Although the Emperor of Japan is said to be of the eternal lineage, in fact, few of them actually hold power, and they are nothing more than mascots.
However, it is precisely because of this that the emperor's status is not affected by the changes of ruling ministers and even the shogunate.
In fact, Tao Xiaowu originally thought that even if Daxi developed into this situation, it would not be bad.
As long as Da Xi is still there and the emperor is still his descendant, there will be a steady stream of humane luck flowing to him. Although it is not much, it is stable!
However, the situation does not allow it!
This great change of three thousand years has already arrived!
Tao Xiaowu slowly closed his eyes and sat in silence.
General Yuan Feng raised an army to attack Prime Minister Chen An, and with the Qing emperor on his side, he took control of the power of the court. Only then was he satisfied with his ambition, but the world was already in chaos.
The governors of the southeastern provinces issued statements one after another, declaring that General Yuan Feng was a traitor, imprisoning the emperor, and deposing the prime minister without authorization, which was actually a power traitor that brought harm to the country and the people.
Therefore, it is necessary to organize the five southeastern provinces to fight against the rebels, attack the capital, rescue the emperor, and relieve the people of the country.
The general Yuan Feng was immediately furious and also declared these governors of the southeastern provinces to be traitors and followers of the thief Chen An.
So he went to the palace again and asked Tao Xiaowu to issue an imperial edict to kill these traitors.
This is cooperating with the emperor to order the princes!
Of course, Tao Xiaowu could not refuse at this time. He acquiesced in the matter and asked the general Yuan Feng to take the emperor's jade seal, write an edict and publish it to the world.
Then organize the rebel army to fight to the death with the royalist armies in the five southeastern provinces.
The two sides marched on their own, and hundreds of thousands of troops fought a good fight for half a month, leaving the warring provinces in a state of chaos.
The rebel army began to fight against the rebels with strong soldiers and horses, and gained the upper hand.
Chen Feng relied on the power of the imperial court, the righteousness of the emperor, and the powerful troops at his hands to quickly conquer the southeastern provinces.
However, at this time, the southeastern provinces colluded with the Barrow powers and received a large amount of aid, guns, weapons, etc.
When Tao Xiaowu founded the country, the seventh capital of the world's wealth was already in the southeast.
Not to mention a time like this!
If Yuan Feng could not occupy the southeastern provinces and obtain wealth in a short period of time, his failure was already doomed.
The royalist army had guns and money, although the army was weaker.
However, you can have a steady stream of supplements and become stronger as you fight.
But the royalist army under Yuan Feng was different. The battle had been going on for about half a year, and the imperial treasury was already empty enough to race.
Yuan Feng did not stop doing anything, and simply borrowed money from the Ivanshaki Empire in the north, promising to cede the land of Mobei.
When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar!
In this era, telegraphs, newspapers and other things have gradually begun to become popular, and people's wisdom has gradually opened up.
Yuan Feng's actions naturally caused an uproar throughout the country, with voices of opposition and curses rising.
At this time, in the palace, several middle- and low-level officers of the Forbidden Army were already kneeling at the feet of Tao Xiaowu: "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Tao Xiaowu also stood up slowly and said: "After everything is done, I am willing to share the wealth and honor with you!"
When these officers heard this, their blood boiled with excitement, but they all said: "I don't dare!"
The next day, news came from the palace that the emperor was seriously ill.
After hearing this, Yuan Feng didn't have much doubt and went directly to the palace to inquire about his condition.
However, as soon as I stepped into the palace, my heart skipped a beat, I realized something was wrong, and I was pointed at by dozens of black guns.
He had recognized that these soldiers were clearly sent by him to guard the palace.
Especially the leader is a Sima under him.
The same surname is Yuan, but his name is Yuan Qi. He is from the same clan, so he should be trustworthy!
But he never thought that Yuan Qi would betray him!
He's just a Sima, a mid- to low-level officer with hundreds of people under his command.
Yuan Feng was shocked and angry, and shouted at these soldiers: "What do you want to do? How dare you betray me?"
Then he pointed at this Sima and shouted coldly: "I am not mean to you, how dare you do this?"
The other soldiers were afraid of Yuan Feng's power and retreated. Only this Sima said coldly: "We have been summoned by His Majesty to get rid of the thieves. The traitor Yuan Feng deceived the emperor and betrayed the country, and secretly formed a secret alliance with foreign enemies. The crime cannot be punished!"
Just hearing the banging sound, Yuan Feng was shot several times and fell into a pool of blood.
There was also a burst of crackling gunshots outside, but it was the guards and others brought in by Yuan Feng who were all killed!
He had a look of disbelief on his face. He didn't expect that he had so much power, he could recycle it into clouds and exhale into rain, but he would die so cowardly.
What's more, I can't understand how Tao Xiaowu bribed these soldiers who knew him?
It's a pity that Yuan Feng will never have the chance to know!
Just when Yuan Feng closed his eyes and breathed his last completely, Tao Xiaowu had already slowly walked out from behind the curtain.
The emperor holds the title of righteousness in the world. As long as this is still there, even if he has only one soldier in his hand, or even if he doesn't even have a penny, he still has capital. As long as he works hard, he can win over people!
Since ancient times, many emperors who have been ignored by others have been trapped in deep palaces, unable to do anything. The important reason is that they grew up in deep palaces, had no chance to contact the lower classes, and simply did not know how to win people's hearts.
I don’t even know how to win over the hearts of middle- and lower-class people!
But this is not a problem for Tao Xiaowu!
Of course, it was Tao Xiaowu who always behaved very well and cooperatively, which made Yuan Feng lose his guard.
At the same time, Yuan Feng was worried about the domestic situation at this time, and he didn't pay much attention to the palace.
"Your Majesty! We have already killed the thief!"
Sima Yuan Qi said excitedly and fearfully.
No one thought that such a big thing could be so simple and successful!
Tao Xiaowu said in a deep voice: "Please wait and be happy, this matter has just begun.
Once it becomes known to Yuan Feng's gang and he sends troops to break into the palace, we will have no chance of death!
Now follow me and leave the palace as planned!"
Yuan Qi immediately said: "I will fight to the death to protect His Majesty!"
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly and shouted: "Then let's go!"
Soon, many soldiers followed the plan, took out various ceremonial and other things, and walked out of the palace, banging them.
...
At the General's Mansion, we just received news that gunshots were heard in the palace. We were afraid that it would be detrimental to the General, so we needed to mobilize troops and horses immediately to enter the palace to suppress it.
However, after Yuan Feng's death, his men were leaderless. For a while, the generals were talking about it, but no one could come up with an idea.
Fortunately, there were mostly soldiers here. After arguing for a long time, they finally reached a consensus that troops needed to be sent to suppress it.
However, more than an hour has passed by now!
To be fair, more than an hour is not too much time.
When the top figure of a force dies and there is no heir, it is already very good to be able to make a decision so quickly!
