The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 210 Five New Armies
"Hmph, mother, don't underestimate me." After rolling her eyes at her own mother, Shangguan Feiyan smiled and said, "My Lingsu is no worse than those fairies. Even those in the Xiantian realm will still fall in front of Lingsu.

Lingsu is also a fairy."

"Fei Yan, don't talk nonsense." Cheng Lingsu shook her head slightly and glanced at the closed city gate.

Eleven fairy-like figures have already entered.

Can I compare with them?

This thought once again emerged in Cheng Lingsu's mind.

····
With the end of the much-anticipated first stage of the ceremony of establishing the queen and selecting concubines, eleven women entered the palace.

Every detail of it began to spread throughout the world at lightning speed.

There are so many things that are worth discussing by countless people.

Among all classes in the Ming Dynasty, the middle and upper classes care more about eliminating all malpractices as mentioned by Emperor Shengwu.

With the example of Jin in front of us, no one dared to be careless.

In the lower classes, people were more discussing the eleven fairies who had entered the palace.

The Sui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, etc., were more concerned about other aspects.

For example, breaking through to the realm of heaven and man within two years, and Pang Ban mentioned in that sentence.

Especially the Mongols.

When it was confirmed that Jin Bingyun had entered the palace, Pang Ban, who received the news, had a cold face for a while and then went into seclusion.

Shu land.

The Yin family of Yu Jian Villa has been the most prominent family in the Shu martial arts world for hundreds of years.

"What's going on? How did your sister enter the palace? How could she be at the innate level?" Yin Hao, the head of the Yin family of this generation, frowned and stared at Yin Tianqi who rushed back at the first opportunity.

Below, sat a middle-aged man with an aura of majesty and gloom. His aura was heavier and more powerful than Yin Hao's.

At this time, he was also looking at Yin Tianqi quietly.

This kind of gaze made Yin Tianqi instinctively feel awe, even more awe than he felt for his own father.

He lowered his head and said a little aggrievedly: "Dad, Second Uncle, I don't know what's going on?

Tianxue suddenly went to participate in the imperial concubine selection ceremony, and then went straight into the palace. I had no way to contact her, so I had to rush back to tell you."

Yin Hao frowned even more tightly, he couldn't figure it out.

“It is indeed beyond our expectations that Tianxue could have cultivated to the Xiantian realm without telling anyone.

He even hid it from his family, could there be some reason for this? We should find out as soon as possible.

Tianqi, you should go to the capital immediately and find a way to contact Tianxue as soon as possible to find out the truth.

Let's see if it was my elder brother or my second uncle who did something wrong? That's why she kept it a secret from us. "At this time, the famous and powerful Grandmaster Yin Zhong, who was even more famous in Shu, spoke up.

Calm, yet makes people obey subconsciously.

Yin Tianqi nodded immediately.

Yin Hao said, "Second brother, Tianxue must have some difficulties, how could she involve you?"

Yin Zhong smiled and said nothing more.

In the Ming Dynasty Palace.

After the first stage was completed, Zhu Houzhao put aside the matter of choosing a queen and concubines and focused on daily state affairs.

The next month was the time for the Jinyiwei to fully investigate the identities of the eleven women.

Only after the investigation is completed can it be officially canonized.

During this month, they will stay in the palace and cannot go out.

Of course, a small number of people can enter the palace to see them.

Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't pay attention to these.

I have never thought about meeting those women and communicating with them.

In his eyes, communicating with those women was not as interesting as discussing state affairs.

What's more, he is so busy now.

The tenth day of April.

Zhu Houzhao officially issued an edict, ordering the Grand Commander of the Military Cabinet, Wang Shouren, to reorganize the border troops and form three new armies, the 18th, 19th and 20th Armies.

He also ordered Qi Jingtong to reorganize the Ming navy and form the Ming Navy's First Army.

The formation of four new armies, especially the First Naval Army, is bound to be extremely costly.

A large amount of manpower and material resources were mobilized.

However, what the court lacks the least now is money and manpower.

Under Zhu Houzhao's prestige, no one dared to object.

April th.

Zhu Houzhao issued an edict, ordering the already formed First Army and the Twelfth Army to begin to fully reorganize the garrisons in northern Zhili.

The reorganization of the garrisons in northern Zhili was something that had been prepared for a long time.

Zhou Shanmin's 12th Army was transferred to the capital with the purpose of acting as a sharp knife.

After more than half a year of investigation, the situation of the garrisons in northern Zhili has been almost completely understood, and it is time to take action.

It would be most appropriate for Li Jing's First Army and Zhou Shanmin's Twelfth Army to take action.

Because they have nothing to do with the garrisons in northern Zhili.

Can be used as two of the fastest and most powerful knives.

In order to live up to Zhu Houzhao's expectations, Li Jing was determined to make achievements, repay the emperor's trust in him and prove himself.

He was even more aware that in the Ming Dynasty, he only had the emperor as his backer.

Needless to say, Zhou Shanmin has already worked hard to bring honor to his family.

The two led the First Army and the Twelfth Army, and with accurate intelligence, they began to clean up and rectify dozens of guards in Northern Zhili, except for the border troops and the Beijing camp. They could only watch and secretly hope that they would not be implicated in the complicated relationship with these dozens of guards.

April 24th.

Good news reached Zhu Houzhao.

Han Shizhong, commander of the First Guard of the First Army, broke through to the innate realm.

Li Jing recommended him for the position of commander of an army.

Zhu Houzhao was happy and asked Han Shizhong to lead people to form the 21st Army with the reorganized soldiers of the Northern Zhili Garrison as the source of troops.

While Zhu Houzhao was busy with state affairs, the impact of the issue of choosing a queen and concubines continued to ferment.

The eleven women who entered the palace were also restless.

They, as well as the forces and relationships behind them, are all moving for this.

The silent undercurrent is always surging.

The Jinyiwei went all out, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Perhaps except Zhu Houzhao himself, everyone else attached great importance to this matter.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao did not neglect it. He took it very seriously.

It's just that the expression is different.

He now tends to focus on doing what he should do when it is time to do it.

At other times, he would leave things to the ministers and just look at the results.

Of course, the process is also very important, so for departments that are close, such as the Cabinet, the Military Cabinet, the Factory Guards, the Six Ministries and other capital departments, he will personally check and supervise from time to time.

For those who are far away, most of them have to rely on the factory guards and ministers.

In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, there was no need to personally supervise the investigation of the identity information of the eleven women.

There seems no need to go and see those women.

Therefore, it seems that he doesn't take it very seriously.

But for the senior Jinyiwei officials, the pressure was growing as the month passed.

The headquarters of the Imperial Guards in Beijing.

Among the high-level officials in the capital, except Yan Nantian who is still practicing with all his strength, the rest are all here.

"So far, among the eleven candidates for imperial concubines, Qin Mengyao, Yin Tianxue, Hua Zhenzhen, and Fu Tianjiao have clean identities and clean pasts. It can be basically confirmed that there is no problem."

Guo Bujing was sitting at the very top. Biyusheng, who was already the pacification envoy of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and one of its think tanks, said in a deep voice.

Seeing that the people above the level of assistant minister had no objection, he continued, "Jin Bingyun's identity is also innocent. He was in Mongolia in the past and cannot be verified. He has the skills from Pang Ban and is very dangerous.

There is no problem with the identities of Yaoyue and Shangguan Xiaoxian. Shangguan Xiaoxian is the biological daughter of Shangguan Jinhong.

However, it is impossible to truly find out whether the two had killed innocent people and harmed the people of our Ming Dynasty in the past.

Lian Xiuxiu, so far we have only found out that it is related to the prostitution sect among the long-standing lower nine sects, and it also has some connections with the evil sect.

The specifics are still to be determined.”

"Bai Qing'er and Bai Fanghua, there is no problem with their identities. They are from the Yingui Sect of the Sui Dynasty and the Tianming Sect of my Ming Dynasty respectively. The Tianming Sect is a branch of the Yingui Sect of my Ming Dynasty.

The two of them are from the same source, and it is impossible to confirm whether they have harmed the people of our Ming Dynasty.

Because the Yingui Sect and the Tianming Sect were powerful enough to clean up the traces and change the facts early.

The last Luo Xian is the one whose identity is the most uncertain so far."

Seeing that everyone was on high alert, Bi Yusheng continued, "According to the investigation conducted by Captain Yan himself in Changbai Mountain, some villagers and hunters have indeed seen a fairy-like figure appearing in Changbai Mountain, with a similar appearance and temperament.

But the news did not become a rumor and spread. Yan Qianhu also said that these villagers and hunters seemed to have forgotten it, and they would not remember it if he did not ask.

Moreover, there is no such record among the martial arts forces in Changbai Mountain.

Yan Qianhu also found a hermit's inheritance, but there was no news about Luo Xian either.

At present, there is some doubt about his identity, and his past is also unclear. "

"So, those villagers and hunters might have been tricked?" Zhao Zheng frowned.

"It is indeed not ruled out." Biyusheng nodded.

“Since there are doubts, we must investigate them thoroughly.

But in terms of time, I'm afraid it's too late." Zhang Fengfu said in a deep voice.

The investigation time is one month, and that is one month. The time cannot be delayed easily.

The whole world is watching.

After a moment's silence, Guo Bujing slowly said, "Eleven candidates for imperial concubines.

There is no problem with the four of you, no need to say more.

I will report Jin Bingyun's problem to His Majesty.

Yao Yue, Shangguan Xiaoxian, Bai Qing'er, and Bai Fanghua all have confirmed identities, but their pasts are questionable.

Lian Xiuxiu's identity is also somewhat unclear.

I will report all of this to Your Majesty truthfully.

The last Luo Xian, it’s time to meet her.”

Everyone thought about it and nodded, with no objection.

If we meet and talk, perhaps we will have more clues about many things.

"This information will be top secret and cannot be leaked at all. Everyone should know this." Guo Bujing's tone was solemn and meaningful.

Everyone nodded again, indicating that they understood. Those who could sit here certainly knew the importance of the matter.

"By the way, how are the things that Shi Guanyin asked you to do going?" Guo Bujing looked at Bi Yusheng.
