Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1068 Celebrating the whole world
Having said that, the attitudes of both parties are already obvious.

In the selection of the host of the rectification of the army, the two can reach an agreement that the military ministers cannot. This is why they only mentioned civil servants when they were discussing just now. When it comes to the imperial court, the two must work together on this point. .

However, apart from military ministers, whether it is the Ministry of War, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the Ministry of Punishment is in charge, the two sides are unwilling to make concessions.

Under the premise of excluding the military officials, whose hands this job will fall into, I am afraid it will depend on who is more skilled in front of the emperor.

However, on the way to leave the cabinet and enter the palace together, although Yu Shiyue still had a smile on his face, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

He knew that from the beginning of this round, he was already at a disadvantage.

Wang Ao borrowed the right to divide the votes and created a false scene in front of him, so that he ignored the signs of disputes among civil servants that he should have noticed long ago, and focused all his eyes on Xungui.

Then he waited for work with ease, and waited for him to find the door, and now he took the initiative to ask Wang Ao for help, so he bowed his head first.

At the same time, he wanted to help the Ministry of War to get this job. This purpose has been clearly detected by Wang Ao, but he doesn't know whether Wang Ao's preference is the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Ministry of Punishment. This is not clear. When he spoke in front of the imperial court, he was even more at a disadvantage.

It seems that after these two years of tempering, the chief assistant has indeed become more and more proficient in his methods. Of course, more importantly, he has gone the right way.

In the past, Wang Ao devoted himself to expanding his contacts in the DPRK and gaining greater influence. Even for this reason, he was almost used by Jiang Yuan and capsized in the gutter.

But he neglected that the particularity of the cabinet determines that as the chief assistant of the cabinet, he does not need a wide network of contacts and has absolute influence on the court.

Because the cabinet belongs to the group auxiliary system, no matter how wide his connections are, it is impossible for him to be worth the combined connections of several cabinet ministers in the court. Of course, if he really did this, then he should be worried. What matters is not whether the position of chief assistant can be secured, but to worry about how far he is from the imperial prison.

So in fact, in the case of the palace examination last time, the emperor made such a big move, it was hard to say whether he was warning Wang Ao.

Of course, whether it is a warning or not, Wang Ao is a smart person after all. Since the palace examination case, he has kept a low profile for a long time. The influence of Wang Ao is even stronger, so that Yu Shiyue himself, although he is always careful, still inevitably relaxes and despises Wang Ao.

Now it seems that the Lord Shoufu has not been idle during this time, at least judging from today's events, he has gradually understood what method the Shoufu should use.

To put it bluntly, the position of the cabinet is on the side of the Prime Minister to reconcile the internal and external. It is for this reason that there are so many cabinet ministers. , naturally has an advantage.

As the chief minister, Wang Ao didn't need to be very powerful himself, he only needed to make good use of the power of the cabinet ministers in the court to achieve the purpose of reconciling the internal and external of the cabinet, and he was already considered competent.

As for the specific way, when the emperor promoted the cabinet at the beginning, he actually pointed it out clearly. The chief assistant was able to suppress other cabinet ministers under the same rank. The biggest weapon was the right to vote.

In the past, Wang Ao also used the right to vote, but more often, he divided government affairs into priorities and distributed them to different ministers, just like Zhu Jian. Some complicated and trivial government affairs are easy to make mistakes, but they are not easy to shine.

When Jiang Yuan was still there, Wang Ao would intentionally or unintentionally assign some important government affairs to him, but this was the most superficial usage after all, and people could tell the intention at a glance.

And today's incident made Yu Shiyue realize how to use this voting right...

However, even if you can see it, it is useless.

This is also why Yu Shiyue believes that Wang Ao is finally on the right path. It is within the power of the chief assistant to suppress cabinet ministers with the right to split votes. Therefore, Wang Ao is not afraid of others seeing it, because even if he sees it, unless Drive him out of the position of chief assistant, otherwise, this point cannot be changed.

Since it can't be changed, letting cabinet ministers like Yu Shiyue see his methods will serve as a deterrent instead.

Gently exhaling, Yu Shiyue became vigilant in his heart. During this period of time, he was indeed a little too slack. It seems that in the future, whether in the cabinet or above the court, he must pay more attention to his behavior...

Thinking in this way, the two went hand in hand outside the Wenhua Palace, but to their surprise, the post had been handed in for a long time, but there was still no movement.

Glancing at the sky, the two couldn't help but feel a little strange. According to the time, today should be the time to deal with government affairs, why...

"Your Majesty has returned to the harem?"

Just as he was wondering, the eunuch who had just been sent to deliver the post turned back and told them that His Majesty the Emperor was not in the Wenhua Palace, but had gone back to the Harem.

But this news made Wang Ao even more confused. Now, in broad daylight, what is the emperor going back to the harem for?
Frowning, Wang Ao said.

"Didn't you tell Your Majesty that I have some important government affairs to present to Your Majesty?"

"Say it, Your Majesty said, let the two elders wait."

The servant's respectful answer made Wang Ao's face even more ugly.

Even if something happened to the harem, could it be more important than the government affairs of the court?

For a moment, Wang Ao made up his mind that when the emperor came back, he would persuade him no matter what. However, what he didn't notice was that after hearing the news, Yu Shiyue at the side was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, The look suddenly became a little exciting.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Shiyue asked tentatively, regardless of Wang Ao's expression.

"Everything in the harem is handled by the empress."

"I don't know what happened. Even the Empress can't deal with it. Your Majesty needs to deal with it personally?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ao's expression on the side also changed, as if he realized something, his eyes immediately fixed on the servant who came to report the letter.

Sure enough, after hearing this question, the servant shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, my lords, there is no trouble in the harem. It's just that the Empress suddenly had abdominal pain this morning. She is now in labor. Your Majesty is currently in the Kunning Palace. Therefore, you need to wait."

Although they had expected it, when they actually heard the news, the two were still shocked, and after reacting, their expressions became a little complicated.

"Thank you for telling me, Eunuch, I'll just wait here."

After seeing off the servant who came to report the letter, the two of them fell silent by coincidence, but they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts...

Of course, at this time, Zhu Qiyu didn't have the heart to care about what the two old guys were thinking. All his thoughts were on the tightly closed door of the Nuan Pavilion in front of him.

A woman's childbirth has always been through the gate of hell. Although Wang's is already the third child, Zhu Qiyu still can't help but worry.

This production started in the early morning, and it has been more than two hours till now. The moment Zhu Qiyu got the news, he put down everything at hand and rushed to Kunning Palace.

It should be said that compared with the whole night when Zhu gave birth to Sister Yun last time, these two hours now are nothing at all. However, seeing the maids and servants coming in and out from the side door from time to time, he still couldn't help it. Some anxiety.

However, no matter how anxious he is at this time, there is nothing he can do, he can only wait quietly outside, but, after all, his mood is extremely irritable at the moment. Seeing the emperor like this, all the followers around him are also not arrogant. Dare to come out.

Several doors seem to separate the two worlds.

The inside was in a state of turmoil, there were women screaming in childbirth, the footsteps of Mrs. Wen and her servants back and forth, and the sounds of various objects colliding, intertwined and noisy.

It was quiet outside, not a single sound was heard, and there was even an atmosphere of tension.

"The Empress Dowager is here..."

A shout from outside broke the tranquility of the hall, and soon, Wu's figure appeared outside. Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu calmed down a little, and went up to meet her.

"Meet the concubine mother!"

"How's it going?"

Wu raised her hand to avoid his salute, and asked as she walked in.

So, a trace of worry flashed across Zhu Qiyu's face, and said.

"Emissary Dong Yuan said that there is no serious problem, but the time is not short, and there has been no movement inside..."

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's agitated look, Wu sighed in his heart, his face became slightly serious, and said.

"You also have several children, why are you still so unstable, sit down!"

This tone was a bit familiar, and Zhu Qiyu suddenly recalled some bad memories. Could it be that Wu Shi came here again to persuade him to leave?
Frowning, Zhu Qiyu made up his mind and said.

"Mother..."

"If you want to wait here, you can wait, but if you can't stabilize like this, it will only cause bad things!"

However, as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Mrs. Wu, who saw her complexion darken, her voice slightly stern, and said.

"sit down!"

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, and then sat down beside him according to his temper.

Seeing this situation, Wu said.

"The empress gave birth, and the harem is already in chaos. At this time, you also look panic-stricken. How can the people below not panic?"

"Look at the people in this palace, who isn't afraid to see you like this?"

"If something goes wrong when doing things because of this, who will take care of it?"

"Take back your emperor's aura, and wait carefully!"

After being scolded for a while, Zhu Qiyu calmed down instead, and glanced at the trembling palace maid beside him, he took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said.

"Wynn stay here, other people go about their own business, don't need to serve here!"

As a result, the maids and servants on the side retreated quickly as if they were pardoned. In just a moment, beside Zhu Qiyu, only Huai En and a few servants were left waiting.

At the same time, Zhu Qiyu didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Zhu Qiyu also felt that the palace ladies who came in and out of the palace seemed to be much more relaxed.

He raised his head and glanced at Wu Shi, just in time to meet Wu Shi's eyes, so he opened his mouth and said.

"Thank you, Concubine..."

There are some words, needless to say, between mother and child, it is natural to understand that the little knot that has been difficult to untie before seems to be gradually melting at this moment.

Wu shi gave him a light look, but didn't say much. She turned the Buddhist beads in her hand slightly, looked at Nuan Pavilion at the side, and said indifferently.

"just wait……"

In this way, almost another hour passed, and seeing that the sun was already past noon, a baby cry was finally heard in the Nuan Pavilion.

Although it is not considered loud to be mixed in the noisy Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu still caught it immediately.

At that moment, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, stood up, and quickly walked to the door of the Nuan Pavilion. Not long after, the doors were pushed open, and several women came out carefully holding a little guy, saying .

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the mother and child are safe, you are a prince!"

At this moment, the world seemed to have quieted down. Zhu Qiyu stared at the little baby in front of him, only hearing his not-so-loud cries.

Gently stretched out his hand to hug him, but when he stretched halfway, he took it back, just carefully touched the little face through the swaddle, and said.

"Good, good, good, great."

Letting out a long breath, Zhu Qiyu finally managed to calm down, looked into the Nuan Pavilion, and said while walking forward.

"How is the queen?"

However, as soon as he raised his foot, he was stopped by Liu Huan standing at the door, said.

"Your Majesty, your majesty is fine, but she is a little bit out of strength. Now the blood is too much and it is quite messy. Please wait for the servants to tidy up before asking Your Majesty to go in."

"I'll just go in and have a look..."

Zhu Qiyu kept walking, intending to confuse him, but Liu Huan didn't give way, he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said.

"Your Majesty, this is what the prenatal mother personally ordered."

While talking, Liu Huan looked at Wu Shi, who was also walking towards this direction intentionally or unintentionally, and continued.

"Please don't embarrass your servant."

Seeing that he couldn't get in, Zhu Qiyu felt a little regretful, and looked inside worriedly, but he didn't continue to break in after all.

At the same time, Mrs. Wu followed closely in front of the child, and when she heard the mother-in-law at the side report that she was a prince, her old man's face was filled with joy, she folded her hands together, and said.

"God bless Daming, God bless Daming..."

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, but turned his attention to the little child in front of him again. After such a toss, the little doll seemed a little tired, and fell asleep holding two small fists.

Looking at the little baby who gradually became quiet, Zhu Qiyu's mouth curled up into a smile, but after only a moment, he didn't know what to think, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated. Then, he turned around and spoke.

"Wynn, go out and preach..."

"The birth of the prince is celebrated all over the world. For three days, all places in the capital are exempted from taxes and taxes this year. All ministers of the third rank and above in the court will be given a piece of brocade and 50 taels of silver. The female officials and eunuchs in the palace will be given ten silver coins regardless of their rank. Two, all palace maids who have reached the age of 25 will be released, and they will be allowed to go home and marry themselves!"
