Chapter 429: I can't figure out the emperor's intentions

Li Mi's early withdrawal really disrupted Zhu Yijun's rhythm, and when he heard Li Mi say this, Zhu Yijun frowned and said with a displeased face.

"What did Li Qing say, you have done a few things very well, and I still have to entrust you with important tasks, how can you go back to propose marriage now, could it be that you are still complaining in your heart?"

Zhu Yijun said this, where did Li Mi dare to answer indiscriminately, although he saw Zhu Yijun's thoughts, but he still pretended to be frightened and said: "The minister does not dare to make this idea, and it is not the work of the ministers to discuss the establishment of the prince, it is the minister's inconsiderate thinking, although the minister also wants to share the worries of the saint, but he is not good at the affairs of the court, and the words are inappropriate, and the saint's punishment is also a matter of course......

Although it is ultimately the emperor who decides, if the emperor breaks the ancestral system and does something that is not in line with the law, the ministers have the right to refute and admonish.

However, Li Mi's inhumane sentence at this time also made Zhu Yijun sound very comfortable, so he said to Li Mi.

"It's normal for you to have resentment in your heart, but I'm not old and faint, it's still too early to talk about the prince at this time, but these courtiers have repeatedly persecuted, how can you let me not be annoyed?"

Zhu Yijun also didn't vomit or be unhappy, so it was easy to say it, so he continued: "I might as well tell you, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless, Pei'er is my blood and bones, tiger poison still does not eat children, how can I not feel sorry for this child?" ”

"It's just that you've also seen it, Pei'er is introverted and indifferent by nature, and he doesn't look like a prince, if it weren't for slapping Guanghaijun this time, I wouldn't know that he still has such courage and self-esteem, and he is worthy of being a descendant of my old Zhu family, and he is not a loser......

When Zhu Yijun said this, he also stretched his brows, and he was very pleased, and Li Mi also knew that it should be the dispute between Guanghaijun and Zhu Changluo that had an effect, so he said to Zhu Yijun.

"This is a gratifying thing, people have to grow up after all, some people are earlier, some people are slower, but the eldest prince is only ten years old, too harsh but some seedlings are promoted, if you can see more, the saint may find more surprises from him......"

"The saint should know that Li Mi is not one of those old-fashioned civil officials, if it weren't for martial arts, Li Mi wouldn't even have a serious background, as for what the elders and young maintain orthodoxy in an orderly manner, although I understand the truth, I won't stick to the rules......"

"Whether it is the eldest prince or the third prince, the minister is only a one-sided relationship, there is no bias, why should the minister be so enthusiastic......"

Li Mi also poured out his heart and lungs, and Concubine Li Jing nodded endlessly, but Zhu Yijun shook his head at Li Mi and smiled bitterly.

"It seems that Li Qing really doesn't know anything about the things in the palace, Pei'er has been weak since he was a child, and he looks like he is only ten years old, but in fact, he is thirteen years old, which is the same age as Guanghaijun......"

"What? Thirteen years old? Li Mi was also stunned, he was really a disadvantage if he was not familiar with history, he couldn't calculate the specific age, and he didn't ask much about the prince's age, and he didn't talk about this issue with Concubine Wang Gong, so he was also a little shocked at the moment.

But it's no wonder that Zhu Yijun's change will be so big, if Zhu Changluo is a few years younger than Guang Haijun, the contrast is not so strong, since they are of the same age, the gap looks too big!

What Li Mi didn't know was that Zhu Changluo had been accompanying his mother in the palace, but his mother Wang Gongfei was not taken seriously, and Zhu Changluo was wronged, so even though he was thirteen years old, Zhu Changluo still hadn't read a day!

Li Mi's surprise was sincere, and when he fell into Zhu Yijun's eyes, he was even more indebted and said to Li Mi.

"I have really suffered Pei'er over the years, so I don't blame you, Li Qing's words also made me feel a little, so this time, I decided to let Pei'er go to North Korea for me!"

Although Li Mi had expected it, after Zhu Yijun said it himself, Li Mi was still greatly relieved.

However, Zhu Yijun quickly said to Li Mi: "Don't be too happy, if Pei'er goes on the expedition for his father, you must accompany the guards to ensure his safety, otherwise this matter will be mention-free." ”

Li Mi didn't want to go to the battlefield, it was because he didn't know how to fight, so he didn't mix with the things of fighting, and asked him to protect Zhu Changluo, in the rear, it was not impossible, even if he agreed.

After all, if you really want to fight, the new Shenji Battalion must be the most important combat force, and all of your brothers and sisters are working hard in the Shenji New Battalion and the 5,000 Battalion, how can Li Mi stay in the capital and steal peace?

Zhu Yijun was also happy when he saw Li Mi agree, and half-jokingly said to Li Mi: "You are all looking forward to me making this decision, and in the court in the future, you can't force me to make a statement, otherwise this matter will not be over!" ”

Li Mi also knew that this was Zhu Yijun's bottom limit, and even though he nodded and praised him, Concubine Li Jing took the opportunity to talk and chatted with Li Mi about Zhen Mi, and then sent Li Mi out of the palace.

Shen Li left the state guesthouse with Li Mi, knowing that Li Mi was going to enter the palace, and was also waiting for news outside, seeing Li Mi's face full of joy, he came over excitedly and asked, "The Holy Lord agreed?" ”

Li Mi nodded vigorously: "Yes, agreed!" The Great Prince is about to go on an expedition! ”

Shen Li laughed and asked for details, then he was full of joy, and wanted to celebrate with Li Mi, and dragged Li Mi to his house, he didn't drink well.

Tonight, it was destined to be a carnival of the courtiers, although it was gossip and could not be publicized at will, but it soon spread throughout the officialdom, and those civil officials regarded it as their victory.

Although Li Mi won it at the cost of being deprived of his official position, many people think that Li Mi is just a kick in the door, and they are the heroes who have fought for ten years!

Li Mi didn't care about these either, after returning from Shen Li's house, he slept beautifully, after all, he also had a good drink.

I don't know how long I slept, the autumn and winter girl suddenly came in to wake him up, and when she looked at the sky outside, she realized that it was already evening, and Shen Li was already waiting for him outside.

Li Mi hurriedly got up, rinsed his mouth with tea, changed his clothes, and then hurriedly came out to meet, but saw Shen Li sitting with a sad face, and Li Mi was also a little nervous.

"The Holy One has repented?"

Shen Li shook his head: "I didn't regret it, but the old man finally knew why he asked you to stop making trouble......

Li Mi looked puzzled, but Shen Li continued: "The Holy Lord made a deal with the courtiers at the court meeting today......

"Doing business?" Li Mi was even more confused.

"Yes, the Holy Lord has given in and let the eldest prince go out on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but the condition is that the cabinet must be edicted and promise the three kings to be crowned!"

"Three kings combined?"

"Yes, at the same time, the eldest prince Zhu Changluo, the third prince Zhu Changxun and the fifth prince Zhu Changhe will be crowned kings."

Li Mi was even more confused when he heard this: "Isn't this a good thing?" The eldest prince was crowned king, isn't it one step closer to the lord of the East Palace? Besides, if you want to go on the expedition for the saint, you must have a name, right? ”

When Shen Li heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said to Li Mi: "The saint is just repeating the old trick......

"Re-acting?"

"Yes, it's not the first time...... He still hasn't recognized the eldest prince......"

The more Li Mi listened, the more confused he became, and Shen Li no longer sold Guanzi, and told the events of the year in one breath, and Li Mi suddenly realized.

After Zhang Juzheng was liquidated, the first assistant of the cabinet also began to change, and the famous minister Shen Shixing and others took office one after another, and when Wang Xijue was the first assistant, the courtiers proposed to the emperor to establish a prince.

The emperor said that Zhu Changluo was still young, and after ten years, he would hold a canonization ceremony, which was actually delaying time.

A few years earlier, the emperor finally couldn't resist the persecution of the courtiers, so he drew up a plan to crown the eldest son, the third son, and the fifth son together, and let the cabinet draft a decree to promulgate.

In Zhu Yijun's words, although the queen has no children now, she is still young, and she may not know when she will give birth to a son.

According to the rules, no matter how big or small, the queen gives birth to a son-in-law, and if she wants to be crowned the prince, then the queen's son-in-law is also eligible, but if Zhu Changluo is crowned the prince, how should the queen obey the rules after giving birth to a son?

Therefore, the three kings will be sealed, and the position of the prince will be waiting for the queen, if the queen really can't give birth to a son at that time, choose one of the three kings.

Although this statement is very reasonable, the courtiers saw Zhu Yijun's intentions!

Zhu Changluo's advantage over Zhu Changxun lies in the identity of the eldest son, and now Zhu Yijun uses the queen's possibility of giving birth as an excuse to divide the three kings, which is equivalent to depriving Zhu Changluo of his advantage, and then he will be able to choose talented among the three kings, such as Zhu Changxun!

The courtiers saw through his thoughts, so they didn't want to give the edict, and the holy decree was sealed in the cabinet, but the first assistant Wang Xijue finally compromised, and the cabinet finally obeyed the edict!

However, the courtiers did not agree, they thought that Wang Xijue's submission was a shame for the civil officials, and he failed to live up to the courtiers' expectations and trust in him.

Wang Xijue is a good capable minister, he has a lot of great achievements during his tenure, although his reputation is not ruined in this edict, but in the most important period, he withdrew from the court lonely.

Zhu Yijun asked him to be reinstated as an official several times, but the differences between Wang Xijue and the courtiers were too great, and he couldn't stay in the civil official group, so he could only give up and replace him with Zhao Zhigao and others.

As soon as Shen Li explained this, Li Mi was also stunned, thinking that it was a good thing, but he didn't expect Zhu Yijun to not recognize Zhu Changluo after all.

And Shen Li also mentioned that Zhu Changluo only started studying last year and the year before last, which once made Li Mi feel very shocked!

However, the matter has come to this point, I am afraid that both sides will have to make concessions, and the courtiers will not agree to the merger of the three kings, and Zhu Changluo will not be able to go out for his father.

It's just a trade-off, if Zhu Changluo performs well in the process of going out, it can be regarded as an increase in the bargaining chips, and going on the expedition for his father is a move to establish his identity, maybe Zhu Yijun proposed the merger of the three kings, but he didn't want to lose to the courtiers.

He is a strong person, the dignified emperor, the holy decree is for you to call back, and the ordinary holy decree is just that, Lao Tzu can't even decide his own heir, so he has been angry with the courtiers for so many years, and there is no reason to bow his head and admit defeat all of a sudden!

Maybe this decision is just to disgust the courtiers and win back their face, but in any case, the courtiers have a pimple in their hearts.

After so many contacts, the more Li Mi can't understand Zhu Yijun, the so-called gentleman's heart is unpredictable, probably like this, to what extent can his attitude towards Zhu Changluo change, and he can only hope that Zhu Changluo's performance can satisfy Zhu Yijun.

But it is difficult to guarantee that during Zhu Changluo's expedition, Zhu Yijun will not make other arrangements for Zhu Changxun and others, and Shen Li also said that the matter of dividing the seal is not going to be done immediately, as for what happens, we must wait and see what happens.

In any case, when the courtiers thought they had won the victory, Zhu Yijun proved one thing to the courtiers with such a hand, no matter how much trouble you make, your Grandpa Zhu is still your Grandpa Zhu in the end!
