The gods of the gods

Chapter 18
This year was an extremely joyous year for the Ming Dynasty. First, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered commercial reforms, which made the economy of the entire Ming Dynasty soar and deepened its ties with other countries.After that, countries from all over the world began to congratulate the Ming Dynasty, and many foreigners came to China to learn the culture of the Central Plains.This has greatly promoted the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and its neighbors, promoted business exchanges, and spread the prestige of the Ming Dynasty far and wide.

However, besides this, there were even princes from neighboring countries to meet with the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was overjoyed and gave a special marriage to Princess Yunluo. The marriage of Princess Yunluo made many high-ranking officials in the imperial city heave a sigh of relief.Everyone knows Princess Yunluo's temper, and with the Queen Mother and the Emperor standing behind her, it's no exaggeration to say that she is lawless. All the young masters in the capital are most afraid of this Princess Yunluo After all, if anyone offends her, it is equivalent to offending the emperor and the queen mother, and your whole family is waiting for bad luck!
If it is said that Princess Yunluo's marriage caused revelry in the Forbidden City, then not long after, Tie Dan received the emperor's gift of marriage and was about to marry a princess, which shocked the whole world.

Who is Tie Dan Shenhou?No matter in the imperial court or in the rivers and lakes, he is the top big shot.In the imperial court, he was in the position of a god, in charge of Hulong Villa, and his influence covered all directions. He could be said to be the most powerful person under the emperor.And in the arena, his martial arts is even rumored to be the best in the world, no one can match it.The marriage of such a great person can be described as an earth-shattering event, not to mention the Central Plains, even the four countries sent envoys to congratulate.

The entire Ming Dynasty, because of Tiedan God's marriage, fell into jubilation. After nearly a month, the excitement gradually dissipated.

If Tie Danshenhou's marriage shocked the world, then what happened after his marriage shocked the entire Ming Dynasty even more.Tie Danshenhou wrote a letter to the court, saying that after he got married, he had no intention of going to court, and that the business reform was already on the right track. He also fulfilled the last wish of the former emperor to assist the emperor, and hereby resigned to the emperor and allowed him to resign Pension.

As soon as this matter came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.Tiedan looked forward to him as a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. If he and Cao Zhengchun hadn't dealt with each other these years, the entire court would have been in chaos.At the same time, it is precisely because he, the number one expert in the world, suppresses the world, that the forces of the various sects of the Ming Dynasty are so low-key.

All of a sudden, civil and military officials spoke one after another, asking the emperor to reject Shenhou's proposal, and some even bluntly said that Shenhou was the pillar of the court, and the court would inevitably be chaotic if Shenhou resigned.

However, what shocked the people in the court was Emperor Zhengde's decision. He did not directly reject Tie Dan's letter, but he did not listen to the opinions of all officials and rejected Zhu Wushi's proposal. He just said that the court needs Tie Dan at the moment. God Hou is the pillar, and no one is capable of running Hulong Villa except Tie Dan Shenhou.Therefore, Emperor Zhengde ordered that as long as Tiedan Shenhou could cultivate a person who could succeed him, he would be allowed to resign.

In Hulong Villa, in the study at this time, the three secret agents of Tiandixuan, the richest man in the world, Wansanqian, and several god catchers from Six Doors, and Zhang Jinjiu, the god catcher, all gathered here. All the high-level executives of Longshan Villa gathered at once.

Wan Sanqian couldn't help but persuaded, "Shenhou, it's too abrupt for you to resign suddenly in the court today. You are the stone pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Once you resign and retire, there will be no you." The command and dispatch of the Ming Dynasty will be interrupted because of this. And without your presence, Cao Zhengchun, an eunuch, is afraid that he will once again cholera the government and the public, and even what happened to Liu Jin back then will happen again."

Shangguan Haitang, No. [-] Secret Agent of Xuan Zi also nodded and said, "Yes! Father-in-law, Brother Wan is right at all. You are the Zhenguo Stone Pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and you are also the core of our Hulong Villa. Once father-in-law resigns, Our place is in chaos, and even Hulong Villa will be disbanded because of this. Once Hulong Villa is lost, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will definitely grow bigger, and Cao Zhengchun's power will only expand more and more!"

"Shenhou's move is really too radical." Zhang Jinjiu, who has become the catcher of the six doors, also said, "I also understand what Shenhou is thinking. Shenhou has been waiting for Miss Suxin for 20 years, and now the emperor is even more so. The gift of marriage, the wish of the gods is fulfilled, and they want to put aside everything and live together with Miss Suxin, all of which I can understand. But it's really not a good time right now."

"The commercial reform of the Ming Dynasty has only just started for a year. Although the results are remarkable, it is more like duckweed without roots. Once there are some changes, the success of the commercial reform will be shattered like a dream. And the commercial reform is exactly what God is waiting for. Wan Daguan presided over it personally, without the gods, we seem to have lost half of the support, and the form that was just about to rise in the Ming Dynasty is bound to decline."

Looking at the people who came to dissuade him one by one, Zhu Wushi couldn't help but smiled and said, "You all came to persuade this king and prevent this king from resigning, but you think this is how this king abandons you at a critical moment and goes alone People who live together with Su Xin?"

Zhu Wushi sighed softly, "Suxin is the love of my life. It is my dream to marry her as my concubine to be given a marriage by the emperor. But do you know that this king wanted to marry Suxin 20 years ago?" At that time, he was blocked by the first emperor. Although the first emperor is no longer around after 20 years, it is not without price to marry Su Xin."

"Father means that if you want to marry Miss Suxin, you have to give up the power and status of Hulong Villa." Duan Tianya, No. [-] Tianzi, frowned. "In this way, the person who can make the adoptive father resign is the current emperor."

"The meaning of the emperor." As soon as these words came out, the whole study room was suddenly quiet, and everyone present respected and respected Emperor Zhengde.Whether it is to establish six doors to help the government supervise, detect various cases, or reform business, so that the economy of the entire Ming Dynasty develops rapidly, it is an act that benefits the country and the people. Although such credits are not comparable to those of the founding emperor and Ming Chengzu , but among the many emperors of the Ming Dynasty, he was also among the best, so they couldn't help but respect him.

Wan Sanqian frowned, and said in a hesitant voice, "What is the meaning of the emperor? Could it be that he doesn't know that you are a pillar of commercial reform, and at the same time you are also a key person to check and balance Cao Zhengchun. Once you resign, Not to mention that the commercial reform was hit hard, Cao Zhengchun took advantage of the situation to become bigger and formed a situation that cannot be lost, which is very bad for the current Ming Dynasty!"

The three secret agents of Tiandixuan, Zhang Jinjiu, and several god arresters also frowned. If the resignation was the intention of daring to wait for him, they were still sure to persuade him to come back, and at worst they could let him suspend for two years. .But if it's the emperor's intention, then they can't help but think in other directions.

Zhu Wushi shook his head lightly and said, "Okay, you don't have to think too much, the emperor naturally has his own plan for me to resign and retire. And you all know that the emperor did not immediately agree to resign and retire. This also means that I can continue to preside over the business reform in a short period of time, and stay in Hulong Villa to manage the overall situation. However, since the emperor asked me to hand over the resignation document, it is only this year that I want to resign. Just be mentally prepared.”

"Shenhou, since I don't understand the emperor's intentions, why don't I go to the palace and meet the emperor, maybe I can get some news from the emperor." Wan Sanqian couldn't help but said.

Zhu Wushi shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Wan, you don't need to go, in fact, this king guessed a little bit of the emperor's thoughts."

He pondered for a while, and then said quietly, "You have all said that this king is the pillar of the court and the coordinator of commercial reforms. Once the commercial reforms are truly completed, Daming's strength will be multiplied several times. The king's prestige will also reach an unprecedented level."

"This king is a relative of the emperor and has the blood of the royal family. Once this king's prestige is too strong, he even means to overwhelm the emperor. In addition, this king has made great contributions. For the emperor, this king can threaten him at any time." The throne. A person who can threaten his throne at any time, do you think the emperor will let me get the credit for the commercial reform? Even if the emperor dares to give it, this king is not willing to accept it! Once I take this credit, this king It will definitely become a thorn in the emperor's eyes, and then resignation will not be the solution, maybe my king will be killed!"

Zhu Wushi's explanation made everyone silent for a while. The emperor's greatest worry was naturally being taken away from the throne.And as Zhu Wushi said, once he really completes the commercial reform, this huge credit is enough to make him comparable to Ming Chengzu, which is naturally a huge threat to the current emperor.The emperor asked him to resign before he completed the commercial reform. Obviously, he didn't intend to move him, but gave him a way out.
