Chapter Sixty-Nine: Entering the Palace and Facing the Holy (Seeking a New Chapter)
Wanli, who has always been slack in government, quickly approved the candidates for the governor of Liaodong and Liaodong in the cabinet this time, which made Fang Congzhe feel a little uncomfortable.
Because Emperor Wanli has always been unconcerned about the minister's recitals, even if he sees it, he basically stays in the middle and doesn't send it.
Occasionally, it is very untimely to reply to important matters.
Of course, except for the Fuwang Zhu Changxun's recital, the Fuwang's recital was basically delivered in the morning, and it had been replied to in the afternoon, and it was responsive.
This "Liaodong War" can basically be regarded as a past.
Although the Donglin Party has been adding to the chaos, Yang Hao was also dismissed, but fortunately, Xiong Tingbi took over the position of Liaodong Economic Strategy.
Although the governor of Liaodong was replaced by Yuan Yingtai, a member of the Donglin Party, the supervisor of Liaodong was Yan Mingtai, and the Donglin Party could not control the overall situation of Liaodong.
Although the Li family in Liaodong is not a member of the three parties of "Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang", it can be seen from Li Xianzhong's attitude that the Li family is definitely on his side.
Although Wanli did not clearly define the victory or defeat of this "Liaodong War", he ordered the traitor Li Yongfang to publicly Ling Chi three days later, and the heads of some of the Jianyu were loaded and displayed on the streets.
has already explained His Majesty's attitude, this battle is a victory for the Ming Dynasty.
The eunuch in the palace had come to Li Rubai's mansion the night before and informed Li Xianzhong that Emperor Wanli was going to summon him.
So early in the morning he bathed in incense and came to the gate of the palace to wait.
Soon, under the guidance of two little eunuchs, they entered Miyagi.
In his previous life, Li Xianzhong also came to the Forbidden City, but he only came to play at that time, and he didn't have that feeling of pilgrimage.
But now when I see these red-walled glazed tile buildings again, I feel that this place is very solemn, and the overall feeling is very depressing.
Even if there were eunuchs and palace maids walking by on the opposite side, most of them stared ahead, just quietly sweeping themselves with their afterglow.
Li Xianzhong waited outside the hall for about half a pillar of incense, and was summoned by Wanli.
Under the guidance of Chang Yun, the eunuch in the court, Li Xianzhong entered the Qianqing Palace.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a golden crown and a purple four-group dragon pattern round-necked robe sitting in front of him.
This is the longest-reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun.
Although he has been sitting on the throne of the emperor for 47 years, I have to say that at the age of 57, he still looks very young, and he does not have the twilight of an old man.
It's just that this body is really a little fat, and the wide dragon robe can't hide his bloated body, Li Xianzhong estimates that the fat man in front of him must be one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds.
No wonder King Nafu can eat a big fat man of more than 300 catties, it turns out that there is Wanli's fat gene here.
It is a blessing for ordinary people to be able to eat, but the weight of this emperor, without diagnosis, knows that he must be "three highs", and there is diabetes.
Although Li Xianzhong had previously judged from Cui Wensheng's description that Wanli had signs of cardiopulmonary failure. However, there are several types of heart failure, and different causes require different treatment options.
Although Li Xianzhong is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, he is not a miracle doctor, and he can diagnose the disease at a glance.
However, from his slightly purple lips and blue and swollen eye bags, it can be judged that Wanli does have a heart problem, and his sleep quality must be very poor.
Of course, he didn't dare to look at Wanli directly, but he just observed it when he walked into the main hall.
The eunuch who delivered the message last night gave Li Xianzhong training in the basic etiquette of facing the saint, and when he was waiting outside the hall just now, he was consolidated again.
Li Xianzhong quickly bowed to Wanli.
While he was observing Wanli, Wanli was also looking at him.
It's strange that this young man in front of him, who has never met before, gives Wanli a sense of déjà vu.
Although Wanli has not seen Li Rubai, he has seen Li Chengliang and Li Rusong.
The Li Xianzhong in front of him is also quite similar to Li Rusong.
If you want to say that Wanli Dynasty, he is the most fond of that general, it is undoubtedly Li Rusong.
Wanli's favor for Li Rusong is far better than Li Chengliang, and Li Rusong directly participated in and commanded two "Wanli Three Great Marches", "Ningxia Rebellion" and "Aiding Korea and Resisting the Japanese".
The status of military generals in the Wanli period was far inferior to that of Wenchen, but Li Rusong was an exception.
If Li Chengliang's dominance is only in Liaodong, but Li Rusong has made the Li family's dominance ubiquitous.
When he was the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, he directly beat the governor of Shanxi, but due to Wanli's favor, there was no punishment in the end.
However, this also triggered an attack on the Li family by the literati group, who continued to write to the Li family in Liaodong that "the tail is too big to fall", and the imperial court must check and balance.
In the end, Wanli dismissed Li Chengliang's Liaodong army, but this did not mean that he was ready to weaken the power of the Li family, he just transferred Li Chengliang's power to Li Rusong.
If Li Rusong did not die because of that accident, I believe that Wanli has the meaning of letting the Li family "Yongzhen Liaodong".
But all this disappeared with Li Rusong's bizarre "accidental death".
The death of Ai Jiang also made Wanli's trust in the Li family turn into jealousy.
After that, the Li family was suppressed by the imperial court, even if Li Chengliang was reactivated, but the decline of the Li family in Liaodong was inevitable.
Wanli is actually a very emotional person, and when he dotes on you, he is incomprehensible.
For example, to Concubine Zheng Guifei, to King Fu, and to Li Rusong.
But when he hates you, he will hate everything about you, such as Zhang Juzheng, and even the people who have reused Zhang Juzheng;
to Concubine Wang Gong, and even his eldest son, the current crown prince Zhu Changluo.
Even the famous general Qi Jiguang was abandoned because he was Zhang Juzheng's comrade.
It is precisely these similarities with Li Rusong that make Wanli have a natural sense of closeness to Li Xianzhong.
Wanli, who was a little distracted, found that Li Xianzhong was still kneeling at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Aiqing is flat!" ”
Li Xianzhong also came prepared this time, so he offered his own gift.
He said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's Hongfu, the last general went deep into the hinterland of Jianzhou this time and found two treasures, which are specially dedicated to Your Majesty and Concubine Zheng Gui. ”
So Li Xianzhong handed over the two brocade boxes he was carrying to the chamberlain beside him.
Li Xianzhong asked the chamberlain to open a long brocade box, which contained a ginseng of excellent condition with a red rope tied to it.
Wanli curiously pointed to the ginseng and said, "Why is this ginseng offered by Aiqing still tied with a red rope?" ”
Li Xianzhong said: "This is the thousand-year-old ginseng of Changbai Mountain, and it is said that the thousand-year-old ginseng gathers the aura of heaven and earth. If the ginseng picker does not tie the ginseng with a red rope, even if the ginseng is picked by chance, it will flee on its own. Therefore, this red rope has been tied to this thousand-year-old ginseng to prevent it from escaping. ”
Wanli is the emperor, what kind of ginseng has you never seen?
Although this thousand-year-old ginseng is precious, if it weren't for this rhetoric, Wanli wouldn't have taken it seriously at all.
Li Xianzhong's remarks made Wanli very happy, and he said: "Aiqing has a heart!" ”
Li Xianzhong said: "The last general looks at His Majesty's deep eye bags, presumably His Majesty is working day and night for state affairs, which causes restlessness and difficulty in sleeping. This ginseng is best for peace of mind and hopefully useful to His Majesty. ”
Wanli asked curiously: "Vice General Li is young, not only can he lead troops to fight, but he is also proficient in medical science?" ”
Li Xianzhong thought to himself, Lao Tzu is also a student of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a family of traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Xianzhong said: "Before the last general was adopted as a righteous son by his father, he was raised by a Purple Cloud Dao Chief. The teacher is more than 100 years old, proficient in various health preservation methods, and teaches some medical skills and the art of war. ”
Wanli knew that there was a serious problem with his body, and these imperial doctors only temporarily relieved the symptoms, and there was no cure at all. When I heard that this Purple Cloud Dao was over 100 years old and proficient in the way of health preservation.
To be honest, he was tempted!
So he asked: "I didn't expect there to be such a strange person in the world, I don't know where the Purple Cloud Daoist is now?" ”
This is also carefully designed by Li Xianzhong, he used this thousand-year-old ginseng as an introduction, the purpose is to lure Wanli to the bait.
After thinking about it for a long time, he was a military general and said that he was proficient in medical skills, and it was impossible for him to diagnose and treat the emperor.
He could only alleviate Wanli's condition first by offering some "health remedies", and then see if there was a chance to diagnose and treat him.
And it can't be a home remedy for consumption, so the hospital will definitely check it, and they won't let the emperor take this kind of home remedies of unknown origin at all.
He racked his brains to recall the medical books he had read, and finally reminded him of a recipe for soaking his feet.
This recipe can not only help alleviate the symptoms of Wanli's heart failure, but also help his foot disease, and the ingredients of the recipe can also stand the test of the imperial doctor.
So Li Xianzhong said: "The family teacher has traveled all over the world, and his whereabouts are erratic, and the last general does not know the whereabouts of his old man now." However, the last general brought a secret recipe from his old man this time, as long as he insists on soaking his feet with this recipe every day, he will definitely be able to prolong His Majesty's life. ”
Hearing the words "prolonging life", Wanli's eyes lit up instantly!
