In the Hall of Qianqing, the six ministers and the imperial censors Xiao Weizhen and Li Shi, all with their own thoughts, remained silent in the face of Zhu Qiyu's "thundering rage". No one said a word.
You fool, everyone can see that His Majesty's rage is just an act.
Everyone even felt that His Majesty wanted to laugh a little!
There is no one here who is not a human spirit.
Your Majesty is still smiling at this time...which shows that everything is under control.
Anger is just a statement.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince is sitting on the couch with a smiling expression, which makes people whisper in their hearts. The smiling face of His Highness the Crown Prince always feels as sinister as a poisonous snake.
When he looks at you, you feel like he wants to eat you alive.
It doesn't look like ten years old.
Compared to His Majesty, who is beaming with joy, His Royal Highness's random change of temperament is even more terrifying.
Zhu Qiyu had enough scolding, sat down and asked everyone, "What's going on?"
Everyone looked at Yu Qian again.
War is the duty of the Ministry of War.
Yu Qian sighed secretly, he had been pushed onto the fire.
Send the few remaining regiments in Gyeonggi to fight against Chen You?
It is disloyal to the emperor.
Continue to sit back and watch?
It is disloyal to His Majesty.
No matter which choice he makes, Yu Qian's reputation in the history of society is probably over. His flawless official career will be stained with indelible stains today.
And he no longer has a third option to choose from.
perhaps……
besides!
Anyway, my reputation is gone. In order to survive, there is a third way.
Come in person!
As his son-in-law Zhu Ji said, he cooperated with Chen You and others to support the restoration of the emperor.
Or use your best talents to help His Majesty and His Royal Highness put down the chaos.
The former is the easiest way, because if Yu Qian switches sides, Zhu Qiyu and his son will have no power to fight back; the latter is more difficult, because it will be another battle to defend Beijing, and the outcome is unpredictable.
Smart people will choose the first option.
But Yu Qian didn't make a choice.
He's still lucky.
Because His Majesty still has the four guards of Teng Xiang and Wu Xiang, and if Chen You is the only one to support the emperor's restoration with force, Yu Qian can still maintain his "loyalty" by continuing to sit on the sidelines.
So Yu Qian continued to remain silent.
When Zhu Qiyu saw this, he was not in a hurry. Everything was as expected by his son.
Yu Qian will not give up the military power in his hands before it is confirmed that his throne will be threatened, and no matter whether he, the emperor, lives or dies, Yu Qian will not take sides.
Not in a hurry.
Since this happened today, it's not up to you, Yu Shaobao.
My father and son are bound to gain military power.
As for Baozong...
If your son wants to kill, let him kill him.
The worst I can do to help him bear this bad reputation is that everything is back to the early days after the Shiheng turmoil.
In the silence of the Qianqing Palace, Lu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, hurriedly entered and said: "Your Majesty, another military report has just been delivered to the Ministry of War. Chen Ruyan, the doctor of the Ministry of War, has already submitted it."
Zhu Qiyu sneered, "Xuan!"
After a while, Chen Ruyan entered the palace, and after saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, please hurry up and report to the army. After Nanhe Hou Fangying arrived in Nanyang, he received money and food support from Tang Wang Zhu Qiongjing, and used the method of golden cicada to escape from his shell, so that Deputy Commander Huang Shi's army went south to Huguang to quell the rebellion. He led the guards of the Henan Dusi to attack the capital, and announced to the world that the emperor had given him a golden sword and asked your majesty to return his throne."
Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Ruyan, "What else?"
Chen Ruyan took a deep breath and said, "After Liang Yue and Hang Yu divided their forces, he did not enter Shu from Hanzhong. Instead, he encouraged the troops of the Shaanxi Dusi local guard station to respond to Fang Ying and also raised troops to attack the capital, asking Your Majesty to return the throne."
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly, "Don't you even want to lose face?"
Back in position?
Is it such a child's play?
When you came back, I said you wanted to return your throne. You were too modest to do it, but now you are doing this for me.
The expressions of the seven ministers in the palace changed greatly.
The situation should not be too obvious now. Even a newcomer to the official career can see that Fang Ying, Chen You and Liang Yue have colluded together early in the morning to go out to suppress the rebellion and Zhenbei. I am afraid that this situation was also created by them.
The question now is, did Yu Qian get involved?
Because it was Yu Qian's decision to take charge of these three people.
Everyone looked at Yu Qian.
Yu Qian sighed inwardly.
Completely finished.
If Chen You rebelled, he could still be held responsible. But if Fang Ying and Liang Yuan rebelled at the same time, he, the Minister of War, would be responsible no matter what. Once he took charge, the new Minister of War would most likely be His Majesty's.
At that time, military power may become one with imperial power.
what to do?
Yu Qian thought quickly in his heart.
He can still sit back and watch, and he also has the ability to keep the regiment camp in Beijing and the remaining troops of the 26th Guards of the pro-army army stationary.
You can also choose to enter.
In the former, destiny is in the hands of others.
In the latter, he determines the direction of the world.
Unintentionally, Yu Qian found someone watching. He turned his head and looked over. It was His Highness the Crown Prince.
Staring at him with a smile.
There were indescribable emotions in his eyes.
Seems to be regretful?
Zhu Qiyu was willing to give Yu Qian some time to think about it. After signaling Chen Ruyan to step back, he looked at his son and asked, "You bastard, the situation has reached this point, what's the next step?"
Zhu Jianji coughed, stood up from his knees, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please pass the order. Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, will lead the four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang to go south to Gu'an County to stop Fang Ying's rebel troops."
Zhu Qiyu immediately said to Xing'an: "Draw up the decree."
Zhu Jianji continued: "Your Majesty, please pass the order. The Jinyi Guards will take Zhang Feng, Wang Zhi, Yu Shiyue, Chen You, Liang Jue, Fang Ying, and Shen Yu's family members to the imperial prison for trial."
Zhu Qiyu: "Draw up the decree."
Jiang Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, said weakly: "Your Majesty, there is a situation. I was bewitched by the traitor Shen Yu and contacted me several times. A few days ago, Shen Yu's eldest son came to say goodbye to me and said that he would go out of the city to visit friends.
.”
At this time, pick yourself up quickly, and you will die as a fellow Taoist rather than as a poor Taoist.
So what if Shen Yu is sold.
Zhu Qiyu said nothing, "Oh?"
Look at Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong immediately said: "A few days ago, the children of Chen You, Liang Yue, Fang Ying, and Shen Yu left the capital on various excuses such as visiting relatives and friends. They should all be hiding in Tianjin now."
Zhu Jianji was puzzled when he heard this, "I will be away from home, but my family can still leave the capital?"
It's unreasonable.
Zhu Qiyu laughed, "Can you run away?"
on purpose.
They were afraid that Fang Ying and the others would become suspicious after hearing the news, so it was not a matter of words to let those people out of the city and capture them alive or execute them on the spot.
Do you really think that Jin Yiwei is just for a living?
Wang Wendao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang are going to stop Fang Ying's rebel tribe. Who will be sent to Chen You's rebel tribe and Liang Yu's rebel tribe? After all, there are tens of thousands of people."
Compared to the families of these traitors, this is the key point.
Zhu Jianji looked at Yu Qian and asked: "Yu Shaobao, how do you think we should stop these two rebels?"
