Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 37 I Owe You

Jiyi Temple.

As the ministers left one after another, the originally full hall suddenly became empty.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the top and looked at Yu Qian who was standing in the hall with a complicated expression.

This is the first time he has played against Yu Qian alone since he woke up this time.

But such a scene has been experienced countless times in previous lives.

For Yu Qian, Zhu Qiyu's feelings are very complicated.

From the emperor's point of view, he is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, a loyal minister, a critical minister, a good minister, but he has never been a confidant.

In his heart, he pretended to be the world's top priority, never the safety of one family.

According to Confucianism, Yu Qian accomplished almost every one of them, but in the end, he ended up in ruin.

Frankly speaking, Zhu Qiyu is dissatisfied with Qian.

In terms of fame and fortune, he gave Yu Qian an unprecedented trustworthiness, Shaobao, Taizi Taifu, Minister of War, and no other minister than this.

In terms of real power, he has been in charge of the Ministry of War for eight years, and it has never been easier. Even Zhu Qiyu handed over the power of the Admiral Jingying to him.

The tradition of Daming's use of literature and martial arts started from Yu Qian's hands.

Even his most trusted Jin Yiwei was handed over to Yu Qian's son-in-law Zhu Ji.

He treats Qian obediently, but Yu Qian has failed him!
When the change of seizing the door happened, in the entire capital, the only one who had the strength to change the situation was Yu Qian.

He holds the two most powerful forces of Jingying and Jinyiwei in his hand.

As long as he is willing to give the order, with the more than 3000 mobs that Shi Heng entangles, even if they occupy Miyagi, it is impossible to stop Yu Qian who holds tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp.

But he didn't...

Today, Zhu Qiyu has long been able to figure out why this is.

Yu Qian was upright all his life and worked hard for Daming Jiangshan.

After all, the Emperor Taishang was the Emperor Taishang. If he sent troops at that time, he would have committed chaos and would be criticized by future generations.

This is what Yu Qian, who is famous all his life, is unwilling.

What's more, Zhu Qiyu had no heirs at that time, and once he died of illness, the deposed prince Zhu Jianshen, who once lived in the East Palace, would eventually ascend the throne.

When the Emperor Taishang was reinstated and ascended the throne, he would eventually pass the throne to his own son.

After all, there is no difference in the inheritance of the great position, why bother?
What's more, once the army is launched, the blood inside and outside the palace wall will inevitably flow into rivers. If the vassal kings from all over the world take the opportunity to cause chaos and disturb the society, Yu Qian's whole life will be ruined.

This is something he can't accept no matter what.

Therefore, his final choice is to lose one person but not the world!

Although he knew what he would face in doing so, Yu Qian was never a person who was afraid of death...

Today, Zhu Qiyu has been able to understand what he was thinking and his choice.

In all fairness, from the perspective of Yu Qian at that time, he chose the most beneficial method for Daming.

only……

The price is too high!
Whether it was Yu Qian or others, they all forgot one point.

The one who seized the door and restored it is no longer the orthodox emperor who has the world in his heart and wants to do something.

It was a vengeful emperor who was imprisoned for seven years and resented everyone.

Recalling the various measures taken by Zhu Qizhen after the restoration that year, Zhu Qiyu still shudders to this day.

Yu Qian thought that as long as he was captured, he would be able to get a smooth transition to the situation.

But a vengeful heart will burn all a person's sanity.

The ministers and ministers who played an important role in the court and the opposition, including Yu Qian, were killed, three were sentenced to exile, and two were forced to serve.

One of the six is ​​empty!
Seven ministers at the level of servants were dismissed, exiled, and beheaded.

Whether it is an important minister who has worked hard for the imperial court for more than ten years, or a middle and senior minister who has been favored by Zhu Qiyu.

Killed, fired, exiled...

The heads of the people in the courtroom were rolling, and the blood flowed into rivers.

In just one month, almost all the important officials in the entire court were replaced.

Yu Qian sacrificed himself, hoping to keep the peace of the court, the stability of the society, and Zhu Qizhen's ruin...

Scenes and scenes kept flashing in Zhu Qiyu's mind, making it difficult for him to speak for a long time.

Yu Qian stood at the bottom, feeling the complicated gaze of King Yu, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise in his heart.

He has no friendship with this King Yin, why does he have such complicated eyes towards him?
Raising his head slightly, Yu Qian glanced at King Yu, only to feel that he looked at him with appreciation, reliance, regret and unwillingness, and even a faint, faint anger... In short, Extremely complex...

It didn't mean that Qian thought clearly where the gaze came from, and felt the gaze of the first go back.

Then I heard Zhu Qiyu speak.

"The safety of the capital is now tied to the Servant. I am in the Ming Dynasty, and I should also be the Servant. Because of the Servant's efforts to save the sky, this king is immoral. I will be the emperor first, and I am grateful to the Servant."

Yu Qian raised his head, just in time to see Zhu Qiyu get up, bowed straight to him, bowed his hands in a salute, couldn't help but pale in shock, and bowed down in the tunnel.

"Why did the lord say such a thing, this minister would never dare to be the lord of this ceremony."

At this moment, Yu Qian is just an ordinary six ministers, not even a minister.

Although he stood firmly on the side of King Yu when he was discussing matters, Yu Qian would never dare to answer if he wanted to push the sky.

What's more, what Zhu Qiyu said is that the emperor's brother thanked him...

As a minister, who would dare to accept the gift of the Son of Heaven calmly?

Therefore, Yu Qian's forehead suddenly oozes a little cold sweat.

Zhu Qiyu walked down and lifted up Yu Qian with his own hands, whispering.

"You can afford it, this is what Daming owes you, and what the Zhu family owes you..."

It's even more what the emperor owes you...

Zhu Qiyu added another sentence in his heart.

After saying these inexplicable words, Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, finally restrained his emotions, returned to his seat and sat down again, said.

"Yu Shilang, how are the military officers and generals being counted by the Ministry of War these past few days?"

Yu Qian was still pondering the meaning of Zhu Qiyu's words just now. At this moment, when he heard his business, he quickly packed his mind and said.

"Back to the lord, the situation is not optimistic."

"It has been four days since the military report arrived in Beijing. I have led the officials of the military department to take an urgent inventory of the available officers and troops in Gyeonggi. This is a detailed record."

After speaking, Yu Qian pondered for a while, and Yu Qian took out a copy from his sleeve and handed it over.

Zhu Qiyu raised his hand to take it, took a brief glance, and focused on Yu Qian's narrative.

"There are [-] soldiers in the three battalions of our capital, but there are less than [-] soldiers, most of them are old and weak soldiers. It’s even worse than when I was in the early years of my dynasty.”

"And among these tens of thousands of soldiers, there are less than one out of [-] who are fully equipped such as helmets, armors, muskets, and divine arrows. In addition, these days, although the news of the imperial court's defeat has not spread, but there are constantly people fleeing from the border into the city. , the morale of the Beijing camp officials is low, if this continues, it will be extremely difficult to guard the capital..."
