"Your Majesty, please calm down. Yu Shaobao is a straight-tempered person. He was also in a moment of impatience just now and spoke unscrupulously. Please forgive me for this, Your Majesty."
"Yes, your majesty, although Yu Shaobao's words are inappropriate, he is still dedicated to serving the country and has no intention of offending your majesty. Please be clear to your majesty."
In the Wenhua Hall, as Yu Qian and the Emperor quarreled again, the elders were immediately worried, and a group of people came forward to say good things to Yu Qian.
Another group of people persuaded Yu Qian earnestly, saying.
"Yu Shaobao, your majesty has a kind heart, but he can't bear the young and weak East Palace, so he hesitates again and again. This sincere, saintly, wise and benevolent king is the blessing of the world. How can you attack your majesty like this and still not admit your mistake to your majesty?"
"Yes, it is common for the government to have disagreements in the government affairs. Just clarify and clarify. Yu Shaobao, you threaten to resign at every turn. Is this what a minister should do?"
"Shaobao, now is the time when the imperial court is employing people, and the army is about to be reorganized. How can you act on your will?"
The elders tried to persuade him on both sides, but they also had to dedicate a few people to hold Wynn in hand so that he wouldn't just run out and announce the decree. How could he spell it out so garbledly?
"enough!"
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After a while, the emperor was the first to calm down. Yu Qian was impulsive, but Zhu Qiyu could not be impulsive.
In fact, Zhu Qiyu had expected that Yu Qian would object to the removal of the title of Duke Cheng Guo, but he did not expect that his reaction would be so violent.
This seemed to be a little different from the Yu Qian he knew.
However, now was not the time to think about this. His face darkened, Zhu Qiyu gave a gentle drink, and order was restored in the palace. A group of elders returned to their respective places, lowering their heads and waiting for the emperor to speak.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu sighed, cast his eyes on Yu Qian, and said.
"Mr. Yu, do you know your mistake?"
This sentence made most of the ministers present feel relieved. The emperor called him "Mr. Yu" instead of "Yu Qian", and he said "acknowledging his mistakes" rather than "acknowledging his sins".
This shows that the emperor is still sensible. Next, it depends on whether Yu Qian will take this step.
Fortunately, after such a commotion, Yu Qian gradually calmed down. Although he still held the official hat in his hand, his attitude became much softer and said.
"Your Majesty, I just made a mistake, please punish me!"
"However, although my words are inappropriate, Your Majesty's rash removal of the title of Chengguo Duke will definitely arouse discussion in the court. The court has been busy during this period. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to stabilize the situation of the court and temporarily calm down the anger of the thunder.
, think twice before you act!”
How nice of you to have said this earlier, how could it have ended up like this...
The elders on the side murmured for a while, but they still had to help smooth things over, so Yu Shiyue on the side immediately followed.
"Your Majesty, what Yu Shaobao said is indeed true. The crime of Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Yong has nothing to do with Zhu Yi. Now that Zhu Yi has just been punished, if Your Majesty punishes Cheng Guo Gong Mansion, some young people may make unreasonable opinions.
His Majesty."
"The title of Duke Chengguo is a trivial matter. If it damages your majesty's reputation and even affects the harmony of the heavenly family, it will be more than worth the gain. I beg your majesty to be magnanimous and forgive Zhu Yi for the time being."
Later, Chen Yi also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I also believe that the most important thing at the moment is when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will leave the cabinet to study. The matter of establishing the Duke's palace can be discussed later. Of course, Zhu Yi went crazy in front of the emperor. , should be punished, but dismissal from office and reduction in rank seems a bit excessive. I beg your majesty to be merciful. A small punishment but a big warning is enough."
The so-called Jun has no words, the emperor's words have already been spoken. Regardless of whether Zhu Yi was wrong or not, he has already received the punishment.

However, the specific method of punishment and the severity of the punishment are debatable.
What's more, these ministers are just afraid that the matter will cause too much trouble and cause shock to the government and the public, so they want to control the situation. As for what Zhu Yi is like, they actually don't care that much.
With such a group of old men working hard to pass the steps, the atmosphere at the scene immediately relaxed. Zhu Qiyu glanced at Yu Qian next to him and said.
"Since you have admitted your mistake, then go back to the Ministry of Revenue and ask for a fine! Now that the imperial court is about to employ someone, I will not let you go back to the house to think about your mistakes. However, you also need to reflect on yourself and be pragmatic and prudent in your words. Do you understand?"
"I accept the decree!"
Although Yu Shangshu has a clear mind, he doesn't care much about fines or anything like that.
Anyway, he does not pursue external things. Whether it is a life of poverty or a life of wealth, Yu Qian can live on.
What's more, as an important minister of the imperial court, Yu Qian could not live without a few months' salary, even though he did not receive a few months' salary after the emperor ascended the throne.
Therefore, in the end, they were still held in high esteem and ignored. However, the bosses are already used to this kind of scene. Of course, you still have to persuade and you should be anxious. After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, this look from the boss People still have it.
Yu Qian is not a big deal. The key lies in how the Emperor will resolve the conflict that caused the conflict between Yu Qian and the Emperor.
Although Yu Qian is looking down on him now, if the emperor really insists on having his own way, there may not be any trouble again.
Fortunately, the emperor was not a person who couldn't listen to what he said. After dealing with Yu Qian, he felt a lot calmer. He pondered for a moment and said.
"Since all the ministers have interceded for Zhu Yi, I will not hold him responsible for the crime of becoming the Duke of Guo at this time. However, Zhu Yi just made arrogant remarks in the palace. What's more, the remarks he made are indeed suspected of collusion. From now on, he will be suspended pending investigation, and we will deal with him after the incident in the East Palace is over."
"In addition, Huai'en, you ask Shu Liang to go to the Chengguo Palace in person and bring the hereditary iron coupons from his palace back to the palace for safekeeping as a punishment!"
After the words fell, Wynn bowed, turned around and left neatly.
Several cabinet ministers on the side, such as Zhang Min and Jiang Yuan, were still hesitant to stop him again, but before they could move, they saw Wynn's slightly narrowed eyes, and their steps suddenly stopped.
At the same time, Yu Qian on the side also hesitated a little. He raised his head and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the emperor beat him to it and said coldly.
"What I said was to take it back to the palace for safekeeping, not to take back the world certificate of the Duke of Chengguo. Could it be said that even this kind of punishment is too severe for the ministers?"
Everyone below suddenly looked at each other, and even Yu Qian struggled for a moment, sighed and said nothing.
After all, the emperor's anger still lingers.
Although after some "admonishment" by Yu Qian and other ministers, the previous decree was withdrawn, it was obvious that Zhu Yi was not let go so easily.
The change from immediate dismissal to suspension pending review is actually not much better. The only thing worth celebrating is probably that the title is still there.
However, even so, having to hand over the birth certificate would be as painful as cutting flesh for the noble family.
Even if the emperor said so, he would only take the world certificate back to the palace, not take it back.
However, for a noble family, the world certificate basically represents the title itself.
Especially for the current Duke of Chengguo, Zhu Yong is no longer here, the title has been unable to be inherited, and now even the world certificate cannot be retained. How can Zhu Yi, the so-called "little prince", still be able to serve in the title in the future?
I'm afraid it's hard to tell whether you can hold your head high in your center...
