Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 929
After these words, Wang Wen swayed vividly, but the atmosphere in the hall became a little gloomy for a while.

The other ministers frowned, as if they wanted to speak, but in the end, no one moved.

This matter involves Ke Dao, if one makes trouble, maybe it will be a disservice.

Therefore, Chen Yi had to solve it, and they would beat the side drums at most.

However, the strange thing is that Chen Yi, who has always been indifferent, is frowning at this moment, also silent, as if he is thinking about something.

At this time, the emperor who had been silent all this time spoke.

Logically speaking, although the emperor defended Wang Wen's presumptuousness, he did not go to the point of protecting him.

Under normal circumstances, when Wang Wen loses his temper, the emperor often reprimands a few words symbolically, which can be regarded as giving everyone a step down.

But this time, what the emperor said surprised everyone present.

"Tianguan's words, although a bit straightforward, are not unreasonable!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor confirmed what Wang Wen said just now.

It's just blunt, the implication is that it doesn't sound good, but it's true...

"The imperial court encourages speeches, but today's science and ethics rely on this, inviting names to buy straight, and not thinking about using things."

"The heavenly official said that they bully the weak and fear the strong, but in my opinion, that is not an exaggeration."

As the emperor affirmed Wang Wen's point of view step by step, the faces of the elders became more and more serious.

Wang Wen, an old guy, has always had a bad temper and is very rude when he speaks. However, on the one hand, he is already "famous" and no one will care about it; on the other hand, even if Wang Wen is the official secretary, he is still Courtier.

For him, the effect and weight of some words are completely different from those for the emperor.

Just like what Wang Wen said just now, what he said can be regarded as a struggle between the court and China, and when they go online, they are at best attacking each other.

However, for the emperor, it meant dissatisfaction with the imperial court.

With the current trend of Ke Dao Fengxian, if they get wind of it, they probably won't feel that they are wrong, they will only feel that the emperor does not listen to advice, and this trend will intensify instead, and may even evolve into The conflict between internal and external courts.

Frowning tightly, a hint of puzzlement flashed in the eyes of the elders.

They couldn't figure it out. The emperor shouldn't understand such a simple truth.

You know, there have been such examples in the past. Wang Wen sang bad faces in the court and went on a rampage, and the emperor sang red faces to appease the officials.

But this time, is the emperor going to break through the window paper?

Looking at the appearance of the ministers below, Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said.

"I know that the government and the public are all concerned about the relationship between me and the Supreme Emperor, and even the relationship between me and the Crown Prince of the East Palace, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces. Whenever there is any movement, there will be a lot of discussion and rumors."

"When officials talk about affairs, they should talk about the affairs of the world, and the affairs of the heavenly family are also the affairs of the world. Therefore, I don't shy away from talking about the affairs of the heavenly family."

"However, now that the government is in trouble, it is gradually becoming a question of only asking about the affairs of the palace and not asking about the people of the world. This is a big mistake!"

The voice was not loud, and the tone was not serious, but all the officials present stood up from the pier involuntarily.

The hall was still quiet, only the calm voice of the emperor echoed.

As the words gradually deepened, the emperor said with a bit of sigh in his tone.

"I don't care what the outside world thinks about the affairs in the palace. All the ministers are the backbone of the country, and they are also the people who will help the country with me."

"There are rumors from time to time in the government and the public, but you and others know me, the affairs of the heavenly family, the affairs of the country, since I took the throne, I dare to say that I have a clear conscience."

"The ministers were deceived by rumors and went to the court. I am not guilty of it. However, you should know that although there are people in the court who are dedicated to doing things, there are also people who have ulterior motives and stir up right and wrong. Advising officials only care about family affairs, and it will be successful. If you become an accomplice of this generation, you will ruin my court!"

After saying these words, the serious ministers below became even more pensive.

The emperor's words seemed to be a confession, but in fact, when they heard them, especially Chen Yi and Chen Xun's ears, they were like Huang Zhong Dalu, deafening.

You know, since the emperor ascended the throne, Qingliu and Kedao were not very popular.

The Qingliu is the most serious, personnel are evacuated again and again, their status is lowered again and again, and the situation of Ke Dao is not very good.

As soon as Wang Wen took office, Jingcha's spearhead was fiercely aimed at Ke Dao.

Undoubtedly, there must be the tacit approval of the emperor behind this.

However, the reason for this has never been understood by anyone.

You must know that Qingliu Kedao has always had a high status in the court. Qingliu is a close minister of the emperor, and Kedao is an official and constitutional official. It is an important means for the emperor to grasp the local situation by inspecting the affairs of the hundred ministers, appeasing the people of the Li people, and going up to the emperor of Kuang.

In the past dynasties, they all believed in the Qingliu Kedao, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he was uncharacteristically and never had a good impression of the Qingliu Kedao.

In the past, they also thought in private whether the emperor wanted to be arbitrary and in charge of the court alone, so they couldn't tolerate advice.

However, with the contact with the emperor, they gradually rejected this idea.

The emperor has always been lenient towards courtiers, and the emperor will accept all advice and suggestions as long as they are reasonable. Even if it is repeated offenses like Yu Qian, the emperor can tolerate it. Why should he target Qingliu Kedao?

But today's son's words made them suddenly understand.

In fact, the emperor didn't want to suppress Qingliu Kedao, but had to suppress Qingliu Kedao.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a dispute between heaven and earth.

Up and down the court, there have always been young people making troubles, and the ministers present are very clear about this.

After all, the Supreme Emperor has been in the court for many years. Although there has been a disturbance like a civil engineering battle, there are still people in the court who are interested in the Supreme Emperor.

These people may be people who stick to etiquette, or they may be the old people of the Supreme Emperor, or they may be speculators.

But in the end, above the court, there is such a force.

This force does not appear in the open, but it has been disturbing the situation in the dark.

Especially in the recent period, following the series of behaviors of the Supreme Emperor, these important ministers like them can be sure of one thing.

These people are not acting in the name of the Supreme Emperor, but really have the Supreme Emperor's instructions behind them.

In other words, although the Supreme Emperor retreated to Nangong, he still had the intention of interfering in the government.

As a result, the court situation suddenly became complicated.

The reason why Qingliu Kedao is called together is naturally because the two have something in common, except for the excellent results in the scientific examination and the fact that they were born in Huaxuan.

These people also have one thing in common, that is, they like to stick to etiquette and principles.

This is not wrong, but, in today's court situation, it is easy to be used by others.

In fact, after so many times of overt and covert suppression and rectification, both Chen Xun and Chen Yi knew that there were very few people who were truly emperors in Qingliu Kedao.

The rest, even those who have a heart for the Supreme Emperor, are either vacillating, or are hiding very deeply, not daring to show their heads easily.

But even so, because of the privilege of rumors and rumors of science and technology, these people are still easy to be controlled by rumors of public opinion in the DPRK and China.

And the Son of Heaven is obviously a sage king with great talent and strategy. He is very clear about the role of clear streams of scientific knowledge, but when scientific knowledge becomes a hindrance, he will suppress it without hesitation.

Even Chen Yi himself had to admit that if Ke Dao hadn't been suppressed, then the many rumors from the court during this period would definitely cause a lot of uproar in the court.

At that time, in order to calm the storm, the emperor and them will have to spend a lot of effort, not to mention, to be able to advance these major events that benefit the country and the people.

At this time, the voice of the Son of Heaven sounded again, quite helplessly, said.

"I have never sinned because of my words, but if the government is unstable, the country will be unstable. As the heavenly official said, the imperial court set up six departments and thirteen departments to monitor the world, not to keep an eye on Tianjia's affairs every day. you."

"All the affairs of the heavenly family are affairs of the court. However, such important events as the crown prince's departure from the cabinet and the harem's involvement in politics have little impact on the court. The officials of science and Taoism only focus on this matter. For one thing, they have the intention of inviting names to buy straight. , Second, there is suspicion of dereliction of duty!"

That's a lot to say!
After the words fell, Chen Yi was a little unsteady, and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I have neglected my duty!"

Don't hide or distinguish, just a simple sentence, Zhu Qiyu knows, he knows what he means.

Waving his hand, Zhu Qiyu said.

"It's not the president's fault, it's actually the court's ethos!"

As he spoke, Zhu Qiyu's expression became solemn, and he hit the nail on the head.

"As a minister, it is for the sake of the country to face the faults of the emperor. However, since the orthodox, or because Wang Zhen took power and persecuted the ministers, the ministers have gradually made admonitions, not for the rectification of the country, but for the sake of fame and fame. also."

"It's really a reluctance to put your heart into it, and a reluctance to take matters into account."

"Everyone knows that since I became the throne, I have received impeachment memorials, whether from local officials or officials in the capital, the impeachment of lawless officials is not as many as those who talk about the affairs of the Tian family!"

"What is the reason?"

"Just now the heavenly official said that they bully the weak and fear the strong, which seems absurd, but it is true!"

"They don't want to offend their colleagues in the court, and they don't dare to investigate the crimes. However, they dare to use the power of rumors to commit false admonitions."

These words became more and more straightforward, and even at the end, they were a bit cold.

As a result, except for Chen Yi, the other ministers also knelt down silently.

However, Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to stop and continued.

"My every move is watched by hundreds of officials, so they feel that I will not be harsh on them. However, the real moths of the country, such as Wang Zhen, Wang Ji, Shi Qian, and Jiang Yuan, are all because of their high positions. , and dare not impeach."

"What's more, the censor who inspected the place traveled thousands of miles. Because of the rumors in the middle of Beijing, he remonstrated with me, but the place he inspected was calm and peaceful, as if there was only me in the world It's like making a mistake..."

The last sentence, the emperor obviously meant a bit of a joke.

However, none of the people present could laugh. On the contrary, each of them couldn't help but sweat coldly on their foreheads.

It can be seen that the Son of Heaven has been holding back these words for a long time, but it is the words that should have been said in a rage, but at this moment, being said in such a calm tone by the Son of Heaven makes people even more frightened.

Seeing that the emperor's words finally came to an end, a group of ministers who were already in cold sweat kowtowed in unison, saying.

"My ministers are guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

They are not the stunned young men like Yu Qian. At this time, although the emperor behaved calmly, he might not have accumulated much anger in his heart.

Therefore, bowing your head and admitting your mistakes is the only way.

However, this time, Zhu Qiyu really didn't mean to blame them, but waved his hand and said.

"I said this not to blame you. The current situation has complicated causes and is not your fault. What I want to say is how to solve it..."

The ministers below glanced at each other, especially when the servants at the side really came to help them up, they were sure that the emperor was really not angry.

For a while, even with their hearts, they couldn't help but admire them.

In all fairness, they have tried their best to accept the excellence of the emperor, but it has to be said that even so, the emperor still exceeds their imagination every time.

Not to mention the emperor's familiarity with the government and his insight into people's hearts, it is not easy for the emperor to have such a vision and penetrate the essence of the government at his current age.

What's more, after seeing through everything, the Son of Heaven can still maintain such a normal mind, and he doesn't feel angry at all. This kind of magnanimity is really very human.

Of course, what they don't know is that although Zhu Qiyu looks only in his 20s, he has seen the vicissitudes of a century, and even witnessed the collapse of a dynasty.

If he was in his previous life, if he saw through these things, he would be furious, and even smash the jars and kill them.

However, after living a new life, everything is different after all.

These dissatisfaction, even if there is, has been exhausted as early as a hundred years ago.

Seeing the group of people standing up, but still not daring to sit down, Zhu Qiyu sighed and continued to ask without saying anything.

"Qing and others are good ministers, I don't know, is there a way to solve this problem?"

This……

The emperor's words are clear enough, but because of the clarity, this method is difficult to say.

As the emperor said just now, the current situation of Ke Dao has complicated causes, and this is not something that can be solved simply by changing a group of people.

However, after what the emperor said just now, the ministers present were also very clear.

That is, if this problem cannot be solved, then the emperor will always be afraid of suppressing Qingliu Kedao.

Even if it can be temporarily supported in order to reverse the atmosphere in the officialdom, it cannot cure the root cause after all, and in the end, it will still be suppressed again.

Come to think of it, this is also the reason why the Son of Heaven completely opened up his words today.

Whether you want to cover it up and drink poison to quench your thirst, or face difficulties and solve the problem from the root, depends on whether these people are capable enough...
