In the imperial study, Yan Chenhao stood at the bottom and presented a memorial.
Zhu Changxun waved his hand, and a eunuch took it over. There was impatience in his eyes, and there was also a slight fear of facing it.
"Just read it out."
he said.
So the eunuch opened the memorial and read:
"It has been five years since His Majesty's troops marched on the grassland in the ninth year of Wuxing."
…
"Using more weapons is not a blessing to the country."
…
"The ancient Han Dynasty drove the Xiongnu to the north, conquered the Baiyue to the south, conquered Korea to the east, and conquered the Western Regions to the west. Although they had outstanding military achievements, they resorted to military violence, which led to wars. Sui Yang's three expeditions to Goguryeo also brought disaster to Jiangdu."
"The great mountains and rivers were turned into thousands of miles of wilderness, and the peaceful people suffered from labor and taxes."
"Even if we open up thousands of miles of territory, what's the point of praise?"
"How is your Majesty's actions different from those of the other two? The world is now devastated."
"Those who are motivated by martial arts are those who are unmotivated!"
As the eunuch recited, Zhu Changxun's body trembled with anger.
"How dare you arrange my story like this! So brave, so brave! Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!"
He roared loudly, and with a strong effort of his arm, he swept all the objects off the desk. The precious incense and fine pen and ink fell heavily to the ground, showing the emperor's anger.
It seemed that the fears and worries in his heart were revealed, and he became more and more irritable at this time.
"Come here! Throw this rebellious person into prison!"
He yelled angrily, and guards immediately broke in and detained Yan Chenhao.
This time, he was truly murderous.
Zhu Changxun was not a fool. He knew Yan Chenhao's ability to govern the world, and the two had a master-disciple relationship. Before that, although the two had quarreled constantly and the emperor kept trying to seize power, Zhu Changxun never thought of killing him. .
What he wants more is to take the power back into his own hands and let Yan Chenhao participate in the government affairs by making suggestions as a secretary, instead of even disobeying him like he is now, so although the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, It's not good, but it didn't reach the level of fighting or killing.
But this time, the emperor was really murderous. Yan Chenhao's words were so serious that they had already deeply hurt the emperor's pride. He smashed the shadow of the prosperous age to pieces, and displayed the world that was already full of blood and fire naked in front of the emperor.
Of course he didn't want to accept it.
Emperor Wuxing was completely angered.
And Yan Chenhao is now in the imperial palace. This is Zhu Changxun's territory, and it is also a place where emperors often defeated powerful officials in history. Here, he is the master.
The chief assistant was immediately put into prison uniform and thrown into prison.
But after a while, when it was time to deal with him, Zhu Changxun hesitated again.
Although the two had many conflicts over the years, he was also the emperor's former teacher after all. He still had the last trace of emotion in his heart, so he still couldn't make a move.
At this time, Wang Tiqian came to him.
After a long wait, the emperor has become more and more trusting in him. He only needs one final kick to kick Yan Chenhao down, and he will be able to restore the power of the former Chief of Ceremonies. How can he fail now?
He provoked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, we cannot wait any longer."
"Now that you've done it, you must do it. If you beat the snake, it will cause endless harm. Once he gets out of prison, how can he know that he won't be rebellious because of it? Now this person is no longer available."
"You need to know that there are still many 'strict party's in the DPRK and China..."
"And he is no longer your teacher."
"Your Majesty... this slave girl, every time I see your will being rejected, I feel so angry for you that my heart is cut like a knife!"
Hearing this, Zhu Changxun's heart, which had already calmed down for a while, suddenly lurched.
He was indeed fed up with the endless quarrels.
Just get rid of him and the world will be brighter from now on.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were many available people.
…
In the prison, the eunuch sent by Zhu Changxun was holding a plate with a white porcelain wine pot and a small wine glass on it.
The jailer opened the prison door, and the eunuch handed over the object in his hand.
"This is your Majesty's wish." He whispered in a high-pitched voice:
"Please...determine yourself."
Yan Chenhao took it silently, without the fear and trembling that the jailer was used to seeing in his eyes.
He is not afraid of death.
I only hope that the last roar I completed with my life can make my disciples repent.
To use life as advice is to give advice to death.
He tore off his prison uniform, bit his fingers, and laboriously wrote names and sentences on them.
In the case of martial arts, there are Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou; in Wen, there are Ni Yuanlu and Zuo Guangdou.
There are also many shortcomings faced by Ming Dynasty today, as well as the methods he came up with to govern them.
Yan Chenhao handed over the blood book, and the eunuch subconsciously took it.
"Please tell your Majesty that these are all people who can be of great use; these are all methods of governing the world that I have summarized."
"I have never had any different intentions."
He suddenly loudly said:
"I hope your majesty can follow the example of Han Wu, repent of his actions, and implement benevolent policies. If so, the world will be restored to peace!"
Under the moonlight, he calmly drank the wine in the flask.
…
The eunuch returned to the palace with his blood letter. He walked towards the imperial study room to hand over to the emperor the last handwriting left by this once powerful man.
However, before he reached the Imperial Study Room, he bumped into Wang Tiqian on the way. He seemed to be waiting here specially.
The eunuch did not go alone. He was surrounded by Dongchang's fans and jailers. Wang Tigan already knew that Yan Chenhao left such a thing.
His eyes focused on the blood-stained cloth held by the eunuch.
A sneer flashed across his face, and he reached out to pull it.
Without moving, the eunuch used his actions to express his silent resistance to the eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony.
Although he is the emperor and a member of Wang Tigan, he does not want Yan Chenhao's last wish to fail at this time.
"You little monkey, how dare you rebel against my order, grandpa?" Wang Tigan's eyes suddenly turned fierce. He stared straight at the eunuch's face, as if he wanted to dig out the eyes that dared to look directly at him:
"Okay, today you have to meet Long Live. Grandpa can do nothing to you, but after today, you will be more careful. No one in such a large palace will care about one more person or one less person."
The few warrior eunuchs behind them put their hands on the handles of the knives at their waists, with ferocious smiles on their faces.
The eunuch finally lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into those eyes full of malice.
Wang Tiqian smiled with satisfaction. He snatched the blood book from the eunuch's hand. This time he was very easy. He let go of his hands and let the blood book slide across his fingertips, leaving blood spots.
The blood book was torn, then turned into ashes and dissipated in the flames.
