Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 273 Disputes between the Chief Officers
There was a moment of silence in the hall. Although Cheng Jing had already given them a thorough explanation, the elders were still a little speechless.

For the New Year's Eve, the imperial court even sealed the Great Seal, Son of Heaven, you, the old man, dragged them out of the mansion just because of the Miaodi matter that has been postponed for more than half a year?
It's not that this matter is not important, but it's been fighting for more than half a year. Your majesty, you didn't think about it at other times, so why did you think about it at this time.

Not only did he remember it, but he also thought about it as soon as he came out. Did the commander-in-chief of the [-] army change so casually?
All the people present were relatively close to Zhu Qiyu, but the closer the relationship, the more cautious they should be when speaking.

After a moment of silence, Yu Qian was the first to speak out.

After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Your Majesty, it's true that Wang Ji has stationed troops in Chenzhou for quite some time, but Luchuan's army has traveled long distances and needs to be repaired, not to mention the high mountains and dense forests in Miaodi, and the cunning of the thieves, which also need to be considered."

"Warriors who know themselves and their enemies will be able to win every battle. Wang Ji's former military report has said that he is investigating the settlements of the various tribes in Miaodi and intends to defeat them one by one."

"If Your Majesty withdraws him at this time, he fears that all previous efforts will be wasted and will be in vain. Why not reprimand and urge him to follow the decree. As for whether he intentionally delayed, it will not be too late to investigate after returning to the division after the battle."

Someone became the first bird, and the other ministers no longer hesitated.

The newly promoted cabinet minister, Yu Shiyue, has always been a political ally with Yu Qian, and the two have a good personal relationship.

As soon as Yu Qian spoke, he immediately followed, said.

"I think Yu Shangshu's words are reasonable. Your Majesty is broad-minded and takes care of the whole country. I have always admired you."

"At the time of the Battle of Bauhinia Pass, the commander-in-chief Ren Li and the admiral Wang Wenzhen were at odds, and the ministers strongly requested to replace the commander-in-chief, but His Majesty was concerned about the overall situation of the war, and he was arbitrary, and ordered Mr. Jian Zhai to take charge of military affairs. , to quell the disputes, and then there will be a great victory at the Zijing Pass."

"Nowadays, it is certainly wrong for Wang Ji not to advance forward, but he hastily dismissed and replaced the commander-in-chief, fearing that the morale of the army will be disturbed again. Therefore, the minister believes that the imperial court can issue an order to supervise, and at the same time increase troops as appropriate. If you disobey the order, it will not be too late to replace them."

In terms of reasons, it is obvious that Yu Qian's is more solid and convincing.

But I have to say that Yu Shiyue's words are obviously more comfortable in terms of sound and feeling.

In fact, although Yu Qian was following the words of the emperor, the implication was that he didn't think there was a big problem with Wang Ji's countermeasures.

Yu Shiyue is different. Although he has not been in the cabinet for many days, he has changed his rigid style when he was a criminal officer, and his speech is much smoother.

The emperor said that Wang Ji was timid, so just treat him as timid. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, as long as the emperor is happy, the most important thing is not to make trouble at this time.

The methods are different, but the meaning is the same.

That is, it is not in favor of going to war against the generals commanding the front at this time, and it is still necessary to ensure that the counter-insurgency can go smoothly.

It is not impossible to replace the commander-in-chief, but the new commander-in-chief must understand the military situation and formulate a plan. If the strategy is different from the previous commander-in-chief, then the initial investment will basically be in vain.

Two ministers stood up one after another, although they were tactful, they were all admonishing, which obviously made the emperor a little unhappy, said.

"The battle at Bauhinia Pass is imminent. Soldiers are also approaching the city first. The battle is imminent. Changing generals before the battle will naturally shake the morale of the army and take advantage of the enemy."

"Although Miaodi has been in chaos for a long time, they dare not attack the [-] troops. Wang Ji has been in the army for a long time, and he has never fought a large-scale battle with them. It is the new year's day, and I am afraid that there will be no big war in the short term."

"Under such a situation, how can you not be replaced by the commander-in-chief?"

The elders obviously did not expect that the emperor would be so stubborn this time.

God knows where this Wang Ji provoked the emperor, and this New Year's Eve, he must be removed...

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhu Qiyu simply nodded and said.

"Stone Son-in-law, you are currently serving in the five-army governor's mansion, and you know the relatives of each family very well. Based on your understanding, among the nobles in Beijing, who can take on this important task now?"

The Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies is different from the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Six Ministries. The appointment and removal of personnel in it is completely determined by the emperor.

Therefore, in front of the emperor, Shi Jing, the governor of the five armies' governor's mansion, did not have the guts to stab him like a civil servant.

What the emperor said is what he said, since he asked, he answered.

"Your Majesty, there are quite a few brave men in Beijing, but those who can serve as commander-in-chief must have titles. I believe that Baoding Bo Liang Pang, Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Xingzu, and Jin Jing'an Bo Fan Guang are all young and powerful, good at fighting. Those who are scheming can take on important responsibilities."

After hearing his words, Zhu Qiyu was a little disappointed.

It seems that the affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies should also be put on the agenda.

After the civil war, all the governors of the five armies' governor's mansion were empty. Although he said that he was the tallest among the short ones, he could be regarded as appointing three governors.

But now, Zhao Rong is mediocre and incompetent. He was impeached by Yu Qian a few days ago and neglected military affairs. Guo Sheng is diligent, but he is too scheming for power. pawn.

For Shi Jing, Zhu Qiyu originally had expectations.

He is a capable person, Shi Jing's ancestor, and Jing Nan's hero. Although he is not a knight, his family background is not that prominent, but his family style is strict and his martial style is impressive.

His wife, Princess Shunde, is the eldest daughter of Emperor Xuanzong. Although her mother Hu was abolished, her status is still noble.

This marriage was personally arranged by Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang has always been dissatisfied with the matter of abolishing the empress, so she was particularly concerned about choosing a son-in-law for Princess Shunde, which can be called a thousand choices.

Shi Jing is tall, with a face like a crown of jade, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, elegant literary talent, and is also skilled in riding and shooting bows and horses, so he can stand out from the crowd of candidates.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu handed over the military governor's mansion to him, hoping that he could control the situation for him.

After all, his identity determines that he cannot be too deeply involved with Queen Mother Sun.

However, perhaps it was because Princess Shunde and the deposed Empress Hu had both passed away, and Shi Jing had no power behind him, so he had kept his powers in hiding for too long.

It's been a long time and now he has lost interest in doing something.

There is no problem with the three people he mentioned, but they are too average.

Liang Pang, Bo of Baoding, is a noble from the lineage of King Yan's Mansion. More precisely, Bo of Baoding is a noble from Emperor Renzong's family.

As early as when Emperor Taizong was still the King of Yan, Liang Ming, the father of Liang Ping, had been following Emperor Renzong, who was still the prince's son at that time, and participated in the defense of Beiping. For confidants.

Liang Ping, who can be regarded as a family of martial arts, is well-known in this generation, and he is indeed able to lead troops to fight.

As for Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Xingzu, needless to say, he is one of the seeds of the lineage of descendants. Part of the reason why Li Xian was willing to give up the Beijing camp was to protect Gu Xingzu.

And the last Boss of Jing'an, Fan Guang, was promoted by Zhu Qiyu, and he was also appreciated by Yu Qian. He was regarded as a new relative.

Shi Jing mentioned three options, but in fact, it was nothing more than pulling out one from each force to make a difference, never mentioning his own attitude.

This kind of attitude that has nothing to do with him is what makes Zhu Qiyu feel disappointed.

If you make up your mind to clean up the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, then Fan Guang cannot be released.

As for Gu Xingzu, although he is fine now, it is not good to activate it so soon.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu said.

"Liang Pang is more secure. In this case, order Liang Ping to lead the Beijing army of [-] to Miaodi to succeed Wang Ji in quelling the rebellion. As for Wang Ji, when the decree arrives, let him return to Beijing for investigation."

Zhu Qiyu's unwavering voice echoed in the main hall, and on the other side, Yu Qian's complexion had turned dark into the bottom of the pot...
