Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 768

In the Wenhua Palace, the sky had already darkened, but the palace was brightly lit. Hu Wei, Yu Qian, Shen Yi and other ministers, none of them left, they all stood quietly in the palace, waiting for the result.

It's just that from the occasional whispers, it can be seen that these elders are not calm.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wynn is back!"

As the servant hurried in to report, everyone's spirits were immediately lifted.

Immediately afterwards, when Wynn, who was dressed in python, came in from outside the hall, all eyes were fixed on him immediately.

"Slave and servants meet your majesty."

Wynn saluted upright, but he didn't rush.

"Excuse me, what did Our Lady say?"

Knowing what everyone was concerned about, Zhu Qiyu didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.

Therefore, Huai En bowed his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the Holy Mother said that although it is not appropriate to be canonized by the Supreme Emperor, after all, it is because of nostalgia for the past, and it is not good to rush back, so let her stay in the Nangong as a female officer to serve the Supreme Emperor By your side, please be safe."

This answer was obviously unsatisfactory, and all the officials present immediately frowned.

What they wanted was for Empress Dowager Sun to issue an order to send the Mongolian woman back, so that Daming would stay away from the disputes in the grassland and wait and see what happened.

But now, the canonization has been withdrawn, but the person has stayed.

Although it is not a marriage, but staying as a female official is not a big deal, and it should not make the Tatars have too many guesses, but there is always a hidden worry.

After all, that was Yexian's younger sister, and taking her in the palace, even if the impact on the Tatars were not mentioned, just because of her identity alone, it always made people feel that her purpose of entering the palace was not pure.

Dodge the flames of war?

First of all, to what extent is he so weak that he can't even protect his own sister, so he wants to come to Daming to avoid disaster?

If it really came to this point, I'm afraid that it wasn't his sister who came here, but himself first, bringing a lot of Oirat nobles with him.

Looking at each other, Hu Wei, the oldest with seniority, asked.

"Eunuch Wynn, this matter is no small matter. Didn't you explain the impact to the Holy Mother?"

These words had a questioning tone, and they were in front of the emperor, so they could only push the oldest Mr. Hu to come out.

However, Wynn's temper is obviously better than they imagined. In other words, he had already expected this kind of scene, so he cupped his hands and said.

"Don't worry, Uncle Da Zong. Although our family did not tell the Holy Mother about the ins and outs of this matter, our family has carefully told the Holy Mother about the special status of Yexian's sister and its impact on the court, but... ..."

Wynn paused for a moment, seeing that a group of elders seemed to have thought of something, he continued.

"But the Holy Mother said that she is just a mere woman, and she can't fight with others. She also said... and said that His Majesty is making a big fuss. If Tuotuobuhua really offends me because of this matter, it will only be because of his premeditated plan, not because of it." This is something else."

The tone of these words was exactly the same as that of the Supreme Emperor, which immediately made the faces of the elders present a little ugly.

It is true that Queen Mother Sun's words are not unreasonable. If there is a war, the deep-seated reason must be that both parties or one of them want to fight.

But this does not mean that the fuse that actually caused the war is not important, at least, it determines the opportunity for the war to start, which plays a vital role in many cases for who can win when the two sides are similar in strength .

Of course, when Wynn said this, there was a slight suspicion of a crime.

Most of the ministers present had been in contact with Queen Mother Sun, and even handled political affairs with her after the Civil War.

In all fairness, although the Empress Dowager Mother is not that outstanding in government affairs, in most cases, she still knows the general situation and understands the overall situation.

Even if the Supreme Emperor was limited by his friendship when he was in Yibei, it would be difficult to drive the Mongolian woman away, but what about the Empress Dowager Sun?

Wynn naturally felt the suspicion of everyone present, but he didn't care.

At this time, I saw that the first emperor frowned, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied, said.

"I sent you to deliver a message, so naturally you should explain everything clearly to the Holy Mother in detail, but you just said that you only told the Holy Mother about the impact of this matter, but did not explain that Bodu and others deliberately planned and plotted Why is everything about the Supreme Emperor?"

Seeing this situation, Wynn's face was stagnant, and he seemed to be hesitant, but the emperor had to answer the questions, so, after only a moment, Wynn continued.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, when the servant girl came to the Palace of Mercy Ning, Duke Ruan Lang was also there. At that time, the servant girl had just entered, and the Holy Mother asked the servant girl if she came for the emperor to marry a Mongolian woman. This matter was informed to her, so the servant girl did not explain the ins and outs of this matter to the Holy Mother in detail."

Well, this solves the case!

Who is Ruan Lang?

The emperor's confidant eunuch, moreover, was chosen by Empress Dowager Sun to serve in Nangong.

What could be the reason why he appeared in the Compassionate Ning Palace at this time?
The elders almost didn't even need to turn their heads to understand that it must be sent by the Supreme Emperor. Moreover, in all likelihood, it was because they expected that the Emperor would go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to find the Empress Dowager Sun after he failed to find him. Let Ruan Lang pass by and block this road.

Otherwise, how can you explain that what the Empress Dowager Sun said is exactly the same as the Supreme Emperor?

That being said, it can be explained.

After all, the Empress Dowager Sun is the biological mother of the Supreme Emperor, so the so-called inseparable relatives, even if she cares about the overall situation, she is not familiar with court affairs after all. In her opinion, the words of the Supreme Emperor must be more credible than these people from the outer court.

So in all likelihood, the Queen Mother really believed what the Supreme Emperor said, and felt that a mere Mongolian woman had nothing to do with the overall situation, so she took it in if she took it in.

If you think about it this way, it's easy to understand Queen Mother Sun's edict.

If you want to make the younger sister of the leader of Wala who kidnapped the Supreme Emperor as a concubine, the Queen Mother and her elderly can't afford to lose this person, but since the Supreme Emperor insists, it's not a big deal, so let's try to give the Supreme Emperor some face and stay in the palace to serve...

A group of ministers automatically restored the ins and outs of the matter, and couldn't help but feel a headache. It seems that the way to find the Empress Dowager Sun to make an order is completely useless.

Among the crowd, only Old Shangshu Hu had a pensive look in his eyes, as if he had understood something.

However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw that the Son of Heaven was smiling but he quickly lowered his head, looking at his nose, nose, and heart, as well as the patterns of the carpet, pretending that he didn't know anything.

However, even so, Wynn on the side still felt that it was not enough, and continued.

"Your Majesty, apart from the disposal of the Mongolian woman, the Holy Mother has a few words for the servants to pass on to Your Majesty and the elders."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately converged, and even the emperor cheered up and asked.

"What?"

So, under everyone's gaze, Wynn said.

"The holy mother said that when the Supreme Emperor gave His Majesty the Zen throne, he believed that His Majesty would be able to stabilize the country and protect the safety of the ancestors. Now that there are many virtuous ministers in the court to assist, if Daming can win once, he will definitely be able to win second." This time, she believes that even if the flames of war resume, His Majesty and the many courtiers in the court will be able to deal with it properly..."

If Empress Dowager Sun were here, she would definitely get angry immediately.

What did she ask Wynn to convey?

It was indeed she who said these words, but at that time, it was to stop Wynn's mouth. When did he convey it?

However, such small details are obviously not what the officials in the palace are concerned about.

In other words, even if they knew it, they wouldn't care. After all, it's not easy to say such things. In front of the emperor, Wynn must not have the guts to lie.

Therefore, the content of the words is far more important than the way the words are delivered.

As long as it is said by Queen Mother Sun, even if it is not said here and now, through Wynn's mouth, there will be other channels to spread the word.

In short, there will be no fakes.

And the content of these words... really makes people feel a little uncomfortable!
These words in Ming Litou are praising the emperor and the ministers for being able to "fix the country and protect the ancestors and the community", but in fact the implicit meaning in the words is that if such a small matter can't be handled, what do you want?

However, how can a soldier's weapon be blurted out so easily with a few casual words?
Not to mention that Daming's current national strength has not yet fully recovered, Miaodi is in constant war, and there are many major issues in the court that need to be dealt with urgently, so it is not appropriate to start a war rashly.

Even if there is a war, it can be won, but when the upper lip touches the lower lip, the soldiers and civilians who died are incalculable.

Now, the Empress Dowager said, "Even if there is another war, I believe His Majesty and the courtiers can deal with it properly." She said it lightly, but it makes people feel uncomfortable no matter how you listen to it!
Therefore, after listening to it, everyone's faces were quite ugly, and after a while, the first assistant Wang Ao said.

"Your Majesty, what the Holy Mother said is wrong. The affairs of the court are complicated and complicated, and one hair will affect the whole body. You should be careful and keep the society and the ancestral temple safe. It is the responsibility of the ministers. However, if you can take care of yourself, you will not be involved. Into the flames of war in the grassland, why should I, Ming, rush there?"

"The Holy Mother lives deep in the palace, and I'm afraid she doesn't know much about the affairs of the Sheji Dynasty, so what she said is biased. I think that this matter needs to be reported to the Holy Mother. The Mongolian woman's stay in Nangong still needs to be considered. .”

What Wang Ao said was not euphemistic, it could even be said to be bold, but in this special scene, it was understandable.

You must know that the ministers just passed on what Empress Dowager Sun said just now, and the core target of accusation should be the emperor sitting on the throne now.

Otherwise, her old man would not have specifically emphasized that "the Supreme Emperor gave the throne to the emperor because he believed that the emperor could stabilize the country." Conversely, if the emperor can't stabilize the country, why bother to take the throne?
Therefore, the first time the ministers heard this sentence, they were worried that the emperor would be furious because of it. If so, the situation would be even worse.

Therefore, Wang Ao said the words first, just to avoid the irreparable consequences caused by the emperor saying the words.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yi followed suit.

"That's right, Your Majesty, after all, the Holy Mother has been in the harem for a long time, and she must have been unaware of it for a while and failed to understand the reason behind it. That's why she made this decree. I believe that as long as Your Majesty explains the reason clearly to the Holy Mother, the Holy Mother will understand. Make sense, change your mind."

However, facing the two people's persuasion, Zhu Qiyu's face remained cold, and he did not respond.

At this time, Yu Qian on the side shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, I think what Shen Shangshu and Chief Assistant said is reasonable, but they didn't mention the key point."

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu's expression changed and he asked.

"What does Mr. Yu think is the key?"

"Of course it's the Supreme Emperor!"

Yu Shaobao has always been straightforward, and dare to say it!
In a word, everyone's eyes were successfully focused on him.

But this time, Zhu Qiyu became interested and continued to ask.

"Why do you say that?"

So, Yu Qian cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the two adults have just said that the Holy Mother lives in the palace and is ignorant of government affairs. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make decisions on such matters that involve government affairs."

"However, the Supreme Emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years. It should be understood that the complicated relationship between Oala, Tatar, and me, Ming Dynasty, Yexian's sister has such a special status. Taking her in the palace will inevitably have an incalculable impact on the relationship between the three parties. influences."

"However, even so, the Supreme Emperor still sent Ruan Lang to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to lobby the Holy Mother. This move is actually for his own affection, regardless of national affairs!"

It has to be said that only Yu Qian dared to say these words.

But, it doesn't stop there, Yu Qian continued amidst the suspicious eyes of everyone.

"Besides, the Holy Mother also had some inappropriate handling of this matter."

"Since the Holy Mother said that all affairs in the court are now in the hands of His Majesty, even if you can't clearly judge the twists and turns, you should know that His Majesty sent Eunuch Huai En to pass the message after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons of all parties. It is also for the stability of the court. , for border security."

"However, based on Ruan Lang's one-sided words, the Holy Mother felt that this matter was harmless, and concluded that His Majesty made a fuss out of a molehill, and issued an order to keep the Mongolian woman in the palace. It was an arbitrary move!"

Well, this can be regarded as scolding the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager together.

One is to disregard the overall situation, and the other is to listen to and believe in one side, which is not a good word anyway.

However, after the emperor listened, his expression was a little unpredictable, he was silent for a moment, and asked.

"In Mr. Yu's opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

So, Yu Qian raised his head and said with a firm face.

"Your Majesty, please send someone to send another message, imploring the Empress Dowager to take back the edict, and at the same time send an order to the Oirat Mission to leave Beijing within a time limit. After that, the Ministry of War will check one by one according to the roster to ensure that the people who leave Beijing are the same as those who entered Beijing, and no one is missed! "

As soon as the voice fell, the Wenhua Palace suddenly became audible, and the eyes of the boss fell on Qian, all of which were extremely complicated...
