The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 183 The Emperor Guards the Country

Jinling, Fengtian Hall.

Many court officials, holding tablets and wearing official uniforms with "beast" patterns, stood in an orderly manner under the guidance of ceremonial officers, not daring to look forward or backward.

Following three whip cracks that pierced the clouds and split the rocks, Zhu Yuanzhang, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, stepped on the red wall, glanced at everyone, and then sat upright on the dragon throne with a pair of eyes full of majesty.

"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

With the uniform cheers of "Long live the emperor" and the majestic palace, the morning court began.

The political affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces were discussed one by one. Everything was in order, but also full of tension. The Zhejiang East faction and the Huaixi faction were fighting each other fiercely.

"Urgent, urgent military information!"

At 1:05 a.m., a Jinyiwei wearing a Feiyu suit and an embroidered spring sword on his waist rushed in hurriedly. He had a pale face, chapped lips, and looked extremely tired.

This was the Ming Dynasty's 800-mile express train. The horses were changed but the men were not. They galloped all the way without a moment's rest. They could only hold on, and many people even died of exhaustion.

"Quick, take him away and let the imperial physician treat him well."

Seeing the exhausted Jinyiwei who had lost most of his life, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and signaled.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial from the eunuch with a solemn expression. He looked at it and after finding that it was not damaged, he opened the sealed box and a palm-sized piece of cloth appeared in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang read ten lines at a glance, squinting his eyes as he scanned the text above. His face looked very ugly, as gloomy as water and full of dark clouds.

For a moment, the court was silent.

"Sir, what happened?"

Li Shanchang, the chief of all officials, stroked his flowing beard, cupped his hands, and asked with a serious expression.

"Look at this, everyone!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, feeling very uneasy, handed the information in his hand to the eunuch beside him and let all the civil and military officials see it.

"monster?"

"Superior, this, this..."

After a quick look, Li Shanchang's heart was also unsettled, his brows were furrowed in a shape of a "川", attracting the attention of others.

Gradually, as the information spread, the entire Ming Dynasty exploded. Many civil servants who had studied the books of sages were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do!

"Isn't the upper position just a monster?"

"We all have two shoulders and one head, so who is afraid of whom? I am willing to lead the troops to fight and swear to annihilate the pig-headed monster. Please grant me your permission."

Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, Yongchang Marquis Lan Yu, strode out from among the officials and spoke in a casual manner.

As a military general, what they feared most was not war or death, but putting their weapons into storage and letting their horses go to the mountains. Without war, there would be no value in their existence. When Lan Yu heard about the war, he was very excited.

As for the monsters, Lan Yu was just a military man who only knew how to fight. It didn't matter whether the enemy was a human or a ghost.

"You bastard, find out the situation first."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. Seeing Lan Yu, the reckless man, he was speechless. He turned to look at the Earl of Chengyi and asked, "Liu Bowen, what do you say?"

Although he was very wary of this old scholar, at the critical moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had to turn to him for decision, hoping that Liu Bowen would give him reliable advice.

In the crowd, Liu Bowen, who had been trying to reduce his presence, asked, "Where will the emperor's capital be located in the future?"

After the worlds merged, Liu Bowen, who unified the country, also knew his own fate. Being cautious by nature, he dared not show up even more. He would hide if he could, and it would be best for him to resign and return home.

Every time he went to court, he was like a bodhisattva. He would not speak unless Zhu Yuanzhang asked. "How is Nanjing? How is Beiping?"

Holding the tickler, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who crawled out from a pile of dead bodies, was extremely scheming, cunning, and resourceful. He would not easily express his opinions or reveal them.

"If we make Jinling our capital, we won't have to worry about the millions of monsters and will just let them fend for themselves."

"If we make Peking our capital, we must fight a battle, and do it beautifully, to let those monsters know how powerful our Ming Dynasty is."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bowen spoke slowly despite the tremendous pressure.

Before he finished speaking, the Zhejiang East and Huaixi factions, which had been arguing with each other before, suddenly united in hatred of the enemy and listed every single thing Liu Bowen had done, hoping to dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang from the idea of ​​moving the capital.

Nanjing has been the capital for more than ten years. The civil and military officials of the court and the noble class have all acquired a lot of property in the capital, including fertile fields and shops.

If the capital is really moved to Peking, their wealth will shrink by half. They travel thousands of miles to become officials just for money. They have no money and only their lives. It is harder than climbing to the sky to get the flesh out of them.

"Biao'er, what about you?"

The hesitant Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest son Zhu Biao and asked with a smile.

In his heart, ministers are ministers, and other princes are also ministers. Only his eldest son Zhu Biao and Empress Ma are Zhu Yuanzhang's relatives and family.

When discussing national policy, it is like a father asking his son, rather than an emperor asking his prince.

"The emperor guards the gates of the country, and the king dies in the country."

"I think Beiping is more suitable to be the future capital of Ming Dynasty. Nanjing is too prosperous and it is easy to corrupt the will of the nobles and the royal family."

On the red wall, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, dressed in a dragon robe, cupped his hands and spoke very calmly.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were somewhat dissatisfied with Nanjing and often wanted to move the capital to the north. Chang'an, Luoyang and Beiping were all on their list of considerations.

"Good! Biaoer said it well!"

"Just do as the prince says and make Peking the capital."

Hearing such a spirited declaration, "The Emperor guards the national gate and the King dies for his country," Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon throne with his rough right hand, feeling very excited.

He is worthy of being the offspring of the Zhu family and his eldest son!

After the fusion of the worlds, especially when Shen Yuanliang successively annexed the Liaodong Peninsula from other worlds, an undercurrent began to surge within the Ming Dynasty.

In order to establish the capital in Peking or Nanjing, there were many sword fights in secret, and even many princes were implicated.

Now, with just one word from Zhu Biao, the matter was finally settled. As for the opinions of the officials, that was not important. After Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative, who would dare to speak out against it?

"Lan Yu, don't you want to fight?"

"This time, you will lead 300,000 reinforcements and the royal family to the Shanhaiguan front, and fight against the pig-headed monster together with Duke Wei."

Walking down the Danbi, Zhu Yuanzhang patted Lan Yu on the shoulder and gave an unquestionable order.

As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, a great emperor of all ages, brought many benefits to the Ming Dynasty after the changes in heaven and earth, and the royal foundation was greatly strengthened.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself obtained the peerless martial arts "Ming Shen Wu Dian" from the unknown, and cultivated the power of the sun and the moon. His martial arts skills improved day by day, making it difficult for others to guess.

"Your Highness, I, Lan Yu, will obey your orders."

Lan Yu's resonant voice echoed in the majestic palace.
