Chapter 102: The Dusty Past
However, after thinking about it a hundred times, I can't figure it out, Yuan Huizong, as the son of today, knows that the national master of Bilba wants to refine the Yin Wind Bead in Chang'an City, how can he be so risky with the respect of the Son of Heaven?
Just thinking about it, Tokhtar and his party had already passed through Zichen Gate and came to the harem.
When they came to the harem, although they were the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, they did not dare to ride a horse, and the group jumped off the horse, hurriedly stepped through the Zichen Palace, and came to the Taiye Pool.
Ye Boyu and the others didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear of being detected. Yuan Gang waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Go, follow." β
Myoko Zen Master originally planned to gather in Chang'an today and break through the gallant Xuanyin Soul Devouring Array, but he didn't expect things to develop to such a point, and now there are many suspicions, it seems that he can only take one step at a time to see if he can find out the key clues from Toto.
At that moment, Zen Master Myoko nodded, and everyone hid their bodies together, following behind Totoku and the others. Ye Boyu put a large array of Yimu, hiding everyone's mana and body shape in the forest, mixing it with the thousands of trees in the imperial garden.
After passing the Zichen Palace, with a wave of his hand, the entourage behind him all stopped and stood outside the Zihuan Palace. Tokhtar enters the inner palace alone. There are also thousands of households in the inner palace, not to mention thousands of rooms. I saw that I didn't hesitate, turned around, bypassed the Taiye Pool, and entered a small attic next to the stream.
Ye Boyu and the others looked up, only to see three big characters on the attic "Cold Ice Palace", this Cold Ice Palace is a very inconspicuous place, usually only when the emperor and the concubines take a break in the cold, occasionally stay for a while, Yuan Huizong has never slept in the Cold Ice Palace.
Ye Boyu repeated his old tricks, and a guiding Gu quietly stopped under the shadow of the window of the Cold Ice Palace.
"Holy Lord, why are you here?" Toto's voice reached everyone's ears crisply, full of surprise.
Yuan Huizong's clear voice also came out, "Take off Aiqing, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but the matter is very important, and I can't tell everyone Aiqing." β
"Holy Lord, what is the matter?" Totoku's surprise was even heavier, "What is so anxious, you asked Weichen to hurry up for eight hundred miles." β
Yuan Huizong didn't speak, and after a long time, he spread out a picture from the bookcase, sighed, and said, "Tokhtok Aiqing, come forward and see what this is?"
Tokh seemed to hesitate, but he still kowtowed, stood up, slowly walked to Yuan Huizong's side, and looked down at the bookcase.
Everyone could only see the figures of Yuan Huizong and Totoku in the house through the guide Gu, but as for what was on the bookcase, they couldn't see it.
"Ahh
Ye Boyu and the others were also very curious in their hearts, and they didn't know what Yuan Huizong had made Tofu see, so that the generalissimo who commanded millions of soldiers and generals in the world was so surprised.
"Holy Lord, this, what is this?" After half a cup of tea, he pointed to the book case and stammered, "Who is this dedicated to the Holy One?"
Yuan Huizong didn't answer immediately, he sighed again, walked back and forth in the hall a few times, and then said as he walked: "Take off Aiqing, don't hide it." I asked you to come to Chang'an City to see me overnight, just to discuss this matter. β
Hearing what Yuan Huizong said, he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "In this life, Tokhtar is bound to follow the saint with death, and if the saint has anything, just give orders." β
Yuan Huizong shook his head, stretched out his hand to help Aiqing up, and said in a low voice: "Aiqing, you have always been my most trusted minister, if it weren't for the earth-shattering and difficult to adjudicate major events, I wouldn't have let Aiqing work so hard." β
"Could it be that this is the idea of the Gallant National Master again?" the Qing Jing on his forehead burst out, and he said excitedly, "Holy Lord, you won't have already adopted his opinion." When asked the last sentence, there was a slight tremor in Toto's voice.
Yuan Huizong lowered his head and sighed before he raised his head and said slowly: "Take off Aiqing." This matter was given to me by the national teacher of the gall, and I also agreed to his suggestion. β
"What, Your Majesty, you said you agreed with his suggestion. His eyes seemed to bulge out of his sockets, and his hands trembled with hunger in the sleeves of his robe, "Could it be that these suggestions of his have already been arranged for you to be implemented?"
Ye Boyu and the others glanced at each other, and they had vaguely understood the reason why Yuan Huizong summoned Totok in Chang'an City overnight, but no one understood why Yuan Huizong did this.
Sure enough, Yuan Huizong said in a low voice: "Aiqing guessed right, I have indeed passed on the secret decree and launched the Yin Wind Bead Project. β
As if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, his tall body suddenly shrank to the side, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.
For a long time, the two of them had been silent, and the only sound in the entire hall was the sound of heavy breathing and the sound of Yuan Huizong pacing back and forth.
Ye Boyu felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, at this time, where did the national teacher of Bile go to? If he suddenly returned to Daming Palace, what should he do?
I don't know how long it has been, but Ye Boyu is a little impatient. There was another sound of rustling in the hall, Ye Boyu hurriedly looked again, only to see Yuan Huizong take out a drawing from his sleeve and stack it on the drawing just now.
"Totok Aiqing, you, you don't have to worry too much. This plan has not yet been fully implemented. Yuan Huizong pointed to the newly put drawings and said.
"What?" Hearing this, he felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and he jumped up suddenly, came to the bookcase, and looked at Yuan Huizong's fingers, "Holy Lord, what is this, what is this?" β
Yuan Huizong let out a long breath, and his voice was very small, but what he said was an earth-shattering event.
"Ten years ago, I had just ascended the throne, at that time, the emperor left two four old ministers, some of these four old ministers resolutely supported me, and some strongly opposed my accession to the throne. Yuan Huizong said slowly, word by word.
In that year, Yuan Ningzong died, and the Empress Dowager Bu Da Li ordered to stand up for only a catty. Tuhuan Timur, now Yuan Huizong, was opposed by Zuo Prime Minister Yan Temur, so he did not succeed to the throne until June of the following year.
Later, Yan Tiemur's son Tang Qishi rebelled, and it was not until three years later, that is, in the third year of Zhizheng, that is, that it was put down. However, at that time, the right prime minister Boyan was very powerful, and he actually controlled the government, and even did not take Yuan Huizong in his eyes for a while.
During this period, Boyan adopted policies that excluded the southerners, such as prohibiting the southerners from participating in politics, canceling the imperial examinations, and not allowing the Han Chinese to learn Mongolian, which deepened the discord between the Han and Mongolian tribes and made Yuan Huizong even more dissatisfied.
After another period of time, the contradiction between Yuan Huizong and the right prime minister Boyan became more and more acute, and later, with the resolute support of Boyan's nephew Toto, Yuan Huizong finally overrode the public opinion, successfully deposed Boyan, and controlled the political situation. Therefore, now Yuan Huizong said that without detachment, there would be no Yuan Huizong's current world.
Of course, Tokhtoku understood this period of time, but he didn't know what Yuan Huizong was doing when he suddenly mentioned these things at this moment. He didn't bother to interject, so he just listened quietly.
"After the world was first decided, I worked diligently in government and always wanted to be a good emperor for the benefit of the people. So, I began to carefully study the articles of the Han people and learn their ways of governing the country. Slowly, I became obsessed with Buddhism, believing that Buddhism would help me to prosper forever and dominate the world. β
Tokhtar suddenly interjected: "Holy Lord, it was at this time that the national teacher of Bilba and the national teacher of Pasiba appeared, right?"
In fact, Tokhtar's current question can be described as extremely rude, but everyone is immersed in their own thoughts, and no one is aware of Tokhtar's rudeness.
Of course, Yuan Huizong didn't notice it, in fact, even if he noticed it now, Yuan Huizong wouldn't do anything, he didn't raise his head, and continued to whisper: "I thought at that time that the Confucianism and Taoism were just deceiving people and deceiving the world, and only the Shi family was the real road to rejuvenating the country, so as soon as I heard that there were high-ranking monks outside the world, I was busy asking people to invite them." In this way, I finally invited the national teacher of Bilba and the national teacher of Pasiba, one left and one right, to assist the government. β
Hearing this, Ye Boyu couldn't help but scold in his heart: "I don't know if this Pasiba national teacher is good or bad, but this guts is bad from head to toe, and you are glad to have invited a master! β
Yuan Gang, Lao Dao and the others were listening attentively to Yuan Huizong's continuation.
"The National Master of Glampa and the National Master of Pasiba came to my side, and I entertained the two of them with the courtesy of the Imperial Master. In the beginning, the two of them just gave me a lecture on Buddhism and explained my difficult questions about the scriptures. The two of them have practiced all their lives, are proficient in Buddhism, and can really be described as high-ranking monks in the world. After the guidance of the two of them, within a few days, I realized the problem that I had been thinking about for years before, which can be described as an enlightenment. At that time, I was immersed in the study of the Dharma every day, and I slowly abandoned the government. β
When he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, yes, Yuan Huizong worked hard, and when he first ascended the throne, he sat at the desk every day to comment on the major affairs of the imperial court, and often stayed up all night without resting. However, since I became obsessed with Buddhism, especially after the national teachers of Glampa and Pasba came to the imperial court, at the beginning, they often did not go to the morning court for three days and two days, and slowly, they only knew how to discuss the Buddhist scriptures all day long, and almost forgot about the major affairs of the imperial court.
During that time, the ministers of the court also talked a lot, and privately felt that the current emperor was dazzled by the two national teachers and forgot the Jiangshan Sheji handed down by his ancestors.
Later, I don't know whose instigation it was, Yuan Huizong launched several evil policies one after another, coupled with the great drought in the world at that time, Yuan Huizong's unpopular bad government finally caused a catastrophe, and the people in the world were unstable, and swords and soldiers rose everywhere.
