Chapter 024: The Age of Power

Do you think that what Zhao Zongwu did was extreme, but when it comes to people like Zhu Youzhen, once some mistakes are made once, they are absolutely unforgivable!

Because he wanted to leave some face for the dead Emperor of the Apocalypse, he couldn't punish Zhu Youzhen, after all, Zhu Youzhen was a member of the Ming Imperial Family, and he was also the younger brother of Emperor Daxing.

"Nope! No! Don't take all the people around Xiao Wang away! When Zhu Youzhen, who was frightened in his heart, heard what Zhao Zongwu said, he looked at Zhao Zongwu with a strong panic and said: "Xiao Wang can't be without these familiar people around him, leave some for Xiao Wang!" There was a pleading look in his eyes.

But Zhao Zongwu ignored it and said with a rhetorical smile: "His Royal Highness King Xin doesn't have to be like this, the eunuchs and slaves in the Xinwang Mansion are all involved in important cases, so this prince needs to arrest them all and bring them back to Beizhen Fusi for interrogation, if they pass the interrogation, they will still reply to the palace, and they will be wronged by His Royal Highness King Xin during this time." ”

Can't stand it at this point?

Since you have done something wrong, you must have the courage to bear the consequences for what you have done.

Zhao Zongwu said that these things are for Zhu Youzhen to hear, since they have been with Zhu Youzhen for such a long time, then there must be a lot of trustworthy existence in the middle, in order to avoid any moths in the future, Zhu Youzhen's roots must be completely uprooted!

But Zhu Youzhen obviously didn't understand what the underlying consciousness behind the goods that Zhao Zongwu just talked about was what he wanted to express, so he just nodded his head and said: "Then please ask Dingguo Gong to send the eunuchs and slaves in the Xiaowang Mansion back to the Xiaowang Mansion as soon as possible, and Xiao Wang will stay in the palace and wait for the good news from Dingguo Gong." ”

Looking at Zhu Youzhen with begging in his eyes, Zhao Zongwu didn't have anything else to say, now he knows what the consequences will be?

But it's late!

Since ancient times, murder pays for life, and debts are repaid.

Although you Zhu Youzhen can't be punished now, all the people around you who are involved in it will die, and you, Zhu Youzhen, must also pay the due price.

Freedom is just the beginning.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zongwu turned around and left, at this time more than 100 brocade guards had been stationed in the Xinwang Mansion, and the eunuchs, slaves, and guards in the Xinwang Mansion were all cleared out of the palace, including the head of the Xinwang Mansion and the housekeeper, leaving the Xinwang, the princess, and the concubines in this empty Xinwang Mansion.

"Zhao Zongnan! From now on, you will be the thousand households in charge of all matters in the palace of the king of Xin, and no one shall be allowed to set foot in this palace without this public decree! This letter to the palace dares to appear in any way, this prince asks you!! Zhao Zongwu looked at this Xinwang Mansion with a gloomy face, and shouted to Zhao Zongnan who was beside him.

After hearing this, Zhao Zongnan immediately bowed down and said: "Grandpa Guo, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this Xinwang Mansion and take good care of His Royal Highness Xinwang!! ”

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Bring all the contents of the Xinwang Mansion back to Beizhen Fusi, find out all the people involved, and don't let anyone go!" ”

At the same time, there was a resurgence of arrest of Jinyi guards in the capital, and many of the officials who were arrested in the Qianqing Palace were arrested.

Since they have already made a mistake, and it is such a big and unrighteous mistake, then none of them can run away, especially at this time, they are soft-hearted, that is irresponsible to themselves.

The hidden danger of cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, Zhao Zongwu knows better than anyone else in his heart.

The day of the Ming Dynasty is really going to change from this moment, and at the same time it will change the current situation in the capital, the martial forces that were originally hidden in the depths will surface after this turmoil, they will get the authority they desire, and they will be in charge of the main body of the Ming Dynasty.

Regarding the cause and effect of the murder of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, only a few people know, but all of them are people trusted by Zhao Zongwu.

Similarly, Zhang Weixian, Duke Zhang Weixian, Duke Zhu Chunchen, Duke Xu Xi, and Zhao Zongwu did not tell this matter.

The follow-up matters were handed over to Chen Qiyu to deal with, and the personnel of Jinyi Wei were all deployed by him, while Zhao Zongwu took Ding Xiu, Ling Yunkai and others to the British Mansion to discuss.

Although Ling Yun Kai is related to Wei Zhongxian, Ling Yun Kai is still very capable, and he is also an old brother who has been with him for many years, so Ling Yun Kai still has the trust of Zhao Zongwu.

Solve the general trend of the court, then the next thing to discuss is the follow-up matters, and more importantly, how to divide vested interests, Zhao Zongwu The reason why they were able to gather here is completely because of the promotion of interests, if there are no interests, then it is impossible for them to gather here.

When they came to the British Mansion, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and Xu Xi, the Duke of Pingguo, had already arrived, just because Zhao Zongwu had not yet arrived, and they were just chatting about some things and some of the business under their command.

Looking at Zhang Weixian, who was sitting on the main seat, Zhao Zongwu, who walked into the main hall, had a slight smile on his face, and arched his hand to preach to him: "British Duke, if you don't come out this time, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will really continue to let the villain control it!" ”

Now that they are already members of the alliance, no matter what kind of problems existed before, at this moment, Zhao Zongwu and they must take their own interests as the starting point to ensure that the benefits they obtain are maximized, and the most important thing is to firmly hold the authority of the court.

Zhang Weixian also had a smile on his face, and said: "What the old man did was just a matter of duty, if it weren't for Dingguo Gong and you building a bridge in the middle, I'm afraid it would be impossible for us to gather together, let alone think of the great event of the Guogong joint revival of the dynasty, all of this is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." ”

The old fritter is worthy of being the old fritter, in order to be able to obtain the greatest power, this high-sounding saying is called a beautiful, and more importantly, the current Ming Dynasty, because Wei Zhongxian dominated the court in the early stage, so that those old stubborns have been eradicated, so there is no Guogong out of the mountain to assist the government, and there are old stubborn people who pretend to be forced by the laws of their ancestors at every turn.

Daming Quanxun has been suppressed for so long, and finally has time and a chance to turn over and be the master.

You must know that in the early Ming Dynasty, this court was originally the master of Quan Xun, but it was only later that the creation and manipulation, coupled with the army controlled by Wu Xun, was really too much of a loss, so that those suppressed civil officials tried every possible means to circle the Ming Dynasty Quan Xun step by step.

"Haha!" After listening to Zhang Weixian's words, Zhao Zongwu laughed, and then continued: "Everyone understands people, and my father is also a martial artist, which is actually no different from us.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is in our hands, then the first thing we have to solve is the new emperor ascending the throne, the Daxing Emperor is still in the Qianqing Palace, but the Ming Dynasty can not be without a monarch for a day, which is very right in the officials of the Qianqing Palace, but who is the new emperor, but we need to discuss.

As the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, this heart is all for the Ming Dynasty, maybe there is selfishness in the hearts of others, but we can't have selfishness, after all, our allegiance to the Ming Dynasty can not have the slightest difference! ”

It was also learned in the capital to be shameless, at this stage, Zhao Zongwu can be regarded as giving full play to it, of course, since he is already about to grasp the top power of the Ming Dynasty, this should be the cheekiness that should be there, this should be the thick black that later generations often say.

Zhu Chunchen nodded and said: "Dingguo Gong is right, as the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, that heart is for the Ming Dynasty, there were originally young people who filled the court, and we can only pretend not to see it for various reasons, but now we have the opportunity to help the Ming Dynasty revitalize the dynasty, so we must make every decision for the consolidation of the Ming Dynasty."

This prince is the eldest prince Zhu Ciran, although he is frail and sickly, but he is the queen's son-in-law, which has an understandable right to inherit, in order to avoid possible problems in the future, the prince recommended the eldest prince Zhu Ciran to inherit the throne. ”

Zhang Weixian also nodded and said: "This is what Chengguo Gong said is right, the eldest prince Zhu Ciran has the capital to inherit the throne naturally, and this prince also promoted the eldest prince Zhu Ciran to inherit the throne." ”

Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Weixian expressed their positions one after another, which has basically indicated the situation, and Zhao Zongwu has no opinion on this, compared with the latter two infant children, Zhu Ciran has more advantages than them, and although Empress Zhang will be promoted to the queen mother, her character is pure, and she is not the kind of woman who knows how to intrigue, and the relatives of Empress Zhang's branch are mostly honest and honest, and there is no phenomenon of seizing power with them at all, so the old fritters have already thought about this.

Zhao Zongwu said: "Agree! The prince elected the eldest prince Zhu Ciran to inherit the throne. ”

The only remaining Xu Xi, after hearing Zhao Zongwu's words, said indifferently: "Since you all agree on the same opinion, then this prince also recommended the eldest prince Zhu Ciran to inherit the throne." ”

As a result, the candidate for the Ming Emperor was freshly baked in the main hall of the British Mansion, and the set that Wei Zhongxian had made in the inner court earlier, savoring it was like playing a house.

Facts have proved that behind the guarantee of this power is inseparable from the reliance on strength, and behind the four princes, the strongest one is Zhao Zongwu.

At this stage, they will unite for the same goal, but after they get the name of the legal system, they will inevitably guard against each other for the sake of power, and then it will be completely up to their respective means.

After all, no one hates the benefits of power from the bottom of their hearts, at least Zhao Zongwu likes power very much!
