Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 439
Sensing the silent atmosphere in the hall, Zhang Fu couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

In fact, the occurrence of such a situation was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Originally, he had planned to make the matter worse, and put all the blame on Xu Bin first. If it didn't work, he would retract the confession and say it was to protect the reputation of the Supreme Emperor.

There is no real evidence for this case.

Even if his and Xu Bin's testimonies are consistent, but the Supreme Emperor is involved, the testimony alone is not completely convincing.

At that time, the court's choice can only be low-key.

Because once it is publicized, all kinds of rumors will spread, and the talk about the Supreme Emperor is second to none. Zhang Fu believes that the emperor will not care.

However, the evidence is not sufficient. As long as there is a little push, the people will discuss whether the emperor is deliberately preventing the emperor from returning to the court, thereby creating an injustice.

In this way, even if the emperor still doesn't care, there will naturally be ministers in the court to stop it.

For example, Yu Qian Yu Shaobao, who has been trying his best to maintain the stability of the court.

Taking advantage of the fact that the imperial court did not want to make a big fuss, as well as the reason that he and others were following the order, and at the same time, a group of nobles waved their flags and shouted, under the pressure of many parties, this case may be reduced to a small one.

After all, with Zhang Fu's status and so many honorable families standing behind him, to sentence him to death, there must be a strong and achievable crime.

But this matter can be dealt with, because the evidence is not sufficient, and it cannot be regarded as a strong crime.

Therefore, if all goes well, Zhang Fu can escape completely.

However, man is not as good as God, no one thought that the emperor first had a tough attitude when the nobles gathered together, and punished more than a dozen nobles, so that they did not go to the palace today.

Moreover, they even sent someone to Oala to bring Yuan Bin back.

In this way, the evidence is conclusive, but it is difficult to handle!
Up to now, there is only one amulet left on Zhang Fu's body, that is, they followed the emperor's will.

But how effective this amulet is, Zhang Fu was very worried.

Sure enough, soon, the hall became quiet.

Then a censor came out, said.

"Your Majesty, the facts of the case are now clear. Xu Bin, Xiao Weizhen, and Zhang Fu, as imperial officials, leaked military aircraft. This is a serious crime."

"Although it was a last resort to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, but still cannot forgive, otherwise there will be no comfort to the soldiers and civilians who were killed and injured on the frontier. Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to punish these three people as a police officer."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiang couldn't sit still immediately, and he also came out and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the mission is guilty of deceiving the imperial court, and I dare not intercede for it, but the disclosure of military information was ordered by the Supreme Emperor."

"The Emperor Taishang is the emperor, and the mission is the minister. The emperor has an order. If you are a minister, disobedience is disobedience. If the mission obeys the order, even if it is inappropriate, it should be forgiven. It cannot be punished as the crime of leaking military information without authorization. "

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yu felt that there was a sharp gaze behind him, staring at him firmly.

He knew in his heart that this must be Jiao Jing.

But now, he has no other choice but to take one step at a time.

It should be said that Zhang Xiang is not forcing sophistry.

In the context of traditional Confucianism, the so-called "jun" includes not only the emperor, but also the empress dowager, empress dowager, and empress dowager.

The most obvious point is that in all official documents, the titles of the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor are "Your Majesty" just like the emperor.

So, strictly speaking, the Supreme Emperor's decree can be regarded as an imperial decree.

Followed by Zhang Yuan, there were also some officials from the Five Armies Commander's Mansion, all said one after another.

"That's right, Your Majesty, even if the mission is guilty, it is also a crime of deceiving the imperial court without authorization. Since the matter of the military situation is carried out by the Supreme Emperor, how can it be considered a crime?"

On the other side, Jiao Jing's face has turned livid.

He had already had a premonition that once Zhang Fu was really in danger, the British government would definitely sacrifice the reputation of the Supreme Emperor to protect Zhang Fu.

But he didn't expect that things would develop so quickly.

Seeing the attention of all the people in the court hall, who started to discuss the Supreme Emperor, Jiao Jing finally couldn't sit still.

With a wink, Xue Heng came out and said.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this case is of great importance. It not only involves the Supreme Emperor, but also concerns the stability of the country and the majesty of the Tian family. Once it is publicized, it will inevitably cause the people to criticize the royal family and cause turmoil. Therefore, it should be treated with caution."

In the past, when it came to this kind of criminal case, the honorable and military officials were basically high-spirited, but the civil servants were very noisy.

As a result, this time, except for the censor who opened his mouth at the beginning, all the people who popped out were relatives. It has to be said that it is a rare sight.

But this kind of court court affairs is always the home court of civil servants.

Just as Xue Heng finished speaking, a minister retorted from the civil servant's side.

"Could it be possible that you have to hide your words and give a light sentence because you are afraid of the impact? Now that you know this matter is publicized, it will damage the majesty of the court. Why did you not report back to the court before making a decision when you received the Supreme Emperor's order in Oala? Want to make a claim?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should not only be reduced to a minor one, but should be punished according to the law. Otherwise, in the future, someone will use the excuse of welcoming the Supreme Emperor back to corrupt the country's laws, and the court will be in trouble."

With this logical and clear tone, all the ministers followed the prestige.

Sure enough, it was Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu.

This old man, as the leader of Ke Dao Fengxian, is best at playing with logic, otherwise he will not be able to restrain those censors who are good at talking.

Playing sophistry in front of his old man is simply playing tricks.

Why don't you report back to the court first, and block the so-called forced to do it.

At this time, among the civil servants, another person stood up, also a heavyweight, Yu Qian.

Seeing the Shaobao come out, Jiao Jing and the others had a glimmer of hope on their faces.

Although they are not from the same route, they know that Yu Qian has always advocated welcoming the Supreme Emperor back.

Moreover, although what Chen Yi said made sense, reason is reason, and reality is reality.

The reality is that things have already turned out like this, and if it is spread out, it will indeed damage the majesty of the Tian family.

Therefore, they hoped that Yu Shaobao, who always put the overall situation first, could also persuade the emperor for them this time.

But obviously, this time they will be disappointed.

Yu Qian came out with a blank face, but his voice was firm, and said.

"Your Majesty, I have different opinions from your lords."

While speaking, Yu Qian turned around, scanned the ministers who were speaking for the mission, and finally fixed his eyes on the three people who were still kneeling on the ground, with a stern look, and said.

"What you said just now is nothing more than that the mission is following the order of the Supreme Emperor, or that the matter has come to this point, and it should be kept secret and dealt with lightly for the sake of the Supreme Emperor's reputation. Such remarks seem reasonable, but they are actually absurd. !"

The words startled the sky, and the courtiers immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, a little at a loss.

No one thought that with Yu Qian's consistent character and style, he would take such a stand on the handling of the mission.

However, seeing Yu Qian's stern expression, Zhu Qiyu on the throne felt a little emotional.

The scene in front of him reminded him of when the news of the civil engineering change had just reached the capital, Yu Qian reprimanded Xu Yu, oh, he should be called Xu Youzhen now, and the way he reprimanded Xu Youzhen for discussing moving south was exactly the same as now...

　Regarding the definition of "jun" in the context of Confucianism, here is a section of Yingzong's essay on Empress Dowager Zhang.

　　……

　　"The son of heaven must be respected. There is nothing greater in holiness than filial piety. Those who are filial to their relatives will win the favor of the world, and those who respect their relatives will be the king of the world. The emperor's grand ceremony is the same in ancient and modern times.

　　Gong Wei's holy grandmother, the Empress Dowager, is wise and enlightened, embodies the grandeur of Kunyuan, embodies the richness of Kunyuan, promotes the most benevolent light of heaven, and assists the ancestors of the emperor Dusheng. Right in the Quartet, Ren Ze is attached to Zhao's surname, and is the same as Jiang Yuan's Tairen Sheng, Gai regards Mingde, Xuan Ren has added, Gu Yuxuan bows, Su He loves, hereby inherits from the treasure position, and feels sincerely in the sacred heart , Pi Chengyu's peace in the universe, only admiring Yao and Shun in the palace, especially following the Maodian, using the righteous name.

　　I would like to enshrine the jade book and gold treasure, and respectfully honor the Holy Grandmother, the Empress Dowager, as the Empress Dowager.

　　Fu Wei, God blesses the merciful sage, forever inherits the grace of long faith, the country honors the supreme, and enjoys the blessing of ten thousand years. "

　　……

　　As an official document announcing the world, this section clearly refers to Queen Mother Zhang as "His Majesty the Holy Grandmother and Empress Dowager", ends with the words "Guofeng Supreme", and once again refers to Queen Mother Zhang as "Supreme".

　　Therefore, it can be clearly seen that in terms of etiquette, the emperor is in a slightly lower position, and the empress dowager and the empress dowager belong to the "sovereign" and, like the emperor, are the "lord" and "supreme" of the country.

　　In addition, the emperor used words to the empress dowager and the supreme emperor not "canonization" and "granting" from the top to the bottom, but "respectfully", "respectful title" and "respect" from the bottom to the top. It reflects the status of both parties in terms of etiquette.
