Facing everyone's gaze, Xue Xuan reached out and took off his official hat, placed it upright in front of him, and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, although some people want to use this case to alienate the Tian family, in the final analysis, the ruling and opposition parties have doubts in their hearts."
"If the Supreme Emperor does not return, the status of the Heavenly Family will be uncertain, the government and the public will be uneasy, and the young people will not give up their ambitions."
"I advise your majesty to welcome back the emperor. This is for the sake of our country and for your majesty. If anything happens to the emperor in Yibei, the Ming Dynasty and Oara will have their own personal enmity. A battle with all the strength of the country will shake the country. .”
"The emperor is in the north and your majesty is in the capital. As time goes by, all the people will discuss your majesty's virtues. Only when the emperor returns to the south, and everyone's status is determined, all the people in the world will be safe, and the country will be solid. I know that I am guilty. This is the only thing I can say, Your Majesty, please think about it."
After saying that, Xue Xuan kowtowed deeply to the ground.
There was silence in the main hall, and no one thought that after going around and around, the old master would come back to this matter.
The matter of welcoming back the Supreme Emperor was really too sensitive, especially since the case of King Zhennan had just happened. The elders looked at each other, but they all remained silent.
Even Xiao Weizhen and Luo Tong, who advocated the matter, hesitated for a moment and did not agree with Xue Xuan.
The situation has developed to this point. Without the case of King Zhennan, the public opinion forcing the emperor to immediately welcome back the Supreme Emperor has been lost.
It is not the best time to speak out at this moment.
However, what surprised them was that this time, the emperor did not remain silent as before. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke.
"Why don't I know that everyone in the government and the public is looking forward to the return of the Emperor? I and the Supreme Emperor are brothers and close relatives. How can we not wish for the return of the Emperor?"
"In fact, this matter is very important. If you send an envoy, you must be sure that you can welcome them back before you dare to send an envoy. Otherwise, sending an envoy hastily may have the opposite effect and put the emperor in danger."
"I naturally hope that the emperor will return to the south as soon as possible and that my brothers can be reunited. However, in this whole court, who can be sure? Can we really convince you to welcome the emperor back to the south?"
Regarding this matter, Zhu Qiyu naturally has his own considerations.
It is necessary to welcome back the Supreme Emperor.
As Xue Xuan said, the Emperor's long-term stay in Yibei was a huge factor of instability.
Once he dies in Wala, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably restart the war with Wala, and it will definitely be a fight to the death.
But to be fair, it would be too difficult for today's Ming Dynasty to completely wipe out Wala.
When the time comes, it is not a good idea to have to fight despite knowing that this battle will have no effect, wasting people and money.
This is the influence on the country and the imperial court.
If the Supreme Emperor did not come back for a day, his status would remain uncertain.
Although Zhu Qiyu has now ascended the throne, become the emperor, and even announced to the world, he has never been recognized by the previous emperor.
Although the enthronement edict announced to the world that an envoy from Wala had brought an oral edict, this was not very supportive of the new emperor's status.
Therefore, it is necessary for the Supreme Emperor to return and completely establish the legitimacy of the new emperor. This is very important to the court.
This is also the reason why many ministers in the court, including Yu Qian, have always hoped to welcome the Emperor back.
It should be said that this is the first time that the emperor has expressed his attitude positively in front of the ministers regarding the return of the Supreme Emperor.
As a result, a low discussion immediately broke out among the originally quiet courtiers.
In the sequence of military ministers, Zhang Fu's expression changed, and he was obviously quite uneasy inside.
He did not expect that the case of King Zhennan, which he had painstakingly planned for so long, would not yield results, but in the end, things would turn around.
It should be said that the best way for the emperor to deal with the matter of welcoming back the Supreme Emperor is to put it aside.
As long as you mention it, there will be no other answers.
Obviously, with the conclusion of the Zhennan King case, there is no sufficient reason for the emperor to send envoys to Wala immediately.
But Xue Xuan's words turned the matter upside down again.
What surprised Zhang Fu the most was that the emperor did not deal with it coldly like before, but responded directly.
He realized that this was an opportunity!
At the same time, it could also be a trap!
Do you want to take action?
Zhang Fu was a little hesitant.
Now Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, Guo Sheng, the Marquis of Cheng'an, and Jiao Jing, the Prince-in-law Commander-in-Chief, have all been imprisoned. Xue Heng, the Commander-in-Chief Prince-in-law, is not qualified to go to the palace.
In Dingxihou's Mansion, Funing Bo's Mansion and other houses, the people they befriended were all uncles in the family. Young men with titles who were truly qualified to go to the palace were speechless.
In other words, he and Zhang Mian are the only two people in the palace who know the core of the entire matter.
If they want to take action, they can only do it in person.
However, the emperor's initiative to bring up this matter was definitely not without purpose, it was probably a trap.
How can I do?
After a brief hesitation, Zhang Fu made a decision.
Even if it is a trap, you can only bite the bullet.
Zhang Fu knew that since the interrogation power of King Guangtong and others fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei.
Then there is no way to escape the crime of Marquis Ningyang and others.
He still knew Jin Yiwei's methods.
As a result, there are even fewer people they can speak to in the court.
What's more, the emperor has obviously been prepared for the Zhennan King incident this time. It may be difficult to stir up public opinion in the court later.
Even if it was to protect himself, he had to firmly hold on to the merits of welcoming the Emperor back, so that even if the emperor wanted to touch him, he would have to consider some material opinions from the government and the public.
So Zhang Fu took a deep breath, stepped forward and spoke.
"Your Majesty's holiness is clear, and your brothers and sisters in the heavenly family are respectful, and I respect you. Since your Majesty has the intention to welcome the emperor back, I should share your worries for you. I recommend someone to go to Oala to welcome the emperor back."
Seeing that Zhang Fu couldn't help but finally jumped out, Zhu Qiyu's eyes hidden behind Mian Qi flashed with a glimmer of light, and he asked flatly.
"who?"
Zhang Fu opened his mouth and said: "Xu Bin, the minister of Taichang Temple, was once the admiral of the Siyi Pavilion and is familiar with the border situation. He will be able to succeed immediately and successfully welcome the Emperor back."
In fact, in Zhang Fu's mind, the most suitable candidate should be Yang Shan.
After all, Yang Shan has been in Honglu Temple for many years. He was responsible for receiving tributes from Wala several times before, and he is familiar with the habits of Wala people.
Moreover, Yang Shan has excellent eloquence and courage. What is even more commendable is that Yang Shan has a firm belief in welcoming back the Emperor.
In comparison, Xu Bin was a little worse. Although he had received some Wala envoys, he was not as courageous as Yang Shan.
However, now that Yang Shan is behind bars, Xu Bin can only take the lead.
After all, if you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy if you want to bring this matter up with justice in the court.
Zhu Qiyu did not answer immediately. Instead, he focused his gaze on the ministers below, glanced around, and asked lightly.
"Zhang Fu recommended Xu Bin, the minister of Taichang Temple, to send an envoy to Wala to welcome the emperor back. What do you think?"
The elders looked at each other. For a moment, they were not sure what the emperor meant. Even Wang Wen and Yu Shiyue were hesitant.
At this time, Xiao Weizhen, the right deputy imperial envoy, suddenly came out and said.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the matter of welcoming the Emperor back cannot be delayed any longer. I would like to go to Wala with Mr. Xu Siqing to welcome the Emperor back."
Seeing this situation, Xu Bin also understood what Zhang Fu meant, became cruel, and also went out of his way.
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to go. The Supreme Emperor is in Yibei, and it will be difficult for us in the Ming Dynasty. I would like to issue a military order to go to Oala. If I cannot welcome the Emperor back, I swear to the death and never return to the capital."
All the ministers present remained silent, no one spoke out to object, and no one spoke in agreement.
In such a weird atmosphere, a smile suddenly appeared on the emperor's face and he said lightly.
"Since several members of your family are loyal to the country, how can I not allow it?"
"The decree was passed to promote Xu Bin, the minister of Taichang Temple, to be the right censor of the Ducha Yuan, in charge of the affairs of Honglu Temple. Xu Bin was appointed as the envoy, Xiao Weizhen, the right deputy censor of the capital, and Zhang Fu, the governor of the Chinese Army Dudu Mansion, was appointed as the envoy. Deputy envoy, we will go to Wala to welcome the Supreme Emperor back."
Lunyin descended, and all the ministers present were stunned.
No one thought that the emperor actually agreed to this matter.
Even Zhang Fu was caught off guard. He thought that the emperor would make things difficult for them no matter what.
However, it only took a moment. Xu Bin was the first to react, and soon after, Xiao Weizhen and Zhang Fu also came to their senses. The three of them stepped forward together and spoke.
"I will receive the order."
The emperor's eyes fell, a smile appeared on his face, and he said.
"It's a difficult and dangerous journey to Wala. I don't want your military order. As long as you can ease the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Wala and successfully bring the Supreme Emperor back, it will be a great achievement. I will order the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other yamen to I will try my best to cooperate, and I will send you a handwritten letter in hand. Don’t let me down!"
So Xu Bin and others kowtowed again and said.
"Your Majesty is wise, I will live up to your trust and swear to the death to welcome the Supreme Emperor back."
All the ministers and clan members present also bowed down and said.
"Your Majesty is wise."
However, in the midst of the salutes of all the ministers, Duke Feng Li Xian suddenly raised his head, as if he had remembered something.
But when he raised his head, he just saw the emperor shaking his head slightly at him, so Mr. Li immediately swallowed his words.
Immediately afterwards, a voice came from the imperial steps.
"Retreat!"
The ministers saluted again, and a group of internal servants surrounded the emperor and left. This long morning court finally came to an end.
