Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 349
In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

As Chen Mao's voice fell, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Luo Tong.

Luo Tong's expression also sank, he looked up at Chen Mao, and said coldly.

"Uncle, what does this mean? Why do you say it so unclearly? Just say that you suspect that the old man is speaking for the emperor in the palace!"

Chen Mao also refused to give an inch, and asked back.

"Isn't it? The matter of the mutual market, it is clear that the emperor is behind the push, and you go around, just want me to wait, don't block it."

"In the final analysis, the third master and others have already gone to Wala. Whether the Supreme Emperor can come back has nothing to do with whether the exchange market can be opened. In other words, even if you do as you said, the news will only let the Supreme Emperor come back. Difficulty increases."

"No matter how you look at it, it is only beneficial to the one in the palace!"

Luo Tong was trembling all over, couldn't help standing up, pointing at Chen Maodao.

"Nonsense, it is obvious that the second master just said that the matter of the mutual market should be delayed as much as possible, so the old man came up with this method. Uncle Ningyang, I think you have been demoted from the title, and you hold a grudge. I wish the British government would immediately confront the emperor. A fight, so I can avenge you? Have other plans? Hmph, I think you are talking about yourself!"

"presumptuous!"

Chen Mao also stood up, he was originally a warrior, although he was not young, but he was still tall, he walked in front of Luo Tong in three or two steps, and stared at him fiercely, as if he was going to fight in the next moment.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, it was Ren Li who reacted quickly, dodged between the two of them, and shouted.

"Uncle Ning Yang!"

Chen Mao stared at him coldly. After a while, he sat back in the distance angrily and stopped talking.

At this time, Zhang Min also came out to smooth things over, said.

"Everyone, don't be anxious, calm down, Mr. Luo, Uncle Ningyang has always been outspoken. He just talked about the matter. He was a little impatient and made a slip of the tongue just now. Don't be angry."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Chen Mao and spoke.

"Brother Shunqing, the fact that Lord Luo came here today shows that he trusts us. Before Brother Sijing left Beijing, he repeatedly asked in the letter that Lord Luo was loyal to the Supreme Emperor. Before the third brother left Beijing, he also praised us. Master Luo is a man, now that the third brother is not here, we should be united with sincerity, how can we be suspicious of each other?"

Although these words were consolation on both sides, in fact, there was a vague sense of blaming Chen Mao, which made his face darken.

Suppressing his anger, Chen Mao snorted coldly, turned his head and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Zhang Min sighed, a little helpless, so he shook his head and continued.

"Master Luo, although Uncle Ning Yang lost his composure just now, what he said is not unreasonable. If we want to stop the mutual market, then we can only let it fail the court council."

"If the court meeting is passed, even if it is not actually implemented, the spread of the news may be detrimental to the Supreme Emperor. Therefore, we may have to think of another way."

With the help of Zhang Min and Ren Li, Luo Tong's complexion improved a lot.

Hearing this, he twirled his beard and said hesitantly, "If that's the case, then I'm afraid it will be difficult."

As he spoke, Luo Tong leaned forward, lowered his voice subconsciously, and continued.

"To tell you the truth, ever since the Memorial of Honglu Temple was released to all yamen, there has been a lot of discussion on this matter in the government and the opposition. I also asked the same year who was working in the household department to inquire about it."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs has been preparing for this matter for a long time. Although I refused to go into details because of my fate in the same year, I revealed a piece of news."

"Over there, under the auspices of Shen Yi, the Household Department has already negotiated a very complete regulation. For this court meeting, the Household Department is determined to win."

Ren Li also frowned, and said: "That's right, on the civil servant's side, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War will definitely not object to this matter. Wang Ao of the cabinet also took the credit of the war against Oala to take the position of chief assistant, so There will be no objection."

"The rest are the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Ministry of Rites has always been wise and safe. Chen Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry has just left Beijing to preside over the river repair, and Chen Yi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate has made friends with Yu Qian. There is only the Ministry of Punishment left. What's the use of it."

Zhang Min's face was not very good-looking either.

After careful analysis, he was shocked to realize that half of the high-level people in the current court are already under the control of the emperor.

The civil servants are like this, and the situation on the military commander's side is not optimistic.

Among today's honorable relatives, Li Xian is in full swing, and after the transfer of the former Five Army Commander's Mansion, the few people in power are Zhao Rong, Yang Hong, Fan Guang, and Ren Li.

Among these few people, only Ren Li is his own.

Although the British government has a lot of manpower in the five-army governor's office, most of them are middle-level officials of the fourth and fifth ranks. Many of them are not even qualified to go to court, let alone the ability to influence the government.

Everyone was a little embarrassed, and after a while, Luo Tong said: "Although it is so, it is not impossible."

Zhang Fu himself was not a person who was good at planning, otherwise, his younger brother Zhang Fu would not be in charge of the power of the British government at that time.

Now that he has determined the goal of preventing the mutual market, he is very distressed about what to do.

Hearing that Luo Tong had another solution, he was overjoyed immediately, and asked: "What can Mr. Luo do, please tell me quickly."

But this time, Luo Tong fell silent, reserved and didn't speak, but turned his attention to Ning Yang Bo Chen Mao who had been silent since the very beginning.

Zhang Min was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized that Luo Tong was holding a grudge.

That's right, no matter what, he is the majestic left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking figure among civil servants.

After being threatened by Chen Mao just now, how could the anger in my heart be resolved in a few words.

It's just that this group of scholars will not show their emotions like they do, but at critical times, they will definitely take a cold breath and give you a hard time.

No, just figure it out...

Zhang Yu felt a little headache, after thinking about it, he turned around and said to Chen Mao.

"Brother Shunqing, since we have arrived at the British government, we are all on our own. Although Mrs. Luo didn't think carefully just now, it was out of kindness. You were really impulsive just now."

The words are euphemistic, but the meaning is very obvious, which is to convince Chen Mao to be soft.

Chen Mao's unattractive complexion suddenly turned darker. Holding the teacup on the table, he almost wanted to walk away.

But the meditation in the mansion during this period of time also made him understand his current situation.

He is no longer the Marquis of Ningyang who has made many military exploits. He is just an Uncle Ningyang who was condescended to be rescued by the British government in many ways.

At this point, he is no longer qualified to negotiate terms with the British government.

If you really step out of this door, the days after that will be even more sad.

On the contrary, although Luo Tong's official position is not particularly high, he is the most capable person among the civil servants in the British government.

In this kind of court battle, Luo Tong can play a much greater role than Uncle Ning Yang, who only knows how to fight on the battlefield.

Letting out a deep breath, Chen Maoyin's fists in his sleeves turned white from being pinched, but he had to say calmly.

"Lord Luo, the old man lost his temper just now, what can you do, please tell me!"

Seeing that the mighty Uncle Ning Yang finally lowered his head, Luo Tong's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he said.

"The old man just said something nonsense, the current situation, if you want to turn the situation around, there is only one way, knock the que!"
