Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 67 The New Pattern

Chapter 67 The New Pattern
Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qiyu went directly from Zuoshun Gate to Jiyi Hall, while the ministers went around to Donghua Gate to enter the palace. Relatively speaking, Empress Dowager Sun and the others should be faster, but after this confrontation, it was delayed for a while. At that time, when they arrived at Jiyi Hall, Jin Ying was already waiting in the hall with a group of ministers.

Because it is an important minister to discuss matters, there are not many people here this time, but each of them is a pivotal figure in the court.

It is worth noting that this time, the Wenchen side is still the six ministers and seven ministers plus the cabinet ministers, but the Xunqi side is not like the last time there are three or two big cats and kittens.

In addition to the leader Li Xian, Hou of Fengcheng, there are also three newly appointed governors. In addition, there are those who are temporarily acting for the affairs of the five army governor's office. It was Zhang Han, the commander-in-chief who was in charge of the Jingwei Command and Envoy Division.

Looking at it this way, in terms of numbers alone, the ranks of honorable and civil servants are basically the same.

The elders came earlier. Jin Ying is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Knowing that they had been tired all morning, he ordered tea to be prepared early.

The ministers of civil and military affairs used some in the hall, and gathered together in twos and threes to chat.

However, unlike the previous arrogance, at the court meeting, Xun Qi and Wen Chen were almost pin-pointed to Maimang and would not let anyone.

But when they got to this hall, the elders became peaceful.
After all, people who have reached their level can clearly distinguish between public affairs and personal friendships, and even if there is something in their hearts, they will not show it on their faces.

Above the court, there was a smile on his face, and there were a lot of stabbing knives in the back, but no matter what, the bosses still did a good job of saving face.

But looking at the small groups where they consciously get together, you can actually see a lot of things.

The more than a dozen ministers in the hall are divided into four groups at this moment, but they are not gathered in strict accordance with civil and military affairs.

From front to back, in the first order are Li Xian, Hou of Fengcheng, Guo Sheng, Hou of Cheng'an, Hu Xi, Minister of Rites, Wang Zhi, Minister of Personnel, and so on.

They are all seniors and have high prestige in the court, but they are also older, so they don't really manage things very much, but as long as they sit, they have a deterrent effect, perhaps because the cost of the court is too much. The energy of the few elderly people did not speak much, sitting in the chairs and closing their eyes and resting.

Immediately following the second sequence, on the other side are Chen Yi and Chen Xun, the censors of Zuodu, Gao Gu, and some officials from the six divisions.

This group of people were either officials of the Dao or the imperial court. In short, they had a high status among the civil servants.

Then came the third sequence, namely Yu Qian, Minister of War, Shen Yi, Minister of Household, and the newly appointed governor Shi Jing and Xincheng Bo Zhao Rong.

These people are relatively young, and including Yu Qian, they are all newly appointed officials, and they are all related to military affairs, so they naturally gather together. Unlike the previous two groups, these people are obviously There are primary and secondary points, and Yu Qian, who is the Admiral of the Ministry of War, is obviously the center of them.

Of course, the second and third sequences are just names. Except for Yu Qian, the strength and prestige of these two groups are similar, but the court respects Qingliu, so it is customary to put Qingliu civil servants before those in charge.

As for the last, it was the lower-ranked governor Tongzhi Wuxing and the commander Tao Jin. The three small groups in front were all bigwigs, and they were the only ones who were not even the palm seal officers, so neither of them dared to join up. , you can only hide by yourself.

The concubine Shi Jing, who had just been appointed as the governor, squeezed a piece of cake and looked at the maids in the palace who were busy in the palace.

In this court meeting, three new governors were appointed. Guo Sheng and Zhao Rong were both from honorable backgrounds. Only Shi Jing, although he was barely in the line of honors, his father and grandfather were only avant-garde guards from a thousand households. He didn't even have a title, and he was not welcome in the palace. God knows how the governor's authority could fall on him.

When Li Xian, Hou Li Xian, Hou of Fengcheng, came to ask his opinion yesterday, Shi Jing was greatly shocked, but since the authority was in his hands, Shi Jing naturally wanted to stabilize himself. For Yu Qian, the hottest minister of the Ministry of War and Beijing battalion Admiral Minister, you must be close to it.

Yu Qian took a sip of tea, thought for a moment and replied: "It must be for the military newspaper that came to Beijing yesterday, I don't know anything else, by the way, the concubine is now in charge of the five army governor's mansion, the Ministry of War and the Beijing camp have some affairs, I am afraid that I have to cooperate with the concubine..."

He didn't say anything, just clicked a little, and Yu Qian changed the subject.

I am afraid that only Yu Qian is the only one who really knows the inside story of the minister who is full of the palace, but he can't say it.

But since Shi Jing asked, he didn't want to answer. After all, Yu Qian is now the admiral of the capital, and after rectifying the defense of the capital, there are still many places that need the cooperation of the five military governors.

Shi Jing is a smart person. Yu Qian said this, and he knew that there were some things that Yu Qian was not easy to disclose, so he turned to discuss with Yu Qian the coordination and cooperation between the military department, the Beijing battalion and the five army governor's mansion.

On the other side, the elders were chatting gossip, but Jin Ying instructed the people, put another couch next to the main seat, and then put up a small bead curtain on the couch.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xun on the side couldn't help but ask: "Eunuch Jin, isn't His Royal Highness King Yu summoning me to wait for the discussion this time? Why is this..."

When the court is discussing matters, the ministers can only sit at the bottom, which is also the origin of the term "superior".

In this hall, all of them are important officials of the imperial court. In today's capital, the only people who are qualified to sit on top of them, except for His Royal Highness King Yu, are the Empress Dowager.

Coupled with this bead curtain, how could the courtiers not understand.

What only makes them puzzled is that what is the Queen Mother doing when discussing matters in the court?
When Chen Xun asked this question, the ministers who were talking on the side also stopped and looked at Jin Ying.

Jin Ying was not in a hurry, but he cupped his hands and said, "My lords, this is your Highness's order. Your Highness said that the matters discussed today are not all national affairs, but also related to the Son of Heaven, so he has already gone to invite the Empress Dowager. It will come later, please wait a moment."

After Jin Ying finished speaking, all the ministers below, except Yu Qian and a few others who knew the inside story, all the other ministers raised their eyebrows.

They thought that today's discussion was just an ordinary discussion.

After all, there are so many new members of the court, and it is such a special moment, so it is natural to get in touch earlier, but now it seems that since even the empress dowager is disturbed, it is definitely not a trivial matter.

For a while, the strings that these ministers had relaxed because of the end of the court meeting also tensed up again.

Just at this moment, the servant from the outside came in to spread the word and said.

"The Queen Mother is here, and His Royal Highness is here."

So these elders got up one after another and stood up again according to the civil and military order. Then, they saw that the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness King Yu walked in from the door almost at the same time...
