Chapter 246, the king
Tang Jiusheng looked at Yin Guang left and right, and Yin Guang said expressionlessly: "Tang Jiusheng, this hall is full of my henchmen, you don't have to worry about anything, just say it!" Tie Dun stood up very obediently, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, since you have something important to discuss with Xiao Tang Guoshi, Rong Chen will retire first!"
Yin Guang nodded and said, "Wei Dehai, you take Prince Tiedun to the Nourishing God Pavilion to drink tea and rest first, and I will come over later!" Tiedun bowed to the ground and retreated, and followed Wei Dehai to the Nourishing God Pavilion first.
Tang Jiusheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen's original intention was not to intercede for Yang Jingzhong, Yang Jingzhong, as a eunuch, was loved by the emperor, respected as his father, and was crowned as the Duke of the Kingdom and the Zhongshu Order, which is already powerful and extremely honorable. But now that there is a threat from Daxia outside, and there is a vassal king inside, and our Great Shang Kingdom is already in turmoil, the emperor has chosen to maintain his obscurity, isn't it precisely for the sake of one day being able to regain power and revive the majesty of our great merchants? Then why don't you continue to show weakness to the outside world and tolerate this eunuch for a while?"
Yin Guang's face calmed down a little, and he asked again: "Tang Jiusheng, in your opinion, how should I deal with the relationship with Yang Jingzhong?"
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Although Yang Jingzhong made His Majesty gnash his teeth, he is just a eunuch and has no heirs, and His Majesty can take away his power at any time! Now as long as he continues to let his power dominate the world, he can paralyze the vassal kings, and besides, I heard that His Majesty has recently taken over the power of Yin Zhongxin, the commander of the forbidden army, and replaced Gu Tianyi as the commander, so there is no need to worry." Weichen thought that it was the best policy to break the King of Pingxi and the King of Lingnan first, and then move Yang Jingzhong!"
Yin Guang asked, "What is the situation of this third prince Tieton, who suddenly returned to China? What are you bringing him to see me?"
Tang Jiusheng replied: "Your Majesty, a few months ago, there was a civil strife in the sudden return to China, and the old king Tieku was killed by his nephew Tiebu, Tiebu usurped the throne, and sent people to kill Tie Hui's two sons Tie Hui and Tie Ling, Tie Dun fled all the way to our big business, Wei Chen accidentally met Tie Dun in Jiannan Road, and rescued him, he begged Wei Chen to come to see His Majesty, and wanted to borrow troops from my big merchant to return to China for revenge and regain the throne. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
Yin Guang pondered for a long time and sighed, "Tang Jiusheng, you also know that our big merchants are now suffering from internal and external troubles, and I have no power! If we want to send troops to rush back, the southwest road is the only way, even if Yin Quan is willing to let us go, our soldiers and horses will fight in a foreign country, and if we are not suitable for water and soil, we will not be able to occupy the land, and the grain and grass may still be insufficient." If we only send 35,000 soldiers and horses, it will not help with a small number of people, and if we send 350,000 soldiers and horses, we can't afford it! It's okay to win the war, but if we lose the battle, we will join forces with Yin Quan in a rage, and our southwest will really be lost!"
Tang Jiusheng nodded and said: "Your Majesty is extremely worried, but after all, Tuhui is a vassal state of my Great Shang, and all the kings have been canonized by my Dashang Emperor and given seals, and now we ignore its internal strife, and after the traitor Tiebu completely controls Tuguo and eliminates all dissidents, in case he is afraid of His Majesty's investigation, and therefore joins forces with Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi, to help Yin Quan rebel, in order to seek Yin Quan to recognize the legitimacy of his throne, or Yin Quan sends someone to contact Tiebu first, then the southwest of our Great Shang Kingdom is also in danger!" We can't afford not to take precautions! After all, the iron cloth is not right!"
Yin Guang clasped his arms in front of his chest, pondered for a long time, silent, his face was cloudy, and his heart was obviously extremely entangled. Tang Jiusheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know if it is feasible, please ask Your Majesty to decide!" Yin Guang nodded, "You just have to speak, I will listen to it, even if it doesn't work, I won't blame you!"
Tang Jiusheng arched his hand, "Your Majesty, since you can't send troops to enter the Tu Guo, please ask for a secret decree, please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to canonize Tie Dun as the new king of Tu Guo, Wei Chen only brought a few people, put on makeup and sneaked into Tu Hui with Tie Dun, contact the Tu Hui people who are still loyal to Tie Bu, look for an opportunity to assassinate Tie Bu, if you can win, that is, declare the decree, with Tie Dun as the new king of Tu Guo." Tieton, who has regained the throne, must be grateful, and we will have one more foreign aid who can contain Yin Quan!"
Yin Guang stood up, thought for a long time, and nodded: "Okay, I will depend on you! But if it doesn't succeed, what if the secret decree falls into the hands of Tie Bu? He will definitely be resentful, and then he will inevitably join forces with Yin Quan, and it will be enough for me to have a headache at that time!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled and persuaded: "Your Majesty, how can you do great things without risk, how can you not pay the price? If it fails in the end, the minister will naturally find a way to destroy the secret decree, and if it can succeed, the situation will be very favorable to us! We might as well draw up a detailed plan and then make a move, after all, the temple is the one who counts the more wins!"
Yin Guang stood up, circled around the imperial case twice, and looked up at Yu Fu and Wen Xiu, "Yu Fu, Wen Xiu, what do you two think of this method?" Yu Fu and Wen Xiu glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Please ask Your Majesty to judge this matter, and the slaves don't dare to talk more!"
Yin Guang was amused by the two people, and pointed to the two people: "You two, alas!" Then he turned back to Tang Jiusheng and said: "Okay, then I have decided like this, before leaving, I will give you a secret decree, you take a few masters to follow Tie Dun to rush back to China, looking for an opportunity to assassinate Tiebu, if you don't have enough manpower, you can choose among the masters in the big one! But the trip to return to China is only allowed to win, not defeat!"
Tang Jiusheng bowed down and said: "The emperor is wise! Weichen still has an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!"
Yin Guang walked up to Tang Jiusheng, looked Tang Jiusheng up and down, and asked with a smile: "Tang Jiusheng, I just found out that you kid is also so dishonest?
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is a little difficult for Weichen to speak, now Weichen is active in the area of Jiannan Road, if Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi, rebels, Jiannan Road will bear the brunt, Jiannan Road will bear the brunt of it, Jiannan Road will slightly make the cattle all over the ground, and the attitude is ambiguous......
Yin Guang smiled and punched Tang Jiusheng, "Can you kid talk well and don't go around the corner?"
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "After all, Weichen is only the son of the National Teacher's Mansion, and the small Tianchang Mansion is a person, even if the first emperor bestows Weichen as a small national teacher, after all, he has no real power, others can listen to me, or they can not listen to me." Weichen wants His Majesty to seal an official position with real power, and you can take it back after the war in the future, how about it?"
Yin Quan laughed, "You kid, you actually came to me to run for an official! Okay, you say, what kind of official do you want? I try to satisfy you!"
Tang Jiusheng made a mistake: "Your Majesty, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, you look at what kind of official you are sealing, Weichen's requirements are not high, as long as you can have real power in Jiannan Road and can mobilize troops and horses to defend, in addition, you can't be controlled by the envoys." You will take back this official position after the battle, and Weichen will never complain!"
Yin Quan patted Tang Jiusheng on the shoulder, "Tang Jiusheng, I believe in your loyalty, and I also believe in the loyalty of the old national teacher, the Tang family has been the national teacher of the Great Shang Kingdom for three hundred years, and has always been loyal, there are rebellious vassal kings, but there are no rebellious national teachers! Today, I will simply crown you a prince! Of course, Yin Quan's surname is Yin after all, and there is a Yuzhou County as a fief, and you, the prince, do not have a fief, but the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road are under your control, and if necessary, you can also control the two nearby soldiers and horses, how about it?"
Tang Jiusheng was overjoyed, bowed down and said: "Weichen thank Your Majesty for your trust, thank Your Majesty Longen! Weichen will do his best to assist Your Majesty!"
Yin Quan waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to thank you, I heard that the swordsman mission of Great Xia is about to enter Beijing, the main purpose of your entry into Beijing this time is to meet them for a while?"
......
Yin Quan looked at Tang Jiusheng's departing back and sighed, "Little Tang, don't let me down!"
