Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 32 Life Is Like Fireworks
The temple fair on the eighth day of April was even more lively. At that time, the government allowed the people to set off fireworks at night.

Zhu Houzhao and several Gu Ming ministers stood on the top of the city, watching the fireworks explode into colorful shapes, and they were very happy.

But, suddenly, he felt a chill down his back.

next moment.

Boom!

A huge explosion appeared at the lantern festival, and for a moment, there were cries and noises one after another.

swish swish
Figures shot up one after another, with crossbows tied to the backs of their hands.

These people were wearing white robes with black veils covering their faces, and the sun and moon logos were embroidered on the white robes.

The remnants of the White Lotus Sect appeared.

"Kill the Emperor Ming!"

"The emperor is at the head of the city, everyone kills the head of the city and beheads the emperor!"

"."

Shouting and killing.

The violent explosion in the air caused the people to panic, and they ran wildly around, even dispersing the Imperial Forest Army guarding the city.

A large number of masters of the White Lotus Sect were dispatched. .

Ten Dharma Kings, Four Great Dharma Protectors, and Shuangbi of the White Lotus Sect!
Many masters of the White Lotus Sect took turns to jump towards the city where Zhu Houzhao was located.

This was their only chance to kill Emperor Zhengde at close range.

Only this time, only a hundred feet away, as long as they break through the imperial forest army and kill the surrounding guards, they will be able to climb to the top of the city and kill the emperor.

All the masters of the White Lotus Sect came out, their eyes were filled with coldness, and their swords were shining.

Especially the Shuangbi of the White Lotus Sect, using the poisonous gas from Miaojiang, quickly killed a whole world.

The top ten dharma kings and four guardians of the White Lotus Sect are peerless contemporary masters, and their martial arts attainments have long since reached the point of perfection.

In the eyes of these people, there is no one else. They only recognize the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao, a man who is dressed differently from others.

Boom boom boom!
Shenjiying, who was guarding Zhu Houzhao's side, began to pull the firecrackers in his hands, and the bullets hit the head of Bailian who rushed towards him.

Soon, the leaders of the Bailian sect who took the lead were beaten to the point of bleeding and wounded all over their bodies.

Ouchi guards appeared from the shadows one after another, protecting Zhu Houzhao.

In the chaos, hundreds of White Lotus Sect members showed up again, and they rushed towards the top of the city frantically.

Seeing that Emperor Zhengde was being protected by the inner guards, the top ten Dharma kings and Dharma protectors of the White Lotus Sect rushed forward with all their might.

Even though Ouchi's guards were highly skilled in martial arts, they couldn't withstand the impact of these dozen or so peerless martial arts masters.

Puff puff!
Rows of hidden arrows shot up from the front.

"Be careful, Your Majesty."

At this time, a girl who came to the top of the city with Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and blocked Zhu Houzhao with her body.

A sharp arrow pierced the girl's body, and a stream of blood burst out immediately.

The arrow pierced through the body, apparently turning dark.It shows that the arrowhead was poisoned by the white lotus.

puff!

A big hand suddenly appeared, grabbing the flying arrow in the back.

Zhu Houzhao held the girl in his arms, tears came out of her eyes, but soon, the girl forgot to take a look at Zhu Houzhao, and was dying.

The Ouchi guards shot desperately, forming a human wall in front of Zhu Houzhao, and no more arrows came in.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded next to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun, came late because he was drunk and driving. I hope your Majesty will forgive you!"

As soon as Cao Zhengchun's voice fell, a lightning-fast figure descended from the sky!

"Damn you bastards of the White Lotus Sect, you all deserve to die!"

Cao Zhengchun grabbed the Shuangbi of the White Lotus Sect one by one, and tore them apart with all his might.

"Damn it all!"

Cao Zhengchun's figure appeared among the disciples of the White Lotus Sect, and he made a frantic move. In an instant, eight of the top ten Dharma Kings of the White Lotus Sect were torn apart.

The rest of the White Lotus Sect members stared at the scene before them in astonishment.

You must know that the ten Dharma kings and the four guardians are all masters in the White Lotus Sect, and they were also among the best existences at that time, but when they faced Cao Zhengchun, none of them even had a chance to fight back.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun was already red-eyed, he wished that all the remnants of the White Lotus Sect would be killed, and even uprooted.

Maybe Cao Zhengchun is nothing in front of Emperor Zhengde, but in front of many White Lotus followers, he is simply the existence of a devil.

In front of others, Cao Zhengchun is a devil, the father-in-law of Dongchang that everyone fears.

Cao Zhengchun's fierce reputation did not come from his tireless struggle. This Eunuch Cao's name was earned by him fighting all the way with a knife.

Cao Zhengchun was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the White Lotus Sect members immediately fled in all directions!
The followers of the White Lotus Sect scattered in all directions, and there were seven or eight arrestees, including the Ten Great Dharma Kings, the Four Great Protectors, and Shuang Bi, most of whom were killed or injured. Pulled to the East Factory.

Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang and Yuhuatian's Xichang formed a crushing attack on the White Lotus Sect.

They revolted in the capital, and just after they started their activities, they declared the end.

It’s not that the White Lotus Sect is not strong, it’s not that they are not united internally and don’t have experts, it’s just that they chose the wrong place to attack the emperor this time.

Dare to assassinate the emperor at the feet of the emperor in the capital, this courage, I don't know if we should praise them, or if they are really stupid.

Standing on the top of the city, Zhu Houzhao stared at everything in front of him, his brows filled with gloom.

He absolutely does not allow anyone to touch his throne, even if he wants to.

Looking at the dying maid in front of him, Zhu Houzhao covered his face and sighed.

He didn't even know the names of these court ladies and eunuchs, so some people stood up for him, just this kind of courage was admirable.

Although their lives are short, they live as brightly as fireworks in the sky.

This is the best meaning for this court lady to live.

She is a court lady, and she is not a draft pick in the palace.

20 years old is the most beautiful period for a girl of this age, in her prime.

but
Zhu Houzhao took a step back. He suddenly remembered what happened when he flipped the sign that night. He suddenly remembered that lively and lovely girl, her name was Lingling, and she was a woman who had been picked by accident.

When she appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao, she was not nervous at all, and she didn't even know what was going to happen next, so she just followed the emperor.

However, nothing happened next, and she bravely blocked the flying arrow with her body.

"Lingling, I remember you, and I will accompany you to the fireworks at any time."

Life is as bright as fireworks.
Standing on the top of the city, Zhu Houzhao watched the mess outside the city. What was supposed to be a good firework show turned into this in an instant.

The civilians in the city were killed and injured countless times, and the Imperial Forest Army was killed and injured countless times.

What a White Lotus Sect!

I am at odds with you!

At this moment, Shen Lian, commander of Jin Yiwei, arrived.

Xie Qian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, arrived.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian, arrived.

"The capital is under martial law. No one is allowed to enter or leave the capital. Anyone who violates the order will be beheaded!"

"Notify all prefectures and counties to strictly investigate the members of the White Lotus Sect, and anyone who joins will be executed!"

After Zhu Houzhao's words fell, Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, showed panic on his face. There are many followers of the White Lotus Sect, and most of them are probably illiterate ordinary people.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a bit too heavy to say about copying and beheading, and the number of people involved is too large, I'm afraid."

"Is it wide?"

Zhu Houzhao turned to look at Liu Jian, and said, "If it involves too much, then the three clans will be exterminated. Those who join the White Lotus Sect, no matter whether they are ordinary people, officials, or whoever they are, will be punished once they are thoroughly investigated. Clan, no mercy!"

Zhu Houzhao looked around at the crowd with a murderous look in his eyes.

　Ask for collection.
