Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 68 Shocking News

Chapter 68 Shocking News
Jiyi Temple.

"See the Empress Dowager, and see His Royal Highness King Yu."

As Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qiyu each took their seats, all the ministers bowed and saluted.

"No gift! Everyone, please take a seat."

Zhu Qiyu's calm voice came over, so the ministers straightened up and took their seats.

After sitting down, before anyone spoke, a minister quietly looked at the faces of the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness.

I saw that the two of them were not in a good mood. The Empress Dowager had a cold face, and His Royal Highness King Yu also changed his usual genial face, looking very gloomy.

Not long after the meeting, Zhu Qiyu said when he saw that all the ministers had been packed up.

"Today, the elders are called to come, and there are two things to do. One is to report yesterday's military, and the other is to do the big court meeting."

"Because the matter of the military report is of great importance and involves the emperor, this king specially invited the queen mother to come and discuss and decide together."

The minister below listened, and he probably had a preparation in his heart.

It seemed that this small court meeting was not an impromptu intention, but had been prepared for a long time, probably for the military report that His Royal Highness had just mentioned.

But speaking of the Great Ceremony...

The hearts of the elders are raised again. Isn’t this all over, the reprimand has been reprimanded, and the punishment has been punished. Is it possible that there is still something that hasn’t been settled yet?
However, Zhu Qiyu opened the mouth and said regardless of the thoughts of the people below.

"Yesterday at noon, Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, sent the latest military newspaper, which said that there was a yellow paper document sent by the Wara Pingzhang Ala Magistrate, Ziyun was the emperor's edict."

"The affairs involved are very large, and Yang Hong did not dare to be special, so he ordered people to seal up the documents overnight and send them directly to the Ministry of War."

As soon as these words came out, the elders present instantly forgot the affairs of the Great Court Meeting.

Wang Zhi, who had squinted his eyes, instantly regained clarity in his old eyes, and immediately got up and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, does anyone else know about this?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, glanced at Yu Qian beside him, so Yu Qian got up and said, "Don't worry Otsuka, the military newspaper is sent directly to this official, and it will be delivered to His Royal Highness King Yu immediately after I open it."

"So far, only me and His Royal Highness King Yu have known the details, but the military report has not been issued secretly, so many people know about the existence of this military report."

Wang Zhi nodded, cupped his hands, and sat down again.

The ministers present also reacted at the moment, this is really a big deal!
Not to mention what the content of this "yellow paper document" is, after Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, people with a little political sensitivity immediately realized a problem.

That is, the validity of this document!
In the past, Oara had already been entangled with the Son of Heaven to repeatedly ask for property.

It took a lot of time for the imperial court to unify their opinions, and on the grounds that the holy car was held hostage, the generals along the border were ordered to reject all the demands made by Oara.

But now, it seems that the other side has also realized this problem, so he directly took out the edict!

You must know that things like hand edicts that fall on paper are not the same as oral edicts. At least in terms of effectiveness, hand edicts are far more effective than oral edicts.

If Oara just asked for property verbally, he refused, but a hand edict was equivalent to an imperial decree.

No matter whether the emperor is currently in captivity or what, the emperor is the emperor, and his hand edict represents the imperial power, and denying the hand edict is tantamount to fighting against the imperial power.

Of course, this isn't the most important thing either.

Not to mention a hand decree, it is an official imperial decree. In theory, the Sixth Division also has the authority to seal and return it.

But it was a time of peace, and now it is different from usual.

If the emperor is in the capital, after the seal is returned, the emperor will deal with the edict again.

But now that the Son of Heaven has been taken captive, where can he send it back?

I can't, Owara sent a hand edict, and the court refuted it. What is the majesty of the imperial power?

But the most important thing at the moment is to see what is written in this yellow paper document...

So the ministers immediately focused all their eyes on Zhu Qiyu.

Even Empress Dowager Sun couldn't take care of her own thoughts and concentrated her mind.

She was naturally aware of the seriousness of this matter, especially seeing Zhu Qiyu being so aggressive and summoning so many important officials over, she felt a surge of unease in her heart.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Qiyu took out a military newspaper from his sleeve. After opening it, he took out a yellow paper document.

The minister sitting in the front clearly saw that the handwriting on the yellow paper was written with a red pen.

"This is the so-called hand edict, please take a look at it."

Zhu Qiyu unfolded the yellow paper and first handed it to Empress Dowager Sun.

Empress Dowager Sun took the yellow paper and looked up with a determined mind. After a few glances, her heart suddenly sank. The knuckles of the hand holding the yellow paper turned white, and she wished to tear the yellow paper to shreds on the spot.

But she didn't do it in the end.

With so many ministers present watching it, it is simply unrealistic to want to destroy it.

Besides, besides her, Yu Qian and King Yu both knew the content, and it was meaningless to simply destroy such a piece of yellow paper.

But even so, the yellow paper was still in her hands, and it was slightly deformed.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu winked, and a servant stepped forward and took the yellow paper from Empress Dowager Sun's hand. Empress Dowager Sun only hesitated for a few breaths before letting go.

So this yellow paper was passed on to the officials below.

The minister at the bottom also held back his own emotions, did not stand up, and waited for the yellow paper to be handed over.

But without exception, all the ministers who had seen this yellow paper turned extremely ugly.

Zhu Qiyu waited by the side, although he was anxious, he did not rush.

It is no longer enough to read such a major event. It must be seen by all the ministers present in order to win the trust of others.

He already knew the contents of this yellow paper document, but it actually only said two things.

First of all, Zhu Qizhen, as the emperor of Daming, announced the opening of the mutual trade between Daming, Oara and Tatar, which had been banned.

At the same time, the Mongolian Khan Tuotuobuhua was recognized as the Emperor of Dayuan, and the canonization was also first as the Mongolian Taishi, and announced that the Ming Dynasty would be on good terms with Mongolia forever.

You must know that although Daming is used to calling him first, but in fact, the co-owner of the Mongolian department is not also the first. He is also only the Mongolian Taishi, and the real leader of the Mongolian department is the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Zhaozong. Great-grandson, named Tuotuo Buhua.

However, since the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian part has been divided into two large tribes of Tartar and Oirat and many small tribes.

Tuotuo Buhua was originally the leader of the Tatar clan, but later united with Yexian's father Tuohuan, unified the Mongolian clans, and established a new khan court, known as the khan.

But also for this reason, in this new Khan Court, as the leader of the Oara tribe, he first held most of the real power.

Including this war, it was also provoked by Yu Ye first, so the court, by default, was the one who called the shots first.

But in terms of name, Tuotuobuhua is the co-owner of the Mongolian Ministry.

Of course, this is Mongolia's own statement.

From the Daming side, the Oirat tribe was a vassal of Daming, and was first the King Jingshun who was conferred by the imperial court.

As for Tuotuobuhua, the Tatars under his command were the old Yuan forces, so Daming only recognized him as a Mongolian tribe, and did not recognize his khan at all.

Because of this, they also attacked the Ming Dynasty first. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, it was not a foreign invasion, but a rebellion by a vassal!

In other words, the content of this edict actually means.

Daming admitted that the Oirat tribe was separated from Daming's control and was no longer a vassal of Daming. At the same time, he acknowledged that the Khan Court established by Tuotuobuhuahe Ye was the co-lord of Mongolia and was on an equal footing with Daming...

After about a stick of incense, Zhu Qiyu asked, "Everyone has read it, what should I do with this so-called edict."

But perhaps because the matter was too shocking, Zhu Qiyu asked a sentence, but no one answered for a while...
