Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 566
Pulling back his thoughts from the past, Zhu Qiyu didn't comment on what Shu Liang said.

Instead, he set his gaze on the playbook in front of him, and waved at Shu Liang rarely, motioning him to take the playbook over.

Shu Liang naturally had no hesitation, the emperor asked him to watch, and he just watched.

This is not just one memorial, but several, but the content is basically related to the promotion and transfer of officials.

The first one was submitted by Yu Shiyue, the second assistant of the cabinet, who recommended Xiang Wenyao, the minister of the Ministry of officials, to be transferred to the minister of the Ministry of war.

The second book was written by Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War. He recommended Yu Shanqian, the minister of the Ministry of War, to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Officials. At the same time, he recommended Fang Gao, the head of the Armory Department, to be the doctor of the Armory Department. He is a doctor of the staff.

Then the third book happened to be published by Chen Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who recommended Xu Youzhen as a servant of the Imperial Academy, and moved to the doctor of the Water Division of the Ministry of Industry.

These few books are the main ones, and there are still a few more books, all of which are played by officials of the science and Taoism.

Because he was in front of the imperial court, Shu Liang didn't dare to delay, so he quickly looked through it, focusing on the proposals of the cabinet and the ministers who presented them.

Immediately, he had some direction in his heart, pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Your Majesty, this servant remembers that Lord Xu once worked with Chen Shangshu to control the floods and made great achievements. If he wants to transfer to the Ministry of Industry, it should be the most suitable."

Obviously, Shu Liang felt that the reason why he showed him this was for Xu Youzhen.

However, Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said.

"Let Xu Youzhen go for a while, it's not appropriate to let him go to the capital water department."

Chen Xun was quite concerned about this student. Although he would not try his best to fight for Xu Youzhen, he could still do it by taking advantage of the frequent personnel transfers in the court.

Of course, there is a high probability that Xu Youzhen had inquired about something about the Son of Heaven and the Supreme Emperor before looking for Li Xian, which made the old man guess something, so she wanted to help her.

However, for Xu Youzhen, since he is so enthusiastic about being an official, and if he dared to take this road, wouldn't it be a waste of talent to put him in the capital water department?
Such a person should be in the center of the storm!
Ever since Shu Liang reported that Xu Youzhen had such thoughts, Zhu Qiyu had plans for his whereabouts. He wanted to be famous, so why not give it to him?

After denying Xu Youzhen's transfer to the Capital Water Division, Zhu Qiyu continued.

"What I want you to read is the memorabilia written by Yu Shiyue and Yu Qian."

Shu Liang blinked his eyes, a little unclear about the emperor's intentions, turned his head to look at Cheng Gonggong, but found that Cheng Gonggong was expressionless.

Shu Liang is naturally very good at carrying out the emperor's orders, but when it comes to government affairs, he knows in his heart that he still lacks a lot.

Therefore, Shu Liang thought about it for a long time in front of the emperor, and then said cautiously.

"My lord, according to my servants, Yu Shaobao's actions are probably in preparation for the next rectification of the army, but what the censors said is correct. Once this is mobilized, the entire military department will become Yu Shaobao's. Bao's confidant has become a tool of the family, and he is suspected of being too big to lose, so the servants feel that it is not accurate."

Be cautious, but Shu Liang knew in his heart that when the emperor asked him, he just wanted an answer, whether it was right or wrong, it was much better than perfunctory and ambiguous.

Therefore, he didn't say that he should invite the holy judge, and the emperor Gan Gang's arbitrary words expressed his opinion directly.

But immediately, he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

Because, as his words fell, Cheng Jing, who was expressionless, raised his brows and gave him a satisfied look.

On the contrary, the emperor frowned, sighed, and said.

"The cabinet intends to discuss these memorials, but Cheng Jing told me that they should be rejected directly. As for the reasons, they are similar to what you said."

So, Cheng Jing cupped his hands aside and said.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers are aware of Yu Shaobao's character and why Yu Shaobao did this, but people's hearts cannot withstand temptation. Moreover, once a power is formed, sometimes it is not determined by a person's will. If this example is set, it may be difficult for the court to deal with it in the future, please think twice."

Zhu Qiyu understood that these words were old-fashioned.

Cheng Jing didn't have any experience in his previous life, but he had a unique vision after being in contact with political affairs in the Supervisor of Rites for a long time.

Although these two memorials are published separately, the intended meaning is clearly revealed.

Yu Qian just wanted to completely hold the Ministry of War in his hands. Combined with the memorial book of the military station that he handed over some time ago, it is not difficult to guess what this Shangshu of the Ministry of War wants to do.

However, things are often not so simple.

As far as the matter of the military colony is concerned, who can guarantee that Yu Qian's strategy must be correct, and his memorials have really passed, and these people who have been promoted have received Yu Qian's favor, and naturally obey his orders.

Then, once Yu Qian makes a mistake, it means that the entire military department has made a mistake. How much impact will the mistakes made by such a central department, one of the six departments, under full operation, have on the court situation?
Second, how to control the risk?
Cheng Jing and Shu Liang were very cautious in what they said, but the meaning was also very clear. The Ministry of War holds the right to issue and issue troops. Hiding the truth, the illegal operation mobilized the army, so what should I do?

Even though everyone believed that Yu Qian would not do this, what if...

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if none of this happened, what would happen next?
It is easy to release power, but it is not so simple to take it back. In the current situation, Yu Qian wants to completely grasp the military department in order to cure the chronic diseases of the army.

What about later?
As Cheng Jing said, once forces are united, most of the time, they are independent of individual will.

At that time, the Ministry of War will become its own body, and it will be inevitable for foreign officials to be transferred in, isolated and excluded.

These kinds of problems are not trivial, so, from a rational point of view, indeed, direct refutation is the best way.

As for the matter of the military colony, the imperial court has been here for so many years. Building a dojo in a snail shell is what a minister of the court should have.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven still hesitated, Cheng Jing thought for a while, then continued.

"My lord, regarding this matter, the minister still has something to report."

Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and looked at Cheng Jing as if asking, so Cheng Jing continued.

"This matter has something to do with the cabinet. These memorials are all about the same thing, so at that time, the cabinet held a cabinet meeting together. At that time, the ministers were listening, and the process... and the next cabinet meeting It's all different."

Now, even Shu Liang became interested.

Although he would not take the initiative to interfere in government affairs, as the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, the more he knew about such secrets, the better.

But these words smacked with conjecture, so Cheng Jing also seemed very cautious, said.

"In ordinary cabinet meetings, although the elders in the cabinet do not say that they all have different opinions, they always have different attitudes. However, this time the cabinet meeting seemed to go smoothly. Yu Cifu is nothing more than that. Shaobao has entered the playbook, presumably the two of them must have communicated in private."

"However, the other cabinet ministers, including Lord Shoufu and Elder Zhu Ge, have rarely agreed, that is to go to the court to discuss, so the ministers feel..."

"The cabinet wants to make things big!"

The following words were not said by Cheng Jing, but by Zhu Qiyu.

This incident has already caused quite a storm in the court, if Zhu Qiyu refuted this memorial, then everything will naturally be calm.

However, if it really comes to the court meeting, then the impeachment of Yu Shi Ke Dao officials will inevitably overwhelm Yu Qian. At that time, even if it is really passed, it will be a major blow to Qian's prestige.

Therefore, from this perspective, Cheng Jing actually had good intentions.

He knew in his heart that the Son of Heaven valued modesty, that's why he advised him like this.

As for the starting point of the cabinet, it is actually very easy to understand.

Although as an institution that reconciles internal and external affairs, the responsibility of the cabinet should be to maintain the stability of the court as much as possible and ensure smooth and peaceful communication between the internal and external courts.

However, this matter is not easy.

Once Yu Qian's proposal is passed, the Ministry of War will become an iron bucket, and the needles will not penetrate and the water will not be poured through. Then, it will be very difficult to deal with the government affairs of the Ministry of War in the imperial court.

At that time, it will be the cabinet itself that will sit in the wax.

Therefore, it is also the task of the cabinet to ensure that there are no ministers or yamen who are too big to lose their tails.

Of course, from an objective point of view, what they did was indeed suspected of cheating Qianqian.

However, since Shaobao dared to do this, he must be prepared to bear the consequences.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, even if he understands the cabinet's intentions, he can't be harsh on them. Every government office has its own responsibilities. If the cabinet doesn't do this, it will be incompetent.

Of course, if he doesn't want to make trouble like this, it's very simple.

Just like what Cheng Jing suggested, if you directly dismiss Yu Qian's memorial, everything will naturally disappear invisibly.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, whether it is from the perspective of risk or protecting Yu Qian, it seems that the best choice is to dismiss.

but……

Shaking his head and smiling, Zhu Qiyu suddenly figured it out, so he turned his head and asked Cheng Jing.

"Cheng Jing, let me ask you, is it Yu Qian's job to straighten out the army, or is it the court's job?"

This……

Cheng Jing obviously realized something, but he still answered honestly.

"Of course it's a matter for the court, but..."

"The affairs of the court are my affairs!"

Zhu Qiyu interrupted Cheng Jing's words, let out a soft breath, seemed to feel a little suffocated sitting, got up and walked out of the palace door, facing the cold wind blowing on his face, stood on the porch, watching the silvery moonlight shining on the snow On, Star-studded.

He seemed to be responding to Cheng Jing, but also seemed to be responding to himself, said.

"In this matter, Yu Qian did nothing wrong, the cabinet did nothing wrong, and Ke Dao did nothing wrong. It was me who was wrong!"

Hearing these words, Cheng Jing and Shu Liang were shocked, and quickly fell to the ground, saying.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."

However, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said.

"No, you are right. These two memorials have really been passed, and the Ministry of War will not lose its tail. Therefore, it is right for the cabinet to check and balance. Ke Dao's impeachment of Yu Qian is also fulfilling his duties, but Yu Qian did nothing wrong."

"The military colony has been corrupted to this point, and it is difficult to rectify it without iron fists. Yu Qian has put all the pressure on himself in this memorial. No matter whether he succeeds or fails in the end, he will not have a good reputation."

"Yu Tingyi is a minister, I know this!"

Saying this, Zhu Qiyu suddenly turned around, with his back to the moonlight, his soft face was reflected in the light of the palace lantern, and his expression was quite dim, so he couldn't see clearly.

However, Shu Liang and Cheng Jing knelt on the ground, but they could vaguely hear a trace of regret and guilt from the change in the emperor's tone.

The emperor said: "This responsibility is the way in Yu Qian's heart, but... this should be my business, but now, it is all on Yu Qian's body. This is my fault!"

In the previous life, Yu Qian also grew up step by step, so that in the end, because of Yu Qian's power, the monarch and his subjects were alienated, and Zhu Qiyu took more precautions against him.

However, Zhu Qiyu at that time didn't realize it.

The reason why Yu Qian became Yu Shaobao who was admired by the court at last, the biggest reason why the generals thousands of miles away would tremble with trepidation was that he, the emperor, was too weak.

As a vassal king who had never received the education of a prince, Zhu Qiyu at that time was extremely unfamiliar with government affairs.

The only ones he can rely on are these ministers, and Yu Qian is the best of them.

Therefore, he must delegate power, and Yu Qian must also seize power.

Only in this way can the Daming Artifact, which was on the verge of breaking at that time, be restored to its vitality.

Ask yourself, if Yu Qian has been like the light from the beginning, not so outstanding, he will never be the first one to be liquidated after the restoration of Nangong.

Moreover, given the situation at the time, even without the restoration of Nangong, with Zhu Qiyu's defense against Qian, sooner or later he would be idle and suppressed, and if it was serious, he might even...

However, it is different now.

Zhu Qiyu is not the Zhu Qiyu who was at a loss when facing the government, but Yu Qian is still the same Yu Qian who is responsible for the society.

Therefore, it is not Yu Qian who is wrong, but Zhu Qiyu, the emperor.

Perhaps a year ago, he could still have a reason to say that he had just ascended the throne, and no one was available in his hands, so he needed a minister like Yu Qian to stand at the front desk.

But now, although his subordinates are not said to be talented, they don't need Yu Qian to bear the pressure of the court for him.

The emperor has been the emperor for a long time, and Zhu Qiyu has forgotten that there are some things that the emperor should be responsible for.

He walked back to the hall, sat down on the throne, picked up the ink pen and wrote a few lines on the two memorials, and then put the memorials in front of Cheng Jing, said.

"Pass down the decree, which was approved by Yu Qian, ordered Yu Shan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to be transferred to the Ministry of Officials, Fang Gao, the head of the Armory Department, was promoted to be the doctor of the Armory Department, Hong Chang, the patrol censor, was promoted to be the doctor of the Military Selection Department, and the head of the Chariot Driving Department was promoted to Fang Silang. middle."

"According to Yu Shiyue's performance, order Xiang Wenyao, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to be transferred to the Ministry of War."

"In addition, Shen Jing, a member of the Ministry of Officials, was promoted to be the doctor of the car driver, and Li Shi, a scholar of the Dongge University, was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War."

"Xiang Wenyao and Li Shi, together with Yu Qian, the assistant minister, also manage the affairs of the Ministry."

This series of official transfers was dazzling, and the two servants brought by Cheng Jing quickly recorded them. Before they finished digesting, they heard the emperor hand over another memorial, and said.

"Approve Yuqian's memorial, and distribute the memorial to all yamen, and order the Ministry of War to formulate a detailed plan before the imperial court seals it, and submit it to the imperial court. After the seal is opened in the next year, the plan will be discussed by the court."

Cheng Jing took the memorial and took a look. Sure enough, it was the book "Please Rectify the Army Tunshu" written by Yu Qian.

Originally, Cheng Jing thought that this memorial would be discussed in court at another opportunity after tomorrow.

However, the meaning of what the emperor said was that instead of going to the court to discuss whether to vigorously rectify the military settlements, the Ministry of War will directly draw up a plan and enter the stage of discussing specific operational steps.

The Sacred Heart has been determined, and the law will follow naturally!
Taking a long breath, Cheng Jing bowed and stepped back lightly.

If there is no accident, these edicts will be spread throughout the court tomorrow.

In addition to the matter of the prince that will be discussed by the court tomorrow, one can imagine what kind of turbulent waves will be set off in the court tomorrow...
