With the "cooperation" of Emperor Longqing, the chief eunuch quickly helped him take off his clothes with only one ink spot on the cuff, and was about to get him new clothes to change, when he found that his wrist had been stained with a small shallow ink blot because of his movement, and his brows were slightly twisted, and as always, he told Emperor Longqing about it. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

"Your Majesty, the stain has accidentally stained the dragon's body, can you order your subordinates to prepare water for bathing?"

As he spoke, the chief eunuch gestured to Emperor Longqing with his eyes where his arm was stained with ink, and by the way, he told him that outside the courtyard of the imperial study, Li Ming looked like he was relaying his intentions, "Just now, when the old slave went outside to convey His Majesty's will, he paid attention to Xia Depingbo's reaction, he seemed to be a little annoyed, but his body was tough, not like a serious illness just after recovery." ”

"Prepare water! I'm going to bathe! ”

Listening to the chief eunuch say that his body was stained with ink, Emperor Longqing, who had always had a habit of cleanliness, immediately tightened his brows, followed his gaze to his arm, and sure enough, he saw the "stain" he said, and at that moment, he stretched out his arm in disgust to prevent other parts of his body from being contaminated by it, "That old man Li Ming, who is relying on the old and selling the old, and pretending to be sick with me, of course the body is tough!" Let him kneel there, kneel for a while, and then he can relieve this hatred in his heart! ”

For people who have a habit of cleanliness, the time to bathe in the water always passes quickly.

Under the service of the chief eunuch, Emperor Longqing soaked in a wooden barrel and washed and washed, rubbed and rubbed, changed the water three times, and then soaked in the water for a nap, only to feel that he was barely finished.

And this time. It has been more than an hour since Li Ming asked to see him.

In other words, Li Ming had been kneeling on the bluestone road outside the courtyard of the imperial study for more than an hour.

Although Li Ming is in good health, he is already an old man who is close to the age of sixties, thinking that back then, he married his eldest daughter, who was just old enough to be out of the boudoir, to Emperor Longqing, who was still King Yu, as a concubine. When he became the father-in-law of Emperor Longqing. In fact, he was only eight years and three months older than Emperor Longqing, who was his son-in-law.

Now. Emperor Longqing, who concealed his true age from the outside world, was actually almost at the age of "knowing the destiny of heaven", and he, who was the old man of Emperor Longqing, would naturally be able to see the threshold of the year of the sixtieth year.

Winters in Yanjing are already cold. The pavement paved with bluestone chiseled bricks is particularly cool. Li Ming, who did not have the permission of Emperor Longqing, knelt for a quarter of an hour and a quarter of an hour, always thinking that in the next moment, Emperor Longqing would be sympathetic to him, an old man, and let him get up and enter the house. Forgave him for his previous sin of "not being seen...... I don't want to, this kneeling is more than an hour. I lost consciousness from the cold below my waist, and I didn't hear the call of Emperor Longqing!

In fact. Emperor Longqing didn't mean to let Li Ming kneel for so long.

To be exact, if he hadn't been stained with ink, he hated taking a bath, and completely forgot about time, Li Ming would not have suffered such a big crime.

But the things in this world are so coincidental that there is no book, and it just so happened that Li Ming, who first thought that he had a heavy army in his hands, could ignore Emperor Longqing, at this time today, he ......

Of course, Li Ming, who has a ghost in his heart, will definitely not think that this is just a coincidence.

In his mind, a cautious person like Emperor Longqing planned to take advantage of this opportunity to give him a "dismount", so that he could know who was the king, who was the minister, or...... Could it be that the incident that happened in the Northeast Camp before, when a large number of soldiers defected, was actually planned by Emperor Longqing, just to beat him and make him ...... It's not impossible!

The Emperor Longqing he knows is really such an emperor who likes to make tricks behind people's backs, and also completely brushes himself off, pretending to be a good person in front of people, and pretending to be generous!

That's right.

In addition to Emperor Longqing, who else can have such a powerful ability, and in less than half a month, he will give his Northeast camp like an iron wall to the chickens and dogs?

This Zhu Zaiyuan was silent on the surface, looking like he didn't know what he was going to do, and secretly ...... But he has such a clear understanding of what he wants to do!

is worthy of being born in the royal family of the Ming Dynasty!

Even if he is not a son-in-law, even if he was down-and-out when he was young, he has accumulated a group of die-hard people that he Li Ming doesn't know in less than six years since he ascended the throne!

He must investigate clearly, what skills do these people who work for Emperor Longqing have, where are they usually hiding, and then ...... Click! Annihilation in one fell swoop! Never again!

In the Imperial Study.

Emperor Longqing, who had finished taking a bath, changed into a clean dress with a refreshing color under the service of the chief eunuch, and walked out of the small room unhurriedly.

In his mind, he just took a bath, and the time for a cup of tea may not be able to arrive quickly, so that Li Ming's old thing that made him angry only knelt outside the courtyard for such a short time, and spared his disobedience, that is, he is such a magnanimous emperor, can do it, of course, this is mainly based on the face of his late original partner Li, if it weren't for Li Ming's old thing, he is his old father-in-law, how can he get it, he has to let him kneel for three days and three nights, before he can finish with him!

"Go and call that old thing Li Ming in, and see if he came to meet me, is there any weasel to give the chicken a New Year's greeting!"

Although Emperor Longqing is not a famous monarch in ancient times, he is not a fool who doesn't understand fart and can't see anything, in the past, he had nothing, Li Ming married his daughter to him as a concubine, in order to gamble on winning or losing, coincidentally, let him Li Ming win this game by mistake!

He was grateful to the Li family, who never gave up on him, and he instinctively felt guilty for not letting her live a good life, so he rewarded all the things he owed to her father and brother, that is, her mother's family, the head of the Li family, just to change his own peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, Li Ming, who was given by him, was not only grateful for his kindness, but felt that everything their Li family got was the income of his "bet", and every time he came back to see him, he had to ask him for some benefits to go back, especially in the past two years, the Li family, which had the Northeast camp as a backer and the Jiangnan camp also hooked up with the relationship, has become more and more excessive and outrageous in terms of speaking and doing things!

Before, it was not that there was no counselor who wanted to mention this matter to him, he thought that the Li family was good, so he refuted all the notes to those ministers and officials, and in addition, the Li family has always been close to the eldest prince Linglian, and he also intended to give up the throne to Linglian, the concubine, so he didn't put any restrictions......

He never wanted to gather his armpits into Qiu, his laissez-faire allowed the Li family to slowly grow, until some time ago, when he wanted to dispose of Lingjiao, he suddenly found that the power he could grasp in his hands was unattainable even half of the Li family's henchmen!

Not to mention the righteous son of General Jiang Lao in the northwest, Jiang Rubai, will he be loyal to him like General Jiang, even if Jiang Rubai is really as heartfelt as General Jiang, he is willing to lead his troops to gallop thousands of miles and come to Yanjing to escort him, with the only remaining "three battalions" in his hands, he will never be able to support half a month, waiting for him to come to help!

Northeast Daying and Jiangnan Daying.

These two military camps, which were supposed to be the two major military camps of Gongwei Yanjing, have now become two fine thorns in the flesh of Emperor Longqing, and they want to pull them out, but they don't know where to start!

"According to the old slave's humble opinion, Deping Bo should have come to show favor or beg for mercy."

The chief eunuch thought for a moment, left such a sentence for Emperor Longqing, bowed respectfully to him, turned around and went out.

Emperor Longqing is not young, he can't stand it, these days, because of the turbulent situation, and can't sleep well for several nights, comb his hair every day, the hair falls down one by one, not to mention, the number of white hairs is more than three times more than before, the chief eunuch sees this matter in his eyes, feels uncomfortable, and has nowhere to vent, naturally the fault of all these things is enough to blame on the head of Deping Bo Li Ming.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that he will unconsciously show a dislike and hostile attitude towards Li Ming, which has never been possible before, and no one else has ever seen it, including Emperor Longqing, including the late Concubine Du Kang, and now the Empress Dowager Xiaoke.

"Gestures...... Or begging for mercy? With me? ”

Even the chief eunuch didn't expect that his angry words would be crooked, and Emperor Longqing was a little puzzled and twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, but before he could figure it out, he saw Li Ming, who was almost rolling and crawling, and then came into the house.

Can you really pretend, just kneeling for such a short time, so that you can't even walk the road?

Seeing Li Ming limping into the door, seeing his face, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", Emperor Longqing instinctively scolded him in his heart, glanced at him with the same face, and pretended to be surprised, and asked him in disbelief, "Depingbo, is this ...... Injured legs and feet? A few days ago, I summoned you to the palace to see you, and you asked people to come and tell me that you were seriously ill...... Is that what you mean? Tsk, it's been half a month, and it's still so serious, ...... at home Didn't find a good doctor, or ......"

"Much, thank you for Your Majesty's compassion, the old minister is just, it's just that it's useless to be old, and his legs are numb on his knees, when I told Your Majesty before, the disease I told Your Majesty has already been cured, because, because I am afraid of committing it again, I have not dared to come to see Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty, forgiveness, forgiveness!"

The sour numb is not like a simple pain, grit your teeth, you can get through, Li Ming is already out of strength with his legs, and the sour numb is not good, this time when he entered the door of the imperial study, he tripped over the threshold under his feet, fell to the ground, and bumped his legs and feet again...... To put it mildly, Li Ming's expression when he was talking to Emperor Longqing at this time was really a "harlequin" who couldn't compare to one-tenth of his grin! (To be continued)
