The old eunuch had a ferocious face, with wrinkled skin that resembled tree bark.
Gritting his teeth, he swayed and managed to stand up with difficulty.
But.
The next moment.
boom!
An invisible hand slammed down again.
The old eunuch lay on the ground, forming a human-shaped pit.
On the verge of death.
Even the palace swayed slightly.
Emperor Ming was dumbfounded. He slumped back onto his dragon throne and swallowed hard.
The infamous eunuch Sanbao, who had made seven voyages to the Western Ocean and traveled all over China, was actually defeated in a single encounter!
Murong Fu picked at his ear, a half-smile on his face, and asked, "Emperor Ming, what did you just say?"
"I...I..."
Emperor Ming looked conflicted and flustered, unable to speak.
Snap—
Emperor Ming slid off the dragon throne and fell to the ground, leaving a puddle of water on the ground.
"Brother, did you pee your pants in fear?"
Yunluo pinched her nose, looking disgusted.
Emperor Ming smiled wryly, "Wouldn't you be afraid if it were you?"
Yunlu pouted and said, "Originally, my husband and I came back to propose marriage, but you've embarrassed us so much, so let's forget about it."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ming smiled wryly again, "You should have said so earlier!"
If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation!
"Sister...brother-in-law..." Emperor Ming stammered, his voice trembling, "For the sake of us being family, could you spare my life?"
Yunluo shook Murong Fu's arm and pleaded, "Husband, although my brother is a bit of a coward, he is still my own brother."
Emperor Ming suddenly had an idea and continued, "Brother-in-law, I have three thousand beauties in my harem, many of whom have just entered the palace through the imperial selection process and have not yet served the emperor. You may choose any one you like."
"Oh, right, there's also a princess from Izumo Kingdom who recently came here for a political marriage. I haven't even touched her yet, so I'll give her to my brother-in-law as well!"
Emperor Ming looked at Murong Fu with a sheepish expression, only wishing to live.
Murong Fu shook his head and said, "Do you think I am a lustful person?"
Emperor Ming was speechless for a moment. If she didn't even like the beauties in her harem, could she really be after his throne?
Murong Fu stepped forward, sat on the dragon throne, and patted Emperor Ming on the shoulder. "Brother-in-law, I have a small request. May I ask if you would grant it?"
"You...you say..."
Emperor Ming wore a mournful expression, fearing that Murong Fu would force him to abdicate.
After all, he's already sitting on the dragon throne; his intentions are all too obvious.
Murong Fu said, "I wish to enter the Ming Dynasty's treasury for a look."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "No problem! This is my... ptooey! My token. With this token, my brother-in-law can enter the treasury at any time, just like it's his own home!"
As long as it's not a matter of seizing the throne, Emperor Ming really wouldn't mind giving all the treasures to Murong Fu!
"in addition……"
Murong Fu continued.
Emperor Ming immediately became nervous again.
Murong Fu patted Emperor Ming on the shoulder again: "Don't be nervous, I won't kill you."
Emperor Ming burst into laughter through his tears. Such a sudden and startling reaction was quite frightening!
"Brother-in-law, you say so, and I will try my best to satisfy you."
"It's nothing major, it just requires you to implement some policies."
Murong Fu took out a booklet and slammed it on the table.
"Land reform law? Commercial law? Lifting the maritime ban?"
Emperor Ming opened the book and was horrified after glancing at it a few times.
This reform method is indeed good, but it goes against the gentry and noble families of the world, and it is easy for him to be whipped after his death!
The previous Ming emperor trusted Zhang Juzheng and implemented reforms. As a result, Zhang Juzheng was not only killed but also had his ashes scattered. The previous Ming emperor was also despised by the gentry of the world.
“Anyone who disobeys shall be killed.”
Murong Fu said calmly, "Since you are the emperor, you wouldn't dare to rebel, would you?"
Emperor Ming smiled wryly and could only nod in agreement.
He feared that if he shook his head, Murong Fu would kill him first.
"Work hard. I will check the results regularly. If there is no progress, I will not mind replacing him with someone with courage. I believe your uncle Zhu Wushi should have a lot of ideas."
Murong Fu smiled and, at this point, looked at an old eunuch in the side hall, "Is that right, Zhu Wushi?"
Emperor Ming was stunned and turned to look at the old eunuch.
"Liu Daban, you..."
Emperor Ming could not believe it.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to be recognized."
The old eunuch removed the human skin mask, revealing his true face, which was none other than Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis.
Emperor Ming was stunned: "Imperial Uncle! You've actually been by my side all this time!"
Zhu Wushi gritted his teeth and said coldly, "My good nephew, although you are stupid and dumb, it's because you have a good family background!"
Emperor Ming's eyelids twitched and his lips twitched. Was he praising himself or criticizing himself?
Murong Fu said, "Zhu Wushi will work for me."
"Kill me, it's just a worthless life, I should have died long ago."
Zhu shrugged indifferently, looking as if he didn't care about life or death.
Murong Fu glanced at him and said indifferently, "I know the whereabouts of the third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom."
"What?!"
Zhu Wushi immediately became excited and knelt on one knee: "Zhu Wushi greets Young Master!"
Emperor Ming was somewhat bewildered. How could a single Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom have made his imperial uncle submit?
If I had known it would be this easy, I would have tempted her with the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.
Murong Fu continued, "Give Su Xin to me, and I will revive her."
"You...but..."
"Do you want her to wake up and see such a failure of yours?"
"..."
Zhu ignored it and gave a bitter smile.
He was no longer the Iron-Blooded Marquis, but a wanted criminal, a wanted criminal with the intention of rebellion. How could he have the face to see Su Xin?
"Love is letting go, love is providing, not possessing. How can you keep her like this? Has she ever been happy?"
"..."
Zhu remained silent.
