Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 952
At night, in the Qing Palace.

Zhu Qiyu held the scroll in his hand, but his mind was obviously not on it.

Underneath, Shu Liang was serving carefully, and he was explaining carefully what happened in the British government today.

"...Your Majesty, that's roughly the case. There was also news from Xueshi Xu, saying that he was on the way back and tried to find out what Zhu Ge meant. Although I don't know what the reason is, but Zhu Ge It seems that the view towards Cheng Guogong has changed a lot."

It has to be said that Xu Youzhen is indeed an activist.

Although Shu Liang told him repeatedly that he didn't need to do more, he still delivered the news diligently and in time.

However, Zhu Qiyu was not surprised by the news, he gently put down the book in his hand, squinted his eyes, and said.

"It seems that Zhu Yi has put in a lot of effort this time, but she is quite courageous enough to write a script for me..."

These words were so calm that Shu Liang was a little uncertain whether he was happy or angry.

Carefully accompanying the smiling face, Shu Liang said.

"The emperor's lesson is clear, the slaves are watching, the Duke is also kind, after all, it's not a problem that the court is always making trouble."

"If the people in the British government can live in peace, the life of the emperor will be more comfortable."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu glanced at Shu Liang, shook his head, and said.

"Zhu Yi is a smart person. He knows what he should do. There is nothing wrong with his direction, but he is still a little impatient."

"Forget it, since the script for this play is finished, it doesn't matter if I sing a big play for him this time!"

The night is long, the sky is full of yellow sand, and the border in October is already as cold as water at night.

Xuanfu City, the Vice President's Mansion, was still brightly lit.

"Marquis Yang, you have worked hard all the way!"

Jin Lian in a scarlet robe stood in the courtyard, beside Yang Xin who could no longer restrain his excitement.

But in front of them was Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping in full armor.

"It's so late, Lao Jin Shangshu has been waiting for a long time."

After the long-distance raid, Yang Hong looked a little tired, but facing Jin Lian, he still straightened his back and gave a military salute, saying.

"Your Majesty has something to ask me to bring it to Jin Shangshu in person, so I rushed here first. The [-] troops allocated by the imperial court will arrive at the Xuanfu within seven days after preparation."

Hearing this, Jin Lian's face turned serious, and he didn't exchange too many greetings at the moment, he stretched out his hand and said.

"Since that's the case, let's go inside and talk?"

The two saluted each other, and then entered the mansion at the same time.

In the flower hall, refreshments have already been prepared.

Yang Hong took off his helmet and sword, and asked after they sat down.

"Your Majesty's will, come to think of it, has already reached Jin Shangshu's hands?"

"It arrived yesterday."

Jin Lian nodded, looking at Yang Hongdao with a complicated expression on his face.

"Yanghou, this young master in your mansion really impressed me this time!"

Things have come to this point, many secrets, in fact, are not secrets anymore.

Especially when several tribes jointly came to Xuanfu City to ask for an explanation, Yang Jie's actions could no longer be concealed.

Sighing, Jin Lian said.

"At the beginning, before the young master entered the grassland, he only said that he was acting on His Majesty's will to provoke the relationship between Tuotuobuhua and Agadorji, and cause civil strife. To prevent accidents, I needed the old man to sit in Xuanfu, but who would have thought that The young master's visit is earth-shattering!"

"However, since Marquis Yang has arrived, surely His Majesty has already made a decision?"

We are all smart people, so naturally there is no need to hide it. Whether it is Yang Hong or Jin Lian, they basically go straight to the point.

Nodding his head, Yang Hong took out an imperial decree from the small box carried by the attendant and handed it to Jin Lian.

This imperial decree is naturally the one that promotes Yang Jie.

The imperial decree was not issued to Jin Lian, and naturally it was not a proclaimed decree, and there were not so many red tapes.

Jin Lian took the imperial decree and unfolded it. Although he had expected it in his heart, he was still quite surprised.

"Commander of the Jingwei Commander? Lieutenant of Qingche?"

When he saw these official positions, he was startled at first, then he slightly closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said.

"understood."

So, Yang Hong spoke.

"According to His Majesty, the negotiations with the various ministries on the grassland are mainly focused on Jin Shangshu. The reason why His Majesty sent this Marquis here is to deter the ministries. Please rest assured Jin Shangshu."

This is also the reason why Yang Hong rushed to Xuanfu in such a hurry.

Although it was said that the emperor allowed him to lead the troops out of Beijing this time, he also clearly told him not to start a big war, and specifically asked him to discuss with Jin Lian in case of problems.

The implication is that among the two of them, Jin Lian is actually the main one.

It would be fine in normal times, but this time, Yang Jie was involved, so Yang Hong had to be cautious.

He rushed to Xuan Mansion after a long journey just to reach an agreement with Jin Lian as soon as possible.

Therefore, he made his attitude clear as soon as he came up, and first gave Jin Lian a reassurance.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the doubts in Jin Lian's eyes really dissipated a lot, said.

"That's good. Although the old man is not in court during this period of time, if he wants to come to the military department, the household department can't support a big battle now."

While talking, Jin Lian glanced at Yang Xin beside him and said.

"Furthermore, Vice President Yang should be aware that in recent days, many generals in the frontier army have stubbornly resisted the great government of the imperial court, and have been captured and imprisoned by this old man."

"Now the Ministry of War and the military government haven't had time to arrange new generals to accept them. The morale of the troops is unstable everywhere on the border. If there is a real war, I'm afraid that the hard work of organizing the army for more than a year will be in vain..."

These words were very sincere, and there was a sense of worry faintly.

However, after the words fell, Yang Hong frowned and said.

"Jin Shangshu, although His Majesty does not want to go to war according to His Majesty's wishes, but it is still necessary to prepare early. The frontier generals also have their own difficulties. If there are people who have committed minor crimes, can you please tell Your Majesty and order them to perform their crimes and make meritorious service?"

The flower hall fell silent, Jin Lian looked up at Yang Hong, and after a while, he didn't answer his question, but said.

"Yang Hou just said that His Majesty has something to bring to this old man. I don't know what it is?"

Yang Hong knew that Jin Lian was changing the subject, but after pondering for a moment, he didn't continue to pester, but said.

"Two things, first, about the principles of this negotiation, His Majesty said..."

Afterwards, Yang Hong conveyed what the emperor said to Jin Lian intact.

It should be said that civil servants are better than military officials in that ministers who can reach the level of the six ministries and seven ministers are all versatile.

Although Jin Lian is good at criminal names, he is no stranger to military and political affairs.

After hearing the words conveyed by Yang Hong, he quickly understood the emperor's spirit deeply. In fact, to put it bluntly, there are only two points.

First, mess around and pretend to be confused!

No matter what the other party said, they insisted that Da Ming had nothing to do with Tuotuobuhua, insisted that there was a tributary relationship between Da Ming and the tribes, insisted that Yang Jie did not kill people, and that the civil strife in Tatar was his own fault, and Daming has nothing to do with it.

Second, tough, the attitude is extremely tough!

It must be shown that Daming is not only not afraid of fighting, but also waits for these people to provoke, so that he can take the opportunity to teach them a good lesson.

Only in this way can they get out of trouble.

However, after digesting these words, Jin Lian frowned, but a doubt arose in his heart and asked.

"Yanghou, all the ministries have come to ask for an explanation, but what is hidden behind it?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Jin Shangshu!"

Yang Hong smiled wryly and said.

"This is the second point that the Marquis wants to say. About this negotiation, Jin Shangshu must be prepared. I am afraid that the difficulties encountered will be much greater than previously imagined."

So Jin Lian asked, "Why?"

"Firstly, regarding the fact that these tribes gathered in the Xuan Mansion at the same time, His Majesty suspects that they are also secretly instigating behind the scenes."

Yang Hong pondered, for some reason, he was a little hesitant.

"The second is that these tribes may open their mouths to the Great Ming Lion this time, so Jin Shangshu needs to be prepared in advance."

What he said was unclear, and Jin Lian couldn't help frowning.

He can understand the former. In fact, during this period of time, while waiting for news from the court, he has not been idle.

As the governor of the two sides authorized by the emperor, Jin Lian has the right to consult the military newspapers of the various frontiers. In addition, Yang Xin has been sending people to the grassland in order to inquire about Yang Jie's news.

Therefore, he was indeed aware of the reasons for the arrival of the ministries.

but……

"The lion opened his mouth?"

Jin Lian looked up at Yang Hong and asked.

"Yang Hou, what does this mean?"

Yang Hong's expression changed for a while, and he refused to speak for a long time. Jin Lian just looked at him like this, and had a vague guess in his heart.

In the end, after a fierce inner struggle, Yang Hong still said.

"The specific news is still unclear, but if there is no accident, Jie'er may...give some promises in the process of persuading these tribes."

The words are still not clear, but they are enough for people to understand.

If it was just promises all over the sky, Yang Hong would not be so evasive. If he behaved like this, there is a high probability that the other party should not only have empty promises, but something real.

If there is no accident, it is likely to be... a false decree!
After Jin Lian finished listening, he also fell silent, and after a long while, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Yang Hou, this little son of yours has really created a big problem for the court this time!"

Now he finally understood why Yang Hong rushed over in such a hurry.

The imperial decree was issued, ordering Jin Lian to preside over the negotiations with various Tatar ministries.

The news that Yang Hong just said is too sensitive and must not be kept on paper, it can only be passed on by word of mouth.

Therefore, once he came late, Jin Lian would definitely be caught off guard by the other party.

And, this is not the worst.

The most serious thing is that once Jin Lian truthfully reported this matter to the court, even if the emperor wanted to protect Yang Jie, it would be difficult.

"Jin Shangshu..."

Yang Hong looked at Jin Lian's deeply furrowed brows, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, even though he had made so much effort.

However, when he really faced Jin Lian, he was still not sure.

After all, this is a minister of the Seven Ministers, no matter in terms of status or power, he will not be weaker than his Changping Houfu.

Now, all he can rely on is the will he asked the emperor for before leaving Beijing.

Sure enough, Jin Lian was silent for a moment and said after looking at the imperial decree promoting Yang Jie in his hand.

"Forgive me, Marquis Yang. The matter is of great importance. I must truthfully report all the details of this negotiation."

"but……"

Seeing Yang Hong almost standing up, Jin Lian raised his hand to comfort him and said.

"For the time being, it can be in the form of a secret report. As for how to deal with it later, it still needs to be ordered by His Majesty."

After the words fell, Yang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted, and said.

"Thank you Jin Shangshu."

Jin Lian smiled wryly and said.

"There's no need to thank you, but since the matter has reached this point, I'm afraid it won't be enough just to put pressure on."

"The negotiations will start in two days, I'm afraid it will be a lot of hardships..."

In the final analysis, negotiations are of course more than fists, but they must also be reasonable.

Originally, although what the Son of Heaven said was somewhat forceful, there was nothing wrong with it.

However, if it is said that Yang Jie is now in his hands, then the truth is not so easy to explain...

In particular, there may be some instigation behind the tribes this time. Even if they don't know how to use these things, they may be scheming. He will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

Therefore, it is really not an easy job to deal with this matter properly.

Seeing this situation, Yang Hong hesitated for a moment and said.

"Actually, this Marquis has a way. I wonder if Jin Shangshu would like to hear it?"

Jin Lian asked, "What way?"

So, Yang Hong lowered his voice and said a few words to Jin Lian.

"...If it goes well, then the matter should be resolved properly, but I'm afraid Jin Shangshu will have to work hard and bear some criticism."

After hearing Yang Hong's suggestion, Jin Lian couldn't help but rubbed his forehead, went through it carefully in his heart, he sighed, and said.

"The old man is not afraid of any criticism, but... is Marquis Yang really sure?"

Yang Hongdao: "If you are sure, you have to try!"

Seeing this situation, Jin Lian hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind immediately, so he thought about it.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's see what cards these people have in these two days. In addition, I will also report the situation of Xuanfu to His Majesty closely. After His Majesty's order comes down, I will make a conclusion."

"That's fine, thank you Jin Shangshu!"

After all, it was getting late, and after giving the general situation, Jin Lian took his leave and left.

After seeing off Jin Lian, Yang Hong returned to the flower hall, his old eyes crossed the vast night, and he didn't know where to look.

At this time, Yang Xin, who had not interrupted all this time, finally opened his mouth and said.

"Uncle, do you really want to do this? If it doesn't work, then Xiaojie..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Hong raised his hand to stop him.

"You have also seen the situation just now. It is true that Jie'er took risks this time because he himself was too aggressive, so, alas..."

Withdrawing his eyes, Yang Hong leaned gently on the backrest, as if he was extremely tired, he raised his hand to let Yang Xin approach, and said.

"You have to do one more thing, go to the Longmen Guard..."

After listening to his uncle's words, Yang Xin widened his eyes and said.

"Uncle, what if..."

"Just do it!"

Yang Hong closed his eyes slightly, and said.

"This matter is indeed easy to lead to impeachment, but... in short, you go to deal with it first. If something happens, uncle will take care of it."

"Yes……"
