Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 796 Find a way

In the palace, the lights were brightly lit, and it was rare that there were no musicians and dancers. In the huge palace, the Supreme Emperor lived at the top, and the three people below bowed to serve.

It was only after Zhu Yi arrived at the palace that she realized that not only he was summoned by the Supreme Emperor, but also Zhang Wei and Jiao Jing.

"Minister Zhu Yi, kowtow to the Supreme Emperor."

Glancing lightly, Zhu Yi didn't look at it too much, and knelt down on the ground, saluting respectfully.

"Flat body."

Different from his slightly cynical look on weekdays, today's Taishanghuang seems very serious, but he doesn't put too much pressure on people. On the contrary, these simple two words even make people feel a faint cordial.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhu Qizhen felt a little complicated. He wanted to say a lot at the moment, but in the end, he only said one sentence.

"Today, I have wronged you."

Zhu Yi cupped her hands, as sincerely as in the daytime, said.

"Being able to serve the Supreme Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince is a blessing for the minister, and it is also a family motto passed down from generation to generation by the Duke of Cheng."

"Although my father is dead, I dare not forget your Majesty's kindness, and I should try my best to repay it. The noble of a small family is not worth mentioning."

Obviously, Zhu Qizhen was very moved by these words, and said repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, okay, I really didn't misunderstand you, Cheng Guogong's lineage, are all ministers of the country, you enter the East Palace, the safety of the crown prince, I can rest assured!"

So, Zhu Yi immediately knelt down and said.

"Don't worry, the Supreme Emperor, I will do my best to protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

All of a sudden, the monarch and ministers were in harmony, and the atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious. Zhu Yi could clearly feel that the sense of estrangement between herself and the Supreme Emperor had disappeared.

Speaking of which, the battle of civil engineering was actually a situation in which all parties lost, especially in terms of their attitude towards the battle of Yaoerling.

If nothing else, just talk about Zhu Qizhen's views on this war.

Zhu Yi knew very well that the Supreme Emperor in front of him, no matter what he said, was a soft-hearted person who liked to shirk responsibility from the bottom of his heart.

The whole court was accusing Zhu Yong of losing his teacher and humiliating the country, which led to the failure of civil engineering. The character of the Supreme Emperor probably felt the same in his heart.

However, after returning to the capital, he found that the number of people available to him was pitifully small, and under the auspices of the Empress Dowager Sun, the Chengguo government married the British government, so on the surface, he did not show this idea. .

However, Zhu Yi could always feel that the Supreme Emperor didn't really trust him, at least, not the kind of intimate trust.

The most obvious evidence is that the words of Zhang Xiang, Jiao Jing and others are more useful than him in many important matters.

When the Supreme Emperor needs to ask someone for advice, he seldom looks for him.

As a person with a special status, Zhu Yi knew very well that her greatest task was to gain the trust of the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, in order to change this, Zhu Yi made a lot of efforts, including but not limited to, making friends with a certain eunuch in charge of the Nangong Palace, and letting this in-law of the British government speak well of her from time to time, etc.

However, this is a tricky effort. The Taishanghuang has soft ears, but he is not stupid. If he talks too much, it will have a counterproductive effect.

Therefore, Zhu Xiaogong has been keeping a low profile all along, keeping a low profile and waiting for the opportunity.

No, the opportunity is waiting!
First of all, everyone's appetite was raised high, running around, giving performances, and looking for relationships, so that everyone thought that Zhu Yi was going to do his best to regain the title, but who would have thought that at the When this title was within easy reach, everyone suddenly realized that this little prince was actually for the East Palace.

For this kind of thing, whoever changed, don't think this is the real humerus loyal minister?
His hard work during this period of time, coupled with the magical touch of the one on the throne, instantly eliminated all the discomfort in the Supreme Emperor's heart, and made Zhu Yi one of his most trusted ministers.

Of course, sometimes things have to be said after they have been done, otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced.

However, it cannot be said by itself.

At this time, the importance of having an ally is highlighted.

Seeing the scene where Zhu Yi and the Supreme Emperor were in harmony, Zhang Min's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"The Supreme Emperor belongs to the orthodox lineage of the previous emperor. We, a noble family, should serve the Supreme Emperor with all our loyalty. Although the young prince took a risk today, he finally managed to win the infantry equipment for His Royal Highness. It is really a great contribution."

After finishing the words, Jiao Jing on the side couldn't help but grinned, showing his merits without any concealment.

But having said that, Concubine Jiao can also understand Zhang Min's mood.

Cheng Guogong's mansion is now in decline, and the life of the British government is not easy, especially after Ren Li is imprisoned, judging by the attitude of the emperor, he does not intend to let him go.

Now, what they can do to win the game is to help Chengguo Duke's mansion to be rehabilitated. Only in this way, the British Duke's mansion can continue to suppress the group of noble generals underneath.

But watching the opportunity to rejuvenate come, but miss it, how can he not be in a hurry?
Moreover, he was in a hurry, he couldn't say anything, after all, the matter of the crown prince was definitely more important than the title of Duke Cheng's mansion.

After finishing the performance, it is natural to find a way to get to the point.

Glancing at Zhu Yi who had just stood up next to him, a look of regret flashed across Zhang Erye's face, and said.

"However, it's a pity that Cheng Guogong's family is loyal, but in the end, he failed to give Cheng Guo a fair name, and he couldn't help the young prince get back his title."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little gloomy, and the Supreme Emperor frowned slightly, but he still didn't speak.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Min was a little anxious, so he thought about it and continued.

"Your Majesty, I think that we still need to find a way to get back the title for the young prince. Now, everyone in the court knows that the young prince is loyal to you and His Royal Highness. The last time the young prince was appointed to the cabinet for His Royal Highness , was accepted the Danshu Iron Coupon."

"Now the young prince is fighting for the young army for His Royal Highness. Although the emperor is calm now, after returning to the court, he will definitely take action. Without the protection of the title, Cheng Guogong's lineage may be in danger."

What he said was not unreasonable.

After all, if you just look at the surface, Zhu Yi blatantly lost the emperor's face on the high platform and gave the platform to the Supreme Emperor. Although he finally managed to get the young army and entered the East Palace, he offended the emperor to the death.

With the character of the Son of Heaven, it would be strange if he didn't deliberately target him after returning to court.

After the words fell, Zhu Qizhen's face became serious.

He was only concerned about Zhu Yi's loyalty and getting the young army, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

However, he didn't panic, because he originally planned to help Zhu Yi get back the title next.

After all, he has put in so much effort, if he doesn't express anything, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the people below.

However, how to do it is a bit embarrassing...

"What Zhang Qing's family said is reasonable, and this matter cannot be delayed. However, in today's court, you still don't have enough right to speak. You have also seen the attitude of those ministers on the high platform today. They want to replace Cheng Guo. To be fair, this matter may not be easy."

"If you can't justify the name of Chengguo, if you want to inherit the title smoothly, you have to ask the emperor to speak up. But in the current situation, how can the emperor agree to this matter?"

It is one thing to have a plan, but quite another to do it.

Now that things have happened, Zhu Qizhen has to admit that this matter is not easy.

On the high platform, taking advantage of the opportunity of the spring hunting, the group of civil servants still opposed it so strongly, not to mention that after returning to the court, it would be even more difficult to regain the title under the circumstances of deliberate embarrassment.

It should be said that Zhu Qizhen had a clearer understanding of his situation on the spring hunting ground.

Still the same sentence, after all, he has been the emperor for more than ten years. Although foreign wars are not good, he still has a certain grasp of the situation in the court.

For a long time before, the reason why he lived in Nangong and seldom directly interfered with the government was not because he didn't want to, and it wasn't because of the edict issued by Fengtian Palace, but because he knew very well that he, the Supreme Emperor, had an influence in the court. Very empty.

Yes, it is false!

As the Supreme Emperor, and a very cooperative Supreme Emperor who smoothly transitioned the throne, Zhu Qizhen is very clear that his status is very high in name, so in theory, his decree should be no less effective than the real imperial decree .

However, this is only in theory.

Whether it was Dingsheng in the morning and evening before, or leaving Qimuge in Nangong later, it actually proved that his influence was only on paper.

In other words, when it is not issued, this influence exists, but when it is actually issued, it will inevitably be greatly discounted, or even avoided in various ways.

Therefore, he is very wise not to try, even if he does, it is something insignificant.

The matter of the young army was his first truly successful attempt, but he knew very well that it could not be replicated.

After the spring hunting was over, it was difficult for him to find one. The Supreme Emperor and the emperor were present at the same time, and all the envoys from the barbarians were present. Moreover, the emperor had no excuse to procrastinate and needed to make a decision on the spot.

Therefore, regarding the matter of Fujue, it wasn't that he didn't want to speak up, but that even if he did, it would be useless, and it would consume the little influence he had left.

You must know that the most fearful thing about this kind of influence on paper is that it will be implemented in practice.

Before morning and evening, there was also the matter of Qi Muge. One used the 'alternative plan', and the other invited the Queen Mother, and they survived decently.

However, if he meddles too much, he will lose a lot of face if he is pushed back. Moreover, face is still secondary. influence is gone.

So, this kind of thing is really difficult to do!
However, even if it is difficult, it must be done!

Looking at Zhu Yi's slightly gloomy expression below, Zhu Qizhen thought about it, and made a decision in his heart, and said.

"Zhu Yi, you don't have to worry about the title. After returning to the court, I will let Zhang Qing's family and Concubine Jiao figure out a way. You have made such great contributions to the East Palace. No matter what, I will definitely protect your title in the Chengguo Duke's Mansion."

While speaking, Zhu Qizhen seemed to be afraid that Zhu Yi would not believe him, so he turned to Zhang Min and Jiao Jingdao.

"Zhang Qing's family, Concubine Jiao, I know that you have many contacts in the five armies' governor's mansion and among the civil servants. As Zhang Qing's family said, the emperor will definitely target Cheng Guogong's mansion when he returns to court."

"So after returning to the court, regardless of other rights, no matter what method I think of, I want to keep the Duke Cheng's mansion, and I want to get back the title and the iron certificate of the book of pills!"

"Yes……"

Hearing this, Zhang Min was slightly relieved, but his brows were still slightly frowned, as if something was on his mind.

Zhu Yi, on the other hand, thanked her simply and neatly, and said.

"The minister is the generation of Cheng Guogong, thank the Supreme Emperor Long En, and can serve the Supreme Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, not to mention the title, it is this body, so why does Zhu Yi care about it? Let the Supreme Emperor worry about this, I really feel uneasy in my heart, Only by doing our best to be loyal can we repay the kindness of the Supreme Emperor."

What she said again and again made Zhu Qizhen blush a little.

In fact, he also understands that although he has made up his mind and expressed his position, in fact, it is still unknown whether this matter can be done.

So seeing Zhu Yi's excited expression, even with Zhu Qizhen's thick skin, he felt a little uncomfortable.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Zhu Qizhen spoke.

"It's okay, Duke Cheng died fighting for me. This is what he deserves, but this is not an easy matter. If you have any ideas, you can tell them. Even if you want me to tell the emperor in person, that's fine."

Say it yourself... I'm afraid it's better not to say it!

The three people below looked at each other, Zhang Min gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, which may be useful!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't expect that they would be able to come up with a solution immediately, but now seeing Zhang Min standing up, his eyes lit up, he leaned over and asked.

"Oh, what's the plan?"

So Zhang Min took a breath and said.

"Your Majesty, in half a month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will leave the pavilion to study. As usual, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves the Pavilion, the court will celebrate it, and the whole world will celebrate."

"Especially, now that the young master is regarded as a member of the East Palace, he should be rewarded even more. Taking this opportunity, he may be able to take back the title of Duke Cheng's mansion..."

Zhu Qizhen was a little disappointed. He thought that Zhang Min could come up with a good solution, but he didn't expect it to be this way.

The reasoning is not bad, the prince's departure from the cabinet is to be celebrated by the whole world, but the emperor has the final say on how much to celebrate.

If it is bigger, it will amnesty the world; if it is smaller, then it will be a reward for the civil and military officials of the court and it will be over.

Moreover, even if it is a grand event, there are too many rewards, and it may not be rewarded with a title. What's more, Zhu Yi just offended him. What is the chance of such a legitimate and disgusting person? Will you let it go?

However, he didn't say it, but Jiao Jing who was at the side questioned it, said.

"General Zhang, this matter is probably not easy. After all, now that Chengguo's mansion is under the attention of the court, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves the cabinet, I am afraid that he will just give him a reward and dismiss it. If I wait for the admonition , will be impeached instead.”

Hearing this, Zhang Min seemed more and more hesitant, but after glancing at Zhu Yi at the side, he sighed, fell to his knees suddenly, and spoke.

"Your Majesty, of course it's more than that. Since we know that after returning to court this time, the young man will definitely be targeted, then we might as well let the young man suffer some grievances for a while, and at the same time, we will wait... and then..."

"In this way, with two-pronged approach and coercion, we should be able to get back the title for Duke Cheng, but for fear of offending the Tian family, I risked my life to speak out, please forgive me by the Supreme Emperor!"
