Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 710
In Wenhua Hall, Zhu Yi bowed his head and prostrated himself, and made an impassioned speech, which immediately made the atmosphere in the hall even more stagnant.

The eyes of a group of ministers below kept wandering between the emperor and Zhu Yi, both surprised and admirable.

Zhu Yi is really going all out!
The elders present were all good people, so when they saw Zhu Yi's memorabilia, they had already roughly guessed Zhu Yi's intentions.

There are two things mentioned in the memorial, one is to set the time for the East Palace to leave the pavilion early, and the other is to reset the young army.

The political purpose of these two things is very obvious. The stability of Chuben is a great contribution. Although it is not as good as the meritorious service, it is enough to make the court no longer care about Zhu Yong's failure in the battle of Yaoerling.

However, to achieve this, there must be a prerequisite.

That is to say, if this matter is to be done, if it is just a memorandum, and it is perfunctory to discuss it after the last emperor's sentence, then it is useless to say anything.

Therefore, we have to create momentum and find ways to make the emperor have to face up to this memorial, instead of perfunctorily responding to it.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to want people to take risks with him based on the so-called righteous name alone, so there was a suggestion to re-establish the young army after the prince came out of the cabinet.

Perhaps the Eastern Palace's departure from the pavilion would not bring any immediate benefits to the nobles, but the young army attached to the Eastern Palace is a step up for the nobles.

At the same time, in order to ensure that her dominant position would not be robbed, Zhu Yi also persuaded her father-in-law, Hu Wei, Minister of Rites, to escort her, and jointly named her as the follower.

In this way, there is this memorial in front of everyone.

This is not something that is difficult to guess. It is easy to figure it out after contacting the front and back. However, it is enough to make all the officials sigh the courage of this young prince.

You must know that there are two main factors that hinder the restoration of the Duke of Chengguo. One is the resistance of the officials in the court.

The other is the resistance from the emperor, or that sentence, whether the Chengguo government can be restored to the title depends to a large extent on the emperor's will.

At the beginning, Zhu Yi understood this point and tried her best to please the emperor, but later, perhaps due to the interference of various factors, Chengguo's mansion was self-defeating and offended the emperor.

Of course, all the ministers standing in this palace understand that the matter of drafting at the beginning was definitely not the main reason for the breakdown of the relationship between the two parties, but just a fuse.

The real reason actually came down to the court. At that time, the aftermath of the civil war was still there, and the courtiers had a deep resentment towards Zhu Yong. The emperor had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not stable. The minister caused a disturbance.

However, Zhu Yi was unwilling to stay in his own place, and kept running around, jumping up and down, wanting to regain his title, which led to the final result that Zhu Yi was reprimanded by the emperor and ordered him to bury Zhu Yong with state ceremonies.

As for later, in fact, many things are involuntary.

The emperor's refusal to give Zhu Yong the title of county king according to the usual practice is equivalent to obliterating Zhu Yong's achievements in half his life. This is like a political signal, which seems to indicate the decline of Cheng Guogong's mansion.

In Xungui's circle, they are often more realistic than civil servants. Once this incident happened, all the mansions became indifferent to the Chengguo Mansion, especially those who had grudges before, and even invaded the Chengguo Mansion unscrupulously. Land property, mansion and other industries.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Shangsheng happened to make a move and bestowed a marriage to marry the Duke of Cheng and the Duke of England.

In this case, even if it was just to get rid of the real predicament, Cheng Guo Gongfu actually had no other choice.

However, once you go up this road, it will be difficult to turn back.

So, in fact, for the Duke of Cheng, it is actually relatively simple to solve the resistance of the courtiers. How to get the emperor to agree to restore the Duke of Cheng is the most difficult thing to do.

It is true that promoting the East Palace out of the pavilion is a great achievement, but even if it is to be rewarded, the emperor has the final say on how to be rewarded.

So it stands to reason that Zhu Yi at this time should be more careful not to anger the emperor too much.

But now, look at what this lord has done. Not only did one sentence go too far, but the emperor even said something about "abolishing Cheng Guogong's mansion".

That's not all, seeing Zhu Yi put aside the official hat she had just taken off after finishing speaking, then respectfully kowtowed three times, got up and said goodbye directly, the hearts of the elders trembled even more.

This is really a gamble!
You know, the emperor is just unwilling to have a direct conflict with the courtiers, but this does not mean that the emperor has no ability to suppress it after a conflict does occur.

Now that Zhu Yi has put the emperor here, he has created a loyal image in the court that is dedicated to the public, not hesitate to use his own title as a bet, and also strives for the prince to leave the cabinet as soon as possible.

However, from the perspective of the emperor, this is a naked slap in the face of the emperor.

In case the Son of Heaven is really cruel, disregarding the courtiers' advice, and taking this opportunity to completely abolish the Duke of Cheng, presumably, no one will really work hard for a crumbling Cheng. The government is against the emperor.

On the contrary, perhaps the bosses would still feel that, not only has the prince's goal of leaving the cabinet and stabilizing his capital been achieved, but also he has given the emperor's pent-up anger a place to vent, and he can give Xungui another blow, so why not for what?

Therefore, I have to say that this time, Zhu Yi really made a dangerous move.

If the situation develops well, it is natural that Duke Cheng's mansion will be restored to the title, but if the development is not good, then the outcome may be...

Sure enough, seeing Zhu Yi retreating from the palace on his own, looking lonely and wronged, the emperor's face became more and more ugly, and he shouted sharply.

"Wynn!"

"The servant is here!"

"Immediately go to deliver the decree to protect the general Zhu Yi. He is rebellious in his words and deeds, inappropriate in his actions, and has lost my heart. From now on, he will be dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner."

"His father Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, was controlled by traitors. He underestimated the enemy and made rash advances. He lost his teacher and humiliated the country. It was a serious crime for us to have tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty buried in Yaoerling. He will be deprived of his title of Duke of Cheng from now on and take back the hereditary inheritance." Iron coupon!"

The Son of Heaven has never been the type who is willing to swallow his anger, the voice of the two decrees is cold, with unquestionable firmness and anger.

If it is Cheng Jing who is in the Wenhua Palace at this time, then maybe he will stop him, but Wynn's greatest advantage is actually the same as Shu Liang, that is, he is obedient.

Therefore, when the Son of Heaven's voice fell, he bowed his hands without hesitation.

"Slave order!"

After all, he turned around and took the people with him to go out of the palace to announce the decree. Now, all the ministers present couldn't sit still any longer and stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesty calm down..."
