Chapter 665: The Emperor Gives Marriage to Reveal the Yin Owl
Li Mi saved Zhu Yijun again, but Li Mi was also bitten by a snake once, and he didn't want Zhu Yijun to be suspicious anymore, so he pretended to be injured and hid in the imperial hospital, but Zhu Yijun still found it in the end.
His body was already extremely weak, and after all these changes, he looked older and older.
Fortunately, the matter has been resolved, although how to deal with Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun, outsiders have no way of knowing, Zhu Yijun's eyebrows have always had a faint sadness, and it seems that he has not yet come out of this betrayal, but when he saw Li Mi, he smiled in the end.
"What? Are you afraid that I will drive you away again? Zhu Yijun got straight to the point, without any cover-up, Li Mi was a little embarrassed, after all, Zhu Yijun did say what he thought.
Seeing Li Mi's look, Zhu Yijun also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Although I am a little hesitant to employ people, but in the end it is a kind of kindness, your kindness to my royal family, I remember it in my heart, you don't have to worry a lot, now it is an eventful time, you are a court humerus, you have been living in the imperial hospital, it is not possible, Taoguang Yanghui this set, but it doesn't work."
Li Mi also sneered: "As a courtier, he should share his worries for the king, how dare the minister be lazy......"
Zhu Yijun nodded Li Mi, and joked with a smile: "You have too many eyes, whether you can trust me or not, don't worry, I won't let you down this time." ”
"Someone!"
As soon as Zhu Yijun said this, the eunuch Chen Ju behind him immediately walked out, took out the yellow silk, and said to Li Mi: "Li Mi takes the order!" ”
Li Mi was also surprised, this battle was also too big.
Don't look at TV and movies to announce the decree at every turn, Li Mi has lived in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and the number of times he has seen the decree is only a handful.
The official decree is usually not abused, nor is it the emperor's decree as soon as Chrysostom opens, the decree is the emperor's will, but it needs to be drafted by the cabinet, handed back to the emperor for review, and after the emperor's approval, it is issued to the cabinet, and then the cabinet is issued to the department to execute.
It can be said that only very important matters will be used in the Holy Decree, and ordinary affairs are handled by the Cabinet and officials in the department, and the Holy Decree is rarely used.
Of course, if it is canonization or something, the holy decree and the official documents of the Ministry of Rites cannot be avoided, and at this time, Li Mi is hiding in the imperial hospital, what is it that is worth using the holy decree?
Although Li Mi pretended to be injured, he didn't dare to hold it anymore, so he hurriedly knelt down, but muttered in his heart, what's the matter, your emperor will make it clear to his face, how can he still make a holy decree.
You must know that once the holy decree is promulgated, the so-called imperial decree is difficult to disobey, and once Chrysostom is opened, it is difficult to change it!
Perhaps it was also because Zhu Yijun was worried that Li Mi would excuse himself, so he used the holy decree, so that Li Mi could not refuse.
Chen Ju read out the holy decree in a frustrated manner, although Li Mi heard this text, it was not too detailed, but the general meaning was still understood, and he immediately frowned.
Because this holy decree is indeed the holy decree of canonizing Li Mi, and it is actually canonizing Li Mi as Xu Guogong!
Li Mi was canonized as the Count of Martial Arts, which has shocked the government and the opposition, except for Li Chengliang, no one else is already unmatched, and now he wants to canonize Li Mi as Xu Guogong!
You must know that the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to and cherishes these titles, except for Xu Da Chang Yuchun and others who were named the Duke of the Republic of China at the beginning of the founding of the country, and they are also the six founding princes of the Ming Dynasty who have left their names in history, the others are posthumously sealed and deceased.
Especially in the end, the founding heroes have been killed, and there are very few who can hold the title of Guogong and be able to start and finish well, and the more famous ones here are Yao Guangxiao, the Rongguo Gong who followed Chengzu Zhu Di, as well as the British Duke Zhang Fu and Chengguo Duke Zhu Neng.
After the Yongle Dynasty, no one can be crowned with such a title, it can be said that Li Mi is the only one who has been awarded the title of Duke of the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years, which is a great honor!
However, Li Mi didn't have time to be happy, because in the second half of the holy decree, there was only one thing, that is, to marry the princess Zhu Xuan to Li Mi and let Li Mi be a concubine!
Zhu Yijun has eight sons and ten daughters, only five of the eight sons survived, and only two of the ten daughters survived, one is Princess Rongchang Zhu Xuanyuan, that is the eldest daughter born to Zhu Yijun and Queen Wang, and the only concubine, after giving birth to this daughter, Queen Wang has nothing to do, and Zhu Yijun has not canonized the queen again, so Princess Rongchang is the only concubine.
The other one who survived was the seventh-ranked Princess Shouning, as for why she died early, first, because of the limitations of fertility technology and sanitary conditions in ancient times, childbirth is a matter of nine deaths and nine lives, and secondly, it is estimated that the struggle with the palace is also inseparable.
Concubine Zheng and Zhu Yijun gave birth to three sons and three daughters, but in the end, only Zhu Changxun survived, and only the seventh princess Zhu Xuanyuan survived among the three daughters.
Princess Rongchang is very old, she is the seventh princess, and she has already married Ran Xingrang in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, and the dowry is needless to say, Zhu Yijun loves this daughter the most, so that she can ask for peace every five days, and the honor and favor cannot be increased.
It is no wonder why Zhu Yijun is so fond of Concubine Zheng Guifei, Zhu Changluo is the eldest son, but he was born not glorious, the second son was born to him and Concubine Zheng Guifei, but some people say that it was Concubine Zheng who took away the sons of other concubines, but unfortunately he died early, and then Zhu Changxun came down.
Li Mi knew this situation very well, so he also knew that this Guisi princess Zhu Xuan should have been inherited by Zhu Yijun from among the daughters of other clans.
If Zhu Yijun wanted to have a stepdaughter, he would have done so a long time ago, and only succeeded to a daughter at this time, which was obviously just to let this daughter marry Li Mi, because he no longer had a daughter to marry Li Mi, so he used the method of the step-clan.
And he wants Li Mi to be a concubine, the meaning is no more obvious, maybe he has trusted Li Mi, but because of the matter of Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun, he is not very at ease with Li Mi.
He wanted to use Li Mi, knowing this court and the current situation, but he couldn't use Li Mi, but he didn't dare to use it boldly and confidently, so only when Li Mi became a colt and became his own family, he could completely trust Li Mi!
The first person to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom in a hundred years, and he has to give a marriage horse, such an honor, if it is replaced by another one, it is a fortunate thing for three lives, and it is something that cannot be sought!
However, Li Mi did not accept the order for a long time, which also made the great eunuch Chen Ju very anxious, this is a grace that everyone dreams of and cannot ask for, it is enough to go down in history!
But Li Mi has a lot of concerns, first, he already has Zhen Mi and Zhang Huangting, and he has no interest in other women, even if he knows the Qiu Dong girl's heart for himself, and the two have experienced so many things, but Li Mi still hasn't included the Qiu Dong girl in the room, not to mention that he has never met this Guisi princess Zhu Xuan?
Moreover, the reason why Zhu Yijun let Li Mi be a concubine is, in the final analysis, he still didn't fully trust Li Mi, and he needed to use this layer of in-law relationship to dare to use Li Mi boldly and confidently, which did not make Li Mi feel flattered, but felt disheartened.
The emperor is really different from ordinary people, Li Mi even asked silently in his heart, how many times do you have to save him, and how many sacrifices do you have to pay in order to completely win Zhu Yijun's trust?
In fact, Li Mi is clear and thorough when he thinks about it, the emperor's unconditional trust is not something that anyone can fight for, and no matter how much he does, he can't get it.
Whether it is the founding heroes around Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di's martyrdom, except for those who retreated bravely in the rapids, none of them ended well, that is to say, those who retreated bravely in the rapids also did not get the trust of the emperor, otherwise there would be no need to retreat bravely in the rapids.
Wanting to gain the emperor's complete trust is a false proposition in itself, and you will never get the answer you want.
After figuring this out, Li Mi no longer had extravagant hopes.
The glory is certainly exciting, Princess Guisi is also Zhu Yijun's selection from among the women of the clan, whether it is character or posture, it should not be bad.
But this princess Guisi will inevitably become Zhu Yijun's eyes and ears, monitoring Li Mi in everything, only in this way can Zhu Yijun let Li Mi do things in the court with peace of mind.
Although Li Mi has a sense of belonging, as if he is a person of this era, but he is not, he is not like Ye Xianggao, who regards the fate of the country as his own responsibility, he just does what he can to continue this dynasty.
At this point, regardless of life and death several times, Li Mi has already done his best, he brought new firearms, so that the Qi family army can continue, clear away foreign enemies, cleanse internal troubles, it can be said that he has removed most of the obstacles for the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, if the Ming Dynasty still can't avoid its demise, then what's the point of Li Mi paying more?
Therefore, at this moment, Li Mi is not as eager as Ye Xianggao to be an official or ruling in the court, and he is not keen on power, let alone attachment.
In this case, why bother yourself and accept Zhu Yijun's holy decree?
Li Mi's thoughts flowed and he hesitated, Chen Ju coughed dryly, Li Mi didn't react, and Zhu Yijun also looked displeased.
"What, I'm too stingy?"
Although it was a half-joke, Li Mi could hear Zhu Yijun's dislike, because no matter who it was, this kind of glory was already the top of the sky.
Li Mi also shook his head frankly, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty's holy grace Wanlong, the minister is flattered, how dare you steal from the high lord?" ”
Zhu Yijun thought that Li Mi was disgusted, but when he heard this, he also smiled and waved his hand: "What you have done over the years, one by one, I know it in my heart, you deserve the reward of this prince, so you don't have to be humble anymore." ”
After all, what should be said can't be avoided, Li Mi gritted his teeth, and said to Zhu Yijun: "This duke's reward, the minister is sincerely afraid, the gift of the horse, but the minister can't accept it, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive ...... sin."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, his face immediately turned cold, the reason why he gave the marriage was to be able to trust Li Mi in the future, Li Mi refused, in turn, it can only show that Li Mi has a ghost in his heart, otherwise why would he not want to accept the supervision of him, the emperor?
Seeing Zhu Yijun's ugly face, Li Mi immediately explained to Zhu Yijun: "The minister already has a wife, and Zhen Mi and I live and die together, how can we not abandon it, Princess Guisi is a princess, she can't be a concubine for me, this thing can't be done......"
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he also suddenly said: "It turned out that it was for this matter, horizontal and vertical is just a name, as long as you are willing, Xuan Yu, this child, I can give her the identity of a flat wife, and Zhen Mi will be a small one, and it will be the best of both worlds." ”
This should also be the safest solution, the emperor came forward to give marriage and let the princess be a flat wife, which is already unprecedented.
However, Li Mi still shook his head and said to Zhu Yijun: "The minister really wants His Majesty to give him the title of a flat wife, but not Princess Guisi, the minister implores His Majesty to give Zhang Huangting as the minister's equal wife, and the minister is willing to give up all the officials and lords, and return to the field!" ”
As soon as Li Mi said this, Zhu Yijun's face suddenly turned blue!
