Chapter 382: See Wanli in Qixiang Palace

Li Mi has not been to the Forbidden City, the basic structure of the Forbidden City in later generations is actually not much different from the Ming Dynasty, and even many palaces in it are left over from the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, the Qing Dynasty emperor lived in the palace of the Ming Dynasty emperor, but it was just renovated.

However, the name of the palace is not the same, and the three major halls such as the Taihe Hall in later generations are also called the Zhongji Hall and so on during the Wanli period.

Li Mi is going to go to the side hall next to the Taiji Hall in later generations, the emperor originally lived in the Qianqing Palace, but there was a fire, the Qianqing Palace could not live, the emperor could only live in the Taiji Palace, but it is not called the Taiji Palace at the moment, but called the Qixiang Palace, that is, the Weiyang Palace in the Yongle period.

It is no wonder that Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun scraped money everywhere to repair the palace, this Qixiang Palace is really incomparable with other palaces, after all, it is the Weiyang Palace in the Yongle period, although it has been repaired and maintained for many years, but it is old in the end.

The emperor lives in such an old palace, and it is inevitable that he will be contaminated with twilight and become depressed, and it is really a little depressing.

Li Mi also went through layers of searches to confirm that there was nothing else on his body and was innocent, so he was taken to the side hall to wait for the summons.

The great eunuch Wang An went in to report, and it didn't take long for him to come out, and he led Li Mi out of the side hall, and went around in a big circle before he came to the imperial study.

The furnishings in this imperial study are also simple, and it is not the study room that Zhu Yijun usually uses, but it is set up temporarily.

Although he has imagined it countless times, when he saw Zhu Yijun, Li Mi inevitably became nervous, after all, the man in front of him was His Majesty the Emperor who controlled the power of life and death in the entire Ming Dynasty!

His face was clear, his cheeks were sunken, he had a goatee, his eyes were a little heavy, his hair was tied in a bun, he wore a gauze scarf, he only wore a decent beige regular clothes, light and comfortable soft cloth shoes under his feet, and he didn't know what jade he was playing with, and his fingers kept rubbing.

The emperor's clothes are actually very particular, what kind of clothes to wear on any occasion, there are regulations, auspicious clothes are used for sacrifices, court clothes are used in the ceremony, regular clothes are court meetings and offices, etc., the TV wears dragon robes at every turn, which is not rigorous, not all emperors' clothes are called dragon robes, and they are not worn at any time.

Just like Zhu Yijun's clothes at this time, they are not dragon robes, but just ordinary home swallow clothes, which shows that the emperor is relatively easy-going about summoning Li Mi.

Although Wang An had told him three or four times, when Li Mi saw Zhu Yijun, he only felt that there was a gloomy aura on this man's face, as if all the troubles were biting him, and he was going through a mid-life crisis.

With such thoughts pouring out of his heart, the emperor was no longer high, but like a depressed old king next door, full of fireworks.

Thinking about it like this, Li Mi forgot to kneel down, and stared at Zhu Yijun for a long time, Zhu Yijun was also a little stunned, looking Li Mi up and down, thinking that Shi Shiyong only said that Li Mi was a young man, and he didn't expect Li Mi to be so young, let alone that such a young man would have such a pair of clear eyes.

Wang Anke panicked, Li Mi's move can be said to be rude, looking at the emperor levelly, this is worth it!

He hurriedly pulled Li Mi and gave him a fierce look, although most of the rookies who meet the saint for the first time will make a fool of themselves, and the emperor will occasionally mention it as a joke, when he thinks of the ugliness and foreign appearance of the officials, the emperor will even be happy and say some jokes with the eunuchs, but after all, it is an offense to Long Wei, where can it often be like this.

Li Mi also came to his senses, and hurriedly saluted Zhu Yijun as Wang An advised.

"Chennan Zhili asked the deputy officer, the loyal and brave lieutenant Li Mi, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor, Emperor Wan'an!"

In fact, in the orthodox Han dynasty, there are not many people who use the word emperor, and some literary works are called by the emperor at every turn, and they are also a little crying and laughing.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was called a saint or everyone, and in the Song Dynasty, he was called an official or a big official, and the name in the inner palace was even more arbitrary.

Li Mi easily did not kneel, even when he received the order, he was slowly delayed, and he was extremely repulsed by kneeling and bowing, and his luggage seemed even more stiff and clumsy, in the eyes of others, it seemed that he was born to stand, even if he knelt, his soul was straight, and it was even more uncomfortable to watch.

Zhu Yijun is so eyesighted, and he doesn't feel that the emperors in the palace are all mediocre, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty do have a lot of absurdities, but one or two are very black, Jiajing's kind of special play ministers, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military play, is even more black to the extreme.

Emperor Wanli not only inherited the fine tradition of his predecessor Jiajing who did not go to court for decades, but even inherited the attitude towards the minister of civil and military affairs perfectly.

He has seen people who are really kneeling, and he can't wait to come up to * toes, and he also kneels on the surface, and he doesn't know how many times he cursed the emperor in his heart, but he has never seen Li Mi like this, he is not disrespectful, but he really doesn't know how to kneel.

This kind of not knowing how to kneel is not unclear etiquette, as an official, and was admitted to the martial arts, Li Mi is not an illiterate old man, or a monkey, you teach him for three or five days, and you can also kneel and arch your hands, Li Mi does not know how to kneel, it is more like a temperament, not arrogance, as if it is a talent.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Li Mi is the soul of later generations, and his parents have never knelt since he was a child, except for tying his shoelaces, he rarely even half-knelt.

"Get up, it's too ugly to kneel." Zhu Yijun also shook his head and smiled, but Wang An was scared out of a cold sweat.

Li Mi was also embarrassed, and the pressure was not without it, but as soon as Zhu Yijun said this, he felt a lot closer, because Zhu Yijun spoke with a slight Huaixi accent, thinking that he should have inherited the ancestor.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a native of Fengyang, Anhui Province, and some historical materials say that he spoke official dialect on official occasions, and the head of the family would speak Huaixi native dialect, and the situation at that time could not be restored.

It's just that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have a tradition, but whenever something happens, if there is no law to follow, they must follow the ancestral system, which in the early narrow sense, specifically refers to doing things according to Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings.

Although a lot of ugly things have happened to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, they have done a very good job in inheriting traditions, and Zhu Yijun's accent is only passed down in this way.

If he was a flawless person, maybe Li Mi would be so nervous that he would be incoherent, but what he showed, at least in Li Mi's eyes, was just an ordinary person, and he was also an old Zhu next door who was experiencing a mid-life crisis.

Li Mi Xie En stood aside, Zhu Yijun was still playing with the jade in his hand, and then asked Li Mi.

"You did a good errand in Wuchang, but the secret report is not clear, so let's talk about Wuchang first."

Li Mi entered the palace for the sake of *, and asked Li Jinzhong to report it, and he also said that it was a big and important matter, but he didn't think that Zhu Yijun didn't ask, but first calculated Wuchang's account.

Fortunately, Li Mi has already imagined what may happen to the face of the saint, the matter of Wuchang is related to the king of Chu, and it is the first task after Li Mi became the commander of the famous color, he has thought of the answer, and even if he says it in 1510, there is nothing to hide.

Just as Li Mi had envisaged in Wuchang, the bloodline of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, had been raised to the political level, and if it was not done well, it would become the biggest scandal, so how to deal with it was for the emperor to make an idea, and he was just stating the facts.

After all, it is an old thing, and there are not enough scientific and technological means to be able to investigate to this extent, and no one has done a better job than Li Mi.

However, after Zhu Yijun listened, he didn't express his opinion, just nodded, and then said to Li Mi.

"You just entered Beijing, and you slipped into the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, this is not the duty of an official, as for the big things you want to report, I already know, you don't touch those things, that's what Zhou Yu wants to give to me."

"Your Majesty already knows?" Li Mi was really surprised, not pretending to be, he thought that Zhou Yu had done this matter without telling Zhu Yijun, who knew that Zhu Yijun was also an insider!

"Those things were Zhou Yu caught the red-haired devil from Java, Luzon and other places, got the news, sent a big ship to the sea, and got it after several twists and turns, Zhou Yu said that the essence of the fire of the earth, in order to reconcile the formula, it was also killed and injured by hundreds of craftsmen, and then he subdued this heaven and earth artifact, you meant it well, but if you continue to dwell on this matter, it will be a little annoying."

Li Mi didn't expect Zhu Yijun to know so much, but from his words, it could be seen that Zhou Yu rendered this thing too magical, and Zhu Yijun estimated the true power of this thing, but still didn't know much about it.

"Your Majesty, do you know that if this thing is used well, it will be enough for me to dominate the world, shock the world, and surrender to all directions?"

As soon as Li Mi said this, Zhu Yijun's brows furrowed, and Wang Anke next to him pinched a lot of sweat for Li Mi, and said in his heart, Are you kid questioning the emperor!

However, Li Mi did not change his face, and looked directly at Zhu Yijun, as if he was investigating the case and was bound to get the truth.

Zhu Yijun was really angry, and said to Li Mi: "What nonsense are you talking about, that is the alchemy secret medicine that Zhou Yu asked for to Chen Shandao Immortal Master, what does it have to do with the struggle for hegemony in the world!" ”

Although Zhu Yijun said this, the anger on his face was blazing, but Li Mi could feel that this anger was not aimed at him Li Mi, but Zhu Yijun should have found out from Li Mi's words that Zhou Yu did not tell him the truth!

Li Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Yijun's face, Zhou Yu was also bold, this incident was really hidden from Zhu Yijun, and he even falsely claimed that it was the holy medicine of alchemy!

Zhu Yijun's face was full of anger, but Li Mi had already gained insight into the inside story, so he asked him: "The minister has something, I implore Your Majesty to move, and I will know the words of the minister!" ”

As an emperor, the most taboo thing is that the courtiers do not tell the truth, he regards Zhou Yu as a confidant, but he is not completely trusted, the reason why Li Mi has become a famous commander is also to cultivate his own secret agent, Li Mi is also beautiful in Wuchang, not only has outstanding ability, but also does a good job.

I thought that Li Mi was by mistake this time and wanted to ruin his alchemy plan, but I didn't expect Li Mi to bring out such a thing, how could Zhu Yijun let it go!

He looked at Li Mi, and then said to Wang An: "Wang An, get up!" ”
