Chapter 297: Xiangyang Righteous Army

Faced with the anger on his face, Hama also made a guarantee at the first time: "Prime Minister rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter in detail, and I am sure that there will be no such thing again!" ”

Hama was so sincere that he couldn't blame him, and after calming down, he looked at some Lang Wucai who had the door closed, and asked indifferently: "Your Majesty has been doing with the Holy Communion recently?" ”

"Prime Minister rest assured, Your Majesty eats every day with me personally watching, and the medicines offered by the monks have also been secretly replaced by ordinary supplements by me."

Hama's answer made Tokhtar nod in satisfaction, and said softly: "I still have to go to the Privy Council, so I won't go in to disturb Your Majesty's interest." ”

Hearing this, Hama immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty may summon me at any time, and Hama will not personally send you out of the palace." ”

Tokhtar answered, and walked away quickly.

It took a little half an hour to toss this back and forth in the Ouchi, and when he returned to the palace gate, he was already waiting with the prepared edict.

After the two got into the sedan chair, Totoku quickly read the edict and said the changes bluntly: "Not to mention that the imperial court has not yet paid off the project money for the control of the Yellow River, and now it has mobilized 100,000 troops to fight the rebellion in Henan, and the household department has long been unable to bear it, and this time the Jingxiang Rebellion will not be supported by money at all." ”

I had already guessed what Totoh said in my heart, but I was still shocked when I heard him really tell the truth.

"The soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, if the imperial court can't even get the military salary, how can the generals lead the troops to beg the thieves?"

Totoku squinted his eyes and said, "So this matter can't be solved by just an edict. ”

Hearing this, he fell into deep thought, he really didn't know what else could be done to quickly resolve the mess.

Halfway through the sedan chair, Totok suddenly changed his mind, lifted the sedan curtain and ordered him to divert to his home.

"Not going to the Privy Council?" The detachment is somewhat puzzled by the act of detachment.

Totoku said with a cold face: "The household department can't come up with the money, what's the use of going to the Privy Council to issue more edicts?" ”

Delie's face was full of shock: "Then do you just let this group of chaotic people do whatever they want?" ”

Tokhtar didn't reply, just scratched him fiercely with his cold eyes.

Only then did he realize that he had lost his words, and immediately obediently closed his mouth.

After the sedan chair arrived at the prime minister's mansion, Tokhoff rushed back to the study with the detachment in a hurry, and sat down in front of the table and wrote a secret letter.

Although he was curious, he also stood in the distance and waited in a distance, without interjecting and asking more.

On the way home, Tokhtar had already thought of the central intention of the letter, so he wrote it quickly, and it was completed in a few moments.

When the pen and ink were dry, he folded the letter and handed it to the detachment: "Quickly send someone to send this letter to the hand of the lost Badulu." ”

did not issue an edict, forwarded a secret letter, and failed to understand the deep meaning for a while, but still respectfully accepted the order.

"This matter must not be disseminated, and the messenger must be ordered to return to his life with a reply from the missing Badulu." Totoku instructed uneasily.

"Prime Minister rest assured." He deliberately sealed the letter carefully in front of him before he walked out of the study.

The careful thinking of detachment has not only won a certain degree of favor from detachment, but also attracted a certain degree of disgust from detachment.

The good impression is that he knows that he is just a person who does things, and he will not ask too much about things that should not be asked.

The disgust lies in the fact that he did not regard himself as a confidant who got rid of himself, and deliberately dissociated himself from the matter.

Tokhtar can always take advantage of the troublesome things that are constantly happening around him to verify one official after another around him.

whether he is loyal to the emperor or to himself; is shrewd and capable, or exquisite; Whether he is a capable general or a slanderous villain, he has his own set of judgment criteria.

From the Emperor Zhizheng on the dragon chair to the steward of the house, even if he is a character with several qualities, he will be able to understand his mind clearly.

It is this kind of careful consideration, which has been formed over the years and has formed a habit, that makes Totokh, who is in the prime of life, look like a shrewd and cunning old fox, and also makes him have to use his power to the extreme, so as to govern the country on behalf of the king.

Take the twist and turn of Xiangyang Lu Daru Huachi asking for help this time, Tokhtar has imagined countless possibilities in his heart just by a few words on the fold.

The reason why he wanted to send this secret letter in his own name, instead of giving orders in the name of the imperial court, was because he had already prepared for the worst - Xiangyang had fallen into the hands of thieves, and the imperial court had no troops to adjust......

In the first month of the twelfth year of Zhizheng, this winter, which was colder than previous years, the help of the local officials of the Yuan Court was broken and could not be delivered to the hands of the prime minister as soon as possible, but the good news letter of the "Zhushan Rebellion" arrived as scheduled and was delivered to Han Lingyue's hands.

"Senior, what is written in this letter is true?" Han Lingyue's voice seemed a little excited, and her eyes were full of joy.

The black-robed man sitting across from him nodded with a smile: "It's true." ”

"I didn't expect you to move so fast, and you actually captured the Xiangyang Heavy Land in one fell swoop, it's really unbelievable!" Han Lingyue was still in surprise and did not come back to his senses.

The black-robed man waved his hand: "Don't attribute this matter to me, I said earlier, I just played some inconsequential role here, and it is these heroes who dare to stand up who really make the credit." ”

Han Lingyue put down the letter and exhaled slowly, "Since the Red Turban Army uprising, there has finally been an unexpected joy. ”

The black-robed man said with a smile: "The people have been oppressed by the Yuan Court for a long time, and now the Red Turban Army is everywhere, and they naturally come forward. Just wait and see, there will only be more rebels everywhere from now on! ”

Han Lingyue said with emotion: "If this can be like this, it will not be in vain for so many years of preparation by my Ming Sect." ”

Hearing Han Lingyue mention Mingjiao, the smile on the black-robed man's face gradually disappeared and became silent.

Han Lingyue realized that he had lost his words, so he changed the topic and asked humbly: "Senior, in your opinion, will the Yuan Court divide the troops because of this?" ”

The black-robed man pondered for a moment, "It's hard to say, but the Yuan Court has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to control the Yellow River, and it should be difficult to support more wars in a short period of time." But in any case, Xuzhou and Xiangyang will definitely be able to help Liu Futong share some of the pressure to a certain extent. ”

Han Lingyue nodded, "Although the Xiangyang Righteous Army does not have many troops at the moment, it must be able to develop and grow soon. ”

The black-robed man agreed: "This Meng Haima has a relationship with me, and he is barely a talent for leading soldiers, and it is not easy for the Yuan Court to deal with him. ”
