Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 297
The sky was dimly lit, the palace gate opened slowly, and the elders climbed up the steps, heading towards the Wenhua Palace in a leisurely manner.

The elders who have been able to stand in the court for a long time have first-class eyesight and insight. Naturally, they can notice that today's morning court is very different from the usual ones. There is quite an atmosphere of dark clouds before the storm. .

Therefore, the morning court, which was supposed to have a relaxed atmosphere, was shrouded in a vaguely tense atmosphere from the very beginning.

"The Emperor is here!"

With the shout of the guiding officer, the originally somewhat chaotic queue suddenly became neat and orderly.

"See your majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

The emperor Jinkou Lun's voice came down, and the officials just got up.

Then, Cheng Jing took a step forward and said.

"Your Majesty has an order. There are three things to be discussed in the morning court today."

"Firstly, Xiao Weizhen, the deputy capital of the right, Jiang Wan, the Marquis of Dingxi, and Zhang Yu, the commander of the same acquaintance, each have a copy of the play, with the goal of peace in the world, the end of the war, please send a mission to Oala for peace talks, and welcome back the Supreme Emperor."

"Secondly, Feng Guogong Li Xian, Xin Chengbo Zhao Rong, etc. impeached Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji for shrinking, fearing and avoiding war, and impeached the Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Qianzhi who did not know, defended Wang Ji, and ignored the people of Miaodi .”

"Thirdly, Li Xin, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached Guo Sheng, Marquis of Cheng'an, Xue Heng, the captain-in-law, Liu Ju, the governor-general, and Sun Bin, the governor-general, and others.

There is no foreshadowing or greetings, just straight to the point.

Cheng Jing's words were no less than dropping a few bombs among the courtiers.

For a court meeting with such a definite content, as early as the day before, the corresponding memorandum would be sent to the Secretary of General Administration, and then distributed to each yamen.

Therefore, Cheng Jing didn't elaborate further, only briefly described the situation, and then retreated.

But even so, after he finished speaking, there was still a "buzz" and the discussion started.

In the end, it was a very important matter, so Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry. After waiting for a while, he stretched out his hand and pressed down, and said.

"The three matters are all of great importance, so let's do it one by one. Xiao Qing, Jiang Qing, and Zhang Qing will all immediately send missions to welcome the Supreme Emperor back. Do you think it is appropriate?"

Yu Shiyue was the first to speak. He was entrusted by Yu Qian. He was on guard against this matter for a long time, and immediately stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate. Firstly, when the civil military report first arrived in Beijing, our court sent missions several times. If we wanted to make peace with Ye, we would welcome the emperor back. However, he was very ambitious. , Treacherous, repeatedly blackmailed my court's gold and silver, but still refused to return it to the emperor."

"All the previous events are enough to show that he is not greedy enough. He wants to coerce the emperor to make my Ming court have no sincerity to release the emperor. Therefore, I think that the more eager our court is to welcome the emperor back, the more we will wait for the price first." But buy, the emperor is a threat, and he keeps asking for supplies from our court, so the only way to stop it quietly and make a long-term plan is the right way."

It is an unshakable fact that the Supreme Emperor must welcome back to the dynasty.

In the whole court, including the emperor, no one dared to say that the Supreme Emperor was left in Yibei.

Therefore, what can be debated is when and how to welcome back.

Yu Shiyue's view is actually the view of many court ministers.

It's not that Daming has never tried to rescue the Supreme Emperor, but he has sent a lot of money, silk, gold and silver, but the Supreme Emperor has not even met a few times.

Although many ministers in the court wanted to welcome the Supreme Emperor back, they didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Therefore, after Yu Shiyue finished speaking, many ministers immediately nodded in agreement.

Of course, there are also opponents.

Right Deputy Capital Censor Xiao Weizhen immediately stood up and retorted.

"How is it the same today as when it was civil engineering?"

"At that time, our army was defeated, and we were at the top of our momentum. If we wanted to send our troops south to seek our capital, we would naturally refuse to negotiate peace with our Ming Dynasty and release them to the emperor."

"But now I have been defeated first, fled in embarrassment, my Ming Dynasty's capital camp has been reorganized, the soldiers are fine and food is sufficient, the world is peaceful, the monarch and ministers are united, and the government and the people are looking forward to the return of the emperor."

"In contrast to the various tribes of Mongolia, the situation between Oala and Tatar is becoming increasingly tense, and they are quite ready to go to war. Under such circumstances, if my mission goes to Oara to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, how dare we stop it?"

These words were so straightforward and full of momentum that Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but put his eyes on him, with a somewhat unpredictable expression.

He also knows this person, the confidant of the Supreme Emperor, who once followed Beizheng.

He, Yang Shan and Li Xian were among the few civil servants who survived the civil war.

Although the civil war suffered heavy losses, no matter how much they were to blame, they could not be blamed on ordinary civil servants like them.

What's more, several of them had followed Kuang Ye, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, to remonstrate the Supreme Emperor not to listen to Wang Zhenzhi's words during the march, and to return to the army as soon as possible.

Therefore, after returning to the court, they all returned to their original posts.

What's more, Xiao Weizhen was promoted from Youqian Capital Censor to You Vice Capital Censor because of his meritorious service when he was sent to the border patrol some time ago.

Xiao Weizhen, to be honest, is not particularly capable, but he is eloquent and flexible.

In his previous life, although he did not participate in the restoration of the Nangong Palace, he made great efforts to welcome back the Supreme Emperor.

It was under his strong support that Yang Shan was able to obtain the status of envoy of the mission.

But he didn't expect that now that things were going around in circles, he still appeared.

Facing Xiao Weizhen's rebuttal, Yu Shiyue sneered and said.

"Supplied with good soldiers and food, the world will be peaceful? Master Xiao is too optimistic!"

"Leaving aside, the Miao rebellion in Southwest China has been postponed for many years. In the generation of Fujian, civil rebellion occurred from time to time. The rebel army recruited by the Marquis of Ningyang surrendered and rebelled again, and disturbed the local area again. It is still too late for my court to appease the rebellion. Why do you say that the world is peaceful?"

"As for the fact that there are enough soldiers and food, it is even more nonsense."

"In the Battle of Oara, although our army won, it suffered heavy losses. The cities on the border are still being repaired, the treasury is empty, the people are exhausted, and there are still many small groups of cavalry on the border, which intrude from time to time, making our frontier army exhausted."

"Although the appearance of the regiment battalion in the capital has been greatly improved under the auspices of the Minister, the governors of the five armies have been slack from top to bottom, withholding military salaries and not supervising drills.

Xiao Weizhen was at a loss for words for a moment, he didn't expect that Yu Shiyue would catch him and make a big fuss about himself in a moment of carelessness.

In all fairness, the current situation of the imperial court is indeed not very good.

But fortunately, he was not fighting alone. Seeing Xiao Weizhen being refuted, Dali Temple Minister Xue Xuan suddenly looked a little unhappy, and stepped forward to speak.

"What Yu Ge said is indeed true, but it is all internal affairs of the imperial court, and there is no obstacle to welcoming the emperor back."

"My imperial court is not going to send troops to attack Wala on a large scale and take back the emperor, but to send envoys to negotiate peace and welcome the emperor back."

"Da Ming is certainly empty now, but Wala's vitality is also seriously injured, and he never dares to lightly fight."

"As Yu Ge said just now, he is also cunning first. If his power is at its peak, he will not be easily released to the emperor. Only now, when his vitality is seriously injured and he is threatened by Tuotuobuhua, will he be willing. Be good to Daming."

"Therefore, now is the best time to welcome back the emperor. If you miss this time, you must first regain your power before you fall into danger..."
