The capital of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

It was snowing up and down the sky, and the pedestrians on the street were wearing thick clothes, but their cheeks were still red with cold cheeks. This place was colder than that in Liaodong.

Mengyuan Palace, Hall of Heart.

Six eunuchs stood aside to serve. Emperor Mengba, who was named Jin Yanyu, was wearing a blue long gown and a black Confucian scarf on his head.

This outfit made him feel as if he was influenced by Confucianism and had a peaceful atmosphere.

He bent down and looked at the new top scholar, and the Hanlin Academy Shuji Shi Tao Dayou painted. He painted a picture of a [hermit picture]. Between the mountains and flowing waters, a hermit sat cross-legged on a big stone to play the piano, leisurely and contented.

When Tao Dayou finished painting, Emperor Mengba praised: "Tao Zhuangyuan is really a masterpiece of painting."

Tao Dayou raised his head and said, "Your Majesty praised me. My painting is just a third-rate, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the true painting master."

"The top scholar is humble. In my heart, the top scholar's painting is of course the best."

Emperor Momba said with a smile.

Tao Dayou's eyes were slightly red, his hands were hanging down, and he bent down and said nothing.

He was able to win the top scorer. Of course, he was also talented. But he knew that his talent could only win the top scorer in Liaodong. If it weren't for the imperial examinations of our dynasty, he would not have won the top scorer in Chu.

Twenty years of hard study, isn’t it for this day?

He was grateful to the Yuan Dynasty court in his heart and was willing to learn from Zhuge Kongming and devote himself to his entire life until his death.

"Take it and frame it. Just hang it in the Hall of Peaceful Heart. I can watch it all the time." Emperor Mengba was able to win people's hearts and turned around and ordered.

"Abide by the order."

The eunuch bent down and responded.

"I have made some good tea, come." Emperor Mengba immediately greeted and walked towards the small door on the right side of Yangxin Hall.

"Yes." Tao Dayou responded respectfully and followed closely.

Walking through the small door, there is a small living room. At the northernmost location, there is a royal seat and two rows of Taishi chairs on both sides.

Emperor Mengba and Tao Dayou each sat down, and the eunuch brought the tea cups, and the two of them tasted the tea.

After a cup of tea, Emperor Mengba raised his head and said to Tao Dayou: "Tao Zhuangzong. Our dynasty used troops to Liaodong and won consecutive battles. However, he was defeated repeatedly in the small quagmire of Beishan Fort. For this, you have

What a plan?"

He just said casually that he had no expectations for Tao Da.

But after saying it, he felt a headache again. Wu Nian, who could not be beaten to death in Beishan Fort, became a heart-wrenching illness among the court.

The invincible soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan warriors were unable to seize this small Beishan Fort.

It's really weird.

Tao Dayou was grateful to the court and the emperor, and he really thought about this on weekdays. He blurted out: "Your Majesty, you can surround Beishan Fort and restrict the import of grain, salt and iron ore to Beishan Fort."

"I don't know what the top scholar has. I have asked someone to do this long ago." Emperor Momba smiled and shook his head. What am I looking forward to?

"The strength is not enough. Although this official restricts the import of salt, iron ore and grain into Beishanbao, the smuggling phenomenon is still very serious. Beishanbao has many mountain roads and is well-connected. It is easy for smuggling people to send goods in."

"The court should make greater efforts to arrest and punish these smuggled people."

"Without salt, people have no strength. Without iron ore, Wu Nian cannot create more weapons."

Tao Dayou said seriously with all his heart and strength.

"Well. The top scholar said it makes sense. We must indeed increase the crackdown on smuggling merchants." Emperor Momba nodded. In fact, the blockade of the Mongol Yuan is now very strict, but it can be even stricter.

"The top scholar has really come up with a good idea. Come and reward the top scholar with a piece of Duke Yu Ruyi." Emperor Mengba said with a smile.

"yes."

The eunuch next to him was ready and responded.

"I am afraid." Tao Dayou quickly stood up from the chair, knelt down and lay on the ground, and said in a terrible manner.

"What are you afraid of? The top scholar has come up with a good idea. If you can kill Wu Nian, it will eliminate my confidant troubles. What is Yu Ruyi?"

Emperor Momba stood up with a smile, bent down and helped Tao Dayou up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tao Dayou's eyes turned red and shed two lines of tears.

I, Tao Dayou, met such a wise master in this life, and I have no regrets in this life.

Emperor Mengba said something to Tao Dayou and tasted another cup of tea. Tao Dayoucai came out of the Hall of Harmony with an exquisite wooden box.

There is a soft sedan chair outside the hall.

Sitting in a sedan chair in the palace is the treatment of an old minister.

Tao Dayou took a deep breath, almost shed tears. He bent down and entered the sedan chair and headed towards the palace gate.

After leaving the palace gate, Tao Dayou came to his sedan chair. He first handed the exquisite box in his arms to his confidant Liu Guang. He ordered: "Xiao Liu. Take four people with you. Let's take this thing first.

Send it back to the house and hand it over to the wife.”

"Yes." Liu Guang responded and immediately took the four people down.

This way.

There were only two sedan chairmen left beside Tao Dayou, two long followers and four guards with swords. Tao Dayou looked at the sky and it was almost noon.

He had a date with Jin Youyuan, a royal family member outside the city.

"Go out of the city. Go to the village where the Duke of the State is outside the city." Tao Dayou got into the sedan chair and ordered.

"yes."

Everyone responded. They surrounded Tao Dayou's sedan chair and walked south out of the city gate and headed towards Jin Youyuan's manor.

Although it is now snowy and ice, it is the capital of the Mongolian Yuan. After leaving the city, people are coming and going on the road.

Whether it was Tao Dayou or the follower's sword-bearing guard, Changsui, he was not wary.

How many years have passed.

Only the Mongolian Yuan court was causing trouble in Liaodong, and no Chu people dared to cause trouble outside this Mongolian Yuan capital.

This is the best place under the feet of the emperor.

Who dares?

"If you want to establish yourself in the Mongolian and Yuan court, you must establish a good relationship with these royal family ministers. Jin Youyuan's love for Sinology is a good breakthrough."

Tao Dayou pinched her beard and was thinking in her heart.

Where there are people, there are worlds. Although he is now in the heart of the emperor and has an emperor as his backer, he also needs connections in the court.

Just in front of Tao Dayu's team, more than a dozen people came towards him wearing four large carts with firewood.

Tao Dayou's guards with knives did not respond at all. The weather is so cold now, and the population in the capital is large, and there is a huge demand for wood.

This kind of big truck that transports firewood is the most common.

The man walking in the front was nothing else. It was Wu Nian's assassin, Guan Dadao. He wore a hat on his head, a hatchet on his waist, and a worn linen clothes on his body, which looked very much like

woodcutter.

At the moment when both sides intersected, Guan Dadao pulled out the hatchet at his waist in the blink of an eye, took one of the guards unexpectedly, and chopped it to the ground. He then raised his right foot and stomped the other party's neck.

The assassin who was with him took action almost at the same time.

He killed Tao Dayou's entourage completely.

Guan Dadao rushed into the sedan chair, looked at the panicked Tao Dayou, and grinned, "Old thief. Today is your death."

After saying that, he raised his kitchen knife, cut a gap on Tao Dayou's neck, almost cutting off his head. Then he grabbed Tao Dayou's body with both hands and dragged it out.

An assassin took out two white cloths and covered Tao Dayou's body.

A piece of cloth says [Han Thief].

A piece of cloth says [Ten Thousand Years of Infatuation].

Another assassin took out a sign and inserted it on Tao Dayou's body. The sign read.

"This is the case for the Han general Wu Gong to fight against the Han thief Tao."

After doing these things neatly, Guan Dadao greeted his brothers, turned around and strided south, and disappeared into the white wind and snow.

This happened very quickly and ended in the blink of an eye.

Passers-by, caravans, etc. around were all stunned.

immediately.
