Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
study.
In the study, several officials-looking people were arguing loudly. Outside the study, over the high wall of the courtyard, crazy shouts, howls and cries kept flying in.
In the courtyard outside the study, 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 unkempt sparks wrapped in the gushing hot air, flying all over the sky and penetrating the dense fog. When they listened carefully, they could 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?"
The people in the study were discussing very loudly just now, 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 to relax, and the servants didn't dare to disturb him. As a result, his beard and chest robe were soaked with his drool.
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 looked dissatisfied, and some complained in a low voice. He turned around slightly and glanced at those people, who lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes.
He stroked his beard and waited for a long time before Tu Danyi finished doing it. When he was about to speak, he saw Tu Shanyi's head tilted to the side, and he was about to doze off again.
He really couldn't bear it now, so he immediately stepped 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 Chief Minister 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 seize and 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, with only two followers and guards around him. There were more than a hundred of them, 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 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 officials in the imperial court, and a leading general with great achievements in opening up new territories and territories, died just like that. When Wanyan Gang was in power, he oversaw the military affairs of North Korea and China and was fully responsible for the war with Mongolia. His political power spread over hundreds of thousands of people along the thousands of miles of boundary trenches. He was able to directly control the three recruitment divisions in the north, and influenced the Central Plains and Shandong. The local military commander.
Among them, there is of course the rise of Mongolia, and Daikin must unify its powers to deal with the impact. But in modern times, there is really no powerful official who controls the military force more than Wan Yan Gang.
Compared with Wanyan Gang, Tu Danyi was just an out-of-time Confucian scholar, and he was not trusted by the emperor. Even counting the strength of the entire Tu Dan clan, they were unable to fight back under Wan Yan Gang's suppression. There have been several disputes in the court this year, and Tu Dan Yi has lost the old foundation of the clan's decades of operation in Zhongdu. Empty.
This is visible to everyone and cannot be faked.
Even the emperor himself felt that Tu Danyi's power was not enough to balance Wanyan Gang. Therefore, Xu Ding, the son of the former prime minister Xu Zhiguo, who was supported by his own party members, was promoted 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 killed with random knives at the door of his mansion. There was no sign of such a major event before, and even his biggest political enemy, Shan Yi, only found out about it from other people's mouths.
Of course Tu Dan Youcheng is innocent. Tu Dan Youcheng's clan relative Tu Dan Nanping was also killed by that mad dog Hu Shahu! That mad dog basically bites whoever he catches, no one can guess what he wants to do!
Xu Ding looked at Tu Danyi, who looked sleepy and aged, with a somewhat 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 to show you.
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 if You Cheng has 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 direct capital of the imperial guard, An Zhen, can be appointed as the marshal-in-chief on the left, the inspector on the right in front of the palace, and the commander-in-chief of the bodyguard and army."
"Shang Shu Sheng Ling Shi Mongolia Gang 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 magistrate of Shangshu, can appoint Xuan sent troops to control the army, Tongzhi Zhongshun army Jiedushi envoys, and conduct military operations in Shanxi."
Having said this, he paused and looked at Xu Ding: "Hezhi, with these 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 military and political affairs in various places...what do you think?"
Xu Ding had heard the names of these people more or less, and they were mostly young, powerful and talented officials. However, if promotion is carried out step by step, even in five or ten years, these people will not be able to reach the position Tu Danyi said.
So these are the real henchmen of Tu Danyi? It turns out that Hu Shahu was busy in this situation, but was he just paving the way for his disciple Dan Yi?
Xu Ding looked at Tu Shanyi'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 him."
Xu Ding's eyes narrowed.
Tu Danyi yawned.
The sky outside gradually brightened, and the sound of fighting gradually became lower. There is no doubt that Hu Shahu has 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 failure, 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..."
When he said this, Tu Danyi suddenly dozed off again.
Xu Ding smiled bitterly, leaned forward and called softly: "You Cheng! You Cheng!"
Tu Danyi looked around blankly: "What's wrong? I fell asleep again? Hezhi, what were we talking about just now?"
"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? Are you confused?
Xu Ding was about to retort when he suddenly took two steps back and almost fell to the ground. Due to the sudden heavy sweat on his forehead, his vision was blurred, and he couldn't see Tu Danyi's face clearly for a while. He only heard Tu Danyi's calm and authentic voice:
"Hu Shahu is extremely ferocious. After entering the Central Capital, he first killed Wanyan Zuocheng, and then killed 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 the Ministry of Finance. , we have to find a way to calculate reliable figures. These are Hu Shahu’s faults and will be used in the future.”
