Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 914

Facing the words of admiration or sarcasm, Zhu Jian said without any disturbance.

"It's a common practice for the Hanlin Academy to concurrently serve as an official in Zhan Shi's Mansion. However, because the emperor suppressed Qingliu and refused to prepare all the officials in the Prince's Mansion, the current situation came about."

"Chen Xun, as the leader of Qingliu, dare not fight. This old man is just helping him."

"What's more, you and I know it well, and the entire court knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is the country's treasury, assisting His Highness the Crown Prince, enriching the East Palace, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, Mr. Ge is right!"

Zhu Yi also smiled and said.

"In the past, the emperor always used the overall situation of the court as an excuse to suppress the Supreme Emperor, but how can the Eastern Palace Reserve be ignored?"

"It is also reasonable to stabilize the East Palace!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I will truthfully report the conversation tonight to the Supreme Emperor."

"Then thank you, my lord."

Looking at Zhu Yi's leaving back, Xu Youzhen frowned, still thinking about the deep look she gave him when Zhu Yi left just now.

He always felt that there was a sense of ridicule and pity in that look...

"Ming Gong, this..."

Until Zhu Yi's figure completely disappeared outside the gate of the mansion, and the two returned to the flower hall, Xu Youzhen asked.

Although Zhu Jian briefly explained the reason for Zhu Yi's visit when he first came here, Xu Youzhen always felt that there was something hidden.

Now that Zhu Yi left, he dared to ask questions.

Zhu Jian thought he knew what Xu Youzhen wanted to ask, sighed heavily, and said.

"What the old man said just now is the truth. The Duke of the State has indeed come here on the order of the Supreme Emperor."

As he spoke, Zhu Jian's expression became a little complicated, said.

"The emperor brought His Highness the Crown Prince out of the palace earlier, which made the Supreme Emperor feel very uneasy. He felt that there were only Liang Fang and other eunuchs around His Highness. Although they were loyal, they were useless."

"Therefore, the old man ordered us to step up and enrich the East Palace. At least we must choose some officials who can protect His Highness the Crown Prince, so that there will be no more incidents of leaving the palace casually."

"Of course, this matter is difficult to handle, so the Supreme Emperor asked Cheng Guogong to come over and discuss with the old man."

"The two of us have a little disagreement on specific matters..."

Xu Youzhen also realized something, leaned over and asked.

"What difference?"

"Xun Wei!"

Zhu Jian narrowed his eyes and said.

"Cheng Guogong feels that His Royal Highness is still young, so the biggest problem is safety. Taking this trip out of the palace as an example, if His Royal Highness is accompanied by the Eastern Palace Xunwei, the Supreme Emperor and the Holy Mother, he will naturally be at ease."

"However, the old man thinks that filling up the guards should not be rushed. His Royal Highness is in the palace, and the people around him are arranged by the Holy Mother. With the imperial army, there is no danger. Therefore, it is better to enrich Zhan Shifu first."

After saying these words, Xu Youzhen immediately understood what was going on with the strange atmosphere just now.

He was still wondering, Zhu Yi and Zhu Jian had been at odds for a long time, and judging from Zhu Yi's attitude just now, it was obvious that they were not friendly.

However, Zhu Jian was still patient, and answered his questions one after another without hesitation, but it turned out that there was such a secret.

To put it bluntly, these words were not addressed to Zhu Yi, but to him to pass them on to the Supreme Emperor.

After thinking up to this point, Xu Youzhen also sighed and said.

"It's a pity that in our capacity, it is inconvenient to be summoned by the Supreme Emperor. Otherwise, why would Cheng Guogong bewitch the saints in front of the Supreme Emperor!"

Although Xueshi Xu's IQ was crushed just now, he still remembers his identity as a hidden front.

For the two important ministers of the Supreme Emperor's camp, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to get eye medicine.

However, he was also telling the truth.

Zhu Yi is a nobleman. Compared with civil servants, he has a title, and his position is much more stable. Moreover, he is different from ordinary noblemen.

His title was brought back by the Supreme Emperor who made great efforts to help him. Before that, Zhu Yi made a clear statement of her position in the East Palace, Beifu, and even later in the Spring Hunting Ground.

It can be said that in today's imperial court, he is truly the only one who is on the bright side and only obeys the order of the Supreme Emperor.

This, even the British government has never done.

You know, although the British government has been secretly supporting the Supreme Emperor, it was very active when it welcomed the Supreme Emperor back.

However, after the Supreme Emperor returned to the court, he did not have as much limelight as Cheng Guogong's mansion.

Therefore, with this level of relationship, and the fact that the title was obtained by the Supreme Emperor, Duke Cheng is the only one who can be summoned by Nangong at any time.

Anyway, even if he didn't go to Nangong, no one would think that he was not the emperor, so there was no need to hide it.

However, Zhu Jian and others are different.

Zhu Yi dared to do this because he has a hereditary title. As long as he doesn't make any serious mistakes, even if the emperor wants to do something with him, it will be very difficult. of.

Even if there is no errand, Zhu Yi's status will not be greatly affected by the title, and she can still be active in the court.

However, for civil servants like Zhu Jian, if they blatantly entered and exited the Nangong Palace and were caught with evidence, making the ruling and opposition parties believe that they were part of the Supreme Emperor's party, then the emperor would have a reason to attack them.

They don't have titles, and the emperor can send them to other places at any time if he wants to, and they will never return to the capital for a lifetime.

Therefore, until now, the contact with Nangong can only rely on Zhu Yi to a large extent, and because of this, in many cases, Zhu Jian will be restrained everywhere.

From this point of view, the relationship between the two is not very good, and it is normal.

After all, civil and military discord is an old practice in the court.

Therefore, Xu Youzhen often said bad things about Zhu Yi in front of Zhu Jian, which would make Zhu Jian trust him more.

But this time, it seemed that he was touched by the words 'Bewitching Saint Listen'.

Zhu Jian seemed to think of something, and his expression changed.

After a while, he leaned over. Although this was his own mansion and there was no one else, Zhu Jian subconsciously lowered his voice and said.

"Yuanyu, do you know why the old man objected to Donggong Xunwei?"

Xu Youzhen blinked, suddenly shocked in her heart, but there was a hint of doubt on her face, and she said uncertainly.

"Isn't it because Duke Ming thinks that compared to Xunwei, the officials of the Prince's Mansion are better able to stand for His Royal Highness in the court struggle?"

"This is one of the reasons!"

Rarely, Zhu Jian's face became a little worried, said.

"His Royal Highness is the one who attracts the attention of the government and the public, and there are maids arranged by the Holy Mother to take care of him. Logically speaking, there is no need to worry about safety. However, just because of one trip out of the palace, Zhu Yi is so anxious to stay in the East Palace. Arranging Xunwei, what is his intention?"

This……

Xu Youzhen also 'realized' something at this moment, and was taken aback, but in the end, she still said in an uncertain tone.

"Perhaps, it's just that Cheng Guogong wants to fulfill his original promise?"

"After all, in order to restore the title, the nobles of various families put in a lot of effort. What they did was nothing more than to have a future for their own descendants."

"Now that Duke Cheng has been reinstated, if he doesn't express it for a long time, it will be troublesome for these nobles to make trouble."

When it comes to such a major event, Zhu Jian is obviously not sure.

The frown slightly relaxed, he nodded and said.

"It's possible. However, we still need to be cautious about Xunwei's matter. I felt a little risky when it came to the Eastern Palace Young Army."

"There are guards in the palace city, and His Royal Highness is still young, so there is no need to rush to form a young army. However, at that time, the Supreme Emperor supported this matter, so I can't say much."

"Today, Duke Cheng is trying to repay the favor he had back then, but if this young army is really formed, and it is mixed with a large number of honored guards, the East Palace will definitely become the target of public criticism."

"What His Royal Highness needs now is not such a show of limelight, but to lie dormant and wait for the affairs of the court to be used in the future..."

"Therefore, according to the old man's thinking, what we have to do now is to take good care of His Royal Highness, so that His Royal Highness can grow up smoothly and get crowned and married."

"It's not too late to talk about the government affairs of the court, it's just..."

At this point, Zhu Jian sighed, but did not continue. On the contrary, Xu Youzhen hesitated for a moment, and spoke softly.

"It's just Minggong's idea, and the Supreme Emperor probably doesn't agree with it..."

After a while, Zhu Jian nodded slowly and said.

"The Supreme Emperor lives in the South Palace, so he feels powerless about the affairs of the court. It is human nature to worry that His Highness the Crown Prince will be isolated and helpless outside the court. The old man is just worried that someone will deliberately exaggerate this anxiety in front of the Supreme Emperor in order to achieve their own goals."

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen's eyes widened, she said with an incredulous look.

"Ge Lao means that it is really Cheng Guogong in front of the Supreme Emperor..."

God, just now Xu Youzhen said that Zhu Yi "bewitched Sheng Ting" purely to provoke the relationship between Zhu Jian and Zhu Yi.

But I didn't expect that this old man was so on-line, could it be possible that he was right?
Xueshi Xu was surprised, and looked at Zhu Jian with a little more eagerness.

However, to his disappointment, Zhu Jian's face was also a little hesitant. After a while, he rubbed the center of his brows, leaned back, and said.

"No one can say for sure about this."

"However, the British government has done such a thing before. In order to save Ning Yanghou, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the mother's family of the Holy Mother. If it is for the benefit of his nobles, it is not impossible to spread some slander in front of the Supreme Emperor."

As he spoke, Zhu Jian's face became solemn again, and said.

"Although the old man also feels that the order of the family is not right today, but after all, the matter has come to this point, today's son and the Supreme Emperor are considered brothers and sisters, and His Royal Highness is in the East Palace, and the reserve is very stable."

"As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can continue to secure his position, it will be a good talk for future generations in the interests of the court."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if the young army or even the honored guards are set up, but the old man is worried that if there is one, there will be two, just in case... oh..."

Although there is no one here in private, some things are still inconvenient to say.

However, Zhu Jian's expression at this moment does not need to be expressed.

Xu Youzhen's expression was a bit complicated, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he could only say.

"Master Ming, I'll wait..."

In the middle of speaking, Xu Youzhen realized that Zhu Jian had raised his head and looked at him quietly.

So Xu Youzhen stopped talking, and at this moment, Zhu Jian spoke.

"Yuanyu, do you know why the old man said so much to you today?"

"Students don't know..."

Xu Youzhen was very vigilant in her heart, but there was a look of doubt on her face.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Jian said.

"The stability of His Royal Highness is the most important thing. As you said, our status makes it inconvenient for us to see the Supreme Emperor frequently. However, as far as the present is concerned, no matter how these nobles confuse the Supreme Emperor, they will eventually fall on the throne." On His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"So, what we can do is to help and take care of His Highness the Crown Prince, at least not to let His Highness the Crown Prince be influenced by these people, and you are one of the few people in the Prince's Mansion who the old man can trust, this responsibility , you have to take it up, understand?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ming, the students will definitely do their best."

Xu Youzhen nodded, but the vigilance in her heart remained undiminished.

Sure enough, immediately after, Zhu Jian continued to speak.

"Your ability, the old man is at ease, but the Supreme Emperor has nothing to say. Now that Cheng Guogong has come to discuss, it shows that the Supreme Emperor still has hesitation in his heart. Therefore, we must not let the nobles Take the lead."

"This is not only for the sake of His Royal Highness, but also for the harmony of the Tian family and the stability of the court."

"The old man has been planning for so long just to solve this matter. For the current plan, only the Hanlin Qingliu who sticks to the etiquette system like Liu Dingzhi and others enters the East Palace, which can make His Royal Highness feel more stable."

"But the former old man has been criticized by the government and the public for a long time because of the matter of His Royal Highness, so it is inconvenient to come forward to recommend it. Therefore, I hope that Chen Shangshu can recommend it. However, after all, Chen Shangshu is also an important minister. In front of me, I believe what I said, but in the end, I am not sure what Chen Shangshu will do."

"The old man knows that you are a student of Chen Shangshu and have a deep friendship, so I'm afraid Yuanyu should come to you for this matter, how about it?"

After all, let him do the work after all.

Xu Youzhen raised his head, and he keenly felt that Zhu Jian's gaze at him was very different from before.

Although he said it was equally gentle, he always felt that there was a trace of scrutiny in it.

As a result, alarm bells rang in Xu Youzhen's heart, and her mind began to spin rapidly.

Soon, a few words appeared in his mind...
