The deeper Jiang Fan's cultivation is, the stronger the power he can exert. Although he is not as good as the old Tianshi from Longhu Mountain, he can kill King Xin.
At that time, Zhang Fei ate bean sprouts, which was a piece of cake.
I didn't take action before, I just didn't want to use force to solve the problem.
But now Zhu Youxiao obviously wants to favor his younger brother Zhu Youjian, and Jiang Fan can't bear it.
What about the emperor's younger brother?
If I offend you, Mr. Jiang, I will kill him without fail.
Even Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao really made Jiang Fan unhappy, and he always used a white knife to go in and a red knife to go out.
It has to be said that as his strength continues to improve, Jiang Fan's state of mind is also changing, and he increasingly likes to act casually.
"Boom~"
With the explosion of thunder, King Xin Zhu Youjian was slashed until his whole body was blackened and smoking. He fell straight to the ground, too dead to die.
The sudden scene shocked everyone present.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Zhu Youjian being struck to death by lightning, the saddest person was not Zhu Youxiao, his brother, but Wang Chengen.
People who didn’t know, thought it was his son who died!
Well……
Is this possible?
Thinking of all the ridiculous things in the palace where dragons were borrowed and civet cats were exchanged for princes, Jiang Fan's imagination opened up and he came up with a drama about palace battles.
"Is this God's will?"
Zhu Youxiao did not blame Jiang Fan for Zhu Youjian's death. After all, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the power of thunder cannot be controlled by mortals.
What's more, even if Zhu Youxiao is suspicious, Jiang Fan secretly takes action to give him face.
We really broke up.
The worst case scenario is that Jiang Fan assassinates Zhu Youxiao, then uses the Gaiba egg to transform into Zhu Youxiao to lead the Ming Dynasty, and then attacks Hou Jin to complete the mission.
Zhu Youjian's death was beyond Zhu Youxiao's expectation. Although he hated iron, he was his brother, his beloved relatives and friends!
Now that life and death are parting, I can't help but feel sad.
Jiang Fan didn't say much and escorted the prisoner away as usual.
Wei Zhongxian looked at the sky and seemed a little guilty. He had done a lot of bad things on weekdays. He was really afraid that God would open his eyes and take him away all together!
Changes in the capital come and go as quickly as they come.
After a night of wind and rain, the streets of the capital were much deserted. Even if there were occasional pedestrians taking to the streets, they were all in a hurry and did not dare to stay too long on the streets.
Afraid of getting into trouble!
Donglin was completely screwed this time. Most of the Donglin officials were either sent to imperial prison or to heavenly prison. They were really imprisonable.
There were only two or three big cats and kittens left, who were in fear all day long and did not dare to make trouble.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Many officials in the DPRK were arrested and tried, and accordingly many vacancies appeared, which were naturally filled by people below.
These new officials were not skilled in their profession, and in a short period of time, the Ming Dynasty's government would inevitably experience a period of chaos.
But in the long run, it is a good thing for Ming Dynasty and is conducive to the stability of the country.
As the saying goes, if there is no destruction, no establishment, those officials who are incompetent and greedy should be dealt with properly.
Newly appointed officials may gradually become corrupt in the future, but at least they will be honest for a while.
As long as supervision is in place and the performance and supervision system provided by Jiang Fan is adopted, the problem of corruption can at least be solved to the greatest extent possible.
Gu Ji
As for eradicating corruption, it is absolutely impossible because people have selfish motives.
Selfishness is one of human nature. It is a daydream to achieve a world without greed.
Both Zhu Youxiao and Jiang Fan knew the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as it is not excessive and they can do practical things and do good deeds, they will turn a blind eye.
Another thing worth mentioning is that.
After King Xin Zhu Youjian died, both Wang Chengen and Princess Zhou chose to hang themselves that night.
It can be regarded as life and death.
A eunuch, a woman is loyal and has no fear of death.
On the contrary, the bosses of the Donglin Party who had instigated Wang to regicide and usurp the throne were all acting like girls, crying heartily, shouting that they had been wronged, shirking each other's responsibilities, and showing their ugliness.
Wei Zhongxian and Dong Lin have been fighting for many years, and he naturally hates these people deeply. If he gets the opportunity, he will not go to death.
In fact, some of these officials were deceived by others, and they only raised troops to break into the palace when their heads became hot.
But who can blame this?
The only thing to blame is that they are stupid and blindly follow blind faith, which is why they have become prisoners.
The officialdom is like this. One wrong step can lead to being shattered to pieces. Especially the battle for imperial power is something that not everyone can play with.
After trial, senior ministers Hong Chengchou, Zhou Yanru, Gu Bingqian and Ye Xiang headed by Dong Lin were all sentenced to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate in public.
Their clan relatives were also implicated, and most of them were sent to the frontiers as hard labor or sent to the army to guard the borders, while some spent the rest of their lives in prison.
Most of these people will die in prison.
Some of the remaining people had their homes confiscated and were exiled, or worked as slaves to gain prosperity.
There are only a handful of people who can come out after entering Dongchang Heavenly Prison and Jinyiwei Prison.
Even so, they will be under surveillance for a long time in the future, and once they make any extraordinary move, new and old scores will be settled together.
When the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, the wealthy businessmen who colluded with Donglin were also affected.
Some heard the news, dismissed their servants, and fled outside the customs.
Some organized manpower, spread rumors, and resisted stubbornly.
Houjin, who was outside the customs, had been eyeing the Ming Dynasty and sent many spies. In addition to the news sent back by the traitors, after learning about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, he began to commotion.
In fact, as early as the news that Emperor Tianqi was seriously ill came out, Huang Taiji of Hou Jin Dynasty began to make plans.
Conquering the rich lands of the Central Plains has been Huang Taiji's long-cherished wish for many years. Now that he saw the opportunity, he naturally wanted to take a bite.
Although Hou Jin's current military strength is still unable to defeat the Liaodong cavalry and Guanning cavalry, if the Ming Dynasty is in civil strife and the traitors who have taken refuge cooperate with each other, it may not be impossible.
Even if you can't invade the Central Plains, it's not bad to loot and hunt grass and valleys along the way to have a good year.
In addition, the internal conflicts between himself and Dorgon can be alleviated through external war.
Killing multiple birds with one stone, Huang Taiji will naturally not give up the opportunity to kill multiple birds with one stone.
As Huang Taiji issued orders one after another, the Hou Jin army quickly gathered and headed towards Liaodong.
Hou Jin's Eight Banners Army did not bring much supplies and relied entirely on looting along the way, so they marched very fast.
Naturally, the Liaodong Army guarding the border also received the news and actively prepared for war.
Compared with the cunning officials in the court, these soldiers guarding the border are the real backbone of the Ming Dynasty.
The loess is stained with passion, and he will guard the border without any regrets.
Sun Chengzong, Mao Wenlong and other generals were actively preparing for war.
Thanks to Jiang Fan's seizure of the mansions of officials and wealthy businessmen, the Ming Dynasty's treasury became fatter.
Zhu Youxiao sent part of the money as military pay to Liaodong to reward the three armies.
Without the Donglin Party to obstruct, argue, and line their own pockets, the court's policies and military pay were smoother than ever before. In addition, it was an extraordinary period, and no one dared to touch military pay.
The Liaodong frontier troops were rewarded by the imperial court and their morale was high. When they heard the news of Hou Jin's invasion, they all geared up and made up their minds to cripple the ambitious Hou Jin.
