Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 448 Bad news one after another

However, even though Jiao Jing is the Empress Dowager Sun's confidant, it is better not to say some things that should not be said.

Therefore, Jiao Jing thought about it, and decided to swallow what he just said, and then said.

"Even so, the Holy Mother doesn't have to worry. Although I don't have much contact with Zhu Jian, I can see that he is a person who takes care of the overall situation."

"At that time in the Hall of Martial Heroes, since the Son of Heaven asked him, he gave Zhu Jian the opportunity to refuse. If he was not willing, he would naturally find someone in Datong who had heavy military affairs and should not be transferred rashly, or that he could not complete the peace talks by himself. This matter is declined."

"After all, there were so many ministers watching at that time, and Zhu Jian didn't make any mistakes. If he didn't want to be transferred to such an abnormal transfer, the emperor would not force him to transfer him back to Beijing."

"However, since Zhu Jian accepted it, it shows that he still puts the Supreme Emperor first in his heart, and there is no need to worry that he will not do his best in this matter."

Although he was not there, Jiao Jing could easily deduce the situation at that time.

You know, in essence, this is an official transfer of the imperial court, which falls within the scope of political affairs.

But Queen Mother Sun is a member of the harem after all, and her words are somewhat effective in royal affairs, but in real government affairs, she actually has no right to intervene.

Perhaps some middle and low-level officials will be confused.

However, officials at Zhu Jian's level would not agree to such a request out of fear of offending a harem queen mother.

What's more, in front of so many ministers at that time, the emperor's question did not have the slightest intention of persecution.

It can be said that as long as Zhu Jian finds a reason casually, rejects this matter, and goes back to continue to be his governor of Shanxi, it is not difficult.

However, he finally followed, which shows that he still feels that welcoming the Supreme Emperor as soon as possible is more important than his own official position.

Hearing these words, Empress Dowager Sun felt a little relieved.

However, she still frowned, with some regret: "That's the case, but..."

Seeing Queen Mother Sun's expression like this, Jiao Jing smiled and said.

"I know what the Holy Mother is thinking. If the Supreme Emperor can return successfully, he will also need help in the court. Zhu Jian is just the right person. However, even if he can still put the overall situation first, he will inevitably feel resentment. "

Empress Dowager Sun nodded, sighed, and said: "It's true that Ai's family has neglected to consider this matter. You are outside court, can you think of a way to make up for it?"

Jiao Jing thought for a while, and said: "Don't dare to lie to the Holy Mother, Zhu Jian has not been in Beijing often these years, and I don't have a deep relationship with him, but it is not impossible."

"In the early years when the late emperor was here, Duke Xiancheng recommended many people to the late emperor, including civil servants and generals. I don't know if there are any of these people who have a close friendship with Zhu Jian. Maybe you can give it a try. "

"However, I'm just guessing. I still have to ask the young master after I leave the palace."

Rubbing her forehead, Empress Dowager Sun said: "That's the only way to go. Right now, it's more important to welcome back the Supreme Emperor. By the way, you said before that Xu Bin and others were sentenced to beheaded?"

Mentioning this matter, Jiao Jing couldn't help but sigh.

If this bad thing comes out, it will be one after another.

He didn't go into detail about Tingju's situation with Empress Dowager Sun due to time constraints. Now when she asked about it, Jiao Jing carefully explained everything that happened in Tingju.

"That's it. Yuan Bin was taken to the Fengtian Hall as soon as he arrived in the capital. Without knowing anything, he took out the golden knife. Then, Lu Zhong sent the golden knife and Yuan Bin to Xu Bin and others. Cheating, Zhang Fu can't take it anymore."

"When Zhang Fu retracted his confession, Xiao Weizhen also collapsed, and the three of them admitted the matter. They thought that there was the emperor's will to protect them, but in the end, they were defeated by Yu Qian and Wang Wen. Not only did Xu Bin and others not be saved, but even the reputation of the Supreme Emperor may be damaged."

"At that time, I thought about pushing the matter to Yuan Bin, but the emperor saw the opportunity too quickly, and didn't give me a chance at all. Instead, I used it to sell a good reputation."

After all, a trace of anxiety floated on Jiao Jing's face, and said.

"Holy Mother, the development of this matter has really exceeded my expectations. Xu Bin and Xiao Weizhen are the only few officials above the third rank in our court, and Zhang Fu is the backbone of the British government."

"They have been sentenced to beheading this time. Whether it is civil servants or relatives, our losses are quite serious. The minister is worried that if the emperor wants to do something to the emperor after the emperor returns, we will be in court. , I'm afraid it will be difficult to speak out to stop it."

Empress Dowager Sun frowned tightly, and her face was quite ugly.

The biggest reason why she has been trying her best to develop her power is that she doesn't want to pin the fate of herself and her son on the benevolent heart of the one on the throne.

But now, bad news came one after another, which made Empress Dowager Sun feel a headache.

After a while, she rubbed her temples and said.

"Wenchen, didn't you say that Zhu Yi has some connections? Let him find a way to get in touch. In addition, if the court is gone, find local officials, like Zhu Jian, and try to transfer them back."

Jiao Jing opened his mouth, wanted to speak but didn't say it.

There are indeed some local officials like Zhu Jian who support the Supreme Emperor.

But the problem is that the current Ministry of Officials is controlled by that old fellow Wang Wen.

Wang Wen can also detect the officials who support the Supreme Emperor that they can find, not to mention suppressing these people to death, but it is not a big deal to let them circulate in different places and not give them the opportunity to become officials in Beijing Difficult.

You know, unless you reach the level of governor or governor, and your political achievements are so outstanding that you must be promoted, there is no other way but to be promoted to Qiqing.

For other officials, even if you have reached the third rank or second rank, the official department still has a way to arrange for you.

It has to be said that although the Son of Heaven is young, his methods are steady and ruthless. As soon as he ascended the throne, he used Wang Wen to firmly control the officials.

With him, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, at least on the side of civil servants, whether it is the Queen Mother Sun or the Supreme Emperor who is about to return to the court in the future, it is even more difficult to train people who want to cultivate themselves.

However, although Jiao Jing didn't say it out loud, Empress Dowager Sun was not stupid, she obviously saw his concerns, and continued.

"It doesn't matter if it's Zhu Jian, Aijia knows that every time there is an examination, the nobles of each family will more or less make friends with some new scholars. Over the years, no one in each family has any connections, but most of them are scattered all over the place. That's all."

"These people who are close to you, choose reliable ones, and spend some time supporting them. These relationships are very complicated, and the official department will not always be able to figure them out."

"Also, someone like Luo Tong, who was once protected by Xungui, and who has been pinched in his hand, can also be supported and supported."

With that said, Empress Dowager Sun sighed and said.

"Actually, these people are reliable, because they have a clue, and most of the things that can be a clue are not publicized, and the relationship is also hidden and difficult to be investigated. Naturally, they will not be caught by the officials."

"In short, this is not something that can be rushed. After you go out, pay more attention and pay attention to it."

Jiao Jing thought for a while, and immediately nodded, and said.

"What the Holy Mother said is true. However, in this case, I am afraid that we will have to rely on the British government."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Sun was puzzled, Jiao Jing further explained.

"The people mentioned by the Holy Mother can be found if you look for them. However, we have too few people in the central yamen, so it is not easy to support them."

"So, they can only rely on their own excellent achievements. It is also difficult in this regard, but there are still ways to do it. There are many generals in the British government who are on duty in the guards in various places."

"Let them cooperate. Local officials will be able to manage affairs much more conveniently. This is the limit of what we can do."

In the final analysis, it is because there is no one in the central yamen.

But having said that, Empress Dowager Sun's expression turned slightly cold, and said.

"Speaking of the British government, the Ai family has a question. After you leave the palace, ask Zhang Min for the Ai family..."
