Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 989
In the Wenhua Palace.

After Li Shi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

During this period of time, there has been quite a lot of criticism in the court for Yang Jie's actions in the grassland.

Some people think that his actions have plunged the grassland into civil strife and won peace for Daming, but some people think that Yang Jie acted without authorization, which is too risky, and if he is a little careless, there may be another war on the border. Some people think that it is unbecoming of Daming's dignity for him to provoke Tuotuo Buhua's brothers, but there are different opinions.

Of course, the emperor's attitude has always been very clear, that is, Yang Jie must be protected!

This can be seen from sending Yang Hong to lead the troops out of Beijing, to promoting Yang Jie and awarding honors.

However, attitude is one thing. Today, because of Yang Jie, various tribes have come to ask for an explanation on the frontier.

How to solve this matter is also a problem...

However, regarding this matter, the Son of Heaven was the same as before, he did not intend to let the ministers discuss, but pondered for a moment, and said directly.

"Since Yang Jie provoked this matter, let him handle it. Pass an order to Yang Jie, ordering him to rush to the Xuanfu immediately to assist Jin Lian in handling the border affairs properly."

However, the next moment, they understood.

However, nowadays, if the Son of Heaven insists on pretending not to know, then he can only make things clear.

But he had a good family background and good luck. After Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu passed away one after another, the new British Duke Zhang Mao was young, and the power of the British Duke naturally fell into his hands.

Therefore, although Zhang Min's official position is not high, his influence is not small. However, it is also because of his low official position, and in order not to be the first bird, Zhang Min is rarely in the court under normal circumstances. Come out yourself.

Of course, the words of the emperor were not very convincing to the ministers present.

You know, the major tribes in the Xuan Mansion now have the primary demand for Daming to hand over Yang Jie.

As the head of all the officials, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor's favorite minister, his words are obviously useful to the emperor.

However, knowing it all, for a while, they couldn't think of any way.

Today, almost everyone knows the relationship between the Chengguo government and the British government. First, Zhang Xiang made a statement, and then Zhu Yi came forward to agree. If it was said that they had not discussed it before, no one would believe it.

However, at this moment, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded.

This is a tactful statement, but it actually means that Yang Jie's presence in Xuanfu may cause uncontrollable consequences.

However, it only made the emperor calm down and explained the reason for doing so, but did not make the emperor change his mind.

What's the use of asking these questions if it's all over?

"What's more, with him in the border army of Changping Housheng Town, these captives would not dare to act rashly. Even if they really attack, with the current strength of Xuanfu, they will not lose."

As a veteran government, the contacts and influence of the British government in the military cannot be underestimated.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

The real main force to show up in the court is either Ningyang Hou Chen Mao or Ningyuan Hou Renli. Of course, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi has also made a lot of limelight recently.

Last time, many ministers advised Yu Qian, and finally stopped the emperor. However, judging from the actions of the emperor to let the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household prepare military equipment, food and grass these days, it is only superficially extinguished. Just thoughts.

All the important officials present looked at each other, feeling a little speechless.

"Therefore, there is no need to transfer Yang Jie back. Let him go to the Xuan Mansion in person. After the matter is properly resolved, it will not be too late to return to the capital."

It can't be said that Wang Wen's appearance is useless.

They knew that the emperor trusted Yang Jie, but they did not expect that the emperor was so reassuring about him.

As the servant handed over the memorial to the imperial case, Zhang Min also opened his mouth and said.

Seeing the Son of Heaven pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, a group of elders had a moment of helplessness and exchanged eye contact for a moment. In the end, Wang Wen had no choice but to step forward and speak under the gaze of everyone.

It's just that, with the military strength of the Xuan Mansion and the current strength of the Tatars, it is very difficult to win.

Since they didn't make a statement, even if they wanted to make a large-scale appeal, they couldn't do anything about it.

"The Tianguan's concerns are justified, but I still say that this matter was provoked by Yang Jie, so it is most appropriate for him to handle it."

You know, although Zhang Xiang didn't say it clearly just now, it can be heard from his tone that there must be so-called "illegal acts" in the memorial he submitted to the emperor.

However, even without mentioning the huge risks of doing so, there is no suitable opportunity nowadays.

Therefore, many people still have hope.

The voice of these words fell, and there was a burst of murmured discussions in the court hall.

If the situation is allowed to develop, especially if Yang Jie went to the Xuanfu in person, once there is serious friction between the two sides, then there will be a fight...

All the ministers couldn't help but frowned. You know, from the point of view of nobles, as long as they fight, they will definitely be reused.

However, what they didn't expect was that after Zhang Yu came to the palace, he didn't mention a single word about the border issue. Instead, he unhurriedly took out a playbook from his sleeve and handed it over.

But this time, this second master Zhang didn't show his hands to others, but showed up in person. What exactly is he going to do?
Could it be that they want to encourage the emperor to send troops?

Everyone knows the identity of this Zhang Tongzhi. Although it is said that he is not capable of writing, he has been a proper playboy for the first half of his life.

Of course, most of them are also wondering, what the hell is this Second Master Zhang going crazy about?

With the influence of the British government, Zhang Min could not be regarded as a pivotal figure in the court, but at least he could be regarded as the number one figure.

What's more, everyone knows that from the time when the Supreme Emperor returned to the south, to when the crown prince left the cabinet to prepare the mansion, behind this, there is the shadow of the British government. People naturally belong to him.

Is it possible that you really want to take this risk?
A group of ministers stood there with sad faces, thinking hard.

Therefore, it is better to let him go back to the capital first, and wait until he understands the details clearly before making arrangements.

The joints in the middle are not difficult to understand. At that time, the most important thing was that the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of hiding his own thoughts. As long as people with a little political sense of what happened in recent times, how could they I can also notice some, not to mention the ministers in the palace who have been up and down in the court for many years.

You know, although Zhu Yi just said that the rectification of the military mansion is to deal with the border risks, but if you think about it for a while, you can understand that the military mansion may have many problems, but it is far from being difficult to operate.

They wanted to call Yang Jie back to Beijing first, just to ask about the specific details of the situation so that they could make judgments and make arrangements accordingly.

With this situation alone, the ministers below were helpless for a while, and the worries in their hearts increased a few more layers.

Because even the emperor said just now that these Tatar tribes may invade the south on impulse.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Xuan Mansion is tense now, and all the tribes are very hostile to Yang Jie. In addition, he has just returned from the grassland, and there are many details about the grassland that need to be reported to the imperial court. Do you want Yang Jie to return to Beijing to report on his work first?" , and then make another arrangement?"

The arrangement for Yang Jie now reflects this point even more.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar ministries gathered in the Xuan Mansion this time are here for Yang Jie. If you let Yang Jie go to the Xuan Mansion rashly now, it may intensify his emotions and cause chaos. Therefore, you might as well call Yang Jie back to the capital first. One is to inquire about the situation of the grassland, and the other is to use this news to see the reactions of various Tatar ministries. After all, the two sides have not met, so there is always room for buffering, Your Majesty, please think twice."

…………

However, it is a pity that even if Wang Wen came forward, the emperor just pondered for a moment and then said.

You know, before this, the emperor's various actions made it difficult for people not to suspect that his old man had the idea of ​​going to war.

Because, shortly after Zhang Yu's voice fell, and following closely behind, Zhu Yi, the Duke of Cheng, stepped forward and said.

In the court, under normal circumstances, everyone knows what they say, and they don't understand it. The main purpose of doing this is to leave room for both parties.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

Even though there are many things, everyone knows that they are inseparable from the British government, but on the surface, Zhang Xiang is really, just watching from the sidelines, and the limited few speeches are just beating the drums.

"Your Majesty, the military government has had a long history of malpractices. As Zhang Tongzhi said, if the military government's management of the military cannot be carried out effectively, no matter the Beijing camp, the frontier army, or even the officers and soldiers of the guards everywhere will suffer from it. Now the border is in turmoil. Uneasy, the military government is like this, how can it deal with border risks?"

Therefore, all the ministers looked at Wang Wen expectantly, hoping that the lord of the heavenly official could persuade him a few more words, but unfortunately, Mr. Wang was forced to stand up under the pressure of the eyes of several other important ministers. .

Up to now, Yu Shaobao personally appeared to play, but was warned by decree. Wang Wen, as the head of all officials, tried to persuade him, but he returned in vain.

From the point of view of official position, Zhang Min can only be regarded as the middle class among all the military officials.

Judging from the meaning of the emperor now, it is obvious that he is building the plank road in the open and keeping the warehouse in the dark. Although the old man is making many preparations in secret, he does not express his position on the surface.

Then he returned to his position and stopped talking.

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of discussion in the room, and even the most important ministers at the front had a look of surprise on their faces.

Once Yang Jie went to the Xuan Mansion, the possibility of a war would rise in a straight line.

But therein lies the problem.

Right now, he has persuaded and persuaded, and the emperor has said so much to save face, and he is not Yu Qian's stubborn donkey, who knows how to talk back to the emperor if he is a fool, so naturally he does not continue to go forward, but silently cups his hands.

"Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have learned lessons from wisdom and wisdom. You first changed the capital camp, and then strengthened the frontier army. With great courage, you checked the army camps all over the world. It is really a blessing for the military officials and the army."

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Min stood up, many ministers looked at him with vigilance and hostility.

On the civil servant's side, he was surprised that Second Master Zhang proposed to rectify the military mansion at this time. Moreover, it seems that he already has a goal. What kind of operation is this?
As for the Wuchen side, there was also a commotion, even bigger than the commotion on the Wenchen side.

Next, if you really want to stop the emperor, then you can only remonstrate or hold back...

"However, the military government is the leader's yamen. If it can't get rid of the ills, it will eventually be a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause. I have received the trust of your majesty. Since the transfer to the military government, several military officials have been found. Up, please ask your majesty to order a secretary to conduct a detailed investigation, so as to correct the morals of the court."

Although it is not too difficult for Ming to cope with the current situation of Tatar being divided, but after all, all aspects of the war are involved.

This meaning is not difficult to understand, but the emperor shook his head as if he didn't hear it, and said.

However, the problem is that the methods they can use today have basically been exhausted.

At this time, Yang Jie was asked to go to the Xuanfu, and he was still asked to assist Jin Lian in negotiating with these tribes. Wouldn't this...won't there be a fight on the spot?
They looked at each other, and finally, Yu Shiyue stepped forward and said.

That's what they're really worried about.

For the ministers, what they wanted was to avoid war as much as possible, because once war started, the situation would become uncontrollable.

"Therefore, I believe that the Ministry of War should be ordered to cooperate with the governors of the five armies to conduct joint inspections of military officials. If there are any dereliction of duty and mediocrity, they should be transferred immediately and reprimanded. Only in this way can the coordination of the officers and troops be ensured. to deal with border issues."

"As for what you are worried about, I don't think it is necessary. Xuanfu is my important town in Ming Dynasty. As long as Yang Jie is in Xuanfu City, his safety can always be guaranteed."

"Qizou Your Majesty, the military affairs of the five military governor's mansions are the capital of the world, and the yamen of the head of the guards is also the key to the country. However, in recent years, there have been many problems in the military mansion, and many military officials are corrupt, weak and domineering. Without status, oppressing and persecuting the officers and soldiers, deceiving superiors and inferiors, and committing misdeeds are really a serious disaster for the country."

Everyone followed the prestige, but they saw that the person who spoke was actually Zhang Min, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese military governor's mansion!

All of a sudden, many military officials who usually have bad manners can't help but feel a little guilty.

"It was indeed hard work for Yang Jie to go to the grassland this time, but because of the tense situation in the Xuan Mansion, it is even more necessary for him to rush there immediately. As for the job report, it will not be too late to return to Beijing after everything is done."

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that from Zhu Yi's words just now, many sensitive ministers smelled something unusual.

Unlike before, some censors came forward, this time, the one who spoke was a real important minister, and, moreover, it was Wang Wen, the heavenly official whom the emperor had always favored.

Therefore, if it is really to deal with the current border situation, then the best choice is to maintain the status quo of the military government.

And once the military government is going to be rectified now, no matter how fast it is, it will inevitably go through a period of transition, not to mention the time for the newly promoted military government officials to become familiar with government affairs.

After such a toss, even if the emperor wants to go to war again, he must take into account the situation in the court.

After reaching this conclusion, a group of ministers were also very surprised.

According to this, Zhang Min and Zhu Yi's actions are actually preventing the emperor from mobilizing troops?
But what are they trying to do by doing this?
