Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 185 Visiting Chengguo Gongfu
The words were divided into two parts. After Li Xian left the palace gate, without much delay, he sent someone to send a post to Duke Cheng's mansion.

As one of the few duke's mansions in the capital, Chengguo's mansion is magnificent, and the two stone lions in front of the gate are very majestic.

It was dusk, and the snow on the bluestone slabs hadn't melted yet, and bright lanterns were hung on both sides of the mansion gate.

Against the backdrop of lights and white snow, the carriage inlaid with gold and jade stopped leisurely in front of the stone lion.

In front of the vermilion gate, there was already a group of people standing respectfully.

The person in the front, about twenty years old, was dressed in a fur robe and had a face like a crown of jade. Seeing the carriage stop, he took two steps forward, cupped his hands, and said.

"Meet Shibo."

For the aristocratic family, the most important thing is etiquette.

Although these days, Duke Cheng's mansion has declined somewhat, but as the new head of the family, Zhu Yi obviously still retains thoughtful etiquette.

In fact, no matter in terms of status or etiquette, as a veteran relative of Zhu Yong's generation, Li Xian doesn't have to be too polite to Zhu Yi, a junior.

But after all, Zhu Yi is now the head of the Zhu family. Although he has not inherited the title, Li Xian still has to give enough respect to the honorable relatives who pay attention to inheritance.

Wrapped in a thick cloak, Li Xian got off the carriage under the service of his entourage, nodded slightly, and apologized slightly.

"It's the old man's fault for bothering you late at night, don't blame my nephew."

This is not politeness, but the truth.

Generally speaking, for the mutual movement between relatives, one must post the worship post at least one day in advance, and then arrive before noon.

This is etiquette!

Zhu Yi's expression was normal, she cupped her hands with a warm face, and said.

"What is Shibo talking about? After my father died in the battle, the government of Chengguo was left in the cold. The junior is overjoyed that Shibo can come today. He also invites Shibo to have tea in the front hall."

So his own entourage stepped forward and led Li Xian into the gate of the mansion.

In the middle of the front hall, the two sat down respectively as host and guest, and when someone served them with fragrant tea, they each withdrew.

After a while, apart from Zhu Yi and Li Xian, there were only a few close servants left in the front hall.

Zhu Yi asked: "Senior Boss is here, the junior is naturally very happy, but your majesty just made Shi Bo the Duke of Feng State two days ago, thinking that the mansion is busy now, why do you have time to visit the mansion of the younger generation?"

As I said before, those who visit after sunset like this are either good family friends or urgent matters.

Although the relationship between Fengguo Duke's Mansion and Chengguo Duke Mansion is not bad, it can't be said that the family is good.

So Zhu Yi was not too polite, and asked Li Xian's reason for coming directly.

Li Xian took a sip of tea, put the cup gently on the case, and said.

"To be honest with my nephew, the old man is here to discuss something important."

Zhu Yi had a good time, waiting for Li Xian to explain.

However, Li Xian did not continue to speak, but looked Zhu Yi up and down.

It should be said that Zhu Yi is one of the outstanding children of this generation, not only well-read poetry and books, proficient in riding and shooting, but also handsome and tall.

Coupled with the background of Duke Cheng's mansion, Zhu Yi has always been the most sought after among the younger generation's relatives.

But the current Zhu Yi, although she tried her best to maintain it, she couldn't hide the indelible sadness between her brows.

Looking at the Chengguo Mansion, where people came and went in the past, but now it is extremely deserted, Li Xian said lightly.

"My nephew has been busy working on Cheng Guogong's affairs these days. Thinking about it, he has suffered a lot, right?"

This is knowingly asking.

Since the death of Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong, the court is full of people, wanting to investigate Zhu Yong's crimes.

At the beginning, there were still many honorable relatives who came forward to defend, but later, Zhu Yi went to the book and asked to go to Yaoerling to pay homage to Zhu Yong, but was rejected by the court.

Even if Cheng Guogong's mansion is completely down.

Zhu Yi has been running around these days, trying to get the court to approve this matter.

But the ministers and ministers who had been friends with him in the past were either perfunctory or simply closed the door.

But it was a good experience for him to experience what it means to be in a cold world.

Frowning, Zhu Yi looked a little cold, but still maintained her politeness, said.

"It's human nature to be wise and protect one's life. My father has already taught me that this junior dare not make any complaints. However, the uncle who came here today must not be here to care about the current situation of the junior, right?"

Li Xian didn't want to keep it any longer, and said.

"Nephew, don't worry, the old man and your father are family friends, how can you just sit idly by as the Duke's mansion is like this?"

Zhu Yi didn't speak.

Although he was also very anxious about the current situation of Duke Cheng's mansion, it was not enough for him to have no concentration.

In this world, there is no benefit of delivering it to your door.

What's more, they are Cheng Guogong's mansion, and they are not close friends with this Feng Guogong. It is not impossible to say that sending charcoal in a timely manner, but there must be something to ask for.

At this time, the more impatient he is, the easier it is for him to be led by the nose.

Seeing Zhu Yi's normal expression, Li Xian felt a little regretful.

He didn't expect Zhu Yi to be so calm in the face of such a big event.

After thinking about it, Li Xian said.

"To tell you the truth, my nephew, today the old man entered the palace to thank you. The emperor asked about his relatives, so the old man took the opportunity to talk about Cheng Guogong..."

Zhu Yi's expression changed, and she obviously became more focused.

He knew in his heart that Duke Feng would never speak for himself for no reason.

So he said that he "took the opportunity" to talk about it, probably to put money on his face, and wanted to get the gratitude of Duke Cheng.

It is more likely that the emperor wanted to know the situation of his relatives, and he couldn't get around Cheng Guogong's mansion, so the old man took advantage of the situation and said a few good words.

But he doesn't care about these, what he cares more about is the attitude of the emperor.

Seeing that Zhu Yi was finally no longer in a state of no fluctuations, Li Xian was secretly proud and said.

"At that time, the emperor said that the Duke of Cheng had the name of a Confucian general. Although the country's merits were lost in the war, it was not the fault of one person. The last time the virtuous nephew came up to ask for sacrifices and attack, the emperor intended to allow it. , the war is coming, and finally give up."

"Now that the war is over and everything is waiting to be done, the emperor intends to reuse his relatives, so he naturally thinks of Cheng Guogong's mansion, but it is inconvenient to speak out because of the courtiers' intentions. Therefore, the old man came here in a hurry, and my nephew Discuss, for fear of delay."

Although these words are a bit embellished, but the basic meaning is very clear, that is, the emperor wants to restore the title of Cheng Guogong, but he has taken into account the imperial court.

In other words, as long as the courtiers can be settled, the title of Duke Cheng's mansion is not a problem.

It's not that Li Xian didn't think about exaggerating his own achievements.

But at this moment, he can clearly distinguish which is more important.

This matter was proposed by the emperor, and it was a kindness to Cheng Guogong's mansion.

He didn't dare to take this credit.

Of course, this does not prevent him from relying on this matter to draw closer the relationship with the Duke of Cheng.

A smile appeared on his face, Li Xiandao.

"Nephew, don't worry, although the old man is old, he still has some connections among his relatives. Marquis Cheng'an Guo Sheng, Uncle Xin Cheng Zhao Rong and others, if they hear about this matter, they will definitely help."

"Thank you Shibo!"

A trace of excitement appeared on Zhu Yi's face, but her heart was extremely calm.

Just like Zhu Qiyu's evaluation of Zhu Yi in the Hall of Martial Heroes, this person is young and mature.

Even in the face of such a major event, my heart can still be stable.

Speaking of this, he already understood.

This matter was promoted by the emperor behind the scenes, and Li Xian was only pushed to the front of the stage.

In other words, it was not at all that Duke Feng wanted to help Duke Cheng's mansion, but the emperor asked him to help, and he had to.

Zhu Yi is not an ungrateful person, but whose kindness should be remembered, he is also like Ming Jing in his heart.

He has also heard a lot of rumors in the capital these days.

This Feng Guogong is now completely tied to the emperor.

So the emperor told him to go east, but he would definitely not go west.

So there is a high probability that there will be no problems with Xun Qi.

Although Zhu Yi didn't want to admit it, the real-time governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion were indeed from the lineage of Jing Nan's surrendered generals whom they had always looked down upon.

Although being the governor and actually controlling the governor's mansion of the five armies are two different concepts.

But there is no doubt that they are still very useful when they need to speak out to the court.

So now the question is...

Zhu Yi smiled wryly and said.

"My relatives and I watch and help each other with deep affection. The juniors naturally know this, but the elders in the court are quite stubborn and unflexible. My father has a military exploit, but they are falsely accused of it."

"Since the emperor said that this matter needs to be discussed by the court, then these people cannot be bypassed. I wonder if Shi Bo has a way?"

"This……"
