Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 103 The world is hot and cold

Cheng Jing is not stupid.

When the emperor was still King Tan, he asked him about Cao Jixiang.

Cheng Jing still remembered the scene at that time. When he mentioned this person, he rarely felt that the emperor had a murderous intent that he couldn't hide.

Although he didn't know why, Cheng Jing could feel that the emperor hated this person very much.

Now the courtiers are impeaching him, logically speaking, Cheng Jing should go along with scolding him, but after thinking about it, Cheng Jing still said cautiously.

"The emperor's lesson, the minister thinks, it's over!"

Zhu Qiyu couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and said lightly: "How do you say?"

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was somewhat cold, Cheng Jing hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and said.

"The minister dared to say, please forgive me, the emperor."

"The crimes impeached by the censor, or the truth, are mostly not owned by him alone, but in fact, the generals and officers supervise the army outside, and they are all tacit."

"If the emperor only deals with him alone, I'm afraid it will be unfair. If he goes to war for him alone, it may affect the smooth situation of the court."

"Besides, no matter what, the suppression of the rebellion went smoothly this time. Cao Jixiang, as the supervisor of the army, doesn't say he has meritorious service, but at least he has no faults."

"If things are done like this, they will be punished. I'm afraid that the eunuchs who are supervising the army outside will put everyone in danger..."

Cheng Jing's words were fairly methodical, but from time to time he secretly looked at Zhu Qiyu's expression, with a look of fear.

He knew that Zhu Qiyu would not like to hear these words, but he couldn't help but say them.

Looking at Cheng Jing's appearance, Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said with a smile on his face.

"We're just talking normally, what are you doing kneeling, get up!"

Who Cheng Jing is, he naturally knows it well.

Although the incident in the previous life has not been clarified yet, Zhu Qiyu still believes in his loyalty due to his various performances up to now.

What's more, the impeachment of Cao Jixiang at this time is already strange, and with Wu's list, since he can see that the Empress Dowager Sun is secretly promoting this matter, he will naturally not be fooled.

The reason is very simple, what the opponent wants you to do must be beneficial to the opponent but harmful to oneself.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu didn't comment on Cheng Jing's words, but continued to ask.

"If I remember correctly, Cao Jixiang was ordered to supervise the army this time, and he should have come back with Ningyanghou. Counting the days, it's time to arrive in the capital, right?"

Cheng Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he couldn't figure out what Zhu Qiyu was thinking, he also understood that the emperor didn't have any thoughts because he just spoke for Cao Jixiang.

So Cheng Jing put his heart back into his stomach and replied.

"Yes, but Cao Jixiang set off a few days earlier than Ning Yanghou and others, and should arrive tomorrow."

Zhu Qiyu seemed to remember something, and asked.

"I remember that some of the censors promoted this time are juniors from your hometown, right?"

Cheng Jing didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to this, he was taken aback before he nodded.

When this matter was mentioned, Cheng Jing's heart was also complicated.

He was originally a Jinshi, a decent scholar, if he hadn't been sent to Shanxi to serve as an official in the Jin Palace, he should have a bright future.

There are several Jinshi in the same class as him, and they are now senior officials of the third rank, but he has been reduced to a eunuch.

Although he was not considered to be powerful or influential in the past few years in the Prince's Mansion, he was still at ease.

But those same-year fellow villagers who had a good friendship with him have become estranged from him, and many of them don't even say hello when they meet.

Nowadays, the world is ups and downs, and the dynasty has undergone great changes. His Royal Highness, who was originally idle, succeeded to the throne. He, the original chief of the Prince's Mansion, has become popular again.

Since the court meeting at Zuo Shunmen that day, more people came to visit him. When the news came out from the court that His Royal Highness King Tan was about to ascend the throne, he received countless invitations every day.

The state of the world and people's hearts are so hot and cold!
Zhu Qiyu didn't notice Cheng Jing's complicated emotions, and said after a moment of pondering.

"In that case, you will tell the cabinet later that these memorials on the impeachment of Cao Jixiang will all be kept."

"Also, think of a way to get some of your juniors from the same village who are censors to come to this chapter to impeach Cao Jixiang."

The so-called staying in the middle school means that it is neither sure nor not sure, and it will not be approved. Usually, staying in the middle school means cold treatment.

Cheng Jing can understand this point, after all, this is not a major matter related to the military and politics, it is a common practice to stay in China.

But while staying in the middle school, he secretly asked someone to impeach him, this...

Boldly, Cheng Jing asked.

"My lord, do you want to make things worse?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded, thought for a while, shook his head again, and said.

"If you look at these bullets carefully, you can actually see that although they are impeachment, they are all about Cao Jixiang's actions during the military supervision. If one or two of them are like this, forget it, they are all So, it’s not that simple.”

Cheng Jing went through the content of these memorials again in his mind, and immediately understood, took a breath, and said.

"You mean, these censors were instructed by someone behind them?"

In today's capital, the only person who would oppose the emperor is the Queen Mother Sun in the palace.

But why would she do this?

Cheng Jing frowned, logically speaking, Cao Jixiang and Wang Zhen had an old relationship, shouldn't Empress Dowager Sun protect him?

Wait, I have an old relationship with Wang Zhen...

Cheng Jing is also a person with a quick mind, thinking of Zhu Qiyu's words just now, the fog in his heart immediately dissipated.

"Could it be that the queen mother wants to divert her attention?"

"Yes, the impeachment of Cao Jixiang at this time is nothing more than trying to make people ignore that he was once a member of Wang Zhen's family. This Cao Jixiang and Wang Zhen's friendship is not very deep. If there is such a disturbance, let him be fooled. gone."

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said.

"However, I just won't let her do what she wants. You can find some censors to play, and you don't need to say anything else. Just impeach Cao Jixiang and Afu Wang Zhen, and do anything wrong."

Cheng Jing clapped his hands and said yes.

But immediately, there was some worry on his face, said.

"Your Majesty, it is easy to impeach Cao Jixiang and Wang Zhen, but after such a commotion, it may not be easy to take down Cao Jixiang!"

Making things big is actually a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause.

With Cheng Jing's eyesight, he figured out that someone was instigating behind this, and it was easy to think that the purpose of these memorials was not just to divert attention.

What's more, I'm afraid they are still subtly giving credit to Cao Jixiang.

Just like what Cheng Jing said at the beginning, the suppression of the rebellion was accomplished. Although the courtiers impeached him for his repeated crimes in the process of suppressing the rebellion, they also revealed this matter at the same time.

Cao Jixiang has meritorious service in supervising the army, even if it was Afu Wang Zhen before, if the merits and demerits are offset, he can still keep safe, but he is just afraid that he will be reused again.

But Cheng Jing had followed Zhu Qiyu for so long, so he could naturally guess that the emperor didn't just want to be idle towards this Cao Jixiang.

Zhu Qiyu stretched his eyebrows, shook his head, and said.

"It's just Cao Jixiang. There are ways to take him down. It's nothing to worry about. I was wondering how to make those courtiers understand what I mean. Then someone handed me a target. What if I don't make good use of it?"

Seeing that the emperor had a plan in mind, Cheng Jing also felt relieved and cupped his hands.

"Then the minister will do it now."

At this time, Xing'an came in from the outside and said: "My lord, Lu Zhong, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, has come to see you."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, signaling Cheng Jing to back down, and then said.

"Call him in..."
