The Mongol Khan bowed down to his vassals?

Shen Yichen's words came out, undoubtedly having the effect of a thunderbolt from the sky, whether it was Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor, or Zhu Qizhen, who was loyal to Ming Yingzong, he couldn't control the shock in his heart at this moment.

The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia continued the war for 70 years, and the five generations of emperors continued to carry out the northern expedition, but they have never been able to relieve this serious trouble.

Even just two months ago, the Mongol army returned to the city of Beijing, and almost did not let Zhu Ming repeat the mistakes of Zhao and Song, abandoning the capital and crossing south.

As a result, how long did it take for the Mongol Khan to submit his credentials to the Ming Emperor?

If anyone says this sentence, I am afraid that the first reaction of civil and military officials is to punish the crime of bullying the king. But Shen Yichen had just returned from Liaodong and had a hearty bloody battle with the Tartars, reversing the strategic decline of the Ming Dynasty.

Would he be stupid enough to use such a thing to deceive the emperor and his ministers?

Answer: Obviously, Shen Yichen did reach an agreement with the Tatar Ministry in a short period of time during the short period of time when the governor of Liaodong was the governor, so that Mongolia, a century-old rival, lowered his head!

Compared with the impact of the ministers, the only one who is a little calmer is Wuqing Hou Shiheng.

After all, he had fought side by side with Shen Yichen in Liaodong, and knew about the mutual market and vassal agreement reached with Totobuhua. It's just that Shi Heng didn't expect that Shen Yichen would endure until now to say it, and use it to prevent the Emperor Taishang from returning to Beijing.

This determination and strategy is truly amazing!

"Shen Qing, is this serious?"

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu was frightened by this sudden news, and asked Shen Yichen in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, how dare the minister deceive the king?"

"The letter of state is here, and I also ask Your Majesty to determine the date of tribute from the Tatar Ministry as soon as possible, so as to justify the name!"

The letter of state is only the first step, and the follow-up has to let Tokhtobuhua send an envoy and a proton to formally pay tribute to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and add the title of vassal king of the Ming Dynasty to achieve the name of the monarch and minister in the legal system.

Cheng Jing didn't dare to slack off at this moment, and immediately stepped off the imperial platform to take the credentials in Shen Yichen's hand, and then handed it over to Zhu Qiyu.

Turning over this national letter, looking at the words on it that bowed down to the vassals, and the seal of the Mongolian Great Khan stamped at the end, Zhu Qiyu no longer had any doubts, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly under the impact of excited emotions.

"The ancestors and the ancestors are above, I have not failed the Jiangshan Sheji, Mongolia, a century-old rival, has become a minister!"

In an instant, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu burst into tears.

This is not only in their own hands, but has achieved the merit of making the Mongols pay tribute. And with this social merit, it is enough to announce to all officials and the people that he is not a transitional product in times of crisis, but a real king of time!

The grievances of being despised, abandoned, and opposed at the court meeting can be said to be swept away at this moment!

Did the Great Khan of Mongolia really claim to be a vassal......

Zhu Qiyu's words seemed to wake up the civil and military officials present from their dreams, and no one questioned the authenticity of the national letter.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, Tokh Buhua will surrender at this time!"

"God bless me Daming, otherwise Ji Tai Lai!"

"Surrender from all over the world, come from all directions, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

As an old minister shouted the words of congratulations, he fell to his knees inside and outside the Fengtian Palace in an instant, and the Mongolian Khan said that the ministers would definitely become a strong stroke in the history books, and the Ming Dynasty would wash the civil fort and suffer humiliation, and it was still the Central Empire that was high above!

"Shen Qing, the matter of tribute is arranged by you, and you must show the prestige of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu stood up from the dragon chair, swept away the previous sluggish mood, looked proud, and handed over the tribute to Shen Yichen.

"The minister has already discussed with Totobuhua when he was in Liaodong, and he must use the highest Mongolian etiquette Jiubai Dagong and let the crown prince enter the court as a hostage!"

"Nine white tribute" is the highest Mongolian ritual to show submission, simply put, it is to send nine white camels, nine white horses, nine white oxen, and a gold pot and a silver pot.

In addition to the etiquette standards, the crown prince's entry into the court is a win-win situation for Shen Yichen and Tokoff Buhua in a sense.

The Ming Dynasty won face, and the Tatar Ministry won Lizi.

The reason is that the crown prince of Mongolia is the nephew of the Taishi Yexian, Mengke, who exists in the Tatar Department for a day, which is the greatest threat to Tokhok Buhua. Pushing the boat to send him to Daming as a proton can not only relieve the urgent need, but also avoid being found an excuse to make trouble first.

"Okay, let's do it according to this standard!"

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu couldn't wait to agree, after all, the Jiubai Dagong plus the crown prince's entry into the court as a hostage is definitely the highest standard of etiquette for the submission of the feudal state, which greatly raised the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

With this meritorious achievement, even if the imperial brother Zhu Qizhen returns to Beijing safely, I am afraid that he will not be able to shake his throne!

Seeing the eyes of the emperor and his ministers, all of them were attracted to the matter of the Mongol Great Khan bowing down to the ministers, and the Empress Dowager Sun behind the bead curtain couldn't sit still.

She said proudly at this moment: "Even if the Tartars surrender, what does this matter have to do with the Emperor Taishang's return to Beijing, will the Taishi also surrender together first?" ”

As for the Empress Dowager Sun's will stand up against it, Shen Yichen had long expected it, and he unhurriedly defended: "The Empress Dowager, as the saying goes, surrenders to the army without a fight, and the Tatars surrender to my Ming Dynasty, which means that the scene of the Xiongnu of the Han and the Turks of the Tang will be reproduced. ”

"Without the legal system of the Golden Family, and without the Mongolian tribes to rely on, the Taishi of the Tile Spur Department will also be difficult to support alone. Under such circumstances, does he dare to have the slightest disrespect for the Emperor? ”

"As long as we take action against the three tribes of Uliangha and the countries of the Western Regions, then the Tile Spur Department will fall into an embattled situation. When the time comes, my Ming Dynasty will go straight to Mobei and drink Ma Hanhai, and the Emperor Taishang will no longer return as a prisoner of war, but return to Beijing as a king! ”

Shen Yichen drew a beautiful prospect and let Zhu Qizhen clear his identity as a prisoner of war. After all, he was no longer put back by the enemy in ashes, but the Ming army killed the past and saved the former king with his strength.

Of course, what Shen Yichen said is the most ideal situation, this kind of painting cake may be effective for others, but it is completely ineffective for Empress Dowager Sun.

She didn't care about Zhu Qizhen's status as a prisoner of war at all, and she didn't even care about his loss of teacher and humiliation of the country. As long as his son can come back safely and return to the throne, who would dare to mention the defeat of Tumubao?

History is not only written by the victors, but also by the emperor.

"Shen Yichen, the emperor is in Mobei, and staying for one more day will be more dangerous. He is now the emperor, will the shame and prestige of the Ming Dynasty still be borne on him? ”

When Empress Dowager Sun said this, she even changed her title to Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, and it was no longer the identity of the Empress Dowager to the emperor, but the identity of a mother to her son.

Now that the Ming Emperor is Zhu Qiyu, as long as Zhu Qizhen can return safely, does the identity of a prisoner of war or king matter?

"As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, **** Jing shoulders the honor and disgrace of the empire."

"The Emperor can suffer, but the Ming Dynasty can't be humiliated, please think twice!"

Having said that, whether it was out of selfishness or justice, Shen Yichen didn't want Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to be released back to Beijing as a prisoner of war.

As for the danger, it was never within the scope of Shen Yichen's consideration, maybe the death of the king was the best destination for Zhu Qizhen!

"Presumptuous, without a king, when the court staff is applied!"

"Come on, drag this rebellious minister and thief who has no king and no father!"

Compared with politicians, what politics is an art of compromise, Empress Dowager Sun, as a harem woman, doesn't care about anything when she is angry.

The Ming court staff was not just as simple as being beaten on the board, taking off the pants and being spanked in public was even seen as a kind of humiliation to the scholars, and many court officials would rather be punished than humiliated.

Shen Yichen has just been appointed to the cabinet to participate in the pre-aircraft service, and he has become a real cabinet veteran, plus the military department squire, the East Pavilion University Scholar and so on, it is not an exaggeration to call it a high authority.

Just such a scarlet-robed minister, in the orthodox dynasty where the court staff has not yet flooded, was dragged out and humiliated in public, there is no doubt that it is like a thunder on a sunny day, making the civil and military ministers present a little unable to believe their ears.

"The queen mother is angry, Shen Qing's family is dedicated to the country, and there is no malice."

Facing the angry queen mother, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu could only quickly help Shen Yichen intercede, if he really wanted to drag out the court staff, it would simply set off an uproar.

"No malice?"

"Shen Yichen equated the Emperor Taishang's return to Beijing with the humiliation of Daming, which is the greatest malice!"

Empress Dowager Sun shouted angrily, her residence in the harem does not mean that she has no common sense of the previous dynasty at all. According to Shen Yichen's set of statements, unless it is the destruction of the country and the extinction of the Tile Thorn Division, there is no return date for the Emperor Taishang to return to Beijing.

"Shen Yichen, the mourning family will ask you, whether to take the emperor back to Beijing, or not!"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the time has not yet come."

Shen Yichen did not choose to compromise, but gave a pun answer, that is, the time has not come.

"Disloyal and unrighteous people, where is Jin Wuwei!"

Empress Dowager Sun didn't want to continue arguing with Shen Yichen, so she ordered directly to Jin Wuwei in the palace.

However, an unexpected scene happened, Jin Wuwei in the palace faced the order of the Empress Dowager Sun, but he did not dare to step forward with a hesitant expression, and even looked at Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor on the imperial platform.

After all, as palace guards, they knew Shen Yichen's prestige and reputation in the army, and they had a lot of admiration and admiration in their hearts. In addition, people like Jin Wuwei belong to the army of the Son of Heaven, and theoretically only obey the emperor's orders, but now the emperor is silent, and he drags the minister down to the court staff, which is really a bit arrogant.

"Emperor, don't you count the words of the mourning family now?"

Empress Dowager Sun slapped her the armrest of the phoenix chair, and her tone was full of threat.

King Yu has only been on the throne for a few months, and he disobeyed the edict of his mother-in-law for a courtier, so he will get it in the future?

"Erchen doesn't dare!"

"Then don't order Shen Yichen to be dragged out!"

Hearing the repeated urging of the Empress Dowager Sun, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu lowered his head and remained silent.

He was a relatively weak emperor in the history books, and even in the more than seven years he was on the throne as emperor, many ministers offended Zhu Qiyu in Shangshu.

But Zhu Qiyu is definitely not a weak person, he has his own beliefs, his own persistence, and his own view of right and wrong.

Shen Yichen is right, the imperial brother lost his teacher and humiliated the country and the Ming Dynasty was humiliated, it is best to come back by washing away the shame!

"What about your group of courtiers, who are deeply favored by the Emperor Long, but now you are allowing the chaotic ministers and thieves to jump off the beam?"

Empress Dowager Sun was furious, and directly lifted the bead curtain in front of her, and directly pointed at the civil and military ministers in the hall.

Especially Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao and others, they were treated as favorably by the emperor as much as Shen Yichen, and the emperor dragged them back from the secret decree brought back by Yang Shan, the imperial capital of the right capital, and also regarded them as confidants and entrusted them with important tasks.

As a result, there is no word now, which is really chilling!

"The Queen Mother is angry, Shen Shilang is the third yuan and the first, I am the leader of the Ming literati, and I must not be humiliated by the court staff!"

What people didn't expect was that Chen Xun, the head assistant of the cabinet, who had never had a sense of existence and lacked prestige and qualifications, stood up to fight for Shen Yichen at this moment.

As one of the civil leaders, even if Shen Yichen has political disagreements with him, even if he is the son of Xun Qi, he is suspected of being reckless. As long as the emperor did not deprive Shen Yichen of his meritorious title as he did in the Yongle period with Huang Guan, then he will always be a well-deserved leader of the three and six yuan, how can he be humiliated in front of everyone?

"The Queen Mother, the puppet can't take away his ambition, the literati can't take away his festival, please take back your fate!"

The newly promoted cabinet ministers discussed and stood up to protest with the same righteousness.

All the disputes and troubles of the court meeting, Shang Zhen saw it in his eyes, but he was like a bystander, and he did not say a word.

This is not that he is protecting himself in Mingzhe, but Shen Yichen once emphasized that he should not expose his friendship with him too obviously, let alone be labeled as a henchman.

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty relied on the nine-character mantra of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king", how could Shen Yichen not understand?

Before Shang Chen, Xiao Yi and the others reached the point of high power, Shen Yichen and Ning Yuan stood by and endured it, and they didn't want to be targeted by political enemies too early.

But now Shang Yan can't bear it anymore, the court staff is to rob the literati of their integrity, how can Shen Yichen be humiliated like this?

"Queen Mother, I hope to take back my life."

Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up to express his opposition, if Shen Yichen created a precedent for the harem Yizhi "Punishment Doctor", then the outline of etiquette and law will often collapse, and the country will not be a country.

"Queen Mother, please take back your fate!"

In an instant, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Manchao bowed down again, and the political discord during the orthodox dynasty had not yet reached the point of life-and-death party struggle in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Even if Yang Hongze, He Pingyan, and the officials and ministers who were not used to Shen Yichen were all asking for his life to fight, they must not humiliate the scholars.

"Good, good, you guys are really a good bunch of courtiers!"

Faced with this scene of opposition from the emperor and his ministers, Empress Dowager Sun said a few good words in a row, and then her face showed a strange flush, and the whole person leaned back and collapsed heavily on the phoenix chair.

"Queen Mother!"

This scene made the emperor and the civil and military officials let out an exclamation at the same time, they never expected that the Empress Dowager Sun would faint in anger!
