Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 683 Who gave you the courage?
Generally speaking, you can't buy these things with money.

Since its establishment, the Ming Dynasty has strictly followed the class division of "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans".

Merchants belong to the lowly profession.

Very low status.

You are not qualified to participate in the operation of these things at all.

But Prince Fu was not an ordinary person, his status was even above that of a "scholar".

As a member of the Zhu family, he was naturally one of the people who enjoyed all the achievements of the Ming Dynasty.

With money and status, everything that follows will go smoothly.

Zhu Youjian never expected that although he was so good to Zhu Changxun, the other party did not appreciate it at all, but instead had already started planning how to get rid of him.

Yes.

Zhu Changxun has already begun to arrange for Zhu Youjian to step down.

According to Zhu Changxun's plan, this matter would not have happened so quickly, and Chongzhen should have been forced to step down after a few years.

Although the Prince Fu's Palace was already a huge place, it was still not strong compared to the imperial court.

In addition, there is still a lack of a strong claim to replace Zhu Changxun.

And he can continue to develop in the next few years.

Follow the path that our great grandfather took to conquer the world.

Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Who could have thought that such a big thing would happen in the eighth year of Chongzhen.

To some extent, although Zhang Xianzhong burned the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, which made Prince Fu extremely angry, he also provided Prince Fu with a good reason to force Chongzhen to step down.

Under your rule, Chongzhen, even the imperial tombs were burned down. How can you still have the face to stay on this throne?

Get down here!

Of course, the implementation of an idea requires a reason.

After thinking for a moment, Prince Fu came up with an idea.

Sin yourself edict!
"The Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was burned down, Zhu Youjian deserves to be put to death, and he must issue an edict of repentance!" Prince Fu made the decision and immediately began to arrange people.

On the other hand, Chongzhen once again started his killing journey.

The Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was burned down. Someone has to take the blame.
As an emperor, Zhu Youjian would definitely not do anything wrong, and he certainly could not take the blame.

Therefore, the person who takes the blame becomes a subordinate.

So Chongzhen picked up a knife and stabbed the convicted ministers fiercely.

The governor of Fengyang was killed.

The governors of five provinces were also killed.

Yang Yipeng, the Inspector General of the Grand Canal, was also killed.

Poor Yang Yipeng, a loyal minister who served the country for decades, was also beheaded by Chongzhen because he failed to rescue in time.

In addition, dozens of other officials, both big and small, were also beheaded by Chongzhen.

Some court officials advised Chongzhen to remain calm, saying that mass killings would only alienate the officials.

Chongzhen: Calm down! How can you ask me to calm down?

kill!

The news spread to the Central Plains.

Prince Fu was immediately shocked.

"Is Chongzhen crazy? He even killed Yang Dayou (Yang Yipeng, courtesy name Dayou). Does he have to make himself deserted by everyone to be happy?

You are not the great grandfather, holding a knife in your hand, with countless soldiers under your command, you can kill whoever you want, and do whoever you want. Who gave you the courage to kill so many people at once?"

Prince Fu didn't even know whether he should be sad or happy.

What is painful is that even a capable official like Yang Yipeng had to be slaughtered.

The good news is that once Chongzhen’s wave of people are killed, it’s basically over.

He had originally wanted to spend more time and effort, and connect with some ministers to make things more difficult for Chongzhen.

This process may involve some risks and may also be denied, opposed, or even reported by court officials.

But unexpectedly, Chongzhen would have reached the end of his rope without him having to do anything.

Prince Fu suddenly discovered that the obstacles blocking his way to the throne had basically disappeared.

Next, he only needs to wait for the moment when Chongzhen's edict of guilt is issued, and then take office. Of course, this process is definitely not as simple as it sounds.

There will definitely be some fighting, bloodshed, and even death.

But again:

The struggle for the throne has always been like this.

Zhu Changxun has spent so much money and supported so many people over the years.

Isn't it just for this day?

At that time, he only needs to raise his arm and call.

"My sons, take up the imperial city!"

Those ministers and soldiers who hope to gain the merit of following the emperor will send him to the most honorable position in the world.

But before that, he had to kill this guy Zhang Xianzhong first!
Zhang Xianzhong.

Die to me!
……

It's the end of November.

someday.

Zhou Mo had just finished his work on "I Want to Be the Emperor" for the day.

Suddenly received news from the company.

"Director Zhou, the purchase volume of 'I Want to Be the Emperor' has exceeded 1 billion."

"So fast?" Zhou Mo was surprised.

I had thought that the number of purchases of The Emperor would exceed one billion by at least early December, but I didn’t expect it to happen so early.

"Well, the company has collected some comments. The general reason is that the number of purchases of our TV series from the middle and late stages has been much higher than expected at the beginning.

The war scenes are exciting enough, the pace is fast enough, and the content is very exciting. The audience becomes addicted after watching it, so the number of purchases increases.”

Zhou Mo suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

The episodes of "The Emperor" that have been released so far have indeed entered the middle and late stages in terms of plot.

Prince Fu forced Chongzhen to retreat and ascended the throne to become emperor.

He first pacified the various "kings" in the country, and then turned his guns and marched north.

Along the way, they relied on the remnants of the "Qi Family Army" that they had collected before. After the "Qi Family Army" was revived, they defeated the Jian Nu and made them flee in panic.

If it were someone else, the audience might still find it unreliable.

But the "Qi Family Army" is indeed beyond reproach.

Historically, after Qi Jiguang made great contributions in suppressing the Japanese pirates in the south, he was transferred to Jizhou in the north and was in charge of military affairs in Liaodong area, where he successfully suppressed the north for more than ten years.

And this part of the plot is really cool.

The reason why it’s so cool is not only because of being able to win the battle, but also because of the extremely insane battle-to-damage ratio.

There are really many famous generals in Chinese history.

There are only the Ten Sages and Seventy-two Generals in the Temple of Martial Arts.

That’s a hundred less.

In addition, there are some who entered the Temple of Martial Arts but were later asked to leave, as well as some who were not considered in later dynasties due to time reasons.

Definitely more than a hundred.

Among such a vast list of famous generals, Qi Jiguang is definitely a very dazzling one.

Moreover, unlike other military generals, Qi Jiguang has a very exaggerated point, which is his insane battle loss ratio.

Looking at Qi Jiguang's military achievements, battles where one outnumbered several hundred often occurred.

In the era of cold weapons, this ability was almost like a myth.

You have to know that wars between cold weapons require close contact.

Qi Jiguang would often cause dozens of deaths in a war, which was almost like being a god.

"The Emperor" itself reproduced this record, then weakened it to a certain extent, and finally presented it in the TV series.

There is no way to weaken the record.

Otherwise the audience won’t believe it.
