Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1075
In the Wenhua Palace, Yu Qian kept a straight face as usual, telling the Ministry of War the rules and regulations that were finalized after several discussions.

Such a major event must be discussed by the court together. Therefore, after the emperor read the memorial of the Ministry of War, he asked all the officials to express their opinions.

Unsurprisingly, many honorable ministers and military officers expressed their opinions on many details in the regulations, and Yu Qian naturally answered them one by one.

Since he dared to bring it to the court, then Yu Qian must have been fully prepared, there is no doubt about it.

However, to the surprise of the ministers, all the honored ministers present were only discussing some trivial matters, but they did not raise too many objections to the overall thinking and framework of the Ministry of War's charter.

Especially the top dignitaries like the Duke of Cheng and the Duke of England have been standing still, as if they don't care about this matter.

Could it be that they just gave up fighting for control of the rectification military mansion?

Yes, they gave up!

Rectifying the military mansion involved the interests of all parties, so even if it was just a trivial matter, it took an entire hour to gradually sort it out.

Seeing that the discussion had come to an end, many ministers looked at Zhang Min who had provoked the incident at first, but what they didn't expect was that at this time, the other party still had a calm face, and he didn't say anything to question the Ministry of War or Yu Qian meant it.

Soon, seeing the voices of the officials gradually subsided, the first emperor also spoke, saying.

"After the Ministry of War goes down, this charter will be perfected, and it can be implemented in early May. This time, the rectification of the military mansion will be presided over by Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the military mansions and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be in charge. Anyone who finds that the crime is true will be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment. Severe punishment according to the law."

Then, the early morning ended like this...

Until the court retreat, the fierce civil and military disputes expected by many ministers did not occur. The Ministry of War got the presiding power, which was a bit surprising. Even many important ministers in the court had a flash of doubt in their eyes.

However, no matter what, the overall situation has been decided, and His Majesty has said that it is impossible for another accident to happen... right?

"Grandpa, as you expected, this matter has now fallen into Yu Qian's hands. Next, can we do it?"

In the British Duke's residence, after the imperial court, Zhang Min sent someone to invite Zhu Yi to the residence, the two sat down in the study, Zhang Min opened his mouth and went straight to the topic, without the poise of being in court.

However, to his displeasure, Zhu Yi pondered for a while, but still said.

"Second Master, I have to wait a little longer..."

Sure enough, these words successfully made Zhang Min's face darken, and said.

"My lord, that's not what you said before. Could it be that there was an 'accident'?"

There was a hint of mockery in his tone, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi smiled wryly and said.

"Second Master, don't worry, accidents are not counted, but I did get a new piece of news recently. If I make good use of it, I'm afraid it will really make Yu Qian fall into the clouds..."

"what news?"

Zhang Min frowned, suppressed his anger, and asked.

Zhu Yi obviously didn't want to say anything, but judging by Zhang Min's appearance, if he continued to hide it, the two families might break up right before his eyes. Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yi lowered his voice and said.

"According to our agreed plan, we can't do the matter of exposing Yu Qian, and we can't even get involved with the nobles of various families. Otherwise, the civil servants will get caught and fight, which is hard to deal with."

"However, it's not appropriate for Mr. Zhu Ge to be high-profile now, so if I can't wait, I'm afraid it's not easy to find someone with weight among the ministers of the court to participate in the performance, and I'm afraid it won't cause any trouble if the official position is low, so In the end, I went to find Lord Xiang!"

"Prince Xiang?"

Zhang Yu was a little surprised. He knew that Zhu Yi had the idea of ​​using his clan, but he always thought that Zhu Yi's goal was King Yi. After all, King Yi and Yu Qian had a lot of enmity, but later, Zhu Yi The ten princes' mansion hit a wall, and with the fact that all the kings left the capital one after another, he thought that Zhu Yi had rejected this idea, but he never thought that Zhu Yi had shifted his target to King Xiang.

only……

"Prince Xiang is willing to participate in the government for this matter? You have to know, that's Yu Qian..."

If it was King Yi, Zhang Yu felt that there was still some possibility, but King Xiang, he really couldn't think of any reason for him to participate in this matter.

But this, Zhu Yi didn't want to elaborate, just said.

"You don't have to worry about this second master. Prince Xiang has already agreed. However, when I was discussing this matter with Prince Xiang, I accidentally learned a piece of news. It was this news that made me decide to wait for a while before doing anything."

"Second Master, do you still remember that the Dai Wang Ye blocked the door of the Household Department because of the transfer of the feudal vassal, and then His Majesty summoned the kings and Shen Shangshu of the Household Department to have an audience together?"

"It's natural..."

Zhang Min nodded, the door of the dignified household department was blocked, who would not know such a thing.

"If you want to say that this generation of princes is indeed bold, he dared to block the door of the household department, and it was really useful. Not only did his majesty never lower his responsibility, even after he left the palace, the household department did not continue to hold back on this matter. , It is said that the preparations for the construction of the palace in Zhangzhou are already underway."

So, a mysterious smile appeared on Zhu Yi's face, and said.

"Does the second master know that apart from the transfer of the feudal vassal, what did the kings and Shen Shangshu talk about in the palace that day?"

This……

Zhang Min was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi told the news she had learned in detail. After listening to it, Zhang Wei was suddenly surprised.

"Huangzhuang?"

He has heard this word before, it is said that it seems to be the private farm of Zhuangzi before the emperor ascended the throne, why now, he has something to do with the vassal king, and...

"What does this have to do with Yu Qian?"

So Zhu Yi continued to explain.

"Prince Xiang didn't go into details about this matter, but from a few words, one can infer a key point. This Huangzhuang will be spread to various feudal lands. The source of the land is the military and official land that was acquired this time. Therefore, This matter needs to be coordinated by the household department.”

"And this is why I want Second Master to wait a little longer."

Zhang Min frowned, but after thinking about it, he understood.

Before rectifying the military settlements, although most of the recovered land was military land, because the tenants who were originally farming were involved, in order to stabilize the period, most of the land was managed according to official land and was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the household department. Turned into military field.

Therefore, it is appropriate to find the Ministry of Accounts for this matter.

However, he still couldn't figure out what this had to do with Yu Qian, so Zhu Yi further explained.

"Second Master, please think about it. Although these military fields are now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, they will still be returned to the Ministry of War after they are gradually transferred to farming. But now, His Majesty wants to set up Huangzhuang and incorporate these fields into it. Although the management of the king is said to be another eunuch to supervise, it is considered to have returned to the hands of the vassal king after all, just for this point alone, how can Yu Shaobao, who has been running around for more than a year in order to rectify the army, be reconciled?"

After finishing these words, Zhang Min immediately lifted his spirits and said.

"That's right. With Yu Qian's character, he will definitely oppose this matter."

So, Zhu Yi smiled and said.

"I heard Prince Xiang's tone. His Majesty has already made a promise in front of several princes. The princes who have returned to the feudal land have already started preparations. Therefore, even if it is for the sake of face, His Majesty will not be concerned about this matter." If you want to make a concession, then, Er Ye thinks, if His Majesty insists on doing it, and Yu Qian insists on opposing it, what will be the result?"

"exactly……"

Zhang Min couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, and said.

"With Yu Qian's character of not turning back if he doesn't hit the south wall, he will definitely have a direct conflict with the emperor, and maybe even quarrel at the court. In this way, no matter how good-tempered the emperor is, he will definitely not bear it any longer."

"If at this time, Prince Xiang participates in the impeachment of Yu Qian and gives him a handle, then the emperor will not forgive him when he is furious!"

Therefore, Zhu Yi nodded and smiled.

"It's not just that simple. Second Lord, think about it. In this court, His Majesty just entrusted Yu Qian with the job of rectifying the military mansion. It can be said that he has the utmost trust, but when he turned his head, Yu Qian and His Majesty confronted each other. I'm afraid that in His Majesty's heart, there is a hat of being proud of his achievements and failing to live up to the grace of the king, and he may not be able to escape no matter what."

"Besides, with this matter in front of us, it will be more justifiable for Prince Xiang to impeach Yu Qian. No one will guess that we are behind the influence."

Hearing these explanations, Zhang Xiang was finally relieved, but it was only for a moment before he became a little worried again, said.

"I just don't know how long it will take. If the time is too long and the Ministry of War really starts to handle this matter, it may be too late..."

Zhu Yi pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"If there are no accidents, it should be these few days. After all, the kings have returned to the domain now. If the delay is too long, I am afraid that the kings will also be suspicious, which is not beautiful."

"Um……"

Zhang Min nodded lightly, did not mention this matter again, but talked about another matter, said.

"Last time, you were going to select a guard for His Highness the Crown Prince. During this time, has there been any progress?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yi smiled wryly and said.

"There is progress. However, as we expected, His Majesty is still quite resistant to the matter of honor guards. Therefore, Zhan Shifu is still dragging his feet. However, I have already drawn up the roster. Zhan Shi Even if the government delays, it won't last long, and in a few days, I will hand over the roster."

"That's good. In the final analysis, His Royal Highness is the foundation. Once the young army is established and the honored guards are established, the position of the East Palace can be stabilized..."

Zhang Min twirled his beard and nodded.

However, what he said surprised Zhu Yi a little. He thought that when Zhang Xiang mentioned this matter, he wanted to recruit some people among the guards, or else he would use the selection of guards as a follow-up Checks and balances to rectify the military government.

But in the end, this second master Zhang didn't mention anything?

With this in mind, Zhu Yi decided to test it out, said.

"Speaking of this matter, I have some hesitation in one place, and I would like to ask the second master to help me go into details..."

"Oh, there are still things that the Duke of the country can't solve? You might as well talk about it."

Perhaps it was because the things he had been planning had finally come to fruition, so at this moment, Zhang Xiang's mood was also relaxed, and there was a bit of ridicule in his tone.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi said.

"Second Lord knows that I owed many honorable persons due to the previous restoration of the title. This time, I took this opportunity to repay some of the honors. They are all playboys, so the standard card is still stricter, so there are still some places that are not full."

"In recent days, many nobles have come to the door, wanting to force people in, and everything else is easy to say, but there is one person who came up inside, but it makes me hesitate..."

"Who?"

Hearing what Zhu Yi said, Zhang Min became interested and asked.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yi spit out a name.

"Wu Xing!"

After hearing these two words, Zhang Min frowned.

The governor knew Wu Xing and worked with him in the military government. Of course, Zhang Xiang was no stranger to this man, but it was precisely because he was no stranger that he felt strange.

Because although this person does not have a title, he is a member of Dingguo Duke's Mansion.

Nowadays, there are several mansions in Beijing, aside from the mascot of Lord Fengguo, the one with some prestige is the mansion of Dingguo. very few times.

On the side of the British government, there is still Zhang Min who is supporting him, but at the Dingguo government, two brothers died of illness one after another, leaving behind a few half-grown children, who can only rely on the old lady to barely support them, so they have always kept a low profile very.

If there is anything that has been done, it is probably that before, in the process of rectifying the military settlements, several honorable families, under the leadership of Dingguo Mansion, took the initiative to show their favor to the emperor, and reported a large number of fields to the emperor. The rectification of the army has made a good start.

Later, because of this incident, the emperor issued a decree to reward Dingguo's mansion. At that time, Zhang Yu and others were still speculating whether the Dingguo's mansion had been secretly wooed by the emperor, otherwise, they would not have sacrificed so much big benefit.

Of course, as the action of rectifying the military settlements became more and more serious and developed later, the first group of nobles who followed the government of Dingguo to report the land were glad that they took it out early and could redeem it according to the court's regulations. , if it is seized later, it will be truly lost, but this is all for a while.

After all, this matter has been settled, and at this time Wu Xing came to the door...

"Wu Xing came here for Dingguo's mansion? Could it be that Dingguo's mansion also wants to send a few people into the East Palace Xunwei?"

Zhang Min frowned and asked.

Zhu Yi nodded and said.

"That's true, but Dingguo's mansion didn't come directly, and the nobles who are close to Dingguo's mansion didn't show up, they just sent Wu Xing over, probably because they were not sure and wanted to test it out first. My mouth."

"So, I didn't give him a specific answer, I just said to think about it for a few days."

"Since the second master mentioned this matter today, I just want to ask the second master to help me with my advice. Should I agree to this matter?"
