Chapter 61: The God of War of Great Ming Goes Rampant in the Chat Group!
During the Tianshun reign of the Great Ming Dynasty.
With a gloomy expression, Zhu Qizhen gazed up at the firmament. The evaluations passed upon him by emperors of other dynasties pierced his heart like sharp needles, especially the affectionate greetings sent by his own ancestors of the Zhu family!
"Tell me... tell me, should I execute this Yu Qian or not?" Zhu Qizhen asked, turning to Xu Youzhen and the others.
Xu Youzhen replied, "If Your Majesty says he should be killed, then he must be killed... If Yu Qian does not die, Your Majesty will have no righteous pretext for the Gate-Seizing Coup!"
Rolling his eyes, Xu Youzhen added, "Your Majesty, although Yu Qian has merits, he elevated the Emperor Dai to the throne, which is an act of supreme treason. If he is not executed, others may follow his example in the future, threatening Your Majesty's orthodox position."
At this moment, Cao吉祥 chimed in from the side, "Your Majesty, Lord Xu's words are entirely correct. This realm today belongs to Your Majesty; it cannot tolerate even the slightest threat."
Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth as a surge of hatred flared in his heart again.
"Even these men understand my predicament, yet my ancestors fail to comprehend my difficulties. How laughable!"
"Back then, when I was locked out of the city gates, did that Yu Qian ever consider my life or death?"
"I did nothing wrong... Yu Qian may be a loyal subject, but he is not *my* loyal subject!"
Zhu Qizhen repeated to himself over and over that he was in the right.
Staring at the affectionate greetings plastered across the firmament, Zhu Qizhen felt a rush of blood to his head and immersed his consciousness into the chat group.
There were a full 999 messages tagging him.
[Your God of War of the Great Ming has come online!]
Upon seeing this notification, the members of the Zhu family went berserk!
A Broken Rice Bowl: "You little bastard... You've finally shown your face. This Emperor is going to XXX you XXXX!"
Emperor Yongle: "Beast... You beast, you are utterly unworthy of being a descendant of my Zhu family!"
Emperor Xuande: "You bastard, you actually dared to execute Yu Qian..."
Emperor Chenghua: "Father... I miss you... I miss you to death... You wouldn't mind if I dug you up for some fresh air, would you?"
...
Looking at the screen full of affectionate greetings, Zhu Qizhen flew into a rage as well...
God of War of the Great Ming: "None of you have ever stood from my perspective... How could you possibly understand my hardships?"
God of War of the Great Ming: "@Emperor Yongle, you don't want a descendant like me, but do you think I ever wanted an ancestor like you?"
God of War of the Great Ming: "@A Broken Rice Bowl, Founding Emperor Hongwu... You certainly killed your share of loyal officials during the Hongwu era, didn't you? What qualification do you have to lecture me?"
God of War of the Great Ming: "@Emperor Xuande, anyone has the right to criticize me, but not you. Wasn't Wang Zhen personally left to me by you? Besides, if you hadn't died so young, would I have ever been driven to such straits?"
God of War of the Great Ming: "@Emperor Chenghua, my dear son, if you dare to dig me up, I dare to blow up the ancestral tombs of the entire Zhu family..."
...
Zhu Qizhen went on a complete rampage within the chat group, unleashing a vicious barrage of curses upon the Zhu family!
A Broken Rice Bowl: "This Emperor will tear you to pieces, you little bastard!"
God of War of the Great Ming: "Come, come, come! Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you've got the guts, come at me! I am standing right before you—look closely at how much I resemble my former self! Whoever doesn't show up is a coward. (Doge head)"
Emperor Taizu of Ming was so enraged by Zhu Qizhen's words that his eyes turned bloodshot.
"Good... Very good! Our Zhu family actually produced such a piece of trash. Oh Heavens, oh Earth, are you determined to drive me to my grave?!"
Emperor Yongle: "Audacious! You beast, how dare you speak to my Imperial Father in such a manner!"
God of War of the Great Ming: "Audacious your head! My mouth grows on my face, I'll say whatever I please. Come and hit me! Hit me if you can! Hehe, you can't reach me! (Taunting)"
During the Yongle era.
Zhu Di was so furious that he grabbed a small wooden stool and began smashing things wildly!
A beast... A total beast!
"I never even dared to speak to my father like that! How on earth does he dare? How could he possibly dare?!"
Emperor Xuande: "You little punk... My ancestors might not be able to reach you, but I certainly can... I've already had you beheaded!"
God of War of the Great Ming: "Oh ho! You tuberculous ghost, I almost forgot about you! Men! Dig up my father for me and give him some fresh air! (Sly grin)"
God of War of the Great Ming: "My good son, you needn't jump out; dealing with you right now is as easy as drinking water!"
...
For a moment, emperors from all other planes were left utterly dumbfounded!
First Emperor of Qin: "In a word... Outstanding!"
Founder of the Han: "This old man thought he was shameless enough, but I never expected someone to surpass even me?"
The Wild Boar of Han: "Utterly... unrivaled!"
Emperor Taizong of Tang: "This Emperor... has truly seen something today. He's even fiercer than Wei Zheng..."
Lover of Guan Yu and Other Men's Wives: "This lord can only say, he has gone completely berserk..."
...
God of War of the Great Ming: "Hahaha... Pardon me, everyone, making a spectacle of yourselves. These old fogies simply beg to be cursed; if you don't curse them for a day, they'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles! (Bashful)"
God of War of the Great Ming: "@Zhu Family, is there anyone else who refuses to submit? Step right out and let's trade blows..."
A Broken Rice Bowl: "This Emperor will XXXXX you XXXXX!"
God of War of the Great Ming: "Oh ho... What are you barking about? Speak human words, I don't understand! (Derisive)"
...
Zhu Qizhen had completely let loose, firing off barbs at anyone regardless of who they were.
This firmament was indeed just as he had expected; no matter how formidable they were, they couldn't cross through time to strike him!
"Exhilarating... So exhilarating, simply fantastic!"
"A bunch of old fogies, truly pushing their luck."
Just as he was preparing to hurl more abuse, his punishment arrived!
[The Eternal Laggard, the Oirat Exchange Student has been fully reviewed!]
[Reasons for making the list: Reusing the eunuch Wang Zhen, which led to the unjust deaths of two hundred thousand soldiers and over fifty ministers of the Great Ming; showing no shame by calling the enemy to the nation's gates; tarnishing the glorious national character of the Great Ming where the Son of Heaven guards the gates and the sovereign dies for the state; seizing the throne through a coup and unjustly executing loyal officials; excavating his younger brother's tomb, and so forth...! (Not to mention the supreme filial impiety of cursing his ancestors in the chat group just now!)]
[Punishment One: Haunted by Grievous Souls (Every time he enters sleep, the souls of those unjustly killed by the Great Ming will come to claim his life!)]
[Punishment Two: Proxy Death Doll (Becomes the proxy death doll for his younger brother Zhu Qiyu, dying once in Zhu Qiyu's stead!)]
[Punishment Three: Ancestors Descend from Heaven (Taken literally; don't just be a keyboard warrior, if you've got the guts, let's meet offline!)]
...
At this moment, the eyes of Emperor Taizu, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaozhi, and Zhu Zhanji turned intensely red, glowing with a crimson light!
Their faces settled into gloomy, sinister smiles.
