Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 668 Flick, then flick~
Ren Li's matter was temporarily exposed, and Zhu Yi's doubts were temporarily calmed down. However, after all, these people present have been in the court for many years, so it is unknown what is going on in their hearts. .

However, in any case, it finally started a serious topic.

It should be said that under the current situation, the biggest problem they have encountered with the Supreme Emperor's party is that they cannot meet with the Supreme Emperor.

Although someone can pass the message in the middle, many things cannot be solved by letters or words.

For example, in this incident, Nangong and the emperor fought for no reason. Until now, they don't know why the Supreme Emperor suddenly summoned Xue Huan so impulsively.

Of course, although objectively speaking, the Supreme Emperor and them are in a relationship of mutual dependence, after all, there is a status as a monarch and minister, and there is no need to greet or explain to them in advance what the Supreme Emperor will do.

But in this way, they will become very passive.

Xue Huan's status among them is not particularly important, and he doesn't participate in discussions and decision-making very often, but his existence itself is the biggest role.

Like Zhu Yi, Xue Huan came from a pure aristocratic family. Although he did not have such a prominent family background as Duke Cheng's, the biggest advantage of being born in such a family is that he has a wide network of contacts.

Veteran nobles such as Chen Mao and Ren Li have status, military exploits, and qualifications. However, they have spent most of their lives fighting in the north and south. Comparable to the native Xue Huan.

Especially in the current situation that the nobles are facing, most of the nobles of the older generation were lost in the civil engineering battle, and the new ones are all younger generations. Although the friendship between the various mansions is still there, but let It is also difficult for elders like Chen Mao and Zhang Min to interact with these younger generations on an equal footing.

But Xue Huan and Zhu Yi are different, they grew up in the circle of aristocratic families, and they have a lot of friendship with these people, and it is much more convenient to talk and do things.

Moreover, Xue Huan is the captain's son-in-law, a relative of the emperor, in other words, it is much more convenient for him to enter and leave the palace than everyone present.

Now Princess Changde has made it clear that she doesn't want to get involved in this matter, but as long as she is there, Xue Huan can have legitimate reasons to enter the palace at any time.

This is also a point that has been easily overlooked for a long time, that is, although the Supreme Emperor has returned to Beijing, the Holy Mother and the Empress Dowager have basically withdrawn from the field of vision of the officials.

However, her old man's existence itself is like a pinnacle of Dinghai.

The Supreme Emperor lived in the Nangong, and he had already issued an edict not to participate in the court affairs, and was secretly monitored. Moreover, although it was a bit offensive to say so, the civil war was indeed a thorn in the hearts of the officials.

Therefore, what the Supreme Emperor wants to do is actually not easy.

But the Holy Mother is different from the old man. It is still the same sentence. If today is the person who turned the tide and saved the building from falling, then at least half of the credit belongs to Queen Mother Sun.

Regardless of whether she was willing or not, what she thought in her heart, but in the end, the final decision she made was to order the successor of King Tan to take charge of the overall situation, and at the most critical moment, she completed a smooth transition of power.

If it is said that at the critical moment after the Civil War, Empress Dowager Sun held power and was unwilling to hand it over, then no one could do anything about it.

Moreover, this kind of decision is not as simple as a simple statement. It should be said that because of the support of the Empress Dowager Sun, the emperor's ascension to the throne has a real etiquette basis.

This point was fully reflected in the original enthronement edict.

"...The empress dowager, who was young as the prince, was unable to manage all the opportunities, so she ordered her to rule the world..."

This sentence was clearly written in the enthronement edict. If the emperor was ordered in danger at that time, then the order he received was the "order" of the Queen Mother.

In the absence of a formal enthronement edict, it can be said that the seal of the empress dowager on the enthronement edict is the most effective source of legal principles for the emperor.

Although now, after the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing, he has once again announced the official Zen edict to the world.

However, the contribution of the Empress Dowager to stabilize the political situation and support the new monarch at the critical moment cannot be denied.

Therefore, in a sense, if Queen Mother Sun is willing to speak, her influence on the court situation will not be small. At least, when the focus is on a specific court affairs, as long as she is willing to Intervene, then the emperor and courtiers will give this face.

Xue Huan, as Princess Changde's son-in-law, although he cannot enter and leave the Nangong Palace, he is fully capable and can enter the palace to see the Queen Mother at any time.

This kind of role will not be highlighted in normal times, but it will become crucial in case of any emergency.

But now, Xue Huan was sent to Nanjing, so this way was cut off.

In such a short period of time, Ren Li was imprisoned and Xue Huan was sent out of Beijing. First, the court lost the most important manpower, and then they lost contact with the palace. It is inevitable that Jiao Jing and others feel anxious thing.

After Zhang Min's words fell, everyone present frowned. It has to be said that this move of the Supreme Emperor was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Didn't you agree to keep a low profile?Why is it that all of a sudden, he issued an edict openly and aboveboard to call the ministers into the palace?

Moreover, it was fine to call the ministers into the palace, but Xue Huan was stopped outside the palace, and the Supreme Emperor was furious, and turned against the emperor.

Now, this one in Qianqing Palace is not easy to get along with, no, an edict sent the prince of the East Palace to act on behalf of the emperor in the morning and evening.

Although I knew I shouldn't say that, but almost everyone present couldn't help but slander when they heard the news, the emperor was too impulsive...

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Yi pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Everyone, from my point of view, the matter of Concubine Xue is probably just an appearance, and the Supreme Emperor's sudden move may have other deep meanings."

This was a little surprising, so Zhu Jian asked.

"It seems that the little prince has gained something?"

Zhu Yi nodded, frowning slightly, and said with some uncertainty in her tone.

"There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it straight. Although it's not the job of a courtier to speculate on Tianxin without authorization, but now that I can't meet the Supreme Emperor, I can only speculate tentatively."

"I believe everyone can see what happened in the past few days, so I won't go into details. On the surface, it seems that the Supreme Emperor was angered by Xue Huan's incident, so he took a fit of anger to attack Qianqing Palace."

"However, I feel that the Taishanghuang is a drunkard who doesn't want to drink!"

While talking, Zhu Yi raised her head and asked everyone.

"Everyone, the Taishanghuang and today's emperor are direct brothers, so, in terms of understanding of the emperor, the Taishanghuang must be better than me."

"Since this is the case, the Supreme Emperor should know that there is nothing that can be done against the Son of Heaven. Moreover, judging from the performance of the Son of Heaven after the Supreme Emperor returned, he will not go to Nangong in person to observe the morning and evening according to the law."

"Since he knew it couldn't be done, why did the Supreme Emperor issue this edict? Moreover, it was written on paper instead of a verbal order, ordering Eunuch Ruan to go to the Qianqing Palace to proclaim the edict in person. Doesn't the Supreme Emperor know that this is the case? You can't hide the news at all, will it be known to the whole court in just one night?"

"In this case, if the emperor still refuses to obey the imperial edict, wouldn't the Supreme Emperor lose face?"

"Therefore, I venture to guess that the edict of the Supreme Emperor may seem absurd, but in fact it has a deeper meaning."

After the dispute just now, everyone thought that Zhu Yi would keep a low profile, but they didn't expect him to be the first person to speak.

Moreover, the analysis of these words is very in place, and it is obviously not a temporary intention.

Among the people present, Chen Mao had been in contact with the Supreme Emperor for the longest time. He often went to the palace to see him a long time ago, so he knew the Supreme Emperor well.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he hesitated to ask.

"My lord, do you think it's possible that the Supreme Emperor just acted impulsively because Xue Huan didn't enter the palace?"

What he said was actually a bit presumptuous, but, as Zhu Yi said, there were no outsiders present, so Chen Mao naturally spoke less considerately.

Hearing this, Zhu Yi pondered for a moment, shook her head, and said.

"What Chen Shibo said is not impossible, but don't forget that today's Supreme Emperor is no longer the Supreme Emperor of the past."

Seeing Chen Mao's slightly puzzled expression, Zhu Yi sighed and said.

"Perhaps before, the Supreme Emperor acted impulsively. However, even though he had been scruples all the time in Wala for a year, he could be safe and sound in the enemy camp, and even let Boyan Tie, one of the enemy chieftains Mu'er is willing to defend the Supreme Emperor to the death, but Shi Bo still thinks that the Supreme Emperor is the same as before?"

Chen Mao fell silent, and what he said was not unreasonable.

It is true that he had the most contact with Zhu Qizhen, but the Zhu Qizhen he contacted was the Zhu Qizhen before the personal conquest. By the time the personal conquest started, Chen Mao had already left the capital to quell the rebellion.

Therefore, when Zhu Yi said this, he really felt that he underestimated the emperor a little bit.

However, he certainly wouldn't trust Zhu Yi so easily, because he hadn't dealt with the Supreme Emperor after Wala's return, but there were people present who had dealt with him.

Turning his body sideways, Chen Mao asked Zhu Jian.

"Old Zhuge, you have been sent to Wala twice, from what you see, what does the Supreme Emperor mean by this move?"

It should be said that Zhu Jian's reputation in the court has declined sharply since the failure to promote the prince's preparation of the mansion. In the cabinet, he was also deeply excluded and almost became a little transparent.

However, in the face of such a scene, Zhu Jian seemed to have calmed down, going to the government office step by step every day, dealing with government affairs, and ignoring the cynicism of some people.

As a result, the discussions about him really gradually disappeared.

As the person present who had the most contact with the Supreme Emperor after Beishouwala, Zhu Jian did have the most say in this matter.

However, the matter was so important that he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, and after pondering for a moment, he said cautiously.

"I don't dare to say anything else, but when I was in Oala, the Supreme Emperor was indeed very careful in his every move. During the negotiation with Yexian and others, there were indeed many Oirat nobles who liked the Supreme Emperor. Your Majesty treats each other, and every time he sees him, he pays homage to him, which is extremely respectful."

"However, it is difficult to say whether the Supreme Emperor has other deep meanings in this matter. After all, the Supreme Emperor has already returned to the capital, and Princess Changde refused to let Concubine Xue enter the palace for an audience. Perhaps the Supreme Emperor was furious for a while, and his behavior was not appropriate. We can see."

Well, it’s the same as not saying this!
However, it is still useful in the end, at least it proves that the Supreme Emperor has grown up during his year in Wala.

So, Chen Mao had no choice but to turn back and ask Zhu Yi.

"Since this is the case, what does the young man think, what is the intention of the Supreme Emperor's move?"

Zhu Yi scanned the crowd around, seeing their dubious expressions, she had already expected it in her heart.

In fact, he didn't expect these people to be convinced of what he said. After all, the performance of the Supreme Emperor this time was really unsatisfactory.

But it doesn't matter, as long as they are not completely unbelieving, he has achieved his goal.

Exhaling lightly, Zhu Yi continued to speak.

"I don't know exactly what the Supreme Emperor planned, and I don't dare to speculate. However, if you cut out everything in the middle of the whole thing and only look at the beginning and the result, isn't it obvious?"

At first it naturally referred to the Supreme Emperor summoning Xue Huan, as for the result...

The Supreme Emperor issued an edict ordering the Son of Heaven to settle down in the morning and evening. As a result, the Son of Heaven turned his back and let the Prince go.

Could it be that Zhu Yi just wanted to say that the Supreme Emperor himself would make himself angry?
Everyone frowned, but Zhu Jian's expression was a little bit uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he asked with some uncertainty.

"Young Master, you mean...His Royal Highness?"

Zhu Yi nodded lightly, smiled, and said.

"It seems that Mr. Zhu Ge has also heard the wind..."

The conversation between the two made everyone confused, so they all turned their eyes to Zhu Jian, wanting to get an explanation.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhu Jian hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"To tell you the truth, before I came here today, I heard a lot of gossip in the cabinet, most of which were talking about the Supreme Emperor, but there were also quite a few who praised His Royal Highness for his pure filial piety and benevolence. He knows how to behave at a young age. Great righteousness, loyalty to the emperor and respect to the father, can be set as an example for all people."

"I didn't think anything at first, but, thinking about what the young master said just now, if the Supreme Emperor's move really has other meanings, then, purely in terms of the result, it is more like building momentum for His Royal Highness..."

This causal relationship sounds unreliable, but, as Zhu Yi said just now, no matter how outrageous the causal relationship is, the facts are right in front of you.

The Supreme Emperor's reputation was indeed damaged because of this incident, but the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace won a lot of praise for it. If this was really planned long ago, it might not be a good deal.

Seeing everyone's pensive expressions, Zhu Yi said again.

"Speaking of which, don't you all feel that the actions of Princess Changde in this incident are also a little strange?"

　One more thing, the enthronement edict is the original text of the extracted historical materials~
