Starting from the other world, I joined the chat group at the same time

He probably felt that it was rare to find emperors in all dynasties who were as unhappy as he was.

This is how people rebel. The harder they are suppressed, the stronger their rebound will be. So whether it was the raid on Zhang Juzheng's house or his later refusal to attend court, to some extent, it was caused by this kind of rebound.

The emperor, who was at an age of restlessness and fun, was naturally curious about many other things than these boring books.

"Feng Daban, I heard that there is a special martial arts book circulating among the martial arts sects recently?"

After the study, the emperor talked about interesting topics that interested him. Compared with the so-called sage way, the emperor obviously liked these things in the martial arts world more.

"I have heard about it too. It is said that a lunatic who calls himself 'Moon Embracing Immortal' suddenly appeared in Hengshan City, and then spread a book of evil martial arts in the Book of Sword of Exorcism everywhere."

Feng Bao naturally told the emperor everything he knew - of course, he would not tell him about things like Liu Zhengfeng.

In the final analysis, that matter actually had little to do with the emperor, but was the intention and thought of Empress Dowager Li. As for why Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng, as "allies", had differences and struggles over this issue...

I can only say that if you think that political allies must not betray each other, then you are a bit naive.

"Ha! Do I have to become a eunuch to practice this skill?"

Zhu Yijun was immediately interested in the skill that required cutting off the lower body to practice, and immediately asked

"Is there such martial arts in the palace? If so, Feng Daban, have you practiced it?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. How can I understand this?"

Feng Bao showed a helpless expression. He, the eunuch holding the seal, really didn't have the "high martial arts skills" that people imagined.

He was able to sit in the position he is today not by relying on crude martial arts, but by being well-educated, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and extremely cultured. He won the favor of Emperor Longqing and finally seized the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of power.

If a person devotes all his energy to these skills, how can he have the time to train himself to become a martial arts master?

If there really was such a genius, why did he become a eunuch? With such a talent, why didn't he take the imperial examination to bring honor to his family, but did this unprecedented thing to enter the palace and become a eunuch?

So even though he was the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, he really knew nothing about martial arts.

And although there are people in the martial arts world who are saying that the Sword Manual of Exorcism came from the imperial palace, this is pure nonsense!

Feng Bao had heard of the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and he even knew about the Manual of the Sunflower - but this thing was created by eunuchs in the previous dynasty's court, and the one who practiced it was Tong Guan, a well-known leader in the eunuch industry.

Are you looking for the martial arts from the Song Dynasty court in the Ming Dynasty palace?

And who says that there must be peerless martial arts in the palace? Do you think this is a game, and that there must be advanced secrets in advanced maps?

If there must be peerless secret manuals in the palace, then the palace of the former Song Dynasty must be very safe, and there won't be a bunch of experts wandering around here for no reason!

There are indeed quite a few martial arts collections in the Ming Imperial Palace, but these were all collected by Taizu after he destroyed the Ming Cult. Although a group of palace masters were trained, they were just so-so.

Few true masters would be willing to serve the imperial court, let alone be an unknown palace guard.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't practiced before! Feng Daban, I order you to collect these sword manuals for me immediately, and then you take the lead in getting all the eunuchs in the palace to practice!"

Zhu Yijun showed an excited expression, as if he was imagining having an army of eunuchs under his command.

Feng Bao silently agreed, but he was thinking about how to reveal the news to Zhang Juzheng without making any noise.

He couldn't make the decision on this matter. Without the permission of Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Yuanfu, even if it was the emperor's order, he would not end up well if he did it!

And you trained a group of evil martial arts masters in the palace? What are you thinking? Do all nine clans want to die?

Do you really think that eunuchs are loyal to the emperor? Feng Bao himself didn't know how many of his "godsons" were honest. If there was one who got carried away...

Just when the night was getting dark, the door of the Qianqing Palace was suddenly pushed open!

Feng Bao was stunned for a moment, then he showed an angry look and quickly stepped forward to teach the eunuch who was guarding the door a lesson. But who would have thought that the next moment he froze in place!

"Immortal, Immortal?!"

What Feng Bao saw was a figure floating in the air, with a pair of flaming Garuda wings spread out behind him, like a fairy in the moon.

Even though he kept his distance from the concepts of ghosts and gods, the scene before him still made Feng Bao subconsciously show respect.

The immortal smiled at him, then pointed a finger at him.

call out! ! !

A moon-white track went straight through Feng Bao's head, and the expression on his face still remained in shock at the moment before his death.

Pfft! ! !

Zhu Yijun stared blankly at Feng Daban's body as it fell backwards towards him with a thud. Brain matter mixed with blood flowed out of the wound, flowing quietly in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Fear was like a pair of invisible hands gripping Zhu Yijun's heart. He didn't care about the dignity of the royal family. He almost screamed out instinctively.

"As an emperor, it is not proper to yell."

The next moment, the immortal who walked on the moon came over with a smile, but the Wanli Emperor was unable to utter a single word.

The frost seemed to have frozen all the muscles in his body. He looked at Xia Lang who was walking towards him in horror, looking at his eyes that were full of cruelty and teasing.

"Is this all the so-called emperor is? I don't feel any majesty at all."

Xia Lang looked at the famous emperor in front of him, thought for a moment, smiled and stretched out his hand.

"It's so easy to kill you, but before that, how about we play a game?"

"Let me try. If I kill all the so-called dignitaries in the court, will your Ming Dynasty be destroyed immediately? Or... will it still be normal?"

Zhu Yijun was unable to utter a word and could only stare at the approaching hands in horror.

Volume 23: Xia Lang’s various time travels: Chapter 22 . [Laughing Proudly] All the nobles are cysticerci!

The next day, morning

The early court procession lined up in an orderly manner in the slightly cold morning. Today's grand court meeting was still a busy day for all officials.

At the head of all officials is a middle-aged man with a solemn and silent face. His identity is unquestionable. He is Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister who now controls the court and the country.

He always felt like something was going to happen today.

Maybe it was because he felt his right eyelid twitching when he woke up at midnight, or maybe it was because of something he did not long ago that made Zhang Juzheng feel very bad.

How dare those gangsters imagine that they can get an official position by bribing their superiors and pollute the court?

Of course he would not allow such a thing to happen. The Ming Dynasty court was already in a state of chaos, and if these gangsters mixed in, how could it be tolerated?

Of course, Zhang Juzheng could understand Empress Dowager Li's idea of ​​training some useful personnel and teams for herself and the emperor.

Zhang Juzheng was not particularly opposed to selling official positions and titles. After all, he had done similar things in private.

Even if he didn't use vulgar money transactions, he did a lot of "extraordinary favors" to build up his own power. He even asked someone to take the exam for his son.

But the precedent of buying a third-rank official is absolutely not allowed.

Zhang Juzheng was certainly not a good person. How could a good person be in his position? He was a ruthless and cruel person in every aspect, otherwise how could he be in his current position.

An honest official is the most precious thing in this world. An honest official is also the most worthless thing!

Being honest and poor is a good virtue, but what's the use of having no merits? If the thieves come, I will die! It is harmful to the country if such a person sits in Zhang Juzheng's position!

But sending people to eliminate Liu Zhengfeng to stop Empress Dowager Li's thoughts and taking action against the eunuchs seemed to be a bit too much.

Especially since those gangsters didn't do their job well and didn't kill the person, so now it's embarrassing...

Forget it, no matter what, if the emperor really knew about this, Zhang Juzheng would not make any concessions!

Besides, he was the one who was right anyway. Just by bringing up Emperor Ling of Han, no one in the court could refute his position!

While he was thinking, the palace gate slowly opened. Without even taking out his badge, Zhang Juzheng, walking in an official manner, was the first to walk through the Meridian Gate.

While waiting for the etiquette officials to come out and whip and play classical music at the Jinshui Bridge, Zhang Juzheng felt even more uneasy...

No, there seems to be fewer people in the palace today!

Zhang Juzheng's eyes were sharp, and he had already determined that many eunuchs were missing from the palace gate. He was not sure what was going on, but the feeling of uneasiness was already making his palms sweat.

Soon, the complicated process was finally over. All the officials were divided into civil and military sides and stood in their respective teams. Then they filed in through the imperial road and entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After the civil and military ministers stood in their respective seats, all the officials knelt down and bowed three times as the official from the Honglu Temple sang the ceremony.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"My gentlemen, please stand up!"

The emperor's voice was a little weak, as if he was sick. The officials headed by Zhang Juzheng raised their heads, and then they all stood there in a daze.

Because he was right next to the emperor's dragon throne - no, it could even be said that the young man with such an extraordinary temperament was actually leaning on the dragon throne!

He leaned against the dragon throne in a lazy and even frivolous manner, and looked at the ministers below with interest with his eyes that were slightly eyelinered, with an unconcealable mockery and cruelty in his eyes.

Such a look made Zhang Juzheng shudder all over, and an indescribable sense of danger made him immediately close his mouth that was about to open!

But he kept his mouth shut, others wouldn't

"How dare you, you idiot, to blaspheme the Holy Chariot! Get off the stage now!!!"

The Imperial Censor was the first to stand up and harshly rebuke the young man above, and this was the job of this group of people.

During the morning court sessions of the Ming Dynasty, most impeachments were not attacks on colleagues' deeds and mistakes, but attacks on their various moral and demeanor issues.

Did you move a few more times during the morning court session? You don't respect the rules of etiquette. I ask Your Majesty to expel this beast!

You and your wife are not getting along and you had a quarrel last night? There is something wrong with your behavior. I beg Your Majesty to punish this beast!

As for the private rumors about who had molested someone's wife or what bad things he had done, they became the main targets of attack by this group of censors.

Basically, 80% of the time in a court meeting was spent listening to these censors quarreling and swearing at each other, and those first and second rank officials were happy with this situation.

After all, in this way, the emperor would have no time to take care of their affairs.

And now seeing such a madman who almost trampled the words "propriety and law" under his feet and leaned on the dragon throne so arrogantly, naturally, the censors who heard the news became excited in an instant!

In a short period of time, not to mention a dozen or so, almost all the censors in the court stood up and started to criticize.

The entire court meeting was like a group of noisy ducks quacking and making a lot of noise.

In contrast, the real powerful bureaucrats, including Zhang Juzheng, were quiet.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong!

Why was the man above so arrogant, but the emperor didn't say anything at all! And - where was Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal?

As an absurd idea formed in Zhang Juzheng and his companions' minds, Xia Lang, who was sitting on the high seat, finally spoke.

"So this is what the morning court is like? Listening to a bunch of useless people talking nonsense."

Not only did Xia Lang not stop leaning, but he provocatively sat on the side of the dragon throne and pushed the little emperor over. This action made the censors shut up!

They looked at this unthinkable scene in amazement. Even those guys who had nothing to do except scolding others realized that something was seriously wrong.

"My dear ministers, this... Immortal Xia Lang has been appointed by me as the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Wanli looked frustrated and in pain, but he could only say this obediently.

Country, national teacher?

Such a strange result left all the civil and military officials in the court puzzled. The Imperial Master is not an official title, but merely a title, a respectful title given by the emperor to masters in the religious or academic fields.

But throughout the dynasties, there has never been any "imperial master" who could be so arrogant as to sit on the same dragon throne with the emperor!

"You demon, you must have used some evil magic to bewitch His Majesty! Someone, come and rescue Him!!!"

The first person to react was the Chief Censor of the Censorate, but no matter how he called out, it was as quiet as death outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

No Han generals, no palace guards, no Jinyiwei and no eunuchs came.

The entire Forbidden City was as quiet as a huge cemetery.

Xia Lang just smiled as he watched the voice of the Chief Censor of the Censorate gradually fade from high to low. When it finally stopped completely, he said happily:

"Scream, why don't you keep screaming? Oh, sorry, just last night, I killed everyone in the Forbidden City who would resist me~~~~"

"Whether it was the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, the eunuchs, or any of the others, I killed them all."

At this point, Xia Lang clapped his hands, and then he saw a group of eunuchs, with their heads bowed and trembling, coming out with some silver plates in their hands. When they lifted the red cloth on top, what was revealed was - heads one after another!!!

Among them were many masters from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, as well as the palace guards and even - there was a head that made people gasp.

That is the head of Prince Lu Zhu Yiliu!

This "backup choice" of ministers including Zhang Juzheng, the second son of Empress Dowager Li and the younger brother of Emperor Wanli, now only has a bleeding head left.

This fact made everyone gasp. If this was the case, then Queen Mother Li would...

The cold sunlight refracted through the dusty air outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The unscrupulous madman on the dragon throne said with interest:

"I have always believed that the royal family is the most redundant thing in the world. Isn't it best if the royal family is maintained at a number of no more than 20 people? Of course, I think it would be best if the emperor didn't even need to stay."
