Chapter 514: Tang Yin finally waited until the emperor granted him the coveted imperial edict, and finally ascended the throne of the Wind King.
The news soon spread outside the palace. When the people waiting outside the palace heard the news, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Yin's actions to protect his reputation have indeed won him a lot of people's support. The most important point is that Liang Xing's reign during this period has plunged Yancheng into a tense and terrifying atmosphere, making people feel like they have returned to Zhongyin.
In the Tian era, Liang Xing's prestige in the eyes of the people has also been invisibly reduced. In addition, Tang Yin's background is far inferior to that of traditional dignitaries such as Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun. Even he, a young man with an ordinary background, can
Being the throne of the Shangfeng King made the people vaguely feel that one day they could be promoted to a higher position. The court was no longer controlled by the traditional powerful people. Due to these various factors, the people were also willing to see the result of Tang Yin becoming the king.
.
With the receipt of the emperor's edict, Tang Yin was transformed from a county in charge of military power to a veritable monarch. He no longer had to go out in the palace and could live in the palace in a legitimate manner.
The counselors and generals under Tang Yin were naturally very happy. People were waiting outside the main hall, just waiting for the ministers inside to get out early so that they could go in and congratulate Tang Yin. Now, except for Liang Xing, the attitude of the ministers towards Tang Yin was different.
He made a 180-degree turn, must be respectful and respectful, and tried his best to flatter me.
Surrounded by ministers, Tang Yin walked up the steps in the center of the hall and went straight to the chair of the Wind King. Sitting on this chair was the Wind King, the supreme ruler of the Feng Kingdom. When Tang Yin entered the palace before, he
He had sat on it before, but was immediately pulled down by Qiu Zhen and others. Now that he is sitting on it, he is upright and worthy of his name.
Tang Yin walked to the king's chair and turned around. Before he could sit down, Zhang Xin, one of the ministers, suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, wait a moment!"
Unexpectedly, he had been crowned king by the emperor, and someone would dare to stop him from sitting on the throne. Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and looked straight at Zhang Xin's face.
The ministers on the left and right also felt that Zhang Xin was too ignorant of current affairs. Now that Tang Yin was the emperor's personally appointed Wind King, wouldn't he be seeking death if he continued to oppose him at this time? As soon as he finished speaking, some ministers immediately made dissatisfied sounds and said:
"Why did Mr. Zhang prevent the king from taking his seat?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang doesn't understand the rules too much?!"
Tang Yin's anger just disappeared in an instant. Looking at the ministers below, he felt extremely funny. Before the emperor's edict arrived, they simply regarded him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
Now it's good, almost all of them have switched sides and started to speak for themselves.
The world is hot and cold, human relationships are cold and warm, and there is nothing more duplicitous than this.
Zhang Xin swallowed his foam and ignored the other ministers who scolded him. Instead, he said cautiously to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand what Wei Chen means. Wei Chen thinks that the king should replace this king's chair. This chair is too big."
It was unlucky. The previous king died on it, and the following Zhongtian did not sit for a long time. Later, Liang Xiang... oh... Liang Xiang sat for a shorter time, only twenty days, so the king should summon all the skilled craftsmen from all over the country to come.
Let’s build another king’s chair for the king.”
After hearing this, all the ministers present secretly slapped their thighs and regretted it endlessly. Yes, why didn't they think of this? Instead, Zhang Xin, an old fox, took the lead. Liang Xing even almost had his nose crooked with anger.
He originally thought that Zhang Xin still had some integrity and was still opposed to Tang Yin becoming king at this time. Unexpectedly, he could flatter him better than anyone else.
Tang Yin blinked his eyes at first, and then he couldn't help but laughed. Zhang Xin, Liang Xing's confidant, had a very thoughtful plan for him! He didn't have so many superstitions and sat on the king's chair without any worries.
, Youyou said: "Master Zhang said that this king's chair is unlucky, but I also want to see who can pull me off this chair!"
After hearing this, the ministers below looked at each other. Except for Liang Xing, they all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise and powerful, and will last forever!"
"Haha!" Looking at the people kneeling below, Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said to Zhang Xin: "But I have to thank Mr. Zhang for the reminder. This is also the first advice I received after becoming the Wind King."
"The king is going to kill the humble minister!" Zhang Xin was surprised and happy. He knocked his head on the ground and did not stand upright for a long time.
Tang Yin glanced at him again with a smile. At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of Qiu Zhen and others outside the palace gate, looking into the palace from time to time. Tang Yin understood that his brothers were impatient to wait. He was quite patient.
He straightened his waist, waved to the ministers and said, "Everyone, please get up. I am a little tired now, so you can go back for now."
"Oh..." The ministers did not stand up. They looked at each other and asked one after another: "What about the king's coronation ceremony..."
"It's not urgent. It doesn't matter if you wait for two days." Tang Yin said lightly.
"Yes! Your Majesty." After hearing this, the ministers stood up one after another, resigned to Tang Yin, and then exited the hall one after another. The ministers even left the hall, and Qiu Zhen and others impatiently came closer.
Now, it can be said that all the backbones of the Tianyuan Army are present. Wen has Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan and others; Wu has Shangguan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan, Wu Guang, Zhan Hu and others; the commanders also include Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi,
Peng Haochu, Ziying, Guyue and others, this large group of people has recently become larger than the number of civil and military ministers just now.
"I'll bow down to you, Your Majesty!" Everyone changed their words quickly. After a while, they all knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Yin.
"Everyone please get back on your feet!" Tang Yin looked around the crowd with a smile, but soon he saw a person in the crowd who shouldn't have stayed here anymore, Zhang Xin.
When the ministers exited the hall just now, only Zhang Xin stood still. At this time, Qiu Zhen and others also noticed Zhang Xin's presence, and they all frowned secretly, wondering why Zhang Xin was so short-sighted.
What are you doing when you have the audacity to stay?
Tang Yin stared at Zhang Xin and asked casually: "Is there anything else, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Xin, who had just stood up, fell to his knees again with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Chen... Wei Chen has something important to report to the king!"
Tang Yin patiently raised his head and said, "Master Zhang, just say it if you have anything to say!"
"Wei Chen...reported that Liang Xing and other ministers framed the blame and harmed the loyal people of the court, and caused a series of murders." Zhang Xin took courage, gritted his teeth and said. He was betting now. Zhang Xin's mind is not good.
Simple, he knew that Liang Xing had not finished detaining Wu Yu and allowing the Sanshui Army to massacre nearly twenty ministers. Once this matter was thoroughly investigated, none of the ministers in the dynasty would be able to escape, and they would all be implicated.
Including himself, Tang Yin will definitely pursue this matter and make a fuss about it, taking the opportunity to get rid of the ministers and replace them with his own confidants.
If he wanted to get out of the incident and not be implicated, he could only show his kindness to Tang Yin and do his best to help Tang Yin achieve what he wanted to achieve. Only in this way, he might still have a chance of survival, and he might even be able to keep his official position.
.
Hearing this, everyone present had different reactions. Liang Qi's heart immediately twitched and raised his throat. Tang Yin became interested. Zhang Xin was Liang Xing's confidant. What Liang Xing did there,
Zhang Xin naturally understands this very well. If he is willing to stand on his side and provide evidence or confession, it will be easy to bring down Liang Xing and other ministers of the court.
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Xin with lightning eyes, wondering what his true intention was. After a moment of pause, he said quietly: "As far as I know, Mr. Zhang and Liang have an irreversible friendship..."
He deliberately did not finish what he said and asked Zhang Xin to pick it up by himself. Zhang Xin was shocked and said hurriedly: "In front of the king, a humble minister dare not pursue personal affairs, let alone conceal anything. If he has anything to do with the king or the court,
Any unfavorable matter must be reported to the king!"
Haha! Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart, nodded, and said: "Master Zhang is very loyal to me! If what you said is true and you can provide corresponding evidence, I will reward you heavily." After a pause, he turned his head.
The head said: "Cheng Jin."
"Subordinate... I am here!"
Hearing Tang Yin's call, Cheng Jin immediately walked out from the Tianyuan Army. Tang Yin said to Zhang Xin with a smile: "If Mr. Zhang has anything to report, just explain it to General Cheng, and General Cheng will naturally find out the matter.
"
Cheng Jin's official position is not high, only equivalent to the level of regimental commander, but Zhang Xin knows that Cheng Jin's identity is not simple. He is the person in charge of Dark Arrow, and Dark Arrow is the most important espionage organization around Tang Yin. Since Tang Yin arranged for Cheng Jin
Coming forward in person shows how seriously we take this matter.
He swallowed and said: "Wei Chen will do his best to assist General Cheng Jin!"
Tang Yin nodded and said: "You should go investigate this matter now. This matter is related to the lives of dozens of ministers. We must check the matter clearly. There must not be a 'fish that slips through the net'. Do you understand what I mean?"
?”
Zhang Xin is so smart, how could he not hear the hidden meaning of Tang Yin's words? He wants to bring down all the ministers in the dynasty. Zhang Xin rolled his eyes and said: "Back to the king, I will try my best to do it, but...
The minister is also at fault in this matter, Your Majesty..."
Tang Yin was happy and said leisurely: "Since Lord Zhang is willing to make amends for his past mistakes, I can let the past go."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I would like to thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" This was what Zhang Xin wanted to hear. As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Zhang Xin started to kowtow repeatedly.
Qiu Zhen and others looked on, laughing secretly in their hearts. This is the dignified history of governing the country. From a first-class official, now he is just like a pug wagging its tail in front of adults. This is the power of an imperial edict from the emperor.
