Chapter 70 Dying Struggle

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you come and pay homage to His Majesty!"

Geng Bingwen shouted to the ministers!

The officials immediately reacted and had no doubts anymore. With the double guarantees of Emperor Zhu Yunwen and veteran Geng Bingwen, the Hongwu Emperor could not be fake.

"I will see you, Your Majesty."

Except for the three fools of Jianwen and their disciples and old officials, the other ministers hurriedly saluted Lao Zhu.

The three fools of Jianwen looked at each other in confusion. Emperor Honghuang was reborn. Where should their loyal Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen go?

What's even more frightening is that Prince Yiwen is still alive, and it will be Zhu Yunwen's turn to take the throne? They are all veterans of the Hongwu Dynasty. Who doesn't know how much Zhu Yuanzhang loves Zhu Biao.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, only Zhu Biao was his biological son. The other sons, including King Qin and King Jin, were just tools used by Zhu Yuanzhang to check and balance the Huaixi military general group! Although there was blood and family ties, there was definitely not much.

Although the current emperor is Zhu Yunwen, it is only a matter of words for Lao Zhu to depose Zhu Yunwen. There are many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty who are dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen. If he is deposed, the ministers will happily welcome the new emperor to the throne.

.

As for the new emperor, there is no need to guess that he must be Zhu Biao. If nothing happened to Zhu Biao back then, how could the throne have fallen to Zhu Yunwen.

Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru, all three of them are anxious for Zhu Yunwen!

They were anxious, but Zhu Yunwen was not anxious. He believed that Lao Zhu and others were emperors of other worlds and had their own political affairs to deal with, so they had no time to take care of him. After helping him clean up the mess, he would leave with a little benefit at most.

As a human being, there is no hindrance to him!

Full of confidence and thinking that he had seen through the situation, he did not notice Lao Zhu's plan at all. If he really came to help him clean up the mess sincerely, why would Lao Zhu bring Zhu Biao with him? Zhu Biao is not the emperor! Not so

So many worries!

After his identity was confirmed, Lao Zhu could start paving the way for Zhu Yunwen, no, he was paving the way for his eldest son Zhu Biao. He first glanced at the ugly Jianwen Sansi, and then asked: "Who can tell us,

Why did the Ming Dynasty become what it is now?"

"Who caused the chaos in the court and the rebellion of the feudal lords?"

All the ministers looked at Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru and Li Jinglong.

Why did the Jianwen Dynasty end up in such a situation? Of course, the first fault was the three fools of Jianwen. Their untimely well-field system made the people resentful, and their crude and brainless methods of reducing vassal vassals forced the vassal kings everywhere to rebel.

Next is Zhu Yunwen. As an emperor, he was indecisive, self-willed, and suspicious. No matter Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong, or Geng Bingwen, they all had the power to suppress rebellion, but they lost all their advantages with his wave after wave of tricks. The sentence "

"Don't let me be known as the one who killed my uncle" is not much better than being mentally retarded.

Finally, there is Li Jinglong. Despite his great reputation, it is difficult to live up to his reputation. Hundreds of thousands fought against tens of thousands, but the result was a disastrous defeat. After all, his father was also Li Wenzhong, the famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't even learn five points of Li Wenzhong's skills, no matter how good he was in training.

Okay, it's useless on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru. These three deceived the emperor, harmed the people, and forced the vassal king to rebel. They have committed a heinous crime. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

"I impeach Li Jinglong..."

"I impeach Huang Zicheng..."

"I impeach Fang Xiaoru..."

"I impeach Qi Tai..."

The ministers who had long been extremely dissatisfied with Jianwen and Li Jinglong began to impeach them and accused them of various crimes. Under their exaggeration, Jianwen and Li Jinglong became heinous traitors who deserved death.

Many of the charges they mentioned were untrue, and many of them were fabricated out of thin air. This was also an old tradition of the Ming Dynasty. Starting from the time when Lao Zhu killed Hu Weiyong, people who had heard of things being done and talked nonsense became civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

A necessary skill that still existed until the Chongzhen Dynasty.

After the ministers finished speaking, there was no change in Lao Zhu's face, not even a trace of anger. He just said lightly: "What else?"

The ministers were stunned for a moment, wondering what Lao Zhu meant. Could it be that they gave Jianwen the Three Fools and Li Jinglong too lightly?

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

Before Lao Zhu could be questioned, Jianwen Sansi and Li Jinglong were confused. If they were really punished according to the charges impeached by the ministers, how could they still survive? They hurriedly cried out for injustice. No one wanted to try Lao Zhu's method.

Exciting enough.

"pity....."

Lao Zhu felt a little regretful in his heart. What he wanted was for the ministers to tell Zhu Yunwen's crimes again, so as to use an excuse to attack Zhu Yunwen's prestige, and it would be easier to support Zhu Biao in the future.

But he obviously overestimated the courage of the ministers. Even with him, Emperor Taizu, the ministers did not dare to tell the truth.

After all, the Zhu Yuanzhang of this world left a deep impression on the ministers. In order to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen, he killed tens of thousands of people, which made the ministers tremble. They even dared not mention Zhu Yunwen's many tricks.

Fear of being liquidated.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Turning his eyes back to Jianwen Sansha and Li Jinglong, Lao Zhu's tone was as calm as ever, but he had murderous intentions in his heart.

The three idiots Jianwen could not stay under any circumstances. These three pure idealists who were divorced from reality would not benefit at all from staying in the court. They would only be cancers. He had to eradicate these three cancers first for Zhu Biao.

As for Li Jinglong, he was a little hesitant about Lao Zhu. He was the son of his eldest nephew Li Wenzhong, and he was a relatively close relative. It was really difficult to kill him!

However, being difficult to kill does not mean that he cannot be killed. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he would not even spare his son-in-law, let alone a mere Li Jinglong.

He planned to observe Li Jinglong again. If he was obedient, he would stay with Zhu Biao as a thug. Li Jinglong was not good at fighting, so he should be able to do other things. If he was disobedient, he could not blame him for not remembering his old relationship.

After all, this Li Jinglong is not the Li Jinglong of his world. The Li Wenzhong of this world has also died long ago. He will not feel any psychological pressure if he kills him.

"Emperor Taizu clearly knows that I have been unjustly accused. I am assisting Your Majesty in eliminating the malpractices of the government, rectifying the administration of officials, and reducing the number of vassal kings. Every step is based on the consideration of the Ming Dynasty and the country, and there is absolutely no selfish intention at all!"

Jianwen Sansi was still struggling to his death, but he was always flaunting himself and insisting that what he did was correct, but he didn't notice that Lao Zhu's face was getting more and more impatient.

Emperor Taizu, all the ministers called "Your Majesty" knowingly, but you call us Emperor Taizu, why do you think we are dead!

Lao Zhu was full of dissatisfaction, and became even more angry when he heard what happened next. Let alone anything else, what does the proud expression on his face mean when he mentions the removal of vassals? Is our son Zhu Yuanzhang helping you achieve political success?

The intention of cutting down the vassalage was right. No emperor would tolerate the emergence of a state within a state. But what Lao Zhu couldn't accept was Jianwen's idiotic decision to cut down the vassalage. It was basically forcing his sons to die.

The vassal kings everywhere were forced to rebel and no one wanted to die.
