Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 316 Chapter 316: The auspicious national destiny is still in Zhu Yuanzhang’s hands!

Zhu Yuanzhang's emperor soul was immediately detained by Zhu Yue.

Anyway, it will be a matter of time.

I guess Zhu Yuanzhang himself didn't want to lie there all the time, waiting for the funeral to be over!

"Is this what the Emperor Soul feels like?"

"It's really completely different from when I was alive!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang in Zhu Li's mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the state of being an emperor soul for the first time. It was a completely different feeling from when he was alive!

The consciousness is still there, and so is the body, but many of the perceptions that normal people should have are missing!
In other words, there have been some fundamental changes in the way of perception.

He didn't even need to use his eyes to see. As long as Zhu Yue didn't block his spiritual thoughts, he could feel everything around him and hear any sound with his thoughts.

This feeling is still very wonderful!

Perhaps it was because he had been exposed to the Emperor Soul for a long time and thought that he would reach this point, so Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the current situation very quickly!

"That's for sure. My son was originally worried that you wouldn't be used to it, but I didn't expect you to accept it so quickly!"

Zhu Yue felt Zhu Yuanzhang's current state and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the old man has indeed looked away a long time ago!

"We have already accepted it a long time ago, it is just a matter of sooner or later!"

"Actually, this is not the first time we have experienced a similar situation!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed helplessly.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Zhu Yue was stunned again when he heard this.

"We can see our own death!"

"When have we ever deduced that you, our descendants, will not see the day when you die?"

"We don't know how many times we have seen our own funeral!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone also contained a hint of self-mockery.

Zhu Yue: "..."

It seems that this is really the case!
"By the way, is your national luck and auspiciousness still there?"

Zhu Yue suddenly thought of the auspicious national destiny and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

According to normal logic, he must know exactly what the condition of the undead or emperor soul captured by him is!

But he didn't find anything special about Zhu Yuanzhang. Could it be that the auspiciousness of the country really ceased to exist because of Zhu Yuanzhang's death?

"It's strange...this national luck and auspiciousness is still there!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously belatedly aware of this, so he hurriedly checked his national fortune and auspiciousness, and found that he had really awakened it successfully!

Now it was Zhu Li's turn to be surprised!
Because Zhu Yue couldn't feel the strangeness in Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial soul at all, which meant that even if he captured Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial soul and had absolute control over him, he would still not be able to feel the auspicious existence of the national destiny!

This thing is a bit outrageous!

It was actually able to block his perception of the general!

But soon, Zhu Yue felt relieved again.

This national luck and auspiciousness is really something that defies heaven. With such ability, it is not surprising!
"Now we feel at ease, our auspiciousness can still be used!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily.

At this moment, death does not seem to be that important to Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Yue.

But having said that, as the founding king of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang still shocked the entire government and the public after the news spread even though he lived to be ninety years old!

Everyone in the court wore sackcloth and wore mourning, even ordinary people and every household did the same after hearing the news!
This shows how important Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding king, was in the civil and military circles of the dynasty, and in the hearts of all the people!
Some people may say that Zhu Yuanzhang killed a large number of founding heroes and nobles in his early years, and was an out-and-out tyrant and butcher. However, the Ming Dynasty can achieve its current prosperous age, not to mention that the people should be grateful to him, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who would Do you dare to talk about Emperor Hongwu behind his back?

Soon, news began to be sent to various vassals and all countries that had diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.

Although a large area of ​​land in the world has been conquered by Zhu Xifeng and the others, there are still many small countries that are still there, and they have all nominally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and regard the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state!
When Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, passed away, not to mention all the vassal kings, even these vassal states sent envoys to express their condolences!

Of course, by the time those envoys from overseas countries arrived in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's body might have been buried long ago!
If you want to worship, you can only go to the mausoleum to worship!
Among the vassal kings, there were two exceptions, and that was the two brothers Zhu Xia Feng and Zhu Xia Ye who already had vassal status in Mobei and Xixi.

They did not return to the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Yuanzhang's death. It was not that they were unwilling to come back, but that Zhu Yue made a decree that they should be stationed in the fiefdom and there was no need to return to Beijing!

Zhu Xia Feng and Zhu Xia Ye naturally understood what Zhu Yue meant.

After all, they also know that Zhu Yuanzhang is not really gone after he dies, his imperial soul will still exist!

On the day they got the news, the two brothers looked at the direction of Ming Shuntian Mansion, then knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully!

Naturally, I kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial grandfather!

In the future, they will still have the chance to meet. Maybe by that time, they will all be Emperor Souls!
At the same time, after hearing the news, all the vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty rushed to Shuntian City with their families and families to attend the funeral!

Nowadays, Zhu Yuanzhang’s fifth-generation grandchildren are everywhere, and even earlier sixth-generation grandchildren have been born!

There were more than a hundred descendants who came to see Zhu Yuanzhang die.
Without exception, these vassal kings all cried heartbrokenly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's soul, and some even cried until they fainted! King Qin Zhu Xi was also among the vassal kings who fainted!
The King of Qin, Zhu Xi, is now old, in his sixties and almost seventy years old, and his hair is half white.

Although he had done a lot of bad things in his life and was often harshly scolded and physically punished by his father Zhu Yuanzhang, he knew better that his old father was protecting him!
For Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xi really hoped that he could live a long life!

Because since Zhu Yue came to power, the only people Zhu Yue could rely on were Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son!

Zhu Biao, the good brother, had taken the first step many years ago, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the old father, is gone now!
It can be said that Zhu Xi's two biggest backstage actors are no longer in this world!
Now, his good eldest brother and good father have passed away one after another, which means that he, the second brother, will have to live by Lao Jiu's face in the future!
After all, no matter how much of a bastard he was and how many shady things he did in the fief, his eldest brother and father could still protect him!
But now, if he dares to commit another crime and cause public resentment, whether Lao Jiu can tolerate him is another question!
After Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin was placed in the Xiaoling Mausoleum built in Shuntian, Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral was finally over!

It’s time for all the vassal kings to leave!

But before that, Zhu Yue called all the brothers who were still alive to the palace and had a meal together!
In fact, among these vassal kings, only Zhu Di knew the truth about the old man's death!

He was the only one who knew about the Emperor's soul after the old man died.

The other feudal lords had no idea!
Zhu Yue and Zhu Yuanzhang also made repeated orders that Zhu Di must not be revealed to other brothers!
It's not that they don't care about their loved ones, but among the many vassals, there are definitely many vassals with the same mentality as Zhu Chong!

If they know that Zhu Yuanzhang and even the eldest brother Zhu Biao continue to exist in the world in another form and can still be found, they will definitely have something to rely on!

On the contrary, hiding it from them can make them all have scruples and make them realize that their biggest reliance has fallen. In the future, they will be more careful and restrained when acting in the fiefdom!
To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue were just doing it for the benefit of these vassal kings!

After all, you have really done something that deserves to be killed. Should Zhu Yue, the emperor, kill you or not?
Not to mention killing, even if the punishment is heavier, these feudal kings may go to the Emperor Soul Tower to complain to the old man!
These situations are not allowed by Zhu Yue and Zhu Yuanzhang!
Of course, after basically all of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons have passed away, there will be no such worries for his grandchildren and even great-grandchildren!
Perhaps decades later, the secret of the Emperor Soul Tower will be spread to people within the Zhu family royal family!

But at least for now, only a limited group of people know this!

Even the eight veterans who traveled with Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were basically dead. Now, only Lan Yu and Li Xin are still alive!

They were also influenced by Zhu Yue, because Zhu Yue rewarded each of them with a half-finished longevity pill!

Let them live for more than two years, there is still no problem!

Before these vassal brothers left the capital, Zhu Yue was not stingy and gave each of them a half-finished longevity pill.

Just think of it as buying people's hearts. Anyway, this is what the old man meant. Zhu Yue must give him this face!
After all, the old man followed Zhu Li, and he must have felt uncomfortable when he saw his sons crying in front of his soul!

"You can stay in Sunchon for a few months if you want, and you can leave whenever you want. I won't restrict you!"

"If you miss your father from now on, you can always return to Shuntian to pay homage in front of his grave!"

After the banquet, Zhu Yue spoke to the vassal brothers again, and then left the scene directly under the complicated gazes of everyone.

Today Zhu Yue is the emperor, the eldest brother to most of them, and the younger brother to a small number of them!

But the relationship between monarch and minister is the greatest, especially after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, his old father, all of them must respect Zhu Yue from now on, and they must respect him from the bottom of their hearts!
……

"Father, many foreign countries have sent envoys to Beijing one after another!"

On the other side, Zhu Xiaqiu told Zhu Yue that many missions were coming to Ming Dynasty to express condolences to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, the distances between the Fanbang countries are different, and the time to reach Suncheon City must be different too!
Only a small number of people could make it to Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral. In most countries, due to travel reasons, they could not even arrive until several months after Zhu Yuanzhang's death!

Missions were arriving one after another, and they all came in the name of condolences to Zhu Yuanzhang. Naturally, the Ming court had to give them a good reception!
"In this way, whether they are those who have already arrived in Beijing or those who are about to arrive in these foreign countries, you arrange for people from the Ministry of Rites to tell them that from now on, they can set up embassies in the Ming Dynasty and let their missions be permanent!"

"From now on, if anything happens here in Ming Dynasty, there is no need to go back and forth across thousands of mountains and rivers!"

Zhu Li thought about it and came up with the idea of ​​establishing an embassy!

Similarly, Ming Dynasty will definitely open embassies in these small countries, so as to facilitate normal exchanges and communication between Ming Dynasty and these countries!
"Build an embassy?"

"This is a good idea. If something like this happens again, these small foreign countries won't have to travel thousands of miles to send people to participate!"

When Zhu Xiaqiu heard this, his eyes lit up.

"But Ming also has to establish an embassy in the other country. As for the selection of diplomats, it is up to you to consider it!"

Zhu Yue directly arranged another task for Zhu Xiaqiu!
"diplomat?"

“Isn’t this workload a bit too much?”

"The officials from Honglu Temple most likely won't want to go to these small countries as envoys, right?"

"Then it's no different than assigning them directly!"

When Zhu Xiaqiu heard this, his expression immediately turned bitter.

"Actually, something similar happened once when we attacked Japan!"

"You are so smart, why don't you learn from others and draw inferences?"

"And diplomats don't have to stay outside for the rest of their lives. They can set a term of office!"

Zhu Yue reminded Zhu Xiaqiu seriously.

"Then for a period of four years, high-ranking officials will be given generous salaries?"

"There must also be some financial subsidies. After all, I am away from home for four years, and I must be raising a family, so I have to spend money!"

Zhu Xiaqiu suddenly laughed bitterly.

Zhu Yue said it was easy, but in fact it is certainly not that simple to operate!

Anyway, this emperor can only use his words. In the end, it is he, the prince who supervises the country, who is exhausted from all his busy work!
"Anyway, you can figure it out yourself. If you can't figure it out yourself, doesn't there still be a cabinet?"

"A large group of people can always find a way!"

Zhu Yue didn't give Zhu Xiaqiu a chance to complain at all. After speaking, he simply turned around and left in the latter's somewhat resentful eyes!
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral has ended, there are still many trivial matters that will follow, and only the emperor Zhu Yue will handle them personally.

Zhu Yue has no interest in dealing with state affairs, so he can only leave it to Zhu Xiaqiu!
