Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 184
In the Hall of Martial Arts.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Xian who was prostrate at the bottom, but did not speak.

For Zhu Yi, he had an impression, good at riding and shooting, young and mature, although not good at leading the army, but he was considered a relatively good young man among the younger generation of Xun Qi.

In the previous life, although the court held Zhu Yong accountable for his crimes, he dismissed the title of Duke Cheng.

But for some reason, in the third year of Jingtai, taking advantage of the opportunity of Prince Xinli, the title of Cheng Guogong was restored.

In all fairness, if Fujue can continue to maintain the situation where the three bloodlines of his relatives are in harmony, Zhu Qiyu himself will not be stingy with such a duke.

But the problem is that now that the war has just ended, Zhu Yong cannot be blamed for the civil war, but it has something to do with him.

Even if civil engineering was not involved, in the Battle of Yao'erling, the imperial court killed more than [-] officers and soldiers. Such a big defeat would still be a crime.

At this time, if Zhu Yong's title is directly restored, Wenchen will probably be dissatisfied.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu spoke softly.

"If I remember correctly, when Duke Cheng was around, he was known as a Confucian general. Although he was a Duke, he was very courteous to the civil servants in the court and was highly praised. If this matter is requested by the officials, I will not will hinder."

It's not easy, but it can still be done.

Now with Li Xian, the nail in the ranks, he can indirectly influence Jing Nan's lineage.

If it is said that Zhu Yong's title can be restored, then the lineage of Prince Yan's Mansion will be stabilized.

Moreover, having Li Xian come forward to do this matter can also ease the relationship between him and Yan Wangfu's lineage.

In addition, if Zhu Qiyu remembers correctly, those relatives from the family of King Yan's Mansion have a lot of contacts in the Beijing camp.

You know, Jingying was first established by Emperor Taizong, and at that time Emperor Taizong trusted most were the relatives of the headquarters of King Yan's Mansion.

To this day, the relatives of the Prince Yan's family still have great influence in the Beijing camp.

But after hearing what the emperor said, Li Xian was a little stuck.

He could tell that the emperor agreed with this proposal, but he also said that he should be invited by the officials, which made him a little confused.

Those civil servants wished they could completely give up the title of Duke Cheng, how could they take the initiative to help speak?
However, the emperor didn't give him a chance to ask any more questions, so he said directly.

"Since this matter is a matter of Cheng Guogong's mansion, then you should also ask Cheng Guogong's mansion if there is any way. It will not be possible to let you go back and forth alone. Let's stop here today, you go back first."

But when Li Xian heard the words, he had to get up and said.

"The old minister retire."

After leaving the palace gate, Li Xian still couldn't figure out the meaning, but one thing is certain.

That is, the title of Duke Cheng is the first task entrusted to him by the emperor.

It must be done well, so as to truly gain the trust of the emperor.

Anyway, Li Xian has figured it out now.

The folk rumors spread like that, he would be tied to the big boat of the emperor no matter what.

If the emperor can sit firmly in the position for a long time, his status and power will naturally rise with the tide.

If he was lucky, he might not have a chance to turn the Duke of his generation into a hereditary Duke.

But if the emperor's big ship capsizes, let alone the hereditary Duke, the original marquis of his own family will probably have to pay for it.

As a relative, Li Xian knew better than the emperor, the intertwined forces among the relatives, and the power and energy behind them.

In fact, in front of the emperor, he still didn't say a word.

That is, compared with civil servants, among the honored relatives, there are quite a few families who are actually loyal to the Supreme Emperor.

Because relative to civil servants, Xunqi actually cares more about legal system.

Civil servants are just out of their so-called etiquette and righteousness, but on the side of the relatives, it is really related to the inheritance of their titles.

To be disrespectful, there is actually no difference between the inheritance of the throne and the title of title.

Once the inheritance of the throne is messed up, there will also be problems with the succession of the titles of the subordinate relatives.

After all, the Supreme Emperor had a son, but the Son of Heaven was able to succeed to the throne, so what should we do if the situation is also the same in the family of the relatives?
If the head of the family died in battle, can the second and third families interfere with the succession of the title on the grounds that the eldest son cannot bear the responsibility of the head of the house?
This is really related to the self-interest of the inheritance of the honorary title, which is different from the civic officials talking about etiquette.

Therefore, this time the emperor succeeded to the throne, many of the older generation's relatives in the capital were dissatisfied.

It's just that due to the critical situation and the fact that civil servants are powerful after the Civil War, not many people dare to speak out.

But as far as Li Xian knew about the news, there were quite a few people who complained about it.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Li Xian.

He has been idle all his life, and he doesn't bother to care what these people stand for.

But now, he has no other choice.

Once the emperor falls, one can imagine what will happen to him who, as the first advocate to establish a monarch, "cries bitterly" to persuade the officials with the hereditary certificate, and finally won the title of Fengguo Duke because of this.

Standing outside the palace, looking at the gradually setting sun, Li Xian sighed heavily, turned around and walked outside the palace.

The last words of the emperor will not be aimless.

Since the Son of Heaven had specified that he should go to Duke Cheng's mansion, Zhu Yi must have a way of persuading the officials.

…………

On the other end, after Li Xian left.

Zhu Qiyu's face immediately sank.

If it was just suspicion before, then now, he can almost confirm it.

Ren Li, who belonged to the Empress Dowager Sun, was at least indirectly controlled by the Empress Dowager Sun.

All the nodes in the middle come from one person...

Zhang Fu!

Zhang Fu's younger brother is now the head of the British government!

According to what Li Xian said, the Beizheng lineage and most of the newly recruited relatives in these years have been taken under the British government.

The biggest reason why Ningyang Hou Chen Mao was able to take away the power of the Xun Qi's speaker from Li Xian so quickly was that he had the support of Beizheng's lineage.

Although Chen Mao himself is a member of the Beizheng Xunqi, he has been fighting outside all the year round and has no deep friendship with most of the Xunqi.

Behind this, there must be the secret support of the British government.

In other words, it was Zhang Fu who established a bridge between Chen Mao and the relatives of Beizheng's lineage, and used the fastest speed to stabilize the turbulent situation of the relatives.

And this person, Zhu Qiyu is very familiar with...

After the restoration of Nangong, Zhang Fu granted him the title of Marquis of Taiping in order to welcome his meritorious service.

It's also because, during this period of time, Zhu Qiyu's thoughts were all focused on the battle situation.

So much so that he almost forgot.

Under this seemingly peaceful court situation, I don't know how many people with ulterior motives are waiting for the opportunity!

The orange sunset is slowly falling, but in this winter when the heavy snow has just stopped, it does not bring the slightest warmth.

Stepping out of the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Qiyu looked at the afterglow of the setting sun with a trace of coldness on his face.

The battle is over, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be done, can this group of people lose their temper so quickly?

Zhang Fu, Yang Shan...

Then let him see, what kind of ghosts and ghosts are hiding in this calm court hall like a pool of stagnant water!
