The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 125 The Prince's Thoughts

Among the more than 100,000 people, there were more than 60,000 martial artists and nearly 50,000 to 60,000 bandits.

Among them, more than half know some martial arts.

There are countless people who have survived a life of crime.

How to deal with them? Even how to imprison them? It is a big problem.

But compared to the harvest, it is nothing.

In the entire Shanxi Jin area, except for the righteous martial arts forces, all other evil spirits were almost wiped out by them.

Even the righteous martial arts forces quietly retracted their tentacles.

Because in their opinion, the court had gone crazy this time.

Wuzheng Villa is still helping the imperial court with almost all its strength.

If they did something wrong at this time, the imperial court might take action against them.

A feeling of awe has enveloped all the remaining martial arts forces in Jin, including the escort agencies.

All in all, what the imperial court gained was a Jin territory that was about 70% clean.

The harvest is so great that it is hard to describe in words.

The next task for Cao Zhengchun and others is simple, but by no means easy.

It goes without saying that the seized treasures, land, businesses, etc. must be checked.

It is also necessary to keep the cleansed Jin area stable and clean.

Today, most of the interest groups in Jin have been wiped out.

There must be countless people from all directions, including the remaining righteous martial arts forces in Jin, who are eyeing this power vacuum zone.

Of course, now is the time when the storm is at its peak, and no one should dare to take action.

What's more, the main force of the Censorate is still in Jin.

But the storm will pass, and the main force of the Censorate will leave Jin.

By then, Jin will surely be a big piece of fat meat in the eyes of many people.

It took a lot of effort to clean up Jin so thoroughly, Zhu Houzhao would definitely not let the wolf of wealth invade Jin again.

The most important thing next is how to govern and clean up the Jin area.

This matter had been planned before.

Before the plan begins, the factory guards and the army must ensure the stability and cleanliness of Jin.

As time passed, the chaos in Jin gradually returned to normal.

The harvest statistics increased significantly every day, which made Cao Zhengchun and others feel nervous.

Too much!
At this time, the major forces of the Ming Dynasty, which were shocked by the events in Jin, were diverted by another incident.

On June 8, Zhu Houzhao officially issued an edict, summoning all the princes, dukes and their sons of the Ming Dynasty to come to Beijing before August to discuss the future of the Zhu royal family.

The last eight words are written exactly like this.

Although this matter was considered big, it was not enough to attract the attention of various forces in the Ming Dynasty.

The key point is that Zhu Houzhao had just taken action against the kings of Jin.

There was no intention of showing any mercy. Three princely palaces and more than a dozen county princely palaces were raided, and the entire family was being taken to the capital.

You should know that the throne of Zhu Houzhao's lineage was obtained through the successful rebellion of Zhu Di, who was then the Prince of Yan.

Zhu Houzhao was so ruthless at this time and summoned all the princes, dukes and their sons to the capital, which made it clear that he had no good intentions.

With such precedent, would any vassal king dare to rebel?
Zhu Houzhao, court officials, and various martial arts forces were all watching.

Many expectant eyes were flashing everywhere.

Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

There is a famous prince's palace here, Prince Ning's Palace.

The eyes of the contemporary Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao flickered.

After a moment's silence, he said eagerly, "What do you think? If I take this opportunity to raise an army, will it be possible for me to succeed?"

There were two figures in front of him, both dressed as scholars.

One is fat, and the other looks a bit vicious.

Hearing Prince Ning's words, the two of them changed their expressions. The fat man said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although the current emperor has committed atrocities and offended the martial arts world, the vassal kings and other major forces.

But the public sentiment has not yet reached a point of indignation. Even if we raise an army, I am afraid it will be difficult to get help from the major forces."

"That's right, Your Majesty. Our current strength is far from being strong enough. Once we start the war, the Emperor's Dragon Cavalry will probably arrive in less than half a month, and we will undoubtedly be defeated." The vicious man sighed softly.

"So will I go to the capital like this? Once I go to the capital, who knows what that kid will do to me?" Zhu Chenhao slapped the armrest and said angrily with some uneasiness and fear.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. The Emperor summoned all the princes and dukes of the Ming Dynasty to the capital together. It should not be to murder the princes.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful Your Majesty is, you will lose the support of the people. "The fat man pondered.

"Losing the people's hearts? Ha, will that kid be afraid?

He directly cleansed up the entire Jin area, and even said publicly that he didn't recognize his relatives, so what is he afraid of losing the support of the people? "Zhu Chenhao said angrily.

"Your Majesty, no matter how unscrupulous the emperor is, he should not murder all the princes."

The fat people also had a headache when they thought about those things. For thousands of years, there has never been such an emperor.

It would be fine if he was just strong, but the key is that he is too young, too aggressive, overbearing and unscrupulous.

However, he still believed that it was impossible for the emperor to murder all the princes.

Unless the emperor is really crazy.

Zhu Chenhao was silent for a while, feeling somewhat discouraged. He also knew that even if Zhu Houzhao had done something that had offended people from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible for him to succeed in his rebellion.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old Grandmaster at the pinnacle of his realm, a Martial Emperor Dragon Rider who is feared by all the world.

In addition, the emperor has a sense of justice and the court has a profound foundation.

At this moment, people from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how dissatisfied they were, had to endure it.

"Then what should I do when I go to the capital?" Zhu Chenhao said anxiously. "Your Majesty should obey the emperor, but you must not take the lead in everything." The fat man said immediately.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Emperor is too ambitious. Perhaps he will allow the princes to hold real power?

This trip to Beijing might not be a bad opportunity to gain military power." The vicious man pondered.

Zhu Chenhao's eyes lit up and he nodded.

Southern Palace.

As the biological son of Emperor Xianzong and the younger brother of the previous Emperor Xiaozong, Prince Nan naturally had some ambitions in his heart.

But this year, there are fewer and fewer.

Because this young emperor was too powerful.

He was so powerful that he couldn't think of anything else.

But this time~!

Is there any chance?

He pondered for a long time, then sighed and gave up.

Unless Your Majesty does such evil things that the whole world rebels against you, or unless Your Majesty dies, it will be impossible.

Forget it, let’s go to Beijing.

Do you want to bring Ye Gucheng with you?
Ye Gucheng is also a member of the Ming royal family. Your Majesty is so ambitious that he would be very happy if he saw such a person among the royal family.

Ask him.

Prince Ping's Palace.

As the biological son of Emperor Xianzong and the younger brother of the previous Emperor Xiaozong, Prince Ping was equally unwilling to accept his fate.

Especially since he has a son who is extremely gifted in martial arts, and an ally who is a great master.

His ambition had already been suppressed.

With the current emperor in power, he sees no hope at all.

But when the incident in Jin happened, he had some new ideas.

Especially when the imperial edict arrived, his thoughts became even stronger.

Because he was afraid that once he entered the capital, he would never be able to leave.

After thinking it over again and again, he was still very uneasy, and a letter quickly left the palace.

a few days later.

A figure who looked like a little old man quietly entered Prince Ping's mansion and met Prince Ping.

"Why do you want to see me at this time?" the old man asked in a calm voice.

"You should have understood clearly whether I can enter the capital at this time?

If we raise an army, do we have a chance of winning?" King Ping asked directly.

"Haha, forget about raising an army, I won't support you.

Because starting a war at this time is nothing but seeking death." The old man laughed twice and said without hesitation.

Prince Ping's face turned a little grim.

"Oh, come to think of it, your lineage is really cruel and ruthless.

From Zhu Di to Zhu Houzhao at this time, they have shown no mercy to their own family members. "The old man seemed to have thought of something and laughed sarcastically.

"Humph." King Ping snorted in dissatisfaction and sarcastically said, "Emperor Hui was the first to force his own uncle to death."

"I'm not from the lineage of that useless Emperor Hui." The old man said disdainfully.

King Ping was stunned, glared at the old man and said nothing more.

After a while, he said again in a serious tone: "This nephew of mine is indeed cruel and ruthless, not like his father at all.

If the prince and Jiu'er go to the capital, the consequences will be unpredictable."

“No.” The old man shook his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, “Zhu Houzhao is indeed ruthless, but he is even more ambitious. He did things without hesitation that Taizu couldn’t or dared to do.

The Talent Recruitment Hall he established also shows his emphasis on and need for talent.

With Jiuer's talent, she will definitely be valued by Zhu Houzhao.

You are his uncle, and Zhu Wusi is your younger brother, who is highly valued.

As long as you can obey him in everything, Zhu Houzhao will definitely use you and your son.

Once we enter the core, our chances will be even greater."

King Ping looked thoughtful and hesitant.

"Anyway, don't even think about starting a rebellion now. If you dare to rebel, within half a month at most, the Shengwu Emperor will bring the Wu Emperor Dragon Cavalry and directly destroy your Prince Ping's Palace." The old man added.

The corner of King Ping's mouth twitched, and the bit of luck in his heart was completely extinguished.

If we can't start a rebellion, then the only way out is to go to Beijing.

"Okay, I will go to the capital, but after that, our contacts will be less frequent. You should be careful not to be caught by the factory guards." Prince Ping said in a firm tone, giving another cautious reminder.

"Don't worry." The old man nodded slowly. Thinking of the increasingly excited Jinyiwei in various places, he felt a little fear in his heart.

···
Under the gaze of countless people in the world.

Thirty-one princes, three hundred and forty-two dukes, and their princes, all from all over the Ming Dynasty, set out for the capital from their respective fiefdoms.

By the end of June, no one had risen up in rebellion.

Seeing this, everyone understood that the possibility of the princes rebelling this time was almost gone.

Many people were very disappointed.

It would be great if a vassal king rose up in rebellion. Even if he couldn't succeed, it would at least slap Zhu Houzhao in the face and divert some of his energy.

Zhu Houzhao was quite satisfied. It seemed that none of my relatives were too stupid.
