Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The snow is still falling.

The wind is still blowing.

The crowds of people outside Zunhua City respectfully greeted the emperor, all of them knelt down to listen to the emperor's will. The Ming Dynasty practiced the ritual of kneeling and worshiping. The highest standard was five bows and three kowtows. It was a necessary etiquette for worshiping heaven and meeting the emperor. This ritual can only be performed on specific occasions.

Etiquette is a certain number in the Ming Dynasty.

Etiquette cannot be abolished. This is by no means a sign of pedantry, let alone stubbornness, but a concrete manifestation of Chinese civilization.

Just like kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, you have to kneel, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and you will not kneel otherwise. It is not like the Taqing people who kowtow at every turn. Their knees are so weak that they are disgusting!

"Hey, yo~"

Outside the huge Zunhua City, except for the sound of horses honking from time to time and the sound of flags blown by the wind, there was no other sound.

Time is passing minute by minute.

There was no movement from the imperial chariot, and there was no one to convey even the emperor's oral instructions, which made many people inevitably feel nervous.

Many of the people who greeted the emperor in Zunhua began to look around, especially those who were hiding their thoughts, and their heartbeats inevitably accelerated a lot.

"Da da!"

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence, causing many people to raise their heads slightly. They all wanted to know what would happen next.

Under some surreptitious gazes, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian were seen riding horses. They were both wearing yellow brocade robes with four-clawed dragon patterns. The right sleeves of the dragon robes were on the chest, back and shoulders. Woven with a four-clawed dragon pattern. Twelve small dragons are woven on the front and back respectively, and the dragons are separated by Ruyi cloud patterns. Wearing this round dragon robe on the body, it all brings out the unique style of Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian!

Compared with Zhu Youjian, who has been canonized as King Xin, Zhu Yujian, as the grandson of the Tang Dynasty prince, is still in a very unusual mood. After all, this dragon robe can only be worn by the princes and princes of the vassal vassal!

Zongfan?

Many people were shocked when they saw Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian being surrounded. According to the Ming Dynasty, vassals could not interfere in military affairs. When they reached their age, they had to go to the vassal territory to join the vassal.

Even though many people know that the emperor is very fond of His Highness King Xin, and even summoned a group of sects to the capital, this matter is also discussed in the capital. However, on such an occasion, even if it is to read out the emperor's oral edict, it is not possible. It's time for the eunuch of the inner court to come forward.

Why did the emperor let Zongfan come forward?

This is against the rules!

"The Emperor, who is bound by heaven, said: I heard a lot in Beijing that the armaments are low..." While everyone was thinking, Zhu Youjian picked up a letter of imperial edict and read it out loud, which made many people highly concentrated.

"...Originally I didn't believe these rumors, but since I left Beijing, I inspected Tongzhou, Sanhe, Jizhou and other places, and found many evils!!"

When reading this, Zhu Youjian's mood was a little different.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but think of all the things he had experienced along the way.

Especially the successive assassinations in Tongzhou and Shimen Town were simply unacceptable to Zhu Youjian, who attached great importance to etiquette and law.

The majestic emperor, the co-ruler of the world, was actually assassinated by gangsters many times.

Is this still the Ming Dynasty? !

no! !

"I am stationed in Zunhua today to clean up Zunhua's armaments. I heard that Zunhua is eating empty wages, drinking soldiers' blood, sparing drills, and stealing armaments. There is a strong trend!!"

When the people who were kneeling on the ground heard this, their expressions changed drastically. No one thought that the emperor's imperial chariot had just arrived in Zunhua, and had not even entered Zunhua city yet.

The emperor actually issued such a decree.

"Since there are traitors who violate the law and ignore the imperial court, I have nothing to say. I will investigate them all and punish those who dare to resist as treason!! Your Majesty."

As Zhu Youjian read out the imperial edict, Zhu Yujian, who was riding a horse next to him, immediately stepped forward on his horse. Following Zhu Yujian were hundreds of Shangzhi personal guards.

"Where is Liu Maochun, deputy commander-in-chief of Zunhua!!!"

Zhu Yujian's shouts sounded, which immediately caused the atmosphere to change suddenly.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here."

Facing the countless gazes, Liu Maochun, who was in front of the team, subconsciously said, even now, Liu Maochun still thinks that the emperor dare not do this.

There has been such a big commotion in Zunhua since the beginning, so the emperor is not afraid of a mutiny in Zunhua?

"Take it!!"

However, Zhu Yujian's shout broke Liu Maochun's illusion, and several of the accompanying Shangzhi personal guards immediately rushed out and ran quickly towards Liu Maochun with their swords in hand.

"What are you going to do! Let me go!!"

Liu Maochun, who had not yet reacted, saw several strong men walking towards him and even controlled them regardless of the occasion. Liu Maochun immediately shouted.

"Qi Jinfa, Zheng Wanfu, Zhang Kuisheng, Li Maocai..."

Zhu Yujian's shouts continued, and as more names were called, the noise in front of the imperial chariot began to increase, and there were even shouts.

"What are you going to do!"

"What an injustice!!"

"Hunjun!! You listened to the slander..."

These sounds reached Zhu Youxiao, who was leaning on the cushions where the imperial driver was. After hearing these shouts, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On the other hand, Sun Zushou, who was waiting in front of the emperor, became nervous at this moment. He did not expect that the emperor had just arrived in Zunhua and started arresting people.

Doing this can easily cause chaos in Zunhua! !

"His Majesty…"

Thinking of this, Sun Zushou bowed to the emperor.

"I know the concerns of your family."

Zhu Youxiao interrupted, looked at Sun Zushou and said, "I arrested so many people when I came here. I'm afraid that chaos will break out in Zunhua soon."

"I will wait outside Zunhua City. The Qing family should return to the city. We will surround all the residences of these arrested people and ransack their homes! Anyone who dares to resist will be punished as treason."

"From now on in Zunhua, you are only allowed to enter but not to leave, and no one is allowed to escape. I want to see if this can be exchanged for the inability to assassinate!"

hum.

Sun Zushou's heart beat faster.

"You Qing, please return to the Santun camp now." Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention to Sun Zushou's reaction. Instead, he looked at You Shilu aside and said calmly: "What I just said just now is exactly what I said. I passed it on to Wang Shiqin."

"I...I obey your order!"

You Shilu, who could not hide his surprise, immediately bowed and bowed.

The emperor is too cruel.

But in the bottom of You Shilu's heart, there was a different emotion.

However, You Shilu didn't know that with the current situation, it would be impossible not to be ruthless. Instead of letting those with disloyal intentions prepare themselves to make trouble, it would be better to just open it. They are all abscesses anyway, so squeeze them out early. If it breaks, it is better than squeezing it out later. This is what Zhu Youxiao thinks! !
