The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 350: Arrogant (4000 words)
Zhu Houzhao left with his entire family, feeling refreshed and happy.

The people in the court began to disperse in groups of three or five, discussing various issues.

Most of the discussion was about the three things just mentioned.

There weren't many surprises regarding the military cabinet.

In the eyes of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty is now like a piece of meat in the mouth of the Ming Dynasty. It will be eaten sooner or later, and no one will be surprised.

The same is true for the comprehensive reform of West Nine Road.

Your Majesty's desire for reform, coupled with the results of the reforms in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, means that comprehensive reform of the Western Nine Route will come sooner or later.

With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, West Nine Route is just a piece of meat that no one can resist.

It just requires a large number of officials and martial arts forces, as well as time.

Think about the reforms of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. It began to be experimented in Shanxi in the first year of the Shengwu reign, and it has been seven years now.

All we can say is that the reform was successful.

But it still takes time to consolidate the effects of the reform.

This is still the Ming Dynasty's homeland, the place where the Ming Dynasty court has the deepest control.

Of course, with the current strength and power of the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely not take that long to build the West Ninth Route.

But it won’t be done in a year or two, it still takes a long time.

What really got everyone talking was the third thing.

The matter of the county martial arts academy and the fifteen martial arts academies.

The county martial arts academy recruits students from community schools, which means that the martial arts power of the Ming Dynasty will be cultivated on a large scale.

In the future, there will be more and more warriors in the Ming Dynasty.

This is not a good thing for literati.

There are also fifteen martial arts academies, and these fifteen martial arts academies are destined to occupy an important position in the Ming Dynasty.

If this trend continues, almost all of the future martial arts masters of the Ming Dynasty will come from these fifteen martial arts academies.

The horror of this is self-evident.

There is not a single civil or military official in the court who can be looked down upon.

Even the women who returned with Zhu Houzhao were all thinking about something.

They all keenly realized the importance of these fifteen martial arts universities.

However, seeing that Zhu Houzhao looked very happy, no one said much. They just listened to Zhu Houzhao talking ambitiously as he walked.

"Now I am completely invincible, and the Ming Dynasty is also invincible. No one can stop us from unifying the world.

One year, never mind, it’s better to wait a little longer, three years.

Within three years, I will completely conquer the four major parts of China."

“At the same time, we will reorganize the grasslands and those small countries, and make them all submit to the Ming Dynasty.

Then, I will spend another ten years to comprehensively reform the four major parts of China.

By then, our Ming Dynasty will be so powerful that no one has ever seen before or will ever be able to surpass us."

“In another five years, we will bring the grasslands and those small countries under the rule of our Ming Dynasty.

Spend another five years exploring how big this world is.

Plant the flag of our Ming Dynasty in every corner..."

Zhu Houzhao kept talking about his initial plan all the way, and he was dancing with his hands and feet from time to time, full of lofty ambitions.

All the girls watched with smiles on their faces, even though the words sounded a bit far-fetched.

But when it came from the mouth of the man in front of them, even though they found it incredible, they couldn't help but feel convinced.

It seems that no matter how incredible the words are, they will come true if they come from the other person's mouth.

It was not until they reached the Qianqing Palace that Zhu Houzhao stopped, feeling unsatisfied.

Afterwards, he did not do anything else that day, and neither did the women.

The whole family celebrated Zhu Houzhao's birthday in the Qianqing Palace.

It was just a birthday, and Zhu Houzhao didn't care much about it. But the timing was indeed special, so he was overjoyed and began to take it seriously.

The day was spent in joy.

In the following days, envoys from various countries began to enter the Ming territory one after another.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about these. Now these countries are begging him, what does he care about?
I don’t plan to meet them one by one. I will just meet them all at once and see which country is not coming.
Which country has the least gifts?
After his 19th birthday, Zhu Houzhao focused more on cultivation and three major events.

Needless to say, cultivation is still in a period of rapid progress.

The three major events were handled very well by the Military Council and the Cabinet, and were carried out in an orderly manner.

The most troublesome thing is the affairs of the county martial arts academy and the fifteen martial arts academies.

The fifteen martial arts academies are still easy to deal with for now. We need to build the places first, and we still have to wait for the students. After all, the county martial arts academy has not yet been officially established.

The most troublesome thing nowadays is the County Military Academy.

Selecting the right teachers is not an easy task.

It’s not that the Ming Dynasty does not have enough masters now, but thanks to the Ming Dynasty’s current prosperity, it has control over everything.

All the masters of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world can be used by the imperial court.

This was the confidence that gave Zhu Houzhao the ability to establish the county military academy.

But it is troublesome to select those who have good character, status and strength.

It's not just the county military academy, the same is true for community schools.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty did not have enough warriors to serve as martial arts teachers in community schools.

Therefore, the martial arts training in community schools in various places is not well organized.

This time, even the county martial arts academy has been established, so of course, the martial arts teachers of the community school must also be replenished.

This is not so easy to make up.

The community studies martial arts, and what we learn is Shengwu boxing.

It can be said that from the community martial arts school to the county martial arts academy, what we learned was Shengwu boxing.

Shengwu boxing can allow students to reach the peak level of acquired realm.

Although there are many warriors in the Ming Dynasty, relatively speaking, there are not that many who can practice Shengwu Fist to a sufficient level.

The Ming Dynasty will have to train another group of people.

In short, it is not something that can be done just by talking about it to build community schools, county martial arts academies, and fifteen martial arts academies that completely cover the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

It will take years or even longer.

After reading the plan of the Martial Arts Hall, Zhu Houzhao felt dizzy and troubled, so he handed all the matters over to the Martial Arts Hall, with the assistance of relevant departments such as the Imperial College, and he continued to serve as a supervisor.

As October approaches, the comprehensive reform of West Jiu Road has been officially implemented.

With the experience of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, as well as a large number of reform officials who have been trained, and absolute military suppression, everything is going well for the time being.

Within the territory of Sui.

Li Jing, Yue Fei and others also officially sent out troops.

Li Jing was the main force, and Yue Fei and seven other armies were the sub-armies. They dispersed and attacked various places in the south of the Sui Dynasty with great momentum.

Wherever it goes, there is no resistance.

The Song family also directly raised the banner of the Ming Dynasty and followed the Ming army to capture cities.

In everyone's eyes, the dispatch of troops by Li Jing and others meant that the Sui Dynasty was about to be completely destroyed.

When the news spread, countries all over the world became even more panicked. Even the big countries felt a sense of grief over the loss of the rabbit.

But it was useless. All they could do was to secretly strengthen themselves and hide their strength.

On the surface, they dare not go against the current Ming Dynasty at all.

When the Ming army occupied large tracts of land in the Sui Dynasty, envoys from various countries arrived in the Ming capital one after another.

And they are all countries with certain strength and reputation.

There are more than 40 stores of all sizes.

After each family arrived, they asked to see Emperor Shengwu one after another. Zhu Houzhao naturally ignored them until October 10th.

After seeing that the envoys from some famous countries had arrived, Zhu Houzhao issued an edict to hold a court meeting the next day to meet these envoys together.

The next day, outside Chengtian Gate.

All the civil and military officials, royal family members, and nobles were present. Those who should have come came, and those who didn't have to come also came.

Nothing else, just watching the fun with pride.

The various countries paid tribute and were specially arranged by His Majesty to meet outside Chengtian Gate, apparently wanting the people of the capital to watch this grand scene of the Ming Dynasty together.

Few people want to miss it.

As time passed, more and more people from the capital came.

The people of the capital have experienced such grand scenes many times and are quite experienced. A large crowd gathered and all kinds of discussions were heard.

Almost all of them were proud and arrogant voices, discussing the various countries' submission and tribute.

Halfway through Chen hour.

Zhu Houzhao arrived with his entire family.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Wei Jinzhong's voice spread throughout half of the capital.

Then, Zhu Houzhao stood on the Chengtian Gate Tower and appeared in front of everyone.

The concubines were standing behind. Only Zhu Houzhao could bear such a supreme position and moment.

The next moment, the sea of ​​people numbering hundreds of thousands quieted down at the fastest speed.

"See Your Majesty!"

Hundreds of thousands of unrehearsed songs rose in unison, piercing the sky like an overwhelming tide.

That kind of fanatical emotion seemed to be able to overturn the world, causing many envoys from various countries to turn pale and follow the salute in awe.

Zhu Houzhao had an undisguised smile of joy on his face.

He put one hand on his waist and raised the other to wave to hundreds of thousands of people.

This was not an dignified act on the part of the emperor, but it was extremely domineering and heroic, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

And with this wave of the hand, hundreds of thousands of people raised their arms and shouted like crazy.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

····
Hundreds of thousands of voices were no longer so neat and seemed a little chaotic.

But the fanatical emotion was even stronger than before.

It seemed that these hundreds of thousands of people could crush everything with that one hand.

"Hahahaha, long live you all, long live everyone in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily, feeling happy and proud.

This is a grand scene, lively enough!

The imprecise and undignified words made many people in the court helpless and made more people of the Ming Dynasty even more fanatical.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and the crowd calmed down a little.

Wei Jinzhong understood, stepped forward, and began to say some words that the envoys from various countries began to pay homage.

But after just a few words, Zhu Houzhao frowned, waved his hand and asked him to leave.

"Not domineering at all, I came here in person."

Although it was not said aloud, Wei Jinzhong and all those who were watching and familiar with His Majesty could think of this sentence.

Not surprised either.

The more people there are and the bigger the occasion, the more proud His Majesty is and the more he likes to do things by himself. He disdains what others say and is not domineering or strong at all.

However, everyone, including Wei Jinzhong, could only feel helpless and smile bitterly.

Are they allowed to say those domineering, straightforward, arrogant and overbearing words?
In the whole world, only Your Majesty dares to say this.

Wei Jinzhong took two steps back and, like everyone else, pricked up his ears to listen to yet another shocking statement from his majesty.

They were not disappointed.

Zhu Houzhao said in a high voice with great satisfaction: "People of the Ming Dynasty, I believe you all know the purpose of holding the grand court meeting at Chengtian Gate today.

That’s right, all the countries in the world have sent envoys.

They must be vassal states and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, such things require more people from our Ming Dynasty to witness them together.

It makes more sense, don’t you think? "

His arrogant, overbearing, condescending and conceited attitude made many envoys from various countries feel extremely insulted and unwilling.

But they could only lower their heads.

Most of the Ming Dynasty's civil and military officials, royal family members, nobles, etc., held their heads high, smiled, and felt only pride and arrogance.

"Yes!!!"

Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the boiling enthusiasm was filled with the condescending attitude of the Ming Dynasty.

The envoys from various countries lowered their heads even more, not daring to show any surprise.

But they were far from seeing what true arrogance was, and they saw it the next moment.

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, extremely arrogant and overbearing: "Today, let's take a look at the sincerity and performance of these countries.

If you think someone performed poorly or are dissatisfied with anyone, please tell me.

We, the Ming Dynasty, will destroy it.

Do you think it’s okay? "

After these words were spoken, many high-ranking officials including the concubines, the Cabinet, the Military Council, the Martial Arts Hall, and the Factory Guards could no longer hold their composure.

His brows twitched, and he looked at his Majesty helplessly.

Don't be so arrogant, Your Majesty. Be more restrained.

But they had no choice but to watch with frustration and excitement.

The envoys from various countries all opened their eyes wide, stunned, and simply couldn't believe it.

How could someone actually say such shocking and suicidal words!

Then they realized that Emperor Shengwu could really do it.

Suddenly, he lowered his head dejectedly.

Hundreds of thousands of people did not think so much. After a moment of silence, they became excited and thrilled.

The pride that comes from the bones and soul, as well as a hint of arrogance that is infected.

"Good! Good! Good!"

····
Hundreds of thousands of people raised their arms and shouted, and the shouts seemed to burn the sky.

in the crowd.

Lu Xiaofeng also showed an excited expression, and said awkwardly: "Isn't it a bit too arrogant?"

Beside him, Hua Manlou sighed slightly and replied: "If you made the world submit at the age of 19, you would also be arrogant."

"That's right." Lu Xiaofeng was startled, nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "It's really refreshing."

After saying that, he also raised his arms and shouted twice.

"Hahaha."

Zhu Houzhao's arrogant laughter spread far away.

"Okay, let's watch together today, and kill whoever we are unhappy with."

(Today I have time, but I suddenly can’t write anymore, because I have to face the most important question: Should I continue writing Zhu Tian? If I don’t write Zhu Tian, ​​the book will come to an end. To be honest, I don’t have much motivation to write Zhu Tian, ​​after all, everyone knows the results. I won’t be writing tonight, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be finished this month.

Updates will not be fast, because I need to leave time and ideas for the new book.)
