Chapter 224: The Adulterous Eunuch Passes on the Secret Decree
Eunuchs this special group of people, in the long history of the play a very special role, eunuchs for the cause of disaster is not uncommon, the Northern Song Dynasty, eunuchs can be in politics, even all over the officialdom, like Tong Guan such a big eunuch can actually lead the army to the battle, different surnames to be crowned king.
And the Ming Dynasty at the end of its dynasty, the disaster of eunuchs is also endless, although there are also figures such as the Three Treasures Eunuch Zheng He, but Liu Jin, Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, Wei Zhongxian, etc., among the eunuchs who have been stinking for thousands of years, the Ming Dynasty occupies half.
Throughout the history books, such as the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, although majestic, but inevitably the death of the second, although the Han * affairs are strong, but it is inevitable that the decline of a hundred years, the Yuan Dynasty will be crazy for decades, and the Qing Dynasty will not be able to do military after the Kangxi Dynasty.
And although our Ming Dynasty was despised and smeared, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was maintained for the longest time, almost for three hundred years!
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were fun-loving, lazy, stingy, absurd, and indifferent, but there were no soft bones, no harmony, no tribute, no land cution, no compensation, no bowing to any force, even if the country was destroyed and not a slave, Chongzhen committed suicide, and Nanming resisted for 38 years, which is unique in the history of the world!
I'm a bright fan? That's right, I'm a Ming fan, at least in the Ming Dynasty, there has never been an unequal treaty, why? Because from Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to the last Emperor Chongzhen, the old Zhu family has no habit of compromise!
But such a Ming Dynasty has caused the literati and eunuchs to plague for two or three hundred years.
Li Mi knew the disaster of the eunuchs, and did not have any good feelings for the eunuchs, which is also worth understanding, Li Jinzhong is also the later Wei Zhongxian, and many historians attribute him to one of the culprits of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Mi is not a historical researcher, and he is not even familiar with history, maybe literary and film works will be biased, after all, it is impossible to restore the truth at that time, but Li Mi is inevitably a little preconceived.
There are also many people who carry the black pot in history, so it is not easy for Li Mi to dislike someone arbitrarily, or without knowing enough.
So for Li Jinzhong, although he was a little disgusted in his heart, he did not target this person because of this.
From the moment Li Jinzhong led Ti Qi in, Li Mi knew that his purpose was nothing more than to pass on the secret decree.
Since it is a secret decree, it is necessary to hide people's eyes and ears, Li Jinzhong naturally wants to put on a good show, since he brought Tiqi, arrest Li Mi, and secretly interrogate him, it should be the most confusing behavior.
So Li Mi had actually seen through Li Jinzhong's mind a long time ago, and in the end, when Zhang Huangting stepped forward and stood up for Li Miqiang, Li Mi still accepted Li Jinzhong's hint and cooperated with him to finish this set of dramas.
It is precisely because Li Mi is so clever that Li Jinzhong also feels very frightened, after all, what he came to convey this time is the secret of today's son!
Seeing that Li Mi took the initiative to ask, Li Jinzhong no longer sold Guanzi, cleared his throat, and said to Li Mi: "Your Majesty's secret purpose is here, and Suzhou Mansion proclaims to comfort and appease Governor Li Mi kneeling down to receive the order!" ”
When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, it was really a secret purpose!
In fact, he had thought of it a long time ago, and Shi Shiyong had already greeted him earlier, so Li Mi was not too surprised, and immediately knelt down on one knee.
Li Jinzhong glanced around, then took out the holy decree from his arms, and recited in a suppressed voice.
"Feng, the heavens carry it, the emperor said: I heard that the rule of the holy king of the past, must be powerful to An Lishu, did not try to specialize in literature and not perform martial arts, I followed the holy act, and specially set up a brocade cloth to command, and those who were appointed by the Si must be loyal to the body, benevolent to soothe the people, wise to observe the subtle, and prevent treachery and insults. Now there is a history of the people who have been cited by Li Miye, loyal and benevolent, enough to be useful, specially awarded the title of commander of the name of Jinyiwei, when there is no time to look at the opportunity to honor and the predecessors and extend it to the heirs, do not slack off, the seventh day of November in the twenty-first year of Wanli. ”
Li Mi only listened to this holy decree a rough idea, after all, Wen Xuanxuan didn't understand it very well, which probably meant that under the recommendation of Shi Shiyong, His Majesty the Emperor appointed him as the commander of the famous color!
Shi Shiyong once said to Li Mi that there are only two famous commanders, one is his Shi Shiyong, and the other is unknown.
However, to Li Mi's surprise, the emperor actually accepted Shi Shiyong's recommendation, which shows that Shi Shiyong's words in front of the emperor still have a lot of weight!
Although it is said that he is the famous commander of Jinyiwei, to put it bluntly, he is a spy agent, so it is no wonder that he has to send an irrelevant eunuch like Li Jinzhong, and Li Jinzhong even played the role of interrogating Li Mi.
Li Mi's mind was racing, but Li Jinzhong reminded: "Master Li? Master Li, take the order and thank you! ”
Li Mi complied, accepted the holy decree, and asked Li Jinzhong, "Does my husband have anything else to say?" ”
Li Jinzhong just smiled and didn't say anything, Li Mi also understood, these eunuchs didn't have much oil and water in the court, and coming out to announce the decree or buy it was their chance to make money, what did Li Mi want to know from him, how could it be done if he didn't mean it?
If it was someone else, Li Mi would follow the customs of the villagers and give money, but on the other side was the later traitor Li Jinzhong, if he didn't take this opportunity to teach him how to behave, I was afraid that he would be even more unscrupulous in the future!
Thinking of this, Li Mi stuffed the holy decree into his arms and smiled at Li Jinzhong: "Since there are no other orders, I will leave first." ”
Li Jinzhong heard this, and his face changed greatly, this holy decree has a few lines of words, where can I finish talking about these secrets, the name and color command is a secret work appointed by His Majesty, Li Mi's terms of reference, what should be done, the holy ones are all verbal, how can they let him go!
"Master Li is slow, the Holy Lord still has to say here, but the masters came from Beijing, and they haven't drunk a sip of hot water...... Look, Master Li...... Adults should understand, right? ”
Li Jinzhong has already said clearly enough, and said in his heart that Li Mi is a person who is valued by the saint, so he should not be ignorant of the rules of officialdom.
Li Mi naturally heard the meaning of the words, but he couldn't let Li Jinzhong get his way, so he pretended to be stupid and said at this time: "Yes, the contemptible person understands, and it is also rude, and the contemptible person will let people prepare hot tea." ”
Li Jinzhong thought that Li Mi was really clear, but he didn't expect to be such a stunned person!
However, he soon came to his senses, Li Mi was afraid that he didn't understand, he didn't look down on him, and he didn't bother to give him benefits at all!
Li Jinzhong was suddenly a little annoyed, there were tens of thousands of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and even tens of thousands of eunuchs at their peak, so that the imperial court had to prohibit it, and when he was desperate, he wanted to cut his younger brother, and wanted to use this to enter the palace to make a living, which was illegal, and the palace would not accept people who were castrated by themselves as palace people at will.
He Li Jinzhong wandered the streets, owed a lot of debts, and could only make a living from the palace, from the palace that risked his life, eight out of ten died because of infection, he Li Jinzhong was able to survive, and he mixed up in the palace, but he was also desperate, and he paid a great price.
Now that he has finally mixed up something, how can he not take the opportunity to make a fortune?
Although Li Mi is the famous commander appointed by the Holy Lord, the eunuchs and bosses even dare to steal things from the royal treasury, and the cabinet ministers have to slap the eunuchs, not to mention that Li Mi is such a foreign minister, reaching out to him still gives him face!
If Li Mi is really a stunned young man who doesn't understand the rules, it's fine, but he is clearly well versed in it, but he deliberately neglects and even teases him Li Jinzhong, how can he not be annoyed!
And because this time it was a secret message, Li Mi's identity could not be exposed, so he did not hesitate to act in such a play to hide people's eyes, but he couldn't attack Li Mi, this is the most annoying thing!
Thinking of this, Li Jinzhong still sighed in the end, if you want to blame yourself, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky, with such a master as Li Mi, this time out of the palace can be regarded as empty-handed.
Thanks to him, he begged the great eunuch Wei Chao for a long time to get such an opportunity, who knew that it was a bloody transaction, and he still owed Wei Chao's husband a great favor when he went back, which was also unlucky!
"I won't drink the hot tea, the Holy Lord's edict, the name of the command is extremely secret and important, you must not easily expose your identity, now Shi Shiyong went to sea in advance, spying on the military situation, there is an important matter that needs to be handled, so I will entrust it to you, I hope you will not let the Holy Lord down."
Li Mi saw that Li Jinzhong was talking about business, and he no longer teased him, so he said to him: "Please show the saint." ”
Li Jinzhong was a little reluctant, and said to Li Mi: "A while ago, someone told me to question the truth of the bloodline of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chuding. ”
"Zhu Huakui, King of Chuding?" When Li Mi heard this, he was also a little surprised, and said in his heart that this is a matter of the royal clan, but it can be big or small, it seems that the famous commander is really a long way to go!
Li Mi didn't know anything about this King of Chuding, although he had been here for more than half a year, he had already adapted to the environment, and he paid attention to the collection of information, but he still didn't know anything about these royal clansmen.
I am afraid that this investigation is also difficult, there was no DNA technology in ancient times, and if you want to identify whether Zhu Huakui is true or not, you really start from scratch.
"Does the Holy One have any other instructions?" Although Li Mi didn't hold out much hope, he still asked.
Li Jinzhong knew that he couldn't get any bargain in Li Mi's place, so he didn't bother to say anything, and snorted coldly at Li Mi.
"That's all the Holy Lord's oracle, this is the gold medal of the famous commander given by the Holy Lord, you have to take it away, and the gentlemen have to rush back to Beijing, so it's up to you to weigh it yourself."
After Li Jinzhong finished saying this, he stuffed a silver thread black silk bag into Li Mi's hand, Li Mi opened the bag and saw that there was really a gold medal half a palm-sized gold medal in it, and the inscription was made by the Ouchi Imperial System, and there was also a seal of the Ouchi Guards!
If it is an ordinary certificate, it is enough to be issued by the ministry, and the famous commander is the emperor's secret agent, and he can only use the seal of the guard department as an identity certificate.
Li Jinzhong dropped the gold medal and left, those horsemen also came and went like the wind, Li Mi just walked out of the room, Chen Heguang and others rushed over, Li Jinzhong was angry, and he didn't bother to explain to these local officials.
Fortunately, Chen Heguang is used to ushering in the send-off, but all eunuchs, where dare to be lazy, hurriedly let people entertain Li Jinzhong, and Li Mi naturally couldn't tell Chen Heguang about such secrets, just a few vague words, and returned to his residence.
Li Mi has already thought about it along the way, this Li Jinzhong is also Wei Zhongxian, since he bumped into his Li Mi's hands, he must not be let leave so simply, no matter what, he will not dare to do anything wrong from now on!
But he came over with a large number of horses, how should Li Mi teach this future nine thousand years old?
