Chapter 37 The Battle for the Throne
Emperor Jianwen had to meet Chen Luo.
The master's strength is known all over the world.
As the most powerful being in the capital today, Eunuch Chen has enough ability to change the current situation in the capital.
Emperor Jianwen needed answers.
This answer will mean what his next ending will be.
without any exaggeration.
Success or failure all depends on Eunuch Chen's thoughts.
Chen Luo didn't answer.
When Emperor Jianwen appeared, many things became clear.
Emperor Jianwen never left the capital.
For decades, White Lotus followers have spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There were even bloody turmoils in various states, and the shadow of Emperor Jianwen also appeared in various places in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But in fact, this is just a cover.
He has always been in the capital.
Never took a step away.
He just turned into an ordinary old man and hid in the market, that's all.
Now that he has appeared,
this means that everything he wants to plan is ready, all he needs is the east wind.
Under the eyes of Emperor Jianwen.
Chen Luo asked a question: "Is the throne really that important?"
Emperor Jianwen replied: "Zongshi Chen is a great man and has no fight with the world, but I am a common man and cannot be as non-fighter as Grandmaster Chen. Don't rob, especially since these things originally belonged to me... I naturally want to take them back."
Even... you are now sixty or seventy, with half of your foot in the coffin?
Looking at the white-haired Emperor Jianwen in front of him.
Chen Luo wanted to complain.
But in the end he didn't say it.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
He is obsessed with power.
And he is obsessed with immortality.
What's wrong?
So he said calmly: "Don't bother our family fishing again..."
Emperor Jianwen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
stand up.
He bowed slightly and saluted: "Eunuch Chen is indeed as rumored. If I ascend the throne, I will definitely take you as my Grand Master of the Zhou Kingdom..."
Chen Luo stopped.
"No need, our family still likes to sit and eat and wait to die..."
Emperor Jianwen smiled slightly.
Without saying anything else, he slowly exited Ji's house.
After Emperor Jianwen left, Ji Bao came over.
His heart was filled with shock: "Master Chen, he...he is Emperor Jianwen? Why is he in the capital? Could it be that everything that happened in the capital recently has something to do with Emperor Jianwen?" "You are really smart." Chen Luo nodded:
"
Back
then Emperor Jianwen was driven out of the imperial city by Emperor Tianqi and founded the White Lotus Sect. He has been waiting for the opportunity.
But Emperor Tianqi was so brave that Emperor Jianwen was afraid and did not have the courage to fight with him.
Even if Emperor Tianqi was seriously ill in the later period, he did not have the courage.
Until After the death of Emperor Tianqi, he thought he had seized the opportunity and started a war, intending to carve up the Great Zhou Dynasty, establish the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, and gradually transfer the imperial power. But who would have thought that although Emperor Meiji was a puppet, Emperor Tianshu was not an ordinary woman
.
It almost uprooted the White Lotus Sect.
For decades, the White Lotus Sect has been developing in the dark, and there was no chance.
But what Emperor Yongle has done in these years is called retrograde. Emperor Jianwen now sees the opportunity, so naturally he will not Let’s miss this opportunity.”
I couldn’t see clearly before.
But as time goes by.
The truth of some things will become clear.
Chen Luo spent about thirty years figuring out the key to this.
There may be discrepancies.
But the difference will definitely not be too big.
"His time is running out. If he cannot regain the throne this time, Emperor Jianwen will never have a chance to come back again."
Ji Bao nodded.
He asked out of curiosity: "The rumor in the market is that Emperor Yongle is not of royal blood, but descended from the Wu family. Is it true?"
Chen Luo did not answer... He
just replied that he couldn't tell...
But he knew that the rumors were not false.
The imperial edict that I obtained in the darkroom of the Sutra Pavilion.
What is recorded above is the truth about these.
Emperor Wenzong left the secret edict because he was afraid that Emperor Tianqi would threaten the Zhou royal family.
But who would have thought...
He did not pose any threat to the royal family, but instead turned over and became the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
He drove Emperor Jianwen away abruptly.
It's a pity...
Emperor Jianwen didn't know the existence of this secret decree until later.
This is also the reason why people from the White Lotus Sect often appear in the harem.
They have been looking for this testament.
It's a pity...
there will be no chance again.
"Then... what should we do now?"
Ji Bao was a little worried: "According to what you said, Mr. Chen, there will definitely be chaos in the capital. I don't know how many people will die by then... What should we do?" "Simple.
"
Chen Luo said lightly.
"Go stock up on some bars."
Ji Bao:? ? ?
"When the time comes, drink wine and watch the excitement, wouldn't it be nice?"
The situation in the capital is treacherous, what does it have to do with him?
He, Chen Luo, is just a little eunuch.
Drink and drink.
Check out the show. Then we can just sit back and watch the turmoil...
...
something happened in the capital.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the twelfth year of Yongle...
countless people with white scarves on their heads poured out of the streets and alleys of the capital city. They quickly killed the defense forces in the capital city with lightning speed.
and took control of the Defense Forces.
Ji Bao broke into cold sweat when he heard the news.
Fortunately he left the SADF.
If he hadn't left...
he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
After the White Lotus Sect took control of the defense forces, they shouted slogans:
"Yongle is unruly, killing loyal people, killing his wife to block the mouth of the world. Today, the White Lotus Sect, following the order of Emperor Jianwen, returns the clear sky to the great Zhou Dynasty and restores the prosperous age of Jianwen!" Under this slogan, countless White Lotus Sect disciples,
from They appeared from all directions and attacked the imperial city.
East Factory.
Jinyiwei.
Royal Guards.
All the troops were mobilized to fight against the White Lotus Sect in various parts of the capital.
However...
this is just the beginning.
Prime Minister Zhang Weizheng also rebelled.
Head outside the city.
The four major battalions stationed outside the capital went out without authorization from the emperor.
The army forced into the imperial city.
Obviously, these four camps have been instigated to rebel.
Emperor Jianwen, who was hiding in the darkness, finally appeared.
After seeing the appearance of Emperor Jianwen, some officials and generals who originally had dissatisfaction with Emperor Yongle defected and joined the rebel army.
The rebel army was powerful.
However...
under such oppression, 50,000 Red Flame troops appeared in the capital.
This originally belonged to the Great Wall Guards. Later, they followed Emperor Yongle back to the capital and became Emperor Yongle's personal soldiers. Their combat capabilities are outstanding.
It is not an exaggeration to call it the strongest army in the Zhou Dynasty.
The huge capital city became a battlefield.
Blood stained the streets and alleys.
I don't know how many people died in this war.
This battle lasted for nearly five days.
during these five days.
The scale of the battle gradually increased...
and powerful auras even appeared.
That is a strong person in the acquired realm.
The addition of experts from acquired realms made the variables of this battle even greater.
…
December 13th.
Things have changed.
The White Lotus Sect originally had the upper hand, but Sima Junliang and Xiao Tianxing, commanders of the Jinyiwei, suddenly took action and killed the acquired strong men of the White Lotus Sect.
The two sides, who were originally evenly matched, instantly reversed their situation due to the death of this strong man from the White Lotus Sect.
at the same time.
The four major battalions that originally fought against the Red Flame Army directly switched sides... and surrounded the White Lotus Religion outside the imperial city.
Emperor Jianwen was among them.
This situation changed so fast that no one expected it.
Emperor Yongle appeared on the imperial city.
Looking down at Emperor Jianwen from a high position, his eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
When he saw Zhang Weizheng appearing next to Emperor Yongle.
Emperor Jianwen was slightly distracted.
He quickly understood what was going on...
he became the one involved.
Not only him, but also hundreds of officials, military generals, and everyone in the world are all pawns in Emperor Yongle's plan.
...
"This Emperor Yongle really has a back-up plan."
Chen Luo was lying in the yard.
It was so relaxing with melon seeds in my mouth.
Emperor Yongle and Zhang Weizheng put on a good show!
The purpose was to attract the White Lotus Sect and Emperor Jianwen.
Obviously.
Emperor Jianwen took the bait.
It’s just that in this scene, a lot of people died...
"This is the battle for imperial power, the battle for the throne... For this scene, the four camps, Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, hundreds of officials, and the people of the capital... between the two of them... In his eyes, they are all chess pieces, and they can be sacrificed at will."
Chen Luo shook his head.
Otherwise, he can only become a eunuch and cannot engage in any princely struggle for hegemony.
Look at this heart...look at this cold-bloodedness.
I really don’t have this ability.
It's better to be a little eunuch...
at least you don't have to participate in these messy things.
How nice.
Ha~
Chen Luo yawned.
A system prompt came.
[You yawned pleasantly, relaxing your body and mind, although it did not enhance your martial arts.
But your pleasure level gets a boost.
PS: The weather looks good today, I suggest you take a nap and you will feel better! 】
