Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 882 Yu Qian leaves Beijing
It should be said that no matter when and where, the power of the state apparatus is unparalleled.

Although the earthquake came swiftly and violently, fortunately, there were almost no aftershocks. In addition, the imperial court was well prepared, and the Son of Heaven took care of everything. Under this pressure, all the yamen broke out with extremely high efficiency. .

In just a few days, there were basically no homeless victims in the capital. The yamen officers of Shuntian Prefecture and the Wucheng Army and Horse Division were still patrolling the streets, and various vendors and merchants gradually began to patrol the streets. Business resumed.

Except for the porridge sheds and disaster relief sites built in the capital, as well as the collapsed houses, the capital has returned to its former prosperity, and there are not many traces of disaster.

Of course, the desertion on the street is certain, but to be able to achieve this step, it is already considered that the court has done its best.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and although it was almost August, it was still very hot.

The difference from the past is that today's city gate is very lively. A team of officers and soldiers composed of hundreds of people is neatly arranged outside the city gate. In the middle is a carriage, and there are two people in the front and the front. There are eight followers and dozens of attendants, holding an apricot-yellow umbrella, two golden sticks, and two large and small green fans.

Behind the carriage, there are eight green flags, four flying tiger flags, four apricot and yellow flags, and eight flag guns. Dang, in addition to this, there are many officials in red robes and green robes outside the city gate, who are very ostentatious and powerful.

In addition to the officials of the Ministry of War, there are also some military officials of the military government. The three ministers in red robes at the forefront are Yu Qian, Minister of War, Shen Yi, Minister of Household, and Yu Shiyue, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Looking at the huge team in front of her, Yu Shiyue smiled bitterly, looked at Yu Qian, and said.

"Yu Shaobao, acting in such a high profile is not like your style!"

When the imperial government is sent to Beijing, it is natural to have a guard of honor.

However, in the past, it was not that Yu Qian did not go out of Beijing with an order, but not once did he use such a huge team.

Even the last time he patrolled the border, he went with a light car.

For nothing else, it's too flamboyant!
Yu Qian's identity is unusual. He himself is a first-rank lesser security guard, and he can use the honor guard of a first-rank Beijing official.

In addition, when he left Beijing this time, he also carried the flag of the king's life given by the emperor, and also had a corresponding guard of honor.

After this set, the team of this honor guard can almost be compared to Wang Jia.

This is not to mention. Since the guard of honor was used, it is naturally impossible that no one will come to see him off. Especially when the news of the Wang Mingqi card came out, Yu Qian's trip even sparked all kinds of speculation. Officials, as many as hundreds.

So, just outside the city gate, there is the current scene.

This made Yu Shiyue, who only wanted to come to see him off in a low-key manner, naturally felt bitter smiles.

However, Yu Qian was very calm, said.

"The purpose of this time to go out to Beijing is to do official business. If it is easy to follow, it will be a loss for the dignity of the court."

I didn't see you say that when you were on tour...

However, there are benefits too.

At least there are so many official guards, and what happened last time will not be repeated easily.

Restraining his smile, Yu Shiyue said.

"Yu Shaobao went to Beijing this time, shouldering heavy responsibilities, and local affairs are complicated. I hope Shaobao can take good care of it and don't act recklessly."

In the past few days, Yu Shiyue has been thinking about the conversation between himself and Yu Qian. For some reason, he always felt that Yu Qian had not told him anything.

Although he didn't know what it was, he could vaguely sense from it that Yu Qian's trip was bound to be extremely dangerous, so he naturally had to ask two more words.

Yu Qian still had a faint expression, and bowed his hands.

"Thank you Lord Cifu for your concern. Since you serve the imperial court, you should do your best."

Seeing this situation, Yu Shiyue sighed, knowing that persuasion was in vain, she could only helplessly nodded and said.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey and success! The old man is here in the capital, waiting for good news!"

"Borrow the words of the Second Assistant Lord!"

Yu Qian bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Afterwards, he did not leave directly, but turned his attention to Shen Yi who was beside him.

Although there were many people who came to see them off this time, most of them were officials below the third rank if we didn't talk about the military officials and just looked at the civil officials.

Those of the third rank and above, except for the two servants of the Ministry of War, the rest of the ministries, courtyards, temples, and prisons are basically the Langguan or Zuo Erguan.

In addition to Yu Shiyue, Shen Yi was the only one who could really be regarded as an important minister.

It's not that Yu Qian's popularity in the imperial court is not good, but that on such occasions, what should be avoided should be avoided.

There are many officials in the capital, and there are naturally rules for ushering in this kind of thing.

The chief officials of various yamen go out to greet them, which is a treatment only available to the emperor when he is on tour, and even the prince does not have this qualification.

If these high-ranking officials of the imperial court really came, it would be uncertain whether Yu Qian would be able to get out of Beijing this time.

At the same time, one of the court ministers who came to see them off would not have any good fruit to eat.

In fact, this kind of pomp is already very big.

An ordinary imperial mission to Beijing is basically an official in his own yamen, plus some old friends from the court to see him off, that's all.

But this time Yu Qian left Beijing, officials from all the yamen, from the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Court, the Five Army Governor's Mansion, to other temples, prisons, Shuntian Mansion, and Wucheng Military and Horse Division, basically had officials to see them off, and even from each family. Xungui, there are also quite a few people sent over.

Although these people's rank is not high and their status is not obvious, but they are able to show up, they represent a lot of themselves, but the attitude of the important ministers behind them.

If this specification goes up, it is not a farewell, it is harmful!
Now Yu Qian is deeply trusted by the emperor and has great power in his hands. They sent people here to form a good relationship, not to offend people.

So on this occasion, Shen Yi's appearance seemed very strange.

Yu Shiyue is because of her deep friendship with Yu Qian, and the court is very clear about this. When Yu's family was in danger several times, Yu Shiyue ran around to help.

He came to see him off, as it should be, more out of personal friendship.

But Shen Yi...

"Yu Shaobao, it is difficult and complicated to rectify the military camp, and the situation in various places is changeable. If you go out of Beijing, I am afraid that you will have to work hard for less security."

Facing Qian's gaze, Shen Shangshu opened his mouth with a smile.

However, the other party did not answer his words, just looked at him quietly, seeing this situation, the smile on Shen Yi's face froze, then he rubbed his hands and said.

"This is the important policy of the imperial court. Your Majesty has already ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household to cooperate with each other. When Yu Shaobao leaves the capital this time, the Ministry of Household will also help, so this official thinks that when Yu Shaobao arrives at the locality, he will definitely There are a lot of account liquidation matters, and local officials are often deceived and deceived, and they may not be easy to use. Therefore, this official specially transferred a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Household, and went out of Beijing with Shaobao, and hoped for Shaobao Don't despise it."

While speaking, Shen Yi waved to the side and said.

"Zhu Ang, come here to meet Yu Shaobao!"

So, a young official with a burden stepped forward and bowed his hands.

"Xiaguan Zhu Ang, I met Yu Shaobao!"

Looking at Zhu Ang, who had already packed his bags in front of him, Yu Qian frowned, a little puzzled.

He knew this person. Among the Henan Siro of the Ministry of Housing, he was good at accounting. He was known as the golden abacus of the Ministry of Household, and he was a good hand under Shen Yi.

As for the shortcomings, he is a dull person and is very unsophisticated. If it is not for his ability to sort out complicated accounts, he may not be able to get along in the Ministry of Household.

"Shen Shangshu, are you?"

"I just think about Yu Shaobao's lack of people, so I want to help me if I can help, nothing else. Yu Shaobao doesn't have to worry about transferring orders. This officer will discuss with Otsuka Zai."

The implication is that this is first cut and then played?

Yu Qian glanced at Shen Yi suspiciously, and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Not to mention that this is about to leave the capital soon, what is this guy trying to do when he suddenly shoves a person here, just to say this behavior of directly smuggling people without dispatching orders is not in line with Shen Yi's approach.

This Shen Shangshu seems to be smiling every day, but in fact, he is in the Ministry of Household and is in charge of the world's finances, so he is the most cautious.

How could he do such a blatant violation of the process and be impeached?

And, still so much fanfare!

You must know that a household boss, the official position is not big, but it is not small, the first minister of the household is the second servant, and the bottom is the thirteen Shilangzhong.

Among the chief clerks, it seems that the official position is not obvious, but in fact, he is in charge of the tribute, salary, salt class, banknote customs and other affairs of a province, and the responsibilities are really not light.

In particular, Zhu Ang himself was the most powerful person by Shen Yi's side.

What do you mean by sending him here at this time?
After pondering for a moment, Yu Qian shook his head and said.

"It's not right. This time, when Yu is out of Beijing, he has brought with him someone who is good at accounting. Zhu Ang is the boss of the household and has a heavy responsibility.

"What's more, without the decree of the Son of Heaven, how can..."

However, halfway through the words, Yu Qian stopped, as if he had thought of something.

Looking up again, he saw Shen Shangshu looking at him with a bitter look on his face, said.

"My Yu Shaobao, how can the people around you compare with Zhu Ang? He is the golden abacus of the Ministry of Households. No matter how complicated the accounts are, it will be a matter of time for a cup of tea to get into his hands."

"Besides, you know his character. If he does practical things, he is not false. He will definitely only help you and not cause trouble for you. You can take him with you."

"Just... just treat me as a favor. This time, Shen owes you a favor, will it work?"

Yu Qian looked at Shen Yi like this and didn't speak.

After a while, he turned his head, passed Shen Yi, and asked Zhu Ang who was behind him.

"This official asks you, why did Shen Shangshu send you here?"

"is for……"

Zhu Ang blinked, and without any hesitation, opened his mouth and said.

However, Yu Qian interrupted him as soon as he said a few words.

"What this official dislikes the most in his life is the person who pretends to flatter and deceives people.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhu Ang's face turned a little red, but he didn't speak for a while, and looked at his Master Shang Shu at a loss.

Seeing this situation, Shen Yi gave him a wink desperately, but after pity on him for a long time, Zhu Ang just didn't understand what he meant.

At this moment, Yu Shiyue, who was beside him, pretended to say.

"Oh, it's getting late, Yu Shaobao, if you don't set off again, I'm afraid you will delay your journey and won't be able to make it to the inn, so set off quickly, don't waste time."

Although he was talking to Yu Qian, Shen Yi couldn't help clenching his back molars when he heard the words in his words.

Looking at Zhu Ang's innocent face, trying to understand what he meant, Shen Shangshu was even more angry, and all the things he taught before he dared to come here were all in vain!

Glancing at Zhu Ang angrily, Shen Yi said angrily.

"Look at what I do, Yu Shaobao asks you, tell the truth!"

"Oh……"

So, Zhu Langzhong nodded, looked at Yu Qian and said sincerely.

"Master Shang Shu said that the local officials are used to being free and easy, and they must not be willing to obediently cooperate with the court's major policies. This time Yu Shaobao left Beijing, since he brought the Wang Ming flag, he must have a big fight. In addition to killing people, he must also raid his home. ."

"These people are very fat, and they must have a lot of property. In order to prevent Jin Yiwei from sending all the confiscated silver taels into His Majesty's inner treasury, I asked the lower official to follow Yu Shaobao and write down these account books. , after returning to Beijing, he is good..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

I have to say that Zhu Ang is so talented, but after so many years in the Ministry of Households, he is still just an ordinary man. It is not without reason.

Although Shen Yi said it and told him to tell the truth, what he said was too truthful...

Seeing that this guy really didn't hold the door at all, Shen Yi hurriedly stopped, and a trace of cold sweat oozes from his forehead.

With a deep sigh, Shen Shangshu suddenly had some doubts, whether it was the right decision to send such a stupefied man over there.

But this is the end, there is no other way.

Forcing himself to pretend that what just happened didn't exist, Shen Yi looked up at Yu Qian, coughed twice, and said sternly.

"Yu Shaobao, rectifying the military colony is a major policy, and it cannot be ignored, so it is better to be safe. Let Zhu Ang go with you. It is also good to have a little more control, what do you think?"

Looking at Shen Yi who was working hard to restore his image, Yu Qian couldn't help laughing.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded and said.

"Since Shen Shangshu insists, it's okay to let him go out of Beijing with this official."

Speaking of which, Yu Qian didn't mention anything about the imperial edict.

Although it is reasonable to say that officials like Zhu Ang who go out to Beijing must have an imperial decree, but with Shen Yi's character, since he dares to take people out, I am afraid that he has already obtained the required imperial decree. , or at least, with the permission of the Son of Heaven.

If that's the case, it's okay to take it with you.

"Thank you Yu Shaobao!"

Seeing this situation, Shen Yi finally opened his eyes and smiled. Seeing this, he almost wanted to jump up and give Yu Qian a hug. Fortunately, he was an important court official after all, so he wouldn't really be so rude, but even so, Shen Yi said.

"Don't worry, Yu Shaobao, this time, the Ministry of Household owes you a favor. If there is an opportunity in the future, the Ministry of Household will definitely return it."

Yu Qian didn't speak, he just breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the ministers who came to see him off, and said.

"Everyone, it's getting late, this official takes a step ahead and bids farewell!"

After that, he turned around and got into the carriage, and the mighty team set off, attracting the attention of countless people. Looking at the long team, everyone couldn't help but feel a feeling.

Yu Qian's trip, I'm afraid it is destined to be difficult, with swords and swords...
