Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 713 Self-defeating?

In Wenhua Palace, watching Wynn leave in a hurry, the bosses were silent. Although this result was somewhat different from what they had expected, it was enough.

Of course, the reason for this is not just because the emperor made a concession and did not insist on cutting off Duke Cheng's title.

More importantly, after calming down, the emperor's rationality became much clearer, and when he issued an order to punish Zhu Yi again, the reason was different from the beginning.

The so-called "suspicion of being in series", in other words, is "entangled with cronies". This reason is much more powerful than before.

Everyone in the government and the public knew that what the Son of Heaven hated the most was that ministers form cliques and fight against each other. Zhu Yi was punished for this, and he was punished for admonishing the East Palace to leave the cabinet, which were two completely different concepts.

The former is the bottom line of the emperor, even if it is put in the court, it is an aboveboard reason, but the latter involves smooth speech, so naturally it cannot be compared.

Of course, it is debatable to conclude that Zhu Yi formed a party based on a joint memorandum. After all, in the court, there are many things that people want, and there will be ministers who jointly sign the memorandum. of.

However, at this point in time, this is undoubtedly the most satisfactorily resolved reason, so after thinking about it for a while, the ministers present did not try to persuade them any more.

After the accident was over, it was almost the end of the toss, and everything that should be said had been said, so in the end, only the emperor's statement was left.

In the final analysis, it is still the issue of the Eastern Palace leaving the pavilion. The ministers are talking about the court's etiquette and righteousness, and the emperor is talking about the kinship of the heavenly family.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and they were unwilling to make concessions first, which caused such a big disturbance.

Seeing that the matter of Yu Qian and Zhu Yi had been dealt with, all the ministers felt a little worried about how to continue persuading the emperor.

At this time, Zhu Jian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, the prince's study in the pavilion is for the sake of the court and society. This is courtesy and righteousness. Your majesty cares about family affection and cherishes the prince. This is love and affection. The two are in conflict. It is difficult to decide which is more important."

"However, the crown prince is unshakable in the country of Sheji, but the kinship of the Tian family can be discussed. Therefore, I think that your majesty may wish to ask the Supreme Emperor for an order. After all, the crown prince is the direct blood of the Supreme Emperor. No one can care about it and cherish it!"

"If the Supreme Emperor also feels that the Crown Prince can leave the cabinet as soon as possible, then he can take care of both."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials present frowned. It is true that this is indeed a solution, but, vaguely, they always felt that something was wrong.

At the same time, when the Son of Heaven heard the words, his eyes moved slightly, but the brows were still very calm, and he only asked.

"Then, what if the Supreme Emperor says that Donggong should suspend leaving the cabinet?"

Zhu Jian didn't seem to expect that the emperor would ask such a question, but he only hesitated a little and said.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that if this is the case, His Majesty obeyed the Supreme Emperor's order and ordered the Crown Prince to suspend leaving the cabinet.

"absurd!"

This time, it wasn't the emperor who spoke, or even Wang Wen, who always spoke bluntly and loved to fight for the emperor, but the one who had just been reprimanded by the emperor... Yu Qian!
Under everyone's slightly surprised eyes, Yu Qian stepped forward, stood opposite Zhu Jian, and said coldly.

"The Eastern Palace is the reserve capital of the society, and the king of the second reserve. When to go out to study in the cabinet is a state affairs, not a private matter. When the Supreme Emperor returned to the court, he had already planned to take care of the South Palace. He did not prejudge government affairs. All major state affairs were known. Let His Majesty deal with it, why is there a disagreement at this time, but it needs to be decided by the Supreme Emperor?"

"What's more, although the crown prince is the son of the Supreme Emperor, he is the second ruler of the country. At the time when Oirats invaded, the capital was in danger, and His Majesty was ordered in danger. The country relied on the Elder Lord, and tried his best to save the sky. It's a good story about family respect and harmony."

"But in the final analysis, the position of the Eastern Palace, even if it belongs to the Supreme Emperor's relatives and children, will be inherited by His Majesty's legal authority in the future, not the throne of the Supreme Emperor. If this is the case, how can the Supreme Emperor decide when the Eastern Palace will leave the cabinet?"

These words were quite blunt, and even touched on some of the most sensitive topics of the Tian family that the courtiers were unwilling to touch.

However, after listening to it, all the ministers on the side couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on their faces.

It's not like Yu Qian would say such words...

It is true that the Supreme Emperor should not interfere in government affairs, but in view of the complicated relationship between the Tian family, it is not that the Supreme Emperor has no position to say a few words.

Among Yu Qian's remarks, the most critical and sensitive point is that he clearly stated that the prince should inherit the legal system of the current emperor, not the legal system of the Supreme Emperor.

This point, in fact, is the most sensitive topic in Daming today that no one dares to touch.

Because according to the precepts of the great Ming ancestors, there are only two ways to inherit the throne, one is the succession of the father after death, and the other is the death of the brother.

If the way today's son succeeds to the throne can barely be regarded as brotherhood, then the existence of this prince has become quite embarrassing.

This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, that's for sure.

However, he is not the son of today's son, so obviously it cannot be applied to succession from father to son, and of course, it is not applicable to brother to brother.

Therefore, if we study the legal system carefully, the position of the Eastern Palace is actually untenable. In fact, after thinking about it, many ministers at the time regretted compromising on the issue of Zen and succession, but this is also true. It does not mean that the position of the Eastern Palace is not stable.

Although it is said that the status of the prince is a bit embarrassing in terms of legal system, but this kind of matter cannot be investigated in detail.

If you really look at the details, the crown prince was registered before the emperor ascended the throne. In other words, today's emperor has robbed his nephew of the throne. .

Not to mention, under the circumstances at that time, the succession of the emperor was actually an illegal operation. Although the Supreme Emperor later returned to the court to remedy it, but if we really pursue it, we just need to wait for a verbal battle.

Therefore, although the status of the East Palace is embarrassing, as a product of compromise, its status is stable enough. As for the problems in the middle, the courtiers have a very simple way to deal with them.

Just pretend it doesn't exist!
Anyway, it is the emperor's promise to pass on to the crown prince, and Zen is to the emperor, which is also an edict proclaimed by the emperor in Fengtian Hall. Since the emperor, the emperor, and the prince all agree on the order of succession to the throne, then there is no need to go any further. I got to the bottom of it.

When the crown prince succeeds in the future and the legal system returns to normal, nothing will happen.

Therefore, for a long time, although everyone has known about this issue, no one has tacitly raised it.

However, just now, this layer of window paper was broken by Yu Qian!
