Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 234 The Tragic Prince Ning

Not to mention Zhu Zhishan's escape to avoid the limelight.

Prince Ning, who came to Jiangnan intending to win over the Hua family for his own use but failed to reach an agreement, is now completely losing his composure.

He was only away for a few days.

As a result, the proclamation of the Prince of Su spread throughout the land, and he was ordered to quell the rebellion.

The content reveals things that Prince Ning wants to do, dares to do, but hasn't had the opportunity to do yet.

Plotting to usurp the throne.

"Damn Zhu Wushi, couldn't he have waited any longer?"

"No, couldn't he have been a little more careful?" Prince Ning overturned the desk and roared angrily, "He called Zhu Houzhao, who was sent back by Zhu Jinzhen, a false emperor. Isn't that slapping Zhu Jinzhen in the face and forcing him to lose his temper?"

"He once told me something like, 'He who does not plan for the long term is not fit to plan for the short term.'"

"He did scheme, but he's caused me a lot of trouble!"

The more Prince Ning thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but want to lose his temper. However, in front of his subordinates, he managed to hold back, but he smashed more than a dozen vases.

After a long while, Prince Ning's anger subsided slightly, and he looked at the Deadly Scholar: "The information received by Prince Su's mansion is confirmed to be correct. How is it possible to have hundreds of thousands of Vajra Realm troops? Even you are only at the initial stage of the Finger Profound Realm. How could Zhu Jinzhen have trained hundreds of thousands of Vajra Realm troops?"

"Your Highness, the news is absolutely true."

The Deadly Scholar smiled bitterly. Although he had become the one being compared, he was not angry at all this time because he was still unable to calm down after receiving the news: "In the martial arts world, rumors are rampant. Everyone is speculating that the reason why His Highness Prince Su was able to train such a terrifying army is probably related to the Heavenly Sword that shook the martial arts world."

Heavenly Sword!!
Prince Ning knew this news earlier than many others.

When the incident occurred outside Jiayuguan that day, several of them were spies from the Prince of Ning's residence. However, when the Prince of Ning reported back to the Prince of Ning's residence, the Prince of Ning was furious, feeling that those spies had fooled him and had not believed a single word of their reports.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days...

The news came again, catching Prince Ning and everyone in the Ming Dynasty completely off guard, sweeping across the entire country.

It was only then that Prince Ning began to believe some of the secret reports about the Heavenly Sword.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Prince Ning, his face ashen, said in a deep voice, "The Heavenly Sword is real, so does that mean there really is that so-called Heavenly Star in the First Emperor's Mausoleum, as well as hundreds of thousands of Qin terracotta warriors at the terrestrial immortal realm?"

"Your Highness, it seems to be true now." The Deadly Scholar nodded solemnly. Other things can be faked, even reports from secret agents can be faked, and things like manipulating life and death can be made up as exaggerations by those people.

However, the military might of Tian Ce and Cang Yun is now sweeping across the Ming Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of troops, at least at the Vajra Realm level, have marched out of Shaanxi. This cannot be faked!
If Zhu Jinzhen did not steal the power or secrets of the celestial stars within the First Emperor's mausoleum.

How could he possibly have trained such an invincible army?
On this matter, almost all forces in the Ming Dynasty, whether the imperial court, aristocratic families, martial arts sects, or independent cultivators, reached a consensus that Zhu Jinzhen was able to cultivate such a fierce and invincible army as Tian Ce and Cang Yun because of... the First Emperor's Mausoleum.

Some people have had doubts.

But when someone asked just one question, it completely shut down all doubts.

How to cultivate hundreds of thousands of Vajra Realm experts?
Therefore, the seemingly peaceful Ming Dynasty is now more turbulent, with most forces frantically searching for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sword, hoping to find Zhao Min and get a share of the spoils.

Today, throughout the Ming Dynasty and even the entire world, there is a saying that everyone firmly believes.

He who obtains the Heavenly Sword can obtain the world.

"Heavenly Sword, First Emperor's Mausoleum."

"Zhu Jinzhen!"

Prince Ning paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself repeatedly, his heart filled with even more regret: "Damn it, damn it, if I had known earlier that the Heavenly Sword was real, I would have knelt down and begged several Grandmasters of Celestial Phenomena to help me seize the Heavenly Sword."

"Now, it's all too late."

After the exposure of the Tian Ce and Cang Yun armies under the command of Prince Su's mansion, the garrisons in various places almost all gave up resistance, or only put up a token resistance. Prince Ning estimated that it would take no more than a month.

The Ming Dynasty would then fall into the hands of Zhu Jinzhen.

"My lineage has painstakingly planned for over a hundred years!" Prince Ning's heart was bleeding with pain. The first Prince Ning, Zhu Quan, was fooled by Emperor Taizong Zhu Di, who promised to divide the world equally after the Jingnan Rebellion succeeded, but ultimately went back on his word.

This incident will forever remain a source of pain for the Prince of Ning's lineage.

Prince Ning originally thought that Zhengde was young, and with the infighting among various factions in the court, his Prince Ning Mansion had grown rapidly. He was ambitious and waiting for the right opportunity to rebel.

As it turned out, he wasn't fully prepared.

Zhu Jinzhen emerged.

Moreover, they brought a lineup that left everyone with nothing but despair at first glance, and with the most domineering attitude, they completely entered the world's eyes, fully demonstrating the power of the Prince Su's Mansion.

Prince Ning knew very well what an army of hundreds of thousands of Vajra Realm experts meant.

But he was still somewhat unwilling.

A plump, middle-aged scholar with a tail like a rat's tail waved a folding fan and laughed, "Your Highness, perhaps there is still some room for maneuver."

"Oh? Yes, Chuanchang, tell me quickly." Prince Ning paused, turned around abruptly to look at him, his bloodshot eyes gleaming, and vowed in his heart that as long as there was even a slight possibility of feasibility, he would try it no matter how painful the price.

"Your Highness, it's actually very simple."

With a confident smile on his face, Chuan Chang said, "As long as you're willing to give up, it's fine."

"Give up, and I'll release your mother..." Prince Ning was furious and about to explode on the spot.

As a result, Duichuanchang, whose face was covered in spittle, simply wiped his face and calmed down Prince Ning with a single sentence.

"Your Highness, please don't be anxious, let me analyze it."

"The strength of the Su Prince's army today is such that, not to mention the countries of the world today, even during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han when the empire had both its two pillars, plus the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period when there were many generals, if they faced either Tian Ce or Cang Yun, the only outcome would be the destruction of the country. Even the Marquis of Champion and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang could not change anything."

An analysis of the calmness of the intestines.

He wasn't speaking without reason; he was genuinely offering advice to Prince Ning.

Although……

Chuanchang subconsciously glanced at Ning Wang's crotch, even though he also wanted to see the scene of Ning Wang, whom he served, losing his temper.

But Chuan Chang resolutely continued, "Your Highness, one who does not plan for the long term cannot plan for the short term. Prince Su, relying on the Heavenly Sword, obtained the power of the Heavenly Star from the First Emperor's Mausoleum and has trained the Tian Ce and Cang Yun armies to be completely inhuman. Even a million-strong army is nothing but duckweed in front of them. If you want to succeed, you must be patient."

“Endure?” Prince Ning sneered. “How could I not know? But how long must I endure? Just as you said, Prince Su has an army of hundreds of thousands of Vajra Realm experts, and countless Pointing Profound and Celestial Phenomena Realm experts. Even if I follow the example of Emperor Taizong Zhu Di and win over the vassal kings from all over the country, I will only have one outcome when facing Zhu Jinzhen.”

"die!"

Although Prince Ning was irritable, he was neither stupid nor foolish.

Given the power Zhu Jinzhen has shown so far, what difference is there between him going up against Zhu Jinzhen and a commoner carrying a carrying pole going up against Emperor Wu of Han at his peak?
Even the phrase "an egg hitting a rock" doesn't quite capture it.

They brought shame upon themselves.

"Your Highness, calm down." A lewd smile appeared on Chuan Chang's face. "Patience is for the future. It's true that Prince Su is powerful for a time, but we can also follow his example!"

"Ok?"

Prince Ning raised an eyebrow, his surprised expression gradually turning to one of realization: "You mean, like Zhu Jinzhen, you want to seize the Heavenly Sword and obtain the power of the Heavenly Star from the First Emperor's Mausoleum to develop your power in secret?"

"Your Highness is wise," said Chuan Chang with a bow and a smile.
