Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1033 Saints Are Not Saints
The New Year's Day of the Tian Family is different from that of ordinary families. From the first day, there are various complicated ceremonies. Therefore, the day when we can really reunite with the family is actually only New Year's Eve.

According to the usual practice, after the concubines in the harem had a banquet on New Year's Eve, Zhu Qiyu took a few children and accompanied Wu to watch the new year in Jingyang Palace.

As the days went by, Wu's forehead gradually became grizzled, perhaps because she was getting older, and she especially liked the sight of her children and grandchildren around her knees.

The sound of firecrackers outside, Sister Hui's silver bell-like laughter, occasionally mixed with the voice of the palace maid worrying about following behind, in the warm pavilion, Ji Ge'er sat on the lap of the emperor's grandmother, helping Wu with his small fist. Shi lightly beat his leg.

Mrs. Wang was heavy, so she went back early and took a rest. Mrs. Hang and Concubine Guo Shu were by her side, taking care of the two little dolls. Sister Yun was born a few days earlier, but they are basically the same.

On the couch warmed by the toast, two little dolls were drooling and toddler. They were babbling in their mouths. Others could not understand what they were saying, but they were talking happily.

Zhu Qiyu was sitting beside him, holding a hand stove, gossiping with Wu, watching the new year together, but his thoughts had already flown out.

He was thinking about Xu Youzhen.

As for this Xu Youzhen, her actions were really fast, and her mind was indeed astute. After receiving the message from Shu Liang, she immediately took action, first went to Chen's residence to persuade Chen Xun, and then went to the British government to persuade Zhang Xiang.

Just relying on a three-inch tongue, he actually gained Zhang Min's trust.

You know, because Zhu Yi's identity was involved, Shu Liang didn't reveal too much to Xu Youzhen.

All Xu Youzhen knew was that Zhu Yi was planning to deal with Yu Qian.

Just relying on this simple piece of news, he was able to reversely infer the rift between the government of Chengguo and the government of the United Kingdom, and then make use of the situation to amplify his role. With a red mouth and white teeth, he persuaded Zhang Wei trust him.

This person is really not simple!

Thinking of that time, when the military report arrived in Beijing, and Xu Youzhen rashly proposed the proposal of moving south, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help being a little dazed.

Looking back now, Xu Youzhen at that time, although her methods were a little immature, her abilities had already begun to show.

The biggest reason why he was refuted because of the proposal to move south was that he was too unfamiliar with the court situation, so he misjudged the positions of many ministers.

However, regardless of these things, he is indeed very proficient in how to confuse people's hearts and how to please others. In fact, the proposal to move south was largely based on the thoughts of Empress Dowager Sun who was in a panic at the time.

And obviously, he was hit at the time, but because the time he was involved in the court was too short, he only took into account the Queen Mother Sun's thoughts and ignored the positions and voices of other ministers, so he suffered fierce criticism. refute.

But once he has enough information, it will be extremely terrifying to use his ability to figure out people's hearts.

What's more, there is... such a person, how to use him...

"emperor?"

When Wu Shi's voice came, Zhu Qiyu immediately came back to his senses, and when he looked up, Wu Shi was frowning at him, as if he was very dissatisfied with his absent-mindedness.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu said hastily.

"Mother and concubine forgive me, I just remembered something, so I lost my mind for a while, it is my son's fault..."

These words aroused Wu's interest, she raised her hand and gently touched Brother Ji's head, sent him out to play with Sister Hui, then turned her gaze back to Zhu Qiyu, and asked.

"The Ai family wants to know, what kind of things can embarrass the emperor?"

Normally, Wu would not ask too much about political affairs.

However, she knows her son better. Zhu Qiyu's performance just now shows that he is indeed indecisive, and it probably doesn't matter if she asks about this matter. Lost God.

Having said that, it means that he intends to ask her opinion.

Therefore, Mrs. Wu might as well ask.

Sure enough, after hearing this question, Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a while, and then glanced at the Hang family and Guo family who were taking care of sister Yun and brother Shu, and saw that no one was paying too much attention to this place, Fang opened his mouth and said.

"Actually, it's not a matter, but there is a person, um, an official!"

"Mother and Concubine, tell me, if there is such a person under my command, I know that he has no righteous heart and no real loyalty, but he has a very strong heart to seek success. To achieve his goal, he dares to take risks. Ambitious, but the means of doing things are despised by others, and he pursues the concept of those who achieve great things without sticking to small details, can such a person be usable?"

This description...

Wu frowned, looked at Zhu Qiyu suspiciously, and asked.

"Has this person offended the emperor?"

Zhu Qiyu's expression froze slightly, appearing a little embarrassed, said.

"Why did the concubine ask such a question?"

Seeing this situation, Wu Shi turned the beads in his hand and said.

"It seems that not only offended, but also not lightly offended."

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's embarrassing appearance, Wu smiled and said.

"You are a broad-minded person. Although Ai's family is in the deep palace, you have heard a little about the affairs of the Outer Court. Those ministers in the Outer Court made mistakes. You have always been kind, even those who firmly recognize Nangong in their hearts. People, at most, are dismissed and go home, as for those words that offend, those who are disrespectful in front of the palace, and those who make you angry, you have never paid much attention to it, let alone remember it."

"But just now, when you described this person to the Ai family, it seemed that this person had nothing to recommend him. He was neither loyal nor following the righteous path. carry."

"If this person really doesn't have the slightest advantage, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court, and you won't be troubled by him. Therefore, he should at least be talented. However, when you describe him, he is biased. This shows that, You have a lot of prejudice against him in your heart, is Aijia right?"

Uh……

Zhu Qiyu gave a wry smile, couldn't help picking up the teacup and took a sip to hide his embarrassment, put down the cup, he said.

"This person is indeed quite talented, um, not the kind of superficial talent, but an official who can do practical things. However, his ambition is in the court, and doing practical things is just his own advancement."

"It's not a problem to aspire to the imperial court. Those who are officials in the imperial court, who doesn't aspire to the imperial court?"

Although he knew that Zhu Qiyu was avoiding the serious and taking the light, but Wu did not point it out, and continued to follow his words, saying.

"The emperor wouldn't count on it even if he thought about it. The whole court is full of loyal and loyal ministers, so it's not uncommon for there to be people in the court who want to get ahead."

"When the water is clear, there are no fish. The ministers have the usages of the ministers, and the courtiers have the usages of the courtiers. As an emperor, the most important thing is to be able to distinguish between the ministers and ministers, and use them where they should be used. Don't trust the wrong person. gone."

There should be no problem with these words, but what Wu Shi didn't expect was that after hearing these words, Zhu Qiyu fell silent unexpectedly, with a complicated expression on his face. After a while, Fang murmured in a low voice.

"Yeah, you can't trust the wrong person..."

Seeing her son like this, Wu finally realized that this matter is not as simple as she thought.

Sitting up straight from the couch, her expression also became serious, said.

"It seems that there is something that the Ai family doesn't know about. The emperor looks like this. Thinking about it, this person may not be as simple as offending the emperor."

At this point, Mrs. Wu turned her head and said a few words to Qing Zhu who was serving beside her, so Qing Zhu took a few steps forward, took a few palace servants, and brought the two grandmas who were still playing around to the side. The baby was carried down, and by the way, both Hang and Guo, who were confused, were sent out.

After the people in the palace had almost dispersed, Qingzhu closed the door of the Nuan Pavilion, and let a few confidant servants guard the outside, while she and the two palace maids stood at the door far away and looked inside. Then he nodded slightly to Wu Shi.

At this time, Wu Shi put down the beads in his hand, leaned forward, and asked with concern.

"Brother Yu, tell mother what's going on?"

"Mother, I want to kill him!"

A few simple words, the chill is piercing, and the killing intent is awe-inspiring.

During this new year's festival, the warm pavilion was as warm as spring, but Zhu Qiyu's tone made Wu's back feel cool.

She couldn't help standing up, came to Zhu Qiyu's body, slightly bent her knees and squatted on the ground, and reached out to hold Zhu Qiyu's hand.

Only at this time did Wu realize that at some point, Zhu Qiyu's hands were still tightly clenched into fists, and his handsome and fair face was twitching faintly. It can be seen that these words were spoken through clenched teeth.

The bottomless eyes, which were usually calm, were slightly reddened at this moment, as if they were burning with raging fire.

Although she didn't know what happened, seeing her son like this, Wu almost burst into tears.

Standing up, Mrs. Wu hugged her son in her arms distressedly, patted his back lightly, and said.

"Brother Yu is not afraid, mother is here..."

I don't know how long it took, the noisy voices outside gradually subsided, Zhu Qiyu finally calmed down, raised his head slightly, broke free from Wu's arms, and bowed.

"Mother, my son has lost his composure."

His tone was calm as usual.

Seeing this situation, Wu Shifang breathed a sigh of relief, she stretched out her hand to pull Zhu Qiyu to sit beside her, and said.

"What's the matter, can you tell the concubine mother?"

To be honest, Zhu Qiyu's appearance just now scared her too.

She could clearly feel that at that time, Zhu Qiyu's killing intent was not fake.

Zhu Qiyu sat down and was silent for a long time. He didn't know where to start, and he didn't even know why it happened suddenly.

After watching the changes for a hundred years, he once thought that all his emotions had been buried in the rise and fall of this dynasty over time.

Even later, when he saw Yu Qian and Zhu Qizhen again, he was able to deal with it calmly. It seemed that all the past had gone with the wind, and he lived only for the Ming Dynasty in his whole life.

He has always thought so, and is doing so.

However, at that moment just now, he didn't know why, but suddenly, he lost control.

Maybe it's because the sound of Sister Hui and Brother Ji's carefree frolicking outside the window is not far away, the babbling and babbling of Sister Yun and Brother Shu, which is the warmth and joy of the reunion day on New Year's Eve. The peace and quiet of this moment.

Or maybe it was because Xu Youzhen's ingenuity and trickery succeeded again, it was his eloquence that once again incited the people he had incited, and it was Zhu Qiyu's despair at a certain moment that came to his mind again.

Or maybe it's just because of Wu Shi's words...

Believe in the right person!

But who is the right person, the one who can be trusted?

No, the minister is not, and the minister... is not!

So in the sentence just now, he wanted to kill, not just one person, but everyone.

Kill Xu Youzhen, kill Zhang Min, kill Zhu Jian, kill Zhu Qizhen, kill everyone related to that incident, and kill... Yu Qian!
Even if the world scolds, so what?
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Qiyu said softly.

"Mother Concubine, there is a fire in my heart that can't be poured or buried. I thought it could disappear with time, but I think I overestimated myself..."

While speaking, Zhu Qiyu's voice became low, with a hint of incomprehensible emotion, said.

"I am ashamed of my ancestors!"

"emperor……"

A gentle voice sounded in his ear, and Zhu Qiyu raised his head, so he saw Wu's eyes, facing him, in his peaceful eyes, there was a little distress, but they were extremely firm, just so quietly Looking at him, Wu said seriously.

"The Ai family knows that the emperor is a good emperor, not because you want to be a good emperor, but because you are a good emperor!"

"Mother..."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were a little confused, as if he wanted to say something.

However, Wu Shi was one step earlier than him, said.

"Brother Yu, do you really want to kill that official?"

"Don't tell the Ai family what kind of power he has in the court, what kind of people are behind him, or even what rules and regulations protect him."

"Shu Liang is outside!"

"What kind of person he is, you know better than Aijia."

"Dongchang, Jinyiweili, three or five good hands sneaked into the house at night and killed him with a knife. After the end, ordered the person who did it to find a place where there was no one to kill himself. Everything was clean and no one could find any traces."

"You, why don't you do it?"

Different from the gentleness just now, the Wu family at this moment has sharp eyes, pointing directly at people's hearts.

Under her gaze, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help lowering his head, a little flustered, and said.

"Mother, this..."

"Don't say anything that is against the rules. The concubine mother is a member of the harem. It can be seen that they are all secret means, as long as the goal can be achieved."

Wu's tone became more and more aggressive, pressing every step of the way, said.

"Emperor, don't you just want to kill him? Why not?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak.

He is also asking himself...

why not?
At this time, Wu Shi sighed and squeezed his hand tightly.

Seeing his raised head, the two looked at each other, and Wu's tone became serious and firm again.

"Brother Yu, mother knows, has always known, you are a good emperor, you are not a bloodthirsty person, you are worthy of everyone, living or dead, everyone, you are mother, eternal pride."

As she spoke, Wu's tone paused, her eyes were dimly watered, and she said.

"Mother knows, mother's brother Yu is very bitter, you can't tell Yunniang, you can't tell Hang, you can't tell anyone, even... you can't tell mother."

"It's not a pleasant path, but it's the path you were meant to take."

"So, promise mother, don't suffer yourself, okay?"

Outside the window, the snow is still there.

The moonlight is as silvery as water, shining outside the red walls of Miyagi...

Thousands of lights, happy reunion!
