Chapter 277: Yu Versailles Qian

 In the cold winter, the fire in the hall was burning brightly. It should have been warm and cozy, but because of Yu Qian's actions just now, the warmth in the room suddenly dissipated a lot.

The heavy snow outside the window showed no sign of stopping. The old servant bent down and went outside to get charcoal to refuel the stove.

When new charcoal is put into the furnace, the soft sound of crackling and burning is particularly clear in the room.

Yu Shiyue said nothing. He picked up the teapot on the table and wanted to pour another cup of tea, but found that the tea in the pot had reached the bottom.

So, he raised the teapot and shook it in front of Yu Qian's face.

Seeing this, the helplessness on Yu Qian's face became more intense. He waved his hand and motioned to the old servant beside him to change into hot tea.

This time, Mr. Yu Ge restored the previous treatment in Yufu. Not only was there a hand stove for hot tea, but also snacks were prepared.

He was not in a hurry, pinched a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth. Feeling the sweetness spread in his mouth, he narrowed his eyes and felt very comfortable on his face.

In the end, Yu Qian couldn't hold himself any longer. With a wry smile, he stood up, cupped his hands, and begged for mercy.

"Brother Shi Chao, don't argue with Yu. Today, Yu is rude, but I am not... ugh!"

As he spoke, Yu Qian's brows knitted together, and a rare sadness appeared on his face.

With a long sigh, he looked at Yu Shiyue and said seriously.

"Brother Shichao, you really shouldn't stay today. In the next few days, Yu's life will not be easy. There is no benefit in getting too close to me at this time. I'm afraid it will hurt you!"

Seeing Yu Qian mentioning business, Yu Shiyue straightened his posture and hummed softly.

"I knew that there must be a reason for what you did today. You are not such an impulsive person. You should know what is more important than what is more important. So, why did you act so fiercely today?"

A series of events in the palace happened so fast that people were caught off guard.

Even Yu Shiyue never had time to think about it.

Now that he saw that Yu Qian was deliberately trying to distance himself from him, he naturally became suspicious of what was going on in the palace.

There was definitely a better solution to the situation at that time.

Just as Yu Shiyue and Gao Gu had always planned, they would first appease the emperor and delay it for a few days.

When the imperial court opened the seal, the matter was discussed at court. Whether it was reprimanding or changing the commander-in-chief, it was always the result of discussions among the ministers, and Yu Qian would not be allowed to bear the emperor's wrath alone.

Even if it couldn't be stopped at the time, the Ministry of War prepared ordnance, mobilized the army, and a series of preparations, it was still possible to delay the opening of the seal.

Even if the holy decree has been given by then, it is not impossible to recover it.

There was absolutely no need to have such a quarrel with the emperor on the spot.

Now, although Yu Qian has not been dismissed from his post, he is banned from the palace and is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Without his stopping him, no one could really stop Commander Geng Yi from doing anything.

This kind of counterproductive behavior is not something a politically mature minister should do.

It is not impossible to say that Yu Qian was provoked by the emperor's words, but looking at Yu Qian's current performance, it is obviously not the case.

Yu Qian's expression was a little complicated, and he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"With the intelligence of the official brother, can't you really see that your majesty's move is the intention of a drunkard? Removing Wang Ji is just a cover. The real target is Yu!"

Yu Shiyue also frowned and asked, "Why do you see it?"

Yu Qian said: "As Brother Shichao said, the matter in Miaoland does not affect the overall situation. Although I do not agree with your Majesty's change of commander-in-chief at this time, I am indeed dissatisfied with your Majesty's ignoring our advice and issuing an edict directly."

"But Yu still has the sense of propriety as a minister, and he will never threaten His Majesty to resign because of this. The reason for this is because of His Majesty's words."

Now that there were only two of them, Yu Qian didn't shy away from it, and directly determined his behavior in the palace.

That is threatening the emperor, but they all know in their hearts that the emperor's character is not that of a person who can be coerced by others.

Therefore, although Yu Qian's words in the palace were fierce, in fact, he had given up the idea of ​​preventing the emperor from changing the commander-in-chief at that time.

Yu Shiyue quickly reviewed the situation in the palace and had some realization in his mind.

Many things are difficult to judge at the time, but it is easy to find clues afterwards.

Looking back on the memorial at that time, although everyone had different political views and argued with each other, overall, it was still within control.

Until the emperor suddenly got angry.

"...What does the Ministry of War do for food... We can't get 20,000 troops, so you, the Minister of the Ministry of War, don't have to do it... The traitor's knife is about to be put to my neck, and the Beijing camp is still sleeping...

…”

The situation started to get out of control from that moment on!

Seeing Yu Shi's understanding expression, Yu Qian knew that he understood, sighed softly, and said.

"Brother Yu often said that times make heroes. When Yu was just over fifty years old, he was ranked as the Seventh Minister, and as the Minister of War, he was in charge of the power of the capital camp. He also had the merit of supporting and establishing, so he was awarded the title of Shaobao. This is how

With his job title, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best minister."

"It is a common rule in our dynasty that only those who are over seventy years old, mentally exhausted, and unfit for appointment are allowed to take up official positions. Based on this calculation, Yu has nearly twenty years left to serve the country."

"Twenty years is too long!"

Yu Shiyue wants to hit someone!

After this year, he will be sixty. He has worked hard all his life to get into the cabinet. This speed is not slow.

But comparing people to each other requires death, and comparing goods has to be thrown away. He wants to enter the ranks of Qiqing, but he doesn't know when.

Mr. Yu Ge also wanted to continue serving the Ming Dynasty for twenty years in the position of Qi Qing...

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of tea, Mr. Yu Ge said with a hint of envy in his tone.

"Yes, there are still nearly twenty years left!"

The two have known each other for many years, so Yu Qian could naturally see what his old friend was thinking, but he smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Brother Yu, don't think this is a good thing. Yu has such a reputation in the court at this age. What about ten years from now? What about fifteen years from now? How can it not arouse the jealousy of the emperor?"

Yu Shiyue's face changed, and he understood.

Although Yu Qian is now just the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has the title of Shaobao, which determines that if he wants to succeed, he can only go to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

After all, in the absence of the three masters, the young master, the young master, and the young protector are considered to be the most respected ministers.

And now Wang Wen, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is a close confidant of the emperor. It is not easy to replace him.

But if he cannot take over, Yu Qian will continue to stay at the Ministry of War.

So... what does it mean to be a Minister of the Ministry of War for more than ten years? Especially, this Minister of the Ministry of War also supervises the Beijing camp.

Such a long period of time is enough for him to hold the entire Beijing camp in his hands. Even with the Ministry of War's power to mobilize troops, it may not be impossible to plot a rebellion.

Even if Yu Qian is a loyal and upright minister, he will not have any inappropriate thoughts.

However, when he was over fifty years old, he was able to rank among the Seven Ministers, and his prestige was comparable to that of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

If there are twenty years, even if he does not deliberately form a party, there will be a large number of ministers willing to join Jiwei and take refuge under his sect.

When the time comes, even if Yu Qian abides by his ministerial duties, once there are political views in the court that deviate to the left, will he listen to the emperor or Yu Qian?

It’s not about trust, it’s just about risk…
