Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 656 Damn People
In the Hall of Martial Heroes, Yu Qian stared at the self-reporting letter in his hand. It was obviously only a few pages, but at the moment it seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties.

All the previous court discussions have already proved that Yang Neng's autograph must have written something confidential.

Otherwise, with such an important physical evidence, the Son of Heaven would not have repeatedly talked about him and refused to hand it over to the Ministry of War.

Now, this letter is in his hand, ready to be opened at any time, but Yu Qian is rarely hesitant in his heart, wondering whether he should open it or not.

As smart as he is, after reading the secret document from Dongchang, he already had guesses about the contents of this letter from Chen.

However, since Chen Shu was in his hands, Yu Qian could feel that the eyes of the emperor were watching him.

So, it doesn't matter if you want to or don't want to...

Raising his hand, he took Chen Shu out of the envelope and looked at it intently. The first line was what Yang Hong said in the court.

However, looking down, Yu Qian, as expected, saw the two words that he had already guessed...

Nangong!

In this self-reporting letter, Yang Neng wrote clearly that Ren Li was recruiting him on behalf of Nangong, and even recruiting the Marquis of Changping behind him.

Therefore, Yu Qian understood why the emperor kept this self-report in his hand and did not make it public, and also understood how much risk the entire Changping Marquis Mansion had taken in this court meeting.

In the Ningyuanhou Mansion, the reason why Ren Li dared to speak so unscrupulously was simply because he and Yang Neng were the only ones present.

Therefore, even if Yang Neng's self-disclosure is published, at most it is just a matter of opinion, and even Yang Neng may be charged with slandering the Supreme Emperor.

However, Yang Neng still wrote like this, and even Yang Hong didn't stop him. In fact, it was a bet. They were betting that the emperor would not publish this letter.

After all, the Son of Heaven wanted to do what the Yang family did, which was already obvious, although, for the Son of Heaven, he only needed someone to scare the chickens and monkeys.

This object, whether it is the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion or the Changping Marquis Mansion, should be the same.

However, the mind of the emperor is hard to guess after all.

Therefore, Yang Hong needs to have a reason, a reason enough to make the emperor change his mind, and to put Ren Li and death.

It may be enough to assassinate Yu Qian, but Yang Xin's failure to report the matter made the matter more risky.

So, Yang Hong, or someone else in the Yang family, added another dimension!

As soon as this letter came out from Chen Shu, the Yang family had no way out.

To put it more bluntly, this letter from the Chen Dynasty was not used as evidence at all, it was just to tell the emperor that Ren Li was secretly trying to win over the honorable ministers for the emperor, and at the same time, he showed his steadfast support for the emperor.

After seeing this self-report letter, if the Son of Heaven intends to use the Ningyuan Hou Mansion to replace the Changping Hou Mansion and let them go, then he will press this self-report letter, and then cooperate with Yang Hong to promote the confrontation process between the two sides.

And if the Son of Heaven is still unwilling, then the Yang Mansion will be attacked by many dignitaries after the publication of Chen Shu, and even be accused of criticizing the Supreme Emperor.

Rushing all the boats, desperate to retreat, but also, the way to survive the desperate situation!

As a result, the ins and outs of the entire court discussion immediately became transparent in Yu Qian's mind.

However, now is clearly not the time to consider this.

Although this statement cannot be made public as evidence, Yu Qian understood that since the Yang family dared to submit it, there are nine out of ten that this matter is true.

After all, at this moment, if you still dare to deceive the emperor, then the Yang family will really die.

and so……

"Sir, you underestimate the emperor too much!"

Above the imperial steps, the voice of the Son of Heaven resounded faintly, with a rare melancholy in his tone and an indifference that made Yu Qian feel uneasy.

"Sir, I have read these two letters, and I already know the inside information. Then, I would like to ask you, the Supreme Emperor seems to have retreated to the Nangong to take care of his life, but first he secretly summoned the honorable ministers, and then They also obstructed the great government of the court, and what's more, they secretly recruited important officials from the court."

"What does he want to do?"

One sentence hit Yu Qian's heart like a heavy drumstick.

A heavy sigh sounded, and Yu Qian's expression was complicated. He understood that with the emperor's words, the false harmony of the Tian family had been completely torn apart.

What does the emperor want to do?
Yu Qian couldn't speculate, and he didn't want to speculate.

Perhaps, the Supreme Emperor just recalled the old feelings and summoned the ministers, or maybe Ren Li was acting in the name of the Supreme Emperor.

Or maybe, the Supreme Emperor wanted to win over the ministers and compete with the emperor for power in the court, and maybe he would be able to protect himself when the emperor might make things difficult for him.

None of this is impossible.

But, at the same time, Yu Qian also understands that there is another possibility that the Supreme Emperor is not willing to abdicate, let alone spend his life here, and he is secretly planning something to win over these ministers...

What is the truth, except for the Supreme Emperor himself, I am afraid that no one knows.

But one thing is certain.

That is, even if there is such a slight sign, in the eyes of the emperor, it is a great threat.

When it comes to the struggle for imperial power, there is no room for any warmth!

No matter what the Son of Heaven thought before, from this moment on, the Son of Heaven and the Supreme Emperor had already stood on opposite sides.

Opening his mouth, Yu Qian finally made a sound, but found that his voice had become hoarse and dry for some reason.

With the last glimmer of hope in his arms, Yu Qian arrived.

"Your Majesty, after all, today's position has been determined, and the names are different. All the officials in the court are loyal to His Majesty. There is no trouble in the corner of the South Palace. Your Majesty is brave and decisive, and you are in charge of the overall situation. Why..."

"Mr. Yu!"

It was extremely difficult for Yu Qian himself to say these words, and naturally they were not very convincing. Naturally, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor.

After a pause, Zhu Qiyu's voice slowed down, still looking at Yu Qian, with a rare trace of powerlessness and bitterness in his voice, said.

"Sir, you overestimate me!"

Yu Qian raised his head and frowned, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, Zhu Qiyu didn't need him to say anything.

As if feeling a little bored in the room, Zhu Qiyu stood up from the throne, walked slowly to the gate of the palace silently, and stood still under the corridor.

Yu Qian was also silent, but followed closely.

A gust of breeze blew, and the clothes of the two were blown up, followed by the sound of the emperor who had calmed down.

"Sir, do you think that now, I am the son of heaven, holding the power of the world, and everything in the court is in the palm of my hand. On the contrary, the Supreme Emperor lives in the Nangong. Although he is extravagant, he is confined to one side of the world, and his will does not come out of the Nangong. Not going down to court, I and the Supreme Emperor, I am strong, and the Supreme Emperor is weak, the disparity in strength is so great, why is there no fear?"

Yu Qian still didn't speak, because this was obvious.

In today's court, although there are a small group of people jumping around, the emperor is the emperor after all, even if the emperor has any ideas, it is impossible to succeed.

However, after waiting for a while, seeing that the emperor did not continue, Yu Qian had no choice but to consider his words and said.

"Your Majesty, the capital is now stable and stable. There are 26 Shangzhi guards guarding the imperial city inside, and the Jingying army guards outside the palace. Inside and outside the palace, there are still Jinyiwei and Dongchang. They are supervising and monitoring everything. It is safe, but it is still in His Majesty's hands."

In most cases, the weak will be sympathized by bystanders.

The reason is very simple, but it took Zhu Qiyu a long time to figure it out in his previous life.

Between him and the Supreme Emperor, no matter how big a mistake the other party made, no matter whether the other party provoked some things first, as long as they are strong and the other weak in the eyes of outsiders, then they are bullying the weak.

This is Yu Qian's current thinking, in fact, it is also the opinion of most ministers in the court.

The Supreme Emperor was in Nangong, even if he racked his brains and tried all kinds of means, it was nothing more than to win over some ministers. It was amazing that he could command and move the forbidden army in Nangong.

However, in contrast, the Son of Heaven holds 26 Shangzhi guards who are only ordered by the emperor, and can mobilize tens of thousands of Beijing camp troops at any time, plus the two major killers of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it is enough to deal with all accidents.

Under this premise, it is unavoidable that the Son of Heaven would be unreasonable if he overly oppressed and targeted the Supreme Emperor. In the final analysis, the Son of Heaven still got his throne from the Supreme Emperor.

No matter how big a mistake the Supreme Emperor made, it was not against the emperor. It is also the simplest truth to be loved by others.

But is that really the case?
Looking at the empty distance, Zhu Qiyu didn't look back, just said.

"Yu Qian, tell me, if one day I was lingering in a sick bed, unconscious, and all the officials were locked in the palace, the Supreme Emperor came out from the South Palace, was supported by the courtiers, and wanted to restore, what would you do?"

The emperor said this calmly, but Yu Qian turned pale with shock.

He had already expected what the emperor was worried about, but he never thought that the emperor was so pessimistic.

At that moment, Yu Qian prostrated himself on the ground and said.

"Your Majesty, don't think wildly, you are in the prime of life, and the dragon is healthy, so is there any danger?"

"What's more, if the names of the families are determined today, the succession of the throne is orderly, and His Highness the Crown Prince is about to leave the court, how can such an outrageous thing happen?"

"Even if there is an accident, all the officials in the court will be loyal to His Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu still didn't look back, but he obviously expected Qian's reaction.

It seems that there is no answer to this question, but in fact it has been made clear.

There is still an East Palace between him and the Supreme Emperor!
This is also the reason why both the government and the opposition feel that the Son of Heaven and the Supreme Emperor cannot really have an irreconcilable conflict.

After all, in the end, the throne will return to the crown prince. There is no need for the emperor to offend the Supreme Emperor too much, and the Supreme Emperor does not need to do anything in a hurry.

As long as the prince grows up, everything will transition smoothly, which is naturally a good story of brothers and sisters.

However, while the clothes were flying, the voice of the Son of Heaven sounded again, causing Yu Qian to feel a surge of fear and uneasiness in his heart.

The emperor said: "Ruo Ruo, what if I want to abolish the crown prince?"

"His Majesty!"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Qian was shocked, raised his head suddenly, and looked at the emperor in shock.

However, before he could say anything else, the Son of Heaven turned around, pressed his empty hand, and said.

"Mr. Yu, don't worry. I have already said that the prince will not be abolished unless he loses his virtue. There are only you and my monarch and ministers here. If I ask a question casually, you can answer it casually. If the words come out of your mouth, Into my ears, no one else will know."

That being said, but, how can you really not take it to heart?

Yu Qian smiled wryly, seeing the emperor's calm expression, for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't answer this sentence.

Although reason told him that this kind of situation was impossible to happen, but the emperor's expression still made him unable to bear to really put himself in the situation and consider this kind of scene.

The emperor is dying, the crown prince is deposed, the emperor is forced into the palace, and the officials are locked in the palace...

What would he do in this situation?
Seriously bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Yu Qian found sadly that although he didn't want to admit it, if he really got to this point, he already had the answer in his heart about what choice he would make.

So, facing the emperor's calm and profound gaze, Yu Qian closed his eyes, bowed down, and said.

"Sir, you should die for the community!"

Quietly prostrating on the ground, Yu Qian's heart was peaceful, silently waiting for his end, he didn't think about what kind of consequences he would have after he finished speaking, or suffer, at this time, he was no longer I am willing to think about it.

However, the violent storm that Yu Qian expected did not come, what was there was just a sigh that seemed to be there.

"Sir, step back..."

Yu Qian raised his head and saw the Son of Heaven standing with his hands behind his back, facing the gradually slanting sunset, his back was inexplicably desolate and desolate.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just saluted respectfully and said.

"My minister retire."

Yu Qian left, but no one dared to approach the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts.

Wynn stood in the distance, looking at the figure of the emperor Xiao Suo, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

He didn't know what the emperor and Yu Shaobao said alone, but it must not be a happy thing.

Because, since Yu Shaobao left, the emperor has been standing in the distance without moving at all, and it has been half an hour up to now.

It was almost dusk, the setting sun was sinking to the west, the moon was entering the silver hook, and the palace lanterns were already lit up one by one.

Wynn hesitated whether he should come forward to serve him, but his intuition told him that it's best not to act rashly at this time.

After suffering like this for a while, Wynn finally saw the emperor move. The old man turned his body sideways, hiding half of his face under the dim light, and seemed to be muttering something.

It was far away, so Wynn couldn't hear what was said. After two sentences, the emperor's face slowly showed a relieved look, and then walked towards him, so Wynn Hastily greeted him.

At the same time, at the place where the Son of Heaven had just stood, the breeze swept past, blowing away some of the babbling, wrapped in the wind, leaving no traces.

"Yu Qian, Yu Qian, what's the use of you dying?"

"Damn it, it's not you, and it's not me..."
