Yunkai is on the golden palace on the sun, and the wind is singing in the jasper.

Yuan Dadu.

In the main hall of the Daming Palace, Emperor Zhizheng sat on the dragon chair, at the age of twenty-eight, he experienced countless ordeals that ordinary people could not experience and could not imagine, and this dragon chair had been sitting for fifteen years unconsciously.

He first watched Yan Timur be domineering and domineering in fear from this dragon chair, and finally waited until Yan Timur died of overindulgence, and then another Boyan made him tremble for seven years.

Now when he thinks of that past, he still feels extremely humiliated, this supreme imperial power is not easy to come by, so he can no longer tolerate anyone threatening him!

"I finally sat down on this dragon chair, you wastes still dare to rebel against me repeatedly, I don't allow you to impeach, you even resigned together, it's really the opposite!"

Emperor Zhizheng looked at the pile of imperial history platforms in front of him and the remarks submitted by various imperial histories, and suddenly a burst of anger rose.

Guy was impeached by the Imperial Shi Taichen for the incumbent Zhongshu Right Prime Minister Bei'er for cowardice and various crimes, but Emperor Zhizheng was promoted to Bei'er for cowardice and without spending, and he was promoted to the post of Taibao, and he also demoted the imperial historian to leave Beijing, causing all the following to resign from the imperial history.

In addition to the palace maid, there is only one person serving in the palace, this person's name is Hama, because his mother is the nurse of the previous emperor Ning Zong, so he is fortunate to serve as a guard in the palace.

After Emperor Zhizheng ascended the throne, he was very preferential to his loyal courtiers, Hama was clever, and he was the best at figuring out the holy will, so Emperor Zhizheng was very fond of him, and gradually promoted him to serve in the palace in a few years, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty's anger is just some pretentious rotten Confucianism, this move is just for the so-called "clear name", as long as Your Majesty gives them a smile, they will definitely wag their tails and beg for mercy like pugs. ”

Ha Ma has a fat head and big ears, and his face is full of sneers at the moment, and his fat flesh can't wait to squeeze oil out of the folds.

Hama's flattery was very much in line with Emperor Zheng's thoughts, and he no longer paid attention to this pile of music, "But this is really ridiculous to be cowardly and unscrupulous, and I can't protect him this time." ”

"Your Majesty, Mazartai has passed away." Hama reminded in a whisper.

Emperor Zhizheng squinted at Hama, "You are very loyal to their family." ”

This sentence is meaningful, Hama didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly knelt down, "Hama is only loyal to His Majesty, Hama just saw that these people couldn't help His Majesty deal with government affairs, and he was worried that His Majesty was tired of his body, so he thought of transferring Na Tuo back to share His Majesty's worries." ”

Hama's answer obviously made Emperor Zhizheng very satisfied, "Get up, I've told you how many times, don't kneel down at every turn." ”

"Hama kneels and touches His Majesty's light, maybe he will live longer!" Ha Ma is fat, and he is wearing court clothes, and he is already sweating when he kneels.

"It's all a minister, why are you always like a slave."

Emperor Zhizheng was suspicious after repeated hardships, appointed courtiers, and his ability came second, and loyalty was the most important, so Hama was able to sit in today's position.

"These official positions are not uncommon, and Hama prefers to be a slave who can serve His Majesty day and night."

Emperor Zhizheng was in a good mood by Hama's coaxing, "That's it, let's take it off." But not long after Mazartai died, would he be willing to return? ”

Ha Ma dared to suggest transferring back to Tokhtar at this time, because he knew that Emperor Zhizheng was upset, and the source was actually that since Totok resigned, the several prime ministers appointed were not of great use, but Emperor Zheng listened to Bei'er's cowardly slander last year, and relegated Toto's father Mazartai to the Western Regions, causing him to die of illness.

"Your Majesty, why don't you fulfill the wish of these imperial ministers?" The emperor proposed to take off and come back to Hama is already a great joy, it is better to take this opportunity to take the opportunity to don't be timid to spend that old thing directly, Hama is careful to try.

"Well, let's do it."

"Then Hama will go and give him a breath later? A handful of old people should always be interesting, and they should share their worries for His Majesty before leaving. ”

Emperor Zhizheng knew that Hama wanted Bei'er to take the initiative to resign, so as to not only save his face, but also make those imperial ministers who were selling their reputation have nothing to say, and they could also give an explanation to Toto, which was indeed a lot of gains, and he was very happy in his heart, "Go and do it." ”

Hama knew that the loyalty and ability to the emperor was irreplaceable by others, so since he took the throne, he stood in the camp of the detachment without hesitation and attached himself to him in every way.

After Toto's resignation, Be'er, who had a grudge against Toto's family, was cowardly and the party impeached Tokhtar many times, and it was Hama who secretly comforted Emperor Zheng to save Tokhtar from suffering.

Finally keep the clouds open to see the moon, take off this time must be grateful for their kindness, the future days will definitely be like a fish in water, out of the Daming Palace, Hama is in a good mood, rubbing his round belly, laughing happily.

Tokhtaku Mansion.

Twenty-four-year-old Tokhoff has matured a lot in the four years since he left Beijing, for him, the pursuit is no longer a temporary fame and wealth and family honor and disgrace, his uncle Boyan, who has been in charge of national politics for eight years, was pulled off the stage of history by his own hands, and his father who was a great minister has also passed away, and he has been an official to the right prime minister of Zhongshu when he was 20 years old.

The ultimate wealth and power, Tokh was born to enjoy, as a courtier to kill his relatives and help Emperor Zhizheng regain imperial power, there will inevitably be a place in the annals of history.

But in the four years since he left Beijing, he has seen many things that he can't see in most places......

Countless natural and man-made disasters, endless corpses are everywhere, and the dignified Dayuan has already been in a miserable state of lingering!

Mazartai died of illness, and soon after Tokhtar returned to Beijing, although he had resigned, he saw the devastation of Dayuan now, and resolutely decided to return to the court to save the country from danger and save the people from fire and water.

"Sir, in the past four years, natural disasters have occurred frequently, especially in the abdomen and Henan Province. At this time, the amount of taxes in our dynasty was already 20 times that of our ancestors, but it was still so difficult financially. The Yellow River has breached several times, famines are frequent, plagues have broken out, people have been displaced, and a large number of people have died. ”

took off his hands on his back, and his handsome face had changed a little, and he was even more resolute at the moment.

"The current situation is turbulent, and the imperial court has long been powerless, not to mention that at this time, traitors are in charge, if you want to make a difference, you have to think long-term, and get real power first."

Wu Zhifang has passed the age of antiquity, his body is thin and weak, and the brown spots on his cheeks have spread from both sides to his neck, showing his old age, but a pair of eyes that are deep in his eye sockets are like eagle eyes, and his sharp gaze seems to be able to see through everything.

"Don't be cowardly with this old thief, because of family feuds and personal grudges, he even repeatedly slandered the saints, which caused my father to migrate to the Western Regions and become ill from hard work." Shedding hatred said.

Mazartai is Wu Zhifang's Bole, mentioning Mazartai's death, Wu Zhifang squinted, and the sadness contained in his eyes was indescribable.

moved his mouth, and a hoarse voice came out, "It's just that the old man is incompetent, and he can only watch the old prime minister die in a foreign country." ”

Wu Zhifang's heart, no matter what the success or failure of Mazartai is, he is the most respected prime minister in his heart, since the old prime minister is not there, then only as his son's detachment, is worthy of being the prime minister above ten thousand people under this big yuan!

When he was wandering alone in the capital as a Han Chinese, he was the only one who admired himself, and he was not only courteous, but also asked himself to be the enlightenment of his two sons.

The so-called soldier dies for his confidant, and since then, Wu Zhifang has poured all his talents and wisdom into Mazartai's son Toto, and finally helped him become a talent.

"Sir, don't be sad anymore, pay attention to your body"

After all, Wu Zhifang is over seventy years old, and he is a little worried.

"Don't worry, I can't die yet, at least I have to do something for you before I die."

Wu Zhifang's answer moved Totoku very much, and he didn't say more.

"I heard that there is civil turmoil in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Although Tokhtar has been away from Beijing for a few years, after all, the family power is all over the government and the opposition, and some major events of the government and the opposition can be seen without leaving home.

"Yes, and the movement is not small, gathering a lot of coastal fishermen and traders to rob the sea grain." Knowing that Totok was talking about the rebellion of Fang Guozhen and other salt dealers, Wu Zhifang replied truthfully.

"How does the imperial court respond?"

"Naturally, it is to order Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to send troops to conscript."

"Hmph, if that group of waste is useful, why would they wait for the Haikou to grow up to this point before going to ask for it."

"In fact, there is nothing to worry about, the important thing is that the disasters in the past few years have been really serious, the people have been in turmoil one after another, some non-governmental religious organizations have taken the opportunity to make trouble, and the Ming Sect, the White Lotus Sect, and other cults have made quite a big noise, so they have to be guarded against."

Wu Zhifang is seventy years old, but when he talks about current affairs, he speaks quickly and has a clear mind.

Totoku sighed: "In the final analysis, it is the problem of the imperial court itself. Why didn't those people rebel sooner or later, but at this time? The problem of flooding cannot be stopped until it is solved. ”

"Flooding is indeed the first problem to be solved, and the second is finance, the treasury is empty but money is needed everywhere, and all expenses cannot be spent from taxes."

Tokhtar knew why, and nodded in agreement, but remained silent.

Since the ancestor Kublai Khan, all generations of imperial nobles have contempt and contempt for the Han people, before the monopoly of power Boyan had to the Zhizheng Emperor admonishment, in a vain attempt to kill the "Zhang, Wang, Liu, Li, Zhao" five surnames of the Han people, fortunately to the Zheng Emperor tried his best to oppose, did not cause a catastrophe.

From top to bottom, most of the official positions were held by Mongols and Semu, although a small number of Han Chinese held positions, and they were all deputy positions to assist in errands.

This incident is enough to show the contempt of the Mongolian aristocracy for the Han people, since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that the Mongolian and Semu nobles have bullied the Han people.
