There was an era in the United States, known as the Hoover era. The iron-clad president, the flowing Hoover, is talking about the uncrowned king in American history.

Why did Hoover hang like this? As the first FBI president in U.S. history, he holds the secrets of countless big names in his hands. Some of these secrets were open secrets in their own right, while others he had painstakingly unearthed.

In order to uncover these secrets, he unscrupulously used the power in his hands. Forge a hidden kingdom of secrets, fear, and power.

Well, saying so much is just trying to say. Lu Xiao didn't expect that this guy Luo Yangxing would also have this kind of thought. In his secret room, a large number of secret information of the court officials was collected.

Including but not limited to good male style, child prostitution, and other privacy. and officialdom privacy such as bribery, abuse of power for personal gain, and secretly forming parties for personal gain. It even includes a lot of big people, contacting outside the customs, wanting to give themselves an operation of a certain origin in advance.

There are hundreds of files, and more than half of the officials of the court are hugged in.

When Lu Xiao saw these things, he felt sad and wanted to laugh. What is laughing is that Chongzhen in history, as an emperor who can no longer cook. At least the heart is still in Daming. But the hearts of his ministers have already flown outside the gate.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Lu Xiao rode directly into the imperial city. The guards of the Imperial City stopped with a voice. But Lu Xiao just flashed a token, and the other party directly let him go.

Lu Xiao was alone, carrying a huge burden, and rushed into the imperial city. Several palace guards came over to lead his horse, and then quickly entered the palace with Lu Xiao.

Apocalypse had already fallen asleep, but when he heard Lu Xiao's urgent report, he got up again.

"Xuan." He said in a deep voice.

Lu Xiao hurriedly walked into the study and put the burden at the feet of the apocalypse.

"Your Majesty, this is a dossier copied from Luo Yangxing's family. The stakes are so high that the lowly post can only disturb His Majesty late at night. ”

"Anyway, every time you enter the palace, you will make a big move. What did you find this time? ”

The last time Lu Xiao entered the palace and told the apocalypse that more than half of the ministers in the court were more or less involved in the conspiracy to kill him. Apocalypse was furious, but he was able to hold back. Because he is well aware that this phenomenon is self-inflicted. This is an inevitability of the struggle between imperial power and vassals to the extreme.

And this time, Lu Xiao directly opened a file and handed it to the apocalypse.

Apocalypse, taking the dossier, quickly fell silent after opening it. It was a long time before he put away the scroll and said.

"Are these things all the same?"

"Back to Your Majesty. About half of them were, and the other half were the bad habits of some courtiers. ”

"Locke's sex?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, what does he want to do? Sit in my seat? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I feel that he should not be so bold. But Wei Zhongxian's position, he should still dare to think about it. ”

This is Lu Xiao's own speculation. Luo Yang's rebellion against the top is basically impossible. The political system of the Ming Dynasty is very perfect, unless it is a clan, there is basically no possibility of other courtiers being emperors.

But if you can't do it, it's still possible to be nine thousand years old. Didn't you see Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch from a gangster, who had become nine thousand years old?

"Nine thousand years old, everyone wants to be nine thousand years old! Lu Xiao, what do you think about this matter? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is a matter of the country's society, and I dare not speak out of my humble position."

"Alright, you don't have to mess with it. There is nothing you dare not say. No matter what you say, I will forgive you without sin. ”

"The lowly position is ugly. I thought that His Majesty needed to take drastic medicine. ”

Just one sentence made the apocalypse look sideways. Because this is obviously completely different from what Apocalypse had in mind.

A normal emperor, what should he do when he encounters such a situation? It's very simple, find a few inconsequential ones to deal with them harshly, and then beat the others openly and secretly. Let everyone know that the emperor knows their secrets. But the emperor will not blame them for the time being. As long as you work hard, there will be no follow-up.

The so-called combination of grace and power is this principle. Because the emperor wants the stability of the court and the stability of the country more than any courtier. Therefore, in this case, it is generally impossible to make a big move.

"Do you know that if you do this, it will cause the court to shake. It is not conducive to the stability of the country. ”

"So what, Your Majesty. To be honest, can stability drive out the slaves? Can Stability Solve the Great Drought in the North? Can Stability Increase Tax Revenue? Can stability make a strong army? ”

Unexpectedly, Apocalypse was not angry at Lu Xiao's unreasonableness. Instead, he spoke.

"Killing them won't change these things you say."

"That's right, but getting rid of these people can pave the way for change."

The apocalypse was silent, and Lu Xiao didn't urge. Instead, wait quietly. It wasn't until after a cup of tea that Apocalypse spoke again.

"It's possible, but I'm afraid there isn't enough time."

Lu Xiao knew very well what the time that the apocalypse was referring to. Apocalypse should be able to feel that his time is running out by now. What he was afraid of was that he would pack up halfway and leave on his own. This will have even more serious consequences. The ministers fought back, and a new emperor couldn't hold on.

"Then Your Majesty needs to be ready."

Lu Xiao seemed to be referring to something. In fact, the last time we met, he had come up with that idea. An act that was almost impossible for an emperor. But for an emperor who knows that his time is short, there is still a glimmer of possibility.

This time, Apocalypse was silent for a long time. Finally, under Lu Xiao's gaze, Guo Zhen was called.

"Go, and come to the king of the faith."

A hint of incredulity flashed in Guo Zhen's eyes. But he left quickly.

When King Xin arrived, he happened to meet Lu Xiao leaving. The two passed by in front of the palace. Lu Xiao bent down and saluted, but without much communication, he left directly.

Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was actually very panicked. What does it mean for the emperor to summon himself at this time? In the middle of the night, without the slightest warning, let yourself enter the palace to see you. Could it be that he knows my careful thoughts and wants to get rid of me?

But even if there is such speculation, there is actually nothing that King Shin can do. Because Guo Zhen went with a team of brocade guards. Jin Yiwei is the emperor's person. If the resistance is not respectful, the other party may directly act rudely.

Until now, Shin has received the covert support of many ministers. But when it comes to armed forces, he only has a few guards. There is no strength to fight against Jinyiwei at all. At least at this moment, King Shin had a feeling that he should have a department similar to Jinyiwei.

Entered the palace. King Shin saw Apocalypse in his study. There were also piles of dossiers on the table.

"I've seen Your Majesty." King Shin bowed and saluted. Tianqi waved his hand lightly and motioned for Guo Zhen to step back.

"No need to be polite. It's urgent, and it scares you. This sentence frightened Zhu Youzhen and knelt on the spot.

"Alright, don't kneel at every turn. If you have that mind, you have to have the corresponding courage. Otherwise, how can it become atmospheric. When he said this, he believed that the king directly slammed his head to the ground, and he didn't dare to move.

At this time, Tianqi casually picked up a dossier and threw it to King Xin.

"If you like to kneel, then kneel. But first read the dossier. If you can't finish watching, you can't get up! ”
