Wanli 1592

Chapter 944

The Emperor Palace was emptied, and the obstacles no longer existed.

Liu Huangshang completed what he regarded as Xiao Ruxun's final test.

He sent Zhu Yijun back to Yuxi Palace, then ignored him, and handed over the management power to that young man named Zhou Yao.

This young man should be Xiao Ruxun's close minister, who always helps him with errands. Presumably, the relationship with Xiao Ruxun is very deep. Liu Huangshang doesn't know how Xiao Ruxun found this young man. When meeting him, Liu Huangshang I felt a look of scrutiny and suspicion.

This young man doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.

Liu Huangshang didn't dare to speculate on what this young man was responsible for. He was afraid of offending Xiao Ruxun's taboo, so he didn't dare to ask random questions. He only wanted to get closer to Xiao Ruxun now. More and better benefits.

Of course, there are still more things that need to be done before this, such as controlling Zhu Changluo and Queen Mother Li, and preparing for the Zen throne ceremony, declaring that Zhu Yijun is dead, and that he died at the hands of Shen Yiguan and others, so Xiao Ruxun can't If you don't conform to heaven and earth, you will be forced to proclaim yourself emperor and so on.

Although Liu Huangshang himself didn't believe this kind of nonsense, everyone has been doing this since ancient times. When you have reached your strength, you can't help but not believe it.

I'm proclaiming myself emperor, what can you do to me?
I'm just domineering, what can you do to me?
I'm just talking nonsense with black and white upside down, what can you do to me?
The weak can only accept it passively.

In addition, Xiao Ruxun still has a lot of things to do.

The day before yesterday, on the night when he proclaimed himself emperor, Xiao Ruxun sent someone to deliver a letter to Mr. Kong in Qufu, Shandong. If they are willing to cooperate, then things will go much smoother.

Of course, the more important point is that he sent Luo Rong to lead a 5000-man cavalry south that night, and arranged a team before him in Qufu, led by the anonymous Ma Gui, and Mei Guozhen was among them. Ma Gui monitored Kong for him, and entrusted Mei Guozhen to be the liaison between him and Kong.

The reason why Xiao Ruxun sent troops to the south was not just to target the Kong family. The Kong family did not have force, so it was actually very easy to deal with the Kong family. It would be effortless to kill them. Xiao Ruxun did this because of Magui.

He doesn't care about Mei Guozhen, Mei Guozhen is nothing at all, and he probably won't support him, but Ma Gui is a bit important, this is also a test for Ma Gui, if Ma Gui supports himself as emperor, and With a showdown with Mei Guozhen, Ma Gui can be formally accepted.

If Ma Gui has any objections, Luo Rong's five thousand cavalry can strangle hidden dangers in the cradle.

Anyway, Kong is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Xiao Ruxun will not let anyone who might threaten his title of emperor be spared, no matter who they are.

In addition, if there are still dissatisfied people in the local area who want to rebel, it is very simple. Those who are sent to spread the word are the army. Xiao Ruxun arranges the army in various places. What happens to the army? The banditry in the country must be eradicated first, and then the civilian officials will resume administration.

Then gradually restore the stability of the world.

In this way, the three southeastern provinces have no problems, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi have no problems, Yunnan may have a little problem, Beizhili, Liaodong and Shandong may also have a small problem, and the nine borders have basically no problems. It is not difficult to win the whole world.

Therefore, it is better to write down by yourself than to talk about it. You can make decisions and have the final say. If you talk about it, you will have more scruples.

Xiao Ruxun doesn't plan to negotiate peace with anyone, you only have the right to accept, you don't have the right to resist, if you dare to resist, you will die.

have nothing to say.

After Shen Yiguan was killed, the capital was completely defenseless. The core of the palace city was taken down, and there was no need for the entire capital to continue to defend. Of course, at that time, the other three armies had already entered the interior. city.

Xiao Ruxun sent people to contact the three armies, and asked their main generals to come outside the Emperor Palace, while he entered the Palace alone.

Huangji Hall is the main hall of the Forbidden City. It is an important palace where the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty discussed important military matters. Many decisions were made here and announced to the world. Similarly, the enthronement of the new emperor must be completed here, so that it can be regarded as orthodox.

Strolling in this majestic palace, Xiao Ruxun could vaguely feel the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. When he woke up in the city of Pinglu in the northwest border, he never thought that one day he would draw an end to the Ming Dynasty with his own hands.

But now, I am standing in the Emperor Palace, standing in this palace that already belongs to me, looking at the high throne in the palace.

He walked forward, walked up the steps, stood in front of the throne, and examined the dragon chair.

From ancient times to the present, how many people with lofty ideals and careerists have been fighting around this dragon chair, how many people have died, and how many people have successfully boarded the dragon chair to call for wind and rain.

He knows very well that the emperor is the most dangerous profession in the world. Once he becomes an emperor, he is doomed to face the ending of being alone. He has no friends in the true sense, and all he faces is enemies in a certain sense.

Once he ascends to the throne and changes his identity, he is doomed to embark on a path where he can't see the future and the end. He has to start playing tricks, playing with the way of balance, and fighting for the stability of the throne. He will do a lot Things he never thought of.

He might kill people, some people who were very close before, even former comrades-in-arms, not because of anything else, but because these people didn't change their mentality in time and didn't understand the word emperor more thoroughly.

He may deliberately promote some terrible guys to the top, let them set off a bloodbath, just to restore the balance of the court.

He will have no allies, no friends.

He will also embark on a road that no one has traveled, a road that is destined to affect future generations for thousands of years.

He himself doesn't know whether he can sit firmly in this world.

But he has no way out, the trend of the times, the direction of the people, cannot be changed by manpower, he can only keep moving forward, overcoming obstacles, heading for his own future, and opening up a path that leads to light instead of destruction. He had to, he had no other choice.

He forced himself and his subordinates to this road, and now, he really has no choice.

Maybe he himself didn't want that so-called choice at all.

Today's Xiao Ruxun is a person who can only move forward and cannot stop.

The same goes for everyone who followed him, and they couldn't stop.

Generals, literati, they can't stop.

So they all chose to kneel outside the Huangji Hall, and shouted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" to their leader and the emperor to express their submission and follow. They firmly believed that only following Xiao Ruxun , they can get what they want.

On December 26, the 26th year of Wanli, there were five days before the end of the Wanli Era of the Ming Dynasty. On this day, the sound of the Shan Hu Long Live reverberated over the entire capital.
