Zhu Heyu returned to Prince Xin's Mansion ahead of schedule.
He wanted to see if the Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who was temporarily stationed in Prince Xin's Mansion, noticed anything.
After all, he and Zhu Cunshu and other clan members are going to do something big together.
Once this major event is successful, it will naturally enable his family to truly stand above all the people and enjoy legal and tax exemptions.
But if it fails, it is very likely that the person will be killed.
Therefore, Zhu Heyi must be extremely careful.
What reassured Zhu Hewen was that when he returned, he found that Emperor Zhu Youxiao and the people around him seemed to have no unusual behavior. Even his assistant minister Du Yinxi and his close minister Qiao Keke were safely in front of the emperor.
And he, the imperial uncle, was still calm and leisurely traveling around with his eldest father.
Because Zhu Youxiao no longer treated the clan as waste, but allowed them to get involved in military affairs and even seize the world, the clan forces began to have the ambition to challenge the imperial power, and wanted to put clan power above the imperial power, or That is to say, at least he wanted the imperial power to recognize and protect the family rights.
All in all, as the clans began to gain power, some clan members gradually had different ambitions.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhu Heyi and others falsely conveyed a secret edict and sent the emperor's imperial troops to leave, premeditating evil.
Zhu Youxiao knew that China had thousands of years of family history, so it was impossible for the royal family to accept the reality that they were equal to ordinary Han people. Naturally, many of them still wanted to maintain a society that regarded the royal family as the past. The noble family is a world-type social system.
But Zhu Youxiao also knew that this kind of wishful thinking was out of date, and it was impossible to change anything. After all, few Han people in the world were still willing to be slaves.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not worry too much about what might happen, but lived his daily life as an emperor indifferently.
"The word "Imperial Brother" is getting better and better!"
On this day, at dusk, Zhu Youxiao was writing in his study.
What Zhu Youxiao wrote was to be engraved on the Monument to the Chinese National Heroes in Manila.
King Xin Zhu Youjian was still accompanying him and said something.
Zhu Youxiao laughed after listening to Zhu Youjian's words: "It's not that good. I just hope that a hundred years from now, I won't be ridiculed by the world."
"It's too late for people in the world to respect you. How can you laugh at it?"
When Zhu Youjian was talking, Su Wei's voice came from outside the study door: "Your Majesty, you can't go in!"
The prince Su Wei calls is Zhu Heyu.
Because Zhu Heyu's father, Zhu Cijiong, was already the king of the county, and as Zhu Cijiong's eldest son, he was naturally honored as the crown prince.
At this time, Zhu Heyu was outside and said loudly: "Let me in! Something bad has happened. Many uncles and uncles suddenly sent letters to the palace with their own soldiers. It is estimated that there are about two or three thousand people. Let me go in and inform the emperor." Uncle and eldest father know, maybe one of you can go in and report it."
Zhu Youxiao heard it in the study at this time, so he stopped the pen in his hand and took a look at Du Yinxi.
Du Yinxi understood and walked towards Yimen.
Zhu Youjian was quite shocked here. He couldn't help but look back at Zhu Youxiao: "Here, brother emperor, how about my brother also go and have a look?"
"You don't have to go, the sky won't fall!"
After Zhu Youxiao said something, he put down his pen and sat back in his chair.
"what happened?"
Du Yinxi came over at this time, asked the guards guarding the Yimen, and then saluted Zhu Heyu: "Your Majesty!"
"The prince just made a fuss about going in. He said that many sects and vassals came with their own soldiers."
The guards replied.
Zhu Heyi also said: "Gefu, please let me in, they will be here soon! I have to go and tell the emperor's uncle and eldest father that they know."
"come in!"
Du Yinxi said.
Then, Du Yinxi ordered: "Strengthen the vigilance! Close the door. No one is allowed to enter without permission. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed!"
"yes!"
The guards shouted back.
Zhu Heyi had already arrived in front of Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian at this time, and immediately reported to them that a large number of clan members and soldiers came to Xinwang's Mansion.
"What do they want to do?"
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "No matter what they want to do, you have to let them in first before they know."
With that said, Zhu Youxiao told Qiao Ke: "Go and tell Du Yinxi that if any sects come to see you later, let them in, but you can't bring in the retinue."
"yes!"
Qiao Ke replied.
"Brother Imperial, you said they directly rebelled?"
Zhu Youjian replied at this time.
"They dare!"
Zhu Youxiao said with a cold face.
Many clan members have already arrived at Yimen where Du Yinxi is now.
These clan members have become noisy.
"We want to see His Majesty!"
"We can't just sit back and watch the Ming Dynasty die in the hands of you traitors and traitors. We must see Your Majesty today!"
"Get out of my way, you bitches, you have no right to stop us Huang nobles!"
Du Yinxi was also shouting loudly: "Are you trying to force the palace to rebel?! I have already said that we will inform His Majesty first!"
"Du, please stop talking nonsense here. I think you don't want us to see His Majesty because you want to put His Majesty under house arrest and rebel!"
Zhu Qiugui said something at this time.
"That's right! I think you are the ones who want to rebel, we just want to see His Majesty!"
Zhu Huakui echoed.
"Get ready to shoot!"
Du Yinxi shouted loudly.
The guards guarding both inside and outside the Yimen raised their guns and pointed them at the clan members outside.
And these clan members were not intimidated by this.
Zhu Qiugui said very proudly: "Do you think you have guns, but our people don't have guns?"
"Expose everything! Let these treacherous officials and thieves take a look and see if you are the ones who have nothing to gain!"
At this time, Zhu Huakui also shouted.
Suddenly, the soldiers who followed the clan members who broke in also took out their muskets and pointed them at the guards in front of them.
Zhu Cunshu and other clan members laughed proudly.
Because now there are significantly more soldiers on their side than the guards in front of them.
Seeing this, Du Yinxi immediately shouted loudly: "Come here, send a signal to the Imperial Guard Camp!"
"Du, you don't have to waste a lot of time! I'm afraid your guard camp has already passed Quezon City by now! Haha!"
Zhu Qiugui said with a smile at this time.
After hearing this, Du Yinxi pointed at these people: "You, what on earth have you done?!"
"Your Majesty has a decree! Let the sects and vassals go in, but you are not allowed to bring any retinue of soldiers."
Qiao Ke said something at this time.
Du Yinxi couldn't help but ask Qiao Keke: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Qiao Ke smiled and said, "I don't know. I just don't know. Are the clansmen willing to go in to meet the saint at this time?"
"Why don't you dare! We are here to see His Majesty."
Zhu Cunshu, who had been silent, said something first, and then ordered the soldiers behind him: "You guys wait outside for our orders!"
"yes!"
With that said, Zhu Cunshu walked in first.
Zhu Qiugui and other clan members also followed.
They were not worried about what Zhu Youxiao would do to them after entering. After all, there were so many of them. Unless the guard camp came back immediately, it would be impossible for the guards outside to block their soldiers and obey them. Zhu Youxiao ordered them to be killed.
Zhu Youxiao Zhu Youjian watched these clan members walking towards him.
Zhu Youxiao was not worried that these people would unite to kill him.
Because Zhu Youxiao believed that these people must cherish their lives more than himself.
What's more, there are actually many secret guards behind him.
But what Zhu Youxiao had to admit was that, as expected, not all of the Ming Dynasty clan disciples were reliable. Historically, it was no wonder that after the death of Chongzhen, none of them could support the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, not even Wanyan Gou.
And Zhu Youxiao also knew that the reason why the children of the clan in front of him were doing this now was because they wanted to maintain the reality of being a master, and wanted the imperial power to guarantee their privileges in law and finance.
It stands to reason that if a privileged class has always existed in a society, then the decline of this society is undoubtedly inevitable.
If the Ming Dynasty still allows these clan members to enjoy detached treatment, then the current Ming Dynasty will only be the same as the previous Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later, it will continue to decline until it perishes.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao knew that these people did not care whether the Ming Dynasty perished or not. They only cared about whether they lived comfortably or not.
"Why do you want to come to see me?"
Zhu Youxiao asked coldly at this time.
"Your Majesty, we went back to discuss it, and we believe that the Ming Dynasty has reached this stage and has to make further reforms! We know that Your Majesty, you have always been a person who is determined to innovate, so now we are here to give you advice."
Zhu Qiugui said something at this time.
Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Really? Tell me, what do you want to change?"
After saying that, Zhu Youxiao wrinkled his thick, pale eyebrows.
"Brother Royal!"
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but say something at this time.
But Zhu Youxiao stopped him with his hand.
Then, Zhu Huakui stood up first and said: "Your Majesty! Since this world belongs to our Zhu family, and His Majesty the Emperor relies on us to jointly protect this world, then we should let everyone discuss international matters. The central court cannot do whatever it wants. Wouldn’t this make the vassal states just like lackeys of the central court, while we people are still driven by the central court?”
"That's right! We have discussed that we should set up a clan government council and select several vassal princes to form the council together with His Majesty. His Majesty the Emperor should discuss international events with these vassal princes! We believe that King Xin His Highness is very suitable, and there is also the Second Prince!"
Zhu Zhizhi finally dared to stand up at this time and couldn't help but say something.
Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Youxiao with some trepidation: "Brother Imperial! I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"
"I know."
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, then looked at these people and said, "Keep talking!"
"For example, what crimes should be punished by the vassal kings, whether they should be killed or not, all have to be discussed by everyone. How can the emperor kill him whenever he wants? Wouldn't this encourage the king's violent nature? In addition, can the central court When intervening in each vassal state, the limits of intervention must be discussed by everyone, and cannot be left to the emperor in the central court to do whatever he wants!"
Zhu Huakui continued.
"And Li Chu!"
Zhu Qiugui said something first at this time, saying: "The establishment of a prince is a major matter related to the safety of the world. This is the foundation of the country! It should also be discussed by the princes and the emperor in the Zongren Mansion Council. Otherwise, how can the world's Zong Will the feudal lord submit to his rule?"
"That's right! With the establishment of the Clan Government Council, major matters should be discussed between the respected members of the clan and Your Majesty!"
Zhu Changbin also echoed and said: "Your Majesty, since you are willing to discuss the affairs of the court with the ministers who are from Xingming Society, you can naturally discuss it with the clan!"
"You! Are you trying to seize power?!"
Zhu Youjian couldn't help raising his hand and asking about these people, and yelled loudly.
"We are not trying to seize power, we are just advising that this is the general trend, and your Majesty should understand it! Besides, doesn't your Majesty think that this world should belong to the Zhu family, and if the Ming Dynasty wants to maintain long-term peace and stability, it must always rely on its own family Do you want support from others, but since you want the support of your own family, you should treat your own family well!"
Zhu Cunshu said something at this time, and added: "Instead of being treated like common people! Nobles should have the dignity of nobles, and they should not be allowed to do whatever the emperor wants."
Zhu Youxiao said at this time: "This world belongs to the people of the world. The "Outline of the Imperial Constitution" has already made this clear. You are here to say that the world belongs to the Zhu family without thinking about whether the people of the world agree or not."
"People from all over the world? Haha."
Zhu Cunshu smiled coldly and said: "Your Majesty, do you think that the people of the world still need to agree or disagree with the affairs of our Zhu family? Most of the world's armies, wealth, and land are in the hands of our Zhu family. How can the people of the world have the right to speak!" "
"So you are determined to seize my imperial power?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.
"The imperial power must always depend on us."
Zhu Cunshu said very calmly.
"It seems you are the mastermind."
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
Zhu Cunshu spread his hands and said with a disdainful smile: "No! This is what everyone wants, what most of the Zhu family members want."
Zhu Youxiao lowered his face and said, "But I refuse to accept your words!"
"Zhu Youxiao!"
As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Zhu Cunshu shouted on the spot and pointed at him.
Then, Zhu Cunshu said: "Are you still a member of my Zhu family?! You can kill the previous vassals as you want. Now you still want to do this. If you want to be an independent man, there is no need to be a member of your own family." On your body!"
At this point, Zhu Cunshu threatened: "If you persist in your stubbornness, you will have no choice but to abdicate!"
"That's right! If you are stubborn and refuse to be the emperor of the Zhu family, then you have no choice but to abdicate! Because this world can only be the world of the Zhu family, not you alone!"
Zhu Qiugui also said loudly.
"Your Majesty, just accept this reality. From the moment you supported my clan members to take power, you should be prepared to accept today's reality."
Zhu Cunshu said at this time.
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said to Zhu Youjian: "I told you that in my Ming Dynasty clan, there are not many people who can really be called giants. Now that I see it, it is indeed the case!"
Zhu Youjian was not as calm as Zhu Youxiao, but looked at Zhu Youxiao a little anxiously and said: "Brother Huang, not only are they not giants, but they are all wolf-hearted! If the Ming Dynasty is defeated in the future, we will definitely escape with them. It doesn’t matter!”
"well said!"
Zhu Youxiao said loudly, and then looked at these clan disciples quite seriously: "But they still think that they are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and think that they can keep the Ming Dynasty from falling! What a group of self-righteous guys!"
Zhu Youxiao said and replied to Zhu Cunshu and others: "I use the clan, but I never thought of letting you clans manage me, because you are not worthy and do not have the conditions!"
"How could it not be?"
Zhu Cunshu asked with a smile and said: "Nowadays, most of the world is controlled by my Zhu family; most of the feudal lords in the world are named Zhu; this is the condition!"
Zhu Cunshu said, "If you don't agree, you will have no choice but to abdicate!"
"Yes, then you will abdicate!"
Zhu Qiugui shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, please abdicate!"
Zhu Huakui echoed.
"abdicate!"
"abdicate!"
"abdicate!"
…
All the clan disciples present shouted accordingly.
Zhu Youjian was the most excited when he saw this scene. For a moment, he couldn't help but turned to look at Zhu Hehe: "Huier, what's going on? Where are the guards of our palace! Before, I didn't have time to ask you, are you with them? Damn it, otherwise my king’s bodyguards wouldn’t let them come with their soldiers so easily.”
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Brother Yu, why are you asking these questions at this time? You should have guessed it from the time he came in to report."
Zhu Youxiao said and looked at Zhu Heyu: "Emperor's nephew, do you also want the world's vassal kings and the emperor to discuss politics and decide world affairs together?"
At this time, Zhu Heyi cupped his hands and said, "Back to the emperor, uncle, I think what my uncles said does make some sense."
"There's some truth! There's some bullshit truth! How come I, Zhu Youjian, have a grandson like you!"
Zhu Youjian was so angry that he cursed Zhu Heyu.
For a moment, Zhu Youjian was out of breath due to excessive excitement. He couldn't help but hurriedly took out a nitroglycerin tablet and held it under his tongue. After calming down for a while, he found that he didn't have much nitroglycerin with him. He just used it. After that, it's gone.
Zhu Youxiao also discovered this situation at this time, and asked Zhu Heyu: "Do you still have the medicine your eldest father used in your house?"
Zhu Heyu hurriedly replied: "There are still some in Dian Pharmacy. My nephew will go get it now."
"Go quickly! It's important to save people!"
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly gave instructions.
"yes!"
Zhu Heyi hurriedly walked out, but was blocked by Zhu Cunshu outside: "Why are you in such a hurry? Shouldn't you wait for His Majesty to accept our advice first?"
"But my eldest father is in urgent need of medical treatment right now!"
Zhu Hecheng replied.
"The freedom of King Xin and the vassal government in the world! Which one is more important?!"
Zhu Cunshu shouted.
Zhu Youxiao also looked at Zhu Cunshu at this time and asked: "What are you doing? You might as well get the medicine!"
Zhu Cunshu said: "Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly! It is planned to establish a clan government council, so that the world's international affairs can be decided by vassal kings and discussed with the emperor! And the second prince will be appointed as the crown prince!"
"You think beautifully!"
Zhu Youjian said something at this time, and then his face became pale and colorless, and he kept breathing.
Zhu Youxiao supported Zhu Youjian who was about to fall to the ground, and then yelled at Zhu Heyu: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and get the medicine? Do you really want to watch your grandfather die?!"
Zhu Heyu hurried to go, but was stopped by several clan members.
Because Zhu Cunshu said at this time: "Don't let him go, this is an opportunity!"
With that said, Zhu Cunshu and others said: "Either abdicate or accept the throne, your Majesty, please make a decision quickly. We don't want King Xin to die like this!"
"you!"
Zhu Youxiao said: "You actually threaten me with human life!"
Zhu Youjian's breathing became heavier and heavier at this time, and he was speechless.
"Royal brother!"
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but call out at this time, and then shouted: "I beg you!"
"Begging us?"
Zhu Zhizhi asked in surprise, and then laughed: "His Majesty actually begged us one day, haha!"
"Yes, it's rare!"
Zhu Huakui also said with a smile.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao was speechless and said: "That's right, if I ask you, can't you save people first and then talk?!"
Zhu Cunshu said: "Since Your Majesty has reached the point where he has no choice but to leave us, shouldn't he realize that now the world has reached a time when vassals and emperors need to discuss politics together?"
Zhu Cunshu said: "Please accept our suggestions, your majesty, or announce your abdication, make the second prince emperor, and let him do this!"
"Brother Imperial, Brother Imperial, don't agree!"
Zhu Youjian held his breath and said something at this time.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside.
Qiao Ke hurriedly walked to Zhu Youxiao and said happily: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard Battalion is back!"
Du Yinxi also said: "It seems they are very fast!"
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao yelled: "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and let all the people who are hiding come out, drive these bastards away, and go get medicine for King Xin!"
"yes!"
Du Yinxi shouted: "Everyone, come out."
Suddenly, the doors of the surrounding rooms opened wide, and many guards came out, all holding guns and aiming at the feudal kings.
Zhu Youxiao also hurriedly said to Zhu Heyu: "Go get the medicine!"
Zhu Heyu and other clan members were in a daze because of the sudden loud noise. When they heard Zhu Youxiao's roar, they hurriedly ran to the Dian Pharmacy.
After a while, Zhu Heyu ran back and put the medicine under Zhu Youjian's tongue.
Zhu Youjian gradually regained his composure.
At this time, Zhu Hezhen also led the imperial guard battalion to surround the outside.
It turned out that Zhu Youxiao and Du Yinxi had long expected that some members of the clan might be dishonest. After all, the emperor had his own secret intelligence channels. Therefore, Du Yinxi informed Zhu and Zhen in advance that if someone reported to him, If a person has received a secret edict without following the secret procedures within the Imperial Guard Camp, and it is determined that the person is falsely conveying the secret edict, he will first respond falsely to lure the snake out of the hole.
What Zhu Hezhen didn't expect was that it would be his brother Zhu Hezhen who falsely conveyed the secret message to him.
But Zhu Hezhen did not choose to go against Zhu Youxiao's will because he knew that he must have the ethics of being an officer of the Imperial Guard Battalion, which is to unconditionally implement all orders.
"Surround this place!"
At this time, Zhu Hezhen was shouting orders outside, then walked in, cupped his hands to Zhu Youxiao and said: "My escort is late! Your Majesty, please punish me!"
