Zhao Zheng could kill Cao Jin because eunuchs were servants of the Emperor. Zhao Zheng could do whatever he wanted with them. Outsiders could not say anything.
However, Zhao Zheng couldn't treat his subjects like this, even if he was an emperor.
If Zhao Zheng wanted to kill a minister, he had to have a valid reason.
Otherwise, as the emperor, killing his subjects as he wished would make the hearts of the scholars in the world turn cold. If no one worked for the emperor in the future, how could he still be the emperor?
Therefore, if Zhao Zheng wanted to kill those people kneeling outside, he needed some evidence!
After receiving Zhao Zheng's order, Gu Dayou did not dare to delay and immediately went down to do it.
Because Zhao Zheng only gave him one day.
After Gu Dayou left, Zhao Zheng also stood up and left the royal study.
Those memorials were all nonsense. Reading them would only increase his worries.
At this moment, Zhao Zheng was a little annoyed.
Because he remembered that in the original plot, after the new year this year, at the beginning of spring, the foreign tribes on the grasslands would invade the Central Plains 'Grass Valley!
Grass valley is a slang term, meaning to plunder the people.
Just like during the late Ming Dynasty, Slave Jian often plundered the Han people's resources in the south. The Great Xia Dynasty was also facing the predicament of the late Ming Dynasty. Not only were there internal troubles, but there were also external troubles. The foreign tribes had always been eyeing the Central Plains like tigers eyeing their prey.
It was already the end of the year. Counting the time, there were only two to three months left until the invasion of the grassland.
In the original novel, the foreign tribes had invaded the south and won a massive victory. They were invincible along the way, and in the end, they had actually reached the capital, where their troops were at the city gates.
In fact, the foreign tribes of the grasslands did not have the ability to attack the capital.
However, the fatuous ruler in the original novel was still so frightened that he ceded his territory and paid compensation. He lost all his face before letting the alien race bring back the rich spoils of war.
This incident also made more people realize that the Great Xia Dynasty was doomed!
As a result, rebellions broke out everywhere.
The reason why Zhao Zheng remembered it so clearly was because in the original novel, the main character would be the top scorer in high school in the spring examination next year…
If Zhao Zheng didn't want the original plot to play out and didn't want the foreign tribes to trample on the Central Plains, he had to make preparations now.
But right now, the entire Imperial Court was still engaged in conflicts of interest and factions!
As the Emperor, how could Zhao Zheng be happy?
……
After leaving the royal study, Zhao Zheng headed straight for Earth Tranquility Palace.
In the past few days, he had been reluctant to part with Shangguan Wan 'er's delicate body, so he couldn't help but be a little cold to the Empress. He planned to visit the Empress and have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
The Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Zhao Zheng strode into the Palace of Earthly Tranquility and discovered that there was a young girl waiting for him in addition to the Empress.
The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She looked delicate and pretty, and her facial features were somewhat similar to Zhao Zheng's.
"ChenQie greets the emperor."
"Lan Ling greets Imperial Brother."
Empress Xiao Yuzhen and the young girl bowed to Zhao Zheng.
Hearing the young girl's self-address, Zhao Zheng finally remembered who she was.
It was the younger sister of this body, Princess Lan Ling.
Seeing Princess Lan Ling, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but recall the original plot.
Because according to the original plot, this Princess Lan Ling also had a lot of scenes. Later on, she would have a deep entanglement with the original protagonist!
In the original plot, Princess Lan Ling should have already been engaged to the second son of the Duke of Wei.
However, the second son of the Duke of Wei was a typical hedonistic son. He knew everything about fighting cocks and walking dogs. He often lingered in fireworks venues and was in a mess. He had damaged his body at a young age…
Princess Lan Ling was naturally unwilling to marry such a person.
However, this marriage was set by the previous emperor!
Now that the previous emperor was not around, the only person who could make decisions was Zhao Zheng.
In the original plot, Princess Lan Ling begged the fatuous ruler several times, hoping to cancel the engagement, but she was mercilessly rejected by the fatuous ruler and was even reprimanded by the fatuous ruler.
After Princess Lan Ling married into the family, Second Young Master Wei actually died of a stroke during their nuptial night…
Princess Lan Ling, who had just married into the family, suddenly became a living widow.
The Wei family even blamed the death of Second Young Master Wei on Princess Lan Ling. They thought that Princess Lan Ling was a jinx who had killed her husband as soon as they married.
If Lan Ling wasn't a princess, she would have been dealt with by the Wei Family long ago.
Even so, her in-laws loathed her and her royal brother did not like her, causing Princess Lan Ling to wash her face in tears every day and live a life worse than death.
Later on, the protagonist entered the capital. During a Mid-Autumn Festival festival, he met Princess Lan Ling, who had fallen into the water while she was out to relax. The protagonist " acted bravely " and saved Princess Lan Ling. Later, he was tempted by Princess Lan Ling's beauty and began to pursue her.
The protagonist in the original novel was a scumbag who loved everyone he saw.
Although Princess Lan Ling had not been living well, she had always abided by her womanly principles. Naturally, she had sternly rejected the main character.
But the protagonist was the protagonist, and there was the protagonist halo!
The girl that the protagonist had taken a fancy to naturally wouldn't be able to escape so easily.
By chance, the protagonist and the Wei family's eldest young master formed a deep friendship and could enter and leave the Wei family freely.
This was great. The main character could often see Princess Lan Ling and immediately start chasing after her…
In the end, after an accidental drunkenness, Princess Lan Ling still couldn't escape from the protagonist's clutches and had an ill-fated relationship with the protagonist.
After that, Princess Lan Ling had indeed helped the protagonist a lot, making the relationship between the protagonist and the Wei family even deeper.
However, Princess Lan Ling did not expect that the protagonist would rebel and that the Wei family's eldest son would also respond.
Princess Lan Ling couldn't bear to see the Great Xia Dynasty fall, so she poisoned the food and wine at a banquet, killing the Wei family and herself…
This was the tragic life of Princess Lan Ling!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng suddenly smiled.
Since he was Princess Lan Ling's elder brother, he would not let his sister's tragedy repeat itself!
