Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 546
In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing at Wang Ao's cautious look.

Shaking his head, he asked back with a smile.

"Do you believe Mr. Jiugao's words?"

Wang Ao blushed and did not speak.

Believe it or not, the attitude still needs to be expressed.

However, as the emperor said, this reason, even if he said it himself, felt untenable.

Otherwise, he and Wang Wen wouldn't rush over to the emperor to make a decision.

It is a great achievement to successfully welcome the Supreme Emperor back!
Zhu Jian is a civil servant. He has made such great achievements, and promotion to the official position is a matter of course.

Just like Wang Ao and Wang Wen at the beginning, one was directly promoted to the heavenly official and the other was directly promoted to the cabinet by virtue of the merits of the negotiation.

He said that the important matter of the election should not be used as a reward, but it was just a high-sounding word. If he really said it in the morning, he would be scolded to death by the gang of censors on the spot.

However, fortunately, the Son of Heaven did not continue to embarrass him, but turned to Wang Wen and asked.

"I'm afraid the pressure and criticism that Tianguan has suffered these days is not small?"

As a matter of fact, the discussion on how to reward Zhu Jian and others has already started from the time when the Supreme Emperor's Yijia arrived in Datong, and it did not start today.

It's just that, after all, the Supreme Emperor hadn't really arrived in Beijing at that time, so it hadn't been really put on the agenda. But now, it has been several days since the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing.

At the same time, he certainly understood Wang Wen's helplessness.

This old man has a stubborn temper, but he is not a person who does not understand strategy and is blindly tough.

From Wang Wen's standpoint, he didn't have much feeling about the return of the Supreme Emperor, but what he was more worried about was that the Supreme Emperor had other thoughts.

In fact, this is also the reason why Wang Wen once had impulsive thoughts.

There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. Once the Supreme Emperor returns to the court, this strange power relationship in the Tian family will inevitably be maintained for a long time.

Sure enough, such a thing happened just after the Supreme Emperor returned to court!
Zhu Jian has a very clear attitude and position. He is a person who sticks to his status. To him, although the Supreme Emperor has made big mistakes, he is still the emperor, the "big brother emperor" of the emperor.

Therefore, for Zhu Jian, he still believes that the court should be ruled by the Supreme Emperor.

Although Zhu Jian didn't say this, but Wang Wen had dealt with Zhu Jian in his early years, so he naturally knew what kind of character this old guy was.

Therefore, he was absolutely unwilling to let Zhu Jian enter such a confidential office as the cabinet.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to bear the criticism, and cut off the promotion of everyone in the mission, yes, everyone's promotion!
In the reward list prepared by Wang Wen, the top and bottom of the mission, as well as the people who participated in the reception, gave all the rewards given by the lord's seal of gold and silver, but none of them were promoted. Give!

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

After the Battle of Shawo, Zhu Jian went deep into Oala alone, persuaded him to agree to peace talks first, and brought Yuan Bin back. Later, he did not hesitate to give up his position as governor of Shaanxi and became the minister of Honglu Temple and the envoy of the mission. Almost dominated the entire process of the return of the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, if he wants to be rewarded, he must bear the brunt.

In order to suppress Zhu Jian, Wang Wen could only suppress everyone at the same time, otherwise, he would not be able to speak no matter what.

However, even so, he still received a lot of criticism and pressure.

This is also the reason why he did not present the memorial in the early court.

Wang Wen got the news a long time ago, and many officials from the Sixth Division and the Imperial Academy were all working hard, waiting for his memorial to be impeached like a storm.

He would not confront these people head-on, so, of course, he was sent directly to the emperor.

Arching his hands, Wang Wen said, "Your Majesty, as a minister in his position, he should naturally seek his own government. As the chief minister said, Zhu Jian is not suitable to serve as a minister in the cabinet."

"but……"

After the words fell, Zhu Qiyu suppressed a smile on his face, and continued with his voice calmly.

"There is nowhere else to put him but the cabinet."

Wang Wen was silent and did not speak.

Indeed, Zhu Jian's resume is extremely good. During the Battle of Oala, he made great contributions to the resistance. However, in order to stabilize the situation in Datong, he was overwhelmed and did not directly serve as the governor of Shaanxi.

Later, he was ordered to go to Wala alone, and persuaded him first, and brought Yuan Bin back, which was another achievement.

You must know that at the time when the Battle of Shawo was over, one arm was cut off first, and it was the time of rage, so one can imagine the danger of going to Oala at this time.

But this credit was not rewarded by the court.

On the contrary, he made sacrifices for the sake of the overall situation, and voluntarily transferred to Honglu Temple, just to be the official envoy of the mission, and continue to be responsible for the important event of welcoming the Supreme Emperor.

This kind of integrity is highly praised by the ruling and opposition parties!
Now that the Supreme Emperor has returned safely, Zhu Jian has made another great achievement. If all these things add up, if he is still suppressed and refuses to be promoted, it is really unreasonable.

Zhu Jian's current official position is the affairs of the Honglu Temple in charge of the imperial censor of the right capital. If he wants to be promoted, he must either be appointed as the real Qiqing in one step, or he can only enter the cabinet.

Qiqing has nothing to look forward to, one radish and one hole, it is impossible to let an important minister of Qiqing give way to him in order to promote him alone.

Therefore, the only one who can accommodate him is the cabinet.

After all, he came back with great achievements, and the two missions proved his courage and ability, and it was impossible to send him to Nanjing.

Moreover, strictly speaking, even the cabinet is condescending to Zhu Jian, but in the current imperial court, there are already people in the six ministries and seven ministers, as well as the first and second assistants of the cabinet, so Zhu Jian can only go to the cabinet. Be an ordinary cabinet minister.

Under such circumstances, Wang Wen's insistence on refusing to recommend him to the cabinet actually caused public outrage.

and so……

Without too much hesitation, Zhu Qiyu picked up the ink brush, wrote a few words on the memorial that Wang Wen handed over, and then handed it back to Wang Wen, saying.

"The reward from the Ministry of Officials is too simple, and the re-draft is rejected."

"In addition, Mr. Jiugao, you are here to draft an edict. This time when the Supreme Emperor returns to the court, the envoy Zhu Jian, deputy envoys Li Shi, and Luo Qi have made great achievements. Zhu Jian will be appointed as the prince's junior teacher, with double salary, and added as the secretary of the household department. Title, ordered to be a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, to join the cabinet as a counselor for maintenance."

"Li Shi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, titled Minister of the Ministry of Processing, was ordered to be a scholar of the Dongge University, and was appointed as a cabinet counselor. Luo Qi, the young minister of Dali Temple, was promoted to the Minister of Honglu Temple, and ordered to take charge of the affairs of Honglu Temple."

"In addition to this, the Ministry of Officials has drawn up a new list of rewards, and those who should be rewarded with hidden letters will be rewarded generously."

The words were so straightforward that Wang Ao didn't react for a while.

Wang Wen's expression was a bit complicated, but in the end, he didn't say much, just bowed his hands respectfully.

Therefore, Wang Ao didn't say much anymore. In all fairness, the emperor's treatment was naturally the best.

In this way, neither the cabinet nor the officials would be blamed, but Wang Ao did not expect Zhu Jian and Li Shi to join the cabinet.

Once they enter the cabinet, the situation in the cabinet may change again.

The two elders hurriedly withdrew from the palace with their own thoughts, and went to work separately.

But Zhu Qiyu sat behind the case and carefully read the memorial that Wang Ao handed over just now.

He always had a feeling in his heart that this matter was not as simple as it seems now...
