The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 118 The Second Dragon Head's Plan is Disrupted
A sad atmosphere permeates.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

The heroic and majestic drumbeats shattered the sky and spread far and wide.

Zhu Houzhao and nearly ten thousand dragon riders watched Mu Kun and two hundred Wudi dragon riders leave.

That kind of atmosphere infected the new members Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi. They felt a little sad, but also a little envious and yearning.

Mu Kun and the others left, but everything continued.

After the first primer, the dragon riders were able to accept it better.

Two days later, the five hundred selected young men entered the Emperor Wu Dragon Riders and began their transformation.

Three days passed.

Among the civil servants, two things happened that were quite important to them.

First, Liu Daxia and Li Wei, the two people who angered His Majesty and led to corruption and merit being used to decide the life and death of officials, will be executed.

Liu Daxia was investigated by the factory guards for several months, and Li Wei was also investigated for quite some time.

A number of officials and people from other walks of life were implicated in the two cases.

These officials and people have been arrested and dealt with according to law.

Liu Daxia and the other man no longer had any other use, and they could only use their lives to warn other officials.

So, they were really skinned.

Many officials were terrified.

The second thing made many officials frightened and panicked.

The former Minister of Personnel, Zhang Yue, who has since died, was ordered by His Majesty to have his property confiscated and all his fame and benefits stripped away.

The reason was that the other party was corrupt and accepted bribes when he was an official, and many officials in Jin were promoted by him.

This means that the unspoken rule that officials take bribes has been broken.

Your Majesty does not admit it at all and must get to the bottom of it.

Many officials were terrified.

When the news spread, many retired officials became worried.

I secretly prayed that what I did would not be discovered.

Of course, some officials were happy.

You don’t have to take the blame for what your predecessor did.

By May, Zhu Houzhao had been on the throne for almost half a year.

The Ming Dynasty, especially northern Zhili with the capital as its center, had undergone considerable changes.

This change is still spreading rapidly.

Zhu Houzhao saw all this and felt happy.

The role of the factory guards has begun to take effect.

Every decision he made is also having an effect.

The Cabinet, the Six Ministries, and the Censorate have all obviously undergone major changes compared to last year.

The court is being changed by him.

At the same time, in Jin, the second plan of Cao Zhengchun, Guo Bujing and others was also being arranged and improved step by step.

It was a dark and windy night.

In a courtyard, Zhu Ye was waiting quietly.

Suddenly, there was no sound of any fluctuation, but a figure appeared in front of him.

The bright red dress looks so warm and stunning on her tall figure.

It's like a flame burning with the most beautiful light.

This is a woman with a cold and arrogant look between her brows, as if she doesn't care about anything and everything will be trampled under her feet.

"Dongfang, congratulations on your breakthrough." Zhu Ye's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said with a faint smile.

"Great Dragon Head." The woman looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her and spoke in a calm voice.

"This is the third time we've met." Zhu Ye said with a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Since you've already made a breakthrough, you can officially become the second leader of the Azure Dragon Society."

"It's up to you." The woman said nonchalantly, as if she didn't care at all.

He glanced around, the corner of his mouth curled up: "See you appear here, you want me to take action again.

The Great Dragon Head is no longer hiding? "

"Haha, everyone who needs to know about the relationship between the Azure Dragon Society, the Sun Moon Sect, and the Ming Dynasty already knows it.

What's more, now that the Holy Lord has appeared, our most important task is no longer to monitor the martial arts world.

Instead, I will help Your Majesty to wipe out all those who are disloyal." Zhu Ye smiled and said with a domineering attitude.

The woman's pair of slender, graceful, and somewhat domineering eyes were slightly empty, and she said calmly: "The Sun and Moon Sect will naturally obey your will."

"Okay." Zhu Ye smiled with satisfaction, "Dongfang, I asked you to come here this time not only to ask the Sun Moon Sect to take action.

There is one more thing I want to tell you.”

"Speak." The woman raised her eyes slightly.

"You should know something about your majesty's temperament.

The Sun and Moon Sect was a demonic cult in the past, but it is no longer so now. Your Majesty's Ming Dynasty will never allow the existence of a demonic cult that oppresses the people.

The Sun and Moon Sect is not an option either." Zhu Ye said calmly and confidently.

The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled with interest: "Is our Majesty really so interesting?
I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes.

Even your own forces have to be sacrificed?"

"Don't take advantage of the fact that you are a woman to be disrespectful to His Majesty." Zhu Ye said this with a hidden warning, but did not pursue the matter too much.

He said solemnly: "Dongfang, I know that since you became the leader, you have restrained the Sun and Moon Sect members from doing whatever they want.

You've done a great job, just keep doing it.

Also, don't be too soft-hearted. People like Ren Woxing cannot exist in your Majesty's Ming Dynasty.

Let's solve all the problems that need to be solved at once.

Concentrate your strength and wait for orders at any time."

"Got it." The woman responded casually.

Faced with such an attitude, Zhu Ye didn't say much.

The woman in front of him was qualified to act like this in front of him.

"By the way, when the matter in Jin is over, I will take you to the capital to meet His Majesty. The Azure Dragon Society is in charge of the affairs of the martial arts world, but the Sun and Moon Sect is also directly under His Majesty, as the second dragon leader, and supervises the Azure Dragon Society.

You haven't met His Majesty yet, this shouldn't happen." Zhu Ye said calmly.

"I am quite interested in this matter." The woman's eyes moved slightly and she smiled again.

"The action is tentatively scheduled for July 2nd. If anything unexpected happens, I will notify you.

It's okay, you can go back." Zhu Ye said calmly.

"Still no news about my sister?" The woman's expression suddenly became serious, and her tone was cold.

“No, but Jin is not far from Blackwood Cliff, and your sister may also be in Jin.

We can take advantage of this cleanup to thoroughly investigate Jin." Zhu Ye said calmly.

"Okay." The woman uttered one word.

Silently, the big red figure suddenly disappeared, as if it had never been there.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Ye's eyes.

Such speed!

Then he smiled, this girl was giving him a warning.

However, he did not know the whereabouts of her sister.

Not taking this matter to heart, Zhu Ye went on to do other things.

Two days passed.

Yan Nantian went to Jindao Village in person.

After some drinking, he took out the imperial edict.

After a while, he happily left Jindao Village.

A few more days.

Guo Bujing and Cao Zhengchun came to Wuzheng Villa again and returned satisfied.

·····
While Zhu Ye and the factory guards were busy, Wang Shouren's movements were getting bigger and faster.

A few months passed, and the five hundred Wu Emperor Dragon Riders successfully joined the Jin army of three or four hundred thousand.

A large number of officers from the border troops, garrisons, etc. were picked out, and five hundred dragon riders replaced them.

Relying on these five hundred Emperor Wu's dragon riders and the righteousness of the imperial court, Wang Shouren has already taken control of the three or four hundred thousand troops in Jin.

Initial rectification is underway.

"Minister Gu, thank you for your hard work." Wang Shouren looked at the summary in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"The Grand Commander's words are too serious. This is my duty." Gu Xichao said calmly.

His attitude was neither close nor distant, but he obviously kept a certain distance from Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren admired Gu Xichao even more for this.

Because he already knew this talented man, who was only loyal to His Majesty and only worked for His Majesty.

Therefore, the other party will not get close to you.

Your Majesty has indeed picked up a treasure, and it is also a brilliant move to let him start with the Ministry of Justice.

“Let’s do this. The four divisions must go deep into every guard post.

You can personally select the candidates for the Military Court." Wang Shouren said.

"Yes." Gu Xichao responded.

They also discussed some matters concerning the military courts at all levels directly under the Ministry of Justice, and Gu Xichao went to work with full of fighting spirit.

Wang Shouren pondered for a moment and called Wu Yunzhao over.

After asking a few questions, he said sternly: "General Wu, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of Yanmen Pass."

Wu Yunzhao's expression changed, and he saluted and said, "I obey your orders."

"Yanmen Pass is of vital importance. There are 20,000 troops stationed there. General Wu, you must completely control these 20,000 troops within two months. Do you understand?" Wang Shouren said in a solemn voice.

"Yes, I understand." Wu Yunzhao said firmly without hesitation.

After Wu Yunzhao left, Wang Shouren slowly exhaled, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.

But he did not rest, but continued to think.

Reorganizing the Ming army is still the first step.

The Wei Suo system was good as it could save the Ming Dynasty a lot of money and grain.

But if you want to unify the world by this, that won't work.

Still needs to change.

At least some changes must be made so that the Ming Dynasty can have at least one million most professional soldiers.

There are still too few qualified generals.

During the Battle of Tumu, the elite troops were almost completely lost, and the Ming Dynasty had been suppressing the military with its civil power for decades, and the country had been peaceful for too long.

In the short term, we can only obtain more qualified generals from other countries.

Fortunately, Your Majesty was able to suppress the various voices of disrespect that arose from this situation.

However, it is time to start internal training.

There are still talented people among the Ming Dynasty's border troops and garrisons.

They are also the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

How to cultivate it?

····
Everything in Jin was proceeding in an orderly manner.

In late May, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot began to evacuate Shanxi openly and with great fanfare.

Seeing this, all forces in Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

This group of plague gods are finally leaving.

Just when they breathed a sigh of relief and Cao Zhengchun sneered secretly, a sudden piece of news disrupted all their plans.

Dragon Ball appeared!
A dragon ball was obtained by a female disciple of Tianshan Sect, and the news leaked out.

Although many people don't know what Dragon Ball is, the few who know are all interested in it.

Then, word spread from somewhere that the Dragon Ball was the greatest treasure in the world, and whoever obtained the Dragon Ball could obtain the world.

Immediately, it caused a sensation among countless martial artists in Jin.

Cao Zhengchun and others were furious. Seeing the second step of the plan starting little by little, who knew that such a thing would happen.

(Chapter 3, thank you for your support.)
