Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 75 The Art of Compromise

Empress Dowager Sun looked at Wang Zhi with a somewhat struggling expression.

Wang Zhi's meaning is very clear, since the matter has already happened, then try to control it in a small area.

After all, King Yu was the person who was in charge of the court situation. Li Yongchang took people to attack Concubine Xian, and the trouble was so big that even people were injured, and there was no conclusive evidence. If it was spread to the outer court, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

So the best way is to put all the charges on Li Yongchang's head.

However, Empress Dowager Sun was not reconciled. Li Yongchang had followed her for so many years, and this time he was ordered by her to go there. If she really wanted to deal with it, how would she manage the Six Palaces in the future?

What's more, she has already lost several times in the Outer Dynasty. If she loses this round, what will she do to restrain this clearly evil king in the future?

Besides, even if she was willing to throw Li Yongchang out as a scapegoat, would this King Yu be able to reveal this section so easily?
It's still kneeling!
However, what Empress Dowager Sun did not expect was that Zhu Qiyu did not chase after him, but said.

"Holy Mother, this minister thinks that what Otsukazai said is very true. Li Yongchang relied on the power in the palace to slander the virtuous concubine and commit chaos. Such thieves cannot be tolerated."

Just...that's it?

Empress Dowager Sun frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Zhu Qiyu's remarks really beat Li Yongchang to death, but a mere chief eunuch, can he be satisfied?
Looking at Zhu Qiyu with his head down, the Queen Mother Sun didn't see it, and there was a trace of indifference in his eyes.

Zhu Qiyu said so, naturally he has his considerations.

If you really want to pursue this matter, it is absolutely necessary. With Yu Qian, a stupefied young man, I really want to discuss it in detail. How can I have something to do with the Queen Mother Sun? Hundreds of.

But the problem is, it's not necessary!

What happened in the palace was actually unexpected to Zhu Qiyu. It was the same sentence that he cared more about the safety of the Wu family and Wang family than the one or two help he added to his plan.

Lifting the lid and piercing the window paper about this matter will certainly make Empress Dowager Sun lose face, but it can't help her.

Come to think of it, this is also the reliance on which Empress Dowager Sun dared to do so.

After all, the empress dowager is the empress dowager. As long as she does not seek to usurp the throne of the dynasty, she will be ruled by the dynasty, and no one can do anything about her.

Doing so will do more harm than good!

Really want to make trouble, Empress Sun is obstructing her face, and it is necessary to go through a thorough investigation procedure. The Wu family just checked the Empress Dowager Sun's influence in the foreign court for him in the palace. Although he did not know how to investigate, but If you are caught any clues, it is also troublesome.

It would be better to let Li Yongchang take the blame, saying that he was obsessed with his own mind and committed chaos, so that the Queen Mother Sun will not be able to attack Wu again in the future, not only to keep the mother's concubine safe, but also to cut off the Queen Mother Sun's arm, it is safe. method.

Of course, the most important thing is that from Wang Zhi's attitude, Zhu Qiyu saw the attitude of Wenchen.

This court, after all, is the court of the emperor!

Even if the civil servants turned to him on the surface, it was only because of helplessness. The emperor's east palace was seven years old, Yuji was 14 years old, and he was in power for five years.

These people are aware of current affairs and know that under the situation that the army is under pressure, it is necessary for him to take charge of the overall situation, but in their hearts, they are not orthodox.

Therefore, they will never stand on Zhu Qiyu's side unconditionally. When they need to fight the enemy together, they are like an arm, but if they really want to say that they are loyal to him as King Yu, I am afraid that they may not have half of it.

As for Yu Qian, Zhu Qiyu can also guess his thoughts. Since that day in the hall, Zhu Qiyu and him have negotiated the Beijing camp, and the two have a tacit understanding.

In this situation, everything is about the big picture!

Specifically, it is to strengthen the prestige of King Yu, who is in charge of the court, and to gather the power scattered in the court as much as possible, so that one can get the greatest assurance of victory.

Therefore, Yu Qian will cooperate with Zhu Qiyu to suppress Xungui, and he will personally go to the battle to supervise Jingying regardless of the opinions of his subordinates.

That's why, from Yu Qian's point of view, he hopes that the bigger the trouble, the better, because the bigger the trouble, the more the Queen Mother Sun will pay to quell the trouble.

After all, the Son of Heaven was held hostage by the thieves, and as the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother Sun, even if she was determined now, was always an unstable factor in her resistance to the enemy.

It would be best for her to return to the harem in dismay, let go of all the power in her hands, and stop interfering in government affairs, that is the best!
However, this time, his idea was doomed to fail.

The old-fashioned Wenchen represented by Wang Zhi prefers stability and will not support him. Without the backing of the Wenchen Group, even if Yu Qian is a newly promoted seventh official, it is impossible to bring down the Empress Dowager Sun.

What's more, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to risk Wu's life at this time.

So this matter can only be compromised!

But sometimes, compromise does not mean concessions, but often means, more violent counterattacks...

Zhu Qiyu was so relieved, and the ministers present were relieved, and the Minister of Rites Hu Yu followed.

"Our Lady, what His Royal Highness King Yu said is very serious, slandering the late emperor's concubine, leading the crowd to enter the palace, disobeying the decree of the empress, and hurting the prince's concubine are all serious crimes. Li Yongchang is the inner prisoner in the palace. Slaves offend the masters, must not be tolerated, I beg the Virgin to condemn!"

Chen Yi, the censor of the Zuodu capital, also said: "I also think this is the case. In my dynasty, there was Wang Zhen who was arrogant and domineering, and oppressed the courtiers. Now there are people like Li Yongchang, who run rampant in the inner palace and hurt the concubines. It can be seen that this kind of power The eunuchs, who fear majesty but do not cherish virtue, need to be punished with severe punishments in order to make the people of the world feel at ease.”

Immediately after, ministers stood up one after another and spoke.

As long as the direction is determined, and things like swearing by changing the law, Wenchen is the best at it.

It didn't take a moment for this Li Yongchang to be among the courtiers, and he simply became a big traitor comparable to Wang Zhen.

Empress Dowager Sun sat aside and rubbed her forehead, feeling discouraged.

She knew that when Zhu Qiyu spoke, Li Yongchang's ending was doomed.

Recalling the events of these days, she always felt that she was not facing a clan prince who had no experience in political affairs, but an old fox who had been ups and downs in the court for many years.

He never seems to be impulsive!
In today's incident, with other people, maybe they would impulsively make things bigger, and then press on step by step.

But Zhu Qiyu won't!
He can always see the situation clearly and choose the solution that is most beneficial to him.

Empress Dowager Sun can imagine that after this incident, she lost Li Yongchang, her control over the inner palace must have been greatly weakened, and she could not even keep her own people.

And with this tossing, Wu's side can no longer move. The most important thing is that in the eyes of courtiers, Zhu Qiyu, the King Yu, is afraid that he will become a virtuous king who takes into account the overall situation and bears humiliation.

She is the only one who will be discussed behind her back for losing soldiers!

But the matter has come to this point, with so many ministers admonishing, Empress Dowager Sun can only go down the steps and said.

"The ministers are right, Jin Ying, you take Jinyiwei and Dongchang's troops, and immediately go to Changchun Palace, take down Li Yongchang and the rest of the people he brought, and put them in imperial prison. Li Yongchang slandered the late emperor. The left concubine, who committed a rebellion, will be assigned to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, and will not be allowed to return to Beijing forever!"

After listening to Empress Dowager Sun's disposal, the ministers were quite dissatisfied and felt light, but they looked at Zhu Qiyu and saw that he had nothing to say, so they swallowed the words.

Empress Dowager Sun took the look of the ministers in her eyes and sighed in her heart. She knew that this would be discussed, but she couldn't care less.

It is already very important to send Feng Yang. If she really kills her, how will she manage her subordinates in the future.

She took a step back and admitted that it was Li Yongchang who slandered the Wu family. In fact, she gave in to Zhu Qiyu and promised that she would not attack Wu again. Similarly, Zhu Qiyu should not pursue Li Yongchang.

Looking at this, Zhu Qiyu should have understood...

Of course, Zhu Qiyu understood. Although the culprit who injured Wang Shi, this kind of treatment was far from what he wanted, but now is not the time to care.

Zhu Qiyu bowed his head and said, "I thank the Queen Mother for her grace."

Having said that, Zhu Qiyu still knelt and didn't get up.

Empress Dowager Sun had a headache for a while. She knew that this matter was not over, and the harem had to be dealt with, but because of this matter, Zhu Qiyu resigned just now, and there was no explanation yet.

Need to say something nice...

Enduring the nausea in her heart, Empress Dowager Sun tried her best to make herself look warmer, but before she spoke, someone from the bottom went to work and kowtowed three times on the ground.

"The Virgin is honored, and now the Holy Mother is hunting in the north, the country is in critical condition, and the hearts of the people are turbulent. The old minister risked his death. Please make a big plan early to build the ancestral community."
