Heavens villain boss whitewashing system

The moment Zhu ignored his death, Cao Zhengchun's mind heard the sound of mission completion.

【Ding!】

【Ding!】

【Do you want to receive it?】

"Collect it later."

Cao Zhengchun took a deep breath and looked at the mess around him. The originally majestic Qianqing Palace had been completely razed to the ground, and the surrounding palaces were also heavily damaged.

As if they had just experienced an earthquake, the battle between him and Zhu Wuli destroyed half of the palace, and there was no telling how many deaths and injuries there would be among the miserable eunuch daughters in the palace.

Of course, the biggest casualties were the martial arts masters of these eight major sects. First, they were beaten to death by Zhu Wuli and were seriously injured.

We also experienced the unprecedented battle between Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wuwu. The aftermath alone took many lives. At least two of the eight major sects' masters were wiped out.

This battle set the entire Ming Dynasty martial arts back at least ten years, maybe more, but Cao Zhengchun was happy to hear about it. He was a member of the imperial court and had always been hostile to the Jianghu forces. It was not a bad thing to be able to calm down for a while.

Turning his attention back to himself, Cao Zhengchun felt the serious injuries in his body and frowned secretly. It would take at least half a month to recover from this.

The end of the final battle was indeed beyond his expectation, but who could have expected that the result of the battle between the two qigong-absorbing techniques would end in their respective collapses.

Originally, he could perform fancy tricks and use his speed to kill the kite without any damage, but now he suffered a moderate injury, which made Cao Zhengchun a little unwilling.

But since everyone in Zhu's mind is dead, is it possible that he can be pulled up and beaten again?

Cao Zhengchun finally won reluctantly, and in a sense, it was a complete victory.

Emperor Zhengde died, and so did Zhu Wuwu.

Cao Zhengchun got rid of two thorns in the flesh at once. He no longer had any political constraints, and his influence in the Ming Dynasty was bound to reach a new peak.

Thinking like this, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but think about his next plan.

There is no need to argue with Emperor Zhengde anymore, he can’t wait to further speed up the reform of the Ming Dynasty and start the road of great colonization:

Because the Ming Dynasty's years of food reserves are almost exhausted, and the climate anomalies caused by the Little Ice Age are far from over.

There is another important thing, that is, a country cannot be without a king for a day. It is a big taboo for Tsuna to have a leaderless group of dragons. It is necessary to choose an emperor to succeed him as soon as possible.

Of course, as a good eunuch in the new era who serves the country and the people, Eunuch Cao still needs to think carefully about who to choose to support as the new emperor.

This time, the biggest obstacle has been solved, and the next answer only needs to be followed step by step.

Standing alone on the ruins, Cao Zhengchun showed a happy smile. It was the first time since he crossed over and became Cao Zhengchun that he smiled so heartily. His wrinkled old face smiled like a withered chrysanthemum. It was so ugly that it made people think of... Punch him in the face.

The black factory robe on his body was full of holes, and the tattered cloak fluttering in the wind was also stained with blood, but under the setting sun, it rustled like fire.

From this moment on, Ming Dynasty was completely shrouded in the shadow cast by Cao Zhengchun.

…

Three days later, at the Gate of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Zhengde went to court for the first time after his death.

Cao Zhengchun stood in the main hall with an expressionless face, wearing a five-clawed purple python robe and a flowered golden crown on his head, looking very solemn.

There was no one on the dragon chair, but there was a phoenix chariot beside it. Without the emperor, the court meeting had to involve the queen mother.

Although the queen mother at the head was gorgeously dressed, she looked very haggard and sad. It seemed that Zhu Houzhao's death had caused a big blow to her.

The person standing next to the Queen Mother was not the new eunuch who succeeded Eunuch Sun, but Princess Yunluo.

Princess Yunluo's eyes were also red and her face was pale. She was obviously very sad about the death of her royal brother.

Two women, one lost her son in old age and the other lost her brother in youth, made people feel a little sad for a while.

Zhu Houzhao had no children, so the succession to the throne was inevitable.

The new emperor may openly show preferential treatment to the empress dowager and the princess, who have no emotional foundation, but secretly he may not be too close to them.

Princess Yunluo, who had received so much favor, was bound to be marginalized, while the Empress Dowager could only stay quietly in the harem, waiting to grow old.

It may sound cruel to say it, but people die like lamps, and there are still people who come after them. The purpose of going to court this time is actually to force the orphan and widower to make a decision quickly and choose who will belong to the throne.

The Ming Dynasty was such a large dynasty that it had to have a ruler, even if it was only on the surface.

Obviously, although the Queen Mother was old, she also understood this truth, so even though she was very sad about the death of her prince, she still spoke in a hoarse voice:

"The emperor died at the hands of the traitors, and the whole court mourned, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, so it is better to decide on the selection of the new emperor as soon as possible.

A member of the Ai family is short-sighted, do you, the late emperor, have any wise ideas?"

After the words fell, the officials below were silent, no one dared to speak.

Because they knew that the person who really dominated the court was not the Queen Mother above, nor their ministers, but the one at the front, the man with gray hair and a childlike face wearing a python robe, the Factory Duke Cao Zhengchun.

The Empress Dowager looked at the ministers below, and all of them lowered their heads guiltily and did not dare to look at each other. Princess Yunluo could only worry secretly beside her, but there was nothing she could do.

The old empress dowager sighed in disappointment, knowing in her heart that the decline of imperial power was inevitable.

Although the former Cao Zhengchun had overwhelming power, he still had Emperor Zhengde and Hulong Villa to check and balance him.

As a result, after a rebellion by Zhu Wuli, both of them are now gone.

However, Cao Zhengchun is full of wings and has great power. He is already the most powerful official with one hand covering the sky.

With factory guards in hand to monitor the government and the public, the ten generals obeyed him, and his reputation among the people was at its peak.

Cao Zhengchun is called the Duke of the Factory, but in fact he is already the hidden emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

The current Empress Dowager even felt that it would be better to let Zhu ignore the successful usurpation of the throne, so that at least the Ming Dynasty would still be in the hands of the Zhu family, instead of being arbitrarily acted upon by a eunuch like now.

After a long silence, the Empress Dowager sighed, and finally asked Cao Zhengchun, "Ministers still need to think carefully. I wonder what Eunuch Cao's advice is?"

Cao Zhengchun lightly rolled down his sleeves. Before he could say anything, a majestic demeanor emerged spontaneously, making the entire court even quieter. The serving eunuchs and maids did not even dare to take a deep breath.

At this moment, Factory Master Cao Zhengchun’s power reached its peak!

Regardless of Princess Yunluo's anger, the Empress Dowager looked ugly, Cao Zhengchun slowly said:

"When I returned to the Queen Mother, I thought that Mr. Zhu Hou, the second son of Xingxian King Zhu Youqi, could inherit the throne."

As soon as Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, the courtiers immediately cheered. Compared with the oppressive atmosphere before the Empress Dowager, it was a world of difference.

"Cao De deeply believes what the governor said!"

"What Mr. Cao said is absolutely true (I think so too)."

"The candidate Wei Chen wants is the same (then I'll add one)!"

"Great kindness, Duke Cao's words are really the policy to determine the country (the same applies to me)!"

"..."
