choke element

Chapter 82
At the end of March in the second year of Chongqing, there was a vision in the sky.Taiyin, Taibai and the sun meet together, and are separated by more than a chi.

A few days later, there was an inexplicable riot in the central capital, and the imperial city was on fire for no reason.Some hungry people rushed into the royal temples and temples, looted supplies, and damaged hundreds of cities in the south of the city.

In recent years, many high-ranking officials and nobles in Zhongdu have intervened in merchants to make huge profits.This situation, of course, made many officials angry.The next day, someone scolded in the court hall, saying that although the disaster is extraordinary, one should not talk about the way of heaven, and Gai must first pay attention to human affairs.As for personnel affairs, the Holy Lord uses it for himself, the prime minister flatters him, and all the officials are negligent. This is the reason.

The person who said this was probably because the shop at home was burned, so he was so painful that he said nothing.

This remark made everyone angry, and no one liked to hear it.

But the emperor immediately grasped the two sentences of "Prime Minister flatters, Bai Si dereliction of duty", blamed the third division of the Forbidden Army, cursing and cursing, and also referred to the dereliction of duty of Tu Dan Nanping, who knew the Daxing Mansion.Tudan Nanping was very close to the emperor, so everyone knew that the emperor was talking about Tudan, not to put pressure on Tudan Nanping, but to the Shang Shuyou, who had always been in charge of the security of the central capital since Da'an sent troops into the guard in the third year. Chancellor Shan Yi.

Even if Tu Danyi, the prime minister, wanted to flatter the emperor, he couldn't get in for a long time.But the emperor insisted on using two nonsense words as proof, and sprayed himself in the court hall, who can stop it?

Tu Shanyi said last month that because of falling from a horse and hurting his foot, he would have to rest for a year and a half and would not be able to recover.So today he did not go to court.Since Prime Minister You himself is not around, most of his party members are weak and Confucian officials, facing the emperor's wrath, he can only be Weiwei.Even Zhang Xingxin, the Zuo Jianyi doctor known as the leader of Qingliu, could not directly confront the majesty of the emperor.

The emperor suddenly launched an attack, and many people began to wonder if there was going to be a huge change in the court situation.Did the emperor want to take this opportunity to get rid of the influence of the Confucian officials and instead place some real confidantes in the court?

As soon as this idea came up, it was extinguished immediately.

It turned out that Zuo Cheng Wanyan Gang, who had been fighting fiercely with Tu Shanyi recently, suddenly exerted his strength.Interestingly, this Zuo Cheng commanded an army of 20 in Jinshan, and he was not in the court himself.

Those senior generals who were close to Wanyan Gang had always been dissatisfied with the Confucian officials, and in the past year or so, the civil and military sides sprayed each other bloody more than once.But this time, Wanyan Gang's forces actually defended Daxing Mansion and even the Third Division of the Forbidden Army, and even took the initiative to explain that the chaos in Zhongdu might not be caused by the Third Division of the Forbidden Army, but a loophole in the front line of Jinshan, which caused Mongolia People's sentinel horses ride deeply.

This statement is equivalent to taking the initiative to share the pressure for Tu Shanyi.So all the ministers knew that the whole matter had something to do with Prime Minister You, and Tu Danyi had voluntarily given up some interests in the communication outside the court, and surrendered to Wanyan Gang.

Now that the two ministers have secretly reached an agreement, what else is there to say?At the moment, everyone said, "As expected, it's true. It's not that we are incompetent. It's that those Mongols are too cunning and hateful. We must come up with effective measures to strengthen the defense of Zhongdu."

In an instant, all the ministers went to the table one after another, impeaching some people and recommending some people.Until the end, Tu Danyi's henchmen even came forward to force Chen Wanyangang's younger brother Zhenxi Army Jiedushi, Hebei Road's inspector transfer envoy Wanyan Dingnu to be outstanding, and also served as the right deputy inspector to manage the guards , so it can be regarded as the commander of Gongwei Zhidu.

The arch guard is responsible for the rigorous guard of the body, and it is the emperor's close force.The commanders of the Gongwei Zhidu have always been served by close ministers, Shangyi, Fu Bao, and Fengyu who have served as foreign officials.For example, Wanyan Gang himself is like this.

But Wanyan Dingnu didn't have such qualifications... It's true that he was a close minister of the emperor, but that was when Emperor Zhang Zong was alive.And the friendship between the current emperor and Emperor Zhang Zong is a secret that everyone in the court keeps silent.

The recommendation of Wanyan Dingnu is totally against the rules.It is a disregard for the emperor to bring this matter up for discussion in the court.

But the emperor suddenly found that he was powerless to stop it.

After two disastrous defeats in the third year of Da'an and the first year of Chongqing, the prestige of the Dajin court has been shaken to a terrible degree, and the prestige of the current emperor is even more shaken than the prestige of the court.

Usually, every part of the imperial court tried their best to cover up, and at first glance, everything was peaceful, and he was still the emperor who kept his word.

But after an unexpected incident... no matter how absurd the incident was, the emperor suddenly lost the initiative.The officials of the civil and military factions in the court suddenly joined hands and arranged everything.

That series of appointments reached the point where the emperor had no choice but to approve them.And the emperor couldn't stop it at all.

Everything seems to be nothing special.Tu Danyi, like his appearance of being gentle and courteous, shrank his strength again; while Wan Yangang pushed the boat along, easily taking over everything that Tu Danyi gave up.This is not the first time something like this has happened in the past year.

But it was the first time that everything went smoothly without being led by the emperor himself!
Could it be that the Tudan clan broke the pot and smashed it deliberately to show the emperor's face?Or was Wanyan Gang overly assertive, having thoughts that he shouldn't have?The emperor couldn't figure it out.

He can only try his best to maintain the situation and try to suppress the two ministers at the same time.

How can someone who can become the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom be a fool?Especially in political battles, the emperor is by no means inferior to others.He quickly gathered enough support to launch a counterattack immediately.

In the following months, the emperor did three things successively.

One thing was that at the beginning of May, it was suddenly announced that the power to command about 3000 members of the Wuwei Army was handed over to the new right deputy marshal Hu Shahu, and he was stationed outside Tongxuanmen.

Perhaps the emperor felt that even though Hu Shahu, a rough warrior, had thousands of shortcomings, he was more reliable than the nobles and pillars of the court.But Hu Shahu got the military power in Zhongdu, and he really stood beside the emperor, and turned away from Wanyan Gang.

The second thing is to use Xu Ding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Wang Weihan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, as political advisers, that is, to expand the number of ministers in the current dynasty from two to four.

Xu Ding's father is Du Shisheng's old master, the ruling Xu Chiguo who was overthrown and criticized in the Zhangzong Dynasty and resigned sadly.And Wang Weihan was the one who assisted Xu in governing the country and made great achievements.

After the failure of Xu Zhiguo's political power, the group of Xumen officials fell apart, and even the best among them had been buried in complicated affairs for a long time.

Now the emperor has re-appointed him as the consul, and made him the second chancellor, saving George trouble... It seems that he has high hopes, but who knows what the effect will be?
Another thing is to change the yuan.

"So, so that Mr. Lang can know that it is not the July of the second year of Chongqing, but the July of the first year of Zhining."

"Zhi Ning?"

Guo Ning couldn't help laughing: "I heard that in Hedong, Shaanxi and other places, there was a severe drought this year, and people died of starvation. In the Central Plains, Shandong and other places, there are people who earn as much as [-] yuan for rice, and the people are struggling to survive. Such a situation , can it really be peaceful?"

The servants around Guo Ning couldn't answer his question, and neither could Du Shisheng.

Du Shisheng was dressed as a wealthy businessman, and he was dressed in dusty clothes.Not long after he came back from Zhongdu, what Guo Ning asked at this time, someone in Zhongdu City was also asking, and no one could answer.

At this time, the weather in late summer and early autumn is still very hot.Under the scorching sun, even the ground around Mianpitang was exposed to large cracks.The branches and leaves of the trees beside the road were scorched, looking listless.Before and after the army marched, it was full of dust.

Even the wind blowing from the sky over Pitang was hot and sandy.

Looking at the walled city in front of him from a distance, he could see figures swaying on the city, and some people ran back and forth in panic.Someone staggered up to set up the flag, but the flag could not be firmly established, and the north wind blew, and it was on the verge of falling.

Guo Ning looked at it for a moment, then asked, "Jinqing, what do you think?"
