Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 620 Going through the government?
After leaving the Nangong Palace, everyone roughly walked out of the sight of the guards at the palace gate and stopped at the corner.

Afterwards, Ren Li cupped his hands at Zhang Wei, Zhu Yi and the others, and said.

"Several people, I'm afraid there will be a court meeting after the seal is opened in the next year. I'm afraid we need to find an opportunity to discuss what regulations we should have."

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and said.

"It just so happens that the Marquis has prepared a banquet in the mansion. I don't know if you can come to the mansion to talk about it?"

After the words were finished, the other people were still hesitating, and Zhang Min who was on the side spoke.

"It is necessary to discuss, but today Zhengdan, we are gathered together in the same mansion, I am afraid that it will attract attention. Besides, Ren Hou is right, the seal will be opened in the next year, and the time is tight. So, we might as well split up , First go to the various prefectures to find out what's going on."

"How about we have a clear idea of ​​the specific attitudes of each government, and then discuss specific methods?"

At this time, Zhu Yi followed suit.

"That's right, what the second master said is reasonable. Since we need to discuss it, we must know the attitude of each government in order to be able to target it."

Then, Captain Jiao Jing also spoke, saying.

"When the imperial court opens the seal, there are many affairs to be dealt with. The emperor only said that the seal will be opened in the next year, but he did not specify the specific date. For such an important imperial affairs, at least two or three days in advance should be notified to the yamen to prepare."

"Based on this, there are still a few days left. Don't be in a hurry today. Why don't we get together in the old man's mansion in three days' time?"

Ren Li hit a soft nail and felt a little resentful.

However, seeing that no one else had any objections, he could only nod his head.

Afterwards, several people parted ways, Ren Li's mansion was the farthest, so he was the first to leave, and the others fell behind him.

The carriage that had been waiting for Li went away, but Jiao Jing, Zhang Min and Zhu Yi were still standing there.

Snowflakes fluttered here and there in the sky, and when they landed on my shoulders, they turned into snow water.

After a while, Jiao Jing turned around and got into the carriage.

However, when the carriage was about to leave, the curtain next to it was suddenly lifted, Jiao Jing said.

"I don't know tonight, if the second master and the young father-in-law are free, can we go over to the house and talk about it?"

Zhang Min didn't hesitate much, but just as he was about to speak, Zhu Yi at the side took the first step and said.

"My son-in-law invites me, of course there are. It just so happens that I will bring my younger brother Zhu Ji to visit the British mansion. If my son-in-law is interested, the second master and I will prepare a banquet at the British mansion tonight. Consort, how are you?"

Jiao Jing obviously didn't expect that it would be Zhu Yi who spoke.

Frowning slightly, his eyes lingered on Zhang Min and Zhu Yi for a moment, and finally, he nodded slightly.

The carriage staggered forward, Zhang Mo looked at Zhu Yi, and was about to speak, but Zhu Yi interrupted him again, saying.

"Second Master, there are many people here, can you tell me about it?"

"Uh, good."

…………

British government, in the study.

The fire was warm, and he changed into a soft robe, and ordered someone to bring tea and snacks. Zhang Wei and Zhu Yi sat opposite each other, waiting for the other party to speak.

Compared with the dead Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu is indeed not considered sophisticated, but, growing up in a noble family like the British government, he is naturally not without a city.

This New Year's Eve, Zhu Yi rushed to the British government in a hurry, and sent other people away to meet alone, so there must be something important to talk about.

In all likelihood, it has something to do with the army!
Sure enough, Zhu Yi cut straight to the point and said.

"Shibo, your two families are good friends now, so my nephew has something to say. Just now, the Supreme Emperor said that he wanted to prevent the passage of the imperial court's order to reorganize the military settlements. My nephew thinks, no!"

The teacup that Zhang Min brought to his mouth stopped.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he frowned slightly, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked.

"Why?"

Preventing the emperor from rectifying the military settlements is the current consensus of several great lord families.

In fact, Ningyuan Hou Renli had mentioned this matter since the Supreme Emperor returned to the court. Later, with the frequent actions of the Ministry of War, all the nobles also raised their vigilance on this matter.

During this period of time, the Ministry of War was intensively preparing to rectify the rules and regulations of the military settlements, and Ren Li was not idle.

As the first nobleman who discovered that Yu Qian was investigating the army station, Ren Li had already started to visit the nobles who were close to him in the days after returning to Beijing, hoping to get support and stop this matter.

The British government is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

As the former leader of the honorable family, the British government's interests in the army are not small.

Although it is said that the achievements of the Zhang family come from Annan, their influence on the border is not very strong.

However, as one of the few remaining public houses of the imperial court, because of its status in the court, there are not a few people who will spontaneously join the British government.

At the same time, many of the generals trained by the British government were sent out to guard the border.

This has led to the fact that although no one in the British government has actually operated on the border, in terms of the number of military settlements occupied, it is one of the few among the many honored officials.

Therefore, Zhang Xiang agreed to Ren Li's proposal without thinking too much about it.

Because, this is in the interests of most noble families.

He did expect that Zhu Yi's coming to him was related to the army, but he did not expect that Zhu Yi was so unequivocally opposed to it.

Facing Zhang Nu's ignorant gaze, Zhu Yi didn't panic, and just said a word, he said.

"Because, it can't be done!"

Earlier, when Yang Jie came to the door in person, what he said really moved Zhu Yi's heart, but after he calmed down afterwards, he found that this matter was not easy to handle.

The biggest difficulty lies in how to persuade Zhang Min.

To overthrow Ningyuanhou's Mansion and raise Chengguo Duke's Mansion, the two dukes' mansions unite and take back the power, seems very good, but it ignores the key point.

This is sacrificing the overall interests of the nobles in exchange for the status of the Chengguo government and the British government.

This is not just a matter of giving up a Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

At Duke Cheng's mansion that day, Yang Jie made it very clear that the reason why Duke Cheng's title has been stuck is because the imperial court has always been brooding over the failure of the battle at Yaoerling.

If you want to get back the title, you have to wait for time to gradually forget about it, or you can only give enough benefits to make people forget about it.

At this juncture, it is worthwhile to restore the Duke's position, which is naturally to let the rectification of the army continue smoothly.

So in essence, Ren Li is just a symbol. Once he is defeated, it will be followed by the compromise of other nobles on the matter of the military settlement.

This is the most difficult to solve!

Undoubtedly, the first person Zhu Yi wanted to persuade was naturally Zhang Xiang in front of him.

The atmosphere in the study was a bit stagnant. After hearing Zhu Yi's words, Zhang Min's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he sat up straight and spoke softly.

"Little Grandpa, please explain to this old man, what do you mean... can't do it?"
