The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 466: The Han flag is flying at the foot of Mount Fuji, and horses are riding in Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

In the hall of the palace, Xu Xin explained his plan in detail to everyone.

The Ming Dynasty has only begun the transfer of power, and the real power is still in the hands of Xu Xin. He can use the power of the Ming Dynasty to help him build his country, conquer Yingzhou eastward, and seize this place to open up his Xu Dynasty.

The Han flag is flying at the foot of Mount Fuji, and horses are riding in Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Every Chinese man has such a dream, but it was difficult to realize it in ancient times. In ancient times, it was too difficult to conquer Yingzhou.

Not to mention, Mongolia's two eastern expeditions both failed due to typhoons. If they had succeeded, history might have been different.

The failure of the Mongol Empire's Eastern Expedition was due to multiple factors. In this world, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Xin to fail.

First of all, the current Ming Dynasty is more powerful than Mongolia during the Eastern Expedition. Xu Xin has been laying out Liaodong for many years. He has been exploring that area and can find a landing site very close to Japan. It does not necessarily have to be by boat. It can be done in multiple ways.

In addition, he has conquered Yagyu Shininryu, the most famous martial arts sect in Japan, early on. In recent years, with his support, the influence of the Yagyu family has gradually penetrated into all aspects of Japan. With such an internal influence, it is very difficult for him to open up the situation. easy.

"Everyone, for the sake of our future, go down and prepare!"

After Xu Xin finished talking about his general plan, everyone present was excited. The glory of opening the first page of the new family tree was waving to them. The benefits of conquering a country were huge. Xu Xin had already shown them to them over the years. Destroying a country and colonizing it can also make a business.

Moreover, what is being done this time is Japan, an ancient country with a long history in East Asia. To destroy the so-called emperor and immigrate the people of the Central Plains is not equivalent to recreating China.

As for the local people, when the Age of Discovery begins and those people are allowed to take risks and develop, they cannot be allowed to usurp the resources of the people of Daxu!

In the Forbidden City, Xu Xin's mobilization meeting had just ended, and the emperor over there had already received the news. Xu Xin returned power to him with great fanfare during the day, and summoned so many civil and military officials from both sides at night. Of course, he couldn't sit still. Been paying attention.

"What? Father Zhong is preparing to leave the Central Plains."

When the emperor learned that Xu Xin had specially leaked the information to him, he was confused for a moment and felt that things were developing so fast that he was caught off guard.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Master also asked me to bring you some words."

The emperor's uncle, Zhang Heling, had followed Xu Xin to engage in overseas trade a long time ago. Now he is also one of the most wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Xin specially invited him this time, and after that, he also asked his uncle to come to the Forbidden City to guide him. talk.

"What did Father Zhong say?"

The little emperor sat in front of the dragon case and wanted to drink a cup of tea to calm down, but found that his hands were shaking really badly.

"The Grand Master said that you can't help but feel uneasy about the people he left behind. There are many constraints. Since he has retreated, you might as well take them all away!"

"This is also the last thing he can do for you. You have to walk the road ahead yourself. You have to establish your own majesty."

"Also, there is no need for you to seal the prince's throne. He can conquer the country himself."

Zhang Heling was very serious when he said this, trying his best to recall Xu Xin's expression when he spoke, and solemnly warned his nephew.

He also couldn't understand why his nephew was in such a hurry. It was clear that Grand Master Bingzheng had always done a good job, but now... he could only rely on the little emperor himself.

"I understand, Uncle Guo, please go down first!"

After listening to the words of his uncle Zhang Heling, the little emperor took a sip of tea to calm down, and waved his hand to let him go down!

Zhang Heling bowed to Zhu Houzhao and the Queen Mother, then turned and left the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty! You have really hurt the Grand Master this time." Queen Mother Zhang sighed. She did not expect that things would develop to such an extent.

"Mother, I know I was wrong. My father left, and now Father Zhong is leaving too. He is doing it all for me..."

The emperor hugged his mother and cried silently like a child who had not grown up.

The words Xu Xin asked Zhang Heling to lead made him realize that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, and this was also the best outcome.

Xu Xin's invitation today brought more than half of the civil and military officials who were eligible to attend the court meeting during the day. This is his invisible power.

If Xu Xin does not leave the Central Plains, even if he retreats to the second line, he can still influence the government at any time and is still the strongest power. Even if he does not have the idea himself, who can guarantee that the people around him or his descendants will not act recklessly.

The emperor has great achievements and has the strength to rebel at any time. Such a person is around. The emperor can tolerate his old feelings for a while, but can he endure it for a lifetime?

How can you allow others to snore next to your bed?

Xu Xin served as the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, but his surname was not Zhu, so sooner or later he and the person named Zhu would have conflicts.

So before he left the Forbidden City, he left such a sentence.

"I'm not Wang Mang, but I don't want to be Huo Guang either!"

What he said was from his heart, but it was also helpless.

A powerful minister who has reached that point always has only two choices.

Either do something "cao cao", that is, follow the example of Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, etc., depose the emperor and proclaim himself emperor in the "zen position", and take the throne yourself.

Another option is to imitate Huo Guang and be a "loyal official" for the rest of his life. For such a person, if you are alive and the whole family is honored, nothing will happen to you. If you die, your home will be confiscated and you will be exiled. That is already considered a light thing.

Xu Xin did not choose the above two paths. His choice was unprecedented in history, and it can be said to be the first of its kind.

"Shou'er, your father-in-law is a man of great virtue and a true saint."

Queen Mother Zhang held her son in her arms and gently stroked his head to comfort her. However, she thought of that year when she was on top of the embroidery building, looking at the high-spirited young man who came below to pick up the bride. At that moment All she could think about was him.

Unfortunately, that young man is not her future husband. This may be the most regretful thing in her life.

"Fu Zhong is a great virtue and a saint. My father is right, but my child is wrong. Shou'er is really wrong..."

Xu Xin's choice is unimaginable in this era, and this is also the last step of his three immortal "morality".

The "Three Immortals" praised by the world, meritorious service and speech are relatively speaking only things that can be done by oneself to gain the recognition of the world.

Just like Xu Xin's cheating, sealing the wolf to live in Xu and drinking horses from the sea, if he has achieved this level of meritorious service, it is simply undisputed.

"Establishing words" is similar. His "Wang Xue" defeated Neo-Confucianism and established orthodoxy. Who can say that he is not good at "making words".

The key lies in the aspect of "morality". Who can say that he has not made any mistakes? If we really want to find fault, no one’s virtue is enough.

Therefore, Xu Xin took a different approach and did not care about "private morality" at all, but about "great virtue". After helping the Ming Dynasty to turn the world, he was able to give up the opportunity to go further and return power to the emperor.

How can you say that such a person has problems with his "morality"? This is the pinnacle of "establishing virtue". This is the saint who unites the three immortalities of meritorious deeds and moral conduct.
