Chapter 17: The Tiger Talisman is in hand
"Your Majesty laughed."
"There are great talents in the Qin servants to make such a rare and rare famous article, and it also makes General Tian sigh to himself, where can the old minister dare to have objections."
Chu Heng originally thought that Yan Xu would be furious because of this, but who knew that he slapped his face quite simply, and then bowed to Chu Heng from afar.
Before the slapping sound dissipated, four people immediately poured into the hall holding a brocade box, and what was placed in the box were four complete tiger talismans!
"Your Majesty, this is the tiger talisman of the four camps in Kyoto, and today the old minister is willing to gamble and lose, and return the four tiger talismans to Your Majesty."
"I hope that Your Majesty will use troops cautiously after regaining military power, and put the country first in everything!"
Yan Xu handed over the tiger talisman so quickly, which made Chu Heng a little surprised.
Although he is the left minister of Dayan, his strength is still much stronger than his own, and the tiger talisman must be handed over, but Chu Heng has already prepared for the other party's plan to delay.
However, as Chu Heng thought about it, he immediately understood why the other party was so happy.
Now Yan Jiagui is the head of the world, which is categorically unspeakable.
Once there is a precedent, not only will the Yan Party in the court criticize Yan Xu's behavior, but even the officials installed in various states will be angry about this matter......
Those who hold authority will eventually be burdened by authority!
If you lose the reputation that the world's scholars rely on and lose the hearts of the people because of your rebellion, then you will really lose everything!
"Yan Xiang's words are trustworthy, which is really admirable."
After accepting the four tiger talismans sent by Yu Lin, Chu Heng immediately spoke loudly: "From now on, I will add Yan Xiang as my Great Yan National Teacher, who is more than the third duke, and will be rewarded with a thousand stones!" ”
Yan Xu did what he said, and Chu Heng would not go back on his word, and immediately handed over the benefits he had promised before.
Using the fictitious title of a national teacher to get back the military power in Kyoto, this deal is profitable no matter how you think about it.
As for this mere 1,000 stones, the extra money is even more a drop in the bucket!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Yan Xu seems to be smiling and sincere in his heart, but in fact, the roots of his teeth are itching.
This seems to have a long face in front of the ministers, but the loss is real!
What's more, what he lost was the most important military power inside and outside Kyoto, how could he be willing?
Annoyed, Yan Xu quietly threw a look at the Yushitai behind him.
Imperial Doctor Zhang Yao immediately understood, and took the initiative to walk out and let the crowd bow down and say: "Your Majesty, the minister has a special visit today!" ”
"I don't know who Zhang Yushi wants to participate in today?"
Chu Heng had already expected that Yan Xu would not suffer this loss for no reason, and he had already prepared in his heart that Yan Dang would find the field.
Zhang Yao's face did not change, and his expression changed: "The minister wants to participate in the murder of His Majesty in the harem yesterday, and the crime of ignoring human life!" ”
Yu Shitai originally did the work of finding faults, even if the emperor made a mistake, they still had to speak out.
After Yan Xu learned about the chaos in the harem last night, he originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had a little competition with the former army to bring out the harem, so as to add a good fire.
But now that the military strategy has fallen behind, and now taking the opportunity to participate in the last book can only make a slight counterattack......
"Oh? Why don't I remember the hand of the Imperial Tower, which can be stretched out to the harem? ”
Chu Heng looked at Zhang Yao with a smile, but secretly muttered to himself that Yan Xu really didn't seem to treat the people under him as human beings.
Yesterday, I just killed an imperial historian in front of the palace, and now even the imperial historian can send it out?
"Your Majesty, the minister is the imperial history of the dynasty, and it is the duty of the minister to discuss His Majesty's mistakes in acting with needles!"
Zhang Xu, who heard the threat in his words, did not back down, and said with an awe-inspiring face: "If Your Majesty hadn't slaughtered the palace maids in the harem yesterday, how could the minister admonish!" ”
"Hah! Zhang Yushi really cares about Dayan, and would rather let me carry this black cauldron than mention that I was assassinated last night! ”
Chu Heng's smile became more and more gloomy when he heard this: "Last night, Song Yutong, the female official of the Internal Supervision Bureau, wanted to assassinate, but fortunately, the big internal official took action to protect my thoughtful ......."
"Afterwards, I sent someone to investigate, and Song Yutong personally admitted that he was a remnant of the Southern Tang Dynasty and confessed to hundreds of fellow members of the harem, according to Zhang Yushi's meaning...... Should I watch these remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty continue to hibernate in the harem and continue to assassinate me? ”
In the end, Chu Heng had long since lost his usual indifference, and his face was full of gloom.
As for the hundreds of officials below, they looked at each other even more at this moment, their faces full of shock!
"How is it possible that the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty can lie dormant in the harem?"
"Your Majesty has not been in charge for many years since he ascended the throne, and the affairs of the palace are ......"
"Li Shilang, be cautious!"
"Could it be that there are really people with bad intentions in my Dayan court?"
The ministers heard the cause of the harem last night, and they all looked at Yan Xu.
Although the little emperor has already ascended the throne, he has never been in power, and Yan Xu is the master of the court, and the harem is managed by Concubine Yan.
No matter how you say it, now that there are remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty inside and outside the palace, they are inseparable from the Yan family!
Of course, there are diehards in the Yan Party, but most of them choose to stand behind Yan Xu for the sake of wealth and glory, after all, there is not much oil and water to be fished on the Royalist side!
But to give them a title of treason for no reason is a crime of losing their heads!
"Since the assassin carried out the assassination, His Majesty should send the person to the Dali Temple or the Criminal Department for review, and there is no evidence that the chamberlain and the palace maid who died last night are the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate!"
Zhang Xu did not back down because of the assassination last night, but continued to argue with reason: "The assassination is hateful, but if the assassin climbs and bites indiscriminately, it will force His Majesty to kill, if one of them dies to be loyal to the monarch and protect the country, wouldn't it make the people of the world feel cold!" ”
Zhang Yao's avoidance of the important seems to be to injustice the palace maid who died in vain, and he is also clearing the suspicion of the Yan family.
If the assassins will be regarded as the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty if they bite casually, then one day they will climb and bite the heads of the courtiers, will they really become thieves?
In an instant, the ministers above the court set off a commotion!
"Did Yan Xiang also think that I killed the wrong person last night?"
It seems that he is in decline at the moment, but Chu Heng only thinks that this old dog can't afford to lose, so he teases softly.
It's a pity that the questioning of the government and the opposition is of no use to the current Chu Heng!
"Your Majesty wants to kill the ministers, but no one can guarantee that there is no ......grievance among the people in the harem who died in His Majesty's will."
Yan Xu was not in a hurry to make Chu Heng admit his mistake, but deliberately took a step back and said:
"The minister thinks that His Majesty should hand over the assassin to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple for strict interrogation, find out the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible, and wash away Your Majesty's grievances!"
At this time, Chu Heng couldn't help but admit that the old fox was indeed an old fox, no matter what he said, it was all for your sake, and people couldn't help but want to obey Yan Xu's arrangement.
However, at this point, Chu Heng also obviously found that Yan Xu and Imperial Doctor Zhang Yao seemed to care too much about one thing.
"What Yan Xiang said is indeed reasonable, but you are in such a hurry to let me hand over the assassin, you are a little too anxious, right?"
