Zhu Yijun was not without complaints about this double standard treatment, but it was obvious that compared to this kind of thing, the fight for the foundation of the nation posed a greater threat to him.
The officials forced him to abdicate again and again, and they all retreated unscathed, showing the true signs of the decline of the imperial power. He, who was powerless to fight back, was very depressed in this kind of situation.
It was understandable. Who dared to force Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate? Who dared to force Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate? Wasn't that courting death?
It was only because they were sure that they wouldn't die that they went to force him to abdicate.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruxun really felt that it was unfair for Zhu Yijun. As an emperor, he was not as comfortable as a landlord in the countryside. He ran amok in the countryside, bullied men and women, and preyed on the people as if nothing had happened. Everyone was used to it, but when the emperor did something, it was as if the sky was falling.
This was the sorrow of an emperor!
This time, if he succeeded and the emperor regained his power, he naturally wouldn't let those people have a good time. A complete reshuffle was inevitable, and his position would be quite awkward.
The emperor's heart was hard to predict. At that time, whether his existence would be beneficial or harmful to Zhu Yijun, perhaps even Zhu Yijun himself would be nervous. The so-called "hide the bow after all the birds are gone" was not far from the emperor and his officials.
But Xiao Ruxun still wasn't very worried, because there was still a long way to go before he succeeded.
It was so far that Xiao Ruxun himself couldn't see it clearly.
Losing power was a process, and taking it back was another process. Whether or not he could succeed was also uncertain. At least for now, the probability of failure was much higher than the probability of success.
This kind of thing did not exist in simple and crude ways. Those who could do it in simple and crude ways were the non-humans who had no moral pressure. The non-humans were the ones who conquered them. They had no moral pressure, no moral burden. As for those who believed themselves to be orthodox, if they wanted to do things, they had to follow the rules.
Those who violated the rules didn't have a good ending.
As the palanquin moved forward, Xiao Ruxun's thoughts became deeper and deeper. After a while, he let out a breath of turbid air and forced himself to stop thinking about those things. He lifted the curtain on his left and looked at what he could see.
In the deep night, only the brick walls could be seen. Xiao Ruxun pulled the curtain a little wider and looked around. He really couldn't tell where he was.
"How much longer until we get there?"
Xiao Ruxun asked.
"Replying to Duke Qin, it will be soon. It will only take two to three incense sticks of time!"
A sound came from outside.
Xiao Ruxun replied, "Oh."
It was much faster than before. Did they change their route?
That's right. Now that I'm living in a different place, and I'm much closer to the palace, it's only natural for me to be faster.
Xiao Ruxun didn't think too much about it and sat down calmly.
However, he had to admit that this palanquin was a little uncomfortable. At least compared to riding a horse, it was at least a little more comfortable. The palanquin swayed from side to side. If one wasn't used to sitting in a palanquin, he would feel nauseous.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the palanquin to stop. Xiao Ruxun lifted the curtain in front of him and looked in front of him. He found that he was at the gate of Dong 'an Gate. The man in black was talking in a low voice with a man wearing a soldier's uniform from the capital.
"This is Duke Qin. Open the gate!"
"Yes!"
Then, the soldiers opened the city gate.
The man in black returned to the palanquin and saw that Xiao Ruxun had opened the curtains to take a look. He said, "Duke Qin, the door is open. Don't worry, these are all our people, and they are all very reliable."
The palace gate?
Why were they at the palace gate?
Xiao Ruxun looked at the soldiers again.
"I remember that the defense of the inner city and the Imperial City are the responsibility of the Soaring Dragon Guards and the Brave Battalion. They are wearing Black Tiger Armor. Why are these people wearing the uniforms of the capital? Are they changing guards? "
The man in black froze for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes, they are indeed changing guards. The imperial palace doesn't have enough imperial guards, so the Dong 'an Gate was handed over to the Yulin Left Guard. His Majesty is also wondering if he should increase the number of people in the Soaring Dragon Guards."
The man in black didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go. His Majesty will be angry if we delay any longer."
The palanquin was lifted.
Then, it quickly entered the gate.
Xiao Ruxun lifted the curtain at the side and looked at the soldiers. He suddenly had a different feeling.
People who had been on the battlefield for a long time would hone an abnormally strong sixth sense. This kind of feeling was invisible and untouchable, but it could save your life in many cases. The several years of the Post-Apocalyptic Era, the several years of the Great Ming Dynasty, and more than ten years of life on the battlefield had honed Xiao Ruxun's rather sharp sixth sense.
Whenever his life was in danger, this kind of feeling was especially sharp.
When people did bad things, they would emit something known as malice towards the victim. This kind of thing didn't seem to exist, but it seemed to exist. It always gave people an inexplicable feeling. This kind of feeling seemed mysterious, but it was hard not to believe.
In that instant, Xiao Ruxun, who was originally a little hesitant, felt as if he had sensed something.
Just as the palanquin was about to pass through the Dong 'an Gate.
"Do it!"
The four people carrying the palanquin suddenly stopped in their tracks.
The black-clothed man suddenly heard a loud cry from the sedan behind him. He hurriedly turned around to look, but to his surprise, everything happened so suddenly.
"Eliminate traitors for the country! Kill the traitor Xiao! Brothers! Go!! "
Loud shouts came from all directions. At that moment, countless torches were suddenly lit up. No one knew where so many soldiers holding torches came from, but the soldiers on both sides of the city gate who had not closed the gate in time all pulled out their swords and rushed towards the palanquin.
At this moment, the man in black was lost in thought. He only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and then he felt a huge pressure coming from his neck, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"You dare to plot against me!!"
An angry roar.
In the next second, the man in black's neck was twisted into a rather strange shape, and then he was thrown to the ground by Xiao Ruxun. The two men carrying the palanquin beside him didn't have time to react either. They had just pulled out their daggers when Xiao Ruxun grabbed their necks.
They also breathed their last.
However, in the next moment, the soldiers who rushed towards Xiao Ruxun arrived in front of him. Xiao Ruxun directly picked up a dagger beside him and directly rushed forward. His speed was faster than the soldiers' imagination. In a face-to-face confrontation, a soldier's neck was pierced by the dagger.
