Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Five: The Army Goes Down to Yangzhou
Just before the court meeting to decide Tuo Tuo's fate, a secret letter had left Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty and headed for Chuzhou as quickly as possible.
The person who sent this letter was none other than Zhou Huiniang!
She actually predicted the outcome of the matter in advance before Yuan Ting made a decision. Could it be that this woman could foresee the future?
How is it possible? Of course Zhou Huiniang doesn't have this ability.
There are many miraculous things, but to put it bluntly, they are nothing special.
For example, there is a close confidant in Hama named Yuan Saiyin Buhua. Even though he is a slutty person, he has lived in the Central Plains for a long time and is rich in culture. He has learned the ways of scholar-bureaucrats thoroughly. Now he is serving as the imperial censor in the court.
It was he who took the lead in initiating the impeachment against Tuotuo.
And Yuan Saiyin's son Buhua was even more talented than his predecessors. Not only did he learn the scholar-bureaucrat style, he also liked to recite poems and compose poems. He would go to the flower streets and willow lanes and wander around all day long.
It stands to reason that this kid is a playboy, the kind who has accomplished nothing.
But one day someone suddenly found him and told him that he had a way to get grain, and it was the best japonica rice, no worse than the tribute, but it was difficult to get rid of it, and he wanted to ask the young master for help.
As long as the business can be completed, the young master can enjoy 30% of the dividend.
Food!
Still the best japonica rice!
Since Zhang Shicheng occupied Gaoyou, the price of rice in Beijing has tripled. Anyone who can get rice will really be holding a cash cow!
The boy nodded immediately, and then 10,000 shi of rice arrived in Beijing.
Yuan Saiyin did not spend his time as a censor, supervising all officials. He gave his son the green light. In less than half a year, 80,000 shi of food came to Beijing.
It goes without saying how much money these two men earned.
Yuan Saiyin bought a two-foot-eight golden Buddha with a jade throne for his wife who believed in Buddhism without spending any money, and enshrined it. His precious son was a little more vulgar and didn't have any golden or jade Buddhas. He just kept it simple.
Gold makes a toilet, and the happiness of the rich is so simple and unpretentious.
With close business contacts, there were naturally more exchanges, and then Zhou Huiniang suddenly appeared in the city.
It stands to reason that Yuan Saiyin's son Buhua is a complete playboy. He has no other hobbies except lust for beauty. It is not easy to deal with him.
But after Zhou Huiniang had a brief chat with him, she understood the details of this young master. It was not that he didn't want to be arty, but it was a pity that his level was really not good enough and he was afraid of being embarrassed.
Zhou Huiniang took the initiative to discuss poetry with him. No matter how outrageous his words were, Zhou Huiniang could always find a way to praise him and make the young master very happy. For the first time, he discovered that he was so talented!
In the past, no one else noticed, but today I finally met my confidante.
"Isn't this girl a fairy in the sky with a pair of wise eyes that is unparalleled in the world?"
Zhou Huiniang just smiled faintly and said, "Young Master's talent is limitless. However, if you surrender Jia Yi to Changsha, it is not without a holy master; if you move Liang Hong to Haiqu, there is no lack of bright time. What the Young Master lacks is just an opportunity."
"Yes! You are absolutely right! But don't worry, girl, I don't have to wait too long. I just have to wait for the old man Tuotuo to collapse, and then my chance will come."
Zhou Huiniang was subconsciously shocked. She really wanted to take off her hands?
She said calmly: "Prime Minister Tuotuo is in charge of the government and leads a million troops to suppress the red bandits. He is really the pillar of the government and the pillar of the country. How could he collapse?"
Zhou Huiniang's surprise made this boy extremely happy.
It turned out that the girl who was regarded as a fairy also had things that she didn't know, so he immediately started chatting... It was Wang Mang and Cao Cao who controlled the government. Sooner or later, he would definitely usurp the throne. And the Mongols were different from the Han people. The emperor would die if he wanted to.
.There are so many powerful ministers, and if others don’t tell me, Tuotuo’s uncle Boyan will kill the five most famous people in the world!
"The girl's surname is Zhou, so she is lucky. If she were Zhang Wang, Li Zhao Liu, wouldn't her life be in danger?"
Zhou Huiniang's face turned slightly pale, "Well, these five major surnames will probably account for 30% of the world's population. Boyan is too hateful. Fortunately, he has been dismissed from office, otherwise blood will really flow like a river."
"Who says not! But does Miss Zhou know? The one who killed Boyan was his good nephew Tuotuo! Boyan raised Tuotuo at home in his early years, and he was almost like his own son. But Tuotuo in turn harmed his uncle,
What's the difference between killing his father! Since he can kill his father, he must kill the king! How can such a white sheep wolf be kept? Have you not heard... One wolf and two rats will be sentenced to death for a moment, which means that Tuotuo
These two brothers are at their end and will fall in a moment!"
…
With this young man’s crazy bragging, what else can be concealed?
In fact, doing intelligence work is not like 007, a beauty in a car, a dragon in a tiger's den. It is made very high-end. The real first generation 007 was directly planted in Moscow.
Their lives were lost. When 007 was active, it was the time when the Cambridge Five and countless men of genius infiltrated London like a sieve, making Britain one-way transparent to Moscow.
Perhaps it was because reality was so miserable that I racked my brains to make amends on the screen.
It can even be said that intelligence information is everywhere, and there are countless rumors and gossips.
The real master is to find useful information from these vast amounts of information and make reasonable assumptions. This is his true skill.
Obviously, the current Wu Datou and Zhou Huiniang do not have this ability. But they still have Zhang Ximeng, Boss Zhang! Zhang Ximeng also found out the situation of Yuan Ting from Jia Lu and found out the people's aspirations.
Once you reach this step, it will be much easier to prescribe the right medicine.
He directly smashed out 100,000 shi of grain, established a business line, and then took Hama's cronies into his hands... At this point, everything fell into place.
Except for a little accident,
Just when it was decided to depose Tuo Tuo from military power, the censor Ru Zhongbai was filled with grief and anger. He was promoted by Tuo Tuo and assisted Tuo Tuo in supervising hundreds of officials and rectifying the administration of officials at the censor station.
He knew Tuotuo's character and status very well.
What is the difference between deposing Tuotuo now and recalling Yue Fei when Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty recalled him?
Is it possible that two hundred years later, there will be another ancient injustice?
If the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, would they make the same mistake as the Song Dynasty again in the end?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Prime Minister Tuduo, has made great achievements in his hard work. He has controlled millions of troops, swept away the smoke and dust, and quelled rebellions for the country. He has worked hard to achieve his goals, and he has been able to eat and drink at night. I, I beg your Majesty to take back your orders and don't chill the hearts of the soldiers!"
Ru Zhongbai cried and worshiped on the ground, unable to make a sound.
Emperor Dayuan was startled and subconsciously looked at Hama.
This man sneered and said with a sneer: "Look, you said Tuotuo was the pillar of the country. Since he is so great, why couldn't he destroy the red bandits as soon as possible? Could it be that he respected himself as a nurturing bandit and wanted to imitate Huan Wen?
In the name of crusade, to establish authority, and plan to depose the emperor?"
Ru Zhongbai was so angry that he wanted to frame the Prime Minister of the DPRK based on pure speculation. It was really ridiculous.
"It is precisely because you are such a treacherous person who deceives the emperor that the thieves are so powerful that they are out of control! You are the one who deserves to be killed!"
Hama didn't panic at all, he sneered: "Sure enough, I knew that you put the blame on the emperor! Today you say that the emperor is bewitched, tomorrow you will say that the emperor is fatuous and not worthy of being a king! You bunch of treacherous sycophants
, as expected, they are all Tuo Tuo’s minions, with ulterior motives!”
"you!"
Ru Zhongbai still wanted to argue. At this time, the emperor above the dragon yawned. He was too sleepy.
There is no way, last night, I practiced "Playing Pu'er Technique" so hard that I didn't sleep all night, and I urgently needed to catch up on some sleep.
What is this method of acting? It can only be said that in translation, it is called Great Joy. It is a supreme secret method dedicated to the emperor by Hama. From then on, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty searched for beauties everywhere, filled the palace with them, and then practiced them all day long.
Day and night.
After dealing with such an emperor, one can easily imagine Tuotuo's fate.
He stood up lazily and was about to walk back.
Ru Zhongbai saw it in his eyes, and he was really sad and angry!
He was only able to achieve his current status due to Tuotuo's grace. Now, the prime minister is about to collapse, and his army of millions will be left without a master. What will happen to the world then?
"The prime minister was deposed and loyal ministers were killed. Our Yuan Dynasty is at the end of its rope!"
Ru Zhongbai suddenly stood up, shocking the officials, and Hama was about to call the guards. Suddenly, Ru Zhongbai hit his head against a pillar.
There was a snap, the skull split open, and blood poured out.
Ru Zhongbai's eyes widened and he was still muttering, "No, no, no, no..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ru Zhongbai died in full view of everyone!
Emperor Dayuan was stunned, then frowned and waved his hands lazily, "Let's bury him."
Just saying this, His Majesty the Emperor left quickly as if in despair.
Tuo Tuo was deposed, and the censor ordered him to die.
The news spread quickly, and most people could no longer calm down.
All forces are surging, and they are all in trouble, and they can't wait to make a fuss about this matter.
The Tuotuo party was so sad that the rabbit died and the fox was dead. Some people wrote letters to express their grievances, and some simply asked to go away. As for Hama, they were happy and excited. They criticized one after another, saying that Tuotuo was raising dead soldiers and cultivating party members, such as Ruzhong Bai.
Liu, there is no imperial court in his heart, he is just a Tuotuo eagle and dog.
If Tuotuo is allowed to win and return to the court, why not immediately follow the story of Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo?
The chaos in the Yuan Dynasty continued, and it did not slow down at all because of Tuotuo's fall. On the contrary, the fighting became more fierce. However, Zhou Huiniang's news was sent half a day in advance, and in this half day, it traveled as much as 500 miles.
Then the speed was even faster. Thanks to the trade routes established by smuggling grain, the two thousand miles distance was delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang in only three and a half days.
This speed is simply jaw-dropping. I have to say that the power of money is truly amazing.
Especially after crossing the Huaihe River, we simply used carrier pigeons to deliver messages and deliver intelligence.
Holding a small piece of paper, Zhu Yuanzhang was trembling all over.
He knew very well what this news meant, and he knew Yuan Ting's arrangements much earlier than Tuotuo did.
"Mr. Zhang, what should we do?"
Zhang Ximeng was also frightened. He looked at it carefully for a moment with trembling hands, then gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, go all out and attack Yangzhou! There are 800,000 people there, which is enough to increase our strength!"
