Chapter 199: Drinking and Talking Knows the True Meaning
Objectively speaking, Zhou Yu took Qi Changkong away from the workhouse, causing Jiang Bi to lose his official position as the commander of Jiading County, which really ruined Jiang Bi's future, but the facts are as Jiang Bi himself said, because he lost his official position, he avoided the demon book case, otherwise he was afraid that he would be sent to a poor countryside like Fan Yuheng of Quanjiao County.
What Zhou Yu said was not unreasonable, because Jiang Bi knew that this was a very likely occurrence, if he did not lose his official position, with his attitude of obedience to his wife, he would most likely agree to his wife's request and write a letter to defend Fan Yuheng, so it was also foreseeable to be involved in the demon book case.
However, Zhou Yu harmed himself in the front, and the demon book case happened later, how could he know that there was a demon book case?
In other words, Zhou Yu was just crooked, he always wanted to take the child away, and he didn't have the slightest idea of avoiding disaster for Jiang Bi.
Jiang Bi was clear, and sneered: "I lost my official position first, and the demon book case came later, either you really have the ability to predict the future, or you are a random fool who deceived me." ”
Zhou Yu smiled, leaned closer, and lowered his voice to Jiang Bi and Li Mi: "Although Fan Yuheng and Dai Shiheng have been exiled, everyone knows that they are not the authors of the demon book, let alone the person who spread it, haven't you ever thought about who passed on the demon book?" ”
When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, although the demon book case has been settled, the culprit has still not been found, this is an indisputable fact, could it be that the Heroes Association planned all this!
If this is the case, Zhou Yu must know the specific time of the demon book case, and he doesn't think it's an unpredictable prophet, he doesn't need divination to know it at all, because the whole thing is handled by the heroes!
However, Li Mi is also very cautious, the demon book case is very involved, the first demon book case has been temporarily closed, but the second will be set off soon!
If it was in the past, Li Mi said that he would try to avoid these topics, but Li Mi had already made up his mind that these major cases related to the court battle and the fate of the Ming Dynasty must be in the hands of his Li Mi!
So at this time, Li Mi also had to pay attention, and he needed to consider this possibility, who was the culprit of the demon book case, and the historiography has not yet been determined, could it be that it was really done by the Heroes Club?
So Li Mi shook his head and said, "Even if the demon book case is the work of you, why do you care about such a small magistrate as Brother Jiang Bixian?" It is true that he lost his official position, but there is nothing that allows him to avoid trouble. ”
Zhou Yu saw that Li Mi was so negative, although he was angry, he didn't have a seizure, after all, he also noticed that his emotions were becoming more and more susceptible to Li Mi's influence, so when he confronted Li Mi, he also hoped to be able to restrain his anger.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was silent, Li Mi shook his head again and said: "It's still not right, you control the civil forces, and Su Xi has never interfered in the court, how can you set off this mystery case, the demon book case is not framed by you at all!" ”
Zhou Yu couldn't help it this time, and said to Li Mi: "I guess you have also looked for Lu Kun, didn't the old man tell you?" He is a victim of the Demon Book Case, it can be said that without his Boudoir Fan book, there would be no later Demon Book Case, and he is an insider of the Heroes Society, haven't you thought about what connection there is here? ”
Zhou Yu reminded him like this, Li Mi inevitably thought that it was true that Lu Kun knew the inside story of the Qunying Society, could it be said that Zhou Yu and the others used the demon book case to blackmail Lu Kun because Lu Kun knew the secrets of the Qunying Society?
But Li Mi seemed to be used to it, and no longer followed Zhou Yu's train of thought to think about the problem, so he said to Zhou Yu at this time.
"Not only have I seen Lu Kun, but I also encountered Cheng Yu, the king of the people, with the style of Er, it is more convenient and faster to kill Lu Kun, so why bother with the demon book case?"
Zhou Yu also smiled and said to Li Mi: "Yes, your brain is quite fast, and you haven't been busy in vain during this time, and you have learned a lot about my group of heroes, but I really tell you, self-righteous people are often stupid, and they feel that they already know too much, but in fact, they don't know anything at all!" ”
Zhou Yu paused, then held back a smile, looked directly at Li Mi and said, "Think about it again?" ”
Li Mi raised his hand and took a sip of wine, but he didn't care and said: "I think about what I do, I'm a little fast, what does the demon book case have to do with me!" ”
Although he said so, Li Mi's mind still flew and he thought about the joints thoroughly.
The reason why the demon book case fermented was nothing more than because it involved the matter of the emperor's establishment of the prince.
From the standpoint of the prince, almost all the civil and military officials are on the united front, especially the civil officials, who insist that the eldest and youngest are orderly, and the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, should be appointed as the crown prince.
His Majesty the Emperor is very fond of Concubine Zheng and wants to follow Concubine Zheng's wishes and appoint Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, as the crown prince.
It is said that Concubine Zheng also took advantage of the drunkenness of His Majesty the Emperor to ask His Majesty the Emperor to write a letter of guarantee, promising that Zhu Changxun would be appointed as the crown prince in the future!
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all very individual, such as Emperor Jiajing, at first he did not ignore government affairs because of superstitious cultivation and alchemy, but because he was angry with the ministers!
Yes, it's just angry!
The emperor's grievances and entanglements with civil and military officials were also doomed from the beginning.
Ming Wuzong failed to give birth to an heir, and after his death, the queen mother and the civil and military discussed to let Wuzong's cousin, Zhu Houxi, the son of King Xingxian, inherit the throne in accordance with the ancestral system of "brother to brother and brother", and change the name to Jiajing, which is Emperor Jiajing.
After Jiajing became the emperor, he soon discovered a problem, he was the cousin of Emperor Wuzong, but he needed to respect Ming Xiaozong as his father, that is, the imperial examination, and for his biological father, he could only change his name to uncle!
Because the civil and military officials headed by the famous minister Yang Tinghe hoped to turn the cousin relationship between Wuzong and Jiajing into a brotherly relationship, only in this way can the succession to the throne be considered orthodox and justified.
But Jiajing also has his own difficulties, changing his words to respect his uncle as the emperor, but his biological father can only be called uncle, which is very unfilial in ancient times, and unfilial piety is a moral sin, not to mention the emperor!
This historical so-called "Great Rites Discussion" lasted for three or four years, although Emperor Jiajing won in the end, but Liang Zi with the civil and military officials was settled, so he hid in the inner palace and played hide and seek with the civil and military officials.
Although he doesn't go to court, it doesn't mean that he doesn't do things, in fact, Emperor Jiajing is a very smart and black-bellied emperor, often hiding in the dark, the courtiers are so anxious that they scratch their ears and cheeks, and they are so busy that they are smiling and watching the excitement.
And the same is true of Emperor Wanli, the reason why he did not go to court was also because he was angry with the civil and military officials, but the anger was because of the dispute over the country.
From the point of view of social development, this is a good thing, because the emperor cannot do whatever he wants without lawlessness, and the courtiers have the ability to bind the emperor, which is an advantage that other dynasties cannot match.
The political system of the Ming Dynasty may also have many shortcomings, but in this regard, it is very progressive.
Gossip also rambles on the fact that the reason why Li Mi thought of these things was just to think about the meaning behind the demon book case, which was based on the disagreement between the Wanli Emperor and the courtiers on the matter of the prince.
The demon book case completely magnified this kind of difference, and with the fermentation of the two demon book cases, the dispute over the national capital also intensified.
If the Demon Book Case was initiated by the Heroes, then what is the purpose of the Heroes?
In this case, it is nothing more than choosing a side, either supporting the civil and military officials, supporting Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, or choosing to stand on the side of His Majesty the Emperor.
Which side the Heroes Club is on, Li Mi doesn't need to think deeply to know, and he finally understands why Emperor Wanli wants to summon Zhou Yu!
Although Li Mi pretended to be calm, a bite of food stopped at his mouth after all, and Zhou Yu saw this, so he said to Li Mi.
"Looks like you've figured it out after all."
Yes, Li Mi finally figured it out, Emperor Wanli summoned Zhou Yu to choose the help of the Heroes Association, hoping to make the Fu King Zhu Changxun the crown prince.
Li Mi not only figured this out, he even knew very well that it would be Zhu Changluo who would win in the end, and Zhu Changluo became the emperor in just 20 days, and he died violently because of the Red Pill case.
Although the military officials in the court are not all good people, it is not unreasonable for so many people to oppose Zhu Changxun as the prince, and the most direct point of view, at least it can show that Zhu Changxun does not meet the expectations of the current ministers.
In other words, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun will not be a good emperor in the eyes of civil and military officials.
Because Zhu Changluo was born to Emperor Wanli on impulse and fortunately to the palace maid, Emperor Wanli even denied it for a time and did not recognize this illegitimate child, so Zhu Changluo was trembling and had been snubbed for many years.
This kind of identity is not very serious in the eyes of the courtiers, after all, Zhu Changxun, the king of human welfare, was born to His Majesty the Emperor and Concubine Zheng Guifei, but Zhu Changluo's mother is just a lowly palace maid, and few people even know what her surname is.
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Shengci's constant maintenance and care, it would still be a question whether Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, could grow up safely.
Therefore, Li Mi didn't care as much about who would be the prince as he imagined, but if Qunying would be involved, he would have to pay attention.
Looking at Zhou Yu, who was a little proud, Li Mi finally stuffed the food on the chopsticks into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
"I did figure it out, but I also said it, I'm just a small person, and the fairy fight has nothing to do with me."
Speaking of this, Li Mi said to Zhou Yu again: "And there is a question that I don't understand very well, why can't you let me go?" I just want to be a fast catcher, investigate the case with peace of mind, a mediocre life, and it won't block your path, why can't you raise your noble hand? ”
Li Mi said this not to show weakness and beg for mercy, but to be truly confused.
Although this was not the intention, Zhou Yu still sounded very comfortable, after all, Li Mi was no longer so hard-hearted.
The Metropolitan Governor shook his head, looking very serious, and then said to Li Mi: "You are indeed just a small person now, but you and I both know in our hearts that people like you are the chosen one, that is, you are content with the status quo, do not look for trouble, and trouble will come back to you." ”
Li Mi heard Zhou Yu like this, more like some strong words, and immediately became angry, if he didn't play his cards according to common sense, Li Mi simply spread out and asked directly.
"Even so, I'll tell you, you'd better kill me right away, or I'll defeat you and destroy the Heroes sooner or later!"
As soon as Li Mi said this, Zhou Yu also squinted his eyes slightly, forced to look at Li Mi and said, "Do you really think that I won't kill you?" ”
Jiang Bi on the side felt the murderous aura disperse, and the hand holding the cup trembled!
