The emperor began to take the royal children on hunting expeditions.
The four people immediately realized that this might be an opportunity.
After all, it is easier to get information when going out hunting than huddled in the palace.
Many assassinations occur during hunting.
They followed immediately.
The royal hunting ground is located in a large mountain forest in the southern suburbs.
Originally, civil servants restricted the emperor from doing this.
But after the emperor succeeded in cultivating immortality, no one could restrict him.
It is said that the previous emperor wanted to go hunting. The chief civil servant took the emperor directly to a ruined garden and said, "This is the royal hunting ground."
After the emperor saw it, he returned disappointed.
No civil servants were punished.
If it were the Manchus, they would have been punished for deceiving the emperor long ago.
This is the nature of civil servants who bully the weak and fear the strong.
The four of them came to the mountains and forests in the southern suburbs.
From a distance, there is a large fence that sparsely isolates the forest from other places.
There are also wooden signs and stone tablets inserted on it.
"Royal South Hunting Ground."
"Idle people are prohibited from hunting or cutting firewood here. Violators will be punished with death."
"As expected, the emperor is overbearing. Just because the emperor has practiced cultivation does not mean that the people will be at ease." The novice man said with disdain.
The four people quietly climbed over the fence and ambush directly in a mountain forest.
I don’t know how long it had passed before I heard a sound of blowing.
That's court music.
There was also the sound of people and horses boiling.
"The emperor is here!"
Everyone quickly looked out from the trees.
I saw a team stretching for several miles on a main road.
In the front is a guard of honor, on both sides are horse teams, and in the middle is a dragon chariot.
Sixty-four people were required to carry it, and the area was at least hundreds of square meters. It was probably equipped with all kinds of facilities.
Each of these sixty-four people looks like an ordinary person.
The strength is at least two to three tons.
In this way, they can lift hundreds of tons of things.
And it is lifted very smoothly, with human body springs and human body shock absorption.
If you look carefully, you will see that the curtain blocks your view.
After a while, the emperor began to give orders.
Wen Rensheng used a skill, Mirror Flower, Water Moon, to reflect the scene in the distance.
I saw the emperor saying a few words to a red-robed eunuch.
The other party immediately trotted back.
Soon, two princes on horseback dismounted and came over.
"I have met my father."
"Okay, it's sunny today, perfect for hunting."
"You go hunting separately. Whoever has more will be rewarded heavily." The emperor said calmly.
"Yes, Father."
The two princes looked at each other and smiled.
They immediately took their guards and patted their horses into the hunting ground.
At this time.
The senior man frowned, he seemed to have discovered something.
But the novice man said directly: "Strange, why do I feel that the relationship between the emperor and his son is a bit hypocritical?"
"It's hypocritical to begin with. How can the royal family have true feelings?" the novice girl asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong with this?"
"That's what I say, but I always feel that the emperor seems to be trying to instigate a relationship between the two children, and he seems to want to suppress his own prince." The novice man said again.
"Humph, it's nothing more than a fight. The emperor is a cultivator of immortality, so he must be careful of his children's cultivation progress exceeding his."
"In this case, then follow the resource flow to cultivate immortality. The emperor has the most resources, so he will naturally cultivate the fastest." The novice man said.
"Any cultivator, as long as it involves cultivation, there is a saying of understanding. What if the emperor's understanding is not as good as the prince?" the novice girl asked in return.
"That is to say, the Immortal Dynasty is also internally unstable. The emperor will also be suspicious of his subordinates, but he also needs resources from the people below him. No matter how good he is, he is still 24 hours a day, so he can't do everything by himself."
"Yes, this is the contradiction. In order to provide subordinates with resources for cultivating immortals, they must be introduced to the Tao. After introducing them, there is a risk of betrayal. After all, no matter how great the immortal method is, as long as you are willing to learn and accumulate it, you can slowly
Then you will understand, you will be able to improve, and you will be able to innovate." The senior man sighed.
The four of them looked at each other and they all felt that something was going to happen today.
really.
An hour later.
The two princes were hunting in the huge mountain forest when suddenly someone attacked them.
They use a kind of thorn-immortal crossbow, which is specially designed to destroy the self-protection of the immortal cultivators.
"careful!"
"There's an attack!"
"Damn, who is so bold!"
The attackers left just as quickly as they came.
Wen Rensheng was indifferent, and the three of them looked at each other in shock.
"Someone actually assassinated the prince. Why do I feel like it was directed and acted by the emperor himself?"
The two princes were very frightened.
Although they practice cultivation, the results are not very good because they are too focused on it.
Of course, the most important thing is that the emperor will not give them important resources.
Don't let them practice too quickly.
They were just about to be assassinated.
There are so many powerful people who have been assassinated in history.
Sun Ce is relatively famous.
Even the emperor of this dynasty got into a fire, got into trouble, and was strangled by a palace maid, all of which really happened.
This makes them feel scared.
And at this time.
The emperor came to comfort the two men.
"For your safety, we can't let you out anymore."
"And one of you has no heirs, and the other only has one."
"It's easy to have accidents."
"What should I do if I'm a big Ming Dynasty?"
"They want to threaten me by killing you, so that I can never succeed!"
"Some people want to seize my empire in this way. We, father and son, will never let them succeed."
When the prince heard this, he understood his father's hint:
This is what other feudal princes did.
After all, their father was able to succeed the great unification with a small sect only because the first emperor succeeded him.
As a result, his cousin got a huge advantage.
A majestic emperor has so many women, but he can't give birth to children.
Persistence leaves people speechless.
Some said it was due to physical reasons, some said it was due to palace fighting, and some said it was due to overindulgence and early loss of Yuanyang.
After everyone heard this, they all said: "These damn rebels, we must kill them all!"
"Your Majesty, a few years ago you said that there were demons from outside the territory causing trouble. Could it be them?" an important minister guessed.
"It's very possible." King Yu said angrily.
Wen Rensheng was speechless. He didn't do anything and just took the big pot. Who can he ask to explain this?
Then the emperor achieved his goal.
After placing his two sons under house arrest in the palace, a large number of imperial guards were sent to guard them.
And a widow was sent in every three months.
A widow can give birth to a son.
Newlyweds are uncertain about having children.
Then, from this day forward.
The emperor began to change.
He began to squeeze the people again.
In order to practice better and faster, and to distance himself from others, he began to use some methods of drinking poison to quench his thirst.
After the four people saw it, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change."
"Yeah, it's really interesting. After practicing, I thought he would get better."
"It turned out to be just a disguise."
"Yes, at first he wanted the people to be better off, but it was just for the good fortune of the dynasty."
"Now that he feels the threat from us, he has once again given up on the people of the dynasty and chosen some quick and easy methods."
at this time.
The emperor ordered the people to grow various kinds of elixirs.
These elixirs can only be used exclusively by the emperor.
Growing ordinary crops is difficult and laborious.
Until hundreds of years later, farmers were still synonymous with poverty.
It will only be easier if you advance to become a farmer. Even then, you still need a lot of subsidies. Otherwise, there is no hope of making much profit.
The people suffered terribly as a result.
And something even more terrifying happened.
The emperor must hurry up and ascend to immortality.
To ascend to immortality requires more external things besides luck.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar.
Rich families and ordinary people all began to feel nervous.
Sure enough, the emperor sent factory guards to various places to collect elixirs and spiritual stones.
Ask them to hand over these resources immediately.
Only by handing over those resources can the family continue, otherwise, they will be killed.
Originally there were no such things in this world.
But after the emperor succeeded in cultivating immortality, they began to appear one after another.
This is a process of spiritual recovery.
At the beginning, the emperor regarded the entire dynasty as his own, and was willing to resist the desire to quickly plunder and exploit for the sake of the dynasty's fortune.
Some of the resources are even given to others to expand the foundation and increase the labor force used for cultivation.
However, in the face of new threats, the emperor once again returned to his original form.
Including this time, he thought that the princes were going to rebel, which was also a misunderstanding.
After Wen Rensheng and others disguised themselves, he could not see where the threat was.
But I can feel threatened.
He mistook it for a threat from the prince.
In addition, the princes did say this in private:
"If this continues, my father will live forever. When will I ascend the throne?"
"How can there be a prince in the world who has lived for ten thousand years?"
As soon as such words came out, the emperor naturally thought that they were colluding with the demons from outside the territory and wanted to rebel.
So after being good to the people in the first few years, Emperor Jiajing has now begun to return to his original form.
In the TV series, he didn't change in the end, but died.
Do you think he can live another forty years, will he repent?
No.
This is the nature of this person.
Steal the world to satisfy one person.
Use power and tactics for your own use.
Suffering the common people, cultivating the Tao is the first.
Wen Rensheng shook his head.
If he wasn't afraid of scaring away the main god, he could control the mysterious seed and increase Xiaohuan's power to create an illusion.
The true nature of this emperor could be exposed early on.
And it's not too late.
What kind of virtue does the emperor have? Even if he succeeds in cultivating immortality, his nature will still be the same and it is impossible to change it.
And at this time.
Hai Rui appeared again.
He went to write again.
"Those who cultivate immortals also cultivate people."
"As long as the saints die, thieves will continue."
“If you don’t cultivate people, how can you talk about cultivating immortals?”
"If the people of the dynasty are destroyed, how will the emperor survive?"
"You can only persist in this world for a while, but you cannot persist for a lifetime."
"In this case, all the immortal cultivation will be in vain."
Of course, the words are not so plain...
It means this.
He cursed the emperor.
Originally, the emperor was furious and wanted to kill Hai Rui.
But when he saw the last scene, he suddenly woke up.
This is not right.
His immortal is obviously a luck immortal, why is this happening?
Why is he so obsessed that he starts to exploit the people again?
I understand, he must be possessed.
This is the work of the devil.
Then he began to try to change himself.
But no one believes him anymore.
Forces everywhere began to think about how to kill the emperor...
And at this time.
Seeing the emperor like this, the four people couldn't help but start discussing.
The novice man said: "In my opinion, this emperor is nothing more than that."
"He is not a good person to begin with. As long as he changes slightly and as long as his cultivation of immortality does not require the participation of the people, he will not care about the life and death of the people."
"Yes, even if you change it temporarily, it is only temporary." The novice girl followed.
"This is the case in history. He only wanted to live forever and even forced everyone to build a palace for him."
"Obviously those palaces are of no use, so for this reason, a strict D was created and many conspiracies were made, lest others would know that he was the mastermind behind it."
"Everyone knows the result."
"The so-called power play has become a joke. People are doing it, and God is watching."
"In this case, if we get rid of him, there will be no psychological burden." The senior said.
"Yes, after this small change, we know that relying on this emperor is not reliable at all, and he will not really care about the people."
"So we must overthrow him and create a new Ming Dynasty."
People make decisions.
At this time, some people also started to contact everyone, looking for a way to kill the immortal.
"It seems that the heroes have the same idea."
"We cannot let the immortals exploit all the people."
The three of them asked Wen Rensheng for advice.
"If you want to kill the immortal, you have to cut off the emperor's roots." Wen Rensheng said, "The emperor used the Ming Dynasty to cultivate, so we will cut off the imperial court's worship of him."
"To put it bluntly, it means that more people will not recognize him as the emperor deep in their hearts."
"Everyone believes in him on the outside, but if they don't believe in him on the inside, then he is doomed."
"Why couldn't Chongzhen order a minister in the end? It was because he repeatedly let ministers take the blame, so everyone didn't believe him."
Everyone understood and took action immediately.
Their action was naturally to inform the common people and gentry about this matter.
Gentlemen are naturally not good people.
But it does not prevent the use of one or two.
Sure enough, after these people understood this, they immediately secretly ordered the people to rule and no longer followed the emperor.
They privately said that Jiajing was dead and that Emperor Dachang was now on the throne...
Good guy, these gentry are much more courageous than Wen Rensheng and the others imagined.
Nor could they stand an immortal emperor.
This means they are constantly being exploited.
In this way, the emperor's memory in the minds of the people became increasingly shallow.
There is a saying that imperial power does not go to the countryside.
The local people knew the gentry better than the emperor from afar.
As soon as this happened, the emperor quickly realized something was wrong.
Daming's luck has not changed, but he can absorb less and less.
"Damn it, who is causing trouble?"
He quickly deduced the world and saw that the gentry everywhere were quietly telling the people to change the Yuan Dynasty!
In fact, there was no need for him to deduce it, the factory guard reported it!
"This is not bad, they are a bunch of unruly people!"
"Catch me, kill me!"
"What a deception!"
He immediately sent people to arrest him.
However he was disappointed.
Because they are like this everywhere and you can’t catch them.
The most fundamental thing is that the gentry is not on his side.
In the past, he had no magic or cultivation, so he knew how to use power because he was worried about being abandoned by the gentry.
He needs reputation and legitimacy, but he is worried that if his reputation is bad, no one will recognize him as emperor.
