The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 190: All parties are moved
"My second uncle is so scary, and his origins are unknown. If I could marry into the palace, my second uncle would definitely be afraid of me and would not dare to attack my father and eldest brother easily."

"Yes, this is the best way at the moment. Emperor Shengwu and Ming Dynasty have enough strength to suppress Second Uncle."

"We should find a way to go to the capital. Once we get there, things will no longer be decided by my second uncle."

Tianshan School.

“Senior sister, you finally came out. You don’t know that something big has happened in the Ming Dynasty again.” Fu Tianxiang seemed to have some new and interesting things and couldn’t wait to share them with her senior sister.

“What’s the matter?” Fu Tianjiao looked at the junior sister whom she had brought up lovingly.

"Emperor Shengwu wants to establish a queen and choose concubines, and the standards are very high..." Fu Tianxiang gestured with her hands and chattered.

After explaining the standards, he continued, “Now people in the martial arts world are discussing these things everywhere, and even compiled a list of fairies.

Only women who are at the innate level and under the age of 25 can enter.

Senior sister, you are also on the list."

As he spoke, he seemed to be proud of himself.

Fu Tianjiao's eyes flashed, and she said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid that all the major sects and martial arts families of the righteous path will be in turmoil."

"Yes, I heard that Master and the head master have discussed this several times.

Senior sister, you broke through to the innate realm when you were twenty years old. Strictly speaking, you can also go and choose a concubine.

Even if I am over 20 now, I don’t know if I can still vote? Alas, this imperial edict doesn’t make it clear. "Fu Tianxiang said playfully and regretfully.

"Little girl, you dare to tease me." Fu Tianjiao snapped her fingers at her junior sister, and Fu Tianxiang cried out.

The two sisters chatted and laughed for a while, and then Fu Tianjiao was called away by her master.

"You should know about Tianjiao and Emperor Shengwu's plan to choose a queen, right?" Xue Wanshan, an elder of the Tianshan Sect, said in a serious tone.

"Disciple has already heard from Tianxiang." Fu Tianjiao said solemnly.

"There is nothing wrong with Emperor Shengwu choosing a queen, but his standards are too high.

It is impossible for an ordinary woman to be that tall.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Demonic Path will not let go of this opportunity.

There will definitely be a witch entering the palace, and the righteous factions have already started discussing how to stop her.
Next year, your head master will go to Beijing in person, and you should go with him. Since you are a woman, you may be better able to handle some things.

Also, there should be a righteous woman entering the palace as a concubine this time, but it is not yet certain who she will be.

Tianjiao, you can also think about it more." Xue Wanshan said calmly.

Fu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "Disciple understands."

"Ah."

····
In Cihang Jingzhai.

Yan Jing'an looked at his disciple's room deeply, hesitated for a while, and finally walked in.

"Master."

A young girl bowed respectfully and affectionately.

The girl was only about sixteen years old, but she seemed to possess the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and all the beauty in the world.

It's so stunningly beautiful that words cannot describe it.

"Mengyao." Yan Jing'an looked at his most outstanding disciple with satisfaction, and after a slight hesitation, he said decisively: "You also know about the matter of Emperor Shengwu's selection of concubines.

Your teacher wants you to enter the palace as a concubine, and strive to become the queen in the future."

The girl was stunned and a little dazed, but she quickly came to her senses.

A pair of snow-white, tender hands were clenched into fists, and a solemn expression was reflected on the stunningly beautiful face.

He lowered his head slightly, and after two breaths, he raised it and said firmly: "Mengyao understands. Mengyao is willing to enter the palace to assist Your Majesty, stabilize the world, and benefit the people."

"Mengyao~!" Yan Jing'an looked at his disciple reluctantly and unwillingly.

"Master, Mengyao practices cultivation for the benefit of all people in the world. This is Mengyao's way." The girl shook her head and smiled.

With this smile, everything around seemed to lose its color.

No flower in bloom can match this incomparable beauty.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jing'an took a deep breath and suppressed all his reluctance.

He said solemnly: “Well, Mengyao, the imperial palace is definitely not a good place. Even if the Emperor Shengwu has repeatedly rectified it, when the concubine appears and the prince is born, there will inevitably be countless open and secret struggles.

During this time, the Master will give you some records. You must read them carefully and keep them in mind. Be on guard.”

"Disciple understands." The girl said seriously.

"Letting you, Mengyao, enter the palace as a concubine and fight for the position of queen is for the sake of the world." Yan Jing'an's expression became more serious, without hiding anything, and said directly:
"Mengyao, you are also aware of the situation of the Shengwu Emperor. The Shengwu Emperor is indeed a rare genius that has not appeared in a thousand years.

He reached the level of Grand Master at the age of thirteen, and was proficient in both civil and military strategies.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will be transformed by him, and so will the entire world."

“Let’s not talk about the rest of the world for now. During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Shengwu implemented a series of new policies, most of which were good and beneficial to the people.

So even though it damaged a lot of martial arts forces and the interests of Buddhism and Taoism, my Buddhist and Taoist predecessors didn't care about it, and even helped the court stabilize the martial arts world.

Of course, what is more important is that Emperor Shengwu possesses enough power.

However, Emperor Shengwu was too radical.

In the future, it is foreseeable that Emperor Shengwu will initiate greater changes, even more radical ones, and his relationship with the martial arts forces will become increasingly tense. "

"Mengyao, your main purpose of entering the palace as a concubine and striving for the position of empress is to serve as a bridge between the Emperor Shengwu and the martial arts world.

There is nothing that cannot be communicated and discussed. Avoiding killing will do more good than harm to Emperor Shengwu and Ming Dynasty. Mengyao, do you understand?"

"Disciple understands." Qin Mengyao nodded seriously.

“I understand. However, after entering the palace, you don’t have to rush to advise him, so as not to anger Emperor Shengwu.

After entering the palace, you must first find out which witches may have entered the palace."

Yan Jing'an nodded, and then instructed: "According to our speculation, the major demon sects have long been eyeing the positions of the Empress and Concubines of Emperor Shengwu.

The standard proposed by Emperor Shengwu caught the demons off guard.

Not to mention the female grandmasters under the age of twenty-five, even those under the age of twenty who are in the innate realm are only a handful in the magic world.

But they will definitely not give up and will let the witch into the palace to seduce His Majesty and achieve their ulterior motives.

Before selecting a concubine, Zhengdao will help the Jinyiwei to screen out the identity of the witch.

However, witches have changeable identities, and there may be some that slip through the net. Mengyao, you must find them as soon as possible and remind His Majesty."

"Disciple understands and will not be careless." The girl nodded again.

"Apart from the witch, we don't know what other women will enter the palace this time. Mengyao, you both need to be extra careful." Yan Jing'an sighed slightly.

"Master, don't worry. Mengyao will be fine." The girl smiled and comforted her master.

·····
Still among those mountains.

Several figures gathered together, all with grim expressions on their faces.

"Emperor Shengwu's criteria for selecting a queen have made all our previous preparations invalid." One person said unwillingly.

"We've been preparing hard for more than a year, but it's all in vain." Another figure said coldly.

"It's useless to complain. Emperor Shengwu won't listen to you. Now you should think about what to do?" someone said in a deep voice.

"What else can we do? We must not give up. This is the best chance for us, the Demonic Path." A figure said firmly.

"Yes, Song is weak, Sui is declining, and it is too far away from Yang, and both are not stable internally.

Only the Ming Dynasty is rising like the sun, and the Shengwu Emperor is unparalleled in the world, so we must never give up.

Since ordinary beautiful women cannot enter the palace, then we have to bring out the real core disciples from each family.

It just so happens that only they can attract the heart of a figure like the Holy Martial Emperor."

"Yes, but there are too few people under the age of 20 who are in the innate realm. If they enter the palace, they will definitely be targeted by the women of the righteous path. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me, the Great Ming Demonic Path, to..."

"If the Great Ming Demonic Path doesn't work, then we can contact the various branches in other countries. Now is not the time to be so cautious.

My Demonic Path must gain the support of the Holy Martial Emperor."

"I agree. Let's ask each of them."

····
To the north of the Jin Kingdom, beneath the snowy mountains.

"Okay, okay, this is really an opportunity Zhu Houzhao has taken the initiative to give us. Luo Xian, I want you to enter the Ming Imperial Palace and become Zhu Houzhao's concubine first.

I will help you break through to the Grandmaster level as soon as possible, and then you will become the Queen of Ming Dynasty." Emperor Shitian's somewhat crazy voice sounded.

In front of us, a woman wearing an ice sculpture mask was startled and said quickly: "Master, but I am already 24 years old.

Zhu Houzhao's standard for selecting concubines is to be at the Xiantian realm under the age of 20. Even if I can still participate in the selection, I will not be able to reach the realm of Grandmaster within two years."

"Age doesn't matter. I just know how to modify your age so that no one can detect it." Emperor Shitian said proudly.

The woman was unwilling to do so, because if she went to the Ming Dynasty and her identity was discovered, she would probably be killed without a burial place.

But she knew better that she had no choice.

I could only lower my head and say respectfully, "Yes, Master."

"I also need to prepare a foolproof identity for you. Let me think about it carefully."

····
Zhao State, Zhao Ji received the news first.

His first reaction was to marry a woman from the royal family and make her Zhu Houzhao's concubine, or preferably his queen.

This idea is extremely firm.

But those two standards really stumped him.

"Quickly check, among the Zhao family's royal family, including all the clan members, are there any women under the age of 20 who have reached the Xiantian realm?

If not, can we force one to be cultivated?"

····
Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang, who had sworn to be irreconcilable with Zhu Houzhao and the Ming Dynasty, was also suddenly moved.

But considering their reputation, and after much thought, the Yang family did not have a suitable woman.

He snorted again and suppressed the thought.

But after just a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation.

The current Sui Dynasty does not allow him to be willful anymore.

If a woman who was close to the Sui Dynasty could marry Zhu Houzhao, it would be a very beneficial thing, not to mention becoming a queen, but just being a concubine.

Leaving aside other aspects, it can break the current cold relationship between the two countries.

Yang Guang also needs a way out now.

At worst, perhaps, this will also be a way out for the Yang family.
