The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

Shen Ying didn't believe what Gu Min said, that Concubine Feng alone could burn down the entire imperial palace?

Besides, even if a few palaces were burned, there are more than 20 palaces in the palace. How could there be no place to live?

Shen Ying didn't believe in evil, so she decided to go back to the palace to see the situation.

But before Yu Jia arrived at the gate of the palace, Shen Ying saw thick smoke billowing from several places above the palace from a long distance away. It seemed that the fire was not small, which made him feel distressed.

I don't know how capable the firefighting troops of the Great Ying Dynasty are, and whether they can control the fire. If the fire cannot be extinguished, wouldn't it be the same as the fire during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the entire palace would be burned? !

Thinking that it would cost a lot of manpower and money to build the imperial palace in the future, Shen Ying was so distressed that she was twitching. This Concubine Feng is really hateful!If she is crazy alone, she will be crazy, okay, why burn his house down!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Gu Min rode on a horse and stopped beside the imperial chariot, and said to Shen Ying who was sitting in the sedan chair, "The Water Dragon Bureau is already doing its best to put out the fire, but fortunately there is no wind today, so the fire should not spread, but just to be on the safe side, It is better for the emperor not to return to the palace at this time."

Shen Ying lifted the curtain, turned her head to look at Gu Min, caught a trace of the corner of the man's mouth that was too late to retract, snorted coldly, and said, "Why do you think you seem to be gloating when you see the water in the palace?"

Gu Min raised his hand and stroked the stubble on his chin twice, then turned his head to look at Shen Ying and asked sincerely: "Why did the emperor say that? I was obviously very anxious, and I blamed myself for not being vigilant in advance, so I let Feng Taifei wait for the treacherous concubine There is an opportunity to burn the palace."

"Okay, don't play tricks." Shen Ying lowered the curtain, and after a while, asked reluctantly, "Is your place safe?"

Gu Min said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have sent Jin Yiwei to guard the house closely, without the Emperor's permission, absolutely not even a single sparrow will be let in."

Shen Ying asked again: "Is your house big? I usually have people to take care of me in my daily life, including palace maids and eunuchs, cooks and imperial doctors, etc. Can your house accommodate so many people? And how is your family's environment? It’s very picky about where to live.”

Gu Min smiled and said: "Although the minister's mansion is not as luxurious as the palace, it is fairly clean and the population is simple. Except for the servants who take care of the yard, only the minister lives alone, so it should not be a problem to pick him up. .”

There is really nothing to ask, Shen Ying thought about it silently again, and pondered: "Then if I live in your house, will I have the final say on everything?"

Gu Min said solemnly: "That's natural. This house was originally awarded to the minister by the emperor. The emperor is willing to condescend to live in the minister's mansion. It is not a guest, but to return to his own home. You treat the Linyang Marquis Mansion as a place of honor." In the palace, you have the final say on all the big and small matters in the mansion, and there is nothing I can't do!"

After everything was settled, Shen Ying nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the guard of honor: "All right, since the Marquis of Linyang kindly invites you, let's go to the Marquis of Linyang's mansion first, and wait until the fire in the palace is extinguished. Go back to the palace."

The news that the emperor planned to live in Linyanghou's mansion temporarily spread quickly. After hearing the news, all civil and military officials rushed to the gate of Linyanghou's mansion and knelt down to greet the holy driver.

Yu Jia carried it into the gate of Linyang Marquis Mansion, all the officials entered the mansion in line, and met the emperor in the main hall. Shen Yingduan sat at the head, looked at the line of officials below, and found that many familiar faces were missing among the officials who came, so he casually said I called a few names and asked them where they all went.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites stood up, holding a booklet in his hand and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, Du Qianren conspired to rebel and usurp the throne with cruel means. These adults have all been harmed by him because they did not want to join forces with him. The veteran has already listed the time. For the list of officials killed, I invite the emperor to have a look."

Shen Ying took the booklet and browsed it from beginning to end. Among the officials who died, most of them belonged to the Queen Mother Liu's party, and she couldn't help feeling secretly happy.

Although he really wanted to slap his thigh and say "a good death", but in order to show his benevolence, Shen Ying sighed with regret and pretended to say: "It's a pity, it's a pity, these are the mainstays of the imperial court. In the end, he died in the hands of Du Qianren, which is really a great loss to the court, Xie Shangshu—”

The Minister of Rites said: "The old minister is here!"

Shen Ying said sadly: "For me, please comfort the families of these officials who died, and properly bury these upright and loyal people."

These officials are all partisans of Empress Dowager Liu. Shen Ying didn't need to treat their family members kindly. Shen Ying did this, on the one hand, to show the benevolence and righteousness of the monarch, and on the other hand, to remind the survivors of the families of these officials who died. The queen mother can no longer protect them, and only being loyal to him, the emperor, is their only way to survive.

"The imperial court suddenly lost so many pillars of the country, my heart is very painful, but the Du party rebellion has just been put down, and there are many things waiting to be done in the capital, and there are still many things waiting to be taken care of, and the vacant positions cannot be left vacant forever. Now, someone has to stand up for it.” Shen Ying closed the booklet and threw it on the table, glanced at the officials below with piercing phoenix eyes, and began to talk about business, “Zhuqing is also the pillar of Daying, it should be you It's time to pick up the burden..."

Next, Shen Ying named and promoted those ministers he liked to fill the vacant positions. This time, Du Qianren and Empress Dowager Liu's fight not only caused the collapse of the first and second ministers of the cabinet, but also made the positions of six ministers vacant. The positions of Ministers of the Ministry of Household, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Officials were all vacant, but Shen Ying was not in a hurry to decide the candidates for these three ministers now, but ordered the servants below to be temporarily in charge of the ministers.

The Shangshu has great power, and he has to slowly examine suitable candidates and place his confidants in the position of Shangshu, so that he can control all the six ministries and the cabinet in his own hands.

When all the vacancies were arranged, there was no mournful atmosphere in the hall for colleagues who had just died. Most of the ministers couldn't hold back the joy of being promoted. For a while, the air was full of joy.

After arranging the vacancies in each department, it was time to reward meritorious deeds.

Gu Min and Lin Zhenyue deserved the most credit for suppressing the rebellion this time, and these two were naturally reserved for the last award.

Shen Ying first named Lin Zhenyue the Great General of Dragon and Tiger, and his title was promoted from Gu'an Bo to Gu'an Marquis, and he also rewarded Lin Fan and other generals of the Lin family. Dasheng, even among generals, can be said to be unrivaled.

Although Shen Ying does not doubt the loyalty of the Lin family to her now, since ancient times, no emperor would want to see a scene where the power in the court is dominated by one person. Two-phase check and balance is the emperor's art. After all, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future .

And the only thing that can be used to check and balance the Lin family is Gu Min, who seems to be loyal to him at present.

Shen Ying, taking advantage of the time when the Lin family was about to kowtow to thank him, sized up Gu Min who was standing under his left hand. Gu Min is now a marquis, and the next level up from a marquis is a duke. In the future, it will be too eye-catching in the court, and it is not a good thing for a big tree to attract the wind.

However, sometimes who has more power does not depend on the rank of the official, but also depends on who is more favored by those in power.

So after Lin Zhenyue and the others got up, Shen Ying cleared her throat, looked at Gu Min and raised her voice, "Marquis of Linyang, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Gu Min listens!"

Gu Min raised the hem of his clothes and knelt down, "The minister is here!"

Shen Yingdao: "Promote you to be the commander of the third-rank Jinyiwei, in charge of the Jinyiwei, and the Imperial Prison. You will also be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold..."

After hearing Shen Ying's words, the ministers thought that there would be other rewards in the future. After waiting for a while, the emperor didn't continue to say anything, and they suddenly realized that the emperor's rewards for Gu Min were only so much!

Everyone couldn't help but feel unfair for Gu Min. He was originally the commander of the Jinyiwei, but he was promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei, but he was only half a level up. He made such a great contribution to get such a small reward. Compared with the Lin family, the emperor is too unfair. What's more, even if the official position is not promoted, at least he will be promoted to a position or something, so what's the matter with only a little gold and silver?

But Gu Min didn't seem to feel aggrieved at all, and kowtowed to thank him without hesitation, "I thank the Lord Long En!"

Seeing that there was no expression of dissatisfaction on his face, Shen Ying nodded happily and said, "Get up."

Shen Ying glanced at the sky outside the door, it was completely dark, she stood up and said: "Today's discussion is here for the time being, the palace is on fire, the palace is burned, and I will be staying at the Linyang Marquis's mansion for the time being in the morning. If I can't get on, the managers of the six ministries and nine ministers will come here to see me every day, and anyone else who has something urgent to ask for help will also come here. Well, let's all step down first, and go down and finish their respective errands , don't let me down."

All the ministers shouted Zunzhi in unison and were about to leave when Lin Zhenyue suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask the Emperor to decide."

Shen Ying waved his sleeves and said, "Quick play."

Lin Zhenyue said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is still in the Yulong Mountain Palace. Now that the rebellion in Beijing has been put down, how dare I ask the Emperor when he plans to welcome the Empress Dowager back to Beijing?"

Shen Ying rubbed her forehead, yes, she almost forgot about Empress Dowager Liu, the rebellion was not initiated by Empress Dowager Liu, so Empress Dowager Liu is naturally still Da Ying's Empress Dowager, Da Ying governs the world with benevolence and filial piety, and he is also To welcome Empress Dowager Liu, the titular aunt, back to Beijing.

However, the situation in the capital is not completely stable now. If Empress Dowager Liu comes back now, she will definitely sing against him, so she has to find a way to prevent Empress Dowager Liu from returning to the palace, and at the same time block the mouths of people all over the world.

Shen Ying was silent for a moment, and came up with a plan. She didn't expect that Concubine Feng's fire would help him a lot, so she smiled and said: "Don't worry, didn't I just say that the palace is on fire, and there are no people in it for the time being. , the empress dowager, the concubine, the eldest princess and others can only live outside the palace like me when they come back, but they are all female relatives after all, it is inconvenient to live outside the palace, why not let the dowager live in the palace for a while, and wait until When the palace is repaired, it will not be too late to welcome back the queen mother."

Lin Zhenyue and Shen Ying sang together: "The emperor is wise! It is the emperor who is considerate."

"However," Shen Ying lowered her head and straightened her cuffs, "The remnants of the Du party have not been completely wiped out, and there are only a few thousand guards in the palace. I am still a little worried about the safety of the queen mother, so I should send more people to the palace to strengthen it." Guard, I feel at ease, General Lin, I will leave this matter to you."

Lin Zhenyue smiled and said: "I obey the order, please rest assured, the emperor, I will order the dog to do my best to protect the health of the Queen Mother Fengjia!"

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to make a sound. Isn't this just an excuse to put Empress Dowager Liu under house arrest in the palace?

Who would have thought that before the emperor and the empress dowager left the capital, the little emperor was just a puppet of the empress dowager Liu, but only a few months later, the emperor returned to Beijing to take power, and the empress dowager was confinement in the palace?This is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

After the other ministers retreated, Shen Ying left Gu Min and Lin Zhenyue alone.

King Yong assisted Du Qianren in seeking to usurp the throne, a crime that cannot be punished. Shen Ying was afraid that King Yong would run away after knowing Du Qianren's defeat, so he immediately ordered Lin Zhenyue to lead [-] elite soldiers to King Yong's fief to capture King Yong and escort him back to the capital.

He also ordered Gu Min to urge Jin Yiwei to step up the interrogation of Du Qianren and other traitors. He must ask for the list of all Du Qianren's party members and catch them all.

When they just returned to the capital, whether it was Shen Ying or Gu Min, there were so many things to deal with.

On Shen Ying's first night in the Linyang Marquis Mansion, Gu Min was busy leading the Jinyi Guards to arrest the Du Party henchmen everywhere in the capital, and did not return to the mansion until dawn.

The rebellious party was arrested one by one by Gu Min and brought back to Beizhen Fusi. There were so many people that the prison was almost overwhelmed. After arresting the rebel party, they would be interrogated immediately, and Gu Min almost didn't sleep a night.

And Shen Ying in the mansion is not much easier than Gu Min. He, the emperor, has been missing for more than half a month, and there are a lot of state affairs waiting for him to decide, without the help of the chief of ceremonies and the cabinet. No matter how big or small, he had to handle it personally, and he was too busy.

In the past two days, Shen Ying's state is that as soon as she opens her eyes, there are endless batches of memorabilia. Just as she was about to take a break, a minister came to ask for an urgent matter. If she is not busy until midnight, it is impossible to close her eyes. I fell asleep, and even in my dream I was playing the piano.

He understands what it means to "wear a crown, you must bear its weight". Although this power is in his hands, it comes with countless responsibilities and obligations.

On the third day, Shen Ying finally couldn't bear it any longer, and appointed several ministers to form a temporary cabinet to help him handle state affairs. Only then did the burden on his shoulders ease a little.

With the help of the temporary cabinet, Shen Ying finally "leaved off work" early that night, and returned to the bedroom after dinner. Shen Ying asked the little eunuch to fetch a bucket of hot water to soak his feet to relax.

Shen Ying lay on the low couch with her upper body on her back, dipped her feet into the wooden barrel to soak, and ordered the little eunuchs to go out and watch at the door, enjoying the rare moments of tranquility in the past few days by herself.

Maybe it was because he was so tired recently, Shen Ying closed his eyes for a long time, and fell asleep unknowingly, until he was half asleep and half awake when he heard the sound of someone opening the door, he woke up in a daze.

Shen Ying swayed under his feet, and found that the water in the wooden barrel was still warm, and he didn't seem to have slept for a long time. He thought that the person who came in was the little eunuch who was serving him, so he was too lazy to move, so he still lay on the couch and didn't get up. Stretched out his feet from the barrel, pointed forward, and lazily ordered: "Help me dry my feet."

The man did not make a sound, and walked into the room very lightly. Shen Ying didn't even feel anyone approaching, and someone grabbed his left ankle. The palm of the man was very hot, and there seemed to be a thick Thick calluses, Shen Ying's whole body was covered with fine skin and tender flesh, so it was inevitable that the calluses in his palms would make her feel a little uncomfortable.

However, it was still bearable, so Shen Ying didn't make a sound.

The man took a dry handkerchief and carefully wiped the water drops on Shen Ying's feet. After wiping his left foot, he wiped his right foot. The water on the bottle was dry, but the man still had no intention of letting go, and Shen Ying gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Presumptuous!" Shen Ying patted the low couch under her body, propped up her elbows and wanted to reprimand the waiter, but when she raised her head, she saw that the person holding his right foot was Gu Min, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, "It's you? Why are you back?"

"This is the subject's home, can't the subject come back?" Gu Min raised his eyebrows and smiled lowly, and sat down holding Shen Ying's right foot, letting Shen Ying put his foot on his lap.

Gu Min seemed to have taken a bath, he only wore a sky blue long gown over his middle coat, and he had also shaved his beard, and his whole body was refreshed, but the obvious dark circles under his eyes still showed how busy he was these days Non-stick.

However, Shen Ying also understands that his current appearance is not much better than that of Gu Min. When he woke up this morning, he looked in the mirror and found that the person in the mirror looked like a person who had been hollowed out by excessive indulgence, and couldn't help but sigh. The emperor is really not a human being, since he returned to Beijing, his life is not as comfortable as in Cuijiazhuang.

"Come back as soon as you come back. Why didn't you say anything? I was almost taken aback by you." Seeing that it was Gu Min, Shen Ying lay down again and asked lazily as if she had no bones, "You finished your errands?" ?”

Gu Min sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I have only slept for less than three hours in the past three days, and I have gone home. Can you let me rest and stop talking about business for the time being?"

"What? Have you slept for less than three hours in three days? Are you afraid of sudden death? Bah bah bah, Tongyan Wuji! Tongyan Wuji!" Shen Ying patted the bed beside him, "Then why don't you lie down and sleep quickly ! I asked you to hurry up and do the errands, but didn't let you take your life to do the errands. Do you think you are an iron man who doesn't want to sleep? Do you know that it is easy to have problems with your body like this?"

Gu Min obediently lay down on her side beside Shen Ying, propped her elbows on the bed, supported her head with her hands, and looked at Shen Ying with a smile in her eyes, "It can't be helped, if I don't hurry up and finish my errands, how can I come here?" Looking for the emperor to receive the reward? The emperor must not have forgotten what he promised me, right?"

Shen Ying: "..."

He was so busy these past few days that his eyes were darkened, he didn't have any thoughts on romantic affairs, so he naturally threw them out of the sky.

"Bringing this matter up, I have something to ask you." Shen Ying looked away from Gu Min's face, looked at the tiles above her head, and said dissatisfiedly, "You go to the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion to transfer troops. In those few days, why didn’t I know how to send a letter to report the situation? You haven’t heard from me, and I don’t know whether you succeeded in mobilizing troops. Do you know how worried I was in those few days? Asking you to do an errand for me, you are so inappropriate, you still ask for a reward."

Gu Min pursed his lips, and said calmly, "I just deliberately didn't send the letter to you."

"Did you do it on purpose?" Shen Ying turned her head and gave him a hard look, "Gu Jun forgive you for what you are doing? You want me to worry, right?"

Gu Min lowered his head, warm breath gushing on Shen Ying's ears, and gently pressed one hand on Shen Ying's chest, and said in a low voice: "If not, how can the emperor understand his intentions? think?"

Shen Ying's face turned hot, and he forced himself to calmly ask repeatedly: "Are you shameless? Who would have thought that you would be so obsessed with food and drink? Do you have evidence for what you said?"

If it weren't for the ancient times, he would have thought that Gu Min had installed a camera beside him.

"It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't admit it, as long as I know it in my heart." Gu Min smiled lightly, then suddenly lifted Shen Ying's chin with his hand, bowed his head and kissed Shen Ying's lips skillfully.

Shen Ying did not struggle because of Gu Min's hard work for him for three consecutive days, let Gu Min kiss him, and even gave him a slight response. The great encouragement also made him sink even more presumptuously.

Until Shen Ying realized that Gu Min was undressing him, she hurriedly parted her lips and tongue, pushed Gu Min away from his chest, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Wait!"

Gu Min propped up his upper body, looked down at Shen Ying, whose face was flushed with deep eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked displeasedly: "Could it be that the emperor wants to deny it? You are not joking, your majesty."

"No, I'm afraid your body won't be able to take it anymore." Shen Ying said breathlessly, "I haven't slept well for three days and three nights, and I still only think about that matter in my mind. What's the rush? Since I promised you, I won't Regret, now, I order you to sleep well first!"

The corners of Gu Min's lips curled up slightly, it was rare, the emperor knew how to love someone.

Although there is no meat for the time being, but the meat is up to his mouth, he is not afraid of him running away. Gu Min stretched out his long arms, hugged Shen Ying's waist and lay down, "Okay, I obey the order, sleep first."

Shen Ying turned her head and saw that Gu Min next to her had really closed her eyes, and suddenly remembered something, poked the tip of Gu Min's tall nose with her finger, "Wait, don't sleep, I still have something to ask you."

Gu Min didn't open his eyes, "Please, Your Majesty."

Shen Ying hesitated and said: "Well, do you think that the reward I gave you this time is too little?"

Gu Min: "No."

Shen Ying: "Why?"

"I don't want a reward, it's enough for me to have the emperor's favor. I understand what the emperor means. The emperor is afraid that if I become too big, I will attract public attention and attract people's envy, right?" Gu Min opened his lacquer eyes and looked deeply at Shen Ying, "Before, I wished to push me to the cusp of the storm, but now I have already thought about how to protect me, so the emperor still refuses to face up to his own wishes?"

Shen Ying hastily lowered her eyelids, avoiding Gu Min's gaze, "You are really good at climbing up the ladder, I won't give you an official rank, it's because I'm afraid that you won't listen to me when your wings are hardened. If so, it's not like what you think."

Gu Min's tone was calm, "Oh."

"However, it's a bit wronged you to only promote you by half a rank, and it also made the ministers of the court mistakenly believe that my rewards and punishments are unfair." Shen Ying thought for a while, and said, "Let's do this, although I said before that I would demote you. However, there was no decree after all, so you are still young master, how about I make a decree to promote you to Yuanjun tomorrow?"

Gu Min shook his head, looking disinterested, "It's not that good."

"You are not satisfied, Mr. Yuan?" Shen Ying frowned, and looked at Gu Min with an expression of "You are a bit too much, isn't it?" "Do you still want to be directly promoted to noble?"

But Gu Min said: "I don't care for a mere nobleman."

Shen Yingfeng opened her eyes slightly, she was a little shocked by Gu Min's lion and opened her mouth, "Your lord, you are not satisfied, so what do you want to be?"

Gu Min's originally indifferent eyes suddenly changed to eager for knowledge, looked at Shen Ying and asked sincerely: "Your Majesty, above the noble, is there no other position?"
