"He thinks very well!"
"It's just a pity!" Cao Zhe left Jinling and stood in the clouds, looking up at the bright moon in the sky and the vastness of the earth. The determination in his heart never wavered.
Compassion does not control soldiers, and justice does not control wealth. Although Cao Zhe is not a general, he is already the helmsman of mankind in the future.
It was impossible for him to stop because of King Rui's sacrifice and determination.
King Rui used his life as a bet, not only to plead with Cao Zhe not to interfere, but also to use his last remaining light to temporarily delay the rise of smoke and dust in various circles until the Tianmen was unsealed.
On the third day after Cao Zhe met with King Rui and left, King Rui, the great pillar of the Ming Dynasty... passed away!
Although many people have been mentally prepared for this, even though many people have been looking forward to this moment.
As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.
This wise king, who dragged his sick body and carried the devastated Ming Dynasty all the way, finally passed away.
The people in Jinling City spontaneously hung white flags in front of their doors to express their attachment to this wise king.
The people who were far away from the capital had no feelings about this.
To them, the emperor is the emperor, and the prince is the prince. There is no difference whether it is a hundred years ago or a hundred years later.
However, for scholars, the death of King Rui is like the sky falling.
Pessimists directly believe that the world will be in chaos and the Ming Dynasty will perish.
Unless the Master who is hidden in the Mountain of Hundred Thousand Demons comes out to uphold the right path, but the Master is aloof... will he come out?
The clans and powerful men in each party's factions are ambitious to compete for the world. Those who take a look at the entire country are very happy.
King Rui passed away, but Master did not take any action.
This seems to indicate that the last direct connection between Master and Ming Dynasty has been severed.
Not only that, once King Rui left, Ming Dynasty had no backbone.
What could be accomplished by relying on that ridiculous emperor alone?
Thousands of miles of smoke and clouds, infinite mountains and rivers seem to be at your fingertips!
At the same time, letters one after another were sent to the hands of ambitious people from all sides as quickly as possible.
This is a letter written by King Rui himself during his lifetime.
The words in the letter are sincere and the emotions are sincere. He not only recalls the difficulties and prosperity of the past, but also looks forward to the beauty and peace of the future. Finally, he invites everyone to go to Jinling to discuss matters in his mourning hall. Even if he really wants to change the dynasty, he will The hope is to avoid war as much as possible by avoiding bloodshed.
King Rui even mentioned that if someone was unanimously recommended and had the ability to govern the country, then a handwritten letter left by him would be sent directly to the Emperor of Heaven, asking him to abdicate the throne.
After the emperor abdicates, the successor should be kind to the Zhu family and the abdicated emperor. Although they no longer guarantee their glory and wealth, they should also promise them food and clothing.
The words were full of pleading.
The final plea and helplessness of a dying person are vividly expressed.
Naturally, some people suspected that there was an ulterior motive in this letter.
But I have to say that the scented bait inside is really tempting!
No one dares to say that they are 100% sure about raising their troops.
But it would be great if we could really get the support of King Rui and the support of all parties to seize the world without bloodshed.
Shortcuts are poisonous, but shortcuts can never be rejected.
This is the bad nature of most people.
What's more, the Ming Emperor's abdication will make the transition of dynasties justifiable.
Even if the Heavenly Gate is reopened, with such a premise, the possibility of accountability from the Heavenly Court will be minimal.
more importantly!
Even though they knew that there might be fraud, it was still a conspiracy... The so-called heroes of all parties who had the heart of the world had to pick up some troops and rush to the capital.
Because they didn't dare to bet, even if... what if what was said in the letter was true?
As long as one person goes and the rest don't go, it's equivalent to actively missing or giving up this opportunity.
King Rui had calculated this accurately, so he wrote these letters.
The prerequisite for this invitation to be effective is that... he is really dead!
If he didn't die, even if he told everything he said, others would never believe it.
To put it more clearly.
Regardless of whether King Rui's statements are true or a 'trap' that lures heroes from all sides, as long as King Rui is really dead, the winner can use means to make King Rui's 'promise' come true. .
In this way, the replacement of the dynasty can be completed at a relatively small cost and the country can be established.
On the seventh day after the death of King Rui, almost all those who were aiming for catastrophe in the world gathered in Jinling.
On the same day, we went to King Rui Touqi to pay homage to him.
After everyone arrived, everyone went from a friendly discussion to a fierce dispute.
The mourning hall that should have been filled with mourning turned into a meeting hall filled with tense situations.
King Rui had been ill for many years, never married, and had no descendants.
The people in charge of Zhang Luo Lingtang are also some old people from Prince Rui's Mansion.
Facing the powerful forces coming from all sides, these old people in Prince Rui's Mansion looked numb, with only sad eyes.
He always knelt in the mourning hall and kept burning paper money.
No one noticed at all that there was a special piece of talisman paper mixed with the paper money and thrown into the brazier.
The next moment, a dazzling light burst out from King Rui's coffin.
The gorgeous and destructive explosion directly enveloped the entire mourning hall.
The powerful men from all sides who came were fully prepared and had multiple layers of protection on their bodies.
However, in this violent energy explosion, all protections seemed fragile and powerless.
The bone beads seized from the body of the Demon Queen were not put back into the imperial mausoleum by Prince Rui, but were instead embedded in the arrowheads.
With the explosion of powerful energy, a large number of feather arrows flew in from all directions, shooting into a hornet's nest those heroes who were not killed by the explosion and whose bodies shone with various magical lights.
However, in a short while, all the powerful people in the world who had the ability and strength to rebel were almost wiped out.
Although their respective family backgrounds are still there, as long as they die, the struggle for power within the family will directly collapse the originally good situation.
Even if some family power can be smoothly transferred to the next generation, these newcomers are not as experienced and skilled as the original ones. By the time they become proficient, they have already missed the best opportunity.
At the same time that the trap was launched in the capital, the Jin Yiwei who directly obeyed the orders of the Ming Dynasty royal family gathered in large numbers at the lairs of several powerful men who had not rushed to Jinling. Directly under the leadership of some powerful warriors, they entered the lairs of the powerful men.
What King Rui has always been worried about is that the power of all parties will explode at the same time, and then each will occupy a place and become bigger like a snowball.
The imperial court was unable to take care of all parties, and ended up being dragged to death in all directions.
Now he gambled his own death and killed more than 80% of the powerful men in one fell swoop.
For the remaining 20%, heavy troops were sent to defeat them.
Just like boiling water to stop it from boiling, it temporarily stopped the smoke and dust from all directions that were about to riot, and forced the Ming Dynasty to breathe again.
This move will determine the outcome of the battle.
It also shattered the reputation of benevolence that King Rui had accumulated over decades.
After all, no matter how obvious the opposition of those local powerful people is, they have not started to do it yet.
This move by King Rui can be regarded as execution without instruction.
And the method is too cruel, even if the person is dead, he will inevitably be spat on the grave.
From being respected by everyone to being reviled by almost everyone, the difference is just a day!
The land of Two Lakes was already deep in the mountains. Zhang Sheng, who had expanded his original village dozens to hundreds of times, suddenly raised his head.
I feel that the refining breath in my body has undergone some indescribable changes.
In the distance, the rice fields swaying left and right along with the wind and waves shone with golden waves in the sunlight.
"It's a good time of year again!" Zhang Sheng said with satisfaction.
In the distance, the dragon girl was coming gracefully carrying a kettle.
In the high altitude, Cao Zhe stopped his hand. Seven pills of Immortal Qi in his body had been lost, returning to the untidy number of three hundred and five pills.
