Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 697 lay down the rules
After the great purge, countless officials of the new generation were promoted, and the storm of purge finally swept Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and other eight tigers.

Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, Qiu Ju, Gao Feng, Ma Yongcheng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin

Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai
And Yan Song!

Several knives used by Zhu Houzhao gathered together, waiting for Zhu Houzhao's final decision.

Whether it is life or death, it all depends on Zhu Houzhao's thought.

"You have followed me for more than 1 years!"

Looking at the notorious eunuchs and treacherous ministers in front of him, Zhu Houzhao said softly.

Liu Jin, Yan Song and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak out, feeling extremely anxious.

They were able to control the power because of Zhu Houzhao, and they knew Zhu Houzhao's ruthlessness best. Now that Zhu Houzhao is about to abdicate, their good days are coming to an end.

Zhu Houzhao ignored the fear of Liu Jin, Yan Song and others, and said to himself: "I have ruled the world for more than 1 years, and you have done a lot of things for me. You have worked hard without credit, and I don't want to do things." Absolutely."

His eyes fell on Liu Jin and the other eight tigers: "From now on, let go of all the powers in your hands and go to Zijin Mountain to guard the imperial mausoleum!"

"You have enjoyed everything you should enjoy. Now that you have retreated bravely, you can still save your old life."

This is not asking for their opinions, but an order, if you don't follow, you will die.

Zhu Houzhao was not discussing with them.

"My servant, thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness!"

Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and the other eight tigers dare not obey. If they don't obey the emperor's will, they can only die.

After following Zhu Houzhao for so many years, they know Zhu Houzhao's methods too well.

After raising a dog for more than 1 years, no matter how deep the relationship is, it is still insignificant compared to a real son.

What's more, they have done too many dirty things for Zhu Houzhao, if they don't get out early, they will die sooner or later.

It's good to be alive.

"Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai, entered the secret realm at the top of the Sutra Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, and hid it as the foundation of the Ming Dynasty."

Shi Wenyi and Zhang Cai have no objection to this. The two of them have long wanted to run away. After all, Jin Yiwei swept all the dynasties and offended too many people. There are not [-] people who want them to die, but [-].

Shi Wenyi took Jinyiwei Tiqi to attack the Yangzhou skinny horse trade in various dynasties, but it cut off the interests of countless people.

Finally, Yan Song!

Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Go to Sun Moon Academy and become a teacher!"

Yan Song's proposal to support the separation of the vassal kings has offended the vassal kings group enough. If he continues to stay in the court, the kings will not let him go.

Yan Song obviously understood this, kowtowed and said: "Chen, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Acting as Zhu Houzhao's backer, Yan Song knows his situation better than anyone else. It is extremely dangerous, and there are many people who wish to swallow him alive.

Before the liquidation came, it was his only choice to quickly withdraw and retreat.

He is also not worried that the Yan family will be ruined after he retires. He is Zhu Houzhao's backer, and Yan Shifan is Zhu Qiyuan's microphone. Relieved.

The Eight Tigers, Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai, and Yan Song retreated, and Zhu Houzhao immediately arranged for Zhu Qiyuan's men to take the top.

Cao Zhengchun is the admiral of Dongchang, and he is in charge of the Ritual Supervisor!
Lin Pingzhi is the admiral of Xichang, and he is in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor!
Jinyiwei Qianhu Zuo Tianming was promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei!

Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, was promoted to Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and took charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei have always been the sword in the hands of the emperor, and no one dared to comment on the transformation of the leader.

Only the post of Zuodu Yushi in the Metropolitan Procuratorate caused quite a disturbance.

Many ministers disagreed with Yan Shifan being in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but they were all suppressed by Zhu Houzhao.

Yan Shifan is Zhu Houzhao's backer prepared for Zhu Qiyuan. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the responsibility of supervising all officials, and it needs to be firmly in the hands of the emperor.

Everything is transitioning smoothly!
Zhu Houzhao also gradually handed over the cards in his hand to Zhu Qiyuan.

The Azure Dragon Society, the Hall of Enshrinement, and the Great Ming Twelve Immortal Dao Army led by Yu Wentuo, which had been established long ago but never appeared in this world.

When everything was almost ready, Zhu Houzhao issued several imperial edicts to restrict civil and military officials, many vassal kings, and the emperor.

First, all imperial courts can only reign for 3 years, and after 3 years, they need to enter the ancestral temple and devote themselves to practice and suppress the background of the Ming Dynasty;

Second, no matter whether it is a civil official or a general, the limit is 3 years, and if it exceeds 3 years, it is considered to be automatically a scholar, and enter the core small world of the Sun Moon Academy;
Third, in order to ensure that there will be no chaos in the inheritance of the throne, the term of each emperor shall not exceed 3 years.

The kings, civil servants, military generals, and emperors all have a term of 3 years, in order to prevent the solidification of the power class and cause the Ming Dynasty to lose its vitality.

As a prisoner of powerful power, Zhu Houzhao knows that in the prosperous age of immortality, it is only easy for those who have achieved success to live for tens of thousands of years. If one generation is allowed to hold power forever, then the Ming Dynasty will be forever lost. .

If a huge empire loses its vitality, it will also lose its further hope.

Especially in terms of succession to the throne, an old emperor has occupied the throne for a long time, and the princes have no hope of taking the throne, and rebellion is inevitable.

Father and son kill each other, human relations tragedy!
Zhu Houzhao set the rule that the emperor's term of office is only 3 years, which is also well-intentioned.

Of course, there are countless people who are dissatisfied with the three rules established by Zhu Houzhao.

For example, Lao Zhu and Zhu Di will retire from the ancestral temple by the time limit of 3 years. How can they accept this?

But in the face of the powerful Zhu Houzhao, no matter how dissatisfied Lao Zhu and Zhu Di were, they could only endure it. At this point, the consequences of angering Zhu Houzhao are very serious.

Zhu Houzhao is not crazy yet, but it is not much different from being crazy. Whoever dares to block Zhu Houzhao to pave the way for Zhu Qiyuan, Zhu Houzhao dares to send him to death.

one year later
Zhu Houzhao abdicated, Zhu Qiyuan ascended the throne, and Zhu Houzhao disappeared. Taking advantage of the last moment, he went to see his country and keep the sun, moon, mountains and rivers of Daming in his heart.

Zhu Qiyuan started the game with the kings.

Unsurprisingly, without Zhu Houzhao's suppression, Lao Zhu, Zhu Di and other kings, as well as various forces, began to feel that they were doing it again, and made all kinds of unreasonable demands on Zhu Qiyuan.

The kings wanted to share power equally. The emperor shared the world with all the kings. After all, they all had the surname Zhu. The world was so big that the emperor couldn't manage it alone, so the kings should help.

The civil officials demanded the abolition of the fake hundred schools of thought in the Sun Moon Academy and the exclusive respect for Confucianism;

Scholars are clamoring for preferential treatment and privileges;
Merchants, aristocratic families, and sects are constantly making trouble for their own interests.

Maybe it was suppressed by Zhu Houzhao for too long, but when it broke out this time, everyone had an aura of not reaching their goals and vowing not to give up.

But they seem to have overlooked one point, Zhu Qiyuan is Zhu Houzhao's son.

Zhu Qiyuan is not as ruthless as Zhu Houzhao, but he is not easy to bully. If he wants to take advantage of his new position and try to force him to compromise, it is daydreaming and wishful thinking.

It's just killing people, and it's not like Zhu Qiyuan can't do it. He holds a few weapons that Zhu Houzhao left him in his hands. If he wants to deter the world, he can't do it casually.
