"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor!”
The Iron Hat Kings all knelt down and saluted the Emperor of Guang Dong.
"Rise!" The emperor said expressionlessly.
"Thank you, Emperor!" Only then did the princes stand up.
The Emperor of Guang Dong guessed that these guys were here to cause trouble. Twelve Iron Hat Kings coming together could be considered a big formation. Among them, there were even children. Among them, Prince Rui of First Rank was only nine years old and Prince Shun Cheng was only four years old.
"My lords, why have you entered the palace this time?”The Emperor of Guang Dong didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
The kings all looked at each other, but no one dared to openly ask.
Although Emperor Guang Dong was young, he was still the Emperor of the Ming Empire!
Especially when there were rumors that he was the one who poisoned the Empress Dowager. It could be seen how ruthless his methods were. These princes naturally didn't want to get into trouble.
When the Gong Prince saw this, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"These cowards are actually afraid at the last moment.”The Gong Prince cursed in his heart.
But now that things had come to this, could everyone still retreat? If they backed down this time, they would have no chance to control the Emperor of Guang Dong!
Thus, the Gong Prince braced himself and spoke.
"Emperor, this official heard a rumor that the emperor cut off his long hair. Therefore, this subject boldly asks the emperor to take off the imperial crown and let this subject take a look.”
"How dare you! Gong Prince, are you trying to offend your superior?”The chief eunuch, Zhang Haojie, berated.
"You're the bold one! Since when could eunuchs interfere in politics in my Ming Empire?”How could the Gong Prince be scared by a eunuch?
Zhang Haojie couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
The emperor cursed Zhang Haojie for being useless.
"Little Hao, step down!" said the emperor of Guang Dong.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Haojie quickly retreated to the side.
"Is that what all of you mean?”The Emperor of Guang Dong asked.
These princes were a little afraid. However, they all nodded.
"Alright, since you want to see it, I'll show it to you!”The Emperor of Guang Dong took off his crown.
Thus, a bald head was revealed in front of everyone.
"Ah!"
"The Emperor really shaved his head!"
"Ancestors! How did this happen?"
"How could the Emperor do this!"
All the kings cried out in alarm, especially those who were older. They cried bitterly, thinking that the Emperor of Guang Dong was treasonous and did not care about the etiquette of his ancestors at all!
The Gong Prince's eyes were filled with amusement. In his eyes, the Emperor of Guang Dong was simply courting death!
"Shut up! Wasn't it just a shave and a haircut? What was the big deal? The soldiers of the new army trained every day and were drenched in sweat. Having long hair was not only difficult to wash, but it also affected personal hygiene. Especially when the weather was hot, it would hide filth, breed bacteria, and produce things like fleas and lice. It would be much more convenient if he cut off his long hair. In order to set an example for the soldiers, I shaved my head and cut my long hair.”said the emperor of Guang Dong.
"Emperor, this is not in line with the ancestral etiquette!”Prince Yi said.
"Yes, Emperor. How could she cut her hair so casually?”Prince Chun also spoke.
The kings all expressed different opinions.
However, they only had one meaning, and that was that the Emperor of Guangyao had shaved his head and cut his hair. This was against the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and there were even signs of the destruction of the country!
"Alright! It's not as serious as you say. I've already cut my hair. Am I not the Emperor of the Ming Empire? Or are you going to rebel?”Guang Zhou emperor questioned.
"We dare not!" The princes hurriedly replied.
Rebellion was a death sentence! Even if they were hereditary iron hat kings, they would still die without a doubt! No one dared to admit that they wanted to rebel.
"Emperor, growing hair is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. If you go against the ancestral system, the country will not be a country! Your Majesty, please retract your order!" The Gong Prince knelt on the ground.
"Emperor, please retract your order!" The other princes also knelt on the ground.
The emperor's expression turned serious. He knew that these guys wanted to force the abdication.
However, he would never back down on this issue.
"Zhen has already made up his mind. There is no need for everyone to say anything more. Unless I don't want to be the emperor anymore. Otherwise, I won't have braids anymore!”The Emperor of Vast Expanse was equally resolute.
