After the Great Purge, countless new-generation officials were promoted, and the storm of the purge finally swept over Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and other Eight Tigers.

Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, Qiu Ju, Gao Feng, Ma Yongcheng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin

Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai

And Yan Song!

Several knives used by Zhu Houzhao gathered together, waiting for Zhu Houzhao's final decision.

Whether it is life or death, it is all in Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

"You've been following me for more than 10,000 years!"

Looking at the notorious eunuchs and traitors in front of him, Zhu Houzhao said softly.

Liu Jin, Yan Song and others looked at each other, and they didn't dare to take a sip of the atmosphere, and they were worried to the extreme.

They were able to control the power because of Zhu Houzhao, and they also knew Zhu Houzhao's ruthlessness best, and now that Zhu Houzhao is about to abdicate, their good days are over.

Zhu Houzhao ignored the panic of Liu Jin, Yan Song and others, and said to himself: "I have been in the world for more than 10,000 years, and you have done a lot of things for me, and you have worked hard without merit, and I don't want to do it all the time." ”

His eyes fell on Liu Jin and the other eight tigers: "From now on, unload all the powers in your hands and go to the Purple Mountain to guard the emperor's mausoleum!" ”

"You've enjoyed everything you should have enjoyed, and now you can save your life when you retreat bravely."

This is not to ask for their opinion, but to give an order, if you don't obey, you will die.

Zhu Houzhao was not discussing with them.

"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty for your forgiveness!"

Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and other Eight Tigers dare not obey, if they do not obey the emperor's will, they will only die.

has followed Zhu Houzhao for so many years, and they know Zhu Houzhao's methods too well.

Raising a dog for more than 10,000 years, no matter how much you have a deep feeling, no matter how deep the feelings, compared with your own son, it is still insignificant.

What's more, they have done too many dirty things for Zhu Houzhao, if they don't withdraw and retreat as soon as possible, they will die sooner or later.

It's good to be alive.

"Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai, enter the secret realm at the top of the Imperial Palace's Scripture Pavilion, and hide it as the foundation of the Ming Dynasty."

Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai has no opinion on this, the two of them have long wanted to run away, after all, Jinyiwei swept through all dynasties, offended too many people, and there were not 100,000 people who wanted them to die, but 80,000.

Shi Wenyi took the brocade clothes and Wei Ti to ride to attack the trade of thin horses in Yangzhou in various dynasties, but the interests of many people were eliminated.

Finally, Yan Song!

Zhu Houzhao said surgingly: "Go to the Sun Moon School Palace to be a teacher!" ”

Yan Song's proposal to support the division of the vassal kings will offend the vassal kings enough, if he continues to stay in the court, the kings will not let him go.

Yan Song obviously understood this, and kowtowed: "Minister, thank you Your Majesty Longen!" ”

As Zhu Houzhao's backstabber, Yan Song knows his situation better than anyone else, it is extremely dangerous, and there are many people who want to swallow him alive.

Before the reckoning came, it was his only choice to retreat quickly.

He is not worried that after retreating, the Yan family will be defeated, he is Zhu Houzhao's backbiter, and Yan Shifan is Zhu Qiyuan's microphone, the trolls in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not in the hands of the emperor, Zhu Houzhao will not rest assured.

......

The eight tigers, Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai, and Yan Song retreated, and Zhu Houzhao immediately arranged for Zhu Qiyuan's people to be on top.

Cao Zhengchun supervised the East Factory and was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor!

Lin Pingzhi's Admiral Xichang is in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor!

Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zuo Tianming was promoted to the commander of Jinyi Wei!

Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, was promoted to the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The East Factory, the West Factory, and the Jinyi Guard have always been the knives in the hands of the emperor, and no one dared to put their beaks in the change of the leader.

Only the post of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate caused a lot of turmoil.

Many ministers did not agree with Yan Shifan to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but they were all suppressed by Zhu Houzhao.

Yan Shifan is the back-pot man prepared by Zhu Houzhao for Zhu Qiyuan, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and it needs to be firmly in the hands of the emperor.

Everything is transitioning smoothly!

Zhu Houzhao also gradually handed over the cards in his hand to Zhu Qiyuan.

The Blue Dragon Society, the Worship Palace, and the Twelve Immortal Dao Army of the Ming Dynasty, which has long been formed, but has never appeared, led by Yuwen Tuo.

When everything was almost ready, Zhu Houzhao issued several holy decrees in a row to restrict civil and military officials, many vassal kings, and emperors.

First, anyone who is crowned a king in the imperial court can only reign for 30,000 years, and after 30,000 years, he needs to enter the ancestral temple to concentrate on cultivation and suppress the Ming Dynasty;

Second, whether it is a civil official or a military general, it is limited to 30,000 years, and if it exceeds 30,000 years, it is regarded as an automatic scholar and enters the core small world of the Sun and Moon Academy;

Third, in order to ensure that there will be no chaos in the succession of the imperial throne, the term of office of each emperor shall not exceed 30,000 years.

The kings, civil officials, military generals, and emperors all took 30,000 years as a term, in order to prevent the solidification of the power class and cause the Ming Dynasty to lose its vitality.

As a prisoner of powerful power, Zhu Houzhao knew that in the prosperous era of the Immortal Dao, it was easy for anyone who cultivated to become a successful person and lived for tens of thousands of years.

If a vast empire loses its vitality, there is no hope for further growth.

Especially in terms of the inheritance of the throne, an old emperor has occupied the throne for a long time, and the princes cannot see the hope of ascending to the throne, and rebellion is inevitable.

Father and son kill each other, a human tragedy!

Zhu Houzhao set the rule that the emperor only had a term of office of 30,000 years, which was also well-intentioned.

Of course, there are many dissatisfied with the three rules set by Zhu Houzhao.

For example, Lao Zhu and Zhu Di, when they reach the period of 30,000 years, they will retire from the ancestral temple, how can they accept this, what they want is to set up Zhu Qiyuan and control the Ming Dynasty forever.

But in the face of the strong Zhu Houzhao, no matter how dissatisfied Lao Zhu and Zhu Di were, they could only endure it, and now at this point, the consequences of angering Zhu Houzhao are very serious.

Zhu Houzhao is not crazy, but it is not much different from being crazy, whoever dares to block Zhu Houzhao to pave the way for Zhu Qiyuan, Zhu Houzhao dares to send someone to death.

A year later

Zhu Houzhao abdicated, Zhu Qiyuan ascended the throne, and Zhu Houzhao disappeared, taking advantage of the last bit of time, he wanted to see his country and keep the sun, moon, mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

Zhu Qiyuan began to play with the kings.

Not surprisingly, without Zhu Houzhao's suppression, Lao Zhu, Zhu Di and other kings, as well as all forces, began to feel that they were doing it again, and made all kinds of unreasonable demands to Zhu Qiyuan.

The kings demanded an equal division of authority, the emperor and the kings shared the world, after all, they were all surnamed Zhu, and the world was so big, the emperor couldn't manage it alone, and the kings should help.

The civil officials demanded the abolition of the false hundred schools of thought in the Sun and Moon Academy, and respected Confucianism alone;

Scholars clamored for preferential treatment and privileges;

Businessmen, families, and sects, for their own interests, are also constantly making trouble.

may have been suppressed by Zhu Houzhao for too long, and this day broke out, and everyone had a momentum of not reaching their goal and vowing not to give up.

But they seem to ignore one point, Zhu Qiyuan is Zhu Houzhao's son.

Zhu Qiyuan is not as ruthless as Zhu Houzhao, but he is not easy to bully, and he wants to take advantage of his recent ascension to the throne in an attempt to force him to compromise, which is daydreaming and delusional.

It's just killing, Zhu Qiyuan doesn't know how to do it, he has a few killing weapons left to him by Zhu Houzhao in his hands, and he wants to deter the world, and it's not easy to get it.
