Chapter 391: Dealing with the Follow-up Serial Scheme
Li Mi didn't expect that he finally stabilized Zhu Yijun and got Tian Yi's gratitude, but Shen Cheng took the initiative to return the holy decree!
The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was able to restrain the excessive expansion of the emperor's power and dictatorship, and it was precisely because of this system that the Jiajing Emperor fought with the civil and military officials for decades and did not go to the court, and the same was true of the Wanli Emperor.
The emperor's decree, the cabinet has the right to reject, and the emperor promulgated the decree, the cabinet also has the right not to return, if you persist for a while, the cabinet will promulgate the decree, the mining tax policy can be abolished, that is the well-being of the people in the world!
But in order to get Zhu Yijun's favor and reuse, Shen has always used some means to persuade Zhao Zhigao and others to take the initiative to return the holy decree, isn't this going to be a big deal!
Although Tian Yi and Wang An are close servants of the Son of Heaven, especially Tian Yi, they are from the Inner Book Hall and are proficient in government affairs, and most of Zhu Yijun's twists and turns in the past 20 years are actually handled by Tian Yi, but Shen Yi can't be allowed to bring the holy decree back!
After all, they are the people around the emperor, the emperor has called more than a dozen eunuchs, and they have taken turns to go to the cabinet to pursue the holy decree, and Zhao Zhigao and others have been holding it up earlier, and now Shen has always persuaded the cabinet ministers to send the holy decree back, which is definitely great news for the emperor.
As the emperor's courtiers, they should bring Shen Cheng in as soon as possible, and it will be a great joy to return the holy decree!
Tian Yi is also extremely sad and angry in his heart, he is a person who worries about the country and the people, although he is a crippled body, but this kind of feeling is not something that ordinary eunuchs can have.
In order to abolish the mining tax, he did not hesitate to contradict the emperor, and almost let the emperor kill him, this kind of integrity is noble and admirable, but all the efforts, the wound on the head is still oozing blood, and it can't even withstand Shen's consistent flattery to the emperor!
Shen Yi thought that Tian Yi and Wang An would be sincerely happy, but he didn't know why Tian Yi's eyes were red and he looked like he wanted to eat people.
He is a cabinet minister, and Ping Suri also has a rotation in the cabinet, and there are actually many opportunities to see Tian Yi, and he also knows that Tian Yi is a person who is not easy to get close to, seeing that Tian Yi's face is so ugly, he thinks that he has monopolized the credit, which makes Tian Yi unhappy, so he hurriedly explained.
"The two fathers-in-law can rest assured, this is the joint decision of the first and second assistants, as well as the cabinet colleagues, not Shen's opinion, the two fathers-in-law are well aware of the righteousness and considerate of the sacred heart, and the emperor must also know it......"
This holy decree is related to the well-being of the people in the whole world, but when it comes to Shen Zheng, it has become a prop for competing for credit, such a person, who is in a high position but only knows how to drill the camp officialdom, how can people not be angry!
Although Tian Yi has long been accustomed to seeing the darkness of officialdom, the more he has seen it, the more he wants to do something for the people.
Of course, maybe he is not for the people, but he just hopes that the Ming Dynasty can be stable for a long time, and in the final analysis, it is also loyal to the royal family.
In any case, he didn't want this decree to come back, but at the moment, there was no way to do it!
He and Wang An looked at each other, but they didn't know how to deal with it for a while, delaying is not possible, because the outer side hall is the inner hall inside, and there is no chance to delay at all!
When Tian Yi and Wang An were helpless, Li Mi was also angry, maybe he and Tian Yi were not very eye-to-eye, but on the matter of abolishing the mining tax, their thoughts were the same.
As long as it is good for the people and the country, he Li Mi will support it, whether the other party is a eunuch or a palace maid, this worry about the people is commendable in this deceitful court, if it is not maintained, where will there be people like Tian Yi to come forward in the future!
It was the wound he helped Tian Yi clean, he knew very well how deep the wound was that bowl of smashing, and he knew how much courage it took to let go of decades of personal friendship and argue for a policy that was not of much benefit to him, and he knew how painful it was for Shen to come back with the holy decree!
Li Mi gritted his teeth and walked out from behind the screen!
He has experienced so many life and death crises, and has been baptized by the martial arts test, his skills are no longer what they used to be, how can a civil official like Shen always see his Li Mi's movements and figure clearly!
With a wave of his sleeves, Li Mi locked Shen Cheng up, pinched the back of his neck, and exerted his thumb and middle finger to hold his common carotid artery!
Li Mi also wanted to stun him with a hand knife in a chic manner, but this was a technical job, and if the force was too large, it would hurt the cervical vertebrae, and even cause permanent damage, and it would not be able to knock him unconscious if the force was small.
At present, this trick was studied when he and Zhao Guangling Wenshu practiced martial arts, and it was too boring to study, Zhao Guangling's family was mixed, but it has a deep origin, and it is said to be the point technique of a certain martial arts sect.
Li Mi didn't use it on Zhao Guangling, but Zhao Guangling used it on Li Mi, and Li Mi could really feel that sense of oppression.
Although he was not suffocated, his temples were swollen, his brain was ischemia, and his whole body seemed to be caught in a cloud, and he would lose consciousness after a while.
It was precisely because of his personal experience that Li Mi handled it more accurately, and the eunuchs Tian Yi and Wang An of Heizhao were also stunned.
They wanted to stop Shen from returning the holy decree, and the only helper they could think of was Li Mi, whether it was Tian Yi or Wang An, they all thought that Li Mi was a smart person and would definitely have a more appropriate way.
Who knew that Li Mi's shot was so simple and rude, and he directly wanted to strangle Shen Yiyi!
Tian Yi has martial arts, and he was about to stop it, but at this time, Shen Yiyi's eyes were bloodshot, and he fainted in an instant!
"Father-in-law Tian don't do it, Shen has always been fine." Li Mi saw that this acupoint had an effect, and he was also very satisfied.
Tian Yi made a move to stop Li Mi, but when he saw this scene at this time, he knew that it was a point method that made people faint, and he couldn't help but look at Li Mi differently.
Although Shen has always been unconscious, but trouble has also followed, although Shen has always been unbearable, but in the end, it is the cabinet assistant, and the holy decree was discussed by Zhao Zhigao and others, the first assistant, before they decided to return, how can it be solved by knocking people unconscious?
"It's too hasty......" Tian Yi glanced at Li Mi and couldn't help but shake his head.
Li Mi didn't think so, and said to Tian Yi: "Is there a way for Gonggong Tian to send the holy decree out of the palace?" ”
"It's all like this, can the holy decree still be sent out of the palace!" Tian Yi also glanced at Li Mi angrily.
Li Mi smiled and said: "I was guarding the door last night, and Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant, returned to the cabinet happily, that is to say, he, like Gonggong Tian, has long been looking forward to abolishing the mining tax law." ”
"How can this be?" Tian Yi didn't know why Li Mi wanted to mention this, and Li Mi didn't make a fuss, and continued to explain.
"Lord Shoufu has been looking forward to it day and night to get this holy decree of revocation, and he must have drafted the decree and used the seal overnight, and this has passed all night, that is to say, in fact, the holy decree has already been drafted, and the seal of the cabinet has been used, and it has almost not been issued to the division."
"The prince is right, the emperor asked us to come out, but he never mentioned the matter of recovering the holy decree, and he has already compromised in his heart."
"As long as the holy will is like this, it doesn't matter what we do, as long as Gonggong Tian can let people send the holy decree to the household department, and then discuss it with Zhao Zhigao in person, I am sure that the saint will never pursue this matter again!"
Li Mi said his whole plan, Wang An and Tian Yi also glanced at each other, but they smiled wryly.
Wang An said to Li Mi: "You don't know the emperor, let alone Shen Yiyi, how this person entered the cabinet, I and Gonggong Tian know better than anyone else, the saint can let Shen Yiyi enter the cabinet, which means that Shen Zheng must have something to make the saint value." ”
"Shen has always been attacked, the holy decree was robbed, and I and Father-in-law Tian were both present, it is impossible for the emperor not to pursue this matter!"
Li Mi also frowned when he heard Wang An say this, he still thought about the things in the court too simply.
But it is precisely because Li Mi was not polluted by this big dye vat that he was able to soberly point to the essence!
"For this holy decree, Gonggong Tian did not hesitate to contradict the emperor, almost lost his life, now it is just to send the holy decree to the household, it can be completed, the so-called Chrysostom is difficult to change, after the promulgation of the holy decree, it is impossible to withdraw it in a short time, and now it has come to this point, how can it fall short?"
Li Mi said this, Tian Yi also nodded, Li Mi saw this, so he hit the railway while it was hot.
"As for Shen always going to the emperor to make trouble, it's easy, the old imperial doctor Lu Ji and I are still taking care of the saint during this time, whether the saint's physical condition can see outsiders or not, it's up to me and Lu Ji to have the final say, just don't let Shen always see the saint."
When Tian Yi heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said to Li Mi: "It's just a matter of refusing to see him for a while, is it possible that he won't let Shen Yi see him for the rest of his life?" ”
Li Mi smiled slightly, nodded to Tian Yi and Wang Andao: "This depends on the ability of the two fathers-in-law." ”
"What are we capable of?"
"Yes, the emperor is recovering from a sudden illness and needs to be happy, how can the palace not celebrate? Second, the emperor issued a holy decree to abolish the mining tax, but the common people, literati and localities, there was nothing to say? For example, 10,000 umbrellas and the like, the local government always needs to be grateful to Dade, right? ”
"Such a thing, coupled with the imminent trial of the Wuju Palace, so many good things are waiting to come, is it not enough for the two fathers-in-law to have a lively ceremony?"
"Just get this grand ceremony up, the emperor will win the hearts of the people in the world, and he won't be hurt anymore, Shen has always been not a stupid person, he can persuade Zhao Zhigao, and Zhao Zhigao can also convince Shen Cheng in turn, the wood has become a boat, the raw rice is cooked and cooked, and he mentions the old thing of returning the holy decree, that is, he will touch the emperor's mold!"
Tian Yi and Wang An heard Li Mi's explanation, and they also looked at each other, in just a short time, Li Mi was able to come up with such an interlocking coping strategy, and took into account the advantages and disadvantages of all parties, it was reasonable and well-founded, and they couldn't find fault at all, as if they could solve the problem perfectly by doing what he did!
Tian Yi and Wang An were shocked by Li Mi's meticulous thoughts, but in Li Mi's opinion, their eyes were incredulous, and they seemed to have doubts about their plans, so Li Mi added another point.
"If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, the emperor is the king of a country, and it is common sense to worry about money all day long, this grand ceremony is also superficial work, if you can't let the emperor completely give up the mining tax, then scavenge a sum of silver for the emperor, the emperor is happy, and the problem is solved!"
Tian Yi and Wang An were even more surprised, saying that the original lifting of the mining tax was for the sake of the people, but now in order to appease the emperor, they have to loot a sum of silver, and the abolition of the mining tax is meaningless.
Li Mi had long expected that they would think like this, so he pointed to Shen Cheng on the ground at this time and said: "This person doesn't know how to get into the cabinet, but the family has a lot of money, that's for sure, if ......"
When Li Mi said this, Tian Yi and Wang An had completely understood what Li Mi meant, and they couldn't help but feel cold, this was too terrible, but it was a little pitiful for Shen Cheng.
However, thinking that Shen has always disregarded the people, only seeking the glory of the Holy Grace, and coming upside down to send back the Holy Decree, Tian Yi and Wang An are at ease.
"Okay, this matter will be handed over to the masters, and after a while, people will send the holy decree to the household department, and the grandfathers will personally go to fight with Zhao Zhigao's old man!"
Tian Yi finally made up his mind, and Li Mi was also relieved, but Tian Yi looked at Li Mi and lowered his voice again.
"If the emperor asks you to investigate the cause, it is unacceptable, even if you accept it, don't dig deeper, remember the words of the masters, it is a reward for you!"
Tian Yi's reminder made Li Mi, who was still proud of his plan just now, instantly calm down and fell into deep thought.
