Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 182 The Man Behind Ren Li
Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, whose father was Chen Heng, Duke of Jing.

When Emperor Taizong raised his troops to Jingnan, although Chen Heng was not in Yanwangfu, but in his early years, he was a capable general under Emperor Taizong, and he was also very familiar with Yanwangfu's relatives.

Therefore, in terms of seniority, Zhang Fu and Chen Mao are both younger generations of the family members of the Yan Palace.

And the two of them, because they are young, are about the same age as the relatives of Beizheng's lineage.

Therefore, he also followed Emperor Taizong's Southern Expedition and North War, and also had a deep affection for Beizheng.

But the difference is that the title of Marquis of Ningyang Chen Mao was granted by Jing Rarely, but Zhang Fu was not.

But even so, after Zhang Fu's death, Chen Mao naturally took over his position and became the talker of the new generation of Xun Qi.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Li Xian.

No wonder that as soon as Chen Mao came back, the old man froze back to his mansion and became an idle relative. It turned out that there was such an inside story.

It's not that he doesn't want to grab it, but he can't grab it at all!
According to the division standard of the three veins given by Li Xian, Zhu Qiyu recalled the origins of many honored relatives in Beijing, and he had a rough idea.

With a flash in his eyes, Zhu Qiyu asked.

"According to this, Marquis of Ningyang Chen Mao and Ningyuan Bo Renli belong to the lineage of Beizheng you mentioned, right?"

Li Xian vaguely felt that when the Son of Heaven said this, his tone was unusual, but he still nodded and said.

"That's right. Although Ningyuan Bo Renli participated in the Jingnan battle in his early years, he was just a small sergeant at that time. He was not related to the servants of the Prince Yan's family. In fact, he had nothing to do with it. What really made him shine was following the Marquis of Dingxi. Jiang Guihou's Adai Khan fought."

"And Dingxi Marquis Jiang Gui's contribution was obtained when he followed the British Duke Zhang Fu to conquer Annan. Therefore, tracing back to the source, Jiang Gui and Ren Li should be attributed to the Northern Expedition."

British government?

Zhu Qiyu's tone became even more inexplicable, and he asked softly.

"So, today's Beizheng's relatives belong to the British government, and after Ningyang Hou returned to Beijing, he mastered the power of Beizheng through the British government?"

Li Xian nodded and said.

"Your Majesty is wise. After the death of Mr. Zhang, his eldest son, Zhang Mao, inherited the title. However, Zhang Mao is only nine years old this year, so he cannot afford to be the speaker of a noble relative. Therefore, the Marquis of Ningyang is the British government's election." Sure, let’s talk about it for the time being.”

"Ningyang Hou himself, who fought in the South and the North, has a lot of influence in the Beizheng lineage, but he can't influence the entire Beizheng's relatives. The reason why he can command like an arm now is more because of the British The government is behind it.”

Zhu Qiyu let out a long sigh of relief.

It turned out that all the crux finally came together at this point.

Chen Mao was Zhang Fu's subordinate, Jiang Gui was Zhang Fu's subordinate, and Ren Li was Jiang Gui's subordinate.

Therefore, it is not that Chen Mao and Ren Li have friendship, but that both of them have friendship with the British government.

No wonder Chen Mao would recommend Ren Li.

It turned out that after Zhang Fu's death, the forces of the Northern Expedition lineage were transferred from the British government to Chen Mao's hands.

Ren Li, who belonged to Beizheng's lineage, naturally became his power.

Even if the two of them are not directly involved, Ren Li is close to Dingxihou's Mansion, and Dingxihou's Mansion is close to the British Government.

Through the British government, Chen Mao can also instigate the appointment ceremony.

No wonder Jin Yiwei couldn't find anything, the twists and turns in the middle, if it weren't for a senior relative like Li Xian, it would be hard to explain.

However, there is one more problem...

"You just said that the British government is now unable to control the Beizheng lineage, so Chen Mao was chosen to come forward. That is to say, the British government now has someone who makes the decision. So who is the person who makes the decision? Who?"

Although he vaguely had an answer in his heart, Zhu Qiyu still asked with deep eyes.

For some reason, Li Xian suddenly felt a chill on the top of his head, swallowed his saliva, and Li Xian said.

"Returning to Your Majesty, since the death of the British Duke Zhang Fu, because of his young son, all the affairs of the British Duke's government have been taken care of by Zhang Fu, the third chamberlain. Contribute a lot to it.”

After the words fell, Li Xian suddenly felt a burst of depression.

He secretly raised his head to look at the Son of Heaven above him, only to see the gloomy face almost dripping water.

However, in just a moment, the voice of the Son of Heaven came again, but it became gentle and calm, making Li Xian stunned for a while, and subconsciously felt that he had read it wrong.

"I see, Li Qing explained the situation of the Xun Qi lineage very clearly, so the last question..."

Before he had time to think about what happened just now, Li Xian immediately pricked up his ears.

"Since the relatives of the Beizheng lineage are backed by the British government, and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao is in charge, then correspondingly, the other two lines should also have people in charge. Which two are they?"

This time Li Xian didn't hesitate much, and said.

"Your Majesty, the people who are in charge of the three lines correspond to the three dukes of our dynasty. The line of Beizheng belongs to the British government, the line of King Yan's mansion belongs to the Chengguo mansion, and the Jingnan line belongs to the Dingguo mansion."

"But now, no one in the three prefectures can take the lead, so the Beizheng lineage is governed by Chen Mao, the Jingnan lineage is veterans and Cheng'an Marquis Guo Sheng, and the Yanwang Palace lineage..."

Li Xian smiled wryly and said.

"Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, because the position of Duke Cheng has not yet been determined, and the hearts of relatives in the Yan Palace's lineage are fluctuating, and they gradually have the idea of ​​returning to Ningyanghou."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked.

"How could this be? Even if the court has not yet decided on the position of Duke Cheng, the Yan Palace cannot elect a person who can make the decision?"

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng, died in a battle of civil engineering.

But because he lost the battle, the imperial court has been arguing about the succession of the dukedom of Chengguo.

Many courtiers believed that the defeat in the civil engineering battle had a lot to do with Zhu Yong's defeat in the Yaoerling battle.

Therefore, it is advocated that the title of Cheng Guogong should be dismissed, or at least downgraded.

But because of the imminent war, this matter has been shelved.

But never thought that this kind of consequence would happen.

Li Xian sighed quietly and said.

"Your Majesty does not know that there are four marquises in the Yan Palace besides Duke Cheng."

"But a few years ago, Jinxiang Hou Wangzhen and Baoding Hou Mengying were confiscated for their crimes."

"Taining Marquis Chen Ying died in civil engineering, and Chong'an Marquis Tan Jing passed away just two months ago. The principals of the two families are both half-grown children who have just been sealed off. No one can make the decision."

"There are still seven or eight earls left, but their military exploits and prestige are insufficient. Therefore, the lineage of the Yan Palace has indeed become leaderless because of this battle."

Zhu Qiyu remembered.

Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining, Li Zhen, Bo of Xiangcheng, and Chen Xun, Bo of Sui'an, were all the governors who were in charge of the governor's mansion of the five armies before the Civil War.

All of them were relatives of the family of Prince Yan's family, but now, they all died in civil engineering.

No wonder, after the civil engineering battle, the ones who were pushed up were Cheng'anhou Guosheng and Xinchengbo Zhao Rong who belonged to the line of Jing Nanjiang...

　For the rudder master who rewards the salted fish such as Shuyouer, add more~~~
　　According to historical records, Zhang Fu had two sons, the eldest son Zhang Zhong and the eldest son Zhang Mao.

　　After Zhang Fu's death, Zhang Zhong was supposed to inherit the title, but this Zhang Zhong himself had a serious illness, and his eldest son, Zhang Fu's eldest grandson, was recorded in the Ming Dynasty Records as "he came from a very humble family, and he was suspected not to be the real son", so he was not allowed to inherit the title. Lord.

　　Calculated based on the time of Zhang Mao's birth, it is estimated that Zhang Fu was afraid that after passing the title to his son, the title of the next generation would fall into the hands of whose bloodline, so he grew old and gave birth to someone who must be from his own bloodline. Inherit the title.

　　This paragraph has nothing to do with the plot, everyone should listen to it as a story~~~
