Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 704
Sensing the gazes cast by other people almost at the same time, Zhu Jian also sighed in his heart.

Of course he knew that doing so would arouse suspicion, but the lesser of two evils, if he just accepted the result in front of him, it would be impossible to explain it when he returned to the British government.

However, the proposal to call Zhu Yi and Hu Wei into the palace, combined with his move to the cabinet early today, although it is possible for people to guess that he and Zhu Yi secretly got along with each other, is still suspicious after all.

Moreover, even if the courtiers have seen this clearly, they are nothing more than putting him on the side of the Supreme Emperor just like the British government and the Chengguo government.

Although there are disadvantages in doing so, it is still acceptable. Besides, once this matter is done, the emperor will definitely know his position.

That being the case, it doesn't matter if other people know or not. Although there was a turmoil of abdication before, it is clear to everyone in the court that the emperor's legal throne actually comes from the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, in fact, the lineage of the Supreme Emperor is the orthodox of the Tian family. This is beyond doubt, and the court will not criticize him just because he speaks for the Supreme Emperor.

Compared with this point, it may be more dissatisfied with civil servants to join forces with nobles, but there is at least an explanation for saving money and contributing to the front.

Therefore, under balance, Mr. Zhu Ge still spoke out. Although he felt that the emperor's promise might not be too big, at least he had made an effort. In this way, when he returned to Zhu Yi and others, he also had something to say. Say.

However, to Zhu Jian's surprise, upon hearing this, the Son of Heaven pondered, and after a while, the old man's face regained his usual composure, and he spoke.

"What Mr. said is reasonable. It involves the East Palace, so don't be careless. The pros and cons of this matter should be discussed clearly before we deal with it."

"Wynn?"

"The servant is here!"

Under the surprised gazes of all the ministers, the emperor said.

"Pass the decree, call Hu Wei, Minister of Rites, and Zhu Yi, the escorting general... There are six other ministers, Chen Yi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Li Xian, Duke of Feng, Fan Guang, Bo of Jing'an, and Yang Hong, Marquis of Changping, to meet with him."

???

Looking at the smiling face of the emperor, Mr. Zhu Ge suddenly had an ominous premonition. He seemed to have fallen into the pit dug by the emperor again!
Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the emperor's eyes had turned back, and he took a step ahead and asked with a warm face.

"Gentlemen, this matter is very important. Apart from involving the Ministry of Rites and Zhu Yi, it is also a matter related to the court of Sheji. Therefore, I don't think it should be decided arbitrarily. It is better to call the important officials of the court to discuss it. What do you think?"

Ah this...

All the people in the cabinet looked at each other, looking at the back of Wynn leaving in a hurry, they couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

Are you really asking for our opinion, Your Majesty?

Then why Eunuch Wynn has gone to announce the decree? !
In desperation, everyone could only say in unison whether they wanted to or not.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

At the same time, in everyone's hearts, a new layer of attention was placed on this matter.

The emperor's personality has always been stable, although this kind of small rogue means can sometimes be used, but it is often when the emperor is determined to do something, and most of the time, in the hands of the emperor, this method can play a role. The role of four or two dials.

Just like now, the emperor seemed to be asking for their opinions, but in fact he sent Huai En directly to pass the decree. In fact, he was saying that summoning the ministers was a decided matter, and there was nothing to discuss.

Since Zhu Jian wanted to make a big fuss about this matter, the emperor simply made a big fuss.

Under the current situation, if the Son of Heaven refutes the cabinet proposal and sends it back for a re-draft, then the reputation of deliberately delaying Donggong's exit from the cabinet will inevitably be held by the Son of Heaven.

However, Zhu Jian's few words just now gave the emperor a chance to counterattack.

Zhu Jian's original intention was to call Zhu Yi and Hu Wei over to try to work harder for the young army, but the emperor turned around and called all the important officials with names and surnames over.

In this way, in fact, this matter went beyond the scope of the cabinet and extended to the court.

In this case, it is not that the cabinet and the emperor disagree, but it is very likely that the courtiers have disagreements and the emperor coordinates in the middle.

Still the same sentence, all the ministers knew well that the emperor just didn't want to let the East Palace out of the pavilion so soon, but because of the etiquette, no one was willing to pass this step to the emperor.

That being the case, the Son of Heaven simply expanded the scope and recruited a group of people. In this way, as long as someone raised an objection, then the Son of Heaven had a reason to "listen to advice and accept advice" whichever side he supported.

As for whether someone will take this risk and say something that is not so politically correct...

The elders and the elders unanimously thought of a certain heavenly official with the surname Wang!

You know, when the court was discussing whether the East Palace should leave the pavilion to study, that person strongly opposed it...

Therefore, this move of the emperor also caused a trace of worry in the hearts of everyone.

You must know that although Zhu Jian's behavior was reckless today, the cabinet's treatment is considered appropriate enough. He reprimanded the young army, restricted the development of the East Palace, and then postponed the time to study in the cabinet until after the spring hunt.

The emperor should be satisfied with this situation.

Unless, the Son of Heaven doesn't just want to delay the date of leaving the cabinet, but... really wants to prevent the prince from leaving the cabinet!

If the former is acceptable to the officials, then the latter, the bosses must absolutely advise.

This point is a consensus.

No matter from the perspective of the state of the country, the relationship between the heavenly family, or even the reputation of the emperor himself, the position of the East Palace cannot be shaken.

But today's attitude...

The Wenhua Palace fell into silence, and all the ministers were thinking quietly.

At this time, the sun was already hanging high in the sky, and Wynn sent people to different yamen and mansions at the same time.

Perhaps because he knew what was going to happen today, even Uncle Hu Dazong, who always liked to sneak away at work, stayed in the yamen honestly this time.

Not long after, a group of ministers who had been summoned met outside the Wenhua Hall.

The difference from Cheng Jing is that Wynn's oral practice is very strict. If Cheng Jing came to call, he would more or less let the ministers make preparations in advance, but although Wynn He was also smiling, but it was hard to get any news from him.

Therefore, until they came outside the Wenhua Palace, the elders didn't think about it. It was worth calling all of them together for any urgent government affairs this early in the morning.

Especially when they saw that among the people who were summoned, there were still some martial arts, and even Zhu Yi was mixed in, the elders were even more puzzled.

After leading the crowd to the outside of the hall, Huai En cupped his hands and entered. After the ministers waited outside the hall for a while, a servant came out to call everyone to see him.

So, the elders looked at each other, with strong doubts, entered the hall under the guidance of the servants, and bowed their hands in salute.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"
