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

Chapter 448 To do a good job, one must first have the right tools.

On this day, delegations of envoys from all over the world submitted their resignations and left the capital.

Although Beili and Liyang are located overseas and not within the territory of Kyushu, they are under considerable pressure. Everyone knows that once the Ming Dynasty starts a war, it will not be able to stop.

After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the various states in the Central Plains, they would inevitably be the next to be destroyed.

Princess Zhao Fengya of Liyang, Prince Xiao Ruofeng of Beili Langya, and others hurriedly led their respective envoys away from the capital, rushing towards their respective countries without lingering for even a moment.

The Southern Song delegation, which was closest to the Ming Dynasty, wished they had more legs to get back and tell Zhao Kuo that the Ming Dynasty was about to launch a military campaign and that they should make preparations as soon as possible.

"Oh dear, they've all left at once."

"On the contrary, it feels a bit too quiet."

Xu Fengnian stretched and looked at the deserted state guesthouse, feeling somewhat bored.

Li Chungang glanced at him and couldn't help but shake his head: "Haven't you seen enough of the embarrassment of those people today? You dragged it out until they all left in order to avoid making a fool of yourself. When do you plan to back out of Beiliang?"

"Lao Li, are you okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fengnian's eye twitched, and he retorted, "Do you think those secret guards will let us leave?"

"Uh……"

Li Chungang was stunned. His leisurely days had made him forget that he and Xu Fengnian were still burdened with a mountain of debt and were being held at Zuichunlou, waiting for the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion to bring money to ransom them.

Everyone else can walk, but they can't.

……

Just as the envoys from various countries were leaving the capital.

Wenhua Hall.

Changsun Wangqing, dressed in a phoenix robe, sat on the throne.

Several influential figures in the Ming Dynasty were kneeling in front of him.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live a thousand years."

"Be flat."

"Thank you, empress."

After they stood up, they looked at the people around them with somewhat solemn expressions.

Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the Eastern Depot; Yu Huatian, the supervisor of the Western Depot; Qinglong, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard; Liu Dufeng, the detective god of the Six Doors; and Shangguan Haitang, the new master of the Dragon Guard Manor.

Changsun Wangqing, being a military man, disliked beating around the bush and spoke frankly: "I summoned you here because Yimei reported that, in addition to the discussions in court, you, as the swords in His Majesty's hand, are not sharp enough."

"We are terrified," the servants replied, bowing deeply as they trembled.

"I summoned you here not to reprimand or blame you," Changsun Wangqing said calmly, her gaze sweeping over the group. "His Majesty is in seclusion, and I will temporarily handle state affairs."

"This matter can only be handled by me."

Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, Shangguan Haitang, and others lowered their heads even further.

"Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian."

"The servant is here."

The two replied in unison.

“The Eastern Depot and Western Depot are too weak, and many cases remain unresolved. This time, on behalf of His Majesty, I hereby bestow three hundred Blood Bodhi seeds.” With a wave of her hand, the secret guards in the Wenhua Hall came out carrying huge boxes.

"I hope you will not betray His Majesty's trust."

Blood Bodhi seeds, and three hundred of them at that?!
After Yan Yimei tested the Blood Bodhi and obtained permission, news of the Blood Bodhi spread. Coupled with the upcoming martial arts competition in the capital, the efficacy of the Blood Bodhi had already become widely known in the capital.

Those present were all heads of the Ming Dynasty's intelligence agencies, and naturally knew a great deal about Blood Bodhi.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty. We will certainly live up to your trust." Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Three hundred blood bodhi seeds!
Although it cannot arm both the East and West factories to the teeth, it is enough to help them train more than a hundred more Grandmasters of the Finger Profound Realm.

With such power, what case couldn't the Eastern Depot and Western Depot handle? "Liu Dufeng, Qinglong."

Upon hearing their names, Liu Dufeng and Qinglong trembled and quickly bowed, saying, "Your humble servants are here."

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard is His Majesty's personal guard, but this sword is too dull."

"This time, I will bestow two hundred blood-red bodhi seeds."

"in addition……"

Changsun Wangqing's voice made Qinglong's heart leap into his throat, but as a family member, he knew his own situation. The Embroidered Uniform Guard was indeed in decline. Even before Zhu Jinzhen emerged, the Embroidered Uniform Guard could only deter petty villains and officials with little background or connections.

Those who are truly capable generally don't take the Embroidered Uniform Guard seriously.

"His Majesty has granted the Northern Garrison Command an advance of three hundred Blood Bodhi seeds, with the remainder to be deducted based on merit and salary."

Inside the Wenhua Hall, everyone's pupils widened in shock.

Qinglong was overjoyed. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Changsun Wangqing wasn't going to hold him accountable; instead, Zhu Jinzhen had shown him extra leniency and given the Embroidered Uniform Guards an extra reward!

"Qinglong, all the Imperial Guards of the Daibei Garrison Command thank Your Majesty and the Empress."

"Long live my emperor."

"Long live the Empress!"

Qinglong excitedly touched the ground with his head. Five hundred Blood Bodhi seeds! Their Embroidered Uniform Guard was about to rise. Even if they couldn't find and train five hundred Finger Profound Realm Grandmasters at once, even with a discount, the Embroidered Uniform Guard would still become the most terrifying force in the Ming Dynasty.

To become the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand.

Where are the powerful local strongmen and the major factions of the martial arts world?

Anyone who dares to violate the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty will be directly raided by the Imperial Guards, and all will be investigated thoroughly without leniency.

Changsun Wangqing gazed at the kneeling Azure Dragon and said meaningfully:
"Zhuque's idea is good, but relying on the original power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is too risky."

"Training up the Embroidered Uniform Guards is not easy."

Changsun Wangqing didn't say much, but his words struck Qinglong like a thunderbolt, startling him. However, when he thought of the ancient and spiritual realm that Yan Yimei, the Grand Commander of the Secret Guard, had revealed in the court a few days ago, Qinglong felt nothing of the sort.

The mirror can even reveal events from decades ago.

How could the actions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard possibly be kept secret from the Secret Guard and His Majesty?
"Yes, Azure Dragon understands." Azure Dragon lowered his head and replied in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wangqing smiled with satisfaction and looked at Liu Dufeng, the God of Arrest, who was secretly anxious beside her: "Liu Dufeng, the Six Doors has also specially bestowed one hundred Blood Bodhis as a reward based on merit. As for how to distribute them, you can decide for yourself. I only care about the result."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I thank you for your generous gift."

Liu Dufeng was so excited that he quickly bowed down.

The Six Doors are a tough place!
Although there are gold, silver, and bronze medal constables.

There are also various spies planted among the various forces in the world.

However, there are only a few who can truly hold their own. Apart from him, the God of Catching, and the two Guo brothers, the remaining few top-notch constables are Master Zhi Xuan, who is notorious for handling many notorious thieves who have committed serious crimes.

With these one hundred Blood Bodhi seeds, Liu Dufeng dared not say he could wipe out all the notorious bandits of the Ming Dynasty, but he was certain that if any insignificant one dared to commit a crime again, the Six Doors would hunt them down to the bitter end.

Changsun Wangqing looked at Shangguan Haitang, who was standing to the side with a face full of struggle and envy but dared not speak, shook his head and said, "After experiencing many changes, the Dragon Guard Manor is ultimately short of manpower."

"I can grant you the privilege of fifty Blood Bodhi seeds to recruit people."

"But if one cannot atone for one's crimes through meritorious service, all crimes will be punished concurrently afterwards. Do you have any objections?"

Shangguan Haitang breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Your Majesty excitedly: "Haitang has no objections, thank you Your Majesty."

Isn't it just about sending most of the original spies from the Dragon Guard Manor to Japan to act as the vanguard for the Ming Dynasty, to find out the strengths and weaknesses of various places in Japan, and to be ready for the Ming army to invade the border at any time?

As the former head of the number one manor in the world, Shangguan Haitang, whose name is Xuan, is very adept at handling such matters.

If she had another fifty blood bodhi seeds, she felt she could be even bolder.
