Qiexue Army. Qiexue was promoted quickly and had a rich income. He did not have to go to the battlefield for most of the time in the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, it is also a shortcut to becoming an official, called a special selection, which is different from the regular selection of officials from the imperial examination and officials:

First, the promotion is fast, and the emperor directly assigned it without regular selection and assessment. Second, it is to be a high-ranking official, senior officials of the Yuan Dynasty, especially the Secretariat, Privy Council, Censorate and the main officials of various provinces, most of them came from here and were extremely noble. Therefore, as long as you serve the sweat and have a good sleep, you can walk on the fast lane of promotion and promotion, squeeze your head and enter the Qixue organization, it becomes something that everyone yearns for...

To be honest, Yue Chi Chaer was able to serve as the deacon of Qie Xue Baoerchi because his ancestors were virtuous. He was the great-grandson of Borhu, the founding hero of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. His family background was very profound. It is said that he slept with Genghis Khan more than his wife. His grandfather Tuohuan inherited his father's position and led the second thousand right-wing household and the deputy of the right-wing army. He went to Mengge to the west to Qincha, and Uros made contributions. His father lost his lie family and went to Kublai to Yunnan and died in front of the army. Yue Chi Chaer lost his father at the age of six and was raised by his mother, Shi, the daughter of the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, and he served his mother with filial piety.

In the first year of Zhiyuan, Kublai Khan remembered his father's death after his victory, and summoned him to the court. When he saw his appearance and behavior were very good, he reported it to him clearly and was very happy. He ordered him to be the deacon of Qiexue, Baoerchi, which shows that his appearance was also useful in ancient times. Kublai Khan also valued and trusted him very much. Whenever a Confucian minister went to the palace to preach, he ordered him to listen. In the 17th year of Zhiyuan, Kublai Khan ordered him to be the leader of Qiexue, the ancestor. The following year, his deacon was respectful and cautious and familiar with the court, and was appointed as the envoy of Xuanhui.

The Xuanhui Courtyard of the Yuan Dynasty was a court institution that combined the functions of the Great Khan of the Mongolian Dynasty, with the Central Plains official system. It was in charge of court meetings, banquets, court etiquette and court food. It was set up on the left and right Xuanhui envoys, the co-prime minister of Xuanhui, and the Xuanhui judge of Xuanhui. It was in charge of imperial food, banquets and guests of the clan, and the guards of the kings, and the food of the royal family. It was a matter of official selection, and it was a matter of receiving and dispatching.

Xuanhui Court is under the jurisdiction of Guanglu Temple, Dadu Shangyin Bureau, Shangdu Shangyin Bureau, Dadu Shangyin Bureau, Shangdu Shangyin Bureau, Shangdu Shangyin Bureau, Shangzhen Office, Shangshe Temple, Zhuanwuku, Lanyiguan, Shangshi Bureau, Shangmu Institute, etc. Because Xuanhui Court has a heavy responsibility, it not only affects the emperor's wealth and life, but also manages the property of the inner palace, and also counsels major affairs of the official family. In addition, the office has a first-rank position, and can be the Secretariat, Privy Council, and Chief Censor.

Therefore, all the envoys of the court held the most trusted servants such as Baoerchi and Cyxue Chang. Yuechi Chaer was a descendant of the hero, and married into the royal family and was favored by a special position. However, Zhen Jin still favored him after he ascended the throne. In addition, the two were of similar age, and they were even more trustworthy. They had the right to participate in political decision-making. Now Zhen Jin and a chef discuss state affairs privately together.

"Khan, the most important thing at the moment is the impeachment of Boyan by the ministers?" Yue Chi Chaer asked with the roasted meat dipped in seasoning and handed it to Zhen Jin.

"Yes, Boyan is my humeral minister and must not be lost. But now not only those Han ministers, but also the old Mongolian ministers are involved. If they do not punish them, it will be difficult to explain!" Zhen Jin nodded and said with a dark face.

"Well, Boyan is a poor minister in my dynasty, and he has made great contributions to the succession of the Khan. He must not follow the intentions of those who have other thoughts. I just don't know why they wanted to impeach Boyan!" Yue Chi Cha'er thought it was authentic.

"It was because of the construction of river defense, which consumed a lot of money. Half of the taxes in the two Huaihe Rivers had been exhausted, but it was still not enough to pay the needs. They asked the court to allocate funds, which triggered impeachment from the court officials. They believed that building river defense was not only a waste of money, but also a weak move to the Southern Dynasty, which made our dynasty famous. Some people even said that Boyan used the name of building river defense to make money to fill his personal pockets. And several tens of thousands of households in the Hebei Duhu Prefecture in Shandong and the Wanhu Prefecture in Huaibei, Henan, also reported that Boyan recruited a large number of troops and stationed troops to build river defense, resulting in barren fields and resentment from the military and civilians!"

"Boyan is not a timid person, so it is natural that his construction of river defense is reasonable. And I have heard a lot of rumors, saying that the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty has always been interested in regaining Jiangbei. Recently, he has been sending troops across the river to harass the people who built the city, and destroying the river defense. It can be seen that he is also worried that the river defense will be 10% difficult to cross north and march into the Central Plains!" Yue Chi Cha'er thought about it and said.

"Yes, the Southern Dynasties' military strength was not comparable to more than ten years ago. Especially with its sharp firearms, our army could not resist in field battles. Although our dynasty had assembled tens of thousands of troops in this spring, it was unable to counterattack under the frequent attacks of the Southern Dynasties. Tens of thousands of naval troops were wiped out on the Yellow Sea before they even participated in the war. It can be seen that the situation had reversed, but those people actually ignored the reality and said that Boyan was afraid of the enemy, which led to the unfavorable battle. They wrote letters to dismiss him!" Zhenjin said helplessly.

"Kill Khan, I think it's not that they don't understand or see, but that they speak against their hearts. The purpose is nothing more than to get out of Boyan, a thorn in his eyes. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Who has never suffered a defeat in the court? If Jiangnan is so easy to conquer, why do you have to fight for forty years before conquering Jiangnan?" Yue Chi Cha'er snorted coldly, cut off a piece of roasted meat and put it on Dahan's plate.

"They didn't say that, but said that there was news that the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty had built firearms with the power of moving mountains during the military exercise. No matter how strong the city was, it could be destroyed in one fell swoop. It would be useless to spend huge amounts of money to build river defense. In addition, there are also people who said that the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty is now using his mind to rebuild Lin'an City, which means he has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and has no intention of expedition in the north. Who should he use to build river defense to prevent?" Zhen Jin said with a wry smile as he ate the meat.

"It's all nonsense. If you guess well, it's the words of those Han ministers!" Yue Chi Cha'er shook his head after hearing this, "Khan must not believe their words. If the Southern Dynasties' little emperor really had a powerful weapon to destroy the world, why should he send troops to attack the city? Besides, if he wants to live in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, he should build the palace, rather than renovating the streets and clearing the rivers, and live in that small old palace. These just show that the Southern Dynasties' little emperor was undead of fighting in the north. The words he released were just to confuse the public and make us at a loss."

"Well, your words are very reasonable. No wonder my father Khan calls you Yue'er Lu Nayan (a magistrate), which is more unique than their eyes!" Zhen Jin nodded repeatedly after hearing this, raised his glass and invited him to drink a bowl of wine and said, "In this way, Jiang Fang still needs to repair it, but..."

"Shan, Jiang Fang must be repaired, and it must be repaired more solidly, but there is no hurry!" Yue Chi Cha'er raised her hand and wiped the broken wine from her beard and said.

"How do you say this?" His words were contradictory, but Zhen Jin was a little confused after hearing this, and he leaned forward and asked.

"Khan, the situation in the Southern Dynasties is no different from ours. They are also short of money and food, and the throne of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasties is unstable!" Yue Chi Cha'er poured wine for the real gold and said with a smile.
