Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 442 The biggest winner is...

In the spacious Fengtian Hall, the calm voice of the emperor echoed and lingered for a long time.

The simple words not only stunned Jiao Jing, but even the other ministers were dazed for a while, and some wondered if they had heard it wrong.

They expected that the emperor would agree, and they also expected that the emperor would refuse, but they didn't expect that the emperor would say that they didn't want to ask.

Asking or not asking is the result, but reluctance to ask is emotional.

You know, since the emperor came to the throne, in the minds of the courtiers, he has always been a strategist, calm and rational image.

No matter how complicated and complicated the government affairs of the imperial court are, the emperor can deal with them rationally.

Such emotional, seemingly willful words, almost unimaginable, were spoken by the emperor.

All the ministers looked at the emperor, but the emperor looked at Yuan Bin.

After a while, the emperor sighed softly and said with emotion.

"In civil and engineering battles, the army was destroyed, hundreds of officials were in trouble, the sage drove north to hunt, the court situation was difficult, and the society was in turmoil. Under such a difficult situation, I was in Beijing, and I was still able to get all the ministers to assist the prime minister and overcome the difficulties together."

"However, in the bitter and cold place in the north, the Supreme Emperor was trapped alone in the captive camp, but Yuan Bin and Ha Ming were the only ones who could not change his original intention and serve the ministers of the holy chariot."

"At that time, a pack of wolves was on the lookout, and the captives were unpredictable. In order to protect the life of the Supreme Emperor, Yuan Bin came back from death several times, struggling at every step. Although I only reported it from the army, it was shocking."

"This is not a kindness to the Supreme Emperor, but a kindness to the Tian family."

It's getting quieter below.

Yuan Bin, who was watched by the emperor, was still pressed tightly and his mouth was tightly stuffed, but his tiger eyes were already flushed.

As for the rest of the ministers, because of these words, they remembered that when the news of the civil engineering change was just reported back to the capital, everyone was in a state of panic all day long.

I remembered how tragic it was when everyone was swearing to live and die with the capital when they pressed forward step by step.

With their emotions together, many people's expressions also seemed quite emotional.

Immediately, the emperor seemed to get rid of the emotional emotion, his face became calm again, he glanced at the officials, and said.

"The trial of the mission case is now clear, and the three members of the mission leaked military information without authorization, no matter whether they were ordered by the Supreme Emperor or not, they are all unforgivable crimes."

"Concubine Jiao asked me to ask Yuan Bin if he was false, but from the perspective of criminal trial, it is useless to ask, because no matter how Yuan Bin answers, it is difficult to prove the truth of his words. Concubine Jiao's request is not for the truth, but I just want peace of mind.”

Jiao Jing froze in place immediately, he never expected that the emperor's words became so straightforward, and at the same time, many ministers also fell into deep thought.

Indeed, under the current circumstances, Yuan Bin is already the limit that everyone can trace, and his testimony can prove whether the mission is guilty.

However, no one can corroborate the authenticity of his testimony.

For such a big matter as an edict, Yuan Bin himself said yes, and said no, didn't he?
Where is the evidence?Who can prove him?

There is only one answer, and that is the Supreme Emperor!

Whether this imperial decree is the meaning of the Supreme Emperor, only the old man knows best, but, the Supreme Emperor is in Yibei, who can ask him for proof?

Since there is no way to prove it, it is really just as the emperor said, just for peace of mind.

What Jiao Jing made this request was not the truth, but the truth in his heart, but he needed to speak out through Yuan Bin's mouth.

His eyes fell on Jiao Jing, and the emperor's voice became a little colder, and said.

"The captive camp is full of dangers and enemies are everywhere. Yuan Bin was able to deal with it and protect the Supreme Emperor. Now he is safely returned to our court, but he is suspected of arbitrarily correcting the edict. If convicted of such a crime, he must die."

"Therefore, I don't want to ask him. As the emperor's attendant, he should be taboo. If I open my mouth to ask, Yuan Bin will have to answer. If he says that this edict is true, it will be disrespectful to the emperor. Zhong, if you deny it, you will be killed."

"If I say something, it will put these loyal and upright ministers in a dilemma. It is an act of repaying virtue with grievances, which is not what the emperor should do. Therefore, I will not ask."

The last sentence, the emperor said firmly.

Then, the emperor directly made a conclusion on Yuan Bin's matter, saying.

"Whether this edict is true or not will be determined after the Supreme Emperor returns to the south. Yuan Bin is a minister of the Supreme Emperor's attendant. Even if there is any crime, it should be dealt with by the Supreme Emperor."

"Yuan Bin worked hard to protect the Supreme Emperor in Yibei. To the country, it was loyalty, which was the duty of a minister. But to the Zhu family, it was kindness."

"As the younger brother of the Supreme Emperor, I don't ask this person, and I will continue to commit this crime, but as the younger brother, on behalf of the emperor's brother and the Tian family, I thank Yuan Bin for protecting my elder brother in Yibeiyi."

Jiao Jing was taken aback by these words.

He never expected that the emperor would say such a thing in the end.

What is the logic?

Just because Yuan Bin had protected the Supreme Emperor in Yibei, so he was afraid that he would be guilty, so he didn't ask?Do you want to wait for the Supreme Emperor to come back for another trial?
Please, Your Majesty, it's a trial now, is it still reasonable?

Jiao Jing wanted to open his mouth to say something more, but suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the hall was not right.

Turning his head and taking a look, he saw quite a few ministers, especially civil servants, with complicated expressions.

Even, some elderly ministers couldn't stop wiping away their tears.

Before he could react, someone among the civil servants stood up and bowed down in the tunnel.

"Your Majesty is virtuous, benevolent and loving, which is indeed the blessing of heaven and the fortune of all people."

"The ancestors are above all, your majesty's filial piety is moving, and the ministers respect you."

"Your Majesty is wise, and his virtue is so obvious, it is indeed the blessing of his ancestors."

More and more ministers appeared, with red eyes praising the Son of Heaven for his benevolence, filial piety and fraternity, he is a wise king. Within a moment, there was a large crowd of people kneeling in the hall.

Jiao Jing suddenly felt cold hands and feet, he finally realized what the emperor was doing.

From Jiao Jing's point of view, he doesn't care what the truth is, but only cares about whether the reputation of the Supreme Emperor can be preserved.

However, from the point of view of civil servants, why would they care about the truth.

It doesn't matter to the courtiers whether you ask Yuan Bin or not, what you can find out.

As the Son of Heaven said, the trial of the case so far, no matter whether the decree is true or not, the crime of the mission has long been inescapable.

Even if it can change the situation, how can it compare with the righteousness of filial piety and respect for relatives shown by the emperor at this moment?

A benevolent, filial son of heaven, in the eyes of the courtiers, is more important than anything else.

Therefore, even if Yuan Bin is in court, even if he can't spend any effort on the first trial, after what the emperor said, Yuan Bin will not be able to try again!
This reason is so upright that no one can refute it, unless someone wants to be an enemy of the entire Confucianism.

At this moment, Jiao Jing finally realized that this case was hopeless.

If Yuan Bin is not interrogated, then all the evidence and confessions point to the fact that the Supreme Emperor disregarded the people on the frontier, in order to protect himself, he ordered the mission to leak military information, gain trust first, and kill Xining.

Even if this is not the conclusion in the end, once the evidence and trial details are made public, who can not see it?
So, amidst the excited expressions of the officials, Zhu Qiyu continued to speak.

"Come here, untie Yuan Bin."

"Yuan Bin, Lieutenant of Jinyiwei, in the north, in the barracks, served by the side of the Supreme Emperor, and worked hard to protect the Supreme Emperor. He was loyal and courageous. He was awarded the hereditary commander and was awarded General Guangwei. , and another mansion."

"Designed as an envoy, after the peace talks, he will return to Wala to serve the Supreme Emperor."

The ministers were a little surprised. Although they had already thought that the emperor would not just pay lip service when he said that he wanted to reward Yuan Bin, they did not expect such a generous offer.

The titles of Daming are only Duke, Marquis, and Bo, and they are not awarded to those who do not have military merits. However, under the title, there are nine ranks of world officials, which can also be passed on to their descendants.

The hereditary commander is a fourth-rank official, second only to the commander and commander. If he passes the selection of the Ministry of War, he may even have the opportunity to directly become a fourth-rank real-time military attache, which is really not light.

What's more, the emperor also awarded General Guangwei, who is a loose rank, but this kind of loose rank usually matches the actual position.

Yuan Bin turned out to be just a school lieutenant who didn't even have a rank, so to be rewarded like this is truly a great kindness.

Moreover, this is only temporary. Once the Supreme Emperor returns to the court, Yuan Bin's official rank may be raised again.

Amid all kinds of envious or questioning gazes, Yuan Bin was untied and removed the cloth strip stuffed in his mouth.

On the imperial steps, the emperor looked at him with a gentle expression, and said.

"After returning to Wala, serve the Supreme Emperor well. I am in the capital, and I hope that you can take good care of the Supreme Emperor and return to the court together as soon as possible."

Although he was unable to speak all the time, Yuan Bin caught all the emotions that Zou Dui and the emperor had just expressed.

Yuan Bin, who had gone through all this, was full of emotions and extremely complicated.

Countless words rolled down his throat, but in the end they were just words.

"My minister, Yuan Bin, thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrustment."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, waved his hand to signal him to step aside, then his eyes fell on the three members of the mission, and he became terrified, said.

"The case of the mission has been concluded. Xu Bin, Xiao Weizhen, and Zhang Fu, as envoys of the imperial court, leaked military information without authorization. The crime cannot be pardoned. Although Xu Bin can truthfully confess, but as an envoy of the mission, he has lost the dignity of the country. Faint and ignorant, although Xiao Weizhen and Zhang Fu are deputy envoys, they deceive the emperor with lies, obsession with obsession, and stubborn resistance, all three are sentenced to beheaded, and they will be executed at a later date!"

"In addition, the generals on the frontier and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court are ordered. From now on, before the Supreme Emperor returns to the capital, he should obey the imperial relics and holy orders without distinguishing their authenticity. Beware of fraud."

After all, without waiting for the ministers to respond, Zhu Qiyu waved.

"That's it for today, retreat!"
