Wang Yi's words were not unreasonable, but they were too ruthless and aggressive. The reason why he said this was because he was worried that the emperor would be coerced by Tang Yin if he stayed under someone else's roof. It would be better to act tough from the beginning and suppress Tang Yin.
, so that he will not dare to make mistakes in the future.
However, Yin Zhun obviously didn't understand Wang Yi's intention. After listening to his words, Yin Zhun changed his color slightly. He felt that Wang Yi was too unkind. To put it bluntly, he didn't know what was good or bad. Tang Yin rescued him. What a great contribution. Now he just asked for some food for his subordinates.
The reward is no big deal!
Tang Yin remained calm and didn't even look at Wang Yi. He just waited for Yin Zhun's reply, but this didn't mean that he didn't hold grudges in his heart.
"Haha!" Yin Zhun suddenly laughed, waved his hand towards Wang Yi, and said: "Wang Aiqing, I think it is reasonable and reasonable for the King Protector to ask for merit for his subordinates. Let's do this. All the generals who accompany the King Protector to rescue him will be promoted without titles.
As a viscount, those who have a title will advance to the first level. As for official positions..." Yin Zhun paused, looked around at the ministers, and said bitterly: "There is no general in the court now. Since the king protector is also the general of the court, this matter
Let the decision be made through discussion between the King of Protectors and the Left Chancellor, Mr. Meng Luomeng!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tang Yin cupped his hands and then stood up. It seems that being granted the title of general is not without its benefits. At least it will be much easier to place his subordinates next to Yin Zhun. Thinking about this, he raised his eyes and looked to the left.
Xiang Mengluo.
Munro is a middle-aged man in his fifties. Although he is the left prime minister, he comes from a literary background. He has a gentle appearance, a white face and a black beard, and a medium build. He is usually taciturn and indifferent. He has never had a special relationship with any minister.
close.
When Tang Yin looked at Meng Luo, the latter happened to look at him, and their eyes happened to meet. Tang Yin smiled slightly, while Meng Luo nodded and nodded.
That night, Tang Yin ordered Yingbu to prepare wine and food and hold a banquet in the general's mansion.
Today's Baguan is different from before. The conditions have improved a lot, and the food ingredients stored in the city are also abundant. After the dinner began, various dishes were served one by one, and ten large jars of Fengjiu alone were brought up.
The wind wine was strong and spicy, and Yin Zhun and the ministers living in Shangjing were not used to it. However, everyone was in the mood and drank happily, and the atmosphere of the banquet was lively and harmonious.
At the banquet, the ministers frequently toasted to Tang Yin. After all, if you want to settle down in the Feng Kingdom, your relationship with the Feng King Tang Yin becomes very important.
Xiao Qingfeng and Tang Yin met again when they were in Beijing. At this time, he also acted particularly close. With a bit of drunkenness, he sat at the same table as Tang Yin.
"Xiaguan has never been to Feng Country before, and he is not familiar with Feng Country. In the future, he will have to rely more on His Highness Feng Wang, and I hope His Highness Feng Wang will support me more." Xiao Qingfeng held the wine glass with both hands and asked Tang Yin.
Said with a smile.
Tang Yin's impression of Xiao Qingfeng was neither good nor bad. Compared with most rigid-minded ministers, Tang Yin felt that this person was particularly smooth and well-aware of current affairs.
Just like just now, Xiao Qingfeng knew how to speak for himself in front of the emperor, but Wang Yi, on the other hand, spoke nonsense and went against himself. He finally understood why Sichuan and Zhen two countries wanted to capture Shangjing under the pretext of killing Wang Yi and Qingjun.
Okay, it would be a disaster for such a person who doesn't know how to praise to stay.
He said with a smile: "Master Xiao, you are too polite. Master Xiao is the young master and a close minister of the emperor. It is true that I will have to rely on Master Xiao to take care of me in the future."
"Haha!" Xiao Qingfeng laughed and said quickly: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang really killed this official."
Tang Yin leaned forward and whispered: "You help me, and I'll help you. It's good for each other if we all help each other."
"Yes, yes, yes! What His Highness King Feng said is absolutely true!" Xiao Qingfeng held the wine glass and said with a smile: "I respect King Feng, do it!"
"Dry!"
Xiao Qingfeng and Tang Yin were chatting enthusiastically, toasting each other, chatting and laughing. Many ministers around them cast envious glances. Wang Yi, who was sitting opposite, was secretly shaking his head, his eyebrows almost twisted into knots. Everyone wanted to
To please Tang Yin, everyone will try to please Tang Yin. If this continues, people may gradually forget who is the emperor and who is the prince!
Wang Yi turned his eyes and looked at the left prime minister Meng Luo sitting in front. Meng Luo was the left prime minister and a high-ranking official. There was no one on either side who was toasting. Of course, this has something to do with his withdrawn character. In addition,
It was also because of the lack of generals in the court. Wang Yi rolled his eyes, stood up, walked to Meng Luo's table, picked up his robe and sat down.
Munro was stunned for a moment, but said nothing and continued to eat his food.
Wang Yi first asked: "What does Meng Xiang think of King Feng as a person?"
"Very good! When the emperor is in danger, he dares to make enemies of Sichuan and Zhen and come to the rescue." Munro said expressionlessly.
Wang Yi sneered and said: "However, it is said that the main purpose of King Feng is not to save the emperor, but to save the princess."
Meng Luo raised his head, glanced at Wang Yi, and said calmly: "How can you believe the rumors you hear?"
Wang Yi stopped talking about this matter. He changed the subject and said in a low voice: "Meng Xiang, King Feng's subordinates must not hold important positions in the court."
Meng Luo put down the chopsticks in his hands and stared directly at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi said sternly: "Now the Emperor and we are living under someone else's roof, in the Kingdom of Feng. If even the imperial court infiltrates into King Feng's influence, wouldn't the Emperor and the court become playthings in the hands of King Feng?"
A rare ray of light flashed in Meng Luo's cold eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He picked up the chopsticks again and said, "Master Wang, you are worrying too much."
Wang Yi sighed faintly: "It's not that the lower officials are suspicious, but that people's hearts are unpredictable." As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. After a pause, he whispered with hints.
: "Your Majesty's side must be safe. This is crucial to the rise and fall of the empire."
Munro didn't speak any more and just ate his food in silence. Although he didn't answer, it didn't mean that he didn't listen.
While Tang Yin was entertaining Xiao Qingfeng and other ministers who came to toast, he also peeked around and looked around several times. He didn't see Yin Rou, so the princess must not have come to the banquet.
After sitting for a while, Tang Yin used the excuse of going to the toilet to escape from the lobby and walked straight to the backyard where the princess was.
"Wind King!"
Tang Yin walked to the door of the courtyard where the princess was, and the guards on the left and right immediately bowed and saluted.
He nodded and asked, "Is the princess in the room?"
"Yes!" a guard responded.
"Go in and tell me, I want to see the princess." Tang Yin said in a calm tone.
"This..." The guard looked confused and stood still without moving.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is meeting guests!"
"Meeting guests?" Tang Yin was stunned. What kind of guests did Yin Rou see? This is Baguan, not Shangjing. How can anyone know Yin Rou well? He asked: "Who comes to see the princess?"
"The doctor orders General Montaigne!" the guard answered truthfully.
Lang Zhongling? Tang Yin looked puzzled. If he remembered correctly, the imperial court's Lang Zhongling should be Zhao Kui, and it was said that this person had died in the Battle of Shangjing. Why did Montaigne suddenly appear?
.
The official position of Lang Zhongling is not big, but it is extremely important. He is responsible for protecting the palace. To put it bluntly, he is the captain of the royal guard. If the Shaofu is the first official around the emperor, then Lang Zhongling is the one beside the emperor.
The first general is the person who is close to you.
Originally, Tang Yin wanted one of his subordinates to hold this position, but he didn't expect that someone else had taken the position first, which made him both shocked and angry.
He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way, I want to go in and take a look."
The expressions of the guards on the left and right also changed, and they hurriedly said: "Your Highness, King Feng, you can't go in without the princess's permission..."
Before they could finish speaking, Tang Yin had already waved his hand and pushed the guards away. Is there any place in Feng King that he couldn't enter?
Tang Yin didn't say anything, strode into the courtyard, and then went straight to the main room.
The guards guarding the gate outside the courtyard are all men. Normally, they dare not enter the courtyard. The guards in the courtyard are taken care of by Yin Rou's personal female guards. But now that Tang Yin forced his way in, the guards were so scared that their hearts raised in their throats.
They followed Tang Yin one after another, shouting repeatedly behind Tang Yin: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang is not allowed to enter! His Highness Feng Wang..."
Tang Yin ignored the people behind him at all, and the female guards in the courtyard all knew Tang Yin and knew that his relationship with the princess was extraordinary, so they did not come forward to stop him.
When Tang Yin walked to the door of the main room and was about to go up the steps, the door opened first, and Yin Rou, Xiao Min and a young general who Tang Yin had never seen walked out.
Seeing Tang Yin, a look of surprise appeared on Yin Rou's face, and a blush appeared on her fair jade face, but before she could speak, the young general who was with Yin Rou asked coldly: "What's going on?"
"Back... back to General Meng, it's... His Royal Highness Feng Wang wants to see the princess. I'll wait... I'll wait..." The six guards who had come closer knelt down on the ground, and big beads of sweat fell down.
The young general's eyes slowly turned to Tang Yin, and a smile appeared on his originally indifferent face. He raised his hands and said, "It turns out that His Royal Highness Feng Wang has arrived. General Mengtian has met Feng Wang." As he spoke, he bowed and performed the ritual.
A gift.
Tang Yin looked at this man carefully. Montaigne was tall, a few points taller than Tang Yin. He had a dignified appearance, deep facial features, sword-shaped eyebrows flying like temples, and bright, piercing eyes. He was extremely handsome. In addition,
The armor worn by a general makes him look even more majestic and tall.
Even when Tang Yin looked at Montaigne, he couldn't help but nod secretly and admired such a spirited general!
He waved his hand slightly and said, "General Meng, there is no need to be polite."
Montaigne straightened his body and smiled calmly, but then his smile disappeared and he shouted in a deep voice: "Here comes someone!"
Wow - following his shouts, more than a dozen guards poured in from outside the courtyard.
Montaigne reached out and pointed at the six palace guards kneeling behind Tang Yin, and shouted in a cold voice: "If you allow others to enter the princess's sleeping quarters without permission, you will be executed according to the law."
