Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 629 Seeking common ground while reserving differences
Even though it was in private, and those present were all his own people, but after absorbing Zhu Ge's advanced experience, Lord Ren Hou also restrained himself a lot when speaking.

The words were cryptic, but the meaning was very clear. It was nothing more than moving out to Nangong to suppress the crowd. In fact, this was why Ren Li had always felt that there would be no accidents these days.

The Supreme Emperor has already spoken. Could it be that the British government and others will not listen?
It should be said that this is indeed a good card, but it may not be so easy to use!

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Chen Mao spoke softly, saying.

"Major affairs of the government should be considered by many parties. At that time, it was only said that the army should be rectified and the war should be carried out. The court should focus on peace. However, what should be done specifically? Isn't this being discussed?"

"The regulations of the Ministry of War involve many things, but it's not a good thing to fight civil and military affairs in the court. Besides, it may not be successful. It's better to figure it out slowly. Anyway, it's not a day's work to straighten out the army!"

So, things turn around.

Just now Zhu Jian blocked Chen Mao's mouth with words, but now he learned and sold them, and used them again.

Didn't he want to play word games? Since that's the case, the Supreme Emperor didn't say that he would launch an attack at the court meeting. The old man just expressed his attitude and let all the families unite to protect themselves.

Stopping court discussions is self-preservation, and passive resistance in private is also self-preservation. How to do it depends on these people present.

Ren Li's words froze, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because what Chen Mao said was right, in fact, he could also see that in the Qinghe Pavilion, the emphasis of the Supreme Emperor was actually on wooing the British government, the Chengguo government.

As for the rectification of the army, for most noble families, it would not hurt the root cause, so the Supreme Emperor did not have such a strong will to stop it.

It's just that at that time, led by Ren Li, the attitude of opposition to this matter was very fierce, and the old man just pushed the boat along.

Or to put it more bluntly, in Nangong's current situation, as long as there is no problem in the general direction of allegiance to the Supreme Emperor, they still have a lot of freedom in other specific measures.

Ren Li felt more and more that things were out of his control, but until now, he still hadn't figured out what went wrong.

Until he saw that in the silence, Captain Jiao Jing stared at him closely and asked.

"Renhou, the old man has been having a question that I can't figure out. I don't know if Renhou can explain it?"

Following this sentence, everyone's eyes focused on Ren Li, making him frowned subconsciously, a little uncomfortable, said.

"what?"

Jiao Jing asked: "There are many mansions involved in the military settlements. If they want to be tidied up, there must be a court turmoil. Everyone is unwilling, but they can still be stable. Why did Ren Hou fight from the beginning? Is there any hidden reason for being so radical?"

"Please let me explain!"

The room suddenly became audible, Ren Li's complexion suddenly darkened, and his eyes looking at Jiao Jing became a little more dangerous.

However, feeling the gazes of the crowd, Ren Li also understood that if he could not come up with a reasonable explanation, today's discussion would be a waste of time.

Thoughts turned quickly in his mind, Ren Li was displeased and said.

"What does Prince Jiao mean by that?"

Hurriedly getting up from the chair, Ren Li casually picked up the military memorabilia placed beside him, and shook it vigorously in front of everyone's eyes, his voice suddenly raised, and said.

"This time to rectify the army, the Ministry of War clearly intends to suppress us and other nobles, and the knives have already been revealed. Do you still expect others to be merciful?"

"The son-in-law said radical, so how can you call it not radical?"

"Let the Ministry of War press on every step of the way, use the power of the imperial court to turmoil inside and outside, and when the mansions are forced to have no choice, will you beg for mercy again?"

Ren Li's sudden anger shocked everyone present.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhu Yi quickly came out to persuade her, saying.

"Marquis Ren, don't get angry, the son-in-law just has doubts in his heart, and feels that there is no need to make such a big fuss in the court, after all..."

"After all what?"

The aura that Marquis Ren had finally brought up was naturally not reconciled to being blocked like this.

Seeing Zhu Yi stand up as a peacemaker, Lord Ren said sorry silently in his heart, and then interrupted him directly, saying in a cold voice.

"My lord, you should be the clearest about this matter. After the civil war, many ministers in the court took advantage of the civil defeat to oppress me and other honorable and military officials. It has been a long time ago."

"First Duke Cheng fought all his life and died in battle. As a result, the title of Duke Cheng's mansion has not yet been settled. Isn't this the result of step by step retreat?"

Zhu Yi immediately froze on the spot, clenched her fists tightly, her face flushed red.

All the people present were also surprised for a while, they didn't expect that Ren Li went crazy this time, he really didn't recognize his relatives.

Who doesn't know that the title of Duke Cheng's mansion is the deepest scar in this little Duke's heart.

In the end, he came out out of good intentions to smooth things over, but in the end, you, Master Ren Hou, stabbed a knife in people's hearts...

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Some who wanted to persuade him, but when they saw Master Zhu's appearance, they wisely kept silent.

After all, at the end, Jiao Jing stood up and said.

"So, what Marquis Ren means is that there is no special reason. He just feels that nowadays, honorable military officials need to have a voice in the court, so he insists on blocking court discussions, right?"

"Is not it?"

Ren Liben didn't want to hold on to Zhu Yi, since Jiao Jing said something, he naturally changed his partner and looked at Jiao Jingdao.

"This old man came from the battlefield. The way of battle is to kill decisively. The most taboo thing is indecision."

"Many times, even though you are at a disadvantage in battle, if you fight hard, you may not have no chance. Most of the reasons why you lose are because the generals are not decisive enough, and their strength is gradually eroded by others. When they are forced into a desperate situation and plan to fight desperately, It's already too late."

"This old man doesn't understand government affairs, but he knows how to fight!"

"Prince Jiao asked the old man why he was so aggressive, and the old man replied that there is no special reason, just because we, the honorable military officials, cannot continue to be pushed one foot today and one inch tomorrow."

"Otherwise, when we are forced to have no choice, I am afraid that we will have no place to stand above the court!"

Lord Ren Hou said these words with heartache and righteousness, so many honorable officials present couldn't help but bow their heads and think.

Seeing this situation, Ren Li breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax, and said while the iron was hot.

"Everyone, no matter how to deal with it, there should always be a charter. Only when all the governments work together can we achieve results. If we can't agree with each other and have our own ideas, we will be in a state of disunity when we reach the court, which will only increase the laughingstock. !"

"Therefore, since you have decided to stop the court discussion, please do your best. Don't look forward and backward. Above the court discussion, there is an old man who takes the lead. If there is any reprimand and blame, it is the old man who bears the brunt. You will never feel that the old man is taking the blame. Are you kidding about the future of your own life?"

The voice fell, and there was a low voice of discussion in the room.

It can be seen that this time, Lord Ren is really cruel, and he can even say such words.

However, it is true.

Jiao Jing frowned, he always felt that Ren Li's behavior was abnormal.

Although the explanation he gave barely made sense, Jiao Jing still felt that something was wrong.

However, from a logical point of view, Jiao Jing also had to admit that Ren Li was right.

In the court meeting, the person who put the most pressure on him was actually Ren Li, the leader. If he failed, then the person who was punished the most would also be Ren Li himself.

If he really had other plans, Ren Li would risk himself for no reason.

However, no matter how you say it, it's not appropriate to continue to obstruct him if we talk about this.

So, Jiao Jing pondered for a moment and said.

"What Ren Hou said is also reasonable, but the old man still feels that it is not a good idea to make too much noise in the court meeting. Ren Hou, don't you think about it again?"

Having said that, the tone of voice has obviously relaxed a lot.

Ren Li nodded firmly and said.

"My son-in-law, don't worry, for the stability of the frontier court and for our honorable military officials to have a place in the court, this Marquis is obliged to do so!"

While speaking, Ren Li looked at Zhang Mi and Zhu Yi who were on the side.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with Jiao Jing and Chen Mao, and finally nodded and said.

"Since that's the case, it's hard work. After returning today, the old man and the young master will go to the various mansions again. When the court discusses, we will definitely try our best to help."

Ren Li breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and cupped his hands, and said.

"I will live up to your trust!"

Logically speaking, the discussion should have come to an end here, but Zhang Xiang and the others had no intention of getting up, and turned their attention to Jiao Jing again.

So, Jiao Jing raised his head and continued to speak.

"Marquis Ren, there is one more thing about Donggong leaving the pavilion!"

"It was actually mentioned just now that the young master has inquired about the news from Da Zongbo. The Ministry of Rites is now intentionally delaying the date of the East Palace's departure from the pavilion. If there is no accident, it should be a hint from the palace."

"The state of the Eastern Palace is a matter of great importance. Therefore, I will wait until the court discusses to ask for the date of the Eastern Palace to leave the cabinet earlier. It still needs the cooperation of the Marquis."

Ren Li was stunned for a moment, seeing Jiao Jing's expression, he seemed to understand something in his heart.

No wonder Jiao Jing didn't want to have a conflict in the court discussion, it turned out that he was concerned about the Eastern Palace.

Ren Li really wanted to say that it was a certainty that the East Palace would leave the pavilion, even if it was delayed, it would only be a few months earlier or later, there was no need to make trouble at this time.

However, feeling the gazes cast by Zhang Yu and others at the same time, he still nodded and said, "It should be so."

Looking back at the entire discussion today, Ren Li could feel that Jiao Jing must have communicated with Zhang Yu and others in private.

If there is no accident, it should be the matter of the East Palace.

If at this time, he rejects the proposal, I'm afraid there will be more troubles, so it's better to agree first.

Anyway, when it came to the court discussion, Ren Li himself was the one who took the lead. He stabilized Jiao Jing and the others first, and the matter of the East Palace had to be brought into play after the court meeting.

It was too late, and Ren Li got the "promise" from Zhang Yu and others as he wished. After discussing some details, they each boarded the carriage and returned home.

However, several carriages left Ningyuanhou's Mansion, went round and round, but met again at the corner of the street.

"Second Master, Young Master..."

Jiao Jing got into the carriage, saw that Zhang Min and Zhu Yi were already waiting, so he said directly without being too polite.

"Since Ren Hou insists so much, it is useless for me to persuade you, but what Ren Hou said is not completely unreasonable. We and other relatives really need to make a fuss in the court, otherwise, others will always think that anyone can do it." Come here and give me a kick."

Hearing this, Zhu Yi frowned and said.

"What, the son-in-law has changed his mind? Are you really planning to fight with Marquis Ren and the minister?"

Jiao Jing smiled wryly and shook his head, saying.

"Of course not. For this reasoning, at the British government that day, the old man had already said that it would be really difficult to block the matter of rectifying the military settlements at the court meeting."

"Even if you want to think of an idea, you have to be in the process of implementing it. At that time, the relationship and connections of my relatives and relatives will come into play."

"Especially in Duke Cheng's mansion. The old man knows that during this period of time, the young man has made friends with many young civil servants. This time there is such a big commotion in the Ministry of War, some of them must be involved."

"When I really wait for them to move, that's when I need to deal with it. Now, there is no need to worry."

"It's just that Marquis Ren's attitude is so resolute. If I can't stop him, then I can only let him touch this nail..."

These words were regarded as a compliment to Zhu Yi, affirming his importance in the Supreme Emperor's party in a disguised form.

After all, among so many lords' families, only Chengguo's mansion has always had a good relationship with civil servants. Zhu Yi has also been trying to pick up these relationships during this period of time. Looking at it now, it is quite effective.

Pausing for a while, Jiao Jing's expression became serious, and said.

"So, in this court meeting, what needs to be moved must be moved. We will try our best to cooperate with what the Marquis wants to do. However, we need to grasp the scale, and we need to stop in time. We just want to give the courtiers some peace." Shocking, not really wanting to turn their backs, on this point, the young master and the second master have to get to the bottom of it with each government."

Zhang Min and Zhu Yi looked at each other, nodded in unison, and said, "Don't worry."

Therefore, Jiao Jing continued: "The other thing is, since there is going to be trouble, it can't be in vain. Even if the matter of rectifying the military settlement has passed the court discussion, there are ways to do it later."

"However, the sooner the East Palace leaves the pavilion, the better. At the very least, the date must be fixed first, so that it will be delayed for no reason, and I'm afraid there will be more dreams in the night."

"This court meeting, as long as this matter can be finalized, my hard work will not be in vain!"

Under the shadow of night, Jiao Jing left in a hurry.

However, Zhang Min's carriage was still parked in the distance, watching Jiao Jing's carriage disappear into the corner of the street, Zhang Min put down the curtain of the carriage, looked at Zhu Yi, and said.

"My lord, the old man has done everything for you. Now, everything is ready, and the only thing I owe is Dongfeng!"

Zhu Yi breathed out lightly, his eyes fell on a certain place in the capital through the night sky, and after a while, he grinned and said.

"Don't worry Shibo, the east wind has already risen!"
