Vol 2 Chapter 1182 Your Majesty, walk slowly
Chapter 1182 His Majesty walk slowly
On the seventh day of September, Mu Ying’s team was only about fifty miles away from the capital, and they could reach the capital by tomorrow at the latest.
Early this morning, Li Xin went out in his own carriage and went straight to the imperial city.
The rule of the Dajin court is to have a small court meeting once every three days and a large court meeting once every ten days. What is more interesting is that most of the things that are really put forward at the big court meeting have results when they are put forward, and three days. A small court meeting with only a small number of ministers involved can often decide major events.
However, this situation only occurs when the emperor is in power. Now that the emperor of Yankang is very young, all the important affairs of the government are from the Shangshutai, so the small court meeting once every three days does not exist, only the grand court meeting once every ten days. , still on schedule.
However, Emperor Yankang seems to be in poor health for the past six months. In recent months, he has been absent from the Great Court meeting many times because of his illness. Fortunately, this young emperor does not care about any errands, so it does not matter if he is missing.
The seventh day of the first lunar month was not the time for the great court meeting, so Li Xin entered the imperial city directly from Yonganmen, and came to the Weiyang Palace without any hindrance along the way.
At the entrance of Weiyang Palace, Li Xin stopped and looked up at this magnificent palace.
During the ten years of the Taikang Dynasty, Li Xin did not know how many times he went in and out of the Weiyang Palace, and even in this emperor’s bedroom, he and the emperor Taikang negotiated together and moved from Changle Palace to Weiyang Palace.
After Emperor Taikang passed away, Li Xin seldom went into or out of Weiyang Palace. In Yankang Dynasty, although he occupied the capital, he rarely came to the imperial city. Except for the day he entered the palace, he entered Weiyang Palace. never came again.
Li Xin was in a trance in front of the Weiyang Palace for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that Xiao Huai, a great **** in red, had already stood beside him respectfully, with a respectful expression: “Do you want to face the Holy Spirit when you come here? ”
Li Xin nodded silently and said, “Dispel all the palace servants in Weiyang Palace, within a stick of incense, there can’t be any more palace maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace. I have some personal matters to discuss with the emperor.”
Li Xin’s face was calm: “If there are any palace servants hidden in this palace, there will be no living people.”
As a powerful official, Li Xin learned from the experience of many powerful officials in history. For example, he could not go to the palace alone to see the emperor, in case he would be stabbed to death by the little eunuchs beside the emperor.
Xiao Huai looked respectful: “Slave obeys.”
After a while, Xiao Huai had brought out all the palace servants in Weiyang Palace. Li Xin waved his hand and followed the dozens of personal guards who entered the palace behind him, and immediately guarded the gate of Weiyang Palace. With his hands on his back, the governor stepped into the Weiyang Palace.
Soon, Li Xin was in the bedroom of Weiyang Palace and saw the Emperor Yankang in a light blue uniform.
Emperor Yankang was studying at the moment. When he saw Li Xin walking in, he didn’t panic, just quietly put down the scroll and looked up at Li Xin: “Uncle is here to kill me today?”
Li Xin shook his head slightly, found a chair in the dormitory, sat opposite the emperor, with a calm tone: “I told you many years ago that as long as you don’t kill yourself, I will give you a way to live.”
“I am the one who speaks.”
Emperor Yankang had no expression on his face, but his slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed his fearful heart.
He swallowed and looked at Li Xin boldly.
“That uncle is here today…?”
Li Xin sat on the chair and smiled at the emperor in front of him: “You don’t need to be so nervous, you call me uncle, we are relatives, I will not harm you.”
“I came to see you in the palace today, but I have to explain some things to you in advance, so as not to cause conflicts at that time, and everyone’s faces are not very good-looking.”
Li Xin smiled: “I heard that His Majesty has rarely attended court in recent months.”
Emperor Yankang was still a young man after all. In the face of Li Xin’s pressure, he was able to hold on to his strength at first, but now he was exhausted.
“I…and there is no way to manage the government, what’s the difference if I can’t go to the court?”
“You feel uncomfortable.”
Li Xin touched his palm with a smile: “I still remember the years when you were under house arrest in Shanyin by Emperor Yuan Zhao, and all you thought about was survival, even if I brought you to the capital later, you told me that you wanted to survive. ”
“But now, you have been an emperor for two years, and you are gradually reluctant to take this position, so now you feel a little uncomfortable, don’t you?”
Emperor Yankang’s face turned pale, but he lowered his head and did not speak.
“The eldest brother is dead, uncle… will you let me go?”
“If your brother could listen to me, he should still be the Supreme Being of Ninety-five by now.”
Li Xin slowly exhaled and said, “Forget it, I won’t tell you these old things, you may not be able to understand. I came to the palace today to explain some things to you.”
With that said, Governor Li stood up from the chair and put his hands on his back: “Tomorrow, the general of Longwuwei, Mu Ying, will return from the north victorious, and the civil and military people of the entire dynasty should all go to welcome General Mu, your majesty will also Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go.”
Having said this, Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, “However, after General Mu returned to Beijing from the northern Xinjiang, I forcibly suppressed the general trend for two years, and I couldn’t hold it any longer.”
“When His Majesty was in Shanyin, he should have read history books. Even if he hadn’t read it in Shanyin, he should have read a lot during the two years in the capital.”
“Throughout the ages, there has been no one who has not conquered the capital for two years, but has not committed any crimes against the imperial court.”
“After all, the throne of the emperor is at your fingertips. Unless you are a fool, no one can resist sitting up.”
Having said this, Li Xin pointed to his nose and smiled: “I am the first fool.”
“Now, I can’t hold back this rolling trend.”
Li Xin looked up at the Emperor Yankang and asked, “Can Your Majesty understand?”
The young emperor sat blankly on the dragon couch, and after a long silence, he nodded his head: “I…Understood.”
He looked up at Li Xin with great difficulty, and his voice was obscure: “Uncle, can you keep me and my mother alive?”
Li Xin smiled: “In ancient times, no one dared to risk the world to kill the old emperor. As long as your majesty is willing to cooperate, your majesty will become the king of the new dynasty after the event, and will be enshrined by the new dynasty forever.”
“Your Majesty’s mother will also live with His Majesty, no one will harm your mother and son.”
Emperor Yankang was not a precocious man, but he was a man who cherished his life. After hearing Li Xin’s words, he hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
“That being the case, if Uncle has something to do, I…will definitely cooperate.”
Emperor Yankang nodded and agreed, then things would be much easier to handle, Li Xin sat down again, and said, “Tomorrow morning, the general of Longwuwei, Mu Ying, will lead his troops to triumph from the northern border, and please ask your majesty at that time. Lead the civil and military officials out of the city to meet them.”
“As for the next thing, I will make arrangements for His Majesty.”
Emperor Yankang nodded silently while listening to Li Xin’s words, indicating that he had written it down.
After the two had spoken for about half an hour, Li Xin got up to leave, and Emperor Yankang personally sent Li Xin to the gate of Weiyang Palace.
Li Xin stopped and saluted the emperor: “Your Majesty doesn’t need to send each other, this minister will retire.”
Emperor Yankang looked up at Li Xin, then heaved a long sigh, and bowed his hands to Li Xin.
“Your Majesty… walk slowly.”
Li Xin was stunned when he heard the words, then shook his head slightly and turned away.
