"Third brother, when did you become so thoughtful? Hunting, hunting, you are not even willing to kill people, can you call it hunting?"
"Yes, third brother, if you ask us three brothers who has the most blood on their hands, the boss and I combined can't even have a fraction of yours, right?"
The eldest prince and the second prince, one fanned the flames and the other added fuel to the fire.
"Of course, the two princes have never gone to the battlefield with their father Khan, so they naturally don't kill as many people as I do, but the blood on my hands comes from enemies, not from powerless slaves," Bach said Then he said to Timur: "Father, it was Mr. Song who woke me up with his words. Now the city walls in Dadu are being renovated. These slaves are a considerable labor force. Rather than killing them, it is better to keep them alive." , can still play a role.”
"Joke!" The Sudan said coldly: "I want to ask everyone here, who can't see that he and these slaves are from Liang? He said words to persuade you not to kill these slaves, he is clearly trying to save these slaves!"
"Prince Sultan." Song Che stepped forward and said, "Song admitted that he really couldn't bear to see his compatriots being hunted like animals, so he persuaded the third prince to capture these slaves alive."
At this point, he looked at Timur: "Khan, after all, humans are not animals. After hunting animals, you can eat their meat and peel off their skins. But if you kill a human, you can only cremate and bury it, making it useless. It’s worthless. Then why not save their lives and let them help build the wall?”
Timur nodded, "It sounds like it makes sense..."
"Father Khan!" The Sultan immediately knelt down: "My son and my second brother follow the tradition and respect the tradition when hunting slaves. But the third brother does not follow the rules and insists on saving the prey! One is a dead thing and the other is a living thing. , if the living thing defeats the dead thing, the sons and ministers will be the first to refuse!"
Kuimu followed suit and knelt down: "I'm not convinced either!"
Not to be outdone, Bach knelt down and said, "Father, it's much more difficult to capture them alive than to kill them. You see, these slaves are all bruised and swollen. They were all punched by me alone!"
"This..." Timur was a little embarrassed. Even though he liked the third child more, the eldest and the second child were both his own sons, and in front of so many tribes, it was inappropriate to judge who would win.
"Khan, Song has a suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it or not." Song Che asked for instructions.
"Oh? What's your suggestion, Mr. Song? You can speak up." Timur asked.
Song Che said: "Since the three princes can't tell the difference in the hunting ground, why not set up a test question and let them compete?"
He paused and then said: "I just heard what Your Highness said. Most of your country is building city walls. Why not let the three princes take charge of each one and see who can build it well, quickly and firmly?"
Timur's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. Instead of arguing about hunting, let's actually build the city wall and add more protection to the capital."
He then asked the three princes: "Prince, are you willing to accept this competition?"
No one was willing to give up this opportunity to perform meritorious deeds. The three princes all agreed in unison and readily agreed.
At this time, Arhan stood up and asked Song Che: "Mr. Song, what do you mean, do you want to help the third prince build the city wall?"
Song Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that I'm helping anyone, it's just that Song wanted to thank the third prince for his kindness and generosity, and for not killing my fellow Daliang compatriots;
Furthermore, I just said that saving these slaves is more valuable than killing them. I came to help build the city wall just to reflect the value of the slaves;"
Having said this, he pointed to Tuya who was sitting on the seat, "In our Daliang Dynasty, a man gave a bride as a gift to his wife. The Great Khan did not despise Song's identity as a Liang man. He appreciated the house and gave away beauties. I should repair it." A solid and reliable city wall was given to the Khan as a betrothal gift."
"Great Khan, you must not do this! Building the city wall is a military secret. How can a Liang man interfere?"
"Yes, this Liang man must have impure motives!"
Many Hu Chen retorted loudly.
Song Che shook his head and sneered, "Are you a few adults a little too worried? After the city wall is repaired, of course it will be inspected. If it doesn't pass the inspection then, it won't be too late for you to pour dirty water on me."
"Mr. Song." Arhan asked: "As an envoy of Daliang, you helped our Hu State build fortifications. If this matter reaches the ears of your emperor, are you not afraid of being killed?"
Song Che only said coldly: "Since you don't trust Song so much, why don't you put me back in Daliang to save everyone from being suspicious of each other?"
Arhan said coldly: "Please don't be too wild."
Song Che retorted: "Please don't think too much."
Arhan's face was gloomy, "If you dare to undertake the construction of the city wall, then do you dare to issue a military order?"
"Why don't you dare?" Song Che glanced at the ministers and said loudly: "Song hereby promises that before the end of the year, he will help the third prince to build a solid city wall that cannot be cut with a sledgehammer. If he cannot do it, he will be killed or chopped into pieces. As you wish!"
"Before the end of the year?! Are you crazy? Of the three city walls in the east, west and south, which one will take more than half a year to be repaired?"
"What an arrogant Liang Ren! You are clearly looking for death!"
All the officials were shocked by Song Che's bold words.
"Okay!" Timur said: "Since Mr. Song is so confident, I will agree with you to help Wang Er build the city wall, but I will be the first to say ugly things. If you are overdue or the quality is not up to standard, I will Even if I cherish my talent, I have to deal with you according to military law."
Song Che said loudly: "All the ministers have learned from each other, of course!"
"Well, princes, there are three city walls in the east, west and south. Which one do you want to choose -"
"My son wants the east wall!"
Before Timur could finish his words, Sultan blurted out.
"Why do you want the east wall?" Kuimu immediately refused: "Everyone knows that the east wall is closest to the quarry, which can greatly save manpower and time in transporting stones... My father and I also want the east wall!"
Sultan hummed: "Second brother, no matter what, I am your brother, not to mention today's hunting, regardless of the violation of the third brother's rules, I have hunted more slaves than you. Everyone is eligible for priority selection!”
"You—" Kuimu gritted his teeth and had to settle for the next best thing: "Then I choose the south wall!"
The rest of the Western Wall naturally fell into the hands of the third prince Bach.
"Okay!" Timur stood up and said: "As expected of Ben Khan's son, everyone has played a responsible role, so Ben Khan will also use this birthday party to announce a major event with the tribal leaders -
On the first day of next year, this Khan will obey God's will and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor! If any of the three princes can repair the city walls of Dadu in the shortest time, I will appoint him as the crown prince and take over my mantle to lead the Hu Dynasty! "
