Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 941 I Was Deceived...

These words are very skillful.

The emperor said that Yang Jie was Yue Wumu, and he meant that Yang Jie's actions might cause him slander in court.

Wang Ao compared him to Lin Xiangru. On the one hand, he affirmed what Yang Jie had done. Like Lin Xiangru, he went on an envoy alone to stir up troubles. Both the monarch and his ministers step down at the same level.

It has to be said that after staying in the cabinet for a long time, the chief minister's method of calming the anger has become more and more skillful.

With Wang Ao taking the lead, other ministers followed suit. Yu Shiyue spoke first.

"Your Majesty, what Yang Zhenfu did on the grassland this time can be called courageous. Although there is a little risk, but for my Ming Dynasty, he is a hero."

"What's more, Tatar Wala, although he paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, he always had a heart of disobedience. At the beginning, the three generations of emperors Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong all gave generous gifts to each ministry. On the contrary, they have repeatedly harassed the border, raised troops to fight, plundered our people, and invaded our territory, which is really extremely hateful."

"Yang Zhenfu envoy is the official of our Ming Dynasty. He is ordered to hold festivals and go to the north to patrol hunting on behalf of the sky. All the ministries of Ermeng, since they have surrendered to my Ming Dynasty, should be regarded as honored guests to Yang Zhenfu envoy. Now It is really an offense for Bodu to detain my envoy of Ming Dynasty without authorization."

"Your Majesty is merciful. He never raised troops to bring down his wrath. It is already gracious to punish disobedient ministers. Don't say that Yang Zhenfu envoy didn't provoke Bodu, but he acted improperly. It is also my Ming Dynasty's business. How can Bodu act without authorization reason?"

These words were beautiful, and it seemed that all the blame was placed on Bodu's head, and the atmosphere in the hall finally eased a little.

Immediately after, Shen Yi at the side also spoke.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, now that there is civil strife in Mongolia, it is even more difficult to form an effective force to threaten me, Daming."

"What's more, the disintegration of various parts of Tatar is a great thing for my Ming Dynasty. In the past, when the mutual market was held, the five major tribes connected with each other and deliberately lowered the price of the mutual market. Most of the delivered cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver were cut corners. A good move."

"Nowadays, the grassland is in chaos. If the ministries want to maintain their daily needs, they can only come and trade individually. In this way, the initiative is naturally in Da Ming's hands. Taking this opportunity, Da Ming can better balance the forces of all parties."

"Front affairs and side affairs are the affairs of the court. Yang Zhenfu has already made great efforts this time. With the great opportunity he created, if we and the princes of the court cannot make good use of it, it will really become a vegetarian meal." ..."

In terms of policies for the grassland ministries, the emperor had a discussion with Yu Qian, Shen Yi and others before, and the main policy, of course, was to focus on restraint.

Specifically, it is to check and balance all parties in the grassland through the mutual market, causing them to fall into long-term civil strife.

From this point of view, the more chaotic the grassland, the better for Daming.

Moreover, don't look at Shen Shangshu who has been silent since he came in, that's because he still hasn't figured out what the emperor is looking for when he comes here.

Judging from the experience of this big Situ, for such a small-scale discussion, if he is called to come over, there is nothing else to do except to pay.

Therefore, although it is useless, Shen Shangshu still tries to reduce his sense of existence every time.

Anyway, regardless of the affairs of the court, Shen Shangshu has taken care of the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs. As for other things, let's not get involved...

Of course, in a sense, this is also Shen Yi's political wisdom, to be a money bag for digging and searching, and ignore everything else.

At least for now, because the Ministry of Households has been under a lot of pressure, the emperor's tolerance for him is still very high.

However, under normal circumstances, if you don't speak, it doesn't mean that you really don't need to speak.

The words of Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue, one was mild and the other was slightly aggressive, although they were both intended to appease the emperor's emotions, but they were more of an expression of attitude.

But Shen Yi was different, among these few people, he was the only one who hit the nail on the head and pointed out the correct solution direction.

In matters in the court, it is often difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

The emperor's anger just now may be mixed with emotions, but more importantly, it set the nature of Yang Jie's actions on the grassland.

Comparing Yang Jie to Yue Wumu, the implication is that the emperor does not want to be Zhao Gou, so he will not tolerate Qin Hui among his courtiers.

In this case, only thinking about showing loyalty can solve the temporary difficulty, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

The reason why the emperor was so angry was that he had sensed some thoughts in the minds of the courtiers.

However, I also know that it is impossible for the emperor to be angry every day, and it is impossible to shout loudly at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty again and again.

If getting angry can solve the problem, then there won't be so many difficult things in the court.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it would not be impossible for Shen Yi and the others to betray Yang Jie for peace just like Qin Hui did. However, they are somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Jie's reckless behavior.

Of course, from a rational point of view, this kind of dissatisfaction is a bit unreasonable, and it means that the hearts of loyal ministers are chilled, which is why the emperor Lei Ting was furious.

However, it is not groundless to be unreasonable.

It is almost inevitable that Oirat will benefit from the civil strife in Tatar. From this perspective, some people will inevitably wonder whether Oirat and Tatar would lose both if there was no such action by Yang Jie. more favorable.

This is the real reason for the dissatisfaction among the courtiers.

Shen Yi's words were not as clever as Wang Ao's, nor as radical as Yu Shiyue's, but he pointed out a crucial point.

That is, Daming and Yang Jie are on the same front.

In fact, Yu Shiyue also mentioned this just now, but he only used it to prove that he would not blame Yang Jie, but he didn't make use of it.

And Shen Yi further pointed out that Yang Jie was ordered to go out to stir up the situation in the grassland, but balancing the forces of all parties in the grassland was not Yang Jie's business alone, but the entire imperial court's business.

In other words, this is state affairs, and it requires the concerted efforts of the entire imperial court.

That being the case, what Yang Jie did was not the end, but the beginning. The Tatar civil strife may indeed give Walak an opportunity to take advantage of it.

However, for Daming, isn't this a great opportunity to intervene in the grassland?

Just like what Shen Yi said, in the past the five major tribes used Tuotuobuhua to trade with Daming, but now that Tuotuobuhua died and all parts fell apart, the trade will not stop.

After all, when there are threats from Oala outside and various ministries are fighting each other internally, it is what each ministries need to do to strengthen their strength as soon as possible.

Therefore, in this case, the ministries need to win the support of Daming.

This is more beneficial to Ming than supporting a puppet, after all, even if it is a puppet, it is at least the co-owner on the surface.

As long as there is such a co-owner, whether it is a puppet or not, the risk is greater and the flexibility is lower than a complete split.

The implication of Shen Yi's words is very clear, that is, at this time, the court should try its best to cooperate with Yang Jie, take the good situation he created in the grassland before as an opportunity, and let the court intervene to completely achieve it, and plunge the grassland into a long-term chaotic situation. Purpose.

This is the fundamental solution!
Or... this is what the emperor wants...

Shen Shangshu looked up at the emperor, and as expected, he saw a smile hidden in the emperor's eyes.

At the same time, the other ministers present were also inspired by Shen Yi, frowning for a moment, Wang Ao said.

"What Shen Shangshu said is reasonable. The grassland is bitter and cold, but the Central Plains is rich in supplies. For the grassland ministries, there is no more convenient and safe channel to obtain supplies than the mutual market."

"After the division of Tatar's various divisions, internal and external difficulties will only lead to more reliance on the mutual market. Da Ming can take this opportunity to re-establish the regulations on the mutual market and carry out the mutual market with more tribes separately."

It should be said that the mutual market has been carried out for such a long time, although there have always been voices of opposition from the DPRK and China.

However, with the actual implementation, many ministers in the DPRK gradually let go of their concerns.

The Ming Dynasty is different from the Song Dynasty. At least for now, there is no need for three redundant expenses. The Mongolian ministries are also different from the Liao, Jin, and Western Xia. Especially after the Tatars split, the ministries fought each other and were chaotic. There is no established country at all. Appear.

Especially when the Huangdian monopolizes the border trade and still strictly prevents smuggling of the people, the mutual market does not appear to be a situation of capitalizing on the enemy as imagined.

On the contrary, the same sentence, Daming's rapid recovery in the past two years is inseparable from the development of the mutual market.

There was nothing else on the grassland, but the nobles had accumulated quite a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Through the mutual market, large quantities of these gold and silver flowed into Daming.

Although a considerable part of it was taken away by the emperor, a lot of it still flowed into the national treasury.

Up to now, the mutual market has become one of the wallets of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so even if there are voices against the mutual market, under the strong suppression of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the emperor does not need to speak, and these voices gradually disappear.

However, this is a problem in the general direction. On the specific details, the ministers of the DPRK and China have always had differences.

For example, due to the situation of the Oarat War at the time, the emperor promised to start a transaction with Tuotuobuhua. Although it was said to be a tribute trade of the five tribes in name, in fact, it still had to go through Tuotuobuhua.

In fact, this time, one of the reasons why Tuotuobuhua dared to fight against him first was that he firmly controlled the five major tribes through the share distribution rights of the mutual market.

This situation is obviously unfavorable for Daming.

If things go on like this, it is entirely possible for Tuotuobuhua to gradually master various tribes and become a real khan.

Therefore, there have always been two voices in the DPRK and China. One is to choose the right time to stop the mutual market, and not give Tuotuobuhua the opportunity to grow, and the other is to choose the right time to amend the regulations of the mutual market so that Ming can directly trade with various tribes. If possible , and even Da Ming can designate the tribes and specific candidates for the other party to trade.

From this perspective, Tuotuobuhua's death actually made the latter's time ripe.

Hearing this, Fan Guang's eyes lit up, said.

"Your Majesty, according to this, Daming can completely choose the target of the transaction again. I know that there are several tribes on the grassland. Although the scale is not large, the horses produced can travel long distances for days and nights without rest. good horse."

"It's a pity that I haven't seen the Tatars take out these good horses in several exchanges. If these good horses are brought in, my Ming cavalry must be brave and invincible!"

Therefore, above the court, civil servants and military generals still have different ways of thinking.

Regarding the mutual market, Wang Ao immediately thought of the political role, while Fan Guang thought of the military role first.

Afterwards, Yu Shiyue also spoke, saying.

"What Shen Shangshu said is reasonable. The Tatar civil strife is an opportunity for Oala, and it is also an opportunity for Daming. If Oara wants to take this opportunity to annex other tribes, then Daming can completely cut off the horse market with him and support them again. The other tribes fought against him."

"First of all, if you want to take advantage of the Tatar civil strife and dominate the grassland, it's up to me, Ming, whether you agree or not!"

After the War of Oala, in order to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, Daming and Oirat also resumed the tribute trade.

However, the types and quantities of materials traded have been greatly reduced.

And, more importantly, only the tea-horse trade, which is the most scarce on both sides, is carried out. However, there are five major tribes. In fact, this kind of trade is at a disadvantage for Oala.

It can be said that following Shen Yi's words, all the ministers present seemed to have pierced the window paper, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer, with ideas emerging one by one.

Although the emperor's expression was still somewhat angry, it was obvious that he was not as angry as before.

This change made the other ministers present secretly relieved.

At this moment, Shen Yi's expression became a little strange, and he seemed to be sighing, and said.

"Speaking of which, it's a pity that Yu Shaobao is not in Beijing. Otherwise, Yu Shaobao must have more unique insights on grassland affairs and border defense arrangements."

The nonsense of what he said made everyone present stunned.

Before they could figure out why Shen Yi suddenly expressed such emotion, they heard an unnatural coughing sound from above.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as the ministers raised their heads, they just saw the embarrassment flashing across the emperor's face, and then they heard the emperor's words.

"Everything you said makes sense. How about this? After you go back today, you will draft a detailed memorial on this matter and hand it over. Later, I will call the other gentlemen to discuss it."

As soon as he said this, and recalled the expression of the emperor just now, all the ministers present immediately understood.

WC!

cheated!
They were wondering why the emperor suddenly became so angry when they and others obviously didn't say anything just now.

You know, although they did have such a little bit of thought, but still the same sentence, they are not Qin Hui, and Yang Jie is not a general without foundation. Even if they look at Yang Hong's weight, they can't really take Yang Hong. Outstanding to calm the storm.

However, the Son of Heaven was furious...

This is not in line with the emperor's usual calm style!

It's just that just now, they were frightened by the emperor's sudden anger, and they were already a little guilty. Under the fluster, they naturally didn't have time to think carefully.

However, after calming down and thinking about it now, these bosses suddenly realized that ninety-nine percent of them this time were plotted by the emperor again!
