Chapter 548: Jane Breaks the Dragon Banner in the Emperor's Heart
Li Mi didn't expect that it would be Luo Gu on duty, and he had a reason to send Concubine Wang Gong back to Chuxiu Palace, so he finally sent Sasuke and Suo Changsheng in.
However, Li Mi was not easy in his heart, after all, martial law in the palace, whether Sarufei Sasuke and Suo Changsheng could find out the truth remains to be said.
With apprehension, Li Mi finally returned to Ciqing Palace, Jinyiwei and the people from Dongchang were still there, and the commander was also relieved to see Li Mi come back.
It is the first time that the foreign minister has been blocked in the Ciqing Palace, and it is also Zhu Changluo who has just settled in the East Palace for more than half a year, even if there is no danger in the end, but the impact of this kind of thing is very bad.
Li Mi really didn't understand, could it be that Zhu Changluo worked so hard in Liaodong, and he couldn't even match Zhu Yijun's love for Zhu Changxun?
Some people will say that the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all meat, but the flesh of the palms is thicker than the flesh of the backs of the hands, and when the fists are clenched, the palms are warm and inside, while the backs of the hands are outside, they are cold, the palms are protected, and the backs of the hands are protected.
Li Mi can actually speculate about Zhu Yijun's psychological state from this, and his views are different from others.
In Li Mi's opinion, it is true that Zhu Yijun doesn't like Zhu Changluo, because he impulsively came to Concubine Wang Gong, which is an ugly thing, and Concubine Wang Gongfei was the palace maid of Empress Dowager Li when she was young.
Zhu Yijun is a person with strong self-esteem, how could he see this kind of thing happen, so he hated Concubine Wang Gong.
Many people say that Emperor Wanli is the laziest emperor, but in fact, in Li Mi's view, Emperor Wanli is not only lazy, but also a person who is keen on power!
Some people say that he is the most greedy for money, but he wants money because he realizes the relationship between money and power, and what he ultimately desires is power, supreme power, power that cannot be resisted, and power that controls the world!
However, since he ascended the throne, he has not been able to achieve it, first Zhang Juzheng regarded him as a child, controlled the government for more than ten years, and was liquidated after Zhang Juzheng's death, which is a kind of venting and celebration of Zhu Yijun's power!
And Concubine Wang Gong's pregnancy with Zhu Changluo was also beyond his control, putting him in an embarrassing situation where he couldn't control the situation, he didn't like things to be out of his control, not so much that he hated Concubine Wang Gongluo because he felt humiliated, but that he couldn't control Concubine Wang Gong's pregnancy.
Later, Empress Dowager Li forced him to admit the identities of Zhu Changluo and Concubine Wang Gong, and also forced him to make a choice, so that he could not make his own decisions.
And in the battle for the country, he wants to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince, in Li Mi's opinion, it is not even because of how much he loves Zhu Changxun, but because he can't even love which son he loves more, not how much he loves Zhu Changxun, but that he hates these court officials!
He is a high emperor, and the whole world is his, but he can't decide which concubine to love more, which son to love more, and which son can be the prince, this matter is out of his control, which is his sore spot!
Although Emperor Taizu has the rule of "having a grandson, not having a grandson, not treating the heir, and not being crowned with the son", Zhu Yijun has never been a person who follows the rules.
After thinking about this, Li Mi knew that Zhu Yijun didn't care who was the prince at all, what he cared about was the attitude of the civil and military officials, what he wanted was not how obedient Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun were, what he wanted was that the civil and military officials should be obedient!
The particularity of the official position of the Ming Dynasty enabled officials to supervise and contain each other, but it also made the authority of officials too great, and even had the ability to confront the emperor.
And Zhu Yijun, this emperor who is a little lame and has a little difficulty walking, he wants to challenge these rules, he wants to break these, he doesn't want to be a faint monarch, he wants to be an emperor like Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu, who can give orders and respect himself, not a puppet of civil and military officials!
From this point of view, Zhu Yijun is not only not a faint king, but also very ambitious, some people say that Wanli Zhongxing is Zhang Juzheng's credit, but after Zhang Juzheng's death, there is also the victory of Wanli's three major campaigns, the victory of these three major battles, it is really Zhu Yijun's achievements!
This is something in the bones of the old Zhu family, how can it not be changed, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of losing control, so he killed the heroes, Chengzu Zhu Di was afraid of losing control, even if Emperor Hui Zhu Yunwen had disappeared, he still sent people to look around, Jiajing hid in the deep palace, but he was the first in the dark, and he played the civil and military officials around.
In the end, these emperors of the old Zhu family may have greedy for fun, some of them have great achievements, and some of them are dark and dark, but they have never forgotten one thing, and it is also the most fundamental thing, that is, the world is my old Zhu family, no matter how it changes, the ministers cannot be allowed to point fingers at the emperor!
What is ridiculous is that historical researchers are touting how good the Ming officials are, their status is the pinnacle of feudal society, and how they can refute the emperor's holy decree, how awesome they are, but they forget that these officials have never ended well, not a single one!
Zhu Yuanzhang was born a poor child, so he hated officials, so he was not soft on corrupt officials, he created the bloodiest punishment system, peeled the officials and filled the grass, and put them in the leather temple to set an example.
He is a poor child, his children and grandchildren, they are all poor children in their bones, he hates officials, and his children and grandchildren also hate officials, but they are not skinning.
Li Mi figured this out, and finally knew Zhu Yijun's intentions, he didn't actually want to target Zhu Changluo, he just wanted these officials to completely surrender, if they didn't surrender to Lao Tzu, they would keep making trouble, and one day they would make you dare not let a fart go!
People often say that Jane is in the emperor's heart, and in the final analysis, it depends on the emperor's mood, this is the essence of feudal society, after seeing through this essence, Li Mi suddenly found that he was not very worried.
Regardless of whether Sarufei Sasuke and Suo Changsheng found out the truth or not, Li Mi was no longer worried.
In Ciqing Palace, whether it was Wang Hongzhi or Lu Kun, whether it was Yuan Keli or Jiang Bi, they were restless one by one, and when they saw Li Mi coming back, they hurriedly asked for details, but Li Mi only sent away a few words.
Zhu Changluo couldn't fall asleep, the people in Zhan Shifu didn't dare to sleep in the palace, and the others kept paying attention to the Jinyi guards outside, for fear that they would suddenly rush in.
Li Mi leaned on Zhen Mi's long legs and slept beautifully until dawn.
The night's restlessness made Zhu Changluo mentally sleepy, sluggish, and worried, as if he had returned to the countless days and nights when he was hiding in the deep palace and unable to control his fate.
But Li Mi didn't feel worried, but felt lucky, maybe Zhu Changluo was experiencing Zhu Yijun's experience, only by experiencing these can the imprint in the blood of the old Zhu family be stimulated, only if he can't experience the taste of not being able to control his fate, he will hold the world tightly in his hands after ascending the throne, just like his father Zhu Yijun, the traditions of the old Zhu family, aren't they all passed down like this?
So Li Mi felt at ease, and ordered to go down, freshen up when you should freshen up, and eat breakfast when you should have breakfast, but apart from him, who has this mood?
Zhu Changluo couldn't sit still, and had already come to inquire about countermeasures more than once, and asked Li Mi impatiently: "Sir, how should this be...... What am I going to do? ”
After Li Mi finished eating slowly, he said to Zhu Changluo: "Okay, let's go." ”
Zhu Changluo was confused: "Go?" Where to go? ”
"Enter the palace and ask the emperor to go."
Zhu Changluo was taken aback, at this time, he didn't dare to take the initiative to touch the mold!
He returned to the state of hiding in the deep palace, becoming cowardly, even Baba, could no longer give him courage, as if everything was just a bubble in the sun, so fragile that Zhu Yijun breathed heavier, this bubble would be completely shattered.
He would rather hide in the Ciqing Palace, waiting for fate to drive him, than kill himself!
However, Li Mi's eyes were firm and confident, and he said to Zhu Changluo: "Your Highness, even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in me." ”
Zhu Changluo remembered how Li Mi pulled his mother and son step by step, and finally gritted his teeth and said to Li Mi: "Sir, wait a minute, wait for me to freshen up and tidy up my manners." ”
Li Mi shook his head: "No need, the emperor doesn't care about this, come with me." ”
Zhu Changluo seemed to listen to the great monk playing a sharp game, and he understood the words of Li Mi but did not understand the deep meaning, but since he chose to believe Li Mi, he no longer hesitated.
Zhen Mi stayed outside the door early, but Li Mi said to her: "No need, you all stay today, and I will go with Wang Lao." ”
Zhen Mi knew that Li Mi's legs had actually healed, and when she heard this, she inevitably had to worry, Li Mi didn't need them to push the wheelchair, didn't she have to hide it in the future?
Li Mi looked at Zhen Mi, understood her concern, and said to her, "Take that flag down." ”
The flag that Li Mi said was naturally not the dragon flag he desperately guarded on the Korean battlefield.
The dragon flag was in the hands of Li Rusong, and Li Rusong presented it to Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun in order to commend Li Mi's merits, Zhu Yijun asked the Ministry of Rites to make a special imperial flag, gave it to Li Mi, and kept it in Li Mi's study.
Zhen Mi found the imperial flag, but Li Mi asked her to put the flag away, remove the flagpole, use the flagpole as a crutch, pretend to support her body with difficulty, and slowly stood up!
The flagpole is a heavy golden silk nanmu, and the two ends are inlaid with gold beads and silver rings, and after the flag is removed, it really can't be seen as a flagpole.
Li Mi used the flagpole as a crutch, walked slowly in the courtyard a few times, and after getting used to it, he said to Zhu Changluo.
"Your Highness, Elder Wang, let's go."
No one knows what happened last night, but everyone knows what will happen next.
When Zhu Changluo encountered the first crisis since he entered the East Palace, and it was very likely that he would lose all the crises, Li Mi stood up from his wheelchair, used the flagpole symbolizing all his merits as a crutch, and walked out of the East Palace with this prince who had turned back into the deep palace in a panic!
Maybe many years later, everyone will forget today's crisis, forget the panic of hiding in Ciqing Palace and not daring to sleep, but Li Mi, who has a frosty flower, trembling and holding the flagpole, with the cowardly crown prince, walks to Qixiang Palace This scene is just like Li Mi carrying the dragon flag and fighting bloodily, it will be remembered by everyone and will never be forgotten.
