Chapter 66 Tonghuai (II)

Some people can only tell the difference between right and wrong when they reach the end of the road. After practicing the secret method of "playing butterflies" for many years, Tuhuan Timur is undoubtedly one of them.

After a few sighs, Boyan Hudu's various benefits over the years instantly filled his heart. From the day of the founding of the country, the queen was qualified to recommend or directly appoint officials belonging to her own faction, and even the Qi family, a Goryeo woman, had many ears and minions in the court, but Boyan Hudu did not; The successive queens of the Great Yuan Dynasty would control various industries such as royal granges and shops, and constantly accepted gifts from courtiers. The successive queens of the Great Yuan Dynasty were all extravagant, and the collection of gold, silver, pearls and jade was not enough

Tuhuan Timur even clearly remembered that one year during the Shangyuan Festival, he gathered all the concubines and princes together for a family reunion, and the Qi family once mocked Boyan Hudu in front of him for being shabby and looking like a milking herdsman, rather than the mother of a country. Everyone present laughed and laughed, and as a husband, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Qi's words at that time. Boyan only shook his head lightly, without a single explanation or refutation.

Now that I think about it, if it weren't for the excessive persecution of the emperor and the Qi family, as the first empress, why would Boyan Hudu, as the first empress, suffer from himself! In the folk, knowing that her husband has already had the heart of divorce from his wife, and the concubine is ready to take the throne at any time, which woman is still in the mood to insert her head full of jewelry?

"Swing, I'm going" Suddenly feeling so guilty that he couldn't help himself, Timur jumped up and commanded loudly. Halfway through the words, he found that he had forgotten the name of Boyan Hudu's dormitory, and the whole person suddenly stiffened again, and large beads of sweat were dripping all over his head.

"There is a decree in the Holy Order, set up the Kunde Temple-!" The chief eunuch Gao Wenguo reacted very quickly, and with the half sentence of Tuhuan Timur, he guessed where he wanted to go.

"Yes!" Four eunuchs and four palace maids poured in from outside the Dongnuan Palace, taking the mink fur and holding the arm, hugging Tuhuan Timur and walking out.

"Get out of here, I'm not going to be able to walk yet!" Tuhuan Timur suddenly lost his temper again, slapped one by one, and slapped the two eunuchs who tried to support him half a foot away.

The two little eunuchs didn't know what they were doing wrong, so they were so frightened that they immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed. When Tuhuan Timur saw it, he couldn't help but sigh again, "Alas-! Waste, all waste! You all get out of here, I'm too lazy to take care of you today. Follow behind, don't think I'm already seventy or eighty. ”

With that, he lifted his legs and strode forward. After walking a hundred and twenty or thirty steps, he found that his breathing was as thick as an ox.

Before forty, he has become very forgetful, and before forty, his legs and feet have begun to stagger. When he first practiced the secret method of acting as a butterfly, the monk clearly said that this technique can prolong life, and even rise and fall with heaven and earth when cultivated to the extreme, and never fall into reincarnation again. And now

Those so-called high monks turned out to be all liars! They came into the palace, one for a rich reward, and the other for the sake of sharing countless beauties with the emperor. How can they be so shameless? How dare they be so shameless?

In an instant, more sweat rolled down Timur's forehead, almost wetting his collar and chest. He's not stupid in any sense of the word. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to eradicate the power minister Boyan, kill the queen mother who hung the curtain, and slaughter so many people who tried to get involved in the royal power one by one. However, after suddenly sobering up, he was shocked to find how ridiculous and shameless his life has been in recent years!

Held an uncovered meeting with other men, and even wanted to pull his wife. Even in the folk, men who are so cheap are rare! Thinking about it like this, what is wrong with Qi abandoning him? The crown prince plotted against and seized the throne, what is there to blame? Even Li Siqi may hardly be regarded as a traitor. Although he teamed up with He Weiwei to kill all the monks in the palace and snatched all the women who had been touched by the monks. But, after all, he gave me a chance to live and reflect. Otherwise, if I continue to cultivate, I'm afraid it won't take me two years before I die in Huangquan.

"I, I, I" Unconsciously, Tuhuan Timur took the initiative to put his arm on Gao Wenguo's shoulder, his legs were weak, and his upper and lower teeth kept colliding.

"Your Majesty, the Kunde Hall will be here soon!" Gao Wenguo didn't understand why Tuhuan Timur had become like this, so he took the initiative to bend down a little bit, and at the same time whispered comfort.

Although the weather had warmed up and he was still wearing a thick mink coat, Tuhuan Timur was shivering with cold. The little clothes that were soaked with sweat before were sticky to his body, making every step he took felt like falling into an ice cave.

"I know, I know! I, no, I can't go see her now. Turn around and send me back to the East Warm Pavilion! No, I, I'd better go now. No, I need to drink first, drink first, drink a bowl of hot, hot milk tea! Trembling, he muttered an order. In the blink of an eye, the mind had changed many times, and in the end, he stopped his steps and refused to take another half step forward.

"Turn around and go back to the East Warm Pavilion. Tell the imperial dining room to boil milk tea now! Gao Wenguo had no choice but to lead the eunuchs and palace maids and help him go back. After only a dozen more steps, Tuhuan Timur turned around again and muttered, "Forget it, let's go see her." I've got, I've come here! ”

"Get up and go to the Kunde Palace!" Gao Wenguo was stunned, smiled wryly and gave orders again.

This time, Tuhuan Timur finally did not change his mind, and was surrounded by everyone and walked forward. After a short time, he came to the dormitory of the first queen, Boyan Hudu.

A palace maid had already sent a message to Boyan Hudu in advance, reminding her to go out of the door. The husband and wife suddenly met, and they were slightly stunned by each other, feeling like they were in a different world.

"You, you're older than before, it's the original!" Mu Ran entered the house, and after being stunned for a long time, Tuhuan Timur suddenly burst out of a sentence, and then his face turned red.

Although he is not sick, in fact, his current state is no different from that of a person who has just recovered from a serious illness. The brain is also bright from time to time, and things are wooden. I want to think that when Boyan suddenly married him, he was just in his prime. After fourteen or fifteen years of hard work in the Kunde Palace, how could he still maintain a girlish appearance? And who is the negative man who tortured her to the point of premature aging? If it weren't for the sudden betrayal of the Qi clan, how could he still think of Boyan Hudu, the first queen, in his life?

"Is there a man in the world who is not old? Besides, the concubine is a Mongolian woman, and she is born to age faster than the Han family and Goryeo women! Boyan Hudu had already seen everything, smiled at him, and responded softly.

The grassland climate is harsh and survival is difficult. Therefore, Mongolian women are like apricot blossoms, blooming early, blooming enthusiastically, and withering in a hurry. This is almost a well-known fact in the capital. But how can a woman in the palace be compared to an ordinary shepherd woman? Their diet and living conditions are stronger than shepherd women, and more than 100 times stronger than the daughters of ordinary Han families.

As a result, a well-intentioned explanation not only failed to ease Timur's guilt. On the contrary, his face became more and more ruddy, as if he was about to drip blood. "I, I am negative in this life, negative in this life, I owe you a lot!"

"Your Majesty, what's the point of saying this now? After all, you and I are no longer young!" Bo Yan was suddenly amused by his reckless actions, and his eyes actually showed a bit of maternal tenderness. "Besides, state affairs are already so difficult, if Your Majesty has that energy, it is better to think about how to deal with the current crisis. As for the concubine, since she was a child, there have been elders who have calculated that the concubine's life is hard, and it is already satisfied to have a house to shelter from the wind and rain, and she has long been out of luxury for more! ”

"This, this" Tuhuan Timur heard this, and was eager to find a crack in the ground, plunge into it and never come out again. Isn't it too late to be left out in the cold from the age of sixteen to the age of thirty, and only now to hear a few words of repentance? Besides, even if he, the emperor, sincerely repented, could he still treat her well for a few days? I'm afraid that in less than three months, the Huai'an army will hit outside the capital. In the end, apart from accompanying himself to death, what else can Boyan Hudu leave behind?

"Your Majesty, you don't have to think about it, we Mongolian women have always been married to whoever we marry, and we will follow in this life. The rich and the poor will accept their fate. Seeing that Tuhuan Timur was embarrassed and speechless, Boyan suddenly smiled and continued to whisper comfort. It's just a concubine, and I knew that Your Majesty was wrong a long time ago, and I was not a bloody brave person for a while. That's why I want to persuade Your Majesty to make plans as soon as possible, lest in case the battle situation is unfavorable, and you won't have time to go out of the hunting fortress, stay in the city and look up to people everywhere! ”

The so-called non-reckless blood and brave people actually mean that Timur was timid, with more than feminine temperament and insufficient masculinity. The so-called "in case the war situation is unfavorable, stay in the city and look up to people everywhere", in fact, it means that Tuhuan Timur cannot be a prisoner, and once he becomes a prisoner, he will definitely wag his tail and beg for mercy. Bo Yanhu tried his best to express these two meanings vaguely and tactfully, saving enough face for his nominal husband. However, the voice lagged behind, and it still made the other party so ashamed that he almost covered his face and fled.

"You, you don't know!" Refusing to meet Boyan Hudu anymore, Tuhuan Timur stared at the ground, gasping **, "You don't know anything." They, the few of them, will not allow me to make any decisions. I, I had already planned to hand over the throne to the crown prince, but my holy decree could not pass through Zhongshu Province, and I wanted to make a central decree, but I couldn't send out the capital! ”

Almost for the first time in his life, he was willing to sit down and discuss the government with Boyan Hudu. Unexpectedly, the news that came out was so helpless. Na Boyan suddenly listened, first frowned slightly, and then, his eyes slowly probed the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids, and after finding enough affirmative hints from the latter's face, he began to smile and shake his head again, "Snort! These guys are really daring. I even did the thing of hijacking the holy car. However, can these people really be completely single-minded, in the opinion of the concubines, it should be difficult, right?! ”

"You go out, all go out, twenty steps away from the palace gate, no one is allowed to approach unless it is the call of me and the queen!" Tuhuan Timur shuddered in his heart, and hurriedly began to clear the scene loudly. "Gao Wenguo, don't go. You're standing in the doorway. If someone dares to approach me without listening to me, you, you will immediately give me a few coughs! ”

"Yes!" The chief eunuch Gao Wenguo couldn't cry or laugh, bowed down, and went out backwards.

Tuhuan Timur took the initiative to send it to the door and closed the door of the dormitory with his own hands. He cautiously walked to the window and looked around several times before slowly walking back, and said in a low voice: "I won't tell you, they must not be in the same place." That fixed the pillar. He is stupid, knowing that he may not be able to beat the Zhu butcher, but he would rather drag me to die with them than allow me to go to Jining to defect to the prince. And Li Siqi, Wang Jianu and Yue Kuocha'er, I'm afraid they each have their own ways out. Especially the father and son of the Wang family, their Wang family has been running Shaanxi for generations, and their protégés are everywhere. Even if they go to the prince's side, for the sake of Shaanxi's reinforcements and money and food, it is estimated that no one will dare to do anything to them! ”

"Then, why didn't Your Majesty announce that the Wang family slave entered the palace earlier?" Unexpectedly, Tuhuan Timur was frightened into such a look, and Boyan suddenly frowned again. This is the same as the eradication of Boyan and the killing of the Empress Dowager Bu Da Li, Tuhuan Timur, which is completely two people, completely beyond the limit of her imagination. However, after so many years, she has long been accustomed to disappointment, although she is a little uncomfortable, but she will not be disappointed more. "Could it be that Your Majesty still wants to see if they can win against Zhu Butcher?"

"I can't help it, I really can't help it!" Tuhuan Timur stomped his feet and gritted his teeth. "I told you that I don't want to be an emperor anymore. Deliver early and unload out, and fall early and be light. Although the prince is not filial, I don't have a single soldier at hand, and he doesn't have to send me back to the west to be at ease. But although Wang Jianu's father and son have strong reinforcements in Shaanxi, there are few people available in the capital. And He Weiwei and Li Siqi, one has mastered my cowardice, and the other has 100,000 tigers and wolves. If I don't keep things secret, I will be noticed by the two of them. They may not be able to kill me, but they may not be like the murder of the monks that day, and they will wash the palace again! ”

"It turns out that Your Majesty still cares about the life and death of the concubine!" Boyan suddenly listened, and his heart swelled with a little relief. "But then Li Siqi and He Weiwei, you can't stare at Your Majesty all day long, right?! The concubine listened to the palace maids' discussions, saying that Zhu Tuhu's soldiers and horses were about to hit Texas. Aren't they ready to face Yu Dao, but have been squatting in the capital, waiting for the Zhu butcher to come to the door?! ”

"Well, isn't that right?" Tuhuan Timur thought about it, and finally shook his head calmly. "The grain stored in the capital city is still accumulated by Hama at the beginning. If it is full, it will be enough for the army to eat for another three months. And once Zhu Tuhu's soldiers and horses pass through Zhuozhou, there is no need to fight at all, and Tongzhou, Lugou Bridge and Longqingzhou in the north will be blocked, and the people in the capital will have to starve to death! ”

I've been an emperor for decades, and I've never eaten pork or seen a pig run. After a little pondering from the enemy's point of view, he categorically overturned the possibility of holding the capital. At present, the capital lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people. And there is no shortage of hereditary nobles who can't do anything but eat and drink. was really besieged by Zhu Tuhu's soldiers and horses, I am afraid that if the food is not exhausted, someone will take the initiative to rebel in the city and cooperate with Xu Da and other thieves.

"Then why doesn't Your Majesty take the initiative to boost morale and let Li Siqi, He Weiwei and others go south to face the traitors as soon as possible?!" As the saying goes, the bystanders are confused, and the authorities are clear. After listening to Tuhuan Timur's analysis, Boyan suddenly made a move and pointed out the direction of his next efforts.

"Then, isn't that a send, a death for them?!" Tuhuan Timur shuddered and instinctively retorted loudly. "They have no chance of winning. Going south to face the battle, there was almost no danger to defend from Texas to the north, and Xu Da newly collected 70,000 remnants of soldiers who were too cheap. The enemy army is now almost twice the size of our army, how can He Weiwei and Li Siqi win the battle?! ”

"Your Majesty, whisper, you were worried about the ears of the partition wall just now!" Boyan suddenly smiled and reminded in a low voice.

"Ahh Tuhuan Timur jumped up like a frightened rabbit and ran to the window to look around again. After being sure that no one was secretly approaching, he hurriedly walked up to Boyan Hudu and said in a lower voice, "If you can't win the battle, He Wei doesn't know how to fight at all." Li Siqi is a little stronger than him, but the number of soldiers and horses is too small. Even if the 3,000 loyal and righteous national salvation troops in Li Hanqing's hands are added, it is impossible to block Xu Da's blow. ”

"But Your Majesty said before, if you stay in the capital, you will also sit and wait to die!" Boyan suddenly smiled again, with a bit of mockery in his eyes.

"I, I did. But, but I "Tu Huan Timur muttered for a long time, and there was nothing to say. The whole army went to war, which was equivalent to urging the only one and Li Siqi to die. Sticking to the capital, I can't look forward to the Yuan soldiers on the prince's side, and in the end, everyone will die together. Rather than die together, it's better

Suddenly, he understood what Boyan Hudu meant. Jumping up excitedly, he hugged the other party's shoulders with both hands, "You mean, you mean to let me break them apart, and then find a way to contact Wang Jianu's father and son, and go out together to hunt Jining?!" You, you are really my lucky star, a man in my dreams! ”

"The emperor has won the award, the concubine, the concubine just doesn't want the emperor and the concubine to fall into the hands of the enemy!" Boyan suddenly shook his shoulders lightly and broke free of his hands. "The concubine body is not to make Your Majesty angry, and deliberately mention those unhappy pasts. Concubine"

Reluctant to smile, she said miserably: "The concubine has been a nominal queen for so many years, but she doesn't want to come, but she fell into the hands of the thief and was treated as a woman who died in the country." The concubine didn't want to go to Jining, to join the mother and son. If you can leave Dadu safely, the concubine wants to ask His Majesty for favors, and I ask Your Majesty for permission."

"You say, I promise. I'll say yes! Tuhuan Timur was panicked by the desolation on the other party's face. Blushing, he interrupted in a low voice.

"The concubine wants to go to Lingbei. The concubine heard her father say that the concubine's hometown is in Dalainuoer, and the scenery is picturesque. The concubine has never been there, if His Majesty is gracious, the concubine wants to go back to her hometown to take a look and live there for a long time! Boyan squatted down and bowed slowly.

The lake has shrunk rapidly in the past two decades, but it still covers more than 2,000 square kilometers. Beautiful women were produced here, and at the end of the Song Dynasty, the tribal leaders befriended Temujin.
