The Ming Dynasty began from Sarhu

Chapter 859 The fox’s tail is exposed
The prince endured for many years.

When Emperor Guangde was alive, Liu Wuji considered himself a supporter of the new policy.

As one of the first princes to disclose his personal assets, Liu Wuji registered every blade of grass, every flower and every stone in the Eastern Palace, which became a popular story for a time.

It was not until Emperor Guangde died of illness that Liu Wuji finally revealed his true colors of opposing the new policies.

The prince believed that the new policy, or returning power to the people, was a dead end.

In his opinion, his father was imitating the British Kingdom and establishing a nominal monarchy, a republic, and power supervision in the Great Qi...

These are all like trying to find a sword by carving a mark on a boat or trying to imitate someone else's beauty.

Although the literacy rate has greatly improved after 20 years of universal education in schools, it is still less than 50%.

Barely half of the people supported the new policy, while at least the other half missed the era of Taizu, the era when "there was no inequality everywhere and no one was hungry or cold."

There are also many young people who are eager to restore the glory of the Taizu era. They have always been resentful about abandoning Annan and Japan. They always talk about "our Great Qi" and "since ancient times".

As for some of the old people of the previous dynasty, they hated European affairs and believed that all the current disasters in Qi were caused by these foreign devils. If they had the chance, they would not hesitate to destroy the steam engine, textile machine, and ship.

The new policy wants to hand over power to a group of young people who have never taken the imperial examinations. Setting up a parliament and members of parliament is simply a fantasy!

What do a bunch of peasants know about governing a country?
Liu Wuji believed that if he continued to follow the path of his father, Emperor Guangde, Da Qi would have no way out!
Now that Liu Kan is dead, as Taizu's eldest grandson, Liu Wuji must turn the tide.

The first thing to do was to "pacify the rebellion and serve the king", legally negate the new policy and restore the old system of Emperor Taizu.

"Emperor Taizu once said that if the emperor believes that one plus one equals three, then he should be equal to three."

"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects! A country can only have one emperor! A country can only have one voice. Only in this way can we concentrate our strength and be invincible!"

One plus one equals three belongs to the theory of several punches.

All five fingers must be clenched at the same time to form a fist and defeat the enemy.

As for whether the thumb or ring finger is injured, and whether they are willing to make a fist, that is not a problem that Liu Wuji should consider.

Liu Wuji looked around and announced loudly:
"Da Qi belongs to everyone in the world, so when necessary, everyone in the world should sacrifice themselves for Da Qi! Now is not the time to discuss power division! We have to wait until we defeat the enemy!"

As for when the enemy was repelled, no one knows.

The enemies can be endless. After Japan is destroyed, there is Britain. After Britain is destroyed, France will be the new enemy.

In short, one or more enemies must be created for the people.

The above are all the words said by my grandfather Liu Zhaosun.

Now, it will also become Liu Wuji's motto.

The Qi Dynasty has been lax for too long. The people are lazy and decadent. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and are like shaved roosters.

In short, we should restore the ancestral system, that is, return to the era when one plus one equals three.

"Taizu once said that governing a great country is like collecting honey. You cannot collect all the honey; you must leave enough food for the bees to survive."

"Also, we must tell the people that their hard work in making honey is for Da Qi, and they are everything to Da Qi..." There are many similar words, and it is no longer possible to verify whether they really came from Liu Zhaosun's mouth.

However, Liu Wuji took this as his guiding principle.

~~~~~~~~~~
As they approached Jiangxia, Liu Wuji felt uneasy.

Governor Chen, who was guarding Jiangxia, had no relationship with him and was not a member of the prince's party.

If Kang Guangxu had arrived in the city earlier, the drama of "supporting the king" would not have been able to continue.

The walls of Jiangxia City are tall and majestic, with cannons standing behind the battlements and the soldiers defending the city in neat uniforms.

The staff member whispered, "Your Highness, the commander of Jiangxia is General Chen Dengfu, the son of Prime Minister Chen! There are approximately 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city. If we can subdue this man, our cause of serving the king will be accomplished."

Liu Wuji smiled and said, "Who is willing to be a lobbyist and persuade this person?"

Everyone was silent.

The staff stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Chen family has a deep blood feud with Kang Guangxu, and sooner or later they will rise up to quell the rebellion."

As expected, on that day, Chen Dengfu led the officials of the state city out of Hanyang Gate to welcome the prince into the city.

Chen Dengfu's father, Chen Zizhuang, was thrown into prison for opposing the empress's ascension to the throne.

Prime Minister Kang charged Chen Zizhuang with endangering the capital and plotting rebellion.

Chen Dengfu just learned yesterday that his father had been framed. He was furious and immediately decided to support the prince in his rebellion.

"I beg Your Highness to hand this thief over to me. I will make this Kang suffer a fate worse than death to avenge my father's murder!"

Liu Wuji was surprised. He only knew that Chen Zizhuang was imprisoned in the imperial prison, and did not know that he had been killed.

After Chen Dengfu finished speaking, the eunuch standing beside him corrected him, "Governor Chen, from now on, Mo Mo should call you Your Highness instead of Your Highness!"

Chen Dengfu was slightly taken aback. The eunuch said solemnly, "Before the late emperor passed away, he issued an order in the Huangji Palace to pass the throne to the crown prince and to execute the evil Liu Ruolan! My family and several ministers heard it!"

"I didn't know this! I deserve death!"

Although Chen Dengfu was a martial artist, his acting skills were superb. He immediately wiped away his tears:
"Your Majesty has treated the Chen family well! Since this is the will of the late Emperor, I shall die with my head cut off in my death! I shall exterminate the treacherous villains and repay His Majesty's grace! Your Majesty!"

As he said this, he banged his head on the ground and kowtowed.

Liu Wuji helped Chen Dengfu up, stroked his back, and said with a pleasant face:

"The strong wind reveals the strong grass, and the country is in chaos, and loyal ministers are revealed! With loyal ministers like you, there is no need to worry about not being able to quell the rebellion, and not worrying about the evildoers not being eliminated!"

As the prince spoke, he looked up at everyone, his eyes flashing coldly, and he said murderously:

"After we capture Tianxin City, we will leave no treacherous officials or thieves alive!"
