Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 839 Old things
"Daddy..."

Hearing this voice, Yu Juying was suddenly pleasantly surprised, leaving behind the nagging Yu Shiyue in front of her, turned around and ran towards Yu Qian who was already at the gate.

Kankan stopped in front of her father, Yu Juying went up and down, looked carefully, and then she was relieved, and said angrily with her mouth puffed out.

"Daddy temporarily sent a letter to let my daughter go home without saying what it was, so that my daughter could worry..."

"It's nothing, I just miss you."

In front of Yu Yingying, Yu Qian showed a rare look of kindness, and also looked up and down at his little daughter. Seeing that her eyebrows and eyes were smooth, and her personality was as lively as usual, Yu Qian was relieved. Patted on, he opened his mouth and said.

"Your eldest brother and second brother are waiting for you later. Go and talk to them. We will have dinner together as a family later."

"Yes……"

Yu Yuying, Yu Mian, and Yu Kang's elder brothers may not have seen each other for a long time, and she misses them in her heart. Moreover, she is very smart, knowing that Yu Bobo must have something to say to his father when he comes to visit, so she nodded, He bowed to Yu Qian and Yu Shiyue who was in the distance, and then hurried into the gate of the mansion.

However, she didn't notice that Yu Shiyue, who was originally smiling when she saw the reunion of their father and daughter in the distance, turned serious because of her inadvertent words.

Watching Yu Yuying's figure disappear into the mansion, Yu Qian turned his head, looked at Yu Shiyue, his face calmed down, and said with a smile.

"Brother Shi Chao, what about the study?"

"it is good!"

In the study of Yufu, the two sat opposite each other, a wisp of purple smoke curled up from the incense burner, it was quiet and far away, Yu Shiyue frowned slightly with a dignified expression, while Yu Qian was smiling, as if nothing happened, taking care of himself He poured two cups of tea, and put a cup in front of Yu Shiyue and himself.

After a while, Yu Qian finally spoke first and said.

"Brother Shi Chao, after so many years, you don't want to see Ye Ying every time, just like this, the reason why your two families are not married, you should know better than Ye Ying."

"At the beginning, Yu Mou remembered Shi Chao's brother's kindness in his heart, but after all, it has been so many years. Every time you and You Ying meet, you always make fun of her. This child is too thin-skinned, so he will inevitably think too much. of."

Yu Shiyue glanced at Yu Qian, his expression moved slightly, and he hummed softly.

"Why, Yu Shaobao is now an extremely human minister, is he afraid that the old man will seek retribution for his kindness?"

"This……"

Yu Qian smiled wryly, pushed the teacup forward, and said.

"Brother Shi Chao, you know that I don't mean that."

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Yu Shiyue's expression improved a lot, he sighed, and said.

"The marriage at that time was certainly intended to deceive others, but I really liked the child, Ju Ying. I was telling the truth. She married into my house. If nothing else, she would definitely not be wronged. And Under the circumstances at that time, even if we got married, we would not be criticized by others, but you have a stubborn temper, hmph..."

Of course, it is impossible for the two governments to get married.

Although it is said that Yu Shiyue and Yu Qian are close friends, the age at which the two children should discuss marriage is that one is the Minister of the Ministry of War and the other is the Minister of Dali Temple. Moreover, they are still young and have a bright future in the court.

If this kind of relationship is said to be married again, it will inevitably be discussed as forming a party for personal gain. This is a risk that neither he nor Yu Qian will take.

Above the court, the relationship between in-laws is very cautious. Generally speaking, the best choice for civil servants to get married is the noble general.

Although it is said that civil and military battles in the court are usually life and death, but no matter how the battle is fought, the foundation of the noble title of the century-old noble family is there.

Having a title passed down from generation to generation is the most secure place, so if you want to marry your daughter, honor is the best choice.

Moreover, people will not be discussed about forming a party, and even if they are impartial and selfless in the case of an in-law relationship, they will be praised instead.

The second is the marriage between civil servants. However, under normal circumstances, they will not marry their peers. Young talents who have just won the Jinshi and have no roots in Beijing are the best choice.

One is that they can protect each other, and the other is that their identities are too different, so they will not be criticized.

Of course, because most people are not too young when they become Jinshi, so there are not many such cases.

If we really want to talk about the marriage of civil servants, then the most common situation is to marry a minister who has already retired or is about to retire, which is a good family and will not be criticized.

Whether it is marrying a wife or a daughter, this kind of scholarly family with someone who used to be an official is the best choice.

Like marriages of the same generation, either the two families had an agreement since childhood, or when they got married, the official positions of both families were not high.

For example, Yu Qian and Yu Shiyue are already important ministers of one party, and when they discuss marriages for their own children, they basically don't consider people of the same generation. If they really appear, it can only mean that one of them is about to retire soon .

Of course, Yu Shiyue is clear about this point. The reason why he released this news at that time was because of an old incident at that time.

At that time, not long after Yu Qian entered the court, he had an upright temperament and soon offended Wang Zhen. Under Wang Zhen's instigation, Wang Xi, the general manager, deliberately framed him, saying that he was resentful and nepotism, so Yu Qian was soon sent to prison awaiting trial.

At that time, Wang Zhen was very powerful, and there were many people in Afu. Yu Qian was imprisoned, and many of them were people who fell into trouble.

Under such circumstances, Yu Shiyue came to the mansion repeatedly, revealing that he wanted to get married, and his intention was nothing more than to deter those young people, don't think that Yu's family has no backing, and they are people who can be bullied.

As for later, the news of Yu Qian's imprisonment spread, and the people in Shanxi, Henan and other places where he used to work wrote letters one after another, and the letters of Wanmin were handed over to the emperor.

The two parties just found a reason for this marriage, so they didn't mention it anymore.

Seeing Yu Shiyue's indignant look, Yu Qian was also quite helpless, said.

"Brother Shi Chao's love for helping others at the beginning was always in Yu's heart, but at that time, since Yu had already hated Wang Zhen, and he would be framed again at some point, how dare he drag Shi Chao into the water?"

"What's more, brother Shi Chao has a noble character and is not a person who takes kindness and self-respect. Yu Mou is naturally aware of this, but if he really gets married, people who don't know the truth will inevitably talk about brother Shi Chao's impure intentions. With good intentions, I act out of righteousness."

"If brother Shi Chao's reputation is damaged because of this, how can Yu bear it?"

Both of them understood this truth in their hearts and said it many times, but every time, Yu Shiyue would be so angry that he would say the sentence that had been said countless times.

"I think you just dislike Qin Yu's ordinary appearance, but fortunately, Ye Ying didn't marry. This bastard is simply reckless. If he can't be successful, he knows how to take a concubine."

"It's only been a few years since I got married, and I've already taken in the seventh concubine. When I go back today, the old man will definitely beat him up!"

Yu Qian didn't speak.

No matter how good the relationship is, the other party's family affairs are not easy to discuss.

In fact, he also understands that every time Yu Shiyue sees Yu Yuying, he will bring up this matter. In fact, he is not worried about the marriage, but is angry at his useless son.

Yu Qian's family style is strict. Under the background that scholars and bureaucrats generally take concubines, only Yu Qian has only his wife in his family and does not have any concubines. Although Yu Shiyue has a concubine, he has never been obsessed with beauty.

But Yu Shiyue's son, Yu Qinyu, is most obsessed with beauty. He lingered in Qinlou and Chuguan at a young age. Later, he married a daughter-in-law. She managed the family well, but she was soft-tempered and couldn't control her husband. The concubines carried them to the mansion one by one, to make Yu Shiyue angry, basically scolding them once they saw each other.

Because of this, every time he saw Yu Yuying, Yu Cifu couldn't help thinking, if he married such a strict daughter-in-law, would Yu Qinyu be able to restrain his temper and stop doing anything wrong.

As a result, this also resulted in that every time Yu Yuying came back to visit relatives, as long as Yu Shiyue saw her, she would first ask her about her health, and then when she turned around and went back to her house, she would beat her son up.

As a result, this eldest son of the Yu family was often beaten for no reason and didn't know why he was beaten...

After scolding his son for a while, Yu Cifu finally calmed down, picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and asked with his eyes on Yu Qian who was silent in front of him.

"I was outside just now, and I heard from You Ying that you sent a message to call her back, but... what happened?"

Yu Qian groaned, but didn't answer right away.

So, Yu Shiyue asked further, and said.

"Is it related to what happened in the temple?"

A sigh sounded, Yu Qian squeezed the teacup in his hand, nodded slightly, and said.

"Brother Shi Chao, I'm afraid, I'm going to go to Beijing! This time, the time will not be short!"

Yu Shiyue was taken aback.

"Going out of Beijing? What are you doing?"

"Rectify the army station!"

Yu Qian spit out a few words lightly, with an indomitable momentum in his tone.

Yu Shiyue blinked, and said, as if you don't lie to me.

"Because of the affairs of the vassal kings of various places? But, hasn't His Majesty already entered Beijing with Prince Xuanyi and his son?"

"What's more, King Xiang is now banned from ten palaces. After everything is found out, there must be follow-up punishment."

"In addition, there are King Dai and King Min who set an example for the clan. After King Min takes over as Da Zongzheng, he will definitely also be on this matter..."

"Brother Shi Chao, you are wrong!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Qian shook his head and interrupted him.

Seeing Yu Shiyue's bewildered look, Yu Qian sighed, hesitated for a moment, and recounted the scene where he and the emperor were right about King Yi.

"... After I came out of the palace, I went to the Ministry of Rites to meet Uncle Da Zong, and then I got the news that His Majesty is going to build another palace in Beijing. At that time, I felt something in my heart."

"Later, when I returned to the Ministry of War, I just received the official document from the prefect of Wugang, and then I got the news that Zongxue students gathered outside the gate of the palace, and the king of Min beat Dengwen drum and played to the king of Xiang."

"In this way, I am convinced of my own thoughts."

"Ting Yi, wait a minute, this...why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen!"

Yu Cifu stared with ignorant eyes, as if he couldn't understand.

"Your Majesty has repeatedly attacked Zong and Vassal, isn't it just helping you to straighten out the army? What's more, you didn't say it, Your Majesty may not allow you to leave Beijing..."

"This moment, that moment!"

Yu Qian shook his head and said.

"At that time, I invited myself out of Beijing to solve the matter of Yi Wang. Yi Fan has always been domineering, and there must be thunderous means to deter him."

"However, in this way, firstly, the influence will be too great, which will cause turmoil in the court, and secondly...it will easily cause the clan to backlash, and His Majesty may not be able to keep me."

At this point, Yu Qian's expression was a little complicated, but after a while, he regained his composure and continued.

"So, His Majesty summoned King Yi to the capital. In this way, as long as King Yi is in Beijing, Yifan can naturally be organized smoothly, just like King Xiang today."

"But……"

Yu Shiyue nodded, this is indeed the truth.

Leaving aside the Min Fan who has always been devoted to the imperial court and the Dai Fan who was persuaded somehow, the biggest reason why the problem of Xiang Fan can be solved smoothly is actually because King Xiang is no longer in Xiangyang, but is in the capital.

Because he is not in Xiangyang, the local resistance has been reduced a lot, and the news has also been received very slowly. More importantly, it is relatively convenient and easy for the emperor to question the crime.

Combined with Yu Qian's performance just now, Yu Shiyue finally understood, her complexion was a little heavy, and she asked.

"You mean... it's over?"

Yu Qian nodded and said.

"That's right, His Majesty let King Min take charge of the Clan Mansion, which is a clear proof!"

"Although King Min is old enough, the matter of his brother's quarreling was not the fault of King Min, but after all, he has shortcomings in the clan, and his character is good at sleeves, so he is not someone who can offend the clan wholeheartedly. Tweet Appeasement is available, but if you want to deal with it with thunder, it is not allowed."

"Prince Min's temperament, oh..."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Yu Shiyue had to admit that after contacting these two cases, King Min was good at scheming and guessing people's hearts, but he lacked the courage to go forward.

On the surface, from the very beginning, King Min confronted his two brothers in the hall, then punched King Xiang, pleaded guilty outside the Meridian Gate, and now beat the drum to sue King Xiang.

One after another, it seems to be done impulsively, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that no matter what it is, King Min has prepared in advance.

Moreover, judging from his behavior since he entered Beijing, King Min is only cruel to those who are completely on the opposite side of him, but he is not the kind of person who can spare the courage to offend many people.

If there is no accident, the emperor asked him to be the Da Zongzheng because he should have valued his long-sleeved ability to handle the relationship between the clan and the court well.

However, King Min couldn't solve the problem of the military colony, which was related to the core interests and required a tough conflict, and he probably didn't want to get involved.

Now the land occupied by Xungui has almost been resolved. As long as this piece of meat can be gouged out from the vassal king's body, it will be a big deal to straighten out the army.

But if you can't rely on the clan mansion, then you can only...
