The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 139: Mistakes must be punished

Seeing these people again, he was extremely happy and felt only cordiality.

Subconsciously I wanted to get closer to them.

Everyone truly felt the intimacy and sincerity.

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

Guo Bujing and Weng Taibei believed that they were the least close to His Majesty among this group of people.

But when they heard the words "Lao Guo" and "Lao Weng", they couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.

Even Guo Bujing, a grandmaster, felt flattered.

Only when they were sure that it was His Majesty's sincerity did they accept it and felt warm in their hearts.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think too much about it. After getting close to them, he invited them to dinner and drinks in the Qianqing Palace.

Although it was somewhat against the rules, fewer and fewer people would follow the rules in front of Zhu Houzhao.

The banquet was set up, and Zhu Houzhao took the lead in eating, drinking and chatting happily.

Gradually, everyone relaxed and began to talk about various important and interesting events in Jin, and Zhu Houzhao listened with great interest.

After a long pause, Zhu Houzhao said with some regret: "I am too busy to join you in cleaning up Jin."

He paused for a moment, then turned his voice into a high-spirited and determined one, "After a while, I will definitely go to Jin to take a look.

See what's happened there?"

"Your Majesty, with less than 100,000 martial artists, princes, officials, bandits and others oppressing Jin, the people will surely live better and better.

This is all thanks to your majesty's grace." Zhu Ye said.

"No, this is not my favor." Zhu Houzhao shook his hand and said seriously and casually: "I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is what I should do."

Everyone present was moved.

The word "should" is too natural.

Naturally, they felt that this was the emperor's greatness.

"And you are the ones who have really contributed. I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the father of all the people. I have to thank you on behalf of the people of Jin." Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, your words are too serious. This is what we should do." Zhu Ye spoke first.

The others also nodded and spoke.

"You are right. Let's not say much more. Just eat and drink to your heart's content." Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily and picked up the wine glass to drink it heartily.

Everyone drank the wine in their glasses.

After drinking, Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly and looked at the wine jug.

I curled my lips secretly, it’s so unpalatable.

I really don't understand what's so good about this wine?

But for the sake of being domineering and manly, he still endured it.

After a while, Guo Bujing took out a dragon ball from his chest and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the seventh dragon ball in my care.

The eighth dragon ball was swallowed by Chamuxue, the son of Chamlong, when he was a child, and it may be difficult to retrieve it.

Now Cha Mulong has joined the Jinyiwei, and he and his son Cha Muxue are able to control the dragon balls.

Especially Chamuxue, who has only one dragon ball in his body, but can sometimes exert power that is beyond that of ordinary grand masters.

Of all the people who have come into contact with the Dragon Ball, Cha Muxue is the one who can best unleash the power of the Dragon Ball."

Although he did not say it explicitly, everyone understood his intention to plead for Chamulung and his son.

Wei Jinzhong had already walked down by this time, took the dragon ball from Guo Bujing, and handed it to Zhu Houzhao.

"Hahaha, great. In this way, in a few years, my Ming Dynasty should have another grand master." Zhu Houzhao took the dragon ball and said with a smile.

After saying this, he remembered something and said with a big smile: "I remember that Cha Muxue is only about ten years old, at this age he should be going to school.

Then let him go to school like a normal child."

"Yes, I understand." Guo Bujing said with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao played with the dragon ball for a while, then raised his hand and threw it into Guo Bujing's hand.

He took out another dragon ball and threw it at Yan Nantian.

Yan Nantian took it and looked upwards in confusion.

"Old Guo, Old Yan, use these two dragon balls first and practice as hard as you can, but you can't be impatient." Zhu Houzhao said carelessly.

Looking at the others who were somewhat envious, he said seriously: "Among you, only Lao Guo and Lao Yan are suitable for using the Dragon Balls alone for a long time.

Others, can only be used for a period of time.

I will place a dragon ball with Duke Zheng, and whoever of you wants to use it can use it under the care of Duke Zheng."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The others were delighted and said in unison.

"Your Majesty, this dragon ball is best used by you." Guo Bujing said, and Yan Nantian nodded.

"I still have some." Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said with great confidence and pride: "Besides, whether there is a dragon ball or not, I can break through to the realm of heaven in a few years."

When everyone heard this, they all felt that the realm of heaven was out of reach.

But everyone believed it.

The realm of heaven is out of reach and legendary to them.

But for Your Majesty, it must be very close.

Your Majesty yourself is the greatest legend.

We talked about various topics for a while, and gradually got to the point.

"Your Majesty, the true identity of Guan Yutian is a descendant of the Murong clan, who have been trying to perfect the magical weapon Ningshuang Sword for generations.

According to him, the Frost Sword possesses incredible power.

Decades ago, the Sword-Forging City agreed to forge the Frost Sword for Murong's descendants.

Guan Yutian used the secret of the Frost Condensation Sword to ask for a chance to break through to the Grandmaster level. I have agreed. Your Majesty, please make the decision. "Guo Bujing said. Murong's descendants and the Frost Condensation Sword are Guan Yutian's secrets.

"What do you think of this Guan Yutianren?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

“This person is definitely not a good person, but a tyrant.

His Supreme Alliance criminals have committed many blood debts to the people, some of which were caused by following his orders, so this man should also be executed. "Guo Bujing said truthfully.

"Since he has agreed, let's give him a chance to break through." Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment and said decisively: "If he fails, there is nothing to say.

If he succeeds, a great master will spare his life and imprison him, so that he can be made to do something mortal for Ming in the future to pay for his sins. "

"Yes." Guo Bujing replied.

At this point, Zhu Houzhao thought of something and immediately said, “There’s no need to kill those criminal masters you brought back.

It always feels a bit unfair to let them die like this.

Abolish their powers, let them do the hardest and most dangerous work, and slowly pay for the sins of the people of Ming Dynasty."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Those who sit here are not pure martial artists, so they don’t feel any grief for the loss of another.

On the contrary, I think this is good.

Even if their skills are wasted, as long as the technique is more delicate, their bodies will not be affected too much and they will be much stronger than ordinary people.

A few thousand people can do nearly ten times the work of ordinary people.

"People at Lao Wang's place can do the same. Notify Lao Wang immediately." Zhu Houzhao said again.

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian responded.

"Your Majesty." Cao Zhengchun hesitated, but still said: "The East Factory has too few experts, and it is difficult to expand.

I ask for your Majesty's permission to select some experts from among those criminals to join the East Factory.

This way, they can atone for their sins.”

"Two Caos accompany you." Zhu Houzhao said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "How can you think so? If they join the East Factory, won't they be free?
What is expiation? That is not expiation, it is acquittal.

I don't care who he is or what strength he has. If he makes a mistake, he must be punished accordingly."

"I know I was wrong. I lost my mind for a moment. Please punish me, Your Majesty." Cao Zhengchun immediately admitted his mistake.

"It's okay. Think about it, it's nothing. As long as I haven't done anything wrong." Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.

Then he looked at everyone and said, “Guan Yutian is the boss of the Supreme Alliance. If his subordinates conceal the blood debt he committed against the people, I can spare their lives.

But these blood debts were caused by the orders he gave, so even if he broke through and became a grandmaster, he would still die.

However, if the crime is not punishable by death or is not too serious, such as Yuan Suiyun, who killed some people, they were all people from the underworld and did not kill the lives of ordinary people.

We can give them a chance to atone for their sins.

You can all follow this standard in the future."

"Yes, we understand." Zhu Ye, Guo Bujing and others responded.

Everyone else was fine, except Zhu Ye, who sighed in his heart.

It is time for the Qinglong Society to launch a major purge.

Because by that standard, a lot of people deserve to die.

Even he has a lot of responsibility.

After all, many orders were given by him, and when his subordinates carried them out, sometimes some civilians would be implicated.

No, that can’t be calculated that way.

If this is the case, then the one who actually gave the order was not him, but...
I shook my head secretly, a little hesitant. Should I confess and admit my mistake to His Majesty?
Zhu Ye was still hesitating, but Zhu Houzhao decisively made decisions on what everyone had said.

It was not until I heard that the Jinyiwei had recruited a group of talents and was preparing to improve the internal quality of the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Houzhao spoke out what he had been thinking about for a while.

"It is right and must be done to improve the quality of Jinyiwei personnel.

However, now that the responsibilities and scale of the Jinyiwei are getting bigger and bigger, it's time to upgrade the rank of the Jinyiwei.

The third rank is too low."

Of course, Guo Bujing and others couldn't say much about this.

"You guys wait for the order, I need to think about it carefully." Zhu Houzhao added.

"Yes."

It took more than two hours to deal with all the difficult or controversial issues.

Everyone left.

Zhu Ye stayed.

"Uncle, is there anything else?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

Zhu Ye confessed the problems of the Qinglong Society.

Zhu Houzhao's brows gradually frowned. He really ignored this problem.

In other words, there were too many problems in the Ming Dynasty, and he did not have a detailed understanding of all aspects of the Qinglong Society, so he naturally ignored it and only gave a few simple reminders.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me." After saying that, Zhu Ye knelt down directly.

He hesitated for just a moment before making the decision.

Being honest is the best option.

As the emperor's incarnation of darkness, he shouldn't have any secrets.

The concealment will be discovered sooner or later, and he also understands His Majesty's character.

By then, he would probably be hated by His Majesty.
