Chapter 638: The Pillar State Takes Over the Stall
Hearing that Suo Changsheng and Emmanuel had been locked up for two or three years, Li Mi's eyes immediately turned cold, and everyone in the dormitory stood up like cats with their tails stepped on.
Lu Jiamao clenched his fists slightly, and unconsciously moved half a step forward, as if he was worried that Li Mi would kill everyone here at any time!
Li Mi didn't know how many lives and deaths he had experienced along the way, especially the experience in the black prison, which sharpened his temperament and made him more deterrent, and these people became nervous.
However, Li Mi finally calmed down, and said patiently to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, if you don't let me ask about this matter, I won't ask, if you are willing to let me ask, please nod." β
After Zhu Yijun suffered a stroke, he couldn't speak, and because of facial paralysis, he really didn't have any expression, but his eyes were very accurate, and he nodded with difficulty at this time, raised his hand, and took off the black gold dragon ring on the tail finger of his right hand tremblingly.
Li Mi hurriedly knelt down and took the dragon ring with both hands, Zhu Yijun pulled the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it after all, but everyone present could see what it meant!
Wei Zhongxian was also clever, and he had already pulled Zhu Geng, who was waiting on the side, closer to him, and reminded Zhu Geng in a low voice: "You can see what the emperor means!" β
Zhu Geng is an honest man, how honest is he?
Let's put it this way, he is already the first assistant, and there is nothing he can do if he is not the first assistant, because he is the only auxiliary minister left in the entire cabinet, and all the others are appointed or deposed.
He doesn't have Shen Li's integrity and sharpness, he doesn't have the sleek sophistication of Shen Cheng and others, he is an honest man who has worked all his life to enter the cabinet, and he has been in the cabinet for so long, he hasn't seen Zhu Yijun in two or three years!
Yes, as the first assistant minister, he hasn't been able to see Zhu Yijun for three years!
In the past three years, because of Li Mi's absence, Zhu Yijun has been in bed again, the prince of the East Palace is in charge of the country, acting for state affairs, this first assistant has not been able to see Zhu Yijun, let alone other ministers.
Zhu Geng is already very old, and he has been honest all his life, he didn't use power tricks or go through the bloody wind of party struggle to climb up, so the others were kicked out of the cabinet, but he stayed until the end.
At this time, when he saw Zhu Yijun's situation, he realized that if he continued like this, the emperor would most likely die in his cabinet!
If it is someone else, you have to be so happy that you can't do it, because if the emperor dies, he is the minister who cares about his life, whether he supports Zhu Changluo or Zhu Changxun, he is a veteran, and he is above 10,000 people under one person.
However, Zhu Geng is afraid of things, he just wants to spend his last days honestly, if it weren't for his resignation, he would have gone home to retire!
At this time, seeing that Zhu Yijun handed over his black gold dragon ring to Li Mi, and got Wei Zhongxian's reminder, Zhu Geng finally became bold!
He trembled and walked to the front, and asked Zhu Yijun for instructions: "The minister Zhu Geng is brave enough to ask Li Mi, the Earl of Wugong, to serve as the imperial history of the left capital, to assist in internal and external affairs, and to implore the Holy Judge!" β
Du Yushi is the prefect of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who is responsible for correcting hundreds of officials, identifying wrongs, and supervising all provinces, and is the division of the Son of Heaven's ears, eyes, and discipline.
At present, the court is in a miasma, and if Li Mi serves as the imperial history of the left capital, he will inevitably cleanse the obscurity and reorganize the dynasty!
After all, Li Mi was a military attachΓ©, and if he was allowed to join the cabinet, it would be unreasonable, because the cabinet would have too many restrictions, and he would not be able to give full play to Li Mi's talents, and his strength would not be in the right place.
But the Metropolitan Procuratorate is different, Li Mi has made a name for himself by virtue of his criminal name, and he has also served as the deputy director of the Question and Dali Temple earlier, and it is reasonable to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
However, the imperial history of Zuodu is the official position of the second grade, and it can be said that it is already comparable to the three princes and nine kings, if it is two or three years ago, Li Mi may not be qualified.
However, Li Mi broke Japan's military conspiracy, cut off Korea's rebellious thoughts, and cut off the future of Nu'er Hachi in the border areas.
Although Zhu Geng is honest, it doesn't mean that he is a fool, only the position of Zuodu Yushi can make Li Mi play the greatest role!
Moreover, if Li Mi wants to release Suo Changsheng and Ermanuer and others, he must turn over old cases, and only the Metropolitan Procuratorate is qualified to go to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to go to the old bottom.
Zhu Geng is also desperate, after all, Zhu Yijun was originally a suspicious and suspicious master, and now he is weak, and he is most afraid that someone will steal the country.
However, it turns out that Zhu Yijun handed over his black gold dragon ring to Li Mi, and he was not confused.
But seeing that Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said four words with difficulty, which were the only four words he said tonight!
"Right...... Right ......"
Zhu Geng's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "What does the Holy Lord mean about the imperial history of the right capital?" β
There are two members of the imperial history, it is said that the status of the left imperial history is higher than that of the right imperial history, Zhu Yijun asked Li Mi to be a right imperial history, and he didn't want Li Mi to be a very popular minister.
At least Zhu Geng and others think so, maybe Zhu Yijun is also for the sake of safety, but with Li Mi coming out to preside over the overall situation, it can be regarded as a big stone in his heart.
After all, now that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, there is no one who can really stand up and preside over the overall situation, Shen Li and others are disheartened, or they are dumping each other, after leaving the court, the party is in turmoil, and there is no one who can make a final decision on the surface.
Although Zhu Changluo is in charge of the country, the power of the blessed king Zhu Changxun is too great, and the two are competing, and many things cannot be implemented at all, but whatever Zhu Changluo puts forward, it will become the target of Zhu Changxun's attack.
Some people may think that since Zhu Changluo is the prince of the prison state, his authority cannot be provoked, Zhu Changxun is a vassal king in the end, and he also forcibly stays in the Beijing division of the domain, and his name is not right, and he interferes in the government without authorization, which is an act of arrogance and should be punished.
However, Zhu Yijun is seriously ill, and Zheng Guifei is almost in charge of the affairs of the inner palace, so in many political affairs, Zheng Guifei will be involved in internal affairs, and the name of the strong faction will be able to intervene in this way.
In addition to this, there are a total of thirty-one people in the six departments and nine qing, and twenty-four of them have stopped working, leaving only Zhu Geng, an honest man, who deals with thousands of movements, and the entire court can no longer be described as a mess!
Don't talk about anything else, just say that after Shen Li and others left the cabinet, some people proposed to let Li Tingji enter the cabinet, but the Donglin Party members objected, Li Tingji is a very capable person, he saw through the bad things in the court, and even wrote more than 120 letters, how he didn't want to come to work, and it is conceivable what the government affairs are rotten.
As I said earlier, the Ming official system is actually a very powerful political system, even if the emperor is the shopkeeper, the officials can still make the empire run normally.
But now even the officials have begun to rot, and if this continues, the state apparatus will collapse!
Therefore, Li Mi served as the imperial history of the capital at this time, and everyone could be regarded as having the backbone, even if Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun were still fighting, at least with Li Mi as the referee, it would not make them make too much trouble.
Zhu Geng was about to thank him and go out to make it, but he heard Zhu Yijun spit out the remaining two words: "Pillar...... Country......! β
"What? Pillar Country? β
"Pillar Country...... Pillar ...... Right...... Right Pillar Country! β
Not only Zhu Geng, but even those big eunuchs were also taken aback, thinking that Zhu Yijun would let Li Mi be the imperial history of the right capital in order to be safe, who knew that Zhu Yijun was not against Li Mi as the imperial history of the left capital, but also sealed Li Mi as a right pillar country!
The Ming Dynasty did have the best lords of the left and right pillar countries, which was the honorary title of Zhengyipin, and even Xu Da, the founding hero, only sealed the left pillar country!
Of course, the only one in the history of the Ming Dynasty who was awarded the title of Shangzhu State during his lifetime was Xia Yan, but the later ending was also seen, and he was finally executed, which did not end well, and the super title of Shangzhu State was also specially awarded by Sejong.
After Zhang Juzheng's death, the Wanli Emperor also posthumously named him the Shangzhu State, and it didn't take long for him to start copying Zhang Juzheng's home.
Even a traitor like Yan Song would not dare to put a hat like Zhuguo on his head.
Li Mi has always established a lot of martial arts, so although Zhu Yijun gave him a lord of the Right Pillar Kingdom, it was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
If you want Li Mizhen to be a civil and military official, you must first improve his status, otherwise even if he serves as the imperial history of the left capital, his foundation is still a little shallow.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a few people who were awarded the Pillar Kingdom during their lifetimes, so it is no wonder that everyone was so surprised!
However, Zhu Yijun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Li Mi with anticipation in his eyes, as if he wanted to tell Li Mi that whether the Ming Dynasty could regain its strength or not depended on him Li Mi!
Li Mi also smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't know anything about government affairs, it was good for him to serve as the imperial history of the left capital, at least he could rescue Suo Changsheng and others first, as long as Suo Changsheng came out and rescued Zhu Yijun, at least he could speak, and he would be relaxed.
Thinking like this, Li Mi also hurriedly knelt down to thank him, seeing that Zhu Yijun was also tired, Tian Yi asked two words in Zhu Yijun's ear, and Zhu Yijun nodded, and said to Li Mi.
"Congratulations to Master Li, but the master is tired, so you should thank you and retire."
Li Mi was grateful, but he didn't know when he would be able to enter the palace again, and since he had already taken over the stall, he didn't want to trouble the second trip, so he said to Zhu Yijun.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Ge is old after all, he has to find a helper for him, the minister suggested that Ye Xianggao from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites should be allowed to enter the cabinet, what does Your Majesty think?"
Ye Xianggao is a capable person, and it is recorded in the history books that he is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties, but Li Mi has not read many history books, but when he first interacted with Shen Li, he also had a good relationship with Ye Xianggao, and knew that Ye Xianggao was a very good official.
Ye Xianggao is simply a waste of talent in Nanjing, it is better to let him enter the cabinet to participate in political affairs.
Zhu Geng had long wanted to leave it alone, and when he saw Li Mi say this, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he said that he had the courage to apply for an official position for Li Mi, and Li Mi gave him the benefits in the blink of an eye, and it was really efficient!
Tian Yi was already helping Zhu Yijun lie down, Zhu Yijun listened to Li Mi's suggestion, and just pointed to the black gold dragon ring on Li Mi's hand, and the meaning was clear, as if to say, you can make up your own mind about this kind of thing.
But after all, Zhu Yijun didn't speak, and if he didn't speak, it wouldn't be justified, but considering Zhu Yijun's situation, Li Mi could only compromise, and said to Zhu Yijun cheekily at this time.
"Okay, the minister will do his errand according to His Majesty's will."
In this way, Li Mi is thanksgiving retreated, but when he saw Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun outside, Li Mi became bitter.
Suo Changsheng and the others were locked up, and he didn't know whose hands the inner factory was in now, and what about the forces such as the new camp of the gods, if it was just with the aura of a right-pillar country, it could only make the civil and military officials who fought with each other in the court crushed into scum!
Therefore, it is imperative to find back your own strength, and only when you have real power in your hands can you do whatever you want!
