Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The most untestable thing in this world is human nature, especially when interests are mixed in. Anyone who dares to shake the vested interests, even the aloof emperor, will definitely not hesitate when it is time to break up! !

Emperor?

If you don't push me to a dead end, then I will admit it and kowtow. Who doesn't know how to do this? Who cares about these falsehoods on the surface? What is in the palm of your hand is the most real thing.

But when the most real thing is gone and the path you can choose is gone, then there is only one way to go.

Another night.

Shimen Town.

"Ah~"

A soft sigh broke the silence. Zhu Youxiao, wearing a big cloak over his shoulders, stood in front of the imperial tent with his hands folded, looking up at the night covered by dark clouds, with a particularly complicated mood.

From yesterday's decision to rectify the Sanxie Twelve Road under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Town, to last night's arrangement of a group of reliable confidants to secretly go to various places to convey the decree, to today's resolution of some matters, Zhu Youxiao slept for less than three hours in total. , until now, Zhu Youxiao was not sleepy at all.

"Brother Emperor~"

"Your Majesty~"

The two voices that sounded from the darkness made Lu Jiude, who was serving in front of the emperor, frown slightly. His prince had not slept properly since last night. At this time, His Royal Highness King Xin and Prince Tang came to bother him. As the emperor, The house slave, Lu Jiude wanted to stop him.

In Lu Jiude's heart, he only recognized the emperor.

Without the emperor, Lu Jiude would not be where he is today.

One of the powerful eunuchs in the inner court, serving in the re-established Da Nei Xing Factory, second only to Han Zanzhou, the admiral of the Da Nei Xing Factory. This time the emperor left the capital to patrol the border, and he also appointed Lu Jiude to serve in front of the emperor. For Lu Jiude, He said that he must be interested in the dragon body of the emperor.

But Lu Jiude also knew that there were some things that he, the eunuch of the inner court, could not intervene in too much, even if his status in the inner court was not low.

"You haven't slept yet?"

Zhu Youxiao did not look back and spoke to Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian who were approaching.

"Brother Chen can't sleep."

"I can't sleep either."

After the two looked at each other, they raised their hands to Zhu Youxiao in a respectful salute.

"I can't sleep either."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, turned around and looked at the two of them, "Since you can't sleep, let's take a walk."

"Here!"

The two of them were busy bowing and saying goodbye.

Among these sect disciples who were specially summoned to Beijing, the one whom Zhu Youxiao valued most was Zhu Yujian, followed by Zhu Youjian, because he was the only one who fully understood Zhu Youxiao's temperament. Among the emperor's heirs, Zhu Cijiong After An Ran was born, Zhu Cijiong grew up vigorously. After gradually solving the difficulties he faced, Zhu Youxiao would favor a group of concubines, take in another group of concubines, and strive to have more princes, so that his throne would only become more stable. .

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao urgently hopes that a group of people can be found in the Ming dynasty to help him share his worries and confront the civil servants in the court and the vested interest groups. This will not only cut off the possibility that they will inherit the throne. Opportunities can also help him open up new situations.

At present, the only people who can shoulder this responsibility are Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian. As for the others, they still need to be guided carefully and passed many tests.

"I have been thinking about one thing these past two days. What caused the Ming Dynasty to be in today's situation." As Zhu Youxiao walked forward with his hands behind his back, his face showed a bit of sadness, and his words were filled with emotion.

When the accompanying Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian heard this, they looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces.

"I thought about it for a long time and figured it out, fight."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head, with a hint of joking in his brows, "Learning from history, these words sound empty and false, but if you think about it carefully, it is not bad at all, but too many people don't understand it at all. This truth.”

"The fight has been going on since Emperor Taizu Gao. How long did the fight between Huaixi and Zhejiang in the Hongwu Dynasty last? How many people were killed during this period, but what was the result? There is still no Fight to kill this one."

"And when it comes to Jianwen, forget it, he won't mention it..."

When talking about this, Zhu Youjian's expression was a little strange. Jianwen, this is a very taboo person. At least since the reign of Emperor Cheng Zuwen, anyone who dares to mention this matter will be severely punished.

The continuation of their lineage was due to Emperor Chengzuwen's success in appeasing the emperor, and they were able to continue as the Ming Dynasty's orthodoxy until now.

If the vassal reduction was really completed during the Jianwen period, Ming Dynasty would probably go another way, but no one can say what kind of path this will take.

Because Emperor Jianwen listened too much to the civil officials.

"I have counted all the dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, and the ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, Yuji, seem to have this situation to a greater or lesser extent."

Zhu Youxiao stopped and looked at Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian, "The country of the Ming Dynasty was obviously conquered by my Zhu family, but there are always some people who want to stand on the commanding heights of morality and hold it. The cards of the sages teach the emperor to do things and make him obedient. As long as the emperor does not do this, he is a coward, a tyrant, and a mediocre king, haha..."

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian were silent.

They didn't know what to say.

Originally they thought that the emperor would tell them about the rectification of Sanxie Twelve Road in Jizhou Town, but they did not expect that the emperor did not mention these things at all. Instead, he mentioned things that they had never thought about.

"I couldn't understand it before, especially since I arrested and killed many people in Beijing, I still can't understand why they did this."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves and said: "Until I visited the border this time, I figured it out. In the eyes of politicians of all generations, the emperor should just stay in the Forbidden City and be a good man. As for governing the country, As for governing all the people in the world, it is enough to have them, just don’t worry about anything else.”

"So this has also led to the fact that the party struggles of the past dynasties cannot be stopped at all, because fundamentally, this is a struggle between imperial power and ministerial power!!"

"If the emperor really does what those politicians think, then there will never be any fairness in the world, because the ones who trample on fairness the most are precisely these politicians who are in power. Their true intentions may not be shaken until they are in power. , will not be stained, but after taking power, anything is possible.”

It was also when he was talking about this, Zhu Youxiao's hanging hands clenched tightly.

Privileges must be suppressed and bound!

Power must be supervised and restricted!

This idea became stronger in Zhu Youxiao's heart after he left Beijing to patrol the border, because he already knew where the root of the Ming Dynasty's decline lay.

"Brother Emperor~"

Seeing his royal brother like this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but stepped forward and said, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden cry of killing.

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

Under the silent night, although the shouts of killing coming from far away were already very small, Zhu Youxiao and the others could still hear them from their location.

"Escort!!"

It was also under this situation that shouts rang out from the area where the imperial tent was located. Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shitai and others who were wearing armor and carrying swords were already shouting everywhere.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian, who were gathered around Zhu Youxiao, looked around cautiously at this moment. Compared to Zhu Youjian's suppressed panic, Zhu Yujian's brows were actually a bit excited when he was alert.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, the two study ministers closest to the imperial tent ran towards the imperial tent one after another. When they saw the emperor wearing a big cloak, Shen Tingyang, Li Yan and other people were outside the tent and they all ran over quickly. .

However, before they could reach the imperial court, they were blocked by the imperial eunuchs led by Lu Jiude. These eunuchs and eunuchs were all strong and strong, and they were all selected from the martial eunuchs.

"really."

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, and hearing the shouts of death coming from a distance, Zhu Youxiao, who was standing with his hands down, showed a half-smile but not a smile.

Obviously, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised at all by what was happening now, and even Zhu Youxiao thought that there must be a mutiny somewhere, and it happened to be where he was stationed.

"Your Majesty, please move."

Lu Jiude, holding a fly whisk, looked to the left and right with vigilance, and whispered to Zhu Youxiao: "The situation is unclear at the moment, the emperor has a body of thousands of gold..."

"No, I'm right here."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "I want to see what kind of trouble these young people are going to cause."

Move?

Where can it be moved?

When stationed in Shimen Town, the imperial tent is undoubtedly the most important place. If he moves to the imperial tent, can this ensure his absolute safety?

cannot! !

Since this is the case, then he, the great emperor, cannot show any weakness. If he is in chaos, the people below will also be in chaos.
