Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1011 Do It Yourself
In Yu Mansion's study room, Yu Shiyue couldn't help but feel helpless seeing Yu Qian's indifferent appearance. He knew Yu Qian well, and just based on the other party's current appearance, he knew that this person didn't listen to a word of what he just said go in.

That's right, if he could listen, he wouldn't be Yu Qian.

Sighing, Yu Shiyue told Qian in detail what happened in the court that day.

"... Zhang Xuan wanted to rectify the military mansion at that time. If there is no accident, he wanted to take the opportunity to seize power. However, his timing was very good. At that time, the officials in the court were worried that His Majesty had the intention of going to war again. They are all hesitant..."

"So, Brother Shi Chao did it on purpose?"

Yu Qian's eyes flashed, and said.

"You know, His Majesty has always disliked factional disputes, so he deliberately proposed to put Zhang Nian's impeachment memorabilia in court just to get me back?"

Yu Shiyue was silent for a while, apparently not denying it.

In the scene at that time, the civil servants, nobles, and emperors each had their own plans, and they were at a stalemate. If Yu Shiyue didn't push this, no one would be able to predict the direction in the end.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Shiyue said.

"It's a good thing to rectify the military mansion. It's nothing more than who will do it and when it will be done. Your Majesty hesitates because he is concerned about who will have the power of the military mansion. However, if such hesitation falls into the eyes of the foreign court, it will become more and more irritating." There are rumors going up and down in the court."

"Yang Hong led the troops to attack the Xuanfu. This move is enough to deter the border ministries. What the court did is only an aid. Too much is too much. It should be stopped..."

"However, in this way, His Majesty may have a bad impression of you."

Yu Qian frowned and looked at Yu Shiyue, and said.

From Yu Shiyue's narration, he could of course judge the situation at that time. With Zhu Yi's help, Zhang Mi wanted to take the opportunity to seize power.

On the civil servant's side, due to the public opinion in the court, it is not easy to directly stop it. The emperor is in a dilemma. He does not want to delegate power to Zhang Yu and others, but also needs to appease the civil servants, so it is difficult to make a decision.

In this case, Yu Shiyue's proposal can just break the situation.

Putting the memorabilia into court will definitely cause turmoil in the military government, greatly reducing the possibility of mobilizing troops, and the public opinion aroused by Yang Hong's departure from Beijing will also be weakened to a certain extent.

At the same time, Zhang Xiang did not achieve his original goal and won the position of military governor, so the situation he faced would become more difficult.

Without enough power in his hand, even if he just wants to take down the officials in his memorials, it is not easy. If the two fight, there will be injuries. This is also a good thing for the emperor.

From this point of view, everything seems to be perfect.

However, this is not the case, because this proposal has a fatal flaw, that is, it satisfies the interests of the emperor and civil servants, and makes the honorable military officials fall into an internal stalemate. Even for some nobles, it is also a good thing, but Only, for the country of the country, it is harmful but not beneficial!
Whether it was Zhang Xiang who gained the power of the military mansion, or his memorials were suppressed, it was actually beneficial to the court.

The military mansion has been corrupted for a long time, and Zhang Yu is willing to scrape the bones to cure the poison. Although it is for the power of the military mansion, objectively speaking, only the British government has this background, and can rectify the military mansion smoothly and quickly.

Zhang Min took the power, so he had to do something, otherwise, he would not be able to sit firmly in this position.

The reason why the emperor didn't want to delegate power to him was because although the British government had strength, it was too deeply entangled with Nan Gong and had already been unable to get rid of it. Therefore, the emperor might be inclined to suppress this matter.

Doing so can prevent Zhang Yu from taking power, and at the same time, can continue to maintain the stability of the military mansion. Although the old disease is serious, as long as he is not moved, nothing will happen for a while.

In addition, at that time, the situation on the border was tense after all. Even if the emperor really didn't plan to use troops, it was good to be prepared.

Of course, as Yu Shiyue said, the disadvantage is that the public opinion in the court will continue to ferment, and the civil servants will definitely think of other ways to disturb the emperor.

But no matter which choice you choose, although you have to pay a price, you will also gain something, so the price is worth it.

Only Yu Shiyue's method is only taking care of the interests of all parties. If it is really done, then the military government will fall into chaos for a short time, but it has not been exchanged for clarification from the military government. Paid for nothing.

So in fact, this is partisanship!
The interests of many parties can be satisfied, but it is not beneficial to the country alone, and it will only increase internal friction.

Yu Qian could see this clearly, and Yu Shiyue would not understand it.

He said so, in fact, there is only one purpose, that is, to resolve the dispute quickly, force the emperor to give up hesitation, and make a decision as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, as soon as his proposal came out, many civil servants must be moved, but this is definitely not an acceptable solution for the emperor.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven will definitely cut through the mess quickly, so the current situation has been formed.

On the one hand, the emperor delegated power to the nobles, which can be regarded as a compromise with the civil servants. He ordered Fan Guang, Zhao Rong, and Wang Qin to preside over the investigation of Zhang Min's impeachment of military officials.

On the other hand, Yu Qian was summoned to return to Beijing as soon as possible in order to suppress the fledgling party spirit. After all, with Yu Qian's character and vision, his attitude on this matter must be consistent with that of the emperor.

Suppressing nobles can be done, but it must be beneficial to the country. It is only a dispute between civil and military interests, and it is not the right way to fall into internal friction.

Yu Shiyue sighed, but immediately, he raised his head to look at Yu Qian, smiled and said.

"Before you left Beijing, I promised you that I would take care of the Gu Dynasty Bureau. How can I ignore such a change?"

"This method is not difficult to think of. If I hadn't proposed it in front of the imperial court, then it is very likely that this matter will be temporarily shelved. Zhang Xiang's memorial has been published. If His Majesty did not give the slightest hint, there will be a lot of discussions in the court and the Central Committee. The government will definitely think of other ways."

"Instead of making the situation even more unpredictable, it's better for me to bring it up and let the matter settle. Although His Majesty may be dissatisfied with me because of this, the matter is resolved after all."

"Besides, you've been away from Beijing for a long time, and it's time to return to Beijing..."

In the last sentence, Yu Shiyue seemed to have more to say, but Yu Qian understood what he meant.

The rectification of the army has come to an end. Originally, he would have to wait a while before it can be completely completed.

But at this time, there was a border incident, and Yu Qian himself refused to listen to persuasion, so Shangshu got involved in this incident.

From the emperor's imperial edict, it can be seen that Yu Qian's actions in Shangzuo aroused the dissatisfaction of the emperor.

If it's a face-to-face show, it's fine, the emperor scolded a few words, although Yu Qian has a stubborn temper, he will bow his head when he should, explain it carefully, the emperor may not take it to heart.

However, Qian was not in the capital, and he was worried that the emperor would not listen to his persuasion, and the words in the memorials were quite fierce, and many words were not clear just based on the memorials, so it was easy to magnify a little bit of contradiction into a knot.

In addition, Yu Qian was in the local area and offended many clan and squires. It was the time when he needed the support of the court. It was not a good thing for Qian to make the emperor dissatisfied at this time.

Therefore, Yu Shiyue's move is actually to remind the emperor that the court needs a righteous minister like Yu Qian to suppress other unhealthy tendencies, and at the same time, it also creates a good opportunity for Yu Qian to return to Beijing.

How could Yu Qian not notice this kind of hard work?
After a moment of silence, Yu Qian said.

"Brother Shi Chao, thank you very much!"

Although Yu Shiyue said so, Yu Qian knew very well that the essence of this matter was actually to give him the memorial to the future.

If Yu Qian listened to his words at that time and did not interfere with the border affairs, or if his words were a little milder and did not displease the emperor, then Yu Shiyue did not have to make such a bad move.

So this thank you is sincere, and it is rare to have a trace of shame.

Seeing this situation, Yu Shiyue was calm, and even thought of joking, said.

"If you really want to thank me, you should restrain yourself and rush into the palace tomorrow. Don't mention anything about the border, and talk about the results of this rectification of the army."

"As for the military mansion, since His Majesty has already made a decision, let's wait a moment. His Majesty has promoted Wang Qin to come forward this time, in the hope that he can borrow it as the Duke's mansion and let the British mansion bow down."

"However, I always feel that Zhang Yu will not be reconciled to this. There will be another twists and turns in this matter. When the Ministry of War completes the matter of military settlements, if something really happens there, it will be too late to intervene. .”

This time, Yu Qian was silent for a long time, but at the end, when he looked up and saw Yu Shiyue's worried eyes, he finally nodded and said.

"Brother Shi Chao, don't worry, I have a measure..."

These words were a bit forced, but it was not easy for Yu Shihui to say that.

So, Yu Shiyue was slightly relieved, and then Yu Qian asked some details about other things that happened in Beijing recently.

After all, a lot of things have happened during this period, from the reform of science and education, to the turmoil of the palace examination case, to border issues, to the just-concluded Winter Solstice...

Yu Qian asked each and every one of these things in detail, but he didn't express any further opinions. Most of them were said by Yu Shiyue. He came to listen, as if he just wanted to grasp more information from Beijing.

However, his silent attitude made Yu Shiyue a little worried.

The two kept talking like this until late at night, until the pot of tea on the table was empty, Yu Shiyue stood up and said.

"Today shouldn't bother you for so long, but tomorrow is the morning court, so I thought, it's always good for you to know more. It's getting late, so I won't stay any longer..."

Seeing this situation, Yu Qian also stood up, but he didn't move forward to see him off, but had a rare hesitant expression.

Yu Shiyue felt a little strange and asked.

"Why, Ting Yi, do you have anything else to ask?"

Yu Qian hesitated for a moment, but finally said.

"Brother Shi Chao, I recently heard news that a few days ago, when His Majesty summoned His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Hui was also by his side. I don't know, is it true or not?"

This……

Yu Shiyue didn't answer immediately, but after a moment of hesitation, he nodded slightly.

This incident is not a big one, but it is not a small one either. At least, it has already spread to a small extent among the important officials.

Originally, the issue involving the prince would not be so calm, but the situation on the border is getting more and more serious, and there is a disturbance in the military mansion, so the eyes of the court did not pay attention to this matter, but they never thought that although Yu Qian was far away In place, it was noticed.

However, after pondering for a moment, Yu Shiyue still explained.

"Actually, it can't be regarded as playing right, it's more like a casual teaching and school examination."

"You know, after His Highness the Crown Prince left the cabinet, His Majesty set up a primary school next to the Qianqing Palace to teach the other princes and daughters in the palace."

"That day, Princess Gu'an had a conflict with her husband in the primary school. His Royal Highness King Hui also contradicted him in order to protect his sister. His Majesty happened to bump into this incident. Perhaps it was because he was in a bad mood, so His Majesty replied. Go to the harem."

"It happened that His Majesty the Crown Prince was going to pay his respects. His Majesty was not there, so he waited for a while. I went to inquire about the situation. It happened that His Majesty was staying with the Crown Prince for a meal. During the dinner, His Majesty asked about His Majesty the Crown Prince's situation with the help of Princess Gu'an. In my opinion, His Royal Highness King Hui happened to be listening, that's all."

While talking, Yu Shiyue saw that Yu Qian's face didn't get better, but instead showed a hint of worry. Seeing this situation, he certainly guessed what Yu Qian was thinking, shook his head, and said.

"There are quite rumors about this matter in Beijing, but you are the clearest about His Majesty's attitude towards His Highness the Crown Prince. You can see His Majesty's cultivation and love for His Highness the Crown Prince. heavy heart."

"I'm looking at this incident from the sidelines. I think His Majesty just wants to use this incident to teach His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Hui Wang to learn from each other. You and I should not be like soldiers and guess the holy will. Do you understand this?"

"I see."

Yu Qian nodded, but there was still a worry in his expression.

The two didn't speak any more, Yu Qian sent Yu Shiyue out of the study and then to the gate.

Just when Yu Shiyue was about to leave, Yu Qian's low voice finally rang out, with a bit of contradiction and hesitation.

"Brother Shi Chao, it is said that the empress of the palace is several months pregnant, but is it true?"

Yu Shiyue frowned, looked back at Yu Qian, and asked.

"Ting Yi, what do you want to say?"

Yu Qian's expression was very complicated, his brows were tightly furrowed, and it could be seen that his mood was not calm at the moment.

However, in the end, he didn't break anything, just the Tao.

"Just asking, the prosperity of the royal heirs is a good thing for the country and the family..."

"It's natural..."

Yu Shiyue looked at Yu Qian fixedly, and didn't say much.

Taking a deep look at Yu Qian, Yu Shiyue turned around to leave, but turned around, then turned back, and said.

"Ting Yi, do it for yourself..."

After all, he seemed to want to say something, but he didn't want to say anything, put his hands up, sighed deeply, turned around and walked out of the gate of Yu Mansion.

Yu Shiyue didn't look back, and Yu Qian didn't leave either. Looking at the direction Yu Shiyue left, Yu Qian's expression was complicated. After a while, he bowed slightly and bowed his hands, until Yu Shiyue disappeared into the night, and Yu Qian's hand didn't let go...
