Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 761 Your Majesty is about to start weaving a web
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and after hearing what the servants said, the faces of all the people present suddenly became a little ugly.

Especially Yu Qian, his expression became complicated again. He is also a veteran in the officialdom, how can he not see that the current situation of the imperial court is difficult to get rid of?
Now that things have happened, even he has to say that what the Supreme Emperor did is really inappropriate.

Giving a banquet outside the palace is fine, at least it can be said that the old relationship between private people is in mind, but it seems that there is nothing wrong with asking the king of Bodu to present his credentials in the palace and then invite him to see him. In fact, the court was erected.

At this time, whether the emperor sees or does not see it, it is not appropriate.

After the servant finished reporting, the hall fell into a brief silence. Obviously, the Son of Heaven also hesitated. In the end, it was Shen Yi who was at the side, who spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I can't see you!"

While speaking, Shen Shangshu's expression became solemn, said.

"The purpose of the Oarat Mission's coming here is still unclear, but judging from the behavior that Bodu has shown now, this person is really crazy."

"Outside the city gate, in front of Marquis Changping and others, they openly killed people and demonstrated, without paying attention to me, Da Ming."

"Now, my court only punishes him a little bit, and if he doesn't summon him for the time being, he goes outside the Nangong Palace to ask to see the Supreme Emperor. This action is tantamount to coercing the court."

"If Your Majesty accepts the letter of credence at this time and meets Bodu, it will be tantamount to fueling his arrogance."

After glancing at Shen Yi, Yu Qian pondered for a moment, then said the same.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that I can't see it. Shen Shangshu's words are reasonable. The Vala mission came to the pilgrimage. It is the lower court, but Bodu is so presumptuous and presses the court every step of the way. It can be seen that he has no reverence at all. If your majesty Summon Bodu for this reason, and all the envoys of barbarians will underestimate me, the Ming court."

"Furthermore, according to the regulations, the letter of credence must first be presented to the Honglu Temple, and then presented to the imperial court by the Ministry of Rites. The diplomatic missions in Beijing should make arrangements and report to the imperial court for approval before taking action. The barbarians do not know the etiquette. In the matter of following the etiquette system, if there is one, there will be another, therefore, I also feel that His Majesty cannot see Bodu and others."

It should be said that on such a major matter, the two of them can still be clear about it.

It's just that the focus of the two is somewhat different. It seems that Shen Yi's attitude is more determined, but in fact, he is speaking from the perspective of court affairs, objectively talking about the impact of this matter on the court. The key point is to avoid talking about it.

On the contrary, Yu Qian's attitude seemed gentle compared to Shen Yi's, but it touched on the most critical issue, that is, the issue of Nangong's interference in the government affairs.

Just as the imperial court unanimously recognized the status of the Supreme Emperor Anju Nangong, many ministers in the court, or at least on the surface, the Supreme Emperor has issued an edict "not to pre-empt government affairs", which was regarded as an exchange condition that was no longer mentioned in the civil engineering battle. Although it has not been put on the table, everyone knows it well, so there is no need to say it.

Of course, this is just a "consensus" in the court, not everyone's unanimous opinion. So far, many people think that the Supreme Emperor has a noble status, is both a descendant and an elder, and the emperor should respectfully serve him. , discuss it.

However, even if there was such an idea, no one dared to bring it up in such a short period of time after the Civil War.

As one of the pillars of the Tianzi Party, although Yu Qian often had conflicts with the emperor, his stubbornness was beneficial in this kind of matter.

Although Yu Qian's words did not mention the Supreme Emperor's oral order, they were tit-for-tat. You must know that the servant reported it clearly just now. The Supreme Emperor's original words were to ask Bodu to hand over the letter of credence. After seeing the emperor, he would go to Nangong to meet him.

But Yu Qian pointed out unceremoniously that doing so was "ignorance of etiquette".

What is etiquette regulation?What is court arrangement?

To pay a visit to Nangong without going through the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites is to violate the etiquette.

What he said was a hidden needle, but anyone with a discerning eye could see it at once. Yu Qian was talking about Bodu, but he was pointing at the Supreme Emperor.

And, more importantly, Yu Qian's reasons can be put on the table.

So, sometimes, judging people and things can't just be superficial.

However, no matter what the starting point is, Yu Qian and Shen Yi have at least the same attitude on the matter of whether to meet Bodu.

However, in the face of their "admonishment", this time, the emperor was rarely silent.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Yu Qian frowned and thought for a while, thinking that the emperor was probably afraid that in the context of Nangong's already spoken words, refusing to meet Bo would cause criticism.

So, Yu Shaobao blinked his eyes, made up his mind, and said.

"Your Majesty, this matter is under the management of the Ministry of Rites. I think it's better to call Da Zong Bo outside the palace and send Nabo away. I believe that with Da Zong Bo's qualifications and ability, he will be able to handle this matter properly."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yi at the side was surprised.

I didn't expect you to learn how to shake the pot with your thick eyebrows and big eyes in Lime?
But... what a great idea!
"Your Majesty, what Yu Shaobao said is true. Bo Dumao hastily went to Nangong and passed the Ministry of Rites to deliver the letter of credence. Uncle Da Zong must be the most angry about this matter. It would be most appropriate to hand this matter over to the Ministry of Rites. "

…………

"Ah!"

In the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, Master Hu was holding a small teapot, frowning as he listened to the report from the next Lang Guan, and just waved his hand to make people leave, intending to wait and see what happened, when suddenly his nose itched and he sneezed several times.

Rubbing his nose, Hu Dazong had an inexplicable sense of foreboding, so he began to seriously think about whether he was going to get sick or not.

…………

At the same time, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing when he saw the two singing together.

Naturally, he could see that Yu Qian and Shen Yi were taking care of his face, and felt that he didn't directly refuse Bodu's audience, but he was concerned about criticism from the government and the public, so he pushed Hu Wei out.

Based on the old man's many years of court experience, he is naturally able to handle this matter properly, there is no doubt about it.

only……

"The two gentlemen are right, but since the matter has already broken out, don't go to work on Uncle Da Zong anymore. He is an old man, and he is running around to work hard. It seems that I don't care about the old minister."

Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu casually dismissed the proposals of the two people below.

As he spoke, his expression became calm again, said.

"As for the matter of Bodu, Wynn!"

"The servant is here!"

This tone means that he has already made a decision and is ready to make an order.

Yu Qian and Shen Yi looked at each other, and both saw the doubt on the other's face.

Since His Majesty does not intend to let Uncle Da Zong handle it, is it really necessary to personally issue an order to refuse to see the mission?
Their doubts did not last long, because the emperor followed up with instructions.

"Go out and deliver the decree to Bodu, tell him to let him pass the letter of credence to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will present it to me at the meeting. As for the summoning, there is no need. After reading the letter of credence, I will make my own arrangements."

"As for Nangong, since Bo Du has arrived in the capital, there is no reason why he should not go to see me. I also told him that there is no need to come to see me. If he really misses the Supreme Emperor, he should go to see me!"

Ah this...

If the first half of the sentence is still expected, then the latter is somewhat confusing.

Accepting the letter of credence can be regarded as giving face to the Oala Mission, but without seeing anyone, it can also be regarded as a warning to the other party's rebellious behavior.

But what does it mean to meet the Supreme Emperor?
Even Huai En was stunned after hearing the oral order, and did not immediately accept the order.

The two people below were even more surprised, and immediately, Yu Qian said.

"Your Majesty, since the Supreme Emperor has retreated to Nangong, he probably does not want to see the people from the north again. It is impolite for Bodu to interrupt rashly. The Supreme Emperor has already expressed his attitude by giving a banquet outside the palace. In the opinion of the old minister, there is no need to pay a visit to Nangong. Please accept it." Submit the letter of state, let Bodu and others go back to the station, and wait for the imperial court to arrange it."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yi also echoed.

"That's right, Your Majesty, I also think that as long as you accept the letter of credence, leave everything else to the Ministry of Rites. Right now, all the important matters of my court need to be dealt with urgently, and there is no need to spend too much time on the Oala Mission. "

It was obvious that both of them wanted to calm things down and did not want to cause another disturbance.

But it's a pity that Zhu Qiyu has already made up his mind. During the brief silence just now, he has already made a decision.

However, there are some things that are not convenient to say to the two people below.

So, after pondering for a while, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to say.

"I understand what the two gentlemen said. However, since the Supreme Emperor has something to say, after handing over the credentials, Bodu can go to Nangong to pay a visit. I can't continue to stop it, otherwise it will appear that my family will not get along tomorrow. People read jokes."

"What's more, Bodu and others were trapped in the post station, doing nothing, wanting to find out their intention to go to Beijing, but they don't know what year and month it will be until they move, and the court will know what they want. "

"Since they want to see the Supreme Emperor, let them go. After all, the Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor of Ming Dynasty. I believe that the Supreme Emperor has his own measure."

As he spoke, a relaxed smile even appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face, and said.

"Besides, maybe it's just like Mr. said just now, the Supreme Emperor doesn't want to see these people from the north again. When they arrive at Nangong, they will be shut down, and naturally they will not go again."

Yu Qian and Shen Yi glanced at each other with wry smiles on their faces.

That's what I said, but judging from the current situation, the Supreme Emperor might be waiting to see Bodu and the others.

The two of them had a headache for a while, and they didn't know how to persuade the emperor, so they saw the old man glance at Wynn next to him, who immediately sensed the emperor's dissatisfaction, and didn't dare to delay any more, cupped his hands, and hurried Go down and preach.

As Wynn's figure disappeared outside the hall, the matter was temporarily settled. Yu Qian and Yu Qian looked at each other and had to leave.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, both of them frowned. On the way out of the palace together, Shen Yi hesitated a few times, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Yu Shaobao, is it possible that the matter of the mission is really handled like this, is it really necessary for Bodu and others to have an audience with the Supreme Emperor?"

You know, since the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing, so far, the number of times he has summoned ministers is very small, let alone meeting with missions.

This matter is not big, but it is not small. The meeting of the diplomatic mission can be said to be a courtesy, but it can also be said to be a government affair.

Up to now, there are already signs of this. If the Supreme Emperor agrees to some conditions during the audience, wouldn't the situation of the court be even more embarrassing?

Like the worried Shen Yi, Yu Qian also frowned and said.

"Since His Majesty has made an order, there is no room for change. I can only hope that the Supreme Emperor has a sense of propriety and will not really call Bodu into Nangong for an audience, but..."

However, they all understand that there is a high probability that the Supreme Emperor will meet, otherwise, there would be no trouble like this.

Of course, as the Minister of the Ministry of War who always pays attention to the movement of the border and the situation of the mission, Yu Qian has seen more.

Originally, he didn't intend to say it, but thinking of the episode in the palace just now, Yu Qian changed his mind again, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Brother Ke Jing, if Yu Mou remembers correctly, after half a month, it will be the spring hunting period, right?"

Shen Yi didn't expect that Yu Qian would suddenly bring up this matter, so he was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and asked in doubt.

"Not bad, how?"

Yu Qian considered his words, and after a while, Fang cautiously opened his mouth and said.

"This spring hunt, His Majesty will personally host and hold a large-scale martial arts performance. To be honest, Brother Ke Jing, the original intention of this martial arts performance is to show the prestige of the Ming Dynasty to the envoys of the four barbarians. Therefore, Bodu and others are sure will go."

"There is only you and me here, so Yu made a bold guess. If there is no accident, His Majesty is probably waiting for the spring hunting to extinguish the arrogance of Nabodu and others with martial arts, and then summon them. However, Now it's just an accident."

Shen Yi didn't know about the joints in the middle before.

However, he is also a seasoned person. Hearing what Yu Qian said, he suddenly remembered that something that happened around the spring hunt some time ago made him a little surprised and uncertain.

"Yu Shaobao, if I remember correctly, some time ago, the Supreme Emperor gave orders to the Ministry of Rites, saying that he would come to the spring hunting ceremony to watch the ceremony, this..."

You must know that this matter also caused quite a stir at the time, the reason being that the Supreme Emperor directly addressed the will of the Ministry of Rites, so he did not discuss it with the emperor in advance.

However, it was a coincidence that just before the Supreme Emperor's decree arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the emperor had just agreed to the ritual note of the Ministry of Rites, and there was an arrangement for the Supreme Emperor to observe the ceremony.

Under such circumstances, the Ministry of Rites certainly had no reason to reject the decree, but there were quite a lot of discussions about this matter at the time.

Of course, it is generally felt that it is a bit petty for the Supreme Emperor to do this, but this matter is not too big. After all, although there have been twists and turns, in the end, the Supreme Emperor and the Son of Heaven have the same meaning, so it is just a discussion That's all.

However, if it was connected with the Oirat Mission, Shen Yi frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the same time, Yu Qian didn't continue to say more, some words can be stopped as soon as they are said, and talking too much will only bring disaster.

So, the two looked at each other, stopped the topic tacitly, and then separated at the gate of the palace.

At the same time, after they left the palace, Zhu Qiyu sat quietly on the throne for a while, and immediately stretched out his hand to beckon a servant to come over and give orders.

"Go and deliver the decree, call Shu Liang to come and see me!"
