Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 4228 4230【Plan to usurp the throne】

Xiang Nan then took eight Tiangang and twelve Disha to the south to eliminate the eunuchs guarding Dongchang.

However, after leaving the capital, he cast the soul-stealing curse and controlled all eight Tiangang and twelve Earthly Demons.

And when they asked them, they found out that they had secretly received orders from the gods and had the responsibility to secretly monitor the four spies.

Once you notice that they have thoughts against God, you must get rid of them immediately.

"As expected." Xiang Nan nodded, and then put a mark on the leader Tiangang's hand and gave him a two-way mirror so that he could keep in touch with him anytime and anywhere.

Then, Xiang Nan left the team and asked them to go south to eliminate the eunuchs guarding Dongchang, while he quietly followed Haitang.

Haitang is responsible for leading a team to the west. She is loyal to Shenhou and will not be wary of Tiangang and Disha under her leadership.

Therefore, if they wanted to kill her, it would be almost impossible for her to have any defense. She might die intentionally or unintentionally, so Xiang Nan had to follow and be ready to protect her at any time.

…

Three days later, Xiang Nan contacted Yagyu Taimamomo through a double-sided mirror.

At this time, Yagyu Taimamomo received the flying pigeon message from the **** and was rushing back to the capital non-stop, preparing to assist him in his attempt to usurp the throne and ascend to Dabao.

It turns out that Shenhou had already made a deal with General Tokugawa of Fuso and asked General Tokugawa to help him plot to usurp the throne. He promised that after ascending to the throne, he would cede the Izumo Kingdom to Shogun Tokugawa.

It turns out that the Izumo Kingdom was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Fuso was ambitious and had long coveted Izumo Country. But as the sovereign state, Ming Dynasty naturally did not allow it.

Although the Fuso Kingdom was stronger than the Izumo Kingdom, it was weaker than the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, with the Ming Dynasty blocking it, it naturally did not dare to send troops easily. But if Ming Dynasty acquiesces, Fusang Kingdom can annex it.

In this way, Fuso's territory will be greatly expanded. The population, wealth, and strength will also be greatly enhanced.

More importantly, Izumo Country is located on the mainland. After Fuso captures it, it can further encroach on the northeast and grasslands, and may even threaten the interior of the pass.

Therefore, what Tiedan Shenhou did was tantamount to cutting meat to feed the tiger, seeking skin from the tiger, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which would bring endless disasters.

Of course, because the two parties had already had a deal, Yagyu Taimamomo had long known that the **** was planning to usurp the throne.

Now that Cao Zhengchun is dead, the last stumbling block for the **** has been removed, and he has begun to plan to force the palace and usurp the throne.

At this time, the **** recalled Tajima Mamoru Yagyu in order to help assassinate those officials who were unwilling to be loyal to him and completely clear the way for him to ascend the throne.

…

With the information from Tajima Mamoru Yagyu, Xiang Nan became more aware of every move of the god.

It turned out that since the **** successfully got rid of Cao Zhengchun, he went to the palace to face the saint that morning and presented the seventy crimes he had collected about Cao Zhengchun.

Among them are conspiracy to usurp the throne, arrogance and disobedience, arrogance and rudeness, forming cliques for personal gain, corruption and perversion of the law, swindling and plundering, etc. Taken together, execution without delay is not an exaggeration.

After seeing the evidence of Cao Zhengchun's crimes collected by the gods, all civil and military officials in the dynasty said in unison, "Cao Zhengchun can be killed. If he should be killed, he should have died long ago!"

Emperor Zhengde was naturally very dissatisfied when he saw that the **** had killed Cao Zhengchun without permission.

Because he originally used Cao Zhengchun to check and balance Shenhou, and then used Shenhou to check and balance Cao Zhengchun, achieving the purpose of political balance.

Now, without asking for an edict, the Goddess beheaded first and then reported, killing a third-rank official of the imperial court in the street. It can be said that he did not take him seriously as an emperor. What's even more troublesome is that without Cao Zhengchun's check and balance, Shenhou is the only one in the court, and he has no way to check and balance. Therefore, Emperor Zhengde was very angry and furious.

It's just that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty said he "should be killed". Even if he was the emperor, he couldn't resist everyone's opinions.

Moreover, now that Cao Zhengchun is dead, there is no decent helper around him. Under this situation, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood. Not only does he praise the **** for hoeing traitors for the country, but he also wants to reward the **** lavishly. .

…

The **** became more and more proud when he saw this, and then he persuaded Emperor Zhengde to issue an imperial edict, stating that he should not turn a blind eye to Cao Zhengchun's many acts of rebellion, corruption and perversion of the law, and decreed that Dongchang should be deposed permanently.

Cao Zhengchun has controlled Dongchang and Jinyiwei for many years. He has great power, forms cliques for personal gain, takes bribes and perverts the law, and harms loyal people. Basically, all civil and military officials in the dynasty were bullied by him, so they were naturally dissatisfied.

Nowadays, the **** has great righteousness and urges the emperor to issue an edict to punish himself. In their opinion, although it is a bit overreaching and a bit arrogant.

But over the years, they had suffered so many grievances from Cao Zhengchun. Now that the emperor has issued an edict to punish himself, in their opinion, it is also appropriate.

If Emperor Zhengde knows that he has committed a crime, and if he punishes him, people all over the world will call him a coward and a tyrant.

After all, for so many years, Cao Zhengchun and his eunuchs have been arrogant, domineering, corrupt, perverting the law, preying on the common people, and have already offended the public.

But people generally only blame these eunuchs, not the emperor.

Because since ancient times, China has emphasized "the king of heaven and earth, his relatives and his master". The emperor is the true dragon emperor and can never make mistakes.

Even for a faint emperor like Huizong of the Song Dynasty, "Water Margin" described him as the "Holy Saint and Ming", but he was only deceived by the four treacherous ministers Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, and Yang Jian.

And after this sinner issued an edict, people all over the world knew that Cao Zhengchun was highly valued by Emperor Zhengde. The reason why Cao Zhengchun was so bad was because Emperor Zhengde allowed him to do so.

In this way, if the people don't scold him, he will be notorious and will be infamy for thousands of years.

What's even more troublesome is that if he is punished by his sinner, he will "not be like a king". In this way, Shenhou can take its place.

However, he had the intention not to write it, but the gods and the civil and military officials put pressure on him, forcing Emperor Zhengde to write it.

Therefore, he had no choice but to issue an edict to express his favor to Cao Zhengchun, allowing him to monopolize power, take bribes and pervert the law, harm the loyal and good, and apologize to the people of the world.

After the promulgation of the Sin Ji Edict, Emperor Zhengde was, as expected, reviled by the people all over the country, and public opinion was boiling for a while.

In contrast, the **** who killed the eunuchs became the savior of the people, a great hero, a great hero, and a great loyal minister. The image in the minds of the people remains the same.

…

Seeing that the public opinion has been formed, the gods also officially launched the campaign to force the emperor to conceive.

Now he has the support of the top ten generals, and more than half of the civil and military officials in North Korea and China support him.

More importantly, he also received great support from Wan Sanqian, the richest man in the world.

Thirty thousand provided the food, grass, weapons and ordnance for his 800,000-strong army, allowing him to completely control the military power. In this way, God has great power and naturally has nothing to fear.

He also promised 13,000 yuan. After he ascended the throne as the emperor, he not only strongly supported him to make money, but also entrusted him with the salt and iron business. He even promised to betroth Haitang to him as his wife.

After learning the news, Xiang Nan was naturally very angry. God Hou's move was simply despicable, shameless and extremely dirty.
