Chapter 646: The Mud Buddha also has three points of qi

Li Mi still entered the palace in the end.

The cabinet system of the Ming Empire, although it has the limitations of feudal society, but looking at the whole history, it is also a pioneering achievement, the cabinet system restricts the emperor's dictatorship, which is a relatively enlightened and even somewhat "democratic" system in feudal society.

In previous dynasties, the emperor was dictatorial, but the Ming cabinet had the authority to refute the holy decree, in order to prevent the emperor from leading the entire empire astray.

This is the dynasty of the Zhu family, but it is also the Ming Dynasty of the common people, and the prince of the East Palace is not the family background of the Zhu family, but the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise there would be no fifteen-year dispute over the national capital.

Because of Li Mi's support for Zhu Changluo, the battle for the country was finally settled, but at the same time, because of Li Mi's departure, Zhu Changxun got another opportunity.

Li Mi was born in a fast hunt, but he was never humble, although he did a lot of things, and his martial arts were more than Wenzhi, but the civil officials did not hate him.

Because if there is no Li Mi, the dispute over the national capital will not stop, without Li Mi, the mining tax will not be abolished, and without Li Mi, the current cabinet is still Zhu Geng, a mediocre and inactive person, struggling to support.

Therefore, the civil officials did not hate Li Mi, not to mention the military generals, Li Mi and Li Chengliang returned to Beijing together, and many people went to make friends with Li Mi.

First, it is because Li Chengliang is old and is about to retire, but Li Mi is raging, like the sky.

On the other hand, it is even more because Li Mi's performance on the battlefield has already convinced the military bosses, that is, Li Rusong, and he no longer has the kind of joke about Li Mi in the past.

Location determines vision, vision determines pattern, Li Mi is now in a high position, and the things he considers are more long-term.

So he decided to talk to Zhu Yijun about this problem, otherwise if Zhu Changxun was allowed to make trouble like this, the pattern that he had worked so hard to reverse would be destroyed again.

Now that the Quartet is stable, the source of chaos is inside, on Zhu Changxun's body, if this problem is not solved for a day, the Ming Dynasty will not be stable!

For the sake of this long-term peace and stability, Li Mi did not hesitate to turn himself into a mad dog Yushi who was feared by everyone in the officialdom, how could he turn a blind eye to this matter?

Today's weather is very good, the warm sun is shining, Zhu Yijun, accompanied by Tian Yi, sat on the rattan chair in the imperial garden to bask in the sun.

His spirit is very good, occasionally talking to Tian Yi about the palace maids who are renovating the flower fields in the imperial garden, and even when the palace maids pass by, he will summon them, pinch the palace maid's chin, carefully look at the youthful face and figure, comment a few words, and then reward these palace maids.

The entire inner palace also diffused a harmonious atmosphere, as if the emperor's body was better and the weather was better.

"Minister Li Mi, meet His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Li Mi, and then said to Tian Yi: "Give me a seat." ”

Tian Yi was slightly stunned, but he still asked the waiter to take a brocade and put it at the head of Zhu Yijun.

Li Mi didn't sit down, just stood aside.

Zhu Yijun shook his head and smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, from the first time you entered the palace to the present, you have always just called me His Majesty the Emperor, am I right?" ”

Li Mi thought about it, and it was true, he never called Zhu Yijun the emperor, long live the lord, etc., he always called him His Majesty the Emperor in a proper manner.

For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, this title seems too retro, and it only appears on holy decrees or other official documents.

However, Li Mi has always persevered, this is his way of being a monarch.

Because calling the emperor or long live the lord is more intimate and less courteous, the courtiers and the king should not have a personal friendship, because it will make things complicated and troublesome.

"This is a courtesy for a courtier, and there is no shortage to ......," Li Mi replied, but Zhu Yijun was not satisfied and said to Li Mi.

"I remember clearly, when you were summoned for the first time, you were so unhappy to bow down to me, you really didn't see me?"

Zhu Yijun brought up the old matter again, and Li Mi was also embarrassed, after all, Zhu Yijun was telling the truth, and Li Mi really didn't accept the etiquette of kneeling at that time.

But Li Mi decided to change this dynasty, then since he changed himself, he did not resist this way of saluting, he knelt down not to Zhu Yijun personally, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which did not insult his personality and dignity.

"Your Majesty, whether I kneel or not, my heart is loyal, it's better than someone who kneels to you, but my heart is black, right?"

Li Mi's words are a gun and a stick, why can't Zhu Yijun hear it?

Li Mi actually mustered up courage, with his current authority, it is impossible to compete with Zhu Yijun, but since he has decided to spread it out, Li Mi will not hide it.

Zhu Yijun could hear it, and he said to Li Mi: "It seems that Li Qing is very angry, so tell me, whose heart is black?" ”

Li Mi gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Yijun: "Plotting to kill my father, is it considered a black heart?" ”

Zhu Yijun's face suddenly darkened, and Tian Yi next to him couldn't help but stiffen!

Li Mi could see Zhu Yijun's cheeks moving, he was clenching his teeth, suppressing the anger in his heart!

"Li Qing, I don't understand what you're saying, if you don't have anything else, you'd better go out of the palace!"

Zhu Yijun obviously didn't want to mention this matter, but since Li Mi dared to come in, he would never return empty-handed!

"If it is a place in the market, there is no heaven and earth for the murder of my biological father, I don't bother to care, if Your Majesty is just an ordinary father, I won't care about this matter, but Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this matter cannot be left to its own!"

Zhu Yijun stood up suddenly: "You are so bold! Talking to me like that! ”

His face twitched violently, and when he said cruelly, the facial paralysis that he had used to be a little out of control seemed to be a little out of control, saliva spurted out, saliva hung on the corners of his mouth, his lips trembled constantly, and a few strands of silver and white hair scattered flew gently in the wind.

Tian Yi hurriedly hugged Zhu Yijun and said to Li Mi: "Master Li, long live Lord is going to rest, you can retire first!" ”

Tian Yi has been by Zhu Yijun's side for too long, and he knows Zhu Yijun too well, this is to give Zhu Yijun a step down, and it is also to give Li Mi a protection, if Long Yan is angry, he is still fighting on the basis of reason, but I am afraid that Li Mi's situation is also worrying.

However, Li Mi was tired of this kind of superficial effort, and the reason why he was reluctant to enter the court was because his political consciousness was too low and he didn't want to deal with this kind of deceit and intrigue.

His mind and wisdom don't want to be used in the struggle of people's hearts, and he is also tired of Zhu Yijun's capriciousness.

"Your Majesty, how my Li Mi has treated you and the court over the years, isn't Your Majesty clear?"

"After so much, Your Majesty still can't trust me, since you can't believe it, then don't use me anymore, the minister will resign and return to the field, no longer ask, if Your Majesty can trust me, then this matter can not be ignored!"

Tian Yi was also anxious when he saw Li Mi like this, isn't this adding fuel to the fire!

Zhu Yijun is a dignified emperor, where can he endure this tone: "You are arrogant and arrogant, do you want to blackmail me!" This Ming Dynasty Hall will not be able to go on without you Li Mi! ”

"I, Zhu Yijun, can't take care of my own family affairs, I can only be a puppet of the court, and I will be obedient to everything, and I will be satisfied with it only when I am satisfied!"

Li Mi also didn't let it: "This is not a family matter, this is a state matter!" Since it is a state affair, the courtiers have the right to intervene! ”

"Even if it's a state affair, it's my country! Not your country! ”

"The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light, this is not your country! It is the kingdom of the people! Li Mi was also excited, he was not very good at this kind of occasion, he wanted to say that this is your emperor's country, but it is also the people's country, but he was in a hurry, so he blurted out.

"The kingdom of the people? Not my country? Good brainy thief! "Zhu Yijun is so angry that he is going crazy!

"Tian Yi! Fork him out! Let the ministers get in for me, and cut this chaotic minister and thief to the people! ”

Tian Yi is also hesitant, after all, Li Mi is now the mainstay, the share of the country, if there is no mad dog royal history, let the two brothers Zhu Changluo fight in the nest, how can the Ming Dynasty have today's prosperity!

Li Mi was also angry, and said to Zhu Yijun: "It's okay if this ball official doesn't do it!" ”

As soon as the black gauze hat was thrown to the ground, Li Mi turned around and left angrily, leaving only the hat that bounced twice on the ground and stopped at Zhu Yijun's feet.

Zhu Yijun looked at Li Mi's back as he drifted away, sat down on the rattan chair in a dejected manner, and only after a while did he breathe down, sighed, and said, "I ...... Did I really do something wrong......"

Li Mi came out of the palace, his anger had long since disappeared, in fact, this situation was also one of the several possible situations that Li Mi expected, he had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that it would still be the worst result in the end.

Instead of being angry, he was disheartened.

He will not give up on state affairs, but at this juncture, every development of the Ming Dynasty has his Li Mi's hard work, how can he give up?

He really had the intention of coercing and childishly playing with his temper.

Because you can only lose your temper if the other person really cares about you, and if the other person sees you as a mustard, it is simply stupid to play a temper.

Li Mi also wanted to take advantage of this matter to test Zhu Yijun for the last time to see how much this emperor believed in him.

Soon after Li Mi returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the official document of the cabinet was sent down quickly, and the entire Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was about to explode, everyone was talking about it, and they were all upset about Li Mi, and after the news spread, the entire capital was not at peace!

Those flower streets and willow alleys have also cooled down, and the whole city seems to be mourning, and the movement is small.

Li Mi also stayed awake all night, after all, if this is really Zhu Yijun's attitude, then he can only love the country in another way.

Wang Hongzhi and others also came over to comfort and appease, and Lu Kun and others also had some reproach, thinking that Li Mi was too hasty in this matter, a little impulsive and bad, and even disregarded the overall situation.

Even Yuan Keli has such a hard and smelly temper, and they all think that Li Mi should not be so childish, and things in the court have always been spring breeze and rain, and they are easy to break if they are too rigid, and these truths must be clear after all.

However, Li Mi did not speak, and early the next morning, Li Mi took off his official uniform, and even took off the python robes of the Martial Arts Earl and the Right Pillar Kingdom.

The big officials and officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate gathered early, presumably they didn't sleep all night, and they couldn't help but look forward to it, and their eyes were full of reluctance, but no one dared to say anything.

Ye Xianggao and Li Tingji and Zhu Geng, holding the holy decree, were waiting at the door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and when they saw that Li Mi was wearing black clothes and white backgrounds, he was also troubled.

Li Mi bowed to the three of them, took Zhen Mi and the others, and walked out of the yamen, the street was also deserted, and even the vendors who set up stalls near the yamen in Pingsuli were gone.

Li Mi and the others walked on the lonely street, as if it was not just dawn, but that they had not woken up at night.

As we walked like this, people gradually appeared on both sides of the street, and more and more people poured out from each house.

They have ordinary people in the market, who will worry about small profits on weekdays, fight for the drainage ditch, and make trouble in order to peek at the mother-in-law next door taking a bath, and most of the market life is not good-looking.

Among them, there are also merchants who must compete with each other, literati and writers who sell their fame and reputation, secret prostitutes who are forced to sell their skin and flesh because of their lives, and officials from all over Suncheonfu and Gyeonggi.

They all held wine bowls in their hands, and their eyes moved with Li Mi, although the children were ignorant and didn't know what was going on, but their eyes were full of curiosity, and they didn't know why their parents were crying for a stranger.

Seeing this, Li Mi couldn't help it after all, and his eyes moistened.
