My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 35
It seemed that there was no feedback. The thing outside the door seemed a little annoyed and moved a little louder.

Doors and windows creaked as they were slapped.

But Zhu Houcong inside the door remained silent.

As if everything is normal.

Zhu Houcong asked the surrounding guards and eunuchs to leave temporarily under the pretext of Qingxiu.

If someone wants to attack Zhu Houcong in the imperial city.

Then it must not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zhu Houcong to be alone.

Finally, it couldn't bear it any longer.

There was no violent slamming of the door. This thing was so light that it slipped right in through the crack in the door.

It was actually a paper man.

Pale limbs, face as bloody as blood.

A pair of eyes seems to have been hastily drawn without being finished, with only a rough outline.

It was actually combing the hair of a palace maid in a bun, and a teacup appeared in its hand at some point.

Walking slowly towards Zhu Houcong.

Zhu Houcong heard bursts of evil laughter coming from its mouth.

"Your Majesty, is it getting late? It's time to drink medicine!"

When he was only a few steps away from each other, Zhu Houcong opened his eyes.

His expression was still so calm that it shocked the things in front of him.

He even took the initiative to pick up the tea cup in the paper man's hand, smelled it, and frowned.

"Who sent you here?"

"Of course it's Queen Mother Zhang——"

At this time, it looked at Zhu Houcong, who put the tea cup on the table next to him with a look of disgust on his face. With a confused look on his face, he subconsciously answered in a strange way.

"Won't Her Majesty pay your salary? This water is sour!"

"..."

Is there no one left in Daming?
Why did you choose such an abstract thing?

Countless shadows lingered in the darkness outside the window.

In the darkness, a woman's shrill laughter could be heard.

"Where is Uncle Jianchang?"

It finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked when it saw that Zhu Houcong was surrounded.

"It seems you lied. If it were Queen Mother Zhang, she would not be so impatient!"

The emperor who was sitting on the futon didn't know when he opened his eyes.

Zhu Houcong sighed.

It seems that besides Queen Mother Zhang, there are other forces in the palace.

After all, if she were really Empress Dowager Zhang, she would have had a more tactful and appropriate way to negotiate with Zhu Houcong on the Zhang Yanling matter.

The mother of the late emperor, this status was enough to do many things in the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Houcong stood up, and golden-red flames appeared around him.

Just when it was about to laugh at this mortal's overestimation of his own abilities, it suddenly saw the fire beside Zhu Houcong.

And with a burst of severe pain, his body burned in an instant.

"what!!!"

A scream of terror came from its mouth.

Those things hidden outside also noticed the abnormality in the palace, and the sound of "dong dong" being violently slapped on the doors and windows continued to be heard.

In an instant, the doors and windows were torn apart.

Those things rushed in.

There are more than 40 paper figures, all of which are eunuchs, maids and guards.

The eunuch-looking paper man headed by him had just arrived in front of Zhu Houcong, and was instantly burned to ashes by the blazing flames.

With the addition of the true method of the Great Sun, the power of Nongyan Jue, which has been fully practiced, becomes even more powerful.

Zhu Houcong even had a feeling.

In his own hands, this set of flame-making techniques, which were originally only considered to be of average quality, are no less powerful than those top Qi-training techniques.

In an instant, the fire ignited the night, and I saw the paper figures in front of me burning up one after another with screams.

The subsequent paper figures had a look of horror on their faces.

Desperately step back.

But how could Zhu Houcong let him leave.

The fire was raging and swallowed up everything.

Accompanied by the horrified shouts of the people outside the palace and the palace, "It's leaked!"

Zhu Houcong opened his hand, and the ashes of the last paper man fell from his palm.

He finally caught the traces of the person behind the manipulation of the paper man.

He looked outside the palace in the direction of Shouning Hou Zhang Heling's residence.

"His Majesty!"

Huang Jin rushed in with his guards in a panic.

Seeing that Zhu Houcong was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.He wanted to say something else, but Zhu Houcong shook his head.

It seems that even if he ascends to the throne, there will still be people who don't take his warning to heart.

"Huang Jin!"

The guards and eunuchs all around rushed to put out the fire. When Huang Jin heard this, he quickly fell to his knees.

Zhu Houcong waved his sleeves.

"I heard that the Cabinet Secretary, the Rite Supervisor, and the Qin Tian Supervisor came to see me immediately at the Jinshen Palace. Someone dared to set fire to the imperial city today. I ordered the Supervisory Council to immediately issue an order. The three law departments will conduct a joint trial. Within three days, the real person must be arrested. You can’t catch him! Those drunkards who lead the Dali Temple’s Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should all get out of here!”

I heard Zhu Houcong's angry words.

Huang Jin's heart sank.

Regardless of whether the anger Zhu Houcong expressed in front of everyone at this time was true or false.

But he knew clearly that soon many people in the capital would be dismissed from office and their heads would fall to the ground!
When the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are buried!

……

In the 16th year of Zhengde, Jinshen Hall.

Yang Tinghe and the cabinet ministers looked at each other, and the eunuchs and eunuchs who followed Lu Fang in a hurry were also trembling.

As soon as the emperor entered the capital, a fire broke out in his palace.

No matter which dynasty you are in, it is a major event that breaks the news!
And outside the two highest authorities in the country, the Secretary of Ceremony and the Cabinet.

There is also a special department.

That is the Qin Tianjian who was accused of observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars.

It was originally Si Tianjian, but was renamed Tumu Fort later.

This time there were two people, an old man and a young man.

The old man's name is Li Xuan, he is the Supervisor of Qin Tian, ​​and his official rank is from the fifth rank.

The young man next to him is Chun Guanzheng, one of the five people with upright facial features, and he uses the palm of his hand to push the four-season solar calendar, which is the sixth level.

"Li Jianzheng, what's the situation? Is it caused by evil spirits?"

Seeing that Yang Tinghe was silent, Liang Chu turned around and asked politely while waiting for the emperor to arrive.

"Mr. Liang Ge, Xing'er and I just went to the palace with Eunuch Huang to have a look. There is indeed a silver spirit lingering around. However, how the evil spirit entered the palace needs to be carefully investigated later."

Li Xuan answered cautiously.

As the contemporary Qin Tian Jian Zheng and the nominal leader of Xuan Xiu in the world, he is quite prestigious in both Buddhism and Nestorianism.

But when facing these high-ranking and important figures in the imperial court, his heart beat faster involuntarily and his palms became sweaty as he spoke.

After all, the three martial arts destroying the Buddha are far away in history.But it can still be learned.

During the Hongwu and Yongle reigns, the imperial court annihilated the Ming Cult, the White Lotus Cult and other evil cults are still vivid in our minds.

This still makes all the Taoists in the world tremble with fear.

After all, unlike Zhu Houcong, they are still mortals at their core.

It's just a matter of mastering the techniques on how to deal with and utilize those evil things.

Once you anger the government, you will be jailed in an instant.

Liang Chu nodded and turned to look at Jiang Mian.

"It seems that there is indeed a demon causing trouble in the palace. Now that His Majesty is furious, Mr. Jiang Ge must keep an eye on the Three Laws Division for strict investigation! If no results are produced within three days and Long Yan is angered, we will be punished by death. It’s hard to pay off!”

"If something like this happens in the palace, I will definitely urge them to investigate it strictly. Please rest assured, Mr. Liang Ge."

Jiang Mian said.

During the conversation between the two, they already concluded that the matter was caused by a spy in the palace colluding with outsiders.

"Your Majesty is coming..."

Hearing this, everyone saluted.

"See Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite! Calling you here at such a late hour! Sirs, please get up! Huang Jin, give some seats to the elders!"

Zhu Houcong climbed onto the dragon chair on the golden platform in the palace and sat down.

"How is the investigation going?"

"Si Tianjian just came to report and confirmed that the evil spirit was causing trouble. It was probably a collusion between internal and external forces that allowed the evil spirit to enter the palace!"

Li Xuan's mouth opened, but before he could speak, Liang Chu immediately answered.

What the hell?
When did I say that evil spirits are caused by internal and external collusion!
Jiang Mian on the side added.

"I ask your Majesty to strictly inspect the inside and outside! There must be no mistakes in the forbidden areas of the palace!"

After saying this, both he and Liang Chu lowered their heads, waiting for the emperor to send them.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as soon as the emperor entered the capital, he placed the royal family's cronies into various places in the Forbidden Army.

Obviously they want to take action among the Forbidden Army and clean up the influence of Queen Mother Zhang!
"Didn't you hear what the two elders said? Huang Jin!"

The young emperor sat on the dragon throne.

His eyes scanned all the ministers of His Highness.

He sneered and scolded Huang Jin.

"Take your people and check the four guards of the Royal Horse Prison under you first! Anyone with problems will be thrown into the imperial prison! After cleaning up your people, take Wang Meng, 26 guards of the Forbidden Army, and one guard Check every guard for me! Don’t let anyone go!"

At the end of the sentence, the emperor's words turned into roars!

All the officials knelt down again in fear. Suddenly, Liang Chu and others seemed to hear a dragon roar beside their ears!
