Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 769

It has to be said that Yu Qian's resoluteness and courage are rare in the dynasty.

Although he didn't directly state it, there is no doubt that the "no one left out" he said included not only the members of the mission, but also Qi Muge himself.

And, more importantly, just now, Yu Qian just asked the emperor to send a message to the Palace of Compassion, asking the queen mother to take back the decree, but he did not say the decree of the emperor.

In other words, he was planning to lead the Ministry of War to openly disobey the emperor's will.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that, all the people present are smart people, and after a little product, they understood what Yu Qian meant, he was actually taking advantage of a loophole.

Naqimuge is a concubine, which belongs to the affairs of the harem. As usual, there is no need to issue an order to the outer court, and it is not a canonized queen, but just a concubine.

What's more, this concubine is not the concubine of the emperor, but the concubine of the Supreme Emperor.

Again, there is no precedent for being too emperor before the Ming Dynasty, so many institutional processes are vague.

If it is the canonization of the emperor and concubine, it is natural that the Ministry of Rites must publish the list, and the Shangbao Department will cast the seal, and the queen will personally grant the book treasure, with full etiquette.

However, since the Supreme Emperor lives in Nangong, many institutions are not as complete as those in the serious harem. For example, Shang Baosi can only be found in the palace, not Nangong. However, the Supreme Emperor's will is useful in Nangong, but if he leaves Nangong, he will have to call question mark.

The Supreme Emperor himself should also understand this truth. The so-called King of Hades is easy to see, and little devils are difficult to deal with. If the order is given to the high-ranking elders, they may still feel embarrassed, but if it is given to the eunuchs in the harem who are arrogant and demeaning, it will be difficult. Not necessarily anymore.

Therefore, he rarely issued decrees to these institutions in the harem, which also led to the fact that many concubines in the Nangong are said to be canonized, but in fact, except for the concubines who were formally canonized by the Supreme Emperor before he left Beijing, other people, Jin Yinbao There are no books, but it is just a false name.

Of course, it is not completely useless, at least, during this period of time, because many concubines have been recruited, the money provided by the internal treasury to the Supreme Emperor has also greatly increased.

However, perhaps because of his reputation, the emperor didn't say much about it. As long as the Nangong can be said to be famous for the property that needs to be spent, the internal treasury can be allocated accordingly. But in this way, the emperor will get it He has a reputation of respecting and loving his elder brother, but the reputation of being an arrogant and extravagant emperor cannot be taken away.

Going back to the matter of Qimuge, before the Supreme Emperor conferred concubines, they were done at will, without going through Shang Baosi and the Ministry of Rites, and it was obviously the same this time.

That being the case, there is a loophole.

As a minister of the outer court, it is inconvenient for Yu Qian to interfere in the affairs of the inner palace, so it is a matter of course that he does not have much right to know about many affairs of the inner palace.

In other words, if the decree has not reached six parts, he can pretend that he is not aware of the decree.

In this way, Yu Qian can "check one by one" according to the list and "not miss a single person" with the imperial decree that the Son of Heaven went down to the Ministry of War and asked the Oirat mission to leave Beijing within a time limit.

Of course, doing so is risky.

To put it bluntly, pretending not to know is just a reason to hide one's ears and steal the bell. By doing this, Yu Qian is actually expressing the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the DPRK and China with this decree in a disguised form, and put the pressure back on Nangong again.

In this case, there are nothing more than two choices that the Supreme Emperor can make.

One is to let people out of the palace, as if nothing happened, and the Ministry of War sends the Oala mission back to the grassland according to the imperial decree, then everything will naturally disappear invisible.

The second is to detain the person and wait for the Ministry of War to ask for the person.

But in this way, the last face is torn.

Yu Qian's actions, although offensive, left a last resort after all, as long as the Supreme Emperor is willing to take a step back, then the matter will not make a big fuss.

However, once the Ministry of War "finds out" that the number of Oala missions disappeared without any reason or that there are impostors, and then go to Nangong dignitaries, then the situation will become serious.

There is no need to doubt whether Yu Qian has the courage. In fact, the fact that Yu Qian dared to say this sentence represents his determination, that is, no matter what, this Mongolian woman should not be allowed to stay in Nangong.

Even if it is to offend the Supreme Emperor for this, he will not hesitate to do so. His deception is just to save the Supreme Emperor's last face.

If the Supreme Emperor doesn't want this face, then let's put everything on the table.

If Yu Qian really went to Nangong to ask for someone, it wouldn't just be a question of whether Qi Muge would stay or not. This matter was so big that it would definitely arouse discussions in the court.

In this case, if the Supreme Emperor couldn't bear the pressure and released the person, then what he would face would be an embarrassing situation of losing all face.

And if the Supreme Emperor insisted on refusing to let him go and wanted to keep Qi Muge in the palace, then the result would be the same.

Because under the leadership of Yu Qian, impeachment from all over the court will inevitably swarm.

If the Supreme Emperor is still on the throne, no matter how much he is impeached, no one can force him to do what the emperor does not want to do. Otherwise, Wang Zhen would not have been rampant in the court for many years.

But the problem is that the Supreme Emperor is no longer the emperor!

In the end, these impeachment memorials must be sent to the emperor's desk.

Under normal circumstances, the Son of Heaven is naturally not willing to "violate" the imperial decree of the Supreme Emperor.

However, if the emperor complied with the request of the ministers and went to the Nangong to "discuss" with the Supreme Emperor under the circumstances of the Manchu court's persuasion, then the result is actually unnecessary.

Its wooden frame, the Supreme Emperor must not be able to keep it!

Of course, if you do this, the impact will be great. The one who bears the brunt is Yu Qian, who will definitely be hated by the Supreme Emperor. It will be second only to the governor of a certain east factory.

Although it is said that with the protection of the Son of Heaven, the Supreme Emperor cannot touch him, but he is always thought of by such an incomparably noble Supreme Emperor.

In addition, even if the Supreme Emperor is not mentioned, Yu Qian's behavior actually offends the imperial power. Since ancient times, it is not easy to be an admonisher, especially an admonisher who directly stabs the emperor.

Everyone admires this kind of person, but if they really want to be with him, not many people would dare, especially in today's complex relationship, how far-reaching will this kind of behavior have? Also immeasurable.

But even so, Yu Qian did it without hesitation.

His meaning is very clear, all he needs is an imperial decree from the emperor to repatriate the Oirat mission, and he will bear everything else, whether it is infamy or criticism!

but……

"Mr. Yu, don't be impatient!"

The voice of the first emperor sounded, and immediately attracted the attention of all the officials.

I saw the emperor's expression was indifferent, his tone was calm, his eyes lightly fell on Qian's body, and said.

"The Oirat mission is naturally going to leave, but since they have come to ask for help, if I, Daming, send them back without any indication, it would be a loss of my status as suzerain."

"Let them stay in the capital for a while. As for Qi Muge, since the Holy Mother and the Supreme Emperor both want her to stay in the palace, then let her stay in the palace."

While talking, the emperor saw a sneer on the face of the emperor, who was rarely seen by the officials. Immediately, the emperor raised his head slightly, his eyes passed through the brightly lit palace city, and fell on a distant place, and said in a calm tone.

"Since the Holy Mother said that I believe that I can stabilize the country and protect the safety of the ancestors, then I can't let her old man down."

The meaning of these words is intriguing, but what is certain is that the emperor has already made up his mind about this matter.

The expressions of all the ministers below were different, especially Yu Qian, who hesitated for a moment and was about to speak to persuade, but unexpectedly, Hu Wei who was beside him spoke first and said.

"Your Majesty is wise and benevolent. Fortunately for the ministers, since this matter has been dealt with, the ministers will leave here."

While talking, he pulled Yu Qian and bowed his hands to salute. Before the latter could react, he backed out.

Shen Yi and Wang Ao at the side looked at each other in blank dismay. In the end, they didn't say much, they also cupped their hands and said.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave..."

Being dragged out of the palace gate by Hu Shangshu, Yu Qian looked like the boss was unhappy, pulled his face and said.

"Uncle Da Zong, this matter..."

Master Hu shook his head, stopped Yu Qian's words, and said.

"Ting Yi, do you have time to go to the old man's house to have a talk?"

It's already past the time to go to the palace, if Yu Qian and others had not had the token to enter and exit the palace gate at any time, it would be difficult to leave the palace.

Looking up at the brightly lit Miyagi, Yu Qian also realized that this is not a place to talk, so he nodded sullenly and said.

"Since that's the case, Yu will bother Uncle Da Zong."

After that, he cupped his hands towards Hu Wei, then turned his head and got on his own sedan chair, and ordered people to rush to Hu Wei's mansion.

However, looking at the figure of Yu Qian getting on the sedan chair and leaving, Hu Wei did not go straight back to his own sedan chair. On the contrary, he turned his head to look at the Wenhua Palace that he had just left, and remembered that when the emperor spoke for the last time, he swept across the room intentionally or unintentionally. With his own glance, Hu Wei seemed to see a certain noble figure in the palace through the gate of the palace.

Afterwards, a wry smile appeared on Mrs. Hu's face, as if he was talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, this is the second time..."

While talking, Hu Yan rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless. If possible, he really didn't want to say anything more to Yu Qian, a stubborn ass, but... well, I have to bow my head under the eaves .

Thinking of his unlucky son-in-law, Hu Yi couldn't help but sigh.

All his life, he was a hard worker.

Thinking of this, Master Hu stepped into the sedan chair, and also rushed towards his own mansion.

At the same time, in the Wenhua Palace.

All the officials left completely, but Zhu Qiyu didn't get up and go back to the harem, but spread out the credential in front of him again, read it carefully, and then asked.

"How is the situation at Nangong?"

To be honest, although what happened today was somewhat beyond his expectations, but after all, the general direction is still under his control.

In other words, in fact, at this time, for Zhu Qiyu, in most cases, even if there are accidents, he still has enough strength to accommodate these accidents.

Wynn arched his hands, took out a tightly rolled note from his sleeve, and handed it to the imperial case without making a sound.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the note, unfolded it, and his expression suddenly became a little brighter.

Wynn stood by, but he didn't dare to ask, but it is conceivable that the content of this note must not be simple.

So, he saw that the emperor put down the note in his hand, raised his head and looked in the direction of Nangong, as if he was talking to himself.

"My Supreme Emperor is really capable of discrediting Daming, this is, I don't even want face!"

Hearing this, Wynn was shocked at the side. It would be terrible if this word got out.

However, the more this happened, the more curious he was about what was written on the note. Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of covering it up, so he just put it on the case.

Wynn raised his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few words, which were written on it.

"Qimuge entered the palace with thirty healthy women and seventy Mongolian servants who had been purified. According to King Bodu, they were all warriors who had followed him for many years."

So Wynn was also surprised.

On the one hand, he was amazed that Wala was able to spend such a large amount of money.

You must know that since the last peace talks, Ming Dynasty has imposed strict restrictions on the number and frequency of paying tribute to Beijing. This time, the Oirat Mission came here in a hurry, so the number is not large, only two to three hundred people.

The mutual market between Daming and Oala is now limited to tea horses. Therefore, for Oirat, paying tribute is a good opportunity to obtain a large amount of supplies through rewards. This is why the number of Oirat missions is increasing. many reasons.

However, Daming's reward is now determined according to the number of people.

Thirty healthy women and seventy attendants, since these people were brought into Nangong by Qi Muge, they naturally wanted to stay in Daming.

In other words, the rewards of these people are gone.

And, more importantly, those Mongolian attendants had already been castrated before entering the palace. To put it bluntly, Wala had premeditated this time.

It can even be said that the purpose of their coming this time is to send Qi Muge into the palace.

As for the other side, it is about the Supreme Emperor.

Wynn was also wondering why the Supreme Emperor insisted on keeping this Mongolian woman. It was really just because of "nostalgia".

But after reading the news, and thinking about what the emperor said just now, he roughly understood it in his heart.

The reason probably lies in the 100 people brought by Qi Muge.

These people were said to be servants of healthy women, but since King Bodu said that they were all warriors, they must not be simple people, at least among Wala, they should be considered brave people.

As for the Supreme Emperor, to put it bluntly, since he returned to the capital, although he seems peaceful, he has been guarding against His Majesty all the time.

To this day, none of the Habayashi guards in Nangong can take a step into the inner courtyard. The Supreme Emperor occasionally goes out for a walk in the palace, and never allows the Habayashi guards to get close, even if the leader of the Habayashi guards is now chosen by himself. However, he still maintains a high degree of vigilance against the forbidden army of Habayashi defenders.

However, it is inconvenient to only have eunuchs and maids in the inner palace, so in all likelihood, the Supreme Emperor insisted on keeping this Mongolian woman because he took a fancy to these "attendants" she brought.

No wonder the emperor said that the Supreme Emperor "doesn't even want to lose face". In the capital of Daming, he didn't trust his own imperial army, but had to trust the guards of foreign races.

The letter is nothing more than a letter, for the sake of these 100 people, not only does it not care whether the relationship between Daming and the grassland will be turbulent because of this, but also spends such a lot of thought, and it is ordered to be canonized, and it is also to go to the Palace of Compassion to persuade the Empress Dowager Sun. I just don't even want to face...
