Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 63
I have to say that the civil servants at this time are not as stubborn as those in the late Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu made a real move, Wang Hong, who was the first to do it, stood up and bowed his head to confess his guilt.

Immediately afterwards, as the incense head ignited a little, one after another young officials, although pale and walking in battle, still stepped forward firmly.

"The minister supervises the censor Zhu Fu..."

"Chen Bingke gives things to Ye Sheng..."

"The minister, the censor, Liu Yan..."

Until the incense burnt out, a total of seven censor officials came out, bowed down to the ground, and said.

"The minister is equal to the court beating and killing the minister, rude and unremarkable, leading all the ministers to fight in the court, breaking the imperial court's ceremonial system, willing to confess guilt, and imploring His Highness to forgive me, stop the guilt of the minister and other principal offenders, and not offend the court and other ministers."

These people's voices were not loud, and a few words were not neatly spoken, and some even had a slight vibrato, but at this moment, no one cared about their voices.

Looking at the seven Fengxian Kedao who were kneeling in the wind, all the ministers were sobbing with tears in their eyes.

Zhu Qiyu believes that after today, as long as the seven of them don't die, they will definitely become famous and become famous overnight.

However, the price is the possibility of death!
Ke Dao Fengxian minister ah...

Zhu Qiyu's heart was complicated, he sighed secretly, got up and swept his eyes over them one by one, and said lightly.

"It's still a bit of a strong character. Since the seven of you have stood up, this king will pretend that Ma Shun and the others were killed by the seven of you. Come here, put these seven people into the prison, and the rest of the servants will be punished. In March, the court is scattered!"

Leaving such a sentence, Zhu Qiyu turned around and returned to the palace, followed by the eunuch who accompanied him.

After Zhu Qiyu's figure disappeared behind Zuo Shunmen, Lu Zhong took a few small schools to take two steps forward, walked to the front of an important minister of Jiuqing, cupped his hands, and said.

"Old lords, the lower officials are ordered to act, offend!"

After that, he sent people to tie up the seven Kneeling officials, who were kneeling on the ground, and walked in the direction of Beizhen Fusi. Hundreds of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi who were on guard also filed in and exited the Meridian Gate. In the square, only the guards who daily guard the palace gate are left.

In the huge Meridian Gate Square, the blood of Ma Shun and others still remained on the ground paved with blue bricks, and the incense table and honor guards that Shang Baosi had originally displayed were scattered on the ground during the fight just now.

The older elders, supported by the young officials, struggled to get up, looked around, and saw that the court officials, who were originally dignified, were now covered in dust, unkempt, with messy buns, and their clothes were wrinkled, looking extremely embarrassed.

What's more, many people are still pale and panic-stricken. They are soaked with sweat and their clothes are tightly attached to their bodies. There is no way to have the appearance of a court official.

Looking at the several officials who were escorted to the prison by Jinyiwei, all the important officials looked at each other, and a strong sense of bleakness filled their hearts.

What is this!
It was obviously a mighty and vigorous campaign to help the country, and how did it get to such a level?

Most of the courtiers do not understand this question, but Zhu Qiyu will understand here.

Strictly speaking, the Zuo Shunmen incident was the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty that a civil minister initiated a tough remonstrance!

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu, Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong, and the four generations of emperors, three of them are the emperors of the battlefield.

As for today, the most troublesome thing is that a few days ago, the ministers worked together to advise the emperor, urging the emperor not to do it in person.

But even that time, it was more of a persuasion than a tough remonstrance.

This time for remonstrance, Wenchen can be said to have gathered the right place and the right people.

For one thing, civil war should be considered a crime, and others may have room for consideration, but Wang Zhen’s party is an unforgivable crime. .

Secondly, the person they want to persuade is not the real emperor, but a prince of a clan with very weak prestige, which greatly reduces their pressure. In particular, although this prince is not powerful enough, he has strong prestige. Political edicts, which are not the real Son of Heaven but can represent imperial power, can be said to be a good target for violating Yan Zhi’s advice.

In the end, although this action was initiated by the civil servants, due to the particularity of the civil and civil war, the Xunqi and Wuchen lineages also gritted their teeth towards Wang Zhen's party. The civil and military officials rarely reached an agreement on this point.

So many favorable conditions came together, and finally contributed to such a tough and crazy attitude of the courtiers.

I thought it was a sure thing, but it turned out like this...

All the ministers looked around, and there was only a sense of sadness and anger in their hearts.

The country is in such a crisis, they did their best, but they were suppressed by such a strong force. Where is the way out for the court, the government, and the national artifact?
Seeing the gloomy and depressing atmosphere in the field, Yu Qian felt a little anxious and couldn't help but said: "My colleagues, don't be depressed, this time I am remonstrating for the sake of rectifying the society, but under the excitement of the crowd, there is indeed a transcendence of etiquette. At this place, although His Royal Highness King Yu was furious for a while, he also understood my heart, otherwise it would be so simple to just put Wang Hong and a few colleagues in prison?"

Chen Yi also said: "What Yu Shangshu said is very true, we are appointed officials of the imperial court, we are dedicated to serving the country, and we should act in accordance with the imperial regulations. What I have done today is excusable, but it is not an example. I wait for the officials of Taiyuan to be the backbone of the imperial court, everyone, is it possible that because of this, you have forgotten the grace of the imperial court, the righteousness of etiquette and law, cherishing your body for not moving forward, and worrying about your own failure?"

One of the two sang the red face to comfort the minister, and the other sang the white face to scold them for not moving forward when they encountered a little setback, and turning the corner to encourage them. This finally dissipated a lot of the confusion and depression that permeated the field, but still Many ministers couldn't help but said.

"What Da Sima and Lord Zongxian said, we all understand that as ministers of the imperial court, we dare not fail to do our best for the country, but we have already made such remonstrances, and His Royal Highness King Yan still refuses to determine the matter of civil engineering and deal with the king. To revive the party, is it true that we have to wait to welcome the emperor back?"

It has been a few days since the military report arrived in Beijing, and he has repeatedly asked for money and silk, and the rumors of reneging on promises have gradually spread. Although the ministers dare not speak, in fact, they have gradually calmed down and can welcome the emperor back in a short time. Heart, if not so , they will not choose to remonstrate at this time.

"Yeah, Da Sima, civil engineering matters are closely related to the next defense matters. If the imperial court does not say anything for a long time, rumors will spread among the military and civilians, and it will be difficult to have the same hatred and hatred. …”

Those who can rank in the court meeting are basically discerning people who are extremely sensitive to the court situation.

Although Yu Qian is a new minister, but at this time of crisis, the position of the Ministry of War is already higher than usual. In addition, Yu Qian has newly taken up the errand of the Admiral Jingying. Leaving aside his qualifications and prestige, he is already a leader in real power. A well-deserved leader of foreign affairs.

Coupled with these moments of panic, Yu Qian spoke out to comfort everyone. Therefore, most of the courtiers present subconsciously regarded Yu Qian as the backbone.

In response to this situation, the two veteran officials, Wang Zhi and Hu Xun, looked at each other, but they did not speak in tacit understanding.

The struggle for power also depends on the time!
Right now is a time of crisis, and it is necessary for capable and powerful ministers to stand up and preside over the overall situation. Both of them are too old and have enough prestige, but their physical energy can't keep up.

For the overall situation, we should also work together to ensure Yu Qian's position!
Bowing his head and taking a step back silently, a strange thought suddenly appeared in Wang Zhi's heart.

Could it be that today's situation was deliberately done by His Royal Highness King Yu?One of the purposes is to make Yu Qian the core of the court, so as to facilitate the command of the next battle?Otherwise, how to explain that Xun Qi would suddenly recommend Yu Qian to be the admiral of Beijing Camp...

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Zhi still denied the idea. If it is said that Yu Qian was asked to supervise Beijing Ying, King Yu and Xun Qi had negotiated in advance. Unexpectedly, if King Yu can even count this, then he will not believe it.

So far, His Royal Highness King Yu has given them too many surprises and surprises, but if you want to instigate such a large-scale event, you must have deep connections in the court.

Wang Zhi has been in the court for many years, and he is also in charge of the Ministry of Officials. He knows the origins of most of the courtiers in the court. He is very aware that there are very few people who have friendship with His Royal Highness King Yu, let alone people who are King Yu. .

Maybe it's a coincidence...

On the other side, Yu Qian didn't know what Wang Zhi was thinking, but in the face of the request from the ministers, his eyebrows twitched, and he felt embarrassed for a while.

These ministers are right. The reason why they insist on characterization of civil engineering is to unify the voices of the court.

The ministers in the current court, of course, all believe that this defeat was caused by Wang Zhen, but one day without a decision determined by the court, it will not be peaceful.

People who are related to this war are naturally apprehensive and irrelevant people, and they will discuss and guess all kinds of things.

Therefore, defining the matter of civil engineering is not only the need of the ministers, but also the determination of the court to swear to death and the decisive battle of Oara in the hearts of the people of the world.

But now...

Yu Qian also had some headaches. His Royal Highness King Yu would not understand these truths, but why did he insist on disposing of Wang Zhenyi's party and define the matter of civil engineering?

Is it really taking into account the situation after welcoming back the emperor?

Yu Qian is a little uncertain, but what is certain is that Zuo Shun makes such a fuss in front of the door, and it may not be easy to bring it up again.

Just as the ministers said just now, they have already made such a concerted effort to remonstrate, and King Yan still insists on not obeying. Is it true that he wants to kneel outside the Wumen to remonstrate?
At this moment, a group of people came out from the gate of the palace, and the leader was Jin Ying.

He hurried to the front of the ministers and said.

"His Royal Highness King Yu has an order, all the ministers obey the order!"
