Chapter 643: There is no arrow to investigate the case after the year
The fire of the new official of "Mad Dog Yushi" is still burning, Ye Xianggao and Zhu Geng fully support, His Majesty the Emperor has acquiescence, and the brocade clothes and guards in the East Factory are pouring out, who dares to say half a word?
Li Mi's current time is tantamount to scraping the bones of the Ming court to cure the poison, and it is also very happy, although everyone in the officialdom is in danger, but the people are applauding.
Especially under the propaganda of Lu Kun and other great Confucians, the literati united with many people to present Li Mi with an umbrella for the people, and Li Mi's reputation was also unique for a while.
This atmosphere is undoubtedly an accelerant, but Li Mi is not without moderation, whether it is the East Factory or Jinyiwei, it is a double-edged sword, if it is used excessively, problems will follow.
Although the current overseer of the East Factory and the Admiral of the Inner Factory are Wang An and Chen Ju, these two are relatively rare eunuchs in the history of the Ming Dynasty and have a lot of praise, plus the great eunuch Tian Yi is in charge, so there is no need to worry about the innocent being hurt by the Arrest Factory.
Some people may think that throughout the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs have never withdrawn from the political stage, and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are worse than the other.
In fact, this is not Li Mi's luck, just imagine, if Li Mi hadn't been pressing Wei Zhongxian, whether it was Tian Yi Wang An or Chen Ju, they would still be as stable as Mount Tai? I'm afraid I wouldn't have kicked Wei Zhongxian out of the inner palace a long time ago.
Besides, Concubine Zheng and Fuwang Zhu Changxun have bad intentions, and the inner palace is also fighting openly and secretly, the eunuchs are their own masters, like Tian Yi and others who are loyal to the emperor, in fact, there are not too many, in this kind of struggle environment, who can clean their hands?
It's just that compared with other eunuchs, they are taller in terms of vision and pattern, and they have not done things that only care about selfish interests and forget about righteousness.
If there was no Li Mi to suppress it, how could there be so many good eunuchs?
However, whether it is Wang Antianyi or Chen Ju, the reputation in history is really good, but then again, the historical data cannot be trusted, and there is no way to know whether it is good or not.
In the final analysis, we study history in order to learn from history, learn lessons from historical events, get inspiration, and promote the development of spiritual civilization in later generations, which is the most important thing.
Otherwise, what is the use of studying the original appearance of history and restoring the historical truth?
The gossip is not mentioned, only that the mad dog Yushi swept the court in this room, scraping the bones and curing the big hole dug by poison, and it always needs fresh flesh and blood to fill it.
Shen Li is sitting in the back, with Ye Xianggao and Li Tingji on his face, but he has also unearthed a lot of talents.
However, the court is not a simple and transparent place, and every official position is crucial, not that the official position is too low, so it has no effect.
The Ming official system is definitely the wisest and most intelligent feudal officialdom system in the history of the world, such as the official position in the six branches, which is a low authority, if it is not for the people who have great faith in their hearts and are unswervingly committed to the country and the people, they would not disdain to be such officials.
Therefore, no matter how big or small the official positions are, they are extremely important, and the most important of them is naturally the Ministry of Officials, because the Heavenly Officials are set up for the selection of officials, and the Ministry of Officials is the official of the officials, whether it is Li Mi or Ye Xianggao, they have not relaxed the control of the Ministry of Officials.
The other is the Ministry of Rites, many people think that the Ministry of Rites is useless, the Ministry of Household is in charge of money, the Ministry of War is in charge of soldiers, and the Ministry of Industry is manufacturing, and all departments have a look, but the Ministry of Rites is a clear water yamen, and no one cares at all.
At first, Li Mi also thought like this, but when he really came into contact with officialdom, he realized that the Ministry of Rites was actually the most important ministry and yamen.
Everything will be justified, who will determine this name in order to be called right?
That's right, it was the Ministry of Rites that formulated this!
Even if Zhu Changluo was able to become the prince of the East Palace, it was because the Ministry of Rites had been supporting, Shen Liye Xiang was a high-ranking person, as long as he ascended to a high position and entered the cabinet as an auxiliary minister, no one could bypass the Ministry of Rites!
Because the Ministry of Rites has always supported Zhu Changluo, Zhu Changxun can't insert people in, he has a lot of cronies in the Ministry of Households, but now he has extended his hand to the Ministry of War!
Once this happens, the problem is much more troublesome.
Although the military department does not directly command the troops, the military of the Ming Dynasty is often controlled by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the so-called Ministry of War is often in the formulation of grand strategies and the provision of logistics, management of military affairs, etc., and the actual transfer of troops to fight wars needs to go through the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
But when it comes to the Ministry of War, it is very revealing, not to mention that Zhu Changxun has been close to the characters of the Praetorian Guard, which is a danger signal of playing with fire!
Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Changxun to come forward by himself, these are all secret information that Li Mi learned through the inner factory and the east factory, just keep an eye on it first, so as not to have an uncontrollable situation.
When the situation settles down, it is said that everyone should be happy, but if someone is unhappy, it can only be Zhu Changxun.
Because only when there is an emergency in the court, can he take the opportunity to abolish the prince, and he will have a bright future, if the situation in the court is stable, the country is rising, and everyone is happy, he will have no chance at all.
Li Mi was also a little incomprehensible at first, it is said that Zheng Guifei was favored, and Zhu Changxun was the same, Zhu Yijun built a palace for him in Luoyang, and the money spent was like a mountain and a sea, and he was not happy to go to Luoyang to live, so he stayed in Beijing and did not let him become a vassal.
Even if you are not the prince, you will not be the emperor in the future, and you will be a free prince, so why do you have to fight for this prince?
But now Li Mi has some understanding.
Zhu Changluo's special background is indeed a little not good-looking, and he has been neglected for many years, if it weren't for Li Mi's intervention, Wang Gongfei and Zhu Changluo would only be afraid to cower and hide in the cold palace, worrying all day long.
Since the emperor wholeheartedly pampered Concubine Zheng Guifei and his Zhu Changxun, why did the huge family business have to be passed on to Zhu Changluo, just to guard a ridiculous ancestral teaching?
Understanding is understanding, but now Li Mi has seen it very clearly, Zhu Changxun and Zhu Changluo's personal abilities not to mention, if Zhu Changxun becomes the emperor, it will be more beneficial to the empire, and Li Mi can also put aside personal grievances and let Zhu Changxun be the emperor.
But under the current situation, Zhu Changluo has not made any big mistakes in the years since he entered the East Palace, and with the assistance of Wang Hongzhi and Lu Kun and others, he has done a good job, showing the bearing of a generation of heroes.
Although Zheng Guifei's side has a huge force, her uncle Zheng Chengen and others have also extended their tentacles to the Nanjing court, and there are many officials in the court who want to take risks.
But if you want to break the pattern created by Zhu Changluo, it can only bring chaos and disaster, how can Li Mi not let this kind of thing happen!
The Mad Dog Imperial History is now known to everyone, and Li Mi is not easy to visit Zhu Changluo or Zhu Changxun, because his every move will cause over-interpretation, so Li Mi rarely shows his head on weekdays, and once he is dispatched, someone will suffer.
However, today, Li Mi is going out quietly.
Because he asked the secret agents of the inner factory to investigate, he finally has an eyebrow!
After experiencing the snowstorm east of Liaodong and the light snow after the New Year in Beijing, Li Mi didn't pay much attention to it.
Li Mi took Suo Changsheng and others, and under the guidance of the spies in the inner factory, they soon came to a slope in the western suburbs.
A shed has been built on the slope to protect from the wind and snow, and the inner factory is on guard, and you can vaguely see the fresh soil that has been dug out of the shed.
As the head of the hospital, Lu Ji's tomb is too cold, although he was ordered by the emperor to cut off his head, but there are still people who collect the corpse, life is a lifetime, the grass and trees are autumn, the geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name, but he doesn't even have a tombstone!
Seeing this, Li Mi was also heartbroken, Lu Ji is a doctor with real skills, although he is tied up and cannot really use his medical skills, but at the critical moment, he has not forgotten the benevolence of the doctor, which is enough to make people admire.
Li Mi didn't think about investigating Lu Ji's death at first, but thought that he would come over to pay respects when he had leisure after the year.
But as Suo Changsheng treated Zhu Yijun, he found some tricks, and Suo Changsheng couldn't get more clues from Zhu Yijun's body, so he could only look for it from Lu Ji.
The reason why Zhu Yijun had a stroke was not a natural lesion, but an artificial inducement, and someone gave him a drug, which would cause him to have a stroke!
Although Suo Changsheng found the residual medicine in his body, after all, he only used the sensitive and subtle stress characteristics of Gu worms, and he couldn't determine what kind of medicine it was.
But what is certain is that according to the degree of drug residues, judging from the time of Zhu Yijun's stroke, Suo Changsheng and others had already been thrown into prison at that time, and only Lu Ji took care of Zhu Yijun.
It didn't take long for Lu Ji to be beheaded, and many people thought that Lu Ji had carried the black pot for Suo Changsheng and others, but at this time, it seemed that he was only afraid that he was killed because Lu Ji knew the inside story!
Li Mi didn't let Fanzi go to Lu Ji's house to search, because the stakes were very high, even if Lu Ji knew, it was impossible for him to stay at home and bring disaster to his family, he really knew Lu Ji too well, this old man had lived a careful life all his life, walking on thin ice, how could he cause a disaster for his family before he died?
Therefore, if there is really an inside secret, Lu Ji will definitely bring it with him or hide it in his heart.
If it is carried on the body, then it should be searched before the execution, even if it is hidden secretly, and when it is reined in after death, it will also be searched.
And if it is hidden in the heart, the person is already dead, how can he ask it again?
Although he knew this, Li Mi still had to come over and take a look, maybe this secret was indeed hidden in Lu Ji's heart, but Li Mi was not the only one who wanted to know this secret!
The person who poisoned Zhu Yijun will definitely not feel at ease, and he will definitely come to ensure that Lu Ji will not leak the secret, so Lu Ji's tomb must not be intact!
And the person who converged didn't even leave a tombstone, it was clear that he wanted to hide Lu Ji's death, if it weren't for the vast power of the inner factory, it would be impossible to find this nameless cemetery.
Although Suo Changsheng was not disgusted by this kind of scene, he still asked Li Mi: "Brother, this person has been dead for so long, it is estimated that the skin and flesh are gone, what else can be found?" ”
Li Mi actually doesn't have much confidence in his heart, this is the final breakthrough, and when there is no other way, there are not many choices.
"Sometimes the dead are more credible than the living, and let's see how it goes."
So saying, they went into the shed, but when they saw that the whole shed had covered the graveyard that had been dug up, and that the coffin had not rotted, they put a piece of kudzu cloth on the lid of the coffin, and the bones of the bones were placed on top of it.
"It's really a white bone ......" Li Mi was also a little disappointed, and everyone sighed even more, saying that there was only a handful of bones left, what else could be found?
