Boom, a thunder exploded from the palace, and Tie Mo was actually named the King of Jin. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have seen people who have been granted the title of Duke, but I have never seen anyone who was granted the title of King. The important thing is that this king is not an ordinary vassal king, he is in charge of the court.
Regarding matters large and small, the most egregious thing is that the military power in his hands is real. Is it possible that His Majesty and Tie Mo are of the same mind?
Of course, Cheng Jiming is very old-fashioned, and he understood the emperor's intention in an instant. Now he has named you the king of a different surname. If you do anything rebellious and disobedient in the future, the people in the world will say that he is cold-blooded and ruthless.
After warming up Tiren, Li Jiucheng also stood up. He raised his thick eyebrows and shouted, "The Iron Supervisor is a rare talent that our Ming Dynasty has never seen in a hundred years. He is an upright man in his prime. Mr. Li will serve as the Iron Supervisor. If it were someone else, Han
Make sure the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out."
Hiss, you are indeed a rough man on the battlefield. Some people are cursing in their hearts. You, Li Jiuzheng, are known as a big tiger in northern Shanxi, but you are an old official of the Moon Palace. Of course you are looking forward to Tie Mo taking over, but you don't have to be so obvious.
Well. Some people wanted to refute loudly. Li Jiucheng narrowed his eyes. In an instant, more than a dozen strong men turned their heads. These people stared at the ministers with eager eyes, so the ministers were all silent.
Everyone finally understood that His Majesty rewarded the king with a different surname, and Tie Mo really followed. At this time, if anyone said no, he would be dead on the street in less than two days. These rough guys who came from the battlefield,
But he won't talk so much. Now Hou Shilu is on Tie Mo's side. After this reward, there will definitely be many generals from the Northern Shan Dynasty who will fill the Ministry of War. From now on, Tie Mo will have the final say in the Ministry of War.
In the past, although the Northern Shan army was strong, it was far away, so everyone might not be really afraid. But this time, I was very afraid. Cheng Ji touched the cold sweat on his forehead without any trace. He had no doubt about the ruthlessness of these people.
Jin, whoever wants to give Tie Mo eye drops at this time will definitely let him go to the Palace of Hell to drink tea. However, Cheng Jiming and others are very dissatisfied. These people are so unreasonable.
Tie Mo coughed, waved his hands and pretended to be angry, "General Li, what are you doing? These are all my subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not Jurchen barbarians. I believe that there are no traitors in the palace who want to make people withdraw from the party.
Go down."
Well, Li Jiucheng is still a naked threat, but what Iron Governor said is even more shameless. It is clear that I am not afraid of your opposition. Whoever opposes you is a rebel party that brings trouble to the Ming Dynasty, because this reward was given by His Majesty himself.
How could His Majesty's imperial decree lie? Under such circumstances, who dares to object, unless it is to risk one's life, then the next thing will be simple, and all the ministers will pay tribute together.
As for Emperor Zhu Youjian, he always had a smile on his face. This is to turn Tie Mo into an enemy of all civil and military officials. Don't you want to fight for the power of the Ministry of War? He will fight with the Sixth Ministry.
Similarly, Tie Mo was also laughing in his heart. It was no problem to use a king with a different surname to suppress him. From the beginning to the end, he, Tie Mo, never thought about being the emperor of Lao Shizi. There were no disadvantages as long as there were advantages and disadvantages to having a king with a different surname.
.With this king title, he can create a mansion and become a vassal. He is not one of those castrated vassal kings. He has soldiers, power and money. When the time comes, he can gather talents to serve him, and that is justifiable.
In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to do something, it is really important to be honest. Just like Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of Daming Prefecture, why is he lukewarm towards someone he supports? Isn’t it because he supports someone and respects his own troops, which is disobedient?
Xin. Now that you are well, your Majesty has conferred a different surname on the king. What else do you have to say?
Tie Mo thought to himself, they are a bunch of people who don't know how to praise me. I have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and now I have a large army and control the government. So what if I am a king with a different surname? Isn't it just a title? It has to be more serious. I simply don't know.
Life or death.
After waiting for the ministers to finish the ceremony, Zhu Youjian stretched out his hands to signal everyone to quiet down. At this moment, everyone understood that Tie Mo had got what he wanted, and it was time to grant the title to the old civil and military ministers of northern Shanxi.
, Otherwise, these guys from the Northern Shanxi Party will definitely cause trouble. They cannot let their blood be shed in vain, and Your Majesty must also show something.
Sure enough, the first thing Zhu Youjian did was to confer Chen Zilong as a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, Wang Zuogao as a bachelor of Yinghua Palace, and Li Jiu became the commander of Hengshan Camp and in charge of a Beijing camp army.
Orger was stationed in Zunhua City and took charge of all military affairs near Zunhua City. Ruifeng Battalion was transferred to the Forbidden City and took up the post of the Forbidden Army. Zhou Dingshan was appointed as the commander in front of the palace and commanded the Forbidden Army.
After all the major and minor affairs were arranged, the ministers discovered that the Northern Shanxi Party had taken control of the military and had also intervened in the financial affairs. Li Jiucheng, in particular, was demanding his own life. This was adding some sand to the Beijing camp. In the future, Tie Mo would still be involved.
It's not that I'll hit whoever I want. As for the palace, there's no need to think about it. Zhou Dingshan is Tie Mo's direct descendant and brother. With him monitoring the palace, no one can do anything wrong.
According to the rules, when the Ming Dynasty conferred a king, he had to go to the City God's Terrace to offer sacrifices. Nowadays, there are many people who are looking forward to the sacrifice, but Tie Mo doesn't want to be slapped in the face by others before he has been officially listed as a king with a different surname.
It is impossible for Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian will be a joke now if he achieves 80% success.
After much thought, Tie Mo decided to order Sha Diao to call Zhao Ding, who was good at investigating cases, to come to the capital. With Zhao Ding's careful supervision, he would feel more at ease.
In early June, as soon as Zhao Ding arrived under Sha Diao, he rode his horse to the City God's Terrace where the sacrificial ceremony was held. The City God's Terrace is located to the north of Ci'en Temple and southwest of Shuntian Mansion. The terrain here is very high and it covers a wide area. It is a good place for the sacrificial ceremony.
. Since the sacrificial ceremony was relatively hasty, various places are still under construction in full swing. When we came to Chenghuang Terrace, there were busy figures everywhere. Seeing this, Zhao Ding couldn't help but frowned. There were too many people.
There are a lot of new things that need to be built, which is not a good phenomenon. There are many people and many things to do, which makes troubleshooting very difficult. It is not easy to find potential dangers here.
However, I knew that there must be a huge danger hidden in it, and it was impossible for those in the cabinet to let the sacrificial ceremony go smoothly.
After getting off his horse, Zhao Ding led several secret hall personnel to shuttle around the Chenghuang Tower. Zhao Ding observed carefully, looking at every building carefully. After a day of observation, the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.
.Generally, for large occasions like this, there are often some architectural modifications, such as the pillars supporting the main hall, the steps under the feet, and the shrines used for sacrifices. However, this sacrificial ceremony is open-air and there is no main hall. This aspect can be removed.
As for the steps, there is no problem. They are very solid and there are no hollows below. There is no possibility of hidden traps. There is no problem with the shrine. After inspection, everything is normal, which makes Zhao Ding scratch his head anxiously.
, how could there be no problem?
Could it be that the other party didn't do anything at the City God's Tower, but wanted to send assassins to assassinate him? Thinking of this, you immediately shook his head. It's absolutely impossible. As long as he is not a fool, he will not think of assassinating the governor and the Northern Shanxi Army.
The whole city was under martial law, and all the master spies were present that day to escort the Superintendent on the stage. In this case, unless the heavenly soldiers and generals came down to earth, they would never be able to harm the Superintendent at all.
No, the problem must be in the Chenghuang Terrace. At this time, every part of the Chenghuang Terrace is under renovation. It is a good time to take action. But why can't the problem be found? Zhao Ding did not return to the city, but stayed in the Chenghuang Terrace.
It has been his habit for many years. If he does not find out the clues, he will never leave. Walking on the Chenghuang Platform, thinking about every possible corner, suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. If the other party wanted to take action, first of all
What we need to do is to understand the details of the entire reconstruction of Chenghuangtai. To understand this, we can only start from the officials responsible for the reconstruction of Chenghuangtai.
When he thought of this, Zhao Ding became excited. He took out the token of the Governor's Mansion that Sha Diao had given him before, and summoned an expert from the Intelligence Department to tell him, "Take my token and go to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible to get the person in charge of the reconstruction of Chenghuang Terrace."
Obtain the list of officials and bring them all, and I will interrogate them personally."
The warrior took the order and hurried away. In the middle of the night, all the officials from the Ministry of Industry were picked up from the bed, but they did not dare to say anything. This was an order from His Highness King Jin to cooperate with the investigation. Who would be so heartless as to dare?
complain.
A total of three officials responsible for the reconstruction of Chenghuangtai came to Chenghuangtai in the middle of the night. After meeting, Zhao Ding stared at the three officials for a while. After finding that there was nothing unusual about their expressions, he handed over his hands and said, "I have been ordered by King Jin to investigate.
Check for dangers to ensure the smooth progress of the sacrificial ceremony. If I have offended anyone, I hope you will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The three officials from the Ministry of Industry all breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was the reason. In fact, these people were quite willing to cooperate, because if something happened to the City God's Platform on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, the three of them were responsible for rebuilding the City God.
Officials in Taiwan can't run away, and it will be better if they don't be executed by everyone. So even if it's for themselves, they won't hide anything.
Zhao Ding found three Ministry of Industry officials and tried his best to find out the crisis hidden in the dark. Can he find clues in these Ministry of Industry officials? Or did he look in the wrong direction?
Their lives and fortunes were at stake, so the three Ministry of Industry officials were very cooperative. Lei Wenyuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, shook his large sleeves, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, I don't know what you want to know, but it doesn't matter if you say it, I'll find out later.
Say nothing."
The three people were so knowledgeable, which allowed Zhao Ding to waste a lot of time. After asking the three of them to sit down, he frowned and asked in a low voice, "My lords, the drawings of the Chenghuang Tower should be in the hands of you, I don't know.
Have any accidents happened to this drawing recently?" What Zhao Ding asked was the drawing. If someone wants to tamper with the Chenghuang Terrace, they absolutely cannot do without the drawing. As long as there is a problem with the drawing, if you follow the clues, you may not be able to find out.
the truth?
The three officials all nodded, and the drawings for the reconstruction of the City God's Platform were in their hands. Since it involved a sacrificial ceremony and was a big deal, the drawings for the reconstruction of the City God's Platform were kept very strictly. There are two copies of the drawings, one of which is stored in the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of Works handed it over to the King of Jin for review, and a copy was carried by Lei Wenyuan, the Minister of Works. When they learned that Zhao Ding wanted to know about the drawings, the two heads of the Ministry of Works all looked at Lei Wenyuan, the Minister of Works, and somehow
, Lei Wenyuan only felt that there were millions of pairs of eyes staring at him, and he was under great pressure.
In June, even at night, it was a little warm, but Lei Wenyuan felt a chill down his spine, because Zhao Ding's eyes were so sharp, and he had to think of how to say it. If he said the wrong word, Zhao Ding would
You won't be polite. Although Zhao Ding is not well-known, his methods of investigating crimes are still very powerful. It seems that none of the people he targets have a good ending.
Lei Wenyuan thought hard, but couldn't think of anything unusual, so he had to say, "Sir Zhao, I have always carried the construction drawings with me. I have never seen them with outsiders, and nothing unusual has happened recently."
"Really not?" Zhao Ding frowned, obviously not believing it. To understand everything about Chenghuang Terrace, is there any better way than to start from the transformation drawings? Zhao Ding's eyes were sharp, and he seemed to want to take Lei Wen
As if the abyss was piercing through, Lei Wenyuan raised his hands at this time, and his heart was agitated. He didn't know why Zhao Ding was so sure that there was something wrong with the drawing. It was simply unreasonable.
Zhao Ding said nothing, and gradually a sneer appeared on his lips. Suddenly, he slapped the table with his right hand and shouted loudly, "You three are so bold. You still want to deceive me at this time. I recently came from the city."
I found a plan for the reconstruction of Chenghuang Tower, does it have nothing to do with you at all?"
Zhao Ding roared so frightened that all three of them fell to their knees. Lei Wenyuan didn't know if Zhao Ding was telling the truth. When he heard that he had found the reconstruction plan of Chenghuang Tower elsewhere, he was so frightened that he suddenly felt like he was born.
The two Buddhas ascended to heaven, kowtowed in mourning and said, "Master Zhao, we are really unjust. The reconstruction plan of the City God's Terrace has always been carried by Xiaguan. Except for the three of us, no one else has ever seen it and has never lost it. How could it be lost?"
It's outside...no..."
Speaking of this, Lei Wenyuan seemed to have remembered something. He pointed at Cao Liang, the director of the Ministry of Industry on the right, and said angrily, "It's you. It turns out to be you, Cao Liang. A few days ago, you made Lei Mou drink. Did you take advantage of Lei?"
When I was slightly drunk, I copied a copy!"
When Lei Wenyuan bit him like this, Cao Liang shook his beard and glared angrily, "Shilang Lei, how could you accuse me so unjustly? I saw that I had been working hard for many days, so I wanted to invite you to drink and relax. How could this happen?"
Lei Mou plotted the drawings, and his kindness was really not rewarded! If you say so, the biggest problem should be Chief Wang. Chief Wang studies the drawings most carefully every time. It is not surprising to write down every bit of this.
It’s so easy to go home and copy a copy.”
Wang Yan, the director of the Ministry of Industry on the left, was kneeling on the ground very honestly. When Cao Liang said this, he immediately raised his head and said angrily, "Cao Liang, you are talking nonsense. I am here to check to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the City God's Tower."
, what is your motive in accusing me like this, humph, don’t think that if you overthrow me, the position of Minister Xu will be yours."
