Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 799 He's really in trouble!

In the palace, there was silence, everyone lowered their heads, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Seeing the gloomy face of the Son of Heaven, Shu Liang immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed.

"The emperor calms down. It's the servants who neglected their duties. They failed to find out about this in time and let Bodu escape. Please forgive me."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, and he finally calmed down.

This matter was indeed beyond his expectation.

Of course, what was unexpected was not Zhu Qizhen's actions. Zhu Qiyu had already known his temperament for this elder brother of the Supreme Emperor. He would not be surprised by what kind of things such a person did.

What really surprised him was that Bodu actually chose to escape. You must know that he came here as an envoy this time. This kind of behavior will undoubtedly make the relationship between Daming and Wala worse.

However, he would rather take this risk and leave the capital overnight, there must be some reason that he does not know.

After calming down, Zhu Qiyu immediately ordered.

"Let Lu Zhong take three thousand Jinyi guards out of the city overnight to chase them back. In addition, eight hundred li hastened to send orders to all the towns to strictly patrol and check the people entering and leaving. If they encounter suspicious people, they will be detained immediately. If you find any traces of Bodu, escort him back to Beijing immediately."

"Yes."

Shu Liang took the order and hurried down to deliver the decree.

Not long after, Lu Zhong, who was busy in the world, also rushed over, and at the same time, there were a group of ministers following him.

Such a big event happened, especially when Hu Wei and the others were still present when Shu Liang was speaking, so it was natural that they couldn't hide it.

However, Zhu Qiyu thought about it, but he didn't see anyone. He just ordered someone to spread the word that everything will be discussed after returning to Beijing, and a group of elders were blocked back.

As a result, the martial arts performance on the second day became dull.

You know, this martial arts performance was originally added to frighten Oirat, but in the end, Bodu ran away, and the whole staff of Oirat's mission were also detained.

The civil and military ministers of the imperial court, although they did not get the exact news, the rumors had been spread for a long time, so they were naturally not in the mood, and the two emperors on the throne were obviously absent-minded.

Of course, there are also calm events. For example, the Supreme Emperor, who lives comfortably on the throne, is even in the mood to comment on the skills of the martial arts disciples below.

But in general, the atmosphere was depressing, and it couldn't be compared with the hunting on the first day.

After finally coming back to Beijing, a group of ministers immediately handed over signs to see you.

So, on the second day of returning to Beijing, the six ministries and seven ministers, the cabinet ministers, and Jing Anbo, who was in charge of the Beijing camp, were arranged to receive Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping, who was in charge of receiving the Oala envoys, and Feng Guo, who was in charge of beating side drums in the court every day. Gong Lixian and others gathered in the Hall of Martial Arts.

However, these elders had just finished their salutes, and when they raised their heads, they saw the cold face of the emperor on the throne, and their hearts tightened immediately.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven didn't make a fool of himself, and just said it straightforwardly.

"You must have heard of what happened two days ago. The day before yesterday, diarrhea occurred in many envoy camps. Bodu of the Oirat Mission took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Nanyuan without a trace."

"After I heard the news, I immediately ordered someone to hunt him down, but it was too late. I just got the news this morning that Bodu had already escaped from a border pass."

The scene suddenly became gloomy. In fact, the ministers had already prepared for this result.

Since Bodu escaped, he would naturally not be unprepared.

To arrest this kind of person, generally speaking, closing the city gate at the beginning is the most useful.

However, when Bodu ran away, he was in Nanyuan, not in the city.

Again, after Emperor Taizong moved the capital, the distance between the capital and the border was too short. If you take the official road, even if you don’t have to rush for [-] miles, you can ride a horse and gallop, and you will be there in a day at most.

If it is a large group of people, it is better to say something, it is easy to identify and intercept.

However, Bodu only brought a few guards with him, and they were easygoing. If they didn't reveal their identities, it would be very difficult to hunt them down.

After all, taking advantage of the darkness, no one knows which way he is going. Moreover, the border between Daming and the grassland is very long. No matter how many troops there are, it is impossible to defend everywhere. There will be grassland tribes who dare to come and plunder.

It is actually not difficult for a few people to want to escape from Daming non-stop when they have the upper hand.

Of course, the biggest reason is that no one thought that Bo would flee at this time.

You know, although Aso has provoked the Oirat mission since he arrived in the capital, after all, Oirat has re-established a tribute with Daming, so in theory, as a Bodu tribute envoy, as long as he is in the capital, he can Nothing will happen.

It's just a performance of martial arts, at most it will be injured and lose face. Although the political significance is strong, it will not make him abscond overnight.

Because of this, Daming didn't take precautions against this matter, and he took advantage of such a loophole.

However, even so, there are still two problems...

"Your Majesty, I don't know something. Nanyuan is heavily guarded, and there are forbidden soldiers on duty at every exit. How can Bodu leave Nanyuan with ease?"

"From the capital city to the border, in such a short period of time, it is impossible for Bo to walk through the barren mountains and wild mountains. He must take the main road. Then, where did he get the road lead, so that he can escape the interrogation along the way?"

As a charge expert in the court, Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was the first to ask questions.

Of course, one of the reasons why Mr. Wang came out so quickly is also related to the rumors that have spread in the past two days.

It is said that on the night when Bodu escaped, several imperial guards on duty had already been imprisoned, but, after all, there were too many people at that time, and many things could not be hidden.

Therefore, many ministers present basically heard the rumors that Bodu disguised himself as an eunuch, and then left Nanyuan smoothly after taking the imperial decree from the Supreme Emperor.

Most of the reason why the elders were anxious to see the emperor that night was also for this reason.

If this matter is true, then it is no small matter to let the Vala nobles escape privately!

Therefore, all eyes followed Wang Tianguan's words and focused on the emperor.

Hearing these two questions, the emperor sighed and said.

"All the ministers are important ministers of the country, and I have nothing to hide. On that day, when Bodu left Nanyuan, he was indeed holding the emperor's document."

"However, after leaving Nanyuan, he didn't use it again. Jin Yiwei checked all the way and found that all the way Bodu fled back to the grassland used forged guides and identity documents."

Speaking of this matter, Zhu Qiyu was also a little helpless.

Daming's household registration system should be considered strict enough, but no matter how strict the system is, it will eventually need people to implement it.

Bodu left this time, apparently well prepared, not only had forged guides, but also took away a lot of gold and silver.

The so-called money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and it is really not difficult to let the little officials who inspect the road guide raise their hands to let a pile of gold and silver go down.

Zhu Qiyu didn't make it too clear, but how could all the ministers present not know about the key point in the middle, and upon hearing this, they could only sigh with regret.

However, at this moment, Zhu Qiyu spoke again, saying.

"However, according to the report of the inspecting guards, when the camp was chaotic, Bodu had been near the palace. At that time, he was wearing Mongolian noble robes, and he neither rode a horse nor brought too many things. On the bodies of several followers, There is only a small burden."

"At that time, the guard on duty in the palace asked, and Bodu said that it was a tribute he wanted to give to the Supreme Emperor..."

The emperor's words stopped abruptly, and the hall became quiet.

This is almost a statement.

The time between the chaos in the camp and the eunuch sent by the emperor to summon Bodu was not too long. Even if the guides and identity documents could be faked, it is impossible for the forbidden army to fail to recognize the imperial edict after they have been in the palace for a long time. .

This kind of thing, from materials to seals, cannot be easily forged, not to mention, even if it can be forged, horses and clothes and shoes disguised as eunuchs are not easy to find.

Once there is a big commotion in Bodu, it will be discovered immediately.

He was able to leave Nanyuan so silently, it could only show that someone was helping him!
As for who this person is...

"Your Majesty, the minister risked his life to remonstrate. The Supreme Emperor privately manipulated the leader of Wala, which was an act that disregarded the overall situation of the court. Moreover, Wala came to pay tribute, which belongs to the court affairs. The Supreme Emperor has repeatedly summoned it. The edict is inconsistent."

"Now that this is even more important, it can be seen that there must be treacherous people by the side of the Supreme Emperor, sowing discord between the Tian family. Although His Majesty cares about the love of relatives and brotherhood, you should not let it go in vain."

"Your Majesty, I implore you to thoroughly investigate the top and bottom of the Nangong Palace, and at the same time, order the various ministers. From now on, in all affairs in the world, if you involve government affairs, you must get the emperor's jade seal, and if you involve the harem, you must see the queen's phoenix seal. Up and down, there will be chaos."

Sure enough, in the end, it was Wang Tianguan who lived up to expectations and took the lead in attacking.

It has to be said that it is not unreasonable for Mr. Wang to be appreciated by the emperor...

If something happens, he's really good!

He was the only one who dared to speak like that.

In these words, he first accused the Supreme Emperor of interfering in the government affairs, and made it clear that the Supreme Emperor was violating the agreement he had made with the emperor and his officials when he returned to the court.

Then he said that there are traitors and sycophants beside the Supreme Emperor. This is a common method used by ministers. Everyone knows in their hearts that the so-called taboo is to save face for the court.

However, Mr. Wang's rank is naturally extraordinary when used.

He not only said, but also acted, a thorough investigation of Nangong and the true purpose of this old man.

To put it bluntly, although it is said that the Supreme Emperor was bewitched by others, what Wang Tianguan really meant was...

Your Majesty, you are giving the Emperor too much face!
In fact, from the perspective of the outer court, the emperor has always been very respectful and dedicated to the elder brother of the Supreme Emperor, not to mention food, clothing, housing and transportation. During several big festivals, the courtiers have a deep understanding of the luxury of Nangong.

In addition, there are plenty of staff to serve, except for those sent in by the emperor, and the eunuch maids arranged by the Holy Mother of the Harem, the emperor did not stop him.

Even, in order to protect Nangong, a guard of the imperial guard was specially added, and without any grievances, the command of this imperial guard was handed over to Meng Jun, who was close to the emperor.

These many actions have already done everything that can be done, and the words "Tianjiaheharmony" are not just words.

Of course, for the bigwigs in the imperial court, they know more.

From the previous grand ceremonies and some incidents in these days, these elders can see that the emperor does not wait to see the Supreme Emperor in his heart, and even reveals his precautions in many places.

However, being in a high position, they naturally have a deeper understanding of the court.

If the Son of Heaven is not on guard against the Supreme Emperor, that would be a strange thing. Being on guard is not a problem, as long as the face is decent, the bosses are unwilling to get involved in the royal family.

This is also the reason why the elders are very tolerant of the emperor's occasional little willfulness.

However, even from the perspective of these elders, the Son of Heaven is actually kind enough to the Supreme Emperor.

After all, there are not no Supreme Emperors in the past dynasties, but Nangong is the only one who can receive such treatment.

But to put it bluntly, in fact, for the bosses, the harmony of the Tianjia is for the world to see, and it is enough to maintain this appearance. As for the real harmony, no one actually cares.

The so-called thorough investigation of Nangong implies that it actually strengthens the control over Nangong. The treacherous and sycophantic people are naturally the confidantes of the Supreme Emperor in Nangong.

What Wang Tianguan meant was actually to replace all the confidantes of the Supreme Emperor. In this way, the troubles in Nangong could not be hidden from the emperor, and naturally such things would never happen again.

Of course, this kind of action is a small way after all, and it cannot be brought to the table.

Therefore, Wang Tianguan added double insurance, and the last two sentences were short of clearly saying that he asked the emperor to issue an order so that Yousi could ignore the emperor's edict.

Usually, when these words are spoken, it will definitely cause an uproar, but this time, the elders in the court are looking at their hearts, as if they didn't hear.

It should be said that the matter of Bodu was just an introduction. Even if there was no such matter, the Supreme Emperor's interference with the young army of the Eastern Palace in the Spring Hunting Field would be enough to arouse the vigilance of the courtiers.

In fact, before this incident happened, many ministers had already planned to go to the emperor and limit Nangong's power after returning to Beijing, but most of them were not as radical as Wang Wen.

However, with the incident of Bodu, they realized that they could no longer let the Supreme Emperor go on messing around.

As Wang Wen said, if this continues, the court will definitely be disrupted by the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, although Wang Wen's words were harsh, none of the ministers below had any intention of coming forward to object.

So it’s still the same sentence. It’s the first time to look through the history books about the relationship between today’s family. is a state of ambiguity.

If you want to divide this state clearly, you can only see the tricks, pull each other in the continuous actual accumulation, and constantly explore a boundary.

Of course, in this process, there will definitely be all kinds of bad things.

There was some silence in the hall, a group of elders didn't want to get involved in this matter, and Wang Wen seemed a little thin by himself, if Zhu Qiyu agreed so immediately, it would seem a little eager.

After such a delay, two servants came in suddenly, and then Wynn came forward to report.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Ruan Lang is outside the palace, saying that he came here on the orders of the Supreme Emperor and asked to see His Majesty!"
