Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 174 The Empress Dowager Wu's Reminder

Chapter 174 The Empress Dowager Wu's Reminder
Snowflakes began to float outside again, and within a short period of time, a thin layer fell.

Looking outside through the window, both the blue floor tiles and the black roof ridges are covered with a layer of snow white.

In the Nuan Pavilion of Jingyang Palace, the stove was burning vigorously, and there was no trace of chill at all.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was still a little confused, Wu simply said it directly.

"What decides a person's choice is not only the relationship behind him, but also the choices he has made in the past."

"Aijia remembers that you mentioned to Aijia before that in Jiyi Hall, a relative named Li Xian was the first to propose you as king, is there such a thing?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded, if Wu Shi hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

It's not that he's forgetful, it's that Li Houye's performance is too bad.

In the situation at that time, although he was half-coerced and half-lured by Zhu Qiyu to take over the errand, but if he took it, he took it.

As a result, in the end, the mention was brought up, but after being reprimanded by Queen Mother Sun, he dared not speak.

Yu Qian stole the limelight for his good initiative, and he could only follow Yu Qian's back. No wonder, he could only be forgotten by Zhu Qiyu in a corner, without any sense of existence.

A smile appeared on Wu's face, and said.

"In that case, then he is yours!"

Looking at Wu's confident expression, Zhu Qiyu was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he still asked cautiously.

"Mother and concubine, Li Xian certainly had the credit for initiating the initiative, but in the final analysis, this matter was finally pushed forward, relying on Yu Qian and others, and at that time, the situation of the relatives was worrying, and he did not do it voluntarily. It's just a deal, why is the concubine mother so determined?"

Of course he understood what Wu Shi meant.

It is nothing more than to say that if Li Xian first advocated the establishment of a new monarch, it is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Queen Mother Sun and others.

Even if there may be someone from Queen Mother Sun in his network, he himself will no longer be trusted by Queen Mother Sun.

But the relationship between court and court is far from a simple life-and-death relationship.

In the situation at that time, the court actually had no other choice. The only difference was who said the words.

The reason why Xunqi supported the new monarch at that time was more out of self-protection.

This point, as long as Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qizhen have a little political vision, they will naturally be able to see it.

Right now, the Empress Dowager Sun and others are in a disadvantaged position. As long as they are not stupid, they should know that it is unwise to hold on to this.

However, Mrs. Wu shook her head and said.

"Do you know why in the palace, everyone is cautious and would rather do less than do more. Even if it is something that is sure to happen, no one is willing to take the risk if it is not necessary. What is the reason?"

Without waiting for Zhu Qiyu to answer, Wu gave the answer himself.

"Because no matter what you think in your heart, whether it is forced by the situation or not, doing it is the biggest proof!"

"He said that he was forced by the situation, is it that he was forced by the situation? He said that he did it as a last resort, is it that he did it as a last resort?"

"A man has two mouths and a glib tongue. If he can say that he has no choice, you can naturally say that he has no choice. The point is that he has done it!"

"As long as it is done, how to explain this matter is not in his hands, but in the hands of the superior."

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, then his brows suddenly relaxed.

He finally understood what Wu Shi meant.

Of course Li Xian could tell everyone that he was forced to do so in order to keep his status as a relative.

But whether this statement is true or not, I am afraid that most people will put a question mark in their hearts.

It is true due to the situation, but who can confirm that he has no intention of acting in his heart?
Even if he doesn't have one, as long as he does, Zhu Qiyu can make him one!

This is the so-called, how to explain the power, in the hands of the superior.

"Thank you, Consort Mu, for your reminder!"

Zhu Qiyu put down a big stone in his heart.

After he figured out how to treat his relatives in this section, he had a general direction in his mind.

There was also a smile on Wu's face, and said.

"It's good that you understand. Aijia doesn't know why you are so vigilant about welcoming back the Supreme Emperor, but throughout the dynasties, there is no precedent for the restoration of the Supreme Emperor."

"Now that you have ascended to a great position, you don't have to be so impatient, just take it easy."

This……

A wry smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face.

Normally speaking, what Wu said is indeed correct. For thousands of years, only the crown prince has usurped the throne, and there has never been a precedent for the abdicated emperor to be restored.

In a sense, Zhu Qizhen in his previous life was like no one before or since.

But these words, of course, can't be said to Wu Shi.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu could only say.

"Having said that, my son is always uneasy. After all, in all dynasties, there has never been an emperor Beishou, an emperor's younger brother who was ordered to succeed without an edict."

This time, instead, it was Wu Shi who had nothing to say.

If you say that, it is true that the two brothers are special in the first place, and it is not impossible for something to happen.

After a long time, Wu Shi nodded solemnly and said.

"You're right, it's better to be safe."

As she said that, Wu's brows frowned again, her thoughts seemed to be a little blurred, so she simply stood up from the couch.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, signaling the servant who wanted to come up to support him to step down, and walked slowly forward with Wu Shi himself.

The mother and son left the Nuan Pavilion and came to the corridor.

Outside, the snow was falling quietly, looking at the falling snowflakes, Wu said softly.

"In this case, Jin Ying can no longer be used!"

Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this matter would involve Jin Ying's head.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's expression, Wu shook his head and said.

"Aijia originally thought that you are short of people now, although Cheng Jing can help you, but after all, he has not been an official for a long time. I have always been kind to each other, and I can help you in government affairs."

"Although he has something to do with the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he is a smart man and knows how to act properly. In such a situation, he can actually advise Mrs. Sun to make you less trouble."

"But since it's the current situation, then naturally Jin Ying can no longer keep it."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, he had no opinion on this point.

It is true that Jin Ying helped him a lot in government affairs.

But today's Zhu Qiyu is not the idle prince who had no contact with the government in his previous life, he needs to learn to deal with it bit by bit.

Even if there is no Jin Ying, he is confident that he can handle the government well, so naturally there is no need to keep Jin Ying.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu said.

"This matter is easy. A few days ago, there happened to be a censor who impeached Jin Ying for conniving at his family slaves to smuggle official salt, killing civilians with sticks, and bribing the prefect of Huai'an to get rid of the crime. I haven't dealt with it yet. Send it to Nanjing for a rest."

Jin Ying is a person who is familiar with the government and government, and he still takes care of the overall situation.

But as a middle official, it is inevitable to have such and other bad habits. Jin Ying is most criticized for being greedy for money.

As early as a few years ago, he was impeached for bullying merchants, monopolizing sales, and privately raising goods in Nanhaizi.

A few days ago, the impeachment of Cao Jixiang was a common practice in the court, and many censors took the opportunity to impeach Jin Ying for accepting bribes and interfering in the appointment and dismissal of military officials.

At that time, in order to deal with Cao Jixiang's matter, Zhu Qiyu kept all the memorials related to Zhongguan, but he never thought that it would come in handy now.

Wu Shi nodded and said.

"That's fine. Jin Ying is a Buddhist. There are many Buddhist temples in Nanjing. After he passed, he ended up at ease, which is considered a good death."

"However, after all, Jin Ying is a great leader, Su Shan foreign court minister, after this civil war, he strongly resisted moving south, you should be more cautious when dealing with it."

"Aijia still said the same thing, now the general trend is yours, don't worry, safety is the top priority."

Looking at the white snow, Zhu Qiyu replied.

"Mother and concubine don't worry, my son understands."

When Jin Ying was mentioned just now, he remembered something again. He had to say that sometimes, people often do their own crimes...
