Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 715 He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry
At noon, the sun was shining.

Zhang Xiang returned to the British government from the lower office of the military mansion, just sat down and sipped his tea when the housekeeper came in and reported.

"Second Master, there is news from the palace..."

Hearing these words, Zhang Min immediately lifted his spirits and said.

"The military mansion is busy, the old man almost forgot, today is the day when the young man will hand in the memorandum, how is it, is there any result?"

Since Zhang Fu's death, Zhang Fu has been transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army. During this period of time, the affairs are complicated, and he is indeed a bit busy.

In fact, Zhang Xiang knew in his heart that the reason why the emperor transferred him from the Jingwei commander to the Chinese military governor's mansion was to provoke the relationship between the British government and Ren Li.

However, he couldn't escape, and he couldn't hide either!
In other words, this is simply the emperor's conspiracy.

Zhang Yu knew how much he had, so when he first arrived at the Chinese Army Dudu's Mansion, he was indeed helping Ren Li to take good control of the Chinese Army Dudu's Mansion.

However, as Ren Li's status in the court rose, Zhang Yu gradually discovered that Ren Li was not willing to rely on the British government to survive.

What he wants is to completely replace the position of the British government in the Chinese military governor's mansion!

This is something that Zhang Fu can't accept. At the beginning, the reason why he and Zhang Fu asked Ren Li to take the lead was because there was no one available, and because Ren Li's foundation was weak and easy to control. Well, Ren Li is not young anymore, so he doesn't have any big ambitions.

But who would have thought that there would be unexpected events. After supporting Ren Li to the throne, Zhang Fu would soon be accused of falsely passing on the Supreme Emperor's edict and leaking military information without authorization, and would be sent to the guillotine abruptly. As a result, it fell sharply.

At the same time, Ren Li got closer and closer to Jiao Jing and others, and won the favor of the Holy Mother of the Palace. He not only ignored Zhang Xiang repeatedly in the military palace, but also wanted to become the real leader of the Supreme Emperor's party.

In this situation, although Zhang Min was dissatisfied, he was helpless. If he had followed his early temper, he would have turned against Ren Li long ago.

However, he couldn't do this, because in the huge British government, his elder brother died in battle, his third brother was killed, and his nephew was still young. He was the only one who could be the master of the entire British government.

If he was also involved, then the scene of Chengguo's government being bullied is the future of the British government.

Therefore, Zhang Min endured all the time, not only that, but he couldn't let Ren Li discover the clues, so he could only slowly gather contacts in the military mansion and wait for the opportunity.

Don't rush and be patient, this is Zhang Fu's last entrustment to him before he died.

It was also from that time that Zhang Xiang, who was nearly [-] years old, truly changed from a child of an aristocratic family to a qualified talker of a big family.

This has nothing to do with age, but with the burden on the body!
Therefore, when Zhu Yi came to the door, although Zhang Mi hesitated on the surface, in fact he had already moved his mind.

Now that Ren Li is in prison, the Chinese Military Commander's Mansion has no leader. At this time, it is a good opportunity for Zhang Xiang to take back the British government's control over the Chinese Military Commander's Mansion, so he is naturally busy running around.

However, it was not easy. At least, during this period of time, during the contact with many military officials and generals, Zhang Xiang clearly felt that because they had no military achievements, they treated him with courtesy on the surface, but in fact they were very contemptuous.

Under such circumstances, if Zhu Yi can successfully regain the title, then of course, it can give the British government a lot of help, and Zhang Wei is naturally concerned.

However, facing his second master's inquiry, the old butler showed a bit of embarrassment, and said.

"Back to the second master, just now, Mr. Shu Liang from Dongchang came to Chengguo's mansion and ordered the young man to suspend his duties pending investigation. At the same time, he took away the hereditary iron certificate of Chengguo's mansion. As for the charges, it is said that There is suspicion of colluding with courtiers."

"what?"

Zhang Min's hand holding the teacup suddenly trembled, and half a cup of tea spilled on his robe, looking embarrassed, but he didn't care at all, and asked hastily.

"How could this be? Where is Mr. Zhu Ge? Didn't he say anything? And Hu Shangshu, he just watched his son-in-law being so wronged?"

The housekeeper cupped his hands helplessly, and said, "Second Lord, I don't know the specific situation, but, in addition to the decree given to Duke Cheng's mansion, the palace also gave the decree to the Ministry of Rites, ordering the Ministry of Rites to send Choose a date to go out of the pavilion for the East Palace."

Zhang Min was taken aback for a moment, and his brows furrowed immediately.

So, is it self-defeating?
Although it is said that Zhang Min is not sensitive to political struggles, it is hard not to arouse people's associations when these two decrees are spread at the same time.

Could it be that the emperor had no choice but to agree to the Donggong's leaving the pavilion, but because of this, he angered Cheng Guogong's mansion?

In other words, it was those civil servants who exchanged Cheng Guogong's mansion for the emperor to agree to the East Palace to leave the cabinet as soon as possible?

For a while, Zhang Min's thoughts were confused, he couldn't sit still any longer, he suddenly got up from the chair, he walked around the room twice, after a while, he seemed to have made some decision, said.

"Prepare the car and go to Duke Cheng's mansion!"

Hearing this, the butler was startled at first, then hesitated, and after a while, Fang said.

"Second Lord, are you a little too anxious to pass this time? After all, the palace has just announced a decree, should you wait until evening..."

Zhang Min frowned, and walked around the room a couple of times in agitation.

Indeed, at this time the past seemed too eager.

You must know that although he also co-signed in the memorial, on the one hand, there are many joint names of Hou and Bo in the memorial, and on the other hand, he is not the current British Duke after all, so , he is not conspicuous among them.

However, now that the imperial court had just dealt with Zhu Yi, he rushed over there in a hurry. Even if there was an in-law relationship, it would inevitably make people guess whether the British government was instigating this matter.

Sitting heavily on the chair, Zhang Min picked up the remaining half cup of herbal tea and drank it down his throat, finally calming down a little, said.

"You are right. In this case, you first send someone to the cabinet to ask Mr. Zhu Ge what happened, and then find someone to hand over a letter of worship to Cheng Guogong's mansion, just say... just talk about the marriage of the two families. The matter needs to be discussed, and the old man will personally visit Duke Cheng's mansion at night."

"Yes……"

The old butler nodded, and stepped back quickly to make arrangements. Zhang Min sat on the chair but frowned. After a long while, he rubbed his forehead wearily and sighed a long time.

At the same time, in Duke Cheng's mansion, Shu Liang held a copy of the imperial decree in his hand and handed it to Zhu Yi, while Zhu Yi carefully held an iron tile in his hand.

The tile was about the size of two palms, and it was engraved with densely packed small characters in gold water. It looked old and not shiny, but rather ancient.

Zhu Yi looked at the tile with complicated eyes, but in the end, she held it in front of Shu Liang.

"Eunuch, this is the hereditary iron coupon that His Majesty Taizong bestowed on the ancestors!"

Shu Liang did not neglect, he took the iron coupon with both hands raised, and carefully put it in the brocade box prepared in advance, Fang turned around and said.

"Young master, don't worry, this hereditary iron certificate still belongs to Duke Cheng's mansion. Not only that, as long as he is willing, Duke Cheng's mansion will surely be able to reappear its glory in the hands of him."

Zhu Yi kept staring at the brocade box until the lid was completely closed, then he reluctantly looked away. Hearing this, he smiled wryly and said.

"I don't dare to hope to have the merits of my father and ancestors. I just hope that the lintel of Cheng Guogong's mansion will not fall into my hands. Now that the matter has come to an end, I have to ask Shu Gonggong to be more beautiful in front of His Majesty for Cheng Guogong's mansion." With a few words, Zhu would like to thank you very much."

Shu Liang didn't shirk this time, nodded and said.

"Don't worry, my lord, the emperor will never treat people who do things well. As long as the lord does what we have discussed with our family before, I'm afraid it won't be long before our family will change the name of the lord to the lord of the country." ..."
