The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

Shen Ying had already decided in her heart that she would fight the Tatars, but she did not expect that two days later, the envoys of the Tatars would bring their khan's handwritten letter to Beijing to ask to see Emperor Daying.

Shen Ying met the Tatar envoys when he was in court, and the envoys explained to Shen Ying that his purpose of coming to Daying this time was to ask for a Daying princess for their khan, as long as Daying Willing to send a princess to make a marriage, the Tatar Khan promised that the two countries could repair Qin and Jin for 20 years.

Before Shen Ying had time to make a statement, she heard a loud voice from below: "Congratulations, old minister, Your Majesty!"

Shen Ying's eyes passed through the bead hanging from the crown, and looked down. The person who spoke was Guo Jiuchen.

"Guo Daban, why do I like it?"

Guo Jiuchen said: "The Tatars are frightened by our Chaotianwei, so they sent envoys to ask for peace. If they can get married with the Tatars, it will save our Daying border from war for 20 years. It is not only a blessing for the people on the border, but also The emperor's benevolence is evident, it is really a good story, so I congratulate the emperor."

Shen Ying sneered silently, "I haven't agreed yet, but Guo Daban is the first to act for me."

Guo Jiuchen hurriedly saluted and said: "The old minister dare not! It's just that the old minister doesn't understand that this matter should be beneficial to me and has no harm. Why doesn't the emperor allow it? Does the emperor have to go to war and start a war?"

"There are all kinds of benefits but no harm?" Shen Ying said coldly, "I have no heirs, and the only unmarried princess is the only Princess Changping born by Concubine Chen, but Princess Changping is only sixteen years old. Tatar Khan is over fifty years old, if Princess Changping marries into Tatar, her whole life will be ruined, wouldn't that hurt her?"

Guo Jiuchen said eloquently: "Back to the emperor, I thought that Princess Changping, as Princess Daying, should bear the responsibility of being a princess since she is supported by the people of the world. If she sacrificed alone, the people on the border could be spared 20 years I believe that this is a supreme merit, and Princess Changping must understand the emperor's decision."

Shen Ying stood up against the table, the bead on his forehead shook and hit, blocking his cold eyebrows, "What a support from the world! Sending a concubine to settle down in the country, where in the world can I use a general? Princess Changping is supported by the people. Well, then, if I raise you civil and military officials, you are raising a bunch of trash, right? Using a woman as a shield, you are really heroes!"

All the officials immediately knelt down on the ground in unison, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Only Guo Jiuchen still stood tall, calm and calm, standing in front of the ministers without kneeling.

Seeing this, the Tatar envoy was very displeased. He had heard that the little emperor of Daying was just a puppet emperor with no real power in his hands, so he didn't pay attention to Shen Ying, and said dissatisfiedly: " Your Majesty, our Khan sincerely begged to marry Princess Daying, and the Emperor refused to agree. Could it be that he wanted to despise our Khan? Even so, our Mongolian cavalry are not vegetarians. Let’s see who will regret it then. Already!"

A loyal and upright official was outraged when he heard the words, and snapped at the envoy, saying, "Presumptuous! I have a large army of millions, and my soldiers are strong, how can I be threatened by barbarians like you!"

After listening to the envoy's words, Shen Ying did not get angry. She waved her hand to signal the courtiers to back down. Seeing the envoy sneered, she said slowly, "In the sixth year of Taizong Xianlong, the Mongolian mission came to Beijing with 50 people. All those who came to the court were rewarded, and the total value of the rewards far exceeded the value of the tribute brought by the Mongolian mission. In the 16th year of Xianlong, the number of Mongolian missions increased to more than 2000 people. In [-], the number of your missions increased to [-]! In addition, the Mongolian tribes used various excuses to ask for rewards from our court every year. If there was a slight failure, they sent troops to the border to harass you. Our court has always been Treat each other with respect and courtesy, but what about you? You are taking Da Ying as a fool! If I marry the princess today, you will only think that Da Ying is cowardly and deceitful, and I will only demand more in the future. Am I right?"

After Shen Ying finished speaking, the officials below were also discussing a lot, and from time to time there were voices scolding the Tatars for being shameless. The Tatar envoys blushed a little when they heard it, but they still insisted: "Thanks to you, you should return it to the heavenly court." Shangguo claims to be so narrow-minded, but it’s just some property, and you gave it to us in order to pretend to be benevolent, don’t give it if you can’t afford it, and the majestic king of a country is turning over old scores.”

An old official stopped angrily, pointed at the envoy's nose and cursed: "How dare you insult my King Daying! You greedy people are not worthy to stand in the court of Daying, Your Majesty, please do it!" Severely punish this thief!"

Shen Ying waved her hand indifferently, "It's okay, what he said is not completely wrong." Then she sneered, and said in a deep voice, "It is true that my government policy was too lenient and preferential to you Mongolia, but from now on, you Mongolia don't Trying to suck Daying's blood again! Today, because you are an envoy, I don't care about you. You take my words back and tell you Khan that he wants to marry Princess Daying. It's a dream! Come on, take this The Tatar envoy is expelled from the palace, and he will never be allowed to step into the territory of Daying again!"

Immediately, guards came in and dragged the Tatar envoys out. The hall gradually became quiet, and the officials looked at each other below. They did not expect that the little emperor who was despised by them in the past had such strong wrists now. The style of killing and decisiveness of Taizu and Taizong back then.

Some military generals who had dealt with the Mongols in northern Xinjiang were even more excited. They used to hinder the imperial court's appeasement policy towards Mongolia. Listening to the emperor's refutation of the Tatar envoys just now, I was really relieved. Yes, those Mongolian Tartars should be beaten up so that they will be honest!

"Your Majesty, you expelled the Tatar envoy. I'm afraid the Tatars won't let it go when they find out." Guo Jiuchen sighed pretendingly, accusing the Emperor of acting on his will, "Your Majesty, you were acting arrogant for a while. What should we do if the Tatars become angry and send their troops south? The money in the treasury can’t support a long-term battle.”

The Minister of the Ministry of Households hurriedly responded: "Master Guo's words are true. The money in the treasury is only enough to maintain the daily expenses of the court. It also has to take care of disaster relief in the northwest, repair the Yellow River dam, and build the imperial mausoleum. There can be no more increases in military pay.”

"If you really don't have money, then don't build the imperial mausoleum." Shen Ying sat down on the dragon chair, and said lightly, "If you can't stabilize the frontier and make Mongolia surrender, what good is the imperial mausoleum built? Wait until the Mongolian cavalry Now that they have reached the capital, will they still keep Daying’s imperial tomb intact for worship on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year?”

Hundreds of officials exchanged glances again in twos and threes. The emperors of all dynasties regarded the construction of the imperial tomb as the most important thing. Usually, they began to choose a site for construction since they ascended the throne. The emperor was actually willing to suspend the construction of the imperial tomb. He is determined to go to war with Mongolia!

In fact, Shen Ying didn't want to fight the Tatars blindly. He knew the military strength of Daying. Although the government was controlled by the Queen Mother and Guo Jiuchen, the army was not completely under their control. People who are good at fighting, such as Lin Zhenyue, the general of Dingbei, and King Pingyang who guards the southern border, etc., and most of the generals have had enough of the Mongolian bird spirit, and most of them are the main fighters.

And there are also many civil strife in the Mongolian tribes. Taking advantage of Daying's current strength, if there is no military deterrence at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make them surrender after the unification of the Mongolian tribes becomes a climate.

Throughout the dynasties, the nomadic regimes in the north who were good at riding and shooting were the confidants of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Shen Ying didn't want to be like the second Huiqin sect of the Northern Song Dynasty or the Ming Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. If Mongolia was allowed to ride on his head, then what he did as an emperor would be meaningless.

Shen Ying propped her hands on the imperial case, stood up slowly, glanced coldly at the civil and military officials below, and said with a deep voice, "Listen to me, as long as I'm in power for a day, you should be there." Never pay compensation, don’t cede land, don’t pay tribute, don’t, reconcile, kiss! In the future, if there is another person who proposes to make peace, he will be punished as treason! Retire from the court!”

All the ministers said in unison: "The ministers are waiting to send you off to the Holy One!"

Not long after he retired from the court, the news that the emperor was playing a big role in the court today spread throughout the front and rear palaces.

In Beizhen Fusi, it was Gu Min's turn to be on duty today. After hearing the news from the palace, the subordinates vividly told Gu Min how the emperor angrily scolded the Tatar envoy when he was in court. of.

Gu Min put down the file in his hand, "No indemnity, no cession of land, no tribute, no marriage... really did the emperor say that?"

Jin Yiwei said: "Yes, the original words, I heard that several elders turned their heads and their eyes were red, saying that the emperor has the style of Emperor Taizong."

Indeed, "no indemnity, no cession of land, no tribute, no kinship" are as simple as twelve words, and each word is worth a thousand gold. From ancient times to the present, few emperors have the courage to say it.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly cynical emperor had such a grand concept of governing the country in his heart.

The eldest princess Changping is just an unfavored concubine daughter of Emperor Gaozong. Although the emperor and her are called brother and sister, they don't actually have much brotherhood. If it were someone else, they could sacrifice a woman in exchange for the frontier Taiping, I am afraid that he has already agreed to the Tatars' marriage proposal, but the emperor refused.

This kind of boldness and courage, Gu Min asked himself, he felt that he was not as good as Shen Ying.

Gu Min pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked his subordinates: "Where is the Tatar envoy now?"

Jin Yiwei said: "He was kicked out of the palace by the imperial guards in the palace, and the emperor ordered him to leave the capital within three days."

Gu Min said: "Go and help me find his person, persuade him to stay in Beijing for another three days, and say that Mr. Guo knew that he had been wronged this time, and that the emperor was young and vigorous, and that his refusal to marry was just a whim. Tatar and Daying have always been on good terms, so there shouldn't be any quarrel over such a trivial matter, and the factory association will persuade the emperor to let him stay calm."

Gu Min is now a celebrity around Guo Jiuchen, and Guo Jiuchen relies heavily on him. Jin Yiwei didn't question his words, and didn't ask him why he did this, so he readily agreed and went out to find the Tatar envoy.

—

Shen Ying's prestige did not last long, and not long after she came down to court, Shou'an Palace sent someone over to say that the Queen Mother wanted to see the emperor.

Shen Ying took off her court clothes, changed into ordinary clothes, and drove to Shou'an Palace.

Walking to the gate of Shou'an Palace, before getting off the imperial chariot, I saw a girl in palace attire coming out of Shou'an Palace with two little maids.

After seeing Shen Ying, the girl bowed respectfully, "Changping pays respects to Brother Emperor."

Shen Ying waved her hand to signal the eunuch carrying the chariot to get off the sedan chair, then got up and got off the chariot, "Excuse me, so it's Changping."

Before Shen Ying, she had only seen Princess Changping, the cheap little sister, from a distance twice at the royal family banquet, and even her appearance was a little blurry in her memory, and she could only see her face clearly when she got closer today.

The girl has a beautiful appearance and a delicate figure.Small and slender, although she is an expensive princess, her clothes are very simple. She is wearing a pink skirt, which should be old clothes. .

For an unfavored eldest princess, it is conceivable that her life in this deep palace must be very difficult. Although she is an emperor's daughter, her life may not be as good as that of a eunuch and maid who is favored by the empress dowager.

Shen Ying remembered what Guo Jiuchen said in the morning when she went to court, "Princess Changping, as Princess Daying, since she is supported by the world, she should assume the responsibility of being a princess." Now that I think about it, it is ridiculous.

Guo Jiuchen didn't know that the status of a princess had never brought Changping the honor she deserved, and life in the palace had never treated her kindly for a day, so why should she ask a weak woman to sacrifice her ego and fulfill her ego?

It's just a high-sounding excuse for those in power to justify their cowardice and incompetence.

Shen Ying was in a trance, but Chang Ping suddenly knelt down to Shen Ying at this moment, Shen Ying reacted and quickly stepped forward to help her up, "Why do you do such a big gift?"

"Changping thank you, Brother Huang." Changping raised his head and looked at Shen Ying gratefully, "Brother Xie Huang for protecting Changping, Changping will always remember it in his heart forever."

"So it's because of this." Shen Ying smiled calmly, "You don't have to worry about it, it's not all because of you, my emperor's position does not need to be fulfilled by sacrificing a woman's happiness, this is my bottom line. By the way, what are you doing in Shouan Palace?"

Changping lowered his eyes and said sadly: "The Empress Dowager told Changping to come here...to let my younger sister recommend herself to go to Mongolia for marriage."

Shen Ying looked up at the plaque hanging on the gate of Shouan Palace, her face darkened, she smiled shortly, patted Changping on the shoulder to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, I will never let you Go and kiss."

Changping raised his eyes, his dark almond eyes were full of tears, he looked at Shen Ying and said solemnly: "Changping only hates that he is not a man, otherwise even if he is a pawn, at least he will not be as weak and incompetent as he is now, at least he can serve for you." Brother Huang, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"

Shen Ying smiled brightly, "As a man, you can fight the enemy, but a princess is also a princess, so don't underestimate yourself. Well, you go back first, I have to go in to see the Queen Mother."

Chang Ping retired politely, looked back at Shen Ying's back, frowned thoughtfully, the value of the princess?She is an unfavored concubine princess who can't even control her own destiny, so what is her value?

When Shen Ying entered Shou'an Palace, the Empress Dowager really had a serious face, and she didn't give him a good look.

After the greeting, Shen Ying went straight to the point and said: "Just now, I saw Changping outside the gate of Shou'an Palace. She asked me to go to Mongolia to get married. May I ask if this is what you mean by the Queen Mother?"

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, neither admitting nor denying, "Since Changping knows the general idea and invited her to make a marriage, why didn't the Emperor allow her? Does the Emperor know how much manpower and financial resources will be wasted in a war? How can it be child's play!"

"Of course I know, but this battle must be fought." Shen Ying argued, "Now the Tatar Khan is not a hereditary khan. We can't beat them when they are fighting among themselves, and it will be difficult to subdue them when the Mongolian tribes are united to form a climate."

The queen mother sneered, "What the emperor said is too idealistic. May I ask, where does the military salary come from if we want to fight? Don't you know that the treasury is empty now? What do you use to fight?"

Shen Ying calmly said: "If it's just for the military salary, it's not a big problem, I have my own way to raise it."

The queen mother slapped the table, and the teacups on the table shook, "The emperor is really arrogant! How did you raise millions of taels of silver? Could it be that you are going to sell the palace?"

Shen Ying said indifferently: "It's just such a small matter, it's nowhere to sell the house."

The queen mother laughed angrily, but her face was livid, "As an emperor, you act so perversely and arrogantly, okay, since you are so confident, the Ai family will give you three days to raise the military salary. The family wants to see how you explain to civil and military officials!"

—

The news that the emperor boasted to Haikou to raise military pay in Shouan Palace immediately spread like wildfire in the palace, but even the king of An Jun outside the palace heard about it during lunch.

King An Jun immediately entered the palace. After seeing Shen Ying, he pointed to a cloud in the sky with a worried face and asked, "Zhaoxi, do you think that cloud looks like a cow? Do you think someone put it on?" Blow it to the sky?"

Shen Ying sat cross-legged on a low couch, with a Go board in front of her, she was so bored that she played backgammon with herself, without panicking at all.

Shen Ying lazily raised her eyelids and glanced at King An, and said with a sneer, "I think you look like a cow, but you are still a stupid cow."

"I'm stupid?" Prince An uttered a fart.Sitting down, he said unconvinced, "No matter how stupid I am, I won't brag that I can raise several million taels of military pay in three days!"

Shen Ying said calmly, "Who said it was several million taels of silver? I didn't say anything."

King An Jun said: "It's so rumored outside! It is said that you made a bet with the Queen Mother that you will have to pay the army to fight the Mongolian Tartars within three days. Isn't it true?"

Shen Ying rolled her eyelids, "I don't know what people say, I don't know what it means. I only talked about raising the military salary, but I didn't say how much."

King An was silent for a while, and looked at Shen Ying's expression, he was even more speechless, "Do you want to take 100 taels of silver to beat the Tatars?"

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows, as if thinking for a while, "I'm afraid 100 taels of silver is still a bit short."

King An Jun: "..." He waved his hands unbearably, reached into his sleeve and took out a thick stack of bank notes, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, these are what my family can produce All the cash, you take it first, there are still two days, and I will bring it to you after I pawn the antique calligraphy and paintings."

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this, and stared at King An, "Wow, Shen Han, you really make me look at you with admiration! You are so righteous!"

Prince An tilted his head and raised his chin proudly, "This king is also the king of Daying after all. If Daying wants to fight the Mongolian Tartars, then this king can't just sit idly by." After being proud, he collapsed again. Face, "But this little money is just a drop in the bucket for the military salary."

Shen Ying smiled, and pushed the bank note back to him: "Okay, take the money back, don't pawn things, I don't need it. Don't worry, I will naturally have a way to raise money."

King An Jun was dubious: "Is it true?"

Shen Ying: "Why did you lie to me? You are not joking."

Seeing that Shen Ying looked confident, King An felt relieved for the time being. After drinking his saliva, he forgot how worried he was when he first arrived. He turned around and began to scold the Tatars for their shameless greed. The Tatars had revenge against him for killing his father, and Shen Ying thought he was noisy, so he drove King An out of the palace.

Before the ears were quiet for a long time, the little eunuch came to report again, saying that Gu Shaojun asked to see him.

Well, I guess they came to care about how he raised the money again. In the morning, it was Xie Yu and Liu Xie. Just now it was King An, and now it's Gu Min's turn.

Shen Ying supported her head boredly, waved her hand, "Send him to come in."

After Gu Min came in to salute, Shen Ying straightened her crossed legs, stretched herself and stood up from the couch, "Are you also here to see if I'm crazy?"

Gu Min smiled lightly and said, "Why did the emperor say that?"

Shen Ying stared at him and said with a smile: "If you have no money, you still have to fight. If you are not crazy, what is it?"

Gu Min said: "I believe that the emperor must have a countermeasure in mind."

Shen Ying made a "tsk" sound, and asked suspiciously: "You think differently from everyone else, you don't mean to say that on purpose to make me happy, right?"

Gu Min said sincerely: "I dare not lie to the emperor."

Shen Ying nodded her head to express her belief, "Why did you come to me?"

Gu Min: "I want to report to the emperor that the Tatar envoy has not yet left the capital, but Guo Daban left him behind."

"He will be a good person, but it's good to stay, so that I don't have to look back for him." Shen Ying sneered, and looked up at Gu Min jokingly, "The news you brought to me is good. Thank you very much, is there anything you want?"

Gu Min thought for a moment, his eyes fell on the jade belt around the emperor's waist, and he pointed down, "The sachet on the emperor's body is quite unique, why don't you give it to the minister?"

"Sachet?" Shen Ying looked down, and Gu Min happened to be referring to the sachet given to him by Ling Qingheng, because after wearing the sachet given by Ling Qingheng, the mosquitoes were indeed not close to him, and the smell was quite fresh. Smell, so Shen Ying has been wearing it on her body for the past few days.

No, Gu Min didn't want so many good things in Yongle Palace, why did he just settle for an old sachet?

Shen Ying frowned, feeling something was wrong, could this be some kind of connection between the protagonist's attack and the subject?

Shen Ying covered the sachet with her hands, and resolutely refused, "No."

I won't give you a chance to get in touch with Ling Qingheng, hmph, he just wants to be this big villain who beats mandarin ducks.

Seeing Shen Ying's nervous expression, Gu Min felt even more certain that the sachet was of extraordinary significance to Shen Ying, so he asked stubbornly, "Why not? It's just a sachet, and the emperor is reluctant to give it to his ministers?"

Shen Ying said solemnly: "It's not that I don't want to part with it, but... I'm used to the smell of this sachet. I'm a nostalgic person, you know? I don't want to change things that I'm used to."

"Really?" Gu Min stared deeply into Shen Ying's eyes, with suspicion still in his eyes.

Shen Ying nodded solemnly, "Of course!"

Gu Min suddenly took a step closer to Shen Ying, and asked in a low voice: "Then is the emperor used to the minister? Will he want to replace the minister?"

Hearing this, Shen Ying stared at Gu Min in a daze, frowned, and opened her mouth involuntarily: "???"

The author has something to say: Shen Riyang: I have every reason to suspect that your kid is driving at high speed!
