Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 511 Seems to be on stage

Chapter 511 Seems to be on stage

The so-called beating does not slap people in the face, and swearing does not reveal faults.

For Zhu Qizhen, the most humiliating thing in his life was the defeat of the Civil Fortress.

However, this matter is destined to be brought up repeatedly.

If possible, Zhu Qizhen would rather not go to the Tumubao in his life, as if this could completely erase that big defeat.

This kind of feeling is not only understood by himself, but also by Shu Liang and Tao Jin.

Moreover, and more importantly, there must be sacrificial rites to commemorate the officers and soldiers who died in battle.

Since it is necessary to write a sacrificial oration, it is necessary to give a clear statement to the officers and soldiers who died in the Tumu Fort, and this statement has already been confirmed by the Ming court.

In this battle, the master was lost and the country was humiliated, the sand was stained with blood, the artifacts were in danger, and the ancestral temple was in trouble!
Going up the Tumu Fort in person to pay homage to the officers and soldiers who died in battle is equivalent to asking Zhu Qizhen to admit his mistakes in person, and this sacrificial article can almost be called a sinful edict.

How could he agree?

Not only him, but Tao Jin couldn't help frowning too. He thought that Shu Liang had arrested Liu Yongcheng and punished those Mongolian guards, so he should accept it as soon as he saw it, but he never thought that in the end, Shu Liang would The opening made this request.

Taking a sneak peek at the Taishanghuang's face, as expected, it was already darkened into the bottom of the pot.

After hesitating for a while, Tao Jin could only bite the bullet and stepped forward.

"Shu Gonggong, is this inappropriate? It seems that there is no such item in the ritual schedule drawn up by the imperial court?"

The Xuan Mansion was an important stop for the Supreme Emperor to stay. As the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, Tao Jin naturally received a complete note from the Ministry of Rites long ago.

Facing Tao Jin's doubts, Shu Liang suppressed his smile and spoke seriously.

"It didn't exist before, but now that our family is here, we have it!"

The tone is calm, the content is arrogant!
This attitude immediately aroused Zhu Qizhen's anger, and he shouted immediately.

"Presumptuous, is it possible that the majestic... the majestic emperor is going to be instructed by a lowly servant like you?"

Tao Jin was also a little angry.

Although he said that he had a good relationship with the British government and was deeply involved, but he didn't want to get too involved in the battle of the Tian family.

It's just that because of the Zhang family's instructions, and also in order not to take responsibility, he will try his best to ensure the safety of the Supreme Emperor and send him to the capital safely.

Tao Jin thought that since he came in, except for the fact that he was a little unscrupulous at the beginning, after confirming the safety of the Supreme Emperor, he tried his best to minimize the matter.

But now it seems that the other party doesn't seem to appreciate it!
No matter how you say it, Tao Jin is also a majestic earl, a commander in chief, always has a temperament, and immediately his face turned cold, said.

"Shu Gonggong's words may be inappropriate. The Supreme Emperor's gold and jade are precious. When and where he will go will be arranged by the court. Don't bother Shu Gonggong. The matter here is over. I will rearrange the personnel of the Supreme Emperor's personal guards. Please come back, Mr. Shu!"

In a few words, Tao Jin issued the order to evict the guest.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, Tao Jin is the local snake in this area of ​​Xuanfu.

Even if he, Shu Liang, crossed the Jiang Raptors again, he would still have to hold back when he got here.

If he really took action, with Shu Liang's little manpower, Tao Jin could kill him with a single backhand. This was his confidence as the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion.

Faced with Tao Jin's aggressive attitude, Shu Liang didn't panic, because he didn't need to argue with Tao Jin.

So, he passed Tao Jin directly, looked at Zhu Qizhen in the distance, and asked.

"I don't know the Supreme Emperor, what do you think?"

Zhu Qizhen was originally very resistant, but with Tao Jin's support, he gained more confidence, said.

"Since the imperial court did not arrange this ceremony, it may as well be avoided, it is better to arrive at the capital as soon as possible."

Seeing such scenes, Tao Jin was also a little confused.

He didn't understand why Shu Liang had to do such useless work. If he asked the Supreme Emperor this question, would there be another answer?
of course not!

Shu Liang naturally understood this point.

But he asked anyway, because he needed the answer.

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the smile disappeared from Shu Liang's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, there was another commotion from outside, and several elders in scarlet robes hurried over and stepped into the inner courtyard.

It was Du Ning, Minister of Dali Temple, Geng Jiuchou, Minister of Justice, and three envoys of the mission, Zhu Jian, Li Shi, Luo Qi, and Li Xian, Minister of Rites who came back from Datong.

It can be said that basically in Xuanfu City, all the civil servants with names and surnames are here now.

So, Shu Gonggong immediately became pleasing to the eye and said.

"Since the Supreme Emperor insisted on refusing, the courtiers did not dare to force it. However, when the time came, His Majesty had something to tell the Supreme Emperor through the mouth of the courtiers."

Seeing so many people barging in, Zhu Qizhen relaxed for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about?"

So, a trace of grief flashed across Eunuch Shu's face, and he spoke softly but clearly.

"Your Majesty said that in the civil engineering campaign, hundreds of officials suffered hardships, and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers stained the yellow sand with blood. This is a great crisis that has never been seen in the founding of the country. Before the Northern Expedition, the officials tried their best to persuade you, but you insisted on going your own way and favored Wang Zhen. Beishou is dusty, do you regret it now?"

"The civil and engineering battle disturbed the country, made the ancestral temple uneasy, and the capital was in danger. The ancestors and the heroic spirits of the ancestors are on top. I don't know if the Supreme Emperor is ashamed now?"

"The 20 officers and soldiers trusted the imperial court and entrusted their lives with their lives. The bloody battles continued, and the deaths were endless. Now they are buried in civil engineering, and no one cares about them. I don't know, but they can be sacrificed to the Supreme Emperor?"

Shu Liang didn't say these words in a questioning tone, on the contrary, he said them very calmly, as if he was really just repeating the words of the emperor.

However, everyone present, including Zhu Qizhen, fell silent.

Seeing this situation, Shu Liang bowed his hands deeply and said.

"The Emperor Taishang is the lord of ten thousand chariots. The Emperor Taishang of Ming Dynasty, if you don't want to, no one in the world can force you. The ministers have already passed on your majesty's words. Whether you are present or not, the ministers will still obey you when you wake up tomorrow morning." According to His Majesty's order, set up an altar for offerings in this civil castle."

"I hope that the Supreme Emperor can come to sacrifice in person, so that these loyal ministers and generals who are buried in the battlefield can see that the Supreme Emperor, whom they defended desperately, has returned to the Xuanfu safely, so that their spirits in heaven can rest in peace.

"Please think twice, the Supreme Emperor, and the ministers will leave."

After finishing speaking, Shu Liang got up slowly, and with a team of Jinyi guards behind him, he left the inner courtyard straight away, walking cleanly and without any muddle.

Zhu Qizhen's mood was also a little gloomy.

Of course he knew that Shu Liang deliberately provoked him, but these words also touched the pain in his heart.

As the former Son of Heaven and now the Supreme Emperor, Zhu Qizhen may be willful, cowardly, ambitious, but in the end, he still knows how big a mistake he has made.

It was precisely because he didn't dare to see the 20 officers and soldiers who died in civil engineering, so he avoided it in every possible way.

Even, he didn't care about everything, but Shu Liang's sentence "The ancestors and heroic spirits are above, what a shame now?" was indeed a knife in his heart.

The ancestors handed the country into my hands, but it turned out like this...

He was indeed ashamed of his ancestors and his father, who had placed high hopes on him.

For a moment, Zhu Qizhen almost had an impulse to go to Tumubao to pay homage.

But, after all, he is a "reasonable" person.

So, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to back down, Zhu Qizhen silently retreated into the room...

 Today's update, the computer has been doing badly...
