Chapter 3 Borrowing a Knife (Part 1)

"Hiss." Tuohuan Timuer's brows quickly frowned into the character "Sichuan", and his thin face was covered with red clouds.

Tutuo was both civil and military, and his skills were beyond the reach of the ministers in the court. He knew very well in his heart. However, the reason why he risked destroying more than 200,000 troops was to support Yue Kuochaer and others to replace Tutuo because Tutuo was too capable and talented, and had reached the point where he could be out of control at any time.

The power of prime ministers is too heavy, which is a chronic disease left by the Yuan Dynasty since its founding. The more capable the prime minister is, the greater the threat to the monarch. Tuhuan Timur, who has been a puppet for many years, does not want to do it again in his life, so he must take it down before Tutuo's wings are full, even though he knows that the other party is loyal.

Besides, loyalty can only guarantee a moment and cannot guarantee eternity. Tuhuan Timuer clearly knows how strong Tutuo's desire for power is, so he believes that even in his lifetime, Tutuo could think of each other's friendship and not make usurpation. When he returned from his crane, Tutuo would inevitably become the second second in Yan Timuer.

Besides Kublai Khan, the Taborjijin family, there are few people who live long. From the destruction of the Song Dynasty in the ninth year of Zhiyuan to the present, fourteen emperors have been replaced in just seventy-six years.

Although Tuhuan Timur is only 35 years old this year, he has been an emperor for twenty-two years. Compared with the five emperors in front of him, including Yingzong, Taiding, Wenzong, Mingzong, Ningzong and other consecutive emperors, they are considered long-lived and promising. Because of this, he is even more afraid of the series of tragic disasters that happened to Emperor Yingzong. He would rather sacrifice Tutuo than return to the old path of his predecessors, (Note 1)

However, deep in Tuhuantemuer's heart, he knew that Tutuo was wronged by him, and that he had to offer sacrifices to resolve the knot between the monarch and the prime minister's power. Therefore, after Tutuo voluntarily gave up his military power, he could not bear to continue to force him. Even in the memorials of Yue Kuocha'er, Taibuhua, Xuexue and others, he alluded to prove that Tutuo had set up an ambush and intercepted the army that protected the imperial edict.

However, today, Qi's few seemingly careless words deeply hurt him, forcing him to reconsider his choice, write books and cultivate talents for the court. Sima Qian's record of the grand historian brought shame to several emperors of the Han Dynasty to this day. With Tuotuo's talent to concentrate on his studies, he will definitely be a great sage in the future. However, such a great sage was abandoned twice by him. Wouldn't he become a foolish emperor for the ages?

Besides, Tuotuo was originally full of party members in the court. If he was dormant on the surface and worked hard to cultivate his heirs in secret, he would be unable to guard against it. To maintain the operation of the court, he would have to choose virtuous people. If he wanted to choose virtuous people, he would inevitably be mixed up by Tuotuo's disciples. Once these people formed power again, what would be the difference between Tuotuo's in the wild and in the court? What is the use of all the efforts and sacrifices he made today?

Thinking of this, the last bit of old feelings in Tuohuan Timur's heart disappeared without a trace. He held Qi's hand tightly and said gritting his teeth: "It's a blessing for you to remind me, otherwise I'll almost be deceived by others this time. You are right. Since I don't want to use him, I shouldn't keep him anymore, otherwise he will sooner or later laugh at me."

"I am so painful, your Majesty, you have hurt me." The second queen Qi leaned back and reminded her in a soft voice.

"Ah,." Tuohuan Timuer was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was angry and had no control. He looked down and saw that Qi Shi's four fingers that he had held had turned purple and black, and he almost broke his bones.

"It's okay, maybe it's okay. I'll find some blood-activated medicine to wipe it off later." Before he could say his apology, Qi Shi took the initiative to withdraw her fingers and whispered comforting her while whispering to her mouth.

"I, I." Seeing Qi Shi enduring the pain and begging Qu Yi, Tuhuan Timur felt even more guilty. He stretched out his arms and held Qi Shi in his arms, and said loudly: "It's me that's not good. I'll forget everything when I'm anxious, I'll forget everything."

"Your Majesty" Qi Shi gently turned her soft body and slowly covered her mouth with her other hand. "Your Majesty and I don't need to say this. If Your Majesty is still here, you have no place to vent your anger. Wouldn't that be too bitter? What kind of smell does such an emperor have to do?"

This sentence hit Tuhuan Timur's heart again, which made him unable to help but move. He gently grabbed Qi Shi's fingers that were hurt by him, put them in his palm again, rubbed them slowly, and whispered: "As long as you are by my side, I will be content even if I don't become this emperor now. You don't know that over the years, I always recalled the days when I was in Goryeo and were with you, and I was warm in my heart and I would never think about anything else."

"So, I am." Qi Shi moved her body gently, changed to a more comfortable position, and snuggled in Tuhuan Timur's arms.

It's very warm. Compared to the washboard-like body, this body is now obviously wider and more worthy of relying on, but she doesn't want to rely on anyone anymore.

She was the second queen of the Yuan Dynasty and should have her own team. In fact, she already has her own team. This team can allow her to maintain a certain power and status without obtaining the support of Tuhuan Timur. This team has been growing at a speed visible to the naked eye and will sooner or later become a towering tree.

"Is the queen more comfortable?" Tuhuan Timur's arms tightened, and his voice was filled with gentleness.

"It's much more comfortable. Your Majesty, let me rely on you for a while, and it will be fine in a while. I, my heart is so warm." Qi moved his body again, as soft as boneless.

The couple were thinking about their own thoughts, and no one spoke for a moment. The figures snuggled together seemed extremely warm. It was not until the beeswax on the table suddenly jumped and a string of bright sparks burst out. They were awakened suddenly and shouted in unison: "What are you doing? The wax core is so long that it can't be cut."

"I am here, I am here. Your Majesty, please spare your life. I am afraid of disturbing Your Majesty and the Queen, so I didn't dare to come in." Park Buhua, who had been waiting for the call outside the door, rushed in and lay on the ground and shouted for guilt.

"Go to work, stop talking." Tuhuan Timur glanced at his wife and slowly let go of his arm. He said something that he should say at any time. The second queen reacted too quickly today, and was so quickly out of line with her previous lazy appearance.

Qi Shi also realized what she had shown before, and sat upright with a blushing face, continuing to look soft and weak, "Your Majesty, I, I didn't mean it, I just did it."

"You have the final say in your place." Tuhuan Timur waved his arm and interrupted it very generously, but he could no longer find the tenderness that had been a moment ago in his heart.

"Or, your Majesty will rest here tonight. It's so late. Your Majesty will put all the state affairs tomorrow." Qi Shi felt very keen. She suddenly realized that the distance between the two sides was gradually increasing. After thinking about it, she raised her red lips like a flame to ask for permission.

"Well" Timur suddenly felt a heat in his heart. However, he remembered that Qi said that his body was inconvenient and he was a little interested. "Since the Queen is inconvenient, I should go to another place to rest. I, I still have many things on hand, and I need to hurry up and deal with it."

After saying that, he felt a sense of silence again. He didn't want to see Qi's disappointed god. He stood up and walked to Qi's efforts to send someone to get out the spinning wheel and loom. He hesitated and said: "If this thing is really as good as you said, you might as well let Guo Liuzhi make a batch of it first. If you send someone to get the expenses directly to the inner warehouse, if he can make a hydraulically driven machine, he will report it to me quickly. I, I need these things very much now."

"Yes, I will urge them to get the hydraulic power out as soon as possible." Seeing that Tuohuan Timur's attention had completely returned to the serious matter, Qishi knew that she could no longer keep him tonight, and sighed quietly in her heart and responded with a forced smile.

"Then the queen should rest early, I will continue to deal with the matter." Tuhuan Timur smiled and ordered again, turned around, and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

"Go on, the emperor is going to go back to the imperial study." Park Buhua opened his throat and shouted loudly, then picked up the lantern and quickly chased after him, "Your Majesty, it's dark here, let me, the old dog, be the pioneer of your Majesty."

"You are an unscrupulous person. What else can you do besides being able to flatter me?" Tuohuan Timur smiled with his head raised and quickly forgot the unhappiness in his heart.

"I am Your Majesty's lackey. Of course, I have to do my best to do my part. As for assisting Your Majesty in governing the country, it is the responsibility of the outside prime minister and ministers. I am not capable of taking care of it." Park Buhua bowed his body and continued to smile.

"You old guy, you know yourself." Tuohuan Timur raised his legs, kicked a footprint on his butt, then turned around and silently looked at Guanghan Palace, which was left behind.

The second queen Qi took a group of palace maids out of the door. Her petite body seemed more and more charming under the light and shadow of water. However, Tuhuan Timur forced herself to force herself to force herself and never look back. Some things cannot be shared with others, even if it is her wife and son.

Although Qi Shi has been at peace, his performance tonight has already made him feel a little dangerous. Although Tuhuan Timur didn't know where this dangerous feeling came from, he did not doubt its authenticity, because it was a special skill given to him by the Heaven of Longevity. He had almost never made any mistakes over the years. It was with this mysterious instinct that he was invincible in the fight with powerful ministers and the queen mother until he stomped all his opponents to pieces.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to illuminate the road behind you?" Park Buhua asked very promptly, with a hint of expectation in his words.

"Control your own affairs." Tohwan Timur quickly took his eyes back from a distance and ordered Park Buhua, "Go back to the Imperial Study and hold on to the memorials of Sang Geshuli and others. I will review them overnight."
