I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 206: Northern rebellion! The civil war between the North and the South begins! Ma Wensheng discovered that Liu Jian’s house was ransacked! Liu Jian was shocked to hear the bad news!
The court was silent.

Many people have come back to their senses.

Same message.

Three days ago and three days later, the meaning was completely different.

At least, Zhu Houzhao had been angry three days ago, and they had three days of mental preparation and adaptation.

But at this moment, Zhu Houzhao, who looked calm, made the civil and military officials in Jinling feel even more terrifying.

Your Majesty, how on earth did he know this at the same time?

Could it be that Taizu and Taizong were really dreaming of foretelling warnings?
But that’s not right. How can dreams be so accurate?

Or could it be that Zhu Houzhao had already anticipated the actions that the cabinet would take and made political predictions in advance?
This is even more terrifying. The emperor can predict their next move, so isn't everything they have invisible to the emperor?

This directly shocked all the civil and military officials present with an invisible and ignorant feeling.

"Your Majesty, please give me a kiss. I and others deserve to die... I will separate from the Holy One..."

When they looked at Zhu Houzhao again, they felt terror and fear.

"minister……"

Then, he quickly spoke again. What he wanted was not this little bit of shock, but real power, real authority.

These two people must know something.

The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, is there really such a thing as destiny?
Lin Han noticed a hint of fanaticism towards Zhu Houzhao while Zhu Youqian and Huang Bao were calm.

Li Dongyang felt even more that he should capsize directly at the bottom of the West Lake, not here.

He suddenly became the scapegoat and executioner of the northern cabinet.

Li Dongyang felt his throat was blocked, and instantly felt that the letter in his hand was as heavy as a ton...

This is evidence of their rebellion and inaction.

After finishing reading, Li Dongyang was limp and fell directly onto the chair. His body was unconscious and soaked with sweat.

He said coldly: "This is my good cabinet! Does it mean that Taizong's mausoleum was bombed because I was not in the capital? Does it mean that...as long as our Emperor Zhu is not in the capital, we cannot protect our ancestors?" Isn’t the Ming Dynasty protected by our ancestors?”

Naturally, he first expressed his attitude of admitting guilt, and then talked a lot of nonsense about the cabinet's diligent work and hard work after Zhu Houzhao left Beijing...

Li Dongyang's hands trembled uncontrollably. He picked up the letter tremblingly and opened it several times with great effort before taking out the letter.

In short, only the first sentence of the cabinet is a confession, and the rest are all the fault of the uncles of the two countries, the queen mother, and the common people. They are purely non-stick...

Then... came the key words.

"It doesn't matter. Master Li, you may be too tired from the journey. Take a rest first, drink tea first, and then read it carefully. There is no one more suitable to read this letter than you."

There was a lot of nonsense, but Li Dongyang had to pause for a long time to read every word and paragraph.

Zhu Houzhao didn't urge him, but added a murderous sentence.

He even came here with some regret now.

Then, with trembling hands, he opened it little by little.

Jin Jinyeye's cabinet was cautious, but due to a sudden change, Taizong's mausoleum exploded.

"The country cannot be left without its owner for a day... I kneel down and ask Your Majesty to return to Beijing quickly to appease Taizong!"

Because as he read it, it felt like the cabinet itself was confessing its crimes, knowing so many things but letting them go unchecked.

Then in the end, he naturally complained bitterly and tried his best to persuade Zhu Houzhao to return to Beijing quickly to administer justice and appease Taizong!

No one needed to read the content of the letter, or even just listen to the beginning, to know that the old cabinet tradition of showing off writing was back.

After opening the letter, which was as thin as a cicada and as heavy as a stone, his eyes glanced at the first line of words, and the cold sweat on Li Dongyang's forehead fell.

"Li Dongyang, what does the letter say? You might as well read it to everyone. I really want to see how these traitors can confuse right and wrong."

Unfathomable!

"My lord, just read this..."

Once again he regretted his foresight.

There was even a glimmer of energy on Zhu Houzhao's body.

As soon as these words came out, Manchao Wenwu's eyes were like knives hitting him all at once.

Because this letter is very likely to cost the lives of hundreds of colleagues and their family members.

Playfulness, anticipation, curiosity, even ridicule.

Zhu Houzhao had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and was very satisfied with the shock he received.

What follows is a long description with a subjective tone, describing how the two brothers Zhang Yanling became lawless after Zhu Houzhao left. The cabinet tried their best to comfort them, but but... The Queen Mother, but various objective circumstances, but...

"My dear friends, have you heard this?"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and then scanned the court.

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were also arrested on the spot at Zhu Di's mausoleum.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Li."

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

All civil and military officials in the court immediately knelt down in fear, feeling Zhu Houzhao's overwhelming murderous intent.

"Calm down my anger! How can you tell me to calm down my anger!"

"There is something wrong with Taizong's mausoleum! It's all my fault! Doesn't their cabinet have any fault at all?"

"What kind of crime do they have? A crime of negligence? Ridiculous!"

"Rebellious ministers and traitors are rioting in our Ming Dynasty! After nearly a thousand years, the eternal joke of calling a deer a horse has appeared again! What do they take me for? Do they think I am the second emperor of Qin?"

Zhu Houzhao's roar resounded throughout the court!

He really felt chilling and frightened. The cabinet's ability to confuse right and wrong was simply more terrifying than the real enemy.

The key is that they are too good at whitewashing peace, too good at shirking responsibility, and too good at demanding the emperor from the moral high ground.

If he hadn't happened to get the clairvoyance given by the chat group, once the cabinet came up with this trick——

Today, he, Zhu Houzhao, has become a complete and utter fool!

He only cares about his own willfulness, disregards his ancestors, and disregards the country and the country!
And then...the cabinet still looks innocent!

They all win.

If he is not careful, his reputation will be ruined forever!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The courtiers knelt down and worshiped together again, their bodies trembling involuntarily, feeling the signs of drastic changes coming!
Qin II is here, isn't the Northern Cabinet equivalent to Zhao Gao!
"Calm down! How can I calm down?"

"What did the people here in the south say about me before? It's unreasonable! Killing Zhongliang! Willfully and cruelly!"

"What do the people in the north say about me! I am unfilial! I am ridiculous! I am unfilial to my descendants!"

"I can't figure out how I offended them!? Why do they want me to be infamy for eternity?"

"In this great world, is our world the only one that belongs to the capital? I just came to the south to worship my ancestors, and if I go out a little bit, I am unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous? Then, if I stay in the capital, I will be a good and filial emperor?"

"My filial piety! Should it be defined by the common people in the world! Or should they be defined?!"

The more Zhu Houzhao talked, the angrier he became, and the more he talked, the more excited he became!
"I have only left the capital for less than two months! Taizong was disturbed!"

"Then I have to be away for three months? Will my father's mausoleum be disturbed next?"

"Are the tombs of my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty all going to be blown up to the sky?"

"Should it take a little longer! My mother, the Empress Dowager, will also die~?!"

"If it takes longer, will the Ming Dynasty be destroyed!?"

The whole court was filled with Zhu Houzhao's roars, and...his roars were quite reasonable, and every word he spoke was from the bottom of his heart, and then became more and more terrifying.

As soon as this series of horrific consequences came out, all the civil and military officials were trembling with fear and their hands and feet were cold.

What is the emperor doing?
This crime is already serious enough, but can it be so serious that the cabinet is also responsible for the demise of the Ming Dynasty?
At this time, the civil and military officials no longer dared to persuade Zhu Houzhao, feeling that a heinous murder was about to happen.

"Your Majesty, please kill the rebellious traitors!"

Then, at this time, a righteous voice suddenly sounded.

Later, people saw Lin Han, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stand up resolutely and said with great seriousness: "There are treacherous ministers and traitors in the Ming Dynasty. Please give your Majesty an edict. I am willing to kill all the treacherous ministers and traitors for your Majesty! Give the Ming Dynasty a bright future!"

He didn't say much, and just kowtowed deeply after finishing speaking.

"I am also willing to kill all the traitors and traitors for Your Majesty! In order to uphold the principles of ethics and morality!"

Oops!

Such a good opportunity was snatched away by Lin Han.

At this time, Liu Zhong, the Minister of Rites, was anxious and quickly expressed his position, fearing that he would miss the opportunity to join the cabinet if he was too late.

"I am willing to kill all the traitors and traitors for Your Majesty!"

After these two people, others also reacted and expressed their opinions directly.

In an instant, the entire Fengtian Hall was filled with murder.

It’s rare for a monarch and his ministers to be of the same mind!

Li Dongyang was stunned again, looking at Lin Han, at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty... The entire southern cabinet wanted to take this opportunity to completely cleanse the northern officialdom, and completely turn over and become the master, right?

A piercing chill rushed from the soles of his feet to Tian Ling Gai, making him subconsciously want to comfort him.

"it is good!"

"I'm sure!" "Lin Han, please make a decree and tell the world! First, the northern cabinet is rebelling! At the same time, quickly post their rhetoric for the world to see! Let the world see their reaction. What a shame!"

"Second, the Northern Changling Guards rebelled! Allowing Taizong's mausoleum to be invaded is a complete dereliction of duty on their part!"

"Third, order the soldiers of Jiubian to exterminate the rebels on the spot!"

"Fourth, the crime of rebellion! Kill without mercy. Immediately kill Liu Jian and the nine tribes of Xie Qian! Whoever wants to side with them in the north will be killed without mercy!"

"Zhu Fu! The army is on the move! Northern Expedition to quell the chaos!"

"Xu Kuishan, quickly assemble the new army! Be ready to support at any time!"

"Lin Han, I appoint you as the third vice president of the Presidential Palace... Taizu Shuangchen Preparatory Cabinet will be directly reorganized into the Uprising Presidential Palace!"

"..."

Zhu Houzhao made a thorough decision just before Li Dongyang spoke. He not only announced the cabinet rebellion, but also announced the Changling Guard rebellion and organized a nine-sided army to directly destroy the thieves, completely shaking the foundation of the entire north!

As soon as this series of orders came out, the Jinling officialdom was even more buzzing.

Your Majesty, that’s not how expansion works, right?
It's enough for the cabinet to rebel, but it's also necessary to announce that Changling Guard has rebelled. This...

The emperor wanted to fight to the end in one go and choose to start the civil war between the north and the south directly?

So serious, so outrageous?
For a moment... they were all frightened!

Lin Han even broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that his jumping out for the position of vice president seemed to directly promote the civil war in the Ming Dynasty?

"Yes!"

But now the situation is obviously that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Can he disobey?
It seemed like he could only agree!
"Yes!"

Zhu Fu and Xu Kuishan shouted in agreement.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

At this moment, feeling Zhu Houzhao's awakening, the Jinling officialdom echoed in unison!

Li Dongyang's eyesight went dark and he almost fainted. He couldn't say a word of comfort in his throat.

Because he personally can no longer resist this surging trend, and he will die if he blocks it.

The disciple in front of me has finally become a master and has become a true dragon!
……

The meeting is over.

Under Zhu Houzhao's series of instructions, the entire Ming Dynasty machine started running directly on the spot.

The petition against rebellion had even been written long ago, as soon as the court meeting was over.

The General Administration Department directly informed the world.

As soon as this rebellious message came out, it was like a meteorite hitting the calm lake, directly causing an uproar in the entire Jinling!

At the same time, the entire murderous war order, like a storm, instantly exploded with Jinling as the detonating point.

The first thing to know about the approaching war is for the people of Jinling.

Because, before the court meeting, 10,000 armored soldiers had already formed an array outside Jinling City.

As soon as the appeal against thieves came out, Zhu Fu got the imperial edict.

He immediately rode out of the palace and led 10,000 forbidden troops to head north in an instant.

Ordinary people don't even know how it happened all of a sudden.

But... the fear of war engraved in the bones of countless Ming people still made them react immediately.

Various places in the south, which had been at peace for a long time, suddenly began to hoard food, and the people were frightened to the point of closing their doors, praying tremblingly that the war would not affect them.

Businessmen who smelled the smell of war began to take advantage of the opportunity to drive up prices and make a fortune from the war.

The entire southern provinces were instantly shrouded in the clouds of war.

Not to mention speculating on treasure money, all activities were stopped instantly and they directly made concessions for the war. Tens of millions of people in the southern provinces just stayed in place to watch and pray. In the face of this surging trend, all kinds of young people also chose to stay dormant. Dare to confront the state machinery.

At the same time, government orders one after another, especially those announcing a series of rebellions in the north, instantly passed through the Ming Dynasty's communication system and post system, reaching all over the country!

……

"The cabinet is treasonous!"

"The Changling Guards are plotting rebellion..."

When government orders are passed smoothly, the first people to get the news are naturally the inns and important transportation nodes.

When the prefects, county magistrates and post officials along the road received the decree from Jinling.

They were all frightened.

Then... they tacitly began to refuse to accept any political orders from the north, began to quickly interrogate everyone from the north, and... took the opportunity to start adding three more bells in preparation for the arrival of the heavenly troops.

When Xu Chu came to Xuzhou, Xuzhou was under martial law, and he was even asked to check the directions and identity.

Then, he also saw the city walls of Xuzhou, with all the troops ready in an instant.

"This... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he actually wants to start a civil war!?"

"He also directly announced that Changling Guards had rebelled and asked Jiubian to exterminate the rebels? Isn't this a blow to the cabinet?"

Xu Yan was also frightened. Even though he was mentally prepared, he didn't know how to describe the moment when the civil war came.

In particular, Zhu Houzhao's two subsequent instructions clearly left the soldiers to the cabinet.

The young emperor is really not afraid that war will start from now on, and the Ming Dynasty will never have peace?

However, after he carefully reviewed the current situation...if the emperor really didn't take extreme measures, there would really be no solution!
It's not that the emperor wants this, but that the behavior of the cabinet has crossed the bottom line.

For a moment, he looked to the north worriedly?
The North has been declared treason, can they really sit back and wait for death?

Moreover, the South has no troops, but the North has hundreds of thousands of troops. If this civil war really breaks out, can the South win?
Throughout the ages, only Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded in the Northern Expedition!
Xu Er was worried and speeded up the road again. He wanted to comfort Zhu Houzhao at the last moment when Zhu Houzhao stepped on the accelerator.

Xuzhou's reaction was naturally part of the war.

"The cabinet is rebellious!"

"I will refuse to listen to any orders from the cabinet!"

"Pass it... pass it on!"

"How, how did this come to this?"

Xuzhou, which Xu Yan passed by, was just a transit point. Soon, waves of administrative orders spread from the entire southern administrative system to the north like drums passing flowers.

This signal directly clarified the big and small kings for them, and they no longer had to listen to the orders of the northern cabinet.

The legitimacy of the northern cabinet was suddenly outlawed.

But the cold decree was not affected by their panic, and like a wave, it swept across the entire north from the south.

"no……"

"No, what's going on?"

"Aren't the two uncles rebelling?"

"Why did it suddenly turn into a cabinet rebellion and a Changling Guard rebellion?"

"Your Majesty, did they make a mistake!?"

Some people in the north were still immersed in the fun of seeing how Zhu Houzhao would end up in the south. When they received these decrees, they were all caught off guard, thinking that what they saw was a false order.

For a moment... they didn't know what to do.

But in the face of that cold and ruthless government order, they have to implement it even if they don't understand it, and they have to implement it even if they understand it.

Directly with all kinds of panic, this terrible news was spread to the south, adding fuel to the flames.

……

"Liu Jian was... his house was ransacked!"

"This...how could this happen?"

In Luoyang, Ma Wensheng had already arrived at Liu Jian's hometown in Luoyang before the signal for the start of the civil war was transmitted.

In front of him, Liu Jian's old house was dilapidated like a plague. It was all sealed, and countless people... were avoiding it like the plague.

The sudden decline of the Liu Jian family made Ma Wensheng break into a cold sweat and his whole body became cold.

Naturally, he couldn't figure it out, why did it get to this point all of a sudden?

It stands to reason that if this kind of news reaches the South, wouldn't it involve some political disputes and games?
How come it almost seems to be happening simultaneously? As soon as the cabinet took action, Jinling also took action. There was no time difference at all.

The current situation finally exceeded his worst estimate of the situation.

Then, Ma Wensheng discovered...he still couldn't do anything.

Because, regarding the situation in Luoyang, someone would obviously notify Liu Jian and the others faster than him.

……

Beijing.

A messenger quickly dismounted, passed the city gate, and started running towards Liu Jian's mansion.

Even if a series of people fell off their feet due to their inability to dodge along the way, he didn't care. He only had eyes for Liu Jian's family.

Finally, finally, just when he was about to run and collapse, Liu Jian's door came into view!
"Urgent report from Luoyang!"

"Mr. Ge's house was confiscated!"

"Quick, I want to see the chief assistant!"

He finally used up his last bit of strength and rushed to the concierge to bring the bad news.
