Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 443 The Empress Dowager Arrives
This court court, which had frequent changes, finally came to an end with the emperor's decision.

The fate of the three members of the mission was already a certainty, except for a few people, they were quickly forgotten by the courtiers.

What they are more concerned about is that they also sent someone first!
Although it is said that envoys were sent here before, they were here to declare war.

This time, it was obviously with the intention of summing up.

Therefore, after the court ceremony was over, although the courtiers dispersed, Zhu Jian, who was in charge of the mission, and Yuan Bin, who followed him back, were taken to the Hall of Martial Arts by Jin Yiwei.

However, when they arrived, there were already many people gathered in the temple.

Looking up, they are all scarlet robes. On the side of the civil servants, there are six ministers, Zuodu Yushi, and cabinet ministers, none of them will fall.

On Wuchen's side, Duke Feng Li Xian, Marquis Yang Hong of Changping, Uncle Jing'an Fan Guang, and Uncle Xincheng Zhao Rong are all short of Hou Renli of Ningyuan who is recuperating in the mansion. .

Zhu Jian didn't recognize these people very well, let alone Yuan Bin, but just by looking at the patch on his chest, he knew that these people were big bosses.

Not long after, a group of eunuchs emerged from the apse, and everyone stood up quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor, who had just changed into plain robes, appeared behind the imperial case.

After saluting each other and bestowing their seats, the emperor was about to speak, when suddenly there was a loud noise from outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch Cheng Jing came in from the outside and reported.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Shangsheng heard that there was an envoy from the captives coming and wanted to see her in person, but she is almost outside the Hall of Martial Arts now."

Hearing this, the ministers present were a little surprised.

Since the Civil War, the Holy Empress Dowager in the palace has seldom participated in government affairs. The only time it happened was the case of Marquis Ningyang, but in the end, she did not intervene too much.

Therefore, in the hearts of the courtiers, they respected the Empress Dowager Sun, but they didn't know how she could come so quickly.

Not long after Tingju left, he came over in person.

However, the ministers couldn't figure it out, but Zhu Qiyu was like a mirror in his heart.

At the court ceremony just now, he didn't give face to the British government and Jiao Jing's relatives, he settled the mission's case as an iron case, and by the way, he almost exposed the shitty thing that the Supreme Emperor did .

This result must have made Queen Mother Sun feel uneasy.

She was probably afraid that she would do something about this peace talk, so she rushed over in a hurry when she heard the news.

In any case, the arrival of the Virgin Mary must not be refused.

So Zhu Qiyu got up with a group of ministers and came to the gate of the palace to wait.

Not long after, the figure of Empress Dowager Sun appeared outside the hall.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at it. This time, Empress Dowager Sun was not wearing court clothes, but ordinary clothes, obviously coming in a hurry.

He looked at the servants in the palace who were following behind, their heads were dripping with thin sweat, it could be seen that they must have trotted over with Jianyu.

"Meet the Virgin."

Zhu Qiyu bowed in salute, and all the ministers behind him prostrated themselves on the ground.

Empress Dowager Sun nodded, her eyes scanned the crowd, and finally settled on Yuan Bin.

To be summoned, he definitely couldn't still wear a prison uniform, but for a while, he couldn't find a suitable official robe, so, in desperation, Yuan Bin changed back to the robe of the Jinyiwei when he came here.

Even so, he was particularly eye-catching among a group of scarlet-robed officials.

Slightly relieved, Empress Dowager Sun hurriedly walked up to Yuan Bin and asked.

"You are Yuan Bin. The Supreme Emperor is in Yibei. How is the situation? You are in good health. Have you... disrespected the Supreme Emperor?"

At this time, Empress Dowager Sun didn't have the demeanor of the Queen Mother at all, and the worry in her tone was like an ordinary folk who was worried about her son's mother.

It's just that at the end of the sentence, she finally came to her senses and abruptly changed the words that came to her lips.

Yuan Bin kowtowed on the ground and said.

"Holy Mother, please rest assured that the Supreme Emperor is in good health and everything is well. I will treat the Supreme Emperor first as if I were a guest. I even wanted to marry my sister to the Supreme Emperor, but was rejected by the Supreme Emperor."

"Before leaving, the Supreme Emperor specifically asked his ministers to enter the palace to pay his respects to the Holy Mother and Queen Duanjing, saying that everything is fine with him, so please don't worry too much about him."

With just a few words, Empress Dowager Sun's eyes were also red, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and said repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, health is good, Ai's family is doing well in the palace, don't worry about him, Empress, alas, let's not mention it..."

Speaking of Empress Qian, Empress Dowager Sun's face froze immediately, and her excited mood gradually calmed down.

Until this time, she didn't take into account the other ministers present, turned around and apologized.

"Gentlemen, please hurry up, the Ai family is worried about the Supreme Emperor, and he lost his composure for a while, which made everyone laugh."

All the ministers stood up one after another and looked at each other. The oldest Minister of Rites, Hu Wei, cupped his hands.

"The Holy Mother licks the calf with deep love, it is the blessing of the heavenly family, why dare you talk about laughing and laughing."

Zhu Qiyu also smiled and said: "The Holy Mother came just in time. I was just about to discuss with all the ministers how to welcome the emperor back as soon as possible. The Holy Mother may as well listen."

As he spoke, he ordered a group of servants to add a smaller seat beside the throne.

Empress Dowager Sun was slightly surprised that Zhu Qiyu let her stay so happily, but she didn't say much, just said.

"The emperor has a heart, and the Ai family is indeed very concerned about this matter, so they can only temporarily abandon the rules of the harem and listen to it."

So, under the hurried arrangement of the servants, all the ministers returned to their positions soon.

Previously in Fengtian Palace, there were many people with mixed eyes, so Zhu Jian did not elaborate on his experience in Wala. Now the palace is full of important officials and there is plenty of time.

Under the sign of the emperor, Zhu Jian recounted everything from his mission to his return to the court in detail.

When he heard that as early as the arrest of the mission, the emperor sent a secret edict to Zhu Jian, asking him to go to Wala to negotiate and wait for the opportunity to welcome back the Supreme Emperor.

Empress Dowager Sun's complexion was rather complicated, but it only disappeared in a flash.

After Zhu Jian said that he had arrived in the capital, he was immediately taken into the palace by Shu Liang, and many ministers had a wry smile on their faces.

At this time, they finally grasped some clues about what happened in the palace just now.

But the more this is the case, the more they feel that the emperor's mind is unfathomable.

At the same time, Zhu Jian's narrative is coming to an end.

"This is the whole process of my trip to Oara. From what I have seen, Oara is now lacking in fighting spirit and logistics. In just a few days in Oara, I saw many soldiers fighting with each other for robbing cattle and sheep. The brawl was dealt with by military law."

"It can be seen from this that it is already difficult to maintain a large number of standing troops. If it continues, this winter, I am afraid that more tribes will fall, so he is bound to let most of the soldiers return to the tribe."

"Therefore, I believe that Wala should come here with sincerity for this peace talk."
