Chapter 72 The beginning of the emperor's demise

Chapter 72 The beginning of the emperor's death

Yun Zhao stood at the door of the Forbidden City, looked inside, but did not go in, and went straight to the palace Xu Wu thought of having arranged for him.

Many people were deeply disappointed by His Majesty's actions that His Majesty did not enter the Forbidden City.

Although the people in this city have restored this brilliant palace as much as possible and have searched for a large number of things that originally belonged to the Forbidden City and were wandering outside during the war.

Although this imperial city has been built and cleaned up by them, it is much more magnificent than the Chongzhen period, Yun Zhao still doesn't want to enter... In his mind, although the building of this imperial city is an indispensable highlight in the Ming Dynasty's art treasure house, the most ridiculous, shameless, hazy, despicable, and unbearable group of people living here have lived here.

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

In this city, there are many luxurious mansions for princes and ministers. Of course, Yun Zhao would not enter these places.

Although the palace Xu Wu wanted to build by the Jinshui River was not big, it was also exquisite and warm.

Yanjing in winter is not worth mentioning.

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

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

After having these people, Yanjing City, which had just recovered its vitality, 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, the Forbidden City became a museum. In terms of status, the Ming Dynasty was second only to the Yushan Museum.

The difference from the Yushan Museum is that the collections of Yushan Museum are extremely rich, but they don’t charge any money. When entering the Forbidden City Museum, they have to pay 100 copper coins.

Even with such high prices, there are endless people entering the Forbidden City Museum.

After all, you can spend a hundred copper coins to sit on the emperor's dragon throne and peek at the place where the emperor's concubine lives? You can also really try the tea and wine served by real eunuchs? The palace maids? Taste the dishes in the imperial kitchen... but the price is very expensive.

These things were things that Yun Zhao had told Xu Wu to prepare long ago? Xu Wu had already prepared them and was implemented after the emperor arrived.

In such a huge Forbidden City, there are more than 2,100 homeless eunuchs and palace maids? These people cannot be ignored in the dynasty? If everything is ignored, their fate will be very miserable.

Letting these people continue to work in the service industry they are familiar with is a good way out.

But unlike in the past, can they continue to receive their salary? Yes? It is salary. This is a term specially given by Yun Zhao to improve their identity. Although it is just a statement, it makes the eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City grateful.

In the past, when serving noble people, there was always a worry about life. If noble people have a bad temper, they would vent their anger. If they hit noble people, they would be beaten to death? Or they would be burned to the ground. As for money and food... it was just a legend for many eunuchs and palace maids.

It’s different now?                                                                                                                            �

Their lives were very happy... Only Yun Zhao was criticized by all the gentry of the Ming Dynasty!

The memorial against Yun Zhao's opening of the Forbidden City was burned when it arrived at Zhang Guozhu.

Yun Zhao believed that he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and that he recognized his emperor status as the people of the Ming Dynasty, not this imperial city. If the people recognized him, even if he sat in a pigpen and worked, he would still be the supreme emperor.

If the people do not agree, even if they live in the imperial city, they will drink poisonous 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 planning to build a mountain mausoleum!

He also warned officials that if he dared to talk about living in the imperial city and building mountain monuments, he would burn the imperial city to fire, and after he died, his body would be burned to ashes, and finally sprinkled on the Ming Dynasty territory.

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

Since the emperor is unwilling to be a grand funeral, the kings, princes, generals and ministers can only be buried like ordinary people, and cannot have those cumbersome benefits.

Abolish the old system!

This is something that every scholar can feel.

The emperor was going to visit Yanjing and prepare to completely and cleanly remove the old system!

The emperor's dragon throne in the Golden Palace can sit for a while. If you are willing to spend ten silver dollars, there are officials pretending to be the official crowns standing beneath and listening to you announce the major affairs of the state.

If the money given exceeds one hundred silver dollars, these former eunuchs and palace maids can even kneel down to you and shout "Long live."

After this serious incident of trampling the former royal family into the soil in the Forbidden City.

However, Yun Zhao issued the Qiu Decree Order in the name of the emperor!

The 6,427 death row prisoners in the Ming Dynasty were taken to Caishikou for execution on the same day. After the executive recited the emperor's will, the 6,427 death row prisoners fell to the ground at three o'clock in the afternoon.

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

"Your Majesty, why do I feel that I am humiliating you too?"

Yun Zhao glanced at Han Lingshan and said, "What do you mean is that no one can sit on the stool I have sat on, right?"

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

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu said in a silence: "Your Majesty, Minister Han has sat on the chair in the big study six times. The most extreme time is when you were drinking in the big study, he stepped on the chair with his feet, which was extremely ruthless."

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

Han Lingshan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this chopped?"

Yun Zhao said angrily: "Isn't this based on the rules you said?"

Then, he looked at Zhang Guozhu's face.

Zhang Xiu said insidiously: "On April 16, China, His Majesty discussed state affairs with the Prime Minister until dawn. While His Majesty was looking up the map, the Prime Minister fell on His Majesty's chair and fell asleep for half an hour.

On September 18, 2018, after hearing that General Han Xiufeng won a great victory in Malacca, His Majesty, Minister Han, and Minister Qian sang happily. The three of them took turns stepping on His Majesty's seat and singing. Minister Han also broke His Majesty's chair."

Yun Zhao looked at the dull Zhang Guozhu again and said, "What's there to say? I'll pull it out and chop it."

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

When he went out, he saw Qian Shaoshao preparing to enter. Han Lingshan grabbed Qian Shaoshao and said, "Don't go, there is a risk of being cut."

Qian Shaoshao said, "Then I have to wait until I finish my words before cutting them."

Zhang Guozhu shook his head and said, "There is nothing to say. Your Majesty is determined to change customs and be prepared to completely pull the emperor off."

Qian Shaoshao said, "It's not bad. Your Majesty himself is better off getting off the dragon throne than being pulled down by the people and beheaded." As he said, he shook the clerk in his hand and said, "The King of England was hanged."

Yun Zhao, who was standing in the gate, smiled and said, "This is an era where you are proud of killing the emperor. Look, in the future, more emperors will be hung, beheaded, fled, or exiled... In this era, the most valuable thing is the emperor's head."

Zhang Guozhu was surprised and said, "We won't."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Sometimes everyone has no choice but to do so, listen to me and change this society. While I still have the courage to change, don't delay. If my courage disappears, I won't mention this matter in the future."

Zhang Guozhu said angrily: "We are actually the donkeys you whip. We have already run so fast, and you still have to whip!"

After saying that, he took Hanlingshan and Qian Shaoshao left.

The documents that Qian Shaoshao brought were very comprehensive, telling the complete story of the political struggle between King Charles I of England and Cromwell. Now that the struggle is over, Cromwell, who represents the new noble, won, and Charles I was beheaded.

There is never any kindness in political struggles.

Fifty-nine of the members of the 135 special courts signed the order to kill the king, issued by Cromwell.

The charge was to betray his country and his people.

The number of people is not more than half, so it has nothing to do with fairness, but with power.

The British king's immortality actually had no impact on the Ming Dynasty. Han Xiufen, who barely had some influence. He took advantage of the gap that Earl Nelson resigned as the commander of the fleet because of dissatisfaction with the Cromwell regime and quietly drew the Ming Dynasty's interest line in India by one hundred kilometers westward.

When Yun Zhao arrived in Yanjing, Li Dingguo led the guards to come back from Liaodong day and night to meet the emperor. As for the army, all the troops were handed over to Commander Zhang Guofeng, it was not only Li Dingguo, but also Jin Hu who came to meet.

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 on their faces. When Yun Zhao saw them, he could no longer find any similarities between them and before.

Li Hongji went to the extreme north, and Dorgon also went to the extreme north. It seemed that they had already lost the idea of ​​returning to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Li Dingguo's main task in Liaodong was to eliminate those who were entrenched in Liaodong and did not follow Li Hongji and Dorgon left.

These people were determined to be unwilling to accept the rule of anyone, even the Ming Dynasty, and hid in the white mountains and black waters 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 it is very annoying. Since Li Hongji and Dorgon left with most of the people, these people have no other way to obtain supplies from the Central Plains except to plunder the army.

The result of plundering the army, especially the plundering of the fierce soldiers under Li Dingguo, is completely imaginable.

"Your Majesty, they have become savages who eat raw meat and drink blood."

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

"I will obey the order."
