Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 993 You Are Still Ruthless!

As soon as Zhu Yi's words came out, the faces of all the ministers present also darkened.

This is a threat!

A naked threat!

On the surface, Zhu Yi gave up the suggestion to rectify the military mansion, but in fact, he was reminding everyone present.

If they were unwilling to support him, then the group of nobles represented by Zhu Yi would turn to support the emperor to send troops to start the war.

Above the court, each has conflicts of interest, so even if they have different positions, temporary cooperation is commonplace.

The biggest problem now is that the ministers below are not sure what the emperor means.

Again, although the Son of Heaven told them in private that he would not go to war, but...

In short, if the Son of Heaven intends to go to war, it will be very difficult for these nobles to make a noise in the court at this time.

And this is Zhu Yi's biggest bargaining chip!

Seeing Zhu Yi with the old god present, the faces of the civil servants turned cold, which was rare.

You must know that although Zhu Yi inherited the title of Duke Cheng, it was not only the official title that determined the status of the court.

After all, Zhu Yi was young and had no military achievements. Even if she had a title, her status and right to speak in the court was not as good as most of the civil servants present.

However, in the current scene, he actually threatened them so bluntly, even the elders present were all experienced in officialdom, they couldn't help but feel a burst of displeasure in their hearts.

It seems that these old guys are underestimated!

Looking at each other, Chen Yi stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, in recent days, there have been many rumors about the border situation in the imperial court. In the affairs of the military divisions, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places inspected the censors, and they all have written reports. I implore your majesty to put the people first, and not to start war lightly. end."

"In addition to this, many other censors have prepared inscriptions in recent days. However, because His Majesty has stated that matters that do not involve official powers must be accompanied by a superior official, they are temporarily dismissed. I'm under pressure."

"However, there are many public opinions, and we must ignore them. In order to fear that the ministers will be uneasy and the court will be disturbed, the ministers boldly ask your majesty to tell you, whether the border affairs are war or peace, how should we deal with them?"

So, in the court hall, after all, is the battlefield of civil servants.

A lord like Zhu Yi may be familiar with the court affairs and understand the twists and turns, but in terms of adaptability, they are far inferior to these civil servants who have stepped up step by step in the court.

In the current situation, in fact, the crux of everything lies in the emperor.

The emperor wanted to go to war, so the civil servants had some scruples, and Zhang Yu and others took the opportunity to enter. Similarly, the emperor did not want the British government and other officials of the emperor's family to take power, so the situation was deadlocked here.

Zhu Yi thought that he could threaten the civil servants present by starting a war, but these bosses obviously had a clearer vision than him.

Threats must have strength!
Although it cannot be said that all matters in the court today are determined by the superior, at least, whichever side the emperor supports will be able to secure the victory.

Therefore, even if it is a game, it should be a game between the emperor and their civil servants.

Zhu Yi seems to be holding the chip in her hand, but in fact, the chip is always in the hands of the emperor.

Therefore, seeing Zhu Yi being so provocative, a group of civil servants finally became serious, and Chen Yi stepped forward, directly passed all the nobles, and spoke clearly to the emperor.

However, seeing this situation, Zhu Yi on the side was not only not angry, on the contrary, there was even a touch of sarcasm on his face.

As one of the Seven Ministers and the Zuodu Censor who is in charge of Fengxian Kedao, Chen Yi's weight in the court is beyond doubt.

What's more, he, the censor of the left capital, has always been powerful in front of the emperor. Usually, there are many turmoil in the court, which are all suppressed by him. Without his cooperation, the reform of the science and road , in fact there will be greater resistance.

In fact, to be honest, Chen Yi's words also faintly meant to force the emperor to express his position, but, after all, Zhu Qiyu just frowned because of his status.

Looking up at the ministers below, Zhu Qiyu understood that this was only asked by Chen Yi, but he represented not only himself, but also many civil servants present. Perhaps, as he said, he also represented A group of science and road officials below.

However, it's not the time to explain yet, so after pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to say.

"I also know what the General Constitution said. Peace is always the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty. Soldiers are weapons. If the two sides can get along well, I naturally don't want to go to war."

"However, now the various ministries of Tatar are coming to the door to question their crimes, Chen Bing's border, whether it is peace or war, it is not up to me to decide."

"Of course I am willing to make peace, but if the ministries use this to blackmail Daming as before, even if I don't want the people to suffer, but for the sake of the country and society, I can only fight against it."

"What's more, the two Tatar ministries are already outside the city of Chen Bingxuan's Mansion, and behind each of the ministries, there is a faint shadow of Ye Xian, so no matter what, I should always take precautions early."

The emperor's words were very sincere and sincere.

However, all the ministers present, including Chen Yi, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Because, these words seem to explain in detail, but the emperor has been vague about the key points.

Take the most important thing, what the emperor said is war or peace, it is not up to Daming to decide.

Is that right?

Yes and no!
The meaning of the emperor is very clear, that is, if the opponent insists on fighting, then Daming will not avoid fighting, so you must make sufficient preparations.

Of course there is nothing wrong with this statement, even if it is put in the court, no one can criticize it.

But the problem is that this is a proper sophistry.

The basis of this assumption is that there is no room for communication between the two sides. The Tatar ministries must either go to war or withdraw their troops by themselves. There is no middle ground.

But in reality, the situation is far more complicated than this.

After hesitating for a moment, although he knew it was useless, Chen Yi still said.

"Your Majesty is wise, bandits have always been rampant. If they insist on harassing our border, it is for the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty that we should fight against them."

"However, the situation this time is quite different from the previous civil war. Firstly, the Tatar ministries did not come to the door for no reason. Second, if the opponent intends to start a war, there is no need to postpone it until now. The stalemate is because Yang Jie was not found before. I'm afraid it's something to do."

"Thus, I think that as long as Da Ming can calm down the Tatar tribes, the other party will not lose their sense of propriety. Your Majesty, please learn from me."

To put it bluntly, the ministries of the Tatars this time did not, like Ye Xian, have planned for a long time against Ming Dynasty, just for a war.

This time, they came here to discuss the explanation in name, but in fact, they came to seek benefits.

Therefore, whether it is war or peace, in fact, to a large extent, it depends on how to negotiate.

If the talks are good, then a big war can be avoided, but if the talks are not good, the other party may become really angry and harass the border again.

And this negotiation is actually in the hands of the emperor.

If the Son of Heaven refuses to make any concessions to the conditions put forward by the Tatar ministries, then the other party will naturally be unable to get off.

In fact, this is also the reason why the elders have been worried during this period of time.

Ever since the Tatar ministries arrived at the Xuanfu, the Son of Heaven has been mobilizing troops and preparing for war, not necessarily for war.

But the problem is that such a tough attitude can easily trigger wars.

Up to now, many people in the court are guessing that the emperor is using this method to start the war with the Tatar ministries who want to provoke, and then Da Ming can fight back in a legitimate way.

In this way, as long as there is a war, the court officials will have to fight if they want to.

It is foreseeable that this kind of sentiment will inevitably spread even more as soon as the news that the emperor announced that Yang Jie would go to the Xuanfu to assist Jin Lian this morning.

So in fact, when Chen Yi proposed it at this time, he acted in accordance with the trend, but it was also a helpless move.

However, after these words, the emperor's face did not change at all, but Zhu Yi who was at the side sneered.

"Comfort? How to appease?"

"Master Zongxian also saw that all Tatar ministries gathered in the Xuanfu, saying that they were asking for an explanation, but in fact, they were demonstrating against me."

"Under this situation, if you make concessions again and again, it will only make the opponent gain an inch. Your Majesty is wise and wise. It is precisely because he has an insight into the plans of the various ministries of the Tatars, that's why he chooses to face him with prestige."

"On the contrary, it is Mr. General Xian. Now that the Tatars have not yet come, the ministers of the DPRK and China are thinking about how to make concessions and seek peace. Could it be that this is the lack of integrity of the Ke Dao Feng Xian?"

The smell of gunpowder was strong at these words, and with Chen Yi's calm personality, his face would inevitably darken, and said.

"What's the character of the scientific way, don't bother the Duke!"

"I would like to ask the Duke of the State, what is your intention to encourage His Majesty to increase troops to Xuanfu? Could it be said that the lesson of the civil engineering battle can not wake up the Duke of Cheng's mansion?"

Still the same sentence, in terms of playing tricks and pricking the heart, civil servants are not a little bit better than military officials.

What Chen Yi said was clearly alluding to the old story that when Xungui encouraged the Supreme Emperor to march north, he lost all his family fortune in the end.

Moreover, and more importantly, Chen Yi first talked about the lessons of the Civil War, and then named the Duke's Mansion.

At this moment, Zhu Yi's expression immediately became gloomy, she stared at Chen Yi firmly, and said.

"Chen Zongxian, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting. I'm just feeling that Duke Xiancheng lived his life as a soldier. He should have spent his old age in the capital. Unfortunately, he was shrouded in horse leather during a civil engineering battle."

Facing Zhu Yi's murderous gaze, Chen Yi remained calm.

The relationship between civil and military is not good. In the past, it was just to show respect to each other, but now, the Duke of the country insists on speaking clearly, so why should he show face to the other party?

Looking up to meet Zhu Yi's gaze, Chen Yi said indifferently.

"The Duke is still young after all, he has never been to the battlefield in person, he doesn't know the weapons of the soldiers, the danger of the battlefield, let alone the suffering of the people in the Li people who are fighting together. If you think about it, if the Duke Xiancheng is here, he will definitely persuade His Majesty to do things on the border. Come on, be more cautious!"

The meaning behind the words is nothing more than that Zhu Yi is a brat who doesn't know the sufferings of the people at all.

What's more, Zhu Yong's name was also mentioned, which was like sprinkling handfuls of salt on Zhu Yi's scars.

"you!"

Zhu Yi's fists were clenched tightly. If he hadn't taken into account that he was in front of the imperial court, a big fight might be possible at this moment.

But, after all, this is Yuqian, Zhu Yi stared at Chen Yi with fire in his eyes, after a while, he was not impulsive at all, but squeezed out a few words from his teeth, and said.

"Your Excellency, you are worthy of being the head of the Constituency of Science and Dao, and the strength of the Dao of Science and Technology. The Lord of the country has seen it today!"

The chill in his words sent chills down the spine.

However, Chen Yi was not afraid at all, and just snorted softly. With his status and status, even if it was a lord's mansion like Cheng Guogong's mansion, if he wanted to move him, he had to think carefully. As for other means, He has been in the court for so many years, and he has not seen anything.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, all the ministers on the side couldn't help sighing, why did the situation suddenly become like this.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Shiyue at the side stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, in the final analysis, today's matter was initiated by Zhang Tongzhi. Now the dispute is nothing more than considering the border situation. I think that since Yang Jie has been ordered to go to the Xuanfu, it must be resolved properly. There are discussions from top to bottom, and there is no need to increase troops for the time being."

The best way to resolve disputes is to cut through the mess quickly.

The most critical thing now is nothing more than two issues, one is the issue of increasing troops on the border, and the other is the issue of rectifying the military government.

After a short pause, Yu Shiyue continued.

"As for the matter of the military government, the memorandum has been issued. If there is no response from the court, the officials of the military government may be panicked. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate. However, the military government has a lot to do with the officials. The officials have complicated backgrounds and are in high positions. If they make a big move, they may fear It is difficult for the military government to operate, not to mention, what Zhang Tongzhi played is after all a one-sided statement without real evidence, even if the imperial court sends important officials to investigate, it will not be settled immediately."

"Therefore, the minister thought that this matter could be brought to the court for discussion. The so-called Qing Dynasty is self-clearing. Officials involved in the military government can defend themselves and be impeached by the ministers. If there is any doubt, they can be temporarily dismissed from office and return to the government to wait. Kan, if there is no doubt about it, he will still hold the old post."

"After the dust settles on the military camp and the border, Yu Shaobao, Jin Shangshu and the various censors return to Beijing, and then order the Ministry of War to conduct a thorough investigation with the military government. It will be the most appropriate."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present cast meaningful glances at Yu Shiyue.

But the difference is that Wenchen's side is full of praise, but if you look carefully, you can see that there is a hint of fear in it.

As for Zhang Min and the others on the other side, their reaction was more straightforward, and their eyes almost became angry when they looked at Yu Shiyue.

Even Chen Yi, who was still arguing with Zhu Yi just now, had a strange expression on his face.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these words, together with the fight, can be said to have completely reversed the situation.

He is also a person who has been in court for many years, so he naturally heard the cruelty of these words...

Put it to court?

I have to say, Yu Cifu, ruthless or ruthless!
