Chapter 72: The Spectator (Part II)


Chapter 72: Bystanders "What?"

Tuohuan Timur stood up again, his eyes turning black.

"Which, who is named Zhu?

Where did you get the news from?

Please tell me more clearly."

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Pingzhang Political Minister Hama reacted very quickly.

He rushed over and grabbed Tuohuan Timur's arm tightly before he fell.

"Soldiers will block it, and water will cover it.

A small Anqing is insignificant."

After saying that, he turned back and glared at Pu Buhua fiercely, "You slave from Korea, why don't you explain clearly where you got the news from?"

"Yes, it's the Second Queen.

The Second Queen ordered her servants to organize the Korean people and go around to find out military information for Your Majesty."

Pu Buhua was startled and quickly knelt down to explain eagerly.

"My fellow servants are all loyal to Your Majesty.

When they learned about the fall of Anqing on the Yangtze River, they immediately tried every means to convey the news back as quickly as possible."

It turns out that His Majesty, outside of the machine speed bureau, asked the Second Queen to privately recruit a group of Goryeo fine craftsmen.

Hama secretly glanced at Tuohuan Timur, and then at the Imperial Censor, who had the same surprise on his face.

Timur first, the soles of his feet felt a little cold.

From beginning to end, he, a Pingzhang government official, had no idea about this matter.

Judging from the performance, I am afraid that Tuotuo's brother and the leader of another faction also heard about it for the first time.

Who said that His Majesty is fatuous and ignorant?

Who said that His Majesty is neglecting government affairs?

If he had been more diligent, as a minister, there would be no way to survive.

"You bitch slave, I asked you to find those Korean people who are doing business to spy on the Huaiyang rebels.

How come you even take care of Anqing's affairs?"

Tuohuan Timur's reaction was not slow, and he suppressed his dizziness.

Feeling dizzy, yelling loudly.

"Is there any specific tip on what day the incident happened?"

"Yes, yes, here, the slave has brought it."

Goryeo eunuch Pu Buhua immediately understood the smell, and couldn't wait to take out a secret report moistened with sweat from his pocket, holding it above his head with both hands, "Naiman Buhua Master Hua was killed in the Lujiang River five days ago, and then another red thief, Puppet Hezhou, appeared.

The general manager, the Zhu Thief Yuan Zhang, rushed to Anqing.

I realized my mistake.

I remembered your Majesty's original instructions and just went to deal with the Huaiyang Zhu Thief.

However, my people were all small traders and didn't know anything.

Your Majesty, in consideration of their loyalty to you, spares the slaves and them this time.”

After all, he is a man of genius.

His words not only made the urgent military situation clear.

And at the same time, he explained to the ministers on behalf of Tuhuan Timur.

The Goryeo craftsmen, headed by the second queen Qi Shi and Pu Buhua, were only temporarily recruited for Zhu Tutu.

I have no intention of paying attention to anything other than the Huaiyang area.

In the past year or so, batches of craftsmen sent by the imperial court to Huai'an and Yangzhou have disappeared one after another.

As for Butcher Zhu, he was far less polite to the missed prisoners than to the prisoners caught on the battlefield.

Either they were pushed directly outside the city and their heads were beaten with fire blunderbuss, or they were sent to kilns and mines to serve more than ten years of hard labor.

As a result, the entire machine speed department has long regarded sneaking into the Huaiyang area as a journey to death.

As long as there is a way, no one can avoid it.

Therefore, if Tuohuan Timur only deployed Korean spies to target Huaiyang, it would not harm the interests of any ministers.

Of course, even if there is harm, at this juncture, no blind person would dare to jump out and accuse Tuohuan Timur of inappropriate behavior in bypassing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Otherwise, Tuohuan Timur only needs to show his face and ask everyone why Naiman did not die in battle for so many days, but the court has not received any news yet.

All the ministers will also face unexplainable troubles.

No one who can climb to the first or second grade compound position is a fool.

Even Shi Ruzhongbai, the most upright and well-known imperial censor, did not take the initiative to speak directly after weighing the pros and cons.

Instead, he took a gentle breath and whispered to Tuohuan Timur: "Anqing is a throat on the water, connected to Jiangzhou and Wuchang at the top, and Taiping and Jiqing at the bottom.

In case of the Zhu Thief, Yuan Zhang, the Zhu Thief, stand firm Jiangxi and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are both in danger."

"Please be patient, I'm watching."

Tuohuan Timur, who had just ordered someone to take the secret report from Pu Buhua's hand, gave the censor Ru Zhongbai a white look and responded angrily.

Some nonsense is simply unnecessary to say.

The entire eastern part of Henan Jiangbei Province was controlled by Zhu Thief Chongjiu.

Another red thief is stuck in Anqing and can block the Yangtze River waterway at any time.

From now on, the imperial court will not send officials and soldiers to Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

If you want to know the news there, you will probably have to make a big detour from Shaanxi and Huguang provinces first, or send people to risk their lives by boating directly from the sea to Songjiang.

Either of these two routes would take at least half a month to go back and forth.

Even if a huge change occurs in Jiangnan, the day lily will be cold by the time the court intervenes.

"Your Majesty" Ru Zhongbai blushed deeply, slurred his lips and stepped aside.

Timur, the Minister of War who originally belonged to the same camp as him, did not bother to fight for his teammates.

He cupped his hands and suggested eagerly, "Your Majesty, although Zhu Thief Yuan Zhang is nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhu Thief Chongjiu, it is said that the policies carried out in his lair are very different from those in Huaiyang.

His influence on the world The gentleman's attitude is far more polite than that of the butcher Zhu Chongjiu."

"Well, what do you mean by this?"

Tuohuan Timur just read the secret report in full, took a gentle breath, and tried to regain his composure.

"The uncle and nephew of the king of Zhennan were defeated by the Zhu thief Chongjiu last winter, and his strength has not recovered yet."

Bie Timur, the minister of the Ministry of War, was quite discerning.

He first got rid of the suspicion of persuading the court to re-activate the uncle and nephew of the king of Zhennan. .

"Therefore, it is not easy for their uncles and nephews to save half of Luzhou, and they have no strength to stop the Zhu Thief Yuan Zhang.

But Tatulu and Timur's father and son are currently beyond their reach.

Therefore, at the moment, the imperial court has no control over the Zhu Thief.

Yuan Zhang is only suitable for outsmarting others, not for sending troops to conquer."

"Okay, keep talking."

Tuohuan Timur pushed away Hama who was supporting him, and slowly sat back on the dragon chair.

Timur's words were very tactful.

They not only pointed out the fact that the imperial army was currently stretched thin, but also eliminated the possibility of Zhennan Wang's uncle and nephew making a comeback.

He couldn't help but be impatient and pay attention to it.

"Since Zhu Thief Yuan Zhang is not willing to be controlled by Zhu Thief Chongjiu, and is willing to respect the scholar-bureaucrats, then why not send a highly respected civil servant to the imperial court to recruit him?

As the previous gentlemen said, no matter success or failure, If it doesn’t work, at least it will put a huge thorn between him and Butcher Zhu.”

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Tuohuan Timur nodded again.

Then he turned his attention to the other important civil and military ministers in the Imperial Study Room and asked, "What do you think, dear ministers?"

If he hadn't heard the news about Zhu Yuanzhang's invasion of Anqing, Hama would still have taken the lead and strongly opposed it.

But now the first one named Zhu has not yet been solved, and the second one named Zhu has already stood up.

He had to weigh the importance.

After frowning and thinking for a while, he responded cautiously, "I think what Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Zhebie said is right.

The court really doesn't have much energy to focus on Anqing at the moment.

And Anqing is adjacent to Xu Shouhui's lair, and the red thief Yuan Zhang If you can change your mind, you will become a great threat to both Zhu Chongba and the Southern red scarf monster."

"I second the proposal" It's rare that Hama didn't object to the advice of his own people, and the imperial censor also rushed to put the pieces in place before Timur.

"I second the proposal."

Although Yue Kuo Cha'er was very dissatisfied with Hama's behavior, she could not openly oppose those who belonged to the same camp.

Shrugging, he stepped forward to respond.

"I believe that, contrary to what the Lord has said, this is a mature strategy for the country."

The centrist Sang Ge thought for a while and made his third statement.

Everyone else either belongs to the Tuotuo faction or the Hama faction, and they are even less likely to speak out against it.

They all followed suit and agreed that the imperial court would use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to try to bribe Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Then trouble Han Qing to recruit Zhu Yuanzhang for me.

It's like buying horse bones with a thousand pounds, and making a show for other rebels."

Seeing that the courtiers rarely stopped fighting, Tuohuan Timur pointed at the central left prime minister Han Yuanshan He waved his hand and gave the order with a tired look on his face.

"I swear to live up to my command," Han Yuanshan immediately knelt down and responded loudly.

"Ai Qingpingsheng" Tuohuan Timur raised his arm towards him and forced a smile.

"Since Zhu Thief Yuan Zhang is pretending to be a courteous and virtuous corporal, even if he refuses to recruit, he probably won't embarrass Han Qing.

It's just Su Thief's side."

"I have a son named Zheng, who was favored by your majesty and became a Jinshi.

Now I am organizing Minzhuang to farm in Tongzhou.

If your majesty does not think he is vulgar, you can recall him first and clear the way for me to Yangzhou.

I want to use him as a farming envoy His identity will not elevate Su Thief and make him get carried away."

Han Yuanrang kowtowed hard and responded loudly.

"This, this, how can I let your father and son take risks at the same time?"

Tuohuan Timur was greatly moved and shook his head in opposition.

"Without Dayuan, there would be no wealth and honor for the minister and his son.

I have always felt ashamed that I could not repay His Majesty's kindness.

Now, I finally got the chance.

I and my son are willing to die for Your Majesty."

Han Yuan let his eyes fill with tears and confessed loudly.

If Tuohuan Timur refuses again, it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers.

So he thought for a while and gritted his teeth and agreed, "That's fine, I will give you and your son this opportunity.

No matter what the outcome of the mission is, as long as you and your son come back alive, I will definitely live up to your father and son's loyalty."

If he goes to Anqing as an envoy, he may be able to return safely as Timur analyzed.

The mission to Huaiyang was definitely a narrow escape.

Han Yuanshan, as a tablet Hanchen, could do so much for Dayuan.

Even though Hama, Yuekuochaer and other Mongolian and Semu ministers were very unhappy, they could not speak out their objections.

Immediately, the monarch, ministers and others decided on the details of the mission and the benefits that could be promised to Zhu Yuanzhang and Su Mingzhe.

Then he publicly issued a decree to praise Han Yuanshan and his son to enhance their performance.

Han Yuanshan naturally cried and thanked you for your kindness, and then left the palace to go home, packed his luggage, and prepared to set off.

His son Han Zheng was also sent by the imperial court with fast horses and light chariots to take him back to Dadu.

After the father and son met, there was another burst of rhetoric.

After all the carriages and officials sent by the court left the house, they followed each other to the study room, sitting opposite each other and weeping.

"My son, do you remember the rise of my ancestors of the Han family?"

After a while, Han Yuanshan suddenly wiped his face, stood up, and closed the doors and windows.

"My father said that the tenth great-grandfather of the Jin Dynasty, Duke Longyun" was a Jinshi after all.

Han Zheng immediately found the corresponding answer from the familiar family tree.

Although the Han family were Han officials of the Yuan Dynasty, they were out-and-out northerners.

His tenth-generation ancestor Han Longyun was Han Chang, the pioneer of the Liao Kingdom's southward march in history.

From the first year of Tonghe to the twentieth year of Tonghe, the Liao Kingdom made great achievements in six large-scale wars against the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he was given the surname Yelu and was granted the title of King of Jin.

His descendants have been prominent for hundreds of years.

After the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jurchens, the descendants of the Han family returned to their original surnames.

He became an official in Jin Dynasty and assisted Wanyan Zongbi in the invasion of Bianliang.

The Jurchens were destroyed by the Mongols, and the Han family entered the Yuan Dynasty.

With their unparalleled ability to adapt to the battlefield and officialdom, they gradually established a firm foothold in the Yuan Dynasty.

Although the sons and nephews of the Han family have been noble officials for decades, they do not hold any real power.

However, the land, salary and various benefits that should have been obtained were not lost at all.

Now that it was time to report back to the court, how could Han Yuanshan forget his ancestors' instructions and reluctantly sighed at his son and whispered, "It's my son.

Don't blame me for being cruel to your father.

I tore your wife apart." .

In fact, our Han family has relied on this to continue its prosperity and prosperity for hundreds of years."

"Father, don't worry.

My son is going to Huaiyang as an envoy and will sacrifice his life to serve the imperial court.

In exchange for the glory of the Han family in the future," Han Zheng had already thought clearly about the cause and effect on the carriage coming back.

He forced a smile at his father and whispered relief.

Unexpectedly, Zhongshu Youcheng Han Yuanshan was in a hurry.

He walked to the door, glanced outside quickly, then closed the door tightly, returned to his son, and scolded in a low voice, "Nonsense, as a father, I ask you to think about what your ancestors did.

How can I ask you to go and die?"

I took this job in front of His Majesty today, not because I think I and you have lived too long.

My Han family, it's time to make a choice.

Back then, His Highness the King of Jin saw that the fortunes of the Liao Dynasty were on the rise, and the Song Dynasty was in a state of decline after the Battle of Gaoliang River, so he sacrificed his life to serve the Liao Kingdom.

But now, that Zhu Butcher is fighting.

Sheng, already showing signs of becoming a hegemon, how could my father and son do that thing of mantis trying to act like a chariot?"

"Father," he didn't expect such a big turn of events.

Han Zheng was stunned for a moment, his face full of astonishment.

"You idiot."

Zhongshu Youcheng Han Yuanshan shook his head angrily, "You have read so many books in vain, and you are so stupid.

My father asked you to go to Huaiyang, not to die, but to look for opportunities and join Mr.

Zhu." .

After you meet Su Changshi, just drag out the imperial court's plot, and they will no longer be able to treat you as an envoy of the imperial court.

After my father arrived at Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he tried his best to persuade him to be loyal to the court and try his best to keep your brother with him.

Regardless of whether he agreed or not, we, father and son, will never have any contact with each other from now on.

When the country is reset, naturally, one branch will rise again, so that the wealth and prosperity of my Han family will continue from generation to generation
