The news quickly reached the outside of the palace. When the commoners outside the palace heard the news, many of them heaved a sigh of relief.
The fact that Tang Yin had always been defending his own reputation had won him a lot of hearts and minds. The most important thing was that, during this period of time, Liang Xing had caused everyone's Yan City to sink into a tense and terrifying atmosphere, making them feel as if they had returned to the era of Zhong Tian. In addition, Tang Yin's background was far inferior to traditional nobles like Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun. Even a youth of ordinary birth like him was able to ascend to the throne of the Feng King. This made the citizens feel that there would be a day when they would be able to add officials to their ranks, and the imperial court would no longer be controlled by the traditional nobles.
Following the transmission of the Son of Heaven's edict, Tang Yin's body changed, the County Head who held the authority of the army immediately became a reputed Monarch, he no longer needed to go outside of the palace, and could legally live here.
The advisers and Generals s under Tang Yin's command were naturally overjoyed. They waited outside the hall, waiting for the ministers in the hall to get the hell out so they could go in and congratulate Tang Yin. Now, other than Liang Xing, all the other ministers had a 180 degree change in attitude towards Tang Yin. They had to be respectful and flatter him as much as possible.
Surrounded by the ministers, Tang Yin walked up the stairs at the center of the hall, straight to the seat of the Feng King. When Tang Yin had entered the palace in the past, he had also sat down, but he was immediately pulled down by Qiu Zhen and the others. Now that he was seated on the chair, it was already an honorable and honorable place for him.
Tang Yin walked to the front of the throne, and turned back. Before he could take a seat, one of the officials suddenly called out: "Great King, wait!"
He never thought that after being bestowed the throne by the Son of Heaven, there would still be someone who would dare to stop him from sitting on it. Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and his gaze landed on Zhang Xin's face.
Right now, Tang Yin was already a Feng King personally bestowed by the Son of Heaven. If they were to go against him now, wouldn't that be courting death? Just as he finished speaking, a few officials immediately voiced out in dissatisfaction, "Why is the Master Zhang obstructing the Great King from taking her place?"
"That's right, Master Zhang really doesn't know the rules, right?!"
The anger that Tang Yin had just shown disappeared in an instant, but when he looked at the officials below him, he felt that it was extremely funny. When the Heavenly Child edict had not arrived, they had simply seen him as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh.
The world was cold and the people were cold. Two or three sides were cut, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Zhang Xin swallowed his saliva, and ignored the other ministers who scolded him, but instead said to Tang Yin carefully: "Great King, do not misunderstand this humble subject's meaning, this humble subject thinks that Great King should replace the Emperor's throne, this chair is too unlucky, Former King died on it, and Zhong Tian did not sit for long after, later on Prime Minister Liang … Oh... Prime Minister Liang has been sitting here for even less than twenty days. Therefore, the King should once again summon all the skilled craftsmen in the entire nation to come to the capital to create another throne for the King. "
Hearing this, all the officials present slapped their thighs in regret. That's right, why didn't they think of this point? was so angry that his nose almost crooked. He had thought that Zhang Xin still had some integrity in him and still objected to Tang Yin being called king at this time. He didn't expect that he could be flattered more than anyone else.
Tang Yin first blinked his eyes, then he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Zhang Xin, this confidant of Liang Xing's, had thought it over very carefully! He was not superstitious and sat on the throne without hesitation, saying softly, "Master Zhang said that this throne is not lucky, I want to see who can pull me down from this chair!"
Hearing that, all the ministers beneath looked at each other, and aside from Liang Xing, all of them kneeled on the ground and said in unison, "The Great King is truly a wise and mighty man, a man who has lived for thousands of years!"
"Ha ha!" Looking at the kneeling crowd below, Tang Yin laughed leisurely and said to Zhang Xin: "However, I still have to thank Master Zhang for his reminder. This is also the first suggestion I received after becoming a Feng King."
"Your Majesty, kill this humble subject!" Zhang Xin was both surprised and happy. He kowtowed on the ground and couldn't straighten his body for a long time.
Tang Yin smiled as he glanced at him again. At this time, out of the corner of his eyes, Tang Yin saw that Qiu Zhen and the others were looking into the hall from time to time. Tang Yin understood that his subordinates were starting to get impatient. He straightened his back and waved his hand at the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, get up. This King is also a little tired. You can go back for now."
"Oh …" The ministers didn't get up, but looked at each other and asked one after another, "Then the king's coronation ceremony …"
"No rush, two days won't be a problem." Tang Yin said casually.
"Yes!" "Great King." After hearing these words, the ministers all stood up and said their goodbyes to Tang Yin before leaving the hall one by one. The court officials retreated out of the main hall as Qiu Zhen and the rest entered.
Right now, the core members of Tianyuan Army were all present, including Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan, Zong Yuan and the rest. Shangguan Yuan, Jiang Fan, Wu Guang, Wu Guang, Zhan Hu, Zhan Hu and the others were all in command, and the number of people in this large group was even more than the number of Minister of Civil And Military Affairs members just now.
"Your subjects pay their respects to the king!" Everyone quickly changed their words. After they finished speaking, they all kneeled down and kowtowed to Tang Yin.
"Everyone, rise!" Tang Yin laughed and looked at the people around him, but he soon spotted someone in the crowd who should not be staying any longer, Zhang Xin.
When the ministers had left the hall, only Zhang Xin stood still. At this time, Qiu Zhen and the others also noticed Zhang Xin's existence, and all of them frowned, wondering to themselves why Zhang Xin was so blind, why did he still remain at this time with such a thick skin.
Tang Yin stared at Zhang Xin, and casually asked: "Master Zhang, is there anything else?"
Zhang Xin who had just stood up flopped onto his knees once again and said with a trembling voice, "This humble subject … This humble subject has something to report to the King! "
Tang Yin patiently raised his head and said: "If Master Zhang has anything to say, then say it!"
"This humble subject... Report to the officials like Liang Xing for bringing harm upon the court and for crippling their loyalty to the court, as well as for brewing a series of bloody incidents. " Zhang Xin braced himself and spoke while gritting his teeth. He was betting right now. Zhang Xin's mind was not simple at all, he knew that when Liang Xing had captured Wu Yu, he had not finished killing nearly twenty ministers with his Sanshui Army, but once he investigated more, the ministers in the imperial court would not be able to leave, and would be implicated, including him. Tang Yin would also definitely investigate this matter, and would take this opportunity to get rid of the Minister of Imperial Court, and replace it with her own trusted aides.
If he wanted to escape from this situation and not be implicated, he could only express his goodwill to Tang Yin and give his all to help Tang Yin achieve his wish. This way, he might have a chance of survival, and even the possibility of preserving his position.
Hearing that, everyone's reactions were different, Liang Qi's heart immediately tensed up, and his throat rose. Tang Yin was actually interested, he was Liang Xing's trusted aide, so Zhang Xin naturally knew better than anyone what Liang Xing had done. If he was willing to stand on his side to provide evidence or make a confession, then moving to a Minister of Imperial Court like Liang Xing would be a piece of cake.
Tang Yin squinted his eyes, looking at Zhang Xin with eyes as fast as lightning, trying to figure out his true intentions. After pausing for a moment, he said faintly: "According to what I know, Master Zhang and Prime Minister Liang have a good relationship, ah …"
He purposely did not finish his words and just let Zhang Xin go pick it up. Zhang Xin's body trembled, and he immediately said: "In front of the King, this humble subject does not dare seek for personal relations, much less hide anything from you. If there is anything that is detrimental to the King or the Imperial Court, this humble subject must report it to the King!"
Hehe! Tang Yin snickered in his heart, nodded, and said: "Master Zhang is truly loyal to me! If what you say is true and you can give the appropriate evidence, I will reward you heavily. " After pausing for a moment, he turned his head and said: "Cheng Jin."
"Subordinate... This official is here! "
Hearing Tang Yin's summons, Cheng Jin immediately walked out from the Tianyuan Army crowd. Tang Yin laughed and said to Zhang Xin: "If Master Zhang has anything to report, feel free to explain it to General Cheng. General Cheng will naturally investigate this matter."
Cheng Jin's position was not that high, it was only equivalent to the rank of Regiment Commander, but Zhang Xin knew clearly that Cheng Jin's identity was not simple, he was the person in charge of the Dark Arrow, and the Dark Arrow was the most important spy organization around Tang Yin's body. Since Tang Yin had arranged for Cheng Jin to personally step in, it could be seen how much importance he placed on the matter.
He swallowed his saliva and said: "This humble subject will definitely do his best to assist General Cheng Jin!"
Tang Yin nodded his head, and said: "All of you go and investigate this matter, this matter is related to the lives of the tens of officials, you must thoroughly investigate this matter, you cannot let a 'fish out of the net' exist, understand what I mean?"
How could Zhang Xin not hear the hidden meaning behind Tang Yin's words? He wanted to drag the entire imperial court down with him. Zhang Xin's eyes turned, and he said: "Reporting to my king, this humble subject will do his best to accomplish it, however, this humble subject has also been at fault in this matter, my king …"
Tang Yin was amused, and said leisurely: "Since Master Zhang is willing to make amends, this king can let bygones be bygones."
"Thank you, my lord!" This humble subject thanks the King for his grace! " This was what Zhang Xin wanted to hear. As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Zhang Xin started to kowtow.
Qiu Zhen and the others who were watching from the side secretly laughed in their hearts. This was the dignified Finance Minister, from a first rank official, to the moment, he was like a pitiful pug in front of the Lord.
