Our East Factory needs talents like you

Chapter 403 The end of the era

The main reason why Bao'er was able to complete the task of protecting the prince while soaking in the bath was that the prince returned in full force under the joint protection of all the experts from the East Factory in Nanjing and Luo Lang. left the capital.

The Wan family collapsed completely, but Wan Heng woke up at this time.However, Emperor Shenghua, who was able to get up from the sickbed to deal with the government, did not deal with Wan Heng, but instead cleaned up the side branch of the Wan family who had been doing evil for many years.The lightest punishment is exile to Hainan Island to plant coconuts, and the others are basically ransacking the family.There is no way, it is not because the emperor and ministers are cruel, but because the crimes of these offshoots of the ten thousand families are too appalling, even to the point of being too numerous to write down, and it is unacceptable for the Sanfa to not destroy them all.

The families of Wan Tong and Wan Shun, Wan Heng's two younger brothers, were not spared either. After all, attacking and killing the prince was tantamount to rebellion, and it was only natural to raid the family.Moreover, the imperial court was considered magnanimous in not holding accountable the officers and soldiers of the guard who followed Wantong to kill the prince.

As for the Wan Clan's old party members in the court hall, Emperor Shenghua didn't deal with any of them.The other ministers also understood that Emperor Shenghua knew that time was running out, and had already started to pave the way for the princes.As for those Wan Clan's old party members, they were nothing more than a enthronement gift left by Emperor Shenghua to his son.

At that time, these ministers who have been sanctified and placed on the chopping block can kill people and gain power when they go in, and let them repent in the name of being magnanimous and benevolent when they retreat.Of course, the emperor deliberately left Wan Heng to his son, but this Wan Heng was not a gift from Shenghua, but a trouble for him.

Now Wanheng has lost the emperor's heart and is useless, and after Wan Zhener's death, Shenghua has no extra affection for Wanjia.When your sister is here, I can protect your family's prosperity and wealth, but it's a pity that your Wan family doesn't leave a way out for yourself, and is focused on rushing to the road of death.But Shenghua didn't want to bear the reputation of being ungrateful and ungrateful, and let others poke his back after parting.Therefore, Wan Heng's trouble can only be left to his son to solve.

Regarding Bao'er, Emperor Shenghua also followed Gou'er—no, since the Great Reunification is established, he has to be called Prince Hongzhi anyway.

Emperor Shenghua also learned about his son and Baoer's past from Prince Hongzhi.But what makes Emperor Shenghua sigh is that even his crown prince told him that he was a father even when he was hacked by Bao'er to frame Concubine Wan Gui.However, there was never any mention of what kind of mission Bao'er was performing in Japan.

But after all, Shenghua has been the emperor for so many years, so he still has some understanding of what happened in the An Le Hall fire that year.Besides, it's not that he didn't know that after the An Le Hall fire, Wan Heng had sent Jin Yiwei to conduct a secret investigation across the country.So Shenghua can still guess something, for example, Concubine Ji Shu didn't die back then, but was escorted to Dongying by Dongchang sent people, and has been living there peacefully.

"There are some things I don't want to ask about, and I can't ask about them. However, Hongzhi, you can tell that I won't live long... Don't come with me in such a nonsensical manner, am I dying? Know better than me? So, after you ascend the throne, bring your mother back. But you have to remember, you must enshrine the queen as the empress dowager, and you have to make your biological mother the empress dowager. The family ugliness of the two of you will be disgraced in the history books..."

"As for Bao'er's award, leave it to Hongzhi to do it yourself. It doesn't matter how heavy or expensive the award is, but you must remember, Hongzhi, the more you award him, the farther he must be kept away from the court His kindness to you is too great, and his martial arts are too strong, leaving such a character that even the emperor can't control in the court, even if he is just an eunuch, it will threaten your own dominance!"

"Father, please rest assured!" The prince bowed and said: "I have talked with sister Bao'er...Lin Tianxing, and he has no interest in many complicated affairs in the court. So the father is afraid that he will exercise power. The minister doesn't seem to be worried."

"He's not interested now, but it doesn't mean he won't be interested in the future. You must be cautious. You must remember that the more you are an emperor, the more you must pay attention to the way of balance. Don't learn from your father a few years ago, yes Wan's party listened to it and believed it. If there were not so many people helping you back then, I am afraid that you and my father and son would not have the opportunity to talk freely like today."

The prince understood that Emperor Shenghua was not trying to stumbling between him and Bao'er, but was sincerely admonishing him on the way of being a king.And the prince himself also understands that once Bao'er, who has made great achievements in the sky, is allowed to enter the center of power, no one will be able to restrain him.At that time, a great eunuch who is rich enough to rival the country, with superb martial arts, power in the government and the public, but who has no kindness from the king will probably shake the foundation of Dameng's rule.

Of course, it was because Emperor Shenghua didn't understand the strength of Bao'er's Dongbao Fleet. Once he understood the horror of Dongbao's fleet, Emperor Shenghua would have thought of getting rid of Bao'er long ago.But the biggest problem is how to get rid of it. I didn't see that even such a big monster was left with only a skull!

"I also know that he has another identity in Dongpu. According to his own report, he seems to be the sword master of Dongpu."

"This minister also heard from his subordinates that he was indeed given the titles of No. [-] Swordsmanship in the World and Sword Master by Masakimachi of Dongpu."

"Then I will give him the title of Sword Master, which I personally conferred on him, to thank him for his contribution to solving the crisis in Ningbo and saving my life a while ago."

As a result, Dongying Sword Master Kujo Yui has another title bestowed by the Dameng Tian Family - Peerless Sword Master!
Similarly, after the imperial list was posted, people learned the story that the emperor Lao Tzu was rescued by a Dongying swordsman named Kujo Yui a few days ago.And Kujo Yui's various legendary experiences in Dongying, after the businessmen who traveled between Dongying and Damoe, have been thoroughly spread in Damoe, a land that never lacks gossip enthusiasm!
Don't worry about why a Japanese sword master suddenly appeared in the Forbidden City. Just because he protected the emperor and killed assassins, it is enough to shame the martial arts people in the Central Plains for several years.

Therefore, in the next few years, or even longer, there will inevitably be many aspiring young people from the Central Plains martial arts to take a boat to Feiyu City in the Kasuga Kingdom to challenge the Kujo Sword Master.Don't worry about whether these aspiring young people can meet Kujo Juggernaut, but the road of folk martial arts exchanges between China and Japan will definitely open a new chapter with the visit of these people!
What?Do not believe?

Just because 12 sects have decided to open dojos in Feiyu City, it is destined that Feiyu City will become a holy place for martial arts exchanges between China and Japan!In another ten or twenty years, maybe you will be able to see "Eastern Branches" similar to Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Huashan and other Central Plains martial arts schools in Feiyu City!
On February 22, the 22nd year of Shenghua, that is, 9 months after the prince worshiped his ancestors and returned to the capital, the 23-year-old Emperor Shenghua finally abandoned his world and left.

The old emperor passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

Shenghua emperor's trip also represents that a chaotic era that only belongs to Shenghua has finally passed.And the new era that represents Emperor Hongzhi is about to usher in his new chapter!
