Chapter 137 Falling (Part [-])
Chongxuanzi was ordered to go, and just as he took a step, he heard someone shouting, "Wait a minute!"

It was Xu Ding who spoke.

Chongxuanzi knew that this person was an important ally of Tu Shanyi, seeing him suddenly stop him, he dared not move.

Xu Ding lightly swung his robe sleeves, stood next to Tu Danyi, and lowered his voice: "My lord, why is this necessary?"

"And, I don't understand what you mean."

Xu Ding glanced at the surrounding people with an uneasy expression, and continued after they got the idea, "In the past few years, whenever these inner clan kings intervene in the affairs of the court, which time has it not been a mess? My lord, Finally, this time, we can decide on our own, so why involve them?"

"..."

I lost my mind!Trouble is coming!
Tu Shanyi suddenly woke up and was speechless for a while.

Of course he understood Xu Ding's intentions.Xu Ding represents a group of competent Han officials who were promoted during the reign of Xu Chiguo, and Emperor Zhangzong ascended the throne as the grandson of the emperor. The huge power of those emperors and uncles.

During the Mingchang period, Zheng Wang Wanyan Yongbao and Ho Wang Wanyan Yongzhong were involved in the conspiracy case successively, and then Zong Wang committed suicide, his relatives and subordinates were killed, and many officials who were attached to the two kings were demoted and dismissed.

Later, Emperor Sejong's sons were expelled from the capital one by one. For example, Yue Wang Yonggong was expelled from the Pingyang Mansion, Yu King Yongcheng was sentenced to Zhending Mansion, Kui Wang Yongsheng was appointed as the military governor of Dingwu Army, and the emperor who had just died, At that time, Wei Wang Yongji was removed as the Anwu Army Jiedushi.

In conjunction with it, there are many restrictions and preventive measures. For example, it is strictly forbidden for King Zong to go hunting for more than five days, and it is strictly forbidden for kings to leave the territory under their jurisdiction. I must not intervene.

These things were all promoted by Emperor Zhangzong himself, and it was the Xu Chiguo Party who implemented and implemented them.

To a certain extent, the faction of Han'er practical officials represented by Xu Chiguo climbed to the imperial court step by step by stepping on the bones of the inner clan clan king faction.There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

It's just that after the power of the Zong kings was hit by Emperor Zhang Zong, they never recovered.However, Xu Zhiguo failed in the subsequent political struggle, and only a small part of his power remained around Xu Ding.Both families were weak and weak, so they stopped for the time being.

So even though Xu Ding was dissatisfied with Wanyan Yongji, he never thought of bringing in the power of the inner clan kings in Zhongdu.In his eyes, only King Sheng is a suitable candidate for the next emperor.

King Sheng has always kept a low profile. He has served as Jiedushi of Yongding and Zhangde Army for more than ten years, and there are very few party members in Zhongdu.When he is the emperor, the important ministers can act freely without being restrained.If King Yue, King Kui, and King Huo were allowed to participate, and even choose an emperor among them... God knows what will happen to the court?
You, Mr. Tudan, are a noble Jurchen, who spoke for the kings in the court and made a good relationship, so you naturally feel that you can mediate between them.

But I, Xu Ding, and those Zongwangs are old enemies!

Well, when I was honestly the Minister of the Household Department, the influence of the clan king was just that; now that I have seized the opportunity of a coup d'état, I am about to bring my father's old subordinates into a frenzy, Sharing the political power of the court equally with you, Tu Shan Youcheng... But you have a whim, want to promote the power of the Zongwang?
Then I was busy yesterday, what was I planning?
Is your political commitment to me, Boss Duan, true or false?

Could it be that the bridge is about to be demolished before the river crosses it?Don't you feel too anxious?
"Zhiyuan, wait a minute."

After hearing this, Chongxuanzi hurriedly stood behind Tu Danyi.

Tu Danyi forced a smile, and said to Xu Ding: "What Shengzhi said makes sense, let me think about it."

Xu Ding nodded slightly, and walked towards his party members.

What Xu Ding could think of, of course Tu Danyi also wanted to. He and Wan Yangang had both taken a fancy to Shengwang that day and intended to replace the emperor with Shengwang, because Shengwang had few followers and was easy to manipulate.

At this time, he intends to bring other Zongwangs to end, but he actually does it to show Guo Ning and Shengwang, to threaten them and let them know that Tu Danyi is not the only choice.

In the past few decades, Tu Shanyi has been able to survive in the court because of such tricky tactics.In the past day and night, the court was overthrown in one breath, and it was by this method.

The problem is, Xu Ding doesn't know.

He didn't understand that Tu Danyi was using means to threaten Guo Ning, and Tu Danyi couldn't explain it to Xu Ding.

how to explain?

Tell Xu Ding directly, I'm sorry, but the knife in my hand is a bit disobedient when I saw the meat cutting?

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 and China believe that Tu Danyi not only has the influence in the court and the means to manipulate the coup, but also has a capable force.

So even if Shu Hu Gao Qi led his troops back to the city suddenly, everyone didn't panic.It was because this force defeated Hu Shahu's troops in one fell swoop, which proved their strength, and made Xu Ding, Pu San Anzhen and others deeply believe in Shan Yi's strength.

But Tu Shanyi had always confidently believed that the chaos during the coup d'état was only temporary, and that after he unified the power of the court and the central capital, he would be able to subdue all unstable factors and forcibly lead the Dajin Kingdom 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, and watched Hu Shahu kill the emperor, and wiped out Wanyan Gang's forces.Since then, Daikin's hearts have been torn apart.How could anyone follow Tu Danyi wholeheartedly to do thankless things?

Hu Shahu is a wolf, while Guo Ning is a vicious tiger.

For a single ferocious beast, Dan Yi has plenty of ways to suppress it.However, after the big drama last night, all the forces in Zhongdu City, those characters who were pretending to be human, have all turned into wolves now.

This is very difficult to deal with.

At this moment, everyone is spreading their strength on the table because a large number of people eating meat around the table have died, and the new diners are all salivating, with their white teeth shining, waiting to be cut and eaten!
Originally, the emperor and Wanyan Gang were in control of the court, but Shan Yi retreated step by step, but maintained a detached attitude.But once he enters the arena, he will fall into this situation that affects the whole body.

Like everyone else, he has become a wolf waiting for the meat at the table.

At this time, if Tu Danyi said that the knife that stuck in the flesh was not mine...

Then, I'm afraid there is a problem: Since you don't have a knife in your hand, why should you preside over the meat-cutting ceremony?
That knife looks pretty good, who uses it, doesn't it?
Some things, before they are done, no one dares to think about them; now that they have been done, many people find that they are just like that.The emperor has already been kicked out, the Shangshu Zuocheng has been kicked out, the right deputy marshal has been kicked out, is it difficult to kick out another Shangshu Youcheng?

In other words, who actually controls the knife?Kick away a few predators and let him cut a piece of meat, why not?

Tu Shanyi felt that he had suddenly stepped into a dilemma.

Immediately he was terrified and startled again, which was hard 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 dealing with political affairs in the future; moreover, because the group of people represented by Xu Ding had no force to support them, and at the moment they were in the capital of Zhongdu. The weakest group of people in the world.

Xu Ding himself knew this very well!
But how could he have the guts to talk to me like this?

How could these men have the guts to openly prevent the Jurchens' clan kings from entering the game?

In the past few months, Tu Shanyi has been planning major events step by step. In the past two days, he has devoted all his energy and effort to balancing the complicated situation in Zhongdu.At this time, the major event should have been settled, but there was a sudden setback, which really gave him a headache.

He got up from his shoulders, looked carefully at the people around Xu Ding, and then looked around at the people in front of Xuanhua Gate.After all, as I get older, my energy really declines badly, and my eyesight really doesn't work.When he saw the direction of Guo Ning, he only felt his vision was blurred.

"Zhiyuan! Look, who is standing behind Guo Ning?"

Chongxuanzi could see it clearly, it was a middle-aged scholar, he was a good partner and old friend of Chongxuanzi who had been researching algebra together in Zhongdu, and he was also one of the people who worked under him when Xu Chiguo was in power.

He noticed that when Xu Ding turned back to his party members, the middle-aged scholar saluted respectfully.

And Xu Ding stroked his beard under his chin, looked at the scholar with a complicated expression, and nodded slightly.

Chong Xuanzi could only sigh.Tu Danyi was also very familiar with this scholar. That day, Tu Danyi made up his mind to replace the emperor, which may have been influenced by the scholar's crazy ravings 20 years ago.

"That's Du Shisheng. You Cheng, this person has already contacted Xu Ding at some point."

Tu Shanyi patted his forehead hard: "I was negligent!"

Du Shisheng is now an important subordinate of Guo Ning.If Xu Ding and Guo Ning are linked together through the bond of Du Shisheng, then Tu Danyi's status will be shaken immediately. If the two parties work together to support the signboard of King Sheng...

Tu Danyi's heart beat violently several times.

He suddenly felt a little sad.Du Shisheng, a lunatic, has a chance to make his mark.What about Chucai, who can be moved?Yila Chucai is the son of Tu Shanyi's old friend. Tu Shanyi placed great hope and trust in him, so he let him represent himself to contain the evil tiger Guo Ning.

However, what did Yichai Chucai do and what role did he play by Guo Ning's side?Where is he now?
Perhaps, some things, some people, have deviated from expectations from the very beginning, but Tu Shanyi didn't notice it before.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd suddenly started to tremble, as if a wind had blown by, making the originally silent vegetation whirr.Some people who were particularly close to Xuanhuamen even staggered and fell, and then backed up on hands and feet.

Because Guo Ning, who had been sitting under Xuanhua's gate to rest, suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Jinzhi, you have to hurry up and count all the weapons, armor, food, grass and horses. We should stay here for one night at Xuanhua Gate. We should tidy up what should belong to us, and there is no need to leave it to others."

"Obey." Du Shisheng bowed his head deeply, extremely respectful.

"These people in front of me are all courageous and gangsters! I don't know how long I will wait until I wait? Let me say a few words!"

Guo Ning stretched himself, put away the iron bone, sheathed the golden knife, and stepped forward.
