Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 490 Avoiding suspicion?

Zhu Qiyu didn't say any more, after resigning, he left the Compassion Palace.

Not long after, the voice of the servant shouting "Get up" came from outside, but the anxiety in Empress Dowager Sun's heart did not decrease in the slightest.

It was such a straightforward agreement again, the more so, the more disturbed Empress Dowager Sun felt.

Letting out a long breath, the speed at which Empress Dowager Sun fiddled with the emerald beads slowed down, she leaned her body gently on the back of the chair, and asked slowly.

"Jiao Consort, just now, why did you stop Aijia?"

Still the same sentence, about the Habayashi defender, she, the Queen Mother, will either be choked back before she speaks.

But as long as she is given a chance to speak, Zhu Qiyu will not be able to veto it. This is due respect.

The situation at the time, obviously, could be won.

Although she finally stopped talking under Jiao Jing's hint, she also needed a reasonable explanation.

Jiao Jing cupped his hands, but his face showed some hesitation, he looked around and looked around, but he never spoke.

So, Empress Dowager Sun understood what he meant and waved her hands.

"Don't worry, in this Palace of Compassion and Ning, no one will talk nonsense, there is still some confidence in Aijia."

However, even if Queen Mother Sun said so, Jiao Jing still hesitated.

When the Empress Dowager Sun did not frown, she looked a little impatient, Jiao Jingfang fell to the ground and said in a low voice.

"Holy Mother Rong, this minister's move is precisely to protect the Supreme Emperor!"

Empress Dowager Sun did not speak, and was waiting for the next sentence.

So, Jiao Jing continued to explain, saying.

"I know that the Habayashi guards are in charge of the Nangong guards, and the matter is very important, so the Holy Mother wants to let her own people go up, so I can rest assured."

"However, Holy Mother, please think, if this matter is reported to the outer dynasty, what kind of discussion will there be?"

Empress Dowager Sun thought he would give some reason, but it turned out to be this.

Subconsciously, her tone became a little displeased, and said: "It's nothing more than saying that the Ai family interfered in the affairs of the court, so what can I say?"

The Habayashi guards are specially designed for the Nangong guards. In the future, they will control the defense of the entire Nangong. In other words, they will control the life and death of the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, Queen Mother Sun doesn't care even if it is talked about interfering in the government.

"Our Lady was wrong."

While speaking, Jiao Jing shook his head, but his face became serious, and he asked back.

"Just now, when the Son of Heaven was here, the Holy Mother hesitated. Are you wondering why the Son of Heaven is so obedient today, and only agrees with the Holy Mother for everything involving the Supreme Emperor?"

These words hit Empress Dowager Sun's mind immediately, and she immediately put away her dissatisfaction, sat up straight and asked, "Why?"

Jiao Jing sighed, and said: "If my guess is right, it should be to avoid suspicion!"

avoid arousing suspicion?

Empress Dowager Sun thought deeply, and seemed to have become more transparent all of a sudden.

Jiao Jing went on to say: "In the early court, Yu Shangshu's military report was read out by the court, and the whole court rejoiced that the Supreme Emperor is about to return to the court."

"It is conceivable that in the next period of time, everyone's eyes will be fixed on this matter."

"What the Holy Mother can think of, many ministers in the outer dynasty naturally have concerns in their hearts, but no one dares to speak out."

"Especially, after the matter of the Ministry of Rites broke out, these matters became more and more sensitive."

It was only then that Empress Dowager Sun remembered that in fact, Zhu Qiyu did not accept all of Zhu Qiyu's requests from her during the conversation just now.

At least, he tactfully evaded the matter of the ceremony of welcoming the return on the grounds that the edict had already been issued and that it would be difficult to recover it.

It's just that this matter was originally a foreign court matter, and it was used to start the conversation. Empress Dowager Sun had no hope at all, so she subconsciously ignored it.

However, remembering it at this moment made her inexplicably calm down.

To be honest, compared to Zhu Qiyu's unfathomable obedience to him, Empress Dowager Sun would rather see him oppose her proposal.

At least in this way, you can still know that what you are doing is indeed moving in the right direction.

After a short pause, Jiao Jing continued.

"To tell the truth to the Holy Mother, the Ministry of Rituals paid attention to this matter. Although the emperor has not shown too much inclination, but with Hu's character, it is very abnormal for him to insist so much."

"Hu Wei is the son-in-law's father-in-law, so I have inquired about this matter with him in private. The son-in-law said that when the court minister impeached the Ministry of Rites, he went to the mansion to ask, and Hu Wei only told him that there is no need Don't worry, just take care of your own affairs."

Empress Dowager Sun frowned, and gradually realized something.

"So, Yizhu seems to be the Ministry of Rites making trouble, but in fact, there is someone behind it?"

At this point, Jiao Jing felt a little jealous, and nodded his head.

"It should be so good. There is no one else who can make Hu Wei put down his old face and make trouble like this, except the Son of Heaven."

"Above the court, although no one has thought of this festival for the time being, there are already voices accusing the Ministry of Rites of embarrassing the Supreme Emperor, which is against the way of ministers."

"If the Son of Heaven approves the ceremonial notes of the Ministry of Rites, there will inevitably be people in the court who question the Emperor's motives. The so-called fearful words of people cannot be explained clearly by just explaining."

This principle is not difficult to understand.

Empress Dowager Sun nodded and hesitated: "So, this is what you said to avoid suspicion?"

Although until now, Empress Dowager Sun hadn't figured out what use such a grand welcoming ceremony would do to Zhu Qiyu other than embarrassing the Supreme Emperor.

However, this did not prevent her from drawing this conclusion.

Everything has a price.

As Jiao Jing said, the Ministry of Rites made such a big fuss over the ritual note, no matter what method Zhu Qiyu used to get it right in the end, he would inevitably be questioned about his intentions, but it was just the level of his voice.

Therefore, in order to restore his image and show that he did not intend to disrespect the Supreme Emperor, he must take some actions.

The old God Jiao Jing was there, and said: "Holy Mother, don't worry, if your guess is correct, within two days, the Son of Heaven and your performance will be publicized. His attitude towards the Supreme Emperor is so submissive, which is enough. All gossip and gossip can be broken."

Now, Empress Dowager Sun finally felt relieved.

The scariest thing in this world is never letting the opponent achieve his goal, but not knowing what the opponent's goal is at all.

Knowing the reason for Zhu Qiyu's actions, she was determined.

But it was only a moment before Empress Dowager Sun frowned again and asked.

"If this is the case, then at this time, it is a good time to get Habayashi defender in your hands. Why do you want to stop Ai's family?"

From the court meeting at Zuoshunmen, Empress Dowager Sun realized that what she was facing was a slippery little fox.

In the secret battle between the two sides, he often loses more than he wins, and seldom has the time to hold the other side.

Now that you know that he has taken care of it, you should take the opportunity to get all the benefits you can get, why...

Jiao Jing gave a wry smile and sighed, "It's too late!"

Seeing that Queen Mother Sun still didn't understand, he gritted his teeth and asked.

"May I ask you this way, the Holy Mother wants to take this Habayashi guard, does it mean that she wants to borrow this Jingwei...?"

Even if they knew that this place was the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Queen Mother Sun's own territory, their conversation would not spread even a tiny bit.

However, Jiao Jing still didn't dare to say those two words, but his lips moved, as if his voice had been silenced.

But Empress Dowager Sun understood it, and after she understood it, she was sullen for a while, and her face sank and she roared in a low voice.

"Jiao Jing, you are too presumptuous!"
