Usurpation of Mongolia: My father-in-law is Genghis Khan

Chapter 89: Provoking Prince Consort Zhao Shuo and Becoming a Human Scorpion! (Three Chapters in One)

All the Mongolian high-ranking officials present were furious!

Because what was on the carriage platform was not a gift at all? It was clearly the body of Temujin's brother-in-law, Prince Consort Anchen!

Not only that, An Chen's body was hollowed out of his organs and pickled with lime to prevent it from rotting. Just like the Mongolian ancestor Ambahai, he was nailed to a wooden donkey by the Jin people!
After the black curtain was lifted, An Chen's tragic and bizarre death pierced the eyes and hearts of all the Mongolians present like a needle!
"Press Prince Consort Chen!"

"You killed Prince Consort Chen!"

"Golden Dog, you are looking for death!"

"Kill him! Kill them!"

……

When the Mongolian generals saw this, their eyes turned red and they roared in anger.

Is this a gift?
This is naked humiliation!

The damned Golden Dog had actually captured the son-in-law An Chen and nailed him to the wooden donkey just like the Mongolian ancestor Ambahai!

This is the most profound humiliation to all Mongolians!

Even Zhao Shuo felt a surge of anger in his heart.

However, while all the Mongolian nobles were furious, they also felt a strong sense of disbelief in their hearts.

How could this Jin envoy be so bold as to humiliate us Mongols like this? What on earth is he relying on? He must be tired of living!
……

In fact, the fact that the envoy Pushanathan was able to come to Mongolia and did so was purely a series of coincidences.

This is a long story, and it has to start with An Chen.

This son-in-law, Anchen, was Temujin's brother-in-law. After Temujin became the Great Khan of Mongolia, he obtained the political promise of hereditary three thousand households from Temujin and generational marriage into the Golden Family, as well as many rewards.

An Chen was born in the Hongjila tribe. The men of this tribe did not like killing and mainly relied on marrying the beauties of the tribe to heroes on the grassland to protect themselves.

Chen was not short of money or status. His greatest pleasure in life was to enjoy delicious food and fine wine and to travel around the beautiful countryside.

In the past ten years, he has traveled to Mongolia, Western Xia, and even Western Liao.

Four months ago, he heard that the Jin Kingdom had magnificent mountains and rivers and abundant delicious food, so he asked the Wanggu tribe to forge a pass to the Jin Kingdom for him without telling Temujin and Borte, and secretly went to visit the Jin Kingdom's Zhongdu.

But this time, he was really unlucky.

Because shortly after he set out, Temujin made a statement that "Jin Emperor Wanyan Yongji is a waste."

The Jin Dynasty and Mongolia broke up just like that!
But An Chen didn't know about this, and neither did the ordinary people of the Jin Dynasty.

Because, in order to maintain the good situation of stability and unity in the Great Jin Dynasty, the court specifically issued a decree: it is strictly forbidden for the people to discuss border affairs in the north.

So, An Chen continued as usual, touring the beautiful land of the Jin Kingdom and tasting delicacies from all over the country.

In a restaurant in Yanjing, he tasted famous dishes such as "Roasted Camel Hoof with Golden Silk", "Crane Hidden in Yunmen Cave", "Floating Yuanzi on the Star Chariot", and drank a fine wine called "Yuquan Fresh Wine Ice".

Because the dishes were so delicious and the wine had an extraordinary aftertaste, he was very happy. So he asked his servant to take out his favorite glass cup from the package to pair with the wine and food.

This cup is the glass cup invented by Zhao Shuo not long ago.

Glass cups may seem ordinary in modern society, but in the 13th century they were considered to be a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

According to Chen Ben, it was an unintentional act, but it was seen by this Pushanna.

This Pushannatan was the son of Pushanduan, the right prime minister of the Jin Dynasty. After his father came to power, he went from being a playboy to a domineering second-generation rich man.

The moment he saw the glass, Pusannatanchu thought it was a priceless treasure.

He immediately went up to talk to An Chen, wanting to inquire about the origin of the cup and whether he was willing to sell it.

An Chen didn't want to pay any attention to this second-generation descendant of the Jin Dynasty who looked like a fool, so he ignored him and continued drinking.

This angered Pushannatanchu, and he immediately started making a fuss.

During the quarrel, Pushannatanchu also discovered that these unruly guys were actually speaking Mongolian.

This made him overjoyed.

Their Great Jin Kingdom had just broken up with Mongolia. This Mongol appeared in the Jin capital. If he wasn't a spy, what else could he be?
He immediately used this as an excuse to send people to arrest Chen and his group and snatch the glass.

An Chen was annoyed after being arrested for no reason. He was also afraid that he would be killed and buried by the young man, so he directly revealed his identity as An Chen, the brother-in-law of the Mongolian great man Temujin, the hereditary head of three thousand households of the Mongolian Empire, and the son-in-law of the Mongolian emperor.

Who would have thought that Pushanna was not only not afraid, but after being stunned for a while, he even laughed wildly.

Then, from Pushanathan's mouth, An Chen learned that, damn, Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty had broken up!
His brother-in-law Temujin called the Jin Emperor Wanyan Yongji a waste, and the two countries became enemies!
When Chen An found out about the situation, his face turned green.

He wanted to blame Temujin, but then realized he couldn't blame him at all. Who had told him to sneak out without telling Temujin and come to the Jin Kingdom for a tour? He was simply speechless.

After thinking it through, An Chen became open-minded and simply accepted his fate.

He'd earned it all in his life anyway. He was the son of De Xichan, leader of the Hongjila tribe, and later his brother-in-law, Temujin, became the Great Khan of Mongolia. He'd never suffered any hardship. He'd enjoyed delicious food, fine wine, beautiful scenery, and everything he was supposed to enjoy. He figured even if he died now, he wouldn't have any regrets. So he decided to just give up and stop talking.

If Temujin could redeem him, that would be best. If the Jin people refused to let him go, that was fine. He could die. He had nothing to complain about if he died because of his own willfulness and hobbies.

When Pushannatan learned that Anchen was a core leader of the Mongolian army, he immediately went to report to his father, Pushanduan, the right prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, with great joy.

Who knew that the Right Prime Minister Pu San Duan just encountered a difficult problem.

His son's report made him overjoyed!
The trouble that the Right Prime Minister Pushanduan faced was that the Jin Kingdom was short of money!
In front of the envoy, Temujin publicly scolded Wanyan Yongji as a waste.

After the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia broke up, Emperor Wanyan Yongji was furious.

But while he was angry, he was also a little afraid that the Mongols would really attack the Jin Dynasty.

He didn't want to become the king of a fallen country just after becoming emperor, and have his capital conquered and his head chopped off by Temujin.

Therefore, Wanyan Yongji, who had just succeeded to the throne, immediately ordered the entire country to prepare for war.

This preparation cost a lot of money.

After all, because of the Kaixi Northern Expedition with the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty's northern border troops hadn't received their salaries for six or seven years. Now that they were needed, they should at least be compensated for one year, right?
Furthermore, in order to defend against the Mongols, the Jin Dynasty spent twenty years building nearly a thousand miles of trenches and hundreds of fortresses. Now that war is imminent, these nearly a thousand miles of trenches and hundreds of fortresses must be repaired, right?

Add to that the rewards for the soldiers who went on the southern expedition, the funeral of Jin Zhangzong, and the coronation ceremony of Wanyan Yongji. In the end, not only the 3 million taels of silver in compensation paid by the Southern Song Dynasty, but also the original silver reserves in the Jin Dynasty's treasury were basically spent.

This is nothing, it's a necessary expense.

However, the money was gone and Wanyan Yongji was unhappy again.

In his words.

I just took office and you guys have already spent all the money? How can I enjoy myself then?

I finally became emperor, and after all these wicked things, you're telling me to be frugal and work tirelessly? I'm already over fifty, how many more years do I have left to live? If I don't enjoy my position, what's the point of becoming emperor?

I asked you to prepare for war, but I didn't ask you to spend all your money!
Wanyan Yongji did not dare to blame Shangshu Ling Wanyan Kuang, the pillar of the Jin Dynasty, so he poured all his anger and pressure on the black-gloved Pu Sanduan.

That’s right, Pushanduan is Wanyan Yongji’s black glove.

He helped Wanyan Yongji kill the two posthumous sons of the previous emperor Wanyan Jing and forced Wanyan Jing's favorite concubine Li Shier to commit suicide. In addition, he did many other immoral things.

Although all these were ordered by Wanyan Yongji, it was Pushanduan who did it, and the blame was put on him.

Jin Zhangzong Wanyan Jing had been on the throne for twenty years, and his grace was still there. Of course, the old ministers had no way to deal with the new emperor Wanyan Yongji, so they focused all their hatred on Pushanduan.

Although Pushanduan was promoted to the right prime minister because of his dirty work, if he did not cling to Wanyan Yongji, he would probably die and his family would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

There was no other way, Pu Sanduan could only grit his teeth and come back to think about how to get money for Emperor Wanyan Yongji to enjoy.

He was originally at a loss, but the report from his son Pushanathan immediately gave him inspiration!

This glass cup is a rare treasure!

If An Chen is used to threaten Temujin and obtain the manufacturing method of this glass lamp, wouldn't it be possible to get a lot of money for Wanyan Yongji?

So he took the glass cup to meet Wanyan Yongji at night.

Emperor Wanyan Yongji was also shocked when he saw the beautiful glass.

He estimated that if he could run this business alone, the annual profit could reach over one million taels of silver.

With this money, is he still afraid of not having enough money to enjoy himself?

So he immediately made a decision and ordered Pushanduan to torture Anchen and force Temujin to hand over the manufacturing method of the glass cup.

With Wanyan Yongji's approval, Pusanduan immediately returned to interrogate Anchen with full confidence. He wanted Anchen to write a letter to Temujin so that he could extort the workshop's technology.

However, after learning that the Jin people actually wanted to use him to threaten Temujin, An Chen was unwilling to cooperate.

He loves pleasure, but he is not soft-hearted.

Now that Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty were at odds, if he surrendered at this time, wouldn't he become a traitor to Mongolia? How could he face his sister?
Rather than this, I would rather die.

In order to avoid being insulted and tortured, An Chen was really tough and committed suicide by biting his tongue.

A severed tongue won't kill you. However, the blood that gushes out quickly clogs your trachea, making it impossible to save the person with today's medical technology.

Less than half a minute later, An Chen died of suffocation.

After Chen Yi's death, Pushanduan also panicked. He didn't expect that his uncle, the Mongolian king, was so stubborn. He hurried into the palace again to see Wanyan Yongji.

After hearing the news, Wanyan Yongji cursed Pushanduan as a waste for ruining such a good opportunity.

Just as he was angrily scolding Pushanduan, Wanyan Kuang, the pillar of the Jin Dynasty, spoke.

He made a suggestion.

He said, "Didn't we nail Temujin's ancestor Anbahai to death on the wooden donkey? Now why not nail the body of Anchen, the Prince Consort, to the wooden donkey as a gift to Temujin!"
Not only must we force Temujin to submit to the Jin Empire once again, but we must also demand all of his technology: white wine, white salt, perfume, sheepskin robes, and even the technology for making this precious vessel. We want it all.

As for what to do if Mongolia disagrees, that’s perfect, force Mongolia to take the initiative to send troops!

We, the Great Jin, have spent so much money on military preparations. If the Mongols don't come, wouldn't this money be wasted?
Wanyan Kuang’s idea was very simple, either force Mongolia to surrender or force Mongolia to send troops!
It would be best if the Mongols could send troops to attack the Great Wall, so that they can deploy in advance and catch the Mongols off guard.

They waited for the Mongols to tire themselves out, could they surely crush them under the fortified walls? It was even possible that they could seize the opportunity to eliminate the Mongols!
When Wanyan Yongji heard this, he was immediately moved. No matter which of these two outcomes, it would be beneficial to him and harmless.

Either they could get a lot of money and enjoy themselves, or they could gain great military merit by defeating Mongolia and become one of the most powerful Ming armies in the Jin Dynasty in the past hundred years.

Wanyan Yongji immediately made the decision and agreed to Wanyan Kuang's suggestion.

Later, Wanyan Kuang suggested that Pushanduan's son Pushannatan be sent as an envoy to Mongolia to meet Temujin.

Anyway, this incident was caused by them, father and son. If they don’t solve it, who will?
Wanyan Yongji also agreed at that time.

In Wanyan Yongji's view, Pushanduan was just a chamber pot. Since he had already urinated, the chamber pot was no longer useful. Now that it was Pushanduan and his son who had caused the trouble, why not let Pushanatan go out and clean it up?
Pu Sanduan was listening at the side, his face turned green, but he didn't dare to refute a word.

Because he is now the target of public criticism, once the emperor gets tired of him, he will surely die.

What to do? He could only obey the order and send his son Pushanathan to Mongolia.

Although, during this mission, there is a great possibility that this big boy will be torn into pieces by the Mongols.

But there was nothing that could be done if Pusanata came out.

The eldest son died, and he still had a second son, a third son, a fourth son, and a fifth son.

If he died, perhaps his entire family would be slaughtered by political enemies.

So let's sacrifice the eldest son and save the whole family.

So there was the story of Pushanathan being sent as an envoy of the Jin Dynasty to Mongolia, carrying an instrument nailed to a wooden donkey.

……

Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps because he didn't want his son to escape on his diplomatic mission, Pushanduan lied to his son, saying that envoys from two countries at war wouldn't be killed, and that he was perfectly safe. Furthermore, Temujin had already privately submitted to the Jin Empire and was simply using the pressure of the Jin envoys to appease his nobles. He only needed to deliver a message.

Because Pushanatan was a playboy with no brains, he actually believed it.

In particular, after arriving at the Mongolian grasslands, he discovered that the Mongolian soldiers were much shorter than the imperial guards in the Jin capital, and the Mongolian war horses did not seem to be as big as the Jin horses. He became even more convinced.

In his opinion, how could these seemingly weak Mongols fight against the Jin Dynasty?
Temujin must have surrendered privately.

Since his father has told him so, he must show the spirit of the Celestial Empire and put enough pressure on it!

So, after lifting the curtain and revealing An Chen's body nailed to the wooden donkey, Pushanna came out and looked at the excited Mongolian nobles, raised the corners of his mouth and showed an arrogant expression.

"Noisy? What are you arguing about?"

When the voices of the generals gradually faded, Pushannatan said with a look of disdain on his face, "First, think about how your ancestor Anbahai died. Then look at how your current Prince Consort Anchen died! Humph, this is the fate of the Mongols who dared to oppose our Great Jin!"

"Hurry up and submit to our Great Jin!"

After hearing Pushanathan's arrogant words, the Mongolian generals present were stunned for a moment and then miraculously became quiet.

The look they gave Pusannatan went from furious to calm, but their dark pupils were filled with cold murderous intent.

They didn't make a fuss because they all knew and reached a consensus - this stupid golden dog was dead.

When Pushanathan saw that the Mongols had quieted down, he actually nodded with satisfaction. He felt that these Mongolian barbarians must be afraid of their Great Jin Kingdom.

He paused, as if remembering something, and said, "By the way, which one of you is that Mongolian prince consort, Zhao Shuo?"

"..."

The Mongolian nobles present at the scene twitched their lips and looked at Zhao Shuo, who was standing next to Temujin and with Hua Zheng holding little Zhao He.

Hearing his name being called, Zhao Shuo laughed angrily. He stood up with a stern look in his eyes and said, "I am Zhao Shuo. What do you want to say?"

Pushanna looked at Zhao Shuo with a slightly surprised look.

Because Zhao Shuo's height was really outstanding and his appearance was much more heroic than the Mongolians around him, he looked like someone with something to offer.

"You are the Mongolian prince consort who invented so many novel things!"

Pusannatan looked Zhao Shuo up and down and said, "I heard that Temujin gave your son the surname Borjigin. That was really stingy. If you are willing to hand over all the technology in your workshops, we in the Great Jin can give you and your son the surname Wanyan. Let both of you enjoy the glory of the national surname of the Celestial Empire."

"..."

After these words were spoken, the scene became even quieter.

The Mongolian generals looked at Pushanathan with anger and shock.

Awesome, awesome!

Pushanatan paused, enjoying the attention. He seemed to be smug, then sneered, "Of course, if you don't obey, our Iron Pagoda will trample across the grasslands. You, Zhao Shuo, will be nailed to the wooden donkey like Anbahai Khan and his son-in-law Anchen!"

"..."

The Mongolian nobles were silent, and the timid ones like Huoerchi held their breath.

As if he still felt unsatisfied, Pusan ​​Natan glanced at Hua Zheng and Xiao Zhao He beside Zhao Shuo and continued:

"Your wife is Temujin's eldest daughter, Hua Zheng, right? She will become the most humble slave girl of our nobles! As for your son, Borjigin Zhao He, we will impale him on a spear and parade him across the grasslands as a warning to them: this is the fate of those who refuse to submit to the court of the Great Jin Kingdom!"

"..."

The Mongolian nobles were in disbelief. Some opened their mouths slightly, some twitched their faces, and no one spoke. It was dead silent!

"rub!"

The sound of metal clashing as a dagger was unsheathed was heard.

It’s Hua Zheng!
She was shaking with anger.

This envoy from the Jin Dynasty first insulted her husband, then insulted herself, and finally threatened to kill her most beloved son!
She suddenly pulled out the jeweled dagger from her waist, her face full of murderous intent, ready to kill the other person!
Even if this Jin envoy threatened her and Zhao Shuo, she could endure it and wait for her father Temujin's order.

But his son is Hua Zheng’s Achilles’ heel!

He actually dared to threaten and curse his only son. Hua Zheng was so angry that she lost her composure in an instant!
Just when she was about to rush forward.

Zhao Shuo suddenly reached out and put his arm around her waist.

Zhao Shuo didn't say anything and looked down at Hua Zheng.

Zhao Shuo’s meaning is very simple, let me do it.

Seeing her husband's cold and abysmal eyes, Hua Zheng recovered, took a few deep breaths, and stopped while holding little Zhao He.

After stopping Hua Zheng, Zhao Shuo walked forward step by step without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, the Mongolian generals and nobles present all curled up their lips.

Seeing Zhao Shuo walking towards him, Pushannatanchu also realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

But he wasn't that panicked.

Because his father told him that Temujin had already surrendered to their Great Jin Kingdom in private, and he came here just to go through the motions, to intimidate the Mongols and give Temujin an excuse to surrender to the Great Jin Kingdom.

Now Temujin hasn't said anything yet, what can a little Zhao Shuo like you do to me?
So he continued, "What's up? Are you scared? Come here, kneel before me, and hand over the formulas. I'll go back and write to His Majesty to grant you a surname..."

Before Pushannatan could finish his words, Zhao Shuo quickened his pace and suddenly locked Pushannatantan's neck like a hunting hawk!
"Uh... cough!"

“You…you…what…are you doing!”

Pusanathan was suddenly overwhelmed by an unprecedented fear. His eyes widened in terror and disbelief. He opened his mouth to call for help, but felt his throat was tightly clamped, preventing him from making any sound.

He grabbed Zhao Shuo's arms with both hands and kept hitting them, trying to make Zhao Shuo release his grip.

However, he found that Zhao Shuo's arms and palms were like cast iron and he couldn't break free at all!

Unable to break free from Zhao Shuo's iron grip, Pushanathan subconsciously looked at Temujin, hoping that Temujin would help him out.

However, what he saw was Temujin's eyes, as cold as ten thousand years of ice, yet also as if they were pregnant with thousands of volcanoes about to erupt.

Temujin stood there, showing no intention of saving him. It seemed as if he was also waiting for his death!

When Pushanna came out, his heart immediately sank.

He realized something was wrong.

"Uh... cough!"

Pushannatan tried hard to say something, but Zhao Shuo didn't give him a chance.

With a ferocious sneer on his face, Zhao Shuo exerted force and lifted Pushanna up slowly into the air.

Suddenly, Pushannatan felt that he could no longer make any sound. He used all four limbs to struggle continuously.

However, his weak strength couldn't even shake Zhao Shuo's body.

Holding Pushanathan's throat, Zhao Shuo lifted him up and looked around. Finally, he looked at Temujin.

Temujin stood there indifferently, holding his sword. He looked cruelly and coldly at Pushannatanchu, who was suffocating and in pain, with his gray-blue eyes, and nodded to Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo let out a cold breath, swung his arm downward, and threw Pushanna to the ground.

Then he quickly stepped on Pusannatanchu's back.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shuo grabbed Pushannatan's head with both hands, and suddenly exerted force with his waist, abdomen and arms!
"what--!"

"Tear!"

Accompanied by the screams of Pushanathan, a creepy voice rang out!

What followed was a rain of blood and minced meat!

Pushanatan's head, along with his cervical vertebrae, was pulled out directly by Zhao Shuo!
