213 How to meet him
The seat of the highest authority of the Ming Empire is the Jingshi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And the large and small official offices in the capital and the yamen, the highest authority is naturally the Forbidden City, which is like the pearl of the empire. This city within a city embodies the pinnacle of power in the world, and all of these powers are theoretically attributed to one person - the emperor of the Ming Empire!
Passing through the outermost Daimyo Gate of the Forbidden City of the Ming Empire, and passing through the long streets, you can see the Chengtian Gate. The vermilion gate, the real gate of the Forbidden City, is inlaid with decorative gold nails, and after passing through this gate, you will pass through the so-called end gate, and go straight forward to the so-called noon gate.
Behind the noon gate, there is the Huangji Gate, and walking in here is even if you have entered the core of the power of the Ming Empire. There are thousands of bureaucrats in the entire empire, but there are still only a handful of people who are qualified to enter this imperial gate. If you can bow down and walk through here at the court meeting, you can say a word to the outside world with peace of mind.
Behind this gate, is the palace that people envy and worship, I heard that the British Empire Empress who defeated the Ming Empire expeditionary force, after hearing about the magnificence of the Ming Dynasty, I have always hoped that I can have a residence and office comparable to this palace...... It is a pity that more than 150 years after her death, Britain still does not have the ability to build such a splendid and huge complex.
In this huge and elegant palace, it is the Imperial Palace used by the Ming Empire when there were great celebrations. When designing this palace, countless skilled craftsmen of the Ming Empire worked together, and even considered the fields of acoustic transmission, and built this hall that could make every corner of the hall hear the emperor without a loudspeaker.
Continue to extend backwards, through the Huangji Hall is the Zhongji Palace, behind the Zhongji Hall is the Ming Empire's military supreme command center Jianji Palace, and then behind, it is the sleeping palace set by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, the Qianqing Palace. This is the sleeping palace of most emperors of the Ming Empire, except for a few rebellious people who are unwilling to lie here, including the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this is the place where His Majesty the Emperor sleeps.
In order to show the wealth of the Ming Empire, and to satisfy His Majesty the Emperor's love for this dormitory, almost everything here has a history and is extremely valuable. There was once a joke that if the emperor of the Ming Empire was angry and threw something in the palace, the person who made His Majesty the emperor angry must have one of the charges of "destroying national treasures" in the end.
"Whoa!" In the bedroom of the emperor of Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhu Mu dropped a white porcelain bowl in his hand on the ground at his feet, and this crisp sound made the palace maids and attendants who served His Majesty Zhu Mu in the distance tremble, because the porcelain bowl was the best official kiln that His Majesty Emperor Wanli liked that year. If this is put on the market and shouted casually, it is enough for countless people to wake up with a smile in their dreams.
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor summoned the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Li Ke, to guard Lord Li, and drove away all the palace maids and attendants who were on duty in the Qianqing Palace. The two of them didn't talk loudly, but the crisp sound of smashing the cup just now made everyone tremble.
Standing in front of His Majesty the Emperor, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Li Keshou bowed his head and was silent, as if he didn't even have the intention of justifying, he just stood silently, waiting for Zhu Mu to vent the anger in his heart.
"He's the one who killed for me! He's doing something for the whole empire! He's wiping your ass for your bunch of rice buckets! Zhu Mu said three words in a row in a row, and this word only represents one person in this conversation. As he spoke, Zhu Mu stared at Li Keshou, who bowed his head and was silent, as if he wanted to devour this commander alive.
Although when he said this, Zhu Mu wanted to raise his feet countless times and kick over and kick the Jinyi Guard commander who was standing there to the ground, but he still resisted this impulse. The reason is very simple, although the other party is disobeying his orders, he is also protecting him, the emperor.
"He's just working on the promise between me and him! Everything he does, he fights for this empire! I'm fighting for my empire! After repeating what he had just said countless times, Zhu Mu's speech slowed down because of his anger. He gritted his teeth and said to Li Keshou word by word: "I, life, order, you!" Tell me the truth! ”
"The minister is guilty! The ministers would not dare to frame His Majesty the Emperor even if they died! It was Wang Jue who acted privately and killed Wang Futong, the border general! Your Majesty takes into account friendship and family affection, and is willing to exonerate Wang Jue, but the king has never suffered anything on behalf of his courtiers, I hope Your Majesty will think twice! Li Ke didn't raise his head, still saying the same thing he had just said, as if he had just memorized this paragraph to deal with everything today.
Zhu Mu stretched out his hand and almost poked it on Li Keshou's forehead, laughing angrily and said, "Haha! Good, good! Do you see that I don't want to embarrass my loyal ministers, so I'm ready to fight me to the death here? Isn't it? You really think I'm reluctant to dispose of you, do you? ”
"The minister is guilty! Don't dare! Li Keshou still looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, but Zhu Mu became more and more angry. Of course, he has already received the news that the ministers will collectively embarrass Wang Jue at the next court meeting, and the reason for all this is because his majesty, the emperor, gave Wang Jue, a courtier, a lot of difficult orders.
If it is replaced by other mediocre ministers or treacherous people, it will be over if you can't do it yourself. But for the sake of the Ming Empire and for the sake of Zhu Mu's friend, Wang Jue gritted his teeth and persevered, and solved all these problems. The same is true of the situation in Liaodong, as is the matter of recapturing Fengtian, and the matter of the Liaobei Army...... Also.
And because there was a problem in the means and behavior, these courtiers who were not capable of doing such a big thing as Wang Jue on weekdays all stood up to make it difficult. Zhu Mu really wanted to call these ministers over, pointed at the tip of their noses and scolded: You can't do it with a long time, and you don't let capable people do it?
So Zhu Mu made up his mind to protect Wang Jue today, he felt that even if he opened up the truth of the whole thing, fought for the dignity of the Ninety-Five, and let the sacredness and detachment of the throne be damaged, he had to fight for Wang Jue. However, he called Li Keshou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who knew everything about this matter, but found that this guy was unwilling to testify about it.
Li Keshou was very shameless and wise with him, and drew a line between the whole thing and His Majesty the Emperor. Wang Jue used the Jinyi Guard to commit the murder on his own, not at the instigation of His Majesty the Emperor -- if the ministers wanted to continue to investigate, he, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, would be charged with "reckless negligence" again, and the matter would be completely suppressed within a small scope.
His Majesty the Emperor used his cronies and Jinyi Wei to kill the border generals without authorization in disregard of the laws of the empire, which was a major event that shook the country's foundation by losing the virtue of the Son of Heaven, and even Zhu Mu's dragon chair would be shaken. And if this matter is the minister's own opinion, it is another matter, in Li Keshou's view, Zhu Mu is the object of his allegiance, as for Wang Jue, then if he sells it, he will sell it.
He Li scrupulously abides by his duties for the royal family of the Ming Empire, and for His Majesty the Emperor! As for other things, or other people, they can be eliminated or betrayed by Jinyiwei. It is precisely because of Li Keshou's deep-rooted character that he can sit in the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, fight against Chen Yue, and jointly control the dark side of the Ming Empire.
Seeing that Li Ke adhered to the oil and salt and continued to repeat the minister's guilt there, the minister did not dare to talk this kind of useless nonsense, and Zhu Mu, who was most impatient to listen to the nonsense of his subordinates, did not continue to say anything, but grabbed the coffee table in his hand, and another porcelain bowl that looked extraordinary was smashed at Li Keshou's feet so casually.
The faces of the chamberlains and palace maids who heard this crisp sound in the distance were green, you must know that there were four tea bowls in this year, which was Emperor Wanli's favorite thing, and when it was passed into the hands of the son of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, these four tea bowls were unintentionally broken by the palace maid, and a tea bowl case was made, and the palace maid was sentenced to a felony of being killed with a cane.
As a result, the remaining three tea bowls in this set were dropped by His Majesty the Emperor in two in a row in the early morning of the same day, an hour before the court meeting was about to start! Countless people who know the value of this set of teacups are crying silently in their hearts: Your Majesty, you have a lot of money, don't fall...... Can you send me?
"I say it again! Finally......" Zhu Mu seemed to have reached the limit of all his patience, stared at Li Keshou and said slowly: "Everything he does is my order!" Everything he did for the Ming Empire, I remember it in my heart! He is making meritorious contributions to the Ming Empire! Why should the heroes be blamed? ”
While speaking, Zhu Mu pressed his two hands on the armrests on both sides of the chair he was sitting on - many reception rooms and lounges in the Forbidden City of the Ming Empire have replaced the seats with comfortable styles such as sofas, and there is only one place that is so strict that it maintains a classical charm, and that is this Qianqing Palace.
The chair that Zhu Mu is pressing with both hands now is also the chair that the Emperor of the Apocalypse often sat on back then...... The knuckles of his hands pressed on the armrests were slightly white, which showed how hard Zhu Mu was. Supporting the armrest of the chair, the young emperor slowly stood up, put his face close to Li Keshou's ear, and said fiercely: "You do this, how will I face the loyal ministers in the future?" Let me, how do you see him? (To be continued.) )
