Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 670 The Vanguard of 'Dangerous'

In the flower hall of the British government, Zhu Yi's voice was firm and her attitude was firm.

However, even so, Jiao Jing still hesitated.

"But……"

However, Zhu Yi seemed to have already made up his mind this time, and he interrupted after hearing only two words.

"It's nothing but, even if our previous guess is wrong, all this is really just a blunder, then, it will never be wrong to help His Highness the Crown Prince get out of the cabinet as soon as possible. I believe that even if the Supreme Emperor knows it, he will not be wrong." Against this..."

That being said, but...

Seeing that everyone was still a little hesitant, Zhu Yi continued to overweight, said.

"If you all feel that it is inappropriate for me to make my own claims, then I can also find someone to send a message to enter Nangong, and ask the Supreme Emperor to allow this matter."

This... everyone couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Cheng Guogong's mansion arranged some people in the Nangong through its own connections, and everyone present knew this.

However, the edict turmoil is too complicated and involves a lot, so if you want to find out, someone must go to the palace in person to verify it with the Supreme Emperor.

After all, this kind of thing can't be explained in one or two sentences.

And more importantly, if Zhu Yi's conjecture is true, then Princess Changde cannot be seen at this time.

Because the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and Princess Changde 'broken', and even Princess Changde turned to the emperor to let Xue Huan leave the capital, in essence, to convince the emperor that the Supreme Emperor had "disbanded".

Then at this time, near the Princess's mansion, there must be manpower from the emperor.

With Dongchang and Jinyiwei around, this is not a difficult task, and the current emperor is definitely not someone who will believe it after the Princess Changde cries in the palace.

The Emperor Taishang couldn't see it, and Princess Changde, although they paid the price and time to find out the news, they could only stand still.

His eyes are darkened, so naturally he can only worry here.

However, although it is not possible to go directly to Nangong to have an audience, if it is just to ask for instructions on whether to help the prince out of the cabinet, then it is much simpler, and only a letter is required.

What's more, as Zhu Yi said, this is a good thing, and the Supreme Emperor has no reason to refuse.

However, vaguely, everyone still felt that something was wrong.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi sighed lightly, as if disappointed by the hesitation of everyone present, after thinking about it, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and said.

"This matter is indeed a bit risky. After all, if our guess is true, then mentioning the crown prince's departure from the cabinet at this time will definitely anger the emperor. However, how can the important matter of the Eastern Palace's state and position storage be ignored?"

"To tell you the truth, I have already written the memorandum, and I would like to invite the crown prince to come out of the pavilion as soon as possible, and prepare guards for the East Palace, and the Pingtung Palace. If you think it is risky, then I will become the Duke of the Kingdom and do it first." This vanguard!"

There was a trace of surprise in the eyes of everyone present, they did not expect that Zhu Yi was already prepared.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Min took the memorial and quickly flipped through it, then his expression changed, he said.

"My lord, this... isn't this a bit radical?"

As soon as these words came out, the curiosity of everyone present became even stronger.

However, Zhang Min quickly handed out the memorials in his hand, first Jiao Jing, Chen Mao, and then Zhu Jian.

After they read it, they all looked a little surprised.

It should be said that the content of Zhu Yi's memorandum can be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Starting with the morning and evening incident in Ding Province, he first praised the prince for his loyalty and filial piety, and for being able to assume the responsibility of the crown prince at a young age.

Then, he naturally talked about the importance of education in the Eastern Palace, and accused the Ministry of Rites of procrastinating and disobeying the holy will, thinking that the most important thing for the country is to save the capital. Willful negligence.

In addition, this memorandum also analyzed in detail the consequences of the prince's delay in leaving the cabinet, from disharmony in the Tian family, instability in social order, to public opinion in the court, and the expectations of the people. If the prince can't leave the pavilion to study immediately, the whole country will be ruined.

The words here are a little bit fierce, but if it's just that, it's not enough to make everyone present show such expressions.

The reason for this is the last part.

As the conclusion of the entire memo, Zhu Yi pointed out without hesitation at the end that the court's top priority now is to determine the time for the crown prince to leave the cabinet as soon as possible.

In addition, although the crown prince is still young, in order to prevent the East Palace from only knowing about literature and military affairs, he should re-select Xunwei to be the vanguard of the army to be the guard of the East Palace.

The avant-garde guard of the government army is one of the 26 guards of Shangzhi.

However, in addition to this, it also has a special identity, that is, the Young Army of the Eastern Palace!

The soldiers and horses of this guard were originally set up by Yongle. From the beginning of its establishment, they were set up for Emperor Xuanzong, who was still the grandson of the emperor at that time. It can be said that he is the direct line of Emperor Xuanzong's direct line.

The significance of this army does not lie in how powerful it is, but in its origin. Except for ordinary sergeants, all officers are from noble families.

So in fact, the purpose of Emperor Taizong's establishment of this army was to allow Emperor Xuanzong to gain good contacts among the nobles in advance and stabilize the status of the emperor's grandson.

Facts have proved that this young army has indeed played its due role.

After the death of Emperor Taizong, in just over a year, the court situation underwent major changes one after another. First, Renzong died soon after, then Xuanzong ascended the throne, and soon there was the Hanwang Rebellion, and Xuanzong's imperial conquest.

If it was another dynasty, such intensive turmoil would inevitably seriously damage the vitality of the court.

However, it was thanks to the good relationship and prestige that Emperor Xuanzong had established with the young army and the entire honorable military officials since the Yongle period that the entire court quickly stabilized during that time.

Afterwards, many of the juniors in the young army also became effective generals in the army, and also became an important force for Emperor Xuanzong to quell the chaos of the King of Han and patrol the border.

Later, after the Supreme Emperor was established as the crown prince, he also logically obtained the right to form a small army. Of course, it was only the right to select and practice, but not the right to mobilize.

But even so, it is enough. After all, the duty of the young army is at most to guard the palace, and there is no need to actually go to the battlefield. Its political significance is greater than its practical significance.

However, at that time, the Supreme Emperor was still young, so the young army did not play a real role. Later, after the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he was in power, and he could directly show kindness to the nobles, so there was no need to use the young army to win over the nobles. children.

Therefore, it should be said that since Xuande, the young army has gradually become abolished, and it has become a gold-plated place for noble children.

However, that is because of the special circumstances after all.

If Zhan Shifu is the political power of the Eastern Palace among the civil servants, then the selection and training of the young army is to allow the prince to accumulate prestige among the nobles and become familiar with military affairs.

It's just that Zhan Shifu was written in the classics since the founding of the Taizu, and existed as a necessary part of the education of the East Palace.

The avant-garde guards of the government army still belong to the Shangzhiwei in essence. Although they have the name of the young army, there is no clear rule in the classics, and they must be in charge of the East Palace.

In addition, the crown prince is still young and just enlightened, so naturally no one in the court mentioned this matter.

Of course, in addition to this, there are ministers in the court who think that it is not a good thing for the prince to be in charge of training the young army.

The most typical reason is that the Young Army was set up for Xuanzong, so Emperor Renzong did not intervene, so Emperor Renzong favored Wenzhi. Later, the prototype of patrolling the border.

In the future, although the Supreme Emperor did not have the long-term running-in with the young army like Xuanzong, but with the young army around, he would naturally get closer to Xungui, and the aggressiveness of the personal conquest was obviously inseparable from Xungui.

On the other hand, today's emperor has no experience in training young troops, but he still does a very good job.

Therefore, many ministers in the court felt that the prince's choice of training young troops would lead to overemphasis on martial arts, and in times of peace, it would be easy to cause troubles such as civil engineering battles.

Coupled with the long-standing disputes between civil servants and nobles, the matter of the young army was almost shelved by default in the court.

However, there is no doubt that once the selection of the young army starts again, it must be a great thing for today's nobles.

Even if the future relationship with His Royal Highness is not mentioned, as long as there is this level of qualifications, then the children of their clan can quickly expand their contacts and gain a place in the army in the future.

A noble title is not enough for an aristocratic family. In addition to top-level power, a family family must have a sufficient number of middle- and low-level powers to be stable enough.

The reason why the British government can still stand after Zhang Fu's death, while most of the other honorable families are slumped after the civil engineering works, is simply because, when Zhang Fu was alive, there were countless subordinates and old generals.

These people are scattered in the military mansion, the Beijing camp, the frontier army, etc. They may not show up at ordinary times, but if the British government needs anything, just say hello and they will try their best to help.

Even if this cannot be achieved, once something happens to the British government, they will never stand by and watch because of Zhang Fu's face and friendship.

This is the core reason why the British government can still sit firmly on the top spot of the honorary family after Zhang Fu and even Zhang Fu died one after another.

This principle is naturally also applicable to other nobles from aristocratic families.

Although it is said that the nobles are rich and rich, but they enjoy the best resources and the most convenient conditions, who can really fail to pick out a few young people who can take the lead?

Therefore, if the young army can really be reorganized, then it will be a good thing for the entire Xungui Group.

But having said that, this matter is not easy to handle.

It is not difficult for the noble children to enter the Forbidden Army, but now the Shangzhiwei is held in the hands of the emperor, sending his own children in is no different from sending a hostage in, this is not what they want .

What's more, they send people in because they want to be gilded, but, as one can imagine, with the relationship between the emperor and Xungui, it's impossible to get out after sending them in.

Therefore, only when the young army is in the hands of the prince, they will be willing to send their own children in.

However, the emperor now made it clear that he was afraid of the Supreme Emperor. On the side of the East Palace, he had repeatedly delayed even leaving the pavilion to study, let alone forming a young army.

In addition, there are also those civil servants who will definitely jump out to oppose it, so it is even more difficult to accomplish this matter.

Therefore, everyone present did not think about this from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Yi made a move, she even brought up the matter of leaving the cabinet to form a young army. This little prince, don't be stimulated by something?

Zhang Min also seemed to hesitate a bit, and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, I believe we all have seen the sincerity of Cheng Guogong's government towards His Highness the Crown Prince. It is true that the Donggong Palace is the most important thing now. However, the so-called young army can't be a fat man, isn't it a bit strange to bring it up now?" Too risky?"

Seeing Zhu Yi's resolute look, Zhang Erye couldn't help but feel a little guilty, this is not the same as what he said...

Obviously what they said before was that with the help of Zhu Yi's father-in-law, they got the credit for helping the prince get out of the cabinet, and then took the opportunity of the East Palace to get out of the cabinet to restore the title of Duke Cheng.

How did you play so big in a blink of an eye...

Others naturally didn't know Zhang Min's thoughts, but their thoughts were similar when it came to the young army.

In other words, this is actually a sequela left over from the long-term struggle with the emperor.

Since the Son of Heaven came to the throne, they have planned many things and used various methods. It cannot be said that they have not succeeded, but it is certain that they lose more and win less.

Moreover, whenever their plans were somewhat radical, almost without exception, they all lost miserably.

From the time when Luo Tong went to Que, to Zhang Fu's envoy, the Zhennan King case, to Prince Bei's mansion, to Ren Li's arrest and imprisonment, everything was like this.

Therefore, although they didn't realize it themselves, it was inevitable that they were already afraid of the emperor's methods in their hearts, and they subconsciously felt that it was better to be safe.

Therefore, after looking at each other with Chen Mao and others, Jiao Jing also said.

"My lord, what happened today is my fault. I shouldn't have been dishonest to my lord, and I should have tried more. However, if my lord wants to prove his heart with this, it is absolutely unnecessary."

"At the beginning, when the Supreme Emperor summoned us, he said that Chengguo's mansion is the pillar of the country. Now that he is a Marquis, Concubine Xue has been arrested one after another and transferred from the capital. We should unite with sincerity. If something happens to Cheng Guogong's mansion, the gain will outweigh the loss!"

These words are sincere, no matter what you think in your heart, but at least the attitude is very low, and it sounds comfortable.

Zhu Yi glanced at Jiao Jing, then looked around the crowd for a week, then sighed and said.

"Everyone, I know that you feel that the matter of the crown prince leaving the cabinet has not yet come to fruition, and it may be difficult to mention the matter of the young army."

"However, what I want to say is..."

Following these words, Zhu Yi paused, and simply stood up from the chair, her voice raised a little, and said.

"Before the court meeting, what Marquis Ren said was selfish, but it was not completely unreasonable. Since the imperial court wants to rectify the army, it is impossible not to pay a price."

"The reason why Marquis Ren is in the current situation is because he went in the wrong direction, but whether it is the crown prince leaving the cabinet or forming a young army, it is a matter of fairness and justice, and it should be done!"

"So, now is precisely the best opportunity to propose the formation of a small army. If you miss it, it will be really difficult in the future."

"I still say the same thing, I am the Duke of Cheng, and I am willing to be the vanguard. If something goes wrong, the Duke of Cheng dare not say that it can bear the full responsibility, but at least it will be the first to bear the brunt."

"So everyone, who is willing to take the risk of becoming a government with me?"
