This sentence seems to hit the point.
Chen Mao nodded, with a bigger smile on his face, and said.
"Of course not. Just after Zhu Yi left the palace, almost together with the imperial edict from the Wang family, there was also an edict allowing Zhu Yi to go to Yao'erling for burial."
“However, what’s interesting is that it was written above that Zhu Yi should follow the etiquette of the Duke and bring back Zhu Yong’s bones..."
"What?"
Zhang Xi frowned, with a slightly surprised look on his face.
As the same family, the British public Zhang Fu has just died, and Zhang Ye is naturally very clear about the ceremonies of the funeral.
You should know that not long ago, the imperial court had just confirmed Zhang Fu’s death.
Not only was Zhang Fu officially granted the posthumous title of Prince of Dingxing, he was also given the posthumous title of "Zhonglie", and the etiquette system was governed by the title of Prince of Dingxing.
At this time, Zhu Yong, who was also the Duke of the country, was demoted and buried with the ceremony of the Duke of the country. The meaning of this has to make people think deeply.
It seems that, as Chen Mao said, this rumor played a greater role than they imagined.
This is one of the few good news in recent days, and it finally put a smile on Zhang Shi's face and said.
"The emperor was brought to power by civil servants after all, and he couldn't escape the burden of fame. Zhu Yi was so eager to flatter him, but in the end, it was not a good fight. With this incident, he became a country.
If I want to get my title back, I'm afraid it's really out of reach."
Chen Mao also nodded and said in agreement.
“Isn’t it true? This kind of lucky advancement has always been shameful for civil servants. The title of the Duke of Chengguo cannot be maintained in the court for a long time.”
"Now that the situation is like this, I'm afraid that the civil servants will be more determined to seize the title of the Duke of Chengguo. It seems that for the sake of his own reputation, the emperor does not intend to interfere with this matter anymore."
“Maybe in a few days, those civil servants will find some excuse and conveniently remove the title of Duke Chengguo.”
Hearing this, Zhang Shi shook his head and said.
“It’s hard to make a conclusion so quickly. After all, Zhu Yi and Hu Hui’s father-in-law still have some respect in the court. That old guy is not an easy master to deal with.”
“And when Zhu Yong was here, he always paid homage to civil servants. Even though people were told that tea would cool them down when they left, there were still some people who cared about the love of incense.”
Hearing Zhang Shi's words, Chen Mao suddenly became energetic and spoke.
"This is what I want to discuss with the Second Master today. Previously, Zhu Yi wanted to get closer to the emperor."
“However, after this incident, whether it is due to public opinion between the government and the opposition, or other considerations, the emperor will inevitably ignore Chengguo Gongfu for a period of time.”
"Maybe I even think that Zhu Yi is too reckless in doing things. Fortunately, I have calmed down my desire to conquer. I am afraid that Zhu Yi is also frustrated and angry. This is our opportunity..."
Zhang Xi's face also became serious, and he frowned.
“Brother Shunqing, do you mean to win over Cheng Guo Gongfu again?”
Chen Mao nodded and said: "Yes, although the Chengguo Duke's Mansion has been in decline, after all, the background is there, and it still has a certain influence among the relatives. What's more, the reason why the Holy Mother values Luo Tong so much is nothing more than
It’s because he is the most important civil servant in our hands today.”
"But if we can pull that boy Zhu Yi over, this problem will be solved. You know, even if that old guy Hu Hu is very cunning, as the second master said, when Zhu Yong is still here, he always salutes
Civil servants, there are many people in the capital who have received his favor."
"Although these people are unable to speak for the Duke of Chengguo now due to public opinion, they still have this network of contacts. If Luo Tong really can't be saved, it's better to make plans in advance, right?"
Zhang Xi was a little moved, but after pondering for a while, he still said:
"If this matter can be done, it will indeed greatly increase our strength. However, Zhu Yi is not in the capital now. What is his attitude towards this matter needs to be observed again. In this way, after a few days, he will
When we return to the capital, I and Brother Shunqing will go to the Duke Cheng's Mansion to pay homage in person and find out what Brother Shunqing thinks."
Seeing that Zhang Shi was still a little hesitant, Chen Mao was slightly disappointed.
In fact, Chen Mao has been paying attention to the movements of his relatives from various families since he was sentenced to self-examination in the mansion.
So how Zhu Yi behaved when he left the palace that day was something he saw with his own eyes while hiding in the dark.
He is a talented young man who has practiced martial arts since childhood and is good at riding and shooting. He can even get on a carriage and almost fall, which shows how badly he has suffered.
Chen Mao thought he had some discernment in looking at people. The defeat and despair in Zhu Yi's expression at that time was definitely not something that a person of his age could fake.
Therefore, it is very possible that the punishment the emperor gave Cheng Guo Gongfu was not just as simple as letting Zhu Yong be buried with the official rites.
Something else must have happened during that memorial meeting to make Zhu Yi so frustrated.
In Chen Mao's view, this is the best time to win over the Duke of Chengguo.
However, after all, the person in charge here is Zhang Shi. He can't make a decision. Chen Mao has no choice but to nod.
"In this case, we might as well wait a little longer. Think about it, when Zhu Yi comes back, there will be news from the third master. If we can successfully welcome the emperor back, we will have an extra bargaining chip to convince Zhu Yi."
When mentioning this matter, another trace of worry flashed across Zhang Shi's face.
Yes, in the final analysis, it still depends on the situation over there in Wala. It has been more than a month since the mission left Beijing.
However, no news has been sent back. Now that the mutual market has happened again, I don’t know what impact the news will have when it reaches Oara.
You must know that no matter how many people they lose, it is only a small matter, and there will always be opportunities to get them back in the future.
But if the Emperor cannot be welcomed back, they will always be like a tree without roots.
As a result, the flower hall fell into silence again. Chen Mao and Zhang Miao looked at each other and sighed in unison. Their eyes fell on the north at the same time, as if they wanted to see the current situation in Yibei through the distant night sky...
At the same time, under the night sky at Walalao Camp in the north of the country.
Amidst the bright lights, Zhang Fu, Xu Bin, Xiao Weizhen and others gathered in a Mongolian tent with gloomy expressions on their faces.
Obviously, the negotiations did not go as smoothly as they imagined.
In their expectations, after experiencing the battle at Zijingguan, they should already have a deep fear of the Ming Dynasty.
But it was not until they arrived in Wala that they discovered that the facts were very different from what they had imagined.
It has been seven or eight days since the mission arrived in Wala, but except for the fact that they saw him once when they first arrived, they were left here lukewarm for the next few days.
In fact, apart from seeing the Emperor once from a distance to confirm that the old man was safe, he didn’t even have a chance to come up and say hello...
