Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 943 Tough Attitude
After the three conditions were listed, all the ministers present turned pale, but no one spoke.

If this was in the court hall, it might have exploded right now.

However, these people present were at least at the level of third-rank servants, so naturally they would not be so restless.

It is impossible to agree to these conditions proposed by Bodu.

But the problem is that Daming now has two problems that must be resolved.

One is how to check and balance Oala after the Tatar civil strife. Although they have come up with a lot of solutions just now, they did not directly destroy the internal relationship of Oara, which is convenient and fast.

The second is...Yang Jie is still in the hands of Bodu!

Regardless of whether he went there on his own initiative or was arrested, the result now is that his life is already in the hands of the other party.

And Yang Jie's identity is extraordinary.

The Yang family is a loyal family. Since Yang Hong's grandfather's generation, he followed Kaiping Wang Chang Yuchun to destroy Yuan.

Yang Hong's father and brothers were all killed in battle, shrouded in horse leather. Although the Yang family has four sons now, there are only two sons of Yang Hong.

Yang Jun rebelled, drunk and killed the officers and soldiers, and was demoted to the border. Yang Jie is Yang Hong's only child who is still around.

Even if we don't talk about Yang Hong's current status in the court, but only talk about his lifelong struggle for the court, and the fact that the Yang family has served the court loyally for four consecutive generations, the court must not sit idly by and ignore Yang Jie's situation.

On this point, the attitude of the emperor just now is very clear.

Since Yang Jie is not Yue Wumu, he must return to court safely.

But, here's where the difficulty lies.

How to bring Yang Jie back without angering Bodu, and at the same time, make Wala fall apart.

This difficulty is not ordinary!
Moreover, in front of Yang Hong, even if these conditions were to be rejected, Yang Hong had to speak up first.

So, everyone's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, looked at Yang Hong.

Apparently, Yang Hong also understands the joints. He is very clear that once these conditions of Bodu are rejected, then Yang Jie's situation will become very bad.

but……

"Your Majesty, the captives are treacherous, and all of these conditions are put forward by Bo. They are all intended to blackmail our Ming court. Your Majesty must not be deceived by them. You cannot agree to any of these three conditions!"

"Being able to put forward such a condition is enough to show that Bodu has no sincerity to cooperate with our Ming court."

"Since the cooperation fails, then the only option is to send troops to attack Wala!"

Yang Hong straightened his back and his voice was sonorous and powerful. In a trance, everyone present seemed to see the veteran who was on the battlefield again.

This momentum...

All the ministers present couldn't help but exchanged glances, as expected, the next moment, Yang Hong strode into the hall, knelt down on one knee, gave a military salute, and said.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to order my ministers to lead an army of [-] from the Xuan Mansion, go deep into the north, attack the enemy's camp, and wipe out the disobedient ministers!"

Although they had expected it in their hearts, when they actually heard Yang Hong say it, everyone was still surprised.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Seeing Yang Hong, the old general, was already a little impatient, and all the ministers present hurriedly stopped him.

Yu Shiyue stepped forward first and said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the situation on the prairie is not clear now, so if you rush to send troops, you may damage the officers and troops, and it will be futile."

"The situation is now at the end of the rectification of the military settlements. According to the memorials handed over by Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, many frontier generals have been involved in it. They have been detained or punished, and some have been dismissed pending trial."

"Yu Shaobao is not in the capital, and it is difficult for the Ministry of War to replenish the frontier generals in time. Even if a new general arrives, it will take some time to get familiar with the situation. At this time, if troops are launched on the grassland, there will be troubles on the border. If the bandits take advantage of it and counterattack Daming, Then the border people will be in danger!"

"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to send troops to Wala at this time!"

Immediately after, Shen Yi couldn't sit still anymore, and followed suit.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury was greatly depleted during the previous civil war. It depends on His Majesty's wisdom to reopen the exchange market so that the imperial court can run smoothly."

"With the army together, people eat horse chews, and the cost is countless. Qin Tianjian said before that there may be a catastrophe next year, and the court needs to prepare in advance."

"Otherwise, internal and external difficulties will be even more unsustainable, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Ao was not willing to lag behind, and stepped forward to speak after deliberation, saying.

"Your Majesty, although it is really hateful for Wala to take me into captivity in the previous civil engineering battle, the matter is over after all."

"Now, Wala has made good friends with Daming, bowed his head and proclaimed himself a vassal, and has never invaded our borders in the past few days."

"If there is any reason to launch troops at this time, it may cause the government and the public to discuss it, which is against the foundation of kingly principles. I implore Your Majesty to think twice."

Of these three people, one said that the frontier army was in turmoil and should not be moved lightly, one said that the treasury was empty and difficult to support, and the other said that there was no reason for it and that it would lose the status of suzerain.

In short, it is just one sentence, object!
Wen Chen's attitude was very clear, while Wu Chen's side, Fan Guang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Wu Xing, but in the end, the two of them did not stand up to speak.

Obviously, he is not optimistic about sending troops.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu laughed a little, shook his head, and said.

"Don't worry, gentlemen, I didn't say anything, we're going to start a war!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present were slightly relieved.

Although they already knew that the Son of Heaven was always stable and would not be as impulsive as someone else, but the matter of civil engineering really frightened them.

However, I feel relieved here, but Yang Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

This tiny change was naturally caught by Zhu Qiyu, and he restrained his smile, and he spoke seriously, saying.

"Don't worry, Marquis Yang, I have already said that Yang Jie is a national hero, and this time he went to the north as an envoy, and he went there according to my order. If so, he is an envoy of the Ming Dynasty."

"The two armies are at war, and if they don't kill them, what's more, the chief assistant also said just now that Wala has bowed his head to Daming. Since Yang Jie can spread the news, it shows that Bodu is still wary."

"No matter what happens this time, Yang Jie must return to Beijing safely. If anything unexpected happens, I will ask him to punish him first, and let him personally cut off Bodu's head and bring it to the imperial court, so as to calm my hearts!"

The emperor's face was calm, but he obviously didn't mean to be joking at all.

After the words fell, Yang Hong's whole body trembled, his tightly clenched fists finally let go, and he clasped his fists and said.

"Sir, thank you for your grace!"

The other ministers below want to say something more.

However, before they could open their mouths, a servant from the outside hurried over. Seeing this situation, Wynn immediately walked down the imperial steps, asked a few questions, his expression changed immediately, and he turned back to the hall and said.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency military report to Beijing!"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu frowned and said immediately.

"Xuan!"

So, Wynn cupped his hands and went down immediately. Not long after, three messengers walked into the hall in a busy manner. After paying homage, they took off the bamboo tube wrapped in oil paper on the back and handed it up.

The bamboo tube was disassembled, and inside was a secret note. When I held it in my hand, the first thing I saw was the inscription on it.

Jin Lian, minister, governor, minister of military affairs, minister of punishment, Jin Lian, would like to play!

This battle obviously made all the ministers present very nervous. From the moment the messenger entered the palace, their eyes were always fixed on the military report.

Finally, they saw the Son of Heaven put down the ensemble in his hands, pondered for a moment, and the Son of Heaven's voice sounded, saying.

"Jin Shangshu handed over the memorial, saying that the Tatar Chahar Department, Karaqin Department, Wengli Guote Department, and Erdos Department each sent envoys to the Xuanfu, claiming that Yang Jie, the eunuch of the town, deliberately provoked civil strife in Tatar and murdered Tuotuobuhuawang destroyed the relationship between Tatar and Ming Dynasty, violated the original peace agreement, demanded that Ming Dynasty severely punish Yang Jie, and demanded that the private market be opened."

Sure enough, it's still here!
What Yang Jie did in Tatar was, to put it bluntly, to sow dissension. Moreover, he first encouraged Agadorji to betray Tutuobuhua, and then bewitched the Karaqin tribe, and the Wengli Guote tribe killed Agado Erji, it can be regarded as offending all the Tatar ministries.

Although it is said that the Tatars are in civil strife and they are too busy to take care of themselves, it is obviously impossible for them to let go of Yang Jie who has deceived them.

But Yang Jie knew about this situation a long time ago, so he slipped away ahead of time. They couldn't find anyone, so they naturally found Daming, asking for an explanation.

From this point of view, it is indeed Daming's fault. However, after the emperor's furious anger just now, it is obvious that no one dares to say such a thing.

However, how to deal with these Tatar tribes is indeed a big problem.

The elders looked at each other, and were hesitating how to speak, but unexpectedly, this time, the emperor didn't mean to ask their opinions, but said directly.

"Let's draw up a cabinet plan!"

what?
Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.

Afterwards, a servant moved over to the case table and set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The two hesitated for a while, then handed over their hands and said yes, then came to the case table to prepare to record the imperial edict.

Then, I heard the emperor speak, saying.

"Jin Lian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Order and Punishment, temporarily took over the border affairs of the Xuanfu. Tao Jin, the commander-in-chief, and Yang Xinzuozhi, the deputy commander-in-chief, are fully responsible for negotiating matters with the various ministries, and they are allowed to act cheaply. When necessary, the banner of the king's order is allowed!"

"In addition, Yang Jie, the governor of Jinyiwei Township, was ordered to patrol the border on my behalf. He worked hard and made great achievements. He was promoted to the commander of the avant-garde commander of the third-rank government army, named Qingche captain, and awarded the third-rank general Zhaoyong."

Ah this...

Wang Ao's writing brush, which had already been soaked in ink, was hanging on the brocade, but it didn't come down for a long time.

It's no surprise that Jin Lian was appointed to be in charge of the negotiations. Among the ministers on the border, this is the one with the highest status. For such a big matter, it is necessary to have an important minister like him in charge.

But Yang Jie...

They had expected for a long time that the emperor would not punish Yang Jie, but such an attitude was...too tough!

Yang Jie was originally the governor of Sipin Township. Of course, this official position was sealed by the merits of his father Yang Hong.

It's just that the emperor took a fancy to his talent, so he directly gave it to him after he was sealed up, which was nothing at all.

After all, Yang Jie will definitely become a noble in the future. It seems that a son of a noble like him, since he has the favor of the emperor, it is normal for him to have a higher starting point.

But, still the same sentence, what Yang Jie did on the grassland, after all, there are so many unspeakable things.

Now, the sufferer came to his door, asking Daming to uphold justice.

It's fine if the emperor doesn't punish Yang Jie, but also give him a promotion.

This is a bit too shameless...

Especially Wu Xun. Strictly speaking, the so-called hereditary commanders and eunuchs are a special system born out of the military household system. Although they are often used by the court to reward meritorious ministers, in fact , and the Lord is not the same thing.

This kind of command envoy and appeasement envoy is similar to a qualification. To put it bluntly, it is an alternate candidate.

In addition, Daming has its own set of lord system.

Regardless of rank, Gong, Hou, and Bo belong to the super rank, and there are [-] ranks of martial arts under it, corresponding to military officers of the first rank to the sixth rank.

Wu Xun and Duke, Hou, and Bo belong to the system of lords, which means that they must follow the standards awarded by lords.

To put it bluntly, it is a military exploit!

Yang Jie has no merits, but he was conferred the title of Captain of the Third Rank Qingche. In fact, Yang Jie's actions in Yibei were recognized as military merits.

Send this decree to the past, and those Mongolian tribes will have to bomb it!
"Your Majesty, Yang Zhenfu is still in the north and has not returned. Everything is still undecided. Whether there is something wrong with the Jin Dynasty, I think it is more appropriate to wait for Yang Zhenfu to return to the capital to recount his achievements together."

Wang Ao didn't write for a long time, and Yu Shiyue at the side naturally knew what he was hesitating, so he took two steps forward and opened his mouth to the emperor.

But this time, the emperor obviously didn't intend to change his mind, and said directly.

"After returning to the court, there is naturally a way to explain the merits after returning to the court. Now, since the other party has come to the door, what is the attitude of Daming and what is the attitude of me? Let the other party feel that Daming has a guilty conscience."

"But Your Majesty..."

Yu Shiyue wanted to say something else, but Zhu Qiyu raised his hand to stop him and asked.

"Since these tribes have come to question Daming for provoking civil strife in Tatar, deliberately murdering Tuotuobuhua, and disrupting the peace agreement, then I have a few words to remind them."

As he spoke, a sneer appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face, and he said.

"First, I have never had any peace talks with Tuotuobuhua. What I accept is the surrender of the five major tribes of Chahar, Tumed, Horqin, Ordos, and Aso to Daming. "

"Secondly, Yang Jie was patrolling the border on my behalf. However, apart from his bodyguards, he was not followed by the Ming Dynasty's army, and he never tried to assassinate anyone, no matter if it was Tuotuobuhua or anyone else. If they want me to punish Yang Jie, they will show evidence of Yang Jie's murder."

"Thirdly, what Da Ming is receiving is the tribute from the ministers of the five major tribes at the border, not trading with each other. Therefore, how to repay the rewards is naturally up to Da Ming. If people from other tribes need Da Ming's help, they can ask for a favor from me. , the other ministries, if they wish to submit to Daming, there is nothing wrong with that, but if the ministries take the opportunity to threaten to question, it means that they have the heart of disobedience."

"For the rebellious ministers, the Ming Dynasty has its own powerful masters to fight against the rebels!"

"At the beginning, I also sent an envoy in advance, saying that the army would force the border, and I sent him a sentence. Today, I sent this sentence intact to the various ministries who came to the Xuan Mansion to question Daming."

At the end of the conversation, all the ministers saw that the Son of Heaven looked cold, looking at the north from a distance, and his voice was decisive.

"Da Ming is not threatened, let alone be afraid of threats. No matter which tribe's captive soldiers, as long as they dare to cross the border, they should make plans and bury their bones!"
