Chapter 858: Marionette's Thread

Chapter 858 The Marionette Strings

In the Huagai Hall, Tatar Pingzhang Tuohujie and Walazhiyuan Da Haier were at war with each other, like a pair of fighting cocks.

Yang Xu, the Assistant Duke of the State, and Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, are on the left and right, looking at the nose with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses, just like an old monk in meditation.

Zhu Di sat high on his head, lowered his eyes, and fiddled with the tea leaves with the tea lid.

The impassioned voice of Tatar Pingzhang Tuohuji echoed in the hall: "Your Majesty, the imperial seal of the Yuan Dynasty fell into the hands of Wala, but Wala refused to hand it over to the heaven. He had ulterior motives. King Arutai of Hening was willing to beg heavenly soldiers to attack Wala. I

The Tatars will respond with elite troops!"

Walazhiyuan replied to Hai'er with a sneer, raised his head and said: "This jade seal... was originally in the hands of your Tatars. Why didn't you offer it to the emperor, but now you are here to show your loyalty!"

Tuohubi said plausibly: "At that time, we, the Tatars, were still under the control of Benya Shili and had never surrendered to the Celestial Empire. When it comes to you, you first hid the jade seal without offering it, and then secretly established the Khan. What are your intentions?"

Hai'er spread his hands and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the Tatar envoy is slandering! We, the three kings of Wala, have all been granted the title of Ming Dynasty, so how can we establish another Great Khan? Tuotuo Buhua is indeed a member of the Yuan clan.

Descendant, but he lived in the Central Plains many years ago. I heard that... he is now nomadic in the Qilian Mountains. How could I, Wala, be so capable of stealing the sky and take him outside the Great Wall to proclaim his sweat. But this Tatar..."

Da Hai'er turned around, pointed at Tuohu and said: "Benya died suddenly when he was missing. This is God's blessing for our Ming Dynasty. Letting him die in the hands of my Wala shows my loyalty even more. However, Benya's sudden death was nothing.

He is a puppet in the hands of Arutai. The real ruler of the Tatars has always been Arutai. This bandit is unruly and ambitious. Once he recovers his strength, he will definitely cause trouble to the Central Plains again.

We, the Three Kings of Wala, are very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so it is natural for us to present the Yuan Dynasty's traditional jade seal to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, this thing was originally obtained from Tatar, and I, the Three Kings of Wala, are worried that once we offer this thing,

The Tatars took the opportunity to provoke and called on the Mongolian tribes to retaliate against our Oara plunder. Therefore, when King Mahamu ordered his ministers to go to Beijing, he said, please ask me, the emperor of tomorrow, to send heavenly troops to destroy the Tatars and relieve my worries, and Oara will definitely offer them.

The jade seal is in front of the emperor!"

Zhu Di shook his head and blew on the tea foam. He took a sip of tea and covered up the trace of ridicule on his lips.

Tuohu was very angry and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the sophistry of the Wala envoys. They are good at setting up the Great Khan. We have inquired about this clearly. Mahamu and others hid the national seal and established Tuotuo Buhua without permission.

His intentions are already known to everyone on the road! The Wala traitor is ambitious and wants to compete with China. His sending people to the court is not true. Your Majesty should use heavenly troops to eliminate him!"

Zhu Di then said slowly and calmly: "The military is a major matter for the country. It is definitely appropriate to attack, so how can we start the war lightly? I still want to find out whether Oala has evil intentions, and I will wait and see!"

"emperor!"

"Okay, please step back!"

As soon as Zhu Di waved his hand, Mu Si came to the front from one side of the imperial desk and waved the whisk in his hand as if to swat flies.

Tuo Hujie and Du Hai'er had no choice but to bow and salute together, then glared at each other, and then walked backwards together to the outside of the palace door. With a twist of their buttocks, one turned to the left, the other to the right, and walked out together.

Go. Two people are competing for the wind when walking. They both want to be one step ahead of the other. They really walk like lightning.

Lu Zhen bowed and said: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di said: "You should also step down. Treat Tatars and Oaras equally, be impartial and impartial, and don't reveal the slightest hint of anything!"

Lu Zhen said hurriedly: "I obey your order!" He bowed and retreated.

Zhu Di glanced at Xia Xun and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Xia Xun said: "Your Majesty, I am wondering who this Tuo Tuo Bu Hua is!"

Zhu Di said: "Isn't the real Tuo Tuo Bu Hua dead? However, it doesn't matter whether this Tuo Tuo Bu Hua is true or false. Just like Benya Shili, he is just a puppet."

Xia Xun slowly shook his head and said: "It's different, it's different. If this Tuo Tuo Bu Hua is Mahamu and others who found Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's seal and then found a confidant to pretend to be it, then it's useless. Sir.

Are you thinking, did Tuo Tuo Bu Hua come into existence because the Yin Qian fell into Mahamu's hands, or did Wansongling suddenly transform into Tuo Tuo Bu Hua?"

"Um?"

Zhu Di's expression changed and he hurriedly asked: "What kind of article can... be made about this? It should be noted that even if Tuo Tuo Bu Hua is true, it is just a puppet at the mercy of Mahamu. It cannot influence the political situation in Wala at all. If it is a puppet

It’s a fake, it’s just a marionette!”

Xia Xun's eyes showed deep thought, and he said softly: "This marionette is a sweat after all, even though it is only in name. If this marionette has even one thread in your hand, then what will happen to it?"

...What kind of situation will it be?”

Zhu Di's eyes exploded like candles, and there was a flash of light everywhere!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Exiting the Sanshan Gate of Jinling is Mochou Lake. Because this is the private property of the Xu family, there are not many tourists around the lake. Pedestrians can only walk along the imperial road by the lake from a distance, admiring the color of the water and the beautiful scenery before leaving Jiangdong.

The gate is the suburb of the city.

On the left and right sides of the west side of the city, five miles away from the official road, there is a village on each side. The village on the left side of the road is called Chenjiazhuang.

There are local people who have lived here for generations in Chenjiazhuang, as well as residents who have moved here later. There is a large house in the north corner of the village adjacent to an inlet. Someone bought land and built a house a few years ago. I heard that the owner of this house is named Chen.

However, the villagers didn't know much about it, because although the Chen family often had people walking around, they didn't interact much with the villagers.

This is normal. Under the emperor's feet, there are too many officials, dignitaries, and officials. Some families build a lower courtyard on the outskirts of the city. Some use it to cultivate their moral character. Some use it to hide their beauty in a golden house and place an outer room. The villagers

I have long been used to it.

Today, there were a few people wearing round-neck gowns and riding donkeys. After entering the village, they went directly to the north of the village. There were urchins in the village playing on the street.

The gate opened wide, and several people ran out and took the man riding the donkey in. The donkey was also led into the courtyard, and the gate was immediately closed again.

The Chen family's house is well-built. It doesn't have the gardens, ponds, rockeries, vines, pavilions and pavilions that are usually built by officials when they build a courtyard outside the city. Instead, it has an ordinary three-yard courtyard, and each courtyard is the main house.

, the left and right wing rooms are neatly built and unremarkable.

"Where are the people?"

One of the green-robed men who had just entered the courtyard raised his head and asked softly.

This man has a handsome face, eyes as bright as stars, and three little beards under his chin. He is a very handsome middle-aged scholar, about forty years old. Looking at this, he will definitely be able to charm many girls and wives when he was young.

, even his current appearance does not reduce his masculine charm at all, because he has a bit more of a mature man's flavor, which will make some daughters who value connotation like him more.

Jinling City has Gongyuan and schools, and ranks first in the world in culture and education. As the center of the world, it is also a must-visit place for traveling scholars. In recent years, the emperor has continued to issue orders to compile various books, so literati from the capital gathered here.

, people dressed like him are very common.

"Spymaster, please go this way. He has been locked up in the West Crossing Courtyard since he was brought here."

The person who answered was respectful and his voice trembled slightly. He was a young man. Because he was so excited, his face was so red that the pimples on his face were particularly obvious. Of course he was excited, because today they were the ones who lurked.

The leader of the dragon, the dignified boss Xia Xunxia.

He has joined Qianlong for several years, and it has been more than a year since he heard the name of his leader. He neither knows the identity of this boss nor has he seen his appearance. The leader Shenlong has never seen his head or tail, and his whereabouts are nowhere to be seen.

He is extremely mysterious. It is said that only a few big leaders in the organization have access to him. But now I am lucky enough to meet him. What an honor it is.

There is a wall on the west side of the courtyard and three houses. The Qianlong secret agent who led the way led their leader into a house. After turning into the bedroom on the left, he quickly rushed forward and bent down at the screen.

After tinkering for a while, I walked to the corner again, grabbed the book shelf and pulled hard, and a door creaked open, revealing a passage that went straight down.

There are oil lamps burning on the wall inside. It seems that there are ventilation holes. Otherwise, when the secret door is closed, it would be difficult to have a bright light inside.

"Spy master, please come in!"

The young man did not have the authority to enter such a secret place to know what was inside, so after opening the door, he immediately stepped aside. Xia Xun smiled, nodded, and walked in, followed closely by two people.

The young man closed the door again, and sat down at the table with the two remaining men in green shirts. He opened three blue and white porcelain tureens, filled them with tea, and the three of them chatted and laughed.

If someone broke in at this time, they would never expect that there is a whole other world behind the Bogu shelf next to these three people.

On the ancient shelf, there is a statue of Maitreya with a big belly in the middle. He is always smiling and has a peaceful expression.

In the underground secret room, Ye Qianqian was tied to the torture rack and looked at the two people in front of him in horror.

One of them had a big belly and a round face full of fat, like a cook. He held an ox-ear sharp knife in his hand and shouted ferociously: "Boy, if you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I will skin you alive."

Skin! My craftsmanship is very good. You can watch with your own eyes as I peel your skin off your body inch by inch, and the blood will drip from it..."

Ye Qianqian trembled all over after hearing this. As he was talking, Xia Xun and two subordinates had already appeared at the door of the cell. The man on the left side of Xia Xun was Xu Jiang. When he saw that his subordinates were extracting a confession, Xu Jiang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Embarrassed, he coughed quickly and shouted in a deep voice: "Fei Hewei! What are you doing! Didn't you say that you should convince people with virtue? Speak well!"

Hearing Xu Jiang's voice, the fat man named Fei Hewei immediately smiled brightly. He said to Ye Qianqian gently in an almost flattering tone: "I am the best at skinning people alive. This is a technical job.

First, I would lightly bake your skin over low heat until it is medium-rare and then peel it off.

Generally speaking, I will cut from the spine first, slowly separate the skin and flesh, and finally spread it from side to side like a butterfly spreading its wings. It hurts, and you will die from the pain, because when the knife goes down, it keeps peeling off new skin.

Even if you faint, you will wake up immediately.

Soon, you will see that your bright red flesh and blood are constantly squirming and twitching, but your face is in my hand. It is so amazing that you can see yourself without looking in the mirror. But don't worry

Oh, my skills are very good, and you are also suitable for skinning. If you are a fat person, it will be difficult because there is a pile of suet between the skin and the meat..."

With a "Gah" sound, Ye Qianqian took a twitch...

p: Folks, Xia Xun said, I only ask for monthly recommendation votes, no skinning, if you have votes, just vote~~~
