Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 942

Again, Yang Jie's actions certainly created a great opportunity for Daming to intervene in the grassland situation.

However, this opportunity is also a risk.

After Renxuan, the Ming Dynasty focused on stability and defense in terms of border defense policy, especially after the civil war caused by the Supreme Emperor, the ruling and opposition parties tended to be more conservative in border affairs.

To put it bluntly, I just don't want to have any more dealings with these Mongolian tribes, whether it's wars, mutual markets, or other contacts, don't have them if you can.

Concentrate on guarding the border of Ming Dynasty. As for the mess on the grassland, they will make whatever trouble they like.

This kind of thinking seems to be passing by, but it really exists in the entire court.

It's hard to say whether this is affected by the long-standing officialdom, or is it influenced by it. The most obvious manifestation is the last time the mutual market issue, even with the emperor's endorsement, many ministers in the court are still not interested, and there are even opposing.

But now, Yang Jie has broken this situation.

To put it bluntly, his behavior forced Daming to intervene in the grassland situation, otherwise, it is very likely that Wala will take advantage of the situation.

From the perspective of state affairs, this is contrary to the long-term direction of the court that puts stability first. From a personal perspective, he has dragged all the court officials into trouble, and he has to bear this risk with him.

So it is conceivable that when the news spread, there must be a lot of discussion in the court, especially for Yang Jie, there must be more debate than evaluation.

More importantly, what Yang Jie did involved dealing with all parties, and what was most needed was to be careful not to reveal any flaws.

This is probably the biggest reason why he has not sent any news to the outside world before, but now, he took the initiative to send the news back.

Either there is no need to keep it secret, or, with his ability and authority, he is no longer able to deal with the situation that he is about to or is facing, so he needs to ask the court for help.

Considering that Yang Jie took the initiative to go to the Turhu Special Department and did not directly return to the territory of Daming, there is a high probability that it is the latter.

Since it needs the help of the imperial court, there is a high probability that the movement will not be small, which means that it must go through the imperial court.

It is precisely because of this that the one just came out.

The Son of Heaven has always been far-sighted, and his ability to grasp the situation is unmatched. He always takes one step and sees three steps.

If nothing else happened, when the old man saw the secret performance, he was already thinking about how to calm down the public opinion quickly and pass the court meeting smoothly.

The fastest and most trouble-free way is obviously to use the imperial power to force the officials to bow their heads.

However, this is not in line with the emperor's usual style.

So obviously, a few of them are unlucky ones chosen by the emperor.

The emperor's thunderous anger just now, especially the release of Yue Wumu's ultimate move, directly blocked their room for argument.

Under such circumstances, if any of them dared to say something bad about Yang Jie, they would become Qin Hui in the mouth of the emperor.

So smoothly, the debate was quickly unified, especially after Shen Yi spoke, the direction of the topic quickly changed from the debate of merits and demerits to how to fully cooperate with Yang Jie and intervene in the grassland situation.

It is conceivable that once their memorials are handed over, they will be held in the hands of the emperor. When it comes to the court meeting, if they want to change their course or keep silent, they have to think about it. Risk of inconsistency too.

In other words, the emperor entrusted the task of facing the pressure of the courtiers directly to these people present.

The elders looked at each other with a helpless wry smile on their faces.

Who would have thought that the always prudent emperor would suddenly play such a trick with them.

This is definitely a sneak attack!

Of course, having said that, none of them dared to neglect.

Thinking of the aura of the emperor just now, the bosses sighed silently in their hearts. They knew very well that even if they did it again, the result would not be any different from what it is now.

The emperor's actions just now, certainly had the purpose of letting them deal with the courtiers, but if it is said that the anger was adulterated, I'm afraid it may not be so.

The bosses are all smart people. After piercing this layer of window paper, they will naturally consider the problem from the perspective of the emperor unconsciously.

Although they can see the situation clearly, they won't have too negative comments on Yang Jie.

However, it is not necessarily the case outside the court.

Among the civil and military officials, some are old-fashioned people who can't turn their heads around, and some are soliciting fame to buy straight, selling fame for reputation, and sensationalizing people.

Among so many officials, there must be someone who will make radical remarks, reprimanding Yang Jie for acting without authorization and 'breaking' the peace agreement between Ming and Tatar.

From this point of view, the Son of Heaven just now is actually more about expressing his attitude.

If the people present don't do it to appease the courtiers, then the emperor will do it.

As for what the Son of Heaven would do...it was already clear just now!
When it comes to the court, when the emperor needs to come forward, the old man must be furious, and he will denounce the person who made this remark as a 'traitor'.

After all, it is a small-scale discussion now. No matter how big a conflict arises, everyone should take a step back. If everyone persuades, it will be easy to turn things around.

However, if it is above the Golden Palace, during the court meeting, once the emperor's words come out, it must be accompanied by a thunderous punishment.

What's more, if you run into that hard stubble, it might trigger a confrontation between the monarch and his ministers.

This is what the emperor didn't want to see, that's why the current release came about.

Obviously, among so many people present, only Shen Yi, who had been watching coldly, saw this.

Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he hit the nail on the head and led the topic to the direction the emperor wanted. This is also the fastest way to calm the "anger" of the emperor.

Of course, there is another way.

It was just what Shen Yi said...

If Yu Qian was in Beijing at this moment, he would definitely have more unique insights!
It is true that, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian is very familiar with military affairs and border affairs, but it is not that the imperial court will not be transferred without Yu Qian.

Even if they were not in their positions and didn't know much about border affairs, there were so many civil servants and military generals present, and even Wang Ao had supervised military affairs at the border. If they added one, it would not be possible for Yu Qian to be thoughtful.

Therefore, in terms of specific countermeasures, they think they will not lose to Yu Qian, but there is only one thing that Yu Qian can do, but they cannot.

That is, Yu Qian's axis!
The Son of Heaven's methods are actually accurate. They have this idea in their hearts, and they know that this idea is inappropriate, so they feel guilty.

In this case, the emperor was furious, and they would be led by the emperor in a panic.

But Yu Qian won't!

This master is used to being scolded by the emperor, and has been hit on the head by the emperor when he got angry, let alone the scene just now.

Therefore, if Yu Qian is there, he will definitely be sure of his own judgment and evaluation, and will not feel guilty like everyone else present.

Secondly, he will not be intimidated by the emperor's power, and he will rush to appease the emperor, maybe he can calmly admonish the emperor's anger.

And often in this situation, it seems that Yu Qian was punished, but in fact, it was basically the emperor who gave in.

So to put it bluntly, right now the Son of Heaven is just lying in his nest, bullying them while Yu Qian is not around.

If Yu Qian was present, the emperor would not have used such a simple and rude method after suffering so many losses.

Scolded in vain!

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changping said just now that Yang Zhenfu's envoy to the Turhut Ministry here is aimed at the first, and I dare to guess that it should still be a means of sowing discord."

"It's just that this time, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

The atmosphere in the hall was slightly awkward, but in the end, it was Yu Shiyue who stepped forward and broke the silence.

After Shen Yi's mention, the influence of the emperor's furious anger just now was completely diluted.

However, they were also framed.

It's not that these people present really have any opinions on Yang Jie, but such a major event must be decided before action.

However, the emperor made such a fuss, and they were all forced to express their attitudes in advance. This feeling of not knowing anything but having to rush forward is really not very pleasant.

But since everything is like this, they have nothing to do, who let them meet such an emperor.

Since there was no way out, even if he had to bite the bullet, he could only go on.

Frowning, Yu Shiyue analyzed.

"Bodu is different from Agadorji. It can be seen from his various performances after he came to Beijing this time that this person is extremely cunning and scheming, and he is not easy to get along with."

"Besides, it's also different from Tuotuobuhua. Although he trusts Bodu, he can't be defenseless against Bodu like Tuotuobuhua."

"In addition to the news of the civil strife in Tatar, it will soon spread to Oala. I am afraid that it will be difficult to conceal the details."

"With the lessons learned from Tutuobuhua and Agadorji, it may be quite difficult to persuade Boduhe to turn against each other first."

Again, after understanding the ins and outs, it is not difficult to guess Yang Jie's purpose.

After the Tatar civil strife, the biggest threat on the grassland was Oala.

And the biggest threat to Wala lies in Yexian!
This person is ambitious and talented, and he firmly controls the power of Oirat. With him, it will be difficult for Oirat's various tribes to defeat them.

However, thinking about it the other way around, as long as he dies first, then Wala will inevitably fall into civil strife.

The grassland tribes are different from the Central Plains. The Central Plains has a long heritage and the concept of patriarchal system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, even if the young master succeeds to the throne, there will rarely be political instability.

However, the harsh environment on the grassland is doomed to be a competition between the weak and the strong.

Therefore, every change of tribal leader is bound to be accompanied by thick blood.

For Wala, he was also the master of ZTE first, but under the special political tradition and natural conditions of the grassland, he had to rely heavily on his brothers to control the various tribes.

This has led to the fact that once he dies first, his brothers will inevitably fight for the control of Oala, and may even fall apart like the Tatars.

Therefore, Yang Jie's goal must be to go first!

Hearing Yu Shiyue's words, Yang Hong's eyes flashed with deep worry. He has been on the border for many years. It is no exaggeration to say that he has dealt with all the leaders of Wala.

Of course, he is more aware of the difficulty of getting Bodu to betray Yexian.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Hong opened his mouth and said.

"What Master Cifu said is true. For the Tatar tribes, they split up to compete for the ownership of the Khan."

"However, for Wala, Yexian is only a grand master, not a big sweat, so there is no problem of competing for the position of sweat."

"In this way, for Bodu, even if he kills him first, it will be difficult for him to control the entire Wala, so..."

"So, he needs benefits!"

Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Qiyu finally spoke and took the words.

It should be said that both Yu Shiyue and Yang Hong were right.

With all these factors superimposed, it is quite difficult to convince Bodu, but the reason why Yang Jie dared to go is naturally his certainty.

This is also the reason why he asked Daming for help this time. It is impossible to rely on red lips and white teeth to convince Bodu.

He has to pay enough chips, and it is a real benefit, before he will be tempted.

"Bodu made three requests this time!"

Zhu Qiyu raised three fingers and spoke softly.

"Firstly, Da Ming needs to confer the title of Bodu as king. At the same time, he will come forward to represent the major tribes of Oara to carry out further exchanges with Daming. The scale, quantity, and number of times must be equal to those of the five major tribes of Tatar. , the number of tributes per year will be doubled on the original basis."

The Wenhua Palace was quiet, and this alone made all the ministers present frown.

This Bodu has a big appetite!

Canonization as a king represents that Ming recognized his status as the leader of Wala, and the large-scale opening of the mutual market can allow Bodu to buy people's hearts to the greatest extent and win over nobles from other tribes.

As for the number of tribute, that is even more of a naked benefit.

You know, it was because of this that Daming went to war with Wala in the first place. If this kind of condition was agreed, wouldn't the civil war be for nothing?

Just listening to this condition, all the ministers present almost objected. Fortunately, they still remembered the rules of the emperor's prelude and did not interrupt the emperor's words.

However, just looking at their expressions, Zhu Qiyu also roughly knew what they were thinking, shook his head, he didn't say much, just said.

"Secondly, the Ming Dynasty needs to enshrine Qimuge, the younger sister of Bodu, as the imperial concubine of the Supreme Emperor, ranking below the empress. If Qimuge gives birth to a prince, he must marry a woman from Wala as his concubine."

？ ！！

You are fucking dreaming!

The faces of the elders were as heavy as water, but their hearts had already been scolded.

Return the imperial concubine?

Do you want the Queen's position?
Let the prince marry the Wala woman as his concubine?
Marry a ****! ! !

Seeing that the faces of the group of people present had turned black, Zhu Qiyu sighed, but continued.

"Third, after he took control of Wala, if there is a civil strife in the tribe, Daming needs to send a large army to help him put down the rebellion and secure his position as Grand Master of Wala!"

Compared with the previous two conditions, this condition is also very excessive.

However, for the elders, it does not have such a big impact.

Of course, it's also unacceptable.

Not to mention that Daming is currently recuperating, it is difficult to send a large army deep into the grassland.

Even if it is sent, who can guarantee that this man has no evil intentions and counterattacks against the Ming army?
Besides, how to pass the court council is also a big problem.

If Bodu really attacked and killed him first, then, in a sense, he was actually usurping the throne.

It's all right for Da Ming to support him secretly, but how can he explain to the government and the opposition that he sent a large army to help him put down the rebellion?
