Chapter 2: The Black Hand

"This is impossible, where did you hear the nonsense," Tuhuan Timur shuddered, stood up, and all the flames in his heart were extinguished, "No matter how stupid Tokh is, it is impossible to collude with the Zhu butcher, the surname Zhu has just passed some Gaoyou document last year, vowing to drive all my generals and ministers back to Mobei, Tokhtar is also a Mongol no matter how he says, how can he row a river with him,"

Although the words were extremely rational, but Tuhuan Timur's face was changing rapidly, before he ascended the throne, there were two generations of emperors in the Great Yuan Dynasty who were played with by the ministers; His mother, Babusha, also died at the hands of the powerful minister Yan Timur; For a long time after he ascended the throne, he was controlled by another powerful minister, Boyan, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, and in this world, it can be said that there is no second person, who understands the horror of the powerful minister better than him, and the Timurid brothers, at this moment, are one leading the army outside, the other is in charge of the government inside, and the protégés are all over the government and the opposition

"Who did the queen listen to, Tokhtar colluded with the Zhu butcher, is there any evidence, if not, whoever tells you these words in the future, you will directly order him to be killed," took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and Tuhuan Timur continued,

This is not to cover up the ears and steal the bell, but in order not to expose the suspicion between the monarch and the minister, after all, the fierce battle is in full swing ahead, there are more than 300,000 troops under the control of Tokhto, and there are more than 500,000 people along the way who are ready to be dispatched, relay to transport grain and grass, if there are any rumors and rumors to the front line, shake the hearts of the army, not to mention, in case of being forced to get rid of the corner, who knows what reckless things this person will do, it is not just a matter of yellow robes, if you don't get it right, the Great Yuan Dynasty will be wiped out in an instant,

"It was Xue Xue's sister Ao Dun who came to the palace tonight and secretly told the concubine, in a hurry, of course the concubine couldn't come up with any evidence," Queen Qi thought about it and lowered her head in response,

A fiery shadow immediately appeared in front of Timur's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, "You dare to listen to her words, when she does something, it doesn't rain when she sees the wind,"

Ao Dun is the youngest sister of Zhongshu Youcheng Hama, and her mother Bayar is the younger brother of Tuhuan Timur and the nurse of Emperor Ningzong's Yixuan class.

Ning Zong ascended the throne at the age of seven, reigned for fifty-three days and died young, and then Tuhuan Timur was brought back from exile and became the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, the power of the court was divided between the empress dowager Hongjira Bu Ta Shili and the powerful minister Yan Timur, the emperor was actually a puppet, and Tuhuan Timur and his father, Mingzong and Shi Ling, and his mother Ba Busha, all died in vain.

Therefore, Tuhuan Timur has always believed that his younger brother Yi Xuan was also killed in murder, as for why the Empress Dowager Hongji Bu Ta Lili and Quan Chen Yan Timur would attack the seven-year-old Yi Xuan class, it is because Yi Xuan is disobedient, and after being killed, there is also his brother who looks more obedient can become his substitute.

Therefore, deep in his heart, Tuhuan Timur always had a sense of guilt for his younger brother who died young, so he loved the house and Wu for his younger brother's nursing mother's family, and after he really took power, he took great pity on Hama, Xuexue, and Ao Dun, and gave their brothers and sisters the right to enter and leave the palace at will, and they were as close to each other as friends.

As the second queen of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Qi Shi of course knew that in her husband's mind, Ao Dun was a stupid girl with a straight heart and a big mouth, and her words were not convincing in the slightest, but she insisted that the more such a straight-eyed woman, the more selfish she was, thinking of this, she couldn't help but retort in a low voice: "Ao Dun's words, of course, may not be completely true, but the rumors have reached her ears, but Her Majesty has not heard anything, isn't this strange enough,"

"The ministers are all stable people, who will dare to tell you anything like Ao Dun," Tuhuan Timur smiled again and continued to shake his head,

"The ministers are afraid of retaliation, so they don't dare to say it," Qi also smiled, pouting and shaking his head,

Tuhuan Timur was speechless, and could only sigh in return,

There are some words, Ao Dun can say, but his two elder brothers Hama and Xue Xue can't say it, the words come out of Ao Dun's mouth, it is a woman's tongue to chew the root, even if it is wrong, it is not easy to delve into it, but it can be said from the mouth of the two people who are right in the middle book, Hama and Yushi Doctor Xue Xue, but they will immediately be counterattacked by a family of people who are not able to get rid of it, and if they don't get it, they will be accused of deliberately framing the important ministers of the court, and it is not enough to exile the whole family to Lingnan.

Therefore, he, the emperor, is sometimes a deaf and blind man, Tokhtar wants to set him up, and Timur wants to fool him first, and the other group of courtiers, at the moment, it seems to be loyal, who knows if they want to replace Tokhtar, will they do more than the latter, this court, it looks like a ball of harmony, in fact, every day is a sword and sword, no worse than the two armies in front of the formation,

"In any case, Your Majesty must be more careful," Qi knew the contradiction in Timur's heart, thought about it, slowed down his tone a little, and admonished softly, "It's almost August, and the expedition will be in April, the flood will be in Suixu in early May, and the troops will be in Huai'an in June, and then for three whole months, there will be no advance."

"If the Zhu butcher was so easy to destroy, he would not have beaten Yue Kuocha'er and the others before, and fled," Tuhuan Timur was suddenly furious, flicked down his sleeves, and responded sharply, "Don't say it, I won't commit the taboo of changing generals in battle because of the rumors outside, it will only cheapen the red turban thief, and it will never bring the slightest benefit to the court,"

"Concubines chasing the wind and catching shadows, separating monarchs and ministers, capital crimes, capital crimes," Queen Qi's face flushed, and she immediately bowed down, crying,

Different from other dynasties, the queen of the Great Yuan Dynasty has the right to promote foreign ministers, Zhongshu Pingzhang political affairs Yue Kuo Chaer has been walking her way, and Tuhuan Timur in order to get rid of the right to get rid of it, but also acquiesced to the Qi family in the court to install henchmen, but Yue Kuo Cha'er is really not angry, not even the Yellow River back then, was burned back by Zhao Jun with a fire, the guide zhì Qi heard her husband mention the name of this person, he felt weak and short of breath,

"You are for me, I know," Tuhuan Timur couldn't see Qi's tears the most, sighed, walked over, pulled the latter up with both hands, and hugged him into his arms, "But there are some things that I can't rush to, and Timur blocks the way of speech first, and gets rid of the dictatorship, I am actually as clear as a mirror in my heart, but, but compared to the extermination of the Zhu butcher, this, this is actually not a big deal, even if Boyan was so powerful in the world, in the end, I didn't clean him up,"

"Your Majesty is a genius," feeling the temperature in Timur's arms, Qi Shi snorted and responded faintly, "It's that the concubine is timid, and the concubine has nightmares in the middle of the night, and it's still when we were children in Goryeo, even a little guard dared to ask without asking, and in front of the concubine, the concubine's maid was cut in two,"

That unbearable period of time also left a heavy shadow in the heart of Tuhuan Timur, he sighed again, and responded faintly, "Don't worry, it is because I have experienced it, so I will not repeat my father's old path, my eyes have been staring at the south these days, and I have no less control than those outside,"

"Well, your majesty has already heard the rumors outside," Qi asked, tilting his head and blinking his watery eyes.

"No," Tuhuan Timur blushed and shook his head with a smile, "This has really not reached here, it must be the people below, I think it is too sensational,"

"Oh," Qi Shi said in a sudden realization, then smiled and continued to ask, "Then did your majesty ever know something more sensational, more than two months ago, Tokhtar suffered a great defeat at the foot of Mangdang Mountain,"

"More than two months ago, how could it be," Tuhuan Timur put Qi down, stood up, and walked back and forth irritably, "More than two months ago, didn't he just flood the 100,000 army of Sesame Li, how could he still suffer defeat at Mangdang Mountain,"

"The concubine heard that at that time, Sesame Li was forced into Mangdang Mountain, and she was already tied up," Qi stood up, his eyes followed the back of Tuhuan Timur, "As a result, the main force did not move, and let Chahan Timur bring the gourd soldiers to fight, who expected that Chahan Timur sent 10,000 troops over, and in the end less than 100 people fled back,"

"Well," Tuhuan Timur's brows jumped, and two cold lights immediately flashed in his eyes, "Who are you listening to, isn't Chahan Timur a person from Yuekuochaer, why didn't Yuekuochaer report it?"

The news was provided by Yue Kuo Cha'er, and it had been privately confirmed by Xue Xue, and it was absolutely reliable, but the Qi family couldn't be honest with her husband about the source of the news, thought about it, and responded in a low voice, "The concubine body is listening to what Pu Buhua said, he, he, Your Majesty You also know that Huai'an is now producing a kind of jar jade mirror, which is deeply sought after by the women in the capital, and Pu Buhua's clansmen want to buy one side and sacrifice it to the concubine, but on the Huai'an side, I just happened to watch Zhu Butcher escort the captives into the city,"

"Well,,," Tuhuan Timur trembled with anger, the glass mirror, the slap is a big piece in the capital, it can be sold for more than 10,000 guan, Pu Buhua and others are not enemies, what is it,

However, he couldn't arrest Pu Buhua and punish him, because not only did the two queens have glass mirrors in their hands right now, but the capital city was a powerful courtier's house, and they all bought more than one piece, if he thought about it seriously, even if he emptied the entire court, I am afraid it would not be enough for one-tenth of the total number of mirrors in the capital.

Qi Shi had already figured out Tuhuan Timur's temper, smiled, and continued to add, "Then the concubine secretly paid attention and asked Pu Buhua to send someone to investigate in detail, but after a check, I found out that the reason why Chahan Timur did not report this matter was because Tokhan was afraid of shaking the army's heart, so he was not allowed to report, and the reason why Tokhtar was able to recover Xuzhou, Suining and other places was also because Zhu Chongjiu took the initiative to abandon these places and withdrew to the east of the Huai River with the army and the people,"

"It is also a great achievement to force Zhu Butcher to take the initiative to retreat," Tuhuan Timur forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and commented, he could hear that Qi was deliberately attacking Toto, he could also hear it, Qi's words were basically true, before Toto, he was indeed falsely reporting his military exploits and covering up his defeats, but why did Tokh do this, why did he keep himself in the dark as an emperor, was he afraid that he would not give him full support, he regarded himself as an emperor, as an old fool, is still a raw melon egg who has just ascended the throne and has no experience in governance,

When he was so angry that his eyes were black, he heard Qi sigh again, and added faintly, "The concubine also heard that Totoh and Zhu Tuhu were once on the Huai River, across the river, and changed boats, and he used the captured red turban thieves Fu Youde, Liu Ju, Wang Guoding and other thieves to exchange Cai Ziying, Kuangkuo Timur and Deyuan Timur under Chahan, as well as Naiman Buhua, Baiyin Buhua, Li Dayan, etc., and the people who were exchanged back on both sides were unharmed."
