Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 316 The Heavenly Official Enters the Palace
This court meeting has been tossing until now, and the sun is almost in full swing.

The elders left Fengtian Palace in twos and threes, and Zhu Qiyu also returned to Qianqing Palace.

Just after lunch, a waiter outside came in to communicate.

"My lord, my lord, please see me."

Zhu Qiyu raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face, Wang Wen really couldn't sit still with his short temper.

"Xuan!"

Not long after, Cheng Jing led Wang Wen in.

"The old minister has seen His Majesty."

"sit down."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, his expression was rather relaxed.

Qianqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom, under normal circumstances, ministers are not often summoned here.

However, after Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he was used to handling government affairs in the Qianqing Palace, so sometimes he summoned ministers and was also in the Qianqing Palace.

Of course, as the residence of the emperor, not everyone can be summoned in the Qianqing Palace. This has nothing to do with official positions, but only with holy grace.

So far, apart from Shu Liang, Lu Zhong and other close servants, there are only a handful of foreign ministers who can be summoned in Qianqing Palace.

Among these people, Wang Wen was also included.

Mr. Wang came to Qianqing Palace quite a few times, knowing that the emperor didn't care much about the red tape, so he didn't make any excuses, and sat down directly.

But after sitting down, Wang Wen hesitated and didn't speak directly.

On the contrary, Zhu Qiyu glanced at him with a smile, as if he saw through his embarrassment, and asked.

"Sir, you are here for the sake of the Supreme Emperor?"

This court meeting was full of twists and turns, and there were too many "accidents", but what confuses Wang Wen the most is that the emperor finally agreed to send envoys to welcome back the Supreme Emperor.

Although it is said that the emperor did not deliberately order it beforehand, Wang Wen is often with the king these days, so he is naturally clear about the emperor's attitude on this matter.

Because of this, he would try his best to oppose it in the early court, but what he didn't expect was that.

After arguing for so long, the case of King Zhennan was finally secured, but the emperor himself let go and agreed to the matter.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Wen spoke.

"Your Majesty is virtuous, and I miss my elder brother. I can understand, but I forgive you, it is not the best time for the Supreme Emperor to return to the court."

"In today's court, Marquis of Ningyang, Marquis of Cheng'an, Zhang Fu, Xiao Weizhen, Xue Xuan and others have obviously been in series for a long time."

"They want to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, not for the sake of the country, but hope that after the return of the Supreme Emperor, they can use this to fight for power and gain. When the court is in turmoil, it is definitely not a good thing!"

Because this place is Qianqing Palace, there are no outsiders, Wang Wen is less considerate when speaking, and does not hide it.

Although there are gentlemen like Xue Xuan who abide by the principles of etiquette and law in the disputes between courts and courts, they are mostly for their own interests.

The reason why Zhang Fu and others were obsessed with welcoming the Supreme Emperor back.

It was because they knew in their hearts that, as cronies who had been reused by the Supreme Emperor before, no matter what they did, it was impossible for them to become the closest confidants of the new emperor.

The so-called one emperor and one courtier, the emperor promoted Feng Guogong and supported the servants of the descendant's line, this has been fully exposed.

They are unwilling to give up the power in their hands, so they can only pin their hopes on the Supreme Emperor.

It's not that they hope that the Supreme Emperor will come back and be able to unseat the new emperor, but that the etiquette is there.

After all, the Supreme Emperor is the eldest brother of the new emperor. Once he returns to the court, if the emperor wants to continue to seize power from them, the Supreme Emperor can intervene.

What's more, after a hundred years of the new emperor, the throne will still return to the lineage of the Supreme Emperor. At this time, the idea of ​​welcoming him is to make plans for the future.

They could see this clearly, and so could Wang Wen.

So Wang Wen said that this time is not the best time for the Supreme Emperor to return to the court.

Zhu Qiyu ordered someone to serve Wang Wen a cup of tea, his face was still calm, but he did not answer Wang Wen's words, but asked rhetorically.

"The official said, when is the best time?"

It's hard to answer these words, Wang Wen's two gray eyebrows were twisted together, and after a while, Fang said cautiously.

"Your Majesty, the court situation is still not stable. Although Ningyanghou, Cheng'anhou and others have been taken down at the court meeting, apart from these leaders, there are Xiao Xiaoxiao in all ministries, temples, courtyards, and prisons." The younger generation wants to use the power of the Supreme Emperor to turmoil the court."

"My old minister's humble opinion, after the examination next year, Xu Tu can welcome back the Supreme Emperor."

In the end, Wang Wen was not a rotten scholar who was stubborn to the point of death. He knew in his heart that it would be a matter of time before the Supreme Emperor was welcomed back.

As Xue Xuan said, the Supreme Emperor stayed in Yibei for a long time, and if something happened, Daming and Wala would form a death feud.

At that time, whether it is to maintain the dignity of the country or to conform to the public opinion of the ruling and opposition parties, the war will definitely resume.

Daming has already been overwhelmed by using troops year after year, and really can't continue to fight.

In particular, it is even more impossible to take the initiative to start a war.

Similar to Taizong's time, such things as rushing thousands of miles, and the army penetrated into the hinterland of Mongolia are even more unthinkable.

Therefore, the Supreme Emperor must be brought back.

However, having to welcome back and welcoming back immediately are two different things.

A few days ago, Yu Shiyue came to his house and said that he was ordered by Yu Qian, and told him that someone wanted to take advantage of Zhengdan to make trouble and plan to welcome the Supreme Emperor back now, so Wang Wen became vigilant.

For this reason, he and Yu Shiyue deduced a lot of countermeasures, so that they could stand against Xiao Weizhen and others in court.

But what Wang Wen didn't expect was that this group of people was secretly implicated so much.

Xungui, foreign relatives, and civil officials were all involved.

That being the case, the Supreme Emperor cannot come back now.

Such a huge force cannot be completely loyal to the present day.

Once the Supreme Emperor returns, the situation in the court will be further divided. At that time, the two forces will confront each other, and the court will become extremely complicated.

So Wang Wen couldn't figure out why the emperor sent an envoy to Oara at this time.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Wen spoke.

"Your Majesty, since there is no grievance in the Zhennan King case, it doesn't matter if there is a small discussion between the government and the public. Ningyang Hou and others were imprisoned because they brought the blame on themselves. Your Majesty need not worry about it."

"The mission has not yet started preparations, and the staff and property at the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and the Ministry of Households are useless. If His Majesty allows it, I can go and run around."

Wang Wen's words were euphemistic, but his meaning was clear.

Although it is said that the emperor's golden words have been spoken, and the dispatch of envoys is imperative, it does not mean that there is no other way.

A mission supported by the imperial court and a mission that is constrained and stumbling everywhere can achieve completely different results.

As long as the emperor agreed, Wang Wen felt that it would not be difficult for them to make a trip for nothing.

After hearing Wang Wen's words, Zhu Qiyu laughed a little.

It turned out that in Wang Wen's view, he took the initiative to agree to send a mission because he took into account that after the news of the early court had spread, the outside world would have some discussion about him as the emperor.

Although the Zhennanwang case was not overturned, Ningyanghou and others who tried to welcome back the Supreme Emperor were sent to prison, although there were legitimate reasons.

But if someone with a heart comes to make a fuss, it is also a troublesome thing.

Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu said no to Wang Wen's proposal.

"No, not only don't obstruct, but you also have to tell the subordinates to make it easier for them. The scribes, attendants, cotton coats, gold and silver that need to be brought, as long as they want, give them all. There is no need to mention them in these sections. You don't have to compromise your dignity if you make things difficult for them."

Seeing Wang Wen's hesitant expression, Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, stretched out his hand to call Cheng Jing over, and gave a few orders.

So, Cheng Jing withdrew, and returned to the hall after a while, but this time, he had a lot of red-lacquered and wax-sealed military newspapers in his hands.

Zhu Qiyu ordered the general to report it to Wang Wen, and said lightly.

"These secret reports have been sent by Datong Military Town in the past month. Mister, you might as well take a look. Maybe you will gain something."
