Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 454 Conflict
This is a warning, but also a threat!
Zhang Min was trembling with anger, but could not speak.

This matter is indeed their fault.

If things are done in the end, Zhang Fu can get away successfully, and Xiao Weizhen and Xu Bin can be brought back by the way.

Well, the sacrifice is worth it.

In other words, as long as Zhang Fu continues to sit in the British government, no matter what the palace thinks, the views on the table will be the same.

But now, if the person is not kept, chickens fly and eggs are beaten, and he has become the weak side, so he will naturally be questioned by Xingshi.

Staring at Jiao Jing coldly, Zhang Min gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say to the Holy Mother?"

Jiao Jing smiled and asked back.

"Is it important? In the final analysis, you and I are all courtiers in front of the Holy Mother and the Supreme Emperor, and the duty of being a courtier is insurmountable. The second master should be clear about this."

This is to turn over old accounts.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Min regretted that he had acted too confidently before.

You know, Zhang Fu had told him to maintain his relationship with the Empress Dowager Sun in the palace before he went on an envoy.

When necessary, he would rather give up the rescue of Chen Mao than easily offend Queen Mother Sun.

However, in the view of Zhang Xiang at that time, although the Queen Mother Sun in the palace was noble, she had little influence in the outer dynasty.

Even if she was slightly offended, she had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened and continue to rely on the British government.

At that time, when Zhang Fu successfully welcomes the Supreme Emperor back, the position of the British government will only be more stable, and this small festival will naturally blow away with the wind.

But he never thought that there were many changes, and the current situation was gradually formed. If he had known today, he should not have exchanged Hui Changbo for Chen Mao.

Violating the queen mother in the palace seemed to be harmless at the time, but now, it has become the target of Master Jiao Jingxing's accusation and pressing every step of the way.

Clenching his fists tightly, Zhang Min's face was uncertain. Of course he knew that today, the British government is no longer able to negotiate conditions with the palace as it used to.

However, he was still unwilling to give up the dominance.

Seeing Jiao Jing's confident look, Zhang Min turned his heart and said.

"Of course the old man knows what the concubine said, but don't forget the concubine, the person who is in charge of the Ming Dynasty is neither the Holy Mother nor the Supreme Emperor!"

These words were a little impulsive, Zhang Min regretted almost as soon as he said them.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Jiao Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression changed, but it was neither fearful nor backing down, but a bit ironic.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to hear something funny and laughed out loud.

Zhu Yi at the side was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying.

"Uncle, if you have something to say, please speak up, we are all from our own family, don't be impulsive."

Zhang Min took a deep breath and wanted to explain.

But at this time, Jiao Jing has gradually restrained his smile, calmly, and said seriously.

"Second Lord, when you and I went to Duke Cheng's mansion to persuade the young Lord to get married, Second Lord said something, which is still fresh in my memory. How come Second Lord himself has forgotten it?"

Zhang Min instantly remembered the scene that day, and at the same time, Jiao Jing's voice rang in his ears.

"Second Lord, it's not the time to proclaim benevolence. Times have changed. This is true for Cheng Guo's government, but why not for the British government?"

Now that the paper on the window is all torn, Jiao Jing no longer has any scruples, and said directly.

"Speaking of this, the old man also wants to ask, in terms of wisdom and planning, he is no less than the kings of Dingxing. If there is a choice, why did the third master go around so hard after the Battle of Bauhinia Pass?"

Zhang Min fell silent.

why?
Of course because there is no choice.

From Yongle to Orthodox, there are only two top families in the Xunchen lineage that can hold power, the Chengguo Mansion and the British Mansion.

The two parties take turns to control the military power and maintain a stable balance.

However, a civil engineering battle broke this balance.

The current emperor obviously does not intend to reuse the British government, nor does he intend to reuse the Chengguo government.

He fostered a new Duke to win over and unite the old ministers.

At the same time, Yang Hong, Fan Guang and other frontier generals were reused to gradually change the blood of the five army governors' mansions and control the power of the military mansions and the Beijing camp.

This is equivalent to splitting the situation where one party was dominant.

The Duke of Fengguo united and attracted many honorable persons, but they were still unable to control the real power, which can be said to be powerless.

The emerging frontier general Xunchen controls the Beijing camp. From the frontier army, he promotes his trusted generals and replaces the children of Xunchen who have complicated relationships. It can be said that he has no power.

The two of them check and balance each other, forming a new situation that is completely different from the Renxuan era.

Of course, due to the existence of the British government, this new check and balance relationship is not yet stable, but the emperor's mind can already be seen from a glimpse.

At this time, even if the previous grievances and grievances are abandoned, what can the British government do?

Take power?impossible.

Continue to be the leader of Xunchen?Where is the Fengguo public that the emperor worked so hard to support?

It was Zhang Fu who continued to support the Supreme Emperor and Donggong's decision.

Although he is still a bit reluctant to admit it, Zhang Xiang must say that his third younger brother indeed has a much clearer understanding of the overall situation than him.

Today, it is absolutely impossible to reuse the British government.

What's more, the British government, which controls the government of the five armies, was born to give way to the side general Xunchen who was supported by the emperor.

What's more terrible is that once this new check and balance situation is formed, the subsequent emperors may not necessarily reuse the British government.

This is the so-called change of time.

If it was the era of Renxuan, the British government could retreat to the second line, even if the Fengguo government was the only one, so what?

When the new emperor comes to power, in order to check and balance them, the British government will also be reactivated.

However, times have changed...

Seeing Zhang Min sinking into deep thought, a smile floated on Jiao Jing's face, he leaned gently on the back of the chair, his tone suddenly eased, and said.

"Actually speaking, the second master is from a family of honorable ministers. Why do you have to work so hard? With the hereditary iron coupons in hand, how can you live a good life?"

"But, I don't know if the second master still remembers that there are four mansions in total in this capital city including the one who was bestowed today!"

With a regretful smile on Jiao Jing's face, he continued.

"The old man heard something a while ago. The young man in Dingguo's mansion, who just became a nobleman, has been receiving a half salary since he became a nobleman, and half of the half salary is discounted." Pepper sumac."

"The mansion sent people to the Ministry of Households to question, and the Ministry of Households replied that the young man was not old enough, and that he was able to become a noble because of the kindness of the court. When he became an adult, he would make up his salary. As for the pepper sumac, although two months ago, Most of the yamen stopped paying attention, but the Ministry of Household Affairs insisted that the treasury is not rich, please ask the Lord Haihan."

"Of course, the second master definitely doesn't know about this matter. After all, although the British public is not yet of age, the household department has always paid the full salary. Moreover, after the color folding is stopped, even the pepper sumac, British public The government has to buy it by itself, right?"
