Reincarnation Showdown

Chapter 138 The Holy One fell into the water!
On the other side, in the palace, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, and Yu Huatian, the governor of the West Factory, were all troubled by the difficult Emperor Zhengde, and they didn't know how to dissuade them.

The emperor of the fused world is not the emperor Zhao Weizong in the original work of The Four Famous Catchers. After all, this is the Ming Dynasty.

It is not the Ming Xianzong in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", but the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

This emperor was a weird one in history. Not only was he addicted to beauty, but he also believed in eunuchs. In order to fight against the ministers in the court, he would even go to court for many days without even reading the memorials.

If that's all, he's just a fool, not worth mentioning.

But unfortunately, he is not.

During the years when he was in power, he could be considered to have created a "little prosperous age", and he also proclaimed himself a general to fight foreigners and won easily. He also suppressed Prince Ning's rebellion at home, got rid of the eunuch Liu Jin with a wave of his hand, and re-employed Wang Yangming.

He also did a lot of good things.

Even his imperial edicts to restrain the clan and encourage officials were handed down to later generations, in which he attached great importance to the people.

If he hadn't capsized in the end, fell into the water and died of cold, maybe he could have opened up a prosperous age.

"Your Majesty, going on patrol is a big deal. Please choose your date carefully!" An old eunuch stopped him in front of him.

In response to this, Emperor Zhengde looked angry: "I want to go on patrol incognito, but you won't let me, and now you want to choose a date. I want to inspect the people's sentiments, and I want to see the people! What are you afraid of?"

In order to leave the palace, he finally found an excuse and transferred all the people from the East Factory and the West Factory.

But seeing that everything was ready, the personal old eunuch refused to give in.

Said to choose a date.

How could he be willing?

"But it's a temple fair, and there are too many people. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" said the old eunuch.

In response to this, the emperor shook his head and said: "Is there no talent to go? Then why do you understand the public sentiment? I understand your good intentions, but there is no risk to me hiding in the palace?"

He knows better than anyone what the current situation is like.

It was simply a mess of horse hair.

The concubines in the harem were fighting to the death, and the ministers in the court were fighting fiercely. The emperor's uncle, Tie Guan Shenhou, who appeared to be in charge of the country, was actually an ambitious man who plotted to seize the throne.

The composition of the Praetorian Guards is complicated and cannot be trusted at all.

Although Cao Zhengchun was obedient, he also formed cliques for personal gain. In addition, the Queen Mother supported him with one hand, and she often treated him in both positive and negative ways.

No one can be trusted at all.

"Everyone in the world says that I am a faint king, so I want to see with my own eyes, how the common people are so angry, and where I am faint!" the emperor said again.

Finally, at his insistent request, he left the palace.

Just like in the original work, he was first blown up to pieces of the ship, fell into the water, and finally escaped to the shore, only to find that the Praetorian Guards fired arrows as soon as they saw him, obviously running to kill him.

In fact, he could not have escaped before on the ship without having to pretend to give way.

"First, the imperial uncle's guards attacked me, and now even the imperial guards guarding the palace gate are trying to harm me. Who else can I trust?" The emperor was completely worried.

In fact, he is not really unavailable.

Dongchang Cao Zhengchun was at least loyal, so he wanted to return to the palace, but now he couldn't get in at all.

No one from the Baolong clan is here either.

Surrounded by people from the Six Gates, if something happened under the protection of the Six Gates, he was sure there was something wrong. As for the Shenhou Mansion, he was saved there in the original book, but now he couldn't count on it at all.

Zhuge Zheng and I are still locked up in the Jinyiwei Prison!
"How about going to the Jin Yiwei?" the personal eunuch suggested.

This made the emperor hesitate.

In his opinion, Jin Yiwei has already fallen into the hands of Hulong Villa, and the commander Wen Shijie is also unreliable.However, although Zhu Wushi conspired to seize the throne, he still kept silent. He was not as blatant as Cai Jing.You don’t necessarily want to die.

But it's hard to say.

What if he killed himself and then blamed Cai Jing?
After capturing Cai Jing, Zhu Wuwu, as the emperor's uncle, could legitimately ascend to the throne.

In the same way, his other imperial uncle is not reliable either.

"What should we do?" The emperor was desperate for a moment.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves ahead.

A densely packed guard of thousands of people actually stopped in front of him, and then four people dismounted and walked over, lined up in front of him.

"This is?"

"The White Tigers of the Jinyi Guards (Suzaku, Wuchang, Greedy Wolf) have met Your Majesty." The four cold-blooded men immediately knelt down and said in unison: "I am late to save you, please forgive me."

……

In the end, the emperor did not return to the palace, but came to Jinyiwei.

Because the imperial guards at the palace gate cannot be trusted at all.

"You mean, someone in the Jinyi Guard knew that I would be in trouble today, and even imprisoned the commander Wen Shijie in advance and took control of the entire guard just to save my life?" When he learned the cause and effect, Zhu Houzhao's brows furrowed. It became "Sichuan".

Then, when he came to where Lin Yuan was, led by Lengxue, he became even more confused.

In a room filled with eighteen kinds of weapons, the young man laid out the Four Books and Five Classics on the table, and grilled meat with charcoal on the stove, with an arrow piercing the meat.

Just like weapons and sage books, they are useless.

As if seeing the confusion on his face, the young man didn't even look up and said directly: "Don't you think it's a bit blasphemous to the sage's book? And you also feel sorry for the craftsmen who made the arrows?"

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "A little bit."

Although he didn't like reading, and even said he hated it, he also knew that those were the classics of sages.

If it can be passed down, it must be passed down for a reason.

"But can the sage's book change the current chaos in the court? The arrows are sharp and can kill those ambitious people. Can the world still be peaceful?" Lin Yuandao said.

Naturally, he wanted to put on a show in front of the emperor and gain more respect.

This is also impossible.

If possible, he would like to have a "Taizu's dream", but it is impossible: as an emperor, Zhu Houzhao's body contains extremely strong dragon energy. That thing is the nemesis of magic, and any illusion has no effect.

But fortunately, compared to this era, he himself can be regarded as a "great sage".

No need to pretend, just act cool.

When it came to the court situation, the emperor also became interested.

He knew that capable people would also test whether they were worthy of loyalty to the emperor.

So he said: "Of course not. The only thing that can change the situation of the court is the sword. What can kill ambition is not arrows, but the determination to punish traitors."

After saying that, he paused and then said, "But this court is really too chaotic!"

Dongchang, Xichang, Hulong Villa, Xiangfu, any one of them can cause chaos in the world if taken alone.

All together, there is no doubt that it will be absolute hell mode for the Emperor.

"The root cause of the chaos in the court is that there are too many departments!" Lin Yuan suddenly laughed and said: "Have you ever thought about it, if there is no Dragon Guard Villa, no Prime Minister's Mansion, no six doors and east and west gates above the court? Factory, what will it look like?”
