"Yes, Empress Dowager, calm down. Now is not the time to act on impulse.”
Li Yongchang also tried to persuade him.
He knew in his heart that since Cheng Jing dared to bring the Embroidered Uniform Guards in, he must have gotten Zhu Qiyu's permission.
In the current situation, if there was a dispute, Sun Ruowei would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.
Sun Ruowei's face was gloomy as she said coldly,""Go back and tell Zhu Qi Yu that he wants to search this widow's palace.”
She made up her mind in her heart that she would never back down. Otherwise, what if Zhu Qiyu wanted to take advantage of her?
"Empress Dowager, since this is the case, don't blame this lowly one for being unreasonable.”
Cheng Jing was expressionless as he waved his hand at the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him.
Zhu Qiyu's strength, he had seen it all. If he couldn't even clean up the Imperial Palace, he probably wouldn't be able to get any important positions in the future.
Therefore, for the sake of his future authority, he had to make a move on the Cining Palace. Moreover, after making a move on the Cining Palace, he could also let Zhu Qiyu see his determination.
"How dare you!"
"Wait!"
Sun Ruowei and Yu Qian's voices sounded at the same time.
Cheng Jing turned his head and looked at Yu Qian with a hint of doubt on his face."Lord Yu, why are you here?"
Zhu Qiyu's regard for Yu Qian, he could also faintly see some of it, so he was somewhat polite to Yu Qian.
Of course, he was also very curious. Wasn't Yu Qian by Zhu Qiyu's side? Why did he suddenly appear in Ci Ning Palace? Could it be that Zhu Qiyu's attitude had changed?
"Yu Qian, why is he here?"
When Sun Ruowei, Li Yongchang, and Jiao Jing saw Yu Qian appear, their expressions were all stunned, and their faces were full of confusion.
Yu Qian walked a few steps and came to Sun Ruowei. He bowed and saluted,"Chen Yu Qian pays his respects to the Empress Dowager!”
"Lord Yu, please rise!"
Sun Ruowei suppressed the doubts in her heart and waved at Yu Qian.
Looking at Yu Qian in front of her, her heart moved. Yu Qian was the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and had a good relationship with Wang Zhi, Chen Xun, and the others. If Yu Qian could stand on her side, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial to her current situation.
Yu Qian stood up and said to Cheng Jing,"Eunuch Cheng, in order to avoid suspicion, His Highness has specially ordered me to search for the assassin together with Eunuch Cheng. If Eunuch Cheng does not believe me, you can send someone to confirm with His Highness.”
He also understood very well in his heart that Zhu Qiyu was searching for assassins in name, but in reality, he was taking the opportunity to purge the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who were close to Sun Ruowei and Zhu Qizhen. However, he could not care about these things and did not dare to care.
At this time, he intervened only to protect Sun Ruowei's life. Other than that, he had no other choice.
"This…"
Cheng Jing frowned when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he cupped his hands at Yu Qian."Lord Yu, please wait a moment. I will go and ask His Highness.”
Although Yu Qian gave a reason, he was very clear about these civil officials. It was not that there had never been cases of false imperial edicts. This was the first time he was sent out by Zhu Qiyu to do things, so it was better to be careful.
"Eunuch, be light!"
Yu Qian's expression was indifferent as he spoke softly.
Jiao Jing thought about it and walked in front of Yu Qian, bowing."Lord Yu, you came at the right time. Please accept my respect.”
He had the same plan as Sun Ruowei. So what if Zhu Qiyu was strong? If he could rope in the civil officials and the noble line, even if Zhu Qiyu had military power, the throne would definitely not last long.
In the feudal era, the national consciousness had not been awakened at all. The people at the bottom of society had no right to speak at all. They were like rootless duckweed and could only drift back and forth with the rich and powerful.
Some people said that it was enough to take control of the military, kill the indignant dignitaries, and then treat the people well.
However, was the truth really that simple?
First of all, there was a problem. Communication in ancient times was not as developed as in modern times. The emperor needed to rely on his ministers to control the dynasty. Many times, there would be situations where the government orders were not effective.
It was a very terrifying thing. The decree issued by the Emperor could not leave the Imperial City, or it formed another layer of meaning outside the Imperial City and became completely different.
There are policies above and countermeasures below.
These words were what the Emperor needed to consider the most.
In comparison, killing people was really a simple matter. It was simply too easy.
Looking at history, how many dynasties were founded by commoners?
Sui and Tang Dynasties?
Han Wu?
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born a beggar, was not fighting alone.
If there was no Empress Ma, if there was no Tang He, Xu Da, and other fellow countrymen, if there was no Guo Zixing as his foster father, would Zhu Yuanzhang be able to sit on the throne?
What kind of beautiful dream is this!
Since ancient times, the ownership of the imperial power was not something that the common people could control.
Nobles were the mainstream. After all, no matter who became the emperor, they would need someone to help them govern the country, and this group of people would become the new nobles over time.
a poor family hardly produces a noble son.
Please note that the Humble Class here did not refer to ordinary people, but to the group of people whose ancestors were once in the noble class.
Yu Qian was expressionless as he helped Jiao Jing up and said coldly,""Fuma Jiao is too polite, this official is also doing this for Great Ming.”
He could see through Jiao Jing's thoughts with a single glance.
Although Zhu Qiyu was strong and overbearing, at the moment, he was the best candidate to save Big Ming. He could never give up Zhu Qiyu and stand between a woman like Sun Ruowei and a three-year-old child like Zhu Jianshen.
Jiao Jing didn't expect Yu Qian to be so disrespectful. Anger flashed in his eyes, and he returned to his original spot with an embarrassed expression.
Yu Qian didn't say a word and just stood there quietly. He came here this time to prevent Sun Ruowei from having an accident so as not to affect the next Beijing defense battle. As for other things, even if he wanted to care, he couldn't care.
After Sun Ruowei saw Yu Qian's attitude, the expectation in her heart slowly dissipated. She said expressionlessly,""Lord Yu, if the assassin is not found in this widow's palace, what should we do?”
Since Yu Qian wanted to intervene in this matter, then she would take the opportunity to settle some matters so that after this, Zhu Qiyu would come to find trouble with her from time to time.
If Yu Qian couldn't say anything, then even if she died today, she would never compromise.
Yu Qian sighed in his heart and revealed a bitter expression. He said,"Empress Dowager, endure for a while and everything will be calm. Take a step back and the world will be wide. As for King Hun, I will persuade him a little.”
