The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 124 The Image of a Young Horse Emperor

The cabinet and others were busy dealing with the aftermath of the incident in Jin.

What happened in Jin also spread at a crazy speed.

Wherever he went, whether it was the officialdom or the martial arts world, everyone was shocked.

Pairs of eyes, some filled with fear, anger, helplessness, or fear, were staring at Jin and the capital.

This great emperor of Ming Dynasty...
Afterwards, whether intentionally or unintentionally, what Zhu Houzhao said to the cabinet and others that day spread like the wind.

'Then let them oppose it. Would I be afraid?

At worst, I can conquer the world all over again.

If Taizu can do it, why can't I do it?'

'How can a real man hesitate and be soft-hearted?
I love my people like my own children, which is why I must be ruthless and heartless, and not discriminate against my relatives.

Nothing can stop me, nothing can defeat me.'

These two sentences in particular almost made the Ming Dynasty speechless.

Since ancient times, which emperor would personally say that he was cruel and ruthless and did not recognize his relatives?

Which successor to the throne would not care about the turmoil in the country and would rather conquer the world again?

The image of a young emperor who is extremely domineering, ambitious, yet unruly, so aggressive that he wants to poke a hole in the sky, and even a little crazy.

This time it was imprinted extremely clearly in the hearts of countless people in the Ming Dynasty.

The martial arts world, which had been somewhat agitated, became quiet again.

Only in those pairs of eyes was there a deeper fear.

At the same time, it naturally spread to other countries, causing even greater fear.

State of Song.

After Zhao Ji understood the situation clearly, he was stunned for a while.

"Madman, he is simply a madman." Zhao Ji was puzzled and felt a fear that made him feel cold all over.

He is the emperor now, why is he fighting so hard?
"Zhu Houzhao is simply a madman." Zhao Ji couldn't help but curse.

There was fear and grievance in his eyes.

Why would such a lunatic be his neighbor? And he's so strong!
Then there was another feeling of relief.

Fortunately, I have never offended Zhu Houzhao.

Even if he wants to go crazy, he will go crazy on other people first.

Suddenly, he shouted, "Tell Gao Qiu to send all the people to Ming as soon as possible, and don't send a bunch of incompetent people. Send a few more talented people."

"Yes."

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang, who was trying to stabilize the internal situation and secretly planning a second expedition to Goguryeo, suddenly felt his pupils shrink.

"Zhu, Hou, Zhao!"

A sense of fear emerged as if it were real.

As an emperor himself, he knew very well that there was nothing an emperor who could say such words in person could not do.

Zhu Houzhao will definitely attack the Sui Dynasty one day.

'No, I want it faster.

Only with my unparalleled military achievements and the national strength of the Sui Dynasty can I break through to the realm of heaven and man and deal with Zhu Houzhao and Temujin.'

Yang Guang became more determined and more impatient.

Those villains and a bunch of untouchables, I will kill you all.

Meng Yuan.

There was a flash in Temujin's eyes.

He looked towards the south and was silent for a long time.

'Zhu Houzhao, will you destroy yourself?

Or will he become Ben Khan's greatest enemy?'

Kublai Khan was also silent for a while, and then said firmly: "Zhu Houzhao is crazy. He will either be destroyed by his own madness, or soar to the sky and become the most terrible enemy of the Mongols."

Golden State.

Wanyan Aguda issued an order that not a single soldier could enter the Ming territory.

A cold snort of discontent came from above the iceberg.

"Crazy man, just go crazy, even if you succeed, what does it matter?
You will still die in a few decades.

It is never too late for me to take revenge."

The Liao Kingdom, the Turks, the more distant Liyang and Beimang, as well as a number of small countries, all silently deepened their fear of the Ming Kingdom and the Ming Emperor.

In the Ming Dynasty martial arts world.

Wudang Mountain.

Many Taoists were discussing in a somewhat strange atmosphere, but naturally they could not come up with anything.

In the back mountain.

"Can this world really be cleansed of all its filth?" A faint murmur sounded.

On Longhu Mountain.

"Your Majesty has made up his mind. Even the royal kings have begun to clean up. I just need to recite Huangting quietly in Longhu Mountain and must not provoke disturbances from the outside world." An old voice sounded.

"What if it's an imperial edict?" A voice asked hesitantly.

"Follow my orders." The old voice said without hesitation.

"Yes."

Shaolin Temple.

"Too much rigidity will lead to failure. Your Majesty, you are too rigid." An old monk sighed.

"Your Majesty has reached the highest level of Grandmaster, the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry is feared throughout the world, and you have Duke Zheng's protection. Who can break your Majesty's sword?" An old monk shook his head slightly.

Finally, the old monk nodded.

There is another very important point, which they did not mention, but they knew it in their hearts.

The most powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty may not necessarily have any opinion towards His Majesty because of this matter.

There will definitely be some who would be happy to see it. As long as these peaks exist, unless most of them have ideas about Your Majesty, no one can make Your Majesty too stubborn and easily break.

And this is only the case now. If Your Majesty breaks through to the realm of heaven and man, it will be even more impossible.

The old monk who spoke first shook his head again, "External forces are no longer possible, but your Majesty's biggest flaw is himself.

Your Majesty is obviously connected to the Ming Dynasty. It is not easy to govern the Ming Dynasty.

Your Majesty is alone and can only sit in the capital.

The emergence of Wuzheng Villa in Jin will only be an exception.

Plus, it was so unexpected that they were completely helpless.

In other places, no party is willing to give up easily and let others do the bidding. "

The other two old monks pondered, and one of them said, "The court is now full of talented people.

That Grand Commander Wang entered the Tao through literature, which is respectable and admirable.

There are three new great masters in Neiyan. With your majesty's imperial power and trust in eunuchs, there will definitely be more than these three in the future.

The Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis of the royal family, Guo Juxia of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the grand masters of the older generation.

The court also has many talented people among the younger generation.

Your Majesty is also actively recruiting talents from other countries.

Your Majesty's governance will not necessarily fail."

“Yes, we may not lose.” The first old monk sighed and said meaningfully: “Regardless of winning or losing, there will be a lot of killing.

We Buddhists should advise Your Majesty to reduce the killing."

"Amitabha." The other two old monks nodded slightly, showing that they understood and agreed.

Taking absolute sides is not what Buddhism does.

It can't be done.

Otherwise, it would offend this strong and overbearing Majesty.

Either the rest of the martial arts world is wiped out, or many people in his own family will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, whether it is Shaolin or Wudang, they will not take absolute sides.

In this process, they can only take one step at a time and do what they can.

“Tell Fang Zheng to keep the situation under control. There have indeed been a lot of filth under Shaolin’s command over the years.” The first old monk sighed again.

Deep in the mountains.

"What a young Emperor Shengwu! He is so sharp and fearless.

The Ming Dynasty is about to embark on an unprecedented battle, which is a great opportunity for our Holy Sect.

At all costs, we must draw on the power of the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, this is the best opportunity for our Saint Sect in a hundred years. All branches must give their best efforts."

“We have arranged for thirty-two women with the cleanest backgrounds. Although the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has stated that he will no longer hold beauty contests, he will definitely choose a concubine.

As soon as he chooses a concubine, at least a few of our people will be able to enter the palace.

By joining forces, becoming a concubine or even going further may not be impossible."

"Not enough. Thirty-two people are far from enough. To be absolutely sure, we must prepare more people."

"Yes, and what kind of person is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? How can an ordinary beautiful woman be favored by him?
We have to prepare women who are really good enough.”

"That's right! Each branch must go all out. If the branch doesn't have it, then look for it at all costs."

····
A strong wind blew across all the countries in the world and within the Ming Dynasty.

This wind naturally also blew into Jin.

Wang Shouren, Zhu Ye, Zhu Wusi, Cao Zhengchun and others all sped up after hearing Zhu Houzhao's words.

They knew that the longer the matter in Jin was delayed, the greater the pressure on His Majesty and the court would be.

The best way is to cut the Gordian knot.

Fast, fast, and faster.

Cao Zhengchun, Guo Bujing and others no longer cared about the reputation of the grand masters.

After dealing with the Xiantian realm, we will continue to take action to deal with those bandits hiding in the mountains and who are difficult to deal with.

As time passed, the chaos in Jin was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Until the sixth day of June.

In just over ten days, the sounds of fighting in Jin basically disappeared.

The result was that the number of martial artists in Jin was reduced by half.

Only one out of a hundred bandits survived, and the few that escaped hid in the mountains.

More than 800 officials of certain ranks were arrested, and nearly 4,000 clerks without certain ranks were arrested.

Many places in Jin were not governed by officials and relied entirely on the army for maintenance and the factory guards for supervision.

Of course, with such a shocking move, all the gang members were wiped out, and all the thugs who took the opportunity to cause trouble were also arrested.

Among the remaining people, few dared to cause trouble.

After more than half a year of preparation, several grand masters of the imperial court, more than twenty innate masters, and an army of more than 100,000 men joined forces, and with the cooperation of the righteous martial arts world, they finally cleansed up the Jin area.

When Zhu Ye, Cao Zhengchun and others finished their work and gathered from all over the place, they all felt how difficult it was.

If it weren't for your Majesty's firm will and the addition of four new grand masters to the court, it would have been impossible to achieve this.

Fortunately, they did not disappoint His Majesty's expectations and did it.

I was even more excited when I saw the preliminary results.

The real money and silver are counted in billions, and the land and industries in various places are countless.

The imperial court is going to launch this wave.

The Jinyiwei, the Dongchang, and other people will also become rich.

Of course, there are also many troublesome things.

For example, too many martial artists and bandits were arrested.

A total of more than 100,000.

(My computer broke down today, and I spent a lot of time replacing it with a new one. It was so troublesome. The third chapter is a little late. Thank you for your support.)
