Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 296 Everything is ready
There are now five cabinet ministers in the cabinet. After a period of running-in, the division of powers and responsibilities has gradually become clearer.

Although the sources of these submitted memorials are mixed, they are generally the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the hall officials and assistant officials of various monasteries, and the relatives of the military officials.

The memorandum of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been drafted by Wang Ao Piao, the old man is obviously very cautious, he only gave a few words, the matter is of great importance, please judge!

On the side of the temple supervisor, there are mainly Honglu Temple and Taichang Temple. This part is in charge of the secondary assistant Gao Gu, and his attitude is relatively clear. Missions can be sent, but Wala is cunning, so we must be careful not to send them back under the guise of the emperor. Disturb the border again.

In other words, Gao Gu supports the peace talks with Oala, but feels that he needs to be cautious when negotiating.

In addition, it is for the military ministers and relatives, and it is drafted by Yu Shiyue.

His position is also very clear. The situation on the border is still tense. Although Wala has retreated, there are still small groups of rogues who have repeatedly violated the border.

From the vote proposals of the three, it can be clearly seen that Gao Gu is cautiously supportive, while Yu Shiyue is opposed.

As for Wang Ao, I still can't figure out his thoughts for the time being, but judging from his current attitude, I'm afraid he is inclined to wait and see.

Gao Gu's attitude is not surprising. He came from a scholarly background, Xue Xuan, a great Confucianist, and him are good friends. Since Xue Xuan is on Yang Shan's side, it is normal for Xue Xuan to help lobby Gao Gu.

However, Yu Shiyue's attitude surprised him a little.

You know, at this time, it is risky to clearly propose that we should suspend welcoming back the Supreme Emperor.

Don't say anything to cater to the emperor, even Zhu Qiyu, the emperor, can't directly veto the proposal to welcome back the Supreme Emperor.

What's more, as a civil servant, the reputation among scholars sometimes has to be more important than the favor.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu turned around and asked Shu Liang.

"These days, Yu Shiyue in the cabinet, has there been any unusual behavior?"

One of the most important functions of Shu Liang's manpower in various places is to collect the whereabouts of the important officials of various families and investigate their contacts.

On weekdays, Zhu Qiyu didn't have time to memorize these one by one, but as the admiral of the East Factory, Shu Liang had to memorize them clearly.

After thinking for a while, Shu Liang said: "It's nothing special to go back to the emperor. Yu Ge is an upright person, and he didn't go out much during this festival. Most of them only sent greeting cards and annual gifts. However, in recent days, He actually walked to Lord Tianguan's residence a few times."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, a little surprised.

"Wang Wen?"

In his impression, Yu Shiyue and Wang Wen have never had any private friendship except for some official contacts.

With a slight movement in his heart, Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Has he visited Wang Wen before?"

Shu Liang shook his head and said.

"In the past, only when the Heavenly Official succeeded the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Yu Ge and Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of War went to congratulate him together. However, they only stayed for a cup of tea before leaving."

Yu Qian...

Zhu Qiyu seemed to have thought of something, and asked nervously, "What about this period of time?"

Seeing that the Son of Heaven paid so much attention to this matter, Shu Liang lifted his spirits and replied carefully.

"During this period, Yu Ge's elders went to the Lord Tianguan's mansion three times in total. They were on the evening of New Year's Eve, before the court opened the seal on the third day of the lunar new year, and today, after the trial of King Zhennan's case was concluded. "

"These three times, each time except for the New Year's Eve, I stayed for about an incense stick, and the other two times, it was about half an hour to an hour."

New Year's Eve?
In other words, Yu Shiyue's relationship with Wang Wen started after he left Yu Mansion that day.

Zhu Qiyu's expression was a little complicated.

Is it Yu Qian?

It seems that apart from him, there is no one in the court who can make Yu Shiyue trust so much.

But why would he do this?

Yu Qian should be the clearest about Wang Wen's attitude on this matter.

Although it is said that the matter of welcoming back the Supreme Emperor has never been discussed in a formal court meeting.

But in private, it is always unavoidable to mention this matter.

As one of Zhu Qiyu's most important ministers, Wang Wen and Yu Qian always have different opinions.

Wang Wen insisted that he should wait for the imperial court to regroup and send out troops to snatch the Supreme Emperor back, instead of compromising and giving him gold and silver in exchange for it.

But Yu Qian felt that now that Wala's vitality was seriously injured, and there was no threat to Daming in the short term, he could consider agreeing to his conditions appropriately and welcome back the Supreme Emperor in a peaceful way.

Because it was a private performance, Zhu Qiyu reconciled it every time he couldn't say a few words.

But both of them should be well aware of their attitude towards each other.

Why did he ask Yu Shiyue to find Wang Wen at this time?

Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu put the matter aside for the time being, turned to Cheng Jing and asked.

"Have you handed over the memos of Duke Feng and the others?"

Cheng Jing nodded, stepped forward and flipped through the stack of memorials twice, took out a few, put them in front of the emperor, and said.

"These books are the memorabilia of Feng Guogong Li Xian, Xin Chengbo Zhao Rong and several other relatives. The impeachment of Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji was timid and made the people of Miaodi suffer from hunger and cold, and most of them died of starvation. "

As he spoke, Cheng Jing secretly glanced at the emperor's face, and continued cautiously.

"In this memorandum, apart from impeaching Wang Ji, it also impeaches Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Qian for being ignorant, arrogant and conceited, deliberately defending Wang Ji, offending Tianyan, inviting directly to buy his name, and threatening the king."

Zhu Qiyu didn't have any special reaction. He had instructed Li Xian to do this matter.

Now the newly promoted old man has completely set foot on his big ship, and there is no room for retreat, so he can only do his best to do things well.

If this was changed from the past, a general like Wang Ji who held military power, and an important minister like Yu Qian who was full of power in the government and the opposition, he would hide one of them, let alone impeach two at a time?
Nodding his head, Zhu Qiyu asked again: "What's the reaction from the civil servant?"

Cheng Jing thought for a while, and took out a few more copies from the pile of memorials, and said.

"Grandpa Li has been traveling around the government these days, and he didn't deliberately keep this matter a secret. Therefore, as soon as this memorial was released, many censors immediately handed over impeachment memorials."

With that said, Cheng Jing divided the playbook into two piles and continued.

"These censors are divided into two factions. One faction directly targets Li Gongye and others, saying that they interfered in the affairs of the Ministry of War without authorization, attacked Zhongliang, and disturbed the army. In the case of Lord Li and Uncle Zhao, it is said that they have slandered the emperor, so you insist on going your own way, saying that they are treacherous officials and slandering officials."

"The other faction is to impeach the officials of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. The main people impeached are Cheng'anhou Guo Sheng, Prince Consort Xue Heng, Governor Tongzhi Liu Ju, Governor Qian Shi Sun Bin and others for neglecting their duties, neglecting their drills, and detaining the capital camp. Military pay, etc."

Zhu Qiyu turned over, a smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or civil servants, were most wary of the expansion of the power of the honored relatives.

As soon as Li Xian and the others moved, there was an immediate reaction here.

After reviewing these memorials one by one, Zhu Qiyu didn't approve any of them, but pushed them directly in front of Cheng Jing, saying calmly.

"Go and inform the cabinet, these bullets, and the matter of welcoming back the Supreme Emperor, tomorrow morning, let's go to the court to discuss together!"
