Chapter Eighty-Five: The Death of Tokhtar

A man lifted the curtain and came in.

This young age, dressed as a eunuch. Totoku shrank in front of him and said, "Is your ancestor okay?"

The eunuch was slightly stunned, and then said, "The ancestor is fine. ”

Tokhtar whispered, "I shouldn't have let you get so close to me. ”

This eunuch was taken off and saw that he was not hiding the truth, his body was straight, and his temperament immediately changed greatly, when he first came in, he was still a little eunuch who was only like a rook, and at this time he was clearly a martial arts master. He sat down in the chair before he got out and said, "I don't know how the prime minister found out?"

Tokhtar said: "I don't know martial arts, and I don't have eyesight, to see if you have martial arts, it's just that we have a photo of your ancestors, I try slightly, and you won't admit yourself." ”

The eunuch sighed slightly and said, "Prime Minister, worthy of being Prime Minister." "This eunuch remembered that the last time he had a photo of Totokh was a few years ago, and Tokhtar actually remembered it clearly. This mental strength is really far beyond ordinary people.

Tokhtar sighed and said, "It seems that your ancestor is also in favor of taking my own life." ”

The eunuch said, "Prime Minister, I misunderstood. The ancestors have always meant to listen to His Majesty. Never interfere in the government's affairs, whoever sits in that position, the ancestors will listen to whomever they want. ”

Tokh nodded and said, "Yes." This is the style of your ancestors. "Tokhtar already knows that there is no luck today. The old ancestor mentioned in the blurt is a great secret of the Yuan Dynasty. This old ancestor was the number one master in the inner court of the Yuan Dynasty, and his martial arts were extremely skillful. Because the old ancestor is too old, no one knows his real name for a long time, and there is only one title of the old ancestor.

Tokhtar knew that there was no reason to be spared today, and he was close to the disciples of his ancestors, and his own life was long gone.

The eunuch said, "Prime Minister." Please give me the edict. As he spoke, he took out the decree that was placed on Tokhtar's table and handed it to Tokhtar's hand.

When Tokhtar knew about this next decree, he thought he had to go to Yunnan for a walk. Tokhtar reached out and took the decree, threw it on the table, and said, "I know what Your Majesty means. It's just that Your Majesty is doing things, or is it inappropriate?"

The eunuch said, "What does the prime minister mean?"

Tokhtar said, "Let me give your majesty one last chance." "In his life, Tokhtar made countless suggestions for the Yuan Dynasty, but he didn't think that the last strategy was to take his own life, and when he thought of this, Tokhtar had a sense of ridicule.

Totoh said: "The million-strong army under Gaoyou City is already the last force of the Great Yuan. It doesn't matter if you kill me. But has Your Majesty ever thought about how to control this million-strong army?"

The eunuch was a little unbearable and said: "Prime Minister, do you really not know, or do you not know, can really control the million army, is the reason why Your Majesty wants to kill you?"

Tokhtar smiled lightly and said, "How could I not know. "Yes, Tokhtar has long known the reason why he was deposed by His Majesty, and that is this army of millions.

This million-strong army is already the nation's army of the Yuan court. In order to extinguish the Red Turban Army, Totokh devoted himself to military affairs, and controlled this million army in his hands, so that he could have the record of Kaifeng and Xuzhou. It's just that I didn't think at the time that this was the cause of his death.

His Majesty's mind is very clear, if Tokhtar goes all the way south, it will be difficult for His Majesty to intervene in the army of millions. Armies have a habit of following those who can lead them to victory. At that time, His Majesty's own life and death depended on Toto's face, and he stood between the thought of Totok.

This is why Emperor Yuan had a deep friendship with Toto, and knew that Totok was loyal and wanted to get rid of Toto.

Tokhtar knew it in his heart and said: "If this million-strong army is defeated once it is defeated, I am afraid that the rout of our dynasty will not be reversed." Although I am not good, there are many people in this army who are loyal to me. It's okay for me to die, but Your Majesty can't do that. Because Your Majesty has done so, after I go, I am afraid that these subordinates of mine will not be spared. ”

The eunuch did not speak, but he knew that Tokhtar was saying. The political struggle of the Yuan court was extremely brutal. As soon as Tokhtar is gone, Tokhto's subordinates will be liquidated, which is a matter of course.

Totoku continued: "My subordinates are all capable talents of Dayuan, if all of them are purged, how many talents can Dayuan have to fill the vacancy. Besides, these people are all people who lead the army, if they are not angry in their hearts and directly lead the army to join the Red Turban Army, we will have nothing to do. I'm afraid it won't be good for Dayuan?"

The eunuch secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that this Tokhtar is threatened by an army of millions, hoping to keep him, this is too naïve." It doesn't look like this prime minister did it. ”

As soon as he looked at the eunuch's face, he knew what he was thinking. There was a sadness in my heart, and I was always regarded as a fly camp dog. Tokhtar said secretly in his heart: "That's it, that's it, what to say to a eunuch." ”

Totoh picked up the sword in front of him, which was Mo Shenggu's saber.

Tokhtar took the sword and slammed it into his chest. There was no hesitation in this sword. A sword pierced through the detached chest until it was out of the handle.

Totoh coughed a few times, and blood spurted out of Toto's mouth. The changes at this time, the eunuch was far from expecting. I couldn't help but be taken aback.

Totoh said: "Say to the outside world, I was assassinated, and the person who killed me was Wudang Moshenggu. Ordered the king of Ruyang to be the commander and lead the whole army. As long as you appease them, those of my men will be used by the King of Ruyang. ”

When he spoke, he was extremely calm. It was as if the sword had been stabbed not under his own chest, but in the chest of someone else.

The eunuch's face was extremely solemn and said, "Prime Minister, why is this so?"

Tokhtar said: "I would rather die here than die at the hands of Xiao Xiao, go back and tell Your Majesty that the root knot of my Dayuan is that I have no support from the Han people, and I will deal with the Red Turban Army with ruthless means and suppress it with all my might." But it is also necessary to win the support of the Han people, to give Confucian official positions, it is best to take the southern people as the prime minister, and let the people of the world know that my Dayuan attaches great importance to scholars. As long as those scholars can become officials, they don't care whose officials they are. After I died, I appeased Zhang Shicheng and gave him a provincial prime minister. First stabilize the land of Hebei, eliminate the red scarves of Shandong, and the red scarves of Liaodong, and then make plans to go south. Even if the worst is the worst, the north and the south can be separated----"

As he spoke, he fell headlong on the table, and a large pool of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. It's dead.

The eunuchs actually had the means to save them, but they didn't save them. Because when he came with the will of Dadu, he had a secret decree that if he did not obey, he would take the life of Tokhtar, and although he admired Tokhtar very much, he could not oppose Dadu's will for the sake of Tokhtar.

The eunuch secretly said in his heart: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, you don't know why you have fallen into such a situation, it is because you are using Han people, and you are also cultivating history and opening imperial examinations." Dayuan has so many official positions, more for Han people, and less for others. Therefore, as soon as you left Beijing, you never stopped slandering you later, and it was Your Majesty who trusted you, so that you could command the army for such a long time, if others would have died a long time ago. What is the use of offering such a last policy when you are dying, even if Your Majesty approves of it, I am afraid it will not be able to implement it. ”

Ge Yundao smelled blood outside, broke in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Totoku pounced on the table, covered in blood, and said in shock: "Prime Minister." A few steps forward, I saw that Tokhtar was no longer breathing. Immediately turned his eyes to the eunuch and said, "What's going on?"

Ge Yundao clearly felt that this eunuch was also a martial arts master, not inferior to himself. Ge Yundao felt remorse in his heart. I actually walked away. Let the prime minister be in danger.

The eunuch said: "It was Wudang Moshenggu who killed the prime minister. After speaking, he paused and said, "It's the prime minister's meaning." ”

Ge Yundao's eyesight could naturally see at a glance that Tokhtar was suicidal. This is the reason why Ge Yundao did not immediately make a move with the eunuch, after listening to the eunuch's words, Ge Yundao looked at the sword that Totoku used to commit suicide again, and understood in his heart that this was indeed the meaning of Totok.
