There must be something wrong with He Yong... Li Qing didn't dare to neglect, he quickly sat up, put on his shoes, and walked out without even having time to put on his robe.
"I'm coming……!"
Li Qing opened the door and saw Xiao Hengzi. He felt a little angry while relaxing.
"It's so early in the morning, why don't you let people sleep?"
"..." Xiao Hengzi, the palm eunuch, was afraid of Li Qing, a person respected by even the emperor, and he did not dare to neglect him.
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that Li Qipin was no ordinary person.
"Sir, it's almost the end of Chenshi!" Xiao Hengzi smiled apologetically, "Our family is on an errand, so I hope you can forgive me, sir."
He had been here for half an hour, and he was really forced to do anything, so he knocked on the door vigorously.
If it were anyone else, he would have forced the door down or jumped over the courtyard wall.
But when Li Qing's rebellion against officials caused a sensation, he was really afraid that Li Qing would label him as a trespasser and chop him up on the pretext.
Having learned from the past, Xiao Hengzi did not dare to be presumptuous.
Li Qing said in surprise: "The emperor is looking for me?"
"Yes." Xiao Hengzi nodded, "The emperor asked you to pay homage in the morning."
"What kind of afternoon meeting are you having?" Li Qing was even more surprised: Didn't he say everything he should have said yesterday?
Xiao Hengzi was completely speechless: You are an official of the Ming Dynasty, a minister of the emperor, and you are receiving a salary from the court. How can you say such shameless words?
"Uh... that's it," Xiao Hengzi took two steps forward and whispered, "The emperor asked you to go to court because he wants you to explain in front of all the officials that the emperor is not coming back."
He said sarcastically: "There are some things that are difficult for the Emperor to say. Do you understand, sir?"
"I understand." Li Qing nodded, "I will go to the afternoon."
Xiao Hengzi said worriedly: "It's not long before the noon morning. Sir, please pay attention to the time."
"Ok, I know."
~
Li Qing washed himself, put on his official robe and rushed to the palace without any delay.
He was relaxed and not rushed at all.
With the imperial seal, the sinner's edict, and the thousands of grassland tribes who came to seek refuge, even if they couldn't deceive those people, they still had nothing to say.
It's time for this turbulent court situation to calm down... Li Qing looked pleased.
He still has a lot to do, and the problems left by the orthodox dynasty have not yet been completely resolved.
Li Qing rushed to the Fengtian Palace and followed Zhu Qiyu.
When the emperor comes to court, all the officials salute.
After the ceremony between the emperor and his ministers, Li Qing was called to the imperial court.
"Li Aiqing, all the ministers are very worried about the Supreme Emperor. Please explain the situation of this group in detail." Zhu Qiyu said calmly.
"I obey." Li Qing turned around, held his hands in front of everyone, and began to grin.
Barabara...
It was okay at first, but soon some people raised doubts. These people were not as innocent as Shi Biao, and how could they be so easy to fool?
Li Qing said: "This is the fact. The Emperor gave me the Emperor's Xinbao and brought it back to the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to prove his determination. In addition, the Emperor also wrote a letter detailing the reasons why he did not come back. These The emperor knows it."
The ministers looked at Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's true. The Supreme Emperor feels guilty, and that's why he doesn't want to come back."
He directly presented the evidence, which was far less effective than Li Qing's impassioned presentation.
Xiao Hengzi opened the wooden box on the imperial desk, took out the Emperor's Xinbao, and walked down the jade steps holding it with both hands: "My lords, please take a look."
Starting from the six books of Shangshu, every time Xiao Hengzi walked in front of someone, he would stay for a while and let the person see it clearly before letting the next person see it.
After half an hour, Xiao Hengzi walked to the imperial case with the imperial seal and carefully placed it back in the wooden box.
Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers and said warmly: "Did you see clearly?"
"Go back to the emperor and see clearly."
"Clear."
A few voices sounded, but more people were confused.
It's so pitiful that they haven't seen it before!
But looking at the craftsmanship and the weight of time, including the many details, it definitely doesn't look like it was temporarily carved.
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly, then raised his chin.
Xiao Hengzi understood, and held up Zhu Qizhen's edict of sinners for all the ministers to watch one by one.
Yu Qian's eyes turned red after watching it, Wang Zhi shed tears after watching it, and Hu Xi burst into tears after watching it...
This edict of sin touched the softness of their hearts.
Since Hu Ming, there is no one who has not cried after watching it. As for whether it is sincere or not, it is open to question.
Li Qing was secretly proud: He didn't even look at who wrote the manuscript?
Cry for me...!
Zhu Qizhen's edict of sin is really full of emotion.
Not many people have met Yu Xi, but Zhu Qizhen's ink marks are not unfamiliar to many ministers.
In particular, Zhu Qizhen was full of shame towards his ancestors and regretful that he missed the Ming army, but he did not mention a word about the civil servants who died because of him;
Generals, nobles, and ordinary soldiers were all mentioned, but civil servants were not mentioned.
This is very Zhu Qizhen!
The officials no longer doubted the authenticity of the content, but many civil servants were angry.
Isn’t the life of us civil servants life?
Ministers, ministers, bachelors... Dozens of them have died, and you haven't even mentioned a word about them!
Li Qing looked regretful and lamented: "I have tried hard to persuade the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor has made up his mind. He only said that the emperor should govern the country well, and that all my lords should assist the government well, let..."
After choking up tactically, Li Qingcai continued: "Let the court stop focusing on him and put the Ming Dynasty, the country, the country, and the people of the Ming Dynasty first. He...he doesn't want to delay the Ming Dynasty anymore."
"Your Majesty..." Hu Xi howled, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.
The ministers responded one after another, hugging their heads and crying, with tears flowing down their cheeks.
Li Qing was speechless: No...he is not dead yet! gòйЪ.ōΓg
There was no way, the bureaucracy in this era was too heavy, so he howled a few times.
Zhu Qiyu also looked sad to express his longing for his eldest brother.
After a while, it was already noon.
Zhu Qiyu said sadly: "The Emperor has worked so hard, and we must not let him down. My dear friends, please don't work hard lately. Please have some in the palace at noon."
As he said that, he stood up in despair, "Xiao Hengzi, help me go slowly."
"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body..." Xiao Hengzi cried and helped Zhu Qiyu out of the hall.
What is this?
Li Qing was speechless: Is the banquet now open?
After this, Zhu Qizhen was almost buried.
First cry, then eat, all the chores are a one-stop process.
However, there is nothing wrong with Zhu Qiyu doing this.
Zhu Qizhen issued a self-incriminating edict, allowing Zhu Qiyu to become emperor more legitimately. It was of course necessary to win over the ministers while the iron was hot.
The ministers also happily went to the appointment. The emperor's show of goodwill was a favor and a good thing. Of course, he had to give face.
As for the Supreme Emperor... I cried, what else do you want?
In particular, Zhu Qizhen's culpable edict never mentioned anything about civil servants, which made most civil servants lean towards Zhu Qiyu.
They finally figured out that even if Zhu Qizhen came back, even if he continued to support his rise to power, his group would not be able to please them.
In that case, why bother?
…
At the banquet, all the officials toasted and drank together, chatting and laughing, it was like another scene.
Li Qing didn't care about that and ate so much that no one at the table could compete with him. What was even more outrageous was that Li Qing even stood up to pick up the food.
The banquet had obviously been prepared very early in the morning, and the food was particularly sumptuous. Li Qing had not eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, so he was caught.
After eating and drinking, Li Qing wiped his lips and left humming a tune.
This time it can be regarded as a period of peace and quiet. At least the ministers will never mention the matter of welcoming the Emperor back for a long time or even forever.
The next step is to develop internal affairs and continue to do the unfinished business of the orthodox dynasty.
However, it will be relatively easier, at least you don’t have to run around the world anymore.
He has been abroad several times this year, which is really hard work.
"Oh my, I have to take a good rest for a few days this time and treat myself well." Li Qing took a pleasant walk and hummed to himself.
"Sir, please stay."
Li Qing turned around and saw Yu Qian, stopped and waited for him.
Yu Qian trotted up and said, "Go sit at my house for a while."
"Sure." Li Qing nodded: "Okay, I have to worry about it again."
He knew that Yu Qian must be asking about Zhu Qizhen.
How to say this kind of thing? Li Qing couldn't stand it, but he understood it.
He comes from a later generation, but Yu Qian is an out-and-out local, and they have different concepts of acceptance.
After all, Yu Qian was reading Confucian classics.
The two have certain differences in their views. Yu Qian is not pedantic, foolish and loyal. There is no doubt that the people are more important in his heart, but it is too exaggerated to say that he only recognizes the people and not the emperor.
Generally speaking, Yu Qian has a certain degree of foolishness and loyalty.
And Li Qing... from the perspective of this era, he is called deviant.
