Chapter 7004 Leaving the palace to send off the true emperor
Zhu Yijun is going to summon Li Mi in the end.
Li Mi also knew very well in his heart what this summons meant, because Zhang Guoxiang had already sent someone over a few days earlier and secretly reminded Li Mi.
So before entering the palace, there is still a lot of work that needs to be completed by Li Mi.
He first summoned Zhen Mi, Zhang Huangting and others, and at this time, Li Xuanfei could already say some simple words, and she was also very sticky to Li Mi, so that the nurse could take care of it temporarily.
Shen Yu was stabbed in the abdomen before, and after recuperating for such a long time, he was finally able to recover, but for some reason, the whole person was depressed a lot.
Li Mi looked around, and then said to everyone.
"What I'm going to say next is crucial and not to be underestimated." When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to open their voices.
Li Mi continued: "The emperor wants to summon me into the palace, and this time I am afraid that I will be orphaned......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was not too shocked, because they were all Li Mi's henchmen, and they knew Zhu Yijun's physical condition, and they estimated that their lives were almost the same.
"But where the old and the new alternate, there will inevitably be great turmoil, according to the emperor's temperament, it is estimated that a large number of auxiliary ministers will be degraded, and then let the new monarch be promoted again, so that the favor is the new monarch's, and the old ministers will do their best to assist the new monarch......"
Such cases are not uncommon in history, and everyone understands that Li Mi is Xu Guogong, the glory is incomparable, and he is the commander of the left capital, and the entire capital and the inner palace are under the control of Li Mi, and it is said that Li Mi will not be belittled.
Because when the old and the new are alternated, both the inner palace and the capital need the most stable environment, and if Li Mi is repulsed, who can control the situation better than Li Mi?
Of course, the threat of Concubine Zheng and Zhu Changxun has disappeared, the other princes are not competitive, and there are no traitors in the inner palace, the replacement of the old and the new should be very smooth, Zhu Yijun thinks that there is no need for Li Mi to take charge, and it is also a matter of course.
Therefore, Li Mi still has to be prepared to be belittled, after all, he is the most important one among many old ministers!
The reason why I say this is not to elevate Li Mi, although the Ming Dynasty seems to be that the Haiyan River is clear, the four seas are peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but in fact, the court is a miasma.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the auxiliary minister Li Tingji, when he was summoned to the cabinet, he has resigned hundreds of times, and since joining the cabinet, he has only been working normally for three or four months, and the rest of the time he can't get out of the cabinet.
The Ming Auxiliary Minister is equivalent to the Prime Minister, which is the dream official position of the civil ministers, but Li Tingji has resigned again and again, not because he does not want this official position, but because he has become disheartened with the imperial court.
In the historical record, Li Tingji served as an auxiliary minister for six years, and the actual errand time was only a few months, so it is conceivable what the court is like.
Although Ye Xianggao is said to be a capable minister, it is difficult to support it alone, because Zhu Geng is no longer in the cabinet, and Li Tingji is not a director, no matter how capable Ye Xianggao is, he is not iron-clad.
Although Li Mi does not interfere in political affairs, his weight is unmatched among many officials, so if you want to belittle the old ministers, I am afraid that Li Mi will be the first!
Everyone present also had the same thoughts, but when Li Mi opened his mouth, they were even more shocked than Zhu Yijun's news of Tuogu!
"I want you to be ready to leave, I have asked Shenyu to contact the Shunfeng Society earlier, they should have prepared the ship, as long as things are not right, let's leave this place as soon as possible!"
When everyone heard this, they were actually a little confused, and they couldn't figure out whether Li Mi wanted to avoid it temporarily or leave completely, but listening to Li Mi's meaning, it seemed that they were more inclined to the latter!
Zhen Mi was very excited about leaving the capital, because she had never liked this kind of life, and Xianyun Yehe was free, wouldn't it be faster to live?
As for Suo Changsheng and others, there is no need to say it, the family is all freaks, and none of them like brocade clothes and food, they are all people who yearn for the rivers and lakes.
Abe Xuanhai was very puzzled: "Li Jun, Emperor Ming relies on you so much, why are you in a hurry to leave?" Assist the new monarch, a very popular minister, and do a vigorous thing, this is what the heroes do! ”
Li Mi looked at Abe Genkai and wanted to say something a few times, but in the end he shook his head and said towards Abe Genkai.
"It's just a matter of preparation, if everything is fine, who wouldn't want to stay?"
Although he said so on the surface, Li Mi asked Zhen Mi and the others to get ready, and packed their bags overnight, but when there was a stir, they could leave the capital.
In the end, everyone in the Guogong Mansion has seen strong winds and waves, and they are not like a great enemy because of this, so as not to make people notice that the atmosphere is not right, how to live, and how to live.
The next day, Li Mi entered the palace.
Sure enough, Zhu Yijun's condition was already very bad, and the whole person looked extremely weak.
Xu couldn't withstand the blows of Concubine Zheng and Zhu Changxun, and his health plummeted, and only a handful of old bones remained.
Seeing Li Mi come in, Zhu Yijun asked people to sit up, looked at Li Mi, didn't say anything for a long time, but asked about Li Mi's age.
"Li Qing has two Chinese New Year's Eve today, right?"
I didn't expect Zhu Yijun to remember his age so clearly, and Li Mi also nodded and said, "Yes, it will be thirty-two by the end of the year." ”
Zhu Yijun looked Li Mi up and down, and sighed: "It's good to be young......"
This sentence is full of pathos, Li Mi is also a little unbearable, but he doesn't know how to comfort him, but Zhu Yijun is not too verbose, and he knows that he is not in good spirits, and if he doesn't say it, he can't finish it.
"I can't hold this body anymore, while I can still move, I want to live a few days of leisure, and after a few days, I will pass the throne to the prince, and you are the minister who cares about your life."
"But you are younger, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, so I want you to leave for a few days, you go to Dingling first to show me around, after the prince ascends the throne, he will summon you back, this desire to promote and suppress is also a habitual trick, and the courtiers should be able to see it clearly."
Zhu Yijun finally didn't hide anything, and he was also honest with Li Mi, but Li Mi was vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"Your Majesty's dragon body is stable, why do you say these words......"
Zhu Yijun snorted coldly and said to Li Mi: "It's all this time, do you still want to say some flattering words to lie to me?" My days are numbered, and you don't have to hide them. ”
"The prince is cowardly, if you don't have your assistance, you will inevitably be bullied by these dog officials, I can trust you, don't let me down is ......"
Xu is dying is also good at his words, Zhu Yijun babbled a lot, but it was all heart-wrenching words, Li Mi also listened silently, not daring to express his opinion.
When the business was finally finished, Zhu Yijun asked Li Mi, "Concubine Xuan can speak?" ”
"Yes, it doesn't stop all day, it's very ......noisy" At the mention of his daughter, Li Mi's face was full of happiness, but at this time, the smile didn't seem to be appropriate, and Li Mi also instantly cooled down.
Zhu Yijun looked very open, smiled, and said to Li Mi: "Can you understand my hard work now?" ”
Zhu Yijun's so-called hard work naturally refers to the hard work of Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun, Li Mi thought about it, and nodded in the end.
"That being the case, then I'll tell you that I didn't kill them, but placed them together, and this matter can't be hidden from the prince, so you have to help me protect her mother and son, maybe you can do it?"
When Li Mi heard this, he also frowned, and replied truthfully to Zhu Yijun: "The minister is happy, but the minister and the Niangniang Fu King are too deep, I am afraid that they will not worry about the minister's ......."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he also waved his hand and said to Li Mi: "That's their business, their mother and son are used to living a luxurious life, where can they suffer a little, and when they work hard, they know how precious it is for someone to be hurt." ”
When Zhu Yijun said this, he no longer bothered about this problem, and beckoned to Li Mi, Li Mi stepped forward, and Zhu Yijun whispered to Li Mi where the mother and son were hiding.
Li Mi also wrote it down by heart, but listening to Zhu Yijun's tone, this should also be the end of benevolence and righteousness, and it is also the last grace to the mother and son.
If Zhu Yijun hadn't died a long time ago, his health wouldn't have deteriorated to such an extent.
After everything was done, it was already dark, and Zhu Yijun was extremely tired, so he fell asleep unconsciously.
Li Mi is also worried, in case Zhu Yijun dies at this time, the trouble will not be small.
Fortunately, after watching until dawn, Zhu Yijun woke up in the end, his spirit was very strong, he struggled to get up, and said to Li Mi: "I will personally send you out of the palace today." ”
Where did Li Mi dare to do this, but Zhu Yijun blindly insisted, and Li Mi stepped forward and supported Zhu Yijun.
When Li Mi touched the emperor's body, he clearly felt that there was only skin and bones left, as if a little force would break his arm.
Although he walked slowly, but in the end he walked in front of the palace gate, Zhu Yijun looked up from afar, and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity, I haven't gone out to take a look at this great river and mountain." ”
In fact, his feet have always been sick, and his walking is not very good-looking, and it is even more inconvenient, and at this juncture, it is even more difficult.
Although he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had been fighting with people, fighting with Zhang Juzheng, fighting with civil and military officials, not convincing anyone, conquering the Mongolian tribes, quelling domestic rebellions, aiding Korea and resisting the Japanese, etc., he has never admitted defeat.
But now, he is standing in front of the palace gate, taking a step forward, and he can get out of the palace, but he can't take this step anymore.
Although he was already extremely weak, and his body had begun to shrink and crumble, this figure seemed to be taller than the palace behind him, just crumbling, as if the pillar of heaven that was barely supporting it was about to collapse.
This emperor, who has never shown weakness, showed his last weak image in front of Li Mi, as if to say to Li Mi that in the final analysis, he is just a mortal.
"Let's go, go to Dingling to sweep the way ahead." Zhu Yijun said this, obviously not wanting Li Mi to see his sad embarrassment.
Li Mi nodded, gave him a final salute, and turned around to leave, but seemed to hear Zhu Yijun whispering something.
When Li Mi listened to it, his heart was also tight, because Zhu Yijun said: "You should no longer be wary of me, but should be wary of His Royal Highness the Prince, because I will die, and he will become the new emperor......"
Li Mi was surprised, but also sad.
