Chongxuanzi took the order and was about to leave. As soon as he took a step, he heard someone beside him shout: "Wait a minute!"
The speaker was Xu Ding.
Chongxuanzi knew that this man was an important ally of Tu Danyi, but when he saw that he suddenly stopped him, he did not dare to move.
Xu Ding gently waved his robe sleeves, stood next to Tu Danyi, and lowered his voice: "Sir, why is this necessary?"
"Hezhi, I don't understand what you mean."
Xu Ding glanced at the people around him with a displeased expression, and waited for them to retreat before continuing: "In the past few years, whenever these clan kings intervened in the affairs of the imperial court, there was never a mess. Sir, Finally, this time, we can have the final say, so why involve them again?"
"..."
I lost my mind! Trouble is coming!
Tu Shanyi suddenly woke up and was speechless for a moment.
Of course he understood Xu Ding's intentions. Xu Ding represented a group of Han officials who were promoted when Xu Zhiguo was in power. Emperor Zhangzong ascended the throne as the emperor's grandson. The reason why Xu Ding was appointed was because It was up to Xu Zhiguo and others to suppress the huge power of the imperial uncles in the court.
During the Mingchang period, King Zheng Wanyan Yongbu and King Hao Wanyan Yongzhong were successively involved in rebellion cases. Later, the king committed suicide, his relatives and subordinates were executed, and many officials who were close to the two kings were demoted and dismissed.
Later, Emperor Sejong's disciples were expelled from the capital one by one. For example, King Yonggong of Yue was in charge of Pingyang Prefecture affairs, King Yongcheng of Yu was in charge of Zhending Prefecture affairs, and King Kui Yongsheng was appointed as the governor of Dingwu Army. The emperor who had just died was At that time, King Yongji of Wei was dismissed as the military governor of Anwu Army.
In conjunction with this, there are many restrictions and preventive measures, such as strictly prohibiting the king of the clan from going out for hunting for more than five days, and strictly prohibiting the kings from leaving the jurisdiction. If the king of the clan serves as a military envoy, it is clear that the second officer of the clan will be in charge of military affairs. I am not allowed to interfere.
These things were all promoted by Emperor Zhang Zong himself, and those who carried them out and implemented them were the Xu Zhiguo Party.
To a certain extent, the faction of Han'er practical officials represented by Xu Chiguo stepped onto the imperial court step by step on the corpses of the clan clan faction. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.
However, the power of the princes never recovered after being attacked by Emperor Zhangzong. Xu Chiguo failed in the subsequent political struggle, and only a small part of its power was left gathered around Xu Ding. Both families were weak and ineffective. , then let’s stop for now.
Therefore, although Xu Ding was dissatisfied with Wanyan Yongji, he never thought of bringing in the power of the clan kings in Zhongdu City. In his eyes, only King Sheng was a suitable candidate for the next emperor.
King Sheng has always kept a low profile. In Yongding, after more than ten years as the governor of Zhangde Army, there were very few party members in Zhongdu. When he became emperor, important ministers could act without restraint. If the king of Yue, King Kui and King Huo and the others got involved and even selected an emperor among them... God knows what will happen to the court?
Your disciple, Mr. Shan, is a Jurchen nobleman. He spoke for the sect kings in the court and had a good relationship, so he naturally feels that he can mediate between them.
But I, Xu Ding, and those sect kings are old enemies!
Well, when I was the Minister of Household Affairs, the influence of the inner clan clan king was only that much; now I have seized the opportunity of the coup in the court, and I am about to lead my father's old subordinates to stir up trouble. You and your disciple Shan Youcheng share the political power of the court equally... but you suddenly have a sudden idea to promote the power of the king?
So what was the purpose of my busy schedule yesterday?
Is your political commitment to me, Mr. Tudan, true or false?
Is it necessary to demolish the bridge before the river has been crossed? Don't you think it's too anxious?
"Zhiyuan, wait a moment."
Hearing this, Chongxuanzi quickly stood back behind Tu Danyi.
Tu Shanyi forced a smile and said to Xu Ding: "What Shengzhi said makes sense. Let me think about it carefully."
Xu Ding nodded slightly and walked towards his party members.
Of course, what Xu Ding could think of, Tu Shanyi also wanted. On that day, he and Wanyan Gang both took a fancy to King Sheng and intended to replace the emperor with King Sheng. This was because King Sheng had few followers and was easy to manipulate.
At this time, he intended to introduce the fate of other sect kings. In fact, he was doing it to Guo Ning and King Sheng to threaten them and let them know that Tu Danyi did not only have one choice.
In the past few decades, Tu Shanyi relied on these tactics to survive in the court. In the past day and night, he relied on this method to overturn the court in one go.
The problem is, Xu Ding doesn't know.
He didn't understand that Tu Shanyi was using means to threaten Guo Ning, and Tu Shanyi couldn't explain it to Xu Ding.
how to explain?
Tell Xu Ding directly, I'm sorry, I saw the knife in my hand being a bit disobedient when I was cutting the meat?
Tu Danyi easily won the support of so many powerful figures in the DPRK and China. The important premise is that these figures in the DPRK believed that Tu Danyi not only had the influence in the court and the means to manipulate the coup, but also had a capable military force.
Therefore, even if Shuhu Gaoqi suddenly led his troops back to the city, everyone did not panic. This was because this force defeated Hu Shahu's troops in one fell swoop, which truly proved their strength and convinced Xu Ding, Pusan Anzhen and others to become followers of Shan Yi.
Strength.
Tu Shanyi had always believed confidently that the chaos during the coup was only temporary. After uniting the power of the court and the Central Capital, he would be able to subdue all unstable factors and force the Kingdom of Jin back on track.
Now Tu Danyi understands that this idea is completely wrong.
Last night, all the forces in Zhongdu pretended to be deaf and dumb, sitting back and watching Hu Shahu kill the emperor and wipe out Wanyan Gang's forces. Since then, the people of Dajin have been torn apart. How can anyone be single-minded?
Follow Tu Danyi and do thankless things?
Hu Shahu is a wolf, and Guo Ning is an evil tiger.
Tu Danyi has many ways to suppress a single ferocious beast. However, after last night's drama, all the forces in Zhongdu City, and the characters who originally pretended to be human, have now all turned into wolves.
This is very difficult to deal with.
At this moment, everyone is showing their strength on the table, because a large number of people who were eating meat around the table have died, and the new diners are all salivating, showing their white teeth, waiting to cut the meat and eat it!
Originally, the emperor and Wanyan Gang were in control of the court situation, and Tu Shanyi retreated step by step, maintaining a detached attitude. But once he entered the court, he fell into a situation that affected his entire body.
Like everyone else, he became a wolf at the table waiting to be divided.
At this time, if Tu Danyi said, the knife pierced into the flesh is not mine...
Then, I'm afraid there is a question: Since you don't have a knife in your hand, why should you preside over the meat-cutting ceremony?
That knife looks very useful. Who uses it? Isn't it the same?
There are some things that no one dares to think about before they are done. But now that they have done it, many people have discovered that it is just that. They have kicked away the emperor, the minister Zuo Cheng, and the right deputy marshal.
, is it difficult to kick away another minister, You Cheng?
He even said, who actually controls the knife? Why not kick away a few food grabbers and ask them to cut a piece of meat?
Tu Danyi felt that he had suddenly entered a dilemma.
Then he was horrified and surprised, unable to understand.
Why Xu Ding?
The reason why he was the first to win over Xu Ding was that the group of Han officials behind Xu Ding would be very useful in handling political affairs in the future; and because the group of people represented by Xu Ding had absolutely no support with force, and now they were in Zhongdu City
The weakest group of people.
Xu Ding himself knew this very well!
But how could he have the guts to talk to me like this?
How could these Han children have the courage to openly block the Jurchen clan kings from entering?
In the past few months, Tu Shanyi has been planning major events step by step. In the past two days, he has worked hard to balance the complex situation in Zhongdu. By this time, major events should have been decided, but instead
A sudden twist occurred, which really gave him a headache.
He stood up from his shoulder chair, looked carefully at the people around Xu Ding, and then looked around at the people in front of Xuanhua Gate. After all, he was old, his energy had really declined, and his eyesight was really bad. When he saw where Guo Ning was,
When moving in the direction, my vision is blurred.
"Zhiyuan! Look, who is standing behind Guo Ning?"
Chongxuanzi could see it clearly. He was a middle-aged scholar. He was a good partner and old friend of Chongxuanzi who studied Shu Shufengjiao with him in Zhongdu City. He was also a member of Xu Zhiguo's disciples when he was in power.
He noticed that when Xu Ding returned to the queue of his party members, the middle-aged scholar bowed respectfully.
Xu Ding stroked his beard under his chin, looked at the scholar with a complicated expression, and nodded slightly.
Chongxuanzi could only sigh. This scholar was also very familiar to Tu Danyi. On that day Tu Danyi made up his mind to replace the emperor, which may have been influenced by the scholar's crazy ravings twenty years ago.
"That's Du Shisheng. You Cheng, I don't know when this person has contacted Xu Ding."
Tu Danyi patted his forehead hard: "I was negligent!"
Du Shisheng is now an important subordinate of Guo Ning. If Xu Ding and Guo Ning are connected through Du Shisheng, Tu Shanyi's position will be shaken immediately. If these two parties continue to support each other together,
The sign of the Rising King...
Tu Danyi's heart beat several times.
He suddenly felt a little sad. Du Shisheng, a lunatic, had a chance to stand out. But what about Yi La Chu Cai? Yi La Chu Cai was the son of Tu Dan Yi's old friend, and Tu Dan Yi had placed great hope and trust in him.
, so he was asked to represent himself to contain the evil tiger Guo Ning.
However, what exactly did Yizai Chucai do when he was with Guo Ning, and what role did he play? Where is he now?
Perhaps, some things and some people had gone beyond their expectations from the beginning, but Tu Danyi had not noticed it before.
At this time, the surrounding crowd suddenly started to stir, as if a wind was blowing, making the originally silent grass and trees whistle. Some people who were particularly close to Xuanhua Gate even stumbled and fell, and then retreated on their hands and feet.
Because Guo Ning, who had been sitting under Xuanhua's door to rest, suddenly stood up.
"Mr. Jinzhi, you must hurry up and take inventory of the weapons, armor, food, fodder, and horses. We should be able to stay here at Xuanhua Gate for one night. We should sort out everything that belongs to us. There is no need to leave it to others."
"As ordered." Du Shisheng bowed his head deeply and was extremely respectful.
"These people in front of me are all courageous bandits! If you keep waiting, you don't know how long it will take? Let me go and say a few words!"
Guo Ning stretched, put away the iron bone flower, sheathed the golden sword, and stepped forward.
