Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 485
The sky had just dawned, the city gate was slowly pushed open, and smoke and dust rose all the way in the distance, several knights with envelopes on their backs and red feathers in their hats rushed towards them.

From a distance away, the officers and soldiers guarding the city hastily moved away the barricades in front of the city gate. A few knights roared past and rushed straight into the capital from Zhengyang Gate, without stopping for a moment...

In the Wenhua Palace, the early court is being held.

After Xu Bin and others were beheaded for public display, the court finally calmed down for a while. Not only that, but also a lot of good news came.

The biggest thing is that the Ministry of Industry has been repairing the canal for nearly eight months, and finally it is successfully completed.

After traveling around for more than half a year, almost doing everything by himself, Chen Xun, a civil servant who was born in Qingliu, really lost a lot of weight. The official robes that were originally fitted were a bit loose.

However, in this Wenhua Palace, Mr. Chen held the wat board in his hands, but he was extraordinarily high-spirited.

"Your Majesty, [-] troops from Beijing were used to construct the Guangji Canal. It took several months to build a large canal more than [-] miles long, with seven sluices connecting the Yellow River and Qinshui."

"If this canal is completed, it can solve the breach of Shawan for many years. In addition, it can also ensure the transshipment of grain next year."

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order, and I am here to report to His Majesty and submit a detailed report."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xun took out a playbook from his sleeve and handed it over.

The servant went down the imperial steps and handed the playbook to the imperial front. Zhu Qiyu opened it and looked at it, with a smile on his face, put the playbook down, and then said.

"Chen Shangshu has worked hard on this trip. The Guangji Canal is a matter of benefiting the country and the people. In just a few months, the [-]-mile long canal can be built. It is thanks to the cooperation of Chen Shangshu and the accompanying officials, officers and men."

"Cheng Jing, pass down the decree that all the officers and soldiers who participate in the construction of the canal will be rewarded with two taels of silver, a piece of cloth, and allowed to rest for seven days."

"Chen Shangshu has also worked hard, and I will allow you to take a rest for seven days, and then go back to the official department, and hand over the other participating officials to me according to their merits."

Cheng Jing nodded, leaned over to receive the order, Chen Xun also knelt down to thank him, and the court was filled with a harmonious atmosphere.

Although, when the emperor wanted to build the canal at the beginning, many people in the court opposed it, but the canal was built, and the benefits are obvious.

At least, next year's water transportation of grain can be guaranteed, so that everyone's salary can be received in a safe and secure manner, so they are naturally happy.

For the people who participated in the construction of the canal, the ordinary officers and soldiers received real rewards, and the officials who contributed to the canal also said that they wanted to be rewarded.

Although as the leader, Chen Xun, who had been busy for more than half a year, seemed to have gained nothing, only had to rest for seven days.

But for his old man, at this level, any rewards are outside his body.

The existence of this canal itself is the best reward for him.

You must know that Chen Xun was born in Qingliu after all, he has been circulating in the Hanlin Academy, and rarely had any contact with practical affairs, so he was able to be ranked among the Qiqing ministers of the Ministry of Industry, and the court has always been criticized.

However, if Guangji is successful, all the voices of these discussions will disappear, which in itself is a huge political resource.

Everyone was very happy, but Shen Shangshu from the household department secretly felt sorry for the silver. He was planning to go to court, whether to grind the emperor, and get some silver from the inner carrier warehouse.

Silver is used everywhere in the imperial court, and now the mutual market has reopened. Just a month ago, the envoys sent by the imperial store and the five major tribes completed the first transaction. Although it was the first mutual market, both parties were relatively restrained and cautious. There are not too many types.

But the Ministry of Households finally started to have extra income, which comforted Shen Shangshu, who had been unable to get in all the time. Of course, it was far from enough to fill the treasury, so he had already set his sights on the emperor's internal storage.

But right now, there seems to be no hope...

So, amidst the compliments of Long Live Sheng Ming, a servant came in hurriedly from outside the hall, and said a few words in the ear of the eunuch Cheng Jing.

Then, Cheng Jing returned to the imperial steps and reported to the emperor in a low voice. All the officials saw that the emperor's originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn.

"Xuan!"

As the sound of Lun came down, two travel-worn urgent sergeants came in from outside the hall, carrying envelopes made of cowhide, came to the hall, prostrated themselves on the ground, and said.

"Long live my emperor, Qi Zou Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu sent an urgent military report in Datong, Your Majesty please read it."

There is no need to say anything about this attire and identity, and the sergeant didn't talk too much nonsense. He took off the envelope on his back, opened it carefully, took out a well-wrapped envelope, and raised his hands above his head.

Under the eyes of everyone, a servant came down to take the military report and handed it to the imperial court, and the courtiers also faintly became agitated.

Yu Qian, Datong, Emergency Military Report...

In the battle of Shawo, Wala was newly defeated, and on the Tatar side, the trade has just begun, so there should be no major incidents at the border in a short period of time.

The military report sent directly to the imperial court, and it was sent by Yu Qian himself.

To be able to have such a weight, if it wasn't for another war on the border, it could only be...

As a result, everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on the hands of the emperor.

The next moment, they saw a smile on the face of the Son of Heaven, with a sense of relief.

Then, the Son of Heaven handed the general report to Cheng Jing who was at the side, and said flatly, "Xuan."

Cheng Jing bowed to take it, and then unfolded the General's newspaper, and read it aloud under the expectant eyes of everyone.

"Minister Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Defense, and Minister of Military Affairs of both sides, Yu Qian, the Minister ordered a thorough investigation of Uncle Jingyuan, Wang Ji, and the case of the reselling of military weapons by the left deputy capital Yushi Luotong to Datong. On August [-]th, the embassy was informed. Urgent report."

"Fortunately, Zhu Jian and others did not disgrace their orders. They have already completed the peace talks with the enemy chieftains. The Supreme Emperor will set off seven days later and arrive at Datong Mansion on the first day of September. In order to prevent the captives from cheating, the minister has ordered Datong to gather the officers and troops from all over the Xuan Mansion. , stand ready."

"In order to welcome the emperor, I ask you to stay in Datong temporarily, and ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare as soon as possible, and send another capable minister to welcome him, as a gift from the whole society."

After reading the military newspaper, there was a sudden "buzz" in the hall.

Many ministers burst into tears immediately, murmuring "the blessing of the ancestors" and "the blessing of the country" in their mouths.

At the same time, many ministers also stood up and said.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the return of the Supreme Emperor can be expected, and the Tianjia will finally be complete. This is the fortune of the community and the fortune of all the people."

All of a sudden, the whole court was full of congratulatory voices.

In the final analysis, the Taishang Huangbei Shoulu Camp has always been a big rock in everyone's heart.

Even though it was a civil war, the Supreme Emperor had a big fault, but as a king, he was held hostage by captives. This kind of humiliation was deeply engraved in the hearts of every courtier.

Until this moment, when the news of Yingfu was confirmed, everyone was relieved.

It's still the original sentence, no matter how beautiful the victory at Zijingguan is, how exciting the victory at Shawo is.

But the Supreme Emperor is still in the north for a day, so this battle cannot be said to have been won.

Only when the Supreme Emperor really returns to the capital, can Daming draw a real end to this great war.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere had been suppressed for too long, the court cheered for nearly a quarter of an hour before slowly stopping.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the detailed peace talks documents sent by the mission in his hand, and almost read the whole process of the negotiations when the officials cheered.

After reading it, my heart is quite complicated.

Peace talks are not easy after all, even when Daming already has an advantage, there are still twists and turns.

Of course, what made him even more uneasy.

The Supreme Emperor, his long-lost brother, is finally coming back...
