Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

As soon as Ruoxi said this, Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Sometimes I think you're amazing. I thought you really liked the emperor's sons and could even shed tears for them."

But if I kill them, you expect me to escape safely?

"I don't know, but at least for now, I don't want you to die!"

Tang Yu smiled slightly, then released the poison, causing everyone inside and outside the laundry department to collapse to the ground.

Then she killed Longkodo and a group of archers.

Emperor Kangxi had been keeping an eye on the activities of the laundry department.

After discovering that someone had collapsed, Kangxi's side began to try to escape.

His intuition told him that this woman would definitely come to kill him!

That's right, Tang Yu's principle is that whoever starts the trouble first dies first.

So even though Kangxi had made preparations, with thousands of people guarding him in the palace and even carriages being moved out of the palace.

However, Tang Yu still came before Emperor Kangxi.

Seeing this ghostly figure appear before him, Kangxi trembled despite the woman's extreme beauty.

"Who are you? Are you from the Zhu family? Are you here for revenge? What do you want?"

Tang Yu was patient enough to answer a few questions from the emperor.

"I heard that you are very fond of Western mathematics and have had many exchanges with those Western missionaries, learning some of their mathematical and astronomical knowledge?"

This sudden change of topic left Kangxi bewildered. Although he had been an emperor for so many years, the woman before him was truly terrifying.

With his life hanging by a thread and all those protecting him silent, Kangxi naturally answered cautiously.

"It's just a pastime when I'm bored."

Tang Yu chuckled softly.

"You ask me who I am, what I'm here for, whether I'm from the Zhu family, or whether I'm here for revenge—fine, I can answer all of that!"

I am not a member of the Zhu family, but I am a proud Chinese. You may call me a Han Chinese if you wish.

After all, I respect Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, admire Emperor Wu Liu Che, deeply respect General Wei Qing, and have immense respect for General Huo Qubing.

"Our Chinese descendants have gone through countless hardships to conquer such a vast land, and our civilization has been passed down for thousands of years, but you Manchus took advantage of the situation and reaped a huge benefit."

After you entered the pass, you wantonly massacred people, forced Han Chinese to shave their heads and change their clothes, and launched numerous literary inquisitions. You ruled the people with a policy of keeping them ignorant, guarding against Han Chinese more than against foreigners, preferring to give to friendly nations than to your own slaves. Don't you, this group of scourges to the country and its people, deserve to die?!

“I know you Manchus, you secretly study mathematics and astronomy, and you even teach your children foreign languages ​​so that they can access advanced knowledge from the outside world.”

Despite knowing full well that the world is constantly developing and progressing, they deliberately conceal this from the world, obstructing the development of science and culture among the Han people in every way, strictly prohibiting the normal operation of academies, and forbidding the Han people from continuing to read and write.

You are attempting to suppress the awakening of wisdom in the Han people, solely to ensure your corrupt rule lasts for eternity!

"You are trying to rule all Han people as slaves, and you want everyone to want to be slaves but not be able to!"

To even presume that everyone considers being your slave an honor is utterly ridiculous, absurd, and laughable!

A major cleanup of garbage.

They deliberately controlled the number of Han Chinese who read books and strictly prohibited the establishment of academies.

It wasn't until the Taiping Rebellion destroyed grassroots governance that Han Chinese resumed their studies in large numbers, leading to the rise of numerous private schools.

To maintain the stability of the regime, starting with Emperor Kangxi, the development of firearms was strictly controlled, for fear that the technology would be leaked.

Furthermore, the development of iron smelting technology was strictly prohibited among the private sector, and a large number of iron smelting furnaces were shut down, which is why science and technology became increasingly backward.

Ironically, by the late Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Daoguang, they still dug up Ming Dynasty firearms and continued to use them, even though Qing Dynasty firearms were inferior to those of the Ming Dynasty.

"You...you want to kill me for this reason! I am the emperor, I am the Son of Heaven! My Great Qing is the Mandate of Heaven!"

Intuition told Kangxi that he was doomed, but in his final moments he mustered all his strength and roared angrily.

It seemed that only in this way could the last shred of imperial dignity be barely maintained.

Tang Yu killed the person in front of him without expression, and then hung Emperor Kangxi's head on the city gate of Beijing.

Chapter 6, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

Destroying the Manchu faith and killing the princes would only terrify them; even if the emperor were killed, it would only shock the world.

Therefore, Tang Yu did such a humiliating thing, hanging their emperor's head on the city wall to humiliate him. This was the real humiliation and blow to a regime.

For the Manchus, or for the subjects who had already submitted, this was no different than the sky falling.

After all, there were too many people kneeling on the ground, so the effect wasn't sensational enough, and many people couldn't be awakened.

Therefore, Tang Yu deliberately treated Kangxi this way; as for the other princes, their deaths were insignificant, and whether they were humiliated or not made little difference.

Only when the emperor dies in such a tragic manner can it create a huge sensation and strongly impact and shock those who are indifferent.

In this vast capital city, the emperor died in such a humiliating manner.

Although someone quickly removed the head, such a death was truly shocking.

Even if the news hasn't reached the south yet, this matter absolutely cannot be kept secret.

The ministers of the entire court had collapsed, especially the Eight Banners led by the Manchus, who were practically wailing and lamenting!

The capital was filled with wailing, but for the princes who were still alive, the fear of death was no greater than their desire for power.

Kangxi is dead, so we need to quickly choose a new emperor!

The surviving third, fourth, and fifth sons instantly became excited. Who wouldn't want the throne?

Especially the third prince, Yinzhi, felt that the throne was a sure thing.

As for the seventh prince, he was born with a disability and he himself did not even dream of the throne.

The eighth, ninth, and tenth brothers are already dead. The thirteenth brother is still imprisoned. The fourteenth brother has ideas, but he doesn't have enough support around him.

The rest are too small, so in reality, only the third, fourth, and fifth sons can try to get a chance.

As the eldest living son, the third son had a particularly high chance of winning, and he himself was quite proud of himself.

As a result, the entire capital was thrown into chaos, with several princes secretly contacting forces that supported them, all wanting to become emperor themselves.

As for investigating the murderer and seeking revenge, that's not in a hurry. We'll deal with that after we seize the throne!

No one was interested in revenge at this time. They needed to discuss who should be the leader and who should be the emperor before they could decide to do the next thing.

Internal strife is always the norm; without deciding on a leader, no one can unite to deal with outsiders.

The fifth son was not the eldest and was weak, so he had little influence in the court. Therefore, the competition quickly turned into a contest between the third and fourth sons.

The third prince, Yinzhi, was fond of Han Chinese culture and befriended many Han Chinese officials. Confucianism naturally supported the eldest son's succession, so many Han Chinese officials surrounded the third prince.

The fourth prince, Yinzhen, was a ruthless man. He had secretly befriended Longkodo, who controlled the military in the capital. However, Longkodo died, which prevented him from seizing the throne immediately.

However, the fourth prince, Yinzhen, soon discovered his third brother's problem: surrounded by a group of Han Chinese ministers, the Eight Banners would naturally be dissatisfied!

The Eight Banners would not allow Han Chinese to seize power. If they put the third prince on the throne, wouldn't that mean the Han Chinese would regain control of the country? The Manchu Eight Banners were not stupid.

So the fourth prince, Yinzhen, quickly made connections with a group of people in secret, and then took control of the capital city at the fastest speed, and kicked the third prince out.

One month after Kangxi's death, in March of the new year, the fourth prince, Yinzhen, was elected by the Eight Banners to become the next emperor.

So the thirteenth prince, Yinxiang, was quickly released. The fourth prince, Yinzhen, promoted the fifth prince, won over the fourteenth prince, and finally appointed high-ranking officials to the group of Eight Banner families who had recommended him.

He wanted to use this method to stabilize the court and make his throne more secure.

Yinzhen was a man of Emperor Yongzheng in history, so he was naturally ruthless enough. He eliminated all of the third prince's power and killed many people, quickly stabilizing the situation in the capital.

So the fourth brother began to integrate all forces and gather all troops to search for Tang Yu.

So what was Tang Yu doing during the month that the third and fourth princes were vying for the throne?

She had already killed the emperor, so naturally she couldn't stay in the laundry department.

Therefore, Tang Yu left the capital and went to the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty.

Before the Shunzhi Emperor, these people were buried in Shenyang, so Tang Yu went to the imperial mausoleums in Shenyang first, although at that time it was called Shengjing.

Nurhaci and Huang Taiji were buried here, along with their concubines.

After Tang Yu arrived, he placed the prepared cannons on the two mausoleums and then blew them up.

In an instant, the earth shook, dust billowed, and the ancestral mausoleum of the Aisin Gioro clan was reduced to ruins.

The enormous explosion echoed over Shengjing, as if it were a heavy slap in the face to the Qing Dynasty.

Such a sensational event naturally alarmed the tomb keepers, so someone quickly sent a message to the capital.

Tang Yu then went to Zunhua, Hebei, because Emperor Shunzhi's tomb is located there.

After news of the bombing of Nurhaci's mausoleum reached the capital, Tang Yu bombed Shunzhi's mausoleum in Zunhua, Hebei.

The news spread quickly, causing a nationwide uproar.

Whether it was the princes and nobles within the Qing Dynasty or ordinary subjects, everyone was stunned by this astonishing news.

The tombs of all the Manchu imperial ancestors were blown up like this, especially since Emperor Kangxi had died such a humiliating death.

In such a strict ancient order, having the emperor's head displayed on the city wall was already a sensational humiliation.

Now, one emperor after another is being bombed in their bedchamber, which has utterly shattered all the prestige of the Manchu imperial family.

Those who were once superstitious and believed that the Manchus had inherited the Mandate of Heaven have now seen their faith crumble.

For the Manchu rulers, this was an unbearable humiliation.

The royal descendants of a regime were repeatedly humiliated and killed, and their mausoleum was also bombed.

If we don't take countermeasures soon, the whole world will rebel!

They all felt that the Aisin Gioro family was unworthy of their position and that the Manchus were unworthy of ruling the Central Plains!

"Your Majesty, she is a witch! Only by killing her can the world be at peace! If a few thousand people can't kill her, surely an army of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands can't? This witch must be killed!"

The fourteenth prince, Yinzhen, cursed furiously.

Originally, he and his fourth brother were not on good terms; they were even considered enemies.
