"They've even brought out the Imperial Advisor?"
Cao Zhengchun was more anxious than anyone else, proving the saying: "The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is."
"You mustn't do that, Your Majesty! Do you still want to refine elixirs and cultivate immortality?"
"Alchemy and cultivation? Hmm, that's a good suggestion, not impossible."
Zhu Houzhao made a decision: "After I abdicate, I will build a Taoist temple to devote myself to Taoist practice. None of you should disturb me."
Cao Zhengchun collapsed to the ground, too weak to speak, unsure of what to say.
The emperor is so young, how could he be so foolish as to hand over the throne to someone else? He has only been on the throne for a few years.
Yu Huatian, Zhuge Zhengwo, Duan Tianya, Leng Lingqi, Liu Bushen and their group surrounded Zhu Houzhao, all expressing their confusion.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly decide to abdicate the throne without any warning?"
"Yes, the change of power is a major event. You should have discussed it with us first."
"Your Majesty, why don't you clear your head for a few days before making a decision?"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider."
"Please think it over, Your Majesty."
“He is not worthy of the title of Divine Marquis.”
"My godfather is not suited to be emperor."
...
"Don't try to persuade me anymore. I am very clear-headed, exceptionally clear-headed, more so than ever before. My mind is made up. I know this is a decision that goes against the will of my ancestors, but..."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned his head, looked at Lin Bufan, and pointed at Lin Bufan.
"This man, Lin the Demon, killed Wei Zhongxian and Zhuque in Fuzhou, slaughtered hundreds of imperial guards, and then caused chaos in the capital. I was powerless against him; I am incompetent! I cannot lead you all!"
Perhaps, the Iron-Blooded Marquis is the true wise ruler, and the Grand Preceptor An Shigeng is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If the two of them cooperate, the Ming Dynasty will surely prosper...
They're after me?
Lin Bufan frowned: You fake Zhu Houzhao, you've been going around in circles and now you're pointing the finger at me, haven't you?
I not only fulfilled Zhu Wushi and An Shigeng's wishes, but also made everyone in the Ming Dynasty—the Eastern and Western Depots, the Six Doors, the Divine Marquis's Mansion, the Dragon Guard Villa, and everyone else—hate me.
Because of my, Lin Bufan's, disturbance in the capital, their emperor was forced to abdicate?
"If you don't believe me, ask the ministers whether they agree with my abdication of the throne or whether they agree with An Shigeng becoming the Grand Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Houzhao became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing to the civil and military officials kneeling around him.
One-third of the ministers had already accepted bribes and benefits from An Shigeng, and another part were Zhu Wushi's confidants.
Rounding up, nearly half the people shouted, "We will obey His Majesty's will."
"Saints my foot!"
Lin Bufan suddenly shouted, "You brainless bastards, take a good look and see if he is really Zhu Houzhao!"
As she spoke, she turned to Zhu Houzhao and sneered, "Miss Ruyan, your disguise skills are quite good."
Zhu Houzhao immediately tensed up and took a few steps back: "Who is Ruyan? I don't know what you're talking about."
