The moment Zhu ignored death, the voice of mission completion sounded in Cao Zhengchun's mind.

【Ding! 】

[Side quest 2: Revenge, kill the iron gall god Hou Zhu ignore, the mission is complete!] 】

【Ding! 】

[Side Quest 2 Reward: Constitution +1, Black Jade Intermittent Paste × 1]

[Do you want to pick it up?] 】

"Pick it up later."

Cao Zhengchun took a deep breath and looked at the mess around him, the Qianqing Palace, which was originally standing majestically, had been completely razed to the ground, and the surrounding palaces were also heavily damaged.

As if he had just experienced an earthquake, the battle between him and Zhu ignored directly destroyed half of the palace, and he didn't know how many deaths and injuries the daughters of the eunuch palace who were working hard in this palace.

Of course, the biggest casualties were the martial arts masters of these eight major factions, who were first beaten by Zhu Ignorance, and were killed and injured.

After experiencing the great war ignored by Cao Zhengchun and Zhu, the aftermath alone took the lives of many people, and the masters of at least two of the eight major factions were tragically wiped out.

This big war has set the entire Ming martial arts back by at least ten years, maybe more than that, but Cao Zhengchun is happy to hear about it, he is a court person, and he has always been hostile to the forces of the rivers and lakes, and it is not a bad thing to be able to stop like this.

Turning his attention back to himself, Cao Zhengchun felt the injury in his body, and frowned secretly, it would take at least half a month to recover.

The end of the battle was indeed beyond his expectations, but who would have expected that the result of the battle between the two Dafa Sects would end in the collapse of each other.

Originally, it was possible to operate the fancy show with speed and the kite died without harming Zhu ignored, but now it was a not light or serious injury, which made Cao Zhengchun a little unwilling.

But Zhu ignores that everyone is dead, is it possible to pull him up and beat him again?

Cao Zhengchun won reluctantly after all, and in a sense, it was a big victory.

Emperor Zhengde died, and so did Zhu Ignore.

Cao Zhengchun got rid of two thorns in his eyes at one time, he no longer has a political constraint, and his influence in the Ming Kingdom will inevitably reach a peak.

Thinking like this, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but think about the next step.

There is no need to fight with Emperor Zhengde anymore, he can't wait to further accelerate the reform of the Ming Kingdom and open the road of great colonization:

Because Daming's years of food reserves are about to be exhausted, and the climate anomalies brought about by the Xiaoice River period are far from over.

In addition, there is another major event, that is, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is a taboo for the dragons to have no leader, and it is necessary to select an emperor to succeed him as soon as possible.

Of course, as a good eunuch in the new era for the country and the people, Gonggong Cao still needs to think carefully about who to choose to support the new emperor.

This time, the biggest hurdle has been solved, and the rest of the answer just needs to be done step by step.

Cao Zhengchun, who was standing alone on the ruins, showed a pleased smile, from the time he crossed over to become Cao Zhengchun to the present, it was the first time he had laughed so happily, his wrinkled old face smiled like a withered chrysanthemum, and it was so ugly that people wanted to punch him in the face.

The black factory robe on his body was full of holes, and the tattered cloak fluttering in the wind was also stained with blood, but in the reflection of the setting sun, it was like a fire.

From this moment on, Daming was completely shrouded in the shadow cast by Cao Zhengchun.

……

Three days later, Taihemen, the first court after the death of Emperor Zhengde.

Cao Zhengchun stood in the hall expressionlessly, wearing a five-clawed purple and red python robe, wearing a flower and gold top, looking very solemn.

The dragon chair was empty, but a phoenix was added next to it, and the emperor's court meeting without the emperor could only let the queen come forward.

Although the queen mother at the top was gorgeously dressed, she looked very haggard with a sad face, and it seemed that Zhu Houzhao's death had dealt a big blow to her.

The one standing next to the Queen Mother was not the new celebrant eunuch who succeeded to the position of Father-in-law Sun, but the county lord of Yunluo.

The county lord of Yunluo was also red-eyed and pale, obviously saddened by the death of his imperial brother.

The two women, one lost his son in old age, and the other lost his brother in young age, which made people feel a little embarrassed for a while.

Zhu Houzhao has no children, and the fall of the throne has become inevitable.

The new emperor may give preferential treatment to this pair of queen mothers and county lords who have no emotional foundation on the surface to show leniency, but secretly I am afraid that they will not be too close.

The favored lord of Yunluo will inevitably be marginalized, and the queen mother can only stay quietly in the harem, waiting for old age.

It may be a little cruel to say, but people die like lights out, and there are descendants, the purpose of this time is actually to force this pair of orphans and widows to make a decision and choose the ownership of the throne.

The Ming Kingdom is a huge dynasty, and there must be a ruler, even if it is only on the surface.

Obviously, although the queen mother is old, she also understands this truth, so even though she is very sad about the death of her emperor in her heart, she still said in a hoarse voice:

"The emperor died at the hands of a traitor, and the court grieved, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is better to decide the choice of the new emperor as soon as possible.

The mourning family is short-sighted, what do you think of the humerus of the first emperor? ”

The words fell, but the ministers below were silent, and no one dared to speak.

Because they know that the one who really dominates this court is not the queen mother above, nor their own ministers, but the one at the front, who has a crane hair and a boy face and a python robe, Cao Zhengchun, the factory prince.

The queen mother looked at which minister below, which minister lowered her head weakly and did not dare to look at each other, and the county lord of Yunluo could only be secretly anxious beside her, but there was nothing she could do.

The decrepit Empress Dowager sighed in disappointment, knowing in her heart that the decline of imperial power was inevitable.

Although the previous Cao Zhengchun was in power, there were still Emperor Zhengde and the Dragon Protector Villa to check and balance.

As a result, after a rebellion that Zhu ignored, both of which now no longer exist.

But Cao Zhengchun is full-fledged and powerful, as if he is already the number one powerful minister who covers the sky with one hand.

Holding the factory guard to supervise the government and the opposition, the top ten generals bowed their heads to their ears, and their reputation among the people was even more vigorous.

Cao Zhengchun's name is Changgong, but in fact, he is already the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

The current queen mother even thinks that it is better to let Zhu ignore the success of usurping the throne, so that at least the Ming Dynasty is still in the hands of their Zhu family, instead of being wantonly acted by a eunuch like now.

After a long silence, the Empress Dowager sighed, and finally asked Cao Zhengchun, who was under the head: "The ministers still need to think carefully, I don't know what Gonggong Cao has to think?" ”

Cao Zhengchun flicked his sleeves lightly, and before he could say anything, he already had a majestic bearing, which made the entire court even quieter, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting didn't even dare to breathe.

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun's prestige reached its peak!

Ignoring the anger of the Yunluo County Lord above, and the ugly look behind the imperial queen, Cao Zhengchun slowly spoke:

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, Weichen thought that Zhu Hou, the second son of King Zhu Youqing, could inherit the unification."

As soon as Cao Zhengchun's voice fell, the courtiers suddenly responded, and compared with the oppressive atmosphere before the queen mother, it was like a world of difference.

"What the Overseer said, Cao De thought it was true!"

"What Cao Gong said is very true (I think so too)."

"Wechen thinks of the same candidate (then I add one)!"

"Great goodness, Cao Gong's words are really the policy of determining the country (I am the same)!"
