In the huge imperial garden, there are only Li Mi and Emperor Ming, although it is the middle of winter, but the garden is still full of flowers and plants, competing for beauty.

However, whether it is Li Mi or Zhu Yijun, they are not in the mood to enjoy the flowers, the two look at each other, Zhu Yijun has lost the majesty of the emperor, he is only left with a body of vicissitudes, his face is full of fatigue, Li Mi is no longer walking on thin ice, more like a nephew.

"The saint is tired...... Li Mi walked forward, did not kneel, but sat on the steps in front of Long Yuan, after many years, he finally came to this step.

Zhu Yijun didn't have any displeasure about this, but let out a long sigh of relief, and said to Li Mi: "After all these years, you finally dare to talk to me like this......

Yes, Li Mi has no disrespect for Zhu Yijun in his heart, but he is not a person in feudal society after all, and he hates kneeling to Zhu Yijun from the bottom of his bones.

Therefore, Li Mi never felt unhappy because Zhu Yijun did not trust him, because he did not treat Zhu Yijun sincerely.

Perhaps in matters big and small, Li Mi never conceals it, and is willing to pay and sacrifice, but in his eyes, he only has the Ming dynasty, only those people, and he does not have much respect for Zhu Yijun personally.

Since Li Mi has not been absolutely sincere, how can he demand Zhu Yijun's absolute trust in himself?

However, today, Li Mi finally put down all his disguises and sincerely expressed his posture.

He is a courtier, yes, but he doesn't want to get along with Zhu Yijun with a groveling attitude, this is the privilege he wants, or rather, he has always wanted to get along with Zhu Yijun like a friend.

Maybe Zhu Yijun has been waiting for this scene, even if it is late, at least it will come after all.

Li Mi did not salute, did not have a trace of trepidation, but just sighed that he, the emperor, was too tired to live, as if two old friends were chatting.

"There should be wine at this time." Zhu Yijun smiled slightly, and said such a sentence for no reason.

Li Mi didn't turn his head, just smoothed the corners of his robe, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Where can you still drink in your body, why don't I let Changsheng enter the palace, maybe ......."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "That's it, life and death are fate, I have already seen it, Suo Changsheng is certainly a holy hand, but his ability is not to save people, but to kill people, I have long known this in my heart, which is why I have not let him enter the palace......"

"Maybe you'll think I'm too careful, but as soon as this case opens, those women in the harem gather some witches and demon girls one by one, and this palace will not stop, but don't underestimate these women, they really want to make a fuss, it's even more terrible than the battlefield battle outside......"

"It's like Concubine Wang Gong and Concubine Li Jing, who are gentle and well-behaved on their faces, but in fact, they are ...... It's just that you don't want to hear about the things in this palace......"

Li Mi also smiled: "What does the Holy Lord think I want to hear?" ”

Zhu Yijun sat up from the dragon chariot, Li Mi hurriedly stepped forward to help, Zhu Yijun moved to the side of the coffee table and personally poured a cup of tea for Li Mi.

The amber tea, the emerald green jade bowl, the temperature is moderate, the aroma is tangy, Li Mi took it, sniffed the tea fragrance, took a sip, the lips and teeth were fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless.

"Don't you know everything you want to hear? People say that you Li Mi is already the first detective of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone praises Qingtian, how can you not know? ”

Li Mi sighed lightly and said, "The Holy One shouldn't burn the Zhengyang Gate...... After all, that's the façade of Miyagi......"

Zhu Yijun smiled, but coughed lightly, and after a while, he pressed it down with tea and said to Li Mi.

"If I don't burn the Zhengyang Gate, how can you come to the palace to see me? If I don't burn the Zhengyang Gate, how can I have the name to let you return to the court? ”

Li Mi never understood Zhu Yijun's motive for burning Zhengyangmen, and when he heard it at this time, the whole person was shocked!

In Li Mi's view, Zhu Yijun never really trusted himself, and even thought that Zhu Yijun intended to drive himself out of the court, after all, Li Mi's influence was too great, and Zhu Changluo was too weak, Li Mi stayed in the court, if Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, it would be a situation where the monarch was weak and the minister was strong, and it would be of no benefit to the country.

However, Zhu Yijun confessed at this time that it was such an inside story, and the fire of Zhengyangmen was just to let Li Mi have a case to investigate, because it involved the façade of the palace city, who is more qualified to investigate than Li Mi?

As for the Wenxiang Sect, now it seems that it is just Zhu Yijun's chess piece, making a stepping stone for Li Mi to return to the court!

When Li Mi returned to the court, he investigated the Zhengyangmen arson case and wiped out the Wenxiang Sect, such a feat was enough for Li Mi to regain a foothold in the court, and no one could shake Li Mi's authority!

But Zhu Yijun did this, which is tantamount to entrusting the empire to Li Mi's hands, which also shows a problem, Zhu Yijun knows that his time is running out, this is entrusting the orphan!

Li Mi didn't speak for a long time, but Zhu Yijun felt warm, and said to Li Mi: "You don't need to guess, and you don't need to be afraid of this problem, don't look at me now, I'm in good spirits now, but I know in my heart, this is a flashback, and my time is running out......"

Finally heard this big thing from Zhu Yijun's mouth, Li Mi was also very sad in his heart, in history, Emperor Wanli was the longest-reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne at the age of ten, and has been an emperor for forty-eight years.

But now it is only thirty-six years of Wanli, that is to say, Zhu Yijun's life span has been shortened by twelve years!

In addition to sadness, Li Mi felt no guilt in his heart, because he stirred up the situation from it, many historical events were advanced, and it also led to many emergencies in the palace, if it weren't for these emergencies, Zhu Yijun might not be what he is now.

So in Li Mi's opinion, the twelve years of life lost by Zhu Yijun were actually taken away by him Li Mi!

Although Zhu Yijun did not go to the court, he did not ignore the right thing, and the three major expeditions of Wanli achieved a complete victory, the military exploits were unparalleled, the Western missionaries were recognized, Western learning was spread, and the whole country became active and open.

In addition, the economy of the Ming Dynasty is in the leading position in the world, the same is true of military and science and technology, now the internal and external troubles have been removed, the literati have also begun to pursue the emancipation of individuality, and there are many books against feudal etiquette and religion among the people, etc., the germination of capitalism is the most prosperous stage, and everything seems to be developing in the best direction.

Although Li Chengliang has become a leader, the Jianzhou Jurchen has been cut off by Li Mi's claws and tusks, Xiong Tingbi and other young people in the army have grown up, and the entire Liaodong is solid.

North Korea was in awe of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese slaves were no longer in the climate, and those so-called Western armadas wanted to seize Macao, so that the Ming Dynasty would be repulsed by a prefect.

If you follow the historical trajectory, this time should have been a big turning point in the decline of the Ming Dynasty, but because of the appearance of Li Mi, the Ming Dynasty has not gone downhill, but has become the overlord!

Although Zhu Yijun did not obey Li Mi's words, and even suspected Li Mi many times, but from the overall situation, Zhu Yijun supported the new camp of Shenji, Zhu Yijun agreed to Matteo Ricci's mission, Zhu Yijun just expelled Li Mi from the court, but he supported and implemented most of Li Mi's suggestions.

It is precisely because of this that the Ming Empire has the prosperity of this time, if there is no Zhu Yijun, or if Zhu Yijun really does not trust Li Mi, he will not get everything he has now.

At present, even Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun have no news, life and death are unknown, although the civil officials in the court still have party disputes, but they have not reached the point of causing chaos in the government, but they are like catfish in the cabin, with these catfish constantly making noise, the sardines in the entire cabin can continue to escape and stay alive.

It's just that Zhu Yijun couldn't watch this good situation continue, although Zhu Yijun saw it very openly, but Li Mi was very sad in his heart.

Seeing that Li Mi was silent, Zhu Yijun finally asked, "Will you come back to assist Pei'er?" Although he is not young, you know that his temperament is too cowardly, if you don't have you to support the façade, this good situation is probably going to be decadent. ”

Li Mi finally moistened his eyes, because he knew what Zhengyangmen meant to the emperor, and he dragged his sick body to burn Zhengyangmen, just to let Li Mi return to the court, this sincerity was enough.

"Minister...... The minister will definitely do his best to assist and die with all his might, but I still have one more thing to do, can the Holy One give me some more time? ”

Zhu Yijun smiled: "It's your child who is about to be born, right?" ”

His face was full of kindness, and his gray hair looked even older, which made people unbearable.

Li Mi nodded, but shook his head again: "This is one of them, there is another thing that needs to be done, but it may take longer, so I hope that during this period, Changsheng can enter the palace to take care of the saint, and if the saint agrees, I will come back." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded Li Mi: "This is the real you...... If you had spoken to me like this, it would have been much less trouble......"

Li Mi also smiled, he knew that Zhu Yijun agreed.

"The minister will go on an errand first, and the saint will wait for my good news!"

When this case reaches this level, there is no secret at all, just let Wang Sen and Wenxiang come out as substitutes for the dead ghosts, and Li Mi will be able to pay justifiably.

"I asked Wang An to detain Wang Sen, take it away when you leave the palace."

"Also, although Wei Zhongxian has a lot of eyes, he is indeed a person who can do things, I asked him to do this thing, don't be too harsh on him, I believe in your ability, if you can't even drop a castration, I will be really disappointed......"

"Sometimes, these people jump and jump, the court is lively, if the court is lifeless, this huge mountain and river will be in the twilight......"

Li Mi nodded and said, "I understand, Wei Zhongxian will not be a trouble, the saint can rest assured." ”

Hearing Li Mi's promise, Zhu Yijun finally nodded with peace of mind, and said to Li Mi: "Go back first, tomorrow I will listen to the seal, I won't let you feel cold anymore." ”

Speaking of which, Li Mi didn't need to worry about anything anymore, he raised his hand boldly, and wanted to pinch Zhu Yijun's shoulder, but his hand reached out to his shoulder, but he retracted it, pulled away his robe, and bowed to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun was also amused, shook his head, watched Li Mi leave the imperial garden, raised his head and took a breath, and suddenly felt open-minded, and his soul seemed to be integrated into the air, as if the entire soul and the mountains and rivers of the empire were integrated.

However, he was also a little curious, or expectant, and he wanted to know what the other thing Li Mi was going to do was.

Maybe people are like this, with expectations, there is hope for the future, maybe they can live longer because of this.

He habitually raised his head, and Lu Jiamao in the dark appeared in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "What does the master want me to do to find out what Li Mi is going to do?" ”

Zhu Yijun's hand stopped in the air for a while, but finally put it down, and said to Lu Jiamao: "I just want you to help me back to the palace, that's all......"

Lu Jiamao was slightly stunned, and then came over to support Zhu Yijun, endured it, and finally said: "Lord is a good emperor......

Zhu Yijun stopped, looked into the distance, and muttered: "You know, I also know, Li Mi may also know, but can everyone in this world think like this?" ”

Lu Jiamao hesitated for a moment, and then scolded: "Those who write history are turtles who forget bastards!" ”

Zhu Yijun laughed.
