Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 623 The game is all about patience
In the study room of the British government, Zhang Min and Zhu Yi were sitting opposite each other.

The fragrance of tea curls up, and wisps of hot air rise up, hovering upwards, and linger for a long time.

The look on Zhang Min's face was more serious than ever, and his voice became a little aggressive, he said.

"Do you know that it is not only Ning Yuanhou's idea to stop this matter from being carried out, but also the Supreme Emperor's intention. In other words, what you do...is defying the Supreme Emperor's will!"

As he spoke, Zhang Min's body leaned forward slightly, and a dangerous light appeared in his eyes, carrying a strong sense of oppression.

However, in the face of this situation, Zhu Yi remained undisturbed, pressed the cup in front of Zhang Yu, pulled it between the two of them, and nodded equally seriously.

"Know!"

Zhang Min's face became more and more serious, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his tone, said.

"Then you can understand that now that there are no nobles and nobles, and those who have military exploits and outstanding abilities, being a Marquis is almost the only choice."

"If you want to overthrow him and replace him with the successor of the duke's title, it will consume the little vitality left by the nobles internally, and encourage the civil servants to suppress the nobles' arrogance!"

The atmosphere in the study suddenly froze, Zhang Min stared at Zhu Yi without blinking, but the latter remained unmoved and continued to nod his head.

"understand!"

"Then you know..."

Zhang Wei stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked down at the opposite side.

"Even if this matter is done successfully and the Duke of Cheng's mansion can successfully inherit the title, it's just a tacit transaction."

"The court situation is like this, even if you try to flatter the emperor, with Li Xian, Fan Guang and others waiting, the emperor will not be able to entrust you with important tasks."

"After this incident, we still have to lean around Nangong!"

This time, Zhu Yi fell silent.

Only for a moment, he raised his head, his attitude remained firm.

"clear!"

"Still don't have the slightest intention to change your mind?"

"no!"

Although he already knew the result, Zhang Xiang still couldn't help feeling powerless when he looked at the unwavering Zhu Yi in front of him.

Holding the table and slowly sitting on the chair, Zhang Min gently rubbed his forehead, his voice was not as oppressive as before, but still serious.

"You never thought about it, what if the old man doesn't agree to help you?"

"If you can't turn this cup over, there will be no room for you in the court and the public!"

Of course, this is not Zhang Min's bluff.

As Zhu Yi said, the most important part of this plan is to take the bottom line and remove everything that Ren Li can rely on.

The support of the British government is Ren Li's biggest confidence now.

As long as there is this point, no matter how big the storm is, Ren Li will dare to touch it.

This is also the reason why Ren Li wanted to resist from the very beginning.

But the government of Chengguo is different.

If the support of the British government cannot be won, then Zhu Yi can only join forces with the Changping Houfu to attack Ren Li in the court together.

In this way, the victory or defeat is still two things to say.

Even if he got his wish in the end, he would stand on the opposite side of all the nobles.

Even so, with the marriage gift from the Empress Dowager, it was still impossible for the Chengguo Mansion to gain the unreserved trust of the emperor.

At that time, even if the title is taken back, Duke Cheng's Mansion will fall into an embarrassing situation where neither side can rely on it.

The Duke of Cheng's Mansion is coercing the Duke of England's government, but the Duke of England's hand holds the means to suppress the Duke's government...

The eyes of the two collided in the air, and Zhu Yi smiled slightly, with strong confidence in her words.

"Cheng Guo's mansion has nowhere to go, but the British mansion is not at the end of the road. Uncle, do you want to fight with my nephew?"

In one sentence, the point is highlighted.

Up to now, what the two are playing is nothing more than the other party's determination.

Whoever is not determined enough will lose the initiative.

So, amidst Zhang Nu's complicated expression, Zhu Yi slowly stretched out her hand, and lightly pressed it on the only cup that was still facing up in the middle of the table.

Then, he buckled it down firmly, and said softly.

"Shibo has already made a decision, so why bother playing tricks?"

Simple movements, at this moment, have different meanings.

Zhang Min leaned gently on the back of the chair, pinched the center of his brows, this time, he finally didn't continue to deny, just said.

"Speaking of which, these more than forty honorable families are all making wedding dresses for your Duke Cheng's mansion. Do you know that if you use this method too much, you will be backlashed..."

The words were not pleasant, but there was a smile on Zhu Yi's face.

If you are willing to negotiate the conditions, it means that the matter is more than half done.

Slightly relieved, Zhu Yi shook her head and asked back.

"What is Shibo saying? The honorable family is united, the status of Cheng Guo's government is stable, and the British government is naturally solid. Besides, in Shibo's heart, it is not that he does not want to see Ning Yuanhou so prominent ?"

Zhang Min opened his eyes, his expression was uncertain, but he didn't deny it.

Indeed, during this period of time, Ren Li's over-concentration on the rectification of the army has also aroused his vigilance.

You know, the original plan was to let Ren Li take charge of the overall situation temporarily, and when Zhang Fu returned from his envoy, he would retire.

At that time, Zhang Fu will be responsible for welcoming back the emperor, and his status in the military mansion will naturally rise to a higher level.

But, who knows that the situation changed suddenly, the Supreme Emperor did come back, but Zhang Fu also ended up decapitated.

In desperation, Ren Li, the temporary person in charge, gradually became worthy of his name.

Since Zhang Fu's death, Zhang Fu could clearly feel that those noble generals who used to go to the British government's residence gradually decreased.

Correspondingly, Ningyuan Hou's Mansion began to become full of people.

This is normal and predictable, but the faint feeling of discomfort in Zhang Xiang's heart is indeed real.

Moreover, this tiny trace of discomfort was magnified by Zhu Yi just now.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Zhang Yu immediately understood what he meant when he asked this sentence.

Although at present, these forces in the military government and the nobles of the Northern Expedition line all follow the British government's face before following Ren Li.

However, this is like leading troops to fight in the army.

The newly appointed general may not have enough prestige to make the subordinates sincerely admire him, but as long as he wins a few battles one after another, it is not difficult to win the hearts of the troops.

Ren Li is now the general.

As he made his mark in the court again and again, and led the nobles to fight with the civil servants again and again, no matter whether he won or lost, the relationship between them would heat up rapidly.

Gradually, the influence of the British government on them will become less and less, until it is dissolved into nothing.

It is true that the stability of Ren Li's status is definitely a good thing for the Supreme Emperor's party.

However, not everyone has the spirit of sacrificing oneself for the sake of the overall situation.

At least, the British government, the Zhang family, Zhang Min... no!
Taking a long breath of relief, Zhang Bi straightened up, looked at Zhu Yi with clear eyes, and asked.

"So, what does the young master plan to do, he will never, really want to turn against the Supreme Emperor? If so, I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
