Chapter 416: Dismissal
Su Sheng knew that the success of this move was on him, so after he broke away from Beijing, he began to instigate Hama to take action against the Tokhtar party.
Hama, who was in power, also thought that the time had come, so he ordered the bribed superintendent Yuan Saiyin and others to impeach the Tokh brothers, and said: "The Tokh Tak out of the division was a little useless in March, and poured the country's wealth for his own use, and the officials of the half court thought that he was self-serving." And his younger brother also first Timur was a mediocre material, defiled the Qing Taiwan, did not cultivate the discipline of the government, and the habit of greed and prostitution benefited. ”
After Tokhtar took over power in Beijing, Mo said that Yuan Saiyin did not spend such a supervision of the imperial history, and even Hama and others did not dare to act rashly, so that Emperor Zhizheng heard for the first time that a courtier had a note of impeachment.
Yuan Saiyin's words about impeaching Tokhtar were all secretly taught by Hama, and the whole article pointed out that Tokhtar used the trust of Emperor Zhizheng to use his power for personal gain, and Timur caused a big defeat before that is the best ironclad evidence.
None of the grounds for these impeachments did not poke at the scales of Emperor Zhizheng, and when Emperor Zhizheng called Hama to inquire, Hama wept bitterly and knelt down, tearfully pointing out that Tokhtar was likely to intend to rebel.
When Timur heard this, he was furious, and he was already afraid that Tokhtar would become the second boyan, and he immediately ordered that Timur, Ruzhongbai and others be placed under house arrest in the palace, and their powers were dismissed, and then an edict was issued to seize Tokhtar's military power.
In order to prevent Tokh from handing over the military power, Emperor Zhizheng sent Hama's own brother, Xue Xue, the Privy Council, to personally bring the edict to him, and sent a secret letter to the Zuo Prime Minister of Henan Province, ordering him to cooperate with Xue Xue and Yue Kuochaer, the political affairs of Zhongshu Pingzhang.
In early December of the fourteenth year of Zheng, Xue Xue, who galloped all the way, rushed to the army with this edict of the emperor who was dismissed from his post and exiled.
When he heard that Xue Xue came in person, he thought that Emperor Zhizheng had given him some reward, so he personally took Tai Buhua, Yue Kuo Cha'er, Gong Bosui and others to greet him outside the camp, and after seeing the cold expression on Xue Xue's face, everyone realized that things were not so simple.
As soon as Xue Xue turned over and dismounted, she untied the yellow cloth bag she was carrying, took out the holy decree of Emperor Zhizheng, and shouted at the detachment: "The imperial decree has arrived!" The sinner is out of order! ”
When the officials heard this, they looked at each other, and no one knelt down for a while.
Xue Xue glared angrily: "Do you want to rebel?" Don't kneel down to accept the order yet! ”
As soon as these words came out, Tokto's heart suddenly sank, and after laughing bitterly, he was ready to kneel down and accept the order.
"Wait!"
After getting rid of it, the senator Gong Bo suddenly stopped Xue Xue, and then walked to the side of the detachment and suggested with a solemn face: "Prime Minister, there must be something strange about this matter, not to mention that the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." And when the prime minister came out of the school, he tasted His Majesty's secret decree to beg the thief, and now he is bent on asking for it. Don't open the edict, and if you open it, you will have to do a big thing. ”
Xue Xue was furious when she heard this: "Gong Bossui, you are instigating Totok to rebel!" Someone, take him down for me! ”
But after all, he is still the prime minister of the dynasty under one person and above 10,000 people, and the military power is still in his hands, how can half of Xue Xue's words be willing to listen?
Gong Bo then gave an order, and several guards went over to snatch the edict from Xue Xue's hand.
Xue Xue gradually changed from anger to fear, and asked, "Yue Kuo Cha'er! Too not to spend! Are you so indifferent? Will you rebel with them? ”
Yue Kuo Cha'er and Tai Buhua turned a deaf ear to Xue Xue, but instead looked at Toto, wanting to see what Totoku meant.
Gong Bo then pinched the edict in his hand, knelt down and said with tears in his eyes before he got out: "Prime Minister, after you left Beijing, the authority fell on Hama, and now it is his brother Xue Xue who is ordered to come, you will not think about the strangeness of this." You also said that this time, you must wipe out all the anti-thieves everywhere, otherwise my Dayuan is in danger! After we have purged these rebels, how can the Holy One not forgive you for your painstaking efforts? Don't be disheartened at this time and abandon millions of soldiers! ”
Tokhtar laughed miserably: "I don't know what you said? But the Son of Heaven edicted me and I didn't obey, that is, to fight against the world, what is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister? What is the difference between me and Boyan and Yan Timur and others? ”
After saying that, he snatched the edict from Gong Bosui's hand, respectfully sent it back to Xue Xue's hands, and then knelt down with his whole crown and clothes: "Minister, take the order!" ”
Yue Kuo Cha'er and Tai Buhua glanced at each other, and they were all relieved in their hearts, if they didn't obey the order, the two of them really didn't know how to deal with themselves.
Although Gong Bosui's words have some truth, once he gets rid of his disobedience, even if he doesn't have the heart to rebel, it becomes a rebellion, and the relatives and families of hundreds of officers in the army are all in the capital, who will be willing to do this disloyal thing with him?
Xue Xue snorted coldly, and then read out the will of the Son of Heaven, after he read the will of dismissal, the whole army was in an uproar, no one would have thought that the emperor would suddenly issue such a will, and the military power of the removal of the emperor would be counted, and he would be dismissed on the spot!
In the midst of the chaos, Xue Xue took out the secret letter and handed it to Tai Buhua and Yue Kuo Cha'er: "I know that the two of you are both Tokhtar's henchmen, but don't forget that even Tokhtar is also a saint's courtier, this letter is written by the saint himself, and I don't think I need to teach the two adults how to do it." ”
After reading it, he sighed, knowing that the emperor had been bewitched by Hama and others, and completely no longer trusted Tokto.
The words on this edict were like a spear and a dark arrow that shot through his heart one by one, but he didn't expect that he had been walking on thin ice for more than ten years, and finally fell into such a fate......
I really succeed and fail, I regret that I shouldn't have trusted him at the beginning, I should have thought of it a long time ago, since such a minister can help him bring down others, he will one day be able to help others harm himself......
The will is very clear, the prime minister will be demoted to the common people, confiscated the family property, and placed him on Huai'an Road to observe the after-effects, and the military power will be led by Taibuhua, Yuekuochaer, and Xuexue.
Tai Buhua was grateful for the grace of his acquaintance, walked up to him and said: "The prime minister's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and after returning to Beijing, he will definitely wash away your grievances, and I will also send elite guards to protect your safety on the way to Huai'an." ”
Tokhtar smiled sadly: "The army will be handed over to you, and you must wipe out all the thieves." ”
Xue Xue was unhappy when she saw this scene, and remembered Gong Bo's behavior of contradicting her, and immediately called the officer to arrest him.
Seeing this, the deputy envoy of the guest province replied: "The prime minister's trip, my generation will die at the hands of traitors, it is better to die in front of the prime minister today!" Then he drew his sword and killed himself in front of Tokhtar.
