Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 624

Seeing Zhang Min's serious face, Zhu Yi couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, he was not mistaken. In the final analysis, the British government is essentially just trying to get the maximum benefit.

Their so-called "loyalty" to the Supreme Emperor, in the final analysis, is because they have no choice.

This point has never changed from Zhang Fu at the beginning to Zhang Fu today.

From running around to unite the officials to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, to now agreeing to Zhu Yi to jointly bring down Ren Li.

One by one, it can be seen that in the hearts of people like Zhang Yu, the interests of their own inheritance are far more important than the interests of the Supreme Emperor.

At the beginning, Empress Dowager Sun finally chose Ren Li because she saw this.

Interestingly, though...

Recalling the scene in the Qinghe Pavilion, Zhu Yi could tell that the Supreme Emperor didn't think so.

Compared with Ren Li, who was deposed by him and relegated back to the government to think about his mistakes, the Supreme Emperor relied more heavily on the British government who was "born and died" for him.

However, this is quite normal.

Our Supreme Emperor has always been more emotional than rational, making decisions based on emotions more than making decisions based on analysis.

The British government originally relied on lonely and important ministers, and then Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu sacrificed his life one after another. The truth is here, and I must be grateful.

Even at this time, the Queen Mother in the palace reminded him, I am afraid that his old man may not take it to heart.

That being the case...

"Don't worry Shibo, my nephew just wants to inherit his own title. As Shibo said, no matter how much I cater to the emperor in a deal, it's just a hot face and a cold ass."

"You and my two houses can really rely on Nangong. How can my nephew act recklessly?"

What is the best method in this world?Of course it's deceiving and making people happy.

On this point, Zhang Fu is well versed.

When he was still there, the British government was deeply rooted and powerful, and the forces outside the palace were like an arm, and the Virgin Mary in the palace also regarded it as a humerus, and there was never any suspicion.

However, Zhang Xiang was obviously far behind. He exchanged Huichang Bo for Marquis Ningyang, which completely opened a crack inside and outside the palace, which can't be repaired until now.

As a result, Jiao Jing and Ren Li came from behind, and the majestic government was overwhelmed by others.

Now, since the turning point has come, even if Zhang Xiang can't catch it, Zhu Yi won't let it go for nothing.

Leaning forward, Zhu Yi spoke.

"Don't worry Shibo, if this matter is handled properly, it will only become a deadly struggle between the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and the Changping Marquis Mansion in the end. You and I... just clean up the mess for them."

Snow fell sporadically outside the window, although small but persistent.

The sky was getting dusk and the clouds were heavy, lights were lit up in all the houses, and a simple soft sedan landed in front of the British government house.

The visitor did not get out of the sedan chair, but only handed over the door post. The concierge of the British government looked at the door post, did not dare to neglect, immediately opened the door, and led him in with the sedan chair.

After entering the courtyard, Zhang Min came quickly, followed by Zhu Yi, who followed suit.

"I've seen Concubine Jiao, and there are so many people out there, it's inconvenient for me to come out to greet you, so I'm neglecting you."

The person who came was naturally Jiao Jing.

After a brief meeting in the afternoon, several people had their own thoughts and made an appointment to meet at this time. Jiao Jing came just as promised.

"Second Master, you're being polite. Today's New Year's Day, it's the old man who bothers you."

Standing in the courtyard of the British government, Jiao Jing bowed his hands with the same enthusiasm on his face, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Since Zhang Fu's death, the strength of the British government has declined. Although he married the Chengguo government, in the end, he has lost the greatest right to speak.

But who would have thought that in today's meeting, the situation would quietly change again.

It has to be said that things are unpredictable.

After a short exchange of greetings, the few people entered the banquet that had been prepared long ago. There was a chatter of toasts and cups, but the host and guest were in harmony. However, at the banquet, the few people did not mention any serious business.

After the banquet, Zhang Min brought the two of them to the study room and sat down, Jiao Jingfang said.

"Second master, young master, to be honest, I am here today with two things in mind, and I want to ask you two for your opinion."

"Please tell me, my son-in-law."

"One, it's about Ningyuan Hou Renli..."

Jiao Jing seemed a little anxious at the moment, his brows were wrinkled.

At the same time, after hearing these words, Zhang Yu and Zhu Yi were subconsciously startled, and they exchanged glances, and Zhang Yufang asked immediately.

"Why, does the son-in-law think there is something wrong with Ren Hou?"

Although this small movement was not eye-catching, Jiao Jing naturally noticed it, but he didn't say much, just pondered for a moment, and opened his mouth.

"It's not right to say that it's not right, but the old man does feel that something is wrong."

"Don't you two feel that during this period of time, Marquis Ren is a little too impetuous and eager for quick success?"

After the words fell, Zhu Yi was the first to react, thought for a while, and asked.

"My son-in-law means, after Nangong's audience today, Marquis Ren wants to invite me to come over to discuss countermeasures?"

Jiao Jing's face changed slightly, but he still shook his head and said.

"More than that, ever since the Supreme Emperor returned to the court, Marquis Ren has been very concerned about the matter of military settlements. He tried his best to promote the joint efforts of the nobles of various families to prevent the imperial court from rectifying the military settlements. There are benefits."

"However, the old man always feels too anxious. The specific regulations of the Ministry of War have not yet been fully released. Whether the emperor's rectification will be strong or small has not been determined, but Ren Hou's attitude is so fierce. This... always makes the old man feel that I feel a little uneasy."

Seeing Jiao Jing's slightly anxious expression, Zhang Min couldn't figure out why he said these words for a moment, after thinking about it, he asked tentatively.

"So, the son-in-law feels that there is something hidden in it?"

Jiao Jing pondered, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment, looked up at Zhang Min and Zhu Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Second master, young master, there are no outsiders here, so the old man just said it straight."

"The British government, the Chengguo government, and the old man, including most of the honorable families in Beijing, are all from Jingnan. Although there are many followers of Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, in the end, there are not many who went to guard the border in person. .”

"Although we have been involved a lot in the matter of the military settlements, most of them are handled by the subordinates. There should be only a few companies that really get involved directly."

"But Marquis Ren..."

Ren Li, Yanshan garrison soldier started his family, accompanied Emperor Taizong Jing Nan, moved to the capital to supervise the affairs, and later followed the Northern Expedition. He was in charge of Liaodong.

In the first year of Zhengtong, General Peiping Qiang left the town of Gansu. In the second year, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief. He went to Adai Khan for a big victory and was awarded the title of Uncle Ningyuan. After returning to the division, he was ordered to guard Gansu for more than ten years...

To put it bluntly, this Marquis of Ningyuan is the real one. He has been stationed at the border for many years and has never moved.

If there is anyone among the nobles who has actually personally involved in the occupation of military settlements, then Ren Li must be one of them!

There was a moment of silence in the study.

In the end, it was Zhu Yi who spoke first, and said coldly.

"In this way, the son-in-law feels that Ren Hou is so eager to stop the rectification of the army, is he using me as a pawn to wipe his ass for what he did in Gansu?"
