Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 354 The Second Basket

Solidarity?

Luo Tong went over these words in his mind, and then understood the purpose of Ren Li's visit.

As Ren Li said, the situation they faced was actually the same.

Luo Tong had Xu Bin, Xiao Weizhen and others suppressing him, but Ren Li's superior would only suppress more people.

British government, Dingxihou's mansion, Ningyang uncle's mansion...

This gang has been heavily used during the orthodox period. As soon as the news of the civil engineering battle came, they began to actively prepare to welcome back the old relatives of the Supreme Emperor.

They are the ones who contributed the most in the process of welcoming back the Supreme Emperor.

As for Ren Li, like Luo Tong, he is just a pawn.

If you do things well, you can get some soup to drink. If you don't do it well, you may be just like that unlucky guy Cheng'an Hou Guosheng, who not only hated the emperor, but also was excluded from the core layer.

After thinking about this, Luo Tong's face softened, and he said, "Then according to Brother Yi, how should we unite?"

Seeing that Luo Tong changed his address back again, the smile on Ren Li's face grew wider and he said.

"Actually, this matter is simple to say. The reason why you and I are weak and inferior to others is because the British government initiated this matter and has prestige."

"But now, the third house of the British government is not here, and the second house in charge is talented and talented. Although Yang Shan, Xu Bin, Xiao Weizhen and others are trusted by them, those who were demoted were demoted, and those who left Beijing left Beijing."

"So now, it's your and my chance. Although the old man has not been in Beijing these years, he still has some old friends. If he can win them over, he will surely be able to help the Supreme Emperor."

Luo Tong was a little surprised, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Brother Shang Yi, you mean to get rid of the British government and go it alone?"

This is not a good idea.

In the current situation, they are already weak. If they want to engage in internal strife, they will fall apart immediately.

Luo Tong understood this truth, so he was willing to be this pawn.

If this is what Ren Li meant by "sincere unity", then Luo Tong can only say that he is not worth a friend.

Fortunately, Ren Li was not such a fool, he immediately shook his head and said.

"This statement is wrong. Now is the time when we need to be united. How can we fight each other, but even if we want to unite, there are differences between closeness and closeness, right?"

With that said, Ren Li raised his head and glanced in the direction of the British government, and said calmly.

"Just now, we left at the same time in the east and west directions, but when the old man passed the small gate on the west side, he saw the carriage that Uncle Ning Yang was riding in. From ancient times, you think that Uncle Ning Yang stayed in the British government because he did it on his own initiative. claim?"

Luo Tong's complexion was a little ugly, he really didn't notice this.

However, this is also understandable. After all, Uncle Ningyang is a veteran relative, and he has been with the British government for many years. In terms of trust, he must be better.

Ren Li struck while the iron was hot, and said.

"Xuegu, don't forget that Yang Shan recommended you to the British government after he was dismissed and had to leave Beijing. It was him who contacted the British government on his behalf, if Yang Shan could do it, why couldn’t we do it?"

Luo Tong understood.

Ren Li wanted to pull him to develop his power in the court together and strengthen his position in the lineage of the Supreme Emperor.

This was originally his plan, so Luo Tong nodded without much hesitation and said.

"There are many loyal and upright ministers in the court who are grateful for the kindness of the Supreme Emperor. If there is a chance, Luo will naturally contact them. However, just like this, it seems to be a solution to the symptoms, not the root cause?"

The British government has deep roots and has a great influence among the relatives.

Although Yang Shan was dismissed, Xu Bin and the others are still there. After they come back, they will naturally not be idle.

So even if they take advantage of this time to win over the courtiers, the effect they can play is limited.

And more importantly, it does not solve the fundamental problem.

No matter how many people they win over, it's just a slight increase in their right to speak among the Supreme Emperor's faction.

At least at this stage, they have always been centered around the British government. After all, the British government was the one who first advocated welcoming back the Supreme Emperor.

So Luo Tong didn't quite understand, what exactly was Ren Li doing all this tossing about?
Of course, Ren Li was not doing wasted work. Hearing Luo Tong's question, he knew that he had found the right person, and continued.

"Xuegu's vision is really unique. If that's the case, I won't hide it from you. Just a few days ago, I received a letter, and this letter was brought by Princess Changde."

Luo Tong suddenly trembled, staring straight at the letter that Ren Li took out from his sleeve, his heart couldn't help beating.

Seeing this, Ren Li smiled and handed the letter to Luo Tong.

The content of this letter is very simple. First, I greeted Ren Li's recent situation, congratulated him on taking charge of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, and then encouraged him to serve the court well. Huichang Bo.

Unlike ordinary letters, this letter is on payout but not signed, but how could Luo Tong not know who wrote this letter.

Moreover, one can know the elegant meaning by hearing the stringed songs.

This letter seems plain, but the focus is on the last sentence.

Obviously, those who have been in contact with the palace all the time are the British government. Why, the person who wrote this letter asked Ren Li to take care of the deposed Duke Huichang?

Luo Tong raised his head and happened to see Ren Li's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said.

"This letter was handed directly by Princess Changde to Brother Shangyi?"

Ren Li nodded and said lightly.

"That's right. When the eldest princess brought this letter over, she specifically mentioned that the son-in-law had been confined for many days. She missed her very much, but unfortunately she couldn't see each other. She also said that she only came to the old man's mansion these days except in the palace. Last time."

The implication is that the British government does not know about the existence of this letter, nor does Xue Heng.

Luo Tong's face was slightly excited, and he let out a long breath.

"So, the man in the palace no longer trusts the British government?"

All the affairs outside the palace have been handled by the British government, including the contact with the palace. This is one of the reasons why everyone is united around the British government.

But now, the man in the palace deliberately bypassed the British government and wrote directly to Ren Li, and his intentions were self-evident.

Ren Li smiled reservedly, and said.

"I don't want to speculate on the meaning of the nobleman, but I am in a different place. After what happened to Uncle Huichang, if the old man is that nobleman, I am afraid that I will not feel very comfortable. Besides, eggs cannot be put in the same basket. The nobleman should understand, otherwise he would not have written this letter."

In the final analysis, Uncle Huichang's demotion caused a rift between the British government and the palace.

Although Queen Mother Sun still has to rely on the help of the British government to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, but this does not mean that she will trust unreservedly as before.

The so-called power ministers are nothing more than because one family dominates.

After Huichang Bo's incident, Queen Mother Sun still began to think about checking and balancing the British government.

Holding the letter in his hand tightly, Luo Tong's brows slowly relaxed.

If it is said that wooing the courtiers before was a temporary solution but not the root cause, then with this letter, things will be quite different...

　About the non-marriage of the same surname, this is the author's negligence. It is true that the same surname cannot intermarry in the Ming Dynasty. The plot of the previous chapter has been slightly revised. Zhu Yi's younger sister has been changed to Zhu Yi's mother Wang's granddaughter. The small bug does not affect The direction of the plot, you will know when you look back...
