Looking at the cup that was gently pressed in front of him, Zhang Min didn't know what to say for a moment. He had so many questions in his heart that he didn't know which one to ask first.
There is no doubt that when Zhu Yi said, "The Chengguo Palace will not participate," he was definitely not referring to the Chengguo Palace family, but the so-called "more than a dozen uncles who regard the Chengguo Palace as a favor."
The marriage between the British government and the Chengguo government successfully stabilized the shaky Chengguo government, but at this time, it turned into trouble.
Zhu Yi said firmly, obviously not intending to discuss it with him.
After holding it in for a long time, Zhang Min asked.
"If I remember correctly, your father guarded the border many times in the early years, and the Chengguo Palace must have been involved in the military settlement. Even if the current situation is difficult and dangerous, and the Chengguo Palace cannot withstand the trouble, there is no need..."
There is no need to leave so firmly.
As a noble family, the iron certificate of alchemy is the greatest confidence.
As long as there is no solid evidence, even if everyone knows that they are behind it, there is nothing they can do.
Just like this time to stop the court meeting, the British government will certainly help, but the person who really takes the lead will only be Ningyuan Hou Renli.
Since he accepted the support from the British government, he naturally had to shoulder his due responsibilities.
The same is true for the Duke of Chengguo.
Zhang Shi never thought of asking the Chengguo Palace to come forward. In fact, if Zhu Yi wanted to, the Chengguo Palace could even remain silent on this matter.
However, not only did Chengguo Gongfu and his family take care of themselves, but they also asked the nobles of this family to stand by and watch, which Zhang Shi couldn't understand.
Facing Zhang Min's question, Zhu Yi looked calm, but said without hesitation.
"Although Cheng Guo Gongfu is in decline now, it still has some heritage."
"My nephew can try to make up for the military camp issue. I can persuade the uncles and nephews from various families. If necessary, my nephew can also try to compensate for part of their losses. It doesn't matter."
"The family wealth of Duke Chengguo can be dissipated, but the title must be taken back!"
After hearing these words, Zhang Shi was even more confused.
What does this have to do with title?
"To be honest, Uncle Shi, on that day, Yang Jie from the Changping Marquis Mansion came to visit my house..."
Therefore, Zhu Yi said to Zhang Shi what Yang Jie had said to him before, "unchanged".
"What, are you planning to overthrow Marquis Ning Yuan?"
After listening, Zhang Xi could not sit still immediately, stood up suddenly and said decisively.
"This will never work!"
The snow outside the window was falling thicker and thicker, but the study room was as warm as spring. Zhang Xi was pacing back and forth in the room, obviously trying to calm down the panic after hearing the news.
The marriage between the British Duke's Palace and the Chengguo Duke's Palace was granted by the Queen Mother in the palace. It has long been known to the whole court, and the two palaces have become a grasshopper on a rope.
The two governments have been fighting overtly and covertly for so long, and now that they are in decline, the two governments are finally uniting. It should be said that it is good for both governments' influence in the court.
However, there are disadvantages as well as advantages.
For example, the decisions made by the Chengguo Government would often involve the British Government.
Just like now...
After Zhu Yi explained the whole story, Zhang Shi understood what he meant by "can't do it".
The civil and military affairs of the DPRK and China were separated, and the emperor wanted to organize the military and military affairs and point his sword at his relatives, so he made preparations in advance and united most of the power of the civil servants.
On the noble side, Duke Li Xian of Feng Kingdom and Bo Fan Guang of Jing'an were all suppressed by the emperor. At most, they could just follow the crowd peacefully, and it was impossible for them to stand out.
However, Zhang Xi didn't point at them originally.
Again, the British government plus the Chengguo government can basically cover most of the Jingnan nobles.
Once this force can be completely unified, its voice in the court will be no less powerful than that of a group of civil servants.
In fact, this is what they have been doing.
However, each noble family has its own arrogance. Although they are divided into factions, their relationship with the British Duke or the Chengguo Duke is not a superior-subordinate relationship.
Therefore, on many matters, each government has its own attitude, and it is not easy to be completely convinced.
However, when it comes to rectifying the military garrison, there is no doubt that the interests of all the governments are the same, and it is not difficult to unite.
The premise is that no one is blocking it.
But now, Zhu Yi made it clear that Duke Chengguo... would stop it!
This attitude is enough to make many centrists hesitate, not to mention Zhu Yi's attitude is so firm.
Looking at Zhu Yi's resolute look, Zhang Xi had no doubt that if necessary, he could even completely fall out with the noble family that did not cooperate with him.
So actually when it comes to this, the meaning of Zhu Yi's sentence "can't do it" is very clear.
If the British Duke's government did not cooperate with him, then the Chengguo Duke's government would show off its carriages and horses in the court and work alone with the Changping Houfu.
But the trouble is, the two governments are now involved.
If the Duke of Chengguo did this in the court, then the British government would also fall into a quagmire of mutual suspicion.
In the marriage relationship between the two palaces, it should be said that the Chengguo Palace is relatively weak.
Therefore, when the time comes, the nobles of the British government will definitely not believe that this is the decision made by the Chengguo government itself.
They'll just be more likely to think...
This is the escape route the British government has prepared for itself!
After all, the British government would not personally come forward to do this kind of thing to oppose the imperial meeting. It would only be done by Ren Li and these nobles.
In this way, if something goes wrong, the British government can change its attitude at any time and attach itself to the Chengguo government because it has not personally come forward.
And as they were instructed by the British government to follow Ren Li and try their best to oppose the military settlement, I'm afraid they wouldn't have such a good way out.
By that time, no matter how Zhang Xi explained, he might not be able to dispel the doubts in the minds of these nobles, so the alliance would naturally fall apart.
So, the current situation is actually very simple.
The British government has been hijacked by Zhu Yi!
If you want to break the situation, you either have to break up with Duke Chengguo, and it has to be a big-picture break that is known to everyone; or you can only cooperate with Duke Chengguo.
Other than that, there is no choice.
Of course, if he could persuade Zhu Yi to give up on his own, then everything would naturally disappear.
but……
Zhang Xi stopped, looked at Zhu Yi with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Title, title...
As a distinguished family, nothing is more important than this!
To be honest, Zhang Xi himself can understand why Zhu Yi made this decision.
For a noble family, not having a title is like a duckweed without roots, and they are always worried.
The current situation in the Chengguo Duke's Mansion is very special. The title is still there, but it is not allowed to be inherited. Anyone who is neither above nor below will be uneasy if he is in Zhu Yi's position.
Zhang Xi must admit that if the method mentioned by Zhu Yi can really be achieved, then the probability that the Chengguo Palace can get back the title is at least 70%!
So, if it were him, he would do the same thing.
only……
Sitting down opposite Zhu Yi again, Zhang Xi asked solemnly with a heavy expression.
"Zhu Yi, do you really know what you mean by doing this?"
