Chapter 56: Blossoming in the Tree
"Your Excellency, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you so hard......" Hama couldn't cry when he saw it, as if he had a backbone.
"Shi Lian, you have suffered in the past few years." Totoh was also moved, and said comfortingly.
After Tokhtar's resignation, Hama was attacked and ridiculed by other cowardly parties because he tried his best to attach himself to Tokhtar, and he was able to always maintain his loyalty to Tokhtar, which is indeed quite rare, and Tokhtar knows it well.
"What are you talking about? It's just that don't be cowardly and don't spend it, it's really hateful, confusing black and white, and I lobbied the emperor five times, which made the old lady suffer misfortune. Thankfully, you made it back safely. ”
Although Hama behaved sincerely, the last two sentences were suspected of inviting merit, but after all, Hama was loyal and commendable, and Wu Zhifang couldn't say anything in his eyes, so he could only watch coldly.
Tokhtar is already young, although he is mature and steady, but it is inevitable that he will lose a little bit of the city government when he sees people and things, and he is extremely grateful to him because he has suffered so much.
"In the past few years since I left Beijing, thanks to your repeated persuasion of the emperor and maneuvering from it, I have not suffered disasters. How will I be in health after I leave? ”
"Everything is fine with the saint, although the saint doesn't say it, but I know that he has been thinking about you all along. I'm here in a hurry today because I have good news and can't wait to tell you. ”
Toto's eyes lit up, "What's the news?" ”
"Your Majesty has deliberately belittled you, don't be cowardly, don't spend that old thief, let you return to the court!" Hama stopped her tears and looked uplifted.
Wu Zhifang frowned, and couldn't help but interject, "You can't talk nonsense!" ”
Hama glanced at Wu Zhifang, and didn't take Wu Zhifang seriously in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to it, and continued to say to Toto: "Although Your Majesty hasn't said it yet, it has already been ordered, and the old thief should resign in the near future." ”
In order to ask for credit to Tokhtar to a greater extent, Hama naturally would not say that he had already done this before coming to him, so that Tokhtar felt that he was taking a risk to help him, which would undoubtedly make him pay more attention to his loyalty and role.
"This is very good, don't worry, if I return to the court, I will avenge you, so that those traitors will have no good fruit to eat." Totoh held Hama's hand and said with great certainty.
"It's okay for Hama to be idle, as long as the adults can return to the court, it will be a great thing for the country and the people." It seems that he didn't choose the wrong person, and his good days are finally coming.
The reason why he dared to do his best to bet on Totokh was because he understood the psychology and character of Emperor Zhizheng enough.
The process of Emperor Zhizheng overthrowing Boyan back then all relied on the assistance of Boyan's younger brother Mazartai and nephew Toto, especially Toto, who chose to help a puppet emperor when his uncle's power was at its peak!
Emperor Zhizheng has had a sense of dependence on Tokhtar since then, and which emperor would be too stupid to be a loyal and capable courtier?
For Hama, as long as he grasps the right opportunity and follows the right person, why worry about not getting wealth and power?
"In Eslen's opinion, what else should we prepare now?" Tokhtar regarded him as his confidant, so he asked bluntly.
Hama shook his head and said, "After all, you are secretly returning to Beijing this time, and it is not appropriate to act in a big way, you need to put on an attitude that you don't value power." ”
"Oh? So you have a plan in mind? ”
As soon as Tokto's heart moved, his gaze immediately shot at Hama's face.
Hama licked his somewhat dry lips, stretched his neck slightly and leaned into his ear and said: "The saint's mind Hama knows a little bit, since the saint ordered me to order you to return to Beijing, it is inevitable that you will return to the court, but it is inevitable to test you." ”
"Temptation?" Tokhtar immediately understood the deep meaning of Hama's words, this saint who finally sat on the throne was extremely sensitive in his heart, and no one could use common sense to deal with it.
His sudden resignation, which shocked the government and the opposition four years ago, was to see a trace of uneasiness in the emperor's eyes, after all, he was worried that he would become the next Yan Timur or the next Boyan, so with the consideration of "staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood", Totoku resolutely resigned.
The speed at which Emperor Zhizheng allowed him to leave Beijing was enough to see that his guess was not wrong, and the deep meaning of Hama's words at this moment was to remind himself of this matter.
"Ha Ma is not talented, but there is a plan to make you justifiable!" Hama's sudden color said.
"I want to hear about it."
"Hama believes that this matter can start with the prince."
The prince mentioned by Hama is the eldest son of Emperor Zhizheng. According to the royal practice, the emperor's eldest son, Aiyu Zhili Dala, was fostered in Toto's home when he was a child, and Hutotok was a "grandmother", and was deeply affected by Totoh, and was a close friend of Toto's son Harazhang.
Although Aiyu Zhili Dara is the eldest son of the emperor, he was not born to the queen of the main palace, but was born to the palace maid Qi, and the Qi family also became the second queen of the Zhizheng Emperor - Queen Qi because of "the mother is precious by the son".
So the mother and son tried their best to win over the ministers of the court and the central government for their use, so that the eldest son could become the crown prince in the future.
Seeing that Tak Tokh did not answer, Hama continued: "In the four years since you left Beijing, the eldest son of the emperor has become more and more favored by the saint, and Empress Qi has also beaten the queen of the main palace to dominate the harem. With the help of their mother and son, you will have a much greater chance of being reinstated! ”
Totoku took a deep breath, hesitating in his heart, he didn't expect that he would be involved in the matter of seizing the heir as soon as he returned to Beijing. But what Hama said is indeed reasonable, if you can make good use of the affection between her son Hara Zhang and the emperor's eldest son, and then promise to repay Queen Qi, you must be able to get their support.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Wu Zhifang on the side asked on his behalf: "But even if you get the support of Queen Qi's mother and son, whether the prime minister can be reinstated depends on the meaning of the saint?" ”
Ha Ma Zhengse replied: "The important thing at the moment is to let the adults return to the court first, not immediately!" ”
"Why is that?" Wu Zhifang asked with a frown.
Hama already had a plan in his heart, and replied calmly: "Today's court situation is full of undercurrents, don't be cowardly, once you are degraded, you may not know how many people are coveting this position, and they can't rush to wade into this muddy water."
Adults can endure the pain of lying on the salary and tasting gall, but they can endure it for a while. As long as you take the line of the emperor's eldest son, you can find a way to get the saint to agree to let the adult pope the prince, and then return to the dynasty with this new identity! At that time, presumably the wise people in the court will naturally know who to stand behind them......"
Tokhtar stroked his palm and praised: "What a plan to bloom on the tree!" In this way, everyone in the court must be convinced, thinking that I am full of the grace of the saint, and I have the support of Empress Qi and the eldest son of the emperor behind me, as long as I use this to build momentum, those young people in the court will naturally bow down and obey orders! ”
