Chapter 385: Connecting with Concubine Gong to find help
Concubine Wang Gong's unexpected summons, during which the news that Zhu Yijun was seriously ill was revealed, which made Li Mi a little unexpected, but Li Mi had already prepared for the worst before entering Beijing, so he would not panic in case of trouble.
Thinking of Concubine Wang Gong's intentions, Li Mi also spoke bluntly and asked straight to the point.
"Niangniang, the emperor's condition can be big or small, and the situation of the emperor is not good, if you talk about the emperor's situation like this, if people know, I am afraid that it will cause big trouble......"
Li Mi was also tempting, as soon as these words came out, there was silence behind the screen for a long time, and Concubine Wang Gong finally spoke.
"Son, you stand guard outside the door."
When Zhu Changluo heard this, he also looked at Li Mi with some vigilance, moved his heels, and estimated that he wanted to bypass the screen to persuade his mother, but Ping Suli was also obedient, so he finally walked out and closed the door again.
It is also common sense for the ancients to have children at thirteen or fourteen, this Zhu Changluo is only twelve or thirteen years old, and Concubine Wang Gong is estimated to be in her twenties, less than thirty, whether it is from the status or the etiquette of generations, there are too many things to scruple about.
At the moment, there are really lonely men and widows in the same room, this is the biggest trick, even if the two are just talking in the air, but if the news leaks, whether it is Li Mi or Wang Gongfei, I am afraid that they will jump into the Yellow River and can't be washed.
This is actually Concubine Wang Gong's posture showing herself, and she actually has no reservations about Li Mi.
At this juncture, the screen lost its meaning, Concubine Wang Gong walked out from behind, and Li Mi also raised his head to look at the other party.
Although this Concubine Wang Gong lives in the cold palace, she is a concubine after all, and her complexion is slightly mature, but her body and face are extremely well maintained.
Although she is just an ordinary palace maid, she is also selected to enter the palace, and her posture and bearing are all superior, besides, she has also experienced many things, and her gestures are full of grace and maturity.
Concubine Gong Niangniang is also a goose egg face, although she is not as good as Zhen Mi, but after all, she is a person who has given birth to a son, and she has not accepted the rain for a long time, and her body is plump, especially wearing a monk's robe, which sets off the graceful and graceful posture full and abrupt.
Li Mi didn't dare to look at it more, so he turned his head slightly, but Concubine Gong came over, and Li Mi could even smell her warm body fragrance!
"Commander Li, you should know how much risk you took to let your concubine in, my mother and son put their lives on the line, can't they get your trust?"
Now that it has been spread out, Li Mi no longer hides it, and said to Concubine Gong: "Niangniang is very loving, Li Mi is deeply impressed, but the emperor is so frightened that he can't afford to have a stroke, Li Mi is the biggest sinner, I'm afraid that no one can keep it, what can Concubine Gong do if she looks for Li Mi to come over at this time?" ”
What Li Mi said was also true, but Concubine Gong shook her head and said to Li Mi: "Commander Shi favors you, let my mother and son must be close to you, the concubine is just a woman, and she doesn't know anything about those things in the court, but Commander Shi said that if you want to see your son Jackie Chan in the future, you should rely on Commander Li......"
"The emperor is seriously ill, and he is bound to be orphaned, Concubine Zheng is the most favored, and she has always wanted Zhu Changxun's child to enter the East Palace, and there must be some action now, but Commander Li also saw it, the concubine mother and son are weak, and they live in a cold palace, if they don't come to you to discuss, who can they find?"
Li Mi is now difficult to protect herself, how can she help Concubine Wang Gong's mother and son? Besides, after Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, he only served as the emperor for 24 days and returned to the west, known as the Son of Heaven in January, from the perspective of the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changxun is more suitable than Zhu Changluo to be the emperor.
This is not simply a choice based on personal likes and dislikes, although Concubine Wang Gong's life experience is sympathetic, but Zheng Guifei has been favored for many years, her power is huge, and the dynasty is full of henchmen, and Zheng Chengen and other royal relatives also hold power.
If Zhu Changxun is allowed to be the emperor, although there are conservative Donglin Party and other civilian cliques who strongly oppose it, it is always more stable than Zhu Changluo, who has only been the emperor for more than 20 days.
Of course, if Li Mi can support the mother and son and restrain Zhu Changluo, he may be able to change the historical node and make him a long-lived emperor, and Li Mi is the most old minister of the dragon, and the mother and son obey him, and the direction of the Ming Dynasty may fall into the hands of his Li Mi!
However, Wanli is a very special period, the Wanli Emperor is the longest reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 47 years in power, and his son Zhu Changluo reigned for 24 days, one reigned the longest, one reigned the shortest, and it was also unprecedented.
Since Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun can reign for 47 years, then this time it should be just a false alarm, but all this has changed because of the arrival of Li Mi, and the cause he planted has to pick the fruits, and the crisis caused by himself may only be solved by Li Mi himself.
It may be too early to talk about the establishment of the national prince, but instead of this, it is better to find a way to see Zhu Yijun's situation.
Li Mi had seen Zhu Yijun during the day, this person was just strong and strong, how could he be scared half to death because of an explosion? Could there be another hidden plot in this, or someone wants to take the opportunity to assassinate Zhu Yijun, and then frame Li Mi?
Thinking of this, Li Mi also comforted Concubine Wang Gong: "Don't be anxious, there are many people in the palace, and the news is also spread mysteriously, the emperor is blessed with all the sky, and there is no need to worry too much about the slightest lack of safety in the dragon body, and the minister thinks that the top priority is to find out the specific situation on the emperor's side first......"
"The minister entered the capital, he was new to the city, and he was not used to it, and the mother had been in the palace for a long time, so there should be some confidants and sisters who were smart and smart, so why don't you ask them about the situation and then make plans?"
When Concubine Gong heard this, she also shook her head, and said to Li Mi: "Concubine Zheng Guifei hates my mother and son to the core, the concubine lives in a simple place, and she is obedient to it, so she has a peaceful child, everyone avoids it, and she is especially afraid, where will she be close to me......"
Li Mi also sighed lightly, the mother and son were indeed having a hard time, and after thinking about it, Li Mi said to Concubine Gong again.
"Although Niangniang lives in the cold palace, after all, she is the concubine canonized by the emperor, and her name is justified, there should be a special insider to serve her, I don't know which father-in-law is in charge of the affairs here?"
Concubine Gong was also a little puzzled when she heard Li Mi ask such a question, and she didn't know why Li Mi asked such an inconsequential question at this juncture, so she answered truthfully.
"The emperor just sent the eunuch Sun Xian over earlier, and he went for three days and five days, and then let the queen mother know, and he was angry, and the emperor was also angry, so he asked the grand duke Wang An to come over and ...... the affairs of the consul general."
"Father-in-law Wang An is a conscientious person, and there has never been a shortage of money for my mother and son......"
"Wang An?" Li Mi was brought into the palace by Wang An, and when he heard this name, he couldn't help but rejoice.
This Wang Anke is one of the few in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not named a traitor after his death, and he was also a good eunuch, whether it was the earlier actions, or the future dispute over the country, the red pill case and even the palace transfer case, etc., in the past few decades, whenever there was a rebellion in the inner palace, it was thanks to Wang An's support from it, and he was a great eunuch who was a pillar of the inner palace.
Li Mi is not very familiar with this history, so he naturally doesn't know that Wang An still has such a resume, but in his opinion, no matter what, Wang An is a close confidant of Zhu Yijun, and if he wants to know about Zhu Yijun's situation, this Wang An is the best candidate!
Li Mi couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, but she really made Concubine Wang Gong see in her eyes, she was not a stupid woman!
Li Mi raised his head, just in contact with her eyes, Li Mi also nodded encouragingly, Wang Gongfei smiled slightly, and said outside.
"Child, you go and invite Wang An's father-in-law over, just say that the mother is overly worried and faints in bed, let him hurry over and have a look!"
Zhu Changluo, who was outside, often ran errands for his mother, and after a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, thinking that he should run out.
As soon as Zhu Changluo left like this, the two people in the room were inevitably embarrassed, and the business was over, and Li Mi didn't want to stay for long, so he said to Concubine Gong: "The minister will retire first, and the mother will only have to wait in the inner room, and the prince will come after a while, and the minister will have his own plans......"
Concubine Wang Gong was still waiting to be retained, Li Mi had already turned around and walked out, she looked at Li Mi's long and straight back, and a trace of disappointment inevitably slipped in her eyes, but she was quickly overwhelmed by shame, and walked back behind the screen with a red face.
Li Mi walked out of the temple, the night breeze blew, and the whole person relaxed, but there was still a lingering aroma in the nasal cavity......
Li Mi is not sure if Wang An will come, after all, Zhu Yijun's situation is not good, as a personal eunuch, how can Wang An get out?
Li Mi thought like this, and thought about how to deal with it next, and unconsciously heard footsteps.
This cold palace is really quiet, but it is also admirable, Wang An is tall, but he walks like a cat, and he doesn't make a sound, but Zhu Changluo's steps are heavy, and I don't know if it's because of lies.
Seeing that Wang An had entered the door, Li Mi came out of the dark and listened outside for a while.
Wang An didn't dare to break in indiscriminately, but just greeted outside, while Concubine Gong was crying and crying, wanting to ask the emperor how the situation was.
As a result, Wang An scolded loudly, blaming Concubine Gong for not asking these questions at this time, but there was no malice in it, but she was a little annoyed, estimating that she hated iron and steel, thinking that Concubine Gong was stupid and would not protect herself.
Li Mi didn't think about relying on Concubine Gong to ask for news, for a cautious person like Wang An, the bitter meat plan would not work, and the reason why Concubine Gong staged this play was just to lure Wang An over.
Li Mi no longer hesitated, pushed open the door and entered in a flash, and closed the door with his hand!
"It's you! Li Mi, you are very bold! actually broke into Concubine Gong's bedroom! You are also an official in the court, don't you know that this is a great crime to kill your head! ”
Li Mi was naturally frightened by this eunuch, just smiled slightly, and said to Wang An: "Before the prince took me into the palace, he should have seen the details of Li Mi clearly, how could Li Mi be such a person, is the prince questioning the emperor's use of people?" ”
Wang An also snorted coldly, and said to Li Mi: "Don't be clever in front of your grandfathers, this is not the place where you should stay, there are palace rules in the palace, since the emperor wants to tie you up, you should lie down obediently, escaping without permission is already a big crime, breaking into Concubine Gong's dormitory, it is even more of a crime, how dare you still talk about it!" ”
Wang An was also quick to talk for a while, but he didn't expect Li Mi to grab the handle!
"How do I remember that it was the prince who ordered me to be kidnapped, when will the prince be able to give orders for the emperor? According to the rules of the palace, just by the words of the prince, I'm afraid it's not a crime of killing the head, it's almost the same, right? ”
Wang An also woke up suddenly, his old face was red, but he was speechless!
