Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 706 A gentleman can deceive him
In Wenhua Hall, following the emperor's speech, the atmosphere in the hall finally became a little more active. Everyone glanced at each other, and then, as expected, Wang Wen spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I think what Yu Cifu said is reasonable. Although the East Palace should be released from the cabinet, there is indeed no need to equip the young army. The civil and engineering battles are ahead. As the crown prince, the crown prince should study more about the principles of saints, government, economics and history. Too much distraction from martial arts."

"As for the date of leaving the cabinet early, your Majesty, the ministers have already said that the position of the Eastern Palace Reserve has been decided, and there is no reason for your Majesty a sage king to change it without reason. Therefore, there is no need to go out of the cabinet to study. In a hurry."

"However, the ministers considered the order of the heavenly family, in order to distinguish the monarch and the ministers early, and also had the order of the empress dowager, so the court discussed the prince's study in the pavilion, and announced it to all the yamen, so as to reassure the ministers."

"Today, the family is harmonious, the East Palace is benevolent and filial, and the officials admire it. This is the great fortune of the world. The position of the East Palace is stable. The government and the people can work with peace of mind, and the gossip will naturally disappear."

"After all, the crown prince is young. If he left the pavilion too early to study and foresaw the government affairs, His Highness might be disgusted. Therefore, I think that there is no need to rush for the East Palace to leave the pavilion now. It can be scheduled for February next year, and the grand ceremony will not be too late!"

Well, Wang Tianguan really has a wicked heart. The original cabinet was already enough to delay, but when it comes to Wang Tianguan, he will go straight to next year.

Hearing this, Zhu Jian couldn't sit still and said.

"My lord Tianguan's words are wrong. Regarding whether His Highness should leave the cabinet to predict the government affairs, it was already argued in the previous court meeting. His Majesty ordered the East Palace to leave the cabinet but did not prepare all the subordinate officials. This is why it was considered."

"This matter has already been agreed, why does the Lord Tianguan bring it up again?"

As he spoke, Zhu Ge hesitated for a moment, turned to the direction of the cabinet, and began to ask for foreign aid, said.

"Yu Zhan matter, Zhu still remembers it. At that time, you promised the court in the hall that you would do your best to assist the crown prince so that the East Palace would not be lost, but is that so?"

Yu Shiyue glanced at Zhu Jian.

Remember him at this time?Why did you go early?

But having said that, Yu Shiyue sighed when he heard Zhu Jian's deliberately changed address, and stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesty, the affairs of the imperial court are complicated, but because of this, it is even more impossible to delay it for a long time. The matter of the East Palace's exit from the cabinet was approved as early as the court discussion a year ago. The whole court and the public are now looking forward to the crown prince's exit from the cabinet."

"The Ministry of Rites, Imperial Academy, Qin Tianjian and other yamen have also made a lot of preparations for this matter. Although it is difficult to be perfect, if it is put on hold for a long time, most of the previous preparations will be wasted."

"This will not only make the minds of the officials fluctuate, it will be difficult to concentrate on their work, but also increase the consumption of the court, which is not a good strategy. Therefore, I think that after the hunting in late spring, the court will put this matter on the agenda."

At this time, Yu Shiyue could naturally see that the emperor seemed unwilling to let Donggong leave the cabinet prematurely.

However, there is always a limit to everything. Originally, when the court was discussing, the ministers meant that the court would open the seal after the year, and the first major event was to let the East Palace out of the cabinet.

At that time, the emperor didn't object. As a result, in the new year, all the energy of the court was put on the rectification of the army, and no one mentioned the matter of the East Palace.

But not mentioning it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The more this matter is delayed, in fact, the worse it will be for the reputation of the emperor, and the more people in the court will fluctuate.

If it is said that because the seal has just been opened and the court is busy, a slight delay of one or two months in the future is reasonable, but if it is delayed for a year, it is really too much.

Yu Shiyue knew that what he said might displease the emperor.

However, since Yu Shaobao's outlook on life was baptized last time, Yu Cifu's way of living above the court has gradually been affected.

The so-called upholding the integrity and firmness of the heart, although it is necessary to take into account the personal career, but more importantly, it is necessary to take into account the overall situation of the court.

Even from the perspective of an ordinary court minister, the early settlement of the East Palace will be of great benefit to the country.

This is not only the emperor's fulfillment of his promise to the world, but also his image of following the etiquette and selflessness, which will make the world return to his heart and all people will admire him.

At the same time, it is also to make the succession of the throne orderly, and to ensure the stability of the court and society.

To put it further, starting the teaching and training of the Eastern Palace as soon as possible can ensure the good quality of the prince to the greatest extent, and can achieve a smooth transition of power when he succeeds in the future.

Therefore, this is actually the reason why the courtiers hope that the prince will leave the cabinet as soon as possible. At the beginning, the Supreme Emperor did not come out of the cabinet early enough. Although the crown prince was confirmed early, for more than two years, he was in Wang Zhen. Under the teaching of Wang Zhen, he studied in the inner palace, so that even after he left the cabinet, he trusted and loved Wang Zhen more, which eventually became a catastrophe.

Now that the elders have learned their lesson, they are naturally unwilling to repeat the same mistakes. They must give the prince the most correct guidance from the very beginning of reading and writing, instead of letting the prince continue to be placed in the deep palace and educated by powerful officials.

Therefore, no matter whether it is for the consideration of the emperor, for the sake of the country, or as the second assistant of the cabinet, Yu Shiyue will not have other positions and attitudes.

Even though this would make that villain Zhu Jian proud, but the matter has come to this point, Yu Cifu can only record it secretly in his heart first.

Of course, Yu Cifu is not as brainless as Yu Qian, just like now, in front of the officials, even though he seems to be supporting Donggong to leave the cabinet as soon as possible with Zhu Jian.

But don't forget, before the group of ministers came, Yu Cifu had already made it clear that he opposed the young army.

Therefore, in many cases, adhering to principles and protecting oneself are not so conflicting!
Sure enough, seeing Yu Shiyue's attitude, Yu Qian on the side nodded slightly towards him, obviously agreeing with his statement.

Unlike the cautious Yu Cifu, Yu Shaobao has always been a man of action, so naturally he would not let his old friend alone bear the displeasure of the emperor.

Therefore, after Yu Shiyue finished speaking, Yu Qian followed closely and said.

"Your Majesty, what Master Cifu said is reasonable. It is better to set the date of the East Palace's departure earlier than later. It will not only reassure the court and the people, but also show His Majesty's kindness. With delays, there will be all kinds of rumors in the court. Talking about the Heavenly Family will damage His Majesty's virtue."

"Besides, the various preparations in each yamen cost a lot of money, and it is not suitable to delay it for a long time. Therefore, I think that after the spring hunting in March, it should be a ceremony for the East Palace to go out of the pavilion, so as to set the reserve capital and secure the world!"

It has to be said that Yu Qian's attitude has always been clean and tidy, even though the Ministry of War is now carrying out a major policy of rectifying military settlements and desperately needs the support of the emperor, Yu Shaobao did not hesitate at all.

Therefore, everyone is actually using themselves to measure others.

Yu Qian is a real and honest gentleman, in his heart, one size fits all, just like he won't get back on other things just because other ministers have tripped him up in certain government affairs.

He also felt that the emperor would not reduce his support for rectifying the army just because he supported Donggong to leave the cabinet, so in fact, this was the reason why Yu Qian spoke out every time.

So, is the emperor really as he thought?
