Chapter 13: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Xiang Luyang said: "Isn't this a bit too absurd? β
Ye Qiushui said: "No matter how absurd it is, can we still experience the absurdity of this kind of thing in person?" β
Xiang Luyang said: "Since there is a record of this period in the history books, can it be shown that Zhu Changming and they have not changed history?" β
Ye Qiushui thought for a moment and said, "It's not certain yet, because this is just the beginning, and we can only make a conclusion if we find Zhu Changming and them." β
Xiang Luyang said: "What if you can't find it?" How do we know if they changed history? β
Ye Qiushui sighed and said, "If we can't find it, we can only see if the Ming Dynasty has fallen according to the historical timeline." β
At this point, the two of them were silent, because this matter had developed so far that it had exceeded everyone's expectations, and everyone didn't know what would happen next, and whether they could return to the original world.
After a long time, Xiang Luyang suddenly said: "No matter what, let's find Zhu Changming and them first, after all, our task this time is to capture them, complete the task first, and then say, if we can't find them, we will overthrow the ruling regime of the Ming Dynasty according to the historical timetable." β
Looking at Xiang Luyang's resolute face, Ye Qiushui felt very down-to-earth in his heart, although what Xiang Luyang said now was a little arrogant, but Ye Qiushui believed that he would definitely be able to do it.
At this time, in an ordinary mansion in the capital, there were four people sitting in the hall discussing something, and these four people were Zhu Changming and others who had escaped death just now.
Just now, they had already learned where they had crossed over, and after learning that the explosion just now was the "Apocalypse Explosion", Zhu Changming decided to enter the city, first find a place to stay, and then say, now that the city of Beijing is in chaos, it is not difficult to find a house where all the people are dead.
After a few people settled down, Zhu Changming said to Xing Jiamu: "Elder Xing, let's introduce the environment we are in now." β
Xing Jiamu sorted out his somewhat excited mood, and said in a dry voice: "The era we are in now is the sixth year of the Great Apocalypse, and today is the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse. β
"The current emperor is Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao, this person is known in the history books as the "carpenter emperor", a life of mediocrity and no achievements, if there is any merit, that is, under his advocacy, the carpentry craft of the Ming Dynasty reached its peak in his time, is a typical faint monarch in Chinese history. β
"The current government should be in the hands of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, this person is suspicious and not easy to approach, and if we want to enter the center of power, it should not be easy to do."
At this time, Liu Minghan interjected: "What's so bad about this, if we can't get close to Wei Zhongxian, we will directly sue Zhu Youxiao and let him get rid of Wei Zhongxian, won't it be over!" β
Xing Jiamu glanced at him and said, "What you said is simple, if you want to get close to Ming Xi Sect, Wei Zhongxian must pass this level!" Besides, it is now the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and Zhu Youxiao will die next year, and Zhu Youzhen should be the emperor. β
Liu Minghan said: "Then what do you say?" β
Xing Jiamu said: "The best way now is to get close to Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, he is not the emperor yet, it is much easier to get close to him, after gaining his trust, when he succeeds to the throne next year, we will assist him to get rid of Wei Zhongxian, and then help him sweep away the chaotic party, so that the Ming Dynasty can be revitalized in his hands." β
Zhu Changming pondered for a while and said: "Although this method is safe, it is too slow, our time is running out, it is now the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and it has been less than twenty years since King Li Chuang's troops entered Beijing, and we have no time to spend it, so we must take risks and approach Wei Zhongxian." β
Xing Jiamu said: "Wei Zhongxian is not something that can be approached lightly, this person is in a high position, has countless money, and is also a eunuch, if you want to get close to him, conventional means are useless." β
Zhu Changming said: "Since conventional means are useless, then we will adopt unconventional means, and one of the general actions should be based on the premise of saving time." β
At this time, He Yue said: "Instead of thinking so far, you should think about the present first." β
Zhu Changming looked at He Yue in puzzlement, and asked, "In front of you?" Isn't the immediate trouble behind us? β
He Yue smiled and said, "You wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that those people who came with us would give up, would you?" β
Hearing He Yue say this, Zhu Changming was silent, because he really ignored the group of people who came with him just now.
Just when Zhu Changming was silent, Liu Minghan next to him said: "I have a way, I don't know if it will work." β
Zhu Changming said: "When is it, you still have the heart to sell Guanzi, is there any way to hurry up." β
Liu Minghan said: "Can we use these special forces who came with us and use them to open up the road between us and Wei Zhongxian?" β
Zhu Changming said: "What you said is more detailed. β
Liu Minghan said: "For such a large-scale explosion, I think the imperial court will definitely investigate the cause, we can push this explosion on these people, so that we can get close to Wei Zhongxian, and secondly, we can also contain these special forces, so that they have no time to hunt us down." β
He Yue said: "You say push it, why does Wei Zhongxian believe you?" β
Liu Minghan said: "Don't forget, the costumes of those few people, once they are seen, will be rumored to be known in the streets and alleys in an instant, and they have also appeared in the center of the explosion, plus Xing Lao is on the side, I think even if Wei Zhongxian has any doubts, he will adopt the policy of preferring to kill the wrong person and not let it go, to give an explanation to the world, after all, the apocalypse explosion is the biggest unsolved mystery in the history of the Ming Dynasty." β
After listening to Liu Minghan's words, Xing Jiamu nodded and said: "I think Professor Liu's idea should be feasible, after all, as far as the Ming history records, the cause of the Apocalypse explosion has always been a mystery, if we sort out the front and back of this matter, I think it should not be a problem to win Wei Zhongxian's trust." β
Zhu Changming said: "Since everyone thinks that this method is feasible, then we will follow Professor Liu's method, and the specific implementation method depends on Xing Lao, after all, he is the only one here who understands this era." β
Xing Jiamu said: "It's not difficult to implement this matter, we first have to spread rumors, just say that these people are the reincarnation of demons, and they are here to harm the Ming Dynasty. β
"Once this kind of news spreads, I think the imperial court will definitely pay attention to it, and when the time comes, as long as we say that there are clues about these demons, it will not be difficult for me to meet Wei Zhongxian."
