Chapter 514
Chapter 514 Tang Yin finally waited for the coveted Son of Heaven to give him the edict, and finally ascended to the throne of the Wind King justifiably.
The news soon spread outside the palace, and the people who were waiting outside the palace heard the news, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Yin's actions to maintain his reputation have indeed won him a lot of popular hearts, and the most important point is that Liang Xing's claim to the throne during this period of time has plunged Yancheng into a tense and terrifying atmosphere, making people seem to have returned to the Zhongtian era, and invisibly reducing Liang Xing's prestige in the eyes of the people. In addition, Tang Yin's background is far inferior to the traditional magnates such as Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun, and even he, a young man from an ordinary background, can be the throne of the king of the upper wind, which makes the people vaguely feel that they will also be able to add officials to the knighthood one day, and the court is no longer controlled by the traditional magnates.
With the arrival of the edict of the Son of Heaven, Tang Yin changed from the head of the county who controlled the military power to a veritable monarch, and he didn't have to go out of the palace anymore, and he could live in the name of it.
The strategists and generals under Tang Yin's command were naturally happy, and people were waiting outside the main hall, just waiting for the ministers in the hall to get out of the hall as soon as possible, so that they could go in and congratulate Tang Yin. Now, except for Liang Xing, the ministers' attitude towards Tang Yin has taken a 180-degree turn, and they must be respectful and respectful, and they will do their best to flatter.
Surrounded by ministers, Tang Yin walked up the steps in the center of the hall and headed straight for the Wind King's chair. Sitting on this chair, it is the Wind King, the supreme lord of the Wind Country, Tang Yin also sat in the palace before, but he was pulled down by Qiu Zhen and others for the first time, and now he sits on it again, he is already above board and well-deserved.
Tang Yin walked to the king's chair and turned around, and before he could sit down, Zhang Xin, one of the ministers, suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, the king!"
Unexpectedly, he had been crowned king by the Son of Heaven, and someone dared to prevent him from sitting on the king's chair, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell directly on Zhang Xin's face.
The ministers on the left and right also felt that Zhang Xin was too ignorant of current affairs, and now that Tang Yin was already the king of the wind who was personally appointed by the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be self-defeating to oppose him at this time? As soon as his voice fell, a minister immediately made a dissatisfied voice and said, "Why did Lord Zhang prevent the king from taking his seat?"
"Yes, Lord Zhang doesn't know the rules too much, right?!"
Tang Yin's anger just now disappeared in an instant, looking at the ministers below, he felt very funny, when the edict of the Son of Heaven did not arrive, they simply regarded themselves as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and they couldn't pick their own skin and pull their own tendons, but now it's good, almost all of them turned against each other and began to speak for themselves.
The world is hot and cold, the people are warm and cold, and there are three knives on both sides, nothing more than this.
Zhang Xin swallowed and foamed, ignoring the other ministers who scolded him, but said cautiously to Tang Yin: "The king must not misunderstand the meaning of Weichen, Weichen thinks that the king should remove this king chair, this chair is too unlucky, the first king died on it, and then Zhong Tian did not sit for long, and then Liang Xiang ...... Oh...... Liang sat for a shorter time, only twenty days, so the king should summon the skilled craftsmen from all over the country to enter the capital and build another king's chair for the king. ”
Hearing this, the ministers present all slapped their thighs secretly and regretted it, yes, why didn't they think of this, but let Zhang Xin, the old fox, take the lead. Liang Xing even had a crooked nose, he thought that Zhang Xin still had a bit of integrity, but at this time he still opposed Tang Yin being king, but he didn't expect that he could flatter him better than anyone else.
Tang Yin blinked at first, and then couldn't help but laugh on his back, Zhang Xin, Liang Xing's henchman, was very thoughtful about himself! He didn't have so many superstitions, he sat on the king chair without any worries, and said quietly: "Lord Zhang said that this king chair is unlucky, I also think, someone can pull me down from this chair!"
Hearing this, the ministers below knelt on the ground with each other, except for Liang Xing, and said in unison: "The king is wise and powerful, and he will last forever!"
"Hehe!" Looking at the people kneeling down below, Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said to Zhang Xin: "But I also have to thank Master Zhang for the reminder, this is also the first advice I got after becoming the Wind King." ”
"The king killed Weichen!" Zhang Xin was surprised and delighted, and fell to the ground without standing up straight for a long time.
Tang Yin glanced at him again with a smile, and at this time, the corner of his eye happened to catch a glimpse of Qiu Zhen and the others outside the palace gate looking into the hall from time to time, Tang Yin understood that the brothers under his command were a little impatient. He straightened his waist, waved his hand to the ministers, and said, "Rise up, all the lords, now this king is also a little tired, you can go back for the time being." ”
"Oh......" The ministers did not get up, but asked each other, "...... the coronation ceremony of the king?"
"There's no rush for this, and it's not in the way to wait for two days. Tang Yin said lightly.
"Yes, my lord. After hearing this, the ministers got up one after another, said goodbye to Tang Yin, and then withdrew from the hall one after another. The ministers withdrew from the hall on their front feet, and Qiu Zhen and the others couldn't wait to get closer.
Now, the backbone of the Tianyuan Army can be said to be all present, including Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan and others, Shangguan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan, Wu Guang, Zhan Hu and others, and Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Peng Haochu, Ziying, Gu Yue and others in command.
"The ministers are knocking to see the king!" everyone changed their words quickly, and after recently, they all knelt down and bowed to Tang Yin.
"Everyone should be even!" Tang Yin looked around at everyone with a smile, but soon saw a person in the crowd who should not have stayed here any longer, Zhang Xin.
When the ministers withdrew from the hall just now, only Zhang Xin stood still and did not move. At this time, Qiu Zhen and the others also noticed Zhang Xin's existence, and they all frowned secretly, muttering in their hearts why Zhang Xin was so short-sighted, and what did he do with his cheekiness at this time.
Tang Yin stared at Zhang Xin and asked casually, "Is there anything else with Master Zhang?"
Zhang Xin, who had just stood up, fell to his knees again with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen...... Weichen has something important to report to the king!"
Tang Yin raised his head patiently and said, "If Master Zhang has anything to say, just say it!"
"Wechen...... reported Liang Xing and other ministers to blame and harm the court's loyalty, and caused a series of bloody cases. Zhang Xin was bold and hard-headed, gritting his teeth and said. He's gambling now. Zhang Xin's mind is not simple, he knows that Liang Xing's detention of Wu Yu and the indulgence of the Sanshui Army to kill nearly 20 ministers are not finished, once this matter is investigated, no one in the Manchu Dynasty can escape, and they will all be implicated, including himself, and Tang Yin will definitely investigate this matter, and will also take this opportunity to make a big fuss, take the opportunity to get rid of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and replace them with his own henchmen.
If he wants to get out of the matter and not be implicated, he can only show favor to Tang Yin, and do his best to help Tang Yin achieve the wish he wants to achieve, and only in this way may he still have a chance of life, and it is even possible to keep his official position.
Hearing this, the reactions of everyone present were different, and Liang Qi's heart immediately pinched and raised his throat. Tang Yin is interested, Zhang Xin is Liang Xing's confidant, what Liang Xing is doing, Zhang Xin naturally can't understand it anymore, if he is willing to stand on his side and provide evidence or confession, then it will be easy to bring down Liang Xing, the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Xin like electricity, wondering what his true intentions were. After a pause, he said faintly: "As far as I know, Lord Zhang and Liang have a good relationship......
He deliberately didn't finish his words and let Zhang Xin pick it up himself. Zhang Xin's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "In front of the king, Weichen doesn't dare to find personal affairs, let alone hide anything, if there is anything unfavorable to the king and the court, Weichen must make it clear to the king!"
Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart, nodded, and said, "Master Zhang is loyal to me! If what you say is true, and you can present corresponding evidence, I will reward you heavily." After a pause, he turned his head sideways and said, "Cheng Jin." ”
"Subordinate...... Minister!"
Hearing Tang Yin's call, Cheng Jin immediately walked out of the Tianyuan Army. Tang Yin said with a smile to Zhang Xin: "If Lord Zhang has any situation to report, even if he explains it to General Cheng, General Cheng will naturally find out the matter." ”
Cheng Jin's official position is not high, only equivalent to the level of the corps commander, but Zhang Xin knows that Cheng Jin's identity is not simple, he is the person in charge of the dark arrow, and the dark arrow is the most important espionage organization around Tang Yin.
He swallowed and foamed at the mouth and said, "Weichen will definitely try his best to assist General Cheng Jin!"
Tang Yin nodded and said: "You guys will investigate this matter now, this matter is related to the lives of more than a dozen ministers, we must check the matter clearly, there must not be a 'fish that slips through the net', do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Xin is so smart, how can he not hear Tang Yin's words, he wants to pull all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty into the water by himself. Zhang Xin's eyes rolled and said: "Back to the king, Weichen will definitely try his best to do it, but Weichen is also at fault in this matter, the king ......"
Tang Yin was happy, and said leisurely: "Since Lord Zhang is willing to make up for his mistakes, this king can not blame the past for his previous mistakes." ”
"Thank you, the king! Weichen, thank you the king!" Zhang Xin wanted to hear this, and as soon as Tang Yin's voice fell, Zhang Xin began to kowtow again and again.
Qiu Zhen and the others watched from the sidelines, and laughed secretly in their hearts, this is the dignified history of governing Su, from a first-class official, now in front of adults, he is like a pug wagging his tail and begging for mercy, this is the power of an edict from the Son of Heaven.
