Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 186 Looking for help from the old man

Chengguo government office.

Facing Zhu Yi's sincere gaze, Li Xian coughed twice, a little embarrassed.

"Isn't this old man, come to discuss with my nephew..."

Zhu Yi showed disappointment, lowered her head and sighed, and said.

"Oh, it turns out that Shibo didn't have a way to help the younger generation pass the court council, but just passed the message for His Majesty."

Tell you old boy to take the airs!

To be honest, from the moment Li Xian entered the door, Zhu Yi felt very uncomfortable with his appearance of wanting to become a Duke's mansion.

Originally, considering the current situation of Duke Cheng's mansion, it was really not suitable to offend such a hot and popular Duke Feng, so Zhu Yi has been patient.

But now Li Xian has come out with all his intentions.

With Zhu Yi's cleverness, she immediately reacted.

Since the emperor ordered this matter behind, then regardless of whether Duke Feng is willing or not, he has to do his best to do it well.

Therefore, he let go of his courage and deliberately teased him a few words to win back a victory.

Seeing Zhu Yi's "disappointed" look, Li Xian couldn't help touching his nose, cursing inwardly.

This kid is not very old, but unfortunately he doesn't want to eat at all.

Isn't he just selling out and will be locked up? As for holding grudges like this...

But this was just a small episode, at this moment, Zhu Yi couldn't really offend Li Xian, so she stood up and cupped her hands, saying solemnly.

"Senior, the juniors know that in front of the emperor, the uncle must have taken a lot of trouble. This time, my father's name rectification needs the help of the uncle. If it can be successful, the junior will become the government of the country, and I will thank the uncle for his help." Grace."

With Zhu Yi's current status as the Patriarch of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion, the words Dai Cheng's Duke's Mansion carry a lot of weight.

Li Xian couldn't help but sit upright, accepting Zhu Yi's ceremony calmly, said.

"The relatives are in the same line, and the same spirit is connected. You are welcome to the nephew, and the old man will definitely do his best."

The two sat down separately, and after this ceremony, the relationship between the two parties was truly changed.

The previous dialogues and frictions were just mutual testing of intentions and bottom lines.

Now it is tacit understanding, and a loose alliance has been formed.

After solving the problem of mutual trust, the next step is to solve the problem together.

Even though Zhu Yi spoke teasingly just now, it might not have been a glimmer of hope.

Seeing that Li Xian had no choice, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed, said.

"Secret Boss, to be honest, if the matter of court discussion was put in the past, maybe my nephew could think of a way, but now, after my father left, the family of the relatives who had made good friends with Cheng Guogong's mansion, everyone's heart Floating and shrinking, if you want to rely on them to build momentum, I'm afraid it won't work."

In fact, Zhu Yi began to consider the feasibility as soon as she heard about it.

Above the court today, there are nothing more than three kinds of power.

The emperor, his relatives, and civil servants, the three restrict each other and check and balance each other.

Generally speaking, such a major event as the succession of the duke of the country can be achieved as long as the support of the two parties can be won.

But the problem now is, except for the news from the emperor.

Zhu Yi was indeed not sure about the other two parties.

Needless to say, civil servants here, they have a natural hostility towards their relatives, and the biggest resistance to this matter comes from them.

As for the relatives...

Just like what Zhu Yi said, at the beginning, he ran around for the affairs of Duke Cheng, but it wasn't completely useless.

At that time, the invitation to sacrifice and burial was signed by several honored relatives, but it was rejected by the court.

Since that time, Xun Qi's attitude towards him has also become lukewarm.

Especially, this time after Ningyang Hou Chen Mao returned to Beijing.

With the backing of the British government, many former officials of Yan Wangfu who had been friends with the Chengguo government all became closer to them by coincidence.

So Zhu Yi also gave up the idea of ​​borrowing the power of the British government.

Although the friendship between Zhang Fu and his father Zhu Yong was quite good when Zhang Fu and his father Zhu Yong were there, Zhu Yi was not a child.

He naturally understood that a personal relationship is a personal relationship, and interests are interests.

Originally, on the Xunqi side, although the British government was the leader, in fact, when encountering major issues that were difficult to decide, it was still discussed by several government offices.

Therefore, from the perspective of interests, the downfall of Chengguo's government will only benefit the British government.

Even if the British government will help in the future, it must be after they have swallowed up the power of the Chengguo government.

At this stage, not only will the British government not help him, but it may even make trouble secretly.

Since Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao returned to Beijing, the power of the British government has continued to expand. Even with the help of Li Xian, Feng Guogong, he could win less than one-third of his relatives at most.

With such a small number of people, it is not enough to compete with Wenchen.

So for a while, Zhu Yi couldn't think of any good way.

Seeing this situation, Li Xian also frowned, pondered for a moment and said.

"When the old man was about to leave the palace, His Majesty specifically asked the old man to make a special trip to Cheng Guogong's mansion, and said that this matter can only be done with the help of Cheng Guogong's mansion."

"Since your majesty said so, there must be a solution. You should think about it carefully. Did your father leave any behind-hands when he was alive?"

Zhu Yi thought for a long time, then sighed.

"The contacts left by my father, my nephew has traveled all over these days, but there are a few uncles who are willing to help with all their strength, and some are even willing to accompany my nephew to cry at the palace gate with the iron coupon of the Dan book."

Saying that, Zhu Yi smiled wryly, shook her head, and said.

"However, the risk of this matter is too great. Although Cheng Guogong's mansion is down and out, my nephew will never implicate them for his own affairs."

"Other than that, my nephew can't think of any way to change the current situation."

Now Li Xian also felt a bit tricky.

He originally thought that the emperor specially asked him to come to Zhu Yi because Zhu Yi had some trump cards that he hadn't shown yet.

But who would have thought that Zhu Yi was helpless.

Even the thought of crying at the palace gate came up, so it can be seen that he has really thought of every way.

What Zhu Yi can think of, he can naturally think of too.

The only way that can work now is to rely on the lineage of the former officials of the Yan Palace, plus their relatives from the Jingnan lineage.

The two parties work together to speak out in the court, and perhaps with the help of the emperor, this matter can be passed.

But it's risky!

First of all, the civil servants will not sit still. These days, although the momentum of the relatives has increased, they have lost a lot of voice in the court because of the civil engineering battle. If they fight recklessly, they may lose more and win less.

Secondly, the British government, now with their own little thoughts, is afraid that they will not be willing to help.

What's more, it's fine if you just don't help, and you're afraid that they will tear down the stage behind your back.

The friendship between relatives is said to be strong and strong, but it is said to be thin and weak.

After so many years, anyone's family can get involved in some twists and turns.

Previously, Zhu Yi had already exhausted the human relationship left by his father when Shangben asked for succession. If he couldn't succeed this time, the relatives of Prince Yan's family would really have to change their families.

So this time, they had to make a move, bah, they had to make a move, not only did they have to make a move, but they had to guarantee that it would be successful!

When the two were at a loss, a few maids came out from the back hall and came forward to speak.

"Master, madam has prepared the banquet, you can enter the banquet."

So Zhu Yi temporarily put her troubles behind her and said with a smile.

"It's rare for Shibo to come here. My wife has already prepared the banquet, and I invite Shibo to attend."

Regardless, etiquette is required.

A dignified and popular duke of the state came to work on the affairs of the duke Cheng's mansion as soon as he left the palace. It was impossible for Zhu Yi not to even arrange a banquet.

Li Xian nodded, and was about to get up when he suddenly thought of something and said.

"Nephew, if the old man remembers correctly, your father begged Empress Dowager Zhang to personally nod your marriage."

"At that time, the wedding ceremony was very grand. The old man sat in Cheng Guogong's mansion for a long time, but he didn't see your father stop."

Zhu Yi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Li Xian to bring up this matter suddenly.

After all, this was all five or six years ago.

Although he didn't know what it meant, he still cupped his hands and said.

"That's right. Although the junior and wife's marriage has not been formally conferred, it was indeed approved by the Empress Dowager. My father spent a lot of time on this matter in the past few years."

As she spoke, a trace of sadness flashed across Zhu Yi's face, and said.

"It's a pity that the old man died in battle now, and the younger generation, as a son of man, can't even perform funeral rites..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xian.

"I'll talk about the emotional words later, the old man is old, I can't remember clearly..."

Li Xian stared at Zhu Yi with sparkling eyes and asked.

"But I seem to have an impression, what about your Yue family?"

Seeing Li Xian's appearance, Zhu Yi's heart moved, but she didn't think much, and opened her mouth to answer.

"It's Mr. Hu Jie'an!"

After all, Zhu Yi seemed to have reacted and asked.

"What Uncle Shi means, can father-in-law help with this matter?"

Li Xian asked back: "If not so, where did we break the game?"

Although he was not sure yet, Li Xian was more than sure in his heart that the matter of Duke Cheng's mansion would probably fall on Duke Jie'an.

Of course, Jie'an Gong is a private name.

In the court, this person is usually honored as Da Zongbo.

This Zhu Yi's father-in-law is none other than Hu Wei, Minister of Rites, one of the Seven Ministers!
