Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1089 Add fuel to the fire
In the Wenhua Palace, King Xiang's words also aroused the curiosity of the two ministers present, but, unlike Wang Ao, Yu Shiyue was more restless.

Especially when the letter in King Xiang's hand was handed to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven only glanced at it, and his expression immediately sank. This look was even more terrifying than when he saw Yu Qian's memorial just now.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat depressing. After a while, the Son of Heaven looked down at King Xiang, where the old god was present, and asked.

"Uncle Xiang, this is, want to impeach Yu Qian?"

As soon as these words came out, the two cabinet ministers at the side were startled. They had vaguely guessed that King Xiang's arrival was not good, but what they couldn't figure out was what King Xiang was doing by getting involved at this moment.

One thing to know is that Yu Qian is a minister of the court after all, even if he made a mistake, it is still considered as a government affairs of the court. According to the usual practice, the vassal king cannot interfere with his appointment, dismissal, but now this King Xiang... And, They just looked at the letter from a distance, and it didn't look like a memorial.

Facts have proved that people can still improve. After the lesson of the old King Min, King Xiang acted a lot more cautiously. He glanced at the two cabinet members next to him and said with a smile.

"That's not true. Yu Shaobao has always had a good reputation in the court, and I have no opinion on him. I came here today to hand over this matter to His Majesty. It is up to His Majesty and the court to decide how to deal with it. The imperial family, impeaching the ministers of the imperial court, is inconsistent with the system."

This state?

Yu Shiyue was keenly aware of the key point in King Xiang's words.

Is it possible that it is a petition?

Someone wanted to sue Yu Qian, but they submitted it through King Xiang?

Thoughts were spinning in his heart, the emperor on the other side had already spoken again.

"Since that's the case, I understand Uncle Wang's intention."

"However, why did this complaint come to Uncle Wang's hands, and is the complaint true?"

Faced with the emperor's question, King Xiang was very calm, and said without haste.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I don't know whether it is true or not. I am afraid that this needs to be investigated by the court. As for why this complaint came into the hands of the minister, it is also accidental."

"Before, His Majesty ordered the ministers to set up Huangzhuang in the feudal land. The minister thought that since he wanted to set it up, he must understand clearly. So a few days ago, he personally went outside the city to investigate around Huangzhuang."

"This complaint was submitted by a farmer I met on the road. According to him, his farmland was also occupied by others. What's interesting is that at that time, it was Song Gonggong who was arrested because of the establishment of Huangzhuang. When the courtiers impeached."

"At that time, I didn't care about it, I just asked him to go to the county government office to submit the case, but just yesterday, the minister saw the farmer again, and he said that he went to the county government office, but no one accepted the case, and even returned the paper. He was kicked out, feeling helpless, thinking that he had met the minister before, so he found the ten princes' mansion."

"I thought, after all, this matter involves important officials in the court, so no matter what the truth is, His Majesty should know, so I went to the palace and presented the certificate to His Majesty. However, I really don't know what the inside story is. .”

These words briefly outline what happened, but to Yu Shiyue and the others, there are still many doubts.

Not to mention whether it is reasonable for King Xiang to go outside the city to inspect the Huangzhuang, let's say that this noble prince, when he went out of the city, unexpectedly met a farmer by coincidence. Forget it, even the ministers of the court were involved. Moreover, King Xiang didn't say it at the time, but at this juncture, he suddenly brought it out. It's hard not to think about his intention.

As for what King Xiang said, the farmer was helpless, that's why he found him, just listen to it, what kind of farmer dares to go directly to the king's mansion, if it is an ordinary farmer, even if he goes to the county government, he will be trembling , walking on thin ice, not to mention looking for the vassal king.

What's more, if it is said that King Xiang went out of the city in trance, how did the farmers know that King Xiang is the uncle of the current dynasty and that he lives in the Tenth Prince's Mansion? Difficult, how could it be possible to have an intersection with an ordinary farmer?

There are so many doubts in the middle that Yu Shiyue has to suspect that this is King Xiang's intentional frame-up.

His eyes secretly fell on King Xiang, but what was strange was that King Xiang didn't show any sign of guilt.

At the same time, the emperor frowned after hearing these words, and said.

"Where is the farmer now?"

"Return to Your Majesty, in the Ten Princes' Palace."

So, the emperor nodded slightly, and instructed Wynn beside him.

"Pass the decree to Lu Zhong, asking him to send someone to take this farmer to Jinyiwei and take care of it first, and no one is allowed to touch it."

"Yes……"

Wynn responded and sent someone down to deliver the decree.

Afterwards, the Son of Heaven turned to King Xiang again and asked.

"Although Uncle Wang is only submitting a complaint, he is also considered to be the first to sue for others. Since this is the case, Uncle Wang thinks that it involves people, how should we deal with it?"

This was obviously meant to be a bit of a test, but King Xiang was smart, he lowered his head slightly, and said.

"Your Majesty, I just feel that this matter should be reported to His Majesty. As for other matters, I should not interfere. I believe that Your Majesty and the princes in the court will have their own conclusions."

"Since that's the case, thank you, Uncle Wang."

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"I will hand over this matter to Jin Yiwei and Dali Temple. Although this matter has nothing to do with Uncle Wang, after all, Uncle Wang submitted the case. Therefore, there may be things that require Uncle Wang's cooperation. Uncle Wang made it clear what he knew."

King Xiang got up and bowed his hands in salute, saying.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely cooperate."

"Well, if there is nothing else, Uncle Wang will step back."

"The minister will leave..."

Seeing the figure of King Xiang leaving, the Son of Heaven frowned quickly, Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue at the side had not had time to speak before he heard the Son of Heaven speak, saying.

"It is said that Lu Zhong, the Commander of Jinyiwei, and the governor of Shuntian Prefecture are here to see you!"

"According to the purpose..."

Wynn sent someone down to deliver the decree, but Yu Shiyue and Yu Shiyue couldn't help worrying for a while, hesitated for a moment, and Wang Ao stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, I have the guts to wonder what happened?"

Lu Zhong is the commander of Jin Yiwei, and if he is the one to speak, one can imagine what will happen.

Since Wang Ao and Wang Ao were present, they naturally had to ask.

The Son of Heaven obviously knew this too, so he had no intention of hiding anything, and handed over the complaint in his hand, saying.

"You have also heard what Uncle Xiang said just now. This complaint comes from a farmer in Daxing County. The content of it is quite simple. It is said that a squire has robbed dozens of acres of land from his family. The government is afraid. The forces behind it just sit idly by, so they came to report."

"And among them, a key person is involved, named Zhu Ji, this person is Jin Yiwei Qianhu, and he... is Yu Qian's son-in-law!"

Following the appearance of this name, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Yu Shiyue and Wang Ao frowned after reading the complaint.

Judging from the complaint, this matter has no direct relationship with Yu Qian, and even Zhu Ji is not directly involved.

The so-called one who forcibly robbed the farmer's land was a nephew of Zhu Ji's mother, that is, Zhu Ji's cousin. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Ji, but the problem was that the farmer went to the county government.

The county government originally accepted the complaint, and even went to get him, but not long after, they released him inexplicably, and when the farmer went back, he was beaten out as a troublemaker.

As for the farmer, even though he is a farmer, the one who has dozens of acres of land can be regarded as having some connections in the local area. After repeated inquiries, he found out from the teacher of the county government that it was Zhu Ji who intervened and saved the man. come out.

Therefore, the farmer knew that the county government could not take care of him, so he went directly to Shuntian Mansion. Coincidentally, his experience in Shuntian Mansion was similar. The policeman who returned the certificate also warned him not to continue to report, otherwise he might destroy his family.

But the farmer just didn't believe in evil, so in the end, he thought of the "noble man" he had met, and finally begged King Xiang...

It should be said that this matter seems simple, but there are indeed many suspicious things in it.

Seeing that they had all read the complaint, Zhu Qiyu asked.

"What do you two think?"

Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue looked at each other with very cautious expressions, Wang Ao said first.

"Your Majesty, the details of this matter are not clear now, and according to the complaint, even if the accusation is true, it only involves Zhu Ji, and there is no evidence to prove that Yu Shaobao is related to this matter. Bao's character, and will not do such a robbery."

Afterwards, Yu Shiyue also spoke.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that this matter needs to be cautious..."

Although she knew she shouldn't say it, but after hesitating for a moment, Yu Shiyue said boldly.

"Besides, although this matter seems reasonable, and in fact, there are many doubts in it. The specific situation needs to be investigated in detail. After the results are obtained, it will not be too late to deal with it."

Yu Shiyue didn't dare to say what the specific doubts were, but even so, the emperor's face was already a little ugly, said.

"So you mean that someone deliberately framed Yu Qian?"

These words were not questions, but with a hint of rhetorical tone, which made the two of them a little uneasy, as expected, the next thing the emperor said with a sullen expression.

"The common people sued, were oppressed by the court officials, had nowhere to appeal for grievances, and had nowhere to appeal. As a result, it was handed over to me. The investigation of the case has not yet begun. Do you think it is a deliberate frame?"

"Could it be that the life and death of ordinary people are so insignificant in your eyes?"

"The folks say that officials and officials protect each other, but I have really seen it today."

These words are very serious, and, unlike Yu Qian just now, it is the two of them who were reprimanded by the emperor this time.

Therefore, although there was no harsh words, the heavy aura suddenly made the two of them a little unbearable, and immediately knelt down and said.

"Your Majesty knows clearly, I have no such intention!"

Looking at the gloomy face of the emperor, Yu Shiyue sighed, feeling a little helpless.

Sure enough, the evil consequences of Yu Qian's nonsense during this time have gradually manifested.

In normal times, the emperor would never believe such an accusation, but it might not be the case now.

It's not just because of Yu Qian's opposition to the emperor recently.

Based on Yu Shiyue's understanding of the Son of Heaven, although he would get angry because of this, as long as he calms down, he is not someone who cares about it, otherwise, he would not indulge Yu Qian to this day.

More importantly, this kneeling outside the palace to remonstrate is different from the usual remonstrance in nature.

During this period of time, they thought of various ways, hoping that the emperor would release Yu Qian, but it didn't work, which is very unusual.

Therefore, Yu Shiyue has been thinking about why the emperor was so furious this time.

Later, when he remembered Yu Qian's words outside the palace that day again, he vaguely had the answer in his heart.

When he went to the palace to persuade the emperor that day, he only considered it from Yu Qian's point of view, but he ignored one point.

That is, what kind of nature this matter is in the eyes of the emperor.

Usually, Yu Qian also offends the emperor, but basically discusses the matter as it stands, and disagrees on a certain government affairs, and there are quite a variety of methods of persuasion. At least, he will not contradict in the early court or in the public emperor.

But this time is different, just like what Yu Shiyue said when he persuaded Yu Qian that day, insisting on seeing the emperor at that time was not the best way to stop Huangzhuang from implementing it, on the contrary, wait for the early court, and then let the middle and low-level officials first. Officials raised objections to the matter, and they would express their opinions. This kind of gradual advancement is the best way to solve the problem.

This point, Yu Shiyue is clear, Yu Qian is clear, it is impossible for the emperor to be unclear.

But under such circumstances, Yu Qian chose the most violent way to object. Even Yu Shiyue, who had always had a close friendship with him, only realized after he explained that he wanted to stop the emperor's arbitrary style, let alone others?

Obviously there is a better solution and not to choose, but to intensify the conflict in such a way of almost coercing remonstrance, what is this kind of behavior in the eyes of the emperor?
Either relying on one's merits and pride, or inviting one's name to buy straight, no matter which one it is, the emperor hates it extremely.

After realizing this, Yu Shiyue suddenly realized that the emperor's evaluation of Qian that day was not just a rage, but a genuine questioning of Qian's character.

Regrettably, Yu Qian obviously didn't realize this. He refused to bow his head and admit his mistake. In his own opinion, he insisted on principles, but in the eyes of the emperor, he was the same as the previous Ke Dao Yushi. Yu Qian's own name.

Especially this time, Yu Qian's memorandum made such a big commotion, in the eyes of the emperor, I am afraid that it is even more confirmed the previous view of Qian.

This can explain why the emperor was able to calmly treat Yu Qian with so many sharp-tongued memorials before, but this time he was so furious. It is really because Yu Qian's behavior has changed in the eyes of the emperor.

Under such circumstances, they used the so-called pure name to defend Yu Qian, which naturally touched the emperor's nerves even more...
