Zhu Youzhen grabbed a piece of pressed book jade in his hand and kept turning it, with a somewhat frightened look on his face.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want the Ming Dynasty to be lost in his hands. The Ming Dynasty has been passed down for more than 200 years since Emperor Taizu Gao, and it has bred and fed the millions of royal families of the Zhu family. If the Ming Dynasty is cut off in the hands of Zhu Youzhen, what face does Zhu Youzhen have to see the ancestors and ancestors.

But looking at the current situation, the situation has gotten out of control.

Li Zhi kept encroaching on Zhu Youzhen's world, and now the people's hearts in the world are almost impossible to recover.

If Li Zhi in the past still gave Zhu Youzhen a sense of security, it was because Li Zhi only had a tiger army, but he did not have the righteousness and reputation to seize the world. Li Zhi has always appeared in front of the world as a loyal minister and good general of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the people of one town and nine provinces, or the people of other parts of the Ming Dynasty understand this.

If Lee Sik rebelled, he would be opposed by the world. If Li Zhi rebelled against the infamy of rebellious ministers and thieves, even if he succeeded, it would be full of hidden dangers, not to mention leaving a shameful record in history, the fact that he rebelled with powerful ministers alone would make the new dynasty have no legitimacy.

An empire without legitimacy is fragile, and the generals in power will initiate one downward attack after another, as if the plot was constantly unfolding during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Or because the founding emperor had no legitimacy and no self-confidence, he used various means to restrict the hands and feet of the generals, and finally was bullied and conquered by foreign enemies because the army had no combat effectiveness, just like the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen did not believe that Li Zhi would give up the eternal name of the King of Qi in the Ming Dynasty, give up his position above 10,000 people under one person, give up the power to actually rule one town and nine provinces, and create a new dynasty with no legitimacy.

But now it's different.

Now Li Zhi forced Zhu Youzhen to abolish Confucianism and abolish the monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons who maintained the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Li Zhi forced Zhu Youzhen to publicize public morality throughout the country and use public morality to take the exam. As a result, the people of the whole country understand that only officials who benefit the people are good officials, and only a court that is rich and strong is a good court.

Zhu Youzhen's imperial examination background civil officials are obviously not good officials, and Zhu Youzhen's dull court is definitely not a good court compared to Li Zhi's one town and nine provincial governments.

The people of the world looked at the wealth and prosperity of one town and nine provinces, and then saw the dim Ming Dynasty, and they were resentful.

This resentment grew day by day, and with the collapse of Confucianism and the spread of the idea of public morality, it lost its restraint.

The poor people of Daimyo Prefecture couldn't stand it anymore, they saw the most prosperity and were stimulated the most, and they rose up angrily. And the people in other places are not much better, and the news will eventually spread the truth everywhere, and the resentment of the people will one day explode.

The people of Daimyo Prefecture wanted Li Zhi to rule Daimyo Prefecture instead of Zhu Youzhen.

And it won't be long before the people of the whole world want Li Zhi to rule the country instead of the Ming Emperor. This is the real situation that Zhu Youzhen's civil officials and Dongchang fans have seen all over the country, and there is no need to doubt it at all.

In this way, Li Zhi has always lacked the righteous name.

It's not that Li Zhi himself wants to oppose the Ming Dynasty, it's that the people of the world want Li Zhi to replace him.

In another three years, when more and more people oppose the imperial court and yearn for Li Zhi, the imperial court may not be able to control the situation at all. In another six years, when the officials selected by the public morality examination become local officials, Li Zhi may be able to recruit all the local officials of the Ming Dynasty with a single piece of paper, and overthrow the Ming Dynasty without blood.

Zhu Youzhen desperately turned the pressed book jade in his hand, his eyes full of anxiety.

He felt like he was losing the world at a rapid pace.

Zhang Guanghang observed the face of the Son of Heaven, gritted his teeth, and knelt on the ground.

"Holy Lord, the Daming Jiangshan Society is in danger! Please make a decision as soon as possible! ”

Zhu Youzhen's hands trembled when he heard this, and he dropped the pressed Shuyu on the ground.

With a bang, the jade piece shattered into three pieces and shattered to the ground.

Wang Chengen's eyes closed and his teeth gritted, knowing that the matter was over. He opened his eyes and knelt on the ground, picking up the three pieces of broken jade.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Guanghang with some horror, looking at this well-known leader of the "Law Reform Faction".

Zhang Guanghang once spoke for Li Zhi, and was once regarded as Li Zhi's henchman by the Donglin Party, which controlled the government. At that time, the Donglin Party spread rumors inside and outside the capital, saying that Zhang Guanghang and Li Zhi had an affair, and after Li Zhi rebelled, he wanted to appoint Zhang Guanghang as the first assistant and seal the founding of the country.

Even Zhu Youzhen once suspected that Zhang Guanghang and Li Zhi had a good relationship.

But in fact, Zhang Guanghang was not helping Li Zhi, but the Son of Heaven who was determined to change the law at that time. At that time, Zhu Youzhen was held hostage by civil officials and could not be independent, and Zhang Guanghang jumped out to speak for Li Zhi's Tianjin, which was actually speaking for the new law of the Son of Heaven.

However, after the Donglin Party collapsed and Li Zhi persecuted the imperial court, Zhang Guanghang immediately stood on the opposite side of Li Zhi. Zhang Guanghang even openly opposed Li Zhi, denounced Li Zhi, and organized a group of people to confront Cui Changwu, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Zhang Guanghang has always been a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, feeling that Li Zhi's forces were about to subvert the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Guanghang was as anxious as Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven.

What Zhang Guanghang said was "making a decision early", but in fact he persuaded Zhu Youzhen to take action.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Guanghang, his face was red and white, white and red.

Do it to Li Zhi? How to do it.

Wang Chengen looked at Zhang Guanghang, who was kneeling on the ground, and took a breath.

He was about to speak, but he saw Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang, standing next to him, stand up.

Wang Dehua suddenly howled, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Holy Lord, the situation in Daimyo County is not an isolated case. With the understanding of the slave and maid, the entire Ming Dynasty is full of complaints. If this goes on for five years, I'm afraid that Li Zhi doesn't need to rebel, and the people of the world will rebel against the Ming Dynasty! ”

Wang Dehua said loudly: "Holy Lord! The Holy One has made a decision early! ”

Zhu Youzhen leaned on the back of the throne and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he said: "King Qi's soldiers are strong and strong... You let me decide... How to decide? ”

Wang Dehua kowtowed on the ground with a puff and said loudly: "Holy Lord! The slave maid had news that the Ottomans, Persians, and Indians in the far west had joined forces to attack Li Zhi's southern army. Li Zhi felt that the south was tight, and had already transferred 30,000 tiger troops to the south. ”

"Over the years, Li Zhi has been exploring overseas, and Tianjin's Tiger Ben Army has been adjusted again and again, and now these 30,000 are gone, and there are only 50,000 Tiger Ben left in Tianjin."

Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Dehua in a panic.

Wang Dehua said loudly: "Holy Lord! All of Li Zhi's industrial bases, logistics bases, arms supply factories, and silver grain storage and transportation warehouses are all in Tianjin. We have 200,000 new troops. As long as the 200,000 new army sends an edict to the world to crusade against the traitor Li Zhi, and sends troops to the east to occupy Tianjin, Li Zhi's overseas territory will be water without a source and a tree without roots, and it will collapse in less than a year! ”
