Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The guards immediately stepped forward, helped the princess up from the ground, and then took her away.

Chu Ze looked at her departing back and sneered in his heart.

He knew very well that this Xixia princess was by no means a good person, and that keeping her was for a bigger purpose.

When she completes her mission, she will disappear completely.

Princess Xixia was escorted out of the hall by the guards, and her back looked extremely lonely and desolate.

She was once the supreme being in this land, enjoying supreme honor and endless favor.

But now, all of this has come to nothing.

She has fallen from a high and mighty princess to a pawn of Chu Ze, with even her life and death in his hands.

"I will make you regret it..." The princess swore secretly in her heart, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Although he surrendered temporarily, he would never be willing to become Chu Ze's puppet.

As long as there is a chance, I will fight back and take back everything that belongs to me.

However, the princess also understood that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to her.

Chu Ze not only has outstanding military talent, but is also meticulous and ruthless, and is by no means comparable to ordinary enemies.

It will definitely not be a matter of a day or a night to take the initiative back from him.

She had to be patient and wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that could turn the tide.

Chu Ze no longer paid attention to the princess's thoughts. He was now concentrating on the next strategic deployment.

He knew that although Western Xia had been severely damaged, its remaining forces could not be underestimated.

Especially those tribal leaders and local tyrants who have substantial influence in Western Xia. Once they unite, they can still pose a threat to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

"Pass the order down," Chu Ze said in a deep voice. The unquestionable majesty in his tone made everyone present feel oppressed, "Order all generals to divide their troops into four groups from now on and completely wipe out all resistance forces in Xixia.

Regardless of whether they are tribal leaders or local tyrants, anyone who disobeys the Ming rulers will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison.

Chu Ze's order was not only to consolidate the Ming Dynasty's rule in Western Xia, but also to completely eliminate any possible hidden dangers.

Chu Ze waved his hand, signaling the generals to retreat.

Standing alone in the center of the hall, thinking quietly.

The situation in Western Xia has been basically under control, but there is always a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, as if some potential crisis is quietly approaching.

"Western Xia has been conquered, but the world is still not at peace." Chu Ze muttered to himself, frowning.

At this moment, a guard hurried into the hall, interrupting his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the border. The grassland tribes in the north have suddenly united and assembled a large army. They seem to be planning to invade the border of our Ming Dynasty!"

Chu Ze frowned even more tightly when he heard this.

The northern grassland tribes have always been unruly, and their cavalry are brave and fearless, posing a threat to the Ming Dynasty's border defenses on many occasions.

Now that Western Xia has just been conquered, the northern grasslands are also ready to move, which is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

"It seems that this storm is more severe than I expected."

A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Send the order to immediately mobilize the border garrison to strengthen the defense. At the same time, send out scouts to closely monitor the movements of the grassland tribes."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guard took the order and left.

Chu Ze stood there, his eyes as cold as ice. "Do these villains really think I am easy to bully?"

"Since you are unwilling to abide by the law, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

Chu Ze sneered, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He turned to look at the Jinyiwei commander beside him and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass on my order, immediately surround the Wang family mansion, no one is allowed to enter or leave! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

The commander of the Jinyiwei took the order and left, but his heart was filled with shock. The Wang family was one of the most powerful and influential families in the capital. The emperor actually wanted to take action against them. This was a big deal that was going to break the world!
But he did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He immediately gathered his men and rushed to the Wang family mansion.

At the same time, in the Wang family mansion, Wang Zicong was hugging Li Xuan, enjoying the gentleness of the relationship. He had no idea that a catastrophe was about to befall him.

"Mr. Wang, do you think that kid Gu Ci was really captured by the people from Yanyu Pavilion?" Li Xuan asked in a tender voice, snuggling in Wang Zicong's arms.

Wang Zicong snorted disdainfully: "Just him? What kind of place is Yanyu Pavilion? How can a small fry like him enter?"

"I think he was probably so scared that he hid himself and didn't dare to show up again."

Li Xuan chuckled, her eyes seductive: "Mr. Wang is right. Gu Ci is just a coward."

The two were flirting when suddenly the housekeeper ran in in a panic.

"Oh no, sir! Something terrible has happened!"

The butler shouted breathlessly, his face pale.

"Outside. Outside, we are surrounded by a group of soldiers! They said they were following the Emperor's order and wanted to confiscate our property!"

"what?!"

Wang Zicong and Li Xuan were so frightened that their faces turned pale in an instant.

"How could this happen? Why did the emperor raid our house?" Wang Zicong asked in panic.

The housekeeper said with a sad face: "I don't know! Those soldiers came in aggressively without saying a word and injured many of our servants!"

Wang Zicong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pushed Li Xuan away and roared:
"How can this be! My Wang family has been loyal for generations and has made great contributions to the court. The emperor actually wants to confiscate my family? This is simply outrageous!"

He rushed out of the room angrily, wanting to argue with the officers and soldiers. However, as soon as he left the house, he was stopped by several Jinyiwei wearing flying fish uniforms.

"Wang Zicong, you are suspected of colluding with the rebels and plotting rebellion. Now, you have been arrested!"

The leading Jinyiwei said coldly, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty.

When Wang Zicong heard this, he was struck by lightning. He looked at the Jinyiwei in front of him in disbelief, and felt that the whole world was collapsing.

"No, this can't be possible. This has to be a mistake." He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with despair.

However, the Jinyiwei would not listen to his excuses. They rushed forward, tied up Wang Zicong, and took him away.

Li Xuan was so frightened when she saw this that she hid in a corner, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

Soon, the entire Wang family was controlled by the Jinyiwei. All property was confiscated and all servants were arrested.

The once glorious Wang family was completely destroyed overnight.

When the news reached the palace, Chu Ze just smiled faintly.

"Do your own fault, don't live."

He said softly, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"The Wang family abused their power to bully others and exploit the common people. They should have been punished long ago."

Qin Yunyun, who was standing by, frowned slightly when she heard this.

"Your Majesty, although the Wang family deserves to be punished, they are a century-old family with deep roots. Will uprooting them this time cause unrest in the court?" (End of this chapter)
