Chapter 75
Half an hour ago, Prime Minister's Mansion, Study Room.

When Tu Danyi was working, it was strictly forbidden for idlers to approach, the study room was silent, and even the servants who occasionally passed by in the corridor outside the courtyard walked lightly.

When he went to Taiji Palace to meet Guo Ning, he didn't care about Chizhan Sagai's head and related documents and files, neither saying a word nor looking at it.But in the final analysis, this is to express peace and calm people's hearts.The number one political enemy in the court and the number one Yuan Rong official in the army, Wan Yangang's right-hand man died, how big a deal is this?

In response to this situation, there are many things to do in the follow-up, which must not be ignored!Both the head and the dossier are very useful!
Therefore, when he was leaving, Tu Shanyi winked a little, and some of his subordinates put away these two things and brought them back.

At this time, the wooden box containing Chizhan Sagai's head was placed at the end of the long table in the study.The file files were spread out, some had already been read, and some had read the beginning.

Tu Shanyi held a pen, staring at the contents of the file, sometimes thinking deeply, sometimes writing quickly.On the paper spread out on the sides of the case, more than half of it was densely written.

The study room is open and spacious, facing the pool on three sides, with good lighting.Most of the windows are open now, and the few closed ones are all made of precious Mingwa.But as Tu Danyi was writing, the sky gradually dimmed, and the shadow of the cornice gradually covered the book case.

Tu Shanyi didn't pay attention at all, and continued to write vigorously.It's just that he was old and dim-sighted, and when he was flipping through the file, his eyes were almost glued to the paper.

At this moment, the sound of steady footsteps came from outside the study, and a young scholar pushed the door in without haste, and gently placed a delicate yellow-green glazed candlestick with a seat in his hand in front of Tu Shanyi.Afterwards, he quietly stood aside, waiting calmly.

Candlelight illuminated the table case, Tu Shanyi was neither surprised nor asked, and continued to write.

Although there are a lot of secrets in his study, but just now he has already ordered, but if a scholar comes, there is no need to stop him.

Nowadays, inside and outside the Dajin court, talents are withering; but the scholar is a rising star that Tu Shanyi is extremely optimistic about, and he will become a great weapon in the future.Calling him this time is also to give him a heavy responsibility and to temper it.

After a while, Tu Shanyi stopped writing, stroked his forehead wearily, and took a break.

He is really not young anymore. Since he became the right prime minister last year, he has been exhausted, which has accelerated the decline of energy.In previous years, he reviewed official documents overnight, engaged in important military and political affairs, and went to court the next day, still in good spirits.But today, after only thinking about it for half an hour, he felt the blood vessels in his forehead throbbing, and the handwriting in front of his eyes seemed to become two or three, shaking non-stop, and then closed into one again.

He sighed, "I'm getting old!"

Sighing this sentence, he lost his mind for a moment, and said again: "There is one thing that is not so easy. But I have looked at all the students under my sect, and I have to do it to make people feel at ease."

The scholar replied respectfully: "You Cheng, but please tell me."

Tu Shanyi frowned slightly, thinking about it, and said slowly: "Today I saw a vicious tiger, and I intend to use it for myself, in case it is against a strong minister in case. However, the vicious tiger is very unruly and wants To use him, it must be equipped with an extremely thick and strong iron chain. But I am also worried that this vicious tiger is so wild that it cannot be restrained by the iron chain, and instead stretches its minions towards the owner of the iron chain."

"That is to say, the iron chain is on the master's side, of course it must be used as an iron chain; on the evil tiger's end, it must make the evil tiger happy and help it."

"Exactly!" Tu Danyi nodded, "Would you like to try?"

The scholar thought for a while: "How to do it, we need to plan carefully. You Cheng, I have to take a look first, what kind of person this evil tiger is."

"Go to Zhangyi Gate now, and you'll see it." Tu Danyi blinked cunningly: "If you happen to be in time, you can still see this vicious tiger leaping and devouring people."

The scholar was taken aback: "Zhangyi Gate? In Zhongdu?"

"That's right!"

Tu Danyi couldn't help laughing: "Although this evil tiger came to the door today with a gift, his tone was threatening. It's really ignorant. So, I have to let him suffer a little, so as not to He underestimated the Dajin court. More importantly, this is a necessary test."

"test?"

"The evil tiger's reputation is true, and its actions are indeed tyrannical. However, the enemy I want to use him against is not the previous thieves. The place where I need him to display it is not in those mountains and lakes. So..." Shan Yi said slowly: "There should be a test."

"So, who is in charge of the test?"

"Just Jinshou."

"Only Jinshou? Judge of the military guards?"

Tu Dan Jinshou is a mighty general in the military guards. He is known as a brave man who can fight against a hundred men. Most of his troops are elites who can drive three-stone crossbows and ride bad horses. Scholars have long admired his name.

But he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked suspiciously: "I remember, this one is a maverick in the Tudan clan. walking very close?"

Tu Shanyi smiled without saying a word.

The scholar suddenly realized: "So it is!"

He thought for a while, took half a step back, and bowed deeply: "You Cheng is really far-sighted and far-sighted, beyond the reach of others."

His voice is thick and deep, and when he opens his mouth to admire, it can make people feel that he is real and sincere from the heart.

Tu Shanyi pointed at the scholar: "Don't be so flattering!"

He said so on the lips, but he was able to lead this way in a hurry, and Tu Shanyi was actually a little proud.

After a pause, he couldn't help but said: "If the evil tiger passes the test, then we will have more powerful people in our hands who can fight against the strong officials. If the evil tiger fails the test, then Shan Jinshou will rely on this It just relieves the suspicion of some people, and it will be of great use in the future. In this way, it can be said that it is suitable for both advancement and retreat.”

"Then, I'll go to Zhangyimen first and take a look at the evil tiger."

"Go!"

After talking with the scholar for a few words, Tu Shanyi was in a good mood.Seeing the scholar retreating respectfully to the door of the study, he called him back again: "Actually, if Tu Shan Jinshou can catch this evil tiger, it is enough to prove himself to some people. You go to Zhangyi Gate and secretly replace me Pass a word, let him stop when enough is enough, and don't need to go to war."

The scholar nodded yes, turned around and left the study.

He has followed Tu Danyi for several years, and after hearing this sentence, he understood two things:
One, Tu Dan Youcheng actually admired the vicious tiger very much, so he finally decided to make an allowance for Tu Dan Jinshou and lower the difficulty of the test.

Two, the scholar and Tu Dan Jin Shousu, who held an important position as a judge in the military guards, did not know each other and had no contact with each other.But when this word spread today, the scholar stepped into the core layer of the political power of Tu Danyi, and would be able to get in touch with more secrets.

Thinking of this, the scholar hurried out and urged his horse to gallop in the direction of Zhangyi Gate.

However, when he was about to reach Zhangyi Gate, he saw the people leaving in a panic.After all, in the past two years, Zhongdu City was attacked by the Mongols twice, and the common people had already become frightened birds. Suddenly, seeing a large gathering of soldiers, many people immediately fled in all directions, shouting and shouting. After a while, it was squeezed into a black mass.

The scholar hastily dismounted, relying on his height and strength to push away several groups of people.

When he got close to the city gate, he took another look at the gate opening, and his eyes instantly passed the several people in the city gate cave, and fell on the cavalry outside the city.He exclaimed in surprise: "How did you start such a battle?"

At the same time, Guo Ning squinted his eyes, also looking at the approaching people who were approaching outside the opening of Zhangyi Gate.

These soldiers were very different from those guarding the city gate just now, all of them looked fierce and well-armed.Guo Ning himself is a veteran in the battlefield, so he can tell at a glance that many people still have a strong murderous look, obviously they have been through battles for a long time, have killed people with their own hands, and rolled over the pile of corpses!

Such experts, in an ordinary army, are at least backbone officers of the level of Mouk and Puliyan, and a few hundred people are enough to support tens of thousands.

Guo Ning's [-] soldiers in the Feijunhe camp are the only surviving essence of the hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the boundary trench, and I dare not say that they can be compared with it.

What's more, there are hundreds of those people, and they are waiting outside the city gate!

No matter how brave Guo Ning was, it was impossible for him to fight his way out of this layered army formation.What's more, the group of people didn't prepare for a fight, let alone attract attention, and they didn't wear armor on their bodies!

Guo Ning's thoughts turned.

On the gate tower of Zhangyi Gate, there should be someone condescendingly watching; while these hundreds of people are hiding in houses on both sides of the road outside the city gate.When the watchmen from above saw their party entering the doorway, they immediately sent out a signal, and then hundreds of elites swarmed out.

Calculated according to the normal time for passing through the doorway, the moment Guo Ning and others stepped out of the doorway, they should be surrounded by hundreds of people.But Guo Ning avoided the cart carrying charcoal in the door opening, and was delayed for a while, so Bu Qi appeared outside, but blocked Guo Ning and others in the door opening.

But it doesn't make a difference.

The difference is that the former is a self-trapping net; the latter is almost the same, it can be described as catching a turtle in the urn... Ah bah, it can be said to invite you into the urn.

How can it be?

The soldiers in front of them had been prepared for a long time, and there were even drums sounding from behind the army formation.The rumbling sound of the drum startled the people near the city gate to scatter in panic, startled the resting birds above the city, fluttered their wings and flew wildly.The sound of the drum echoed through the long doorway, and even the ground beneath Guo Ning and the others seemed to tremble a little.

Du Shisheng said angrily: "We came so quickly, how could it be...someone must have leaked our whereabouts! Most likely there are spies in Chongxuanzi's Taiji Palace! You don't need to speak, I will answer it!"

He was the one who arranged the trip to the central capital, and he immediately thought of what was wrong in the arrangement; then he thought of what kind of words to use to get out.

Zhao Jue said in a deep voice: "Answer me! I'll charge out first to attract their attention! Liu Lang, you can move a little slower and see if you have a chance."

He is a man who dares to die, so what he thought of was how to take advantage of the opportunity in a situation where he must die, and use his own life to win the victory for the general.

And Guo Ning shook his head: "Why do you want to go out?"

He looked at the people around him, and a eager smile appeared on his face: "If you can't move forward, then back off! As I said earlier, this capital city is a casino. Everyone, let's go back and play in the city." !"
