Chapter 907: The Assassin's Affair
The Empress Dowager Chen Qianer naturally had no objections and did not dare to have any objections. Yi Tusheng was used to being domineering. After returning from this battle, the world was shocked by the world and the mighty people in the world. These were already expected by her. Moreover, since the last storm, she has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has not met a man. She needs a "heroic man" like Yi Tusheng to comfort her, so how could she have any objections?
Chen Qian'er picked up a glass of wine and said, "This time he went to the expedition, the emperor's father and the regent have swept the world for the country. He has made great contributions. I want to thank him for this glass of wine for his family. He has created a foundation for our Ming Dynasty forever. Please drink this glass of wine together!" The ministers left their seats and lay on the ground to salute Yi Tusheng.
Yi Tusheng said calmly: "Everyone, let's get up. I have been fighting abroad for many years and miss you all. It's very hard for you to contribute to the country. Come on, I've made this cup!"
The ministers returned to their seats and drank wine, and then many people came out to read congratulations to express their loyalty, and praised Yi Tusheng as a hundred times better than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Tang Zong Song Zu. In the end, someone suggested that Yi Tusheng be rewarded, of course, Qian Longxi, who led his horse in.
Qian Longxi said, "I have never received such contributions from the Empress Dowager, the regent of the Emperor, and have never had such a contribution since the creation of the world. We must give a heavy reward to convince the people and the ministers. Otherwise, if the people are not convinced, it will definitely cause great unrest and no one will contribute to the country in the future!"
Chen Qian'er thought to herself: Yi Tusheng has reached this point, and there is anything else to reward him, unless the nameless little emperor gives way to him, in addition to that, there is only gold and silver fields, and she can never think of anything else! So she was stunned.
Niu Jinxing stood up and said, "We should follow the precedent of the ancients and conferred the princes as the 'fake emperor' wearing the emperor's clothes, set up the emperor's flags, and match the concubines in the six palaces. The princess is the queen, and performs the affairs of the emperor on behalf of the emperor, rides in a dragon carriage and phoenix chasing. The ministers say long live. If this is not the case, it is not enough to commend the prince's achievements!"
Yi Tusheng said, "No, no, no minister is called Long Live? Although I, Yi Tusheng, have made some contributions, I, never dared to accept this title!"
Niu Jinxing, Zhang Heming, Zu Dashou, Zhang Weixian, Cao Hua, Chunhua Sheng, Changlong and others led a group of officials who were dependent on Yi Tusheng to kneel on the ground and kowtow to death, shouting loudly that the prince must comply with the will of heaven and the people to accept all the treatment of the "fake emperor". In the end, the empress dowager Chen Qian'er had no choice but to follow the ministers to persuade him, but Yi Tusheng insisted on not agreeing, and the ministers had to give up for a while. However, Niu Jinxing understood what was going on. This matter was very important. It must be called for three or four times before the prince would come out, and there must be a clear edict from the empress dowager.
With only one word left, Yi Tusheng would become the real emperor, but the difference between this word is not so easy to settle. After all, in order to prevent patients from being Cao Cao and Wang Mang, the Ming Dynasty granted many relatives to be princes in various places. All of these people held heavy troops. Once the court changes, they would immediately serve the king. Yi Tusheng did not want to break up the country and then deal with it, so he was cautious and careful again and again. In his thoughts, it would be best to have a peaceful transition like Wu Zetian and Wang Mang, which would be the most in line with his wishes.
After the banquet, Yi Tusheng ordered his 30,000 troops to be stationed around the palace, and then summoned Niu Jinxing Zu Dashou and other important officials, and took Dong Xiaowan and Dong Damei back home and placed them in a small courtyard with an elegant environment, and promised to make him a concubine. Dong Xiaowan was originally bought by Qian Longxi for a large price. When he thought of serving Qian Longxi these days, he felt unhappy when he thought of serving Qian Longxi, the old guy, but he didn't expect that he was dedicated to Yi Tusheng. She admired Yi Tusheng's reputation for a long time. Now seeing that his handsome man was just so fierce, he liked him even more. The two were intimate in the house for a long time, before Yi Tusheng sorted out his clothes and met Liu Rushi and others. Then he met Niu Jinxing and others.
When Yi Tusheng saw everyone coming, he sat down and asked, "Mr. Niu, the letter you wrote to me said that there were many assassins in the capital. What was going on? Who was assassinated? The person who came had high martial arts skills or not. Is there any reaction in the palace? How about the deposed empress dowager?!"
Niu Jinxing said: "Your Majesty, although you have appeared at this moment, but no one died. It was just that General Zu Dashou and General Chang Long suffered some minor injuries. Fortunately, they were helped by the experts of Piaoxiang Sect, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The contributions made by Lord Jingtai in this place are extraordinary!"
Yi Tusheng looked up and saw that Zu Dashou and Chang Long looked different, and there was a bandage hanging on one of Zu Dashou's arm. Yi Tusheng hurriedly walked down from the seat and asked about their condition with concern. The two were moved and hurriedly knelt on the ground. Zu Dashou said:
"Your Majesty, the injury of the empress is nothing. I was born in the army and have suffered too many injuries in the wars in the south and north over the years. This is nothing. However, the empress cannot be distracted by the empress. It is a great crime, a death sentence, a death sentence!"
Chang Long said, "I don't know where my grandson came from. He actually dared to assassinate me. I really don't know how to live or die. It was because I drank too much that I succeeded. Otherwise, I would never embarrass the prince. Don't worry, I will catch them all out no matter what."
Yi Tusheng coughed and said, "Send the order, Zu Dashou Niu Jinxing, Cao Huachun Changlong Hua Sheng, Zhang Heming and others were all awarded the first-class Duke, and given iron vouchers to exempt death, thousands of acres of good land. In addition, Zu Dashou Changlong was injured in the country and rewarded 100 taels of gold. The other meritorious soldiers, such as Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Qi Bingzhong, Zhao Shujiao and others, also awarded the reward accordingly, and the rest of the individuals were awarded the first-class Marquis, and the reward was reduced by half. Let's go down and handle it!"
A little eunuch ran in with his waist bent, then quickly ran out and ran to the Ministry of Revenue to pass the imperial edict. Yi Tusheng controlled the state power and did not need to pass the court meeting to decide these things. Besides, the Ministry of Revenue is managed by Niu Jinxing, so there will be no resistance to the quantity.
After everyone thanked him, Niu Jinxing continued: "The prince just asked about the deposed empress dowager. There is one thing that the empress dowager has never dared to report, but actually... actually..."
Yi Tusheng said: "Can the deposed empress dowager escape?!"
Niu Jinxing knelt on the ground: "The prince is wise, and I am afraid that he will disturb the prince's war outside, so I dare not report that he is not unfair. Please tell me. If the prince wants to ask for a crime, it is only Niu Jinxing's sin alone, and it has nothing to do with other people!"
Yi Tusheng sighed, "Forget it, I won't wait until now if I ask for guilt. Do you really think that I am deaf and blind after leaving the capital. I don't know what you are doing. Just run away. The Jinyiwei will catch her back. You all get up. I won't blame you."
Niu Jinxing wiped the sweat from the ground and stood up and said, "I deserve to die. I have one more thing to report to me. I have already listed the list of conferred concubines. The prince will become a 'fake emperor' and will be rewarded. Please give me a look!"
Yi Tusheng smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't look at it anymore. But Princess Chang'an and Zhu Jian must be in front, otherwise I will be in a mess. When things are done in two days, I will leave it to the Ministry of Rites to do it! You go down first, I will also have to rest. After the morning court tomorrow, I will ask about the assassin's affairs!"
