Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 34 Someone came to persuade
Zhu Qiyu sat on the top and pondered.

The Hanlin Academy was more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

In the previous life, there was also a fierce debate on this issue within Wenchen.

Even officials from many ministries and academies advocated that in order to rescue the emperor, they could make concessions to Oara.

If it was too much, he even proposed to give up the right of mutual market and release a lot of important materials to Oirat.

Although the proposal to open up supplies was strongly rejected by Yu Qian, Chen Yi and others, the voice of concession has always existed.

The imperial court only gave an euphemistic order, saying that all the utensils of the holy driver had been lost, and they should not be deceived by the thieves and captives and open the city without authorization.

As for other requirements, they are all complied with, and the most crucial problem is avoided, what should be done if the emperor personally orders the switch.

As a result, the attitude of the court was ambiguous, which directly led to the turmoil between the border guards and the capital.

Until later, there were constant guards who, under the guise of the emperor, abandoned the city and fled, but at first they were not greedy enough, and while demanding more and more wealth, they marched south, approaching the capital.

It was only when the courtiers realized that they had no sincerity to return the emperor at all, the voices of the court and the opposition making concessions completely subsided.

But at that time, half a month had passed since the civil war.

These days of hesitation by the imperial court, the border defense line collapsed rapidly, which directly led to the extremely difficult battle of Beijing's defense.

To this day, when Zhu Qiyu recalls the battle to defend Beijing in his previous life, he still feels heartbroken.

It was a real battle that decided the fate of the country!

In the face of Ye Xian's tens of thousands of troops, no one knows whether this battle can be won.

All they know is that they have to win.

Once they lose, the century-old Guozuo of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in their hands.

At that time, the court also truly united.

Regardless of the civil servants, military generals, nobles and clans, and capable warriors, they all climbed the towers and vowed to guard the capital to the death.

Even now that Zhu Qiyu wants to come, he feels extremely happy.

All wars are largely about luck.

Looking back now, there were too many chances that they would lose that defensive battle.

Even if it is a rebirth, he still does not have a complete grasp, and dare to say that he will be able to defend the capital.

So now, he must seize all the time and do everything in his power to fight for every possibility.

Of course he knew the dangers of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and of course he knew that being too sharp at this time would arouse the fear of many people.

But he couldn't care less.

If this battle is lost, everything is over!
What's more, no one knows better than him what Daming is facing.

Having captured Da Mingzi and made Ye Xian's ambitions inflated unprecedentedly, he never had the slightest idea of ​​negotiating peace.

From the moment he caught the emperor, what he thought was how to break through the capital of the Ming Dynasty and restore the majesty of the Dayuan Empire!
So even if Zhu Qiyu knew, even if he didn't do anything, in a few days, Chen Xun and the others would have to bow their heads in the face of reality.

But he still wants to dispel everyone's unrealistic ideas today.

In these critical moments, the one day earlier to unify everyone's ideas, the more certainty of victory in the upcoming battle.

But obviously, the servant of the servants represented by Chen Xun and Gao Gu, Hanlin Qingliu, was not easy to deal with.

Even though Zhu Qiyu has used various means to win the position of the head of the yamen, such as the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, etc., creating a sign of the general trend in this temple, the two of them still remain motionless.

Signs are only signs after all!

Gao Gu and others are not those officials who are easy to fool. After many years of ups and downs in the Huanhai Sea, they have developed a pair of sharp eyes.

Above the court, the most important thing is to follow the general trend.

That's not bad!
But more importantly, it is necessary to be able to distinguish the real general trend from the false general trend.

This is the hardest thing for a person in the bureau to identify, but this is precisely the time when an official's political ability is tested.

There are too many such examples in the Ming Dynasty.

The most typical example is the great ceremony of the Jiajing Dynasty and the national capital dispute of the Wanli Dynasty. In the end, it is the general trend to adhere to the law of etiquette, or to obey the emperor is the general trend.

For officials of the Jiajing Dynasty, obedience to the emperor was the real trend, but for officials of the Wanli Dynasty, adherence to etiquette was the real trend.

Generally speaking, unless the dust settles, no one can say with certainty that they are right.

Just like Yu Qian's current proposition.

Zhu Qiyu naturally knew that he would win, so his main battle was the general trend.

But the person in the game does not know whether he will win in the end. If he loses, then Yu Qian is not only a hero, but also a sinner through the ages.

In the Chongzhen period, is the main battle really wrong?
Not necessarily, just because the war was defeated, the country was not guaranteed, and the artifact was broken, so the move of the capital was regarded as the general trend by later generations.

Gao Gu and others have been serving for many years. Faced with such a huge choice, they may not dare to say that they can accurately follow the general trend.

But the situation in the hall still could not deceive them.

At the moment, it seems that the public sentiment is turbulent and one-sidedly supports Yu Qian, but in fact, the situation is far from looking bad.

Among the six departments, only the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Household expressed their attitude, and the people who spoke were only at the level of servants.

The others just kept silent and did not express their attitude, so it seemed that Yu Qian was recognized by everyone.

But as long as Wang Zhi, Hu Xi, and Chen Yi were among the three, two people held opposing views.

Then the situation will be reversed immediately.

The two high-ranking bosses at the Shangshu level, plus the two bachelors from the Hanlin Academy, are enough to overturn the whole situation.

As long as these three do not express their opinions, then the matter is not a foregone conclusion.

This is the real situation in the temple!
It is far from the point where they have to compromise.

Therefore, Gao Gu's attitude is still very firm.

These situations, Zhu Qiyu is naturally clear.

Food should be eaten in one bite, and things should be done step by step.

When he came to Li Yongchang, he didn't intend to solve all the problems at one time, and it was enough to be able to form this "false" general trend.

At least won the support of the majority of ministers.

As for the Hanlin Academy and the two real bigwigs who have yet to make a statement...

Zhu Qiyu looked up at the sky, and suddenly asked Xing'an beside him.

"What time is it now?"

Xing'an was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously remembered that the last time the prince asked him this question, he was recovering from a serious illness and just woke up.

At that time, just after he finished answering, the military newspaper of Tumu Fort was sent to the palace...

Throwing away the strange feeling in his heart, Xing An replied respectfully.

"It's about... three quarters of the hour."

It has been two hours since they entered the palace.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask Jin Ying next to him, "Is the Donghua Gate locked?"

Although it was strange that this matter was so important, why did King Yu ask this, but Jin Ying still answered under the inexplicable gazes of the ministers.

"Master Huiyu, according to your instructions, when I was just resting, the minister sent someone to report to the Empress Dowager. Her old man has ordered the palace gatekeepers. From today onwards, the Donghua Gate will remain open all night, and there will be an emergency government affairs military report. It can be sent directly to the palace without delay, and the head of each yamen is allowed to enter the Jiyi Hall at any time to report matters."

After listening, Zhu Qiyu nodded, tapped the table with his right hand lightly, and didn't speak. He just sat like this without saying a word, and the ministers watching looked at each other.

However, Zhu Qiyu is the host. He doesn't speak, and it is not easy for others to urge him. After all, such a major event must be carefully thought about.

What's more, since the discussion has reached this point, the ministers have their own thoughts, and they have speculated about the current situation in their hearts, so they are not in a hurry.

Therefore, after Gao Gu finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a while, only the voice of Zhu Qiyu gently knocking on the case remained.

After an incense stick of time, the rain outside the window gradually stopped, and all the ministers whispered to each other. It seemed that they couldn't sit still, and Zhu Qiyu suddenly stopped the hand that tapped on the table.

As soon as the call to the case stopped, the ministers thought that the king had finally made a decision, so they all turned their attention to Zhu Qiyu.

But when he looked up, he saw Zhu Qiyu looking at the gate of the hall from a distance.

In the late autumn season, the weather at night was already very cold, and with the continuous autumn rain, the hall was filled with elderly people, and the door of Jiyi Hall was closed.

At this moment, the inside of the hall was brightly lit, but there were only a few palace lanterns outside the hall that were not particularly bright. The courtiers followed Zhu Qiyu's gaze.

I saw a few black shadows, from small to large, heading straight to Jiyi Hall.

Not long after, the voice of the guard's report sounded outside the hall.

"Ministry of War emergency report, emergency military situation!"

The ministers frowned, but a faint smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's mouth.

No, it's still useful to live again...

Those he couldn't persuade, let the emperor personally persuade them...

　Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket
