The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 132 Shocking Influence
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, declares: This is a letter from me, Zhu Houzhao, to the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty and to all the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Descendants of the Ming Dynasty Zhu family, I have abolished all the restraints on you.

From now on, you can do whatever you want?
But one must never use one's status to oppress the people or obtain a position beyond one's ability.

Remember, any achievement requires you to use your own abilities to obtain it.

We must also remember that it is our Zhu family that has let down the people of the Ming Dynasty, not the people of the Ming Dynasty that have let down our Zhu family."

"Go as strong as you can and gain more merits for Ming.

I can give you the title of Duke, Prince, or even the throne as long as you have enough ability.

The future emperor of the Ming Dynasty must not be a waste, even if he is my son.

I give you a guarantee here. If my descendants do not do well, you can replace them.

So don't be afraid of anything and go all out to serve the Ming Dynasty."

"People of the Ming Dynasty, I, Zhu Houzhao, will also give you a guarantee.

If the descendants of Zhu family do not do well in the future and make it impossible for the people to survive, then we will overthrow him without any scruples.

Because such an emperor and the Zhu family will only bring shame to Taizu Taizong and me."

“People of the Ming Dynasty, you can supervise the Zhu family from now on.

I believe that the people of Ming Dynasty are the most important to Ming Dynasty.

Here, I formally abolish all kneeling ceremonies of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

From now on, you don’t have to kneel when you see an official, or anyone else, including me.”

"I hope that every citizen of the Ming Dynasty is a good man or woman who stands tall and has backbone.

If you encounter any problems, don't be afraid.

Remember, you are all my sons and daughters. I will always stand behind you and protect you.

Written by Zhu Houzhao.

Admire this. "

This last imperial edict was written in the most straightforward manner, without any literary grace, and the handwriting was somewhat ugly.

But it was printed in three hundred copies and sent to various parts of the Ming Dynasty by the Embroidered Uniform Guard on the same day.

Carrier hawks and pigeons fly across the sky.

Then these three hundred copies would be printed in larger copies and read out to the people throughout the Ming Dynasty by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Read it out in a dignified manner in public.

On this day, the capital city was the first to boil.

"Your Majesty has also acted mercilessly against the royal family!"

"What's the point of attacking the royal family? Didn't you see it? What did His Majesty tell the people?
If the descendants of the Zhu family do not do well, then overthrow him.

Abolish all kneeling rituals of the people!"

"I hope every citizen of the Ming Dynasty is a good man or girl who stands tall and proud!"

"Your Majesty, are you crazy?"

"Bullshit, Your Majesty truly loves the people like his own children. You are the greatest saint and sage of all time."

·····
The capital was in an uproar, and countless places including Northern Zhili, the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty and thirteen provinces were all in shock.

Nanjing and Jinling.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, declares: This is from me, Zhu Houzhao, to..."

On the street, a Jinyiwei stood straight and read aloud.

Following his voice, more and more people gathered and started talking.

"Is this really an imperial decree? How is it possible?"

"Yeah, how is that possible? How can people be allowed to overthrow their own country?"

"But this is the Imperial Guard, and who dares to falsely convey the imperial edict?"

"There were also Jinyiwei reading out the imperial edict in the next street, and the content was exactly the same as this one."

"Not just in the next street, there are many places. This imperial edict is real. The emperor is probably..."

"Do we really not have to kneel when we meet the official?"

·····
In every place of the Ming Dynasty, from provinces, prefectures, states to counties, the Jinyiwei had never been so active.

The content of the imperial edict spread to almost every region of the Ming Dynasty at the fastest speed.

Too many people felt shocked.

Many of the people at the bottom of society are still numb and ignorant and don't have the time to pay attention.

But there were also many people who heard it and took it to heart.

Although they did not understand much, they felt something in their hearts about this sentence, this promise, and the abolition of all kneeling rituals.

The higher you go, the more you understand, and the more shocked you will be, a shock that comes from the bottom of your heart.

Tianshan School.

“Senior sister, this Emperor Shengwu of the Ming Dynasty is so strange and different. He actually allowed the people to overthrow his own Ming Dynasty. Is there something wrong with his brain?” Fu Tianxiang couldn’t help but said in surprise.

"Don't talk nonsense." Fu Tianjiao scolded lightly, and said solemnly: "The emperor who can say such words must be a good emperor."

"That's true." Fu Tianxiang thought about it, nodded, and said with a sweet smile: "Punishing illegal vassal kings and abolishing all kneeling rituals are good.

This young Emperor Shengwu is really a good emperor."

Fu Tianjiao looked at her junior sister lovingly, then looked towards the east, her face solemn: "Da Ming is about to change."···
In a valley full of birdsong and flowers.

"Sister, this Shengwu Emperor is indeed different. He is willing to give up even the throne and his own kingdom!

This love for the people, magnanimity, and heroism surpasses all the emperors in history." A woman with childish eyes, pure and beautiful, like a fairy, said in surprise and curiosity.

"Humph, I think it's just that the young man has lost his mind. People can change, especially the emperor.

You will see what happens decades later." Another cold and arrogant, equally beautiful woman said disdainfully.

The first woman pursed her lips as if she wanted to refute, but there was a hint of timidity in her eyes and she didn't say anything.

···
On top of a mountain peak.

"Master, I think that Emperor Shengwu is a good emperor!" said a young girl who seemed to be the spiritual energy of heaven and earth softly but firmly.

"Emperor Shengwu truly loves his people like his own children and has an extremely broad mind." The middle-aged but still extremely beautiful woman nodded slightly, but the next moment, a hint of worry appeared on her face.

"But if we act too radically, it will surely cause a lot of resistance and may lead to chaos in many places.

In the future, I will be a Buddhist..."

···
Wu-Tang.

"Hahahaha, what a great Holy Martial Emperor! What a great Holy Martial Emperor!
This kind of heart is better than anyone else in the world." A hearty laugh rang out from the back hill.

"Master is right. This Shengwu Emperor is indeed different from other emperors. He makes us feel a sense of grandeur and integrity. He is trustworthy."

···
Shaolin.

"I'm afraid the world still underestimates this Shengwu Emperor. The power of the Ming royal family will be completely unleashed by him."

"He has dealt such a heavy blow to the royal family this time, and he is also going to demote their titles for generations. This may cause some rebellion."

"Not necessarily. The kings and princes are still in the capital. Even if someone plots, it won't cause a big stir."

"Your Majesty does love the people like his own children, but you are still young and have no children. Since ancient times, emperors have changed with the passage of time!"

···
Jin land.

"It is our honor to meet such a holy king as Your Majesty. How can we cherish our lives?"

"Jin is the beginning of Ming's prosperity. We must ensure that the people of Jin live and work in peace and contentment."

···
"Brother, I have decided. I will use the Dragon Ball to break through in seclusion." After hearing all the news, Zi Yi Hou was silent for a long time, laughed heartily a few times, found Zhu Ye, and said firmly.

"Brother Prince, are you really ready?" Zhu Ye looked at Marquis Zi Yi with a serious expression.

Breaking through to the Grandmaster level is not easy, and failure could result in serious damage.

Although the possibility of success is definitely much greater with the help of the power of Dragon Balls, it is still not that simple.

Especially in terms of martial arts will, Dragon Balls cannot help. On the contrary, if the will is insufficient, it will be negatively affected.

"I am ready. Your Majesty is on the throne, shining brightly like the sun.

It is time for us to show our talents.

As a member of the royal family, I cannot escape.

I have been avoiding this sword for many years." The Purple-Robed Marquis said with a smile, exuding a sharp aura.

"Okay." Zhu Ye smiled. "My brother, you will definitely succeed. Let's go and ask Cha Mulong and his son to protect you."

"Ah."

···
After Wang Shouren understood all the details, he smiled with relief.

'Your Majesty, oh Your Majesty, you have never changed.

No, it's getting better.'

Guo Bujing, Cao Zhengchun, Yan Nantian, Gu Xichao, Zhao Zheng, Wu Yunzhao, many officials and so on.

Perhaps some people think that what the emperor did was wrong, but the entire Jin area became more morale-boosting.

····
A huge convoy that has entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty from the west.

"Is what is written in the imperial edict true? When I listened to it, I felt like I was dreaming!" said a burly man, touching his head.

“Severely punishing the royal family, giving guarantees to the royal family and the people, and abolishing the kneeling ceremony, it really sounds like a dream.

But the imperial edict has been issued, and it is said that it has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, so how can it be false? "The young man next to him shook his head and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, his expression was unusually calm.

After that, he fell silent, only a hint of fiery light appeared in his eyes.

He whispered: "Perhaps, we made the right decision to come to Daming."

"That's well said. Although some of the things Emperor Shengwu did were quite strange, he really seemed like a good emperor." The burly man laughed.

Not only them, but dozens of generals in the convoy also began to feel anxious to some extent.

···
Another convoy that had just entered the Ming territory from the east.

Li Jing's eyes temporarily shone with a fascinating gleam.

He said to his wife beside him with excitement and expectation: "Such a broad-minded master must be my wise master."

"Well, we have arrived in Ming Dynasty." Zhang Hongfu smiled gently.

"Yes, we have already reached the Ming Dynasty." Li Jing nodded heavily, and turned his head to look in the direction of the Sui Kingdom in the east. "Until now, there is still no one chasing us. It seems that Yang Guang has indeed lost too many people's hearts, and his control over the Sui Kingdom has greatly declined."

"It doesn't matter even if there is." Zhang Hongfu said in a relaxed mood.

Li Jing glanced at the other carriage, smiled and nodded.

With a great master here and we have already arrived in the Ming Dynasty, it will be fine.
