Of course, the emperor is the emperor after all, especially the current one, who led the Ming Dynasty to defend the country, repel the Wala, and has great prestige.
Even Yu Qianzai, with the emperor's sage judgment, can still suppress it.
But if we think about it in the long term, if the emperor hesitates, will the new emperor be able to control such a powerful minister?
So in fact, Yu Qian's situation at this time is actually embarrassing.
He wants to do something great, but at the same time he also understands that the higher he goes, the greater the risk.
What's more... Yu Qian has another reason that he hasn't said yet.
As early as a few months ago, Yu Qian became aware of the confrontation between him and the emperor, who was still King Tan at the Jiyi Palace.
There are some things that they cannot agree on...
One day, the emperor would take action against him, but he did not expect that this day would come so early.
A trace of self-mockery flashed across Yu Qian's face and he said.
"This passion and passion can be spread everywhere! Your Majesty changed the commander-in-chief this time because he knew that I would definitely object. If I didn't say a word this time, your Majesty would also create trouble again and destabilize the court. Instead of doing this,
, how can I still enjoy my old age in peace if I invite myself to leave!"
Seeing him so lonely, Yu Shiyue felt a little uncomfortable, although he had to admit that what Yu Qian said made sense.
but……
"Tingyi, you are too pessimistic. In my opinion, Your Majesty is not someone who treats meritorious officials harshly. Even if he is afraid of you, he will not be dismissed from office so seriously."
"You contradicted His Majesty like this in the palace today, and he just punished you with a grounding. The court is employing people, so you must not take yourself so lightly."
Yu Qian came back to his senses, his lips moved but he didn't speak.
Even if we are old friends, there are some things we cannot say.
After pondering for a long time, Yu Qian sighed, with some worry in his eyes, and said.
"Brother Shichao, don't worry. If the country still has time to serve me, how can I spare my life? This ban may not be a bad thing for me, but I don't know how far your majesty must go to be willing to do so.
give up."
Yu Shiyue frowned and said.
"Does Ting Yi think that the grounding is just the beginning, will His Majesty take the next step?"
Yu Qian nodded and said.
"Yes, I don't know what it is specifically, but it is probably related to the Beijing Camp. The Minister of War will supervise the Beijing Camp, and it will eventually be irregular."
"Therefore, Your Majesty will definitely take back the power of the admiral of the Beijing camp, so I will be subject to a lot of impeachments in the next period of time."
"If His Majesty is willing to continue to use me, then taking back the capital camp will be the end. But if Your Majesty is too afraid, then I am afraid that my only option is to resign and return home."
With that said, Yu Qian turned to look at Yu Shiyue, with a trace of guilt in his eyes, and said.
"I originally thought that I could use the incident in the palace to clean up the relationship between Brother Shichao and me so that you would not be implicated, but I didn't expect that Brother Shichao was so smart and could see through Yu's true and falsehood at a glance."
"Now, you have been alone in my house for such a long time. No matter what you do, others will not believe that you and I have broken up."
When Yu Shiyue heard this, he didn't have any special reaction. Instead, a smile appeared on his face and he waved his hands.
"Since when did you, Yu Tingyi, become so sentimental?"
"You have your persistence, and I also have mine. I am willing to make friends with you because I value your passion and your heart for the country and the people. It has nothing to do with power."
"If I follow you when you are strong and avoid you when you are weak, then I will really become the person you say is a follower and a person with no integrity, and I will really not be worthy of your friendship!"
"Don't worry, I have been in power for so many years, and I am able to reach this point only because of my political achievements and official reputation. I act and sit upright. If I get involved with you casually, I don't have to stand in the court.
"
Seeing Yu Shiyue's heroic expression, Yu Qian's frowning brows finally relaxed a bit and said.
"Yes, Yu is very narrow-minded. It's really a blessing for me to have Brother Yu as my friend."
With that said, Yu Qian picked up the tea cup at hand and said.
"Today is New Year's Eve. If I don't want to get drunk with Brother Yu, I'll have tea instead of wine and give Brother Yu a drink!"
Yu Shiyue also raised a toast and said.
"Don't worry, Tingyi. His majesty is wise and decisive, and will not miss you, a minister of the country, just because of a little fear. You can just enjoy the New Year in your mansion. The Ming Dynasty is now full of waste, and it is your time to contribute!"
"
The relationship between the two was already good, and now that they have talked about it, it has naturally improved to a higher level.
With the matter in mind, Yu Shiyue didn't stay much longer. Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up and left.
However, just when Yu Shiyue was about to go out, Yu Qian opened his mouth and stopped him.
Yu Shiyue turned around in confusion and asked.
"Tingyi, is there anything else?"
Yu Qian seemed a little hesitant. He looked around and saw no one was waiting, so he said.
"Brother Yu, there is one thing I am just guessing. I have never been sure. I thought I could adapt to changes in the government, but now that I am banned from the house, I can only entrust it to Brother Yu."
As he spoke, Yu Qian lowered his voice and said a few words in Yu Shiyue's ear. The latter suddenly changed his expression and said in surprise.
"Is this happening?"
Yu Qian nodded and said.
"Xue Xuan, the minister of Dali Temple, has approached me several times, hoping that I would join them in the attack, but I did not agree. Since they have such a plan, they will not only look for me."
"In addition to the two people who just told Brother Yu, I'm afraid there are other people in the cabinet and the six ministries who will be attracted by them. After all, this matter will have to be done sooner or later."
As he said that, Yu Qian's face became a little worried again and said.
"However, now that the war has ended and the situation in the DPRK is still unstable, Your Majesty... it is not a good opportunity to bring up this matter again."
"I have a hunch that it won't be long before they can't hold themselves back and mention this matter in the court, which will cause a commotion."
"The situation in the court is changing rapidly, but stability must always be the top priority. I am banned from the house. If anything happens at this time, I can only rely on Brother Yu to work hard to maintain it."
Yu Shiyue frowned, and it took him a while to digest the news. After pondering for a moment, he nodded, looking a little embarrassed and said.
"It is my duty to do this. However, Tingyi, you also know that the cabinet is now a group of assistants. I can say a few words about matters involving the Ministry of War, but I am afraid that I alone cannot handle such a big matter.
!”
Yu Qian pondered for a moment and spit out a name.
"Wang Jianzhai!"
"I have made insinuations about his attitude towards this matter before. He is very firmly opposed to this matter. If there is a change in the situation of the government, Brother Yu can discuss it with him."
Yu Shiyue nodded, but before going out, he suddenly asked.
"Tingyi, according to your personality, you should support this matter. Why..."
Yu Qian was silent for a long time, so long that Yu Shiyue felt that he might not get the answer today.
Just when he shook his head and was about to leave, Yu Qian's faint voice came from behind him.
"Even if this matter needs to be done, it can't be done now. It's still too early. Besides... this matter must be done by only one person, not anyone else!"
