Chapter 696 The Final Cleaning

Author: Hungry

"My son knows what to do!"

A hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes. If there was such a day, he would never show any mercy.

As Zhu Houzhao's son, Zhu Qiyuan never lacks the courage and skill of killing and decisive.

If Changsun Wuji really did that, he would definitely die, and Changsun Wugui would not be able to protect him.

"Go back first and let me be alone."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand a little tiredly. A series of things had already exhausted him physically and mentally, and the immortal Daluo Dao body could no longer bear it.

Sometimes, mental fatigue is more than physical fatigue.

Zhu Qiyuan bowed and was about to leave immediately. At this time, Zhu Houzhao's words sounded in his ears: "If your father is gone, protect your sister and don't let her suffer."

Zhu Qiyuan's body trembled slightly and he accelerated his pace to leave.

Sitting alone in the leopard room, looking up at the top of the hall, Zhu Houzhao's mood had never been so complicated.

Since ancient times, the only one who died was difficult!

He didn't want to die, nor did he want to make others' lives with his own death, but he had no choice.

If you don’t go to make peace with Guixu, do you have to watch your children and your country be swallowed and destroyed by Guixu?

Before the great catastrophe of Chaos Guixu, he may be able to protect himself without any worries, but he cannot protect anyone except him.

My eyes changed and my eyes changed. I don’t know if I figured it out or made some decision, but gradually became firm and dull.

"Liu Jin."

With a gentle call, Liu Jin appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao like a ghost.

He raised his hand and threw the death list to Liu Jin, and said coldly: "Kill!"

The people on the death list are all ulterior motives. Keeping them is a hidden danger and must be eliminated.

"I will obey the emperor's order."

The final cleaning begins!

Taking the death list given by Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin led the East Factory and the Jinyiwei to launch the final massacre before Zhu Houzhao abdicated.

Often those who can be included in the death list are unclean under their butts, and it is not difficult to convict them.

Collect evidence of crime in one day, and then directly search the house the next day. If there is any resistance, kill it on the spot.

Now in a prosperous era of cultivation, the streets on the roadside are all a little capable, not to mention that officials who are in high positions and enjoy the support of imperial resources have extraordinary cultivation and generally have the ability to enter the realm of immortality.

But no matter how strong you are, with the joint efforts of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, you will all be ruined. The Sunflower Sword Guard and Jinyiwei Tiqi, which have been cultivated through countless resources, are not vegetarians.

Those officials who were relatively clean but had a weak position, Dongchang and Jinyiwei directly framed and accused them, and then searched the house and destroyed the family for one-stop service.

If you stand in the wrong team and not stand firm enough, it is the biggest crime. If the emperor wants you to die, how can you not die?

After some cleaning of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, the entire Ming Dynasty was in panic. All forces who were thinking of jumping were all stopped, for fear of causing a murder.

Especially the kings led by Lao Zhu and Zhu Di were even more honest. They closed the gate of the royal palace and did not dare to go out for a long time.

Among all forces in the world, the kings have always been thorns in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and they must be used and guarded. If they do not restrain themselves at this time, it is difficult to ensure that Zhu Houzhao will not have another massacre.

Although he was the emperor of the Zhu family, Zhu Houzhao's tolerance for the kings was extremely limited.

King of Wu Mansion

Old Zhu was paying attention to the development of the situation and sighed: "Zhu Houzhao is already crazy!"

It was indeed crazy. After this wave of purge, most of the local courts and local officials in various states were reduced, which was more than one terrifying.

But the terror shows that the Taiwu Dynasty has a profound foundation. It was the front foot that scouted officials' homes and destroyed the family, and someone made up for the vacancies. The court's operation was as usual, without any stagnation.

As the largest talent training base in the Taiwu Dynasty, the Sun and Moon Academy is not short of capable people at all, but what is lacking is the official positions that can be arranged.

Kill the existing officials who are ignorant of the current affairs and let the talents waiting to be arranged to top them up. The court is still the court and will not be unable to operate just because no one is missing.

Zhu Houzhao never fought a war that he was unsure of.

Lao Zhu also admired this. The Hongwu Academy he established in Hongwu Prefecture is far less efficient than the Sun and Moon Academy in terms of efficiency.

"Grandpa, if this continues, I'm afraid."

Zhu Xiongying, who was following Lao Zhu, wanted to speak but stopped, his eyes were full of worry.

I was worried that the cleaning storm set off by Zhu Houzhao would spread to the Prince of Wu's Mansion.

After all, Old Zhu is the object of Zhu Houzhao's defense, and is deeply afraid of Zhu Houzhao.

However, Lao Zhu did not take Zhu Xiongying's worries to heart, and smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, this fire cannot burn us."

Old Zhu was very clear in his heart, knowing that Zhu Houzhao would not touch him before he lost his value.

If he had to be touched, Zhu Houzhao would have taken action long ago, so why should he wait until now?

Zhu Houzhao can see the potential threat from the Jianghu Sect, but Lao Zhu has no reason not to see it.

Whether it is Zhu Houzhao or Lao Zhu, they are all those scheming and unfathomable old foxes.

"Send someone to notify your second uncle, third uncle and others, so that they will be honest recently and don't hit Zhu Houzhao's muzzle."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, while Old Zhu stared at the direction of the palace, not knowing what he was thinking.

It is certainly a good thing that Zhu Houzhao suddenly abdicated, but Zhu Qiyuan is not a fool. He has a long way to go to regain his former authority!

Yan Wang Mansion

Zhu Di looked strange, and Zhu Houzhao's recent actions made him inexplicably think of Lao Zhu.

The Ming Dynasty had never been merged into the old Zhu that was the past, which was very similar to Zhu Houzhao now. No, Zhu Houzhao was more cruel than that of Zhu.

In order to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen, the old Zhu started a massacre, killing the powerful Huaixi nobles to only three or two big cats.

Zhu Houzhao was even more cruel. As long as the forces in the world had wrong positions, they were all within the scope of cleaning. The hypocritical behavior in the court was just to test the positions of those people.

But this is not surprising. With Zhu Houzhao's cruelty and ruthlessness, it would be strange if he was really willing to "be the public for the world".

"Prince, how should we deal with it?"

The former Empress Xu and the current Princess Xu asked with a serious face.

Zhu Houzhao is about to abdicate, and there is no mountain above his head. It is indeed worth being happy, but at this time when the storm is sweeping, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not harm himself.

"Well"

Zhu Di was speechless for a moment. Faced with the current situation, he didn't know how to deal with it. After all, he was not sure whether Zhu Houzhao would attack him.

The caring adviser Yao Guangxiao was invited by Zhu Houzhao to the Sun and Moon Academy. He was unable to give him advice, so he could only say helplessly: "Please respond to changes with the same change!"

Apart from that, he had no good ideas.

In fact, Zhu Di also believed that Zhu Houzhao still had some use for him and would not easily attack him, but Zhu Houzhao was capricious and it was really difficult to understand what Zhu Houzhao thought.

As for the sake of Zhu Houzhao for the sake of his ancestors, it is unrealistic to show mercy to his men.

Zhu Qizhen's past lessons are still in front of him.

Zhu Di knew very well that Zhu Houzhao kept the kings, not because he was afraid of the seniority issue, but because the kings were useful to Zhu Houzhao.

My ancestors have been shot with real swords and guns, but can they still scare Zhu Houzhao?

Although Zhu Houzhao is not as big as the dragon and arrogance, he is also domineering and powerful, and he is the only one.

The ancestors and seniority are of course the words "Taizu" and "Yongle Master" are mentioned when they need it. When they don't need it, see if Zhu Houzhao dares to deceive the heaven and destroy the ancestors.
