Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 400 Come Tomorrow
It is certainly impossible for Xue Heng to obtain an ordinary military newspaper so easily, but this military newspaper has already been announced in the court, so it is not difficult to get a copy.

Ren Li frowned, and his eyes fell on the beginning of Jiao Jing's words.

"...Our army's scout, Chade, also wanted to enter the Shawo from Shunshengchuan, and plunder the soldiers and civilians. After the ministers received the report, they sent it to the court secretly, and got the military order from the Ministry of War.

At the same time, Jiao Jing continued to speak.

"Does Marquis Ren understand? Guo Deng made it clear in the military newspaper that he had obtained a military order from the Ministry of War to mobilize the army. What does this mean? It shows that the court, or the Son of Heaven and the Ministry of War, had long been prepared for Yexian's invasion. "

"The distance between Datong and the capital is at most one or two days different from the distance between the Xuanfu and the capital, so it can be inferred from the time that the military order ordering Guo Deng to send troops is basically the same time as when Lu Zhong led Jin Yiwei to the Xuanfu. "

Having said these words, the directivity is already obvious.

The emperor first got the news that he was going to join the bandits first, and then ordered Guo Deng to ambush secretly, and at the same time sent Jin Yiwei to Xuanfu to arrest people.

There must be some connection between the two.

After all, Ren Li is a member of the army. Connecting all these signs together, a guess suddenly floated in his heart, and he hesitated.

"Could it be that the mission leaked the military situation on the border? Well, why is that? The character of the third master is not enough to fail to see the risks involved?"

It's a bold guess, but it's the only reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, what else could cause Jin Yiwei to detain the entire mission so blatantly?
However, this is too unbelievable.

You know, once this kind of thing is confirmed, it is a leak of military aircraft at a light level, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is collaborating with the enemy.

It was hard for Ren Li to believe that Zhang Fu, who had always been rational, would do this.

Jiao Jing shook his head, and said: "If you want to really determine the reason, you need to meet with the embassy in person after arriving in Beijing to find out."

"I don't know if Marquis Ren has noticed that the day when the mission was arrested in the Xuan Mansion was the same day when Ye first entered Koshawo."

"It was written in Tao Jin's letter that the third master wanted them to set up an ambush in Yehuling and kill Xining."

"Xining is Yexian's confidant, almost inseparable from Yexian, so if you don't lure Yexian away first, it will be difficult for Xining to be alone. I think it may be because of this reason."

"As for why the third master made this decision..."

At this point, Jiao Jing rarely hesitated, and did not continue.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "This old man doesn't know too well, let's wait until the mission arrives in Beijing to ask."

Seeing Jiao Jing's unnatural expression, Ren Li knew that he was not telling the truth.

But he didn't ask too much. Speaking of this, Ren Li actually had some guesses in his mind.

However, there are some things that I understand in my heart, but it may not be easy to say them.

Therefore, there was a moment of silence in the flower hall, and the two sides tacitly revealed this topic, Ren Li asked.

"Then now that the situation is almost clear, what will Prince Jiao do?"

Bringing up the business, Jiao Jing's expression finally became normal, he looked directly into Ren Li's eyes, and said.

"Please, Marquis Ren, go to the book immediately, unite all the nobles, impeach Jin Yiwei for arresting the mission without authorization, and try our best to rescue Zhang Fu and others!"

???

Lord Ren's eyes widened. Because of thirst, the tea that had just been brought to his lips trembled so much that it almost spilled on his clothes.

However, he was not in the mood to care about this, he put the teacup down again, frowned and asked, "What's the meaning of this, Concubine Jiao?"

Didn't it be agreed that Zhang Fu would not be rescued, and everyone happily plotted against the power of the British government? Why did it change in a blink of an eye?

Jiao Jing obviously expected this, and said.

"This time, the mission is likely to be doomed, but we still have to do our best to save each other, not only to save, but also to Ren Hou to run personally."

Immediately, Jiao Jing further explained: "Nowadays, there are many generals in the five-army governor's mansion who are grateful for the old British Duke's kindness. If you want to subdue them, you still need to rely on the power of the British Duke. Can Ren Hou understand this?"

Ren Li frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

His current advantage is that he has military merits on his back, and his position is fairly stable. At the same time, he is also the person in charge of the Chinese army's governor's mansion, with military merits and a reputation.

But the disadvantage is that he does not have a deep relationship with the British government, and he lacks the most basic sense of trust with those generals who have been favored by the British government.

Therefore, at this time, a middleman is needed to make a bridge. At least, before the transition is completed, the help of the British government is indispensable.

only……

"Jiao Consort, since you and I are both so open and honest, then the Marquis will tell the truth. It would be best if the British government is willing to help, but Zhang Min's character, how can he be willing to hand over these forces?"

"What's more, even Zhang Fu may not be able to gain the trust of those people. After all, after the death of the British Duke, they have always recognized Zhang Fu."

After hearing Ren Li's concerns, Jiao Jing pondered for a moment and said.

"What Renhou said is reasonable, so the old man has repeatedly emphasized that this time, Renhou needs to really do his best and do everything possible to rescue the mission."

Seeing that Ren Li still didn't understand, Jiao Jing could only continue to explain.

"Actually, after the old British prince left, the British government's control over the five-army governor's mansion has weakened a lot. Those generals who can still obey orders are all people who care about their old love. Therefore, Ren Hou is trying his best to save Zhang Fu at this moment. Whether they are successful or not, they will bear some kind of friendship in their hearts."

"What's more, although Zhang Fu is impulsive, Zhang Fu is a person who can understand the overall situation. This is why the old man concealed the matter of Ren Hou's private friendship with the palace."

"As long as Renhou shows enough consideration for the British government, then Zhang Fu will naturally make proper arrangements after knowing that he is powerless."

Ren Li took a deep look at Jiao Jing, with a complicated expression on his face.

Jiao Jing's meaning is very clear, let him play a role that is extremely loyal to the British government.

If the acting is successful enough, then he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

Zhang Fu was not stupid, he knew that if something happened to him, there would be no one in the British government who could replace him.

At this time, Ren Li, a "loyal" person who worked around for the British government, might be considered by him as a candidate to protect the British government for the next period of time.

This principle is not difficult to understand, it is nothing more than defrauding trust.

But the problem lies in this lie.

It was only at this time that Ren Li realized that he had just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.

Jiao Jing revealed a meaning intentionally or unintentionally just now.

That is, I have the handle in his hands.

If Ren Li wants to take over the political power of the British government, he needs the full trust and support of the British government.

However, his private acquaintance with the palace before was enough to break this trust.

In other words, once he did what Jiao Jing said, he would be eaten to death by Jiao Jing and others, and he could only follow the orders of the palace.

Although Ren Li had no other thoughts before, Ren Li still felt a little sad when he truly realized the situation he was facing.

Jiao Jing glanced at him, wondering if he could see his thoughts, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why, is there any hesitation for Marquis Ren?"

Hearing the vague coldness in Jiao Jing's tone, Ren Li quickly shook his head and said.

"Of course not. Prince Jiao is very thoughtful, so I should try my best. However, it is not a problem for me to impeach me, or to run around, but I am not afraid of making jokes when I speak out. I have been fighting and fighting outside these years. The mansions in the capital don’t come and go much, I’m afraid they are weak..."

A smile appeared on Jiao Jing's face, and said.

"You don't have to worry about this Marquis, the old man will come back tomorrow and call Uncle Ning Yang, and then I will talk to Marquis Ren in detail."

With that said, Jiao Jing got up and planned to say goodbye.

Ren Li also got up to see them off, and asked casually as he walked, "Did Concubine Jiao inform Uncle Ning Yang about this matter?"

Therefore, Jiao Jing stopped and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Ren, I won't say a single word about things that shouldn't be said. As for why you want to invite Uncle Ning Yang, Marquis Ren will know tomorrow."

Only then did Ren Li feel relieved, and said with a smile, "Then the Marquis will wait for you in the mansion."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they were finally sent to the gate. Seeing the figures of Jiao Jing and the others leaving, Ren Li had a complicated look on his face.

In the end, he sighed a long time, turned around and walked into the mansion...
