Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 77 Forcing the Palace

Since Empress Dowager Sun spoke up, it was natural not to answer.

The one who spoke first was the Minister of Rites, Hu Yi, and said: "Reporting to Our Lady, the old minister thought that the current affairs of the court are so complicated that we really need someone who is in charge of the overall situation. However, it is not for our ministers to abolish the establishment, and the Honglu Temple has already been prepared. Mission, you might as well wait until after the peace talks between the missions, if Ruovara insists that I will not wait for us to welcome the emperor back, it will not be too late to talk."

In such a major event, there is no room for squatting.

Therefore, Hu Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his attitude.

As expected by the Empress Dowager Sun, as the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor, Hu Yu took an opposing attitude on this matter.

However, to her disappointment, although Hu Xun was on her side, her tone and attitude seemed a little hesitant.

If his attitude is firm enough, he should directly refute Li Xian's advice on the grounds that the Son of Heaven is still there and that the state is a monarch and father, instead of discussing it later.

But it was good news anyway. Empress Dowager Sun let go, but before she could relax, Yu Qian stood up and said.

"Uncle Da Zong's words are bad. Since the army reported to Beijing, Oara has repeatedly made various demands, just relying on the Son of Heaven in his hands. In this peace talks, the other party will definitely use the Son of Heaven as a threat again, forcing me, Daming, to submit."

"The establishment of a new monarch at this time is not only for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, but also to shock the mountains and tigers. Only when I succeed the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty, will Oara know of my determination to never retreat, and there will be a chance to welcome back the emperor!"

These words were loud and clear. After speaking, Yu Qian turned around, and also fell to the ground, saying.

"Holy Virgin, the minister invites the Virgin to act as a plan for the society and for the emperor, and establish a new monarch early!"

Empress Dowager Sun cursed secretly in her heart. She had long known that this Yu Qian had no good intentions and would be drawn by Zhu Qiyu at some point.

She set her eyes on Wang Zhi, but to her disappointment, the head of the officials, the minister of personnel, never spoke.

After thinking for a while, Empress Dowager Sun simply turned her heart away and said coldly.

"To establish a new monarch, you also need to obey the law of etiquette. Tomorrow will be the ceremony for the canonization of the Eastern Palace. You are all important officials of the imperial court. You should know that the prince in the palace is not a young man, but if he is in a righteous position, what can he be able to do? This kind of unethical law. , and it is meaningless, why do you need to remonstrate?"

The matter has come to this point, and Empress Dowager Sun is willing to give up.

She still didn't believe it, courtesy and righteousness stood in the way, and these ministers really dared to open their mouths to let King Yu succeed the throne.

Sure enough, the ministers who kept silent below, you looked at me, I looked at you, all saw the helplessness in the eyes of the other party.

This...isn't this a rogue?

From the time when the Marquis of Fengcheng opened his mouth to remonstrate until now, only Yu Qian expressed his support with a clear attitude on the side of the civil servants. Although Hu Xun did not support it, his attitude was not firm either. The remaining ministers, including the Minister of Officials Wang Zhi kept silent.

This is an attitude in itself. If Xun Qi dared to make such remarks, he would have been scolded by the civil servants for a long time.

Everyone didn't speak, just because the matter involved the inheritance of the great position, and it was too sensitive.

But even so, it was unclear who was present. Li Xian was referring to a new emperor, referring to King Yu, not the two-year-old baby in the palace.

Just as a minister, it is very taboo to speak up and recommend the establishment of a new monarch. It is too presumptuous to speak up and propose a candidate to succeed the monarch, so everyone tacitly did not speak.

The most suitable person to talk about this kind of thing is the Queen Mother Sun.

As the emperor's biological mother and the empress dowager of the main palace, it is reasonable and legal for her to speak and order King Yu to succeed the throne.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother actually played a rogue.

The meaning of the ministers was clearly to establish another eldest prince, and when they arrived at her old man's house, they were misinterpreted as wanting to let the prince succeed the throne. Isn't this a rogue?
However, this rogue brushed, and the ministers still have no temper.

The matter involves the inheritance of the great position and is too sensitive. After all, they are courtiers. Once they open their mouths to advise King Yu to succeed the throne, they can easily be regarded as the power officials who force the palace to usurp the throne.

This... how can this be good?
The ministers looked at each other in dismay, and said nothing to each other, and the other end of Li Xian's head also broke out in dense cold sweat.

He really did not expect that the Empress Dowager Sun would still be so stubborn when many courtiers tacitly agreed.

When that happens, things get complicated.

Don't forget, he was the first to mention this advice to establish a new king.

This kind of thing, from the moment you open your mouth, there is no way to turn back. If it doesn't work, then for Xun Qi, not only will he not be able to turn around, but he will completely lose the blessing of imperial power.

Without the blessing of the imperial power, the honorable and celestial beings would have no resistance at all in front of the civil servants.

Not to mention that he is a Marquis of Fengcheng. If it is really settled by Qiuhou, no one can keep him.

In other words, at this point, retreating is an abyss, and this matter has to be accomplished!
In such a short period of time, Li Xian suddenly understood why the powerful ministers of the past dynasties eventually came to the point of military remonstrance.

In fact, the situation is forced, we have to do it!
Taking a deep breath, Li Xian gritted his teeth and was about to speak when he heard a voice beside him.

"Our Lady, as the old saying goes, the country's eldest monarch, the blessing of the Sheji, and the minister risking his death, please ask the Virgin to order His Royal Highness to inherit the throne and inherit the throne!"

His tone was calm, but he was very firm. Li Xian turned his head in surprise, but saw Yu Qian's eyes were clear and he kowtowed deeply.

"presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, the first one was shocked and angry, it belonged to the Queen Mother Sun, and the second one was angry and anxious, and it belonged to Zhu Qiyu.

It was because Empress Dowager Sun did not expect that there would be courtiers who dared to disregard the world's affairs and brazenly interfered in the succession of the throne.

Isn't he afraid of being criticized by the scholars all over the world as forcing the palace to usurp the throne?
As for Zhu Qiyu, he is purely angry!
You must know that major affairs of state affairs are not just a family affair, and they cannot be easily reversed with a little trick.

Empress Dowager Sun pretended to be stunned at the moment, which seemed to bring the situation to a deadlock, but at most it was just delaying for a while.

His plans these days are not just to be seen.

If Empress Dowager Sun really insisted on going his own way, he only needed to resign from the position of superintendent of the country, and then disseminate the few military reports that had been received these days and only circulated at the high level.

Even if Empress Dowager Sun did not want to compromise, she had to compromise.

Unless she wants to remonstrate with the ministers again!

But to do this thing, only the entire court and hundreds of officials can work together to do it, and public opinion can bear the consequences of violating the etiquette and law.

In addition, anyone who dares to make such remarks will definitely be criticized by the world.

Yu Qian, Yu Qian, what are you thinking!
Sure enough, Yu Qian's voice fell, and Empress Dowager Sun suddenly stood up and shouted sharply.

"Yu Qian, do you want to force the palace to usurp the throne? The Son of Heaven is in peace, and the East Palace has a master. How dare you make such a rude remark! Where is Jinyiwei, take this thief to the Ai family!"

The school captain in Jinyi, who was on duty outside, rushed in immediately, staring at him, and was about to arrest people.

However, at this moment, Zhu Qiyu didn't care about anything else, got up and shouted to Jin Yiwei who rushed up.

"Get out!"

The few Jin Yiwei looked at each other, but did not step forward after all.

Seeing this situation, Empress Dowager Sun had a calm face, pointed at Zhu Qiyu and said, "King Yu, you also want to conspire with this thief, can't you?"

"I dare not."

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, raised his head, and said.

"Our Lady, this subject is the imperial family, and the matter involves a high position, so I should avoid suspicion."

"However, the state of the country is in danger, and the ministers are in panic. There is an old saying that if the master is too small, the country will be suspicious. I have established the country for a hundred years. When such a crisis is on the verge of death, the priority should be given to the society."

"This minister has no intention of coveting a high position, but in such a situation, the new monarch should be established, and the crown prince is young. Only by establishing the eldest monarch can the hearts of the people in the world be reassured. Therefore, the minister asks the Virgin to think twice!"

After a pause, Zhu Qiyu opened the mouth to meet the suspicious gazes of the ministers.

"If the Virgin really thinks that this is a rebellious statement, that the minister deliberately rebelled and forced the palace to usurp the throne, then ask the Virgin to send the minister and Yu Qian to prison together, the minister... no complaints!"
