Acting for the gods

Chapter 103 Apocalyptic Big Bang

With your own intervention, the plot may change.

In order to avoid accidents, Jiang Fan immediately sent someone to secretly watch Guo Zhen, Ling Yunkai and Mr. Beizhai.

Jin Yiwei has also made some adjustments.

The Treasure Ship case involves a lot of things. Both Guo Zhen and Beizhai are witnesses, especially Beizhai, who can directly lock Xinwang.

Lu Wenzhao will definitely find a way to kill people and silence them.

As for Ling Yunkai, it was the knife Lu Wenzhao used to deal with Beizhai.

After all, Beizhai is the confidante of King Xin. If Lu Wenzhao lets his cronies do something, he will definitely offend King Xin. It is most appropriate to let an eunuch do it.

Afterwards, by silencing Ling Yunkai, Lu Wenzhao can not only get out of the matter, but also gain a wave of Xin Wang's favor.

I have to say that Lu Wenzhao is very shrewd and capable, and he is also ruthless and decisive in doing things. He is a person who does great things.

It's a pity that he miscalculated people's hearts. When he regarded others as pawns, he never thought that he was just a pawn in Xinwang's hands that could be discarded at will.

From the very beginning, Lu Wenzhao was doomed to tragedy.

No matter whether King Xin succeeded or failed, Lu Wenzhao could not escape death.

Because he knows too much!
The trust king Zhu Youjian is extremely suspicious, and it is absolutely impossible for someone who knows that he wants to kill his brother to succeed him to exist in the world.

Putting down the "Supervisory Minutes of the Treasure Ship" and having nothing to do, Jiang Fan looked at the "Zhu Zhong Zhi" brought by Shen Lian.

"Zhuo Zhong Zhi" has 24 volumes, which describe in detail the court deeds from the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty to the seventh year of Tianqi.

These include the daily life of the emperor, concubines and servants, the rules of the palace, the duties of the ministers, diet, clothing and so on.

What Shen Lian brought was only one volume.

However, what caught Jiang Fan's attention was the shocking incident recorded above - "Wang Gong's Factory Explosion"!
The sudden change suddenly fell to the capital.

So far, we have talked about the apocalypse, the strange Wang Gongchang.

In the sixth year of the apocalypse, the sixth day of May, Si time.

A loud bang shook the universe and plunged the entire capital into catastrophic chaos.

After investigation, it was found that the explosion originated near the warehouse of Wang Gong Gunpowder Factory in the southwest area of ​​the capital.

The diameter of the explosion was about 750 meters, and the area reached three square kilometers. Tens of thousands of houses and more than 2 people were reduced to bones.

The corpses of the victims were piled on top of each other, and the shattered limbs rained down from the sky. The dazzling blood and stench made it seem like hell had descended on the world.

This incident had a huge and far-reaching impact on the capital and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

There are many doubts in it.

There are also many rumors of fantasy colors among the people.

It was rumored that on the day of the explosion, the sky in the capital was bright and clear. Suddenly, there was a loud noise at the Wanggong Factory located in the southwest corner of the capital.

Huge mushrooms rise, followed by heaven and earth shattering.

In an instant, it was as dark as night, and thousands of rooms were at peace!

From Fuchengmen in the east to Xingbu Street in the west, it is three or four miles long, and the houses, residents, and livestock in the surrounding thirteen miles are all ashes.

What's even more strange is that the dead were all naked.

Many people disappeared en masse.

Among the dead, there were thousands of people with names and thousands of people whose names were unknown, and more than 2000 craftsmen who were working in the palace fell from a height due to the huge earthquake, and more than [-] people died.

From time to time along Chang'an Avenue, there are broken limbs and broken arms, accompanied by stones, wood, and poultry falling from the sky. The scene is horrible!
Among the dead, many officials were also included.

Yu Shi He Qianshu and Pan Yunyi were shaken to death in Qianqing Palace, and all the eunuchs who served Emperor Tianqi for breakfast were killed, and no one survived.

Although Zhu Youxiao, Emperor of Apocalypse, survived the disaster, the crown prince Zhu Cijiong, who was not yet one year old, was frightened to death in the explosion...

In the capital, many people still have lingering fears when they talk about the explosion at Wang Gong Factory.

After reading the "Big Bang at Wang Gong Factory" recorded in Zhuo Zhong Zhi.

On a whim, Jiang Fan entered the interior, intending to see if he could solve this unsolved mystery.

【I want to know the truth about the apocalypse big bang. 】

With a thought, a golden fireball with a diameter of two meters appeared in front of Jiang Fan's eyes, which immediately made Jiang Fan feel a burning sensation.

slip away!

Unexpectedly, the cause and effect involved in the apocalypse explosion is so great, Jiang Fan immediately gave up the idea of ​​exploring the answer and exited the interior scene.

Judging from the situation just now, if he wanted to know the answer through the inside scene, he would have to lose at least ten years of his life.

"It's not worth it, but it's a good thing to slip fast!"

Exiting the interior scene, Jiang Fan put away "Zhuo Zhong Zhi" and drank a cup of tea to calm down.

At this moment, several groups of people came to deliver invitations, wanting to invite Jiang Fan to the banquet.

Because of Zhu Youxiao's attention, Jiang Fan became an upstart in the DPRK and China, and naturally became the target of many officials.

Regardless of whether these officials are sincere or false, entertainment is essential.

According to the rules, after Jiang Fan was promoted, he had to visit his boss, which was equivalent to paying a visit to the pier, and then hosted a banquet for some close people.

There are many unspoken rules in the officialdom, and Jiang Fan is very annoyed by them. If it is not for completing the main task, he really wants these people to go as far as they can.

Just when Jiang Fan was thinking about whose banquet he should go to.

in the palace.

Zhu Youjiao is listening to Wei Zhongxian's investigation report on Jiang Fan.

"So, there is no problem with Jiang Fan's identity."

After hearing Wei Zhongxian's information, Zhu Youxiao knew that Jiang Fan was not a member of the Donglin Party, and felt that Jiang Fan could be reused.

Then Zhu Youxiao's face sank, and he asked, "How is the investigation of the sinking of the treasure ship in the lake?"

At this time, Zhu Youxiao looked quite majestic, and Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground directly: "Report to Your Majesty, the servant has not found any useful clues yet."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said coldly, "Then do you think the shipwreck was accidental, or was it intentional?"

Wei Zhongxian thought about it for a while, and replied: "I dare not speak nonsense."

"Keep an eye on the Donglin Party, these people have become more and more restless recently." Zhu Youxiao had a murderous look in his eyes.

Since he took the throne, he has been in distress not once or twice.

The last time I was almost killed was when the Wang Gong factory exploded.

Although he survived by luck, the prince did not survive, and every time he thinks about it, his heart hurts like a knife.

This time he traveled to Xiyuan on a whim, and almost drowned. How can there be so many coincidences in the world, and he really thought that the emperor would not kill people.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao is not stupid, but quite shrewd. Jiang Fan and many others have fallen into preconceived notions from the very beginning, thinking that Zhu Youxiao is a fool who is ignorant and only loves carpentry.

Actually it is not.

Zhu Youxiao is far above Zhu Youjian in terms of strategy, emperor's art and city government.

Usually it seems that he only loves carpentry and ignores the government. Letting Wei Zhongxian control the court is all an illusion.

Without Zhu Youxiao's support, how could Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch, overwhelm the officials and make the Donglin Party lose its head?
At the beginning, Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne at a young age, and the power in the court was controlled by the Donglin Party, the Chu Party and other parties. Emperor Tianqi was not allowed to take charge because of his young age.

Zhu Youxiao's decision to benefit the country was also rejected by these ministers who relied on the old to sell the old.

Faced with such a situation, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to push Wei Zhongxian to the front and cultivate eunuchs to fight against him.

Now the Chu Party has completely disappeared.

The Donglin Party was suppressed.

It can be said that the development of the eunuch party to such a degree was all secretly instructed by Zhu Youxiao and facilitated by himself.

What the emperor pays attention to is a way of balance.

But now the eunuch party is indeed a bit too big to lose. Even Jinyiwei, which is directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, is attached to Dongchang. That's why Zhu Youxiao wants to cultivate a cronies to check and balance Dongchang and Xichang.

This has nothing to do with whether you trust Wei Zhongxian or not, but the routine operation of an emperor.

On the other hand, after Zhu Youjian took office, he vigorously eradicated the Eunuch Party and killed hundreds of officials, making the Donglin Party the dominant family in the imperial court.

Since its establishment, the team of Donglin Party has only done one thing, and that is non-stop internal fighting.

What to do, No. 1 internal fight, he is simply a flat-headed brother in the officialdom, fighting with eunuchs, ministers of other factions, and the emperor.

Experts in internal fighting, external fighting for nothing!
In fact, when the Donglin Party was first established, its intentions were good.

At that time, the officials of Donglin were indeed upright, they did not flatter or corrupt, and most of them were very literati, so they could be regarded as loyal and virtuous.

But as time went by, Donglin officials gradually became corrupt.

The dragon slaying boy finally turned into a dragon!
