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

Chapter 410 May Your Life Be Long and Prosperous, and May a Dynasty Be Established

With the complete return of Zhu Jinzhen's will, the dynasty entered the gates of destiny, and the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty was completely condensed. A golden dragon of destiny, more than nine zhang long, coiled in the void, emitting a thunderous dragon roar.

"Groan!!"

It was like cheering, like jumping for joy, like announcing His birth to the world.

After circling once in front of Zhu Jinzhen, the golden dragon of fortune transformed into golden light and rushed into the distance, covering hundreds of miles in an instant, touring the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Wherever the golden dragon of fortune passed, the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be revitalized.

In many places that had been drought-stricken for a long time, timely rain fell the moment the golden dragon of fortune passed by. In places where rivers had overflowed, the waters calmed down and flowed downstream after the golden dragon of fortune passed by.

Thousands upon thousands of displaced people suddenly received food to survive due to various "accidents".

Zhu Jinzhen had a feeling that the Golden Dragon of Fortune was ultimately a manifestation of the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty. It was formed by him using the method of governing the dynasty, and to some extent, it could even be seen as an incarnation of his primordial spirit.

After observing for a while and confirming that the Golden Dragon of Fortune was indeed miraculous, Zhu Jinzhen stopped paying attention.

"let's start!"

Zhu Jinzhen's voice was clear and calm, yet it carried a different meaning.

Xu Yu was startled and quickly composed himself, nodding vigorously to the officials of the Ministry of Rites around him.

The next moment, all the officials around the platform retreated like a tide.

The entire altar was suddenly lifted up by the nine-headed dragon of the celestial chariot. The altar was surrounded by a square platform, symbolizing the concept of a round heaven and a square earth, encompassing the heavens and the earth.

To establish a new dynasty, we report to Heaven and Earth.

This was something Zhu Jinzhen had decided after he obtained the method of governing the court.

The Ministry of Rites and relevant departments had already been informed of the preparations.

Those who knew the inside story were all excited and watching Zhu Jinzhen on the high platform with great tension. They all knew that if the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven was successful, it would be a momentous event that would be recorded in history and rewrite the course of history for thousands of years.

At this moment, they are fortunate enough to witness it.

"A million-strong army, and tens of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty."

"I don't need the approval of those officials, whether they are sincerely convinced or just outwardly submissive, as long as today passes..." Zhu Jinzhen looked up at the sky, where the invisible national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, the power of incense offerings, the power of faith and so on were frantically converging.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by the trembling of the void, the Imperial Seal, engraved with the words "By the Mandate of Heaven, May Your Reign Be Long and Prosperous," suddenly flew up from the altar and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the clouds.

To establish a dynasty, one needs a sacred artifact that can bear the nation's destiny and gather the merits of the land.

Zhu Jinzhen could not find a better replacement than the Imperial Seal of the State for the time being.

So I chose it.

"The auspicious time has arrived! Let us inform Heaven and Earth!"

A bright yellow imperial edict appeared in Xu Yu's hand, which he suddenly unfolded: "The true Son of Heaven, appointed by Heaven, occupies the throne, the supreme ruler of the world. Today, the new Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty ascends to the supreme position, grateful for the great grace of Heaven and Earth in nurturing all things."

Therefore, I kneel before Heaven and bow to express my gratitude for the great kindness of Heaven and Earth.

Xu Yu's voice echoed for a long time, resounding over the capital.

The envoys from all over the world who came to observe the ceremony were somewhat puzzled, feeling that the Ming Dynasty's sacrificial ceremony to Heaven was very different from what they knew and had seen.

Only Zhang Fuyao's divine will trembled wildly.

With the nation's destiny established, all fortune and destiny within the dynasty belong to the Great Ming.

He, the Confucian sage who possessed eighty percent of the Confucian fortune of Liyang, instantly became the greatest outcast. He felt countless terrifying exclusions and malice from the entire Ming Dynasty threatening to overwhelm him. Zhu Jinzhen seemed to sense something and gently brushed him aside, allowing Zhang Fuyao's body, which was almost kneeling under the weight of the Ming Dynasty's national fortune, to barely straighten up.

Zhu Jinzhen looked up at the boundless sky and bowed deeply.

When a dynasty is established, it is necessary to worship Heaven and Earth to express gratitude for the great kindness of the Emperor and the Earth.

After the three bows, the rolling white clouds in the sky suddenly froze, becoming as still as a smooth mirror. Then, the clouds began to be illuminated by a point of golden light, gradually lighting up the entire sky.

"What does Emperor Ming intend to do about this strange phenomenon?"

Xiao Ruofeng's heart pounded wildly, a very bad premonition washing over him, yet he couldn't grasp it or understand it.

Emperor Tianwu, Xiao Yi, standing beside him, was even more deathly pale.

Although he was equally unclear about what would happen next, under the influence of divine intervention, countless voices seemed to be reminding Xiao Yi, the founding emperor of Beili, to stop Zhu Jinzhen at all costs.

"I……"

Xiao Yi subconsciously tried to take half a step, but instantly dozens of figures no less powerful than celestial beings appeared around him, surrounding him completely. Moreover, Yang Ning, the strongest man in Tian Ce Mansion, had also appeared in front of him with a silver spear in hand.

"I advise you not to act rashly." Yang Ning's voice was sharp, carrying an undisguised chilling killing intent that surpassed even the most powerful beings on land. Even though it was only a fleeting moment, it caused all the envoys from Beili around Xiao Yi to collapse to the ground.

Suppressing the boundless fear rising in his heart, Xiao Ruofeng immediately transmitted his voice to Xiao Yi: "The strongest expert in Tian Ce, Yang Ning, the Heavenly Spear."

"With an unparalleled record of slaying immortals, his strength... is unfathomable."

"Emperor Taizu, you must not act rashly!"

Although Xiao Ruofeng is not afraid of death, it does not mean that he is willing to die in vain.

Yang Ning, the Heavenly Spear!
Before they arrived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they probably didn't know what this title meant.

Now, Xiao Ruofeng understands this all too well.

That was an unparalleled ferocious general capable of slaying immortals, a terrifying existence surpassing even the celestial beings on land. Although the Northern Li Kingdom was powerful, the news that Xiao Yi was still alive further boosted the morale of its people.

But Xiao Ruofeng also knew that even with the full strength of the Qiongbei Li nation, they couldn't deal with Yang Ning, who had killed several immortals with his spear.

The gap is too big.

Xiao Yi gave a bitter smile; he naturally understood this principle.

He had no intention of making any unusual moves, but for a moment just now, he was a little out of control, as if his mind had been bewitched, which almost led to a misunderstanding.

Almost simultaneously, all the terrestrial immortals present, including those mentioned above, [attacked].

At least fifteen celestial beings appeared around them.

Like Xiao Yi, they all made some unusual movements, which were noticed by the secret guards who had been watching them. They were immediately surrounded and killed if they resisted.

The Secret Service's attitude was more resolute than ever before.

Yan Yimei raised her reverse-blade sword and soared into the air. Around her, Li Chengen and Qin Yiyan of Tian Ce Mansion, Song Senxue and Shen Tu Yuan of Cang Yun were all on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy.

Anyone who crosses the line will be surrounded and killed by several, or even more, powerful beings above the Celestial Realm.

This scene completely stunned everyone.

Whether they were acting against their will or were itching to act, under the watchful eyes of Yang Ning, the commander of the secret guards, and Yan Yimei, as well as so many Tian Ce and Cang Yun generals around them, they all trembled with fear. No matter how strong that feeling of involuntary action was, they were firmly suppressed by them.

They dared not act rashly, for fear of causing misunderstanding.
