"No way? The Qing Dynasty is lucky enough not to persecute us Han people. How could they abdicate the throne to us?"

"Oh, what about the Qing Dynasty? You probably don't know about the bloody incident two months ago? Most of the Qing dynasty's sons and daughters died in one day, and the remaining ones changed their names for fear of being hunted down.

In this case, if the throne is not passed on to us Han people, who else can he pass it on to?"

"But I've never heard of this Chen Mo. How can he be the emperor?"

"Hush, be careful with your mouth!

Those generals who control the military power of the world all support him, how could he be an ordinary person? "

"Okay, don't think too much, as long as we Han people take over the country."

Chen Mo was originally waiting for the day of abdication in the palace, but suddenly he received a report from a disciple of the Beggar Gang, saying that people from the White Lotus Sect were looking for him.

White Lotus Sect?

This guy is just a troublemaker, spreading evil ideas every day. No matter which dynasty or generation, he always comes out to make trouble. No wonder kings of all dynasties are annoyed by him.

Chen Mo knew that the White Lotus Sect was not looking for him for good reasons, so he rejected them directly and said, "Let them go!"

What the hell, you said you wanted to see me, so I have to let you see me? Pah!

Chen Mo originally thought that the matter was over, but he didn't expect that the White Lotus Sect was a bunch of bastards, actually making up rumors.

They say that the current leader of the White Lotus Sect is a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, and since they want to restore the Han Dynasty, the emperor should be the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

And they were shouting "overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty" everywhere.

After Chen Mo got the news, his face turned cold: Okay, okay, you dare to pick my peaches, then kill, kill, kill, kill!

Chapter 8 Silence is golden, talk less and do more

One month later

Mount Tai

Accompanied by many court officials and countless soldiers, Chen Mo walked step by step to the built Fengshan platform.

Emperor Xianfeng consciously lagged behind Chen Mo, and the two of them went on stage one after another.

After Emperor Xianfeng finished reading the abdication text, Chen Mo turned his gaze to a man who was brought up.

Chen Mo and his companions set out from the capital and traveled all the way to Mount Tai. The journey was not smooth, as many assassins came out to assassinate them.

Among the assassins, there were remnants of the Qing Dynasty, some people from the underworld, and the man in front of him.

The man's name was Zhu Ziming, and he was the current leader of the White Lotus Sect. Seeing that rumors could not change the outcome of Chen Mo ascending the throne, he thought of assassinating Chen Mo directly.

In his opinion, he was no worse than Chen Mo. Chen Mo was the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and he was the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Chen Mo's strength overwhelmed all the other leaders, and he also fought his way to the position of leader step by step. If Chen Mo could become emperor, why couldn't he?

So, he brought the elite members of the White Lotus Sect to assassinate him, but unfortunately he was captured on the spot by Zhao Wuji who was accompanying him, and became a prisoner.

As for what he had claimed before, his surname was indeed Zhu, but it was not known whether he was really a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of course, none of this matters. Chen Mo is going to sacrifice this guy to heaven today.

"Someone, come and chop off this guy's head for me. I want to use his head to offer a sacrifice to the heavens!" Chen Mo said coldly.

"Chen Mo, you've gone too far...I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!" Zhu Ziming was still shouting before he died.

Chen Mo sneered: "Haha, Zhu Ziming, after you die, I will grind your bones and scatter your ashes, and arrange for monks and Taoist priests to perform rituals so that you can't even become a ghost.

As for your wife and daughter, I will love them well, haha!"

Chen Mo specifically emphasized the word "love", and the meaning is self-evident.

"Ah...I hate it!"

With an unwilling cry, Zhu Ziming's body was separated.

Chen Mo watched coldly. He didn't care about the taboo that blood should not be seen on the day of Fengshan. After traveling through time, he wanted to be lawless and do whatever he wanted. Otherwise, what was the point of traveling through time!

I was so timid in my previous life, I can’t continue to be timid in this life!

When the court officials below the stage saw this scene, they were amazed at Chen Mo's ruthlessness and dared not disobey him.

After placing Zhu Ziming's head on the altar, Chen Mo began to recite his own eulogy.

The general meaning is that one has accepted the mission from heaven... and hopes that God will bless one's rule with good weather, peace and prosperity, etc.

After reading the sacrificial text and successfully ascending the throne, Chen Mo changed the country's name from Qing Dynasty to Da Chen Dynasty.

The meaning is: Silence is golden, talk less and do more, be pragmatic!

When Chen Mo first ascended the throne, there were indeed some disturbances due to the transition from the old to the new and the lack of leadership in some places. However, as Chen Mo reduced taxes, recruited talents, and sent troops to suppress the disturbances, the disturbances were quickly settled.

Chen Mo became emperor for enjoyment, not for real work, so he decisively carried out military and political reforms, established various departments, and each department had its own responsibilities. In addition, he re-established the Jinyiwei, investigated all officials, and governed the people, and was only responsible for himself.

Except for major matters, Chen Mo simply let others handle other matters.

Today, the Embroidered Uniform Guard reported that they had found Zhu Ziming's daughter and had captured her.

Looking at the woman who was tied up and kneeling on the ground with her head lowered, Chen Mo said:

"Keep your head up!"

"Bah, you dog emperor, kill me if you have the guts!" The woman asked for death as soon as she opened her mouth, obviously not wanting to let Chen Mo get away with it.

"Where is Zhu Ziming's wife?" Chen Mo asked this question to the Jinyiwei who was kneeling in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Ziming's wife knew she was going to die, so she chose to commit suicide!" the Jinyiwei replied.

"Zizizi, Zhu Ziming is ugly, but his daughter is beautiful. This is obviously the credit of his wife.

It's a pity that his wife committed suicide, otherwise I wouldn't mind having a taste of mother-daughter love." Chen Mo said with a chuckle.

Is it possible for me to listen to such words?

The Imperial Guards and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace quickly lowered their heads and looked at the ground to reduce their presence.

"You are shameless!" Zhu Ziming's daughter cursed.

"Haha, you say I'm shameless? Then I'll show you if I have teeth!

Jinyiwei retreat, eunuchs and palace maids wait outside the palace!"

At the command, only Chen Mo and Zhu Ziming's daughter were left in the hall.

"You bastard, what are you doing? Don't come over here..."

Two hours later, Chen Mo walked out of the room and said to the maid at the door: "Confer the title of Ming Fei on Zhu Ziming's daughter. Go in and take care of her. Remember, don't let her die!"

After saying that, Chen Mo left. When the palace maid went in, she saw broken pieces of clothes everywhere on the ground. Concubine Ming was looking at the ceiling of the bed with a look of despair on her face.

To be honest, Chen Mo was not worried that Ming Fei would commit suicide, because he threatened her with the lives of other members of the White Lotus Sect. If she dared to commit suicide, he would cut the White Lotus Sect members into pieces and send the women to the Jiaofangsi.

The other party called him shameless and despicable, but Chen Mo smiled and said nothing. No matter how the other party called him, as long as he enjoyed it, that was enough!

"Mo Feng, today I have a mission for you. Go and buy me the most advanced ships, cannons, and guns from abroad.

In addition, if possible, bring back some powerful craftsmen, can you do it?" Chen Mo said seriously.

Mo Feng is the real name of Elder Mo of the Beggars' Sect. After Chen Mo became emperor, he was impressed by his upright character and appointed him as the Minister of Logistics, in charge of money, food, and ammunition.

The reason why Mo Feng was sent overseas for purchases this time was because they were afraid that the Great Chen Dynasty would repeat the same mistakes and be bullied by those foreigners in the future.

After such a long time, and with Chen Mo already the emperor, Mo Feng had already sincerely submitted to him. Upon hearing Chen Mo's order, he immediately bowed and said, "I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust!"

Chen Mo nodded. After Mo Feng left, Chen Mo went to Zhao Wuji again and asked, "Zhao Wuji, how is the progress of the longevity cream I asked you to develop?"

Zhao Wuji is the most powerful man in the world except for himself. Although he can defeat him, he is afraid that he will cause trouble, so he had him castrated not long ago. This can also prevent this guy from causing trouble in the harem when he is not paying attention.

I have to say that Zhao Wuji became much more honest after being castrated. No matter whether he hated me in his heart, at least he could not carry on the family line. His pursuits would either be martial arts or power and money, and only I could give him these, so he could only be loyal to me.

At this time, Zhao Wuji, who was wearing a eunuch's uniform, knelt on the ground respectfully and reported: "Your Majesty, the longevity cream has been developed and can be mass-produced. The raw materials have also been heavily guarded. We are just waiting for your next order."

"Okay, in that case, then you can pick a smart person to sell these longevity creams abroad. I will not only reap the money of those foreigners, but also destroy their will, hahaha!" Chen Mo arranged.

"Your Majesty is wise. I will do it right away!"

Chapter 9 How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

Opium, also known as opium, is made from marijuana and poppy and is addictive.

If history had gone as it normally would, those foreigners would have sold opium to the Qing Dynasty, poisoning its people.

So Chen Mo thought of doing the opposite, which would not only allow him to earn a lot of extra income, but also slow down the speed of foreign invasion.

You have to know that at that time the foreigners were already carrying out the Industrial Revolution, and their daily lives many years later would be ahead of ours, so we had to buy enough time, otherwise we would still not be able to defeat those foreigners.

In addition to these measures, Chen Mo was afraid that Mo Feng would not be able to recruit foreign talents, so he specially arranged for thousands of people to study abroad in order to learn advanced technologies.

In addition, he also established many schools in the country, aiming to deepen the people's loyalty to the emperor and improve the cultural level of the general public.

It is normal to encounter obstacles and huge expenses. Fortunately, Chen Mo is not fussy about details. He sent people to dig up the imperial tomb and obtained a lot of treasures from it.

We can hold on for a while if we can, and if we can’t, we will keep digging. In any case, we cannot exploit the people.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

When Chen Mo wasn't practicing martial arts, he would indulge in various landscapes, and the number of beauties in his harem continued to increase.

Life in ancient society was too hard for ordinary people, but for people at the top of society like Chen Mo, it was simply heaven.

Not only can he have three wives and four concubines, but he also doesn't have to work. There will be people to serve him no matter what he does, and the food, drink, and entertainment are the best in the world.

In the past five years, Rushuang and Xiaocui also gave birth to children for Chen Mo. He did not hesitate and immediately made them the crown prince to prevent the children from fighting for power in the future.

In the court, there have been many new faces in the past five years. They were all recruited by Chen Mo through the imperial examination system, and they all have their merits.

At the local level, all the previous generals had basically been replaced by Chen Mo, and the military power of the world was truly in Chen Mo's hands.

The talents who were previously sent abroad to study advanced foreign technology have also returned to the country one after another. They not only received rewards, but were also given various official positions.

As for Zhao Wuji, the progress was also quite good. He opened up sales channels in various countries in three years, and started to make money continuously in the next two years.

As for Mo Feng, with the country becoming richer and stronger in recent years, tax revenues have risen accordingly. Combined with the income from Zhao Wuji's longevity cream, he has already helped Chen Mo purchase a lot of advanced equipment.

You don't want to sell your powerful ships and cannons? Then add more money!

Still not willing to sell? Then keep raising the price until they are willing to sell. After all, this money is earned from them!

Just as Chen Mo walked out of the imperial study, Jinyiwei commander Ji Guang suddenly came to report that foreigners were reselling Fu Shou cream on the southeast coast.
