The mutual market discussion that has attracted much attention from both the government and the opposition has finally come to an end.
The next step is the specific negotiation matters, which are matters that the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will handle in detail. But the general direction has been set, and there will probably be no more repetitions.
The morning had dispersed, but the subsequent effects had just begun to spread.
Among them, the most controversial thing was the emperor's last statement.
Regarding the return of the Supreme Emperor, it is one of the more sensitive government affairs in the court, and the courtiers have many differences on this matter.
However, the emperor rarely expresses his position directly. The only time he sent an envoy was after the last case of King Zhennan was over.
However, that time, the emperor only determined the general direction of welcoming back the Supreme Emperor, and did not specify how to solve it if difficulties were encountered along the way, or if any excessive demands were made first.
On the other hand, Wang Wen's attitude has always been very firm and he will never compromise.
But this time, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, the emperor made his attitude clear by saying, "Be cunning first. If we are not at the end of the road and there is no way out, we will not be willing to send him back to the emperor so easily."
Don't be gentle, don't compromise, use force to suppress, and use force when approaching.
The strength of his attitude is even worse than that of Wang Wen.
Therefore, it is conceivable that the emperor's attitude will inevitably cause an uproar in the court.
News in the court always spread very quickly. After the court was over, the elders returned to their Yamen, and the situation in the morning spread throughout the capital like flying.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. In the flower hall of the British government palace, Zhang Shi, Chen Mao, Jiang Yi, Ren Li, Luo Tong and others gathered together, and they were all silent.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Mian was still the first to speak. He let out a long sigh, frowned, and said with a livid face.
"I have long said that this person has no intention of welcoming the Supreme Emperor back. He sent the envoy there just to save face. What happened now? As expected, not long after the envoy left, his true colors were immediately revealed.
!”
Because Chen Mao was punished, he was not qualified to go to the morning court, but after listening to Zhang Shi's report, his face became very ugly.
However, he was calmer than Zhang Xi and said with a rather worried expression.
"When the emperor agreed to send the envoy out, the third master had doubts. He felt that things were going too smoothly. Everyone in the court seemed to be urging the envoy to leave the capital. At that time, we just felt that the emperor wanted to send the envoy out.
Third Master and others will then attack the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion."
"But now, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is still relatively stable, but the Emperor is so active in the mutual trade, and with his statement in the palace, I am worried that the drunkard is not interested in drinking!"
The foundation of the British government lies in the middle and low-level military attachés who are spread throughout the Five Army Governor's Palace. Although the Emperor has promoted Fan Guang, Yang Hong and others, he has not moved these middle- and low-level military attachés on a large scale yet.
Coupled with what happened today, Chen Mao had to think more.
Judging from today's situation, at least on the issue of mutual trading, the emperor did not know what means he used to make the six ministries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the cabinet unanimously raise no objections.
In other words, even if Zhang Fu and others stayed in the capital, it would be difficult to stop the mutual trade at the court meeting.
Therefore, there was no need for him to send Zhang Fu and others out just for this matter.
And if the emperor's plot is not in the capital, then it can only be in Yibei.
First of all, you must not dare to do anything to the Supreme Emperor. Everyone knows this.
But what if the emperor’s goal is not to be the emperor?
You know, if the Supreme Emperor raised his hand, he would probably not care about killing a few Ming court officials.
The logic here is not difficult to reason about.
Therefore, thinking of the emperor's strong statement in the court, Zhang Shi couldn't sit still.
"Brother Shunqing means that the emperor is making false claims in the east and attacking in the west. His real purpose is to provoke Ye first? Let him attack the envoy?"
At this time, Jiang Yi couldn't help but question.
"This is unlikely, is he so stupid? Although...Da Ming may not fight with him again, but if he really dares to do this, it is inevitable that the two sides will become enemies. He kidnapped the Supreme Emperor, and he will still
If you really do this if you want to seek some benefits, wouldn’t it mean that you will end the path to peace talks?”
It is customary not to kill the envoys when the two armies are fighting. If you kill the envoys who come for peace talks, you are not only a slap in the face, but even if the other side wants peace talks in the future, no one will be willing to send envoys.
This kind of behavior is tantamount to blocking one's own escape route.
Chen Mao frowned tightly, and after a moment, he said.
"I'm just guessing, but other than that, I can't think of any other explanation. Just the mutual trading thing may only make you nervous first, but if you add what the emperor said in the court at the end, he will
I'm really worried about what your reaction will be."
Jiang Yi fell silent.
Yes, he first kidnapped the Emperor and then refused to release him. He just waited for a price and wanted to get some benefits.
But today in the court, the emperor made it clear that he would never compromise.
In this way, it is not impossible for Ye to become angry from shame and want to teach Ming a lesson.
The Supreme Emperor will definitely not dare to move, but the safety of the mission cannot be said to be 100% sure.
There was silence in the flower hall for a moment, and no one spoke.
Immediately, Chen Mao suddenly said: "It's not that there is no chance of turning things around. Didn't Mr. Luo already contact many censors before and planned to knock on the door after the court meeting?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Luo Tong, and Luo Tong couldn't help but secretly curse the old guy with no good intentions.
He finally discovered that since the case of the King of Zhennan ended last time, perhaps it was because the people involved in that case, Chen Mao, Jiao Jing, and Guo Sheng, had been demoted, dismissed, and banned.
Of the confinement, only oneself remains intact.
Or maybe it's because after this old guy was demoted, his status in the British government dropped significantly, and he became the only support among the civil servants, which made this old guy feel unbalanced.
In short, this old boy has made himself jealous. Since the last time, he has been looking for trouble again and again.
Gritting his teeth, Luo Tong said: "Uncle Ning Yang, didn't you say at the beginning that you were the one who delivered the handle of Knock Que to the Emperor?"
Chen Mao picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Times have changed. Didn't Mr. Luo say at the beginning that this was the only way? Why, now that it's really time to take action, he has backed down.
?”
Luo Tong almost wanted to jump up and fight with Chen Mao, but remembering the pressure Chen Mao brought to him that night, he suppressed his anger and spoke.
"At the beginning, I did intend to knock on the que, but you have also seen the current situation. The seven ministers in the court are basically on the side of the emperor. The public opinion in the government and the public now also favors mutual trading. The success rate of the knock on the que is already high.
Very low.”
"What's more, we agreed at the beginning to persuade Chen Yi and Gao Gu to step forward to be the leader, but now, Chen Yi has already turned to the emperor, and Gao Gu has been losing ground in court meetings, and he is afraid.
I’m afraid I won’t be willing to come forward again.”
"Forcibly launching it at this time is the real way to give someone a handle. Can't Uncle Ning Yang see this truth?"
