186 The Son of Heaven bestows service (two in one)(1/2)
The humble kneeling of the envoy of the Imperial House also made Zhu Qizhen feel full of passion and sweep away the previous haze.
This is the majesty of the Emperor of the Central Plains and the common ruler of the world. The barbarians from all directions should kneel in front of me and be slaves of the Ming Dynasty!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and ordered a banquet to entertain the envoys of the four barbarians. At the same time, a group of musicians from the teaching office came out and prepared to play music and dance to celebrate.
But at this moment, Chen Yichen went out to work and started the remark: "Your Majesty, since you have arrived at the school in person, it is better to replace the rituals and music of the Jiaofangsi with the martial arts of our Ming soldiers according to local conditions!"
There is a famous saying in "Zizhi Tongjian" that is called "barbarians" and is a beast, fearing power but not merciful!
Chen Yichen knew very well that the "submission" bought by relying on the tribute system as an unjust seed is worthless. If these four envoys truly feared the Ming Dynasty, they had to use enough force to come out.
This is the real reason why he suggested that the banquet be placed in the schoolyard in the suburbs of Beijing!
Today, let the four envoys with dissent intentions see whether I, the Ming Dynasty, can no longer move my sword, or are you floating around?
After Chen Yichen finished speaking, Yang Shan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, stood up: "Report to Your Majesty that Chen Xiu's move is not in line with the tribute etiquette law, and the subordinate officials expressed their objections."
Yang Shan is a personal talent. Chen Yichen was "late" to accept the surrender ceremony before, but he gave him a step forward.
But you should know that Honglu Temple relies on organizing various activities and etiquette to make a living. Chen Yichen's behavior of changing the ritual process by himself was simply a waste of Honglu Temple's job.
After all, there is the first time, who knows if there is a second time? The precedent cannot be opened.
"The old minister applauded what Yang Keqing said."
Hu Yi, Minister of Rites, also stood up and expressed his support for Yang Shan.
On the one hand, the Ministry of Rites also made a living, and could not be thrown into trouble. On the other hand, Chen Yichen is too popular today and has become the protagonist of the tribute gift.
If Chen Yichen continues to act recklessly, his fame and prestige will be greatly improved. Even if this kid has not yet become a member of the eunuch party and stands opposite to the civil servant group, in fact, his relationship with Wang Zhen is far closer than that with civil servants.
At the same time, Hu Yi had a vague premonition in his heart that even if Yang Pu showed goodwill to this kid, he could not repair the gap with Chen Yichen and let him be himself.
Since it cannot be used by me, then the conflict of interest between Chen Yichen and the civil servant group will be far greater than that of Wang Zhen.
After all, Chen Yichen could not castrate himself by wielding his sword and robbing the position of eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. But he could climb up all the way to compete for the titles of six ministries and even cabinet chiefs, which blocked the promotion of He Pingyan, Yang Hongze and others.
Yang Shan and Hu Yi's opposition won the support of the vast majority of civil servants present. The collapse of rituals and music in the Western Weekend was an eternal pain in the hearts of Confucian literati. How could Chen Yichen use his weapons to hinder etiquette?
Hu Yi's position as a senior of the five dynasties, the former emperor entrusted his orphans, was still very high. Even if Zhu Qizhen was more inclined to Chen Yichen's suggestion at this moment, he could not refute the face of Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites.
Just as Zhu Qizhen was about to make a decision, an important official in a scorching Qilin suit stood up, and he was Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong!
"I am going to report to Your Majesty. I agree with the suggestions of editor Chen Xiu. The school is the place for the exercises and competitions. Why not show the mighty and fierceness of our Ming soldiers?"
The appearance of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong brought huge psychological impact to civil and military officials.
You should know that even though Chen Yichen was attacked and impeached at the court meeting, Zhu Yong, and Cheng Guogong, never came forward to ease the situation, let alone shelter and favoritism.
Many times, the Xuqi Group represented by Zhu Yong did not intervene like a spectator, and Chen Yichen's "hate" between eunuchs and civil servants. So much so that most officials forgot about his and Chen Yichen's father and son's blood.
Today, facing Hu Yi, a civil servant, clearly expressed his attitude, Duke Cheng Guoguo Zhu Yong stood up to support him.
Does this represent the identity of a father or the attitude of a grandfather?
Soon the next scene answered everyone's doubts.
"Report to Your Majesty, I will discuss with you as the Duke of the Kingdom."
British Duke Zhang Fu stepped out and expressed his opinions to Emperor Zhu Qizhen. His sidelines made the civil servants present collectively stunned, even as calm as Hu Yi, all looked unexpected.
The Ming Dynasty honors and relatives were passed down to the Zhengtong dynasty, and their nominal status was respected by Duke of Wei. Because his title was granted by "founding the country and assisting fortune", it was naturally higher than the honors and relatives who were granted by the title of "Fengtian Jingnan" during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty.
Even though Duke of Wei was neglected to take up the team during the Jingnan period, Emperor Jianwen was still there, and he successfully made a bet on both ends, and no one among the honorary relatives could do anything.
In terms of power, Zhu Yong, Duke Chengguo, was temporarily ranked first. In the ninth year of Zhengtong, he led his troops to attack the three guards of Urianha, allowing Zhu Yong to control the military power. No matter which dynasty, who actually controlled the gun in his hands, he would have great power.
However, in terms of status, British Duke Zhang Fu ranked first in Yuxunqi.
The reason is no different. Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong was the second generation inherited title, Duke Wei Guo Xu Xianzong was the fourth generation inherited title, and Zhang Fu was the first generation of Duke British!
The current duke of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the sons and nephews of the British Duke Zhang Fu. On the premise of governing the world with filial piety, the status of the elders is naturally higher than that of the younger generations, even the emperor Zhu Qizhen had to give him three points of thin air.
The Duke of England and Duke Cheng Guo came forward, which means that the Wuxun Group officially took the team. Chen Yichen. If other forces in the court want to control the situation at will in the future, they have to consider the consequences.
"I agree with what Duke Chengguo said!"
Chen Ying, Hou of Taining, also stood up and expressed his opinion, both public and private, and he had to support Chen Yichen.
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I agree with the advice of Chen Xiu.
The relatives of the foreigners, Huichang's uncle, Sun Zheng, Wenxun, Jingyuan's uncle, Wang Ji, and even Xu An, the Marquis of Yongkang, who had a "gap" with Chen Yichen, collectively listed the suggestions of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong.
If the Xunqi Group does not take sides, it will be a vibrating force for the government and the country!
Even Wang Zhen, who always maintained a mentality of watching dramas, had a change in his expression on his face. Chen Yichen's influence in the Xunqi Group was somewhat beyond his imagination.
This situation is absolutely impossible to lead by Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Yong alone. Chen Yichen must have the ability.
In fact, just as Wang Zhen thought, top honorees such as British Duke Zhang Fu were willing to support Chen Yichen clearly because of his performance as a stern messenger, which made the honorees very satisfied!
However, this alone is not enough to make such a statement. The fundamental reason why the entire Xunqi Group really aroused the support of Chen Yichen is the importance of military soldiers, which can be regarded as the foundation of the military general Xunqi!
Although the Ming Renxuan dynasties also went to war, they still focused on rest and recuperation as a whole. It can be said that swords and guns entered the Kuma and released horses in the Nanshan Mountains. It was not until the Ming Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne that his martial arts were revived.
The long-term inheritance of peace has led to the continuous decline of the status of warriors. In addition, various second-generation and third-generation descendants inherited the title, and the overall quality of the Xunqi Group has also continued to decline, without the peak of the Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, the military honors urgently need to make great achievements to regain power. The battle of Luchuan, the quelling chaos in the southeast, and even the main war factions in the four campaigns of Mongolia were all the entire Xunqi group building momentum.
So even if Chen Yichen's identity as a child of Xun Qi, as long as he is willing to praise martial arts, the Xun Qi Group will show goodwill and help. Just like the cooperation with eunuch Wang Zhen and civil servant Wang Ji.
After all, if you don’t do this, the Xunqi Group, which does not provide a new force without the imperial examination system, will inevitably be defeated by the civil servant group in a protracted war. The Tumubao Incident only accelerated this process.
"Then let me show my Ming soldiers as the Duke of Chengguo said!"
Zhu Qizhen agreed with Duke Cheng's advice. In a sense, when the entire Xunqi Group reported to the group, even the emperor did not have much choice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The second voice was Chen Yichen's thank you. He looked at Duke Cheng and Zhu Yong meaningfully at this moment, but he did not expect that the other party would support him at this time.
After thanking him, Chen Yichen turned around and faced the soldiers in the distance, shouting: "The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty obeyed the order!"
"Here!"
A shout of thunder came, and the Beijing camp and the soldiers of the Southern Army who had been waiting for a long time could no longer contain their inner passion!
"You are the tigers in the Ming Dynasty, and you have the courage of thousands of men. Today, my son will show the majesty of my Ming Dynasty soldiers and make all the barbarians in the world surrender. Can you do this?"
Faced with Chen Yichen's inquiry, thousands of soldiers used flags and weapons to smash into the ground, making a dull "dongdongdongdong" sound like a drumbeat.
Finally gathered into the battle call of the Ming army: "Ming! Ming! Ming!"
When waves of sound waves came, the four barbarians who were waiting to enter the banquet were pale and frightened.
Most of them have only heard about the power of the Central Plains dynasty and the mighty power of the Ming Dynasty in historical records or transit merchants.
Now we can witness with our own eyes what it means to be a golden sword and an iron horse that will swallow mountains and rivers!
Li Da and other classmates at Yingtian’s school looked at Chen Yichen who was above the command in the distance, and felt a sense of unreality in his heart.
It seemed that at this moment he was not a Hanlin civil servant, but his commander on the battlefield, who could lead all the soldiers invincible and unbearable!
Compared with Li Da, the important officials of the court and the country who stood on the high platform of the school grounds could more clearly feel the change in Chen Yichen's momentum.
How could there be a trace of a Confucian minister here? It’s like a general!
After the soldiers in the school field received the order, they began to perform martial arts according to the established subjects. The Five Military Camp, mainly infantry, practiced bows, crossbows, and shooting. The rain of arrows and rains pierced into the target with the whistling sound of breaking through the air, which was shocking!
This kind of touch is like the scene of Qin army volleying bows and crossbows in the later movie "Heroes", shouting "High Wind", and a real saturated attack.
The three thousand battalions, mainly cavalry, showed various roundabout encirclement, horse archery, cavalry, and heavy cavalry advancement. Just by horse-time, the iron cavalry during the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty was not inferior to the Mongolian cavalry.
Outside the Marsai, it was also a retained project by Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty!
Gucen
The three thousand battalions, mainly firearms, brought out the "tiger cannon", "fire dragon gun", "shen machine gun", "flock of bees" and other weapons. The gun platoon tactics used to open their eyes, let alone the four barbarians' envoys' eyes. When they smelled the faint smell of gunpowder, even Chen Yichen had the illusion of a sudden disappearance.
This can be called a "high-tech" combat method that transcends the era. As long as it develops according to the firearm route, the Mongolian cavalry will become a joke.
The soldiers of the Southern Army came on the field to practice insurgent formations, assassination and other events. They did not have too many fancy moves, but the killing aura that had seen blood, even hundreds of meters away, could make everyone on the platform feel the "bloody smell".
This is the army of all battles!
After the martial arts exercise, the effect was very significant. The four barbarians of nearly a thousand people made the group silent. Everyone burst into a sense of fear. If this Ming army came to attack their own country, how long could it last?
Even the envoy of the Wassat who had been preparing to give the Ming Dynasty had a very serious expression at this moment. He never expected that the Ming army was so strong that the Wassat did not have the ability to challenge it.
Seeing the changes in expressions of the four envoys, Zhu Qizhen was very happy. He directly thought of the officials of the Ministry of Revenue Qing Office and ordered: "After the tribute is over, all the soldiers will be rewarded!"
"My me, please follow the sages!"
Ordinary people always start with courtesy and then fight. Chen Yichen directly starts with military service and then fights. Only after the martial arts performance is over, the banquet is officially started.
I just don’t know if the envoys of the Four Barbarians could still eat the imperial banquet after experiencing this "intimidation" by force...
Just as the civil and military officials and the four barbarians entered the seat, Zhu Qizhen called out Chen Yichen, who was about to walk towards the down seat, and said, "Aiqing Chen, please sit in my head."
The lower chief of the emperor's throne was a "high-end" table for the princes and grandchildren. The kings of the Ming Dynasty were raised as pigs in their fiefs, so the first table below actually became a special table for the grandchildren.
