Chapter 144 The Disgusting Thing That Gains Experience
"Help me out, hehe, I am bound all over, and the burden of the whole country is on me, how can I be freed?"

Wanli dragged his sick leg, lying limply on the chair next to him, touched the flagon on the table next to it, there was still a little wine left, picked it up and poured it into his mouth.

According to the records of those civil officials in the history books, Wanli did not go to court for many years because he was addicted to wine and sex, and he only knew how to have fun all day long, and he didn't want to go out of the palace.

Slack in government, greedy, fatuous, inaction, these are the evaluations of Wanli by the literati of the Ming Dynasty, and their group of literati simply wrote Wanli as a useless and stupid king.

And is this really the case?That's not necessarily true.

Although Wanli lived in the harem all year round and did not go to court, he did not ignore the government affairs like his grandfather Jiajing. Wanli just did not hold court meetings, but he still handled state affairs in the harem every day. command results.

Since Wanli can take care of the government, why did those civil servants desperately catch him and hack him out?
Because of profit!
Since Hai Rui in the Jiajing Dynasty, the civil servants of Ming Dynasty have acquired a famous new posture, that is, admonishing with death and fighting with death.

As a civil servant, I will always put forward various suggestions to the emperor for self-cultivation and management of the country, and no matter what trivial matters, I will let the emperor follow my standards.

If the emperor listens to me, that's fine. The emperor is so wise that I taught him. I am a generation of virtuous ministers and a generation of famous teachers, and I will surely be passed down through the ages.

If the emperor doesn't listen, that's fine, then I'll go outside the palace gate to die and remonstrate to the death. After a few times of death remonstrance, all the scholars in the world will know my strength of character, and even if I die, then I will still be a famous official and an official of history. ah!

This group of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty simply regarded their own emperor as a big boss who wanted to make a name for himself.

But what did Wanli do? Wanli actually hid in the palace and couldn’t come out. How could this work? scold you!
Therefore, Wanli became enmity with the group of righteous gentlemen under him.

Then why did Wanli never go to court?
We just said that it was because of the "national dispute". The ministers suggested that the eldest son of the emperor should be the crown prince, while Wanli wanted to make the son of his favorite concubine Zheng Gui the crown prince. This is only one of the reasons, and there is another The reason is that Wanli has a very serious leg disease.

This point is not recorded in the history books, because the group of literati would definitely not write that their emperor was unable to go to court because of a leg problem, and his emperor must be addicted to wine and sex. Only the absurdity of the emperor can reflect our nobility.

How serious is Wanli's leg disease? According to the time when the bones of the modern Emperor Wanli were excavated, the bones of Wanli's feet had been deformed, and walking in life would be seriously affected.

If he has a leg problem, Wanli must be unwilling to go to court. One reason is that his legs hurt and it is inconvenient to walk, and the other reason is that his image is affected.

My majestic son of heaven, could it be that you let me limping in front of all civil and military officials when I went to court, that would be too shameful.

And how much leg disease affects the image of an emperor, you can refer to Li Chengqian, the prince of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty.

In history, Li Chengqian suffered from leg problems, which made Wei Wang Li Tai think that he had a chance to win the throne, and also made Li Chengqian give up on himself, and finally played a stupid game.

For these reasons, Wanli has not been in court for almost 30 years, but the group of scholars in Daming don’t care. If you don’t come out and let me brush, I will hack you. If you come out, I will continue to hack.

"How to get rid of it, of course, let you do whatever you want. You can go to the court if you want to, and you can't go if you don't want to. Let whoever you want to be the prince be the prince. Don't you think that an emperor is in your current position? Tired?"

Asking the person next to him to put down his sedan chair, Li Yi sat up and looked at Zhu Yijun.

"Aggrieved, hahahahaha, aggrieved, sitting in this position, I can't help myself a long time ago, am I going to throw away my foundation of the Ming Dynasty? Am I going to become a foolish emperor in the history books? The world is not my world, how can I do whatever I want?"

As if hearing a big joke, Zhu Yijun looked at Li Yi mockingly.

"Hmph, the literati in your Daming are a bunch of bastards. If you don't hit them, they will kick their noses in the face. One day, they will stand on your head and shit. If you treat them harder, they will kill them one by one. You are a good boy, there are many people in the world who want to be officials, and if you dismiss anyone who doesn’t listen to you, they will naturally accept it.”

Li Yi admired the strength of character of the Ming Dynasty, but what he admired was the strength of character of the royal family and the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, not the disgusting hypocrites of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yi dared to say that if all the civil servants who came to the palace to knock on the gate were arrested, one would count as one, and absolutely none of them were wrongly arrested.

"It's too whimsical, how can this work, do I want to make this big chaos tomorrow?"

"Why is the world in chaos? Think about your Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di. Look at the civil servants under their hands who dare to be as chattering as they are now. He might be impatient."

"This....."

Hearing Li Yi's words, Wanli was a little moved. It would be great if he could do that, but he didn't know if the stranger in front of him could really help him. By the way, this guy is a stranger. I don't know yet. Who is he?
Wanli's confused mind suddenly came to his senses. He stared at Li Yi vigilantly, and said:
"Who the hell are you and how did you break into my palace? Could it be that you are a spy of those civil servants who came to test my words?"

"Who will work for those idiots? I'm here to help you out."

Li Yi snorted disdainfully, a group of moths who only know their names would be useless if they died, and Lao Zhu is the best, let them go to Lao Zhu's fault and try.

"Liberation, you want to assassinate me, hehe, sure enough, those people really can't stand it anymore, is it true that after I die, you will immediately establish a prince according to your wishes, and then raise a new obedient emperor?"

Facing death, Zhu Yijun's hands trembled a little. He was a little scared, but so what? Could it be that he gave in to this group of literati and went back to obediently be their mouthpiece?

It would be better to die!
"Whoever said that liberation means death, can't I come to help you solve your difficulties? I am not an ordinary person. It is more than enough to help you suppress these civil servants of the Ming Dynasty."

Opening his void door, Li Yi pointed to the inside and invited Zhu Yijun to take a look.

Seeing this strange scene, Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and asked Li Yi:
"Why are you helping me?"

"Why, you'll know when you go and have a look."

Asking his guards to lift up the sedan chair, Li Yi went in first.
