Early in the morning, the golden sunlight passes through the pillars and balconies in the palace, intertwining with the two hundred-year-old buildings to form an unpredictable and ever-changing light and shadow stage.
Zhengde stood at the door of Shenwumen, feeling a little strange.
Why didn't those stubborn old men come over and call him to court today? Have they given up on training him?
That would be great!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Sun, the personal chamberlain, hurriedly came over to serve.
"Is there no morning service today?"
"Didn't the Emperor give orders to go out and suspend the business for one day?" Eunuch Sun had some questions.
"Oh~" Zhengde suddenly realized.
The second thing he hates the most is going to court in the morning and listening to a group of so-called upright ministers talking about benevolence, justice and morality.
No matter what you want to do, there will always be a few people who quote scriptures and come out to oppose it.
Therefore, since he became emperor, it has been a common thing for him not to attend the morning court. Anyway, even without him, the Ming Dynasty seemed to be doing well, but it was a bit useless for the bachelor.
"Keke, Your Majesty, the Shenhou, together with ten generals and a hundred thousand troops, has controlled the inside and outside of the capital. Now even the palace is surrounded." Eunuch Sun said hurriedly.
The Zhengde Dynasty will be over!
Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised and looked excited: "Really?"
Eunuch Sun:???
Your empire is about to disappear, but I think you are still a little happy. Are you polite?
"Where is Eunuch Cao?"
"I don't know! I haven't seen him for several days. Your Majesty, let's leave quickly. As long as we can leave Kyoto, you might have a chance to turn around!" Eunuch Sun said eagerly.
"Buzz~" The Shenwu Gate opened wide.
"Whoa, whoa, whoosh!" Thousands of soldiers in full armor, holding weapons, surrounded the two men of Zhengde.
"Boom~" Cannons, muskets, and explosives were all pushed in afterwards.
After everything was arranged, Zhu Wuwu, dressed in a bright red dragon robe, and leading ten generals, walked slowly to Zhengde.
Zhu Houzhao greeted warmly: "Uncle, you have entered the palace so early in the morning."
Then he scolded Eunuch Sun: "You little slave, why don't you report it to me so that I can hold a banquet for the emperor's uncle in Xining Palace!"
Eunuch Sun wanted to cry but had no tears.
Zhu Wuwu was unceremonious: "Huzhao, there is no need to say polite words. I came here today to greet you first with courtesy and then with arms.
The position of emperor is just for the sake of the late emperor. I have allowed you to sit here for so many years, and you should have had enough."
Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his hands and said with a serious expression: "Although you are the emperor's uncle, what you just said is really treasonous!"
"Haha, the so-called winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Don't you even understand such a simple truth? It really disappoints me!"
Zhu Wuwu turned around and looked at all the power in his hands, feeling confident.
"There are ten generals here. They control nine-tenths of the troops in the world. Ask them if they support you or me!"
Zhengde was so furious that his body was shaking with anger: "Rebellion, rebellion! Come on, take down this traitor!"
The scene was quiet and no one moved.
Zhengde looked around and felt a little embarrassed. He seemed to have failed as an emperor.
"Haha~" Zhu Wuwu smiled proudly.
Stable!
"Huzhao, your ministers only know one thing: protect yourself wisely. Tell me, what should you call me?"
"Your Majesty!" Thousands of people shouted in unison, the sound shaking the heaven and earth.
"That's right, they called me, Your Majesty!" Zhu ignored his hands and said calmly.
Zhengde clenched his fists and looked into those ambitious eyes: "It's against him, it's against him, it's all against him!"
Zhu Wuwu walked up to him: "You are my nephew, I will never hurt you, and I will never allow anyone to hurt you.
I will give you half an hour to hand over the jade seal. Then I will write an edict and announce it to the world, saying that you will abdicate to me due to illness.
When the time comes, I will reward you with a paradise-like fiefdom in Guilin, Guangxi, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the seasons are like spring. It would be a perfect place for you to recuperate!"
"In addition, even though you are young, you must learn to respect your elders. In the future, you must never say to me: You must call me emperor!"
I'll forgive you this time, but I won't do it next time!" Zhu said solemnly.
"Pah, pah, pah~ Okay, what Shenhou said is so good!"
"Whoa whoa whoa~"
Countless men and horses appeared around the palace again, surrounding Shenhou and others. Cao Zhengchun applauded, and several people appeared in front of Zhengde, smiling and saying.
Zhu Wulan's expression condensed for a moment, then he remembered the power he had now and became indifferent again.
"Cao Zhengchun! Yes, your martial arts are indeed good. But do you think you have the ability to protect Hou Zhao in front of my artillery array and spear array?
If you do this, you will only kill him."
Cao Zhengchun stretched out his orchid finger and said with a smile: "Zhu Tiedan, you know nothing about strength!" As he said that, he raised his hand gently, and a general's sword flew to him, clamped it between his two fingers, and flicked it with one finger.
"Wow~" The sword instantly shattered into countless fragments.
"Go!" With a command, the fragments flew around like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.
"Bah, bang, bang, bang!" After a burst of intensive shattering sounds, all the muskets and cannons were cut off.
The sergeants were startled, dumbfounded, and then collectively took a step back.
How is such magical power different from that of immortals?
Moreover, what he just hit was a gun array or artillery array. If it hit him, wouldn't he go down to see the late emperor now and kneel down to apologize?
Zhu ignored:???
After a moment of silence and looking around, he saw only cowardice in the eyes of these subordinates who had been loyal yesterday, and there was no trace of ambition.
They are afraid!
"Cao Zhengchun, I heard Haitang say that your greatest wish was to be upright and fight me with all your strength.
Today is the right day for us to fight to the death to decide who belongs to this world!" Zhu Wuli said loudly and seriously.
When it comes to martial arts, he is confident that no one in the world can beat him.
"Okay, okay!" Cao Zhengchun was very happy: "Come on! I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
After that, the two of them mobilized their whole bodies to gather energy to form elixirs, and the elixir energy was released outwards.
Cao Zhengchun stood on the right, and Zhu Wuwu stood on the left, directly attacking with internal force.
One person followed his little ancestor, and his internal energy was improving all the time, becoming pure and powerful. One person once secretly absorbed the internal energy of a total of 208 people on the shores of Taihu Lake. After digestion and purification, his skills were unparalleled.
"Boom~"
The unparalleled air wave directly pushed everyone away for more than ten feet, and many people even fell down several times.
Only Zhengde is better, with the little yellow cat sitting in charge, and the air waves flowing slowly like gentle wind and spring rain.
With a palm strike, Zhu Wuwu used the force to retreat to the top of the Shenwu Sect, and Cao Zhengchun floated up following him.
The two men immediately began to fight close to each other. Their moves were so powerful that rocks flew in all directions. Unknowingly, even the Shenwu Sect, which was more than ten feet high, was torn apart by the two men.
"Chi~boom~bang."
Everyone in the audience below was speechless.
Martial Arts and Spirituality!
"Boom, boom, boom!" In this moment, the two people rushed to the city wall to fight. The thick three-combination soil was like paper in front of these two peerless masters.
"The world is shifting!"
"All rivers return to the sea!"
"Bah, bah~" the little yellow cat held a cucumber and ate it sweetly.
"Boom~" The entire Shenwumen, including that section of the city wall, collapsed.
The flying stones smashed the heads of several imperial soldiers who looked too close.
"The Great Technique of Absorbing Gong!" Zhu Wuwu finally used his unique skill that he had hidden for a long time.
"Little Ancestor Squat!" Cao Zhengchun learned the secret technique of sitting and forgetting developed by a certain mysterious and powerful beast, and it remained motionless.
After a while, the power in Zhu Wuli's hand gradually weakened. Cao Zhengchun used his strength and appeared in front of him in an instant: "An ordinary punch!"
"boom!"
The moment he was hit, Zhu Wuwu's eyes flashed with gold, which reminded him of the worst time he was beaten by the late emperor when he was a child.
At that time, the puppy he raised died. He dug a grave for the puppy, worshiped it, and burned paper money. As a result, the late emperor discovered that he was burning real banknotes.
It turns out that Cao Zhengchun's strongest strength is his physical strength.
"Wow!" The internal energy in his body was almost shattered and was scattered directly. Zhu Wuli flew several dozen feet upside down and landed directly in front of Zhengde.
"Pfft~" A mouthful of blood spurted out more than a foot away.
Zhengde and the little yellow cat approached Zhu Wuwu, squatted down, and smiled.
"Uncle Emperor, are you okay?"
"Meow wow~"
Zhu ignored:
"Ahem, cough, cough, I'm fine!" Zhu Yilan tried hard to say.
He lost this battle for national destiny! But he would never lose his bearing in front of the enemy.
"I lost, Houzhao. If you want to kill or behead, it's up to you!" After adjusting his breath for a while, Zhu Wuwu said calmly.
In front of this little yellow cat, he couldn't kill his nephew no matter what, so he shouldn't humiliate himself.
Besides, if my nephew dies and he is not here yet, and the country falls into the hands of others, what should I do?
No matter what happens, the meat will rot in the Zhu family's pot.
Zhengde stood up and put his hands behind his back: "Uncle, you are my dear uncle, I will not hurt you, nor will I let anyone hurt you.
In addition, even though you are older, you must learn to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. In the future, you must never speak of yourself to me, and you must call me emperor! I will forgive you this time, but not next time!"
"Ugh~" A mouthful of old blood came to his mouth, and Zhu Wuwu swallowed it hard.
Grace! Grace! He can't lose again!
"Hey, uncle, this is rebellion after all, so it seems unreasonable for me to let you go.
In this way, I will give you half a quarter of an hour to write a memorial saying that you are old and frail and are no longer qualified for the position of Dragon Guard Villa.
When the time comes, I will reward you with a paradise-like fiefdom in Guilin, Guangxi, where there are beautiful mountains and clear waters and spring-like weather all year round. It will be a perfect place for you to recuperate!
Uncle Huang, what do you think?
Hehe!" Zhu Houzhao asked with a simple smile.
"Pfft!" Zhu Wuwu couldn't bear it anymore, his blood rushed to his heart, and he fainted.
…
"Dang~"
"Cuckoo!"
When dawn breaks in the east, the rooster sings and the whole world becomes white.
Zhu Wulan woke up faintly, feeling severe pain all over his body.
This kind of pain reminded him of the time when he had just left the palace to build a palace, when he took the money given by his father and went to the Jiaofang Division to fight with the heroines who had obtained all kinds of special skills, and got up after fighting for three days and three nights.
His ability to go back at that time was entirely due to his perseverance.
"Wow~" Accompanied by the sound of shredding paper and the smell of fireworks, he turned around and saw that Su Xin was burning paper beside his bed.
Zhu ignored:???
He thinks he can still save it!
"Ahem, cough, cough~" He reluctantly stood up, looked at the paper that was still burning in Su Xin's hand, and then looked at the words on it carefully, Zhu Mingwang felt sad in his heart.
"Did you sneak into my tantric room?"
Su Xin's face was expressionless: "I also saw all your secrets. You drained the eight sects, the four great gods captured the internal strength of a total of 208 top masters, and then framed the blame on Gu Santong.
You also hunted him down under the guise of the emperor's will."
"Ahem, I had no choice back then." Zhu Wuyi coughed and defended.
Suxin turned around, not wanting to look at him anymore.
"A wise man will always make mistakes. You didn't tell anyone about this whole plan, but you kept all the secrets in your heart, and you felt extremely painful.
So you wrote everything down in your diary, and now I have seen it."
"What did you burn?"
"Ignore the secret files, files, and information of the top ten generals, you lost to me!" Su Xin said coldly.
"You! Cough cough cough puff!" Zhu Wulan spat out another mouthful of blood.
The two of them looked at each other, and all they saw was a sense of strangeness, and there was no trace of the lingering affection they once had.
He lost, he lost completely, he lost his country, he lost his beauty, he lost everything.
Twenty years of planning, calculation, and forbearance. Now, the dream is shattered!
Seeing her former sweetheart vomiting blood, Su Xin's eyes flashed with hesitation, and then became cold again.
Zhu ignored and sat back on the bed, saying sadly: "Su Xin, don't you want to live?"
Su Xin nodded firmly: "For me, you have done too many things that are treasonous and outrageous, and the culprit of all of this is me.
Moreover, I am a woman who has had two husbands in succession. How can I live with such filth?
Death is my best destination."
"Hehe~" Zhu Wulan smiled bitterly: "Hehehehahahahaha!" He burst out laughing at the end.
At this moment, he felt that everything he did was useless.
Ancient three links! Ancient three links! Even if this person is dead, he keeps winning.
He seemed to have lived in this man's shadow his whole life.
"The Holy Father has spoken: Today's court meeting, all departments, bureaus, and ministries and officials must attend and not be absent." The young girl walked in directly and conveyed the decree with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please accept the order."
Zhu ignored the silence and nodded slowly after a long time: "Wei Chen accepts the order."
After the eunuch who delivered the order left, he looked at Su Xin, who was still facing her coldly: "If you really want to die, wait first.
After all, we were husband and wife, I have always loved you, and you have loved me.
Wait until I come back from attending the court meeting. What I hope is that we can die at the same time and sleep together, so that we can have companionship on the road to hell."
Su was moved. During this moment, she thought a lot, and finally nodded lightly.
"Ignore, I'll wait for you!"
"Okay! Haha." Zhu Wulan laughed loudly,
With Su Xin's words, he was not afraid of anything.
He knew what Zhengde had summoned him to do, which was to subjugate the entire court with kindness and power.
This method is very good.
But he is not those civil servants who are greedy for life and afraid of death. He is Zhu Wuwu.
Even if he dies, he will die standing like Xiang Yu!
