King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Zhu Youjian was speechless for a while, thinking, what's wrong with you? What he just saw was the embroidered sword hanging on Liu Ruo's hip!

Zhu Youjian was barefoot. He put his shoes on the boat, walked towards Liu Ruo, and directly pulled out Liu Ruo's Xiuchun knife.

Sincere tone:

"One world, one sword. Liu Ruo, you also came from society, do you believe it? Do you want to become an immortal cultivator?"

Liu Ruo's mind went blank, and he answered:

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I have heard of the existence of immortal cultivators, but I have never seen one with my own eyes. But if you choose to practice, then practicing is the right thing to do."

Zhu Youjian took over Liu Ruo's words and grinned:
"Great, do you want to be my apprentice? I can teach you the techniques I practice?"

"Ah?!" Regner was stunned. Liu Ruo shouted in surprise, with the same voice as Xu Changnian. Although they were two different people, it sounded like they were spoken by the same person.

"Why are you still standing there!" Zhu Youjian said unhappily. Liu Ruo's reluctance could be seen from his expression.

"Reject? Let me tell you, among these four people, you are the strongest. Your brother Shen Lian is my disciple, did you know that?"

Liu Ruo lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhu Youjian rolled up his sleeves and said to Shen Lian: "Shen Lian, why don't you call me Master?"

It would have been better if he didn't mention it, but Shen Lian was a little surprised by his sudden request. Although he was Zhu Youjian's disciple, Shen Lian had never called him "Master" in front of his elder brother.

If it was an outsider, it would be fine.

As a family, Shen Lian didn't want to lose face.

He opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Zhu Youjian was furious and said angrily, "Shen Lian, you are being disrespectful to Master!"

The four of them looked at each other, all with mocking expressions on their faces.

Zhu Youjian's expression changed, and Shen Lian stammered, "Your Majesty, big, big, big, big, big."

It’s better not to shout!
But come to think of it, his cultivation is too poor and he is simply unable to fly in the air.

In this world, fairness is important, and no one wants to worship a person who is weaker than himself as a teacher. He is not Tang Monk, but Zhu Youjian.

"Go back, I want to go back!"

The angry Zhu Youjian had no choice but to watch the other side of the river.

"Your Highness, would you like me to lead the way for you?" Liu Ruo said.

"It's okay! If I can't fly, can I swim?"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand, then jumped into the lake.

Zhu Youjian walked out of the cold lake, his whole body wet with sweat and his heart cold.

Wang Chengen quickly put on Zhu Youjian's outer robe.

It was not until this time that Xu Changnian and Liu Ruo realized that Long Yan was really angry and their hearts were filled with fear.

Xu Changnian quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, if the emperor wants it, I will be happy to do it!"

Liu Ruo said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I wish to do so!"

Feng Yuxiu also said: “Your Majesty, you can go ask them.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian could only sigh and lead everyone forward.

"If he doesn't mean it, then I don't want it!"

"Are you looking down on my path of cultivation? Ha! I'll show you my skills!"

"My path of cultivation is moving very fast. If you miss it, you will never have another chance."

In fact, Zhu Youjian was also thinking of other ways in his mind. In addition to these people, he had a better candidate.

This woman was none other than Empress Zhou.

……

Zhu Youjian forgot to go to court because he had heard the morning bell a long time ago, so all the officials got up early. However, when they walked into the Fengtian Hall, they found that there was no one there.

Then, another eunuch came in and pulled a long banner onto the steps, which read:
I won’t go today!
The ministers then realized that their boss had stood up to them.

Everyone looked at each other, muttering to themselves.

The head of the Ministry of Revenue said, "The emperor did not attend court today, but he called us all here. What's going on? This old man has made no progress at all. He is simply a foolish monarch."

The head of the Ministry of Personnel said: "Yes! Otherwise, many people would have died in the court today. The emperor went to court yesterday, dismissed Wei Zhongxian, and put Wen Tiren in jail. It is said that the Wen family's property was confiscated by the emperor. All the Wen family members were exiled. What a domineering guy."

The head of the Ministry of War also said: "In the past, we all hoped that you would be diligent and hardworking, but now we wish you were just a lazy and mediocre king, and practiced to become an immortal, so that you don't have to go to court anymore."

……

Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi, two cabinet members, were whispering.

Qian Qianyi said: "It is a blessing that the emperor did not attend court today. At least we are safe for the time being."

Zhou Yanru said: "There is nothing to worry about. Both of us are fine, and the emperor will not hold us responsible!"

Qian Qianyi said in a sarcastic voice: "I am afraid that the emperor will accuse us of something we shouldn't, or that we have been deceived. If that happens, we will never have a chance to turn things around, and we won't be able to explain ourselves until we cross the Yellow River."

……

Zhu Youjian was walking on the road to the palace when he met a group of ministers. Zhu Youjian was barefoot and his face was dripping with sweat.

All the civil and military officials in the court felt complicated when they saw Zhu Youjian's slovenly appearance.

Some of them were panicked, some showed contempt, and some even turned around and ran away without even looking at Zhu Youjian.

And those who failed to escape struggled and struggled, finally falling to their knees.

"Long live your majesty!"

Zhu Youjian ignored him and walked straight towards the inner palace. The ground was covered with wet marks everywhere.

It was the first time that the ministers saw Zhu Youjian like this, and they couldn't help but sigh.

When Zhu Youjian walked to the corner, both of them stood up.

"This is too scary!"

Zhou Yanru looked at Qian Qianyi and sighed, "The emperor is really going backwards as he gets older, just like an immortal in the mountains."

Qian Qianyi looked at him with admiration, and then said, "Alas! I always feel that the emperor is different from before, don't you think so?"

……

Zhu Youjian walked barefoot into Kunning Palace and walked out with Wang Chengen and others.

"Get lost! I have things to do!"

The remaining three people, including Wang Chengen, were all a little confused when they saw the mysterious Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian walked along, rubbing his head constantly, thinking to himself that he was really stupid. Immortal cultivators cannot fall in love, but they can practice with her. If he can teach her how to practice together, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

At this time, Queen Zhou had just finished her government affairs and was tidying up her desk when she suddenly discovered that Zhu Youjian was bare-legged and soaked all over.

I was shocked.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Queen Zhou's voice softened.

Zhu Youjian stared at her for a while, then looked at her, and looked at her again, as if he wanted to make the atmosphere colder. He only stopped when Queen Zhou couldn't help but rush over.

"I want to practice with you!" Harmony of Yin and Yang?

This was something Queen Zhou had never thought of.

Zhu Youjian didn't care whether he was really dirty or not. He walked to Empress Zhou and held her hand.

"The so-called dual cultivation is the combination of yin and yang. The meaning of dual cultivation is to practice together with me! Let us become a perfect couple!"

After saying this, Queen Zhou extended her arm.

"Your Majesty! How are you?"

Queen Zhou stretched out her slender hand and touched Zhu Youjian's head, thinking that he had lost his mind because of being frightened.

But the reality is not like that.

"That's what I said. I just don't believe it! I'm a lunatic!"

Zhu Youjian sighed. He knew that he had been regarded as a madman. Ever since he brought a group of Taoists into the palace, the whole palace had been talking about him.

In fact, Zhu Youjian had also heard a lot of discussions about her in the palace.

An eunuch said that Zhu Youjian was a complete psychopath, how could he listen to a Taoist priest. He even heard that Qin Shihuang chose to practice cultivation in order to pursue immortality, and then told me that Qin Shihuang had become the Great Emperor and Jiajing was about to become an immortal.

A maid said that Zhu Youjian might be worried, as he often covered his heart with his hands and looked very unhappy.

Even Zhu Youjian himself began to have some doubts about himself.

"Your Majesty!" Queen Zhou hugged Zhu Youjian in her arms and looked at Zhu Youjian with a worried look on his face.

Zhu Youjian held Empress Zhou's hand and tightened his grip. "Don't you trust me? You still don't believe I can practice cultivation? You don't believe that what I practice is real?"

As soon as these words came out, Queen Zhou's heart was lifted. In her mind, the immortal cultivator was just an illusory thing, but Zhu Youjian was her husband, which made her have to believe it!

Empress Zhou's eyes were firm, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to be your slave, your slave!"

His eyes were firm, but more of them were doubtful.

That night, the moonlight was like water, illuminating the dark night with a hazy hue, and the lights flickered unsteadily.

Zhu Youjian first fed Queen Zhou a marrow cleansing pill, then a body tempering pill, and finally the method of practicing Chunyue Gong.

Although Empress Zhou's aptitude for cultivation was mediocre, she was no match for Zhu Youjian's Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Formation, which he had not yet mastered, and he sent a stream of spiritual energy to her.

……

So Zhu Youjian did a very risky thing, which was to close the gate of the palace and not let anyone in.

Wang Chengen stayed at the door and helped him with eating and going to the toilet.

In the following days, the same thing happened. Zhu Youjian and Queen Zhou were both in Kunning Palace.

Therefore, the rumors between Zhu Youjian and Queen Zhou had spread throughout the entire palace.

First of all, things in the palace are still going on, and those nosy little eunuchs are whispering with those bored maids.

The eunuch asked, "The emperor and the queen have been in Kunning Palace these past two days. What are they doing?"

The maid said, "What else can a man and a woman do? Of course it's that kind of thing!"

The father-in-law was stunned: "For several days in a row, is it really okay?"

The maid said, "I don't know what you want me to say."

"I don't have that, and I don't understand how strong a man is."

……

Some say what happened between the emperor and Queen Zhou, while others say Zhu Youjian married her wife.

No one knew where this news came from, but it caused quite a stir.

For several days in a row, officials left work early because there was no supervision from their superiors.

On the way home, the head of the Ministry of Revenue saw his colleague and best friend, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, and heard the biggest gossip in history, so he called him over.

The head of the Ministry of Revenue said, "I have only heard that the emperor practiced cultivation, but I have never heard that the emperor and the empress practiced cultivation at the same time."

Minister of Personnel: "This is the first time I've discovered that the Emperor is so crazy! Not only is he going crazy himself, but he's also going to drag everyone down with him!"

Zhou Yanru, who was standing behind them, slapped them on the shoulders and said sternly, "Watch your words, or the emperor will go crazy and send you two to prison! Being a big shot is nothing, but what I'm worried about is whether the emperor will drag you down with him. I want to see if you have the ability to do that!"

The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Personnel were a little flustered and quickly found an excuse to leave.

Qian Qianyi stood behind Zhou Yanru, gently placed his hand on his shoulder, and whispered:
"I heard that the Emperor has just taken Shen Lian into the palace and has even married a queen. If things continue like this, I'm afraid a new world of immortal cultivation will emerge soon!"

Zhou Yanru shook his head: "What kind of gentleman is this? Are you practicing?"

Qian Qianyi shook his head helplessly. "Are you practicing?"

"No!" Zhou Yanru shook his head again. How could a normal person practice cultivation! Despicable!"

This is even more true for Zhou Yanru. His ancestors all studied medicine. Zhou Yanru, who is proficient in medicine, knows very well that most of the spiritual practice is nonsense. The pills they refine are fine if taken for a short period of time, but if taken for a long time, it is very likely to cause death.

Zhou Yanru looked at the setting sun and sighed: "How long can the emperor Zhu Youxiao live? How long can Zhu Youjian live? Why can't you be a good emperor? Why do you need to practice?"

……

After practicing for so many days, Zhu Youjian felt that he was exhausted both physically and mentally. Dual cultivation was even harder than doing business!

The next day, just as the sun rose, Zhu Youjian pushed open the door that had been locked for a long time.

There are two big bags under the eyes on an old face.

Lin Yi and Lin Yan stood at the door, waiting.

"You are really amazing. You didn't even listen to the warning from your uncle?"

Lin Yan patted the window and said unhappily.

Lin Yi also scolded: "You really ruined such a good foundation. You are going to ruin your beautiful skin."

Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry. He waited until they finished speaking before he spoke:

"No! I said, I just started yesterday!"

"I don't believe it!" Chen Zhao shook his head. Lin Yan said proudly, "Let me tell you, the two of us have made a big leap overnight. This is one of the few big improvements we have made in these years. What do you think?"

"I'm Lin Yan, I'm Lin Yi, I'm level 4!"

"Zhu Youjian, Master is waiting for you in the alchemy room. He wants to see your cultivation level."

Zhu Youjian opened his panel and saw that line of words that was particularly eye-catching.

"【Host: Chongzhen Zhu Tan, Zhu Youjian.】

[Age: 17]

[Practice Level: Qi Training Stage 99 (Next Stage Completion: %)]

Ninety-nine percent? Only one percent left!
Although as an emperor, he should be fearless.

However, the descendants of the Zhu family all have a fear of their master. Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the Zhu family has attached great importance to family education and is very strict in family education.

As a disciple, Zhu Youjian was most afraid of Guo Mingling. He was terrified of being beaten by him. But now that he had become his disciple, he could be considered his disciple.

Physical fear.

He remembered Master Mo's warning. If they found out that his strength was only this limited, he would be doomed. (End of this chapter)
