[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

It is easy to understand Zhu Hui's mood. The people who used to support him are now no longer supported, so naturally he feels aggrieved.So Zhu Hui did a crazy thing. He got drunk and said a lot of things like the emperor crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the grindstone and killing the donkey. Follow the words of the Tai/ancestor who killed heroes indiscriminately.To have fun is to have fun, but there will be endless troubles.

This is a very serious matter, and it can even be said to be treasonous. Zhu Hui regretted it when he said it.Fortunately, all of you here are confidantes, either family friends like the Duke of England, or your own students.It's just that even though everyone said that they don't remember what happened that day, Zhu Hui was still worried.Now they are good with themselves, they can help them hide it, but when they are not good with them, it is inevitable that they will threaten themselves with this.

But after much deliberation, Zhu Hui couldn't come up with a suitable solution, so he could only go home by himself in a sedan chair, tossing and turning all night.The next day Zhu Hui brought his sons over and told them all about it.It's just that Zhu Hui didn't think of a way. What else could they think of? Could it be that they could kill all the people present at that time?

Zhu Hui's youngest son is a dandy, and a high-class dandy is naturally different from an ordinary dandy, and he makes good friends with the princes of England, such royal nobles as King Shen.He is a dude, his father is praised, and he is naturally praised in his own circle. He believes that Ming Dynasty cannot live without his father.

He came up with a bad idea, an idea that is unreliable in the eyes of ordinary people.He wanted to kill Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao, and support King Shen to take the throne.He knew the news that Zhu Youtang was very ill now, King Shen told him, and now, no matter whether it was civil servants, eunuchs or military officials, Zhu Youtang was not pleasing to the eye, and they would get a lot of money by killing Zhu Youtang people support.

King Shen is an idle king with a shallow foundation. If he wants to secure the throne, he must rely on Zhu Hui who helped him to the top, so that Zhu Hui can lift him up and force the emperor to make the princes.As for Zhu Houzhao, he is not in the palace most of the time now. As long as Zhu Hui has enough soldiers and horses, he will not be able to survive under the chaotic army.As for the remaining three, one is a child and the other two are women, they can be resolved anyway.

After hearing what his youngest son said, Zhu Hui also felt that this was a bad idea at first.But he has many sons, and his sons have been deeply immersed in the illusory glory. Under the instigation of his unreliable sons, he also thinks that this idea is very feasible.

Unlike his sons, although he is not a good general or a good official, he is a good politician and he knows what to do to maximize his interests.He was the first to think of the gloomy Zhou family.

The Zhou family died, and the Zhou family almost collapsed, but Zhu Hui didn't think so.Although Mrs. Zhou is dead, she is the queen mother of the royal family after all, and there are still some old people in the palace who buy her account.And these resources are inherited by Zhou's daughter, son-in-law and Zhou family. If you want to kill Zhu Youtang, you must start from the palace, and the easiest ones in the palace are He Ding and the Zhou family who were sent away by Zhu Youtang .

Several people discussed in the room for a long time, and they felt more and more reliable about this matter, and even began to plan how to trap Zhu Houzhao.Zhu Hui felt that there was a lot to be done in this matter, and felt that it was not too late, so he hurried to Changning Bo's mansion.

Along the way, the entire Changningbo Mansion was quiet.Only half a year after Mrs. Zhou's death, Changning Bo's mansion has become deserted, and the contrast with the crowded scene before is obvious.Zhu Hui's visit alarmed the entire Changningbo mansion. It is true that there are too few visitors to Changningbo's mansion recently, and even a few in-laws who are going to get married have already made up their minds to divorce.

Zhou Yu's hair had almost fallen out, and he greeted Zhu Hui as soon as he entered the door. Zhou Yu didn't know what the Duke Baoguo was up to, but he knew that the Zhou family had gone on a strange road. I can't afford to offend Duke Bao.

To murder the emperor, of course, this matter can't be said directly, Zhu Hui probed Zhou Yu's tone, seeing that he did have some complaints about Zhu Youtang, so he carefully tested him in a joking way.Who would have expected Zhou Yu to say that Zhu Youtang was dead.

In Zhou Yu's view, Zhu Youtang would have been dead for many years without the Zhou family, but now he is avenging his kindness, not only disrespecting Zhou's wish to bury her with Yingzong, but also being so ruthless to Zhou's natal family.The Zhou family already hated Zhu Youtang to the core. From his point of view, without Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao, the new emperor would treat the Changning House better for the sake of the Zhou family. The two hit it off and waited for Zhu Hui to leave. When they were in Changningbo Mansion, the two had already called brothers and sisters.

In just a few days, Zhu Hui had already contacted King Shen, He Ding, the Zhou family, and others. These factions were either frustrated or had never held power.It's just that everyone is very smart and knows how to measure.It is okay to let them share a piece of the pie, but it is not good to ask them to contribute.More importantly, they didn't want to leave any evidence, which made Zhu Hui want to get rid of them.

But there was really no other way, Zhu Hui could send troops to kill Zhu Houzhao, but he couldn't reach the palace, so he couldn't attack Zhu Youtang.To achieve this, only the connections left by the He Dingyi faction and the Zhou family will have to be pulled under the banner of King Shen, so even if Zhu Hui really doesn't want to work with them, he must be patient.

Even the poison/medicine was prepared by Zhu Hui, and he just waited for a good time to do it.Speaking of which, this poison/drug has something to do with Luo Zhijian.In order to please the government of Baoguo, Luo Zhijian painted portraits of all the famous people in Baoguo, including Zhu Hui of course.Just when Zhu Hui was upset, seeing this foreigner coming, he also became interested and asked him what was going on in Flangjiguo.

Luo Zhijian told him about the life of some Portuguese nobles.Zhu Hui thought of what he was about to do, thought of poison/drug, and asked Luo Zhijian if he knew whether Fu Langji had poison to kill people.Luo Zhijian saw that the duke was finally interested in listening to him, so he told Zhu Hui about the poison/medicine trained by an alchemist.

In order to poison Zhu Youtang to death, Zhu Hui thought of many ways, including any kind of poisoning, but after much deliberation, there was no proper way.If you give poison/medicine first, you will not be able to pass the test of the eunuch, but if you bribe the imperial physician, the risk is too great.The lesson of Shaw's back then is still in front of him, Zhu Youtang still dare not have children, just to survive.

On the contrary, Luo Zhijian reminded Zhu Hui that the pollen and root of oleander are strong poisons/drugs, and the onset is slow, so maybe he can pass the test of the eunuch.Moreover, the pollen of oleander is small, so it is not easy to detect when it is caught in any medicine, and it is easy to get things done.Zhu Hui seemed to be enlightened, praised Luo Zhijian for a long time, and rewarded him with a lot of money and utensils.

It happened to be Zhu Youtang's birthday on the third day of July. Zhu Houzhao was going to the imperial mausoleum to worship his ancestors in order to pray for Zhu Youtang. This happened to be a good opportunity for Zhu Hui to do it.Zhu Houzhao set off from the Forbidden City on July [-], and was going back to Beijing on July [-]. Zhu Hui planned to intercept and kill Zhu Houzhao on his way to Beijing on July [-].

Zhou Yu has already made arrangements for the affairs of the palace. The medicinal material containing oleander pollen has been put into the inner palace by Zhou's old man, and when the time comes, the people arranged by Zhou Yu will take out the medicinal material and boil it. .

Everything has been arranged, just wait for the time to work together.Because Zhu Youtang's Longevity Festival was approaching, the extremely lively capital city suddenly became strangely quiet.Zhu Houzhao still didn't notice it, and now he was running on both sides.While the Ministry of Household Construction and Customs cannot do without him, while Zhu Youtang is still sick in bed, he still has to serve soup and medicine.

Zhu Youtang's birthday was approaching, and the palace finally celebrated a little bit, and Zhu Houzhao was finally able to let out a little breath.Du Ruo hadn't been idle these few days. The news of Zhu Youtang's illness was kept from the outside world, and Zhu Houzhao was extremely busy. Du Ruo had to be Zhu Youtang's little secretary temporarily to help him with some simple chores.

In the past few years, Zhu Youtang's Longevity Festival is generally not held unless it is a big day on the tenth day, but this year Zhu Youtang's illness is fierce.Mrs. Zhang wanted to hold a big event to celebrate Zhu Youtang, so this year's event was especially grand, and there was an endless stream of congratulatory envoys from all over the world.But the reaction of many officials is worth pondering.

Compared with Zhu Youtang in history, Zhu Youtang who has a son from modern times has changed a lot.However, the contradiction between Zhu Youtang and the civil servants has also intensified like never before.Zhu Youtang has indeed done some good things that benefit the country and the people, but like Zhu Houzhao's creation of customs, there will be a transfer of interests.

Whether it is opening the sea ban, reforming the salt administration, suppressing the power of the cabinet, eunuchs, or rectifying the administration of officials, the conflict of interests between Zhu Youtang and many officials has become more and more serious.If there is no external cause of Zhu Hui, this crisis will be slowly digested under the calm water, until the day when he can no longer be ignited, but now Zhu Hui has pulled him out, exposed to the sun, and is about to ignite .

The coming crisis has alarmed all fish and shrimps in the capital. Although they don't know what is going to happen, they know that something big will happen.Those hidden old bones are hiding under the calm water, just waiting for someone to mess up the water, so that they can fish in troubled waters.

For any kind of reform, the biggest resistance will always be those with vested interests, whether they are good or bad, when it comes to their own interests, it depends on whether the exchange terms you offer are attractive enough, and whether your muscles are strong enough, it’s a pity What's more, Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't let these people see the bright future he had in mind.And Zhu Youtang, who was ill in bed, and an underage prince were obviously not among those with strong enough muscles.A storm in the Ming Dynasty is coming.
