Although Zhao Jin was rescued by Shi Heng as a down-and-out scholar, he was not a nerd who didn't listen to anything outside the window. On the contrary, as a Yan Zhao boy in the northern land, he faces the threat of being a Tatar prisoner all the year round, and he thinks more practically.

Shi Heng currently wants to tilt the power into the government and the opposition, and the fate lies in Cao Jixiang, even if he bows his head for a while to maintain the alliance between the two sides, as long as he can defeat Shen Yichen, what he has lost can be regained!

"Do you want your grandfather to bow down to a eunuch?"

Hearing Zhao Jin's suggestion, Shi Heng, who had been holding back his temper, suddenly came up.

He is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, a dignified seven-foot man, bowing his head to a eunuch who doesn't even have eggs, how will the world look at it in the future?

"Let your mother's fart, Lao Tzu would rather raise troops to die in battle than watch his grandfather grovel to a eunuch!"

As his name suggests, Shi Chongren, a relative of the clan, directly and impulsively squirted towards Zhao Jin, you must know that in the eyes of these Shi juniors, Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, is a husband who stands up to the sky, and is their idol and spiritual goal.

If Shi Heng bows his head to the eunuchs, I am afraid that many people's beliefs will collapse.

In the previous internal discussion, Zhao Jin chose to back down in the face of the righteous indignation of the Shi clan, but this time he knew that Shi Heng had actually come to the edge of the cliff, and if he took a wrong step, he would fall into a place of no return.

Zhao Jin looked at Shi Heng solemnly and said: "Grandpa, those who know the times are handsome, and if they don't bow their heads to Cao Jixiang, they will be ruined and defined as a chaotic minister by the imperial court." ”

"Loyal to the ear, please think twice!"

After that, Zhao Jin slowly knelt down towards Shi Heng, this life was saved by the grandfather from the Tartars, and it was a big deal to return it to him today.

Zhao Jin's resoluteness made Shi Heng, who was originally a little superior, calm down instantly. can kill from the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield, and keenly seize the opportunity of political change to become the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Shi Heng is actually not a simple reckless man.

It's nothing more than that these years of power have made him gradually lose his heart and reason, so he will do a lot of arrogant and stupid things.

Indeed, as Zhao Jin said, if he turned against Cao Jixiang and did not have the support of the intelligence and soldiers in the palace, then he would be equivalent to a tiger falling to Pingyang, and the Jingying and Xuanda border army would not be enough to confront Shen Yichen's forces.

Many times when people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads when they should bow their heads, otherwise they will not even be given the opportunity to kneel in the future.

"Mr. Zhao is talented, my father has thanked me here!"

After thinking about this, Shi Heng stood up and clenched his fists and bowed deeply towards Zhao Jin.

This step was placed in the eyes of the generals of the Shi clan in the hall, and they felt a little incomprehensible, and the more reckless Shi Biao, Shi Chong and others instinctively wanted to refute it.

As a result, Shi Yongxing, the clan brother who was relatively calm, stretched out his hand to stop the chests of the two of them, and then shook his head silently.

Shi Yongxing is considered a wise general in the Shi clan, and he has a certain authority due to his high seniority. He stretched out his hand to stop it, no matter how dissatisfied Shi Biao and Shi Chong were, they could only hold it in their hearts at the moment and endure it.

It's just that the two of them still can't understand why their Shi clan is obviously strong and strong, and they still control the Jingying and Xuanda border armies, which are the most powerful side in the DPRK and China, but they are timid, and now they have to bow to the eunuchs and let Li be their grandson?

The two of them couldn't figure it out, but Shi Heng figured it out, this is the "potential" in Shen Yichen's mouth.

Even if the soldiers are strong and strong, the general trend is not on their side, and the army will definitely be defeated.

At this time, Shen Yichen stood on the top of the attic of Wenyuan Pavilion, holding on to the railing and looking at the silver of the Forbidden City, and said softly to the merchant beside him: "There are still a few days before the New Year, Jingtai has finally passed and ushered in the first year of Mingliang." ”

Saying this, Shen Yichen couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of getting along with Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu in his mind, Emperor Daxing's Zigong is still in the Renzhi Palace, and the Shouling Tomb built in a hurry has not yet been completely completed, and the last symbol of his era is only a few days left.

"Yes, who would have thought that in just a few years, it would go through three dynasties."

Shang Zhen also sighed in tone at the moment, he was an official in the same year as Shen Yichen, and he was still an orthodox dynasty when he first entered the official career, and he would soon step into the Ming Liang Dynasty.

"By the way, to the north, Empress Wang, the widow of the first emperor, has led the two daughters to move to the Yiwang Mansion, but when she left, she took away some of the queen's exclusive ritual vessels and phoenix crowns.

"After three years, I can't bear to accept a few ritual utensils, let her be."

Shen Yichen replied calmly, but he didn't expect that the jade Linglong that should have been pursued by Ming Yingzong in history became a ritual vessel pursued by the Ministry of Rites, and I have to say that I am a little embarrassed.

Queen Wang did a lot of stupid things, and she didn't even do the most basic principle of marrying and obeying her husband. But after all, it is still due to her character, she has no hatred for Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu herself, and she took away the queen's ritual and the phoenix crown and the veil, probably to miss the original period of husband and wife.

"That's right, after all, Queen Wang also had a mother's honor in the world."

Shang Shi nodded silently, the reason why he told Shen Yichen about this matter was that he knew that the first emperor entrusted Empress Wang and her two daughters to take care of her before his death, so as to prevent the people in the Ministry of Rites from sticking to the old rules and messing around.

"To the north, a few days later, at the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting, the Empress Dowager Hang will lead the new monarch to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, have you ever thought of taking the opportunity to meet and eliminate the estrangement between the two sides?"

Speaking of the upright Empress Wang and the weak and gentle Empress Qian, the only thing Shen Yichen has not been in contact with as an official over the years is the Empress Dowager Hang, who made Emperor Jingtai quickly seal her mother with her son.

After all, no one could have imagined that history would go like this, and an unknown concubine had the last laugh.

Compared with dealing with the emperor, this kind of harem woman who lives in a simple way is limited by etiquette, and it is difficult for Shen Yichen to see each other. Unless the other party has the idea of weighing the system in the court, and takes the initiative to meet with officials from other courts, it is logical to enter the palace for an audience.

However, Empress Dowager Hang doesn't know if she is incapable or really has no ideas, and the new monarch has always adhered to the prohibition of not interfering in politics in the harem for half a year, resulting in Shen Yichen having no chance to have face-to-face contact with her at all.

Even Shen Yichen offered to meet the Queen Mother, but was rejected by the Hang family on the grounds of incompatibility of etiquette and law, and the two sides had no intersection except for the simple conversations before the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyuling.

In fact, Shen Yichen knew very well in his heart that Empress Dowager Hang was deliberately avoiding herself, and it affected the emperor to avoid herself. The fundamental reason is that Nangong was ordered to kill Emperor Zhu Qizhen, and had a face-to-face relationship with Queen Qian and Queen Wang, which led to the impression of "chaotic ministers and thieves" in the harem deep into the bone marrow.

Thinking of this, Shen Yichen smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't I eliminate the estrangement from meeting the Empress Dowager Hang, but I don't have this opportunity." ”

"The Queen Mother is afraid of you."

There are no outsiders, and Shang Shi bluntly said the core of the problem.

"Well, coupled with the fact that there is Cao Jixiang among the internal officials, I am afraid that in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Hang, I am no different from a rebellious minister and a thief."

Shen Yichen showed a wry smile on his face, originally thinking that the ancient etiquette was only a shackle for women, but he also suffered from it. However, Shen Yichen also understood more and more why the eunuchs of the feudal dynasty had such a poor reputation, but they could always gain the trust of the emperor.

The reason is that the building near the water gets the moon first, and if you are trapped in this Forbidden City for the rest of your life, you will naturally believe in relying on the people around you.

"Xiangbei, you have mentioned Cao Jixiang a lot in recent times, does he really have such ambition and ability?"

To be honest, Shang Yu didn't have a deep impression of Cao Jixiang before, after all, there are still internal official supervisors and celebrant seals in front of the palm prints of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and it is not Cao Jixiang's turn to become a power gelding wheel.

But in the past few years, the situation has changed, with Jin Ying and Cheng Jing returning to their hometowns, Xing'an has fallen, Wang Cheng is incompetent, so that Cao Jixiang suddenly became the eunuch of the master of ceremonies. But even so, Shang Yu still felt that Shen Yichen valued him too much, could a eunuch really be above the emperor?

"I don't know if I have the ability or not, but I definitely have the ambition."

Shen Yichen replied affirmatively, Cao Jixiang did not hesitate to turn his face with Shi Heng, and insisted on reaching into the military power of the Beijing camp, which was indeed ambitious.

"Then according to this trend, with Cao Jixiang as an obstacle, your relationship with the Empress Dowager Hang will never be repaired."

"In fact, the queen mother did not have a system in the court, and the relationship was almost almost, but the problem is that the emperor has been exposed to it all day long, and now the influence is not obvious, how should he deal with himself in the future?"

Speaking of this, Shang Chen's face was full of worries, the young emperor was the easiest to be shaped and influenced by others, and Shen Yichen's disadvantage as a foreign court official was too great.

Listening to Shang Chen's words, Shen Yichen laughed: "Your Majesty is only three years old after the New Year, and now I am thinking about what will happen after the pro-government. ”

"What is there to worry about in the sky, I am worried about you."

Shang replied angrily, but Shen Yichen didn't care, but Shen Yichen didn't care.

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and more than ten years are very long, just live in the present."

Shen Yichen smiled faintly, he has only been in the office for seven or eight years now, and how many earth-shaking changes have occurred. What will happen to the government and the opposition after the emperor takes power, no one can imagine now.

"That's it, your level of strategizing is the only one in the world, rather than worrying about you, it is better to worry about the only son of Yu Shaobao, he has been transferred to the border by Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, and it seems that he is more than lucky."

Using Yu Qian's integrity to impeach Shi Heng was something that Shen Yichen had discussed with Shang Chen, and the reason why Shen Yichen hesitated at that time was that he knew that Shi Heng's personality would never give up, and he would inevitably retaliate back from other aspects.

Facts have proved that Yu Qian's only son, Yu Mian, has become the target of revenge.

"To the north, is there a way to stop it?"

Facing Shang Chen's inquiry, Shen Yichen silently shook his head and said, "Yu Shaobao is the secretary of the military department, if there is a way to stop it, do you still need to consider it here?" ”

"Yu Shaobao impeached Shi Heng by disobeying the order of resistance, he will inevitably lead by example, and will not bend the law for personal gain to stop the internal order of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

"But this is Yu Shaobao's only son, and if there is one three long and two short, he will be the heir."

There was a trace of forbearance and guilt in Shang Chen's eyes, it was he who prompted Shen Yichen to make up his mind to "be good not an official", but the consequences and revenge were borne by Qian.

And the consequence of the heir is really too cruel for Qian!

In fact, it was not only the business that could not bear it, Shen Yichen also had a lingering guilt in his heart, he thought for a while and then said: "Dingxiang Bo Guo Deng has been stationed in Datong for many years, and although he was transferred to Mo Nan Mongolia to guard Datong Mansion and was controlled by Shi Heng, he must still have a lot of influence. ”

"Datong has outstanding ability to not collect at night, he once sneaked into the main camp of the Tartars and almost brought it back to the Emperor Taishang, so he can entrust Uncle Dingxiang to secretly arrange a team to protect Yu Mian Zhou at night, at least save his life."

What Shen Yichen can do at present is to find ways to save Yu Mian's life, so that Yu Qian will not suffer the pain of losing his son. But the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, not to mention that this is still deliberately done by Shi Heng, and no one can guarantee 100% safety.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven."

Shang Shi also replied silently, and then said no more.

On the other side, in the Yamen, Cao Jixiang was sitting leisurely on the Taishi chair, looking at Shi Heng in front of him with a smile and said, "Our family originally wanted to visit the mansion, but I didn't expect the Zhongguo Duke to be a guest in the door. ”

Compared with the last time Cao Jixiang saw Shi Heng in person, at least he stood up and hypocritically said something unwelcome, this time he didn't bother to move, and the shelf could be said to be to the extreme.

Seeing Cao Jixiang's action, Shi Heng subconsciously clenched his fists, since the Jingshi Guard Battle killed the Quartet, all parties have been flattering in front of themselves, how could he have suffered such a vicious anger of being despised and humiliated.

is particularly despised for himself, or a eunuch without eggs!

Thinking of this, Shi Heng subconsciously clenched his fists, and an urge to completely tear his face with the other party was born in his mind.

But in the end, reason prevailed over anger, and Shi Heng replied with a straight face: "Gonggong Cao is polite, my father-in-law is here to discuss important matters." ”

Don't call Cao Jixiang "Inner Minister", just call him Cao Gonggong, which may be the last pride that Shi Heng can maintain now.

Seeing Shi Heng's gloomy face dripping water, Cao Jixiang had an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart, the loyal prince who was feared by everyone inside and outside the government and the opposition, was now bent in front of him, this is the scene brought by power!

Of course, Cao Jixiang will not humiliate Shi Heng too much, he still understands the principle of accepting it when he sees it, and when he gets off the horse, he immediately stood up, greeted him with a smile and said: "It's really a coincidence that there is no book, and our family happens to discuss it with the grandfather,"

Looking at Cao Jixiang's hypocritical smile, Shi Heng only felt a burst of disgust in his heart, and said angrily: "What Gonggong Cao wants to discuss, it shouldn't be that his nephew will be transferred to the post of the governor of the rear army in the five military camps." ”

Military power is equivalent to Shi Heng's confinement, but now he has to compromise with Cao Jixiang, and after he gets rid of Shen Yichen, he will definitely kill such eunuchs!

"Of course not, Zhongguo Gong, where do you think of it."

Cao Jixiang hurriedly waved his hand, and then replied with a mysterious face: "The thing that our family wants to discuss with my grandfather is how to deal with Shen Yichen. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
