boom!

A loud bang rang near the Imperial City!

And there were several explosions in succession.

However, these explosions are precise explosions, rather than igniting a large amount of gunpowder directly.

The main explosion site was selected as a test gun field outside the Ordnance Bureau. Of course, in order to create the effect of an explosion in the Ordnance Bureau, the gates and external buildings of the Ordnance Bureau were blown up, but the internal facilities and important documents were still well preserved.

Moreover, in order to convince the officials of the central government temples and temples in the Daming Gate that an explosion occurred, Zhu Houzhao specially asked the Jinyiwei to set off several boxes of large firecrackers near the Daming Gate.

at this time.

When the explosions were heard one after another, officials from various departments of the central court were still working, so they all heard the sound and even felt the earth shaking.

"What happened?" Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, suddenly asked.

"It seems like an explosion from the Ordnance Bureau. I heard that Your Majesty is going to the Ordnance Bureau to inspect today," Du Long, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly said at this time.

It was Du Long, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, who made the Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng and the officials present look tight, and they suddenly thought that something might be dangerous for His Majesty.

Recently, because the court wants to ban the craftsmanship system, many major cases have occurred one after another. Either the court’s orders were killed or the nobles were bombed. Civil officials can guess who was behind the scenes, and naturally they all guessed that if His Majesty wanted to act alone, they might attack His Majesty.

Although many civil servants have guessed this, not many civil servants are willing to remind Zhu Houzhao, one is that they are prone to rebel, and the other is that they actually wish that the emperor will be killed. Although the consequences of their own murder of the emperor may have serious consequences, they will not stop others from not trying to murder the emperor.

Now that he thought that the emperor might have been killed, the Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng showed a happy smile on his lips, but then he immediately raised his face and said solemnly: "Let's go and see!"

So, many civil servants rushed over with the explosion. Many civil servants were very excited and wanted to see Zhu Houzhao's body. After all, the emperor who was determined to reform has caused them too much. They first made the exam into a law. Now, as long as anyone who proposed the lecture, they would have to write a ten thousand words of scriptures every day to submit the lecture, which made these civil servants unable to bear it.

At this time, Zeng Jian, the Minister of Works, ran away with a roll of dragon robe that had been burned to the point where only half of it was left. When he saw these civil servants coming, he started to cry:

"Everyone! An accident occurred in the Ordnance Bureau, and His Majesty was blown up, and there was no trace of people, only this half-rolled dragon robe was left, woo woo!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has passed away? Ahhahahahahahaha..."

Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, asked, and then laughed instinctively, but then he realized that he might be a little out of control. At this time, he should be extremely sad and excited, so he hurriedly shouted again:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You have died in the middle of your business before you start your business. It's really God doesn't bless me to the Ming Dynasty! Woo woo! Why did you go!"

"Your Majesty! Woo woo!"

The other civil servants also started to cry.

Xia Yan, who was responsible for supervising Zeng Jian's acting, saw the civil servants crying, and then he laughed secretly. He then shouted, "Shangguan, please feel sorry for me, now I'll ask you all to make an idea!"

"Now Your Majesty has passed away. Although he is extremely sad, the country cannot have a king for a day. Naturally, he must find a way to establish a new crown prince first. But now that Your Majesty has no son, he can only choose from the vassal kings. However, before choosing a vassal king, he must first kill the treacherous slander in the court, and use your Majesty's will to inform the world, abolish the laws of chaos, and save the people from water and fire!"

Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, wiped his tears and said, then shouted loudly: "Everyone, since your Majesty has passed away, it is time to take this opportunity to abolish the policy of harming the country and the people before the new emperor established it, and kill the treacherous and slandered in the court. You said that's not right!"

"As Da Zongbo said, before the new dynasty was established, the previous dynasty should be released. We will enter the palace and ask the elders of the cabinet to plan a grand imperial edict!"

At this time, Ai Sheng, the minister, agreed with him loudly, and the other civil servants immediately followed him to cater to the palace city.

Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, read the words of Zeng Jian of the Minister of Works, and said with a smile: "If the new emperor is established, Mr. Zeng will be the first to be the best!"

Zeng Jian only smiled awkwardly and looked at Xia Yan beside him. He didn't dare to tell the truth.

At this time, Zhang Sheng ordered Du Long, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites: "Tell Eunuch Zhang and Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Feng, and say that Your Majesty was unfortunately killed. Let them come to work quickly for the overall situation of the Qing Palace Cabinet and the Sili Supervision Office!"

For a moment, the civil servants rushed to the palace city like chicken blood. Gao Feng, who was in charge of the palace guards, asked: "What are you doing!"

"Eunuch Gao, Your Majesty has passed away. I'm going to report it to the cabinet masters. You can let us in!" Gao Feng was stunned when the Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng said this, and he murmured: "Your Majesty has passed away? This...this, Your Majesty!"

Gao Feng really started crying, feeling sad and demented, and forgot to stop the civil servants, so the civil servants broke in directly.

Not long after, the group of civil servants came to the Cabinet and the Sili Supervisor's Office and informed the Cabinet's Chief Minister Ma Wensheng, the Second Assistant Jiao Fang, the Third Assistant Xu Jin, and the Sili Supervisor's Officer Yin Liu Jin and others.

The cabinet chief Ma Wensheng and others were struck by lightning after hearing the news of Zhu Houzhao's death. Ma Wensheng almost fainted directly. Fortunately, nitroglycerin was prolonged, and Jiao Fang and Xu Jin were also scared and almost failed to stand firm. Jiao Fang was even supported by Liu Jin, and Liu Jin himself was so scared that his pen fell to the ground.

But what these people did not expect was that after learning that His Majesty had passed away, these civil servants rushed to the cabinet and the Sili Supervision Office so quickly. This was obviously coming to seize power!

The Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng stood up first: "Sir, Lord! Your Majesty has passed away, but the emperor's will has not yet been issued yet. I also asked the cabinet master to write the will!

Abolish the examination method!

The military system of the Guards and four departments, one department and one court were abolished, and the Beijing camp and the imperial guard system were changed to the Beijing camp!

Reclaim the policy of abolishing the craftsmanship system!

Abolish the constitutional outline!

Demolition of the Beijing University!

Withdraw the post of governor of Nanzhili, abolish the agreement and the Southern Zhili Convention!"

"That's it! Please ask the Chief Auxiliary to quickly issue the will, promulgate the world, abolish the new policies, and treat the scholars and officials with preferential treatment!"

"Please issue a will to rehabilitate the wronged prison and release the officials arrested by the East Factory!"

All the civil servants stood up and said aggressively to Ma Wensheng and others.

Seeing this, Ma Wensheng couldn't help but blushed: "You! You are so anxious! Your Majesty has just passed away and his body is not cold. He just came to force me in such a hurry. I will never obey your mercy! I will go against Your Majesty's last wishes!"

"We are really arrogant! We are cabinet ministers. After receiving the imperial edict of Your Majesty, we uphold the national affairs. How can we allow you to be so arrogant? I advise you to retreat quickly! Otherwise, you will be rebelling!" Jiao Fang also scolded.

"Ma Wensheng! Jiao Fang! Your Majesty has passed away now! You are over! Do you think the officials and gentry in the world are really willing to follow you to reform? You have already caused criticism from the gentry in the world, and you have not taken advantage of this order to prove that you are innocent. Could it be that you really want to be a bad person for thousands of years?"
