Episode 10 Chapter 46
Chapter 46
There was no words on the way, and Tang Yin and Xiao Na's team returned to the wind capital Yancheng TXT download smoothly.
Tang Yin brought Princess Besa back to the capital, and the people of Yancheng lined the streets to welcome him. The marriage between Feng State and Besa heralded a closer relationship between the two countries in the future, and also marked the complete elimination of the centuries-old threat to the north of Feng State. The people Naturally, everyone is full of joy, and every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations as if it were a New Year celebration, making it very lively.
The emperor Yin Zhun was not happy about the marriage between Feng Guo and Besa. Instead, he believed that Tang Yin's strength would be further improved and his position in Feng Guo would be more stable. Likewise, he would step on himself even more. He had no intention of leaving the palace to greet him, but the ministers of the Feng Kingdom, headed by Zhang Xin, the governor of Su Nei, took the initiative to come to the main hall of the palace and 'invite' the emperor to come out of the city to greet him.
In the main hall, Zhang Xin and others stood in the middle, not even looking at the imperial ministers on the left and right. They all held their heads high and acted as if there was no one else around.
It stands to reason that they are just ministers of the principality. Their status is much inferior to that of the ministers of the imperial court, and they are not qualified to meet the emperor directly. However, this is the Feng Kingdom. The imperial court is weak and the Feng Ting is strong, let alone the imperial court. The ministers Zhang Xin and others did not take it seriously. Even the emperor looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. They felt that the emperor was just a puppet raised by their Feng Kingdom.
After hearing the intentions of Zhang Xin and others, Yin Zhun looked ugly. The reason why he was promoted to the court now was to wait for Tang Yin to bring Princess Besa Xiaona to pay homage to him. He was the majestic emperor, the emperor of a country, but Xiaona was just Since she was married to the Feng Kingdom, she was supposed to come to pay homage to the emperor. How could she do the opposite and ask the emperor to go out of the city to greet her? How is this appropriate? Where is the majesty of the emperor?
Yin Zhun said solemnly: "The Feng King is returning to marry a princess from a foreign country. Unless he is returning in triumph from an expedition, how can I go out of the city to welcome her?"
"Humph!" Zhang Xin laughed out loud, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, marrying Princess Besa will ensure that there will be no more wars in our Gale North for decades. Although it is not an expedition, it is more meaningful than an expedition and a triumphant victory. All the people in the world are cheering. "As the emperor, shouldn't you set an example?"
When speaking, Zhang Xin's hand was not directed at Yin Zhun, but to the side, which was obviously a salute to Tang Yin.
Seeing his actions and listening to his words, some of the imperial ministers present subconsciously clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
Mengluo, the left prime minister, said angrily: "Master Zhang, your majesty makes his own decisions when dealing with matters. How can you force him to influence you? You can be punished with the crime of disrespect just by what you just said..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xin turned around, looked at Meng Luo, and said coldly and sinisterly: "I am discussing important matters with His Majesty, what qualifications do you, a mere martial artist, have to interrupt? If you hadn't waited for the sycophant to tell me Your Majesty made slanderous remarks, so why did the two kingdoms of Sichuan and Zhen raise troops to rebel?"
The left prime minister of the imperial court was scolded by Zhang Xin as a mere warrior, which shows how arrogant the latter's arrogance has reached.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed, including Yin Zhun. On the surface, Zhang Xin scolded Meng Luo as a sycophant, but in fact, he was insinuating that Yin Zhen could not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and was a coward.
Before Meng Luo could continue to speak, Zhang Xin said to Yin Zhun: "Your Majesty has lost his virtue to the people by listening to the slanderous words of the sycophants. If you listen to the slanderous words again, I am afraid that you will be the king of subjugation!"
These words were so strong that there was a sound of inhalation in the hall, and Yin Zhen was trembling with anger. He pointed at Zhang Xin below and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing the emperor and his father being humiliated in front of Zhang Xin, the doctor standing among the generals stepped out of the queue and shouted: "Zhang Xin, you are so brave, you dare to speak rudely in front of His Majesty, how can you do it today?" Allow you?" As he spoke, he shouted toward the outside of the hall: "Someone is coming——"
Following his words, a group of golden-armored warriors holding halberds poured in from outside the hall.
Montaigne pointed at Zhang Xin angrily and shouted: "Take down this lawless and rebellious thief immediately!"
Before the imperial guards could come forward, Zhang Xin also shouted: "I am the official Zhi Su Neishi of Dafeng. Who dares to be rude to me?"
No one thought that Zhang Xin's words would be more effective than the doctor in charge of palace security, Ling Montaigne.
The guards looked at each other in shock, then bowed their heads and retreated. Not to mention they didn't dare to approach Zhang Xin, they didn't even dare to enter the main hall. The palace is in Feng Country, and the guards in the palace are all Feng people. For them, Feng Ting is their real master. As the governor of Feng Country, Zhang Xin is a high-ranking official of the second rank. How can they afford to offend him? ?
Seeing this, Montaigne was anxious and angry, and his eyes were red. He was the immediate superior of the palace guards, but at the critical moment, no one obeyed his command, and they were all scared away by Zhang Xin. This situation also made Emperor Yin Zhen break into a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that he was surrounded by people from Feng Ting. It turned out that the life and death of the emperor had always been in the hands of Feng Guo.
Yin Zhun sat on the imperial chair, sweating profusely and trembling.
Zhang Xin raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. Without even looking at the angry father and son Munro and Montaigne, he raised his head and said, "If your Majesty wants to be a wise king and a saint, you must obey the destiny and the will of the people. Please leave the city." Welcome the Wind King and Princess back to the capital!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers of the Feng Kingdom who came with him said in unison: "Your Majesty, please go out of the city to welcome the king and princess back to the capital!"
Immediately afterwards, a large group of imperial ministers headed by Right Prime Minister Guo Tong knelt down and kowtowed forward. However, they said the same words as Zhang Xin and others, and asked Yin Zhun to personally lead the civil and military officials out of the city to greet Tang Yin and Xiao Na.
The ministers of the Feng Kingdom said so, and the ministers of the imperial court also said the same. Looking at the people below, Yin Zhun felt that he was surrounded on all sides, helpless, and allowed to be bullied. Even he himself began to doubt that he It might be a mistake not to welcome Tang Yin back to the capital, but it would be right to go out to welcome Tang Yin.
Under the tough attitude of Zhang Xin and other ministers of the Feng Kingdom, and the support of Guo Tong and other imperial ministers, Yin Zhun finally had no choice but to compromise. He could only choose to compromise and go out of the city to meet Tang Yin in person according to the wishes of Zhang Xin and others.
Seeing that the emperor was bullied to such an extent by a second-rank official of the Feng Kingdom, Mengluo and Montaigne were filled with indignation. The censor, the Prime Minister Wang Yi, burst into tears and could not kneel down in the hall.
In order to please Tang Yin, Zhang Xin forced himself into the palace on his own initiative. This made Yin Zhun more aware of his current situation of being dependent on others, and also intensified the contradiction between the Fengguo court and the emperor Yin Zhun. Now Yin Zhun no longer feels the same gratitude to Tang Yin as before, but only has unforgettable shame and hatred.
Yin Zhun could personally lead the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty out of the city to welcome the readers. Come to him. Tang Yin, who didn't understand the inside story, was also surprised. Of course, he was also very happy. He walked out of the carriage, walked quickly to Yin Zhun, raised his hands and said "How virtuous and capable I am, that I bother Your Majesty to go out of the city to greet me personally."
"Haha!" Yin Zhen laughed, but the laughter sounded very weird and harsh. He staggered two steps forward, stood in front of Tang Yin, stretched out his hand to support his arm, and said, "Tang Aiqing and Fan It’s so gratifying to have a confederate marriage, an alliance, and a beautiful woman to return home!”
He felt awkward hearing this. It didn't sound like a compliment, but more like a sarcasm. Tang Yin frowned secretly, raised his nose to sniff, and the smell of alcohol hit his nostrils. Looking at Yin Zhun's face, it was unnaturally red. He must have drank a lot just now. Less wine. He smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is serious. It is thanks to Your Majesty that we can successfully marry Princess Besa."
Yin Zhun waved his hand, patted Tang Yin's shoulder, and said, "When did Tang Aiqing become so humble in front of me?" Without waiting for Tang Yin to answer, he looked behind Tang Yin again and asked, "Why don't you see me?" Princess Besa? Why didn’t she come to see me when I came to pick her up?”
Tang Yin stared at Yin Zhun for a moment and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I was attacked by horse bandits on the road. The princess was injured and cannot get out of the car now."
"Oh? Someone actually dared to attack Tang Aiqing. How audacious! Where is Princess Besa? Take me to see how injured she is!" As he spoke, Yin Zhun staggered past Tang Yin.
Xiaona was injured and disheveled, so even if the emperor went to visit her, it would be inappropriate. Tang Yin didn't know what medicine Yin Zhun had taken today, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
Just as he was about to turn around to stop him, Zhang Xin and others among the ministers came quickly, stopped Yin Zhun, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"
"Self-respect?" Yin Zhun seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He threw his head back and laughed loudly. He raised his hands and pointed at Zhang Xin and everyone, and said: "It was you who asked me to pick me up, and now it is you who are stopping me. You What do you want me to do?" Thanks to his drunkenness, Yin Zhun also gave up and his attitude was much tougher than when he was in the palace just now.
Tang Yin didn't know what was going on, but through Yin Zhen's words and his attitude when speaking, he also guessed that Zhang Xin and others asked him to go out of the city to meet him, and they might even have used coercive means. Tang Yin pretended to be confused, turned around, and said to Yin Zhun: "The princess is seriously injured, and it is true that she cannot see you now. When the princess recovers from her injury, I will take her to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Yin Zhun was slightly tipsy, not very drunk. After hearing what Tang Yin said, he just accepted it, nodded and said, "In that case, I won't let Tang Aiqing be in trouble." As he spoke, he raised his head. Raising her hand, a maid stepped forward and brought over a tray with a wine bottle and two wine cups.
After the maid filled the wine cups with wine, Yin Zhun picked up one wine cup, handed the other wine cup to Tang Yin, and said, "Tang Aiqing returns to the capital. I propose a toast to you to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust!"
At this time, something unexpected happened to everyone present. Before Tang Yin could receive the wine, Zhang Xin took the wine cup first and said: "Your Majesty, the Wind King traveled far to Bessa. He traveled thousands of miles and was tired all the way. It is not suitable to drink. Let Wei Chen drink this glass of wine on behalf of King Feng!" As he spoke, regardless of whether Yin Zhun and Tang Yin agreed or not, he raised his glass and drank the wine completely.
The emperor toasted the prince, but as a minister, Zhang Xin snatched the wine and drank it all in one gulp. This was a very rude behavior for both Yin Zhun and Tang Yin. If you look deeper, he could even be executed immediately. .
