"Congratulations to the Duke Chen Xian return to the court!"

Looking at Chen Yichen who was walking towards him step by step, Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong bowed his hand firmly to congratulate him.

If it were half a year ago, there would probably be few civil and military people in the court who could afford the show and congratulations of Duke Cheng. Today he used all his connections and relationships to tell the world that Chen Yichen was not a new official without any background, nor was he alone who could be bullied by others.

In terms of relationships, status, background, and power, I remember Chen is not inferior to others!

If you are dissatisfied, you can try it head-on and see who can laugh to the end.

If you choose to be involved in the imperial power team, you must have a clear standpoint. Those who die the fastest are often those who are on the fence.

"Congratulations to the governor Chen Xian for returning to the court!"

The honorary ministers behind Duke Cheng, Zhu Yong, also bowed to Chen Yichen.

The appearance of this scene was indeed a bit beyond Chen Yichen's expectations. After he was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly bowed and replied, "You are so grand, you are so proud that you dare not take it."

"Di Shen Xian and Wu Qing Bo lifted the siege of Liaodong and supported our Ming Dynasty. We deserve this kind of courtesy!"

Yu Qian stood up and replied with a passionate expression.

He would come to Andingmen to welcome Chen Yichen. Seriously speaking, it had nothing to do with Duke Cheng's identity. It was purely out of public righteousness, and it was celebrating the victory of the other party and the return to the court.

The success of the war in the capital can be said to be the result of the concerted efforts of everyone. From the beginning to the end, the Liaodong crisis was Chen Yichen's advice, which changed the strategic policy and sent troops to help. If it were even one day later, Liaodong might have fallen into the hands of the Tartars, and it would undoubtedly be a dream to counterattack in the cold winter.

By then, tens of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people, and millions of people in the vassal states will be under the control of the tyranny of the Tartars. Population resources will help them recover their strength as soon as possible and once again form a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.

With one move, the situation in Liaodong determines the offensive and defensive momentum between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia!

"Duxian's mother needs to be too humble, this is your due reward!"

The cabinet minister Gao Yu stood up at this time and replied meaningfully to Chen Yichen.

I remember that after paying homage to Yang Pu, Gao Yu made a promise to Chen Yichen to help him step into the palace. Now Chen Yichen is in charge of the Ministry of War and has also been granted the title of Grand Secretary of the Palace Pavilion, but there is still the last step left to the cabinet threshold.

When can we take this step?

Gao Yu didn't know this time before, but now he knows it, just today.

Chen Yichen has turned the tide and helped the building fall, so he should keep his promise and help him to dominate the government and the people!

"Since that's the case, it's better to obey your orders than respect. I thank you for your kindness!"

Chen Yichen did not continue to be polite and modest. He had realized that the emergence of these honorary ministers here was not only to welcome the victorious army to return to the court, but also to show their position to stand for themselves.

It seems that during the month when I was away, the struggle for power in the court has reached a heightened momentum, and there must be a complete loss of power between the two generations of kings!

He struted his head high and walked past the ministers. Chen Yichen continued to walk towards the direction of his return home. When the people and soldiers on both sides of the road saw him coming, many people were excited and subconsciously wanted to surround him.

"Duxian Chen is back. I heard that he defeated the Tartars in Liaodong and protect our Ming Dynasty!"

Now, in name, Zhu Yong has been questioned for punishment and his title. In fact, the eldest son Zhu Yi inherited his influence in the army and even command power. He Pingyan never expected that in the end, what appeared in the Duke of Chengguo's mansion was not the scene of internal fighting in the house, but the brothers who fought against tigers.

"This is difficult..."

Yang Shan sighed. He thought that he could easily complete the "change of dynasty" by taking back the secret order of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, with the loyalty of the Southern Expedition Minister Qi.

Unexpectedly, the variables would come from Chen Yichen.

Why did the Three Yuans and the Years appointed by the Supreme Emperor turn so thoroughly? He should be more loyal to the Supreme Emperor?

"It's up to people!"

He Pingyan replied resentfully and began to think about a solution in his mind.

With the greeting of the soldiers and people in the capital, Chen Yichen was about to arrive at the Duke Cheng's mansion, a carriage from the palace blocked him.

With the help of a little eunuch, Cheng Jing slowly came down from the horse. Seeing the famous man next to the emperor now, Chen Yichen did not dare to neglect. He quickly walked over and bowed to him and said, "Eunuch Cheng, it's been a long time since he was gone."

This time, Chen Yichen did not use the title of Xiaguan anymore. It was not only Cheng Jing's instructions, but also that he had to maintain his majesty as the commander in front of the soldiers.

After all, for ordinary soldiers and the people, they did not understand the power of eunuchs in the palace. In addition, Wang Zhen's infamous reputation at the time, he only regarded eunuchs as lowly eunuchs.

If you see your commander bowing down, it may have a great negative impact.

"It's been a long time since I've been there, Shen Duxian."

Cheng Jing returned a bow with a smile on his face, and then said, "Duxian Chen, Your Majesty summons you to enter the palace immediately and do not delay."

Now?

Chen Yichen was a little surprised when he heard Cheng Jing's words.

Although the troops returned to the court and had to go to the palace to report the saint, under normal circumstances, they had to take a shower and change their clothes, and then go to the imperial city to wait for the imperial decree. Only after the emperor allowed them could they come to the palace to face the saint.

Zhu Qiyu summoned himself into the palace in such a hurry. It seemed that the memorial from Minister Xunqi welcomed the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, which put him in great psychological pressure.

"Eunuch Cheng, I'm still wearing armor and stomach. Why don't I go back to the mansion to change my official uniform first?"

The Face Saint is very particular about dressing neatly and not having any odor. Chen Yichen's body and stomach have dark red blood stains left on it, which is indeed a bit unruly.

"No, Your Majesty has specially advised Shen Duxian to enter the palace directly."

Cheng Jing even said this, so Chen Yichen naturally did not dare to refuse too much, otherwise it would become an order.

So he bowed his hand and prepared to turn around and ride a horse, following Cheng Jing's carriage into the palace together.

But at this moment, Cheng Jing said, "Duxian Chen, why don't you ride in the same carriage with me, and we still have some things to talk to you."

"Yes, Eunuch Cheng."

After his resignation, Chen Yichen boarded Cheng Jing's carriage in the surprise eyes of the deployment.

Accompanied by the creaking sound of the wheels, Cheng Jing lit a plate of incense in the car, which was obviously to dispel the odor of Chen Yichen and allow him to better face the saint later.

Chen Yichen was really impressed by Cheng Jing's casual behavior. Many times, the real chapters were seen in the subtleties. No wonder Cheng Jing was able to experience the ups and downs of life and finally stood at the peak of the inner official. He really had an extraordinary ability.

"Duxian Chen, do you still remember the content of our letter?"

After Cheng Jing put down the incense, he asked this question.

"How come I can't remember."

After hearing Chen Yichen's answer, Cheng Jing nodded and chuckled, "Some time ago, many ministers and ministers in the court jointly submitted memorials to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the capital."

"It is said that there is no two days in heaven, and there is no two masters in the country. After all, the Supreme Emperor is not the father who dies and the son who succeeds, but His Majesty's brother abdicates. If the matter of returning to the capital is not handled well, it may cause great disadvantages."

Compared with Cheng Jing's previous tactfulness, under the pressure of this situation, he said it very directly. He no longer looked for any traps from the Mongolians, which would affect the country and other excuses to prevent Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen from returning.

Instead, he said it straight to the point that a country cannot tolerate two kings!

"Just on the way back to Beijing by Du Xian, the Wastu tribe Yesen sent an envoy to Xuanfu, saying that he would send the Supreme Emperor back to the Ming Dynasty unconditionally."

"What do you think about this matter, Chen Duxian?"

Cheng Jing was not afraid of the Mongolians negotiating terms. After all, he took money and refused to let others go many times, which made the peace talks have no integrity. He just happened to use this excuse to flatly refuse the contact between the two sides of the peace talks, making the memorials of the ministers of honor and relatives in the court a piece of waste paper.

But if the other party sent it back unconditionally, then Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu would have no reason to object. Otherwise, the attacks he suffered would be more serious than those of Zhu Qizhen's return to Beijing.

"Eunuch Cheng, is it your intention this time or your Majesty's intention?"

Chen Yichen did not answer directly, but asked who it was.

"I eat the king's fortune, be loyal to the king, and bear the worries of the king. Our family is deeply grateful to His Majesty, so we naturally have to solve his worries and problems. This is what I mean."

"Since there are no two days and no two masters in the country, then there is only one king left."

Speaking of this, Chen Yichen believed that Cheng Jing understood what he meant. If he really couldn't stop Zhu Qizhen from returning to Beijing, he would never be able to come back.

If anyone else had said that, Chen Yichen would not have been so clear, but Cheng Jing knew about King Lu and continued to hide it would be a waste of time.

"Ha, only Duxian Chen dares to say this."

Cheng Jing smiled meaningfully. If there was no exact answer to the death of King Lu back then, then Chen Yichen was honest and told himself the truth.

"But His Majesty doesn't want to betray each other."

When he said this, Cheng Jing sighed. He had never thought this way, but Zhu Qiyu never had this kind of emperor's ruthlessness.

"I used to think that the royal family has no affection is a derogatory term. Now I understand that many times it is something that has to be done. Your Majesty can only decide on this matter himself. I cannot interfere too much, and I hope my father-in-law will be considerate."

Chen Yichen said it very clearly. It is recommended that you mention it. You will never do the regicide thing, and don’t expect to be a white glove.

Compared to the stigma of the tyrants who are indebted to the Lord and seek honor, the stigma of the tyrants is the crime of being unable to turn over, and it cannot be tolerated by the imperial power.

"Our family understands."

Cheng Jing smiled bitterly. Such things can only be done by the dead soldiers. Unless the ministers want to usurp the throne, they cannot be stupid enough to kill the monarch.

"So what advice does the Shen Duxian Council give if it comes from His Majesty's perspective?"

"Be a good emperor, justice is in the hearts of the people."

After saying this, Chen Yichen looked out the window. History had completely deviated from the track. He is now facing a completely unknown future and does not know what the outcome of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu will be.
