Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 691 is another chapter with no progress

Undoubtedly, from Zhu Yi's real point of view, he must feel that the more the Supreme Emperor disappears in the court hall, the better. For large-scale ceremonies like Spring Hunting, the Supreme Emperor should not appear unless he can.

He believes that this is what the emperor wants.

After all, since the Supreme Emperor returned to the court, the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Nangong has been very cold. This kind of thing that makes the Supreme Emperor show his presence is naturally avoided if possible.

And, more importantly, in the deepest part of Zhu Yi's heart, there has always been a secret hidden.

That is, he has a bit of resentment towards the Supreme Emperor.

Everyone in the world complained that Zhu Yong was controlled by the eunuch who supervised the army during the Battle of Yaoerling, and underestimated the enemy, so that the army failed to retreat in time, causing civil disasters.

However, no one thought about it from Zhu Yi's perspective.

His father, the majestic Cheng Guogong, once followed Taizong to conquer Mongolia in the north, and assisted the first emperor to quell the rebellion of the Han Dynasty. From Yongle to Xuande, he also galloped northward, often township frontier fortresses.

Such a leader of the country who had made great contributions to the imperial court, but in the end, he couldn't even control the army he led, and was coerced by a eunuch who was so successful. Not only was he defeated and died, but he even lost his reputation for the rest of his life. go in.

How could Zhu Yi not hate this?

From then on, when the world mentions Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng, they will not remember how many victories he has won, nor how many contributions he has made for the country. What will be branded on him will only be a rash advance underestimating the enemy, making the Holy Lord dusty reputation.

And all of this stems from the emperor's indulgence of eunuchs.

If it weren't for the supreme emperor's unfailing trust in Wang Zhen, the army would not have gone out at all, and Zhu Yong would not have been forced here by a mere eunuch.

Therefore, even after the news came back to Beijing, the whole court, including the emperor, had a cold attitude towards Cheng Guogong's mansion, and even made things difficult everywhere, Zhu Yi just ran around silently, without any complaints.

As a general, if you lose a battle, you should be scolded!
This is the truth his father taught him since he was a child. No matter what the reason is, if he is defeated, he will be punished. There is nothing to say about it.

However, the one thing that Zhu Yi always had in his heart was that this battle could have been undefeated. How could his father have been on the battlefield for many years, so how could he not even have this basic vigilance?

It was simply because, since the time when the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, the government of the United Kingdom had been favored and trusted. Although the government of Chengguo was also a top-notch dignitary, what he hosted was nothing more than sutra feasts and sacrifices to the heavens.

Therefore, in front of the Supreme Emperor, his old man's words were not as useful as a trusted eunuch of Wang Zhen.

This resentment stems from civil disasters, but it is not entirely due to civil disasters.

But no matter what, it really exists, especially recently, with the reunification of Duke Cheng's mansion in sight, and after the big stone in Zhu Yi's heart gradually fell to the ground, all kinds of emotions that he had been suppressing before slowly emerged. up.

However, Zhu Yi knew in his heart that this resentment could only be buried in the bottom of his heart forever, pressed to the deepest part, and could not be revealed to anyone, even the emperor who also hated the Supreme Emperor.

That's right, Zhu Yi is sure that there is also a resentment towards the Supreme Emperor hidden in the heart of the emperor!

Most of the people in the government and the opposition are subconsciously aware that the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Nangong is only superficially harmonious, but secretly no one wants to see each other. This matter is even an open secret among the high-level officials.

However, almost everyone attributed this to the struggle for the throne, and it was attributed to the emperor's fear that the Supreme Emperor would have plans for the throne.

Only Zhu Yi didn't think so, he didn't have much contact with the emperor.

But from the first time he saw the Son of Heaven, he had a faint feeling in his heart that the Son of Heaven, like him, harbored resentment towards the Supreme Emperor.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, and he couldn't even figure out where the resentment in the emperor's heart came from, but he just felt it.

This feeling is very strange, perhaps, only he, who also harbors resentment towards the Supreme Emperor, can feel it vaguely.

In fact, Zhu Yi once wondered if she felt wrong because of this. After all, in the eyes of the government and the public, the reason why the emperor was able to ascend the throne was completely a coincidence.

Although it is not very good to say this, in fact, in the hearts of many ministers, they actually feel that the emperor should be grateful to the Supreme Emperor.

If the Supreme Emperor hadn't been deeply trapped in the North, the Son of Heaven would have no hope of assuming the throne. From the perspective of the country, the Civil War was a heart-wrenching catastrophe, but for the Son of Heaven, it was indeed a complete disaster. A chance to change your destiny.

Although the result of this matter was not the original intention of the Supreme Emperor, but to receive a favor is to receive a favor, which is also the reason why all the officials in the court have always felt that the emperor should take the initiative to welcome the Supreme Emperor back and treat him with more courtesy.

So Zhu Yi often doubted her own feelings, until when the Supreme Emperor returned to the court, the brothers met in the wind and snow, Zhu Yi was in charge of the guard at that time, standing at the side of the emperor, at that time he clearly saw the indifference in the eyes of the emperor, Only then did I reconfirm my feeling.

Therefore, only Zhu Yi knew that the reason why he was willing to abandon his noble pride and become such a duplicitous person was not just for the title of title.

More importantly, he hopes to see the Taishanghuang be punished for his mistakes. He hopes to see the Taishanghuang regret for what he has done for the rest of his life.

But even so, what Zhu Yi knew in his heart was that he could only keep this secret deep in his heart forever.

Because, his thinking itself is suspected of treason.

The Supreme Emperor is the king, and the king is to his ministers, thunder, rain, and dew are all blessings, so Zhu Yong can only be wrong, and he can only underestimate the enemy and rush forward.

Even, in front of the emperor, he couldn't reveal his emotions.

Because in a sense, he is committing crimes against the superior, and the superior is now the emperor. If he has such thoughts about the emperor today, it is hard to guarantee that he will not resent the emperor because of the emperor's treatment of him tomorrow.

Although Zhu Yi felt that she would not do it, exposing herself to such a dangerous situation was an extremely politically immature approach, so naturally, Young Master Zhu would not do it.

Therefore, his true thoughts and attitudes must not be exposed in front of Hu Wei.

Then, from the perspective of a henchman of the Supreme Emperor, his attitude should naturally be.

"The Spring Hunt is a grand ceremony of the country. Since the Supreme Emperor has returned to Beijing, he should also show up at the Spring Hunt. What's more, Yuezhang also said just now that the purpose of this Spring Hunt is to show my strength to the Oirat Mission."

"Since that's the case, let them know that my Ming Dynasty is not only outstanding in martial arts, strong in soldiers and strong in horses, but also the whole court is united as one, the family is in harmony, the world is home to one's heart, a scene of prosperity and prosperity!"
