In the 19th year of Xiande in the Great Wei Dynasty, the emperor died, and his posthumous title was mourning.The new emperor ascended the throne and changed Yuan Hongwu.

Not long after Emperor Hongwu came to the throne, he reformed the criminal law drastically and imposed severe punishments. Every day in Ziyang City, officials were pressed to the Meridian Gate for execution, and the ground was even stained with blood red that could not be wiped off.

At the same time, an investigation department of the secret service that made countless officials in the world fearful was also established. Xu Yong, the leader of the investigation department, was hailed as the number one minion of Emperor Hongwu.

Even the rebels, whom the people favored, were not eager to fight against the landlords to divide the land. On the contrary, the investigation department found out a lot of criminal evidence, and mercilessly uprooted countless local tyrants and crushed them into powder.

Some of them attempted to offer gold and silver beauties to win the favor of the emperor, thus escaping disaster.As a result, the emperor was concerned instead, the gold and silver were accepted, the beauties were sent back, a pile of crimes were dumped, and the family property was confiscated.

This suffocating operation left the remaining officials and gentry stunned, and everyone felt insecure.

During the more than 200 years of the development of the Great Wei Dynasty, those officials, gentry, and even local tyrants have been connected together for a long time, forming a deep-rooted profit network. Now that the emperor has broken it so roughly, it has aroused the interest of this network. rebound.

All of a sudden, countless rumors about the emperor spread all over the world, some of them were true and some of them were false. After those literati exaggerated and exaggerated, they looked decent, and even many ignorant people believed it to be true.Emperor Hongwu's reputation quickly disintegrated among the people, and he gradually became known as a tyrant.

But instead of compromising, the emperor became more aggressive. There was even a record of copying [-] houses overnight and beheading hundreds of people.

In addition, he selected the best from the best and formed a new Beiyan army of one hundred thousand with one hand. All the oil and water scraped from the civil and military officials and landlords and gentry were all turned into armor and weapons for the new army. The emperor himself was in charge of the army. Suppress all dissatisfaction.

Everyone dared not resist on the bright side, but secretly began to make various small moves.For example, on the side of the rebel army, many secret supporters suddenly appeared, sending food, people, intelligence, and even helping officials to persuade officials to surrender, so that wherever the rebel army passed by, many cities surrendered in anticipation.

Chu Si, who secretly let all this happen, let Lin Wuwei happily accept the "good intentions" of these people, and secretly wrote down the list of everyone in a small notebook.

... To be able to spend so much silver to support the rebel army, it seems that these guys are fatter than he imagined!

The audience in the live broadcast room watching this scene also sent out a series of bullet screens.

〖Hey hey hey, Your Majesty is really insidious (cross out) - so wise!Isn't this just putting the money in the left pocket into the right pocket? 〗〖This wave is so beautiful, I don’t know how many people have been pitted to the bottom of the ditch!And I have lied to the world for thousands of years, until now I am still in a trance...〗〖I guess those officials are still secretly happy!I wonder if they will go crazy the day they find out the truth?I thought I was digging the corners of the empire secretly, but I didn't expect that I was actually adding bricks and tiles to His Majesty (*/ω\*).And it has never turned from reluctance to hard work. 〗〖Officials (clenching fists excitedly): Sending food, people and money to the rebels, vowing to bring down the tyrant and resist tyranny!

Your Majesty (happily collecting money, jotting down a small notebook): Unexpectedly, these people are so fat, do you want to mess with him? [Saliva]〗〖Puff ha ha ha ha ha laugh die! 〗No matter how turbulent the dark tide is behind the scenes, how many people hate the emperor, the changes in the world situation are always independent of their will.

In the July of the first year of Hongwu, the northern border of Mobei was frequently harassed by Beiyuan. The emperor insisted on going his own way and led a hundred thousand Beiyan troops to conquer the frontier.

According to the newly revised criminal law, these tens of thousands of captives were sent to Beimo Border Pass to repair the city wall, build embankments along the Huaihe River, repair post roads at various passes, and mine in various mines... Regardless of casualties, they worked until the end of the year. die.It seems that these captives are used as pure consumables.

This brutal act became the target of literati's verbal and pen criticism, and they completely forgot how much the people of the Wei Dynasty lost their heavy corvees.

But no matter how these people talk about it, it is an indisputable fact that the emperor's prestige is increasing day by day after this battle.

Countless caring people who had secretly watched the emperor's jokes and even hoped that he would die in Mobei suddenly panicked.They seem to be able to see an invisible butcher's knife approaching step by step. As long as the emperor is still alive, this butcher's knife will reach their necks sooner or later.

They don't want to just sit there and wait for death.

Countless like-minded people began to act.

Some people sent secret agents to secretly spy on the emperor's whereabouts, to find out his preferences and weaknesses; The undercurrent of his life has turned into a monstrous huge wave and rushed towards him, trying to completely submerge him.

· At the end of September, the autumn wind is rustling.

In an unnamed mansion on the outskirts of Ziyang City, the lights were not on, and the whole mansion was shrouded in darkness.

Lin Wuwei came for the appointment, and stepped into the mansion under the respectful guidance of his servants.Passing through the winding dark corridor, he saw the faintly glowing inner lake not far away.

Someone stood in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, surrounded by heavy curtains, covering the other person's figure and face.

A neat box of gold ingots was pushed out and placed in front of Lin Wuwei.

"I'll leave everything to you sir." The man's tone was low and his voice was sonorous and powerful, "This is just a deposit. If you can take the tyrant's life, I will give you ten thousand gold."
