But this letter really hit Emperor Hui's heart.

"Raising thieves with self-respect!"

The four large characters in thick ink are extremely eye-catching and dazzling.

Speaking from the heart, Emperor Hui has not fallen down so far, and he has made great efforts to get rid of it. The two were inseparable from each other at the beginning, but since Yuan Taizu, each Yuan Emperor has many weak lords and strong ministers, and the power of the court has fallen to the powerful ministers. The former Boyan was famous and prominent back then, and he actually put Emperor Yuan in the temple, and the national weapon was almost in the hands of Boyan, could it be that this detachment should also follow in his footsteps?

Emperor Hui closed his eyes and muttered for a long time, and the eunuchs did not dare to speak, bowing their heads and waiting.

After a long time, Emperor Hui asked aloud: "How are the commanders of the guards and pro-army departments in the land of the hinterland behaving now?" ”

This question is clueless, if it weren't for the eunuch who served Emperor Hui for a long time, others would not have been able to answer at all.

"Back to Your Majesty, all the ministers except those who followed Lord Youcheng to the south are all on duty, but I haven't heard anything wrong."

The Yuan court guard army consisted of the original cowardly Xue and the newly built guard army.

Cowardly Xue was in charge of the cowardly Xue Chang and directly obeyed the emperor's orders. The guards are under the command of the envoys, except for the East Palace and the Harem Guards, all of whom are subordinate to the Privy Council, which is in charge of military affairs. There is a clear difference between the two in terms of recruitment. The members of the Ti Xue were mainly from the Mongol tribes, and the soldiers of the guards were not only from the Han army in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, the Tanma Red Army and the new annexed army (the Southern Song Dynasty Descending Army), but also the Semu people who were originally attached to the Mongol army and the Mongol children in exile were also important sources. According to the regulations of the Yuan court, the guards must be elite soldiers, so the guards became the backbone of the Yuan army, gradually replacing the military status of Ti Xue as the backbone of the whole army during the Mongol period.

When Tokhtar removed Boyan for Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan specially promoted Tokhtoku to know the affairs of the Privy Council, held the tiger talisman, and promoted the Wubei Temple, Asuwei Qianhu, and Shaoxi and other places The military and civilian Xuanfu Envoy, Xuanzhong Wuluosi Escort Pro-Army Commander Si Dalu Huachi, Zhaogong Wanhu Mansion. In October of that year, Mazatai resigned due to illness, and Emperor Hui immediately reissued the position of the first master.

In the first year of Zheng, he was ordered to get rid of the right prime minister of the Chinese book and record important military affairs. It can be said that Emperor Hui's reliance on Tokhoff at that time was not insignificant, and Totoku naturally made many great things in various positions, and at the same time cultivated and encircled countless subordinates. It is natural for the guards of this Beijing division to vigorously cultivate cronies among the pro-army.

In fact, this kind of thing is inevitable, as a powerful minister, he has the ambition to change the world, and he has to hold the power to get rid of it.

The interests of the various factions in the upper echelons of the Yuan court were entangled, and it was inevitable that there would be too many administrative constraints.

As a descendant of the Mongols, Tokhtar is really not interested in playing conspiracy tricks, duplicity and the like. I would rather embark on the path of vigorous and resolute action everywhere once the order is issued. In order to speed up the efficiency of the issuance of government decrees, it is natural to take more care of close confidants in the personnel of court officials. Invisibly, this move offended many people in the temple. What's more, the implementation of the new policy has touched the interests of countless people from top to bottom, which is tantamount to a profound change.

Since ancient times, it is difficult for changemakers to end well!

Tok's monopoly on power, and in the end, it touched the reverse scale of Emperor Yuan's desire for power.

Since the past two years, Emperor Hui was worried about the loss of power, so he naturally secretly made a lot of arrangements one by one, and the cowardly Xue army belonged to the imperial power, and the commanders and envoys in charge of the troops were all from Emperor Yuan's henchmen.

The left capital and the right guard are all subordinate to the East Palace, and the left guard and the right guard are subordinate to the harem, and these guards are all reliable soldiers of the royal family. But the other guards have been listening to the tune for a long time, and it is really difficult to know what their position is.

As for the left and right of them, Asuwei, Tang Wuwei, etc., are directly people who have broken away from the same line. Fortunately, the whole army of Asuwei died in Shangcai that year, and the combat power of the rebuilt Asuwei was greatly reduced, and it was no longer to be feared.

This time, I heard that Yidu Road asked to transfer troops to help suppress the Linqu thief army, and Emperor Yuan instructed the Privy Council to directly send Tang Wuwei to Yidu Road to suppress the bandits, because he was worried that staying in Beijing would have more variables. Listen to Tang Wuwei suffered a big defeat in Linqu, according to the meaning of the Privy Council. Originally, he wanted to deal with the commander Li Zhenxiong, but Emperor Yuan pardoned his crimes, only ordered him to be reprimanded, fined for three months, and made him guilty and meritorious service.

"Let's fight, let's beat all the Tang Wuwei!" Emperor Hui secretly thought at that time, if he moved this Li Zhenxiong early, he was afraid that he would alarm the detachment in the south. If you don't show goodwill, first relax your heart. In fact, Emperor Hui has already had the intention of breaking up, but he is still not ready to fight.

Now this recital is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and the dissatisfaction that Emperor Hui has been holding on for a long time finally explodes.

Seeing that this recital is from the Imperial Historical Stage, what he said must be true. Emperor Yuan remembered that he had sent a letter to inquire why the war had dragged on for a long time, and the number of thieves in the army was huge, and there were many thieves among the people, far exceeding the prediction of the Jingshi. The official army attacked everywhere, and it took a lot of time to finally remove a large part of the Zhang thief's minions, and the city wall of Gaoyou City was strong, and there were many thieves in it, and they were bent on death, which was really not overnight. However, the army is besieged, and there is nowhere to escape from the thieves, so please let your Majesty rest assured and wait for a few more days, and the good news will be delivered to the capital in the near future.

Wait a few more days! Emperor Hui was furious in his heart, hundreds of thousands of troops consumed grain, rice, and money every day!

Not to mention the small beacon fire and wolf smoke in various places in recent years, it is Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui who have been in trouble one after another in the past 11 years, Guo Zixing and Sun Deyahaozhou rebelled in 12 years, and last year this Zhang Shicheng took the opportunity to make trouble, the river transportation and sea transportation between the north and the south were almost cut off, and the price of rice in most of the cities rose almost every month!

The Yuan court successively requisitioned millions of troops, and the treasury was exhausted. Every time Zhongshu Province mentions the amount of taxes this year, how much the national government spends, and how much the Privy Council asks for money and food, as for the Xuanzheng Yuan, the National History Academy, the Zongzheng Mansion, the Guanglu Temple, the Taishi Academy, the Guozijian, etc., the lion opens his mouth every year, and the data makes the Yuan Emperor speechless. There are countless courtiers these courtiers, but they only know how to hand the hot potato to the lord, and they have nothing to do!

But if you don't destroy the thief, you can't do it. The army had to spend money and food, the treasury was not enough, so it had to increase the taxes in various places, and the tax recovery was very urgent, and the people were miserable, so they simply attached the thieves to rebel, and the Yuan court then dispatched troops and horses to levy and suppress, and in order to meet the military needs, they had to increase the taxes in various places again, and the hole became bigger and bigger, and it was impossible to make up for it.

It's an endless cycle, and it's almost always the same in all dynasties. Emperor Yuan also studied the history of the changes in the Central Plains court since he was a child, and every time he read it, he couldn't help but feel emotional. However, the dilemma of the treasury not being able to make ends meet has been for a long time, and he is deeply helpless. At this time, one is to complain that the previous Yuan Emperor did not care about managing state affairs, but only wantonly rewarded the Mengse ministers with money, grain and land, and put the state treasury in the back of his mind, and the second was to complain and blurt out big words, since he made him govern, he has gathered the strength of the whole country to repair the Yellow River, resume the imperial examination, issue yuan banknotes, compile three histories, and all kinds of affairs, I don't know how much energy and material resources were spent on the imperial court!

To say that Emperor Yuan himself was not diligent in government, he would never agree with this point of view. Since Meng Yuan entered the Central Plains, except for Yuan Shizu, he did not dare to compare, and the later Yuan Emperor had many inferior people.

That is, how many people can sit on the dragon chair for more than ten years in a single wheel?

The Mongolian relatives who hate themselves are not angry, they only know how to fight for power and profit, and there are even those who wantonly forged yuan banknotes in the mansion and harmed the imperial court currency system! Those Han officials don't have a few good things, most of them are generous and righteous, in front of Emperor Yuan, they look worried about the country and the people, but behind the scenes, they are male thieves and prostitutes, and they are corrupt, and their degree is no less than that of the eunuchs!

There are a few cadres and officials in the Imperial Observatory, and they have also brought down a lot of eye-catching guys for themselves, and they have no choice but to drop the bucket. There are too few cronies available to him inside and outside the court!

It's funny to say, check the history of the Yuan Dynasty, most of the Yuan Emperor's monarchy was not stable, and many of the great powers fell to the Mongol high-ranking officials or tribes, and sometimes they were even able to influence the replacement of the Yuan Emperor. This right is directly reflected in the direct jurisdiction of these Mongolian magnates over local military and civil power. This is also determined by the congenital familial tribal management model of the Mongolian tribes.

Any Mongol who wants to ascend to the throne must have the shadow of one or several great Mongolian nobles behind him.

Emperor Hui's father is He Shiji, the eldest son of Wuzong Haishan, but unfortunately he is a concubine. He also has a younger brother Tu Ti Mu'er, who is also a concubine, after the death of Emperor Taiding of Yuan, Yan Timur, a confidant of Haishan of Yuan Wuzong, did not forget the old master, and supported the second son of Haishan Tu Ti Mu'er to ascend the throne, and started a civil war with Emperor Tianshun, the son of Emperor Taiding. The battle ended with a great victory for Yan Timur.

Supporting Tu Ti Mu'er was a decision forced by the situation at that time. Because when the coup d'état occurred, He Shiqi was still far away in Mobei, and he could not quickly rush back to the throne to preside over the overall situation. Therefore, as early as the beginning of Wenzong Tu Timu'er's accession to the throne, he issued an edict on the throne that was made public to the world, declaring that once Emperor Tianshun was eradicated, the throne would be returned to his brother.

After the world was already peaceful, Yuan Wenzong Tu Timu'er sent an envoy to Mobei in November to welcome his half-brother and Shiqi to succeed him and return to the capital.

He Shiji saw the envoy coming, and heard that his younger brother had decided to abdicate the throne, and he was immediately on the throne of the emperor, which was for Yuan Mingzong. After swinging the emperor's array, he slowly marched towards Dadu.

In March of the following year, Yuan Wenzong Tu Timur sent the meritorious Yan Timur with the emperor's seal to greet Mingzong again. The two teams met in April, and Mingzong and Shiqi were even happier when they got the emperor's seal, and immediately named Yan Timur as the Taishi, leaving most of the entourage, and he returned to the capital with Yan Timur.

Seeing that his younger brother Tu Timu'er was so humble, he and Shiji decided to have a beautiful talk routine of "brother to brother, uncle successively". He passed down a decree halfway through the way, and named Wen Zongtu Timuer, who took the initiative to abdicate the throne, as the "crown prince". So that this younger brother can take over Dabao.

As the messenger of Mingzong, King Che Che of Wuning, quickly delivered the good news to Dadu. When Tutimur learned that his brother had made himself the crown prince, he decided the next day to go north as the crown prince and personally welcome his brother and Shiji back to Beijing.

On the first day of August, Tutimur and He Shiqi met in Zhangbei County, Hebei Province. From the second day of the first lunar month, Mingzong and Shiqi immediately held a banquet on the spot to entertain his younger brother Tutimur and the kings and ministers to celebrate.

Who knew that on the fourth day of the banquet, Mingzong and Shiqi, who were only twenty-nine years old, collapsed.

As a Taishi, Yan Timur carried the emperor's seal, protecting Tutimur and galloping all the way to the capital.

On 8 August, Tutimur returned to Shangdu under the protection of Yan Timur.

On 15 August, Tutimur returned to the throne. It's only been less than a year, and the change of throne between brothers is as fast as a marquee in the downtown area!

Wenzong, who re-ascended the throne, appointed his eldest wife Bu Ta Shuli as the queen, and brought his brother's widow, Queen Babusha, into the palace to support him.

Mingzong and Shiji died too strangely. The widow Ba Busha inevitably had no ideas. By the way, he also had some complaints about Wenzong's eldest wife, Queen Bu Ta Li. As a result, the two had a grudge.

Soon, Empress Bu Da Lili executed the Queen of Babusha.

After Babusha's death, the spearhead of the queen Bu Da Li was immediately pointed at the eldest son of He Shiji. At this time, although Tuhuan Timur had not yet been crowned king due to his status as a concubine, he was already ten years old and was the oldest one in the selection of the heir to the throne at that time. This alone is enough to make Wenzong and his wife suspicious.

In the second month after Babusha's death, a piece of news will come out: the eldest son of Shu Huan Timu'er is not Mingzong's biological son at all, and the witness is the husband of the prince's nurse, and the evidence is the confession of the grandmother.

Munjong and Bu Ta Than-ri immediately adopted it, and quickly exiled Tohuan Timu'er to the distant vassal state of Goryeo.

According to the meaning of the queen Bu Da Li, the next thing was to exile Mingzong and Shiji's sister-in-law Yi Gong Zhi class, but Wenzong saw that his little nephew was only five years old, and he couldn't make any waves no matter how he looked at it, so he finally left him in the palace to raise him.

A year later, because someone wanted to carry out a coup d'état in the name of Prince Mingzong, Tuhuan Mu'er was remembered by Wenzong again. Wenzong issued an edict, openly declaring that Tuhuan Timu'er was a wild species, and exiled him to Jingjiang again, which is now Guilin, Guangxi.

Subsequently, Bu Ta Li's own child, Yan Wang Aratenatara, finally ascended to the throne of the prince and became another crown prince of the Yuan Dynasty.

But what is unexpected is that this little prince Aratenatra only served as the prince for twenty days before he fell ill and died!

In the second year, Yuan Wenzong fell seriously ill, and perhaps repented before his death, and Wenzong decided to pass the throne to Mingzong's son, Tuhuan Mu'er.

Regarding Wenzong's decision, Bu Ta Lili finally expressed his acceptance, although the minister Yan Timur objected, but as a courtier, he could only agree.

In August of the third year of Zhishun (1332), Wenzong died in Shangdu. Coincidentally, he, like his elder brother Mingzong, only lived to be twenty-nine years old.

Yan Timur did not intend to really put the throne in the hands of Mingzong's son, but the regent Empress Bu Ta Lili insisted on keeping her promise to her husband. Yan Timur had no choice but to put Mingzong's concubine Yi Zhiban, who was raised in the palace, on the throne of the emperor two months later, for Yuanningzong.

Although Yi Gong became the emperor, his life was really bad, and after only forty-three days on the throne, he suddenly died of a sudden illness, and the little emperor was only seven years old.

After Ning Zong's untimely death, Yan Timur united with the courtiers to make a statement to the Empress Dowager Bu Ta Li, asking Yan Ti Gusi, the second son of Ming Zong, to be the emperor.

However, Bu Ta Lili insisted on fulfilling Mingzong's last wish, and ignored the wild seed hat planted for his nephew back then, and said: "The heavenly position is very important, my son Fang You, how can I let it be!" Tuhuan is close to Mu'er in Guangxi, now thirteen, and the eldest son of Mingzong, the ceremony should be established. ”

In February of the fourth year of Zhishun (1333 AD), Tuhuan Timur, who was almost suspected of being in a dream, returned to the capital.

But returning to the capital does not mean that you will be able to become emperor immediately. Yan Timur was deeply jealous of him, and tried every means to prevent Tuhuan Timur from ascending the throne. In the end, he also sacrificed the killer weapon of "Mandate of Heaven", saying that if Tuhuan and Mu'er were allowed to take the throne, the world would be in chaos.

But the pitiful fate of Tuhuan Timur finally opened God's eyes, and three months later, the overly lascivious Yan Timur actually urinated and died!

Yan Timur died, and Tuhuan Timur's future was suddenly bright.

Two months later, the regent Empress Dowager Bu Da Lili made the thirteen-year-old Tuhuan Timur emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was Emperor Yuan Hui.

(Emperor Yuan Hui's life was so dramatic that it had to be briefly briefed at length, and this tortuous experience must have played a huge role in his character.) ）

Emperor Yuan Hui was lonely and helpless in the first half of his life, lost his father and mother, and was forced to live in a foreign land. He first ascended to the throne, but the power was still in the hands of the regent Empress Dowager Bu Ta Lili and Bo Yan.

Tuhuan Timur was cautious and forbearing, and he was deeply obscure. In the early days of his reign, he set up 366 officials to manage his daily life. In December of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (1335), it was even more contrary to common sense, and the edict honored his aunt Bu Ta Lost as the Empress Dowager, and praised Bu Ta Lost in the edict for his achievements in "inheriting the trust of the nine temples and opening the cause of the two dynasties".

In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Tang Qi, the son of Yan Temur, rebelled, failed and died; His sister, the Empress of Dana, was also killed by Boyan, and the Yan Temur family was completely defeated.

After the fall of Boyan, Emperor Yuan Shun, with the strong assistance of Toto, successfully reshuffled the cards inside and outside the court again, and removed Bu Da Lige to the title of regent Empress Dowager, and moved to Dong'an Prefecture to settle down, and was given death soon after.

Now, could it be that Tohta, who Tuhuan Timur relied on the most, also had a heart of disobedience?
