Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 375 It's even more of a knock!

After leaving the British residence, Luo Tong's complexion immediately sank, got on the sedan chair, and gave instructions to the attendant beside him.

"Go to Ningyuanhou's Mansion."

The mansions of nobles are all in this area, Luo Tong deliberately made a detour, passed a few inconspicuous paths, and then stopped outside the small side door of the Hou Mansion.

The guard at the door had already received the order, and when he saw the greeting card, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he led Luo Tong into the mansion to wait.

After a stick of incense, Ren Lifang entered the gate of the mansion, and after getting the reward, he entered the hall in a busy manner.

"Lord Luo has been waiting for a long time. You left early just now. If this Marquis leaves with you, you may be suspicious. That's why you stayed in the British government for a while."

Luo Tong didn't react at all. It should be said that he is in a very bad mood right now.

At that time in the British government, for a moment, he almost had the idea of ​​going to the palace to present everything to the emperor, and turning against each other.

But only for a moment, he strangled the thought.

These people from the British government are plotting to bring back the Supreme Emperor. Up to now, this matter is no longer a particularly secretive matter. When Zhang Fu stood up and asked to send a mission, their position of being close to the Supreme Emperor has already Among the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, it has become a well-known fact.

But this is not a fault, and it is useless to sue. The matter of knocking the que is somewhat useful, but the problem is that he has no evidence!

After all, from the beginning to the end, the British government has never touched this matter.

Even this morning, they didn't express any opinions on the matter of the mutual market, and they seemed to stay out of it.

The emperor didn't trust him in the first place, but now he gradually has his own team. Under such circumstances, he rashly took refuge in the past, with a red mouth and white teeth, why should the emperor trust him?

All he could get out was the list of a few officials, but what was the use of that.

When Luo Tong got the list, he realized that this time, the reason why Wang Wen targeted the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time was because of them.

Among the censors who were relegated from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, half of them are on this list.

Luo Tong even suspected that the emperor had long known who belonged to this group of relatives in the court, but there was no reason to clean them up.

They accused Wang Wen of abusing his power and eliminating dissidents at the court meeting. Now it seems that it may be right to hit the right track!
Taking a step back, even if the emperor is willing to believe him, it is impossible for the emperor to convict several veteran relatives based on his one-sided words.

In the Zhennan King incident, the reason why Chen Mao and others were able to be imprisoned was not only because of Xue Xuan's accusation, but also because Chen Mao and others had offended the clan to the death.

There was collective pressure from the clan princes, and at the time of the imperial trial, they were too biased towards King Guangtong, which aroused the suspicion of the courtiers. Finally, with the testimony of King Guangtong and others, they were convicted of the crime .

But if he does this, it is more likely that he will not get it right, and then he will be beaten up, and the British government will use the old case of the year to kill him.

You must know that the old case back then was not a light sentence, but a concealment of the crime. It was the Dingxi Hou Mansion who interceded with Wang Ji and asked Wang Ji to conceal his crime of reselling arms from the court, leaving only the charge of corruption to report to the court. The imperial court, so the punishment was not so heavy.

This is the biggest reason for Luo Tong's hesitation.

Dingxihou's Mansion has detailed evidence about his reselling military weapons in the past. If this case is opened in the court, even if he has taken refuge in the emperor, it may be difficult to keep him.

He didn't feel at all that the emperor would blatantly interfere in the judicial trial for such a worthless person like him.

Didn't you see that the Manchu court attacked Wang Wen today, and the emperor didn't intervene?

So this road, in Luo Tong's view, is only a little less risky than Kou Que.

The only thing that made him feel less hopeless was that if there was a big trouble, the Dingxihou Mansion, which was involved in favoritism and fraud, would definitely not have a good time.

Although it is not enough to cause the Dingxi Hou Mansion to lose its title, it is very possible to withdraw from the political center of the court just like Uncle Ning Yang.

Therefore, in the British government at that time, compared with the risk of being knocked out at this time, he still tended to take a gamble that the British government would not really fight him to the death.

This is also the reason why he was tearing his face and wanted to walk away.

However, Ren Li's last words made him see a turning point.

So, he couldn't wait to come to Ningyuan Hou's mansion, wanting to ask for an explanation.

Now that the matter was over, Luo Tong was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries, so he asked straightforwardly.

"What exactly is the meaning of Lord Hou? In this case, if you knock on the gate by force, you don't need to find out the old case, and Luo will also be sent to jail. If so, Luo might as well just do nothing and wait for the officials." If Luo is sent to Nanjing, he might be able to settle down safely."

Hearing Luo Tong's questioning tone, Ren Li smiled wryly, raised his hand and pressed down, and said.

"Lord Luo, be safe and don't be impatient. Since the Marquis has asked you to agree, there is naturally a way to ensure that you can safely pass through the hurdle of knocking on the gate."

As he spoke, Ren Li took a sip of tea slowly, and Fang spoke under Luo Tong's slightly impatient gaze.

"At this time, the risk of knocking on the que is indeed not small, but Zhang Yu and the others are right. The exchange market and the early statement of the emperor will indeed pose a threat to the safety of the mission, so the knock on the que must still be carried out. This is to protect the mission. Group, we have to do it."

Seeing that Luo Tong's face darkened, as if he was about to walk away, Ren Li hurriedly continued.

"However, although it is necessary to knock on the door, it may not be necessary for you, Lord Luo, to come forward in person. Didn't we already decide on the escape plan for Lord Luo last time? Just do it like this!"

As early as when he was planning to knock on the que, Luo Tong didn't plan to go there himself, he and Ren Li made an agreement.

When the time came for him to knock down the gate, on the way to Miyagi, he would find a reason to leave the main force and let the gang of stunned youths "join up" first.

Then he found a place where no one was around, pretended to be attacked, passed out on the spot, and successfully escaped the beating.

Simple and straightforward, but it works!
Luo Tong even made up his mind, intending to have someone really beat him with a stick, so as to make the fake one real.

But this strategy, put it now, is obviously not feasible.

Seeing Ren Li's confident expression, Luo Tong not only did not feel relieved, but became more irritable. He couldn't help standing up, pacing back and forth in the hall, and said.

"Master Hou, it's not that simple! At that time, we made the most optimistic plan, let Chen Yi and Gao Gu, or at least one of them, be the leader, so that Luo could escape in the chaos."

"But now, Chen Yi is protecting himself and making it clear that he doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water. Gao Gu is also withdrawn. If there is no one to organize such a thing, it will be a mob. If you don't get to the Meridian Gate, you will To be dispelled by Jin Yiwei, that is really a waste of effort!"

"and……"

Luo Tong stopped in his tracks, his brows were tightly frowned, his expression was a little more worried, and he turned to look at Ren Lidao.

"I was in the British government just now, and the old man had some things to say that were hard to say. At that time, Luo went to persuade Chen Yi to come forward. Although he flatly refused, he didn't think much about it."

"After all, he has always been at odds with Wang Wen, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has recently had a tense relationship with the Ministry of Officials, and Chen Yi himself is against the mutual market."

"However, his performance in the early court today made Luo wonder whether Chen Yi had disclosed this matter to the emperor, otherwise, there is no way to explain why his attitude towards Wang Wen changed so quickly."

"If Luo's conjecture is true, I'm afraid that at this moment, the emperor is waiting for us to knock on the que, so as to take advantage of the opportunity to gain power!"
