Why did the emperor rebel?

In the Wenhua Palace, in front of the officials.

Mr. Xu spoke harshly, spoke righteously, and yelled at He Wenyuan. Suddenly, he established a tall image in the hearts of countless people.

No one who has seen this scene can call Master Xu's courage!

In contrast, He Wenyuan, the other main character in the center of the line of sight, has a face that turns green and white, just like the big villain in the playbook who is poked in the sore spot.

As a result, all the ministers were talking a lot. The strange behavior of the emperor had already made all the ministers in the palace suspicious. Now, He Wenyuan, a dignified third-rank official and minister of the official department, is facing a mere fifth-rank Youchunfang University. It is hard not to feel that he is guilty because he is so short of breath.

The situation in the palace is getting worse and worse. The officials of the East Palace made it clear today that they just don't want to let He Wenyuan go. Immediately after Xu Youzhen, the right concubine Ni Qian also stepped forward, saying.

"The Eastern Palace's reserve is related to the stability of the country. Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that it is Mr. He who encouraged His Majesty to abolish the establishment. Now that all the ministers are here, if Mr. He has not played, why not take this opportunity to divide the matter?" To make it clear, it is not only to restore Mr. He's innocence, but also to clarify the rumors, Anshun public opinion!"

Ni Qian is also an official of the Eastern Palace, and his position is not as high as Xu Youzhen's. However, he is a master of scholarship, and has always been well respected among scholars. Other subordinate officials also stood up one after another, clamoring for He Wenyuan to give an explanation.

With such a heated discussion, He Wenyuan was forced to have no way out, and his face was extremely ugly.

You know, this is the Wenhua Palace, and all the officials are there, no matter what he says, it will spread throughout the entire capital in an instant.

This group of people from the Eastern Palace put him on fire. If he admitted it, then it would be considered that the contradiction of the Eastern Palace's reserve position had been completely brought to light.

But if he denies it, the paper will not be able to contain the fire after all. Now that there are rumors in the court, it can be seen that there must be someone pushing behind it. If someone finds out the evidence, then his denial today will become evidence of his deception. It is also difficult to turn over.

That being the case...

He Wenyuan gritted his teeth, looked up at the officials present, and said.

"That's right, I did give a performance to Your Majesty, please Prince Yi!"

As soon as he said a word, all the officials were shocked.

The hall suddenly became dead silent, no one thought that this kind of thing, Mr. He, would really dare to admit it.

As for He Wenyuan, the rumors in Beijing were so raging, how could he not know, and now that he knew, how could he not have any preparations for the current scene?

Even if the current scene greatly exceeded his expectations, but the matter has come to this point, he has long since had no way out.

Above the imperial court and among the scholars, sometimes inconsistencies are more serious than missteps. The latter can also be said to have different political opinions and each follow their own way, but the former will undoubtedly be cast aside.

Therefore, when the matter developed to such an extent, for He Wenyuan, he actually had no way out.

In the final analysis, Mr. He is also a person who has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for many years. Now that he has made a decision, he will naturally not back down.

Facing the various gazes of the crowd, He Wenyuan said in a deep voice.

"God bless the king of the people, the father has the son of the world, this is an eternal truth, the emperor will do anything, and he will trust the power, so that the civil disaster, the artifact is in danger of being overthrown, your majesty is in danger, turn the tide from the collapse, and help The collapse of the building can be called rebuilding China, and its achievements can be compared to Guangwu."

"However, the Holy Mother in the palace does not care about the country and insists on establishing the prince first. Is this the right way? His Royal Highness is the son of the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor is in power, he should live in the East Palace. However, since the Supreme Emperor has already taken the throne, the legal system will be in His Majesty today, and the order of ethics will be passed on. It should be shifted, is this unreasonable?"

"Since ancient times, have you ever heard that a person on the throne of Zen can restore the crown prince in place of the reigning king? Regardless of etiquette or reason, the son of the Supreme Emperor has no reason to stay in the East Palace. What's wrong with this official admonition?"

With a "buzz", following He Wenyuan's words, all kinds of discussions in the hall almost burst through the roof.

Some people shouted and cursed angrily, some whispered, some admired He Wenyuan for being so bold, and some looked uncertain, as if hesitating for something.

In short, his words completely ignited the atmosphere in the entire court.

No one expected that Master He would speak so sharply!
You know, what he said was not just about abolishing the crown prince, but more importantly, he clearly put forward a point of view.

That is, since the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, he has lost the legal authority. Since the legal authority has been transferred, then the East Palace Chuben should be changed. This view is not new, but it is the court officials, who have always been in tacit understanding Things to avoid talking about.

But now, how could He Wenyuan say that in front of many ministers, which is equivalent to forcing everyone to face this issue directly.

Who is the rule of law in Sheji Jiangshan now?

If the son of the Supreme Emperor still lives in the East Palace, then what is the emperor? If the emperor is orthodox, then why should the son of the Supreme Emperor become the crown prince!
This question, if you are a little careless, will be an abyss for the speaker, but He Wenyuan is willing to go all out at this moment, straightening his back, looking around at everyone present, and said.

"My lords, since you want to make a clear statement in this hall, please, my lords, discuss with this official. If anyone thinks that there is something wrong with what this official said, please speak out. own opinion."

"If the official is wrong, I will report to His Majesty and ask for forgiveness!"

The hall gradually became quiet, and gradually became silent. Even many officials of the Eastern Palace in the hall frowned, with uncertain expressions on their faces.

It has to be said that Mr. He's aura at the moment is indeed very bluffing.

It's still the same sentence, on such an occasion, everything that happens will spread throughout the entire capital in an instant.

However, under such circumstances, He Wenyuan dared to say such words so confidently. Was he desperate, or... confident?
Thinking about the recent rumors in Beijing, all the ministers couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. After all, He Wenyuan's memorabilia is a secret melody, but why did the contents of it leak out?

Moreover, it was not only leaked, but also passed on in such a detailed and specific way. If there is someone instigated behind it, then it is hard to come into contact with the secrets and spread them in the capital...

A guess floated up in his heart. After all the officials were shocked, when they looked at He Wenyuan again, they were already a little more complicated.

If you want to fight with a He Wenyuan, then of course it's nothing, but if you want to fight...then they have to weigh it carefully...

Seeing the silence in the hall, Xu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Yi, thinking something was wrong in her heart, and then Zhu Yi stepped forward and shouted.

"He Shilang, you are presumptuous!"

"Your Majesty has long had a decree that the ministers of the court should not discuss affairs in the palace. Although His Royal Highness is standing by the order of the Holy Mother, he is actually going out of the cabinet to study at the order of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. If the family is harmonious today, His Majesty will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regards him as a parent and child, so why did he have any intention of shaking the reserve?"

"As a scholar, you disregard the etiquette and speak wantonly, are you really not afraid of the scholars' opinions? As a minister of the court, you speak falsely about the Tian family, sow discord between His Majesty and His Royal Highness, are you really not afraid of the court's laws?"

These words were spoken harshly.

However, it was not to He Wenyuan, but to the officials present.

Zhu Yi also noticed that right now, the ministers in the court are actually not afraid of He Wenyuan, but the emperor who may exist behind He Wenyuan.

If it is said that if they are really asked to regard this matter as the meaning of the emperor, then there are probably very few people who really dare to stand up and oppose it.

Therefore, what he said seems to be accusing He Wenyuan, but he is actually saying that the emperor has absolutely no intention of being easy to store. Moreover, he used the scholarly discussion and etiquette to remind the officials present that if they don't say a word today, Then, in the future, it will not only be He Wenyuan who will be discussed by the government and the public.

Sure enough, when he finished speaking, many senior ministers changed their faces. As scholars, what they care most about is the reputation behind them. Zhu Yi was so excited, they were really entangled...

However, He Wenyuan was not so easy to deal with. Facing Zhu Yi's accusation, he directly pushed back, said.

"Duke Cheng was born as a general, but he didn't expect that he also knew the four words of Shilin Qingyi!"

"The imperial court has its own laws, and the sages have their own principles, which cannot be distorted by anyone. The Taizu established the country, and it has been established for a long time. The succession of the throne follows the principles of father's death and son's succession, and brother's end."

"Dare to ask Cheng Guogong, is the current crown prince the son of His Majesty, or his younger brother?"

This tm... I can't do my job!

Zhu Yi didn't expect for a moment that this Shilang He has such a strong fighting power, and he has been with Wang Wen for a long time, and he is a virtuous person.

How should he answer these words? Indeed, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother ends up with the younger brother. This is the iron law established by the Taizu, and it is also the succession order that has been followed throughout the ages.

From this point of view, the current crown prince's status is indeed embarrassing. Of course, this does not mean that what He Wenyuan said is correct.

Because, he deliberately ignored, or blatantly concealed, the fact that His Majesty's current throne is abnormally inherited.

However, if we look at it from this point of view, then His Majesty should return the throne to the Supreme Emperor, but no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty would dare to say this truth.

Not to mention, it was the current His Majesty they supported at the beginning, just because the imperial power is so powerful, wouldn't the emperor not kill people?

But if we don't discuss the jurisprudence of today's majesty, then it is impossible to smooth out the jurisprudence of the prince.

As far as this is concerned, this He Wenyuan can be regarded as choking the throats of everyone present.

For a while, Zhu Yi's aura weakened a lot. Seeing this situation, Xu Youzhen was also a little anxious, and stepped forward to speak.

"He Wenyuan, do you think that with a clever tongue, you can turn black and white, and you can't bewitch the sage? Your Majesty, how wise and wise you are today, how can you ruin the family relationship of the heavenly family because of a reckless person like you?"

Having said that, however, this reason is obviously insufficient, and it can only be suppressed by the name.

Seeing this situation, many ministers in the hall also began to waver. Unlike the uproar that had just erupted against Yingtian, this time, everyone was whispering.

At this moment, someone suddenly let out an exclamation, and the people around looked forward, but saw that there was already a group of people in front of the hall, and the leader was Huai En, the chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace. The eunuch led a team of eunuchs, frowned and looked at the messy scene below, and shouted.

"Since you have retreated from the court, why did you stay in the palace and not leave? You know that doing so is a crime of disrespect in front of the palace?"

It would be nice if someone came!
Whether it was He Wenyuan, Xu Youzhen, Zhu Yi and others who were confronting each other in the hall, or the officials who were at a loss at the side, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The most fearful thing is that this kind of scene is left unattended. Now, Wynn is here. Although it seems that he didn't come here for orders, he just came in a hurry after learning about the chaos in the Wenhua Palace. However, beside him, the emperor Now that the chief eunuch is here, many things will be easier to handle.

So, Zhu Yi stepped forward and told the truth about what happened just now.

After Wynn listened, he also frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said.

"My lords, wait a moment, our family will report to His Majesty right away."

Then, he turned and left.

But after Wynn's figure disappeared, the hall became quiet instead. Even if there were occasional low-pitched conversations, the voices were consciously subdued, and there was an inexplicably strange atmosphere in the whole hall.

The elders just waited like this. After about a stick of incense, when the ministers in the palace were a little restless, Wynn finally came back.

I saw the chief eunuch standing on the steps in front of the hall, flicking the whisk in his hand, and said.

"Your Majesty issued an oral order to announce the six ministers, the censor of Zuodu, the cabinet minister, the governor of the five armies, Zhu Yi, the Duke of Cheng, Li Xian, the Duke of Feng, a subordinate official of the East Palace, a scholar of Hanlin, and all six subjects. Wang Hong, the censor of the deputy capital, He Wenyuan, the servant of the official department, and others, the Marquis Zhao of the Wuying Palace, and the rest of the officials immediately dispersed and returned to the government to handle affairs, without delay."

Hearing these words, many ministers in the palace couldn't help but look at He Wenyuan who was at the side.

It seems that this time the emperor also knows that the situation is serious and cannot be delayed, so he intends to resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not have summoned all the important ministers in the court at once.

However, this list... Those who are interested seem to have faintly noticed a clue, but no one said a word.

Soon, the group of ministers took their orders, and the ministers who were ordered went to the Hall of Martial Arts to wait for the order, while the rest of the ministers dispersed in twos and threes.

However, all of them knew in their hearts that the real game had just begun, and the outcome of this matter would depend on the conclusion of this discussion.

However, no matter what the final result of this matter is, I am afraid that there will be a great commotion in the court...
