Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 347

The pattering rain kept falling, falling down on the bluestone slab along the eaves, the sound was broken, and a thunderbolt slid across the sky from time to time, adding a touch of color to the silent spring night.

The lantern on the carriage swayed, and it slowly stopped outside the small side door of the British residence. The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, revealing an old face.

It was none other than Ningyang Bo Chen Mao who was at the center of the storm some time ago.

The servants who had been waiting outside hurried forward with a respectful voice.

"Greetings to Uncle, Second Master and Marquis Ren have been waiting in the study for a long time, there are too many people at the gate, so I can only wrong Uncle to enter through the small door."

Hearing this address, Chen Mao's eyelids twitched slightly, but soon he calmed down, put on his coir raincoat, got out of the carriage, and followed the servant into the British residence through the side door.

The mansion is still brightly lit.

As soon as Chen Mao stepped into the door of the hall, he saw Zhang Yu coming up quickly, and said with an apologetic face.

"Brother Shunqing, I'm really sorry. These days, Jinyiwei has laid down a lot of manpower, and you were ordered to meditate in the mansion again. In order not to attract attention and avoid trouble, you have to wrong Brother Shunqing."

As he said that, Zhang Yu repeatedly cupped his hands, his tone seemed very sincere, which made Chen Mao's face look a lot better.

These days, Chen Mao's mood is indeed extremely bad.

Although judging from the results, being able to keep the title is already beyond expectations.

After he was released from prison, he learned the ins and outs, and he also knew how much he had paid to save him this time, even Hui Changbo was involved.

But even so, he was still in a bad mood.

Because after he was released from prison, all the relatives in the capital basically alienated him by coincidence.

There were even some relatives who didn't deal with him very much, and taunted him with nonsense during private gatherings.

In the past, he would have rushed to the mansion of these people and taught them a lesson.

But now, although he was not grounded, he was also ordered to return to the mansion to meditate. No matter how outrageous the rumors spread outside, he could only endure it.

But I didn't expect that when I arrived at the British government today, I could only enter through the small door.

Although he knew it was necessary, he still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Zhang Yu's hospitality and enthusiasm can be regarded as slightly offsetting this displeasure. Chen Mao forced a smile, and bowed his hands in return.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two went back to the living room and sat down, before Chen Mao had time to look at the people who came this time.

Now Zhang Fu and Xu Bin went to Oala as envoys, Yang Shan was dismissed and ordered to return home, Jiao Jing and Xue Heng were both confined in the mansion, and Jin Yiwei guarded them tightly, unable to come out at all.

Therefore, in this hall, Zhang Yu was the only person Chen Mao knew well.

In addition to Zhang Wei, there were Jiang Yi from Dingxihou's Mansion and Ningyuanhou Renli. To Chen Mao's surprise, Luo Tong, the censor of the left deputy capital, was also called over.

During the turmoil of the Zhennan Wang case, Luo Tong was also co-trial and should have been punished.

However, Chen Mao shouldered all the blame for his crimes, and Luo Tong made great contributions to defending Juyongguan during the War of Oala.

So he was not affected much, but was fined with a salary, but he never thought that he would appear on this occasion today.

Frowning slightly, Chen Mao looked at Zhang Min suspiciously, so Zhang Min explained.

"Brother Shunqing, before my third brother left Beijing, he asked me to rescue you. This time the emperor will give in, and the public opinion of the government and the public is also indispensable. In this matter, Luo Fudu Yushi is very helpful. Brother Sijing Before leaving Beijing, I left a letter for the old man, mentioning that I can discuss something with Vice Capital Censor Luo."

Nodding slightly, Chen Mao didn't ask any more questions.

Sijing is Yang Shan's name. On Wenchen's side, he has been active for so long, and Xu Bin is definitely not the only one who can be trusted.

Although he has left Beijing now, the person he recommended before leaving must be credible.

While speaking, Luo Tong also got up and cupped his hands, saying.

"Uncle Ning Yang, don't worry, the old man has been favored by the Supreme Emperor, and he has been thinking day and night about how to welcome the Supreme Emperor back. If there is anything he can do, he will be smashed to pieces."

With this statement, the atmosphere in the hall became much more relaxed.

After the little episode calmed down, Zhang Min brought up the business.

"I invite you to come here at this time because of the rumors that have been raging in Beijing recently. You must have heard that Tuotuobuhua sent a special envoy here to discuss peace with me. It seems that they are planning to start a mutual market with Tuotuobuhua."

After the words fell, Chen Mao was the first to speak. He frowned and snorted coldly.

"It's really absurd. Da Ming and Oirat went to war because they repeatedly robbed the border and used the name of tribute to cheat me of Da Ming's things. Now that we have won the battle, we want to open the market instead? I don't know if we won the battle or not. lost!"

Although he had a trip, Chen Mao's temper did not change.

He was born in the military and has been through battles for a long time. In his opinion, the opening of the exchange market is equivalent to the main initiative to make a peace, which is no different from losing a battle.

Ren Li followed suit and said, "That's right, Wang Jianzhai is so bold that he dared to reach an agreement with Tuotuo Buhua privately. It really is true that all the princes in the court are clay sculptures and wood carvings!"

After Honglu Temple's memorabilia was distributed to all yamen, the happiest thing was Ren Li.

Bauhinia closed, he was threatened by Wang Wen with the Wang Ming flag, he has always remembered it.

But not only was Wang Wen not punished for this, but he was promoted step by step, and took the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This made Ren Li unable to balance his mind.

So as soon as the news broke out, Ren Li was the happiest. He had planned a long time ago. This time, he must let this smelly and hard old bastard peel off his skin if he didn't die.

Luo Tong also said: "That's true. Wang Jianzhai relied on his power to exclude dissidents. Recently, he used the Jingcha to act recklessly. Hundreds of officials in the court have long been dissatisfied with him, but what he didn't expect is that he dared to make his own opinions. , putting Daming in a dilemma, it is really a heinous crime."

Luo Tong is a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now he is in Beijing, assisting in the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he feels the deepest about this Beijing Procuratorate.

In his opinion, the Beijing inspection by the Ministry of Officials was aimed at the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In just half a month, seven or eight censors had been deposed for various reasons.

Several of them are Luo Tong's cronies, and his dissatisfaction with Wang Wen has not lasted for a day or two.

Zhang Xiang was a little dazed. He had originally planned to explain the pros and cons of this, but he didn't expect that as soon as he spoke, these people became excited.

It saved him a lot of effort.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Min said, "Everyone is right, but what I'm thinking about is whether this matter will pose a danger to the Supreme Emperor in the north once this matter is accomplished."

As he said that, a trace of worry appeared on Zhang Yu's face, and he continued: "Everyone should know that although they surrender to Tuotuobuhua in name, they have always been at odds, and Tuotuobuhua also intends to get rid of them." First, it's just that due to strength, I haven't done anything."

"Once the mutual market is reached, the power of Tuotuobuhua will become stronger, and the two sides will inevitably tear their skins apart. At that time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not become angry and hate Daming because of the mutual market, and then attack the Supreme Emperor."

"Although our mission has now gone to Oara, it is better not to take this kind of risk."

With a long sigh, Zhang Min's expression became firm, and he said.

"So what I mean is that the exchange market must be stopped. Even if it can't be stopped, try to delay it as much as possible, at least until the mission returns!"
