Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1019 Pressure
After hearing Zhu Huixun's words, Zhu Yinxuan thought for a moment, and then understood.

In fact, these vassals wanted to find a place.

If he really found all the evidence to show how wronged he was, it would seem to say that these local officials can bully them at will, and it will not save face.

The reason Zhu Yinxuan gave was just right, it could be used as an excuse, and it was not so convincing, just enough to show the strength of the kings.

Of course, the downside is that...

"Father, in this way, everyone in the government and the public will be able to see that we are deliberately embarrassing Qian, will it be a little risky?"

Seeing Zhu Huixun picking up his pen and ink, and preparing to add his name to the memorial sent by the king of Zhou, Zhu Yinxuan couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said.

"I was in Beijing before, and I also heard that Yu Qian has always been trusted by His Majesty. The last time King Yi made things difficult for him outside the city, nothing happened, but when he arrived in the capital, he was forced to kneel for a long time."

"Now, if you follow these people to impeach him, will His Majesty feel displeased? And, even if it is done, I'm afraid the whole court will."

After hearing this, Zhu Huixun's pen stopped, but only for a moment, he continued to write, wrote his name on the memorial, and then took out his personal seal and carefully printed it.

After finishing all this, he put together the memorials, handed them to Zhu Yinxuan, and said.

"You still don't understand Your Majesty!"

While talking, Zhu Huixun turned around from behind the desk, paced forward in the room slowly, and said.

"Your Majesty's character is lenient, but this kind of lenient is different from the temple of benevolence."

"The magnanimity of the Temple of Ren is generosity and benevolence. The magnanimity of Your Majesty lies in being able to care about the world, being able to truly sympathize with the subordinates, and not recklessly venting anger."

"Do you still remember that when Yu Qian recommended a group of military officials, the government and the opposition all opposed it, thinking that Yu Qian's move was suspected of seizing power, but what about your majesty?"

Zhu Yinyuan frowned and thought, but didn't speak.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Huixun said.

"Your Majesty is not only not guilty, but also helped Yu Qian to stabilize the public opinion in court. This kind of behavior cannot be explained by pure love."

"It is a fact that Yu Qian seized power in the Ministry of War. The court officials impeached him at that time, it was not a lie to frame and attack each other. However, His Majesty protected him because He knew that there would be great resistance to rectify the army."

"So, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. If your Majesty wants to do something, he will give the people below enough understanding and support."

"The reform of the religious affairs I told you before, His Majesty clearly handed it over to the Ministry of Rites, but secretly, it was actually handed over to me and the Ministry of Rites."

"This matter is not easy. Your Majesty is aware of this, so until now, he has not urged me. This is the reason why my father is willing to accept this order."

"Otherwise, do you think this whirlpool in the hall is really easy to stay?"

To some extent, the characters of Zhu Yinxuan and Zhu Huixun are in the same line. However, compared with Zhu Huixun who has gone through all kinds of storms, Zhu Yinxuan is smart, but after all, he still lacks a lot of experience.

Therefore, he seemed to understand what Zhu Huixun said, but he was a little confused.

Zhu Huixun didn't care either, said.

"You will gradually understand in the future that only by following the right person can you do the right thing. Since this melody has been sent over, it is actually intended to be accompanied by my father. What is said must be submitted through the clan's mansion. What about the king of Zhou?" Is it time to follow the rules?"

According to the system, the memorials of the kings were indeed to be submitted through the clan's mansion. At the beginning, the old King Min also used this excuse to punish King Xiang.

But, thinking about it the other way around, when King Xiang wanted to submit the memorial, the reason why he didn't go through the clan mansion was not because he forgot, but because this regulation was not used in this way at all.

The kings were entrusted to various places, but they were not in the capital, and their identities were different from ordinary ministers of civil and military affairs. Therefore, the submission of memorials could not be sent to the Secretary of General Affairs like ordinary officials.

So this involves the question of which government office the kings submit the memorial to, so to put it bluntly, this regulation is actually a problem between the clan government and the Ministry of Rites.

But now, all the kings are in the capital, and they can face the saint directly. This rule is actually dispensable.

You know, when the emperor retired to his residence, even the annual congratulatory forms were sent directly to the palace without even going through the Ministry of Rites. However, everyone took it for granted, and no one jumped out to say anything against the rules.

Therefore, when King Xiang was punished by the old King Min, he felt unwilling for a long time, thinking that the old King Min was deliberately embarrassing him.

Speaking of returning to the memorial, Zhou Wangming said that he would hand it over to Zhu Huixun and let him submit it on his behalf.

But in fact, they wanted to pull him into the water together.

This result was already doomed from the time he took Zhu Yinyu to the Ten Princes' Mansion together.

Now that Zhu Yinxuan had appeared, Zhu Huixun couldn't get away. If there was any repetition at this time, not only would he not be able to get away, but he would appear inconsistent, making people laugh for nothing.

Walking slowly to the door, Zhu Huixun continued as he watched the cold plum blossoms in the corner of the wall.

"As for the dissatisfaction of the ministers in the court, we can't be blamed on our father and son. Don't forget, your father and I fully supported the rectification of the army. With this, those people in the court wanted to take us I vent my anger at home and have nowhere to go."

"What's more, your daughter-in-law has an unusual background. At least now, the Jing'an Mansion is still in its heyday. In addition, I am in charge of the clan mansion. I have been in the capital all year round. I don't see those who look up. Those ministers , not so stupid..."

Hearing these words, Zhu Yinyan's brows were relaxed, and said.

"Father is still considerate, son understands."

"Um……"

Zhu Huixun nodded slightly and continued.

"Our family will be fine. As for the other lords, since they dared to provoke these ministers of the court and wanted to give them a blow, in the end, the other party was afraid, and they would never dare to provoke the vassal again, so they died. Don't bow your head, fight back forcefully, it's all these princes' responsibility."

At this point, Zhu Huixun looked up at Zhu Yinxun, and suddenly changed the subject, saying.

"What's more, the feudal lord of our Zhu family is not as weak as you imagined..."

"King Zhou and the others are right in saying that in this world, we, the Zhu family, have to bear the burden. Those ministers in the court have opinions on the vassal king for a long time. Damn, I'm more concerned than your father."

"However, as long as our Zhu family still dominates the world, no matter how fierce the fight is, we will still live in the fiefdom. We have a way out, but the ministers in the court do not."

"So, everyone should keep a sense of proportion and not push too hard. If it is really necessary to fight to the death, there are not so many people who can make this determination..."

…………

There are only a few days left before the New Year's Eve. Logically speaking, the imperial court should slowly relax these few days, and it is indeed the case. However, although there is nothing to do in the court, there are various rumors in private. Disturbing.

On the one hand is the case of the military government, and on the other is the big plan of the Ministry of Officials for next year. It is also mixed with the news that the Ministry of Punishment will raid the mansion of the detained general, and the Ministry of Households may cut expenses, and the Ministry of Rites will rectify the religious affairs.

As the end of the new year approaches, this is the time for civil and military ministers to make friends with each other and make connections.

Now that the rumors are spreading around, it naturally makes the entire capital even more lively.

However, under the hustle and bustle, most people are worried about the future. Although the imperial court is quiet now, it is conceivable that a surging undercurrent has gradually risen.

In the cabinet, Yu Shiyue sat in the not-so-spacious public house, with a congratulatory form from the state capital in front of him, as if he was thinking about how to vote.

However, as long as you look carefully, you will find that this Master Cifu has lost his mind for a long time.

There was nothing unusual about this congratulatory form, but it had already been placed on Yu Cifu's case for half a stick of incense. What was special was not the congratulatory form, but Yu Shiyue's mood.

For some reason, he always felt particularly uneasy today, and always had a premonition that the rain was about to come.

The last time he was so disturbed for no reason was before he witnessed the attack on Xiangting.

Looking at the congratulatory form that had already placed half a stick of incense in front of her eyes, but hadn't even read the first few lines, Yu Shiyue simply closed it, wanting to go out to get some air.

"Master Second Assistant..."

However, before he walked out of the room, he met the Zhongshusheren who came in from the outside.

"The father-in-law in the palace just came to deliver an oral order, announcing that you and Lord Shoufu will enter the palace for an audience."

This sudden summoning made Yu Shiyue feel more and more uneasy. He let out a light breath, calmed down, and asked.

"But what's the reason?"

"Master Cifu, the person who came didn't say what it was, only that it was an urgent call..."

Zhongshusheren was stunned for a moment, but he still answered truthfully.

Seeing this situation, Yu Shiyue frowned, and was about to ask again, when a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Yu Cifu, something happened!"

When the voice fell, the person had already stepped in. After seeing the person clearly, Yu Shiyue and the Zhongshusheren beside him hurriedly cupped their hands and said.

"Master Chief Assistant..."

Wang Ao came in from the door, but his face was obviously ugly.

He walked straight to Yu Shiyue's side and said straightforwardly.

"Yu Cifu, just before the tea time, the other vassal princes in the ten princes' mansion handed over the sign together, please see your majesty."

"Just a few days ago, King Zhou, King Yi, King Lu and other vassal princes gathered in the Ten Princes' Mansion. The details are unknown, but it is said that it was to avenge the military camp."

Hearing this, Yu Shiyue's heart sank immediately, and he asked.

"All the kings are here? Lord Min also..."

"It's all here."

Wang Ao nodded and said.

"The servant who just came to pass the word of mouth said that besides you and me, His Majesty also summoned Duke Feng Li Xian, Bo Jing'an Fan Guang, Minister of Rites Hu Shangshu, and Ministry of War Yu Shaobao to meet with him."

"what?"

Hearing this lineup, Yu Shiyue couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

Now that the border is peaceful, the fighting in the grassland is very enjoyable, so there is a high probability that it will not be for military affairs.

Coupled with the news that the vassal kings entered the palace, the emperor summoned these people at this time, and his intention was obvious.

Duke Feng and Hu Wei, Ministry of Rites, are both the oldest group of veterans in the court. As for Bo Jing'an, Fan Guang, he is related by marriage to Prince Min's Mansion.

These people, with the ministers of their two cabinets, made it clear that they were a lineup to persuade the fight.

What are you suggesting?

Of course it will fall on Yu Qian!
All the kings came to see me at the same time, and the emperor called so urgently, a look of worry flashed across Yu Shiyue's face...

It seems that what happened today is probably a big deal.

Although he had already expected it in his heart, Yu Shiyue couldn't help feeling cold when he arrived in the Wenhua Palace.

"I bow to Your Majesty..."

While saluting, Yu Shiyue and Wang Ao quietly scanned the situation in the hall.

In the huge Wenhua Palace, the Son of Heaven was sitting at the top, with a rare look of helplessness on his face, and at the bottom were a bunch of vassal kings wearing royal robes.

King Min, King Zhou, and King Lu were all quite old feudal princes, sitting on the chair with no expression on their faces, without saying a word.

Yi Wang knelt in the hall, with snot and tears as if he was complaining about something. The rest of the people, except Dai Wang silently huddled aside and tried to reduce the sense of existence, the other Qin Wang, Xiang Wang, Zheng Wang, Ning Wang, etc. Wang and the others were all filled with righteous indignation, and their eyes almost burst into flames.

"...Yu Qianmu has no respect, ordered people to beat up the guards of my royal residence repeatedly, and deployed troops to surround the royal residence in the name of catching robbers. He uttered rumors that he was covering up his ministers and slandered his reputation. What kind of rampant person is this?"

"Even if I have done something wrong, I am still a relative of the Tian family, Prince Fanping, and should be punished by His Majesty, why should I be humiliated?"

"I implore Your Majesty, it is better to demote the minister to the high wall of Fengyang to guard the tomb of the ancestors than to embarrass the face in this capital and embarrass the clan."

These words, Yi Wang said with tears and sincerity.

After the voice fell, other kings also spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, the ministers were treated in the same way in the fiefdom. Those subordinate officials and local officials, relying on doing things for the court, wantonly trampled on the majesty of the clan. I implore Your Majesty to be the masters of the ministers."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the ministers..."

The Wenhua Palace, which was originally a little quiet, suddenly became noisy. Several feudal lords talked to each other, some shouted, some cried and made noises, what a mess of words.

However, in the face of this situation, the emperor was obviously helpless, and first waved his hand to signal Yu Shiyue to get up.

Afterwards, the Son of Heaven turned helplessly to King Min and the others, and said.

"Uncle Min King, Uncle King Zhou, Uncle King Lu, I have already said that there must be some misunderstanding in this matter. I have summoned Yu Qian and others into the palace, and explained clearly. If there are really officials making trouble with excuses, I am sure You will be severely punished, but you should calm down first, right?"

To be honest, it was the first time for Yu Shiyue and others to see such an emperor.

So, throwing and rolling is really useful!

However, there is a limit to everything. Seeing that the emperor gave the steps, King Min on the side glanced at King Zhou. Afterwards, King Zhou lowered his face and reprimanded the excited vassal kings below.

"enough!"

"This is the palace, before Your Majesty, how decent are you looking like this?"

"Since Your Majesty has already said that he will call people to discern the truth and uphold justice, then you wait for people to come and explain the matter clearly. Don't you think it's shameful enough for the majestic clan and vassal king?"
