Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 532
The courtiers of Ming Dynasty have always been ruthless.

Especially when facing the king.

In his previous life, Zhu Qiyu once thought that if he worked hard to rule the country, took care of himself, listened to advice, accepted advice, was merciful, and showed kindness to these ministers, then they would naturally understand his difficulties and understand his difficulties.

However, a turmoil in Yi Chu made him see it clearly.

In the hearts of these ministers, it is the duty of the king to help the world and the courtiers, not the favor.

If they can do it, they will praise the virtuous king, but if they can't, they will scramble to persuade them.

What they need is a monarch who has no feelings and always governs the country according to benevolence, filial piety, propriety and righteousness.

This monarch cannot have a little bit of selfishness, otherwise, he will be unworthy and will make the officials renounced.

So now, Zhu Qiyu actually doesn't care what the officials think of him.

This point, in fact, the ministers of the Seven Ministers in the DPRK have a faint feeling.

In front of them, the emperor never concealed the real situation between the heavenly family, and when they advised the emperor, they never expected to impress the emperor with words of friendship between the heavenly family.

However, apart from them, many ministers in the court did not really notice this.

They naively think that the emperor has a good name, a good name, and respects etiquette and law, and he has been maintaining the harmony of the Tian family.

What they don't know, however.

In Zhu Qiyu's heart, the difference between the imperial court and the world has already been clearly distinguished!
What he needs to stabilize is the overall situation and the people.

It is enough for all the people in the world to know the harmonious scene of Tianjia, which is good for the country.

In the same way, when the Supreme Emperor went to Tumubao to offer sacrifices, for the people of the world, it was the rectification of the names of their relatives and children who sacrificed, and for the country, it was the stability of the people's hearts.

With that, it's enough!

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu didn't care about Lin Cong using the name of appointing a powerful official to suppress him.

They all knew in their hearts that Shu Liang was the emperor's spokesperson.

The so-called breaking into the palace to encircle the mansion and forcing Ling Taishanghuang, how could a eunuch dare to do it?Standing behind him must be the Son of Heaven.

These censors wanted Zhu Qiyu to deal with Shu Liang, but in fact they wanted the emperor to bow his head in disguise.

Bow your head for the so-called "harmonious family in heaven".

But the problem is that what Zhu Qiyu wanted was never the real harmony of the Tian family, let alone the false flattery of the officials.

What is in his heart is the people, and what he cares about is the country.

Therefore, if Wanmin thinks that the heavenly family is harmonious, the heavenly family must be harmonious.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qiyu greeted the Supreme Emperor with great fanfare, even at the expense of lowering his own value, and planned to welcome him in person.

Ordinary people, there are not so many twists and turns, and they don't understand any political significance.

What they saw was that the emperor, who was so easy to leave the palace, went to the outskirts of Beijing to welcome his brother with great fanfare after seeing his brother return to Beijing.

What you see will be the harmony of the heavenly family and the friendship of relatives.

That's enough!

What the courtiers saw was not important to Zhu Qiyu.

Because with the return of the Supreme Emperor, the conflict between the two sides has intensified, and this fragile "harmony between the heavenly family" will be broken sooner or later.

However, no matter how great the opinions of these courtiers are, they are only within the court and cannot affect the entire country.

The emperor must be kind, but he can't, and he won't be kind!

Forcibly pretending to be nonchalant in the ruling and opposition parties will only end up in a cocoon.

The purpose of maintaining the stability of the court is to maintain the stability of the country.

Zhu Qiyu has always been very clear about this point.

Just like this time, the sacrifice of the Tumu Fortress is a popular expectation for the common people, so he will do it.

As for whether he will be dissatisfied by the courtiers and what will happen in the end, it depends on what methods these people can force him to use.

Shu Liang is a touchstone and a stone to ask the way...

The real confrontation begins now.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more intense. Officials from Kedao came forward one by one, but their opinions were basically the same, and most of them demanded severe punishment. However, their tone of voice was a bit more tactful, not as fierce as Lin Cong's.

The emperor still didn't express anything, so an old man stood out from the front of the scarlet robe phalanx.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhou Xuan!
He said: "Your Majesty, Shu Liang belongs to the inner palace. He was originally a slave of the emperor. Non-officials and judges can judge, but this matter is of great importance, and the public is agitated. If you don't deal with it, you may lose the hearts of courtiers. Therefore, I am bold. Please Your Majesty Xuan Shuliang go to the hall and confront the courtiers, if there is really any act of coercing the Emperor Ling, he will be severely punished!"

It should be said that this is a relatively soft way.

He didn't directly request to deal with Shu Liang, but asked for details, which was a small step back.

As a result, the hall fell silent.

Naturally, these officials of the science and Taoism are passionate, but they are not fools. They know that the one who is in Baoshuliang now is the emperor.

Therefore, if the disturbance is too severe, it may arouse the resistance of the emperor.

Just like what Zhou Xuan said, Shu Liang is an eunuch after all, if the emperor insists on it and refuses to agree, and hide him in the inner palace, they really have nothing to do.

The court meeting at Zuo Shunmen was thrilling and thrilling at the same time.

No one wants to be the patrol censor who died in the War of Oala.

Therefore, one piece and one relaxation is the real way to achieve the goal.

Then, all eyes fell on the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne, seemingly expressionless, but his eyes fell on Jiang Yuan in the cabinet intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhou Xuan, formerly the doctor of the Shaanxi Qingli Division of the Ministry of Punishment, was single-handedly promoted by Jiang Yuan.

After Jiang Yuan entered the cabinet, Zhou Xuan succeeded him and became the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

If nothing else, Zhou Xuan is the cabinet's first choice.

After all, as a civil servant, it is impossible to really speak for the eunuch in the court, so you have to go roundabout.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Qiyu said.

"Since this is the case, call Shu Liang into the hall to answer questions. Zhou Shilang, you are here to host!"

Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement.

So, his own servant went down to deliver the decree.

Zhu Qiyu had expected that Shu Liang might be allowed to go to the palace today, so he had already ordered Shu Liang to wait outside, so naturally he came very quickly.

Not long after, Shu Liang followed and led the servants up to the hall step by step, walked to the hall, kowtowed to the ground, and said.

"My ministers see Your Majesty!"

The Shu Liang at this moment was different from the angry horses in fresh clothes that the courtiers saw in the past. He was much more low-key, as if he was just an ordinary eunuch in the inner palace.

With his face still calm, Zhu Qiyu spoke.

"A military report came from the Xuanfu, saying that what you did in the Xuanfu was quite inappropriate. The current ministers in the court are impeaching you, so I call you to go to the palace to defend yourself. Don't be nervous and answer questions truthfully. That's right."

Shu Liang looked respectful, and said: "The minister obeys the order."

Therefore, Yu Shilang, the toolman, had to go out again and read the military newspaper sent by the Xuanfu.

When the voice fell, all eyes in the hall were fixed on Shu Liang's body.

Zhou Xuan secretly took a deep breath and asked.

"Shu Gonggong, Yu Shilang has read the content of the military newspaper just now."

"In this military report, Tao Zongbing accused you of besieging the palace, leading the crowd to forcibly break into the Zongbing mansion according to the central decree, and forcing Emperor Ling Tai to go to the building to pay homage to the dead officers and soldiers."

"I am now asking your majesty in front of all the ministers, are these accusations true?"
