Chapter 617: Taishi

In the next few days, the Jingshi was calm, and the only wave was that the unlucky Bahechi was executed by Ling Chi, and Qin Lin warmly invited Huang Taiji, Gurge Taiji and others to visit.

The reason is also very high-sounding, Qin Lin said this: "Venerable Huang Taiji, your wife was killed in Jingshi, now let's execute the murderer for you, you can go and cut out the liver of that wolf-hearted guy and sacrifice it to Mrs. Zun's spirit!" ”

Huang Taiji had no choice, and he was also worried that Bahechi's brain would be messed up before he died, and if he spit out the truth, it would be even worse, so he really went to the vegetable market in person.

The detailed process of Ling Chi's execution, Qin Lin doesn't care, so he dissected [***] a lot of dead people, and he also dissected a lot of live frogs, rabbits, and chickens when he learned to dissect, where do you care about this?

Huang Taiji and his gang are different, watching their companions being cut by a thousand knives, what is the feeling in their hearts, it is really not enough for outsiders.

Bahe Chi was very hard, maybe he thought of his wife and children on the grassland, he never said a word, just looked at Huang Taiji with mournful eyes, and then waited for death and was punished by Ling Chi.

Other Mongolian nobles, in fact, almost all know it, look at Huang Taiji, who is a guest in fresh clothes, and then look at Bahechi, who has been cut into an insincere and benevolent shape, and there is no idea in his heart.

Genghis Khan Temujin once said: "The greatest joy in life is to hunt down your enemies everywhere, invade their lands, plunder their wealth, and then listen to the cries of their wives and children", their concept of right and wrong is very different from that of the Han land.

Kneeling to the powerful leaders and bullying and humiliating the weak are the natural laws of natural selection for the survival of the fittest on the grassland.

But as a leader, you must also protect your subordinates from being bullied by others, otherwise why should you be a cow and a horse?

Now Huang Taiji is still sitting well, his henchmen are pulling Hechi, but because of carrying out his orders, he was executed by the imperial court Ling Chi, let me ask Huang Taiji is still a qualified leader, does he still have the power of that kind of grassland hero?

The answer is not clear for the time being, but Huang Taiji himself must be more uncomfortable than eating.

Even if you return to the guild hall, there will be some unbearable noise.

"Hey, do you know, it turns out that Mongolia's Huang Taiji was cuckolded by his subordinates, haha, it's really embarrassing!" Ruan Song, the envoy of the Commander of Annam, fanned the pu fan with a smile, with the unique thief eyebrows and mouse eyes of the Annam people.

Mahara, the tributary envoy of the Cambodian State with a black and yellow face, also laughed playfully: "These Tartars, shouting and shouting all day long, thinking that they are amazing, now they are good, and they are disgraced and thrown to Java." ”

"Hey, brother, don't talk nonsense, I don't have such a person as Huang Taiji in Java," it was no one else who spoke, it was really a tribute envoy from Java.

Poof~~ Immediately laughed and sprayed a lot, Java was lying down and was shot.

The rumors and rumors seem to have long legs, and a few words have reached Huang Taiji's ears, but what can he do? This is called lifting a stone and shooting oneself in the foot, and inflicting self-inflicted suffering.

The long-prepared Hajj ceremony was finally held as scheduled in the boundless depression of Huang Taiji.

Strange to Qin Lin, His Holiness Welling did not attend the meeting, he claimed to have retreated for thirteen days to pray for the blessings of all the people in the world, and to protect the stability of the Daming Society forever, and only sent the Great Lama Nyima to participate in the Hajj on his behalf.

The Ming court has always used religion to control Wu Sizang, canonizing the Dharma King, the empowerment of the great teacher, the national teacher and other titles at all levels, even the Nyima also has a monk position, and he is the second generation of the Jinding Temple's disciple, of course there is no problem with him on behalf of him.

In view of the solemn prestige of His Holiness Tsogyada Varpindi Welling, the imperial court also sent people to pay their respects, but they were all blocked from the ashram of Longfu Monastery.

On this day, Qin Lin, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, entered the palace early and cooperated with Liu Shouyou to arrange and inspect various honor guard work.

The Hajj is a national ceremony, of course Liu Shouyou will not be ignorant of the severity, although he and Qin Lin have always picked their noses and eyes, this time they also became honest and put on a posture of sincere cooperation, and the two of them actually completed the work politely.

Qin Lin and Liu Shou were false and wronged, and the two guys were fake, which made Hong Yangshan and Ma Bin, who came with them, laugh in their stomachs.

The flowers welcome the sword and wear the stars at the beginning of the fall, the willow breeze flag is not dry, the Wanli Emperor is in the imperial palace, the civil and military ministers on both sides stand, the twenty-four elephants carry the treasure bottle at the bottom, and the dense layers of Han generals are all wearing red clothes and silver armor to escort them, and they are arranged neatly and neatly, and they are really magnificent.

The envoys of the vassal vassals of Mongolia, Turkey, Dashi, Uszang, Siam, Cambodia, Korea, Ryukyu and other countries entered from the noon gate, and they were all changed out of their own clothes and crowns, put on the official uniforms given by the Ming Dynasty, and swayed one by one, and looked like that from a distance.

From the perspective of future generations, the Ming Dynasty is very domineering, all countries and vassals of the Tusi to pay tribute to the pilgrimage, must wear the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, not allowed to wear the barbarian clothes of their own country, and must first be taught etiquette by the Honglu Temple, perform Han etiquette, answer the emperor correctly in Chinese and shout long live.

What, don't know Chinese? Yes, please go back, we will not entertain you!

It's a pity that the envoys of various countries approached, and they immediately showed timidity, either a black face, as if they had just been dug out of the coal kiln, with two white eyes and terrifying, or five short legs, high cheekbones, and a mouth, which looked similar to a monkey, as long as the appearance of the North Korean envoy was passable, Murad who looked like a lamp god was also extremely high-sounding.

Drink! Jin Sakurahime, who was a little behind the king's envoys, caused a small stir among the courtiers, for no other reason, but really stood out from the crowd.

But seeing a group of strange-shaped envoys, Yingzhou Xuanyu envoy wore a crown of phoenix wings to the sky, wore a red silk robe, tied a red phoenix sunrise belt around his waist, and pedaled on his feet, just like a red and bright morning sun rising above the East China Sea, radiant.

Her melon seed face is slightly flushed without fat powder, a pair of smoky eyes with three points of sea moisture, and a red cherry mouth, which is quite enchanting and charming, but her expression is solemn, and she is wearing a scarlet official robe, which makes her more and more graceful.

Many eyes were on Qin Lin, and the officials who knew a little bit of the inside story were all envious, jealous and hateful to Chief Qin!

Ahem, Qin Lin coughed twice and smiled at Jin Yingji.

Jin Yingji did not shy away from taboos, and also smiled in the direction of Qin Lin, the rising morning sun shone on her face, there was no enchantment, only showy.

"It's really a national color!" Even Emperor Wanli on the throne lost his mind for a moment.

Zhang Whale, who was good at flattery, immediately bowed down and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty?" ”

Wanli immediately sat up straight, and said lightly: "It's just a word, what do you think?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Whale was deflated, Zhang Cheng, who was standing on the left, was secretly refreshed.

And don't say that the female toast is definitely not something that the emperor can touch, if you want to fight that crooked idea, I am afraid that from the queen mother to Zhang Xiangye to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will send out carpet bombing, not to mention that in the past two days, His Majesty has been fighting with the palace maid surnamed Zheng, the two of them are like glue, where are there other women who can dream of other women?

Speaking of which, General Qin's vision is really good, the palace maid not only looks handsome, which makes the emperor fascinated her, but the means are even more different, as a palace maid, she dares to pinch the emperor's ears, and even hug him, and touch his head with a smile...... Hey, the emperor still obeyed her, and she was so confused that the prince of Cining Palace who was fortunate a few days ago gradually showed her stomach, and the emperor didn't even ask, it seems to be too ruthless and unrighteous, right?

Mmmm, you're just a eunuch, why do you want to do so much? Zhang Cheng secretly pinched himself, feeling that General Qin was really worthy of being a blessed general, and the palace maid he and Zhang Xiaoyang mentioned in passing, they didn't care about helping her transfer to the Heart Cultivation Palace, who knew that she was suddenly looked down on by Wanli?

If it's not good, the Zheng family will have to be a concubine in the future, right? Zhang Cheng felt that this step was the right one.

Of course, a concubine seems to be a great thing for a palace maid, even if Zhang Cheng knows that Wanli is like glue to Zheng Zhen, he will never think of where this young woman will go in the future.

The three sounds of the whip, the sound of the golden drums, and the great work of Chinese music dispelled Zhang Cheng's cranky thoughts, and also interrupted the little ambiguity between Qin Lin and Jin Yingji.

In the long history of thousands of years, China is the center of the Oriental world in any case, and the Hajj system established even reaches as far as Turkey, which is enough to stand proudly on the top of the world at the same time.

The banquet of the Emperor's Palace is the last item of the entire Hajj ceremony, and Qin Lin, as the hero of the envoy who appeased Yingzhou, of course, also participated.

"You admire my Heavenly Dynasty and come to the Hajj from thousands of miles away, and I am very relieved!" Wanli said happily, and deliberately turned to Qin Lin: "It is worth mentioning that there is one more Yingzhou consolation envoy who came to participate in the Hajj this time than in previous years!" Last year, Myanmar paid no tribute, I'm afraid some people want to say that I am a weak minister, but this year is the situation of all countries coming to the court, haha, facts speak louder than words! ”

It can be seen that Wanli is very happy, Confucianism says that the holy monarch and virtuous ministers are in power, and only then can the eight sides give up the four Yi to the court, and turning over the four Yi to the court also proves that the emperor is wise and the courtiers are virtuous.

There are no emperors of all dynasties who don't like this kind of scene.

Zhang Juzheng also looked proud, quite proud, and even threw a warning look at the dejected Huang Taiji: The old man is holding the right position and the world is powerful, how dare you speak wildly and threaten to start a war with my Daming? This time, I will kill you first, if you still don't repent, don't say it!

Zhang Xiangye didn't want to fight before the reform was completed, but he almost did his best to support Qi Jiguang to organize and train the new army, and instructed Zeng Xingwu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and other ministers to make muskets and artillery. The rest of the good words of Huang Taiji will obviously not last long.

Feeling the warning from Zhang Xiangye, Huang Taiji became more and more depressed, this time he lost his wife and broke his soldiers, and even his hat was a little green, he was really dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say what he was suffering from.

The more Wanli talked, the happier he became, it seemed that the nourishment of love was indeed different, and he even joked with Qin Lin: "Qin Aiqing, you recruited Yingzhou Jin Xuan's consolation envoy, and you went to sea again, and fought hard with the rebellious Sea Shark Society and the White Lotus Sect, and you really worked hard; General Jin's return to the Celestial Empire is also gratifying. Why don't Qin Aiqing sit at the same table with General Jin and greet General Jin for me. ”

Qin Lin was stunned, seeing that there was nothing wrong with Wanli's face, it was funny in his heart.

Anyone who knew a little bit about the inside story of the ministers was almost fainting, Qin Lin and Jin Yingji feasted at the same table at the state banquet of the Emperor's Palace, these two really broke the precedent...... However, Jin Yingji is a female toast, and this is a state banquet surrounded by foreign officials, so it is really difficult to send concubines, princesses, and women to accompany her, and asking Qin Lin, a recruiting official, to accompany her, is also the most appropriate choice on the surface.

As for secretly, Xu Wenbi and Zhu Yingzhen looked at each other and smiled evilly: If you don't say it, I won't say it, let's not say it, haha!

The thickness of Qin Lin's face is definitely at the level of ancient times, no matter what the lofty status of the state banquet of the Emperor's Palace, Wanli said so, he is respectful and obedient, and he will be ordered to sit face to face with Jin Yingji.

Wanli is absolutely down, and I am joking when I say in my heart, where are you really going to sit opposite General Jin? Qin Aiqing is still sincere! After all, men and women don't kiss each other, I don't know if General Jin will be angry if he talks about this set...... Where to get angry? Being able to eat and drink with the lover at the state banquet of the Emperor's Palace, although this is not a great honor, it is also a rare adventure.

Jin Yingji's face was slightly red, she quietly glanced at Qin Lin, and said in a low voice: "Little wrongdoer, are you really eating wine with slaves?" ”

"What's the matter, this official is on the order to Fu Yi," Qin Lin was ashamed, his eyes slipped and slipped, and he slipped under the collar of Jin Yingji.

Thinking of how this enemy "fuyi", Jin Yingji's face turned redder and redder, and she wanted to kick him hard from under the table.

Qin Lin and Jin Ying Ji Lang were in a very good mood, and the amount of food was much larger than usual, gobbling it up, which provoked General Jin to hide his mouth and smile several times.

Emperor Wanli looked at it quite approvingly, nodded and said: "Well, Qin Aiqing really gets along with General Jin very well, although there are many virtuous ministers now, since Wang Chonggu, Fang Fengshi, and Wu Dui, when it comes to being good and able to Fuyi, Qin Aiqing is the first." ”

Depend on! Feng Bao, Zhang Whale, and Zhang Cheng raised their middle fingers at Qin Lin in their hearts at the same time, Your Majesty wants to know how this guy soothed Yi, can you still say this?

However, let's also slander in our hearts, if anyone speaks out and destroys the prosperous atmosphere of this dynasty of all nations, it will really be damned.

At the end of the Hajj ceremony, just at the end of the day, the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called holy monarch and virtuous ministers are in power, and there are all countries to come to the court, and now the reason why my Great Ming Dynasty has been respected by the four Yi is that His Majesty is the son of the Holy Tomorrow, and Mr. Taifu Zhang is dedicated to assisting, so the minister does not take the liberty and asks Mr. Zhang to be the Taishi, in order to show his honor, and also to show the envoys of the Quartet that I have a holy monarch and virtuous ministers!" ”

The seat was full of silence, and it must be known that Taibao Taifu Taishi is called the Three Princes, the Ming Dynasty system, Wenchen can only posthumously seal the Three Princes after his death, and only Li Shanchang, the founding prime minister of the Hongwu period, is alive, and now Zhang Juzheng, who has been crowned the Taifu.

If Zhang Juzheng is promoted to Taishi, he will be the first person in the Ming Dynasty in two hundred years after Li Shanchang!

Although someone had already played it, Wang Guoguang proposed it at this time, and Wanli still felt abrupt and set his sights on his teacher.

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, and politely refused: "How can the old man be virtuous, dare to give birth to a great master, a supreme minister?" Wang Tianguan praised falsely, and the old man was ashamed. ”

Wang Guoguang said: "The sage Yun 'should not let go', Mr. Zhang's virtue for the country and the people is demonstrated, I answer the tribute, Yingzhou appeased, if you refuse again, it will inevitably chill the hearts of hundreds of officials, and also make Siyi misunderstand that my Heavenly Empire cannot appoint meritocracy." ”

Well, this is a wonderful thing, not only Zhang Juzheng's personal gains and losses, but also the attitude of hundreds of officials and the face of the court.

Zeng Xingwu immediately went out and played: "What Wang Shangshu said is reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" ”

Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also said: "Yes, Mr. Zhang regulates yin and yang, Ming Zheng gains and losses, and he should be promoted to the Taishi, so as to show Siyi that I am the king of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the household department, Pan Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Seal, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, came out of the class one after another.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and the Jiangling Party occupied half of the country, and this time the momentum was suddenly huge, and Yan Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Chen Yan and others were all discolored.

Everyone's hearts are pounding, and it depends on how Wanli acts.

"Hahaha, good, good!" Wanli laughed loudly, then nodded incessantly, and said continuously: "Everyone, Aiqing Gongzhong, your invitation, I have approved!" Mr. Zhang has been an assistant to the government since I was a child, and his merits are high, and the position of the Taishi should have been awarded to Mr. I should have issued a decree a long time ago, and now I have to invite the ministers, which is a temporary oversight! ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and arched his hand: "Your Majesty's words are serious, how can the old minister dare to be promoted to the position of Taishi?" ”

Wanli smiled more and more, and soothed with warm words, Zhang Juzheng resolutely refused, this teacher and student come and go, and Tai Chi Yun played vividly.

The so-called Taishi, in charge of the Son of Heaven, Yin and Yang, through the state Honghua, his position is the most important, the Ming Dynasty did not set up a prime minister, Zhang Juzheng was the actual regent in the position of the first assistant, and then added the title of Taishi, it was really a very human minister.

"What's the matter, little wrongdoer," Jin Yingji secretly pinched Qin Lin, now they are no longer the focus of attention of the civil and military officials and the envoys of the Four Yi, "Zhang Juzheng has become a prince, you still dare to kidnap his daughter?" ”

Qin Lin Zhengse said: "Although there are thousands of people, I will go!" ”

With a snort, Jin Yingji snickered and glanced at him: "Lustful!" ”

The Taiji Cloud Hand of the master and apprentice finally divided the victory and defeat, on the surface, Zhang Juzheng was defeated, and finally reluctantly accepted the position of Taishi, but in fact, everyone knows what is going on.

After the state banquet, Zhang Juzheng walked out of the Imperial Palace surrounded by all the officials, and saw Qin Lin's eyes with a little different color, the old gentleman stopped his steps, looked up at the changing sky, and said slowly: "A very human minister, in charge of the dynasty alone, why is it?" Those who know me, their only "Spring and Autumn"! Those who sin against me are the only ones in "Spring and Autumn"! ”
