Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 695

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhu Jian arrived at the cabinet early, which surprised all the Zhongshushe people who were cleaning the public house.

You know, since the sub-subsidiary dispute was announced years ago, the bosses of the cabinet have returned to their normal rhythm from the endless involution.

What's more, I don't know if it's because of the consequences of working too "seriously" some time ago, the bosses are basically picking up the office, and occasionally they are late.

As for Zhu Jian, it is even more so.

In that court meeting, he could be said to have fought chicken and egg. Not only did he fail to push Yu Shiyue from the position of second assistant, he even failed to win the position of Zhan Shi in the Prince's Mansion.

If it's just that, it's fine, and what's worse, he lost his wife and lost his army, and even ruined his own reputation by the way.

Nowadays, among the scholars, the reputation of him has become that he is a villain who wants to gain power, fights for power and profit, climbs up for himself, and does not hesitate to stir up disputes among the heavenly family.

If it weren't for his fact that he was sent to Wala to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, he might not even be able to keep his position as a cabinet minister.

Under such circumstances, the most sensible course of action is naturally to work honestly, keep your head out of the way, and try your best to reduce your sense of existence.

People in the court have very poor memory, especially during this period of time, when various major events came one after another, Zhu Jian believes that no one will mention this matter soon.

Therefore, during this period of time, Zhu Jian has always been very low-key, basically in line with other cabinet ministers in everything, and when encountering disputes in cabinet meetings, he mostly follows the trend like Jiang Yuan.

But today is different. According to the agreed time, if nothing unexpected happens, at the latest today, Zhu Yi will submit the memorial to invite the East Palace to leave the pavilion early.

Don't look at Zhu Jian who questioned Zhu Yi in many ways when he was in the British government, but from the bottom of his heart, he actually supported this matter.

Because this is a good opportunity for him!

The reason why he is in this state is that he lost his reputation in the matter of the East Palace. If so, he will earn it back in the matter of the East Palace.

It is conceivable that the emperor will definitely be displeased when this memorandum is handed over, especially the matter of the young army.

At this time, it was time for Zhu Jian to appear on the stage.

He wanted to prove to the entire court that he didn't let Donggong out of the cabinet for the sake of the so-called power, as rumored, but for the sake of the country.

In other words, this time, Mr. Zhu is ready to be relegated even for contradicting the emperor, as long as his reputation can be restored, then everything will be worth it!

After entering his private room, Zhu Jian did not sit down in a hurry, but stood by the window, looking in the direction of the palace gate from afar.

Sure enough, after a while, the junior official of the General Administration Department came towards the cabinet with a stack of memorials, so Zhu Jian immediately called the Zhongshusheren outside and said.

"Today, the old man came early, so go and get the memorandum just sent by the Secretary of the General Administration, and bring it to the old man."

"This……"

After the Zhongshusheren heard it, he was surprised at first, and then hesitated, said.

"Ge Lao, I'm afraid this is against the rules!"

In the cabinet, apart from the Grand Scholars, there are Zhongshu Scheeren. Compared with the customization of the Grand Scholars, the number of Zhongshu Scheeren is not fixed, and it depends entirely on the needs of the Grand Scholars.

But at the most basic level, each bachelor will have at least one Zhongshu Sheren who is responsible for handling various affairs. In addition, there are ordinary Scheeren who are responsible for drafting edicts, transcriptions and other affairs.

Among these Scholars, there is a very special existence, that is, the Zhongshu Scheeren who belongs to the first assistant. The difference between him and other Scholars is that he holds a certain degree of vote-sharing power in the hands of this Scholars.

All cabinet bachelors have the right to vote, but what kind of memorials and affairs they can get depends on the intention of the chief assistant.

However, the imperial court had a lot of affairs, and Shoufu himself was too busy. Therefore, the memorials sent by the General Secretary every day would be simply classified by Zhongshu Sheren who was affiliated with Shoufu.

According to different affairs, after the sorting is completed, it will be sent to different Grand Scholars for ticket drafting.

Of course, those who were assigned by the Zhongshu Sheren were all trivial matters, real major and sensitive matters, and the Zhongshu Sheren would keep them and ask the chief assistant for instructions before they were assigned.

And this is why Zhu Jian came before everyone else.

During this period of time, Mr. Zhu Ge was very excluded in the cabinet, and he basically dealt with local and insignificant memorials, but any important memorials, even if they were sent to Zhang Min and Jiang Yuan, they would not send it to him.

If he came late, such a major matter involving the East Palace would probably be sent to the first assistant or second assistant's public house immediately.

"There is nothing against the rules. The old man told you to go, so you just go."

Zhu Jian frowned and said.

In fact, if he hadn't been too deliberate in the past, Zhu Jian even wanted to run over and ask for it.

But even so, after thinking about it, he took out his seal from his sleeve and said.

"You just say that the old man wants it. When the time comes, Mr. Chief Assistant will blame you, and the old man will take care of it."

"Yes……"

Therefore, the Zhongshushe talent took the seal anxiously, and then hurriedly turned it out.

Although they both serve in the cabinet, the status of a scholar and a member of Zhongshushe is very different after all. Even if Zhu Jian is no longer popular, he is still a serious second-rank senior official. I can't come here.

So, when seeing Zhongshu Sheren walking towards his public house with a stack of memorials, Mr. Zhu Ge finally felt relieved.

Sitting down behind the table, Zhu Jian almost eagerly waited for the pile of memorials to come in.

Finally, nothing happened, and Zuo Shuan arrived at his case safely. Zhu Jian immediately got busy, picked up a book and quickly flipped through it, and saw that it was not what he wanted, so he put it down and read it again. next one.

This behavior made the Zhongshu Sheren on the side stunned. Let's just say, Mr. Ge, are you really dealing with government affairs?

Why does it look like it's looking for something?
However, at this moment, Zhu Jian can no longer control so much, and the time for the General Secretary to deliver the memorials every day will not be too early. At this point in time, it is still a sequela of the introversion of the cabinet ministers some time ago.

At most one more stick of incense will pass, and the other cabinet ministers will arrive one after another. He must find this memorial before the others arrive.

The hard work paid off, and as expected, after reading nearly half of the memorials, Mr. Zhu Ge finally got his wish and saw the one he wanted.

Pressing his turbulent mood, Mr. Zhu Ge still didn't get too impulsive. He first read the memorial carefully to make sure that the content in it was indeed what Zhu Yi said in the British government, and there were no major changes.

Especially after seeing the last line of honorable joint names and Hu Wei's seal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up at the time, Mr. Zhu Ge didn't hesitate much, he took a pen and ink, and carefully wrote down the conclusion he had prepared long ago on the receipt.

"...The reserve position of the Eastern Palace was determined early, but due to the cumbersome etiquette, the ceremony of leaving the cabinet was delayed, and the officials and young army of the Eastern Palace were not ready. The hope of the ministers, the hope of all the people, everything is ready now, it is not appropriate to continue to delay, it should be decided early..."

After finishing writing the neat lower case letters of the pavilion, Zhu Jian blew on the ink, carefully pasted the small note on the memorandum, then exhaled lightly, and summoned the Zhongshu Sheren from outside, and said.

"Go and pass the sign into the palace, the old man has something important to ask to see His Majesty!"
