The humble kneeling training of the envoys also made Zhu Qizhen full of pride in his heart, and swept away the previous haze.

This is the majesty of the emperor of the Central Plains and the co-lord of the world, and the barbarians from all directions should kneel in front of me and be the slave of the Ming Dynasty!

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and ordered a banquet to entertain the envoys of the Four Yis, and at the same time, a group of musicians and musicians from the Teaching Workshop Division came out, ready to play music and dance to celebrate.

But at this time, Shen Yichen came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, since you have come to the school in person, it is better to replace the etiquette and music of the Teaching Workshop Division with the martial arts of my Ming soldiers according to local conditions!" ”

There is a famous saying in "Zizhi Tongjian", called Yidi, birds and beasts, afraid of power but not virtue!

Shen Yichen knew very well in his heart that the "surrender" bought by relying on the tributary system as an unjust seed was worthless, and if he wanted to make these envoys of the Four Yi really afraid of the Ming Dynasty, he had to use enough force to come out.

This is the real reason why he suggested that the venue for the banquet be placed in the school field on the outskirts of Beijing!

Today, let the dissenting envoys of the Siyi take a look, is it my Da Ming who can't move the knife, or are you floating?

Shen Yichen's voice fell, and Yang Shan, the Qing of Honglu Temple, stood up: "Tell Your Majesty that Shen Xiu's move is not in line with the tributary etiquette law, and the lower officials express their objections." ”

Yang Shan is a good person, and before Shen Yichen was "late" to accept the surrender ceremony for discussion, he gave him a step down.

But you must know that Honglu Temple relies on various activities and etiquette to eat, and Shen Yichen's behavior of changing the ritual process in vain is simply smashing the rice bowl of Honglu Temple.

After all, there is a first time, who knows if there is a second time, and there is no precedent.

"The old minister seconded what Yang Keqing said."

Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up and expressed his support for Yang Shan.

On the one hand, the Ministry of Rites also eats this bowl of rice, and it can't be smashed casually. On the other hand, Shen Yichen is too popular today, and he has vaguely become the protagonist of the tributary gift.

If Shen Yichen continues to act recklessly, his fame and prestige will be greatly enhanced. Even if this kid has not yet become a member of the eunuch party and stands on the opposite side of the civil official group, in fact, his relationship with Wang Zhen is far closer than that with the civilian official.

At the same time, Hu Hu had a vague premonition in his heart that even if Yang Pu showed favor to this kid, he would not be able to repair the estrangement between him and Shen Yichen and make him his own.

Since it can't be used by me, the conflict of interest between Shen Yichen and the civilian clique is far greater than Wang Zhen.

After all, it was impossible for Shen Yichen to swing a knife from the palace and snatch the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal. But he can climb all the way up to compete for the title of the sixth ministry and even the head of the cabinet, which blocks the promotion of He Pingyan and Yang Hongze and others.

Yang Shan and Hu Hui's opposition won the support of the vast majority of civil officials present. The collapse of the rituals and music of the Western Weekend is an eternal pain in the hearts of Confucian literati, how can Shen Yichen be allowed to hinder etiquette with soldiers?

Hu Hui, a veteran of the Five Dynasties, the status of the first emperor Tuogu's minister is still very high, even if Zhu Qizhen is more inclined to Shen Yichen's suggestion at this moment, it is impossible for him to refute the face of Hu Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Just when Zhu Qizhen was about to make a decision, an important minister wearing a scarlet unicorn suit stood up, he was Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo!

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Shen Xiu's suggestion. The school field is a place for drills and competitions, why not show my Ming soldiers are mighty. ”

The appearance of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, had a huge psychological impact on the civil and military officials.

You must know that even if Shen Yichen was attacked and impeached by various kinds of attacks and impeachments at the court meeting before, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, never came forward to alleviate one or two, let alone cover up favoritism.

Many times, the Xunqi group represented by Zhu Yong did not intervene like a spectator, and Shen Yichen was entangled with the "grievances" between the eunuchs and the civil officials. So much so that most officials have forgotten about his father-son blood with Shen Yichen.

Today, in the face of Hu Hui, a civil official, clearly expressing his attitude, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, stood up to support him.

Does this represent fatherhood, or does it represent the attitude of honorable relatives?

Soon, the next scene answered the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal to become the Duke of the Kingdom."

The British public Zhang Fu stepped out of the ranks and expressed his opinion to Emperor Zhu Qizhen. His standing in line can be said to have made the civil officials present collectively dumbfounded, even if they were as calm as Hu Hu, they all showed a look of surprise.

The Ming Dynasty was passed to the Orthodox Dynasty, and the nominal status was respected by the Duke of Wei. Because his title is sealed with "Founding Auxiliary Transport", it is naturally higher than the honor of the Ming Dynasty Chengzu Zhu Di who was sealed by "Fengtian Jingdifficult".

Even if the Duke of Wei was snubbed by standing in line with Emperor Jianwen during the Jingjing period, the title was still there, and the two-headed bet was successful, and there was no one in the nominal honor who could suppress the other.

In terms of power, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, temporarily ranked first, and in the ninth year of orthodoxy, he led the army out of the fortress to conquer the three guards of Wuliang Ha, so that Zhu Yong controlled the military power and was extremely popular. No matter which dynasty it is, whoever actually controls the gun in his hands will have great power.

But in terms of status, the British public Zhang Fu is in the first place in the honor.

There is no other reason, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, is the second generation of the lord, Xu Xianzong, the Duke of Wei, is the fourth generation of the lord, and Zhang Fu is the first British duke!

is equivalent to the current duke of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all the sons and nephews of the British Duke Zhang Fu. Under the premise of ruling the world with filial piety, the status of the elders is naturally higher than that of the juniors, even the emperor Zhu Qizhen has to give three points of thin noodles.

The appearance of the British Duke and the Cheng Guogong means that the Wuxun Group officially stands in line with Shen Yichen, and other forces in the DPRK and China will have to consider the consequences if they want to handle it at will in the future.

"The minister seconded the words of Chengguogong!"

Taining Hou Chen Ying also stood up and expressed his position, and he had to support Shen Yichen in both public and private.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister agrees with Shen Xiu's suggestion."

Relatives of Huichang Uncle Sun, Wen Xun Jingyuan Uncle Wang Ji, and even Yongkang Hou Xu An, who had a "gap" with Shen Yichen, collectively seconded Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.

If the Xunqi Group does not stand in line, it is enough, and a team can be described as vibrating in the government and the opposition!

Even Wang Zhen, who has always maintained the mentality of watching a play, has changed the expression on his face, and Shen Yichen's influence in the Xunqi Group is somewhat beyond his imagination.

This kind of situation is absolutely impossible to lead by Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Shen Yichen must have his own ability.

In fact, just as Wang Zhen thought, top honorable relatives such as the British Gong Zhang Fu are willing to support Shen Yichen with a clear banner, and the performance of the Megatron Tile Spur Envoy makes the relatives feel very satisfied!

However, this alone is not enough to say so. The fundamental reason that really triggered the support of the entire Xunqi group is Shen Yichen's attention to the soldiers of the army, which can be described as the foundation of the military generals!

Although the two dynasties of Ming Renxuan also went on expeditions, they were still mainly based on recuperation and recuperation on the whole, and it can be said that the sword and gun entered Kuma and put Nanshan, and it was not until Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong succeeded to the throne that he revived his martial arts.

The longevity of peace has led to the continuous decline of the status of warriors. Coupled with the succession of various second-generation and third-generation descendants, the overall quality of the Xunqi Group is also declining, and there is no peak in the Ming Chengzu period.

Nowadays, the martial artists urgently need great military exploits to regain power, and the battle of Luchuan, the southeast pacification, and even the main battle faction of the four expeditions to Mongolia are all platforms for the entire Xunqi group.

Therefore, even if he puts aside Shen Yichen's identity as a son of Xunqi, as long as he is willing to respect martial arts, then the Xunqi Group will also show favor and help. It's like cooperating with the eunuch Wang Zhen and the civil official Wang Ji.

After all, if they did not do this, the Xunqi group, which did not have the imperial examination system to provide a new force, would inevitably be defeated by the civilian group in a protracted war, and the Tumubao change only accelerated this process.

"Then according to what Cheng Guogong said, let my Ming soldiers show their might!"

Zhu Qizhen agreed with Cheng Guogong's advance, in a sense, when the entire Xunqi group expressed its position, even the emperor did not have much choice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The second voice was Shen Yichen's thanksgiving, he glanced at Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong meaningfully at the moment, but he didn't expect the other party to support him at this time.

After thanking him, Shen Yichen turned to face the soldiers in the distance, and shouted, "The Ming soldiers listen to the order!" ”

"Whoa!"

The thunderous shouts came, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the Southern Army, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't hold back the blood boiling in their hearts!

"You are my great tiger, and you all have the courage of ten thousand people. Today, when I show the majesty of my great soldiers, so that all the barbarians from all over the world surrender, can I do it! ”

In the face of Shen Yichen's inquiry, thousands of soldiers kept smashing the ground with flags and weapons, making a dull sound like a drum.

In the end, it converged into the battle cry of the Ming army: "Daming! Da Ming! Da Ming! ”

When a wave of sound came, the envoys of the four Yi who were waiting for the banquet could be described as pale and frightened.

Most of them have only vaguely heard of the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty and the majesty of the Ming Tiger Ben in historical books or the oral language of transit merchants.

Now I can witness with my own eyes, what is called Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing mountains and rivers!

Li Da and other classmates of Ying Tianjia School, looking at Shen Yichen who was commanding from above in the distance, there was a sense of unreality in his heart.

It seems that at this moment, he is not a civil official, but his own commander on the battlefield, who can lead the soldiers to be invincible and unstoppable!

Compared with Li Da, the important ministers of the government and the opposition standing on the high platform of the school field can feel the change in Shen Yichen's momentum more clearly.

Where is there still a shadow of Confucianism? Get rid of a military general!

After the school soldiers were ordered, they began to perform martial arts according to the established subjects. The five military battalions, which were mainly foot soldiers, practiced crossbow and crossbow cavalry, and the rain of arrows with the sound of whistling through the sky pierced into the target, which can be described as shocking!

This kind of touch is like the picture of the Qin army firing a salvo of bows and crossbows and shouting "gale" in the later "Hero" movie, a real saturation attack.

The 3,000 battalions, mainly cavalry, showed all kinds of roundabout outflanking exercises, horse bow archery, and heavy cavalry assault. In terms of horse work alone, the iron cavalry during the orthodox period of the Ming Dynasty was not inferior to the Mongolian cavalry.

In addition to stepping on the horse, it is the reserved project of the Ming Emperors before Ming Yingzong!

The 3,000 battalions, which mainly used firearms, brought out weapons such as "tiger cannons," "fire dragon guns," "magic guns," and "swarm bees." The tactics of platoon guns used were eye-opening for the envoys of Siyi, smelling the smell of gunpowder, even Shen Yichen had the illusion of being suddenly separated from the world.

This can simply be called a "high-tech" combat method that spans the era, and as long as it continues to develop along the firearms route, the Mongolian iron cavalry will become a joke.

The soldiers of the Southern Army practiced infantry formation, assassination and other items on the field, and they did not have too many bells and whistles, but the killing momentum of seeing blood, even if it was hundreds of meters away, could make everyone on the high platform feel the "smell of blood".

The division of a hundred battles is nothing more than this!

At the end of the exercise, the effect was very significant, and the Siyi delegation of nearly 1,000 people was silent. A kind of horror erupted in everyone's hearts, if this Ming army came to attack their own country, how long could they hold out?

Even the envoy of the tile spur who was ready to give the Ming Dynasty a horse before, his face was extremely solemn at this moment, he never expected that the Ming army was so strong, and the tile spur did not have the advantage he imagined.

Seeing the change in the expressions of the envoys of the four yi, Zhu Qizhen could be described as a great joy of the Sacred Heart, and he directly ordered to the officials of the Household Department of Qing Officials: "After the tribute is over, the warriors will be rewarded!" ”

"Minister, obey the holy command!"

Ordinary people salute first and then soldiers, Shen Yichen directly salutes first and then salutes, and only officially began to give banquets after the martial arts exercise.

I just don't know if the envoys of Siyi can still eat the royal banquet with peace of mind after experiencing this military "intimidation......

Just when the civil and military officials and the envoys of the four Yi were seated, Zhu Qizhen stopped Shen Yichen, who was about to walk in the direction of the next seat, and said, "Shen Aiqing will sit at the head of the table." ”

The chief of the emperor's throne is the "high-end" table of the princes. And all the kings of the Ming clan were raised as pigs in their fiefdoms, so in fact, the first table below became a special table for Xun Qi.

Zhu Qizhen's instruction is equivalent to letting Shen Yichen sit at the same table with British Duke Zhang Fu, Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Yong and others, this honor is simply staggering!

"Minister, don't dare to exceed the rules."

The top xun table is too conspicuous, and Shen Yichen really doesn't dare to sit on it.

"This is the Emperor's Order!"

Wenchen wanted to welcome and refuse this, Zhu Qizhen was no stranger, and simply blocked any excuses from Shen Yichen.

"Minister, obey!"

There was no way, Shen Yichen could only sit at the chief xun table below in a crowd of incredible eyes.

And I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the one sitting next to Shen Yichen was Zhu Yong, and the father and son were on the same stage for the first time.

After taking a seat, the imperial banquet began, and after Shen Yichen's "show of force", the obedience of the envoys of the four Yi envoys, and all kinds of praise and dedication to Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong.

However, except for the envoys of Korea, Annam, and Ryukyu, who were deeply sinicized and could quote scriptures, the envoys of other states were a little blunt and had no literary brilliance at all.

But in the face of these flattery, Zhu Qizhen was very useful. Because this shows his martial arts as a great tomorrow, he is loved and surrendered by all nations, and it also satisfies the vanity of a teenager who expects to be recognized.

On the other hand, Shen Yichen was very unnatural, after all, the status of this table was noble, and he was not a person of the same grade at all. If you don't dare to come out of any atmosphere, it must be an exaggeration, and there are still people who don't dare to talk nonsense.

Especially Zhu Yong sat next to him, even if the father and son rarely ate at the same table even in the Chengguo Mansion, let alone sit next to each other, it was really embarrassing.

In the happy atmosphere of the guests and hosts, the Korean envoy spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to pay tribute to the Hanlin Academy Shen Xiu a cup, the champion of the Yuan Gong upholds the great courtesy and justice, and defends the dignity of my Korea, and the minister is grateful!" ”

North Korea is deeply educated by Confucianism and also has a literati heritage. The position of tributary was forcibly occupied by the envoys of the tile, which was a great insult to their own country for the Korean envoys.

Shen Yichen came forward to uphold justice, which was equivalent to safeguarding the national dignity of North Korea, and the ministers were naturally very grateful.

"Granted."

Zhu Qizhen smiled and nodded, Shen Yichen's move also gave Daming a face.

"Envoy of the vassal country, thank you to the prince of the champion!"

The North Korean envoy bowed deeply to Shen Yichen, and then drank the wine glass in his hand.

"Your envoy does not need to be polite, this is the duty of my Ming courtiers."

Shen Yichen did not take credit, but magnified it to the entire national level, implying that Ming officials would uphold fairness and justice.

This answer made the banquet ministers can't help but nod, Shen Yichen won this honor at a young age, he can still be proud of his achievements, and he is indeed determined!

At the same time, this answer also made Zhu Qizhen very satisfied, and he asked the Korean envoy with a little pride: "I heard that you called Shen Xiu the champion duke, is it possible that I am the leader of the Ming Dynasty and have become famous in foreign countries?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the names of the leaders of the three and the sixth and sixth yuan are well known among my Korean scholars, and this is a symbol of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!"

"The monarchs and ministers of our country all agree that the Kui Star is an auspicious omen, and it will definitely make the barbarians of the eight directions enlightened by the sages and sages, and make the four seas return to the Ming Dynasty!"

I have to say that the DPRK has really learned the culture of the Central Plains thoroughly, and if this remark does not know the identity of the DPRK envoy, it will not be contrary to the words of the Ming literati.

As soon as the words of the Korean envoy here fell, the envoy of Annan over there also got up and said: "Your Majesty, the name of Shen Xiu is also widely spread in my Annan, and the literati all take the champion as an example, hoping to understand the doctrine of the sage!" ”

"Your Majesty, the same is true of the Ryukyu, the mother country of the ministers, the only one in the world for the six yuans, flaunting the Ming Dynasty's emphasis on education and rejuvenation, and the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

For the Chinese emperors, the achievements of ancient culture and governance surpassed martial arts in a sense. Just like the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the expansion of territory did not leave a good reputation in the history books, and it was not respected by the world until modern times.

The words of the Siyi envoys not only praised Shen Yichen, but also recognized the Ming Dynasty's Wenzhi, and in the final analysis, it was Zhu Qizhen, the emperor's good rule.

Under this kind of offensive of singing merits and virtues, Zhu Qizhen was a little overwhelmed.

After being happy, he looked at Shen Yichen and said: "Shen Aiqing's reputation has spread far and wide, which is a blessing for me to be a great Ming scholar and a teacher. And the matter of presiding over the tribute is also in order, and I am very happy, and I should be rewarded! ”

When Zhu Qizhen's words "reward" came out, all the civil and military officials present pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what kind of reward Shen Yichen could get.

This son has only been in the office for half a year, and he has been promoted to a half-rank and entered the East Pavilion to study. Theoretically, there should be no more exaggerated rewards this time, at most some gold and silver treasures outside the body.

In fact, after Zhu Qizhen finished saying "be rewarded", he himself didn't know how to reward it. It is definitely not appropriate to be promoted again, it will cause criticism too soon, and there is a suspicion of pulling out seedlings.

Shen Yichen of the East Pavilion also entered, and there was also a royal golden flower belt. It seems too vulgar to reward gold and silver treasures, especially when the envoys of Fanbang have just praised the Ming Dynasty's civil rule, do you measure it with money?

Faced with the problem, Zhu Qizhen subconsciously looked at Wang Zhen beside him, expecting him to give an idea.

It's just that this time, Wang Zhen had a very indifferent expression on his face, and he didn't plan to help Shen Yichen anymore, so he replied: "Long live Lord, Shen Xiu is still young, and if he is too honorable, he will be arrogant, so just reward him with some gold and silver." ”

Hearing Wang Zhen's words, Zhu Qizhen also felt that there was some truth. But Shen Yichen has made a great contribution today, and he has also increased his face, and he only gave some gold and silver rewards, which seems to be a bit of a thin treatment.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Qizhen's gaze happened to fall on Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and instantly had an answer in his mind.

"Shen Aiqing is loyal to the monarch and the country, diligent in royal affairs, I will give the unicorn to serve you today, and I hope to live up to my expectations."

Kirin suit?

When I heard that the reward was given by the Son of Heaven, the audience was in an uproar!

You must know that the clothes in the early and middle Ming Dynasty were still very valuable, unlike the late Ming Dynasty, when the rules were corrupt, and officials began to wear clothes with clothing patterns at will.

The Ming Dynasty's service standards were a first-grade python, a second-grade bullfight, a third-grade flying fish, and a four- or five-grade unicorn. Among them, the flying fish suit is also used as the official service of the brocade guard, and the unicorn suit is also the official service of the father, the marquis, the uncle, and the horse.

That is to say, in addition to the honorable relatives, if you want to obtain the Qilin service, you must at least be a fifth-grade official to meet the minimum standard.

Shen Yichen is currently the Zhongyun of the Right Chunfang of the Zhengliupin Zhan Shifu, and he can't meet this minimum standard at all, so does this mean that he will be promoted soon?

After a few months of entering the office, he was promoted to the sixth grade, and now it has only been half a year, do you want to step into the ranks of the fifth grade officials?

"Shen Yichen's holy family is too exaggerated, Da Ming has never been promoted at such a speed."

"Isn't this not yet promoted? Today's performance, I think it is worthy of the Son of Heaven. ”

"It is reasonable, Shen Xiu's strength suppresses the heart of the tile spur, and it shows that I am really capable of governing the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty."

"He is worthy of being the son of Chengguo Gong, this kind of martial arts talent, others only have envy."

No matter what era it is, strength is the best proof. Compared with the previous Shen Yichen who was ridiculed by all parties at the court meeting, today he conquered some officials with practical actions, and the results are unquestionable here!

Of course, it is impossible to be satisfied in all aspects, especially Hanlin Qingliu and Kedao Yanguan, who still hate Shen Yichen to the core, and even disagree with his behavior of "advocating martial arts".

"I'm afraid that the saint has been blinded, this son is so arrogant, and he has destroyed the style of my Ming education!"

"That's right, if Banbang is also moving towards martial arts, then won't my Ming Frontier be full of wolf smoke?"

"With martial arts, his heart can be punished!"

Compared with the civil officials at the bottom, they were divided into two factions, and most of the high-level ministers at the table were dignified and worried.

Because of today's statement of the Xunqi Group, it is almost a clear-cut position of Shen Yichen. Originally, this son Wendao had achieved the pinnacle of achievement, and now he is showing signs of taking charge of military affairs with civilian officials, coupled with the support of the Xunqi group behind him.

Who will be able to stop in the future?

The rise of Shen Yichen alone is not terrible, what is terrible is that the Xunqi group behind him will take advantage of the trend. Emperor Renxuan spent decades resting with the people and ruling by inaction, so that the warriors retreated into the background, and the literati stood in front of the stage.

Do you want to do perverse things from now on?
