Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1152 Adding fuel to the fire?

When the voice fell, all the ministers in the hall couldn't help being surprised.

One must know that Yu Qian's memorandum was already approved by the Emperor Jinkou Yuyan, even Shen Yi, the Minister of the Household Department, only dared to cry poorly, and did not dare to directly say that it was wrong.

But this one is good, and he doesn't hide it at all. With this appearance, it is clear that he is going to fight against the emperor.

Who is so courageous?
Everyone turned their gazes to the person who spoke in unison. Unsurprisingly, this person was none other than Wang Hong, the famous thorn in the court recently.

Logically speaking, the people summoned by the emperor this time were basically officials from various ministries. However, Zuodu Yushi, who is now in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, complained of illness, so he made an exception and allowed Wang Hong to attend.

But even so, according to the unspoken rules in the officialdom, there is no room for Wang Hong to speak.

To put it bluntly, Wang Hong was just listening in on behalf of Chen Yi, and he could not represent Chen Yi. This statement is a bit convoluted, but it is true.

If it is said that Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, is present at the scene now, then no matter what he says, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, Wang Hong was just a deputy capital censor, and asking him to attend was to show respect for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and to let him bring back the content and results of today's discussion to Chen Yi who was not present.

In addition, Wang Hong himself is actually not qualified to speak.

However, unspoken rules are unspoken rules, and some people are the axis. Even after he finished speaking, almost everyone in the palace turned ugly.

"Your Majesty, since the second year of Jingtai, since Dilong turned over in the capital, there have been successive droughts, floods, earthquakes, and snow disasters in various places. Last year, there was even a disaster of lightning hitting the palace gate. Now the snow disaster is flat, and Henan and other places have been dry for a long time without rain, which is enough to see. The meaning of the ancestors in heaven is to warn His Majesty to recuperate, be diligent and love the people."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

They expected that Wang Hong would be courageous, but they didn't expect him to be so courageous.

Is it easy to say something like this?
It would be fine if an ordinary censor said so, but what is Wang Hong's status? Now that Chen Yi is sick, Wang Hong is considered to be the person with the highest status among the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

What he said right now sounds good as admonishment, but if it sounds bad, it's no different from pointing at the emperor's nose and cursing...

So, everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor at the same time, and as expected, after hearing these words, the emperor's face immediately turned iron blue.

There was a moment of silence in the hall. In the tense atmosphere where you could hear a pin drop, the voice of the Son of Heaven sounded slowly, without any emotion, but it made people feel cold for no reason.

"Wang Qing's family is accusing me of being immoral and immoral, so that I will be punished by the heavens?"

Sure enough, the emperor was already angry.

Except for the few cabinet ministers who had just arrived in the capital, the ministers present knew more or less about the emperor.

Whenever the Son of Heaven speaks in this tone, it must be the prelude to a storm.

It's not easy to answer this question, but fortunately, Wang Hong didn't lose his head completely, so he fell to his knees and said.

"Your Majesty knows that, I have no such intention."

"However, now that there are frequent disasters, coupled with the previous projects and wars of the imperial court, the burden on the people is extremely heavy. The imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits. .”

"Your Majesty has always been sympathetic to the common people. I implore Your Majesty to understand how difficult it is for the common people, to stop fighting and fight, and to rest with all the people. Only in this way will it be the fortune of the world and the blessing of the country."

It can be seen that Wang Hong also knows that what he said just now is inappropriate, so he has already put away the rest of the words.

However, his temper couldn't be changed in a short while, as he spoke, in the last few sentences, he became the tone of accusing the emperor again.

"presumptuous!"

Not surprisingly, even with Tian Zi's usual good temper, he was so angry that he slapped the table heavily.

Seeing this situation, all the ministers on the side saw that the situation was not good, and quickly opened their mouths.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

However, even though he said so, no one interceded with Wang Hong, and even, apart from this sentence, there was no other words to comfort the emperor.

It has to be said that this is a very rare situation in the court.

Therefore, at this time, it is reflected that the importance of ruling time is reflected.

Now, although Wang Hong is said to be the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and, by coincidence, he is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but his qualifications are too low after all.

You must know that during the Civil War, Wang Hong was just an ordinary worker, and there were at least a hundred officials of his rank in the court.

Therefore, the ministers he can get along with are naturally almost all officials of the same level as him, and those who are slightly higher, even an ordinary servant of the Sixth Ministry, is not something he can casually make friends with.

However, following Wang Hong's shocking punch at the Zuoshunmen court meeting, he directly killed Wang Zhen's party member Ma Shun on the spot, which made him famous among Ke Dao and scholars.

Later, although he was punished and demoted to the front line to patrol the border, it was precisely because of this that he had a further opportunity.

After the end of the First Battle of Wala, Wang Hong was not only pardoned, but was transferred back to the capital, and was promoted several times because of his military exploits, all the way to the position of the third rank of the left deputy capital censor.

Although the promotion is very fast, there is no foundation at all.

Officials above the third grade in the court basically did not have a deep friendship with him, and even because of his reckless and impulsive temper, many ministers deliberately kept a distance from him.

To put it bluntly, at the level above the third rank, they are no longer the kind of hot-blooded stunned young people who have just entered the officialdom. They certainly admire Wang Hong's integrity and courage, but it is more about the choice of interests.

If you run too fast, you will be hated by others!

Wang Hong is like this now, the most the elders can do is not to target him, as for speaking for him...

Who are you?
Not sure, for these ministers in the palace now, it is the best choice for Wang Hong to be severely punished by the emperor, and it is best to be demoted from the capital.

Don't forget, Chen Yi has asked for bones several times. If he really left, the position of Zuodu Yushi would be vacant.

At this time, Wang Hong wanted to seek death himself, who would care about him...

There was silence in the hall, only the emperor's awe-inspiring gaze was left, like a needle prick, which made people feel chills.

However, I don't know whether to say luck or misfortune. After a while, the emperor suppressed his anger and said coldly.

"Today's discussion, stop here, Zhu Qing, please step down!"

After all, the emperor got up and left without waiting for the others to react.

Seeing this situation, many people in the hall showed a trace of regret in their eyes, but it was only a trace.

They probably know a little about the character of the Son of Heaven. Although they have been suppressing Ke Dao recently, they are indeed not that impulsive person.

However, for them, today's matter is just a shot if there is no date.

From another point of view, Wang Hong offended so much, but the emperor still did not add the crime in his anger, which is also a good thing for Yanlu.

With different thoughts, everyone resigned one after another. Only Wang Hong was a little disappointed because the emperor did not accept his advice.

However, there will be opportunities in the future, so there is no need to dwell on this moment.

With such thoughts in mind, Lord Wang also left the Hall of Martial Heroes along with the others...

After sending a group of ministers away and returning to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qiyu's face was still sullen. Seeing this situation, Wynn asked cautiously.

"My lord, the Empress sent someone to bring some snacks just now. The servants saw you discussing with the ministers, so they ordered the food box to be put down."

"I just watched it, and it's still hot. Look, why don't you serve it up, and you can eat some?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, so Wynn waved to the maid next to him, and the latter immediately brought out several boxes of exquisite snacks from the food box and brought them up.

Then, Wynn saw that the emperor stared at the dim sum in front of him in a daze.

This appearance made Wynn uneasy, but also surprised.

You know, Your Majesty and the Empress have always played in harmony. In the past few days, as long as Your Majesty got angry and ate the dim sum soup sent by the Empress, he would feel better no matter what. Why this time...

However, the emperor didn't speak, and Wynn didn't dare to say much, so he just stood by and waited.

"I understand..."

Not long after, the emperor's face softened, and even revealed a smile.

Wynn next to him was even more puzzled by this appearance.

However, he didn't have the heart to think about it, because soon, the emperor gave an order.

"Show me, go to Kunning Palace!"

"Yes!"

Before Wynn stepped back and prepared, the voice of the emperor sounded again, commanding.

"Show off!"

Hearing this, Wynn was slightly taken aback.

Of course he knew what the emperor meant by the words. The ceremonial guards of the emperor are very complicated, but generally speaking, walking in the palace does not use the full ceremonial guards, at most it is just passing a chariot.

However, the emperor said that he wanted to make a big show, which meant that he needed to use a halogen book.

Logically speaking, this is a ceremonial vehicle that is only used when going out of the palace or at a grand meeting. It's just going to the Kunning Palace. The emperor is so troubled, but he doesn't know why.

However, the doubts in my heart turned into doubts. After witnessing the scene in the Hall of Martial Arts just now, Wynn didn't dare to say anything in front of the emperor at this moment. He responded and immediately went down to prepare.

The ceremonial car was complicated, and it took a whole stick of incense to finally get it set up, so Zhu Qiyu supported the luan chariot and headed towards Kunning Palace.

"The concubine greets His Majesty!"

The long line stopped in front of the Kunning Palace gate. Naturally, the Wang family got the news early about such a big battle, and brought the palace people to greet them in front of the palace gate.

"Free gift..."

After getting off the luanjia, Wynn could see that the emperor's face, which had been calmed down in the Qianqing palace, became angry again at this moment.

The anger all over her body made the maids kneeling next to her a little scared.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about this, and dragged Wang Shi who had just got up, and walked towards the hall sullenly.

A while later, under the service of the maids, Zhu Qiyu sat on the couch, Wang poured a cup of tea for him, put it in front of him, and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"I haven't seen this Yijia for such a big movement. I haven't seen it for a long time. Is it possible that I did something wrong that caused your Majesty to come to Xingshi to question the crime?"

There was a hint of joking in these words, and it was obvious that they hoped to enliven the somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

However, what Wang didn't expect was that before she finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu blinked at her.

Afterwards, she realized that the emperor's anger outside the palace just now had dissipated...

"Yunniang, I want you to do me a favor!"

Facing Zhu Qiyu's sudden change, Wang was taken aback for a while, but still nodded and said.

"Your Majesty said it..."

So, a smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face, and then he spoke.

"I want you to help me..."

cabinet.

After the performance was over, Zhang Min had just returned to the public room, but before he had finished his cup of tea, someone from Zhongshushe came in to report.

"Master Chief Assistant, Lord Second Assistant is here..."

As soon as the voice on the front foot fell, Yu Shiyue's figure appeared at the door on the back foot.

So, Zhang Min got up quickly, and cupped his hands at Yu Shiyue.

Yu Shiyue bowed back, sat down opposite Zhang Min, and then took out a memorial from her sleeve, and said.

"Master Shoufu, please excuse me. I came here in a hurry because I just received a memorial. The content of it is a bit uncertain. I'm afraid I need Mr. Shoufu to make up his mind."

Hearing these words, Zhang Min was a little surprised at first, and then became vigilant for a while.

In the current cabinet, the cabinet ministers who just arrived are still familiar with each other, but since Wang Ao left, the cabinet has been regarded as a situation where two sides stand side by side.

Although he is famous as the first assistant, in fact, he can't suppress Yu Shiyue, the second assistant and Zhan Shi of the Prince's House.

Therefore, in many political matters, everyone generally votes for their own. For example, Yu Shiyue took the initiative to come to discuss this kind of matter. There are basically two situations.

That is, Yu Shiyue can't handle this matter alone, and needs him, the chief assistant, to take the blame, or else, this matter may displease the emperor, so Yu Shiyue has to pull a backup to share the anger of the emperor.

Either way, it's not good news anyway.

However, as the chief assistant, this is also his duty. If he doesn't even have this responsibility, then his chief assistant is just in name only.

However, what made him curious was what happened, which made Yu Shiyue feel uncertain.

So, Zhang Min nodded, and picked up the memorial that Yu Shiyue handed over.

After reading it, Zhang Min couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face. Sure enough, it would be no good if Yu Shiyue could be thrown over.

However, at this moment, this potato is a bit too hot...

The memorial in his hand came from Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu who was sick at home.

As for the content, it's not just begging for bones like the previous ones, but... recommending Wang Hong, the censor of the left capital, as the censor of the right capital, to manage the affairs of the capital's procuratorate!
