Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1076
Should I agree?
Faced with this question, Zhang Min said without any hesitation.

"Of course I agree, why not?"

Such a straightforward answer made Zhu Yi even more suspicious.

So, he went on to explain.

"Second Master, it's not that I don't want to be part of these honorary guards, but you know that Dingguo's mansion is from there. If they let their people enter the honorary guards, it will be for the emperor to install people. Opportunity."

As she spoke, Zhu Yi frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and said slowly.

"Besides, since the old Dingguo Duke left a few years ago, the Dingguo Mansion has not been involved in government affairs very much in the past few years. At this moment, they suddenly want to arrange people to enter the Xunwei. I always feel that things are not that simple... "

Seeing this situation, Zhang Min's expression became serious, and he asked.

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Yi murmured, as if thinking about what to say, and after thinking about it for a long time, he spoke.

"Second Master, you and I are considered relatives by marriage, so I'll just say some things directly. You and I should know the strength and status of the noble families in Beijing."

"Now the Jing'an House, Duke Feng's House, and other houses seem to be full of flowers, but after all, their background is much worse."

"In this capital city, the ones that really count as the most important ones are actually nothing more than you and my two families, plus Dingguo Gongfu."

"It's just that, due to various reasons in Dingguo's mansion, you and I have always been the head of the court these years, but now the situation has changed drastically. I am young and I can't hold back the situation. The British mansion This side is being suppressed by the emperor again, this is a good opportunity for Dingguo's government to rise..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Min's expression changed slightly.

He may not be clear about other things, but as a person who grew up in the noble houses since he was a child, he can be said to know the origin of the status of the noble families in Beijing.

Dingguo's mansion itself is inherently deficient, it came from surrender, and most of the people attached to him are surrender generals, so from the root, they are not reused.

Therefore, from the Taizong dynasty to the Xuanzong dynasty, among the military officials, the British government and the Chengguo government were always in power, and the Dingguo government had almost no sense of existence.

However, this does not mean that Dingguo's government has no strength. On the contrary, even if it is not reused, the connections in the court accumulated over the years are not shallow.

What's more, now that the times have changed, everyone has been honored for many years, and the older generation has already passed away, so it is meaningless to talk about whether they returned or not.

So for the Dingguo government, it is the best opportunity to participate in the imperial court now.

On this point, Zhu Yi was right.

And in the current court, there is just a good opportunity for the Dingguo government to rise.

"Military mansion?"

Zhang Min frowned, although it was a question, his tone was very firm.

Xunwei and so on, although important, but after all, it is the matter of the younger generation, the accumulation of seniority is nothing more, and the real judgment of Xungui's strength depends on the influence in the military mansion.

This is also the reason why although Zhang Fu died, the British government was always regarded as the most powerful residence of the military officials in the court.

Now that the rectification of the military mansion is imminent, no matter who is in charge, the entire military mansion will definitely face a major reshuffle in the end.

Dingguo's mansion is not stupid, so it must be very clear that this kind of opportunity does not come from time to time.

Zhu Yi nodded lightly and said.

"The matter of Xunwei, I'm afraid it's just a test. I always feel that Dingguo's move is to get a share of the reorganization of the military mansion later."

"That's why I hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to reply Wu Xing."

"What does Second Master think?"

Hearing this, Zhang Min's face was a little cloudy and uncertain, as if he was struggling with something, but his expression made Zhu Yi even more aware that something was wrong.

You know, since orthodoxy, the military mansion has always been the territory of the British government. Otherwise, Zhang Xiang would not have been so angry when Ren Li secretly colluded with other officials, and now he would not be so impatient to want to take the position.

It doesn't matter if they want to keep Zhang Fu's power, or they are afraid of the decline of the British government, but after all, the military government is the core interest of the British government. In detail, it is even more important than the Beijing camp.

After all, the defense of the capital and the capital of the capital has always been the most trusted minister of the emperor to be the admiral, and it is not exclusive to any one.

But the military mansion is different, it has always been a place of contention among various forces, so this is what Zhu Yi feels is wrong.

You know, when Wang Qin was promoted before, Zhang Yu almost turned his back on him, but now that he knows that Dingguo's mansion intends to plot against the military mansion, Zhang Yu is so calm, what is he hesitating about? ?
Zhu Yi thought so in his heart, secretly paying attention to Zhang Fu's every move, but Zhang Fu didn't notice that Zhu Yi was testing him. After pondering for a while, he unexpectedly asked Zhu Yi.

"Master Guo, from your point of view, if we are willing to let Duke Ding's mansion take a share of the pie when the military mansion is rectified in the future, is it possible to win those families over to our side?"

Zhu Yi blinked her eyes, and then understood that Zhang Min was referring to a few powerful nobles in Beijing who had always been close to Dingguo's mansion.

Pressing the surprise in her heart, Zhu Yi thought for a moment, shook her head lightly, and said.

"I'm afraid not."

After finishing the words, Zhu Yi could clearly see a look of disappointment flashing across Zhang Min's face.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi considered her words and continued.

"The second master should understand that no matter how weak Dingguo's mansion is these years, it is the Duke's family after all. No matter how great the benefits are, it is impossible for them to listen to my orders."

However, upon hearing this, Zhang Min was taken aback for a moment, and then waved his hands.

"Master, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"Dingguo's mansion is also a mansion after all, I'm not so naive if I want them to bow their heads and become ministers..."

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi's eyes flashed, and she pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"The second master means..."

As a result, Zhang Min's face became serious, and said.

"I mean, can Dingguo Mansion support the Supreme Emperor or His Royal Highness? Even if it doesn't work, it's okay to help us in the future court situation."

These words are not intended to be a joke at all, it can be seen that Zhang Min does have this idea.

It should be said that this is not surprising, but it is worth thinking about it from Zhang Erye's mouth.

You must know that in the Supreme Emperor's party, the dominant position of the British government has been faintly threatened by Zhu Yi, not to mention that although Jiao Jing and others have been quiet recently, that is because the Holy Mother has returned to Beijing since the Supreme Emperor , no longer interfering in political affairs, if it comes to face in front of the Virgin, the British government is even worse.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yu actually wanted to win over a Dingguo mansion that he could not control, which was really different from the Zhang Wei that Zhu Yi knew.

It's not that it's wrong to win over Dingguo's government, but that once Dingguo's government joins in, it will definitely not be restrained by Zhang Wei, and at most it will only be subject to the emperor's will. In this way, the British government is in the party of the emperor. status will only decline.

However, knowing this, Zhang Xiang still wanted to do this. This is really different from his usual style, not to mention, this second master Zhang is willing to let Duke Dingguo occupy the military mansion. A seat, which is so unusual...

Thoughts turned in her mind, but Zhu Yi said calmly on her face.

"This is not clear, but looking at the previous style of Dingguo's mansion, I'm afraid it's difficult, not to mention their always wise and self-protecting attitude, just talking about their favor after the current emperor ascended the throne, it can be seen that Dingguo On the side of the Duke's Mansion, they tend to be Qianqing Palace, if you want to win them over, it may not be easy..."

Hearing this remark, Zhang Min was really disappointed again, sighed, and said.

"That's right, staying away from the court has the advantage of staying away from the court. At least now, no one will regard Dingguo's mansion as the emperor's confidant. In this way, Dingguo's mansion has a lot more options. This point is different from yours and mine."

"Since that's the case, then Wuxing..."

Zhu Yi's eyes flickered, and she continued to ask.

This time, Zhang Min hesitated for a long time, but at the end, he still spoke.

"Go ahead."

This answer was once again beyond Zhu Yi's expectation, as if realizing that Zhu Yi would be puzzled, Zhang Min explained in a deep voice.

"Although it is not easy for the Dingguo government to rely on the Supreme Emperor, it is also good to have a good relationship. His Royal Highness is currently weak, and the status will be more stable if the Dingguo government is excluded. In addition to Xunwei, it pushed them to the side of Qianqing Palace."

"I have thought about it carefully these days, and I think what Zhu Ge said before is justified. The Eastern Palace has a great reputation. No matter what the position is, as long as you become an official of the Eastern Palace, you will be one with His Royal Highness. , even if you have other schemes in your heart, after all, you must not harm His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise, you will be a treacherous person."

"So, even if you can't win it over, as long as a child of Dingguo's mansion enters the East Palace, he will be scruples about His Highness the Crown Prince when he acts in the future. This is a good thing, there is no need to stop it..."

When these words came out, Zhu Yi was even more surprised.

It's fine if other people say so, but Zhang Erye, when did he become so understanding?
Sighing, Zhu Yi was a little dissatisfied, and said.

"However, Duke Dingguo's mansion is obviously betting on both sides. While showing favor to Qianqing Palace, it also wants to rely on His Highness the Crown Prince, and even wants to intervene in the military mansion."

"That is to say, looking at the complicated situation between the DPRK and China, so I want to have both sides. I hate that I have made so much effort before, but now, I want to let them get a share of the pie for nothing?"

"My lord, the overall situation is the most important thing!"

Seeing that Zhu Yi was a little impatient, Zhang Min tried to persuade him, and immediately, a strange look appeared on his face, and said.

"Speaking of which, Duke Ding's move is indeed suspected of being a fisherman's profit, but Mr. Guo, you don't have to be so angry, maybe..."

Seeing Zhang Yu's thoughtful expression, Zhu Yi said inwardly that she was not good, she was too probing, and she was afraid that Zhang Yu would notice something...

However, Second Master Zhang is Second Master Zhang after all, and he performed steadily as always. He looked up at Zhu Yi with a clear expression, and said.

"Could it be that Duke Cheng is afraid that Duke Ding's involvement will affect the status of Duke Cheng in the court?"

"If this is the case, there is no need. In the final analysis, Duke Ding's mansion is just trying to get some soup. After all, there is no real person in charge in their mansion. When the little Duke Ding grows up, the court structure may have already been settled. , you and I unite the two governments, are you still afraid that he will fail the Dingguo government, which has been weak for a long time?"

"I hope so..."

Zhu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she still had doubts, she didn't dare to probe any further. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she left the British government.

At the same time, dry up the palace.

Zhu Qiyu also received a report from Shu Liang, and he naturally knew the reason for the doubts reported by Zhu Yi.

However, he was more concerned about another matter.

"You said that the Supreme Emperor asked Zhang Min to bring a few eunuchs out of the palace, and also asked Xu Youzhen to meet him in a few days? Did you say what day it is?"

Shu Liang nodded and said.

"Returning to the emperor, it is true. The few people who were sent to the British government by the emperor were all dedicated to the emperor when Bodu came to Beijing. Therefore, there is no way to put eyeliner in."

"However, the servants have found out a piece of news, that is, although these people have entered the Nangong Palace, they are said to listen to the words of Qi Muge, the female official next to the Supreme Emperor. They all ordered him to accompany him, even when Zhang Xiang secretly met with him, he did not back away."

"As for Mr. Xu, Zhang Min just said that the Supreme Emperor wants to see him, but because he will be summoned in secret, he needs to wait for the right time. The exact date is unknown..."

After hearing these words, Zhu Qiyu's mouth showed a trace of mockery.

He didn't know whether he should say that his elder brother was smart or stupid. Qi Muge came to him and made it clear that it was a chess piece sent by Bodu. Intervention and attitudes towards ministries.

Zhu Qizhen can't see this clearly, but he still keeps Qi Muge, and he also keeps her by his side to serve. Looking at the current situation, he doesn't avoid her for all kinds of confidential and important matters. Didn't it make it clear that all the struggles of the Tian family will be displayed in front of such a foreign woman?

Not to mention, he used the people brought by Qimuge and sent them to the British government. Isn't this just a plan to rely on these people to collude with the British government and let people from other races get involved in the political situation of Ming Dynasty? He really can do it.

However, that's okay, it saves him a lot of work...

After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiyu ordered.

"Xu Youzhen's side, let him think of a way, delay it for now, wait until everything is arranged, and then let him go to see the Supreme Emperor..."

"The slaves obey the order."

Seeing Shu Liang retreating, Zhu Qiyu sighed silently. After all, there are some things that cannot be avoided...
