Chapter 20: Yang Conspiracy (Rank 2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The front hall of Prince Tan's Mansion was silent for a moment.

Zhu Qiyu's expression looked quite peaceful, but Xing'an, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but open his mouth.

This...is this the realm of a big boss?

He said being a traitor so calmly and calmly.

Sure enough, if you want to be a big boss, you have to be thick-skinned.

Xing'an secretly cursed at this, and Zhu Qiyu was also slightly stunned.

He didn't expect this possibility, but he didn't expect Jin Ying to admit it so readily.

Zhu Qiyu asked, holding the teacup in his hand.

"But I don't know why Eunuch Jin gave such advice to the Queen Mother?"

Jin Ying sat up straight, looked at Zhu Qiyu with burning eyes, and asked.

"It's time for us to ask Your Majesty, why did you let the Concubine Xian deliberately anger the Queen Mother?"

When playing politics, what matters is a person with a thick face and a dark heart.

Even if he was exposed by Jin Ying in person, Zhu Qiyu still remained calm.

Pushing the tea cup, Zhu Qiyu said calmly.

"I wonder what Eunuch Jin said? Did my mother-in-law go to Cining Palace? I wonder what she did wrong to make the Queen Mother angry?"

Jin Ying looked at him for a long time and said.

"In any case, the prince has got what he wanted. Jin Ying only hopes that the prince can do his best to ensure the survival of the country."

After saying that, Jin Ying lowered his face, stood up and saluted, saying

"It's getting late, and our family has to go back to the palace to reply, so we're going to leave first."

After Jin Ying walked out of the gate of Prince Tan's Mansion, Zhu Qiyu was still sitting in the hall, tapping the table unconsciously.

The conversation between the two just now sounded completely out of character.

Both of them seemed to be talking to themselves.

But Zhu Qiyu knew it in his heart.

that is because……

No matter it was a question he asked or a question asked by Jin Ying, they could not answer each other directly.

Jin Ying was able to say so frankly that it was his advice to the Queen Mother, which at least proved that he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the Queen Mother.

Zhu Qiyu had known this for a long time.

Queen Mother Sun was not at ease with him.

However, due to the current situation and the pressure from the courtiers, he had to hand over the power of supervising the country and governing the country to him.

But she must also have restraint measures.

First she proposed to establish a crown prince, and then she used the word "temporary" in the edict, which were all her methods to limit herself from losing her position.

Send Jin Ying over, of course.

As Jin Ying said, this method is more reasonable and appropriate than sending government affairs to Cining Palace after handling them!

After all, Empress Dowager Sun has lived in the palace for a long time, so she may not be able to understand if she really sends these government affairs to her.

Even if you understand it, it's hard to interfere.

Furthermore, as for the courtiers, the harem cannot interfere in government affairs without authorization, which is the bottom line for these bosses.

The situation is critical now.

For the sake of Empress Dowager Ansun, they might allow her to oversee government affairs, but they would not allow her to interfere.

Even if it is processed and sent over, the government and the public will inevitably discuss it.

And sent Jin Ying over.

As he said, he can not only keep an eye on government affairs, but also directly intervene in emergencies.

After all, it is no longer the time of Emperor Taizu.

As a part of the government affairs process, the ceremonial supervisor has not been publicly recognized, but his actual status has been gradually recognized by the ministers.

Therefore, as the Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Jin Ying had the right to express his views on government affairs in some informal situations.

But the premise of all this is that Jin Ying is on the side of Empress Dowager Sun.

Only if Jin Ying is reliable, then this method is appropriate.

If Jin Ying was not wholeheartedly loyal to Empress Dowager Sun, then this method would actually make Empress Dowager Sun less sensitive to government affairs.

And since he said these words today, it is obvious that he is not completely siding with Empress Dowager Sun.

Then, the problem has to go back to the beginning.

He asked the question, but Jin Ying didn't answer.

Why would he do this?

Seeing that the situation is not good, find a new owner?

Or is this done deliberately to gain trust and actually conduct surveillance?

Zhu Qiyu couldn't figure it out.

In his previous life, he and Jin Ying were not close.

Although after he ascended the throne, he still let Jin Ying be in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

But that's because Jin Ying was too thorough in his work and played a great role in guarding the capital.

A minister of his status, even a eunuch, cannot be dismissed at will without any reason.

In addition, he is protected by the Queen Mother Sun...

It was not easy for Zhu Qiyu to target him openly.

But only two or three years later, Zhu Qiyu found an excuse and sent him to Nanjing to retire.

With his eyes closed, Zhu Qiyu carefully read Pin Jinying's last two sentences.

"...The prince has got what he wanted. Jin Ying only hopes that the prince can do his best to ensure the survival of the country..."

It seemed that he understood clearly the purpose of his mother's visit to Cining Palace, but he probably did not tell the Empress Dowager Sun clearly.

Of course Zhu Qiyu knew what happened in Cining Palace!

This was discussed with Concubine Wu Xian before he left the palace.

Concubine Wu Xian's trip to Cining Palace was just to anger Empress Dowager Sun.

But what Queen Mother Sun thought was different...this was simply a conspiracy!

Ever since Empress Dowager Sun burst into rage, she has been unable to escape.

Whether in anger, Empress Dowager Sun issued an order to remove him from the power of supervising the country, or as she did now, clearly delegating power but actually beating it, it would be beneficial to him.

Needless to say, the former will arouse resistance from the ministers. In the end, the Queen Mother will not only hand over the power of supervising the country, but also make the ministers have opinions about her.

As for the latter, Zhu Qiyu could imagine how Jin Ying persuaded the Queen Mother Sun.

"...Since he wants the power to supervise the country, I might as well give him the extra weight..."

"...Didn't he just recover from illness? Then set up a special hall in the palace and let him enter the palace to manage politics every day..."

"...I will order all ministers to hand over all matters, big and small, to King Xi..."

"...The situation is critical now, and the national affairs are in chaos. How many days can King Tan's body, which has been running around and working hard every day, be able to withstand it for a few days..."

"...I will be supervising and supervising the queen on the side. If there is any slack or inappropriateness, I will spread the word and punish him for neglecting the national affairs..."

It's just that he is recovering from a serious illness and has never really been involved in political affairs before, so he wants to be overwhelmed by the influx of government affairs.

Not sure, I still want him to make some big mistake and then take back the power to supervise the country.

Of course, at this time, Queen Mother Sun may not really dare to cause any trouble.

But there will definitely be thoughts.

But Empress Dowager Sun didn't know that what Zhu Qiyu wanted was for her to delegate power.

If Empress Dowager Sun clings to the power of the capital, Zhu Qiyu will not be able to display his abilities no matter how powerful he is.

Only by letting the Empress Dowager Sun delegate power can he do whatever he wants.

From this point of view, Jin Ying helped him.

After all, his last words clearly revealed Zhu Qiyu's intentions.

However, Empress Dowager Sun issued this edict, indicating that Jin Ying did not fully explain to her...

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Qiyu still couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

There are many important things at the moment, so this matter should be explored slowly in the future.

Getting up from the front hall, Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry to go out.

Although the matter is urgent, you still need to take good care of your health. Don’t accidentally get sick from exhaustion!

If he hadn't recovered from a serious illness in his previous life, he wouldn't have ended up like that.

Besides, now that the detailed military report has not arrived, many things cannot be done.

Still have to wait!

After handing the edict to Xing'an to put it away, Zhu Qiyu turned around and returned to the Nuan Pavilion in the backyard.

Mr. Wang was waiting there, the two of them had a conversation, and then Zhu Qiyu took a rest.

A night of silence.

Zhu Qiyu finished washing and listened to Cheng Jing's report.

In the past two days, although the capital still seemed stable, in reality, it was a bit more turbulent.

For the next two or three days, Zhu Qiyu also stayed in the mansion and was not in a hurry to go out.

Until August 20th, when the sky was slightly dark,

Zhu Qiyu had dinner while being served by the people below, and was thinking about what to do next.

Cheng Jing walked in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of War sent a message from the Minister of War, saying that there is an urgent military situation. Please come to the palace as soon as possible!"
