Super Smuggling System

Hearing Zhang Yan's question about the severe drought in Shaanxi, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty directly apologized: "Your servant is incompetent."

After finishing speaking, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty looked at Li Mu in unison, with a playful smile in their eyes.

For the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, although the queen mother was there to mediate, it was impossible for them to have a good impression of Li Mu. In addition, the officials and Jin Yiwei were born enemies, and it was even more impossible for Zhang Yan to dismiss the matter just now with a few words.

no way.

Seeing that Zhang Yan brought up the severe drought in Shaanxi again, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty simply said that they were incompetent and quit.

Didn't Li Mu just say that this is a trivial matter, and the Manchao Civil and Military Forces also wanted to see how such a trivial matter could be solved without them?

They don't believe that a commander of Jinyiwei can conjure food, even if this commander of Jinyiwei is very special, he has the duty of carrying the photo of the late emperor to supervise the country.

Zhang Yan was obviously taken aback by the straightforward admission of incompetence by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then smiled helplessly, knowing that these ministers were still angry at what Li Mu said just now.

No longer looking at these ministers, Zhang Yan looked at his lover, and asked expectantly: "Li Aiqing, can you do something?"

Although it would be too irresponsible to leave this matter to his lover, Zhang Yan is still full of confidence in Li Mu's magic.

Even if Li Mu said that the people in Shaanxi would have food to eat tomorrow, she would choose to believe it.

After all, for a person who can disappear from her arms, it shouldn't be too difficult to conjure food.

Zhang Yan didn't know that her trust in Li Mu was almost blind.

Li Mu didn't pay much attention when he saw Manchao's civil and military eyes, and said to Zhang Yan who was sitting on the phoenix chair, "I will report to the Empress Dowager, the severe drought in Shaanxi, this is a natural disaster, presumably God is dissatisfied with the new emperor, I feel that the new emperor can issue an imperial edict to pray for God's forgiveness."

It had nothing to do with the severe drought in Shaanxi for the new emperor to issue an edict of guilt.

At the same time, the Edict of Guilt has another purpose, which is to deepen the impression in the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty that the Chongzhen Dynasty under Zhu Cihong's power will be full of natural disasters.

For this reason, whenever there is a natural disaster in the future, Li Mu intends to issue an edict of guilt in the name of Zhu Cihong.

I was thinking about what good solution Li Mu would have, but I didn't expect that the new emperor Zhu Cihong would issue an edict of sin against himself, which made Zhang Yan a little bit dumbfounded.

Just about to speak, after a second thought, he asked suspiciously: "Is Li Aiqing okay? As long as the new emperor orders himself to punish himself, the severe drought in Shaanxi can be solved?"

Perhaps Zhang Yan really regarded Li Mu as a god sent by the heavens, so she asked such a question.

"No." Li Mu flatly denied Zhang Yan's question.

The sinful edict was only used by Li Mu to reduce the new emperor's sense of identity among the people. How could a single sinful edict solve the severe drought in Shaanxi? It was purely a dream.

"Alas." Hope was shattered, Zhang Yan couldn't say anything about Li Mu, so she could only sigh helplessly and said, "Then why did Li Aiqing want to punish herself?"

Li Mu explained: "The Empress Dowager, the Edict of Guilt has existed since ancient times. Since ancient times, whenever there was a catastrophe in the world, the emperor would issue an edict of sin. , let the common people not be disappointed with the imperial court."

"Although the imperial edict cannot solve the severe drought in Shaanxi and let the people have food in their hands, it conveys the imperial court's attitude towards disasters."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu glanced at Zhang Yan who was thinking, and gave him a firm look.

Sitting on the phoenix chair, Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, and there were some changes. After all, a dead horse is a living horse doctor. After receiving Li Mu's eyes, she asked the civil and military officials of His Highness: "What do you think?"

Faced with Zhang Yan's inquiry at this time, Huang Liji stood up again. As Wei Zhongxian's hardcore, he must stand up to express his support at this time.

"Empress Dowager, Master Li suggested that it is feasible for the new emperor to issue an imperial edict against oneself. Every time there is a disaster in the past dynasties, there are precedents for the emperor to issue an imperial edict against oneself."

After hesitating for a while, Huang Liji continued: "As the Queen Mother said, the new emperor has issued an edict of guilt. The severe drought in Shaanxi is still going on, and the people still have no food in their hands."

After finishing speaking, Huang Liji turned his head to ask Li Mu for advice: "Master Li, the drought in Shaanxi is not a child's play. I don't know if Master Li has a solution."

In any case, although Huang Liji took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, he still has the common people of the Ming Dynasty in his heart. Otherwise, in history, he would not be the first to stand up to recognize the legitimacy of Zhu Youjian and persuade him to ascend the throne People who are emperors.

He can express his support for the new emperor to issue an edict of guilt, but then Li Mu will explain how to deal with the severe drought in Shaanxi.

Facing Huang Liji's questioning, Li Mu said ruthlessly: "Mr. Huang Ge, it is enough for your cabinet to write the edict of the new emperor's guilt. As for how to solve the severe drought in Shaanxi, I will naturally ask you The Empress Dowager herself explained."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Huang Liji impatiently and said, "You don't need to worry about it."

As a representative of the majesty of the imperial power, Li Mu didn't feel the need to explain the matter clearly to Huang Liji, he only needed to express his dissatisfaction.

Huang Liji was not in a bad mood, he ignored Li Mu, turned around and looked at Zhang Yan who was sitting on the phoenix chair, and said respectfully, "Queen Mother, I beg you to grant Master Li's proposal, and ask the new emperor to issue an edict to punish yourself."

Zhang Yan was still a little hesitant. After all, she couldn't bear to let a young child bear the responsibility. After all, Zhu Cihong was her child in name.

The civil and military officials saw that Zhang Yan was still hesitating. In order to make sure that Li Mu would solve the severe drought in Shaanxi, they were taken out of this matter. They all followed Huang Liji and bowed: "I beg the queen mother allow."

"That's all." Zhang Yan sighed and said: "The Ai family agrees, but the Ai family must issue an edict together with the new emperor, with the love of mother and child."

In the end, Zhang Yan still couldn't bear to let a young child bear it alone, and planned to bear this mistake from heaven together, and jointly issued an edict of guilt with the new emperor.

All civil and military officials saluted in unison and said: "The Queen Mother is kind."

Seeing the civil and military officials standing up to pay their respects, Zhang Yan said with relief, "Everyone, let's live in peace, the Ai family doesn't have much ability, so they can only bear these for the new emperor, and the rest depends on all the loves." Your lords will bear it together."

"Your servant must do his best."

"Okay, since Li Aiqing wants to explain to the Ai family in person how to solve the severe drought in Shaanxi." Zhang Yan looked at Li Mu and said to the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness: "The Ai family should retreat now, and the cabinet should also Go down and prepare the related matters of the Edict of Guilt, if you prepare it earlier, the people of our Ming Dynasty will also be freed from the sea of ​​suffering sooner."

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian stepped forward at the right time, waved the dust whisk in his hand, and shouted in a strong voice: "The Empress Dowager Yizhi, all the lovers will retreat first."

"The minister waits for the order."

After bowing, all civil and military officials withdrew from the Hall of Supreme Harmony one by one, leaving the entire hall to Li Mu and Zhang Yan to discuss the next matter

Wei Zhongxian saw that all the civil and military officials had withdrawn from the Hall of Supreme Harmony and exited Fengtianmen, so he also stepped forward and said: "The queen mother and old servants have also retired first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhang Yan to nod, she got off Danbi and walked towards Li Mu.

When Li Mu approached, Wei Zhongxian bowed and said, "The lord, this old slave, will leave."

There are no outsiders here, they are all Li Mu's guards in Jinyi and Yingwei, and two maids from Renshou Palace, so there is no need for Wei Zhongxian to cover up.

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded to Wei Zhongxian, and said after thinking of one thing, "Wei Gong, is there a collection of "Yongle Dadian" in the palace?"

When cleaning up the antique calligraphy and paintings copied from the eight Shanxi merchants in this plane, Li Mu had planned to take the "Yongle Canon" back. At this time, he happened to ask Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian, who was about to leave, stopped, thought for a while and said, "My lord, there is indeed a collection of "Yongle Dadian" in the palace, but part of it is hidden in the Nandu Palace. If the Lord wants to take it from the Nandu Palace. Come."

Hearing that part of it was in Nandu, Li Mu told Wei Zhongxian, "Well, you send someone to Nandu to get that part of "Yongle Dadian" back, and then find famous experts to copy several editions of the entire "Yongle Dadian", and copy the newly transcribed few editions. The original version was collected in the northern and southern capitals and other places, and then the original version was sent to the Queen Mother's Renshou Palace."

The "Yongle Dadian" was placed in Zhang Yan's Renshou Palace for the convenience of loading and picking up when returning to the original plane next time. As for copying a few more editions, it was for the preservation of "Yongle Dadian" in Daming.

Historically, the "Yongle Canon" was not well preserved due to various reasons, which is indeed a pity. If more copies were copied and hidden in different locations, it should not be destroyed like it was in history.

"The old slave understands." After finishing speaking, Wei Zhongxian stopped staying and directly exited the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After Wei Zhongxian withdrew from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Mu told the Eagle Guards in the hall: "Everyone, retreat."
