Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 327 Yu Qian's Status

In the Wenhua Palace.

All kinds of eyes fell on Yu Qian who was standing in the hall, with regret, worry, and worry, all of which were different.

The shock that the military newspaper brought to the ministers was only temporary after all.

After a brief moment of confusion, the elders quickly regained their sanity.

It should be said that things have developed to this point, and the situation is out of control.

Logically speaking, Wang Ji and Chen Bing Chenzhou and Yuanzhou may have their own selfish intentions, but the reason why they have not been blamed by the court shows that there are still certain strategic considerations.

The Miao people rebelled in mid-April. At first, the imperial court thought it was a small local rebellion, so they sent Gongju and [-] troops to put down the rebellion.

Gong Ju led his army to Miaodi at the end of May, but only after he arrived did he discover that the Miao rebellion had spread widely, not only surrounded several cities one after another, including Pingyue City, which was trapped deep in Miaodi, the number of rebels It even reached a terrifying nearly 10 people.

[-] vs. [-], the strength is too great.

So the palace gathered fast horses and flew to report to the court for help.

The army arrived in Beijing in mid-June, just as the border situation was tense, and the Supreme Emperor was secretly preparing for a personal conquest, so it was not appropriate to use the Beijing camp.

Therefore, the imperial court ordered Wang Ji's army, who was conquering Luchuan, to go for reinforcements.

Wang Ji received an order in July to transfer from Luchuan to Huguang. The army had a lot of food and supplies, and marched slowly. It was not until the end of September that they arrived in Chenzhou.

Therefore, Wang Ji chose to stand still on the grounds that the army had just arrived, the terrain, and the situation were not familiar.

So in fact, the time he Chen Bing has been up to now is about two months to less than three months, and it is winter, so the logic still barely makes sense.

Of course, since the impeachment of Wang Ji by Xungui some time ago, there have been rumors in the capital that Wang Ji was watching the turmoil in the court, supporting his own self-respect, and observing the situation, but there is no actual evidence for this statement. Just rumors.

This is also the reason why the courtiers were arguing endlessly just now. From a strategic point of view, Wang Ji's approach is not completely unreasonable.

But court disputes are sometimes illogical.

If you have a big reason to put it out, a love letter written in blood and tears is enough to overcome everything.

Facing this military report written almost by the lives and perseverance of Pingyue soldiers and civilians, even with countless justifications, it seems pale and weak at the moment.

What's more, Yu Qian is not a person who can talk smartly.

Facing the emperor's angry questioning, Yu Qian bowed down to the ground with a strong sense of guilt on his face.

"Your Majesty, I have no excuse. The Pingyue matter is due to my dereliction of duty. I don't know people well. I have trapped Pingyue's soldiers and civilians in fire and water. I am willing to plead guilty. I have no face to stand on the court. Your Majesty, please resign as a minister. , go to prison for crime."

After finishing speaking, Yu Qian took off the official hat on his head, kowtowed to the ground, as if pleading guilty.

"No..."

"Shaobao..."

"Yu Shangshu..."

Yu Qian's actions obviously startled all the ministers present. After reacting, all the elders stepped forward to stop them.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne, looked at Yu Qian below, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He could see that Yu Qian's words were sincere, he was true, and he felt deep self-blame for what happened to Pingyue soldiers and civilians.

Huang Hao's military report shocked the officials, but brought Yu Qian guilt and self-blame.

Before this military report was announced, the court, except for Zhu Qiyu, including Yu Qian, did not actually have a particularly clear understanding of the situation in Miaodi.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qiyu insisted on immediately replacing the commander-in-chief. Ping Yue couldn't hold on for long.

But Yu Qian is Yu Qian after all.

Today, his status, reputation and prestige are determined, even if he wants to resign, it will not be so easy.

Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, immediately stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, the fact that Pingyue was besieged for nearly seven months was actually a mistake in the court's decision-making. Wang Ji's command was improper. The so-called general is out, and the emperor's order is not accepted. As the general officer of the recruiting army, Wang Ji's frontline strategy is based on his own situation. It is determined that the Ministry of War can only do its best to ensure logistical supplies.”

"Now that the Pingyue army and people are in this situation, it is actually Wang Ji's improper strategy formulation and ineffectiveness in suppressing the rebellion. It is definitely not the fault of Shangshu alone. How can it be completely blamed on the Ministry of War."

Obviously, in just a short moment, Chen Yi had already made a decision.

Compared with Wang Ji, it is obvious that Yu Qian is more important to the court.

What's more, once the Pingyue military report was published, Wang Ji's charges of improper command and fear of avoiding war were confirmed.

Rather than both of them getting involved, it is better to let Wang Ji bear the charge.

Chief Assistant Wang Ao also spoke out.

"Your Majesty, since the civil war, he has been pressing ahead step by step. The situation in the court is critical, and the border war is imminent. Yu Shangshu was ordered to rectify the Beijing camp and assist in border affairs. The government and the people worked together to focus on the border war. "

"In this war, the affairs of the Ministry of War were complicated. In addition, after the civil engineering battle, most of the officers of the Ministry of War were promoted temporarily and could not be familiar with the affairs of the Ministry. Only Yu Shangshu worked hard and worked hard to maintain it, and our army won a big victory."

"At that time, the country was in danger, and the artifacts were in danger. The imperial court used troops on both sides. It was inevitable that they could not take care of it for a while. I implore Your Majesty to be merciful and forgiving, and to think carefully."

What this said actually makes sense.

Since August last year, civil engineering changes have also approached first. The emperor's ascension to the throne and the Bauhinia battle did not finally settle down until the end of October.

However, in the next month, the Ministry of War was not idle. It assisted the Ministry of Industry to repair the side wall, count soldiers, issue pensions, replenish the border army and horses.

Compared with the southwestern corner, it is obvious that the safety of the border is more important.

When the rectification is almost done here, the New Year's Day will come, and all the officials will know what will happen next.

The emperor called Yu Qian into the palace on New Year's Eve, and he was determined to replace the general conscription officer...

Wang Ao's statement was recognized by many officials present.

"That's right, Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu has worked hard for the imperial court, and has been sleeping all night. After the civil engineering battle, the imperial court is in danger, and Yu Shangshu was ordered in the face of danger. There is no one who can surpass the imperial court."

"Your Majesty, the incident in the Miao area is actually Wang Ji's fault, not the fault of the Ministry of War. There are priorities. Yu Shangshu helped His Majesty to protect the country and relieve the border crisis. He did not take the Southwest into consideration. Even if there is dereliction of duty, it is understandable."

Countless officials stood up one after another and pleaded for Yu Qian.

Facing such a scene, Li Xian swallowed, and quietly stood back to the distance.

All he received was to take back the Beijing camp from Yu Qian.

But it never occurred to him to drive Yu Qian out of the court.

This is simply impossible!
You must know that after the Civil War, the situation facing the imperial court can be regarded as the greatest crisis since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Two major events to change the crisis situation, one is to support the establishment of the Changjun, and the other is to prepare the frontier defense in time, command properly, and win the great victory at Zijingguan.

As for these two things, the first one was initiated by Li Xian, but in the end it was Yu Qian who contributed the most.

The last one is to repel Wala.

Naturally, the Son of Heaven deserves the first credit, but among the courtiers, in terms of credit, Yu Qian, who sits in the capital, is in charge of defense mobilization, and logistics support, is not inferior to Wang Wen, who is in command at the front.

With these two great achievements, as long as he is not in a daze and plotting a rebellion, no one can do anything against Yu Qian.

Even if he wanted to resign, the whole court would not agree.

So Li Xian aimed at the power of the Beijing camp from the very beginning.

But who would have thought that Yu Qian, a stunned young man, would resign and go home.

Li Xian recalled that the last time this kind of pleading scene happened, it was when the ministers complained about the former Heavenly Official King.

At this time, it's better not to talk.

However, in the face of the court's intercession, the emperor, who has always listened to advice and accepted advice, was merciful and forgiving, but this time he was rarely silent, and did not open his mouth for forgiveness for a long time.

At this time, Chen Xun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, I think that although the Ministry of War has committed this incident, it is far from being considered a crime. The person who should be judged for the crime should be Wang Ji, the general officer of Chen Bing Chenzhou who has not moved forward!"

　It's a bit late, Calvin, I hope tomorrow will be smoother... See you tomorrow~
