Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 389

This question is on point.

Chen Mao nodded, with a wider smile on his face, and said.

"Of course not. Just after Zhu Yi left the palace, it was almost sent out together with the imperial decree from the Wang family, and there was also an imperial decree allowing Zhu Yi to go to Yao'erling for a funeral."

"However, what's interesting is that it clearly states that Zhu Yi will welcome Zhu Yong's body back according to the etiquette of the Duke..."

"what?"

Zhang Min frowned, his face slightly surprised.

Also belonging to an honorable family, the British Duke Zhang Fu had just passed away, so Zhang Xiang was naturally very clear about the funeral rituals.

You know, not long ago, the court had just confirmed what happened to Zhang Fu.

Not only was Zhang Fu officially named Dingxing County King, but he was also given the posthumous title of "Zhonglie".

At this time, Zhu Yong, who is also the Duke of the State, will be demoted to be buried with the Duke of the State. The meaning of it has to be thought-provoking.

It seems that, as Chen Mao said, the effect of this rumor is greater than what they imagined.

This can be regarded as one of the few good news in recent days, which finally brought a little smile to Zhang Min's face, said.

"Now the emperor, after all, was helped to the throne by civil servants, and he couldn't get rid of the burden of reputation. Zhu Yi rushed to flatter him, but in the end, he was not beaten by eggs. After this incident, he became a country. If you want to get back the Duke's title, I'm afraid it's really far away."

Chen Mao also nodded and said in agreement.

"Isn't it? This kind of luck has always been shameless for civil servants. The title of Duke Cheng's mansion has been at loggerheads for a long time."

"Now that the situation has become like this, I'm afraid that the civil servants will be more stubbornly stuck on the title of Duke Cheng's mansion to seize the title. Seeing it like this, for the sake of his own reputation, the emperor doesn't intend to ask about this matter."

"Maybe in a few days, those civil servants will find some reason to cut off the title of Duke Cheng's mansion."

Hearing this, Zhang Min shook his head and said.

"It's hard to come to a conclusion so quickly. After all, Zhu Yi and Hu Wei's father-in-law are in the court, so they still have some face. That old guy is not an easy master to deal with."

"Besides, when Zhu Yong was around, he always paid respects to civil servants. Although it was said that the tea was cold, there were still some people who were thinking about incense and fire."

Hearing Zhang Min's words, Chen Mao suddenly lifted his spirits and said.

"This is what the old man wants to discuss with the second master today. Earlier, that kid Zhu Yi wanted to lean on the emperor's side."

"However, after this incident, whether it is due to the public opinion of the government or the public, or other considerations, the emperor is bound to neglect Cheng Guogong's mansion for a period of time."

"Even, maybe, she felt that Zhu Yi was too reckless, so she simply gave up her desire to subdue her. Zhu Yi's side is probably also discouraged and resentful. This is our opportunity..."

Zhang Min's face also became serious, and he frowned.

"Brother Shunqing means to win over Cheng Guogong's mansion again?"

Chen Mao nodded and said, "That's right, although Cheng Guogong's mansion has signs of decline, but after all, the background is there, and it still has a certain influence among the honored relatives. Besides, the reason why the Holy Mother values ​​Luo Tong so much is nothing more than It is because he is the most important civil servant in our hands."

"But if we can pull that kid Zhu Yi over, this problem will be solved. You know, even though that old guy Hu Yi is very cunning, as the second master said, when Zhu Yong was still there, he always paid respects to him." Civil servants, there are many people in the capital who have received favors from him."

"Although these people are hindered by public opinion, it's hard to speak for Duke Cheng's mansion, but they still have this kind of connections. If Luo Tong really can't save them, it's better to make plans early, right?"

Zhang Min was a little moved, but after pondering for a while, he still said.

"If this matter can be done, it will indeed greatly increase our strength. However, Zhu Yi is not in the capital now. What is his attitude towards this matter? We have to observe it again. In this way, we can wait for a few days. Back in the capital, the old man and brother Shunqing will personally go to Cheng Guogong's mansion to pay homage and inquire about it, what do you think of brother Shunqing?"

Seeing that Zhang Min was still hesitant, Chen Mao was slightly disappointed.

In fact, since he was punished for self-examination in the government, Chen Mao has been paying attention to the movements of his relatives.

So how Zhu Yi behaved when he left the palace that day, he hid in the dark and saw it with his own eyes.

He is a young talent who has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is good at riding and shooting. Even when he got on a carriage, he was able to step through the air and almost fell, which shows how much he has been hit.

Chen Mao thought he had a good eye for people, but Zhu Yi's expression of despair and despair at that time was definitely not something a person of his age could pretend to be.

Therefore, it is very possible that the emperor's punishment for Cheng Guogong's mansion is not just a simple burial of Zhu Yong with the state's official ceremony.

During that performance, there must have been something else that made Zhu Yi so disheartened.

In Chen Mao's view, this is the best time to win over Cheng Guogong's mansion.

But, after all, the person in charge on their side is Zhang Min, he can't make a decision, and Chen Mao has no choice but to nod his head and say.

"Since that's the case, you might as well wait a little longer. Thinking about it, when Zhu Yi comes back, there should be news from the third master. If we can welcome the emperor back smoothly, we will have an extra bargaining chip in convincing Zhu Yi."

When this matter was mentioned, a trace of worry flashed across Zhang Min's face.

Yes, in the final analysis, it still depends on the situation in Wala. It has been more than a month since the mission left Beijing.

But no news came back, and now that there is another thing about the mutual market, I don't know what kind of impact the news will have when it reaches Wala.

You know, no matter how many people are lost on their side, it is a trivial matter, and there will always be a chance to find them back in the future.

But if the Supreme Emperor can't welcome back, they will always be a tree without roots.

As a result, the flower hall fell into silence again. Chen Mao and Zhang Yu looked at each other, sighed in unison, and their eyes fell on the north at the same time, as if they were going through the distant night sky to see the current situation of Yibei...

At the same time, under the night sky of the old camp of Wala in the north.

Amidst the bright lights, Zhang Fu, Xu Bin, Xiao Weizhen and the others gathered around a Mongolian tent with frowning faces.

Obviously, the negotiations were not as smooth as they imagined.

Originally, in their expectation, after experiencing the Battle of Bauhinia Pass, they should have already developed a deep fear of Daming.

But when they arrived in Wala, they realized that the facts were quite different from what they had imagined.

It has been seven or eight days since the mission arrived in Wala, but apart from seeing them once when they first arrived, they were left here lukewarmly for the next few days.

What's more, apart from seeing the Supreme Emperor once from a distance, and confirming that the old man is safe, he didn't even have the chance to go up to say hello...
