When it comes to the words "pillar of the country", if Tu Shanyi is not worthy enough, then no one in this court is worthy enough.
He was the number one scholar in Jurchen poetry in the 13th year of Dading, and was proficient in Khitan small and large characters and Chinese characters. Officials are professors at Zhongdu and assistant professors at Guozi.
In just a few years, his studies flourished. He also completed Jurchen translations of Chinese classics such as "Yi", "Book", "The Analects" and "Mencius". He was an extremely knowledgeable scholar among the Jurchens.
Many of the students taught by Tu Shanyi later became officials and ministers.
The virtuous prime minister at that time, Shi Lieliangbi, personally went to the school to talk with him and showed deep respect to him. Emperor Sejong once praised Tu Danyi for his "gentle appearance and gentle mind", while Taiwei Wanyan Shoudao praised Tu Danyi for being "talented and able to handle political affairs".
When Zhang Zong came to the throne, Tu Shanyi was promoted from the position of admonishing the officials from the left and serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to Zhongcheng, the censor, and participated in political affairs, becoming one of the prime ministers of the dynasty.
That was twenty-three years ago. At that time, Wanyan Gang had just become the emperor, and he was far away from Tu Shanyi.
But Tu Shanyi's status as prime minister did not last long.
Because Emperor Zhangzong was determined to bring peace, he activated Xu Zhiguo's group to fight fiercely with the political forces of the inner clan kings. King Zheng Wanyan Yongbu and King Hao Wanyan Yongzhong died one after another and their families were wiped out. The emperor also found a chance to kill a group of other nobles from the inner clan.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Tu Danyi, but he happened to write a letter to the emperor at this time, asking the emperor to disregard small kindnesses based on his likes, dislikes, joys and anger, and not be considerate of others. As a result, the angry emperor suspected him of being a member of the inner clan and was demoted. Zhongdu.
In the following more than ten years, Tu Shanyi rose and fell and held important positions such as Jiedushi, Liushou, Pingzhang political affairs, magistrate, and pacification envoy, etc., and made achievements in all his positions. When Taihe conquered the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Gang led the people in Guanlong to defeat Shu. In fact, it was mainly due to his disciple Shan Yi's planning.
At that time, Tu Shanyi knew about the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion and served as the envoy of Xuanfu. He was also under the control of Marshal Shaanxi Mansion. He could be regarded as Wanyan Gang's superior. However, he had an easy-going and graceful temperament and did not easily quarrel with others.
When the Mongols invaded in the third year of Da'an, Tu Shanyi was staying in Beijing to take up his post. He urgently sent his colleague Wugu Sun Wutun to lead 20,000 elite troops to defend the central capital. The central capital relied on this for its safety, and Shan Yi, the disciple, paid homage to the prime minister for the third time based on his merits and became the right prime minister of Shangshu.
But the current emperor respects Tu Dan Yikong, but cannot adopt his opinion.
Before the Battle of Yehuling, Tu Shanyi proposed that the border garrison cannot be dispersed and must be assembled as soon as possible to protect the city, and good generals should be selected and prepared for defense.
The emperor refused to accept it and suffered a disastrous defeat.
Tu Shanyi also wrote a letter saying that the three states of Chang, Huan and Fu on the frontier fortress were known as "Fushi" and their people were brave and strong. Since the defense line behind Monan Mountain was unsafe, the people of these three states must be moved inward as soon as possible. This will benefit our military strength. People, animals, goods and wealth will not be lost.
The emperor still refused to accept it. As a result, most of the people in the three states and hundreds of millions of military resources were used by Mongolia.
Soon after, Tu Shanyi wrote for the third time, this time about the Liaodong incident. He said that Liaodong is the foundation of the country and is thousands of miles away from the central capital. In case of being attacked by troops, the state capital will look after it and all matters, big and small, must be reported and implemented. There will be many mistakes. We should send capable ministers to the province of Liaodong to control it.
At this time, in order to deal with Mongolia, the emperor established Xijing Province and Xuande Province successively. Tu Shanyi's suggestion was to follow the trend and act very cautiously.
However, the emperor believed that Tu Danyi's plan to establish a province in Liaodong, where nothing happened, was in vain to shake people's hearts and was still not allowed. As a result, last year the Khitan Yelvliu Ge raised troops to rebuild the Liao Kingdom, but Tokyo failed to defend it and the country was shaken.
When the relationship between the monarch and his ministers reached this level, Tu Shanyi really had nothing to say.
He is nearly seventy years old and has served in four dynasties for more than forty years. Doesn't he still prove himself?
Isn't the queen in the palace the daughter of Tu Shan?
What on earth was the emperor suspicious of?
Is he willing to pay such a heavy price just to suppress the right prime minister of the current dynasty?
In Tu Danyi's impression, before he came to the throne, the current emperor was at least a decent person. Why did he act so absurdly after arriving at Dabao? Over the years, Dajin has lost its talent, and now even the emperor is so confused?
If something like this happens again, will Daikin still be around?
No, this has happened again. The Jinshan Province in front of us, and Wanyan Gang's wanton behavior in front of us, aren't they the beginning of another failure?
The Mongols will definitely come again after autumn, but they can unify their affairs to fight against powerful enemies. Is it possible to use such a method? Isn't the power thus unified still fragmented inside?
At this time, strong enemies are on the horizon, thieves and ministers have been taken advantage of, and no one dares to treat the internal and external problems. Shan Yi shows calmness externally, but in his heart he is extremely anxious, but in the end he can only do nothing.
Sometimes he even thought that it was a good thing that he fell off a horse and injured his leg. At least, this way, you don’t have to go to court and see the confused faces of those mediocre people.
How is the official business, how is the country's situation... Tu Danyi is already planning to let go. He didn't know what else he could do, what else he could do.
I really didn’t expect that Wanyan Gang would use his methods on Tu Shanhang? If he really succeeds, how will Tu Shanyi face his recently deceased cousin in the future?
From this perspective, Tu Danyi is quite grateful to Guo Ning. At least, this reckless leader of the defeated army killed the mad dog Chizhan Sagai and did what Tu Danyi had always wanted to do, but was inconvenient to do it due to his status.
Tu Danyi would not care about the consequences of doing so like Chong Xuanzi, let alone panic.
This clan brother has been in Taoism for decades and is full of knowledge on how to cultivate life, but his vision has become more and more shallow. He didn't understand that even if Wanyan Gang was furious because of this, Tu Danyi was not afraid.
Are the ups and downs in the court so scary? Even if my Tu Dan Yi is defeated by Wan Yan Gang, and there are still Tu Dan Ming, Tu Dan Nanping, Tu Dan Mulie and other clansmen in the court, the ups and downs in this matter will not be determined in the end. No one knows the outcome. .
As for Guo Ning, a figure who rose out of the wilderness, he tried his best to use tricks and tricks.
In decades of political career, Tu Shanyi has seen many such figures come and go.
Having been nurtured in his political career, Apostle Shan Yi knows very well that he should not be controlled by emotions at any time. He must take appropriate actions at the appropriate time based on the consideration of pros and cons.
No matter what Guo Ning's purpose was in killing Chizhan Sagai, even if he wanted to stir up trouble for profit. Now that he has done this, he must accept the goodwill shown by Tu Danyi and be on the front line against Wanyan Gang.
And Tu Danyi must also accept this person and support him so that he has the ability to fight against Wanyan Gang. At least, don't lose too quickly.
The rules in the political arena are like this, and you don't need to be very smart to master them. If everything develops normally, what Tu Danyi has to do next will be very simple.
Even though Tu Shanyi had already planned to let go, this little thing was not difficult.
Only Du Shisheng...
Chong Xuanzi only remembered that this was an old friend from back then, but in Tu Danyi's memory, he represented more information.
At this moment, the appearance of this person and these messages suddenly made Tu Shanyi think of something that he would never have thought of before.
Tu Danyi closed his eyes slightly and murmured: "I remember when Du Shisheng was in Zhongdu, was he familiar with your group?"
"Hey, when I was interacting with Du Shisheng, wasn't it because I was following my brother's wishes and forming a good relationship with Xu Zhiguo?"
Tu Shanyi didn't even open his eyes and said, "I remember what spells and wind horns you all like."
Chongxuanzi said with some emotion: "Yes. Master Tixuan was in Zhongdu at that time, and he was quite miraculous. In addition, Mr. Taigu was very fond of Yixue and divination, and he also gave us guidance. During that period, Du Shisheng, Zhao Jingdao, Gao Zhengzhi, Wu Zhen, Li Ji'an and others are all here, and we talk about it every day, which is really happy."
"As a result, Du Shisheng's nonsense came out and caused trouble with the boss."
"Ahem..."
At that time, Du Shisheng didn't know what medicine he had taken, and he suddenly became upset and went to the public to say those taboo words. Chong Xuanzi and others were also shocked. Later, Zhao Jingdao, Gao Zhengzhi, Wu Zhen and others were all implicated and had to leave Zhongdu. Li Xuan and Li Ji'an were dismissed from their posts because of this.
That time Chongxuanzi did not suffer, so he naturally relied on Tu Shanyi's help. But thinking about the embarrassment during that period, he still has lingering fears and can't help but cough repeatedly.
While he was coughing, his disciple Shan Yi asked: "Do you still remember what Du Shisheng said at that time?"
Chong Xuanzi's face turned pale: "What?"
"Those words he said once spread all over the world. I still remember them."
Tu Danyi said softly: "He said, I see the red energy in the north is like blood, stretching east and west across the sky, the world will be in chaos, and the north and south will become one. The news is full and empty, and the cycle is unreasonable. Examine the past and come, who can violate it? Of."
"...Yes." Chong Xuanzi responded with a trembling voice.
"I have also seen the scene in the north that is as red as blood and the sky from east to west in the past two years. If this continues, hey, the world will be in chaos, and the north and south will merge into one. Who knows?"
Tu Danyi opened his eyes and looked carefully in front of him, but there was clearly an empty space in front of him: "As for the last four sentences..."
Tu Shanyi sat upright.
He was old, but once he stood up straight, his original intention of humility and concession seemed to be gone, and his whole person was full of fighting spirit.
He said: "It is said in the South China Sutra that the news is full and empty, and the end has a beginning. And this cycle of unprovoked violent changes from the end to the beginning is just like the sunda wind shaking thunder. Zhiyuan, which hexagram is the sunda shaking at the top? ?”
When it comes to Yi Shu calculations, Chong Xuanzi is far inferior to Tu Danyi, but this is his ability to eat after all. He gritted his teeth and responded: "This is the 'Yi' hexagram, which is beneficial to the destination and the great river. This is a hexagram that harms the upper and benefits the lower. And the 'Yi' hexagram has chaos, so it is called end of chaos."
"So, why is 'Benefit' the end of the hexagram?"
Sweat was dripping from Chong Xuanzi's forehead. He replied: "It's 'Ji Ji'!"
Tu Shanyi thought thoughtfully: "'Ji Ji' means prosperity, and the small one is prosperous. The benefit is chastity, which means firmness, softness, and uprightness, and the right position. The first auspiciousness, softness is the middle. When it ends, it will lead to chaos, and its path will be poor. Ambition is also poor. Source, the news in this world is full and empty, and the cycle is unreasonable. Therefore, there are 'un-ji' and 'already-ji', but there should not be 'ever-ji'! Looking at the past and the future, who can go against it?"
Chong Xuanzi's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground.
When Tu Shanyi said this, it can be said that he has no idea. All because the current emperor of the Jin Kingdom, the man who disappointed his disciple Shan Yi again and again, is named Wanyan Yongji!
