Emperor Zhizheng on the dragon chair frowned, thousands of thoughts lingered in his heart, self-detachment resignation, four years of appointment of Arutu and Bei'er cowardice as the prime minister, although they are loyal to themselves, not a traitor, but the ability to govern the country is not as good as a twenties.

When he was in office, he was able to reinstate the imperial examination, encouraged agriculture, rectified the rule of officials, recruited hermitage, exempted taxes, opened the horse ban, reduced the amount of salt, compiled the three histories of Liao, Song and Jin, and implemented Confucian governance.

After Ke Toh left Beijing, most of the old ministers in the court only cared about the interests of their families, and they didn't even know a few Chinese characters, which was really different from the diligent and capable Tokhtar.

He endured the burden to regain the imperial power, only seeking to revitalize the Great Yuan, but the frequent natural disasters in the past few years made the fruits of his efforts go to waste in an instant, and the follow-up problems caused by natural disasters are countless!

Unconsciously, the return of Tokhtar has become the last glimmer of hope for Emperor Zhizheng, but despite this, he must also hold on to the power in his hands, and ensure that this Tokhtar can only be a loyal and obedient courtier, and must not monopolize power and become the next Boyan!

Entering the hall, he took off his white clothes and won the snow, and the wind and frost he experienced in the past four years were engraved on his face with pride, and his profound knowledge of reading a lot of books made him have a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes, and he had no resemblance to ordinary Mongolian nobles.

Under the eyes of the monarch and the minister, the heaven and the earth seemed to be nothing, only an indescribable complex feeling was hidden in the eyes, which was worth a thousand words......

"Minister, knock to the saint!"

"Give a seat." Emperor Zhizheng's voice was extremely deep.

Hama immediately brought a delicate carved round stool from the side and put it beside Toto.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tokhtar thanked him, carefully sat on the front half of the round stool, and returned to this Daming Palace, Totokh's heart was inevitably a little cramped and uneasy.

"When you left me suddenly, I didn't expect this parting to be four years long." Emperor Zhizheng's tone was tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction, and four years ago, Tokhtar suddenly resigned from illness and caught the entire court off guard.

Totoku was prepared in his heart, and replied unhurriedly: "Although the minister left Beijing due to illness, he did not miss His Majesty for a moment, and as soon as Fang Da recovered from his illness, he immediately rushed back to Dadu, hoping to share his worries for His Majesty. ”

Emperor Zhizheng nodded, he still recognized the loyalty of Totok, and then said lightly: "In the past four years, a lot of things have happened in the court, and you must know it." ”

After a moment of thought, he knew that the emperor was referring to the demotion of his father Mazartai from Beijing and the cowardice of today's resignation, so he replied: "The minister only hates himself for being incompetent, and he suddenly fell ill at the most difficult time of the court, so that he could not be loyal to His Majesty, and the minister is ashamed of His Majesty!" As he spoke, he burst into tears and began to cry.

Emperor Zhizheng was able to get rid of the ministers, so when he saw this loyal courtier whimpering and crying, he was also a little sad in his heart.

Emperor Zhizheng comforted softly: "I know your loyalty, don't be sad, only when your condition improves, can you continue to stay in the court to share my worries." ”

The two monarchs and ministers exchanged pleasantries for a while, and it was only until Emperor Zheng that he introduced the topic.

"The eldest son of the emperor is getting older, I have the heart to let him learn more about the cultures of various ethnic groups, you are full of wealth, and you are his grandmother, it is better for you to be in charge of the affairs of Duanbentang for the time being." After that, he squinted his eyes slightly and stared at Toto, wanting to see if he would be dissatisfied.

"Thank Your Majesty for your love, and the minister will definitely teach what he has learned and devote himself to the affairs of Duanbentang."

Emperor Zhizheng gladly accepted it when he saw Toto, and his answer was also decent and impeccable, and he did not show dissatisfaction, so he nodded with satisfaction and praised loudly: "Sure enough, you still know how to share my worries!" I heard that your son Harazhang has a good relationship with the emperor's eldest son, so call him as a companion, but at the same time, you can study with the emperor's eldest son in Duanbentang. ”

Tokhtar immediately got up from the round stool and bowed respectfully to thanksgiving, "Your Majesty is so gracious, how dare Tokhtar and Harazhang accept it?" ”

Emperor Zhizheng smiled meaningfully when he heard this, and replied: "You have been away from Beijing for many years, and you have become much more estranged from me, but I miss the time when I fought side by side with you day and night. ”

Totoku was shocked in his heart, the emperor's words were secretly warning him not to be arrogant, not to forget the fate of Boyan back then, and hurriedly said: "The minister is afraid, how dare the minister stand side by side with Your Majesty?" ”

Emperor Zhizheng raised the corners of his mouth, "In this case, my will will will not be acceptable to you or not." ”

"The minister is guilty, and the minister is thanking God for his grace! From tomorrow onwards, he will be asked to serve the eldest son of the emperor day and night, and he will not leave for a moment! Totoku kowtowed heavily as he spoke.

It wasn't until the head of the detachment was red that Emperor Zhizheng gave up, glanced at Hama and said: "Hama, Taifu has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is not appropriate to kneel on the ground for a long time, so help him up quickly." ”

Ha Ma was stunned for a moment, the cold sweat on his face immediately flowed, how could the Emperor of the Heart Dao be like a changed person today, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately walked quickly to Toto's side and said, "Taifu, the Holy One asked you to get up and take a seat." ”

Only then did Tokhtar stop kowtowing and stood up with the help of Hama. There was already a lot of blood running down his forehead on his face.

Emperor Zhizheng looked at Toto, and said in a cold voice: "Remember, you will receive the emperor's favor that I let you receive, you will receive the sin I want you to receive, and if I want you to get up, you will get up immediately!" This time you get up with the help of Hama, and next time you may not have such good luck. ”

Tokhoff was already embarrassed at this time, and he was no longer the heroic appearance when he entered the hall, and the cold sweat on his face couldn't stop flowing down.

As a minister of the Pillar Kingdom, how could Tokhtar not understand the meaning of Emperor Zhizheng's series of actions?

The gift of the throne means that I gave you the position of prime minister at the beginning, and treated you as a meritorious minister.

Asking for guilt means that I know why you suddenly resigned from office, and blamed you for failing the Sacred Heart.

Supporting me means that I will give you another chance today, and I will throw myself to the ground with my five bodies.

You have great merit, you are still a minister, even if I have great mistakes, I am still a king.

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die!

He stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" But it was already clear in his heart that the emperor on the dragon chair at this time was no longer the weak king who was only willing to promise and looked forward to the future.

After fifteen years of reign, the emperor who ascended to the throne of the Great Treasure finally understood the art of the emperor and became a loner. Whether it is Tokhtar or the imperial court, it is just a chess piece in his hand, and no one knows what kind of good show he wants to stage on the chessboard of heaven and earth......

A muffled thunder exploded outside the Daming Palace, and the heavy rain poured down one after another, as if to wash away all the past humiliating experiences for the Son of Heaven in the hall, wash away the historical dust of Dayuan, and strive to open a new curtain for the world.
