Acting for the gods

Chapter 134
How can the power of thunder be taken lightly.

The deeper Jiang Fan's cultivation base is, the stronger the power he can exert. Although he is not as good as the old master of Longhu Mountain, he will kill Xin Wang to death.

At that time, Zhang Fei ate bean sprouts, which was a piece of cake.

I didn't take action before, but I didn't want to use force to solve the problem.

But now Zhu Youxiao obviously wants to favor Zhu Youjian's younger brother, Jiang Fan can't bear it.

What about the emperor's younger brother?
If you mess with Uncle Jiang, you can kill him.

Even Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of Tianqi, really made Jiang Fan unhappy, as white knives go in and red knives 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 is more and more fond of doing things with his own will.

"Boom~"

Accompanied by the thunder, Zhu Youjian, the king of Xin, was hacked until his whole body was scorched and smoked, and he fell straight on the ground, dying beyond death.

The sudden scene shocked everyone present.

"My lord!"

Seeing Zhu Youjian being struck to death by lightning, the saddest thing was not Zhu Youxiao's brother, but Wang Chengen.

Those who didn't know thought it was his son who died!

Uh……

Will there be this possibility?

Thinking of all the absurd things in the court where the prince was exchanged with dragon species and civet cats, Jiang Fan's brain was wide open, and he came up with a series of palace fighting dramas.

"Is this God's will?"

Zhu Youxiao did not suspect Zhu Youjian's death on Jiang Fan's head. After all, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the power of thunder cannot be controlled by ordinary people.

What's more, even if Zhu Youxiao doubted it, Jiang Fan's secret action was to save him face.

Really broke up.

At worst, Jiang Fan assassinates Zhu Youxiao, and then uses the ever-changing gaiba egg to transform into Zhu Youxiao's appearance to lead Daming, and after the attack, Jin completes the task.

Zhu Youjian's death was beyond Zhu Youxiao's expectation. Although he hated iron and steel, but this was his brother, his dear relatives and friends!
Now that life is parting from death, I can't help but feel sad.

Jiang Fan didn't say much, and led the prisoner away as usual.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the sky, he seemed a little guilty, he did a lot of bad things on weekdays, I was afraid that God would open his eyes and take him in together!

Changes in the capital come and go quickly.

After a night of wind and rain, the streets in the capital are much deserted. Even if there are occasional pedestrians on the streets, they are in a hurry and dare not stay too much on the streets.

For fear of getting into trouble!
This time, Donglin was completely defeated. Most of the officials of Donglin were either sent to imperial prison or sky prison.

There were two or three big cats and kittens left. They were in a state of panic all day long, and they didn't dare to make trouble.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Many officials in the DPRK and China were arrested and interrogated, correspondingly there were many vacancies, which were naturally filled by the people below.

These new officials are not proficient in business. In a short period of time, there will inevitably be a period of chaos in the Ming government.

But in the long run, it is a good thing for Daming and conducive to national stability.

As the saying goes, what can't be broken can't be built. For those officials who are incompetent and greedy, they should be rectified.

The newly appointed officials may gradually become corrupt in the future, but at least they will be honest for a while.

As long as the supervision is in place and the performance and supervision system provided by Jiang Fan is adopted, at least the problem of corruption can be solved to the greatest extent.

As for eradicating corruption, it is absolutely impossible, because human beings have selfish motives.

Selfishness is one of the natures of human beings, and it is a daydream to want to make the world free from greed.

Zhu Youxiao and Jiang Fan both know the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as it is not too much and can do practical and good deeds, they will turn a blind eye.

Also worth mentioning.

After the letter king 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, without fear of death.

On the contrary, those Donglin party elders who had instigated Xinwang to kill the king and usurp the throne before acted like daughters, crying heartbreakingly, shouting for injustice, shirking each other's responsibilities, showing their ugliness.

Wei Zhongxian and Donglin have been fighting for many years, so he naturally hated these people to the bone, and there is no reason not to deal with them to the death when they seize the opportunity.

In fact, among these officials, some of them were fooled by others, and only when their heads got hot would they raise troops to break into the palace.

But who can blame this?
They can only be blamed for their stupidity, blind obedience and blind faith, and they will be reduced to prisoners.

This is the case in officialdom, if one wrong step, one's body will be smashed to pieces, especially the struggle for imperial power, not everyone can play with it.

Hong Chengchou, Zhou Yanru, Gu Bingqian, and Ye Xiang, headed by Donglin, were all beheaded at the Meridian Gate after the trial.

Their clan relatives were also implicated, most of them were sent to the frontier as hard labor or sent to the frontier, and some of them spent the rest of their lives in prison.

Most of these people will die in prison.

Some of the remaining people were exiled by ransacking their homes, or became slaves for prosperity.

There are only a handful of people who can still come out of Dongchang Sky Prison and Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.

Even so, they will be watched for a long time in the future, and once they do something out of the ordinary, they will settle new and old scores together.

When the Ming court was in turmoil, the rich businessmen who colluded with Donglin were also affected.

Some heard the news, dismissed their servants, and fled outside the pass.

Some organized manpower, spread rumors, and stubbornly resisted.

Houjin outside the customs has been eyeing Daming, dispatched many spies, and with the news from the traitors, after learning about Daming's current situation, he began to stir up trouble.

In fact, as soon as the news of Emperor Tianqi's serious illness came out, Hou Jin's Huang Taiji began to move around.

It has been Huang Taiji's long-cherished wish for many years to conquer the fertile lands and mountains of the Central Plains. Now that he sees an opportunity, he naturally wants to take a bite.

Although Houjin's current military strength cannot beat the Liaodong iron cavalry and Guanning iron cavalry, if there is civil strife in Ming Dynasty, and those traitors who have taken refuge will cooperate internally and externally, things may not be impossible.

Even if you can't break into the Central Plains, looting along the way and beating Caogu, it's not bad to have a good year.

In addition, the internal conflict between himself and Dorgon can be alleviated through foreign wars.

One stone kills multiple birds, Huang Taiji naturally would not give up such an opportunity to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Following the orders issued by Huang Taiji, the Houjin army quickly assembled and marched towards Liaodong.

Houjin's Eight Banners Army did not bring much supplies and relied on looting along the way, so the marching speed was extremely fast.

The Liaodong Army guarding the border naturally also received the news and actively prepared for the battle.

Compared with the intriguing officials in the imperial court, these soldiers guarding the border are the real backbone of the Ming Dynasty.

A cavity of blood stained the loess, a hundred deaths without regret guarding the border.

Sun Chengzong, Mao Wenlong and other generals are actively preparing for the battle.

Thanks to Jiang Fan's seizure of the residences of officials and wealthy businessmen, the Ming treasury has become richer.

Zhu Youxiao sent part of the money as military pay to Liaodong to reward the three armies.

Without the Donglin Party's obstruction, arguing, and private pockets, the imperial court's policies and military pay were smoother than ever. In addition, it was an extraordinary period, and no one dared to use the military pay.

The Liaodong frontier army was rewarded by the imperial court, and their morale was high. When they heard the news of Houjin's invasion, they all geared up and made up their minds to defeat the wolfish and ambitious Houjin.
