Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 234 Zhu Yuanzhang is chosen, and the aura gathers and takes shape.
Several days later, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in the capital.

"Marshal Zhu, your master requests your presence at the library."

When Zhang Wuji saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he spoke.

Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed in full armor, with a robust physique, bright eyes, and a powerful stride.

Even though his martial arts skills were not high, he already possessed a demeanor that was difficult for ordinary people to match.

"I also need to pay my respects to the leader."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and followed Zhang Wuji to the library.

Along the way, the palace had been cleaned up and restored to its former beauty.

Zhang Wuji led the way, but his eyes were secretly observing Zhu Yuanzhang. He felt more and more that this man had an extraordinary demeanor and the appearance of an emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally noticed Zhang Wuji's gaze. He touched his face somewhat awkwardly and asked, "Master Zhang, is there something on my face?"

Zhang Wuji smiled upon hearing this: "It's nothing, Marshal Zhu, there's no need to be nervous."

He naturally couldn't reveal to his master that he intended for this person to establish a new dynasty and sit on the throne of supreme ruler.

After saying that, he stopped looking at them and remained silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt completely bewildered and couldn't help but feel uneasy about going to see the cult leader.

Soon, the two arrived at the library.

"Master, Marshal Zhu has arrived."

Zhang Wuji bowed slightly and spoke to Xu Qing, who was sitting in the rocking chair.

Xu Qing put down his book, slightly raised his eyes to look at the imposing Zhu Yuanzhang, who immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and shouted loudly:
"Zhu Yuanzhang pays respects to the leader!"

His voice was loud and clear, full of energy, and his downcast eyes showed reverence and admiration for Xu Qing.

Along the way, Xu Qing had placed great trust in him, appointing him as the Grand Marshal of the Ming Cult and putting him in charge of all the troops. Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely grateful to Xu Qing for this trust.

After all, he was just a minor leader of the Fengyang Altar before.

Their status within the Ming Cult was far inferior to that of the Five Wanderers and the Five Elements Banners, let alone the Dharma Kings who protected the cult or the cult's messengers.

All of this was given to him by Xu Qing, and he did not disappoint Xu Qing, defeating the Mongol army in a short period of time.

This nearly drove the Mongol Yuan dynasty to the brink of despair.

"Get up."

Xu Qing spoke slowly.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and stood as straight as a pine tree.

"Do you know why I summoned you here?" Xu Qing asked, his face expressionless, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "This subordinate does not know."

"Now that the world is at peace, your position as Grand Marshal of the Army is now..."

Before Xu Qing could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and immediately said, "I will hand over the position of Grand Marshal."

He was decisive and did not hesitate at all.

Xu Qing gave Zhu Yuanzhang a deep look and asked, "Do you have any complaints?"

"Your subordinate has no complaints. Zhu Yuanzhang was just a minor altar master. If it weren't for the leader's appreciation, how would he have had the opportunity to show his skills and command thousands of troops!"

Now that the realm is at peace, the leader needs military power, and Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally willing to do so!

Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands in a fist salute, speaking with a powerful and resounding voice.

"it is good!"

Xu Qing stood up, walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You have not disappointed this leader."

"Don't be nervous. The military power is yours; I don't need you to hand it over."

Xu Qing's words startled Zhu Yuanzhang, but what he said next shocked him even more.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, if this empire were handed over to you, are you confident you could govern it well?"

Buzz!
At that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's head was buzzing, his face was full of shock, and he was completely stunned.

"Master...Master, you..." Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, his words even a little stammering.

I really didn't expect Xu Qing to say something like that.

"Just tell me, are you confident?" Xu Qing asked again.

This brought Zhu Yuanzhang back to his senses, and he immediately raised his head and said firmly:
"If the world were entrusted to my governance, I would surely create a powerful dynasty that far surpasses all previous dynasties, allowing all the people to live in peace and stability!"

At that moment, Zhang Wuji, standing to the side, seemed to see a real dragon speaking; Zhu Yuanzhang truly possessed imperial majesty. He was shocked.

Xu Qing also vaguely sensed that as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang uttered these words, the dynasty's fortune was gathering towards him.

At the center of his brow, the divine soul residing in the sea of ​​consciousness opened its divine eye. Xu Qing's eyes shone with divine light, and he indeed saw a faint golden dragon of fortune slowly taking shape.

With just a single word, the fortune of heaven and earth could be gathered and transformed into a golden dragon.

Zhu Yuanzhang truly deserves to be called the supreme ruler of the world, ordained by Heaven and Earth.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly, realizing that this was the grand trend of heaven and earth, and now Zhu Yuanzhang was even more powerful.

To ordinary people, Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment was incredibly majestic, and everyone couldn't help but feel awe.

But it's useless to Xu Qing. Whether the other party can truly sit on the throne of the supreme ruler of the world still requires Xu Qing's permission.

Therefore, this auspicious golden dragon has not yet taken shape.

Xu Qing suppressed the glint in his eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't disappoint me. I'll be watching your performance."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang understood that the leader truly had no desire for the throne and genuinely intended to hand over the empire to him.

"Zhu Yuanzhang will never let the leader down!" Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.

The position of supreme ruler of the world will be his.

How could I not be excited?

"it is good!"

Xu Qing nodded and said to Zhang Wuji, "Have Yang Xiao and the others come here."

Zhang Wuji nodded, understanding that his master wanted to tell everyone this news.

He believed that all the high-ranking members of the Ming Cult would be surprised by this.

After all, everyone believed that with the establishment of the new dynasty, the religious leader should be the emperor.

Zhang Wuji quickly used his light-footed skill to leave.

"Master, do you really intend to give me the supreme position in the world?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that this was somewhat unreal and couldn't help but ask again.

Xu Qing nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "There's no need to doubt it; I believe you have the ability."

"Remember, after the new dynasty is established, suppress the rebels in various places as soon as possible and stabilize the country."

The primary objective afterward is to cross the sea and annihilate the Japanese nation; not a single Japanese person should be spared, and their entire race must be exterminated!

Xu Qing gave instructions.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt immense pressure and said, "My lord, with the new dynasty established, everything is in need of rebuilding. At this time, to launch a war to destroy a country across the sea would only be a waste of resources and manpower."

Moreover, the national treasury must be extremely empty by now.

A war across the sea would require the construction of warships, and the amount of financial, material, and human resources needed would be astronomical.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this action was not in line with the actual situation.

"There is no need to worry about insufficient funds. There are countless powerful clans in the south. During this invasion of the Japanese pirates, many clans have chosen to join the pirates. We must not let them go!"

If that's not enough, there are countless Buddhist temples in the world, and the wealth they hold is even greater.

These monks do no work, yet they possess so much wealth; they must be eliminated!

Xu Qing offered two ways to acquire wealth.

The wealth of the south, coupled with the presence of Buddhist temples, could allow the new dynasty to amass enormous wealth.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up immediately. If that was the case, then there was no problem.

As for these guys who are unwilling to hand it over, then let the army go and reason with them.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no pity for these people.

Moreover, he had been a monk for a period of time before.

He knew that the temples where monks lived were truly wealthy; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a monk to get through those difficult times.

Moreover, he knew that most of the financial resources expended in this great victory over the Mongol army came from the resources previously acquired from the six major sects.

The Shaolin Temple has the most gold and silver treasures, after all, it is the number one temple in the world.

The ancient temple, with its thousand-year history, has accumulated a vast amount of wealth.

This sect needs to be investigated more thoroughly!
