Chapter 274: The Emperor's Nightmare
"Oops! Am I going to die here today? β
Gong Buban didn't need to look back to realize what was happening behind him, his hair stood upside down for a while, and his body was full of goosebumps.
His fear and remorse were interrupted by a sonorous sound behind him, Xu Xianling's sword failed to cut Gong Buban's body after all, and one of the guards was quick and used his spear to block the fatal blow.
"I'm fighting with you!"
Xu Xianling, who was born as a scholar, no longer had any worries, and wanted to continue wielding his sword after failing to strike, but how could the Yuan Bing who reacted give him such a good opportunity?
In an instant, several spears and ring knives stabbed into his body, mercilessly lifting him into the air.
The hot blood that splattered out of it sprayed onto the back of Gong Buban's neck, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to turn back after a while.
I saw that Xu Xianling, who was dead, was also dead, and a pair of eyes were staring at him with anger.
"General, are you alright?" The two guards were also frightened, and if Gong Buban made any mistakes, they were afraid that they would also lose their heads.
Gong Buban came back to his senses, wiped the sweat on his head, looked at the two dead corpses and said with palpitations: "These two people are so vicious, they must be the leaders of the red turban thieves, cut off their heads and take them back, and the rest of them will be killed!" β
"Yes!" A group of partial generals ordered them to go down, and immediately killed the dozens of captured Red Turban soldiers.
Gong Buban took a breath before turning over his horse and returning to the camp in victory, thinking about how to report his exploits to the imperial court.
"I almost lost my life accidentally this time, and I can't risk my life in the future, so it's better to leave these fights and killings to my subordinates." He admonished himself in his heart.
The battle of Shangcai was terrible, and the smell of blood in the air could not be dissipated for a long time, and only some Yuan soldiers stayed behind to clean up the corpses.
On the other hand, in the palace of Dadu, Emperor Zhizheng Tuo Timur was sleeping soundly in the side hall.
He was having a nightmare, a nightmare that had haunted him for years.
It was a beautiful day, and a grand and grand banquet was being held in the Daming Palace.
Shortly after his accession to the throne, he stood on the throne, dressed in a red grandson robe, with gold thread and woven folds around his waist, jewels hanging on his shoulders, and a red and gold jacket warm hat, which satisfied his imagination of all the luxuries of royal life.
The time has come, under the signal of the Yifeng Musician, a group of musicians in the Yunhe Department under his jurisdiction sang and played, and the beauties of the teaching workshop dressed up in a splendid flower crown and danced......
After the song and dance, the emperor did not sit down, and all the ministers also stood beside the seats, as if waiting for something.
Such a strange scene lasted for about half a burnt incense time, and suddenly a eunuch's voice came from outside the hall: "Answer, it's rare!" β
Hearing this voice, Baiguan was suddenly silent, and even Tuo Timur swallowed nervously.
Immediately afterwards a man walked with his head held high and strode towards the outside of the hall.
This person wore a crown of seven treasures on his head, wore a set of furry sun clothes, stepped on gold silk camel boots, and hung more jewels on his shoulders than the emperor in the palace.
When he arrived in the center of the hall, this person bowed to the emperor standing in the hall, and said loudly: "There are many trivial matters to be dealt with in the court, which has caused Boyan to miss the time, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." β
The ministers in the palace all gasped when they heard this, and they said in their hearts, this Boyan had dared to be so presumptuous!
However, Timur seemed to be accustomed to it, and replied with a smile: "Answer: "Arakhan is not in state affairs, and he has worked hard, so there is no need to be polite, please take a seat!" β
"Answerahan" is a very lofty title of Meng Yuan, which means the free and ungoverned person, and being able to get such a title naturally means that this person has monstrous power.
This Tarakhan is none other than Tokhtar's uncle, his father's brother Boyan!
After Boyan took the first seat, the emperor sat down, and the ministers dared to sit down, and the banquet of the grandson in the palace, which symbolizes the imperial power, is like Boyan's family banquet!
Boyan was originally the life of Wenzong and Ningzong, but he was always suppressed by the powerful minister Yan Timur.
Later, the powerful Yan Timur died due to excessive indulgence, and Boyan then supported the Toyo Timur to ascend the throne of God, and with this merit, he was awarded the title of the right prime minister of the Zhongshu, Shangzhu State, and Da Lahan.
Although Yan Timur died, his family still intended to control the government, and Timur appointed his younger brother Satun as the prime minister of Zuo, his son Tang Qishi as the imperial historian, and his daughter Boya Wu as the empress.
Seeing that Boyan was becoming more and more dominant and had the intention of replacing their family's position, Yan Timur's party plotted a coup d'Γ©tat.
Imperial historian Tang Qishi and others planned for a long time, but in the end, they were completely denounced by King Tan and told Boyan their true intentions and movements.
In a fit of rage, Boyan summoned soldiers and horses to directly hunt and kill Tang Qishi and others, and the queen Boyawu was also convicted of harboring by Boyan, and after being banished from the palace, he was forced to drink poisoned wine and died.
In order to please Boyan, he could only re-seal it, and appointed him as the right prime minister of the middle book, and the left prime minister did not say anything, and gave him the title of "Arakhan", and his descendants were hereditary.
Since then, all the major affairs of the court have been decided by Boyan, and the military and politics are in his own hands, which is why he dares to be so authoritarian.
After Boyan was in power and in the opposition, he politically implemented the policy of national oppression of "excluding Han", and even abolished the imperial examination system.
Tuo Timur had the intention to make great efforts to govern the country, and changed the name of the era to "Zhiyuan" in the name of "Zushu Shizu", trying to reproduce the prosperous era of Kublai Khan, but he could not issue his own decree because he had no power in his hands.
The banquet lasted for a long time, but Timur spent more than half of his time observing Boyan's face.
Boyan frowned slightly, and Tuo Timur hurriedly instructed the eunuch to change the repertoire and change the song and dance until Boyan was satisfied.
It wasn't until Boyan filled his stomach with wine and got drunk that the banquet was nearing the end.
"Arakhan is drunk, I will send someone to take you home, right?" Tuo Timur looked at Boyan and dozed off, leaned out and asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Boyan suddenly opened his eyes and let out an angry roar: "Who dares? β
This frightened the ministers and the emperor in the audience, and Tuo Timur said cautiously: "Answer, you are drunk. β
"I didn't say I was drunk, how dare you say I was drunk?" Boyan suddenly became drunk, stood up and pointed at Tuo Timur and asked.
"Ahh Emperor Zhizheng, who was asleep, suddenly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat, "Someone! Come on! β
