Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 763 Crazy First?

In Chonghua Palace, Ruan Lang raised his head and looked at the Supreme Emperor with his hands behind his back.

The Supreme Emperor didn't look back, but Ruan Lang heard a rare hint of self-respect from his tone.

Ruan Lang could understand where this trace of arrogance came from.

Since the Civil War, the Supreme Emperor has been hit hard in everything.

In particular, after today's son ascended the throne, everything went smoothly, all the people were safe, the world praised him, and the national power gradually recovered, it became more and more perfect. The Supreme Emperor who led hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat the war and humiliated the country, What a failure.

Now, although it is just a trivial matter, the Supreme Emperor has finally found out that he is better than the Emperor, how could he not be happy?

Although, this so-called "sense of superiority" is not necessarily correct in Ruan Lang's view.

However, he also knew that it would be the most stupid way to stop it at this time, so he could only bow and say.

"According to the order."

Immediately, Ruan Lang retired lightly, but when he stepped out of the palace gate, he still couldn't help but a trace of worry flashed across his face.

It is true that the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the emperor cannot be intervened by an eunuch like him.

However, in terms of the feeling of being able to see through all the secrets at a glance every time he saw the emperor, he didn't feel that today is a person who will be trapped by a mere reputation like the evaluation of the emperor just now, and no one likes the emperor. The decisive son of heaven.

He believed that the Supreme Emperor was also aware of this point, but perhaps he was too eager to regain the sense of superiority in front of the emperor, so that the Supreme Emperor ignored this point intentionally or unintentionally.

However, as a bystander, Ruan Lang vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

However, even so, this is not something he can manage.

Sighing, taking a deep look at the Chonghua Hall, Ruan Lang calmed down, put a smile on his face again, and walked away from Nangong, and had no choice but to continue to do what the Supreme Emperor ordered...

It was nearly dusk, and the sun was hanging heavily on the horizon, using the afterglow of the setting sun to reflect brilliant clouds.

In the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Hu, who should have sneaked home long ago, is still sitting behind the table at this moment, which is rare.

In front of him, there was a copy of the Wara State Letter that had just been delivered, and at the bottom of the lobby was a Lang official, bringing the latest news.

"Uncle Dazong, in the afternoon, the Supreme Emperor sent an order to summon Bodu and the members of the mission. The latest news just now is that in the South Palace, the Supreme Emperor and Bodu had a very happy conversation and gave them a dinner."

The news in the capital can never be concealed, not to mention that such a big event as the Supreme Emperor summoning the Oirat Mission has already spread throughout the entire court in just one afternoon.

However, even though there was a lot of discussion outside, it was only aimed at the Supreme Emperor's summoning of the mission. However, as the great uncle of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Wei saw something deeper and farther.

especially……

Looking at the content of the credentials spread out in front of him, Mr. Hu's face became more and more complicated. After a while, the old man sighed heavily, put the credentials on the case in his sleeves, and said.

"Pass the sign, I want to enter the palace to see His Majesty!"

"what?"

The Lang Guan below was a little dazed for a while, you know, this meeting is about to go to the government office, at this time, enter the palace?This is not in line with the old man's usual style...

However, after taking a look at Hu Wei's face at the moment, the Lang official wisely didn't ask any more questions, but hurried down to do business.

At the same time, in Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qiyu did not prepare to go back to the harem for dinner as usual, but stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the brilliant clouds in the sky, as if waiting for something.

"Your Majesty, Hu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites is seeking an audience outside."

Wynn's cautious voice sounded behind him, and Zhu Qiyu looked away, with a somewhat inexplicable expression, as if talking to himself, said.

"finally come……"

After pondering for a while, Zhu Qiyu continued to speak, saying.

"Call Hu Wei Wenhua Palace Hou Zhi, in addition, call the military department Yu Qian, the cabinet Wang Ao has an audience."

"Yes!"

Huai En stepped back lightly, Zhu Qiyu turned around and looked in the direction of Nangong in the distance, his clothes were flying, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I've seen Uncle Da Zong..."

In the side hall of the Wenhua Hall, Hu Wei was sitting on the side, closing his eyes and resting his mind. The door of the hall was slowly pushed open, and Yu Qian and Wang Ao had rushed over to say hello.

Seeing the two people enter the door, Hu Wei was stunned subconsciously, and then, as if thinking of something, he squeezed the credentials in his sleeve and nodded to the two.

Seeing this situation, Yu Qian and Wang Ao glanced at each other, feeling a little puzzled.

From the looks of it, Uncle Da Zong seems to be in a bad mood...

However, before the two of them could open their mouths to ask, the door of the temple was pushed open again, Wynn stepped in and cupped his hands.

"Gentlemen, His Majesty summons you!"

So, they had no choice but to swallow the words in their stomachs and followed Wynn to the Wenhua Palace.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

On the upper throne, the Son of Heaven was wearing a blue over-the-shoulder five-clawed golden dragon-patterned toga, and raised his hands empty-handed.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, sit down!"

So, a few servants moved to the pier and led a few people to sit down. Afterwards, the emperor said.

"Just now Da Zongbo handed over a sign to see you, saying that he had received the letter of credence from Wala. I reckoned that Bodu had covered the letter of credence for so long. I think there would be something to be seen in the letter of credence, so I decided to He also summoned Mr. Yu and the chief assistant to listen."

After the words fell, a trace of understanding flashed across the faces of Yu Qian and Wang Ao, but Hu Wei's expression was a little more complicated.

However, at this point, there is no other way out. Old Shangshu Hu sighed, took out the letter of credence from his sleeve, and handed it over.

The servant took the letter of credence and handed it to the emperor. Zhu Qiyu opened it and looked at it, his face was a little surprised, and then he became a little weird again.

Seeing this change, Yu Qian and the others were at a loss.

Immediately, they heard the emperor speak.

"A good news, a bad news, which one do you two gentlemen want to hear first?"

The Son of Heaven said this calmly, but the fact that the Son of Heaven could say that meant that the matter was not serious, at least, it was not what they had been worried about.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the hall was a little relaxed, Yu Qian said.

"Let's hear the good news first!"

Therefore, the emperor said: "The good news is that although this letter of state is called the letter of the state, it was not written by Tuotuobuhua, but was sent first. Among the letters of the state, the attitude is very respectful and I have accused Tuotuobuhua of intruding on the border of Ming Dynasty and annexing various ministries of the grassland over the past few days, and requested that Ming Dynasty can issue an order to reprimand Tuotuobuhua and restrain his behavior."

Really good news!
After the words fell, a big stone in Yu Qian's heart finally fell to the ground.

This time the Oirat Mission came suddenly, and many people in the DPRK were worried. This was the prelude to another war.

Although Yang Hong, Marquis of Changping, had already made a judgment in the palace that day, and he must not dare to continue to invade the south, but whether he will be coerced by Tuotuobuhua is still unknown.

Now, at least from the perspective of the credential, there is no such meaning, which is of course good news.

However, Yu Qian was not dazzled by the news, but continued to ask.

"What about the bad news?"

The emperor's expression straightened, he tapped on the credential in front of him, and said.

"The bad news is that it was first stated in the letter of credence that the five major tribes of Tatar are plotting to annex Oala. During this period of time, they are trading with each other while plundering the border. They are preparing materials for the unification of the grassland. Sending a mission here is actually asking for help!"

Sure enough!

As early as when they learned that the mission had entered Beijing, the ministers had guessed that if it wasn't for Wala's intention to invade the south, then there was a high probability that they came to ask for help.

So……

"Your Majesty, how do you want Da Ming to help him first?"

After pondering for a moment, Yu Qian was the first to ask.

Zhu Qiyu took a look at the Guoshu, and immediately said.

"He hoped that Daming would stop trading with Tatars, and at the same time increase the trading with Wala, and asked me to issue an order to the Seven Guards of Kansai to open the connection between Wala and the Western Regions, and at the same time send [-] troops into the grassland to help Wala and Tatars. The five major tribes of Tartar are at war."

After the words fell, everyone present except Hu Wei was stunned.

This condition...you really dare to say it first!

Stop the trade market with Tatars, increase the trade market with Wala, open the passage to the Western Regions, and send troops into the grasslands to help Wala attack Tatars.

Of these four conditions, it would be extremely difficult to bring about any single one of them.

You must know that the trade exchange with Tatar was facilitated by the emperor himself, in order to reverse the situation of the war against Oala. In a sense, it was Tutuobuhua who helped Daming at that time.

Even if you don't talk about backlash and ungrateful things, the suspension of the mutual market at this time will definitely make Tuotuobuhua feel that Daming is not keeping his word, which will directly lead to the deterioration of the relationship between the two parties.

Furthermore, during this period of time, the operation of the Imperial Store has been very good. Under the supervision of the emperor, a large number of traded goods have provided high taxes for the imperial court and quickly filled the national treasury.

It can be said that if it were not for the benefits brought by the mutual market, it would be difficult for the imperial court to recover in the past two years. Major projects such as canals are basically unthinkable.

At this time, the mutual market must be suspended, and the Ministry of Accounting promises to be the first to jump out and object!

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is impossible for Daming to make such absurd decision just because he said a word first.

It is not easy to open the mutual market, and correspondingly, it is not an easy task to stop the mutual market, so Ye Xian's request is simply whimsical.

As for the mutual market between Jiakai and Wala, this can be considered, but don’t forget, it didn’t take long before the southward invasion, and the ruling and opposition parties still hate Wala deeply.

If the imperial court increases the mutual market with Wala at this time, how to appease the public opinion among the people will be the biggest problem.

In addition to public opinion, there are also frontier soldiers and generals. So many Paoze brothers died just now. As a result, the court opened more exchanges as soon as they turned around. How can they accept this?
Besides, it is even more impossible to open the passage to the Western Regions, and it is even more impossible to send troops into the grassland. The Seven Guards of Kansai and Oirat have been fighting for so many years, and there are countless blood feuds between them. aisle.

It is not impossible to send troops, but the problem is that Daming is now in the process of rectifying the army, and the troops everywhere are already unstable, so it is impossible to mobilize the expedition.

What's more, even if the military settlements had not been rectified, after the civil war, the vitality of the Ming Dynasty had not yet recovered, and it would not be realistic to mobilize large-scale officials and troops to participate in the internal disputes on the grassland.

So to sum it up, with the four requirements mentioned first, Daming's attitude doesn't even need to be thought about, just four words...

There are no doors!

"Your Majesty, let's do this first. Do you really want to ask Da Ming for help? If he has some sense, he should know that no matter what, I, Da Ming, will never agree!"

"Or, this credential is just a cover? Is it to cover up its true intention?"

Glancing at each other, Wang Ao on the side spoke in deliberation.

At the same time, Yu Qian also frowned.

"That's right, Your Majesty, the situation on the border should be cautious. He is also very cunning and good at rhetoric. I think that you can't believe what you say. Be careful, and the border defense needs to be re-arranged."

To put it bluntly, the conditions mentioned in Yexian's letter of credence are so strange that people have to wonder if there is something hidden behind it.

But this time, the emperor shook his head and said.

"There shouldn't be any major issues at the border!"

After the words fell, Yu Qian and Wang Ao couldn't help being a little surprised.

This sentence is a declarative sentence, not an interrogative sentence. Although it should be said, but with the character of the emperor, he can say this sentence with eighty percent confidence, not ten percent.

Sure enough, after saying this, the emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded to Wynn beside him, so Wynn immediately understood, found a memorial on the large royal case, and handed it over.

The emperor took the memorabilia and looked at it, and then ordered his servant to pass it in front of everyone, saying.

"This is the report sent back by Jin Shangshu from Gansu two days ago, which mentioned the recent situation of the Kansai Seven Guards and Wala."

"The Seven Guards of Kansai are adjacent to Oala, and there are frequent conflicts. They should be the ones who know the current combat power of Oara the most. According to the leader of the Seven Guards of Kansai, in recent days, the tribes of Oara have often clashed with Tatars and plundered each other. The relationship is very tense."

"In the past few days, they even sent people to the Seven Guards of Kansai to send documents for the peace talks, hoping to be able to 'knot forever'. It can be seen that life is indeed difficult."

This is obviously a secret handed over directly by Jin Lian, and even Yu Qian has never seen it.

Looking at the memorabilia covered with wax paint in front of him, Wang Ao's expression was a little unsightly. Although before, the ministers of all ministries also had the right to play directly, but they were usually in the early court, or they entered the palace by themselves. Zou, this kind of secret Zou directly delivered to the imperial court without going through any department is actually very rare.

The biggest advantage of this kind of secret melody is naturally its secrecy, but the biggest problem is precisely its secrecy, so that no one knows what was written.

Of course, from the cabinet's point of view, this kind of close rehearsal essentially bypassed the cabinet's proposal, so Wang Ao's face was of course not good-looking.

However, this secret memorial was submitted by Jin Lian, and judging from the style, it was obviously sent up through the channel of Jin Yiwei, in other words, it was ordered by the emperor.

Therefore, you have to hold back your dissatisfaction!

Compared to Wang Ao, Yu Qian seemed much calmer. After all, he had performed quite a few of this kind of secret performances when he was patrolling the border before.

Therefore, for Qian, what he cares more about is the content.

After receiving the memorial, Yu Qian read it carefully. Sure enough, in the secret, Jin Lian detailed what he saw and heard after he arrived in Gansu...
