Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 806
"He didn't intend to break into the palace?"

After all, he was the one who witnessed the whole thing. Although Mr. Meng was a little slow-witted, he still came to his senses.

With Shu Liang's personality, if he wanted to break in, Meng Jun would not be able to stop him at all.

However, although he was arrogant outside the palace and pressed every step of the way, but now that he thinks about it, there is no shortage of suspicions of delaying time.

After reacting, Commander Meng hesitated for a while, looking at Zhu Yidao at the side.

"Could it be that he has been waiting for the little grandpa to come over?"

What he said was quite ambiguous, which made Zhu Qizhen look at Zhu Yi a little more strangely.

Meng Jun also felt that something was wrong when he said the words, but when he wanted to explain, he saw Zhu Yi actually nodded and said.

"Yes, he is waiting for me!"

Seeing the slight change in the face of the Supreme Supreme Emperor, Zhu Yi continued to speak, and added, saying.

"To be more precise, this Eunuch Shu is waiting for someone who can stop him!"

The implication is that this person could be Zhu Yi or someone else.

Seeing the face of the Supreme Emperor changed, Zhu Yifang continued.

"Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. Shu Liang and Wynn came to Nangong one after the other. Wynn came in first to play the match. At that time, Shu Liang took five hundred fans to the Nangong."

"Such a mighty formation, how can it not attract attention?"

"Shu Liang waited outside the palace until Eunuch Wynn's performance was over, and dawdled with Commander Meng for so long. The government and the opposition have basically got the news."

"If he really wants to take people, then a quick decision is the way to control the impact of the matter to a minimum. But he doesn't avoid people, and he doesn't panic. It can be seen that from the beginning, he didn't Planning to break into Nangong by force."

These words made Zhu Qizhen, who was already guessing, more sure that he was right.

As a result, the trace of worry in his heart disappeared, he snorted softly, and looked at Meng Jundao.

"I said a long time ago that this bastard doesn't have the guts to forcibly break into the palace, and his master won't let him be so unscrupulous, but you don't even dare to stop him by force, which really disappoints me!"

Being scolded by the Supreme Emperor, Meng Jun couldn't help shrinking his neck.

He thought so too, but it's easy to analyze this kind of thing afterwards, but in that kind of scene, who knows if he would dare to face Shu Liang's madness?

Back then when he was in the Xuan Mansion, no one would have thought that he was so courageous that he dared to surround the palace and persecute the majestic Supreme Emperor?
However, Meng Jun is not a brainless stunned young man, so he would not quarrel with the Supreme Emperor at this time, so he can only slander silently in his heart.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Yi spoke at this time.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood Commander Meng!"

"According to what I see, under the circumstances at that time, Commander Meng's choice was the most correct."

Now, Zhu Qizhen was not happy.

It was he who ordered Meng Jun to guard the gate of the palace. If Meng Jun was right to shrink back, then it means that his will was wrong?
However, although he was unhappy in his heart, Zhu Qizhen could tell that Zhu Yi had come prepared this time, so he did not rush to interrupt Zhu Yi, but continued to wait for his explanation .

Sure enough, Zhu Yi sighed and said.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say frankly that in the current situation of His Majesty, it is the best policy to refrain from haste and use patience, to hide your strength and bide your time. Fighting bravely and fighting fiercely for a while will only make His Majesty's situation worse."

These words are becoming more and more unpleasant.

Although Zhu Qizhen knew that Zhu Yi was telling the truth, he still felt displeased, and said with a soft snort.

"Why, your so-called loyal words are harsh, are you trying to persuade me to back down step by step even when facing a lowly slave?"

This is actually an admission in disguise.

However, perhaps because he couldn't save face, Zhu Qizhen intentionally skewed his attitude towards court affairs to the matter of Shu Liang breaking into the palace.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi pondered for a moment, then followed Zhu Qizhen's words.

"Your Majesty, a mere Shu Liang is nothing. Even if he is the admiral of Dongchang and the supervisor of ceremonies, he is nothing more than a royal servant. To put it bluntly, if it is not for the protection of the emperor, this People of this generation, the Supreme Emperor can kill them at any time, and it won't cause any trouble."

"However, the Supreme Emperor, please think about it. It is such an eunuch who dared to go outside the Nangong even though the Xuanfu had already offended the Supreme Emperor last time, pretending to break into the palace, but not really breaking into the palace. He What exactly is the intention?"

This……

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't think too deeply about this question.

Don't look at how he scolded Meng Jun just now, but in fact, judging from his understanding of Shu Liang, this person is not easy to get along with.

In addition to being bold, another characteristic of this person is that he is sure and ruthless.

If it is said that he did not come here this time to break into the palace, then what was the reason for it?

Zhu Qizhen's political judgment should be said to be sufficient. Thinking of what Zhu Yi said after entering the palace, he couldn't see what Zhu Yi meant, and his previous emperor was in vain.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qizhen's expression changed, and he said.

"You mean, he is testing the attitude of the whole court?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen finally understood what Zhu Yi just said, the so-called Shu Liang is waiting for someone 'who can stop him'.

He marched towards the Nangong mightily with five hundred fans, and he looked so menacing that even Meng Jun was frightened by him, thinking that he was really going to bring people into the palace.

In this case, in the usual times, a minister would have gone to the emperor and asked the emperor to stop the matter and restrain the slaves.

But this time, apparently not.

Everyone in the imperial court quietly watched...

It's not just because Shu Liang came to arrest people this time 'by order'.

If you really want to take people away, there are many ways.

The simplest thing is that the emperor can completely bypass Zhu Qizhen and directly order Meng Jun to send a group of people to Jinyiwei according to the roster.

Although passing over the Supreme Emperor in this way will make the foreign ministers feel that the emperor ignores the existence of the Supreme Emperor, but it is still much better than the current situation of forcibly breaking into the palace and making trouble out of control.

After all, Meng Jun is the commander of the Forbidden Army. Although he is responsible for guarding Nangong and obeying the orders of the Supreme Emperor, don’t forget that the Imperial Army is the Shangzhiwei. The Habayashi guards are under the orders of the Supreme Emperor.

In terms of priority, it is obvious that the imperial decree of the emperor should be more legal and rational. As long as there is an explicit decree, Meng Jun will definitely not dare to openly resist the decree.

Thinking about what he has known about his younger brother since he returned to Beijing, it is no exaggeration to say that he is scheming.

Therefore, he sent Wynn and Shu Liang here not because he couldn't think of the best way, but because he had other plans.

This can also explain why Shu Liang stayed outside for so long.

His purpose was to stall for time and see the reaction from inside and outside the court.

In fact, when Wynn brought Ruan Lang's body over, Zhu Qizhen understood that this matter could not be resolved.

Interfering in government affairs and offending important ministers are not light crimes, but they are not enough to be beaten to death on the spot.

What's more, he is from Nangong after all, logically speaking, even if he needs to be dealt with, he should be sent back to Zhu Qizhen for him to deal with.

This is basic decency!
This dignity is not for Ruan Lang, but for Zhu Qizhen, the overlord.

Therefore, even if the emperor wanted to deal with it on the spot, the ministers below would plead for mercy.

But no one pleaded!

This shows that the matter of privately controlling Bodu to escape has indeed touched the bottom line of the officials.

They wanted to use Ruan Lang's life to make Zhu Qizhen restrain himself.

And these, perhaps, were exactly what his younger brother wanted.

From the time he returned to the capital, Zhu Qizhen dispelled all the fantasies of 'brotherly love'. For some reason, his younger brother seemed to have changed since he ascended the throne.

When he was in front of him, Zhu Qizhen felt that he was not his flesh and blood brother, but a stranger without relatives and reasons.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't understand such a change. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that the power of the throne is so great that it can change a person's mind from the inside out.

However, he knew very well that if given the chance, this younger brother would definitely attack his little status and authority without hesitation.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Qizhen has been in a state of anxiety since he retired to Nangong, and secretly wins over forces everywhere.

Today, although they seem to be in harmony on the surface, in fact, the secret confrontation has already begun.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen can still stay safely in Nangong is because of the restriction of etiquette, he is the elder brother emperor after all, and secondly because he has taken the overall situation into consideration and successfully completed the succession of the throne.

In terms of emotion and reason, the current emperor had to treat him with courtesy.

However, this situation is bound to not last.

This time, it was obviously a temptation!
What Shu Liang did outside the Nangong was to test for the emperor, how far the officials could tolerate, and how far the emperor suppressed the Supreme Emperor.

Is it blocking important people, or forcibly breaking into the palace, or, it is also okay to bump into the emperor?
Anyway, he is just a servant girl, even if he has gone too far, it can be said that he will make up his own mind at that time, and he will be punished.

At this thought, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sneer.

His younger brother pretends to be a moral Bodhisattva, but in the final analysis, isn't he still the same as him?They are flesh and blood brothers, who is stronger than whom?

It's just, it's a pity that Ruan Lang...

After all, this old eunuch was loyal to him, but he never expected that he would never return.

"Your Majesty, that is exactly the case!"

At this time, Zhu Yi's voice sounded again, making Zhu Qizhen recover from his contemplation.

"That Shu Liang has been stalling for time just to see the reaction of the ministers outside the court, so the minister said that he is waiting for someone who can stop him from breaking into the palace."

"From this point of view, Commander Meng has always refused to conflict with him under his pressure every step of the way. In fact, it has pushed him to the point where he can't get out of the tiger."

When it comes to himself, Meng Jun immediately regains his spirits.

Using his brain, which is not very familiar with politics, to try to understand, Commander Meng made a flash of inspiration in his mind and said.

"Your Majesty, it is true. Although Shu Liang is bold, he also knows how serious the crime of breaking into the palace is."

"Although he came here to test Wai Chao's reaction on behalf of the emperor, he is not a reckless person, so I'm afraid he is not sure how Wai Chao will react if he really broke in."

"So, at the gate of the palace, he kept irritating Yu Chen, wanting him to bring the Habayashi guards to fight with him."

"At that time, he hadn't stepped into the palace gate yet, so he didn't count as breaking into the palace. At most, he brought his followers to arrest people, but there was no clear order."

"If the subject had a conflict with him, it would be in his favor. When the time comes, Dongchang and the imperial army will fight each other, and the trouble will come to the imperial court. The emperor will definitely favor Dongchang."

"Yes, at that time, I saw that he was strong on the outside but on the inside, so I endured his bluff again and again, thinking that when he really brought people into the Nangong Palace and was convicted of forcibly breaking into the palace gate, he would be arrested again. , and tied him up in front of you, when the time comes, even if the emperor wants to protect him, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

This time you will become smarter...

Zhu Qizhen glared at Meng Jun who was madly making love to him, and snorted softly.

Of course he knew that Meng Jun was talking nonsense, but there was one sentence that caught Zhu Qizhen's attention.

With a sneer, he spoke.

"The eunuch, the admiral of the East Factory, is nothing more than a covetous person who is afraid of death, but he is a smart man, and he knows that he will use you to deal with him!"

As Meng Jun said, the emperor favored Dongchang, that's for sure.

Even if Shu Liang came here to break into the palace, but as long as he didn't set foot in the palace gate, it would not be easy to confirm the matter.

However, if he really broke into the palace, his own life might not be safe.

In this situation, Zhu Qizhen asked himself, if it was him, no matter how loyal he was, he would not want to take such a risk.

However, if it was delayed, no one from the court came to stop him. If he didn't continue to break in and go back to the emperor, it would be difficult to explain.

Therefore, he wanted to pull Meng Jun into the water. Once the two sides made a move, the emperor would have a reason to re-appoint the commander of Habayashi's guard.

This can be regarded as a small credit, with this, Shu Liang can almost get away with it.

After hearing these words, Zhu Yi knew that the matter was likely to happen.

So, he continued.

"Your Majesty, everyone in the court is paying attention to this matter. Before the minister came, he had already found out that many ministers were ready to enter the palace, but they have not left for a long time. They are waiting. I'm afraid it was Shu Liang who broke into the palace."

"When the time comes, they will enter the palace and read Shu Liang's book. They can not only take down this powerful eunuch, but also satisfactorily solve the forgery of the imperial decree. It can be said to have the best of both worlds."

"As far as the emperor is concerned, Shu Liang forced his way into the Nangong Palace and captured His Majesty's confidantes, but His Majesty could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. If it spread to the court and the opposition, His Majesty would lose face and authority in the court. do."

"At that time, the emperor only needs to make a decree to dispose of Shu Liang, and then he can appease the public opinion. The loss is nothing more than a servant girl, and the gain is that His Majesty will not order Nangong from now on. Good thing."

"Therefore, I came here in a hurry, Your Majesty, please think twice carefully, refrain from haste and use patience. At this moment, you must not act impulsively, and only by being patient for a while can you make a long-term plan. Please learn from Your Majesty..."
