Chapter 416(1/2)
Zhu Liye, the king of the Ming Dynasty, came to the other courtyard with the help of Eunuch Gao. He wore a Tai Chi robe and a purple dragon crown on his head. The emperor practiced Taoism. When he did not deal with the government, he mostly dressed in this way in the palace.
Zhu Liye was not a diligent emperor. He had been ascending the throne for twenty years and rarely took power, but he used the skills of checks and balances to play with the civil and military officials of the court. Even Yuwen Tianlu and Li Chuntie collapsed one after another. In terms of intelligence, he would never be inferior to anyone.
His appearance immediately made Duke Lu panic and quickly knelt down, but Zhu Liye said impatiently, "I have something to say to Dean Li when I waited for the order on the side."
Eunuch Gao and Duke Lu stood not far away.
Li Chuntie did not get up, nor even glanced at him, slowly poured wine and tasted it slowly. In the eyes of the Duke of Lu, this was a great disrespect to the emperor. If he really pursued it, it would be a loss of his head.
This is the first time Li Chuntie has seen Zhu Liye in a year.
Since returning from Xijiang and returning to the capital, Zhu Liye has taken his power. At first, he just avoided it. Until a few months ago, an imperial edict imprisoned him. Although the civil and military officials in the court did not make any clear discussions, they were talking in private. Even Duke Lu and others who were interested in the news with Eunuch Gao had no results.
But the emperor's number one confidant and the leader of the Ming Dynasty's number one spy was imprisoned, which sent a very strong signal that the emperor was about to make big moves.
Zhu Liye had a calm face, "For the past few months, you have not decided to tell me whether you have to make a decision or not, have you not apologized for the crime?"
Explain?
What to explain?
Li Chuntie knew that confession was death, and not confession was death. Raising it would help protect people outside.
He looked at Zhu Liye and said calmly, "The old minister is worthy of it."
Zhu Liye was furious, "You mean I was wrong?"
"You will never be wrong."
"Since you know that I am right, you and Yuwen Tianlu have been together to show me the drama for twenty years. Don't you owe me an explanation?"
Li Chuntie smiled, "Which explanation does Your Majesty want to hear? Is it the Martial Arts? Or Zhu Houyi?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Duke Gao of Lu, not far away, took a few steps back, silently chanting in his heart, not listening or listening. The turtle was still worried, and he retreated again until he stuck to the base of the wall, and had nowhere to retreat, and pretended to chat.
Seeing this, Zhu Liye shouted, "Get out!"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, "Abide by the order!"
This is the first time the two of them feel happy because they were scolded by the emperor. After all, no matter what the following conversation is, it will become a cause of losing their heads in the future.
It is a normal human nature to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.
Zhu Liye's expression calmed down a little and sighed, "When I was still King Yong, you and Yuwen Tianlu were solid, and they were planning the world together. At that time, I thought, "The three of us work together to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty. We will also achieve a good story of the king and ministers in history, just like Emperor Taizong of Tang, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji. Now, in the blink of an eye, twenty years, we have ended up in such a land!"
These words were so emotional, but Li Chun was as strong as the waves of an ancient well.
He served Zhu Liye for more than 20 years, eliminated too many serious problems for him, did too many privacy matters, and knew his character very well.
He is cold, ruthless, selfish, very happy with merit, but also loves fame.
All the credit was Zhu Liye, and he wanted to become the Emperor of Qin, Han and Wu, and the emperor of the ages. The killings and blood were all from the traitors.
If it were other ministers, like Duke Lu, they would definitely cry out and prostrate themselves, and then express their loyalty to the emperor. However, Li Chuntie was not, and Zhu Liye's trick was not easy to use for him.
Since the moment he was locked up, he has known his destiny.
"For several months, I have not removed your post and made things difficult for your subordinates. Just? In order to let you reflect on yourself here, as long as you are willing to explain, you are still my right-hand man and a minister, but..." Zhu Liye said, "You have chilled my heart."
Li Chuntie slowly closed the book.
"Your Majesty, do you still have any heart?"
This sentence is neither anxious nor slow, but every word is like a steel nail, piercing into Zhu Liye's heart. He was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at Li Chun Tiedao, "It's a big rebellious thing."
Hearing this sentence, Li Chuntie smiled.
This is Zhu Liye’s true thought.
"Your Majesty is the father of all officials and the father of all people. Although he is the supreme emperor, he is trapped in the capital. He has refused to leave the capital for twenty years. What is your Majesty worried about?" Li Chuntie asked, "Are you afraid of the people in the world? You are so hot, no matter how they live or die, you only care about yourself. You are afraid that the people on Shujian Mountain will come to settle the score with you. Don't forget
, What did you promise them at the beginning!”
Zhu Liye said, "It was they who ruined the promise first! I have been in power for twenty years, and the world is unified, the people are strong and the country is rich, and I have also shocked all countries with my mighty army. Have I not done enough? Am I not doing well?"
Zhu Liye was a little excited.
"What I ask for is only for generations. They are just outsiders. Why should they point fingers at me? What constitutional monarchy and the separation of powers? Without me, this Ming Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago!"
Li Chun Tiedao, "A gentleman believes in it."
"I am the emperor, not a gentleman!"
Li Chuntie said again, "When the late emperor was in power, there were thousands of people in the world, sixty thousand people. In a crisis, nine out of ten families were empty. At the beginning of the court, there were only two thousand people left. Twenty years later, it was only 40 million. This is the peaceful and prosperous era in Your Majesty. When Your Majesty raised the flag, he was so energetic that he was robbing the treasure, but he went back on his word. How could Your Majesty ask me to believe you again?"
"So this is your reason to collude with Yuwen Tianlu?"
Li Chun Railway, "I didn't know about that before Zhaoyao Mountain. It was about Zhaoyao Mountain. If some words were explained clearly, the matter would be clear."
"Okay, then I will tell you that I have ordered the general to lead 200,000 troops to siege Dingzhou, and within one month, he will be wiped out Dingzhou!"
Li Chuntie asked, "Just like twenty-two years ago?"
Zhu Liye yelled, "It's a slaughter once, and it's a slaughter twice, and there's no difference."
Li Chuntie gave a thumbs up, "Your Majesty is a good method."
"I'll ask you again, where is Zhu Houyi? Where is the martial arts classic?"
Li Chun Tiedao, "The matter of the previous dynasty's crown prince has always been the affairs of the Grand Governor Yuwen was doing his job for His Majesty. What His Majesty asked was not human, so I could not answer. As for the Wu Jing, when His Majesty killed the envoy of Shujian Mountain with the Sword Formation in the capital, I was not present and could not answer."
"Hmph." Zhu Liye sneered, "You have shirked it all. Okay, I will tell you that I have answers to these two things. I came here today just to test you whether you are still in the same mind as me, and whether you are still thinking about the love you have had over the years. Li Aiqing, you disappointed me."
Li Chuntie was still calm. He knew that this sentence was also a test. If he had already had the answer, with his personality, he would definitely not have lived the second day.
If a person dares to kill his own brothers and nephews? Where can he still have a relationship? When he learned that Yuwen Tianlu was in Dingzhou, he didn't even have a chance to explain and directly issued a secret order to kill him, how can he still have a relationship?
The emperor and the king can no longer be measured by the standards of "people".
He said lightly, "Your Majesty still doesn't know."
Li Chuntie had already put life and death aside, and the only person he cared about had arranged for his old friend to put him out of the matter.
This neither salty nor light attitude completely angered Zhu Liye.
He took off the purple dragon crown and threw it on the ground, "Okay, I will tell you another thing. When you went to the East China Sea to quell the chaos, Qi Tianxiu was raped in the mansion and committed suicide with hatred. Afterwards, I killed Jingyuan Bo’s family of 36 to avenge you. Do you still remember?"
Li Chuntie was finally moved.
His life was worthy of heaven and earth, but he was ashamed of one person. He was the only confidant in his life. When he was in a down-and-out Jiangnan and was discouraged and prepared to commit suicide, it was Miss Qi who gave him a meal and pulled him back from the edge of the cliff. Later, he accompanied King Yong to fight in the north and north, and this Miss Qi was never left. The only time he separated was forever.
For this reason, Li Chuntie never married another person in his life.
"It's all over, why did Your Majesty mention this?"
Zhu Liye said, "Actually, I went out of the palace to visit privately and went out to drink. Jingyuan Bo was just a follower and just kept the door for me."
boom!
Li Chuntie heard this and fired his head and smashed the stone in front of him into powder with one punch. Because of this, he blamed himself for twenty years, but he never thought that the truth was like this.
He looked at Zhu Liye with cold eyes.
In his eyes, he is no longer the Emperor of Ming, nor the King of Yong, nor even a person, he is just a beast.
In the other courtyard, there was a restriction set up by the Scare God Array, but his realm was limited, but he still could not cover up his murderous intent.
Zhu Liye disagreed.
"It is said in the world that you are a sword saint with extraordinary martial arts, but in my eyes, it is vulnerable."
Twenty years ago, his martial arts had already entered the Tongxiang. After twenty years of practice, he had already touched the gate of the way of heaven. He was only one martial arts scripture to get away from the way of immortality.
As long as he obtains the Martial Arts, he can spy on the secrets of heaven.
His ambitions are not only as great as those of the eternal emperor.
But the only emperor in the ages.
What's more, there is a shocking formation here, and even the messenger of Shujian Mountain returned in disgrace. He didn't take it seriously at all, just a sword saint.
As long as it is not the Supreme Heavenly Way, he will not take anyone seriously.
cough!
Pooh!
A mouthful of thick phlegm ejaculated from Li Chuntie's mouth and spit it on Zhu Liye's face.
He cursed, "Beasts in clothes, shameless villains, turtle and bastards, the most unjust king in the ages, the world is in the world. With you as an emperor, he will be paralyzed for eight lifetimes!"
Li Chuntie used his internal force and shouted out almost in a roaring manner.
This sentence floats in the palace.
Standing outside the door, Duke Gao of Lu and Duke Gao were so scared that he shook all over and almost urinated in his pants. However, both of them were old friends and quickly adjusted their mentality.
"Hey, Duke, have you heard any movement?"
"It was a strong wind just now, and my eyes were blurred. I didn't hear it clearly. Maybe it was a night owl calling."
Eunuch Gao sighed, "Hey, I'm older, my eyes are blurred and my ears are back. But I want to serve His Majesty for a few more years. I have to go to the imperial doctor to ask for some herbs tomorrow."
Not far away, an imperial guard heard it and couldn't help laughing. The voice was very small, but Eunuch Gao turned around and said to the leader, "Pull it out and chop it."
