Tokh thought that this statement was reasonable, the military household system of this dynasty had long been unrecognizable at this time, and he had the intention to rectify but had no choice but to withdraw his hand, but he did not expect that this time he would suffer a big loss.

"Since you expected this defeat, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Ru Zhongbai smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister, don't blame your subordinates, how can your subordinates be stupid and stupid about things that you can't even expect?" His Majesty only knows that the late defeat of the war situation in Henan is better than the early defeat, and the rebellion of the red turban thieves is just a disaster caused by the control of the river and the change of money, if you can rectify the military households, generals, and vassal kings of the whole country in one fell swoop, it will be an excellent good thing for you, for the imperial court, and for the saints today. ”

Hearing this, his heart moved, Ru Zhongbai was right, if he wanted to be the right prime minister of the Zhongshu under one person in the Great Yuan Dynasty, then these problems need to be solved by himself, and this time he will lose first, and it will not be a good opportunity to do it.

"So what should I do first? Isn't it possible to make my unsuccessful brother a victim? I'm just his own brother! ”

Ru Zhongbai shook his head: "Prime Minister, whether it is the civil and military officials in the court, or the current saint, in their eyes, it is not the marshal who caused this defeat, but you. Whether or not the marshal will be condemned by the Holy Lord, and what kind of crime he will be condemned, depends on your attitude. ”

Tokhtar sighed again: "Once I do my best to help him get back to the world, although it is possible that the Holy Lord will not condemn him for the sake of my face, he will inevitably be disappointed in my heart, so I don't know what to do for a while." ”

Ru Zhongbai came to the front of the case this time and said: "Since exculpation is also blame, and not exculpation is also blame, then why do you bother to explain?" Defeat is defeat, and someone will have to bear the consequences after all. At best, this war is the failure of the first marshal, to be practical, it is the failure of your son, and then to the big one, it is the failure of the Great Yuan Court, and even the failure of today's commander. The last time he and the bald and red were carelessly defeated, a Han official could be blamed, but this time the generals sent are not the descendants of the founding fathers of our dynasty, and severely punishing any one of them is tantamount to cutting off his arm, do you say yes or no? ”

Tokhtar nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Then in your opinion, what should I do about this?" How can I answer the question when I meet the Holy One so that I can save Yesen's life? ”

Ru Zhongbai did not answer the question of Tokhtar directly, but asked for no reason: "Your Majesty is not wrong, I am afraid that you have been thinking about how to remove the saint's wariness of you these days, right?" ”

Detached from the heart, Ru Zhongbai is really a roundworm in my stomach, and he is the only one who can see my mind every time there are so many staff members in the house.

"Yes, if the monarch and the ministers can't be single-minded, the political affairs can't be clear, and I am indeed worried."

Ru Zhongbai's eyes narrowed, his attitude suddenly became solemn, and he said quite imposingly: "Your Majesty is bold, please ask the Prime Minister to personally ask the Holy Lord for his guilt, take all the responsibility for this defeat on himself, and ask to resign from the field!" ”

When he heard this, he was so angry that he picked up the teacup and threw it at Ru Zhongbai, but after thinking about it, Ru Zhongbai and his own blessings and misfortunes depended on him, how could he look forward to his resignation?

What a clever and clever way to get rid of it, calm down and think about it carefully for a while, and then I understood what Ru Zhongbai meant.

"You mean that I just took this opportunity to show my heart to the Holy Lord, telling the Holy Lord that I am not greedy for this military and political power, as long as you give an order, I can take off my official robe at any time!"

Ruzhong Bai laughed: "The prime minister is the prime minister, and you can understand all the ideas that your subordinates have come up with day and night." ”

Ignoring his flattering words, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was indeed a solution, and turned his head to look at Ru Zhongbai and praised: "It's a shame to have you by your side, otherwise I almost missed a big thing, and I will leave to see the Holy One after a while, and ask him to depose our two brothers." ”

Detachment has always been vigorous and resolute, and under the prompting of Ru Zhongbai, he quickly had a clue, and immediately ordered the steward to prepare a sedan chair, and immediately set off to enter the palace to ask to see Emperor Zhizheng.

An hour later, Tokhtar knelt down in front of the palace of Emperor Zhizheng, Chen said that he and Yexian Timur were guilty, and when he talked about the emotional place, he burst into tears, and even the eunuchs who watched on the side shed tears.

Pu Buhua listened one by one in the dormitory across the palace gate, and briefly wrote it down with a pen while listening, and when he was almost done, he turned around and handed the things he had written down to Emperor Zhizheng for a look.

In addition to Emperor Zhizheng in the dormitory, Queen Qi, Concubine Xiang, and Hama were all waiting on the side.

Emperor Zhizheng was concentrating on the Xianting Palace leak on the case, and he would pick up the pen to modify a few places on the drawings, and then pick up a small carving knife to reform it himself.

Empress Qi and the others were also very busy, Empress Qi was personally responsible for grinding, Concubine Xiang was responsible for blending incense and cooking tea, and Hama was responsible for cleaning up the debris all over the ground at any time, and then sent new high-quality wooden blocks and strips to Emperor Zhizheng's case.

Emperor Zhizheng seemed to be concentrating, but in fact he was also thinking about how to face Tokto, and when he saw that Pu Buhua was back, he raised his head and asked, "How is it?" What did my prime minister say outside crying? ”

Pu Buhua didn't dare to repeat it, but walked forward and bowed down and raised the paper in his hand and presented it.

Emperor Zhizheng glared at Pu Buhua, and swept the wooden block and carving knife in his hand, meaning that I still have the hand to take it?

But Pu didn't bend his head or raise it, just bent over and held it, and Emperor Zhizheng had no choice but to call Hama: "Hama, if he doesn't dare to learn, then it's up to you to read it, make a louder voice!" I want to hear how he interceded for his brother this time! ”

Hama took the order, took the paper and looked down at the ten lines, and after a cursory look, he was taken aback, and looked at it carefully again.

Emperor Zhizheng and the others were impatient, and frowned: "I let you read it, but I didn't let you take it and see it yourself!" ”

Hama hurriedly pleaded guilty, and immediately opened his mouth to read, slowing down his speech while thinking in his heart what he wanted to say.

At first, he thought the same as the emperor, and he must have interceded for his younger brother Timur, but after reading the words written on the paper, Hama fell into doubt.

The whole text written above is full of words such as saying that they are incompetent and useless, and that they are not worthy of the task, and even ask the Holy Decree to remove their brother from office.

Pu Buhua wrote it down truthfully, and he didn't dare to talk about anything in it, so it should have its own intentions.

Hama guessed the intention of taking off, so the recitation was full of emotion, and when he read it touching, he actually cried out loud, until he knelt down in front of Emperor Zhizheng with a puff after reading the whole article: "Your Majesty, you must not dismiss the Prime Minister!" ”
