Chapter 36 Decisive Battle in the Forbidden City
Emperor Wanli was so angry that his face turned distorted, and he seemed a little ferocious: "Ye Xiaotian, your life is hanging in my hands, you dare to speak nonsense! Could it be...you dare to rebel?"
"If the emperor wants to kill me, I will be in a different position immediately. I am already dead, so how can I rebel?"
Ye Xiaotian explained calmly, and then he changed his words: "However, the emperor should remember that the people who led out of the mountains have not yet received enough education. There is no court or emperor in my heart. For me, they are only grateful for my help, so they obey my orders, not because I am the chief of Tongren Mansion appointed by the court. Therefore, if I die, I can be sure that they will rise up for me!"
Wanli laughed to the sky: "For you? Just because you want to have a woman who should not be owned by you, they will declare war on me for you and hit stones with eggs?"
Ye Xiaotian stared at Wanli with a loud voice: "Yes! So the emperor asked me whether I want wealth and authority or a woman. I can tell the emperor that I want it! If the emperor provokes a war for a woman, even if the war can be extinguished in a flash, the emperor will be cursed by all the people in the world. For a woman, I will not hesitate to touch the stone, but no subordinate raises objections! And..."
Ye Xiaotian proudly raised his chest: "And, I will be praised by all the people in the world! Because not every man can be as man as me, and he is willing to be the enemy of the supreme world for a woman!"
Ye Xiaotian took a steadily forward, and the iron shackles under his feet sounded "knock". Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "Is the emperor willing to fulfill his humble minister?"
Emperor Wanli was struck by lightning. He slowly took two steps back and sat down on the dragon throne weakly. He was different from his fate! The same thing. He was a foolish monarch, and others were a hero.
He did not doubt Ye Xiaotian's words. He believed that once this really hit, what Ye Xiaotian said would definitely come true.
Wanli didn't have any doubts about what Ye Xiaotian said that once he died, his subordinates would rise up. In fact, it was not just Ye Xiaotian. If most of the chieftains in Guizhou were raised up, the local people would obey their orders.
The ignorant people's awe of chieftains far exceeds their awe of the court. If this is not the case, why should the court adopt a policy of appeasement and appeasement against the chieftains in Guizhou? Anyway, the people have the court in their hearts, just send troops to accept them and set up officials. Those chieftains cannot be supported and followed.
At this moment, Wanli suddenly felt a bitter and sad feeling. He envied Ye Xiaotian very much. He was the emperor, but he was far less free than Ye Xiaotian. He really wanted to change with Ye Xiaotian and live a good life for him.
But can this be his own? For a moment, Wanli's heart was filled with endless fatigue, bitterness, helplessness, emptiness, and... disgust, disgust for himself, disgust for the identity of the emperor!

"I am the daughter of Xia Tusi of Hongfeng Lake, Guiyang. My mother was ordered to be the edict, and my mother and I went to Beijing to thank us. So far, I have not received the emperor's will to return to our hometown. But I have not thought much about it..."
Xia Yingying told Shaanxi Road Censor Li Boxian in tears, saying: "That day, my mother did not come out of the palace. A father-in-law came to the palace and said that my mother was seriously ill. I drove into the palace because I was worried about my mother's illness..."
On the day Xia Yingying drove into the palace, Censor Li happened to be a witness, and the third lady gave him a "flying man in the air". Of course, she still remembers this freshly. When Xia Yingying said that, the two of them were invisible. I knew that what Xia Yingying said was true.
For a moment, the loyal and upright Censor Li was so embarrassed that his face was flushed. Apart from his tireless pursuit of fame, there was nothing to criticize. He was a very loyal person. As the emperor's subject, even he felt ashamed of doing such an unsatisfactory thing.
Xia Yingying continued, "That day, Brother Xiaotian suddenly appeared in the capital. He said that he had led all the people from the mountain to the mountain under the imperial edict, but was excluded by the chieftains from all sides. Later, he even used assassins to assassinate Brother Xiaotian.
Brother Xiaotian fought back with helplessness and killed the bad chieftain who wanted to harm him. The Futai Lord thought it was important, so he deported him to Beijing and handed him over to the emperor to make a decision. That day, the emperor happened to send a general named Shu to my house to propose marriage, but Brother Xiaotian refused.
Originally, Brother Xiaotian said that he was forced to fight back, and that the bad chieftains ignored the court first, so the court would never severely punish him, so I just told me to be at ease. Unexpectedly, the next day after Brother Xiaotian refused the emperor's matchmaker, a group of big guards came and captured Brother Xiaotian..."
Xia Yingying said that tears were filled with eyelashes. Even though Censor Li had always been square, he had the urge to raise his hand to wipe her tears. Xia Yingying took out a red brocade cover wedding letter from her sleeve and handed it to Li Boxian and said, "Daguan, look, this is the wedding letter from her brother Xiaotian!"
Li Boxian quickly came over to look around, and Xia Yingying continued: "Although he comes from the southwest border and is not as polite as the women in the Central Plains, he also understands the reason why one woman is not as good as a husband. Since she has promised it to the Ye family, how can she marry the Zhu family again?
People also know that as long as they agree to follow the emperor, Brother Xiaotian will be safe and sound, but they would rather die with Brother Xiaotian than do that self-destruction. Today, I, Xia Yingying, came to the palace gate just to show my ambitions with death!"
Xia Yingying said, taking out a short knife from her sleeve like a magic trick, pointing the tip of the knife at her heart, and saying sadly: "Anyway, the emperor wants to kill someone, Brother Xiaotian will definitely die. It's better to take a step first. Wait for Brother Xiaotian on the road to the underworld and be a couple of ghosts together!"
Li Boxian was reading the wedding book. When he saw that the matchmaker was actually the third Mongolian lady, his face turned redder. The emperor threw his face onto the grassland. It was really... As the saying goes: What should I do if the Lord humiliated his ministers and died, the Lord worried about his ministers and was tired, and the Lord looked for his humiliation? Let's embarrass him.
Li Boxian thought angrily, and suddenly saw Xia Yingying pulling out a dagger and pointing it at her heart. Li Boxian's scare was really extraordinary. If Xia Yingying really died, even after his hard advice, the emperor would repent. This matter would be irreversible.
Li Boxian grabbed Xia Yingying's wrist and exclaimed: "Miss can't die, she must never die! This official will make the decision for you. You will definitely keep your husband safe. Don't seek a short opinion of yourself!"
Yingying is not a scheming girl. There is no question about things like Zhili and Strategy, but what she said this time is 90% true. With the skills she has learned when she was teasing her grandfather, uncle and brother since childhood, the half-true and half-false performance actually made Yu Shi Li firmly believe it.
With the belief of being responsible for the emperor, he must not let Yingying die. Once Yingying dies, the dignified emperor will kill men and women in order to force the women to die. This reputation will be so bad. As the censor in question, he is also a serious dereliction of duty.
Li Boxian grabbed Yingying's wrist tightly, grabbed the sharp knife from her heart, and said seriously: "Girls don't have to be desperate and sad. With Li here, you will definitely be safe for your husband and wife!"
Yingying sobbed and said, "The sky is great, the earth is the biggest, can you really help me?"
"able!"
Li Boxian answered decisively and held Yingying's wrist and said, "The Censorate is not far away. Please come with me, girl!"
At this time, Li Boxian no longer cared about letting his colleagues know and participate in this matter. He was the first advocate, and he was the only one who was destined to be famous in history. He was afraid that his colleagues would know what to do. One more person would be stronger. Just as he was the only one who could combine the power of the censors to stop the emperor from moving further and further on the road of sin!
Li Boxian pulled Xia Yingying away in a hurry, but forgot that there was another Shandong inspector Liu Huanyi staring at him next to him. Liu Huanyi was standing in the distance and watching. Seeing the woman dressed as a married woman, she was sometimes angry and sometimes she lowered her head. Li Jingshi was sometimes angry and sometimes blushed. He only made Liu Hengyi so anxious that he scratched his head.
Now that the newlyweds took out a knife, Censor Liu was not sure what happened. He was even more anxious. However, as a Qingliu, Censor Liu still has integrity. Censor Li has obviously "accepted orders" in this "business". Why did he have the nerve to rush up to grab the "commission" with shamelessness?
Seeing Li Boxian pulling Xia Yingying away in a hurry, Censor Liu could only pursue him with regret and wanted to chase him, but he could not avoid the barrier of self-esteem. He is also a Censor of Supervision, and he is nearly 60 years old. Li Boxian is only a junior in front of him, so why are you embarrassed?
While Censor Liu was hesitating, someone suddenly smiled and said, "Old Taoist Master, what are you looking at here?"
Liu Jingshi turned his head and saw it, and he met, and he was acquaintance! Tongzhengsi Youtong political party Tenghui. Speaking of which, they were both Jinshi in the same year, so they were naturally familiar with each other. However, their career paths were different. Now, as Tongzhengsi Youtongzheng, Dang Tenghui, has already ranked in the fourth rank, and he is still a seventh rank official. But if he really wants to take power and status, he may have even better experience.
Fourth-rank official? After counting the entire Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of people, but there were only 116 censors across the country. That was a special official with real power and low power: a rumor.
Therefore, the old Dang Tenghui, who was the same year, could not be entitled to the greatness of the Censor Liu, and he still had to respectfully call him the old Taoist priest. This old Taoist priest did not point out his family, but a respectful title for the Censor. Because the Ming Dynasty supervision system divided the country into thirteen roads, each road had a Censor, so he was called "Chief".
How could Liu Hengyi say that he was jealous of Jingshi Li got a good "business"? He hurriedly said, "Nothing, nothing, why is the boss of the Party so idle?"
Dang Tenghui smiled and said, "There are a few important memorials that Dang personally sent to the palace." Dang Tenghui said, then stroked his beard and looked at Xia Yingying, who had only a red figure in the distance and sighed: "This girl is really amazing. She has the courage to show her ambition in front of the dowry palace!"
When the old Censor Liu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Why, Master Dang knows why that girl appeared outside the Meridian Gate in a dowry?"
Dang Tenghui said, "I know a little bit. This girl..." Dang Tenghui picked up the words that could be said to Old Censor Liu, and bowed and said, "Dang must enter the palace, so I won't talk much. I will invite the old Taoist priest to go to the mansion to drink another day."
After Dang Tenghui said that, he walked towards the palace. Liu Hengyi looked at his back and muttered to himself: "So that's it! So that's it!"
He finally understood why Li Boxian was so excited just now. The Censor was an official who existed to gain reputation. If he wanted to get the emperor, and if he had the opportunity to be the main attacker, the opportunity was hard to come by.
He has been the censor all his life and is about to retire and return home, but he does not have such a good opportunity yet. Face, reputation, reputation, face, Yushi Liu fought in his heart, struggled fiercely for a while, and stomped his feet heavily!
"I didn't find out from you, why can't I impeach first?" Liu Jingshi lifted his robe and tucked it hard into his waist, then rushed to Zuoshun Gate with great strides!
