The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 146 I don’t want to be an emperor, so why are you teaching me how to be an emperor, Dad?
"Return to Your Majesty, I don't know."

Yang Xian said respectfully.

"Look up and see this ear of rice hanging on the wall."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said,
"Do you remember this thing?"

Swish.

Yang Xian raised his head and saw a golden ear of rice hanging brightly on the wall behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This! Your Majesty... Of course I remember it!"

Yang Xian said excitedly,
"This is a rice ear that grew from my farmland when I was reclaiming wasteland in Yangzhou. It was huge and golden, and the people all thought it was miraculous!"

"I was also surprised at the time. I have seen large ears of rice before, but I have never heard of or seen such a large one! As soon as this ear of rice grew, some people said it was a good omen!"

"I dare not neglect it, so I present it to Your Majesty!"

Seeing him describing the scene in vivid detail, Zhu Ju, who was typing the seal, suddenly burst out laughing.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to praise Yang Xian, but when he heard Zhu Ju's laughter, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Old Liu, why are you laughing?"

Zhu Ju shook his head repeatedly.

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy."

He tensed his expression and regained his solemn look.

"Focus and don't make any mistakes."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say much after hearing this. He just gave a reminder and then turned to look at Yang Xian and said with a smile,
"Yes, you remember it very clearly, and so do I!"

"I am also a farmer, and in all these years, I have never seen such large and full ears of rice! So, this can indeed be called an auspicious sign!"

"Have you ever thought about why God gave you this auspicious thing, and why it happened to grow in your farmland?"

Yang Xian was slightly startled.

"This……"

"I don't know, please let your majesty tell me."

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly stood up and turned to look at the rice ears on the wall behind him.

"This is God's approval and affirmation of your governance of Yangzhou!"

He said loudly,

"Yangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times! There is also a line in ancient poetry: 'Yangzhou in March with fireworks'. But when we went to Yangzhou for inspection at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of scene did we see?"

"Broken walls and ruins, the whole place is in ruins! I never thought that the once prosperous Yangzhou would become a scorched earth!"

"Even Yangzhou has become such a mess, what else do other states and counties need to look at? At that time, it really can be described in four words - everything needs to be rebuilt!"

"And if we want to restore the prosperity of the prefectures and counties, the first task is to gather people and reclaim wasteland! Call back the people who are scattered all over the place and plant the wasteland again!"

"In this regard, you have set an example for all local officials in the Ming Dynasty! You are the first official to propose the responsibility field system! If the local officials take the lead in reclaiming wasteland and cultivating land, how can the people not actively respond? Your system will be immediately implemented throughout the country!"

"In just two or two and a half years, Yangzhou has regained its former glory under your leadership, and the people of the entire Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of local officials, have actively reclaimed wasteland and cultivated land. The whole country is thriving!"

"Yang Xian, you have made great contributions! That's why God will give you this auspicious plant!"

Pfft!
Yang Xian immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear and trepidation:
"Your Majesty, you are too kind! The prosperity of Yangzhou and the country are all due to your Majesty's good governance, not Yang Xian's efforts! Yang Xian only did some small things under your Majesty's guidance, how dare he take credit for it?"

Old Zhu showed satisfaction at his humble words.

"You have made great achievements but you are not arrogant. We like officials like you who are down-to-earth!"

Zhu Yuanzhang praised him and asked,
"These days, I promoted you to the position of Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat. Are you getting used to it?"

"You haven't been overwhelmed by all the government affairs, have you?"

Yang Xian shook his head repeatedly.

"Your Majesty has entrusted such an important task to me, and I will handle the affairs of state properly even if I have to work day and night!"

He said in a powerful voice,
"I wish to learn from Zhuge Liang and devote myself to serving Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty until my death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"Haha, good, good, as long as I have this spirit, there is nothing I can't do!"

Old Zhu pointed to a pile of memorials on the table and said in a deep voice,
"I called you here today for no other reason than to add some burden to you!"

"We haven't reviewed these memorials yet. Please take them back to the Secretariat for review!"

"After the approval is ready, just ask King Wu to stamp it with the imperial seal!"

Yang Xian: “!!!”

Reviewing memorials to the emperor is the emperor’s exclusive power!
Before this, this power had always been firmly in the hands of His Majesty. Only the Crown Prince could get a part of it, and the other ministers could only watch.

And now... His Majesty actually gave this part of supreme power to himself?
Yang Xian felt a little dizzy.

This happiness came too suddenly!

"The prince's illness this time also made me understand some things."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed,

"As an emperor, you cannot shoulder all government affairs by yourself. You should let ministers share the responsibilities. Only when everyone works together can you avoid being so exhausted."

"The position of Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty has been vacant for a long time. It is time for us to find a candidate."

His eyes fell on Yang Xian.

"Yang Xian, we are very optimistic about you."

Old Zhu said seriously,
"We see a kind of energy in you! An energy that other ministers don't have!"

"To be honest, there are ministers in the court who are more capable than you, but they have too many little thoughts and are not as down-to-earth as you. So, compared to them, I trust you more!"

"Do your best! Do some good things for the country and the people! As long as you do well, we will definitely give you the title of Prime Minister after Zuo Cheng!"

When Yang Xian heard these words, his eyes were already filled with tears of excitement!

"His Majesty!"

Bang bang bang!
He kowtowed several times on the floor tiles, then raised his head and said excitedly:
"Yang Xian will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations and trust!"

Left Prime Minister!

His Majesty actually promised me the position of Prime Minister, which is second only to the emperor and above everyone else!
Could it be that... the ancestral grave of my family is really going to start smoking?
He was only in his thirties, yet he could aspire to be the prime minister and hold great power? !
Thinking about that scene, Yang Xian felt as if his body was about to float up! An excitement that was difficult to conceal burst out from his face and every part of his body.

"Well, let's go."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said,

"Don't let us down."

Yang Xian took a deep breath and managed to calm his excitement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your humble servant...I will take my leave!"

At this moment, he took the memorial from the imperial desk, and his morale was high!
He is definitely going to be the Left Prime Minister!

Seeing Yang Xianxiong leaving the Huagai Palace in a proud and vigorous manner, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and turned to look at Zhu Ju.

But Zhu Ju at this moment was oblivious to what was happening outside the window. He was only focused on stamping his stamps, which made him feel a little unhappy.

"Brat, did you hear the conversation we had with him just now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"I heard it, I'm not deaf."

Snapped!Snapped!
As he spoke, Zhu Ju stamped two more stamps with an expressionless face.

His hands were sore from swinging the jade seal!
"I heard it... hehe."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said,
"In the past, when I summoned ministers, I always asked your elder brother to stand aside so that he could learn how to be a king and how to rule his subordinates from our conversations with the ministers!"

"This time, it's a good deal for you. You get the treatment of a prince all of a sudden!"

"Tell me, what do you think after listening to this question and answer?"

Zhu Ju stopped the jade seal in his hand.

"The pie my dad painted is so big and smells so good!"

He gave a thumbs up and praised,
"The word 'Xiang' is enough to make people excited, willing to work for ten days and nights without eating or drinking!"

"This method... is brilliant! It's really brilliant!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"

"You...are talking nonsense!"

Old Zhu glared and said,
"What do you mean by pie in the sky? What I promised is the real pie in the sky! Ugh...what pie in the sky? It's so vulgar. What I promised is the real position of Left Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yang Xian is a talented person. If he really does a good job, we will definitely give him the position of Prime Minister, without any ambiguity! Your father has always promoted talents regardless of their background! Do you understand?"

Zhu Ju shrugged and said nothing.

"What you should focus on is not our promise, but the groundwork we laid ahead!"

Zhu Yuanzhang taught:

"How do you make the ministers work for you wholeheartedly? This is the most important thing for the emperor!"

"We brought up the matter of the rice ears to awaken his memories and move him - the emperor valued him so much that the rice ears he presented to him that year are still hanging in the palace!"

"Give him some more encouragement and affirmation, and he will feel our appreciation and expectations! In this way, he will be very excited! Finally, I will offer him the position of Prime Minister! Conquer him completely! After that, he will definitely do what I just said - devote all his energy to the cause until his death!"

"This is all progressive, do you understand? In fact, being an emperor is difficult, but it is also simple. It is nothing more than knowing people and managing subordinates! The former can help you distinguish between loyal and treacherous ministers, and the latter is even more powerful. A treacherous minister can become a wise minister in your hands! A mediocre minister can make contributions in the position he is suitable for!"

"If you have time, you can read more biographies of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, or novels and see how he got along with his subordinates and how he made them loyal to him."

Zhu Ju scratched his head.

"No, Dad..."

He said with some doubt,
"I'm not going to be the emperor, why are you telling me this?"

"It's useless to read it. There's no application scenario when the time comes. It's a complete waste of my time!"

"I just want to be a pig-headed prince, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling and living a carefree life. Don't add so much drama to my life!"

Old Zhu's words were almost like training a crown prince, which made Zhu Ju instinctively resist.

"Bullshit! What's the use of reading this? This is all useful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily,

"Our sons are all talented people! They can be used at the critical moment!"

"You are not going to be the emperor, but we plan to let you stay in the center and assist your elder brother in the future, so you must learn these! Do you understand?"

"Follow me carefully!"

In Lao Zhu's mind, a blueprint has already been planned.

The second, third, and fourth brothers all went out to guard the border and became border kings to protect the territory for the Ming Dynasty!

The eldest brother was the emperor and the sixth brother was his deputy. The two brothers held political and military power firmly in their hands and would never let outsiders interfere!
He could only close his eyes in peace when he handed over the entire country to his son.

That is why, what Zhu Biao knows, Zhu Ju must also learn and master!

"Tsk, you're not that good yourself, and you still want me to study hard."

Zhu Ju curled his lips and said,
"You know people well. I think you are also a fool. You treat a cunning man like Yang Xian as a treasure."

"One day, he might give you a big shit! I wonder how you can save your face when that happens."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"

"What do you mean, kid?"

Old Zhu frowned and said,
"Do you think Yang Xian is not a good person?"

"How is he cunning? He is clearly a down-to-earth young official! We have repeatedly confirmed his achievements, there is nothing exaggerated!"

Zhu Ju couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

"No moisture? Then what is this thing behind your head?"

He smiled and said,
"Dad, do you remember when we went back to Fengyang, the Fengyang County Magistrate Lin Xiu also took out a rice ear like this?"

"His one is even bigger than Yang Xian's!"

"Could it be that he has also been rewarded by the heavens and blessed with good fortune? Could it be that in the eyes of the heavens, he is a good official who is down-to-earth and wholeheartedly serves the people?"

"Then why did you kill him in the end and throw his body into the mountains to feed the wolves?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

These words shocked Old Zhu.

He had previously focused on killing Zhu Liangzu, Liao Yongzhong and others, and later, because of Zhu Biao's sudden illness, he had already forgotten about the minor character Lin Xiu!
After being reminded by Zhu Ju, Lao Zhu finally remembered...that this was the case!
"yes……"

"The rice ear he presented seems to be no worse than the one Yang Xian presented..."

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself, turned his head to look at the golden rice ears on the wall, and frowned.

"What the superior likes, the subordinates will certainly follow."

Zhu Ju spread his hands and said,
"Yang Xian is indeed a smart man. He found your vital point right away and used this auspicious rice ear to make you very happy. He immediately promoted him to the center of the government."

"If there is a first one, there will be a second one. Lin Xiu just wanted to do the same thing! He just messed up in the end. If he hadn't messed up, I guess you would have entrusted him with an important task soon, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed.

"You mean, the ear of rice Yang Xian presented is fake?"

His face looked grim. He rushed forward, took down the rice ears on the wall, and examined them carefully.

"…It doesn't look fake. Each grain is distinct. They are real rice ears!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself.

After looking over and over for a long time, he could not find any signs of fraud on the rice ears.

This thing definitely can't be pieced together!

"Well, it's not fake, but don't you think about it, when will our Ming Dynasty be able to grow such big ears of rice? It's fine if Yangzhou has it, but how come Fengyang has it too? It's like mass production..."

Zhu Ju waved his hand and said,
"Alright, alright, just figure it out yourself!"

"I have already stamped all of these. If you need more, come back to me tomorrow!"

"I have to go back to practice. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to practice properly!"

With that said, he was leaving.

He didn't want to point this out directly because he knew his father was a man who cared a lot about his reputation.

Besides, he had no direct evidence to prove that Yang Xian deceived the emperor, and the two sides had no hatred, so why should he go to the trouble of attacking Yang Xian?

After the incident with Lu Zhongheng, Zhu Ju also matured a little... He would rather avoid getting involved in the affairs of the imperial court if possible.

Anyway, my dad can take care of it, so why should I worry about it myself?

Da da.

He was about to leave when he heard a voice.

"His Majesty."

The attendant said respectfully,
"Master Xuan Yang has been summoned and is waiting outside the palace gate."

Zhu Yuanzhang was frowning and thinking hard, so he didn't pay attention to this sentence. But Zhu Ju's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master is here! So soon?"

He was surprised.

"Okay, okay, please come in quickly and take him directly to my King Wu's residence!"

"Dad, I'm going to go back and pay my respects to Master first! Goodbye!" Before he finished speaking, Zhu Ju had already run out!
"You bastard, you've never been so respectful to me..."

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered something, turned his head and continued to stare at the rice ears.

The more he thought about it, the more his heart sank.

Thinking of the praise and encouragement he had just given to Yang Xian, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a little embarrassed!

If I was really deceived by him, how could I put my face aside? !
Not really, shouldn’t be…

Yang Xian's political achievements were all real. He could indeed be considered an able official, and he was practical and efficient in his work... Given his temperament, he would not have deceived the emperor like this.

"...Someone, tell Mao Xiang to come see us."

Zhu Yuanzhang whispered.

Either he has no doubt at all, or as soon as he has the slightest doubt, Lao Zhu will get to the bottom of it!

This is his character!

...,

The residence of King Wu.

Zhu Ju stood at the door, looking forward to it, and saw Peng Xuan, wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, walking up slowly under the guidance of a eunuch.

"Master!"

"I miss you so much!"

Zhu Ju shouted and quickly went forward!

"Hey - you kid."

Peng Xuan also laughed when he saw Zhu Ju, pointed at Zhu Ju's face and said,

"Did you practice well during the time when your master was away?"

"You haven't fallen behind in your homework, have you?"

Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly.

"Of course! I am so determined to pursue the Tao, how could I possibly fall behind?"

He said proudly,

"Except for the few days when I was away, I did my homework every day!"

Peng Xuan nodded slightly, pulled Zhu Ju's sleeve, looked him up and down, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Ok?"

"Stretch out your hand so I can see it."

Zhu Ju obediently stretched out his hands.

Peng Xuan placed his fingers on Zhu Ju's pulse and felt it carefully with his eyes closed.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Zhu Ju became a little nervous when he saw this... He knew that Peng Xuan was a doctor, and his level was not low.

Could it be that there is something wrong with me?
"Your internal energy has become much stronger!"

Peng Xuan was surprised.
"Even if you practice in the mountains every day, you will never achieve this effect."

"What good fortune have you had recently?"

Zhu Ju scratched his head.

"Good fortune? Oh... Last time I followed Master's instructions and went to meet the purple-robed man."

He said,

"It was a girl. I knocked a lot of things off her. There were two pills in it, called something like Old Slave Canglong Pill, and another one called something like Zhuangdu Pill... I can't remember clearly."

Peng Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, stroking his beard and saying:
"That's it, I say."

"They are quite honest. They didn't fool you with junk. The Blue Dragon Pill and the Banlong Zhuangdu Pill are both rare medicinal pills that can greatly replenish your energy. I also have the recipes, but they are difficult to make and it is also troublesome to collect the natural treasures. Next time I go back to Sanqing Mountain, I will give you the recipes. As a prince, it will be much easier for you to collect the natural treasures."

Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, now that I have the recipe, I can eat it!"

He went to meet Peng Xuan and entered the residence of the King of Wu, and said in a low voice,

"Come on, Master, let's talk inside."

"Jianqi, take out the best tea in my room and make it for my master!"

Jianqi did not dare to delay and quickly ran to make tea.

Your Highness’s master is a true distinguished guest!

"Crack them like beans? You kid..."

Peng Xuan shook his head and laughed.
"If you are not afraid of death, then you can just eat beans!"

"These two kinds of elixirs are usually used when you are trying to break through a barrier. If you take them carelessly, you might end up ruining yourself!"

"Eh...you've already eaten?"

Zhu Ju looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Yes! I ate it right away. I ate two at the same time."

He responded truthfully,

"I drank quite a bit of wine! At that time, I felt full of strength, as if I had endless energy!"

"Master, let me tell you something! I was in that brothel..."

Zhu Ju told Peng Xuan a story with such excitement that Peng Xuan was stunned.

"Did you eat together?"

"Are you still drinking?"

"And he was put in jail afterwards? He was hungry for a day?"

"Oh my Dao Ancestor! You are so lucky to be alive and kicking now! If it were someone else, you would have been crippled long ago!"

Peng Xuan was stunned when he heard Zhu Ju's legendary experience.

"Ah? Really?"

Zhu Ju scratched his head and said in confusion,
"Is it that serious?"

"I just felt a little tired and very hungry... Later my mother brought me a sumptuous meal, and I ate it all in one go, and I was fine."

"I feel refreshed and energetic! This medicine may really work!"

Peng Xuan: “…”

"...Alas! It's also my fault. I left in such a hurry that I only taught you a little bit of practical skills, but didn't improve your knowledge."

He shook his head and sighed.
"Fortunately, you are gifted, so nothing went wrong."

"I'll ask your senior brother to bring you some books later. Take a good look at the basic knowledge of cultivation to prevent this kind of thing from happening again!"

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the inner courtyard.

Jianqi served two cups of tea and bowed respectfully before leaving.

Peng Xuan looked at Zhu Ju again and nodded:
"Anyway, you have done your best in schoolwork and you are very talented. You have achieved some accomplishments now."

"I will teach you the subsequent exercises. The main focus at first is refining essence, and then I will teach you how to gather energy."

Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly.

"okay!"

He is absolutely unwilling to take charge of government affairs, but if he is asked to practice cultivation, he is absolutely eager to try and is in high spirits!
"How good is your jade pendant?"

Peng Xuan took a sip of tea and asked casually.

Wow.

Zhu Ju took out the jade pendant and placed it on the table.

"Here, it's almost blue."

"It's just one step away from turning purple!"

Peng Xuan: “?!”

He picked up the jade pendant and took a look. Seeing the blue-green luster sparkling in the sunlight, he could not help but say:
"You're making your dad angry, aren't you?"

"Isn't your father mad at you? It's only been a few months and it's already come to this stage?!"

Zhu Ju smiled and scratched his head.

indeed.

Although there were a few times when I got it for free, it was true... most of the time I made my dad mad to death.

"Two pills... Now you can go ask the purple-clothed man for treasures again."

Peng Xuan thought about it and said,

"Have you been there?"

Zhu Ju nodded.

"Master, wait a moment. I'll get it right away."

Having said that, he stood up and ran into the west wing.

In a moment, Zhu Ju placed the two boxes in front of Peng Xuan and gently opened them.

A transparent, round bead came into view.

"Eh...is this?"

Peng Xuan carefully placed the bead in his hand, examined it carefully for a while, and then said in surprise,
"This is the Dragon Ball!"

Zhu Ju's eyes lit up.

"Master really knows its origin!"

He even said,
"I originally thought it was just an ordinary night-shining pearl and was a little disgusted with it, but in the end, the girl looked down on me and said I didn't know the value of it."

"Master, what is this thing used for?"

Peng Xuan gently stroked the Dragon Attracting Pearl with his hand, and after a moment of hesitation, he said:

"This thing is really useless to ordinary people, but it is very useful to you."

"Because you are the prince of Ming Dynasty."

"First, let's talk about what a dragon is - the dragon here is not the dragon flying in the sky, but the dragon in the earth veins, commonly known as dragon veins."

"There are two main dragon veins in China, both originating from Kunlun. One is the Yellow River, and the other is the Yangtze River. Along the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the dragon veins have countless branches. In places with suitable terrain and mountains, they will form caves. Those large and small dragon veins are occupied by people and used as tombs, so that they can use the dragon veins and earth energy to bless their descendants."

"This is the principle of Feng Shui masters' search for dragon points and acupuncture points."

Zhu Ju suddenly realized.

He had some knowledge of Feng Shui, so it was easy for him to understand.

The hole where the stone bull entered the sea by the ancestors of the Zhu family was probably a relatively large dragon vein, which was why it allowed emperors to be born among their descendants.

"Since ancient times, the Chinese have followed the northern dragon, which is the dragon vein of the Yellow River. Only after the Song and Yuan dynasties did the southern dragon begin to operate."

Peng Xuan stroked his beard and said,
"The Ming Dynasty is following the Southern Dragon, which is the dragon vein along the Yangtze River."

"However, the dragon vein of the North Dragon is still running, but it has almost reached the end. Who knows, under the stimulation of the North Dragon, another emperor will be born in the north, and a powerful dynasty with a national life span of hundreds of years will be born!"

Zhu Ju was shocked when he heard this.

"Where is the end of the Northern Dragon?"

he asked quickly.

Although he is a time traveler, after adapting for a period of time, Zhu Ju has already regarded himself as a part of the Ming Dynasty and loves his country!
He didn't want the Ming Dynasty to be replaced by another dynasty...besides, the next dynasty would be the evil Qing Dynasty!
"I'm not sure... I think it's in the Changbai Mountain area."

Peng Xuan thought for a moment and said uncertainly,

"It should be there. If we go out again, we will be out to sea."

Zhu Ju: “?!”

Changbai Mountain?
Isn’t that where the Jurchens live?
"Master, is there any way to cut off the dragon vein of Beilong?"

Zhu Ju hurriedly said,

"There should be a similar method in Taoism, right?"

"I heard that there was a group of alchemists who specialized in cutting off the dragon veins for Qin Shi Huang, right?"

The dragon vein of Changbai Mountain must be cut!

The threat to the Ming Dynasty is too great!
"Yes, there is, but it is against the harmony of nature."

Peng Xuan nodded and said,
"You have to know that the dragon vein is the product of the creation of heaven and earth. It has a certain spirituality."

"If you cut it off, it will cause great harm to yourself, don't you understand? It will mainly damage your virtue."

When Zhu Ju heard this, his eyes became firm.

"Damage to one's virtue? I'm not afraid!"

"As long as the Ming dynasty lasts forever and is not invaded or replaced by other races, what does my personal good deeds matter?"

At this moment, a sense of national justice emerged in him!

He knew deeply what the Qing army's entry into the pass meant...Ten Days in Yangzhou, Three Massacres in Jiading!

Become a slave, shave your head and change your clothes!
That was the most miserable and darkest era for ordinary people!
In fact, Zhu Ju took a lot of what his father said today.

Brothers, work together to govern the Ming Dynasty well and bring benefits to the people!

The people of this world are all the people of the Zhu family! How could he bear to see his people being ravaged by foreign races hundreds of years later?

"That's quite true!"

Peng Xuan praised,
"But the movement of heaven and earth and the shifting of the stars all have their own laws."

"Have you ever read the book 'Huangji Jingshi' written by Shao Yong of the Northern Song Dynasty? Everything has its variables and its constants."

"You can't just cut off the dragon vein and everything will be fine. Even if you cut it off, it will cause worse consequences. Just look at it yourself. Didn't the Qin Dynasty fall in the second generation?"

Zhu Ju frowned slightly and nodded.

Yes, it seems that cutting off the dragon vein is not a good idea.

"What should we do?"

He was lost in thought, and was in a bad mood at the moment.

Thinking that the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed and replaced by the Qing Dynasty more than 200 years later...he felt uncomfortable all over!
"Haha, in this situation, won't this treasure come in handy?"

Peng Xuan pointed to the Dragon Attracting Ball in his hand and said with a smile,
"Dragons love pearls, and the same is true for dragon vein spirits. By activating this object, the dragon vein spirit can be drawn out and attached to the pearl."

"When you find a suitable place, you can bury this bead there, and the dragon vein will be able to complete its migration, right?"

"Isn't this better than just cutting it off?"

When Zhu Ju heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master means..."

"I will find an opportunity, use this bead to draw out the dragon vein from Changbai Mountain, and then bury it in the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty?"

"This way... not only can we cut off the luck of foreign races, but we can also transfer it to the Ming Dynasty, allowing the Ming Dynasty to prolong its prosperity for hundreds more years!"

"My idea... is it correct?!"
