The four words of doing what he can made King Chu Ding fall into contemplation, although Li Mi's story is only a character at the bottom of the market, but pushing himself and others is also the same.

Although the situation of this story is different, it tells the same truth, especially the four words of doing what you can, which makes King Chu Ding deeply touched.

He no longer concealed Li Mi, and said to Li Mi: "There is no urgency to arrest people, you sit down, this king has something I want you to help with the staff officer." ”

King Chuding pointed to the seat next to him, Li Mi also sat down, and the black-clothed eunuch served fragrant tea again, and after retreating, King Chuding told the Jingshi to stay in a hundred households, Wang Shouren, a descendant of Wang Bi, and the celebrant eunuch and others came to check the library and inspect it.

The whole thing is the same as what Shen Zhangting said, but King Chu Ding, as the person concerned, also showed the emperor's recital to Li Mi, so it was more intuitive.

This kind of palace internal affairs, especially those involving the royal family, are usually not external, but King Chuding took it out for Li Mi to consult, which shows his trust in Li Mi.

But this just reflects a problem, King Chu Ding is really in a hurry, maybe he really has no money, or maybe he is worried that the money will be searched, no matter what, his anxiety cannot be disguised.

Li Mi didn't beat around the bush, and asked King Chuding, "Is that silver really in the palace?" ”

Although Li Mi had already heard Shen Zhangting say that the palace had suffered heavy blows one after another, and now it was already the end of the crossbow, and it was just bright outside, but in the end, he still asked King Chuding.

King Chu Ding also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Li Mi: "That Wang Bi is involved in the case of Lan Yu's rebellion, where can he leave this windfall, the Chu Wangfu has been running water one after another for many years, and it has suffered heavy losses, which is also obvious to all......"

Li Mi also nodded, and said to King Chuding: "Lord, this matter can be figured out by the prince, and the lower officials can understand it, I believe that it is impossible for those adults in the court not to know, and the saint should also know it......"

"Hmph, since he knows it in his heart, why do he have to let people come to check, why...... Why...... Why ......"

As he spoke, King Chu Ding gradually turned from complaining to doubting, and then became solemn again, his voice became quieter, and then he became silent, and it took a long time before he raised his head, and finally smiled!

"It's really a word to wake up a dreamer, Li Mi, you are really a talent! Hahaha! ”

Li Mi has always been very clear about his strengths, weaknesses and strengths and weaknesses, after all, he knows that his strength is criminal investigation, and his sense of smell in politics is not sensitive, and he does not have much talent and awareness.

Even so, he Li Mi could see the meaning behind it, with the level and realm of King Chu Ding's identity, how could he not figure it out?

King Chu Ding seemed to have solved a big matter, and his mood improved, and he said to Li Mi: "This king hasn't been there for a long time, so I'll take you to meet Zhu Huachi." ”

Li Miben was still worried about how to meet Zhu Huachi's wife, but now that King Chuding is out of the horse, it will be fine!

Because Zhu Huachi is only a member of the sect, and the king of Chu is here, the whole family must be dispatched to take over!

"The prince has every opportunity, how can the lower officials bother the prince again...... Although he was proud, Li Mi was still polite, but King Chu Ding was in a good mood and waved his hand.

"I just praised you for being decisive, how can my mother-in-law get up and walk ahead!"

As soon as King Chuding said this, he stood up, and the eunuchs prepared a guard of honor, dressed in regular clothes, and walked up with Li Mi, along the way, he also talked with Li Mi about all kinds of palaces, palaces and houses along the way, etc., and also talked about the origin of history, but regarded Li Mi as his own family.

Seeing this situation, the people of the palace were also envious, two days earlier, Li Mi was just a martial arts scholar, not as fine as Zu Dashou and others, but followed the Kang family Laojun to add in, who knew that Li Mi first shined in the competition, eye-catching, and now through the arson case and the cellar to save people, he became the prince's guest, but it really turned into a dragon when he encountered a storm!

King Chu Ding also had the intention to promote Li Mi, and he smiled and laughed all the way, and his pace slowed down, after all, the eunuchs had already gone to inform Zhu Huachi's family, and they also needed time to gather their families and prepare to meet them.

The palace is also very big, fortunately, King Chuding is also in the prime of life, otherwise he would have to make a sedan chair halfway.

When I arrived at Zhu Huachi's room, I really saw that the door was wide open, and the family, including slaves and servants, was full of hundreds of people, lined up on both sides, and when they saw King Chuding, they rumbled and knelt down.

In ancient times, the Chinese nation did not really prosper and bow, the ancients did not have a bed, that is, when the chair was not introduced, everyone was kneeling and sitting, so kneeling in ancient times was actually the meaning of sitting.

As for bowing, it is only used when the courtiers meet the king, or when they pay tribute to the kings of heaven and earth during major sacrificial ceremonies.

Until the Song Dynasty, the ministers still did not need to bow down to the emperor in the court, but after the Mongols went south and established the Yuan Dynasty, kneeling and kowtowing gradually became a means for the Mongols to enslave the Han and belittle the Han people.

At the beginning of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, the national hero Wen Tianxiang was captured by the Mongols, and Kublai Khan personally persuaded him to surrender, and even promised to let Wen Tianxiang manage the entire Central Plains.

However, Wen Tianxiang was unmoved, and in the face of Kublai Khan, Wen Tianxiang only knelt down, still treating Kublai Khan as a foreign envoy.

Three years ago, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty interrogated Wen Tianxiang, he still only bowed his hand and did not kneel, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty was furious, and people pressed Wen Tianxiang's head, Wen Tianxiang would rather sit on the ground and struggle, and refused to kneel.

Wen Tianxiang said, kneeling in the south and north, I am a Song person, so I will follow the Song etiquette, how can I kneel to Hu!

Three years later, when Wen Tianxiang stood in front of Kublai Khan, he was still only bowing and not bowing, and he was the last Chinese to stand!

Because the Ming Dynasty was influenced by the Mongols, and gradually began to rise to bow and worship, the Mongols did not learn Han culture, but used this primitive and low-level etiquette system to assimilate the thoughts of some Han people and cultivate this servility.

Fortunately, there was a Hai Rui during the Jiajing period, and he hated the ritual of kneeling very much, and his nickname "Dr. Pen Stand" was obtained because he did not kneel to Shangguan and maintained the dignity of the teacher.

The kneeling ceremony of the Ming Dynasty is also good, divided into the head of the head, the head of the head, the empty hand, the hand and the hand, etc., between different objects, with different etiquette, the people are not allowed to bow the first salute.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhenzhen evolved into a slave lackey who wagged his tail and begged for mercy, which was really ugly to the extreme.

The Manchus are not like Mongolia, but they are more hateful than Mongolia, they learn Chinese culture, but the purpose is to better enslave the Han people, the Mongolians do not speak Chinese, do not learn Chinese characters, then in the eyes of the Han people, they have always been barbarians, will always be wary.

However, the Manchus studied Sinology, which made many people mistakenly think that the Manchus were also Han Chinese, and the Manchus could also be orthodox, because the Manchus admired science, and many people blamed the slave culture such as kneeling and bowing to science, especially Zhu Xi, the master of science in the Southern Song Dynasty.

But the physicists of the Ming Dynasty were not like this, these literati doctors were very tough, that is, in this Wanli period, there was one, that is, the great Confucian Lu Kun that Li Mi had come into contact with.

Lu Kun once said that if the temple is reasonable, the Son of Heaven must not take it from each other, that is, to seize it, and the reason will always extend to the world for eternity.

After arriving in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those physicists used this to discredit Lü Kun, and it is conceivable to what extent the history of the Ming Dynasty was underestimated and distorted.

The gossip was also stopped, only that King Chuding took Li Mi to Zhu Huachi's auxiliary lieutenant's mansion, and Zhu Huachi led the whole family out to greet them.

Some etiquette can't be avoided, chattering for a while before it ends, Li Mi is also secretly observing, this Zhu Huachi is only twenty years old, he is really young, many old sectarians in the family are very polite to King Chu, but he is a little unconvinced in his eyes.

Although he is only in his early twenties, he already has a group of wives and concubines, Xu is the tradition of this family, the number of female dependents is huge, but there are few heirs, Li Mi saw this, he said that he had to persuade Suo Changsheng to raise Gu, the yin qi here is heavier.

This Zhu Huachi is not as good-looking as Zhao Guangling, nor is he as romantic as Shen Zhangting, let alone as beautiful as Zhang Huangting, he is very thin, his head is very big, his forehead is protruding and full of oil, fortunately, his teeth are neat and white.

King Chu Ding didn't have a good impression of this Zhu Huachi, and asked him to guard the four gates of the palace, probably to see the face of his ancestors, but he just nodded at Zhu Huachi and walked into the main house.

After King Chuding sat down, Li Mi accompanied him, at this time Li Mi looked around, almost all of those female dependents were scattered, and there were only a few wives and favored concubines left.

Li Mi secretly glanced at the wives and concubines around Zhu Huachi, all of them were young and beautiful, but they had resentment on their faces, and they thought that they were guarding the spring boudoir but it was difficult to bear the rain and dew, and several of them were holding back their pimples.

I heard that Wang Ruyan's daughter is also a beauty, younger than Zhu Huachi, only fifteen or sixteen years old at the moment, but Li Mi doesn't know which one it is, he just feels that none of them are like them.

Because Wang Ruyan's sister is the princess of Chu Gong, although his family is only from the palace guard, but in the end it is contaminated with nobility, this Zhu Huachi's family background has long been decayed, although those women are young and beautiful, but their temperament is less noble.

When Li Mizheng was not sure what to eat, Zhu Huachi of the Chuding Dynasty asked, "Isn't my cousin's illness still healed?" ”

Because Wang Ruyan's sister is Princess Gong, and Zhu Huachi is the same generation as Zhu Huakui, the king of Chuding, Zhu Huachi forcibly married Wang Ruyan's daughter against the ban, and the generation is a little messy.

Besides, according to the secrets inside, if Zhu Huakui is really the child raised by King Chu Gong from Wang Ruyan's family, then this Zhu Huachi is Zhu Huakui's own sister!

Therefore, King Chu Ding would not call Wang Ruyan's daughter the wife of the Zhu Huachi family, but just pretended to be a cousin according to the rank of Princess Gong.

Zhu Huachi is also weak-hearted, after all, the arrival of the King of Chu is a big event, and the whole family must welcome him, and the first few old sectarians in the family are also supported out, but Wang Ruyan's daughter Wang Yu really can't get out of bed, so he can't hide it.

"Yu'er got seriously ill in the middle of the year, and it didn't heal, Lang Zhong couldn't say why, he took a lot of medicine, but he was getting thinner and thinner, and now he can't walk, and I hope the prince will forgive him!"

This is also where King Chuding is embarrassed, his cousin of the dignified prince actually let Zhu Huachi marry as a concubine, if it weren't for the sake of the sect, where would Zhu Huachi still be good!

King Chu Ding also snorted coldly, and no longer paid attention to Zhu Huachi, but towards an old sect in the middle.

"Uncle, which medical officer did you invite?"

The old sectarian was also vague, and he couldn't say why, King Chuding was even more annoyed, thinking that Zhu Huachi was a person who liked the new and hated the old, and there was no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, not to mention that he was just a woman, he lost interest, so he took a new concubine and forgot Wang Yu!

King Chu Ding slapped the table, thought about it, couldn't scold it in the end, and said to Li Mi: "Li Mi, you are also proficient in medical skills, and you will go with this king to see your cousin." ”

"This ...... Although the prince is coming, Yu'er is a dependent, and she is bedridden, so I'm afraid it's not suitable......"

Zhu Huachi looked weak-hearted, and he also talked about etiquette at this time, but King Chu Ding couldn't hold back any longer, and kicked him on the door of his face, and the latter bled from his mouth and nose and scattered all over the ground!

"Bastard, this king wants to visit his cousin, and he wants you to talk more, aren't you a thief, afraid that I will see your ugly things!"
