Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1123 I Said Cheng Guogong Is The Protagonist
When Zhu Jian said these words, he also expressed a bit of approval.

In his opinion, if Xu Youzhen hadn't gotten the news early, then when the dust of He Wenyuan presiding over the disaster relief really settled, it might be too late for them to intervene.

However, what he didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became a little strange.

Zhu Yi glanced at Xu Youzhen, then looked at Zhang Min next to her, and said meaningfully.

"It turned out to be the news from Xueshi Xu, I understand."

Sensing Zhu Yi's gaze, Zhang Min was still a little dazed, but after Zhu Yi had said that, he could only nod his head vaguely and said.

"I see……"

Zhu Yi was a little helpless, so she could only decide to ignore Zhang Min for now, but turned to Xu Youzhen who was at the side, and asked.

"Since this is the case, it is true that we can't just sit idly by. However, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to wait for Xungui to take action on this matter. Besides, since the emperor prefers He Wenyuan, it may not be convenient to replace him. Easy, Mr. Zhu...and Xueshi Xu, since they came here today to inform me about the news, they must have made up their minds, right?"

"You might as well say it out, let me wait and discuss it together."

Zhu Jian always felt that when Zhu Yi said these words, his tone was a bit weird, or in other words, since he came here today, the two people in front of him have always been a little abnormal.

However, looking at the current situation, even if he asked, the other party would probably not say anything, so after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Jian put this feeling behind him and said.

"Master Xu is really smart. Before I came, I had a discussion with Xu Xueshi, and I generally have some directions."

As he spoke, Zhu Jian's expression became more serious, and he said.

"The matter of He Wenyuan, in the final analysis, it is actually the emperor himself who has the intention of changing the reserve position. This He Wenyuan is just following his own preferences."

"So, suppressing He Wenyuan is not the goal, the real goal is to make the emperor dispel the idea of ​​changing the reserve capital."

"In this case, this He Wenyuan is actually a breakthrough!"

Hearing that it was Xu Youzhen's idea again, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Yi's mouth, and she asked along the way.

"What does that mean?"

Zhu Jian continued.

"Recently after the empress in the palace gave birth to a son-in-law, in fact, the emperor has shown many signs of this intention, but he has not said it clearly, so although the hearts of the people in the court are fluctuating, no one dares to lift it .”

"And now, He Wenyuan's proposal to depose the Eastern Palace is a good opportunity to bring this matter to the fore?"

"As long as He Wenyuan's actions are spread in the court, then it will be difficult for the emperor to pretend to be deaf and dumb about this matter. At that time, under the turbulent public opinion, how can He Wenyuan take over this job safely? Woolen cloth?"

Zhu Yi understood that this method, to put it bluntly, was to spread the news and incite public opinion to deal with He Wenyuan.

This is not a new method, but it can indeed solve the current predicament.

Just like what Zhu Jian said, the emperor had many signs of changing the reserve capital before, but it was only a sign. Based on these actions, he accused the emperor of wanting to shake the country's capital in the court. .

Moreover, if it is really the emperor who expresses his position like this, then, with the courage of the ministers in the current court, it is still unknown how much they dare to persuade.

Therefore, He Wenyuan became a good target.

His attitude was clear and clear. In the memorandum, he said that the father owns the world and should be passed on to the son, clearly expressing his position of advocating the abolition of the crown prince.

If the news spread, it would be reasonable for the ministers to impeach him based on this.

Moreover, these ministers in the court and the emperor choked, afraid that they would hesitate to move forward, but if it was just He Wenyuan, the momentum would not be small.

"But……"

At this time, Zhang Min who was on the side suddenly spoke and asked.

"My lord Zhu, disclosing this news will definitely hit He Wenyuan, but can you guarantee that He Wenyuan is the only one in the court who advocates deposing the crown prince?"

"If this matter is announced, the emperor will take this opportunity to really depose him, so what should we do?"

Oh, it's not easy, Mr. Zhang's brain also has a flash of light.

Zhu Jian glanced at Zhang Min, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, but...

"Xu Xueshi, this question, it's up to you..."

Turning his eyes to Xu Youzhen who was on the side, Zhu Jian spoke slowly, then he turned to Zhu Yi and the two, and said.

"When I was discussing with Xueshi Xu, I was also worried about this, but Xueshi Xu felt that now is a good opportunity."

Therefore, Zhu Yi and Zhang Min also turned their attention to Xu Youzhen. Seeing this situation, Xu Youzhen, who had been silent by the side, got up and said.

"Master Zhang, Master Zhang, the question you are considering is indeed very likely."

"However, what I want to ask is, if your guess is true, there are people in the court other than He Wenyuan who are plotting to dethrone the prince, then do you think these people will increase in the future, or will they become more and more powerful?" Come less and less?"

Ever since the Golden Sword incident last time, Zhang Min's attitude towards Xu Youzhen has been very indifferent, and even faintly meant to draw a clear line.

At this moment, hearing Xu Youzhen's words, he couldn't help but say.

"What do you want to say?"

Xu Youzhen said: "He Wenyuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a third-rank official, and he has this intention. It can be seen that there are more and more people in the court who hold this view. If we let it go, it will only intensify and become difficult to deal with."

"Since there is the acquiescence of the emperor behind this matter, then sooner or later it will be revealed to the court, but sooner or later, the difference is that the later it is revealed, the more people in the court will hold this attitude. At that time, it will be even more difficult for me to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You two, don't forget that the cabinet has just undergone a round of reshuffle. After this time, at least in the cabinet, there is no one who can speak for His Royal Highness. The only thing to be thankful for is that these seven ministers in the court , Du Shang is still on the side of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"But with Yu Shaobao being deposed from Beijing, it can be seen that the emperor is already starting to gradually replace these important officials in the court. Therefore, the sooner this matter is brought to the fore, the better."

While talking, Xu Youzhen sighed in a dignified manner, and said.

"Second Lord is right. Now we are really not sure. Making He Wenyuan's matter public may indeed lead to worse results."

"However, if you wait any longer, there will almost certainly be worse results. So, where to go, I believe that the two of you should be able to measure clearly in your mind?"

After these words were finished, everyone in the hall fell into silence.

They all knew that what Xu Youzhen said was reasonable, and more importantly, what Xu Youzhen said revealed a fact that they had been unwilling to admit.

That is, the prince is too weak in front of the current emperor.

They want to wait until the crown prince ascends the throne, and then turn over in one fell swoop. It cannot be said that there is no hope, but, as far as the current situation is concerned, the hope is indeed getting smaller and smaller.

After a while, Zhang Min didn't know what he thought of, and looked up at Zhu Yi beside him, only to see that the other party was also looking over.

The two looked at each other without saying anything, and then Zhu Yi spoke.

"Xu Xueshi's words are reasonable. His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince of the country. We shall do our best to help and protect He Wenyuan. As for He Wenyuan, we will do as Master Zhu and Xueshi Xu said."

With this statement, Zhu Jian's purpose of this trip has been achieved, and the matter is settled. He doesn't want to stay in the British government for a moment longer.

After the two left, Zhu Yi and Zhang Min were the only two left in the hall. The servants gently offered two new cups of tea, and then stepped back.

After a while, in the end, it was Zhang Min who spoke first, and said.

"Master, what do you think Xu Youzhen is planning?"

It should be said that Xu Youzhen's words just now were indeed extremely sincere, and she seemed to consider wholeheartedly for His Royal Highness.

If it is said that the former Zhang Erye is replaced, he will definitely help with all his strength, but the current Zhang Erye is not the same as before.

After knowing Xu Youzhen's identity, it was naturally impossible for Zhang Min to believe him anymore, but Zhang Min had to admit that what Xu Youzhen said was reasonable.

As a result, Zhang Erye was a little confused. At this time, he naturally needed someone who could see the situation in front of him clearly to guide him...

Hearing Zhang Min's complicated tone, Zhu Yi pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Second Master, what we should think about is not what Xu Youzhen is planning, but what does that person want?"

Zhang Min nodded lightly. Indeed, Xu Youzhen would definitely not dare to decide such a big matter by himself.

Moreover, without the acquiescence of the emperor, it would be impossible for Xu Youzhen to know the content of He Wenyuan's secret memorial so easily.

But even if he understands this point, it will be of no use in clarifying the current situation, at least, for Zhang Erye's level, it will not be of much use...

So, Zhu Yi continued to speak.

"Speaking of this, doesn't Second Master feel that the incident with the golden knife last time subsided too quickly?"

"You and I rejected Xu Youzhen according to the emperor's orders, but he didn't react at all, just pretending that nothing happened. Isn't that strange?"

This……

Zhang Min was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly, and said.

"Indeed, logically speaking, if I rejected him, then he should raise the matter in the court, but there has been no movement until now, which is indeed very strange."

While talking, Zhang Min seemed to realize something, raised his head, saw Zhu Yi who was also frowning, hesitated for a moment, and asked.

"The Duke of the country means that this is also... that person's meaning?"

Zhu Yi nodded slowly, thought for a moment, and said.

"Second Master, there are only you and me here, so I will speak directly."

"You and I know what the Supreme Emperor means now, but what about the emperor? I think it's actually the same."

"Otherwise, there would be no Xu Youzhen, and there would be no such recent incidents. Under this premise, if the Supreme Emperor wants to make trouble, he must rely on our strength."

"That's why Xu Youzhen came to you and me with a golden knife, but you and I rejected him and changed places. If the second master was the person behind Xu Youzhen, do you think the reason for his rejection would be what is it then?"

Zhang Min was stunned for a moment, pondered, and said.

"It makes sense. Since the Son of Heaven has already made up his mind that the Supreme Emperor had this intention long ago, then the only possibility that you and I rejected Xu Youzhen was that we were ordered by the Supreme Emperor."

"The Son of Heaven will never think that the Supreme Emperor gave up on this idea. Then, the conclusion can only be that the Supreme Emperor knows that this is a trap, so he told you and me not to get involved, so..."

"So, the emperor must already know that Xu Youzhen's identity has been exposed."

Zhu Yi took a sip of tea, and took over Zhang Min's words.

"However, looking at Xu Youzhen's demeanor just now, the emperor probably didn't tell him that the Supreme Emperor already knew his identity. Of course, this is irrelevant. The important thing is, since the emperor already knew that Xu Youzhen's identity was exposed, why did he still let him come?" What about lobbying?"

"This……"

Zhang Xiang couldn't keep up with Zhu Yi's thoughts. He was not good at this kind of scheming. It was not easy to see so many things. up.

Sighing, Zhang Erye could only ask helplessly.

"This is, why?"

Zhu Yi didn't mean to be tricky, and said directly.

"In my opinion, this is the Son of Heaven seeking a new balance!"

While speaking, Zhu Yi leaned forward and said.

"The balance in the court is also...the balance with the Supreme Emperor!"

What this said is becoming more and more difficult to understand.

Zhang Erye looked up at Zhu Yi, waiting for his explanation.

So, Zhu Yi continued.

"Since you and I have rejected Xu Youzhen's request for an incident, the Son of Heaven must know that the present chips are not enough for the Supreme Emperor to make you and me make up our minds, so he will definitely increase the chips. The class will definitely entrust you and me with more important responsibilities, but before that, there is a problem."

"That is, if you and I, like Xu Youzhen, are still kept in the dark, and we are still against the emperor in the future, then even if the emperor wants to entrust you and me with important tasks, he must also take care of the court." Will everyone be suspicious, so, Xu Youzhen's coming this time is the emperor testing you and me, and it is not clear whether the emperor intends to decentralize power."

"what do you mean……"

Zhang Min vaguely understood something, said.

"Because of this, I agreed to Xu Youzhen. If there is no accident, this incident is the emperor's attempt. Besides, there is another point that, taking this opportunity, the emperor may just want to solve the problem of the East Palace. ..."

Having said that, Zhu Yi also seemed to realize that what she said next was a bit shocking, so her expression became serious, said.

"However, it's not dethroning, but... helping Bao!"
