Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 398

As a relative who was highly valued during the orthodox years, Jiao Jing stayed in the court far longer than Ren Li who was fighting everywhere, and his ability to read words and demeanor was stronger.

This change in Ren Li's expression fell into Jiao Jing's eyes, and he barely had to make too much effort to understand what Ren Li was thinking.

Shaking his head, Jiao Jing changed the topic and said.

"However, to be honest, it was the old man's impromptu intention to conceal this matter from Zhang Wei and others. Until today, before he came to the British government, the old man had always planned to tell Zhang Wei and Uncle Ning Yang about this matter frankly."

Ren Li frowned, his face changed slightly.

But immediately, he stretched his brows and said, "That's thanks to Prince Jiao for making this impromptu idea."

Obviously, Ren Li didn't believe Jiao Jing's words, and felt that Jiao Jing was deliberately scaring him.

The implication of these words is not difficult to hear, Jiao Jing naturally understood.

Sighing, Jiao Jing said.

"You don't need to be like this. Everything I said here today is the truth. The matter of Uncle Huichang really made the Holy Mother feel that the British government is proud of the merits. When you entered the palace the day before yesterday, the Holy Mother did not let the old man want to confiscate you. Things leaked."

"However, the old man still said that the Supreme Emperor is still in the north and has not yet returned. The British government is still the biggest help to welcome the Supreme Emperor. At this moment, the Holy Mother crosses the British government and directly wins over other courtiers. .”

"The Holy Mother is only in the palace, and it is difficult to grasp the external situation. It is not unreasonable. After the old man persuaded her, the old man knew that there should be no rift with the British government at this time, so he ordered the old man to handle the matter according to the circumstances. It is best to be open and honest, and unite with sincerity."

Only then did Ren Li's expression turn serious.

In the final analysis, the reason why he is able to gain a foothold in the five-armed governor's mansion at this stage is because of the support of the British government.

Although this kind of support has a strong sense of control, it is true that without the British government, he will definitely not be able to restrain the gang of arrogant soldiers.

That day in the British government, Zhang Min and Chen Mao's attitude towards the matter of making friends with the palace in private was very obvious.

Once they knew that it was Ren Li who was actually doing this, it was conceivable that his life in the Five Armies Commander's Mansion would not be easy in the future.

Of course, for the sake of the Holy Mother in the palace, on the surface, the two parties must still be friendly, but it is not certain what methods will be used secretly.

What Jiao Jing said is clear enough, the British government is the biggest help to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, at least it cannot be lost at this stage.

With Luo Tong's incident, the British government already suspected that someone had left them and made friends with the Queen Mother in private.

In this case, instead of letting the British government find out by itself, it is better to push everything to him, Ning Yuanhou, which can be regarded as an explanation.

Letting out a long breath, Ren Li finally put away the fearlessness in his heart, stared at Jiao Jing closely, and asked.

"Then, what is it that made Prince Jiao change his mind temporarily?"

Jiao Jing didn't speak, but just looked at Ren Li calmly.

Then, Ren Li suddenly understood: "Could it be because the mission was arrested?"

Just now Jiao Jing said that after he arrived at the British government, he temporarily changed his mind. At that time, they only discussed one thing in the British government.

So it is not difficult to speculate, but even if the mission was arrested, what does it have to do with this matter?

Ren Li's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, his mind was spinning rapidly, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he blurted out.

"Could it be that the third master is doomed this time?"

The reason why Jiao Jing wanted to tell about Ren Li's private friendship with the palace was to eliminate the barrier between the British government and the palace.

As he said, at least at this stage, the British government is the biggest help in welcoming the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, making him change his mind can only show that the British government is no longer the biggest help.

In other words, the role of the British government is no longer large enough for Jiao Jing to use Ren Li to bridge the gap.

When this happens, either Ren Li's weight has become heavier, or the British government's weight has become lighter.

The former is definitely impossible, so it can only be the latter!

Connecting with the news they heard in the British government, Ren Li instantly connected everything together as if he had pierced the window paper.

What is the greatest use value of the British government?
Of course, when Zhang Fu was still alive, he single-handedly promoted many middle-ranking generals throughout the five armies' governor's mansions.

However, this does not mean that these generals will always obey the British government.

Most of them recognized Zhang Fu, not the huge duke's mansion.

After Zhang Fu's death, the influence of the British government in the five-army governor's mansion was greatly reduced. Compared with the heyday, there were only one or two tenths left.

Even so, it is still the biggest boost that Jiao Jing said.

But this is all tied to one person, that is Zhang Fu!
It should be said that Zhang Fu was a far-sighted person. He knew that after his death, Xijue's youngest son would not be able to bear the burden of the British government.

So after planning to pass the title to his youngest son Zhang Mao, Zhang Fu began to train Zhang Fu, his younger brother.

First, he was sent to fight on the battlefield to accumulate military exploits and establish prestige in the army, and then he was transferred to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion as his deputy, subtly strengthening his position among his old subordinates.

After several years in a row, Zhang Fu was able to successfully stabilize the overall situation after Zhang Fu's death.

So it can be said that although Zhang Fu is dead, as long as Zhang Fu is still alive, the foundation of the British government will still be there.

But once Zhang Fu also died, then the British government really lost even the last deterrent.

Even if the generals of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion nostalgia for the past, they will just nostalgia for the past in the future.

If the British government is in trouble, they may help, but it is absolutely impossible to order them like before.

Without the backing of these generals, the British government would end up similar to the current Chengguo government.

At any rate, he is the young master of Cheng Guogong's mansion, and there is a still standing Minister of Rites as his father-in-law.

But without Zhang Fu, what is left of the British government?
A new British prince who is only eight years old?
A Zhang Min who acts recklessly, has no merit in his hands, and has never dealt with the Five Armies Commander's Mansion at all?
After thinking about it a step further, Ren Li immediately understood what Jiao Jing's intention for coming was.

When Zhang Fu was there, the British government was the biggest help in welcoming the Supreme Emperor back. If Zhang Fu was no longer there, it would be equivalent to this help disappearing out of thin air.

As the confidant of the Holy Mother in the palace, Jiao Jing naturally had to consider how to remedy it.

At this time, he was originally pushed out by the British government, and himself as a marionette may be the key to breaking the situation.

After all, Ren Li was also a decent military lord, and his title was earned through military exploits, which was his greatest reliance.

His biggest shortcoming is that he doesn't have a deep background and family. Most importantly, he rose too late. By the time he emerges, the forces among his relatives have already been clearly divided.

Therefore, even if he becomes the governor of the five armies' governor's mansion, he is only a temporary spokesperson introduced by the British government, waiting to make room for others at any time.

But if the British government completely loses control of the five-armed governor's mansion.

Then his temporary spokesperson will be the person most likely to inherit the remaining political power of the British government.

As for Zhang Min, it really wasn't that Ren Li looked down on this so-called second master.

Not to mention that he has never been in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, just because he has not been on the battlefield, it is impossible to convince those generals and noble children.

After thinking about these things, Ren Li's eyes flashed with heat.

Sure enough, the world is impermanent, he secretly thought of so many ways, he was trying to win over Luo Tong, he was getting close to the Queen Mother, and he was carefully cultivating his own manpower.

In the end, the opportunity actually fell on him.

No, it's too early to be happy.

The premise of all this is that something really happened to Zhang Fu.

But what Ren Li knew better was that the news of the arrest of the mission was sent by Tao Jin to Pegasus Express.

Jiao Jing has just lifted the ground restriction, there is no reason to get the news earlier than them.

What exactly is going on?

All of a sudden, many thoughts came to Ren Li's mind, and he froze on the spot...
