Chapter 2641: Nature is hard to change
This day.
Wen Rensheng and others got the news.
The emperor began to take the royal children on hunting expeditions.
The four immediately realized that this might be an opportunity.
After all, it is easier to get information when going hunting than huddled in the palace.
Many assassinations occur during hunting.
They followed immediately.
The Royal Hunting Ground is located in a large mountain forest in the southern suburbs.
Originally, civil servants restricted the emperor from doing this.
But after the emperor succeeded in cultivating immortality, no one could restrict him.
It is said that the previous emperor wanted to go hunting. The first civil servant took the emperor directly to a ruined garden and said, "This is the royal hunting ground."
After the emperor saw it, Returned disappointed.
No civil servants were punished.
If it were the Manchus, they would have been punished for deceiving the emperor long ago.
This is the nature of civil servants who bully the weak and fear the strong.
The four of them came to the mountains and forests in the southern suburbs.
Looking from a distance, there is a large fence that sparsely isolates the mountain forest from other places.
There are wooden signs and stone tablets on it.
"Royal South Hunting Ground."
"Idle people are not allowed to hunt or chop firewood here. Violators will be punished with death."
"As expected, the emperor is overbearing. Just because the emperor has practiced cultivation does not mean that the people will be at ease." The novice man said with disdain.
The four of them quietly climbed over the fence and ambush directly in a mountain forest.
I don’t know how much time passed before I heard a sound of blowing.
That is court music.
There was also the sound of men and horses boiling.
“The emperor is here!”
Everyone quickly looked out from the tree.
On one avenue, there was a team stretching for several miles.
In the front is a guard of honor, on both sides are horse teams, and in the middle is a dragon chariot.
Sixty-four people were required to carry it, and the area was at least hundreds of square meters. It was probably equipped with all kinds of facilities.
These sixty-four people all look like ordinary people.
The strength is at least two or three tons.
In this way, they can lift hundreds of tons of things.
And it is lifted very smoothly, with human body springs and human body shock absorption.
If you look closely, the curtain blocks your view.
After a while, the emperor began to give orders.
Wen Rensheng used a skill, Mirror Flower, Water Moon, to reflect the distant scene.
I saw the emperor saying a few words to a red-robed eunuch.
The other party immediately trotted back.
Soon, two princes on horseback dismounted and came over.
“I have met my father.”
“Okay, the sun is clear today, it’s a good time for hunting.”
“You go hunting separately, whoever has more will get a big reward "The emperor said calmly.
“Yes, Father.”
The two princes looked at each other and smiled.
They immediately took their guards and patted their horses into the hunting ground.
At this time.
The senior man frowned, he seemed to have discovered something.
The novice man said directly: "Strange, why do I feel that the relationship between the emperor and his son is a bit hypocritical?"
"It's hypocritical to begin with. How can the royal family have true feelings?" the novice girl asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem with this?"
"That's what I say, but I always feel that the emperor is trying to drive a wedge between the two children. The relationship between them, and he seems to want to suppress his prince," the novice man said again.
"Huh, it's nothing more than a fight. The emperor is a cultivator of immortality, and he must be careful of his children's cultivation progress exceeding him."
"In this case, then follow the resource flow to cultivate immortality, the one with the most resources He is the emperor, so he is naturally the fastest in cultivation," the novice man said.
"Any cultivator, as long as it involves cultivation, there is a saying of understanding. What if the emperor's understanding is not as good as the prince?" the novice girl asked.
"That is to say, the Immortal Dynasty is also internally unstable. The emperor will also be suspicious of his subordinates, but he also needs resources from the people below him. No matter how good he is, he is still 24 hours a day, so he cannot do everything by himself."
< br>"Yes, this is the contradiction. In order for subordinates to provide resources for cultivating immortals, they must be introduced to the Tao. After introducing them, there is a risk of betrayal. After all, no matter how great the immortal method is, as long as you are willing to learn and accumulate it, you can slowly You will understand, you will be able to improve, you will be able to innovate," the senior man sighed.
The four of them looked at each other and they all felt that something was going to happen today.
Sure enough.
An hour later.
The two princes were hunting in the huge mountain forest when suddenly someone attacked them.
They use a kind of Thorn Immortal Crossbow, which is specially designed to break the self-protection of the immortal cultivators.
“Be careful!”
“Someone is attacking!”
“Damn, who is so bold!”
The attackers left just as quickly as they came.
Wen Rensheng was indifferent, and the three of them looked at each other.
"Someone actually assassinated the prince. Why do I feel like it was directed and acted by the emperor?"
The two princes were very frightened.
Although they practice, the effect is not very good because they are too focused.
Of course, the most important thing is that the emperor will not give them important resources.
Don’t let them practice too quickly.
They were almost assassinated just now.
There are many powerful people who have been assassinated in history.
Sun Ce is even more famous.
Even for the emperor of this dynasty, he got into a fire, got into trouble, and was strangled by a palace maid, all of which really happened.
This makes them have to be afraid.
At this time.
The emperor came to comfort the two.
“For your safety, we can’t let you out anymore.”
"And one of you has no heirs, and each of you only has one."
"It's easy to have an accident."
"What should I do with the Ming Dynasty?"
"They want Threatening me by killing you, so that I can never succeed!"
"Some people want to seize my country in this way, and we, the father and son, will never let them succeed."
< br>
When the prince heard this, he understood his father's hint:
This was done by other vassal kings.
After all, their father was able to succeed the great unification with a small sect only because the first emperor succeeded him.
As a result, his cousin got a huge advantage.
A majestic emperor, so many women, can't even give birth to children.
Persistence leaves people speechless.
Some said it was due to physical reasons, some said it was due to palace fighting, and some said it was due to overindulging and losing Yuanyang early.
After everyone heard this, they all said: "These damn rebels, we must kill them all!"
"Your Majesty, a few years ago you said that there were demons from outside the territory causing trouble. Could it be that? They?" an important minister guessed.
"It's very possible." King Yu said angrily.
Wen Rensheng was speechless. He didn't do anything and just took the big pot. Who can he ask to explain this?
Then the emperor achieved his goal.
After placing his two sons under house arrest in the palace, a large number of imperial guards were sent to take care of them.
And send in a widow every three months.
A widow can give birth to a son.
Newlyweds are uncertain about having children.
Then, from this day forward.
The emperor began to change.
He began to squeeze the people again.
In order to practice better and faster, and to distance himself from others, he began to use some methods of drinking poison to quench his thirst.
After the four people saw it, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."
"Yeah, it's really interesting. After practicing, I thought he could get better."
"It turned out to be just a disguise."
"Yes, at first he made the people feel better, but it was just for the good fortune of the dynasty."
"Now that he feels the threat from us, he gives up on the people of the dynasty again and chooses some quick success methods." At this time.
The emperor ordered the people to grow various elixirs.
And these elixirs can only be used exclusively by the emperor.
It is very difficult and hard to grow ordinary crops.
Until hundreds of years later, farmers were still synonymous with poverty.
It will only be easier if you advance to become a farmer. Even then, you still need a lot of subsidies. Otherwise, there is no hope of making much profit.
The people suffered terribly as a result.
And something even more terrifying happened.
The emperor must step up his efforts to ascend to immortality.
To ascend to immortality requires more external things besides luck.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar.
Both the wealthy families and the common people began to feel nervous.
Sure enough, the emperor sent factory guards to various places to collect elixirs and spiritual stones.
Require them to hand over these resources immediately.
Only by handing over those resources can the family continue, otherwise, they will be killed.
Originally, there were no such things in this world.
But after the emperor succeeded in cultivating immortality, they began to appear one after another.
This is a process of spiritual recovery.
At the beginning, the emperor regarded the entire dynasty as his own, and was willing to resist the desire to quickly plunder and exploit for the sake of the dynasty's fortune.
He even gave some of his resources to others to expand his foundation and increase the labor force used for cultivation.
However, in the face of new threats, the emperor once again returned to his original state.
Including this time, he thought that the princes were going to rebel, which was also a misunderstanding.
After Wen Rensheng and others disguised themselves, he could not see where the threat was.
But I can feel threatened.
He mistook it for the threat posed by the prince.
In addition, the princes did say this in private:
"If this continues, my father will live forever, when will I be able to ascend the throne?"
"How can there be no one in the world? The prince of ten thousand years? "
As soon as such words came out, the emperor naturally thought that they were colluding with the demons from outside the territory and wanted to rebel.
So after being good to the people in the first few years, Emperor Jiajing has now begun to return to his original form.
In the TV series, he didn’t change in the end, but died.
Do you think he can live another forty years, will he repent?
No.
This is the nature of this person.
Steal the world to satisfy one person.
Powerful tactics are used for one's own use.
Suffering from the common people, practicing Taoism is the first.
Wen Rensheng shook his head.
If he were not afraid of scaring away the main god, he could control the mysterious seed and create an illusion after increasing the power of Xiao Huan.
The true nature of this emperor could be exposed early on.
And it’s not too late.
What kind of virtue is the emperor? Even if he succeeds in cultivating immortality, his own nature will still be the same and it is impossible to change.
At this time.
Hai Rui appears again.
He went to write again.
“Those who cultivate immortality also cultivate human beings.”
“Unless a saint dies, thieves will never stop.”
“If you don’t cultivate human beings, how can you talk about cultivating immortality?”
>"If the people of the dynasty are destroyed, how will the emperor survive?"
"I can only persist for a while, but I cannot persist for a lifetime."
"In this case, the cultivation of this immortal will be in vain."
Of course, it is not so vain...
It means this.
He cursed the emperor.
Originally, the emperor was furious and wanted to kill Hai Rui.
But when he saw the end, he suddenly woke up.
This is not right.
His immortal is obviously a luck immortal, why is this happening?
Why is he so obsessed that he starts to exploit the people again?
Got it, he must be possessed.
This is the work of the devil.
Then he began to try to change himself.
But no one believes him anymore.
The forces everywhere began to think about how to kill the emperor...
And at this time.
Seeing the emperor's behavior, the four people couldn't help but start discussing.
The novice man said: "In my opinion, this emperor is nothing more than that."
"He is not a good person to begin with. As long as he changes slightly, as long as he cultivates immortality without the participation of the people , He doesn't care about the life and death of the people."
"Yes, even if it is changed temporarily, it is only temporary."
"This is the case in history. He only wanted to live forever, and even forced everyone to build palaces for him."
"It was obvious that those palaces were of no use, so for this reason, he also created a strict D and made many conspiracies. Lest others know that he is the mastermind behind it.”
“Everyone knows the result.”
“The so-called power play is a joke.”
"In this case, if we get rid of him, there will be no psychological burden." The senior said.
"Yes, after this small change, we know that relying on this emperor is not reliable at all. He will not really think about the people."
"So we have to overthrow him and rebuild New Daming.”
Everyone made a decision.
At this time, someone also started to contact everyone, looking for a way to kill the immortal.
“It seems that the heroes have the same idea.”
"We cannot let the immortals exploit all the people."
The three of them asked Wen Rensheng for advice.
"If you want to kill the immortal, you have to cut off the emperor's roots." Wen Rensheng said, "The emperor used the Ming Dynasty to cultivate, so we will cut off the dynasty's worship of him."
"To put it bluntly It means that more people will not recognize him as the emperor in their hearts."
"If everyone believes in him on the outside but doesn't believe in him on the inside, then he is finished."
"Why couldn't Chongzhen order a minister in the end? It was because he repeatedly let ministers take the blame, and everyone didn't believe him."
Everyone understood and took action immediately.
Their action was naturally to inform the common people and gentry about this matter.
Gentlemen are naturally not good people.
But it does not prevent the use of one or two.
Sure enough, after these people understood this, they immediately secretly ordered the people to rule and no longer followed the emperor.
They said privately that Jiajing was dead and now Emperor Dachang is on the throne...
Good guy, these gentry are much more courageous than Wen Rensheng and others imagined.
They also couldn't stand an immortal emperor.
This means they will always be squeezed.
In this way, the emperor's memory in the minds of the people became increasingly shallow.
There is a saying that imperial power does not go to the countryside.
The local people knew the gentry even more than the emperor from afar.
As soon as this happened, the emperor quickly realized something was wrong.
Da Ming’s luck has not changed, but he can absorb less and less.
"Damn it, who is causing trouble?"
He quickly deduce the world and saw that gentry everywhere were quietly telling the people to change the Yuan Dynasty!
In fact, there is no need for him to deduce it, the factory guard will report it!
“It’s not bad, they are a bunch of unruly people!”
“Catch me, kill me!”
"What a deception!"
He immediately sent someone to arrest him.
However, he was disappointed.
Because they are like this everywhere and you can’t catch them.
The most fundamental thing is that the gentry is not on his side.
In the past, he had no magic or cultivation, so he knew how to use power because he was worried about being abandoned by the gentry.
He needs reputation and legitimacy, but he is worried that if his reputation is bad, no one will recognize him as the emperor.
