The flower hall was a little quiet.
Compared with the suppression of the military ministers and nobles, it is obvious that Zhu Jian felt more deeply about the dismissal of Yang Shan, Xue Xuan and others, as well as the experiences of his two juniors in the capital inspection.
Now, Jiao Jing's seemingly plain words made Zhu Jian even more emotional.
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother in the palace, is such a noble person, and now she is willing to compromise to such an extent for the sake of the Supreme Emperor.
In the case of Wuying Hall, in the past, even if the Queen Mother Sun knew that she had done something wrong, the most she could do was reward her with a tactful expression.
But now, her old man not only gave her a reward, but also sent someone to visit her in person to convey her apology privately.
This kind of behavior, consciously or unconsciously reminded by Jiao Jing, once again made Zhu Jian feel the difficult situation that Queen Mother Sun was facing now.
Zhu Jian frowned and asked.
"What the Prince Consort means is that there are no ministers in the court who can make the Holy Mother trust her enough to welcome the return of the Supreme Emperor?"
Jiao Jing nodded and sighed.
"It's not that there are none, but with so many ministers being transferred and relocated, there are indeed not many people in the court who dare to speak for the Supreme Emperor. People like you, who not only dare to come forward to speak out, but also dare to go into Oala's loyalty alone Civil servants are even more unique."
Zhu Jian fell silent.
He could feel the wooing in these words, and Jiao Jing's words were almost clear enough.
The emperor has been removing the old ministers of the emperor from the court, as well as those who dare to speak for the emperor.
Since he has taken over the important task of welcoming the Supreme Emperor, it is natural that he will be rejected by the Emperor.
This can be seen from what happened in Wuying Palace.
If what Jiao Jing said to him is true, then judging from the various actions of the emperor before.
He was transferred to Honglu Temple, which indeed seemed to be intentional by the emperor.
In this situation, indeed, the best choice is to hug the Virgin Mary in the palace and the lap of the Emperor who is about to return to the court.
This is not a difficult decision to make.
However, after pondering for a moment, Zhu Jian still said cautiously.
"Thank you, Holy Mother, for your love. I cannot bear it. No matter what the situation is in the DPRK, welcoming the Emperor back is the most important thing now."
"Since the imperial court has a great trust, I must do my best to ensure that the emperor returns to the imperial court smoothly. On this point, the Holy Mother can rest assured."
Hearing this, Jiao Jin slightly felt a little disappointed.
After all, Zhu Jian was careful enough. He only promised that he would devote himself to the matter of the Supreme Emperor, and did not promise anything else.
He deliberately opened his mouth to persuade, but before he could speak, he saw Zhu Jian shake his head and said.
"I'm afraid the prince-in-law doesn't know yet, but the emperor has already issued a decree, and ordered Yu Qian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War of Shaobao, to be the governor-general of both sides, the prime minister of Gansu, Datong, Xuanfu and other departments as well as military affairs and food and salary. He will go to the border in person to thoroughly investigate Luo Tong's collusion with Wang Ji. The case of arms reselling.”
"Now, the decree has just been issued to the Sixth Section, and it has not spread yet, but there will be news from the DPRK and the Central Government in the near future."
Jiao Jing was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he would suddenly mention this matter, so he nodded hesitantly.
Zhu Jian continued: "The reason why I know about this is because just yesterday, Yu Shaobao came to the house in person to talk to me."
"Yu Shaobao said that this time the emperor appointed him as the governor of both sides, in the name of investigating the case, but in fact he was to be in charge of border affairs and to be on guard against making a fuss about Wala's return to the Supreme Emperor."
"At that time, Yu Shaobao also said that the emperor had secretly told him to do his best to ensure the safety of the Supreme Emperor and successfully welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the capital."
These were obviously things Jiao Jing had not expected.
For a moment, he froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.
So, Zhu Jian sighed and said.
"Prince-in-law, young prince, I have been away from the capital for many years. I do not know the inside story of many things that happened in the capital. However, I still believe in Yu Shaobao's character."
"No matter what the emperor thinks about this matter, he sent Yu Shaobao to the border. With Yu Shaobao's character, he will definitely protect the safety of the Supreme Emperor."
"So, regarding this matter, I think the Holy Mother can rest assured."
Jiao Jing looked a little embarrassed. Although he reacted, he didn't know how to react.
His previous words were intended to convince Zhu Jian that the emperor had been obstructing the return of the Supreme Emperor.
This is a fact, so Jiao Jing is very confident.
But what he didn't expect was that Yu Qian would find Zhu Jian in advance and say such things.
This moment left him speechless.
Yu Qian is not only famous in the capital. He started as a censor and became an official, and in the past few decades he has come step by step to where he is today.
His reputation was well-known, and he was praised by both scholars and the government and the public.
So it is obvious that between Yu Qian and his strange relative, Zhu Jian finally chose to believe in Yu Qian.
What's even more sad is...
After thinking about it for a while, Jiao Jing felt inexplicably that Zhu Jian was right.
If Yu Qian really said personally that he would go to the border to ensure the safety of the Supreme Emperor, then he would definitely do so.
Even Jiao Jing himself felt that there was nothing to doubt about this.
But who can tell him why?
Jiao Jing felt that his thoughts were a little confused.
It was obvious that what he told was the truth. The emperor had been obstructing the return of the Supreme Emperor in various ways, openly or secretly. This was the fact.
Why did the emperor suddenly change his attitude so drastically?
You know, if someone else had such an important task as the governor of both sides, he would be able to believe it even if he told Jiao Jing that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to harm the emperor.
However, it was Yu Qian...
Although Yu Qian stood on the emperor's side above Tingju, Jiao Jing still believed in his position on the matter of welcoming the emperor back.
In such major matters involving the state system, Yu Shaobao's credibility has always been trustworthy.
That's why Jiao Jing felt incredible.
This, what happened?
Seeing this situation, Zhu Jian knew that Jiao Jing still didn't know the news, so he pondered for a moment and continued to speak.
"In any case, with Yu Shaobao in charge, I feel more at ease and have greater confidence in welcoming the return of the Supreme Emperor."
"It's getting late. In a few days, I will rush to the border with Yu Shaobao. There are still many things to prepare, so I can't spend more time with you two."
So, in such a confused manner, Jiao Jing and Zhu Yi were served tea to see off the guests and walked out of the gate of Zhu's mansion.
On the carriage ride back, Jiao Jing still frowned, wondering what the joint was.
It was Zhu Yi who reminded him, saying.
"Jiao Prince Consort, Mr. Zhu is right. Now everything must be focused on welcoming the Emperor. Since the Emperor has sent Yu Shaobao to the border, no matter what he thinks in his heart, one thing can be confirmed, that is, the Emperor has indeed sent Yu Shaobao to the border this time. I want to welcome the Supreme Emperor back."
"At this time, it is better to be still than to move. If anything goes wrong again and the emperor is displeased, and he obstructs this matter, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss."
Jiao Jing nodded thoughtfully and said.
"Yes, I just thought about it carefully. After Zhang Fu and others were killed, there were very few old ministers of the Supreme Emperor in the court. It was probably because of this that the emperor agreed to let Yu Qian go to the border to welcome the Supreme Emperor back."
After thinking for a long time, Jiao Jing finally gave himself a barely logical answer.
After all, for the sake of national dignity, Yu Qian had always wanted the Supreme Emperor to return to the court, but he rarely expressed it publicly.
But Jiao Jing has always known this.
Therefore, he finally attributed the emperor's consent to two reasons: the emperor's power had been almost cleared by the emperor, and Yu Qian's private advice.
Jiao Jing said after regaining his composure.
"My young master is right. It is really not appropriate to have any more affairs at this time. I will go to the palace to see the Holy Mother and explain the matter clearly to her."
Having said this, Jiao Jing felt a sense of relaxation that he had not seen for a long time.
But immediately, he felt a little sad.
They had been running for so long to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, but they didn't expect that in the end, they would rely on Yu Qian, the emperor's new favorite.
I have to say it's a bit ironic.
But it only took a moment for him to give up this view.
If they hadn't been running around the court to let the emperor know that there were ministers in the court who supported the emperor, the emperor might not have considered the option of taking the emperor back from the beginning.
After comforting himself, Jiao Jing couldn't help but sigh again and said.
"Zhu Jian, I'm afraid, there is not much hope in the short term, but it doesn't matter. He has accepted the mission of welcoming the Supreme Emperor back. He is destined to be unable to escape, but he still needs to find another opportunity."
"However, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Young Master, you still have to worry more. After the Supreme Emperor returns to the court, you will still need manpower to do whatever you want to do..."
Zhu Yi understood that Jiao Jing was reminding him.
If you want to rely on the Supreme Emperor to regain your title, you have to help the Supreme Emperor continue to manage your power.
Although it is no longer suitable to do anything openly now, the preparations in private cannot stop.
At that moment, Zhu Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, my prince-in-law, my nephew knows what's going on."
So, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, but the light in their eyes had different meanings...
