Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the court quickly returned to stability, except for the initial fluctuations caused by the rebel forces in the north and south.

Originally, the ministers were worried about the new emperor. After all, everyone knew what kind of virtue this emperor had when he was in the Imperial Guard.

So at the beginning, everyone couldn't help but worry. After all, there was once Meng Yuan who could take care of him, but now, he is the master of the world, who dares to take care of him.

However, after the new emperor came to the throne, the court was somewhat unexpectedly stable. Luo Fuzi, Lu Shangshu and others were in charge of the overall situation. The new emperor did not care about the power of the court and basically decentralized it. The court officials had never been like this before.

When you feel comfortable.

But after feeling comfortable, everyone was inevitably a little worried. It is true that most of the administrative power of the imperial court was decentralized, but the military power was still in the hands of the new emperor from beginning to end.

And sure enough, just five years after the new emperor came to power, His Majesty gave everyone a clean slate.

There was only one queen in the new emperor's harem, the former Princess Yongle. The queen gave birth to a princess and a prince to the royal family in five years.

But even so, some courtiers still felt that the emperor was not having enough heirs, and hoped that your majesty would choose good men to fill the harem. At first, your majesty refused. At that time, the queen only gave birth to a princess. Later, a little prince was also born, and some people were dissatisfied.

The old matter was brought up again, but the emperor unexpectedly agreed.

However, the plan given by the emperor was somewhat surprising. His Majesty planned to imitate the late emperor and accept women from aristocratic families into the palace.

This made the aristocratic family extremely happy. I thought that the emperor had a deep grudge against them, but I didn't expect that this majesty would still follow the old path of the previous one and wanted to use the aristocratic family to balance the court.

As soon as this incident came out, the court was in an uproar. Countless ministers came to Lu Shangshu's house, hoping to persuade him to take back his life. After all, they came to the court to oppose the family. Now the new emperor has followed the old emperor's path. How can it be

It's not a waste of time.

Compared with the worried courtiers, the people of the aristocratic families were overjoyed. Seeing that the emperor finally relented, they hurriedly began to show their goodwill, and each family selected girls of suitable age to send to the palace.

And at this juncture, Ying Wushang, who had been promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guard at a rapid speed, suddenly led people to break into the Wang family's house in the capital and "searched out" a group of assassins who wanted to murder the emperor.

The whole world was in an uproar. No one was a fool. When the emperor already wanted to pursue peace, it was absolutely impossible for the family to destroy the Great Wall. But with the Wang family's background and energy, they wanted to blame them for such a fatal thing.

It is also very difficult.

As a result, there is only one possible outcome, which is Jin Yiwei's self-directed and self-acted result. They once again used their unique skills to frame the situation.

Who Ying Wushang is is known to all the world. Meng Yuan is the emperor's right-hand man, Lu Hanjiang is the emperor's butcher's knife, Wu Qiming is the emperor's eyes, and he, Ying Wushang, is the emperor's most loyal hawk and dog.

.

This commander was neither greedy for power nor greedy for money. He took all public and private matters indifferently and only followed the emperor's instructions wholeheartedly. Therefore, he would never be able to make arbitrary decisions against the Wang family.

The person in charge behind this drama can be seen by everyone - the emperor is going to take action against the noble family.

The emperor had a bad impression of the family, so it was only a matter of time before he took action. No one was surprised by this. What surprised everyone was that the emperor's methods turned out to be so simple and... rude.

The influence of the aristocratic family on the imperial court was so great that the imperial court wanted to take action but was hindered by everything. The reason was that no matter how it was done, it would never gain a good reputation in the end. Once it was done, both sides would lose.

The biggest embarrassment for the imperial court is that the family is slippery, and if it cannot grasp the handle, it cannot take action legitimately. If the teacher is unknown, the reputation of the emperor who makes the decision will be criticized.

Generally speaking, as the emperor, the emperor only cares about two things, power and reputation. However, two accidents happened to the court in succession. Before and after the late emperor indulged in cultivating immortals, he was not a person who cared much about reputation.

And the new emperor is even more outrageous. He never seems to care about such things as face. This time he plotted against the aristocratic family. His plan was simple and crude, and he just had to slap his arm with his hands.

When an emperor doesn't even care about his reputation, the threat he can pose is absolutely terrifying.

The Jin Yiwei received a big case for the first time in a long time. The Wang family was convicted of treason. The emperor's imperial decree was given to the commander Ying Wushang in one step, asking him to lead his troops to ransack the house.

The courtiers were simply stunned. Although they hoped that the emperor would not let the family go, absolutely no one wanted the emperor to use such strong methods to do this, because it would cause great chaos.

"Taifu! Please advise Your Majesty. If this continues, the world will be in chaos." A cabinet minister said worriedly.

Three years ago, Mr. Wei Ge resigned from office and retired to seclusion. The position of Mr. Wei Ge was vacant. The emperor did not give instructions, but Luo Fuzi, who had been promoted to Tai Tu, was appointed to lead the cabinet on his behalf.

Listening to everyone's worries, Luo Fuzi's eyes were dark, but he didn't reply. Just when everyone was worried about the future, Lu Shangshu hurriedly came in from the door.

"Master, the latest news." Lu Shangshu took the newspaper. Luo Fuzi opened it after taking it. Everyone immediately gathered around to see what was going on.

The content of the Di newspaper was undoubtedly astonishing. The chaos in the world that the ministers thought was not coming. Instead, aristocratic families from all over the country began to write letters begging for the emperor's forgiveness.

"This..." The courtier who spoke first turned pale and red, and he said calmly: "How could this be so? Do they dare not resist?"

Luo Fuzi read the newspaper of the residence twice, and then said calmly: "Don't be surprised, the world has changed. Those people have heard about the cruel methods of His Majesty today. Since Your Majesty is desperate to fight, it is early."

I was prepared to do whatever it took. Those people were afraid of death, so it was only to be expected that they would act like this."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not all aristocratic families are weak, there are many among them who are not afraid of death, but they do not want to see meaningless bloodshed.

During the reign of the late emperor, the aristocratic families and the imperial court were at odds with each other. The reason why the aristocratic families had the confidence to resist was because they saw clearly that the emperor did not intend to completely turn against him. They were arrogant that the emperor believed in the art of checks and balances and would not kill them all.

Although judging from the results, they were blinded last time. If the matter of immortality had not obscured the emperor's eyes, the family would have passed away long ago.

But this time they saw clearly that the new emperor really had no intention of joking with them at all, and he was just going to kill him when he came up.

Ying Wushang was born in a gangland, and his reputation was not prominent in his early years. The few times he made his reputation outside were by raiding homes and killing people. He was a person who "didn't know the importance". If he did it, the Wang family would be considered a dog.

He was merciful.

Because he knew that the emperor would not hold back because of his reputation, nor would he shrink back because he was worried that both sides would suffer losses, so the family was really panicked, and it was not unusual for someone with lucky intentions to appear.

But the reason why almost most of the aristocratic families have this kind of ostrich idea is because of the contribution of another person, the vice president of the academy - Qi Yunzhou.

As someone who wanted to replicate the achievements of his master and determined to become the second Luo Yuanjing in the future, this time the emperor took action against the family. Although he had no official position and was not under the imperial court, he still rushed forward as a vanguard.

to the front.

What he did was to lobby, and through his great prestige in Shilin and his sharp tongue, he gave the aristocratic family a long rope in the abyss.

Qi Yunzhou's eloquence is indeed excellent, but his choice of entry point is equally critical. The family was shocked and angered by the emperor's cruelty, and had plans to burn everything down, but in the end, the desire for survival exceeded the calmness of death.

The appearance of Qi Yunzhou gave them a glimmer of hope, preventing this group of people from completely falling into despair and making a desperate move, but this was the most fatal thing.

Due to Qi Yunzhou's lobbying, divisions emerged within the family. The hard-liners who advocated resistance were quickly disintegrated, and another group of forces who believed that the emperor would eventually show mercy began to expand.

The most eye-catching among them is the Chen family. Ever since the Chen family was divided into three points, the direct descendants of the Chen family under the leadership of the eldest lady Chen Yin have not had an easy time, especially since the Jin Yiwei crossed the river and demolished the bridge too fast. They could not react in time.

Abandoned son.

It stands to reason that people should not fall twice in the same place, but Chen Yin really has no better choice. There is a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back. Cooperating with Jin Yiwei is extremely risky, but if he doesn't cooperate with them, he will be in trouble.

It's going to be over soon.

Chen Yin had no choice but to ensure that the future of her direct lineage could still exist, rather than the possibility of killing the donkey in the future, so even though she knew that the emperor was going to be cruel to the family, she still chose to turn to the court.

The Wang family who ranked first in "Clan Chronicle" took a final bow, and stepped down in a tragic manner with a broken family. When this news came out, I don't know how many people sighed, how many people sighed, how many people were horrified, and how many people clapped their hands and applauded.

When the Jin Yiwei came out of the capital with the emperor's decree, there were signs of turmoil in the world. However, after Ying Wushang's thunderous methods bloodbathed the Wang family, the world became peaceful again.

Without him, the emperor's methods were too violent and harsh, which not only frightened those ambitious people.

At the same time, it also made the family realize in despair that once the emperor really fought regardless of everything, they would not be able to do anything other than become a splendid firework in the history books and injure the emperor for a moment.

Strength cannot be used easily, because once it is used, it will be easily discovered by others. In fact, you are nothing more than that.

The aristocratic family is now in such an embarrassing situation. The Wang family, which seems to be world-famous and has influence all over the nine states, can't even move a few times under the hands of Jin Yiwei.

The chaos expected by the court did not occur, and many officials began to realize that the family was not as powerful as they imagined.

Of course, this was also due to the continuous efforts of the previous emperors, but the root cause was that the new emperor struck too hard and too fast, which not only deceived the aristocratic family, but also awakened all the officials in the court.

The fall of the Wang family also marks a signal that times have really changed, and the family that once shared the world with the royal court will soon become a thing of the past.

In the following period, the imperial court's long-planned plan began to be launched, and actions against countless aristocratic families in the world began to take place step by step.

Everyone in the family is in danger, but this has nothing to do with the new emperor. Although the palace is very busy today, it is not because of the family affairs, but because the eldest son of the emperor has turned three years old and a suitable teacher needs to be selected for his enlightenment.

This little prince is both the eldest son and the legitimate son. It can be said that he is basically the confirmed heir to the throne, so the choice of his teacher is naturally of great importance.

The emperor also expressed his intention to recruit talents from all over the world to educate the young prince, which in disguise gave Qi Yunzhou room to operate. The family has no shortage of talents, especially big talents, so many hard-liners have been dismantled.

He began to think of ways to send people to the capital to hug the prince's lap and surround Wei to rescue Zhao.

But these are all trivial matters. For the people in the palace, the biggest impact of the little prince's enlightenment this time does not come from outside, but from within the palace.

Aunt Axiu, who had served in the palace for many years, suddenly said goodbye, which made both the queen and the concubine panic. There was no other reason than that it was too sudden.

"Aunt Axiu, why are you leaving?" Yongle and the little prince each held one of Axiu's hands, both of them had expressions of reluctance.

Axiu looked at the mother and son with some confusion. Perhaps because the elders were still alive and the emperor himself was not very prominent, Yongle's temperament had almost no change after the identity change.

Even though she is a mother of two children, Yongle still behaves like a child, which often makes Axiu quite helpless.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am the same age as your mother and concubine, do you think the queen still wants me to live in this palace for the rest of my life?" Axiu reached out and hugged the little prince, and then

While poking the other person's face, he said to Yongle.

"But..." Yongle lowered his head and muttered something that only she could hear. It was not that she was inconsiderate of Axiu, but she had been taken care of by him since she was a child. If he suddenly disappeared one day

Well, she...can't imagine such a day.

"Okay, if I have free time in the future, I will go back to the palace to visit the empress and the young highness." Axiu has decided to leave, and Yongle cannot force him to stay no matter how reluctant he is.

In the end, Axiu left the palace under the reluctant eyes of the elder and the younger. After she left, she took the decree she got from the emperor and went directly to the Meng Mansion accompanied by Qiu Qingyun.

"Uncle Qiu is here, please come in quickly. My nephew has prepared wine and food... Who is this?"

What greeted the two people in the Meng Mansion was the current central figure of the Meng family, Meng Yuan's eldest son, Meng Jin, and Qiu Qingyun. He naturally knew this person. This was his father's friend. Not to mention this relationship, the other party is now

He also holds a high position of power in the DPRK and is a person with whom it is very important to maintain a good relationship.

But the other one looked a lot more unfamiliar. Judging from her appearance and dress, she seemed to be an unusual woman. After all, few women in the capital could go out with a sword.
