Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 277
The sky is getting darker, but the capital is not as quiet as usual, and the red lanterns are hung at the door of every house.

Wanjia lights are brightly lit, and the sound of firecrackers is endless.

What happened in the imperial court has nothing to do with the ordinary people. New Year's Eve is the biggest festival of the year, and the entire capital is filled with joy and joy.

On this day of national celebration, some people are working overtime.

Different from the mansions of many court officials, Yu Qian's mansion is not big, the courtyards of the two entrances are very clean, there are no slaves and maidservants in the house, and there are no gold and jade artifacts, only a few old servants are busy in the yard Busy to go, it seems a little deserted.

Looking at it from a glance, Yu's mansion does not look like the private residence of a minister of the seventh rank, but rather like the residence of a fifth- and sixth-rank official who has just arrived in the capital.

At this moment, in the reception hall of the Yu Mansion, Yu Qian was sitting at the top with a serious expression, and the cabinet minister Yu Shiyue and the Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Gang were at the bottom.

"...Okay, here are the important tasks that the Ministry of War needs to deal with urgently after the opening of the seal in the next year. The emperor has clearly stated that you will be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry. You should perform your duties and do not slack off."

In any case, Yu Qian is still very concerned about government affairs.

After returning to the mansion, he immediately sorted out some government documents in his hands, and explained them in detail to Yu Gang, the Minister of the Ministry of War who followed Yu Shiyue.

After receiving the last document handed over by Tai Qian, Yu Gang finally secretly heaved a sigh of relief, nodded heavily, and said.

"Lord Shangshu, don't worry, I will do my best to guard the Ministry of War for my lord."

As he said that, he secretly glanced at Yu Shiyue who was drinking tea next to him, and then at Yu Qian who was too kind to him, and couldn't help swallowing.

He was supposed to be resting at home today, Xiu Mu, but unexpectedly received a visit from the cabinet elder Yu Ge.

Before I figured out what was going on, I heard that the boss of my Shangshu had a bad luck in front of the imperial court, and was banned for a month, and he was asked to take charge of the ministry temporarily.

As far as government affairs are concerned, Yu Gang is not worried. It is only a month. There are no major issues on the border now, and the pressure on the Ministry of War is much less. It is just to maintain the daily operation.

But after arriving at Yu Mansion, the atmosphere between Master Shangshu and Elder Yu Ge really made Yu Gang a little restless.

As we all know, the two have a very good personal relationship, and most of their political opinions are the same. Even if there is a dispute, it will be reconciled soon.

But this time, after arriving at Yu's mansion, Master Shang Shu didn't even serve Mr. Yu Ge a snack, but gave him half a pot of tea, which was still cold.

When the official duties were handed over, the two basically had no communication throughout the whole process.

When facing himself, Yu Shangshu's attitude is kind and refreshing, but when he turned to Mr. Yu Ge, he kept a straight face, expressionless.

Seeing this difference in attitude, Yu Gang was terrified.

After all, the handover of official duties was almost over, Yu Gang didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he bowed his hands and said.

"It's about time, and I'm here to wish Lord Shangshu a New Year's Eve. Today, on New Year's Eve, I have to go back to stay with my old mother to watch the new year, so I won't stay at your mansion any longer. My lord forgive me."

Yu Qian nodded, and said softly: "It should be, today is Xiu Mu, please come to my house to work for so long, thank you for your hard work."

With that said, Yu Qian got up, glanced at Yu Shiyue who was still sitting still, his face turned cold, and said.

"The handover of official duties is over, please invite Mr. Yu too. Yu's humble house is simple and poor, and he cannot afford to entertain Mr. Yu."

Yu Shiyue's face was a little ugly for such an obvious driving away, but in the end, he still sat still, but turned around, squeezed out a smile, and said.

"Yu Shilang, it's getting late, you can go back first, the old man still has some things to do, so I won't go with you."

Regarding the cold war between the two big brothers, Yu Gang couldn't stand it anymore, seeing this situation, he stood up and saluted, saying.

"Then I will go back first, sorry."

After finishing speaking, he rolled up the documents on the case, and Yu Shilang quickly took two steps back, and quickly slipped away.

After Yu Gang left, there were only Yu Qian and Yu Shiyue left in the hall, except for an old servant who served the Yu family.

Yu Qian turned around and sat down on the chair, still with a dark face, said.

"Old Yu Ge, it's getting late. I don't know if you have any official business to hand over to Yu. If not, please go back!"

Seeing Yu Qian's attitude of rejecting others from thousands of miles away, Yu Shiyue put down the teacup in his hand, his face also sank, and said.

"Yu Tingyi, let me tell you, since I left the palace, the old man has been enduring your bad temper, but don't go too far!"

Yu Qian snorted and said coldly.

"You are too flattering and have no integrity. I never thought that you would become such a despicable person when you entered the cabinet. It was Yu who misjudged someone before. I have nothing to say to you, so please go back!"

"you!"

Yu Shiyue felt tight in his chest, pinching the wooden handrail with both hands, suppressing the urge to walk away, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

"Your majesty has made a decision in his mind about today's matter. You have made a fuss like this, and your majesty has never backed down. It can be seen that your attitude is firm. Even if the old man and others try to persuade you, what's the use of it?"

"Military affairs are too sensitive after all. I shouldn't have intervened too much. In the scene at that time, could it be possible that you want the old man to learn from you and threaten to resign, and Zuo Shunmen will make trouble again?"

"Officer Yi Yi, at most, it's just a waste of time and more money and food. It's not harmful to the overall situation of the court. If there is a confrontation between the monarch and his ministers, and the suspension of the government, can you Yu Tingyi take the responsibility?"

For this explanation, Yu Qian obviously did not accept it, sneered, and threw out two words: "Excuse!"

Yu Qian's attitude became more and more impatient, he simply stood up, came to the door, pushed the door open, stretched out his right hand, and said.

"Differences do not conspire with each other, since you and I don't agree with each other, why bother to talk more? Mr. Yu Ge, please!"

Yu Shiyue's attitude is well cultivated, and the friendship with Yu Qian for so many years has kept him from getting angry.

But Yu Qian's words really made him a little bit unbearable. The moment he slapped the table, he got up and was about to leave.

However, as soon as he got up, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing a few snowflakes towards his face at the door pushed open by Yu Qian.

The cold feeling made Yu Shiyue calm down a little.

Looking at Yu Qian's face sinking like water, he suddenly felt a little strange.

He has known Yu Qian for many years, and he understands his temperament. This person is a bit stubborn, and sometimes, he is indeed a little impulsive.

But after all, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, so he won't see the situation clearly, let alone blame others at will.

The situation in the palace today, not to mention Yu Shiyue, anyone who came here, in the scene at that time, had to follow the path of the emperor, otherwise, the contradictions would intensify and the situation would become completely uncontrollable.

With Yu Qian's eyesight, it is impossible for him not to see this.

You must know that politics is not all about confrontation, and sometimes compromise is necessary. It is his responsibility as a cabinet minister to ease the conflict between the inner court and the outer court. From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with what he did.

But Yu Qian's reaction now...

It really doesn't look like what a minister of the Seven Ministers who has a deep understanding of the operation of the imperial court should have. On the contrary, he looks like a young censor who has just stepped into his official career and feels that the world is black and white.

A few flakes of snow fell on his robe and quickly melted into snow water. A burst of coolness hit Yu Shiyue's mind again.

He suddenly reacted.

From the time Yu Gang just said his goodbyes, every word Yu Qian said to him was to drive people away.

This is not like Yu Tingyi's style.

He is a sure thing, and he must argue with others for right and wrong.

Nowadays, no distinction is made between black and white, and only an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away is really unusual!
Yu Shiyue just stood there, unconsciously raising his hand and twirling his beard. After a while, he suddenly calmed down, took two steps back, sat back in his chair, and said calmly.

"It's very windy and snowy outside, you and I can be regarded as colleagues, and let the old man rest here for an hour, and when the wind and snow subside, the old man will leave."

"If Yu Shangshu thinks the old man is an eyesore, he can just leave the old man here alone."

Seeing Yu Shiyue's relaxed look, Yu Qian's body froze.

After a while, he sighed long, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to close the wide open door, then turned around and sat down again, smiling wryly.

"Brother Shi Chao, why did you come here!"
