Chapter 124 Blood City
Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

study.

In the study, several people who looked like officials were arguing loudly.Outside the study room, beyond the high wall of the courtyard, there were crazed shouts, howls and cries that kept flying in.

In the courtyard outside the study, no less than a hundred well-armed guards gathered.Looking at the 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, and the unkempt sparks were wrapped in the gushing hot air, flying all over the sky, penetrating the dense fog.Listening carefully, they could also hear the crackling of firewood and the collapse of buildings.

"What's the matter?" Tu Danyi yawned and asked, "What's the noise outside? Are you all in such a hurry?"

The people in Shicai's study were discussing very loudly, but he slept soundly.

The old man didn't have a good rest all night, and finally closed his eyes to rest for a while, and the servants didn't dare to disturb him.As a result, his beard and the robe on his chest were wetted by his drooling.

After Tu Danyi asked a question, he felt sticky and uncomfortable in his chest, and called the servants loudly 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, while waiting for an answer, the servants came in.

Behind him, several people showed expressions of dissatisfaction, and some complained in a low voice.He turned around a little and glanced at them, and those people lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes.

He stroked his beard and waited for a long time before Tu Danyi finished tidying up.When he was about to speak, he saw that Tu Danyi's head was tilted to the side, and he was about to doze off again.

Now he couldn't bear it anymore, he immediately took half a step forward and called out slightly: "You Cheng!"

Tu Danyi was startled by his voice, and opened his eyes suddenly: "What? What's wrong?"

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "The disturbance outside is fine, and what are you shouting about?"

The person called Hezhi is Xu Ding, the emperor's newly promoted important minister, Minister of the Household Department, and Shen Zhizhengshi.

Xu Ding said in a deep voice: "Shan Youcheng, a good disciple, learned that Wanyan Zuocheng is dead!"

Tu Danyi was silent for a while.

"When did it happen? How did you die?"

"Hu Shahu cut through the gates and entered Zhongdu. When he attacked Miyagi, he ordered Pianjiang Wu Gulun to seize more than a thousand soldiers and attack Prime Minister Zuo's mansion at the same time. There were more than a hundred people, so they fought and retreated, and defended according to the high-rise building. It is said that Wanyan Zuocheng personally fought with a knife and killed several rebels..."

"and after?"

"Later, Hu Shahu arrested Wanyan Zuocheng's son at Zhaomingmen, and served Wanyan Anhe in the near servant bureau, and then sent people to invite him to negotiate with him. Duo assassinated Wanyan Zuocheng with a random knife, and brought his head to the Donghua Gate to show the emperor. His son Anhe was also killed immediately."

A man of influence for decades, recognized as the head of military officials by the imperial court, and a leading general who had made great achievements in opening up territories, just died like this.When Wan Yangang was in power, he was in charge of the military affairs of the DPRK and China, and was fully responsible for the war with Mongolia. His political power spread over tens of thousands of people along the Qianli Jiegou. Commander of the land.

Among them, there is of course the rise of Mongolia, and Daikin must unify its powers to deal with the impact.But since modern times, the powerful ministers who control the force have really never surpassed Wanyan Gang.

Compared with Wanyan Gang, Tu Danyi was just an out-of-date Confucian scholar, and he was not trusted by the emperor.Even if you count the power of the entire Tudan clan, they are powerless to fight back under Wanyan Gang's suppression. This year, there have been several disputes in the court, and Tudanyi has lost the old foundation of the clan's decades-long management in Zhongdu. Empty.

This is what everyone sees, and it cannot be faked.

Even the emperor himself felt that Tu Danyi's power was not enough to balance Wanyan Gang.That's why Xu Ding, the son of the former prime minister Xu Zhiguo and supported by his party members, was promoted in addition, trying to cultivate Xu Ding to stabilize the court.

Who would have thought that Wanyan Gang would die suddenly?
Death is an understatement, death is frivolous.

A marshal with hundreds of thousands of troops did not have a body wrapped in horse leather, but was betrayed by his own political allies and was killed by random knives at the gate of his mansion.There was no sign of such a major event before, and even his greatest political enemy, Tu Shanyi, only found out about it from other people.

Tu Dan Youcheng is of course innocent, and Tu Dan Youcheng's relative, Tu Dan Nanping, was also killed by that mad dog Hu Shahu!That mad dog simply catches and bites whomever, no one can guess what he wants to do!
Xu Ding looked at the sleepy and old Tu Danyi with a complicated look on his face.He wanted to ask a few questions, but he knew that Tu Danyi would not answer anything at all, and if he made him anxious, he would immediately doze off and show you.

Finally Xu Ding stood up, led several companions, and bowed respectfully to Tu Danyi.

"The current situation is very troublesome. We have to find a way to end it. We can't let the central capital stay in chaos! The Mongols are so vicious, so we have to quickly arrange people to resist! I don't know You Cheng, what's the best way? "

Tu Shanyi thought for a while, and said casually: "There are manpower! How can the Dajin Dynasty not have manpower?"

"What does You Cheng mean?"

Tu Danyi chuckled twice:

"San Anzhen, the commander of Gongwei Zhidu, can serve as the commander of the marshal Zuodu, the right check in front of the palace and the commander of the guards and the army."

"Shangshu Provincial Order History Mongolia Gang, you can know the affairs of Daxing Mansion together."

"Wan Yanbi, the defense envoy of Yunnei Prefecture, can serve as Marshal Youdu Supervisor, and he will be out of Zhending, and also the commander of the military and horse capital on the West Hebei Road."

"The governor of Ninghua Prefecture, Bilan Aludai, can serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei East Road."

"Shi Tianzhuo, Minister of the Ministry of Shangshu, can be appointed as Xuan sent soldiers and horses to control, Tongzhi Zhongshun Army Jiedu envoy, and travels 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 just happened to make them meritorious, and then use their prestige to rectify the situation. The military and government in various places... what do you think?"

Xu Ding had heard the names of these people more or less, and most of them were young and talented officials.However, if they were promoted step by step, even after another five or ten years, these people would not be able to reach the position that Tu Shanyi wanted.

It turns out that these people are the real henchmen of Tu Shanyi?It turned out that Hu Shahu was busy with this scene, but he was just paving the way for Tu Danyi?

Xu Ding looked at Tu Danyi's face which looked abnormally 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 making officials and making wishes. Rewarding his accomplices, what You Cheng thinks, how can it be easily realized?"

Tu Shanyi stroked his gray beard, and said casually: "Hu Shahu will definitely fail, so there is no need to worry about it."

Xu Ding's eyes froze.

Tu Danyi yawned.

The sky outside gradually brightened, and the sound of fighting gradually decreased.There is no doubt that Hu Shahu has gradually grasped the situation.But Tu Danyi said, Hu Shahu will definitely fail?

This old man is like a pool of deep water, seemingly clear and shallow, but no one can see how deep it is!
Xu Ding let out a deep breath.

"After Hu Shahu's failure, the emperor will make arrangements for the court affairs and local powers and responsibilities. Although Youcheng's ideas are good, His Majesty's thoughts have always been unpredictable, especially for Youcheng's suggestions, hehe, this is still a problem. You and I need to push it slowly, I'm afraid there is no rush..."

When he said this, Tu Danyi suddenly dozed off again.

Xu Ding smiled wryly twice, leaned forward and called softly: "You Cheng! You Cheng!"

Tu Danyi looked around blankly: "What's wrong? I fell asleep again? And, what did we talk about just now?"

"We are saying that even if Hu Shahu fails, the emperor after all..."

"Emperor?" Tu Danyi put on an inexplicable look: "Didn't the Emperor be killed by Hu Shahu?"

How can this matter?Is the old man Tudan confused?

Xu Ding was about to refute, but suddenly took two steps back, almost falling to the ground.Due to the sudden profusion of cold sweat on his forehead, his vision was blurred, and he couldn't see Tu Danyi's face clearly for a while, but only heard Tu Danyi calmly saying:
"Hu Shahu is extremely ferocious. After entering Zhongdu, he killed Wanyan Zuocheng first, and then His Majesty. This is what the ancients said, a thief who kills kings is what people want."

"……I see."

"In addition, Hezhi, during this trip, the number of soldiers and civilians killed in the central capital probably numbered in the tens of thousands. High-ranking officials were killed or injured in the thousands. This is a disaster that has never happened since the founding of Daijin. You are the Secretary of the Household Department , I have to find a way to calculate a reliable number, these are all Hu Shahu's crimes, and they will be useful in the future."
