Chapter 5: Loyalty and Adultery
"Hmm" Tuhuan Timur sighed and nodded, when he really calmed down, he didn't really believe that Tokhtar would collude with Zhu Tuhu, but now he wanted to take Tokhtar, but it was not because Tokhtar colluded with the enemy chief to rebel, but Tokhtar already had all the conditions and qualifications for rebellion, and he had to take precautions.
He himself knows this, and the other three here must also know it.
The imperial dining room in the palace has always been prepared for fire around the clock, and soon, a pot of steaming milk tea was brought up by the little eunuch in the dining room, and Tuhuan Timur drank a bowl by himself, and also asked the eunuch to pour a bowl for the two brothers Hama and Xuexue, with a little emotion and ordered, "Drink, this is the tea brick that Dong Junxiao specially sent someone to offer from the sea, since the canal was occupied by the Zhu thief, it is not easy for me to drink good tea." β
"Thank you." The two brothers, Hama and Xuexue, thanked the reward, took the tea bowl and drank it in a big gulp, and then comforted in unison, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Zhu thief is already in the waning days, and he is about to disappear." β
"I hope so." Tuhuan Timur nodded tiredly, in addition to worrying about the self-respect of the army, he was also worried that once he moved off, he would give Zhu Butcher a chance to breathe, and the situation that he finally moved back might be messed up again.
Thinking of this, with some expectations, he tentatively asked Hama, "If you still can't successfully exterminate the Zhu butcher after a month of detachment, I will send you to replace him, are you sure?" β
"In the humble opinion of Wei Chen, the light soldiers in his hands are more than three times the strength of all the forces under the command of Zhu Thief, and the firearms are no longer much worse than the other party as before. Hama immediately shuddered in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at Tuhuan Timur, lowered his head, and talked about other things.
He has always been self-aware, so many experienced generals have lost to Zhu Butcher, and if he is replaced, how can he create a miracle, the most secure strategy, of course, is to rush up first, and fight with Zhu Butcher to lose both, and then he will see the opportunity to pick peaches.
"Hehe, I don't believe that Zhu Butcher is really an immortal." Tuhuan Timur didn't hear the answer he wanted, smiled and lowered his head, slowly sipping tea,
The tea dumplings produced in Liangzhejiang are made with milk, butter, salt and other substances, and the aroma is very strong, but the green and astringent taste of the new tea can't be suppressed, so that every time people drink it, there is a bitter taste lingering in their hearts.
"But Your Majesty should not be taken lightly, it is best to let Dong Luxiao in Jiangnan also move and harass the Zhu thief, in addition, since Badulu has successfully swept away Meng Haima, you might as well take advantage of the situation to advance eastward, and create more pressure on Xu Shouhui and Liu Futong, so that none of them can spare their hands to support Zhu Butcher, and it is time for King Xuan and King Weishun to come out, they can't deal with Zhu Eighty-one, and they can't even beat Zhu Sixty-four." Knowing that his answer could not satisfy Tuhuan Timur, Hama thought about it and continued to add.
"Well, you have a lot of truth in what you say." Tuhuan Timur casually said perfunctory, meaning to be happy.
The same strategy, I discussed it with him face to face before he set out on the expedition, Hama is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, compared to the former, the latter is 108,000 miles away in terms of strategy, responsibility and execution ability, the only benefit is to make people feel at ease, no matter when they want to take him down, it is easy, not as fearful as dealing with Tokhtar.
Seeing that Tuhuan Timur's interest still couldn't be raised, Hama thought about it and continued to add, "This is also another reason why the minister previously dissuaded His Majesty from being in a hurry to get rid of it, if he can let him put down the Zhu butcher and kill a group of people by violent means, and then send a civil official to clean up the two Huai, it will be easier, in addition, with the merit of begging for thieves, if His Majesty wants to give Tak a chance to be a rich idler, the ministers must not be able to say anything." β
"What Aiqing said is very true." Tuhuan Timur spit on the tea bowl and nodded his head in Yixing, "If he didn't intend to rebel, even if there were all kinds of mistakes, I would remember his merits and let him grow old safely." β
"Your Majesty is magnanimous, those who have ill intentions, they really deserve to die of shame." Ha Ma and Xue Xue stood up again and slapped their asses in unison.
There has always been no shortage of sycophants in the palace, and Timur had long been numb to this, waved his hand, and ordered with a smile, "Okay, we monarchs and ministers, you don't need these, you work hard, I will naturally make you rich and noble for a lifetime, it's not too early, drink a bowl of milk tea, and then go back to rest." β
"Thank you for your sympathy." Hama and Xue Xue hurriedly dried the milk tea poured by the little eunuch again, and then bowed and retired.
The two brothers were keenly aware that their appearance tonight did not satisfy Tuhuan Timur, so they were both preoccupied, and no one could lift the spirit to speak, until they left the palace and climbed on horseback, Xue Xue let out a long breath and complained in a low voice, "Big brother, why didn't you refuse to take over the things arranged by the emperor just now, and seize the military power of liberation earlier, didn't you live in peace earlier, and the emperor will also take a more fancy to you." β
"You still need to say this, the question is that I have to have that ability." Ha Ma glanced at his younger brother fiercely, responded suddenly, and then glanced at the group of soldiers who came up with him, and ordered very unhappily, "Get out of the way for me, our brothers have to discuss the things explained by the emperor, who thinks that they are living too nourishing, just come to the front and eavesdrop." β
"Yes, sir." The soldiers turned pale with fright, and quickly pulled the reins of the war horse.
Hama slammed the horse's belly and let the mount run first, while Xue Xue rode his horse to follow, and the two brothers ran a mile through the dark streets before they grabbed the reins.
"Whew." Hama breathed into the sky, as if he wanted to spray all the thoughts that had accumulated in his body outside.
"Whew." Xue Xue also exhaled in the same way as Hama, then jumped off the mount and gently pulled the reins of the horse for her brother.
The brothers looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly, laughing, laughing, and there were tears in their eyes.
"The eldest brother is afraid, Tokhoff is forced to be in a hurry, and he will really rebel." Raising his hand and wiping it on his face, Xue Xue asked faintly.
"Tokh will not rebel." Ha Ma Xun wiped the corners of his eyes and shook his head vigorously, "This, I can only tell you alone, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, if there is only the last loyal minister left, he will definitely take off, he will not rebel, even if the emperor gives him a cup of poisonous wine, he will not hesitate to drink it, he is a person, he is crazy to read Han books, and believes that 'if the king lets the minister die, the minister will have to die,'"
"Then, what are you worried about, big brother, just replace him." Hearing this, the second monk Xue Xue Yue was puzzled, and looked at Hama with blank eyes, waiting for the following.
"Be quiet." Hama scolded unhappily, looked back at the distance between the soldiers and himself, and carefully searched the side of the road to make sure that there was no third pair of ears listening, and then frowned and explained, "I'm afraid that the emperor won't give him death, if you can't kill him at once, we two brothers will be in big trouble." β
"What do you say?" Xue Xue was startled, and quickly looked around, asking in a low voice.
"Do you remember the last time he was deposed, the emperor was at that time, and he actually didn't trust him anymore." Ha Ma smiled, his face full of helplessness, "But later, there was no one in his hands, and the emperor had to reinstate him again, and those guys who figured out the emperor's intentions and fell into the hole for him, which one got a good result." β
"This" Xue Xue suddenly felt a tingle on her scalp, and her face turned pale in the blink of an eye.
Tuhuan Timur didn't take responsibility, he had already seen this clearly, including asking him to get rid of the power around him tonight, this person also said ugly things to the front, if he was taken off, he would take responsibility for himself, and he hoped that the emperor would take this matter on his shoulders.
And this time, if the two brothers don't kill Totok, and one day the emperor changes his mind, remembers Totok's ability, and reactivates it, the two brothers will definitely end up like those who framed Tokhtar before.
"The emperor has not endured it for a day or two." Seeing that his younger brother finally understood his thoughts, Hama shook his head and added with a miserable smile, "If I dare to pat my chest with the emperor today, saying that I can put down the rebellion, no matter how we told him about the harm of changing generals in battle, it won't be long before he will definitely let me replace Toto, and at this moment, in his heart, the hatred for Tokhtar is far from Cheng DΓΉ, who must put the other party to death, at most, like last time, he seized Totok's military power, let him think about it behind closed doors." β
"And in case I take over the stall of Totokh, but I can't defeat the butcher of Zhu quickly, in a hurry, the emperor will definitely have to use Tokhtar again, at that time, the two of our brothers will be charged with the crime, but let Tokhoff be at will, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, no one will stand up and say good things for us, the emperor himself, and forget what he said tonight."
"Then, big brother, what the hell should we do, it's not a matter to perfunctory the emperor like tonight." Xue Xue was sweating on her forehead when she heard this, and her face turned pale to ask for countermeasures.
"Take your time, wait for the emperor to make his own moves, in this flagship, our brothers can make preparations with both hands." Ha Ma thought for a while, and slowly raised a finger, "First, it is like what I hinted to the emperor today, let Totoku first raze the Zhu butcher, and then our brothers will pick the fruit, so that as long as Liu Futong and the others do not toss too many tricks in the future, there is not much chance of Totoku's recovery, and our brothers firmly control the military power, which can naturally ensure the wealth and safety of the family." β
"Second." Seeing that Xue Xue didn't seem to understand, he raised another finger, "It's our brothers, waiting for Tokhoff to defeat the battle, as long as he really loses the last game, even if he only loses one or two thousand horses, far from the time when he hurts his muscles and bones, the emperor's patience with him will be completely over, and at that time, those people he has offended before will rush out to impeach him, as long as our brothers burn another fire, they can directly take his life, and then no matter how the situation unfolds next, even if the Red Turban Army has crossed the Yellow River, We brothers don't have to worry about reprisals anymore. β
"This, how is it possible?" Xue Xue grinned and continued to smile bitterly, "He brought 300,000 soldiers alone, and Dong Junxiao, Xuanrang Wang and others assisted him, even if he couldn't take Huai'an for a while, he wouldn't suffer any big losses, he was free, and he was the first cautious person in the dynasty." β
"It is precisely because he is a detachment that he will lose the battle, and the loss of that kind of battle is not very big, but it is enough to make His Majesty think that he is raising a thief and losing the battle." Hama looked around again, and his voice was lowered, "If you, me, and anyone in the court and the central government go to lead the troops, they will cross the Yellow River with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, either a big victory or a big defeat, there is no third possibility, and the detachment is otherwise, he wants to fight and achieve all the success, so he will not give Zhu Chongjiu any chance, he would rather step by step, slowly consume Zhu Chongjiu to death, than do any gambling." β
"Then how could he still lose, could it be that Zhu Chongjiu really knows how to do witchcraft." The more Xue Xue listened, the more confused she became, frowning and asking.
"Because on our side, someone will help you." Hama shook his head and sneered, "You should know that the two brothers are self-proclaimed to be fair and honest, and over the years, they have offended people, a while ago, there were Liu Futong, Sesame Li, Zhu Chongjiu, these external threats, everyone is afraid of losing the country, so no one will tear off the hind legs, and now the life and death of Sesame Li are unpredictable, Liu Futong has his own eight gambles to deal with it, Zhu Chongjiu is also seeing that it is going to be finished, and everyone will let him get rid of it and continue to earn all the credit alone, so, the tricks that should be played, there will be no less, However, Zhu Butcher is a particularly good at winning in defeat, if someone on the court side creates an opportunity for him, before he dies, he jumps up and bites off a big mouthful, for him, it is not too difficult, in this way, it is equivalent to the court and Zhu Butcher joining forces to deal with Takoff, even if he is covered in iron and gets a few nails, he will definitely suffer a big loss, and he will knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and then the time for our brother to appear on the stage will come. β
"Ah,,γh Xue Xue gasped and instantly understood all the causes and consequences.
It was the height of the fire, but he felt that a cold wind blew down from the sky and blew into his bone marrow.
These two brothers have been in control of the government in recent years, and they have indeed formed countless enemies, but in order to get out of their anger, they sent tens of thousands of brothers to the butcher's butcher's knife of the Zhu butcher in vain, is this still done by a wise man, they, they are all Mongolians who are like a fake, and the Mongolians in the whole world are only how many together, so send it down, that is, the final success of destroying the Zhu butcher, the Great Yuan Dynasty can hold on for a few more days,
