The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 349 Three Major Events (5800 words)
Just as Tuoba Bodhisattva said, the Song, Liyang and Sui dynasties had no choice.

They knew that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to unify the world, it would never let the Three Kingdoms go.

Therefore, the panic of the top leaders of the Three Kingdoms was actually no less than that of the top leaders of the Jin, Liao, and Yuan Dynasties.

Even slightly better.

State of Song.

Zhao Gou was in a daze for a long time. He was a smart man.

Naturally, I understand the current situation, which is unfavorable to the Song Dynasty.

Will the Ming Dynasty let the Song Dynasty go?

impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

It's just a matter of time.

"Your Majesty, Lord Qin is here." At this time, a eunuch said carefully.

"Announce it quickly." Zhao Gou said hurriedly.

An official who was not very old walked in. He was Qin Hui, the official whom Zhao Gou trusted most recently.

"Your Majesty." Qin Hui bowed respectfully.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me what I should do now?" Zhao Gou said in a panic that he could not hide.

"Your Majesty, have the five celestial beings including Temujin really been captured by the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop?" Qin Hui asked solemnly.

"It can't be wrong." Zhao Gou clenched his fists and said with undisguised fear: "Temujin and Bashiba have both died at the hands of Zhu Hou and Emperor Shengwu.

Pang Ban and the two celestial beings who assisted the Mongols, whom the Ming Dynasty had announced were the Xiao brothers, were captured alive by Emperor Shengwu himself.

I don't know where he is being held now?

Temujin's head and body were both made public.

There is nothing wrong with any of these.”

Qin Hui's eyes fluctuated violently for several breaths, and he felt helpless and frightened.

There really is no chance!

He became Zhao Gou's confidant.

Hey~!

He sighed in his heart, his thoughts turned rapidly, and he said decisively and seriously: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to immediately send an envoy to Ming.

Pay tribute to Emperor Shengwu."

“Right, right, right.” Zhao Gou woke up as if from a dream and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, Qin Qing, you are right.

It is time to send an envoy immediately to pay tribute and pledge obedience."

"The emperor is wise." Qin Hui said.

"What's next?" Zhao Gou asked.

"Official, what will happen next depends on the situation?
But no matter what, we must not give Ming any sign of disrespect to Song." Qin Hui said in a deep voice.

Zhao Gou nodded again, of course he understood this.

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Qin Qing, do you think there is hope if all the countries join forces?"

"Your Majesty!" Qin Hui was shocked. He never expected that Zhao Gou would come up with such a stupid idea. He quickly whispered, "Will the strong men of our Song Dynasty join forces with foreign races to deal with the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhao Gou's expression suddenly became even uglier. He gritted his teeth and said quickly, "Just pretend I never said that."

"Yes, I understand." Qin Hui replied.

"By the way, you should go on this mission in person and contact the princess of the Song Dynasty to see if she has any needs?" Zhao Gou said.

"Yes."

····
Liyang.

The Liyang royal family and high-level officials, who had been staying in the country and watching the developments in the world, were now truly anxious, panicked and afraid.

He no longer cared about the internal strife and focused all his attention on thinking about how to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

After a period of debate and silence, another delegation went to Ming Dynasty with a similar mission.

Surrender and pay tribute.

···
Beiliang.

Xu Xiao and Li Yishan also remained silent for a long time.

"The situation has changed so suddenly. Man proposes, God disposes. The Ming Dynasty is now unstoppable." Li Yishan sighed.

There was a look of helplessness and loneliness on his face.

In the face of absolute power, all strategies are useless.

The Ming Dynasty now possesses this absolute power.

"Let's increase our ties with Bluebird and directly publicize this relationship." Xu Xiao remained silent for a moment, then said decisively.

"Yeah." Li Yishan had no objection.

···
Sui Dynasty.

If Song and Li Yang were in panic, then the high-ranking officials of Sui, mainly Yang Guang, Yang Lin and others, were in utter despair.

There is no way, there is no way at all.

The Sui Dynasty may not necessarily be the Ming Dynasty's first target.

"Your Majesty, it is time to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to pledge allegiance and pay tribute." Yang Lin, who had just returned from the north, looked at Yang Guang and said in a deep voice.

He is not afraid of death, and he doesn't want to kneel down to the enemy country.

But if he could die fighting for the Sui Dynasty, what would happen to the Yang family?
The Sui Dynasty was beyond salvation, and he had to consider the survival of the Yang family.

"I know, I know. Wang Shuni, please do it yourself and don't disturb my interest." Yang Guang said drunkenly.

As he spoke, he picked up another glass of wine and drank it, as if he had fallen into a state of drunkenness.

After receiving the news and confirming that Temujin and his five companions had been captured by the Ming Dynasty, Yang Guang acted like this.

It was as if he had completely let go of everything and indulged in wine and sex.

Yang Lin sighed lightly and didn't want to say anything more.

Yang Guang was completely waiting for death.

What can I say?

After hesitating for a moment, he turned and walked away, his back bent a little.

···
There are not only the three grassland powers of Jin, Liao and Yuan, but also the three Han powers of Song, Sui and Liyang.

The Mongol Yuan Dynasty, which had almost been abolished, was quickly taken over by the Ilkhanate, which was the most intact, and sent envoys to express their willingness to pay tribute.

There were also small countries such as Xixia, Tubo, Tiele, Dali, Goryeo, etc., all of which sent envoys.

They all had to bow down and submit.

The impact of this battle is really too great.

It can be said that this game decides everything.

All the countries in the world were defeated at once, and looking around, no country dared to stand.

One after another, they rushed to the Ming Dynasty and knelt down in submission.

Even Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised by this momentum.

But more than that, I felt proud and happy.

These people are quite sensible.

Then I didn't pay much attention to these countries.

Because there are no longer any enemies worthy of his attention, these countries are just dishes in his eyes.

At this time, he was more willing to immerse himself in the overall joy and excitement of the Ming Dynasty, and to go into seclusion.

On September 16, he returned to the capital of the Ming Dynasty with everyone.

Return with swagger and without disguise.

The three captives, as well as the bodies of Temujin and Bashiba, were placed in front of everyone in the capital.

The capital city is boiling.

Few people could have imagined that suddenly, the Ming Dynasty would achieve such brilliant and stunning results.

Everyone also knew that from now on, no one could resist the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is invincible!

Your Majesty is invincible!

The Ming Dynasty unified the world!
The boiling shouts resounded through the sky.

This day is a carnival in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for a few people, everyone showed sincere joy, excitement, pride and honor.

This excitement and carnival spread like the wind to the entire Ming Dynasty.

The top leaders of other countries were all in a panic.

The entire Ming Dynasty was in a collective carnival.

The emotions of fanaticism and worship spread wildly in the Ming Dynasty.

The three words "Emperor Shengwu" seemed to encompass the entire Ming Dynasty and cover everything.

The progress of reform has been rapid, and there seems to be no more obstacles.

Those martial arts forces that had just joined the Ming Dynasty court truly let go of their grudges and resistance and began to integrate.

The impact of this war, internally, is also greater than any other in the past, promoting integration and development.

On the second day after his return, Zhu Houzhao was happy for a while and then went into seclusion.

Because his will is rapidly increasing, his strength is also growing rapidly.

This state already existed after Temujin was killed.

After returning to the capital and watching the boiling scene, it reached its climax.

Then Zhu Houzhao went into seclusion, hoping to maximize his strength.

This retreat will last for seven days.

Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Fifth Level (130388/300000)

The fourth level of Mingshen Wudian (210777/210777)

Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes, looked at Tianfu, and a smile appeared on his lips.

In just seven days, the fifth level of the Thirteen Tai Chi Postures increased by about seven thousand, which is still a small number.

The most important thing is the Mingshenwudian, which has increased by about 20,000, which can be said to be a leap forward.

Moreover, the next period of time will be a time of rapid growth in strength.

After being happy for a while, he got up and left.

One is that tomorrow is his nineteenth birthday.

Second, during this period of national joy in the Ming Dynasty, he did not want to remain in seclusion and not join in.

Seven days of seclusion is enough. At worst, you can just work harder at practicing for a while later.

It has to be said that after capturing Temujin and his five companions, Zhu Houzhao's urgency for his own strength has been greatly reduced.

Anyway, he is already invincible, so there is no need to rush in these few days.

Zhu Houzhao's departure from the border undoubtedly raised the excitement in the capital to a higher level.

Some people who saw Zhu Houzhao go into seclusion as soon as he returned and were secretly worried that he might get hurt also felt relieved.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao issued an edict to hold a grand court meeting tomorrow.

Suddenly, all the civil and military officials became even more excited.

Because they have already guessed that this is His Majesty's move to unify the world.

They couldn't help it either.

Dominate the world!
Build an unprecedented empire and great achievements!
What a wonderful 'temptation'!
The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are now all excited and full of energy.

September 24th.

At daybreak, thousands of civil and military officials arrived at the palace.

Everyone had a smile on their face and they were chatting and laughing in groups of three or five.

When the time came, a long team was sent into the Fengtian Hall.

Then, they discovered that there were fourteen more chairs in the Fengtian Hall.

Before they could think about it, Zhu Houzhao arrived, and he brought with him fourteen stunningly beautiful fairies.

Many people raised their eyebrows, looked helpless, and then pretended not to see it. "You sit there." Zhu Houzhao said to the women.

The women who were woken up and brought here early in the morning, feeling somewhat confused, calmly took their seats.

Then Zhu Houzhao strode to the throne, turned around and sat down.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, may you be in good health!" The ministers bowed and the women also stood up and bowed.

"An." Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and said a word. As if there were nails on the seat, he jumped up habitually, took two steps forward, put one hand on his waist, and looked at the thousands of Ming officials with high spirits.

"Today is my birthday, and it is also the first grand court meeting after my Ming Dynasty defeated Temujin and others.

I think this is a very important day for me.

So, I asked my wives to come and witness it as well.

Is there any problem?" Zhu Houzhao was the first to talk about this, quite proud of it.

This was a sudden idea he came up with this morning.

He was also very impatient for this grand court meeting, especially as it was his birthday.

How can such an important day be celebrated without the witness of family members?
He called all his wives over.

The girls suddenly realized that this was the reason.

I immediately felt happy and amused.

I am glad that Your Majesty cares about them and calls them here to witness on a day like this, regardless of the rules and etiquette.

It's funny, it's His Majesty's childish personality coming out again.

This is also the performance of the ministers at this moment.

After hearing the words of their own Majesty, the officials suddenly felt that there was nothing strange or unacceptable about it.

Just like in this world, there are no difficulties or enemies that can stand in front of Your Majesty.

There are no rules or etiquette in this world that can restrain Your Majesty.

It seems that there is nothing Your Majesty dare not do.

Just let the concubines come to Fengtian Hall to attend the grand court meeting.

What can they do?

Of course it is the default.

Who dares to object?

“Your Majesty, allowing all the ladies to come and witness today’s grand court meeting is a testament to the harmony and happiness of your Majesty’s family. This is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and it is also a good piece of evidence.

It is we who failed to congratulate Your Majesty on your birthday in time. This is our fault. Please punish us, Your Majesty." A figure stepped out decisively from the front rank of civil servants and said loudly.

After hearing the first half of the words, many civil and military officials snorted in disdain.

How shameless! He spreads slander to confuse the emperor.

The next person they met was the newly appointed Minister of Revenue Zhang Cong, which made many people even more dissatisfied.

After hearing the second half of the words, the officials immediately saluted in unison and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me."

More people cursed Zhang Cong in their hearts.

You try to please His Majesty and drag us down with you to belittle him. You are not worthy of being a human being.

"Hahaha." Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and waved his hand, saying, "I don't blame you.

My birthday is celebrated every year. It would be troublesome if you congratulated me every year.

I don’t have time to listen to your congratulations.”

After a pause, he said loudly, "Okay, let's talk about the matter."

Among the thousands of officials, some who wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor immediately retracted their steps.

Each face looked more serious, with an implicit sense of anticipation and excitement.

"You all know that a few days ago, I brought the masters of our Ming Dynasty and captured Temujin's five overconfident men in one fell swoop.

From now on, our Ming Dynasty will have no rivals.

There is no one and nothing that can stand in the way of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said with more vigor and ambition.

The emotions of the ministers became high and their blood boiled.

"Long live my emperor!"

The orderly voice echoed far into the sky.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhu Houzhao showed undisguised pride and laughed triumphantly.

When the laughter subsided, he continued, "It is just around the corner for our Great Ming to unify the world.

Don’t you think so?

"Yes!"

The civil servant was quite reserved and did not dare to respond to such vulgar words.

But the general had no such scruples and immediately shouted enthusiastically.

This response also prompted most of the civil servants to speak up.

"Hahaha."

Zhu Houzhao laughed triumphantly again, feeling extremely happy.

It’s a pity that there are not enough people. It should be held outside Fengtian Gate.

At that time, there were many Ming people, and they were definitely more enthusiastic.

However, he also knew that there were important military and political matters that were not suitable to be held outside the Fengtian Gate, so he gave up the idea of ​​moving the occasion outside the Fengtian Gate.

In the future, other things can be done more outside the Fengtian Gate.

“Of course, you must not be proud, let alone arrogant.

You still have to follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty, understand?" The laughter stopped, and Zhu Houzhao reprimanded seriously again.

"I understand."

Thousands of people responded in unison.

As for who is the most proud and arrogant person in the whole court, of course no one dares to say it.

It is normal for Your Majesty to be proud, arrogant, and even domineering.

Besides, it’s already this time, so what’s wrong with being proud and arrogant?
"Okay, let's talk about the details now." Zhu Houzhao's tone became serious and he looked at Gu Xichao: "How is the military cabinet doing?"

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, Admiral Zheng has personally led the navy to transport troops from the East Japan Island to the south of Sui State. They are no longer hiding and are moving at a faster pace.

It is expected that by early October, all ten armies will be transported to the south of Sui State."

“In the Sui Kingdom, the Taiyuan Li family in the north and the Song family in the south of the Five Ridges are already prepared.

We can raise the flag of the Ming Dynasty at any time and capture cities and territories."

Gu Xichao stood up and said.

Wang Shouren rushed back to Bianliang on the same day. Although he was sure that the Jin and Liao kingdoms would not dare to go south, the safety of countless Ming people and soldiers was at stake, so he could not take any chances. Therefore, Wang Shouren had to rush back and stay in Bianliang.

After Duke Zheng returned from the Sui Dynasty, he immediately continued to lead the navy to transport the army, food, fodder, weapons, etc.

At this time, the military cabinet became Gu Xichao, who had the highest official position and power, and only he could stand up and speak.

“Okay, tell Li Jing and the others to mobilize immediately when they are ready.

There is no need to hide anything anymore, and take over the entire Sui Kingdom for me as quickly as possible." Zhu Houzhao ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Jin and Gu Xichao responded in unison.

"The situation of the Song and Li families and their armies should be reorganized by our Ming Dynasty as soon as possible if the time is right. The Military Council should discuss this matter." Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said.

Normally, the affairs of the Song and Li families should be kept confidential and should not be revealed in front of so many officials.

But the current situation is not normal.

It doesn't matter then.

Just show your cards and sweep away everything.

"Yes, I understand." Gu Xichao replied.

"Are you ready for the comprehensive reform of West Nine Road?" Zhu Houzhao looked at the cabinet.

"Reporting to Your Majesty." Liu Jian stood up and saluted, "Now, the autumn harvest in West Nine Road has been completed.

The court is also ready to launch comprehensive reforms at any time."

"Well, is the Martial Arts Hall on West 9th Road ready?" Zhu Houzhao nodded and looked at Zhu Ye.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the West Nine Roads plan is to build nine martial arts branch halls. The candidates have been prepared and can be carried out at any time." Zhu Ye said.

"Where are the factory guards?" Zhu Houzhao looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Eastern Factory, and the Western Factory, which had a low presence.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei are ready and can take action at any time." Guo Bujing saluted and responded.

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Depot is always supervising." Cao Zhengchun followed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Western Factory has also done a good job of supervision." Cao Youxiang continued.

"Okay, everything is ready. There is no need to wait any longer. Carry out comprehensive reforms on West Jiu Road immediately." Zhu Houzhao said without question.

"Yes."

The Cabinet, the Six Ministries, the Imperial Guards, and the Martial Arts Hall all responded.

Comprehensive reform means suppressing all those who are dissatisfied on West 9th Road, and these departments must work together to achieve this.

After confirming the two most important military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao talked about another very important matter.

"Decree that in the two capitals and thirteen provinces where the Ming Dynasty has completed its reform, in addition to the county school, a county martial arts academy will be established. Students from the community school must pass the exam to enter, and the school term is three years.

Fifteen more martial arts academies will be established, and students from county martial arts academies can pass the entrance examination.

There is one martial arts academy in each province among these fifteen. Of course, as long as students pass the exams, they can freely choose which martial arts academy to go to, and no one can force them.

The eight major sects and Mount Longhu were transformed into martial arts academies in each province.

For example, Wudang Martial Arts Academy, Shaolin Martial Arts Academy, and Longhu Martial Arts Academy.

Each of the remaining provinces, including Northern Zhili, established a martial arts academy from scratch.

These fifteen martial arts academies and the county martial arts academy are directly under the jurisdiction of the Martial Arts Hall, and no one else has the power to interfere.

Do you understand everything?" Zhu Houzhao said what he had thought of long ago.

This should have been announced and done long ago.

But because of Temujin and his five men, it has been delayed until now.

We can't delay any longer. Every year we delay, many people with excellent martial arts talents will waste a year.

When the voice came out, most people were startled.

This matter has serious implications.

No, it may very likely affect the future survival of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the martial arts academy, the eight major sects and Longhu Mountain were transformed into martial arts academies, recruiting students who stand out from the county martial arts academy.

There is no doubt that the influence of the Eight Major Sects and Longhu Mountain will become greater and greater in the future.

This is not a good thing.

As long as Your Majesty is here, we can naturally suppress it.

What if Your Majesty is no longer here?

Many officials frowned and felt worried.

But at this time, it was impossible for them to stand up and oppose.

In this matter, His Majesty directly issued an imperial decree. Who dares to speak out against it?

People from the Martial Arts Hall and other relevant departments stepped forward to receive the order.

"Okay, we have finished talking about the military and political affairs."

Zhu Houzhao said this, and glanced at everyone, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn and serious.

"Everyone, the Ming Dynasty's march to unify the world has officially begun, and it will move forward unstoppably.

On this road, Daming will not wait for anyone.

If anyone fails to keep up or makes a mistake, the Ming Dynasty will not forgive anyone.

Do you understand everything?" Zhu Houzhao shouted sternly.

Everyone's hearts instinctively tensed up, and they responded in unison: "We understand."

"Well, let's retire."

Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation.
