581 Victory and Defeat (2-in-1)

Shen Yichen's words made Cao Jixiang's face instantly ugly, and at the same time caused an uproar among the civil and military officials present.

"The inside and outside are-for-tat, and this apprenticeship is really eye-opening."

"Teng Xiang's four guards and horses and Shen Yichen's remote-controlled Shenji battalion set up an ambush at the same time, it stands to reason that the two of them should have secretly discussed it a long time ago, why is there such a big disagreement?"

"Looking at Shen Yuanfu's posture, do you want to protect the loyalty of the country's Gong Shi Heng?"

"When the interruption continues, but suffers from its chaos, Shi Heng is arrogant and domineering, and he has bitten too little to keep a bite. Today, Shen Yuanfu wants to let him go, and he may not remember this kindness when he comes to make a comeback. ”

"Don't say Shen Yichen so noblely, maybe his plea is just a rabbit dying and a fox is sad. Shi Heng is a rebellious minister, and this Yuan Fu is not, so he can leave a way back for himself. ”

"Be careful!"

All kinds of voices were constantly discussed, listening to the speculation and suspicion of the civil and military officials in front of the Fengtian Palace, Cao Jixiang's face became more and more gloomy and could drip water.

Replaced by the eunuchs of the previous ceremonial eunuchs, in the face of the tough attitude of the first assistant of the foreign cabinet, there is a high probability that he will make concessions and compromises. After all, the eunuchs are a little worse in terms of legal principles and status, and even the imperial power does not dare to be too partial when the matter is so big.

But is Cao Jixiang an extraordinary person?

He has never been willing to become a eunuch who is respected on the surface and despised by the outside world, and only by deterring the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Shen Yichen, can he truly reach the pinnacle of power, and even win the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

In this situation, Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, must be killed, and only by using the life of the Duke of the Ming Dynasty to let the ministers see their means and power, they will be easier to succumb in the future.

Cao Jixiang also wants to make an example of chickens and monkeys, but what he deters is not those who are disobedient to the royal family, but his potential enemies!

"Long live the young man, the queen mother's oracle is a holy oracle, and Yuanfu should also pay attention to his identity."

The cold words came out of Cao Jixiang's mouth, he no longer had the hypocrisy and politeness of the past, and his body exuded a boundless killing intent.

"Gonggong Cao, this cabinet department should remind you to pay attention to your identity!"

At this moment, Shen Yichen also tore off the mask of humility and flattery, and changed Cao Jixiang's title from internal minister to Cao Gonggong.

This is a clear warning to Cao Jixiang, don't forget that he is just a eunuch, and the outside world respectfully calls him the prime minister, and he really regards himself as the chief assistant in charge of the government?

To put it mildly, Shen Yichen is not worthy of the word "phase", just the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, you are also worthy!

This call of Father-in-law Cao made Cao Jixiang stunned on the spot, and then an incomparable sense of humiliation came to his heart. There is no doubt that this is Shen Yichen's heart, he has never respected himself from beginning to end, and he is still the same eunuch in front of the civil official!

Many times the Buddha fights for a pillar of incense, and people live to fight for a breath.

Cao Jixiang's extreme anger made him slowly lose his senses, and his eyes became extremely cold and stared at Shen Yichen.

"Since this is the case, then our family chooses to act according to orders, let's see how Shen Ge Lao disobeys his orders!"

You ignore my identity as an "internal minister", then I will naturally ignore your title of "Yuanfu", Cao Jixiang also changed the title to Shen Ge Lao, and then waved his hand towards his heir Cao Qinmeng, intending to forcibly execute the Shi clan in front of the Fengtian Palace.

After all, Cao Jixiang's Tengxiang Four Guards and Horses have arrived, and Shen Yichen only relies on the hidden Jinyi Guard to stop it, which is impossible to achieve, and only those who are strong can have the last laugh!

"Stop, Cao Jixiang."

Shen Yichen watched Cao Qin raise the steel knife in his hand and slash straight towards Dingyuan Bo Shi Biao on his side, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop the other party.

It's a pity that such a shout has no effect on Cao Qin, the steel knife still slashes downward, and Dingyuan Bo Shibiao also slowly closed his eyes. From the moment he failed to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch, he had already predicted the direction of his fate, which was nothing more than early death and late death.

However, at this critical moment, there was a crisp sound of "clang", and the steel knife in the hand of Zhaowu Bo Cao Qin was knocked to the ground, and the figure of Wu Rui on the war horse appeared in everyone's field of vision.

And this was only the beginning, and soon the deafening sound of thousands of horses galloping sounded, and the cavalry of the three thousand battalions rushed towards the rear of the square like a tide.

In addition, behind the cavalry of the three thousand battalions, there are also the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion led by Li Da, with the arrival of these two soldiers and horses, the strength of the Danqi in front of the Fengtian Palace has changed, and the soldiers and horses supporting Shen Yichen are not inferior to Tengxiang Siwei in terms of quantity!

"In accordance with Yuanfu's order, the three thousand battalions are all overseers and Wu Rui came to escort them."

"In accordance with Yuanfu's order, the governor of the Shenji Battalion came to escort Li Da."

"In accordance with Yuanfu's order, Jingwei commanded Wang Zheng to come to escort him!"

The shouts sounded from all directions, and the dense Ming soldiers surrounded the entire Fengtian Hall.

Among the civil and military ministers present, many of them had already shown a look of surprise on their faces, they had already guessed that Shen Yichen was prepared for Shi Heng to raise troops, but they never expected that so many soldiers and horses were hidden in the palace.

If only this group of people had not come to quell the rebellion, but ......

I can't imagine this kind of picture any longer!

The ministers of the court didn't dare to imagine it, but the Empress Dowager Hang looked frightened, she thought that the Tengxiang Four Guards and Horses commanded by Cao Jixiang were enough to protect the safety of the royal family in the palace. Looking at it now, the eunuch who is in charge of the seal is not the opponent of Shen Yichen, the first assistant of the cabinet.

For a moment, Empress Dowager Hang didn't know whether it was a trick to bind the two sides by letting the emperor worship Shen Yichen as a teacher, or a faint move to raise a tiger in one step. This son Danfan has a little disobedience, and the best result is the Ming version of Huo Guang, and the bad words are Wang Mang, Cao Cao and the like.

"It turns out that this is the real strength of Shen Ge Lao."

"This official also agreed with Cao Jixiang before, and Shi Heng could not be allowed to plot rebellion, and he had to be sentenced heavily in order to set an example. Now it seems that without Shi Heng, who will balance Shen Yichen in the future? ”

"Yes, Shen Yuanfu actually has the demeanor of a minister in his bones."

"Orphans and widows are in charge of the Ming Dynasty, and it is inevitable that such a scene will occur."

In the past year, the civil official group has been secretly suppressed by Shen Yichen, and even the old ministers of the Six Dynasties, such as Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, have chosen to retreat and are unwilling to oppose it.

Now Shen Yichen is facing Cao Jixiang and showing his tough side to the fullest, which has brought a great psychological impact to the ministers present. After all, a reckless martial artist like Shi Heng is used to being arrogant and unruly every day, and everyone has long been used to it.

Relatively speaking, Shen Yichen still maintains etiquette and decency in his daily dealings with others, and it is not too much to exaggerate the word "modesty". This siege of the Fengtian Hall formed a strong contrast, which made the court ministers feel worried. m.

It's just that Shen Yichen doesn't care much about the opinions of the hundred officials of the imperial court now, accompanied by several soldiers and horses who are "loyal" to him, Shen Yichen looked at Cao Jixiang who was extremely embarrassed and said: "Internal minister, there are no rules, after all, the Duke of Zhongguo is the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, it is better to judge according to the law!" ”

In the art of war, there is a saying that the siege of the master must be que, Shen Yichen now occupies the advantage on the scene, but he can soften his attitude, and don't force Cao Jixiang to the point where the dog jumps over the wall.

After all, he is still in a "joined-up" relationship with him, and in front of the civil and military officials and the royal family, it really ends a little badly if he really gets things to the point of meeting each other.

Politics has always been an art of compromise, and it is precisely because Shi Heng does not understand this that he has come to this point. On the contrary, after so many years of tempering in the center of the imperial court, Shen Yichen is extremely clear about the meaning of this, and many times he takes a step back and broadens the sky.

Hearing Shen Yichen's words, Cao Jixiang didn't respond immediately, but Cao Qin, the heir standing beside him, looked at the dense soldiers and horses around him, and his heart was already retreating.

So he leaned over Cao Jixiang's ear and whispered: "Father, Shen Yichen has long been ready to do it, and he is the first assistant of the cabinet after all, I'm afraid we will suffer if we go hard." ”

That's right, in addition to the disadvantage in the number of soldiers and horses, Cao Jixiang also has a huge lack of legal power.

Now the head of the cabinet is the head of the civil officials, Shen Yichen can deal with all kinds of military affairs justifiably, on the contrary, Cao Jixiang has the supreme power to approve the red even if he is the eunuch in charge of the celebrant and seal, but in name he is only ghostwriting for the Son of Heaven!

The door of the celebrant was closed, and no one went to confirm whether the imperial approval of the Zhu pen on the chapter was written by the emperor or Cao Jixiang. But in front of the civil and military officials, Cao Jixiang did not have the slightest legal reason to fight with the cabinet chief, he was just a servant of the royal family.

Listening to the words of his heir Cao Qin, a deep sense of humiliation made Cao Jixiang clench his fists, the reason why he wanted to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne was not only driven by the desire for power, but also because he wanted to make the civil and military officials and all the people in the world admire, and no longer mention the identity of the eunuch.

But the status quo gave him a resounding slap in the face, no matter how powerful he was behind his back, and how flattering the officials were to call him "the prime minister". At the critical moment when it was really necessary to break the situation, Shen Yichen was the minister who made a lot of promises, and there seemed to be a difference between himself and him.

Cao Jixiang wanted to take down all the ministers such as the emperor and Shen Yichen in one go, but reason told him that if he really wanted to do this, he would be the next "Shi Heng", or not as good as Shi Heng.

After all, the other party is the dignified and upright Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Yichen is still trying his best to protect it, who can save him if he has an accident?

Emotions such as humiliation, anger, unwillingness, and resentment were entangled in Cao Jixiang's mind and heart, and just as he was about to make a decision, a childish child's voice sounded: "Cao Banban, you still listen to Shen Yuanfu's words, and deal with Zhongguo Gong Shiheng according to the law of the Ming Dynasty." ”

The appearance of this voice made the square in front of the Fengtian Temple instantly fall silent, and everyone's faces were full of surprise. No one thought that even the Empress Dowager Hang was six gods and no master, and a young son of heaven who was not yet five years old took the initiative to make a decision.

"There is hope for the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty is really the true Son of the Dragon!"

An old attendant of the Hanlin Academy lectured on the bachelor, and shouted with tears in his eyes at this time, originally the officials and Qingliu group were prepared for the worst in their hearts, and with Shen Yichen as the emperor's teacher, the young son of heaven would gradually become a puppet emperor.

As a result, I never expected that the Son of Heaven was the Son of Heaven after all, and he alleviated the situation in the court at a critical moment and showed outstanding talents.

"My emperor Shengming, ZTE is hopeful."

"After the turmoil of the Three Dynasties, the Ming Dynasty finally ushered in the King of Shunyao!"

"The spirits of the previous emperors in the sky believe that they will also be very gratified."

All kinds of sighs and praises come and go, compared to Shen Yichen's concept of having future generations, he doesn't attach much importance to the inheritance of imperial power. But for the civil and military officials of this era, whether there can be a Ming monarch in the imperial lineage is related to the Jiangshan Sect Temple.

Regardless of whether Emperor Zhu Jianqing's words were intentional or unintentional, at least one thing can be determined that he will not be a stupid emperor.

If Cao Jixiang couldn't swallow this breath before, when Zhu Jianqing said this, his hard breath was instantly discharged. The reason is that he suddenly wanted to understand one thing, that is, his basic plate does not lie in the government and the opposition, but in the emperor himself.

Having a hard time with Shen Yichen in front of the ministers of the court is similar to Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, brazenly raising troops, which is going against the trend. On the contrary, as long as he can continue to control the emperor, then when Shen Yichen is a little disobedient to the imperial power, he will stand on the side of the contrarian trend.

The general trend of the world is like this, who can control the "potential", who can become the ultimate winner.

"Long live the lord, the slave obeys."

Cao Jixiang showed great obedience in front of Emperor Zhu Jianqing of Mingliang, which was one of his weapons to win the favor of the royal family in the deep palace.

After all, important civil and military ministers of foreign dynasties such as Shen Yichen and Shi Heng all have the idea of being arbitrary, and a eunuch who can conform to his own wishes and be respectful is obviously easier to get close to.

"Zhao Tishuai, please also escort the loyal prince and the rebel generals to the edict prison for interrogation in the future."

Shen Yichen took the opportunity to greet Zhao Hongjie beside him, in a sense, he, the head of the cabinet, is the same as the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, he has no law enforcement power, and can only be handed over to Jinyiwei to deal with.

"Yes, Motosuke."

Zhao Hongjie gave up his hand to receive the order, and then the commander Jinyiwei stepped forward and took over Dingyuan Bo Shi Biao and other Shi clan soldiers from Tengxiang Siwei. And he himself came to the front of Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, and arched his hand at him: "Grandpa, please also go to Jinyi Wei Prison with this official." ”

Zhao Hongjie did not call someone to escort him, and used the word "please", just to give Shi Heng dignity in front of civil and military officials.

After all, the Jingshi guard Zhan Shi Heng was not afraid of death and defeated the Wara tribe army head-on, and also chased and killed Baili to save tens of thousands of captive people in Beizhili.

Listening to Zhao Hongjie's words, Shi Heng did not respond, on the contrary, he set his eyes on Shen Yichen, and for a while he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

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