At this time, an eunuch suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Gui and said he was here to announce an edict.
Zhang Gui had to accept the order first.
"The edict says: Zhang Gui is a master of power and chaos in government, forms cliques for personal gain, plots evil things, and secretly intends to usurp the throne. He will be captured immediately and hacked to death!"
After Zhang Gui Mi Mi Hu Hu Di heard this decree, he was greatly surprised:
"What does Zhu Youxiao want to do! He actually wants to hack me to death! It's obviously because he is obsessed with technology, ignores government affairs, and trusts me, so that my will becomes the will of the entire imperial court to implement national policies! Now
He also blames me for being a master of power, and says that I am forming a clique for personal gain. Why am I doing this for personal gain? I am only doing this for myself, and it is obvious that the Zhu family gets the most!"
"Moreover, if you fall out now, do you really think that I am worthless? Or do you really think that you can really do without me and still keep this huge empire so strong by plundering external interests?"
"absurd!"
"If he can stay strong just by burning, killing, looting, and looting, then he thinks the art of rule is too simple!"
"It's so easy to be a bandit leader. Do you think it's all just a robbery? Do you know how to ensure long-term profits? Then you have to learn how to collect protection fees!"
After Zhang Gui finished shouting hysterically, the prince appeared at this time, still wearing white clothes, and said:
"Uncle, it was not the late emperor's decree, but my decree."
"I?"
Zhang Gui was stunned for a while.
The prince nodded: "Father has passed away!"
Zhang Gui suddenly trembled.
The prince added: "My ministers helped me to ascend the throne. Now that you have returned from a great victory, uncle, you should be rewarded based on your merits. But what else can I reward you now? The imperial court has nothing to reward you!"
"What's more, they are right. Once I ascend the throne, the biggest obstacle to me exercising my power as emperor is my uncle! Either I will kill you, uncle, or you, uncle, will imitate Wang Mang and usurp my throne. And I have to listen to them.
If you have any opinion, take action against uncle in advance and cut through the mess quickly. I won’t give uncle any time to react."
Zhang Gui asked: "Who are they?"
Prince: "Of course it's the courtiers! My Ming Dynasty's bureaucrats!"
Zhang Gui looked at the Ming Dynasty bureaucrats who came with the prince, and saw that among them were Wen Tiren, Fan Jingwen, Ni Yuanlu, Qi Biaojia, Jiang Dejing, and Liu Yuliang, who had just built a shrine for him, and he sneered for a moment:
"You have been planning to get rid of me for a long time! It turns out that you bureaucrats are unreliable!"
"Especially you, Liu Tingyuan, just built a shrine for me, and now you are turning against me in the blink of an eye? Do you think your behavior will bring you a good end?!"
"Uncle, you don't have to blame them. They did this just for a word of loyalty. Do you still expect them to be loyal to you?!"
The prince asked at this time and then said: "Uncle, please accept the reality. Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong will not stop me because of you, even if they may sympathize with you. But they also understand that you are indeed me.
People who need to be eliminated decisively to take the throne! Therefore, at most they will only sympathize with you and will not choose to rebel with you."
Zhang Gui smiled bitterly: "I should have thought of it a long time ago. Although the Ming Dynasty's practical learning has developed so far that the world has four-wheeled carriages and steam engines, it is only a major advancement in technology."
"But you bureaucrats still want to stay in the Confucian etiquette system. You have to pay attention to the dignity of the king of heaven and earth, parents and teachers, and you have to find a master for yourself to be comfortable!"
"I feel that when there is a new emperor, I should be loyal to the new emperor. Then I take the initiative to worry about the checks and balances of the new emperor's power. I must cut off those who threaten the emperor. I feel that I can only have one master to achieve peace in the world."
"childish!"
"ignorance!"
"madness!"
Zhang Gui shouted and started to drink.
Then, he shouted to these civil servants: "Don't tell me that after you get rid of me, all of you can really be loyal to the new emperor with sincerity, neither greed nor concealment, nor flattery. Everyone dares to commit crimes."
Straightforward advice?"
"You obviously can't play with separation of powers and checks and balances. You just think that only one master can make it easier for a fool like you to live in a temple without worrying, to ride on others and dominate others, and even ride on someone who is smarter and more diligent than you, but has a better background."
It’s just that you can be the master of people who are inferior to you, but you can still be the master of those who are inferior to you with peace of mind and peace of mind!”
"After all, if you only have one master, you just need to please one master. In this way, no matter how stupid, stupid or incompetent you are, you don't have to worry about your status being affected."
Zhang Gui said through gritted teeth:
"So when you saw that I solved the problem of insufficient treasury for you, and also eliminated the slaves for you, and got rid of the biggest hidden danger, you took the initiative to come with the new emperor to clear up the troubles and kill the donkeys!"
"What Uncle Guo said is too disgusting. Others dare not say it, but Fan can promise you, Uncle Guo, that he will be unswervingly loyal to Your Majesty and to the Ming Dynasty! If Your Majesty really makes a mistake, you will not dare to say it."
If you offend Yan Zhijian, even if you die because of it!"
Fan Jingwen started talking and added: "It is true that it is unjust to execute Uncle Guo. In fact, Uncle Guo has no right to exercise authority. After all, everything was approved by the late emperor. As for forming cliques for personal gain, it is out of the question. If Uncle Guo
He is forming a clique for personal gain, and he will not serve as a remonstrance for the prince.
Okay. But there is always a reason to get rid of your uncle. Now, you can kill anyone who your uncle says. Therefore, even if you, uncle, do not exercise authority, the world already thinks that you do. Therefore,
If you say that you are monopolizing power or even seeking evil, the people of the world will believe you."
"In addition, uncle Guo, you don't have to feel wronged. Although you did not exercise power, you violated the etiquette. As a relative of the state, you should not interfere in the affairs of the state. Even if the emperor authorizes it, you should violate Yan Zhijian. Even if you disobey the emperor, you should insist on it.
I don’t accept it! But since I accept it, it is an act of disrespecting etiquette. It is trapping the king’s father into injustice and causing the king’s father to behave in a disorderly manner!”
Zhang Gui sneered: "Let me tell you, at your core, you still follow the Confucian etiquette system! Because etiquette, you can even ignore the law and justice. It's just that you find it troublesome, afraid of being uneasy, and feel that if the new emperor ascends the throne, except for
Without me, the world can continue to be peaceful, and you can cover up your own stupidity and incompetence. But do you think I, the Grand Master, will be such a helpless person?"
At this time, Wen Tiren's expression changed after hearing this, and he said sternly: "Uncle Zhang Guo! Do you want to resist the decree? Do you even care about the lives of your entire family, including your own wife and children?!"
"In addition, the Han people in the world should be regarded as compatriots, and the Han people in the world should not be mourned and starved to death. It was your uncle Zhang Guo who proposed the national sentiments. Now do you really want to harm the people who are loyal to you because of your greed for life?
Do you act like a chariot together and harm your own father, wife and children?! Will the Han people in the world suffer the disaster of war again?"
The prince also shouted at this time: "Uncle, Yuan Fu is right, I only intend to kill you. After all, it is not a last resort, and I don't want to cut off the incense of my mother's family! As long as you obey the order, today
The matter really ends today! I will even give grandpa an extra thousand hectares of fertile land so that he can spend his old age peacefully!"
Zhang Guidan smiled: "I shouldn't have saved the Ming Dynasty, but the Zhu family! If I had known, instead of bringing Zhu Ming back to life, I would have gone to a place with many refugees to rebel against the Zhu family! At least I wouldn't have to be attacked by you.
Zhu family
The bunch of bureaucrats I have raised may bring out a few people like Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and then achieve great achievements. Even if I become the emperor myself, I will use Confucian etiquette to maintain my throne. Maybe I can be even more chic.
.”
"It's too late to say anything now! Uncle Guo, plead guilty and be punished!"
At this time, Fan Jingwen shouted.
Zhang Gui took out his gun: "I don't have the word 'Fu Zhu' in my dictionary!"
With that said, Zhang Gui took out his blunderbuss, aimed it at the prince, and fired one shot at the prince: "I will kill your master first, and then I will slaughter you trash who are full of ideas about monarchs and ministers!"
At the same time, Zhang Gui also shouted: "Liu Zongmin! Qi Panzong! Follow me to fight out, go to Lushun, seize the ship and go to sea, and you will settle accounts with these bastards in the future! Don't hesitate, one of you is my confidant, and the other has long been regarded as a mere
How can I be let off by the former Emperor's sycophants after I used my strange skills to seduce them? I can only rebel with me!"
"yes!"
"kill!"
As two shouts appeared, Zhang Gui suddenly woke up and saw that it was pitch black outside and he was sweating profusely.
Only then did Zhang Gui realize that it was a dream.
