    Zhu Houcong didn't bother to go to Chengtianmen to appease the ministers, but hurriedly drove to Cining Palace.

    This move is the manifestation of "the Holy Emperor governs the country with filial piety". This sentence is not just a slogan, but what the emperor actually wants to do. Even if there are more than a hundred corpses of ministers lying outside the palace gate, Zhu Houcong must first  Go to Cining Palace and endure the Queen Mother¡¯s scolding.

    At this moment, in front of the palace gate, the more than 200 living ministers were covered in scars and looked at the corpses of their colleagues on the ground covered in blood. The autumn wind blew in waves in the square, but everyone's hearts were as cold as the blood on the ground.

    One hundred and thirteen ministers were killed by sticks, on the same day, at the same time, at the same place.

    Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, even the most murderous and cruel Emperor Hongwu has never killed so many ministers in one day. Liu Jin of the Zhengde Dynasty also killed ministers when he was in chaos, but he never dared to risk the disapproval of the world.  , killing so many people in one day, almost one-third of the courtiers in the Ming Dynasty were killed today. How cruel and unkind this is!

    In front of Chengtian Gate, the living ministers also gradually came to their senses.

    This is not a dispute over etiquette. It is clearly the new emperor who wants to establish his authority and strengthen his imperial power and kills his courtiers!  This twelve-year-old child has a cold and cruel soul hidden under his gentle and kind appearance!

    The ministers were chilled. They felt cold from head to toe. They realized what kind of tyrant they had brought to the throne.

    Yang Yiqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was covered in blood. He was hit with a stick just now. Fortunately, several old officials tried their best to stop him. Yang Yiqing was not injured, but the blood on his body belonged to his colleagues.

    He looked around blankly at the corpses in the quiet square, with muddy old tears flowing down in strings. He turned his head to look at Yang Tinghe, who had a dull expression. Yang Yiqing said in a trembling voice: "Jie Fu, after Jiajing  , what kind of world will it be like tomorrow?"

    Yang Tinghe remained silent, suppressing the anger that was about to burst out.

    ***************************************************  ******************

    The autumn wind swept the withered yellow leaves, forming a small whirlpool in the open field. The fallen leaves were blown up by the wind, and then fell again, creating a bleak and dilapidated scenery.

    At the same time as the murder at the palace gate occurred, Qin Kan and Tang Zihe were sitting in a carriage, which was driving leisurely to a farm in the southern suburbs of the capital city.

    Until now, sitting on the rickety carriage, Qin Kan was still confused.  He didn't understand why Tang Zihe suddenly wanted to drag him out, let alone why she had to leave the city for the southern suburbs.

    In the swaying car, Qin Kan, who was wearing a sapphire blue scholar's shirt, looked at Tang Zihe in confusion. Today, Tang Zihe did not have the slightly sharp aura as usual. Instead, he seemed a little guilty. A pair of dark and bright eyes looked at the car from time to time.  Top, sometimes looking out of the car, but not daring to make eye contact with Qin Kan.

    Qin Kan was more and more surprised. Tang Zihe's guilty conscience was rare to see in a hundred years. It had been more than ten years since he met her, and he had never seen her look like this today. He became more and more curious about where she was going.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The carriage was neither fast nor slow, and the official road in the suburbs was not smooth. Qin Kan was a little dizzy sitting in the bumpy carriage. He was thinking about how to submit a proposal to the court to mobilize the treasury and internal affairs after the storm passed.  With the remaining time in the warehouse, the Ministry of Industry recruited civilians to widen or rebuild all the main official roads in the Ming Dynasty, striving to cover the entire network of official roads in the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty. Convenient transportation is the prerequisite for the development of national strength. Later generations would say "if you want to  The slogan "To get rich, build roads first" is not unreasonable. With a wide and smooth road, the efficiency of merchants, military or civilians will be greatly increased. The taxes from the world will be returned to the world, and both officials, soldiers and civilians can enjoy the benefits.  And convenience is a strategy for strengthening a country.

    A soft voice sounded in Qin Kan's ears, interrupting the vague thoughts in his mind.

    "My lord, the atmosphere in the capital city is not right today. Something big seems to have happened?" Tang Zihe asked gently.

    Qin Kan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, the subjects are celebrating together, and the government is running meticulously. Today is like the past, and it is like this every day. What big thing can happen?"

    The curiosity in Tang Zihe's eyes has not faded at all. He curled his lips quietly and said: "You lied to me, something obviously happened"

    Qin Kan sighed: "Why does a girl with red makeup need to interfere with government affairs? Even if there is a big event, what does it have to do with you?"

    Tang Zihe was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qin Kan with more and more suspicion: "Is there really something big going on?"

    Qin Kan didn't want to pay attention to her and turned his head to look out the car window.

    Tang Zihe¡¯s expression gradually became excited, and even his tone of voice was filled with unconcealable excitement: ¡°Mr.?: "Although I have God's help, I can't thank God for being able to wake up. I have to thank you for marrying an outsider who has great medical skills."

    Qin Kan immediately turned to look at Tang Zihe behind him, but Tang Zihe lowered his head in guilt and remained silent.

    Qin Kan looked at Gao Feng again, who was bowing and laughing. Several clues connected into a vague outline in his mind. At this moment, he suddenly understood everything.

    Turning his head to look at Tang Zihe again, Qin Kan's eyes suddenly turned cold. Tang Zihe timidly raised his head and happened to meet his eyes. Seeing the anger in those familiar eyes, Tang Zihe's eyes turned red, but his heart felt like being tortured.  Pain as if stabbed by a knife.

    Suppressing the anger in his heart, Qin Kan still smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and he is protected by all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. I am happy to see that your Majesty is fine, so I summon all the civil and military ministers to come to pick him up, and then ask Mr. Yang to start  The cabinet is discussing that His Majesty will follow the Yingzong's example and ascend the throne again. After all major events are settled, you and I, the monarch and our ministers, can reminisce about the past"

    "No, no no!" Zhu Houzhao shook his head unexpectedly and said: "I woke up after Gao Feng stole me out of the palace. These days in this farm, I heard that the courtiers had appointed a new king, and I heard that my cousin Zhu Houcong  Since ascending the throne, I have not made any move until now, Qin Kan, don¡¯t you understand why?¡±

    Qin Kan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly trembled all over and stared at Zhu Houzhao in shock.

    "Your Majesty!"

    Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved his hands, looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, and sighed: "Qin Kan, I am not a good emperor, or in other words, I actually don't want to be the emperor"

    "My father is the only son, and the succession to the throne is unavoidable, so I wore a yellow robe and was put on a high-profile stage by the courtiers. However, including my father, no one has ever asked me if I would like to be the emperor, let alone  No one has asked me whether I will be happy as the emperor. In the eyes of the world, they only see my splendor and my dignity Yes, I am sitting on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and I am a powerful person in the world. I should be the happiest person in the world.  How can I not be happy? How dare I not be happy?"

    Zhu Houzhao said with his eye circles turning red again: "However, during these fourteen years as emperor, I only felt truly happy when I played with Zhang Yong and Gu Da in the inner palace, or when I fed the tigers and elephants in the leopard room.  , in the past fourteen years, the ministers criticized and restricted everything at home and abroad, ranging from the world's money, food, rivers, and military preparations, to repairing the palace gates and replacing tiles. Everyone they saw and heard was scolded and scolded.  Shouldn't the most noble person in the world be the emperor? But why do I think the most noble people are those ministers and civil servants? I have been the emperor for fourteen years, and I have endured it for fourteen years"

    "I really like to have fun by nature, but as I got older I had already given up on it. However, the courtiers forced me to have fun, so I deliberately deviated from the norm and became absurd. I don't know whether it was because I wanted to fight or to be angry.  In the dead of night, I thought about all my deeds, and felt deeply ashamed and fearful. I was afraid that I would ruin my ancestor's reputation and bring shame to my ancestor's reputation, so I had to brace myself up to take care of the country that my father left to me. I am lucky to have you all these years.  , settled Liaodong, executed Liu Jin, King Pingning, and banned the sea I am not good at governing the country, but I only trust you in my life. You help me manage this devastated world properly, and all I have to do is just to  You are responsible for nodding your head when you make any suggestions, and then work together to deceive the ministers"

    Zhu Houzhao's face showed a smile of reminiscence: "For fourteen years, I have counted them carefully, but I didn't expect that you and I, our monarchs and ministers, would actually do so many things, let alone that you and I, our monarchs and ministers, would be able to govern the Ming Dynasty prosperously. Since Hongzhi,  , Zhengde becomes stronger and stronger in the hands of you and me, Qin Kan, I want to thank you very much, thank you very much for helping me to protect this country, and let it turn upside down under my rule, which is better than all previous dynasties, even if I die at this moment  Huang Quan is worthy of his ancestors"

    Qin Kan already knew Zhu Houzhao's answer, and sighed helplessly with his head down: "You and I, our monarchs and ministers, have spent more than ten years of effort and blood to rule the prosperous country. It could have been grander and more powerful. How could your Majesty bear to abandon it?"

    Zhu Houzhao sighed solemnly: "Because I am tired, really too tired Qin Kan, the life I want to live is not about fine clothes and fine food, not about being able to respond to everything at once. In fact, what I want is very simple. I just want to take the path I want to take."  That¡¯s all, when others look at me, they don¡¯t look at me as a lofty emperor, nor as a shadow piled up with a lot of rituals, crowns, and titles. I just want to be an ordinary person with a name, as ordinary as dust, small but small.  Really, I just hope that for the rest of my life there will be no more piles of memorials, no more courtiers nagging in my ears, treating me as a stepping stone for my reputation and pride, and no more people who have the world but have to be particular about which leg they walk on.  The constraints"

    Qin Kan nodded dejectedly: "I understand, what you want is freedom."

    Zhu Houzhao showed a strange look, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "This word is fresh and good. What I want is freedom, yes, freedom!"

    After bowing his head and sighing, Zhu Houzhao said: "Actually my shoulders are too weak to carry such a big country. I have been carrying this for fourteen years, but I feel that I have exhausted all my life's strength. Qin Kan, I  I really can't afford it. In recent years, I have become more and more desperate day by day, until I drowned and fell into a coma. I was rescued by your wife, smuggled out of the palace by Gao Feng, and then the new emperor came to the throne For me,  This is simply a chance for me to be reborn.
