"Long live the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Jianshen's pupils widened slightly when he heard the shouts echoing in the court. He was in a daze.
He had been on the throne for many years, but many officials had never bowed to him like this.
Now, it seemed that in the end, it was because he was not tough enough, too kind, and too tolerant of the mistakes of these officials. Instead, he had become a kind of cowardice.
That was why the ministers of the imperial court were so disloyal to him.
Ancestor Zhu Zhongba followed Confucianism and took scholar-bureaucrats as the pillars of the country and controlled the court.
However, who was Zhu Zhongba?
He was a complete tyrant. He did not know how to reason with anyone. He followed the rule that he was the emperor and whoever he wanted to die had to die!
Even the Ming Cult that had helped him ascend the throne back then, after the Great Ming stabilized, had haggled with Zhu Zhongba, wanting to be conferred as the Orthodoxy and be on equal footing with the Imperial Court, but they had still been mercilessly killed by Zhu Zhongba.
Later, the Ming Emperor Zhu Di, who led the Ming Dynasty to the peak, was even more violent. He loved to skin people alive and pull out their tendons. Even Zhu Zhongba's imperial grandson, who was hand-picked by Zhu Zhong, was not convinced. He directly counterattacked the capital and inherited the throne. There was no room for discussion.
Under the leadership of two generations of tyrants, the Darming Dynasty rose steadily and changed with each passing day.
However, he was at a disadvantage in governing the country with benevolence.
Today, through Zhu Moxie's iron-blooded methods, he discovered that only those who were completely unreasonable and overbearing to the extreme could suppress these officials with excessive power.
Wan Zhen 'er, who was standing by the side, saw the situation turn for the worse and immediately became anxious. She hurriedly said,"Emperor, he's too outrageous. You haven't even abdicated, and he's already claiming to be a person of destiny. He simply has no respect for the ruler. We must abolish his position as Crown Prince, or else what will happen in a few years?”
After Zhu Jianshen came to a realization, he seemed to have seen his own way of being a ruler. He was happy when he heard Wan Zhen 'er's instigation. His face turned cold and he shouted in a deep voice,"Shut up!"
Wan Zhen 'er was stunned for a moment and then immediately became stunned. She and Zhu Jianshen had lived together for more than twenty years and had always been respectful to each other. This was the first time he was angry at her.
At this moment, it was already impossible. Wan Zhen 'er was not stupid. If the Emperor did not support her, then she would have no dignity to speak. She immediately shut her mouth obediently and shook her head at Wan Tong.
Zhu Moxie took in the Wan siblings 'eye contact and knew that the situation had been set. He had already won the first battle to gain a firm foothold in the Ming Imperial Family!
At that moment, he retracted his hand that was holding the pistol into his sleeve, trembling slightly…
However, his expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently,""Get up."
At this moment, Zhu Moxie had turned the tables and become the person in charge of the throne room. His words were equivalent to an imperial edict.
"Thank you, Crown Prince!"
Everyone thanked him in unison and slowly stood up. They shrunk their necks with lingering fear. The words just now were simply heart-wrenching. Accompanied by that appalling killing intent, it was simply impossible to resist.
At this time, they could no longer afford to waver. Offending Imperial Concubine Wan was just a little passive in the court.
However, disobeying the crown prince would cause death!
This was a tyrant comparable to the great ancestor!
Judging the situation was a basic skill to be able to reach their current position. How could they not see that Imperial Concubine Wan had lost the battle in a complete mess? There was no room for turning the tables.
Not only did she lose a right-hand man, but she also caused the emperor to be dissatisfied. If she lost the emperor's favor, she, Wan Zhen 'er, was nothing.
This number one favored consort in history would definitely not be able to defeat the monstrous crown prince in front of her!
Zhu Moxie's expression was cold as he nodded. He turned around and said,""Imperial Father, the traitor has been executed. Please continue with the morning court session.”
Zhu Jianshen smiled slightly. The more capable his son was, the happier he would be. Who didn't want their children to become dragons and phoenixes?
He cleared his throat and said,"Dear ministers, if there's anything, please report. If there's nothing, leave the court!”
Dozens of ministers looked at each other and said in unison,""We have nothing to report."
"Retreat!"
Shang Ming shouted loudly when he saw this, and it entered everyone's ears.
The ministers heaved a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned."We will take our leave."
Immediately, they formed a long line and withdrew from the throne room one after another. A moment later, they all left.
After Zhu Moxie saw that everyone had left, he bowed to Zhu Jianshen and said,""Your son still has matters to attend to. Farewell."
Zhu Jianshen nodded and was not worried at all. Now that his son already had the divine item that could take a person's life silently, he did not have to worry about his safety at all.
However, just in case, he still instructed Shang Ming,""Eunuch Shang, escort the Crown Prince back to the Crown Prince Residence.”
"This servant accepts the order."
After Shang Ming replied, he followed behind Zhu Moxie and slowly walked out of the throne room.
......
In the reception hall of the Crown Prince's Residence, Zhu Moxie was squatting on a soft mahogany chair. His originally cold face was slightly distorted, and his eyelids were slightly twitching.
Before Shang Ming could bootlick, he saw that the Crown Prince's face was somewhat pale and there was some pain on his face. He was shocked.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" he asked hurriedly.”
Zhu Moxie didn't answer him. He stretched out his trembling little hand hidden in his sleeve.
His entire palm was twisted to varying degrees, and the skin was blood-red. Clearly, it was caused by the rupture of the capillaries and the influx of blood. There were some hard objects protruding from his wrist.
It was obvious that his phalanx was fractured and his wrist was dislocated!
The recoil of the two shots just now was not something that a two or three-year-old child could withstand. If he had not been familiar with the characteristics of firearms in his previous life and had not reduced the force to the greatest extent, his hand would have been crippled on the spot.
Just now, in the imperial court, he had deliberately killed Wang Zhi forcefully to create a deterrent. Then, he fired a shot to intimidate everyone, creating an invincible and arrogant tyrant image that could scare everyone.
Now that the situation had been decided, the moment he arrived at his residence, the cold expression on his face could no longer be disguised.
Zhu Moxie shook his head and sighed to himself,""This body is still too weak…"
"Time to cultivate…"
