Episode 10 Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Tang Yin didn't understand why Zhang Xin wanted to drink the emperor's toast, but he also guessed that he must have his own motives for doing so. Zhang Xin was not Tang Yin's direct minister, but he had no choice but to choose to join Tang Yin when it was almost a foregone conclusion that Tang Yin would take the throne of Wind King.

Although Zhang Xin was duplicitous and always bullied others, he was still loyal to Tang Yin, and because of his strong abilities, he won Tang Yin's trust.

The reason why he drank first this time was because he was gambling. Yin Zhun didn't dare to poison the wine at the risk of his own life. As the emperor, Yin Zhun was forced out of the city to greet Tang Yin by the ministers of the Feng Kingdom. Naturally, he was full of resentment towards Tang Yin. No one could guarantee whether the wine he was offering to Tang Yin was clean. Zhang Xin risked his own life to do so. Bet in exchange for more trust and reuse from Tang Yin.

Looking at Zhang Xin who drank all the wine first, Yin Zhen's teeth itched with hatred, but there was nothing she could do against him.

After drinking, Zhang Xin stood silently for a while, feeling nothing strange. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Tang Yin with relief. At the same time, he touched his belly, indicating that Tang Yin was fine with the drink.

The atmosphere on the court was very strange now. Tang Yin, who had not yet understood the situation, could not say much. He cupped his hands to Yin Zhun and said with a smile: "How dare I ask your Majesty to toast? Let's go to the city first!"

His toast was snatched away by Zhang Xin, but no one stood up to reprimand Zhang Xin. Yin Zhen lost face and felt that he would be humiliating himself by staying. He turned around and walked in without saying a word. The emperor took the carriage and asked people to pull the carriage back to the palace.

Looking at Huang Cheng's retreating back, Tang Yin squinted his eyes, and the expression on his face was still half-smiling, making it impossible to guess whether he was happy or angry.

Although Yin Zhun left, the ministers of the imperial court and the ministers of the Feng Kingdom were still there. Without the emperor present, they could show their hospitality unscrupulously, surrounding Tang Yin like stars holding the moon, smiling at each other and saying hello. Make small talk and do the best you can with flattery.

Surrounded by many ministers, Tang Yin and his party entered Yancheng. Every time they walked through a street, they would cause a sensation in the whole street, with thunderous cheers and applause, as if the whole capital was boiling.

From entering Yancheng to returning to the palace, Tang Yin walked for almost an hour. Such a popular scene surprised even Xiaona, and her sense of discomfort in a foreign land suddenly eased a lot.

After returning to the palace, Tang Yin ordered the maid to send Xiaona into the backyard, while he stayed in the front yard to deal with the ministers who came to congratulate her.

The ministers sent off one after another, and they were overwhelmed. Tang Yin was so busy that he was dizzy. Finally, he entrusted Shangguan Yuanji to do the entertainment on his behalf, while he took Qiu Zhen to the backyard.

He had been away from Yancheng for two months, and he also needed to know what happened during this time. Fortunately, the current situation at home and abroad is relatively stable. There are no major incidents, but trivial matters continue. Qiu Zhen picked the main ones, which counties were affected by disasters, which counties were troubled by banditry, and which counties were secretly found to have corrupt officials who violated the law, etc. wait.

Finally, Qiu Zhen did not forget to sue Zhang Xin, and gave a general account of Zhang Xin's decision to take more than a dozen ministers to the palace and force the emperor to go out of the city to greet him.

"Now that the situation in our country is not stable and the people's hearts are not yet settled, falling out with the imperial court will bring a lot of harm but no benefit. Zhang Xin is so happy about his success, but also extremely stupid. Just to help the king to save face, he openly committed the following crime. *The emperor went out of the city to meet the king. There is no doubt that It will make the emperor misunderstand that this is what the king means, and make him angry."

As soon as Qiu Zhen finished speaking, Tang Yin immediately picked up the conversation, smiled slightly, and said, "Qiu Zhen, you have misunderstood Zhang Xin."

"Ah?" Qiu Zhen was startled and looked at Tang Yin blankly.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "It is indeed my intention to ask Zhang Xin to do this. Now, it is time for the emperor to understand who is the master and who is the second in the Feng Kingdom!" He was telling lies with his eyes open. What Zhang Xin did was Because Tang Yin didn't know it beforehand, the reason why he said this was to protect Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin's actions may be excessive and impulsive, but his intentions are good, which is worthy of recognition. Moreover, it happened before that imperial ministers such as Meng Luo and Wang Yi conspired to eradicate Tang Yin. At that time, because of the large armies of Sichuan and Zhen Due to the pressure, he could not delve into the matter, but Tang Yin had always been worried about it. Now Zhang Xin could give the emperor a show of strength in the court hall, so as to prevent them from causing trouble behind his back and causing trouble secretly.

Out of these considerations, Tang Yin simply took matters into his own hands and did not give Qiu Zhen any excuse to impeach Zhang Xin.

Qiu Zhen really didn't expect that Zhang Xin's actions were instructed by Tang Yin. He was stunned for a while, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although the emperor is no longer worthy of his name, his prestige among the people is still there. It is not a good deed to humiliate the emperor like this! "

Tang Yin laughed, smiled, patted Qiu Zhen on the shoulder, and said, "You're right to remind me, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Just this once, I'm afraid it will make the emperor feel resentful! Qiu Zhen sighed secretly, but things had already happened, and it would be useless to be upset anymore. He had no choice but to change the topic and ask about the situation of this trip to Besa.

Tang Yin walked and told Qiu Zhen in detail about Besa's current situation. After hearing this, Qiu Zhen burst into laughter and said, "Looking at it from this point of view, the big thing has been accomplished. Now the king can transfer the Sanshui Army westward to the border of Ningdi."

Qiu Zhen's words also indicated that the war was imminent, and Tang Yin looked solemn. The battle against Du Ji was also a battle related to the future destiny of Feng Country. As a monarch, how could Tang Yin not be cautious?

He asked sternly: "Qiu Zhen, how long do you think this war will last?"

Qiu Zhen counted on his fingers and said: "With the combat power of the Sanshui Army, it will take at most one month to resolve the crisis in Tia and drive Du Ji's army back to the mainland."

Tang Yin asked uncertainly: "Can it be so smooth?"

Qiu Zhen nodded and said: "Taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them when they are unprepared is one of the reasons why our army will win; using elite troops to defeat the exhausted army that has fought hard for more than a year is the second reason why our army will win; our army will enter Tia as reinforcements, and if we fight on the mainland, we will have the advantage of time, place and people, which is the third reason why our army will win. With these three points alone, our army will be able to defeat the main force of Du Ji's army in a short period of time!"

His analysis is not just empty talk, and every analysis is true. After Qiu Zhen finished speaking, Tang Yin felt more confident. He laughed and said easily, "In this battle, we have the advantage of time, place and people. We have no choice but to fight such a battle."

Qiu Zhen hurriedly bowed and agreed, "Your Majesty is right!"

Tang Yin calmed down and looked at his phone and pondered for a moment, then said, "Tonight I will send a letter to Tongmen to transfer the Sanshui Army to the west!"

Qiu Zhen showed a happy expression and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Tang Yin was a warlike person, and Qiu Zhen, his right-hand man, was an extremely warlike and iron-blooded prime minister. This monarch and minister controlled the power of Feng State and made Feng State the center of the vortex of war.

The two walked and talked, and unknowingly came to the courtyard where Xiao Na stayed.

Now the place is very lively, with people everywhere. Maids and guards are coming in and out, moving the carts of dowry that Xiao Na brought into the courtyard. In the room, Tang Yin's three wives, Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi, have also arrived. Because of the language barrier, there are several maids translating beside them. You talk, I talk, and the whole room is noisy.

Xiao Na's injuries have almost healed. Through the maids, she also learned the identities of Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi. Originally, she thought that these three people would definitely team up to exclude her, a princess from a foreign country. Unexpectedly, the three women were very polite to her, especially Wu Mei, who asked her about this and that, and inquired about the customs and customs of Besa, which made Xiao Na, a Besa person who has always been known for her enthusiasm, feel very uncomfortable.

After Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen arrived, the noise in the room finally became smaller. It was rare to meet three wives and a princess together. Qiu Zhen bowed and greeted them one by one, and his waist was almost unable to straighten up. Tang Yin no longer regarded Qiu Zhen as an outsider, but as a confidant and a brother. He asked people to prepare wine and food, and everyone had a meal together.

During the meal, Tang Yin also specifically mentioned Princess Ning Yan Yinghan, and wanted to marry her to Qiu Zhen. When Ning Kingdom was still alive, he wanted to use Yan Yinghan to marry Feng Kingdom to stop the war. Now that Ning Kingdom is dead, Tang Yin has no intention of marrying Yan Yinghan, and it would be very embarrassing to keep her in the palace.

Qiu Zhen fell in love with Yan Yinghan when she first saw her, but because she was the king's fiancée, he did not dare to have any improper thoughts. Now that Tang Yin mentioned this again, Qiu Zhen was nervous and excited, but still politely refused. But this time Tang Yin did not give him a chance to shirk his responsibilities, and directly used the power of the monarch. Regardless of whether Qiu Zhen agreed or not, he insisted on marrying Yan Yinghan to him, and the marriage had to be completed immediately.

During the dinner, listening to the laughter of Wu Mei, Fan Min, Yuan Qianyi, and Xiao Na, Qiu Zhen's old face flushed. He had no taste for the delicacies in front of him, and he was drunk. His mind was full of Yan Yinghan.

Although Qiu Zhen did not explicitly agree to the marriage, he did not object anymore. It was a done deal, and Tang Yin finally solved one of the two worries in the palace. The other worry was Shao Xuan, the princess of Moguo and Shao Fang's younger sister. However, Shao Xuan was too young, and the relationship between Feng Mo was too important. Tang Yin could not push her out for a while, so he could only keep her in the palace.

The meal was a happy one, and everyone talked happily. It was considered that Xiao Na had initially integrated into this new environment.

After the meal, Tang Yin sent the palace guards to escort the drunk Qiu Zhen back to the palace, leaving the four girls to continue chatting, and he went to the study. Before entering the study, he ordered the guards to find Zhang Xin.

Now all the ministers who came to congratulate him have left, except Zhang Xin. He knew that the king would definitely look for him for today's matter, so he patiently stayed in the palace and waited. As he expected, Tang Yin really sent someone to look for him.

Under the guidance of the guards, Zhang Xin entered Tang Yin's study. He walked quickly to Tang Yin, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed: "I, your humble servant, greet the king!"
