Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 469 Too Simple
The dark clouds in the sky gradually gathered, and the thin rain fell with it.

An autumn rain and a cold.

Outside the Hall of Martial Heroes, several elders refused Cheng Jing's invitation to go to the side hall to rest, and stood on the porch feeling the cool autumn wind.

Occasionally, a few drops of raindrops fall to the feet with the wind, but it makes people feel more autumnal.

Hu Wei, Yang Hong, and Li Xian, several elderly elders, stood in front of them after greeting each other, with their sleeves wrapped around their eyes and their eyes closed.

Later, Fan Guang and Yu Shan, two relatively young ministers, got together to chat and inquire about each other's news.

Now, Yang Hong is in charge of the Beijing Camp, Fan Guang, Zhao Rong, and Ren Li are in charge of the Right Army, Left Army, Central Army Governor's Mansion, and the Ministry of War. After Yu Qian left, he was handed over to Yu Shan, the servant.

Therefore, if it is related to military affairs, it is enough to ask a few of them to come over, but what makes people wonder is why the Ministry of Rites is involved.

The two chatted one after another, but it turned out that the other party's eyes were also darkened, and he didn't know what happened at all.

However, Yu Shan felt uneasy for no reason.

Looking at this battle, the emperor must have a lot of things to discuss.

However, if this is the case, why not discuss it earlier, while Yu Shangshu is still in the capital.

As soon as Yu Shangshu left here, the emperor called them into the palace...

"My lords, His Majesty ordered you to have an audience."

Not long after, Cheng Jing in python clothes came out from the hall and interrupted their conversation.

At the same time, the first three clay statue-like elders opened their eyes at the same time, nodded to Cheng Jing, and then walked into the hall.

The emperor had already sat down in the hall, and after everyone saluted and offered their seats, the emperor began to order people one by one.

Coincidentally, the first one I clicked on was Yu Shan from the Ministry of War.

"I called all of you here today because I have a few things to say. The first one is about the commander of the Jingwei."

"A few days ago, there was a new funeral in the British government. It is not suitable for Zhang Xiang to be imprisoned in the palace. From now on, he will be transferred to the governor's office of the Chinese army."

"The vacated post of commander of the prefecture army will be taken over by Wang Ying, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Hang Yu, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, will be transferred to be the commander of the Habayashi Left Guard."

"Yu Qing, you go back and cooperate with the military department to approve and issue the transfer documents."

Yu Shilang didn't expect that the emperor would be the first to look for him.

After a moment of bewilderment, he successfully received the message from the emperor.

After reacting, there was a burst of pain in my heart.

The commander of Jingwei is actually the so-called Shangzhi 26 Guards, which is commonly known as the Forbidden Army.

Logically speaking, the appointment of personnel in this part, whether it is the governor's office of the five armies or the Ministry of war, is not qualified to interfere, and it depends entirely on the emperor's will.

But the problem is that the two candidates appointed by the emperor, Jinyiwei Commander Wang Ying and Qianhu Hangyu, are both foreign relatives, and their official titles are also falsely conferred, and they don't care about their salary.

Wang Ying is now the father of the Empress Wang of the Central Palace, and Hang Yu is the father of the noble concubine Hang, and also the grandfather of the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Jianji.

According to the usual practice, concubines and mother clans cannot hold real positions.

But what the emperor meant was obviously to let them guard Miyagi.

All of a sudden, Yu Shilang understood why the emperor waited until Yu Shaobao left the capital before calling him over.

If Yu Shaobao was here, he would definitely not agree to this kind of foreign relatives intervening in politics.

Although the Ministry of War cannot directly intervene in the appointment of the generals of the Imperial Army, it manages the roster of the birthplaces of all the actual military generals.

Therefore, it is possible to stop it programmatically.

However, I changed myself...

Yu Shan looked around, seeing how the elders looked at each other carefully, he knew that no one would agree with him.

Tasting the tone of the emperor again, it is clear that he is giving an order, not negotiating.

Therefore, Yu Shilang nodded rationally and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will obey your orders. After returning to the Ministry of War, I will take care of it immediately."

The Son of Heaven was obviously quite satisfied with Yu Shan's kindness, so he nodded, signaling him to step back for now, and then speak again.

"The negotiation to welcome back the Supreme Emperor is coming to an end. I have ordered people to tidy up the Hongqing Palace where the former Emperor lived when he hid in his residence, so that the Supreme Emperor can stay when he returns."

"Here from the Ministry of Rites, are the ritual note for the welcome ready?"

Compared to Yu Shan who was caught off guard, Mr. Hu Wei was obviously more prepared.

Although he also didn't get any news in advance, but he, who is proficient in business, listened to the emperor's question, and only thought about it for a while.

"The Ministry of Rites has been discussing this matter, but it has not yet reached a conclusion. The ministers and others have made preliminary discussions. They should send a minister of the Ministry of Rites and the officials in charge of Honglu Temple to Juyongguan to welcome the emperor. He will accompany the commander of Jinyiwei and lead the official school to welcome the emperor and enter the customs. Afterwards, the officials of the various yamen and the commander-in-chief lined up inside the city gate to greet him."

"When the Supreme Emperor's chariot arrived at the capital, he entered the capital through the Anding Gate, and after entering the imperial city from the Dong'an Gate, he sat facing north. His Majesty led the officials to meet and greet him. His Majesty bowed. Go to the south gate and enter Hongqing Palace."

Although it is said that it has not been agreed upon, but this kind of etiquette procedure, Hu Lao Shangshu does not know how many times he has practiced it.

Therefore, in just a moment, he described the general process.

However, after listening to the emperor, he showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Not only that, what the emperor said also surprised Hu Shangshu and the elders.

The emperor said: "It's too simple!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall. The elders expected that the emperor might be angry, and also expected that the emperor might think that the gift of welcome was too heavy, but they didn't expect that the emperor would think it was not heavy enough.

However, the emperor didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong, and he spoke calmly under the strange eyes of the ministers.

"The Emperor Taishang stayed in the captive court for nearly a year. The country was in turmoil and the family society was in trouble. If you are lucky enough to return to the capital, it is indeed the blessing of the ancestors and the blessings of the heavens. How can such a major event be settled so hastily?"

"Hu Shangshu, re-draft the ceremonial notes. On the day the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing, I will lead a group of officials to greet him outside the Zhengyang Gate. After welcoming the capital, he will enter the imperial city from the Daming Gate. The ancestral temple, only to tell the ancestors that the emperor has returned."

"Following that, I and the emperor will jointly go to the Fengtian Hall, promulgate the edict of amnesty for the whole world, and celebrate the joy of the emperor's return to the court. After the ceremony, we will enter the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and pay respects to the empress dowager. In this way, it conforms to the etiquette system and conforms to the identity."

These words were taken aback by a group of elders.

Except for Hu Wei, the people present were not that familiar with the huge and complicated etiquette system.

But they have always been involved.

Hu Laoshangshu's meaning is actually very simple, everyone brought the Supreme Emperor back, saluted at Dong'an Gate, had a face-to-face photo, and then sent him to Nangong, what should everyone do.

But the emperor made this process extremely complicated, not only had to go out of the palace city, but also the imperial city, and even the capital city to meet him.

This alone will mobilize the entire capital.

You know, the emperor drove out of the city to meet him, clearing the streets, sweeping, and paving the road with loess in advance, all kinds of things must be prepared in advance.

And not only to greet, but also to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, issue an edict of amnesty to the world, and pay homage to the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager.

Just listening to the etiquette system, the elders feel their scalps go numb, and they don't even want to finish it if they don't spend a whole day.

For a while, they couldn't tell whether the emperor was speaking the truth or irony.

However, among these people, Hu Wei was not included.

After listening to the emperor's words, the old man frowned, and his face looked a bit troubled...
