The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 237 The Real Prosperity

Before the voice fell, even Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others showed proud smiles.

Over the past three years, it is rare for Your Majesty to praise officials in public.

Even they couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this compliment.

All the civil and military officials in the court were delighted.

"However." Zhu Houzhao raised his voice. This turn of events made everyone subconsciously nervous.

"What I want to tell you is that this is just the beginning."

Zhu Houzhao glanced over and said seriously: "During this period, I heard someone say that a prosperous era is coming.

When I heard it, I found it ridiculous.

Is the current Ming Dynasty considered a prosperous era? "

"There are still countless people in the Ming Dynasty who are starving, freezing, and being bullied. Is this considered a prosperous era?

The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it seems.

I have thought about what a truly prosperous age is for a long time, and I feel that a truly prosperous age is one in which no citizen of the Ming Dynasty suffers from hunger or cold.

Everyone can eat well and wear warm clothes.

All children can receive education according to their aptitude, all elderly people can enjoy their old age, and all heroes can be respected.

All the people will not be afraid of being bullied by others, because they know that they are people of the Ming Dynasty.

When encountering difficulties, he can proudly say, I am a Ming Dynasty person.

Only a Ming Dynasty like this can be called a prosperous era.

How much is left for the current Ming Dynasty?"

It was like a basin of cold water poured over everyone's heads, interrupting their pride and complacency.

Except for a few people who disagree, they think that what Your Majesty said is not a prosperous age, but a fantasy and a foolish dream.

The rest of the people were silent and hesitant to speak.

They also wanted to say, Your Majesty, that situation is impossible.

It has never been possible since ancient times for no one to be hungry or cold and for everyone to be well fed and warmly clothed.

As for the other aspects, if you want to achieve them, you must first rely on having enough food and clothing before there is any possibility.

The civil and military officials became even quieter, and even Li Xunhuan had a solemn expression, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"If you don't answer, I will help you answer. The current Ming Dynasty is still far from it.

Don’t tell me anything about the prosperous times in the past.

I tell you, in my eyes, anything that cannot achieve that level cannot be considered a prosperous age.

They are just deceiving themselves and bragging, choosing the tallest one among short ones, and they are not that bad.

I disdain it." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand with arrogance.

All the civil and military officials looked solemn and felt helpless in their hearts.

Your Majesty thinks so and denies the prosperity of your ancestors. What else can they say?
Some officials have become somewhat negative. How is it possible to achieve such a prosperous era?

It was like the goal of flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, which suddenly made them feel confused and lost.

"Do you think the prosperous age I'm talking about is impossible?" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and pointed at Li Xunhuan: "Minister Li, you say."

Li Xun Huan stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think the prosperous times you are talking about are indeed unprecedented and can be called a true prosperous times.

But the difficulty is also unprecedented.

But I am willing to devote my entire life to this end, even at the cost of my life."

Many people looked at Li Xunhuan with admiration.

Part of it is the meaning of the words.

Part of it is that I think this is a really good flattery.

"Haha, okay, Lao Li, I believe you." Zhu Houzhao laughed twice and praised with trust.

Then, he swept his majestic and overbearing eyes across the room and said loudly, "I know that you all don't believe the prosperous times I talked about and think that I am dreaming.

But I tell you, and I tell everyone in the world. "

“Before me, no one would have believed that someone could break through to the Grandmaster level at the age of twelve.

Before me, no one would have believed that someone could destroy the Jiannu and defeat the arrogant Mongols at the age of twelve.

Before me, no one would believe that the Ming Dynasty would cleanse the Jin area.

Before me, no one would believe that the Ming Dynasty would destroy the so-called Kong family.

Before me, no one would believe that the Ming Dynasty would purge the royal family, and that the emperor would personally say that if the Ming Dynasty did not do well, the people could overthrow it.

But I did it.

He accomplished those miracles and absurd things in the eyes of the world.”

“Even this year, I’m afraid not many people would believe that I could break through to the heavenly realm within two years.

Here, I tell you again, next year, I will definitely break through to the Heavenly Man Realm."

"Let me ask you again, can't I create that kind of prosperity?"

The arrogant voice was like thunder exploding in the sky, with a mighty will, overwhelming and majestic.

Thousands of officials were out of control, their blood was boiling, they felt impulsive and excited.

They seemed to see a real sun.

It emits infinite light, attracting them unable to help themselves.

"Your Majesty will surely be able to achieve a truly prosperous era!"

Gu Xichao's handsome face was flushed at this time, and he shouted loudly without caring about his manners.

"It will work!"

The military generals immediately raised their arms and shouted, and the civil officials followed suit.

"It will work!"

The two words became louder and more resolute, as if suppressing everything.

Even Liu Jian, Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng followed suit and shouted a few times, looking excited.

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and waved, and the sound immediately stopped.

"This is not something I can do alone, but also you.

I will lead you to achieve the true prosperity. Tell me, do you have confidence?" Zhu Houzhao shouted expectantly and confidently.

"Have!"

····
Civil and military officials shouted in unison, as if they had lost their minds.

After a dozen breaths, the shouting gradually died down.

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao was in high spirits and very satisfied, "I will watch you, and you should also watch me.

Remember, no matter what difficulties lie ahead, they are nothing but paper tigers and will be easily defeated.

As long as we want to do it and dare to do it, we can definitely do it.

The Ming Dynasty will surely come to prosper. "

The court meeting of that day ended with Zhu Houzhao's sonorous and powerful voice, which seemed to have a magical power that made people believe it.

The high and excited emotions of the civil and military officials were far from being calmed down.

Everyone is full of fighting spirit and looks forward to that dreamlike prosperous era.

Even those officials who did not believe it at first and scoffed at it now felt a sense of insecurity and a vague expectation.

Is it really impossible?
Your Majesty has created so many miracles, and one of them is the greatest miracle. Isn't it really impossible?
Believe in yourself? Or believe in His Majesty?
In the hearts of many people, they unconsciously lean towards that tall and majestic figure.

The old officials, on the other hand, were able to calm down more quickly.

After the court was adjourned, the ministers gathered in twos and threes to discuss the matter enthusiastically, full of vigor and vitality.

The three elders of the cabinet exchanged glances and all blushed.

At such an old age, they still cheer like young people, which is really contrary to their usual image.

But seeing that we were all like this, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. We just smiled in relief and understood each other.

I really couldn't control it.

Returning to the cabinet, Ma Wensheng could not help but stroke his beard and sighed, "I never thought that at my age, I could still assist such a holy monarch.

It’s just a pity that I was born a few decades earlier and couldn’t help the Holy King establish a truly prosperous era.”

Among the three elders in the current cabinet, Ma Wensheng is the oldest, at the age of eighty.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will retire and return home in a year at most.

“If such a prosperous era can really come, even if we can’t see it, being able to contribute to it will make our life worthwhile.” Liu Jian said in a firm tone.

He is not young either, he is over seventy years old.

He thought he couldn't hold on for a few more years.

"Yes." Ma Wensheng nodded, looked at Xie Qian, the youngest of the three, and said with some envy: "Yu Qiao, I will have to rely on you more in the future."

"Mr. Ma, you're too polite." Xie Qian, who was in his fifties but not yet sixty, said calmly.

“Although the prosperous times your majesty talked about sound unreal, your majesty yourself is a miracle, so it may not be impossible.

Now we have to face the first hurdle. It depends on whether Your Majesty can break through to the realm of heaven and man next year.

If this is possible, the power of the Ming Dynasty will be further enhanced, and all civil and military officials in the court will be united.

By then, with everyone working together, the Ming Dynasty will be able to unleash unprecedented strength.

It’s just…” Liu Jian said solemnly with a serious expression.

The last sentence brought a hint of worry to my mind.

Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng understood what he said.

But if Your Majesty fails to break through to the realm of heaven and man next year, then there will be some problems.

Your Majesty's prestige will inevitably be damaged.

I'm afraid that today's inspiring fighting spirit will also fade away.

"Haha." Ma Wensheng suddenly smiled and said, "Xixian, Your Majesty, when have you never done what you said?

Since he dares to say it, he can definitely do it.

We need to give His Majesty more confidence and do our own work better.”

"That's right, Mr. Ma." Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said seriously, "Let us guard this last leg of the journey."

····
The true words of prosperity naturally spread quickly throughout the capital and swept across the entire Ming Dynasty as all the civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in the court were almost in an uproar.

Most officials felt it was unrealistic, but a small number felt excited.

But no matter what, it shows support.

Among other classes, there are even more people who don't believe.

But again, nothing much was said.

This is the power of the Ming Dynasty court and Emperor Shengwu of the Ming Dynasty today.

It was also the Ming Dynasty where righteousness was the mainstream.

Ming Dynasty border.

Wang Shouren, who was stepping up the training of border troops, still had not returned to Beijing.

Carefully savoring every word His Majesty said, the smile on the corners of my mouth became more and more intense, and there seemed to be a bright sparkle in my eyes.

He knew that he had missed a wonderful court meeting.

"The real prosperous age, this is what a prosperous age is!

Your Majesty, I will help you do this even at my own risk."

The murmur was faint, yet extremely firm.

Faintly, it seemed that some changes had taken place in this world.

The power that affects the heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger, as if there is no limit.

Wu-Tang.

Zhang Sanfeng also reminisced about that truly prosperous era.

After a while, she smiled.

"That sounds really good."

The temple hundreds of miles away from Shaolin.

There was a look of expectation in Wuji's eyes.
