Chapter 72—The Beginning of the Emperor’s Demise

Yun Zhao stood at the gate of the Forbidden City, glanced inside, but did not go in, and went straight to the palace Xu Wuxiang had arranged for him.

Many people were deeply disappointed that His Majesty the Emperor did not enter the Forbidden City.

Although the people in this city have restored this glorious palace as much as possible, they have searched for a large number of things that originally belonged to the Forbidden City and were left out during the war.

Although this imperial city has been built and cleaned by them is far more magnificent than the Chongzhen period, Yun Zhao is still reluctant to enter…In his mind, the architecture of this imperial city is an indispensable highlight in the treasure house of Ming art. , However, the most ridiculous, most shameless, most gloomy, most inferior, and most unfaced group of people in Ming Dynasty have ever lived here.

Compared with these people, he is still clean. Since he is a clean person, it is best not to drill into the cesspit.

There are many luxurious residences belonging to the princes and ministers in this city. Of course, Yun Zhao will not enter these places.

Although the palace Xu Wu wanted to build on the edge of the Jinshui River was small, it was exquisite and warm.

Yenching in winter is lacklustre.

However, since the emperor and central officials stationed in Yanjing City, even in winter, the city has become prosperous.

Not only the 60,000 people led by Yun Zhao, but also many merchants came to Yanjing.

With these people, Yanjing City, which has just returned to life, finally entered the fast lane of development in the cold winter.

The most joyful thing is to visit the Forbidden City.

From the moment Yun Zhao lived in the Palace of Progress, the Forbidden City became a museum. In terms of status, Quan Daming was second only to museums outside the Yushan Museum.

The difference from the Yushan Museum is that the collections of the Yushan Museum are extremely rich, but they don’t charge a single coin. To enter the Forbidden City Museum, you have to pay a hundred copper coins.

Even if the price is so high, there is an endless stream of people entering the Forbidden City Museum.

After all, for a hundred coins, you can sit on the emperor’s dragon chair and take a peek at the place where the emperor’s concubine lives? Can you really try the tea and drinks served by real eunuchs? Palace maids? Taste the dishes in the imperial dining room… just The price is not cheap.

These things Yun Zhao had told Xu Wu long ago that he wanted to prepare? Xu Wu thought he would have prepared them a long time ago, and he will implement them after the emperor arrives.

In the huge Forbidden City? There are more than 2,100 homeless eunuchs, palace ladies? These people can’t leave the country alone? If everything is ignored, their end will be very miserable.

It is a good way for these people to continue working in the service industry they are familiar with.

The only difference is that they can continue to receive salaries? Yes? It is salaries. This is a term specifically given by Yun Zhao in order to improve their status. Although it is just a statement, the eunuchs and court ladies in the Forbidden City are grateful.

I used to serve the nobles? There was always a worry about life. If the nobles had a bad temper? Would they use them to vent their anger, and if they collide with the nobles, they would be beaten to death? Said it was just a legend.

It’s different now? Waiting for a tourist to ascend the throne of the emperor? The reward you get is enough to be happy for a while? Waiting for a woman who has fantasies about the status of a concubine into the harem, as long as you cheer them up and get the money More.

Their life is very happy… Only Yun Zhao was criticized by all the gentry of Daming!

The memorial against Yunzhao’s opening of the Forbidden City was burned at Zhang Guozhu’s place.

Yun Zhao believes that he is the emperor of Ming Dynasty. It is the people of the whole Ming Dynasty who recognize his emperor status, not this imperial city. If the people approve, he is still the supreme emperor even if he is sitting in a pigpen and working.

If the people didn’t approve it, even if they lived in the imperial city, they would drink poisoned wine like Chongzhen, laughing, crying, and waiting for death.

The same important thing as not living in the imperial city is that Yun Zhao is not going to build the mountain tomb!

He also warned officials that if he dared to talk about living in the imperial city and repairing the mountain tombs, he would burn the imperial city on fire and burn the body to ashes after he died, and finally sprinkle it on the land of Daming.

As soon as Yun Zhao said these two sentences, the whole world became quiet.

Since the emperor was unwilling to be buried in a grand burial, the princes and generals could only be buried like ordinary people, without those cumbersome benefits.

Abolish the old system!

This is something that every scholar can feel.

The emperor is going to take advantage of his visit to Yanjing, ready to completely clean out the old system!

The emperor’s dragon chair on the Golden Luang Temple can be seated for one silver dollar. If you are willing to spend ten silver dollars, there are hundreds of officials pretending to be standing underneath and listening to you announcing major national affairs.

If the money given exceeds one hundred silver dollars, these former eunuchs and court ladies can even bow down to you and call “Long live.”

After such a serious incident of trampling the former royal family into the soil occurred in the Forbidden City.

Yun Zhao gave the Qiu Jue Order in the name of the emperor!

On the same day, the six thousand four hundred and twenty-seven death inmates of Ming Dynasty were escorted to Caishikou for execution. After the executive officer chanted the emperor’s will, these six thousand four hundred and twenty-seven death inmates fell to their heads at three o’clock in the afternoon.

On the one hand, it humiliated Emperor Zhu Ming, on the other hand, it magnified the personal power of Emperor Yun Zhao of Lantian Dynasty to the extreme.

“Your Majesty, humiliating that act in the Forbidden City, how do I feel that I am also humiliating you?”

Yun Zhao glanced at Han Lingshan and said, “You mean you can’t sit on the stool I’ve sat on, right?”

Han Lingshan frowned and said, “It should be like this!”

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu said in a negative way: “Your Majesty, Minister Han has sat on the chair in the large study room six times. The most extreme one was when you were drinking in the large study room. , He stepped on the chair with his feet on the chair, extremely rebellious.”

Yun Zhao waved his hand and said, “Drag it out and chop it.”

Han Lingshan sluggishly said: “Is this cut?”

Yun Zhao angrily said, “Isn’t this according to the method you said?”

Then, he turned his gaze on Zhang Guozhu’s face.

Zhang Xiu said overcastly: “On April 16th of the year of China, your Majesty discussed state affairs with the Prime Minister until dawn. While your Majesty was consulting the map, the Prime Minister fell asleep on his chair for half an hour.

On September 18th of the Third Year of China, after hearing that General Han Xiufeng had won a great victory in Malacca, His Majesty, Minister of State, Minister Han, and Minister Qian were singing and singing. The three of them took turns stepping on His Majesty’s seat and singing. He also trampled on your majesty’s chair. “

Yun Zhao looked at the sluggish Zhang Guozhu again and said, “If there is anything to say, I pulled it out and cut it all.”

Zhang Guozhu, Han Lingshan turned around and left, not wanting to stay in this room for another moment.

When he went out, seeing Qian Shaoshao preparing to enter, Han Lingshan grabbed Qian Shaoshao and said, “Don’t go, there is a danger of being hacked.”

Qian Shaoshao said, “Then I have to wait until I finish talking before cutting it down.”

Zhang Guozhu shook his head and said: “There is nothing to say, your majesty is determined to change customs, and is ready to completely pull the emperor down.”

Qian Shaoshao said: “Yes, your Majesty gets down from the dragon chair by himself. It is better than being pulled down and beheaded by the people.” He said, shaking his hand and said: “The King of England was hanged.”

Standing in the gate, Yun Zhao smiled and said: “This is an era that is proud of killing the emperor. Look at it, in the future, more emperors will be hanged, or beheaded, or flee. Or exile… In this era, the least valuable is the emperor’s head.”

Zhang Guozhu was taken aback and said, “We won’t.”

Yun Zhao smiled and said: “Sometimes everyone is involuntarily involuntarily, so listen to me and change this society, while I still have the courage to change, don’t delay, in case my courage disappears. I won’t mention it in the future.”

Zhang Guozhu said angrily: “The few of us are actually the donkeys under your whip. We have run so fast, so you still have to whip!”

After that, I took Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshao left.

The document that Qian Shaoshao brought was very comprehensive and fully described the political struggle between King Charles I of England and Cromwell. Now, the struggle is over. Cromwell, who represents the new aristocracy, won and Charles I was beheaded.

There has never been any kindness in political struggle.

Fifty-nine of the 135 members of the special court signed Cromwell’s order to execute the king.

The charge is to betray his country and his people.

There is no more than half of the number, so it has nothing to do with fairness, but with power.

The death of the British king actually had no impact on Daming at all. It was Han Xiufen who barely affected Da Ming. He took advantage of the gap between Earl Nelson’s resignation of the fleet commander because of his dissatisfaction with the Cromwell regime, and he quietly moved Daming’s interest in India. Xido paddled a hundred kilometers.

When Yun Zhao arrived in Yanjing, Li Dingguo brought his guards back from Liaodong day and night to meet the emperor. As for the army, it was under the command of Zhang Guofeng. It was not only Li Dingguo but also the Golden Tiger who came to see him.

Li Dingguo was very satisfied with his bald appearance, and Jin Hu was also very satisfied with his savage appearance. Both of them had big beards. When Yun Zhao saw them, he could not find any similarities between them. ~www.wuxiax.com~ Li Hongji went to the extreme north, and Dorgon also went to the extreme north. It seemed that they had no idea of ​​returning to Daming. Therefore, Li Dingguo’s main task in Liaodong was to clear the entrenchment. There were no people who followed Li Hongji and Dorgon left in Liaodong.

These people are determined and unwilling to accept the rule of anyone, even if it is Da Ming, they are hiding in the white mountains and black waters, preparing to fend for themselves.

Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng’s attitude towards these people is also very simple-clear!

This work is not heavy, but very annoying. Since Li Hongji and Dorgon left with most of the people, these people wanted to obtain materials from the Central Plains, and there was no other way but to rob the army.

The results of looting the army, especially the pawns under Li Dingguo’s command, are completely imaginable.

“Your Majesty, they have become savages drinking blood.”

“Then increase the intensity of the blockade, and strive not to let anything related to civilization fall into their hands. In another ten years, they will die out naturally, or degenerate into beasts.”

“Finally, I will obey.”
