Chapter Seventy-Three: The Affair of the World Is Nothing Up to People

Fang Ying returned to Beijing, Baekyu entered the palace, and two news in succession made the Gyeonggi government and the opposition flow underneath.

The military department of Shangshufu.

Yu Qian got off work early, went back to the mansion and sat in the study, looking at the sparrows chirping outside the window, and feeling a little uneasy about the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

Shi Heng was in turmoil, and the prince forced the Empress Dowager Sun to death, which was decisive enough.

And the means are clever.

But he didn't kill the emperor, which is weird.

Seems too benevolent?

But who knows what His Majesty and the Crown Prince are holding back.

Sending Zhu Yong to Huguang, on the surface, it seems that Zhu Yong can be used to win over Fang Ying and pave the way for the prince, but in fact, sending a princeling to Fang Ying's side at this time is counterproductive.

It's a stinky move!

Hang Min went to the military department to fight for power with himself, which was expected.

If His Majesty wants to pave the way for the crown prince, he must take back his military power.

Chen Xun and Wang Wen's infighting was unexpected, and Tang Xing and Hang Yu were fighting happily, which was also expected.

Tang Guifei's status is not as good as that of Empress Hang.

But she and Li Xi'er slept a lot.

Li Xi'er can't have a name because of her background, but Tang Guifei is the first imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty.

So she is also qualified to fight, even if she doesn't fight for the queen's position, even if Tang Guifei wants to avoid martyrdom, she will instigate her father Tang Xing to fight for power and profit, and when Tang Xing has enough capital, she doesn't have to be martyred.

Yu Qian is not worried about this.

He was worried about the two in the palace, His Majesty and the Crown Prince.

Your Majesty is benevolent and capable......

It's hard to say, it's hard to say.

It's better not to say it.

But the prince really amazed Yu Qian.

Now His Majesty wants to take back the military power, which means that the contradictions between the imperial power and the civilian clique are irreconcilable - Yu Qian knows that at this point, he can no longer hand over the military power.

He was willing, and the Manchu ministers would not agree.

Even Chen Xunshang and others will jump out and fight against His Majesty.

The civilian clique has finally obtained military power, and it can guarantee its interests for a long time, so how can it be easily surrendered.

So Yu Qian is very conflicted.

What to do?

Fight with Your Majesty, fight with the Prince.

Victory or defeat is another story.

As a result, the situation in the DPRK is unstable, and the country and the people are unlucky.

But the situation is like this, and it is not up to anyone at all, especially Fang Ying's return to Beijing has made speculative forces see opportunities, such as Shen Yu and others, these rats only care about interests, if Fang Ying can do great things and get military power, these vassals will be able to win the way.

And Fang Ying wants to get the military power, there are only two choices.

The first is to cooperate with His Majesty to bring down the civilian clique.

Of course, Yu Qian didn't want to see this situation, governing the country should have been a matter for civil ministers, what if His Majesty got the military power and went out with a civil fort.

Military power should not be combined with imperial power.

What's more, Wenchen has no military power, how much right to speak in the court is left?

Fang Ying's second choice, support the emperor!

Only in this way can the military generals and honorable groups regain their military power.

Therefore, under the instigation of Shen Yu's speculative forces and interests, I am afraid that Fang Ying will become the second Shi Heng.

Yu Qian didn't know what to do.

Continue to ignore it?

Zhu Ji, the son-in-law who was on duty in Jinyiwei, returned, walked to the window from the stone road, and saluted, "The son-in-law has seen Lord Yue. ”

Yu Qian hummed, "Come in." ”

It happened that the servant came over with tea, Zhu Ji took it, motioned for the servant to step back, walked into the study, put the teacup in Yu Qian's hand, took two steps back, and sat down, "Lord Yuezhang is worried about state affairs?" ”

Yu Qian sighed, "I can't afford to toss it." ”

Zhu Ji said: "Actually, the crux is one point. ”

Yu Qian raised his eyebrows, "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhu Ji said slowly: "Nangong! ”

All the instability is because the emperor in the Nangong is still alive, which gives those who have a heart a chance to take advantage of, if he took advantage of Shi Heng's turmoil to kill the emperor, now there is only the struggle for military power between the imperial power and the civilian forces.

But the emperor is alive, and the speculative groups and the old civilian forces will also be involved.

The situation is more complicated.

Yu Qian smiled helplessly and shook his head.

He also knows.

Zhu Ji seemed to be prepared, and continued: "Forgive my son-in-law for being blunt, Lord Yue, our family's fate is now hanging by a thread, and if we are not careful, it will probably be the end of exile from the family." ”

Yu Qian was surprised, "How can you see it?" ”

Zhu Ji sighed: "Shi Heng is in turmoil, Lord Yuezhang is watching from the wall, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are not blind, the reason why they have not asked for the crime for a long time is because the military power is in the military department, but if there is no military power, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince settle the general account after the autumn?" ”

Definitely!

Yu Qian thought thoughtfully, "In your opinion? ”

Zhu Ji was categorical, "The military power of the Ministry of War cannot be handed over, in this matter, the Manchu Dynasty and the ministers will support you, and in addition, if you have to, you can only ......"

The latter words cannot be said.

Yu Qian's face changed greatly, and he said, "Be careful! ”

He understood what his son-in-law didn't say.

If you really can't fight the imperial power and have to hand over the military power, then break the jar and break it, and together with that group of generals, overthrow Zhu Qiyu and support the restoration of the emperor, so that the crisis can be overcome, and he Yu Qian will continue to be the important minister of the Son of Heaven and the master of the civil courtiers.

There was something strange in his heart, staring at Zhu Ji, "Who told you anything?" ”

Zhu Ji shook his head: "The foolishness of the son-in-law." ”

Yu Qian waved his hand, "Don't mention this matter again, you are putting me and being disloyal." ”

Zhu Ji was silent.

"Let's go down."

Waiting for his son-in-law to leave, Yu Qian suddenly felt a little depressed, and sat down with his back bent straight.

Even the son-in-law said so......

Is there really no choice.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I just want to assist His Majesty to reproduce the glory of my Ming Dynasty, is it so difficult?

As for who is His Majesty from the old Zhu family......

It doesn't matter.

Zhu Ji walked out of Yu Qian's courtyard, looked back, and sighed.

It's hard.

But no matter how hard it is, you have to try.

Chen Ruyan is right, if in the next turmoil, the father-in-law still chooses to watch from the wall, then whether it is the victory of the Son of Heaven, or the victory of the military generals, or the victory of speculative forces, the Yu family will inevitably have a full end of exile.

Zhu Ji had already felt it, before Shi Heng's turmoil, he was in the Jinyi Guard, not to mention Liang Meng, the commander of the Nanzhen Fusi, even if it was Lu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he was also courteous when he saw him.

But now don't talk about Lu Zhong, even the hundred households of Fusi in Nanzhen have to take a detour when they see him.

I'm afraid of getting involved.

In fact, Zhu Ji doesn't care.

It's just a death.

But his son Zhu Chen is still young, is he going to die in the lonely cold of the frontier?

And Zhu Ji is a bystander.

The prince is ruthless.

In the turmoil of Shi Heng, his father-in-law sat on the wall and watched, he was already disloyal, and when the prince had a solid foundation, whether there was an irreconcilable contradiction of military power or not, it would be difficult for the father-in-law to die well.

Pity......

The father-in-law is still deceiving himself.

I don't want to think about it, the prince even dares to kill the Empress Dowager Sun, will he dare not move you Yu Shaobao?

So in the end, there are only two paths in front of my father-in-law.

Or the whole family will accompany him to death.

Either he sent Zhu Qiyu and his father and son to die.

There is no third way!
