Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight seizure of power
Loufan Southern Border Army Camp.
Tuomu Shen led his team in in a mighty manner, completely ignoring Yelu Mingjing who was waiting outside the camp.
The smoke brought up by the cavalry passing by hit Yelu Mingjing in the face, and also hit the faces of the other generals who were waiting here.
Tuo Mu Shen deliberately held her chin high before entering the door, without even looking at Yelu Mirror.
The saying that eyes are higher than the top of one's head is never higher than one's own head, but the top of other people's heads.
But it was his dazzlingly beautiful prince's brocade robe that made people have to take a second look.
He deliberately came wearing a grand royal uniform, just to let Yelu Mingjing see clearly the gap in status.
The Nine Banners of Loufan have extremely high status, and these nine banners are divided into upper three banners, middle three banners and lower three banners.
Speaking of which, what made Emperor Zongzheng Shiquan often feel helpless was Shangsanqi, who had a close relationship with the Zongzheng royal family.
Not long after Lou Fan was founded, the founding emperor felt that the Nine Banners were too powerful and would threaten the imperial power.
But at that time, the country had just been established, so it was not easy for him to directly operate.
So, after racking his brains, he came up with a compromise but certainly effective method.
Among the Nine Banners, one banner is the tribe headed by the Tuomu family, and the wife of the founding emperor came from the Tuomu family, so the Tuomu family is a real descendant of the clan.
From the founding emperor to the current emperor Zongzheng Shiquan, the queens of all emperors came from the Tuomu family.
Therefore, Tuomu Shen always acted like an elder in front of Zong Zheng Shiquan. After all, he was indeed Zong Zheng Shiquan's uncle.
In addition to this banner, there are two other banners, and the head of one banner is the sworn brother of the founding emperor.
The head of the other banner is the sworn brother of the founding emperor.
Therefore, the founding emperor came up with a strategy to vigorously support these three banners and use people within the Nine Banners to suppress the Nine Banners. These three banners became the upper three banners.
In the beginning, Shangsanqi, who had received a lot of benefits, was indeed loyal. Not only did he make great contributions to the founding emperor, he also made a huge contribution to the stability of the court.
However, as time passed, the Three Banners became more and more powerful, and the structure of the Nine Banners gradually changed.
If the other Six Flags cannot compete with it, then we might as well just make the Three Flags the leader.
And they also adopted an extremely effective strategy, which was to divide the upper three banners.
The people in the Three Banners all thought that they were the tribe that should be ranked number one, and that they should have the status of one person below ten thousand people.
In this way, it didn't take long at all for people who were in the early stage to lose themselves in the flattery.
After just a few years, the people in Shangsanqi became particularly discordant.
Now, Nine Flags doesn't seem to have any obvious alliance with whom, but instead they have become monolithic.
They all realized that if they are not united, they will be replaced sooner or later.
Tuomu Shen is now somewhat self-reliant on her identity, which has a lot to do with being deliberately supported by people from other banners.
He was arrogant and arrogant. Sometimes, his remarks in private were even more exaggerated, and he even did not take the emperor seriously.
With someone like him at the front, people from other banners will naturally be happy.
Tuomu Shen's visit to the southern Xinjiang camp this time was actually the result of discussions among the Nine Banners nobles.
They feel that the Zongzheng royal family's current use of families such as the Yelu family and the Su family is a sign of the royal family turning their elbows outward.
When we first conquered the world, it was the people of the Nine Banners and Eighteen Divisions who really worked hard and shed blood.
Now, a small family like the Yelu family, which was originally unknown, has gained military power, and even vaguely has the momentum to overwhelm the Nine Banners.
They cannot allow this to happen. Military power must be taken back.
Only with military power in hand, the position of the Nine Banners and Eighteen Divisions in Loufan will be more stable.
Just before Tuomu Shen directly launched an attack in the court, people from the Nine Banners and Eighteen Divisions gathered together to discuss it carefully.
Tuomu Shen said in public that my eldest nephew was so short-sighted that he wanted to hire outsiders instead of his own family.
Now that the military power has returned to the Yelu family, what will happen in the future? We, the nobles of the Nine Banners and Eighteen Tribes, have to listen to the orders of those boys from the Yelu family. What kind of behavior is this?
As soon as he started, everyone agreed.
Tuomu Shen added that he and his sister had already mentioned that at this time, his sister was also in favor of Nine Flags regaining military power.
His sister is Zong Zheng Shiquan's mother and Lou Fan's queen mother.
Tuomu Shen said, my eldest nephew is young and ignorant, and it is natural for us elders to give him more advice.
Now that he is deceived by some monsters and cannot save himself, let's save him.
But my nephew is the Holy King after all. We can't do anything to the Holy King. We can only get rid of all the monsters who have confused the Holy King.
This is the purpose of Tuomu Shen coming to the southern border army camp today.
The people of the Nine Banners and Eighteen Divisions have long wanted to regain military power, and now that people like Tuomu Shen are coming forward, of course they are happy and willing to wave the flag and shout from behind.
If people are exalted too high and praised too much, they will indeed lose themselves.
Tuomu Shen now regards himself as the leader of Nine Flags. He feels that whether Nine Flags can regain its glory rests on his shoulders.
Think about it, when Lou Fan first founded the country, who among the Nine Banners and Eighteen Divisions was not in a high and powerful position?
Those who serve as generals, those who serve as chief officials of the six ministries, those who serve as prime ministers, those who serve as generals of various armies, those who serve as chief officials of local areas...
It can be said that without the support of the Nine Banners and Eighteen Ministries at that time, Lou Fan would not have been able to establish the country safely.
and after.
Later emperors didn't know where they heard it, saying that they wanted to imitate the Central Plains countries and implement the imperial examination system to select talents.
As a result, the imperial examination system was not implemented, and people from all major tribes were offended.
At this moment, when we arrived at the southern frontier army camp, Tuomu Shen could not give Yelu Mingjing a good look.
He walked in arrogantly, and Yelu Mingjing and others followed him immediately. Although they looked disgraced, no one showed anything directly.
Tuomu Shen's status was there, so they had to endure it if they could.
After entering the big tent, Tuomu Shen went directly to the general's seat and sat down.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the generals in the southern Xinjiang camp all looked a bit unhappy.
It's true that you are a prince. You are here to work for the army in name, not to seize power. You can do it elsewhere, but not here. This is the front line and the barracks. The general's seat can only be occupied by the general.
So the atmosphere in the big tent immediately became a little subtle.
Some people felt angry, others looked at it as if it were a joke, and some were even thinking about whether to add fuel to the flames.
Among these people, Helian Tuzhong and Su Xingqing have the most active and complex psychological activities.
They were both very happy. As for Helian Tuzhong, he thought that after overthrowing Yelu Mingjing, the position of general could only be filled by someone from the Helian family.
Of course, Su Xingqing didn't think he could sit in the position of general, but he was happy. As long as the people who were weighing on the Su family were unlucky, he would be happy.
As for whether it can bring much benefit to the Su family, that is not what he should care about now.
Even if there are no benefits, there are also no disadvantages.
"General Yelu."
After Tuo Mu Shen waited for Yelu Mingjing to come in, he asked with a smile, "Is your father okay?"
These words directly caused the expressions of the generals present to change, and some of them were already glaring angrily.
The old general Yelv Ling is still in the hands of the jade man. Tuo Mu Shen's knowingly asking questions is a direct way to humiliate Yelu Mingjing.
However, Yelv Ling's prestige among the frontier troops was so high that even some of the generals present were not convinced by Yelu Mingjing, but they were convinced by the old general.
However, Tuomu Shen still felt that his sarcastic remark was truly a stroke of genius.
"Well......"
Seeing that Yelu Mingjing didn't answer, Tuomu Shen smiled and said, "I forgot that the old general is not in the army."
After saying this, he looked at Yelv Mingjing again: "So, how is your fifth brother Yelv Minglou doing?"
At this moment, in the big tent, some of the generals from Yeluming Tower had their hands on the handles of their swords.
These generals in their Southern Xinjiang camp naturally have a close relationship with Yeluming Tower.
At this time, as long as Yelu Mingjing gave the order, they might really dare to go up and chop the Tuomu ginseng.
Yelu Mingjing replied: "My fifth brother is seriously injured and it is inconvenient to see the prince. Moreover, I have prepared to send someone to the Jinting to let him meet the holy king directly."
Tuomu Shen said: "I think it's better to exempt him. He is a captured person and has brought shame on the Loufan Empire. There is no need to see the Holy Lord and upset the Holy Lord."
Tuomu Shen looked around and saw that he was not afraid at all of the generals who glared at him.
He felt that with his status, how could these small characters dare to really disrespect him.
"I'm here on behalf of the Holy King."
Tuomu said: "The Holy Lord said, let me ask what Yeluming Lou said to the Jade Man after he was arrested."
Yelu Mingjing said: "My fifth brother has a strong bone and will not lose Lou Fan's face in front of a beautiful lady."
"He lost too much?"
Tuomu Shen sneered and said: "In a camp with a hundred thousand troops, I was captured by a beautiful woman who came alone and captured two people. General Yelu, is this what you said is not embarrassing?"
Tuomu said: "Since I am here on an edict, the things assigned by the Holy Lord must be done well."
He looked at Yelu Mingjing: "So, please General Yelu, please bring up the criminal Yelu Minglou. I want to question him."
Yelu Mingjing said: "Your Majesty, although Yelu Minglou has been arrested, he is not a criminal."
"Hahahahaha, what a shameless person!"
Tuomu Shen slapped the table: "If you Yelu family are so shameless, I am afraid that something big will happen if the Holy Lord entrusts you with the army of Southern Xinjiang."
Having said this, he leaned back: "General Yelu, let me remind you again that I am here to deal with this matter on behalf of the Holy Lord. You'd better bring Yelu Minglou up now, otherwise, I'll let me
The people started to search, and the soldiers saw it, and your face became even more ugly."
Yelu Mingjing frowned, and the anger in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.
At this time, his trusted general Ge Pu said: "Prince, don't worry, my general will definitely act in accordance with the order. I will go and invite General Minglou now."
After saying that, he pulled Yelu Mingjing behind him. Yelu Mingjing knew that his confidant meant well and was trying to persuade him to be patient, so he nodded.
Ge Pu immediately turned around and went out, ordering someone to invite Yeluming Tower.
Not long after, Yeluminglou arrived outside the big tent. He just showed up, and before he could speak, Tuomu Shen shouted: "Put down that traitor who is collaborating with the enemy and treason!"
The people he brought immediately went up, held Yelumminglou by the neck and pushed him in, then kicked him on the knee.
Yeluminglou knelt down with a thud, and this sound also rang in the hearts of the generals in the tent.
This kneeling also kneeled on the dignity of the 100,000 soldiers of the southern Xinjiang camp.
