Li Mu's words were like an ancient bell that had never been ringed, and suddenly it was suddenly struck, and the sound of this ancient bell exploded like thunder in the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with a thunderous momentum. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then it passed leisurely through the gate of the Taihe Hall to the sky.

After Li Mu's voice fell, all the Jinyi guards inside and outside the Taihe Hall knelt on one knee and congratulated in unison: "Jinyi Wei knocks on the emperor's grace!" The Queen Mother's grace! ”

The Jinyi Wei Yingwei shouted in unison, like a coercion on the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military bodies, so that these ministers had to bow down to Zhang Yan and say in unison: "The ministers are guilty, the ministers are worthy of the trust of the queen mother, and they are in vain to care about the emperor's grace." ”

After speaking, no one dared to raise their heads, all of them bowed their bodies, lowered their heads, and waited for the Empress Dowager Yi'an, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, to personally speak to forgive them.

Although Li Mu's questioning seemed illusory, it was the most fatal for an ancient official.

In ancient times, reputation was more important than life, and some people could not care about their lives, but they could not care less about reputation, especially officials, who regarded reputation as higher than the sky.

This kind of unwarranted accusation is equivalent to saying that they are in a vegetarian position, and they don't know how to thank the royal family for their kindness.

To put it bluntly, Li Mu is just saying that these guys don't when they stand in the pit, don't serve food with a spoon, and don't work on their wages.

For these officials, how could they admit such accusations, even if they were really in the corpse meal, they would resolutely not admit it.

If they admit it, it is tantamount to saying that they are really virtuous, ashamed of the court clothes on their bodies, and disregard the royal favor.

Now the only way is for all the civil and military officials to bow down and beg the Queen Mother, as long as Zhang Yan on the phoenix chair opens her mouth and lets them be flattened, Li Mu's accusation against them is nonsense.

Zhang Yan glanced at the civil and military officials who bowed their heads and bowed their heads, and no longer shy away from it, and directly looked at Li Mu's back with a pair of flattering eyes, with endless tenderness.

At this time, she found that Li Mu, who was facing hundreds of civil and military officials, was like an insurmountable mountain, blocking all the wind and rain for her, and her heart couldn't help but waver.

Seeing this scene in the Taihe Palace, Li Mu smiled at the corner of his mouth, representing that the majesty of the imperial power had been lowered, and in the face of questioning, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed down to Zhang Yan and begged for this,

Next, it is necessary to sprinkle the grace of imperial power like a spring breeze and gain the favor of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, of course, this grace is not sprinkled by Li Mu, but by another person, which will be more effective.

As the former emperor's posthumous guardian of the country, wearing the new emperor's imperial treasure knife at his waist, Li Mu can only represent the majesty of the imperial power, the most cruel side, not the grace of the imperial power, the most tender side.

Li Mu turned around and saw Zhang Yan's eyes full of tenderness on the phoenix chair, the watery eyes, especially the two lightly pursed lips, made him have an urge to rush to Danbi and kiss Fangze.

Fortunately, Li Mu held back, knowing that there was a group of ministers behind him who were waiting for the imperial power to send down the favor, so he made a flying kiss to the beautiful queen mother on the phoenix chair, pointed to the civil and military officials who had been bowing down and waiting for the flat behind him, and signaled that Zhang Yan could buy people's hearts.

In this way, Li Mu led the Jinyi Guard to be responsible for the cruelty of the imperial power, and Zhang Yan represented the grace of the imperial power, and these officials of the Ming Dynasty could not make too many waves.

In addition, Wei Zhongxian led the East Factory and secretly supervised these officials.

After a long time, he only needs to get through the worst Chongzhen Dynasty smoothly, and another thing in Li Mu's heart will be much easier to implement, and the Ming officials will not have much resistance to this matter.

After nearly a year of government affairs, Zhang Yan understood the meaning of Li Mu's gesture, and her heart was naturally warm, sitting on the phoenix chair with a charming white look, and she couldn't wait to rush down to Danbi now and throw herself into the arms of her lover.

However, now is not the time, Zhang Yan had to sit down and calmly said to the civil and military officials: "What is the crime of the Zhongqing family, let's be even." ”

"Wait for the Empress Dowager to have mercy."

As Li Mu expected, Zhang Yan's opening was indeed grateful to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, whether it was sincere or not, at least for now, it was a good start.

"The mourning family knows that Zhong Aiqing has no choice, so he will think of opening the internal money." Seeing that all the civil and military officials got up, Zhang Yan straightened up, glanced at Li Mu, and continued.

"What Li Aiqing said just now is indeed too impulsive, but it is understandable, after all, Li Aiqing is afraid of living up to the previous emperor's entrustment to his prison country."

Zhang Yan, who was a peacemaker, changed her words for a moment, and then asked: "It's just that the problem has to be solved after all, and the people in Shaanxi have no harvest, and I don't know if all Aiqing can make a good plan." ”

Hearing Zhang Yan ask about the drought in Shaanxi again, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military directly pleaded guilty: "The ministers are incompetent. ”

After speaking, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all looked at Li Mu in unison, as if there was a playful smile in their eyes.

For the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, although the Queen Mother reconciled with them, it was impossible for them to have a good impression of Li Mu, and the officials and Jinyiwei were born rivals, and it was impossible for Zhang Yan to turn over the matter just now in a few words.

No way.

Seeing that Zhang Yan had repeatedly mentioned the drought in Shaanxi, the people had no harvest to deal with it, so they simply said that they were incompetent and stopped doing it.

Didn't Li Mu say just now that this was a trivial matter, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also wanted to see how such a small matter could be solved without them?

They don't believe that a Jinyi Guard commander can conjure up food, even if this Jinyi Guard Commander is very special, and has the responsibility of supervising the country with the emperor's posthumous certificate.

The straightforward admission of the incompetence of the Manchu civil and military forces made Zhang Yan obviously stunned, and then smiled helplessly, knowing that these ministers were still angry about what Li Mu said just now.

No longer looking at these ministers, Zhang Yan looked at her lover and asked expectantly, "Li Aiqing, do you have a way?" ”

Although it is a bit irresponsible to throw this matter to the lover, Zhang Yan is still full of confidence in Li Mu's magic.

Even if Li Mu said that the people in Shaanxi would have food to eat tomorrow, she would choose to believe it.

After all, it shouldn't be too difficult for a person who can disappear from her arms to conjure food.

Zhang Yan didn't know that her trust in Li Mu had almost reached the point of blindness.

Li Mu didn't care too much when he saw the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military abuse, and said to Zhang Yan on the phoenix chair: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, the drought in Shaanxi, this is a natural disaster, I think it is God's dissatisfaction with the new emperor, and the minister thinks that the new emperor can make an edict to ask God for forgiveness." ”

Let the new emperor issue an edict that has nothing to do with the drought in Shaanxi, this is just Li Mu's idea to let Zhu Cihong's Chongzhen Dynasty surpass his father Zhu Youzhen in the edict.

At the same time, the edict has another use, that is, to deepen the impression in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty that the Chongzhen Dynasty ruled by Zhu Cihong will be a natural disaster.

For this reason, in the future, whenever there is a natural disaster, Li Mudu plans to issue an edict in the name of Zhu Cihong.

I thought that Li Mu would have some good way, but I didn't expect that it would be for the new emperor Zhu Cihong to issue an edict for himself, which made Zhang Yan a little crying and laughing.

Just wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he asked suspiciously: "Is Li Aiqing doing this?" As long as the new emperor decrees that the drought in Shaanxi can be solved? ”

Maybe Zhang Yan really regarded Li Mu as an immortal sent by God, so she would ask such a question.

"I can't." Regarding Zhang Yan's inquiry, Li Mu simply denied it.

The guilty edict is just used by Li Mu to reduce the new emperor's sense of identity among the people, how can a guilty edict solve the drought in Shaanxi, it is purely a dream.

"Ugh." Hope was shattered, Zhang Yan couldn't say anything about Li Mu, so she could only sigh helplessly and said, "Then why did Li Aiqing make an edict against herself?" ”

Li Mu explained: "The Queen Mother, the edict of guilt has existed in ancient times, since ancient times, whenever there is a catastrophe in the world, the emperor will issue an edict of guilt, not only to ask God for guilt and beg for forgiveness, but also to give an explanation to the people of the world, so that the people of Li will not be disappointed in the court." ”

"Although the edict of the guilty self cannot solve the drought in Shaanxi and let the people have food in their hands, it is a way to convey the attitude of the imperial court towards disasters."

After speaking, Li Mu glanced at Zhang Yan who was thinking and gave a firm look.

Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, thought about it for a while, and also made some changes, after all, a dead horse was a live horse doctor, and after receiving Li Mu's eyes, he asked His Royal Highness's civil and military officials: "What do you think?" ”

At this time, in the face of Zhang Yan's inquiry, Huang Liji stood up again, as Wei Zhongxian's ironcore, he must stand up and express his support at this time.

"Queen Mother, it is feasible for Lord Li to propose that the new emperor issue an edict of guilt, and every time there is a disaster in all dynasties, there are precedents for the emperor to issue an edict."

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Liji continued: "As the Queen Mother said, the new emperor has issued an edict of guilt, the drought in Shaanxi is still drought, and the people still have no food in their hands. ”

After speaking, Huang Liji turned his head to ask Li Mu for advice: "Lord Li, the drought in Shaanxi is not a child's play, I don't know if Lord Li has a solution. ”

In any case, although Huang Liji took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, he still had the people of the Ming Dynasty in his heart, otherwise in history, he would not be the first person to stand up and recognize the legitimacy of Zhu Youzhen and persuade him to ascend the throne as emperor.

He can express his support for letting the new emperor issue an edict, but then Li Mu will explain how to deal with the drought in Shaanxi.

In the face of Huang Liji's questioning, Li Mu said very ruthlessly: "Elder Huang Ge, it would be good for your cabinet to write the edict of the new emperor, as for how to solve the problem of the drought in Shaanxi, this seat will naturally explain it to the Queen Mother in person." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Huang Liji impatiently and said, "You don't need to worry about it." ”

As a representative of the majesty of the imperial power, Li Mu did not feel the need to explain the matter clearly to Huang Liji, and only needed to express his dissatisfaction.

Huang Liji didn't pay attention to Li Mu, turned to look at Zhang Yan on the phoenix chair and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, the old minister begs for permission to Lord Li's proposal, and asks the new emperor to issue an edict for himself." ”

Zhang Yan was still a little hesitant, after all, letting a young child bear the mistake was really unbearable for her to agree, after all, Zhu Cihong was nominally her child.

Seeing that Zhang Yan was still hesitating, in order to sit down and let Li Mu solve the matter of the drought in Shaanxi, they pulled them out of this matter, and they all bowed behind Huang Liji and said, "I beg the Queen Mother's permission." ”

"That's it." Zhang Yan sighed and said: "The mourning family is approved, but the mourning family wants to issue an edict with the new emperor to sin himself, with the love of mother and son." ”

In the end, Zhang Yan still couldn't bear to let a young child bear it alone, and planned to bear the fault of heaven together, and jointly issued an edict with the new emperor.

The civil and military officials congratulated in unison: "The Queen Mother is merciful. ”

Zhang Yan saw the civil and military officials get up to congratulate, and said with relief: "Zhong Aiqing is flat, the mourning family does not have much ability, so they can only bear these for the new emperor, and the rest will depend on the public Aiqing to bear it together." ”

"The ministers will do their best."

"Okay, since Li Aiqing wants to personally explain to the mourning family, how to solve the problem of the drought in Shaanxi." Zhang Yan looked at Li Mu and said to His Royal Highness's civil and military officials: "The mourning family will retreat when they see this dynasty, and the cabinet should also go down to prepare for the relevant matters of the edict, prepare early, and the people of my Ming Dynasty will be out of the sea of suffering one day sooner." ”

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian stepped forward at the right time, waved the dust whisk in his hand, and shouted with full anger: "The Empress Dowager Yizhi, Zhong Aiqing will retreat first." ”

"Minister's order."

After bowing, the civil and military officials withdrew from the Taihe Hall in turn, leaving the entire hall to Li Mu and Zhang Yan to discuss the next things.

....

Wei Zhongxian saw that all the civil and military officials had withdrawn from the Taihe Hall and left the Fengtian Gate, and he also stepped forward and said, "The old slave of the Queen Mother also retired first. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Yan to nod, he got off the Danbi and walked towards Li Mu.

When Li Mu approached, Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said, "The old slave of the lord has retired." ”

There are no outsiders here, all of them are Li Mu's brocade guards and eagle guards, as well as two palace maids from Renshou Palace, so there is no need for Wei Zhongxian to hide it.

"Hmm." Li Mu nodded to Wei Zhongxian, and when he thought of something, he said, "Duke Wei, is there a collection in the palace of the Yongle Canon?" ”

When he was cleaning up the antique calligraphy and paintings copied from the eight Jin merchants on this plane, Li Mu planned to bring back the "Yongle Canon", and at this time he just asked Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian, who was about to leave, stopped his steps, thought for a while and said: "Lord, there is indeed a collection in the palace of the Yongle Grand Canon, but some of it is hidden in the Nandu Palace, if the Lord wants it, it needs to be taken from the Nandu Palace." ”

Hearing that some of them were in the southern capital, Li Mu instructed Wei Zhongxian: "In this way, you send someone to the southern capital to get back that part of the "Yongle Canon", and then find a famous artist to copy a few editions of all the "Yongle Canon", and collect the newly copied editions in the northern and southern capitals and other places, and then send the original version to the Empress Dowager's Renshou Palace." ”

The "Yongle Canon" was placed in Zhang Yan's Renshou Palace, in order to wait for the next time to return to the original plane to facilitate the installation, as for copying a few more editions, it was for the preservation of the "Yongle Canon" in Daming.

Historically, the "Yongle Canon" has not been well preserved for various reasons, which is really a pity, if you copy a few more editions, they are hidden in different positions, and they should not be destroyed as in history.

"The old slave understands." After speaking, Wei Zhongxian stopped staying and directly withdrew from the Taihe Palace.

After Wei Zhongxian withdrew from the Taihe Palace, Li Mu instructed the eagle guards in the hall: "All retreat." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Yan also said to the two palace maids beside her: "You should also step down." ”

After only the two of them were left in the entire Taihe Palace, Li Mu knelt down on one knee and said under Zhang Yan's watery eyes: "Minister Li Mu, I have seen the beauty of the Queen Mother." ”
