Chapter 955
"What is the matter, Prince Yuan? It's fine to say it in public."
She didn't do it on purpose, but Wu Zetian always trusted Di Di Renjie and wouldn't avoid him.
Although Chahatai spoke in a low voice, Di Di Renjie, Su Su Dingfang, and others were nearby and heard it.
It's just that out of etiquette, they didn't look over.
"Your Majesty, it's not that this minister is being pretentious."
Chahatai looked troubled and explained:
"It's just that this matter involves some privacy."
"Good! Then follow me to the back hall."
Wu Zhao didn't care much about Chahatai's business, but she did it to win over people's hearts.
Leading Chahatai and Zhang Wuxia, she retreated to the back hall.
The Bright Hall is one of the few large halls in the Great Ming Palace.
This back hall is used by the emperor to rest during court meetings.
It is called the back hall, but it is actually much larger than an ordinary palace.
In the back hall, there were palace maids serving tea, pastries, and other things.
Wu Zhao instructed:
"All of you withdraw! Prince Yuan has important matters to discuss with me; no one is allowed to eavesdrop.
Zhang Wuxia, you guard outside personally."
"Yes."
Zhang Wuxia nodded and led the palace maids and eunuchs out.
Chahatai waited until he confirmed that no one else was present before apologizing to Wu Zhao:
"Your Majesty, this minister is rude."
"It's fine, Prince Yuan, just say whatever you have."
In fact, Wu Zhao didn't care much about Chahatai's business, but she did it to win over people's hearts.
"In the Great Yuan, the Kurultai is a power organization where clan princes and tribal chiefs discuss state affairs together and elect the new Great Khan.
I, Ogedei, Jochi, and Tolui, all had our own supported forces at the Kurultai with the support of the former Khan."
Chahatai didn't say what the matter was directly, but instead told a secret of the Great Yuan.
Of course, this couldn't be considered a secret, at least not to the Great Tang Empress.
Wu Zhao had been constantly obtaining various intelligence about the Great Tang from Sun En and Zhang Wuxia.
Among them, there was naturally information about the Kurultai.
At this moment, Wu Zhao didn't speak, but just nodded, signaling Chahatai to continue.
"Some time ago, the former Khan passed away, and Ogedei ascended the throne through despicable means.
This Khan position of his truly wasn't elected by the Kurultai.
Therefore, within the Great Yuan, not only do my, Jochi's, and Tolui's people not support him openly or secretly,
but many other clan princes and tribal chiefs of the Kurultai also do not support him."
Chahatai said:
"It just so happens that this Prince Prince Ruyang, on the surface, does not participate in court politics, but he is one of the clan princes of the Kurultai.
Secretly, he is even a supporter of Tolui."
"What do you mean?"
Speaking of this, Wu Zhao finally knew what Chahatai wanted to do by finding her.
"In my opinion, this time Han Ji and Minmin have both made it onto the ranking, Ogedei will definitely not be able to sit still.
Now that I have abandoned darkness for light and joined the Great Tang,
Jochi has tied himself up before the throne, and his life or death is unknown.
Tolui is missing after being seriously injured.
Ogedei will definitely let his guard down and want to ask Prince Prince Ruyang for people.
At the very least, he will definitely want this Han Ji."
When Chahatai said this, a trace of resentment appeared on his face.
It was Ogedei who made him have a home he couldn't return to, and he could only bear the name of a traitor.
So he would never hesitate to deal with Ogedei.
"Then in Prince Yuan's opinion, what should the Great Tang do about this matter?"
Wu Zhao already understood that Chahatai mostly wanted to use this opportunity to induce the Great Tang to take action and strike at Ogedei.
This matter has some risks.
After all, the war between Tang and Yuan was not long ago, and this matter is also a struggle for the Great Yuan's Khan position.
If it's not handled well, it will arouse the resentment of the Great Yuan's various clan princes and tribal chiefs, and they will unite to deal with the Great Tang.
I fear the Great Tang will also suffer a loss.
But the current Great Tang Empress is not real.
Wu Zhao doesn't care about the gains and losses of the Great Tang at all.
"This minister suggests that I lead a group of Great Tang masters, disguised as my subordinates, and head to the Great Yuan together.
If Ogedei really forces Prince Prince Ruyang for Han Ji, Prince Prince Ruyang will inevitably fall out with Ogedei.
Once the war starts, Prince Prince Ruyang will definitely not be the opponent of the Great Yuan's central army.
At that time, I will come forward again, summon my old subordinates to rise up, and recruit Prince Prince Ruyang to surrender.
At the same time, General Su Su Dingfang will advance from the south, and it would be best to pull in the Empress Yinyue Dynasty.
With attacks from both sides, Ogedei will be unable to attend to both ends and will definitely suffer a crushing defeat.
At that time, even if we cannot destroy the Great Yuan in one go, the Great Tang will definitely be able to expand its territory by a thousand miles.
Standing side by side with the Great Qin as two heroes in the world is no longer impossible."
Chahatai was excited when he said this, and his face was full of joy.
Wu Zhao couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard this.
This Chahatai looks like he is giving advice to the Great Tang and helping the Great Tang destroy the Great Yuan.
In reality, what is he planning? Does he really think she can't see it?
It's nothing more than plotting for the Great Yuan's Khan position, hoping that Prince Prince Ruyang will be forced by Ogedei.
Then the Great Tang will come forward and stir up the water completely.
Finally, Chahatai will stand up and appear brilliantly as the savior of the Great Yuan.
Internally, he will pacify the rebellion of Prince Prince Ruyang and Ogedei.
Externally, he will either firmly resist or secretly make peace with the Great Tang.
By that time, Chahatai will naturally be able to surpass Ogedei and become the new Great Khan of the Great Yuan.
Such a strategy is truly clumsy.
But this strategy happens to be an open plot.
Because the Great Tang's strength has already gained an advantage over the Great Yuan after the last battle.
Prince Prince Ruyang having Han Ji is also known to everyone in the world.
Ogedei wanting Han Ji is also something that can be verified, and it's mostly not a lie.
Everything Chahatai said will happen.
As long as the Great Tang's strength is sufficient, Chahatai will only end up with nothing.
But if Chahatai operates well, he might really win over most of the Kurultai clan princes and tribal chiefs.
Then pacifying the rebellion internally and making peace externally is not a dream.
Everything depends on their respective strengths.
Besides, Wu Zhao doesn't care about the success or failure of the Great Tang.
After pondering for a while, Wu Zhao nodded and agreed:
"Fine! But you must first find a way to send Han Ji to the Great Tang."
If you want to use me, you have to pay the price.
This Han Ji is so miraculous, she is truly a rare beauty!
