The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 212 At least the Grandmaster Realm
'What a Jinyiwei, he is really difficult to deal with.

Does this mean you doubt me?

But what if I doubt it? Who can tell the difference between true and false?

I just don't believe that after months of preparation, you can really find substantial evidence?'

Luo Xian's eyes flickered and he calmed down.

She knew very well that the best thing for her now was to refuse to admit it.

As long as he refused to admit it, the Jinyiwei would be unable to do anything to him because they did not dare to use force and they did not have much time left.

Unless the Shengwu Emperor becomes suspicious and forcefully uses spiritual tactics.

She was not sure whether Emperor Shengwu would do so?
Now, we can only gamble.

In the Qianqing Palace, Guo Bujing said truthfully: "Your Majesty, I have not been able to find any flaws in Miss Luo Xian."

"Oh, forget it if you don't find it." Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask again, do you want to enthrone all these eleven women as concubines?" Guo Bujing asked seriously.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao did not hide it. As long as there were no problems, he was indeed prepared to confer the title.

“Your Majesty, among them are two demonic women, and another person whose identity is questionable.

I think we might as well eliminate a few of them." Guo Bujing said bluntly what he had been hesitating about for a few days.

"Old Guo, how can you judge people by their status?" Zhu Houzhao frowned and said unhappily, "I have already said that as long as you meet the requirements, you can become a concubine of the Ming Dynasty.

I will confer titles to all of these eleven women, except for those who are barely worthy of me.

Also, I want to tell the world that my Great Ming is open to all, regardless of origin or status."

"What's wrong with the demon girl? What's wrong with her identity being in doubt?
As long as they meet the requirements, what does it matter?
Are you still worried that they can harm me?"

"This world will belong to the Ming Dynasty sooner or later. Is your identity in doubt?

No matter what your identity is, you will be the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The demons are also my children, and there are good people among them. We must make the good people abandon evil and turn to good, and punish the evil ones.

Bai Qing'er and Bai Fanghua are women of the evil path, but they are not bad people at the moment. We can use them to change the evil path.

Lao Guo, you need to have a broader vision, do you understand?"

Zhu Houzhao said very seriously.

Guo Bujing was slightly shocked, and suddenly he understood.

No wonder His Majesty never cared about Luo Xian’s doubts.

What Your Majesty saw was completely different from what he saw.

When His Majesty said that the selection of concubines would not be limited by country or status, I'm afraid it was these things that were in mind.

In comparison, his vision is too narrow.

However, he did not feel any regrets. He was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and he had to seize anything that might endanger the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty, and the people.

Most of the time, his vision doesn't need to be that high.

But he knew the way of being a minister, and he immediately bowed and said, "I understand, thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I understand. Go and get busy." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave." Guo Bujing bowed.

After he left, Zhu Houzhao suddenly had an idea.

'That woman Jin Bingyun said that it was for my own good and she didn't want to consummate the marriage with me.

Or why not make her a concubine?'

The next moment, he shook his head again.

'No, I still have to destroy Pang Ban's demon species.

Besides, I told her to beg me to consummate the marriage.'

····
After leaving the palace, Bi Yusheng, who was waiting outside the palace, asked, "My lord, what happened?"

"No result." Guo Bujing shook his head and sighed: "Which one of those eleven is not smart?"

"Yes, if everyone is as stupid as Shi Guanyin, then the problem will be even bigger." Biyusheng said without surprise.

“Heh.” Guo Bujing laughed when he heard this and said firmly, “No matter what, we Jinyiwei have to continue investigating.

As for Luo Xian's side, Yan Zangfeng probably won't be able to find out anything, so he has to find someone who is good at spiritual techniques, but it may be too late, so he can only wait until later.

As for Lian Xiuxiu, if there is no definite result in two days, I will go meet her again."

····
Two days later, Guo Bujing felt somewhat helpless and ran to see Lian Xiuxiu.

We can’t blame the Jinyiwei for not being strong enough.

It can only be said that the time it took for the Jinyiwei to rise completely was still too short.

Just over two years.

More than two years ago, the Jinyiwei had been suppressed for more than ten years.

More than two years had passed, and it was difficult for the Jinyiwei to investigate some things that happened a long time ago in a short period of time.

Lian Xiuxiu was not surprised by Guo Bujing's arrival.

She was wearing a light blue dress, and her temperament was still elegant and virtuous. After a moment of silence, she said calmly: "Master Guo, my identity is actually not complicated.

Prostitution is one of the lowest nine classes and has existed since ancient times.

Part of the brothel is integrated with the evil way, but part of it exists independently.

I am that part of my origin that exists independently.”

"The reason for entering the palace is very simple. Prostitutes are just some women who have no other choice but to stick together for warmth.

I entered the palace to help prostitutes live a better life."

"Is that all?" Guo Bujing remained calm and looked straight into Lian Xiuxiu's eyes.

"Yes." Lian Xiuxiu's clear eyes did not give in as she replied frankly.

After a few moments of silence, Guo Bujing withdrew his gaze and said politely, "I am sorry to bother you all today. Guo will take his leave."

"It's okay." After leaving the palace, Guo Bujing's face was calm, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Still no big gains.

These young women are so smart that even an old veteran like him can't figure out anything. It makes him feel ashamed.

Your Majesty's harem will probably be very lively in the future.

I don’t know if Your Majesty can withstand it?

But don't be fooled.

Guo Bujing couldn't help but feel a little worried.

····
By May 1, the Jinyiwei's investigation had still yielded no results.

None of them has substantial evidence to prove that they do not meet the requirements.

So on May 1st, the ceremony of enthroning the queen and selecting concubines, which everyone in the Ming Dynasty was paying attention to, finally had a result.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao held a court meeting.

He summoned all the civil and military officials.

Afterwards, he called eleven women and asked them to enter the hall.

If it wasn't for the queen, this would obviously be inappropriate, but no one dared to say anything.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Eleven women with different temperaments but all so beautiful that all officials dared not even look at them for a second glance saluted in unison.

"No need to be polite." Zhu Houzhao raised his hand, then stood up as usual, left the dragon throne, glanced at the women, and said loudly:
"Today is the day when I will confer the title of Imperial Concubine.

Since none of you have the cultivation level of a grandmaster, you can only be a concubine.

I will tell you again now in front of all the civil and military officials.

Being my imperial concubine in the Ming Dynasty will not only bring you happiness, but also great responsibilities.

You still have one last chance to regret it. You can tell me and I will never blame you.

Is there anyone who regrets it? "

It is Your Majesty's style for the ministers to remain silent.

There is still a chance to regret this kind of thing.

They also believe in His Majesty, and if a woman really regrets her decision, His Majesty will not care.

The problem is that by then the Ming Dynasty and Your Majesty will probably be ridiculed by the people of the world.

Thinking of this, some gazes pierced the eleven women like sharp swords.

Except for Jin Bingyun, most of the eleven women had their first personal contact with Emperor Shengwu, and were shocked when they heard what he said.

Is there still a chance to regret?
Are you sure you're not joking?

Of course, they did not regret it.

After waiting for a few breaths and seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Houzhao said solemnly: "Okay, since none of you regret it, I will confer the title on you.

Announcement. "

"Yes." Wei Jinzhong responded and said in a loud voice: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Yaoyue, Qin Mengyao, Bai Qing'er, Bai Fanghua, Shangguan Xiaoxian, Lian Xiuxiu, Luo Xian, Jin Bingyun, Hua Zhenzhen, Fu Tianjiao, and Yin Tianxue are now conferred as imperial consorts.

The grades are all from the first grade.

Admire this. "

The simple and clear imperial edict is also very much in the style of His Majesty Emperor Shengwu.

Some of the eleven girls in the middle school were dissatisfied because they were no different from the other girls.

But at this moment, all they could do was to accept the order: "I accept the order and thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao continued to say to the eleven ladies and the officials: "The ranks of the concubines in the harem are a mess. I want to change it, but the future emperor may need it more, so I will not change it.

But my concubine does not need those ranks.

All of them are imperial concubines, starting from the first rank.

From now on, if there is no outstanding woman who can convince me and all my concubines, then I will not take a queen. "

“Of course, you all have a chance.

You can improve your rank through strength or merit.

She could be an imperial concubine of the first rank, an imperial noble concubine of the first rank above, or even the position of empress.

The specific requirements are not difficult.”

"I have been thinking about it these past few days, and I will be able to break through to the realm of heaven and man in less than two years.

Therefore, a Grand Master cannot be the Queen. One must at least be a Grand Master at the Ultimate level. This is the minimum standard.

A first-rank imperial concubine can be promoted based on her merits.

To become a first-class imperial concubine, one must have the strength of a grandmaster and corresponding merits.

The position of queen also requires the strength and merit of a grandmaster.

Do you understand everything? "

Seeing their emperor (husband)'s serious look and those words, everyone was stunned.

Immediately, all civil and military officials felt their scalps tingling.

As expected of our Majesty, he is truly fair and just, and everything depends on strength and merit.

Even concubines are no exception.

From a royal family member to a noble, and now a concubine, the next one won’t be a prince, right?
Probably not.

Among the eleven girls, some calmed down quickly, some felt weird, some felt worried, some were full of fighting spirit, and some were disappointed and angry.

But no matter what, they could only accept the words and bowed together and said, "I understand."

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao looked at the eleven women with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You all choose not to regret, so I believe that you will definitely become good concubines of my Ming Dynasty.

I also need to discuss with you how to achieve meritorious service.

Everyone else can go home if they have nothing else to do."

(Chapter 3, about six or seven more to go, thank you for your support.)
