Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 847

In the Flower Hall of Ren Mansion, seeing Ren Shou's sudden actions, Zhu Yi seemed to be taken aback, and quickly grabbed Ren Shou's arm, trying to help him up.

"Young Master Ren, what are you doing, get up quickly, if there is any difficulty, I will definitely help if I can, there is no need to perform such a big gift."

However, Ren Shou shook his head, sank to the ground, refused to get up, gently pushed away Zhu Yi's supporting hand, and kowtowed.

"My lord, when the Ren family's catastrophe comes, it's their own fault. Whether it's ransacking the house to pick up plaques, or being exiled to the border, Ren is willing to admit punishment and dare not complain."

"However, Hong'er is the eldest grandson of the Ren family, and now he is seriously injured. Although Doctor Xia is skilled, if he travels a long distance to Tieling, this... will kill him!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yi probably guessed what Ren Shou was going to say next, frowned, he hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly.

"Young Master Ren, don't you mean to let the young master stay and take care of the old lady?"

According to the wishes of the emperor in the palace that day, considering that the old lady of the Ren family was over 80 years old and needed to be taken care of, Xu Renli left a son in Beijing and forgiven him.

Ren Li has four sons in total. If there is no accident, this candidate should fall on Ren Shou. After all, he is the eldest son of Ren Li.

but now……

Ren Shou nodded heavily and said.

"Grandpa, Ren knows that this matter is very difficult to handle, but now that the Ren family is in great trouble, and he is in danger. Only the Duke is willing to lend a helping hand. Ren really has no other choice, so he can only ask for help. Grandpa, please help, please help!"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Ren Shou will not say any more words of gratitude.

In the past, he could offer all kinds of generous gifts, but now, let alone these things, Cheng Guogong's government doesn't like them.

Strictly speaking, the current family property of the Ren family no longer belongs to him, only a small part of it, such as the dowry of the old lady of the Ren family and several elders, can still be used. No way.

"This……"

Zhu Yi was silent for a moment, hesitated, thought for a while, and then said.

"Master Ren, you should get up first and then talk."

Sighing, Zhu Yi tried to help Ren Shou up again. This time, Ren Shou didn't resist, got up and sat down on the chair.

Just now, it was to express one's will, but when the other party showed difficulties and still refused to get up, it became persecution.

The current situation of the Ren family, if it really angered the Duke of the country, if nothing else, he would walk away, which would be very bad news for the Ren family.

Seeing that Ren Shou didn't continue to kneel on the ground and insisted, Zhu Yi nodded slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said.

"Young Master Ren, it's not that I don't want to help, but that this matter is beyond my control!"

"Although it is said that what is written in the imperial decree now is that the Ren family can leave a descendant to support the elders, but when the elders of the cabinet drafted the decree, they made some changes for the sake of rigor."

"However, Mr. Ren has more or less heard about the scene in the palace that day. Your Majesty actually wants to stay in Beijing."

"Although I was able to save Ren's family temporarily today, I also hated Jin Yiwei. The matter of arresting people will be handled by Jin Yiwei in the end, so..."

After all, Ren Shou is a child of an aristocratic family, he naturally has this common sense.

Otherwise, he would not perform this great gift.

However, even though he knew it, hearing Zhu Yi's refusal, he still couldn't help a burst of despair, Ren Shou struggled with the last sliver of hope.

"That being said, however, the cabinet's proposal must ultimately be approved by His Majesty's Zhubi. Since His Majesty has acquiesced in this change, can't it be..."

"cannot!"

Before finishing speaking, Zhu Yi shook her head cruelly and said.

"Young Master Ren, you should understand that in order to demonstrate the emperor's benevolence, the cabinet will more or less modify the wording of this edict to announce the world. As long as it does not violate the emperor's original intention, the edict can be issued smoothly."

Hearing this, Ren Shou said anxiously.

"So, the emperor doesn't care who is left behind by my Ren family, so why can't..."

"Thank you for your kindness, is there any reason to bargain?"

Seeing that Ren Shou deceived herself, Zhu Yi had no choice but to speak out.

"For the Son of Heaven, it may just be a casual order to leave the eldest son to take care of the elders, even if another person stays, it doesn't matter."

"But, this is for the Son of Heaven!"

"Ren Hou invaded and occupied the army, intercepted and killed the tribute envoy, and committed many serious crimes, especially the assassination of Yu Qian, which was a taboo in the court. Leaving a son in Beijing to take care of him is already a mighty grace from heaven."

"The Ren family is a guilty body. If they still want to pick and choose and live up to the grace of God, they will only be regarded as ignorant of good and evil by the whole court and have no heart of gratitude. The so-called fear of power and virtue, the Ren family cannot cherish virtue , from the moment of coming to the prestige."

"If it really comes to this point, the emperor may even withdraw his grace if the court discusses it again, not to mention keeping the young master in Beijing."

"So, even if Zhu and the Holy Mother are willing to help you take care of the family, they can only follow the emperor's decree and make some supplements to get some money for your old lady so that the sky will be safe."

"But if you go against the holy will, even if it's just for the emperor, it's a huge risk for the Ren family today..."

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven.

The emperor granted amnesty in the imperial decree. Although it said that the family property was confiscated, the specific rules still need to be refined during the implementation. Therefore, the Queen Mother Sun can make a decree to leave a little money for the Ren family. It is also a supplementary explanation to the emperor's pardon for the old lady of Renfu.

Although this supplement may not be the intention of the Son of Heaven, it does not violate the general direction. Therefore, in the case of the decree, no one will say anything more in the face of the Holy Mother.

However, letting Ren Li leave a son to take care of him in Beijing is the emperor's golden words. Although it has not been reflected in the official decree, the decree is still a decree. With so many people present, it must not be violated.

Zhu Yi said these words with a bitter heart.

To put it bluntly, he himself didn't care. After all, he had a title of knighthood, and behind him was a group of relatives such as the British government, so he was reprimanded.

However, the price of this matter is unbearable for the Ren family who have come to the end of the road.

"Grandpa, please save Hong'er!"

At this moment, an old voice came from behind the screen.

Hearing this, Ren Shou immediately stood up, and then, with the help of a maid, the old lady of the Ren family came out slowly behind the screen with a big crutch.

After seeing the person coming, Zhu Yi also stood up from the chair.

"Grandma, you are not in good health yet, why..."

Ren Shou hurried forward, cupped his hands at the old lady, and expressed his concern.

However, the old lady of the Ren family just smiled and said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, this little fight won't frighten me!"

While talking, she took two steps forward, came in front of Zhu Yi, bowed slightly, and said.

"I have seen Duke Cheng."

Zhu Yi accepted the salute, and then bowed her hands in return, saying.

"Old lady, you don't have to be polite."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yi paused for a moment, and asked hesitantly.

"I don't know what the old lady meant just now?"

"My lord, please keep Hong'er!"

Although the old lady of the Ren family is over 80 years old, she has clear eyes and ears, and she speaks clearly. After hearing Zhu Yi's question, she repeated it again, and continued.

"You don't have to worry about the Duke, I know that this move may offend His Majesty, but the Ren family has fallen to such a point, no matter how bad it is, it won't be too bad."

"Hong'er is the most outstanding among the juniors of the Ren family. Although he is not capable of fighting in the battlefield like his grandfather, he is good at reading, and he is pure and filial. He is a good boy."

"The Ren family has fallen to this point. If there is any hope in the future, it will be in this child. If you can't keep him, it's meaningless to live in this capital. It's better for the whole family to be exiled to Tieling to guard the border."

"Even if we die on the road, no matter what, we are always together..."

"This……"

Seeing the resolute look of the old lady of the Ren family, Zhu Yi hesitated for a while, and turned her eyes to Ren Shou who was aside.

At this time, it was obvious why Ren Shou was so old that he couldn't even get an official position. Facing the words of the old lady of the Ren family, he struggled for a moment and opened his mouth.

"Grandma, isn't this matter too risky, or else, think of another way..."

It should be said that Ren Shou sincerely wanted to save his son, otherwise, he would not kneel down to Zhu Yi, and would rather give up the possibility of staying in the capital and give it to his son.

However, when Zhu Yi mentioned the risks involved, he was shaken.

"Confused!"

Before she finished speaking, the old lady of the Ren family raised the crutch in her hand and smashed it heavily on the ground, looking at her cowardly grandson with a look of hatred for iron and steel, said.

"What time is it, and I still want to have a safe solution. The Ren family has already fallen to such a point, what qualifications are there to talk about it?"

"I'm an old man, but I still have a few more years to live. If Hong'er is kept, the Ren family will have a future. Do you understand?"

This old lady obviously had a lot of prestige in the Ren family, after a few words of reprimand, Ren Shou immediately shrank back, not daring to speak any more.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi sighed and said.

"The old lady insists on this, so Zhu will help the Ren family again. However, it is still the same sentence. This matter is finalized by the emperor's golden words. If it is easier, you must not report it directly, otherwise you will offend the emperor. , and the second will also make the government and the public discuss it, which will be detrimental to the Ren family."

"I know that this matter is difficult, but please ask the Duke to think of a way."

The old lady of the Ren family bowed and bowed again, immediately causing a wry smile to appear on Zhu Yi's face, after a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke.

"Since this is the case, then Zhu Mou does have a solution, but this method may require some hardship for the young master, and even so, Zhu Mou dare not say that he is [-]% sure, old lady..."

"Listen to the arrangement of the Duke!"

Before Zhu Yi finished speaking, the old lady of the Ren family nodded and said.

"Don't worry, Lord Guo. It's a great favor for you to help. As for whether it will be successful or not, it depends on God's will. Regardless of whether it will be successful in the end, everyone in the family will be grateful for the kindness of Lord Guo."

"Now, in this huge Marquis Mansion, there is nothing to thank the Duke of the State for, except that I still have some items that I have saved over the years. With the intention of the Holy Mother, these things will not be confiscated. If the Duke of the State does not dislike it, the old man You can donate all these items to the Duke as a gift, as a token of gratitude."

"Old lady, that's not what Zhu meant..."

The wry smile on Zhu Yi's face became stronger, but the attitude of the old lady of the Ren family was just as resolute, said.

"Master, please don't refuse. Although the Ren family has declined, there is still a way of hospitality. The Lord has a great favor to the Ren family. It is difficult to repay anything. If you refuse to accept the resignation, the Ren family will still be grateful." Grandpa Guo is kind enough to help, but with regard to Hong'er, I can only figure out a solution by myself."

This……

Zhu Yi sighed, finally no longer refuse, said.

"I'll talk about this later, let me talk about my own way first."

"If you want to save the young master, you can't do it for no reason. Therefore, you need a reason, a reason that can convince the government and the public. If you have more time, maybe Zhu can find other ministers and relatives to help talk. But now time is running out, Zhu can only delay for a few more days at most, Jin Yiwei will definitely come to arrest people again, so if you want to save the young master, the only chance is..."

"However, the young master was seriously injured just now, and his ribs were broken. Even if Dr. Xia's bone-setting skills are excellent, he can't walk around for ten days and a half months. Therefore, if this method is to be followed, the young master must The suffering is not small."

"Moreover, once this matter is done, it must be done. If you give up halfway, it will have the opposite effect, so please be careful, old lady!"

"Don't think about it, Hong'er can do it!"

Compared with Ren Shou, the old lady of the Ren family was obviously more decisive and determined. After listening to Zhu Yi's method, she agreed without blinking an eye, and turned her head to give instructions to the maid beside her.

"Go to the wing room and ask Dr. Xia. After the bone is set, he will prescribe a dose of refreshing soup for the young master. Drink it down. Before tonight, the young master must wake up!"

You know, for a normal broken bone, you have to stay in bed for at least a few days, and the coma after bone setting is actually the body's self-protection and recovery.

However, judging from what the old lady meant, she wanted to forcibly wake up Ren Hong after the bone grafting. This kind of heart is not hard.

At this time, Ren Shou at the side felt a little distressed, said.

"Grandmother, don't you need to be so anxious, there will be time to wake Hong'er up tomorrow..."

However, after saying these words, it was still the old lady of the Ren family's eyes who got it, she snorted softly and said.

"Tomorrow? What if something unexpected happens then?"

"The old man bet all the Ren family members on this, to fight for Hong'er, but he himself lay down peacefully?"

"It doesn't make sense. He is the hope of the Ren family. At this time, if he can't do it, he must do it. Otherwise, the Ren family will follow him!"

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi also sighed, since the other party has reached such a level, he naturally couldn't continue to refuse, so he had to say.

"Since the old lady has this determination, Zhu will enter the palace again for the old lady."

"Thank you, Lord..."

The old lady of the Ren family finally let go of her hanging heart, bowed her body and saluted, and said.

"I'm old and not talented. I have sent someone to sort out the few things I just mentioned. If the Duke leaves today, he can take them away."
