In the study, there were several officials who looked like they were arguing loudly. Outside the study, over the high wall of the courtyard, there were crazy shouts of death, howls and cries kept flying in.
In the courtyard outside the study, there are no less than a hundred well-armed guards gathered. Judging by their attire, they belong to at least five or six families.
The guards did not talk to each other. Many people looked up and saw the red light flashing in the early morning sky. There were fluffy sparks wrapped in the hot air, flying all over the sky and penetrating the dense fog. They listened carefully.
You can also hear the crackling of firewood and the collapse of buildings.
"What's wrong?" Tu Danyi yawned and asked, "What are you yelling outside? Are you all so anxious?"
Just now, the people in the study were discussing very loudly, but he was soundly asleep.
The old man didn't have a good rest all night, so he finally closed his eyes for a while, and the servants didn't dare to disturb him. As a result, his drool soaked his beard and the robe on his chest.
After Tu Shanyi asked, he felt a sticky discomfort in his chest, and loudly called the servants to come in, wipe his beard, and change his outer robe.
An official in his forties bowed slightly when he heard Tu Shanyi's question.
As a result, just as he was waiting for an answer, the servants came in.
Behind him, several people showed dissatisfied looks, and some complained in low voices. He turned around slightly and glanced at them, only to see those people lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes.
He stroked his beard and waited for a long time until Tu Danyi finished doing it. When he was about to speak, he saw Tu Danyi's head tilted to the side and he was about to doze off again.
Now he really couldn't bear it anymore, so he immediately took half a step forward and called out in a slightly raised voice: "You Cheng!"
Tu Danyi was startled by his voice and opened his eyes suddenly: "What? What's wrong?"
He took a breath and said again: "It's just a disturbance outside. Hezhi, what are you shouting about?"
The person who was called Hezhi was Xu Ding, the emperor's newly promoted important minister, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the counselor of political affairs.
Xu Ding said in a deep voice: "The good disciple Shan Youcheng has learned that Wanyan Zuocheng is dead!"
Tu Danyi was silent for a while.
"When did it happen? How did you die?"
"When Hu Shahu entered Zhongdu and attacked the palace city, he ordered his general Wu Gulun to kill more than a thousand soldiers, and at the same time he attacked Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. Wanyan Zuo Cheng was completely unprepared at the time. The total number of followers and guards around him was no more than two
There were more than a hundred soldiers, so they fought and retreated, and defended themselves on high buildings. It is said that Wanyan Zuocheng personally fought with a sword and killed several rebels..."
"and after?"
"Later, Hu Shahu captured Wanyan Zuocheng's son at Zhaomingmen, and served Wanyan Anhe in the Imperial Attendance Bureau, and then sent people to use this to invite him to negotiate. Wanyan Zuocheng was eager to love his son, so he went out to talk, and the rebel leader Wu Gulun
Duola immediately ordered to kill Wanyan Zuocheng with random swords and took his head to Donghua Gate to show the emperor. His son Anhe was also killed immediately."
A man of the hour for decades, the recognized leader of the military ministers in the imperial court, and a leading general with great achievements in opening up new territories, died just like that. When Wanyan Gang was in power, he oversaw the military affairs of the DPRK and China and was fully responsible for the war against Mongolia.
, whose political power spans hundreds of thousands of people along the thousands of miles of boundary trenches, can directly control the three recruiting divisions in the north, and influence the unified army divisions in the Central Plains and Shandong.
Among them, there is of course the influence of the rise of Mongolia, which Dajin must unify its powers to deal with. However, in modern times, there is really no more powerful minister who controls the force than Wanyan Gang.
Compared with Wanyan Gang, Tu Danyi is just an out-of-time Confucian scholar, and he does not have the trust of the emperor. Even if the power of the entire Tu Dan clan is included, there is no way to fight back under Wanyan Gang's suppression. This year
There have been several disputes in the court, and Tu Shanyi has lost all the old foundation of the clan's decades of operation in Zhongdu.
This is in the eyes of everyone and cannot be faked.
Even the emperor himself felt that Tu Shanyi's power was not enough to balance Wanyan Gang. Therefore, he promoted Xu Ding, the son of the former prime minister Xu Zhiguo, who had the support of his own party members, in an attempt to cultivate Xu Ding to stabilize the court.
Who would have thought that Wanyan Gang would die suddenly?
Die lightly, die frivolously.
A general who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops was not shrouded in horse leather. Instead, he was betrayed by his political allies and was stabbed to death at the door of his mansion. There was no sign of such a major event before, and even his greatest
Political enemy Shan Yi only found out about this matter from other people's mouths.
Tu Dan Youcheng was of course innocent. Tu Dan Youcheng's clan relative Tu Dan Nanping was also killed by that mad dog Hu Shahu! That mad dog simply bit whoever he caught, and no one could figure out what he wanted to do!
Xu Ding looked at the sleepy and old Tu Danyi with a complicated expression. He wanted to ask a few questions, but he knew that Tu Danyi would not answer anything at all, which made him anxious, so he immediately dozed off.
look.
Finally, Xu Ding stood up, led several of his companions, and bowed respectfully to Tu Danyi.
"The current situation is very troublesome. We must find a way to put it under control. We cannot let Zhongdu and the DPRK continue to be in chaos! The Mongols are so ferocious, so we must quickly arrange manpower to resist them! I wonder, Your Majesty, if you have any good ideas?
"
Tu Danyi thought for a while and said casually: "There are manpower! How could the Dajin Dynasty not have manpower?"
"What does You Cheng mean?"
Tu Danyi chuckled twice:
"The commander-in-chief of the imperial guard, San Anzhen, can be appointed as the marshal on the left as the governor, as the inspector on the right in front of the palace and as the commander-in-chief of the bodyguard and the army."
"The Minister of Provincial Order, the Mongolian Compendium, can also know the affairs of Daxing Prefecture."
"Wanyan Bi, the defense envoy of Yunnei Prefecture, can be appointed as the marshal's right commander, the commander-in-chief of Zhending, and the commander-in-chief of the military and horse capital of Hebei West Road."
"The governor of Ninghua Prefecture, Bilan Aludai, can be appointed as the governor of Hebei East Road."
"Shi Tianzhuo, the provincial minister of Shangshu, can appoint Xuan to send soldiers and horses to control them, and he will also know the Zhongshun army to make military envoys to pass through Shanxi."
Having said this, he paused and looked at Xu Ding: "Hezhi, with these few people, the current situation can be stabilized. The process of forcing the Mongolian army back this time will allow them to make meritorious deeds and then use their prestige to rectify the situation."
The military and political affairs in various places...what do you think?"
Xu Ding has heard the names of these people more or less, and they are mostly young, powerful and talented officials. However, if they are promoted step by step, even in five or ten years, these people will not reach the level that Tu Danyi said.
Location.
It turns out that these people are Tu Danyi’s real party members? It turns out that Hu Shahu was busy in this situation, but was he just paving the way for Tu Danyi?
Xu Ding looked at Tu Danyi's face, which looked unusually deep even though he was smiling, and lowered his eyelids slightly.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "These few are naturally capable talents. However, Hu Shahu is about to invade the palace and control the emperor. With his fierce and unruly temperament, he will only be busy appointing officials and making wishes.
Rewarding his accomplices, what You Cheng wants, how can it be easily realized?"
Tu Danyi smoothed his gray beard and said lightly: "Hu Shahu will definitely fail, so there is no need to worry about it."
Xu Ding's eyes narrowed.
Tu Danyi yawned.
The sky outside gradually brightened, and the sound of fighting gradually subsided. There was no doubt that Hu Shahu had gradually taken control of the situation. But Tu Shanyi said that Hu Shahu would definitely fail?
This old man is like a deep pool of water. It seems clear and shallow, but no one can see how deep it is!
Xu Ding took a deep breath.
"After Hu Shahu's defeat, the emperor will also make arrangements for matters in the court and local powers and responsibilities. Although You Cheng's idea is good, His Majesty's thoughts have always been unpredictable, especially for You Cheng's suggestions. Haha, this is still
We need to push it slowly from you and I, I’m afraid we can’t rush it..."
When he said this, Tu Danyi suddenly dozed off again.
Xu Ding smiled bitterly twice, leaned forward and called softly: "You Cheng! You Cheng!"
Tu Danyi looked around blankly: "What's wrong? I fell asleep again? Hezhi, what did we just say?"
"We are saying that even if Hu Shahu fails, the emperor after all..."
"Emperor?" Tu Danyi looked puzzled: "Wasn't the emperor killed by Hu Shahu?"
How can this happen? Is Tudan old and confused?
Xu Ding was about to retort when he suddenly took two steps back and almost fell to the ground. As a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his vision was blurred. For a while, he couldn't see Tu Danyi's face clearly, and he could only hear Tu Dan.
Yi said calmly and authentically:
"Hu Shahu is extremely ferocious. After entering the Central Capital, he first killed Wanyan Zuocheng, and then his Majesty. This is what the ancients said: regicides will be punished when they are found."
"……I see."
"In addition, Hezhi, on this trip, the number of soldiers and civilians killed in Zhongdu City is probably no less than tens of thousands. The number of high-ranking officials killed and injured is no less than thousands. It is truly a tragic disaster that has never happened since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. You are the Minister of Household Affairs
, we have to find a way to calculate reliable figures. These are all Hu Shahu's faults, and they will be used in the future."
