Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 807 Zhu Yi is a loyal minister

Chonghua Palace.

After Zhu Yi and Meng Jun left, the hall became empty.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the two leaving figures with complicated expressions, and sat there for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, go back to the palace..."

I don't know when, beside the throne, there was a graceful figure with a clear face and a graceful and luxurious phoenix robe.

It's Queen Money!

Her residence was very close to Chonghua Hall. When Ruan Lang was carried out, Empress Qian got the news and rushed towards Chonghua Hall.

It's just that, because I saw something going on inside, I just waited in the apse.

"Queen?"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen come back to his senses, a smile appeared on his face, but he seemed a little stiff.

After thinking about it, he took Empress Qian's hand, let her sit beside him, and conveniently stuffed the cushion he was leaning on behind her.

"sit……"

Seeing her husband like this, Empress Qian felt distressed for a while, sat down as she said, gently held his hand back, and said.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is here."

A simple sentence is more useful than anything else.

Zhu Qizhen held Queen Qian's hand tightly and didn't speak, but Queen Qian could feel that his mood was calming down.

The two sat like this for an unknown amount of time, Zhu Qi said calmly.

"Ruan Lang, I killed him!"

Empress Qian could feel that the hand that was holding her suddenly clenched. She felt sad, but she could only lean forward and comfort her.

"Eunuch Ruan is very loyal. He must be willing to die for His Majesty. The concubine has sent a letter to the eldest princess, asking the eldest princess to buy a piece of land outside and bury Eunuch Ruan alive."

"It is said that Eunuch Ruan still has a nephew in the family, and the concubine also entrusted the eldest princess to send someone to send gold and silver property to his family, which can be regarded as a token of affection."

So, Zhu Qizhen loosened his hands and said.

"You are thorough, I will listen to you."

While speaking, Zhu Qizhen looked outside the hall, where Zhu Yi and Meng Jun disappeared, and said.

"Queen, for the next few days, I'm afraid you will spend a hard time with me."

Hearing this, Empress Qian bit her lower lip, she hesitated a little, but in the end, she still couldn't hold back, and asked.

"Your Majesty, have you clashed with the Emperor again?"

She was originally a woman in the harem, and she didn't know much about the government affairs of foreign courts. However, during this period of time, Zhu Qizhen was very decadent, and Nangong relied on her to run the whole palace, so she was not unaware of some things.

From the bottom of her heart, Empress Qian didn't want Zhu Qizhen to fight against the emperor everywhere, but she also understood that there were some things that she couldn't stop.

Zhu Qizhen turned around, his eyes fell on Empress Qian, after a while, Fang sighed and said.

"Zhu Yi is right. In the current situation, it is the best policy to be patient and keep a low profile."

"I have understood this truth for a long time, and so have the people below. However, each of them has their own plans. Zhu Yi is the one who really dares to tell me so."

"I read him right, he is a loyal minister!"

This obviously meant a lot, but Empress Qian didn't think much about it.

On the contrary, she felt very happy. Her husband finally figured out that he was no longer against the emperor. It was a good thing that the family could live in harmony.

Blinking her eyes, Empress Qian smiled gently and said.

"It seems that this Zhu Yi is really a good minister. By the way, two days ago, the Wang family just sent two bolts of satin material as a tribute. How about rewarding him?"

Seeing her so happy, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Of course he knew that Empress Qian was very worried about him during these days, but there were some things that he couldn't help himself.

He already understood what Zhu Yi said.

However, the reason why Zhang Yu and others followed him was largely because of his signature as the Supreme Emperor, who could bring these people together to fight against the emperor who had been weakening the power of the old nobles.

So many times, even if he wants to give in, it is not so easy.

What's more, the relationship between him and the emperor is already delicate.

From what happened this time, it can be seen that even if he puts his flag down and just wants to live a peaceful life, the other party may not believe it, and will only test his bottom line step by step.

Therefore, even if you want to 'hide your strengths and bide your time', it takes time.

But having said that, thinking of what Zhu Yi did just now, fear flashed in his eyes again.

This young man may be loyal, but he is also ambitious!

Recalling the whole process of playing right just now, although Zhu Yi didn't say it clearly, how could Zhu Qizhen fail to hear that this kid was saying that Zhang Wei, Jiao Jing and others knew that Shu Liang was causing trouble, However, they did not dare to come out to stop them.

On the one hand, this is showing credit to himself, and on the other hand, it is also telling Zhu Qizhen that others are not loyal enough, only he dares to take this risk, and come to rescue Nangong under the attention of the government and the public.

This kid, he not only wants to get back the title, but also wants to reproduce the glory of Cheng Guogong's mansion, screw together all the nobles such as the British Duke's mansion, and become the talker of the entire old nobles again!
Such ambition is the reason why he dared to take risks many times...

However, ambition is a good thing, if you have no desires, how can you drive it?
Looking back, Zhu Qizhen smiled, patted Empress Qian's hand lightly, and said.

"Everything is up to the queen."

Only this sentence, nothing else to say.

He can take care of these troublesome things. Empress Qian has already paid enough for him, so there is no need to say it, it will only increase her worries.

…………

It wasn't until he was outside the hall, not far from the palace gate, that Meng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhu Yi with eyes full of admiration.

You know, the aura of the Supreme Emperor just now, if it was someone else, would have been so frightened that he could not speak. Calm down.

More importantly, he also helped him out of the siege and preserved his image in front of the Supreme Emperor. Naturally, he should try his best to make friends with such a character.

Cupping his hands and cupping his fists, Commander Meng spoke.

"Thank you for your help today. If there is no young master, under the wrath of the Supreme Emperor, Meng is afraid that he will really bring the imperial army to fight with that Shu Liang."

"But if this happens, the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. Brother's command of the imperial army is not easy to come by. Brother accepts this kind of love. If the little prince is useful in the future, brother will definitely go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate!"

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi flashed a smile in his eyes, but his face remained calm, and he replied.

"Brother Shi, what are you talking about? I think back then, the Meng family was also a well-known figure among nobles. When Meng Shibo was still there, your two families had a good relationship with each other, but later the court was busy, and they became estranged. But after all They are all of the same spirit, so why are they so divided?"

Speaking of which, the Meng family is actually an old team member of Prince Yan's Mansion, and their qualifications are extremely deep.

Meng Jun's grandfather, Meng Shan, was originally a Zhongwei Qianhu in Yanshan. He followed Taizong Emperor Jingnan, made many military exploits, and defended the city. time.

After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Marquis of Baoding and became a prominent family second only to several grand dukes.

However, although this old man Meng was brave and good at fighting, he gave birth to a son who did not live up to expectations. After his death, the eldest son Meng Ying, who was also Meng Jun's father Xijue, and the other sons were also sent to the army. work hard.

One of them was envious of the old man's achievements and wanted to follow suit, so he conspired to support Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui as the prince. After the incident, the entire Meng family was confiscated and imprisoned.

If it weren't for the merits of Mr. Meng's bloody battle, whether the Meng family can keep it is still a matter of opinion, but even if the punishment is not too severe in the end.

But in the end, the title of the Meng family was cut, the hereditary iron certificate was destroyed, and Meng Ying was dispatched to the frontier. It was not until the Xuande period that the first emperor thought of the merits of the Meng family before releasing him to the mainland and giving it to the commander of the left guard of the Yongqing Dynasty. Errands to do.

However, the Meng family has already changed from a family of marquis with bells and whistles to a family of ordinary generals who have committed crimes and performed meritorious deeds.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, the situation of Meng Jun and Zhu Yi is similar, they both want to do their best to repeat the lintel.

However, Meng Jun knew in his heart that he was not the best choice, whether it was riding and archery or mentality and resourcefulness. The only advantage he had was that he had been the emperor's guard and was loyal enough.

Therefore, Meng Juncai said that it was not easy for him to be the commander of Nangong.

At least, since he became the commander of the Nangong Palace, many honorable families who had no longer been in touch with each other before remembered the 'old friendship' again.

From this point of view, in fact, Meng Jun's hesitation at the gate of the palace was not unreasonable.

Arching his hands, Meng Jun said.

"Since that's the case, I won't be polite to you, brother. If you visit the door of your Cheng Guogong's mansion in the future and still look at the young prince, don't be disgusted."

"How could it be so?"

Zhu Yi returned a salute, also smiling.

"Brother Meng, don't worry, Duke Cheng's mansion is open, and you are welcome to visit Brother Meng at any time!"

So, in a short period of time, the two became like best friends, walking side by side towards the outside of the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Shu Liang was standing outside, chatting with Hu Wei casually.

In the end, after talking for a few words, he discovered that the old man had started to doze off.

Well, looking around, Shu Liang immediately noticed a lot of dark eyes. It seems that this great uncle still cherishes his wings.

In this kind of public, they don't want to have any deep friendship with him, an eunuch.

Forget it, Eunuch Shu didn't think that anyone could greet him with a smile, not to mention, for a person of Hu's status, it's his blessing to befriend him, and it's okay if he doesn't.

With his hands folded in front of him, Eunuch Shu squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, and stopped talking, quietly waiting for the final result of the matter.

Not long after, Zhu Yi came out from the inside, first cupped her hands at Hu Wei, then turned around and said to Shu Liang.

"Shu Gonggong, the Supreme Emperor has ordered Commander Meng to go and apprehend the other people. After a while, they will be sent out and handed over to Shu Gonggong."

"I don't know, is the father-in-law satisfied with such a result?"

When she said these words, Zhu Yi's tone was calm, but there was a hint of provocation in the words.

Seeing this situation, Shu Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face became thicker, but it made people feel chills for no reason.

I saw the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory with a smile on his face, and said.

"Young Lord is indeed the Supreme Emperor's confidant, and he can persuade the Supreme Emperor to change his mind. Our family admires him!"

While talking, Eunuch Shu took a deep look at Zhu Yi, as if he wanted to firmly remember his appearance at the moment, then he glanced at those prying eyes in the dark around him, and said.

"With the young master's words, our family has fulfilled His Majesty's will. In this case, I will trouble the young master to tell Commander Meng and ask him to work hard and send him to the imperial prison."

"Our family and Commander Lu are in Beizhen Fusi... waiting for you!"

There is nothing wrong with these words at first, but if you taste them carefully, you can find something strange in them.

The people Shu Liang wanted to take away this time were all servants of Nangong, who could make him use the words "waiting for you"?
Thinking about it this way, the threat behind these words is beyond words.

As a result, after these words were finished, Mr. Hu, who had always been half asleep, suddenly opened his eyes sharply, and looked straight at Shu Liang who was beside him.

However, the latter obviously didn't care, he cupped his hands with a smirk and walked away.

A turmoil disappeared.

On the carriage on the way back, Zhu Yi cupped her hands at Hu Wei and said.

"I would like to thank Father-in-Law for your help in today's matter. Otherwise, I am afraid that Eunuch Shu would have already done it before I could enter the gate of Nangong."

In fact, until now, every time Zhu Yi sees her father-in-law, Zhu Yi still has a feeling of being seen through.

In particular, from the moment he got into the carriage, Hu Yan has been looking at him with a thoughtful look, which makes him a little restless.

Hearing this, Hu Yan finally looked away and waved his hands.

"It has nothing to do with the old man. I went there just to give Na Shu Liang a step down. He is His Majesty's man, and he looks arrogant, but he will not lose his sense of propriety."

"Even if there is no me, if you go there, he will stop, but..."

At this point, the old man's voice stopped, which immediately made Zhu Yi's heart tighten.

However, there was nothing unusual about Hu Wei, he paused for a while, and continued.

"It's just that, after today, you can be regarded as really in the eyes of the government and the public. Originally, the old man thought that no matter what, I could help you get back the title."

"But now, since you have your own ideas, then you can do everything on your own, and the old man will not help you anymore."

These words are a bit heartless, but Zhu Yi knows the character of the old father-in-law.

Although he loves his daughter, there are some things that cannot be changed once a decision is made, so Zhu Yi didn't waste any useless words, but just apologized.

"It's my son-in-law who caused trouble for Mr. Yuezhang. Please rest assured, my son-in-law will be careful and will never make mistakes."

The carriage stopped leisurely, and the voice of someone outside came.

"Master, the Hu residence is here."

So, Hu Wei got up, and got out of the carriage with the help of his servants.

However, when he was about to get off the car, the old man still took a deep look at Zhu Yi, sighed, and said.

"Young master, please do it for yourself..."
