The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 249 You Ask My Sui Kingdom for Help
Liao, Turkic, Northern Mang, Liyang...

Wait, countless eyes that were paying attention to the war with Goguryeo were forcibly shifted to the Ming Dynasty.

The influence of Zhu Houzhao's breakthrough to the realm of heaven and man is truly too great.

This is true both within the Ming Dynasty and throughout the world.

Because of who he is, because of his character, because of what he is doing, etc.

Internally.

There was no disguise in the fact that each of those policies was aimed at digging out the roots of all classes in the Ming Dynasty, eating their flesh, drinking their blood, and taking many lives.

foreign.

The words "unify the world" have been echoing in the ears of all the top leaders of all countries for several years.

From the time Zhu Houzhao first ascended the throne to the fourth year of Shengwu.

He mentioned it again and again openly and uprightly.

No one would doubt whether Zhu Houzhao was joking.

A person who has broken through to the realm of heaven and man at the age of sixteen, which is unprecedented and will probably be difficult to find in the future, has infinite possibilities.

Coupled with his identity as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the combination of the two can really make any country in the world feel creepy and feel a chill down their spine.

This is true even for countries that do not rely on the Ming Dynasty.

Regardless of what these countries think secretly, most of them have chosen to make friends with China in public.

Envoys from big and small countries began to go to the Ming Dynasty one after another.

In the capital of Ming Dynasty.

Although he had anticipated it, Zhu Houzhao was still somewhat surprised by the influence after breaking through to the realm of heaven and man.

First, in the imperial court.

Not to mention the very few bad ones, overall, the civil servants are more cohesive and motivated.

Government affairs are running more smoothly, and officials from all regions are working more diligently.

This can be seen from some small things.

The same is true among military generals and nobles.

Those noble military generals became much more proactive and were more strict in teaching their juniors when they returned home.

The reorganization of local garrisons also began to go more smoothly and at a faster pace.

Then the Jinyiwei came to report.

The major aristocratic families of the Sui Dynasty took the initiative to contact the Jinyiwei again, and their attitude became even lower.

The meaning is very clear, they want to negotiate further cooperation with the Ming Dynasty.

Even the Song clan in southern Lingnan of the Sui Dynasty, which had always been somewhat arrogant and sat back and watched the situation, sent out a high-ranking official, Song Lu.

Not only from the Sui Dynasty, many masters of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world have expressed their willingness to join the Jinyiwei or the Martial Arts Hall.

There are also many forces that are expressing friendly intentions towards the Martial Arts Hall and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Less than a month after breaking through to the realm of heaven and man, Zhu Houzhao discovered that everything seemed to be developing for the better.

The Ming Dynasty is now like an iron cavalry, speeding up its charge.

The power is becoming more prosperous and powerful.

These naturally made him happy. After asking for the opinions of his ministers, he also issued some orders to speed up some aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

The evening of August 21st.

Zhu Houzhao came to Jin Bingyun's palace, which was decorated like a bridal chamber.

Because of the addition of Jin Bingyun, three days per person would not be enough for eleven girls.

So Zhu Houzhao thought about it and decided to change it to one person for two days.

This way, he will have eight days of free time.

Come to think of it, it seems pretty good.

Naturally, the other women were dissatisfied with this decision.

However, Jin Bingyun was not a latecomer, she entered the palace at the same time as them.

With the union of several righteous women, no one openly opposed it.

A new month comes, and Jin Bingyun is naturally the last one.

Tonight is also their bridal chamber.

I went through another ceremony and had my hair cut.

"Ahem." Zhu Houzhao coughed twice, raised his head and said arrogantly: "I am broad-minded and will not argue with you. I have not thought much about consummating my marriage with you."

Jin Bingyun listened carefully, but she was not angry. Instead, she smiled.

The corners of her mouth are raised, and that arc is just like Chang'e descending to the mortal world, so beautiful.

Zhu Houzhao, who was watching secretly out of the corner of his eye, blinked. It looked so beautiful.

"Your Majesty, are you still blaming me for what I said that day?" Jin Bingyun said with a smile.

"How is that possible? I'm so magnanimous, why would I bother with a woman like you? I haven't taken it to heart for a long time." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said indifferently.

Looking at her husband who was pretending to be so, Jin Bingyun smiled again and said gently, "Well, this is what His Majesty said in person, Bingyun heard it."

Zhu Houzhao curled his lips, looking slightly depressed.

"Your Majesty." The next moment, Jin Bingyun suddenly came up and whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear: "Now, Bingyun is begging you, okay?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Now you are begging me, and I have heard it."

Jin Bingyun glared at Zhu Houzhao, feeling more amused than angry.

My husband is like a big child most of the time.

Naughty, needs to be coaxed.

"Okay, now that I've heard it, I will consummate my marriage with you, Bingyun. Come, I'll teach you how to consummate your marriage." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

Then he started to fight. Jin Bingyun was passive, her face blushing, but she still said: "Your Majesty, don't forget Pang Ban's demon seed."

"No big deal." Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.

Soon, with a cry of pain, Zhu Houzhao felt a spiritual power wrapped in strange true energy about to enter his body.

No obstruction, let it enter.

He stopped, and when he felt that this force was about to absorb his spirit, he ignored it and pressed forward with his true energy, crushing it directly.

I didn’t take it seriously and continued to consummate the marriage.

In the distant Helin, the deepest part of the Magician's Palace.

Pang Ban, who had been in seclusion for nearly a year and seemed to have recovered, suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the south.

Although he could no longer sense it because the distance was too far.

But he knew that his demon species had failed.

He was not disappointed, as he had expected this.

It was just a heart-wrenching feeling that made even he shed a tear.

Hatred, murderous intent, pain, distortion, regret, loss and other negative emotions all eventually turned into a tangible unwillingness.

“I won’t fail like this, I won’t fail like this.

Zhu, Hou, Zhao~! "

In the capital of Ming Dynasty, in the imperial palace.

Carefully letting the tired Jin Bingyun lie down to rest, Zhu Houzhao continued his daily practice.

Jin Bingyun felt the demon seed disappearing from his body, looked to the north again, and shook his head slightly.

From now on, we have no relationship anymore.

Finally, she looked deeply at her husband who was practicing. It was the first time in more than a year that she had looked at him so closely and carefully.

After a long time, she couldn't help laughing, and fell asleep under the powerful yet familiar will that seemed to change the world.

A night passed and Zhu Houzhao went about his daily business.

But there was one more thing, which was to start receiving envoys from some countries.

Envoys from some nearby countries have already arrived, all to congratulate Zhu Houzhao on his breakthrough to the realm of heaven and man.

After meeting a few of them, Zhu Houzhao became impatient.

They are all small countries, with few envoys and few gifts, so they come quickly.

Because there were so few gifts, he felt very bored.

Such a small gift, no sincerity at all.

Do you still want me to waste my time meeting you and listening to you talk a lot?
Although those words sounded more pleasant to him, they were all compliments to him.

But he would get impatient if he kept hearing the same truth over and over again.

He waved his hand and sent him to the Ministry of Rites to meet him.

Two days later, Zhu Houzhao frowned and asked, "Why haven't Zhao Ji's men come yet? Does he deserve a beating?"

It has to be said that among all the envoys from various countries, the ones he liked to see the most were those from Song.

Obedient, sensible, and gives many gifts.

"I'll go and ask right away." Wei Jinzhong replied, and a shadow eunuch quickly left.

Not long after, the shadow eunuch came back and said, "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei said that the Song Dynasty envoys had just set off four days ago. It seems that something delayed them. The specific situation is still under investigation."

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao nodded and said unhappily: "This Zhao Ji is so slow in giving gifts. I think he has become bolder.

Humph, if the gift doesn't satisfy me, I'll scare him."

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Sui Dynasty have arrived and request to see Your Majesty." At this time, Liu Jin sent someone to report.

"The Sui people are here." Zhu Houzhao became interested and asked, "How many gifts did the Sui people bring?"

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu said that the total value is about 300,000 taels of silver," said the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department.

"Is Yang Guang crazy? He actually gave me 300,000 taels of silver!" Zhu Houzhao was surprised. This gift of 300,000 taels of silver was not a small amount.

The most important thing is that they have been irreconcilable for a long time.

"Bring it here for me to see." Zhu Houzhao was really interested.

"Yes."

Not long after, the envoy of the Sui Kingdom arrived. After a respectful and dignified salute, he said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty heard that you had broken through to the realm of heaven and man, so he specially--"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Tell me, what is the real purpose of Yang Guang asking you to come here?" Zhu Houzhao interrupted impatiently.

The envoy remained calm and said respectfully, "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty did give me a letter and asked me to deliver it to His Majesty the Emperor Shengwu.

This letter was taken away by the eunuch who just searched."

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, and after a few breaths, a shadow eunuch placed a letter that had been carefully checked on the dragon table in front of Zhu Houzhao.

When he opened it, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked thoughtful.

"Okay, you can leave first." After a few breaths, Zhu Houzhao said to the Sui envoy.

"Yes."

After the Sui envoys left, Zhu Houzhao immediately asked the three elders of the cabinet, Guo Bujing, Gu Xichao and others to come.

Several people arrived and after reading the letter, they all looked solemn.

“Your Majesty, Yang Guang can no longer hold on and has to ask us for help to kill the Eighth Master Ba.

But Bashiba had been ambushed by the Ming Dynasty once. If he dared to attack this time, he must have made preparations and was not afraid of the Ming Dynasty. "Gu Xichao said cautiously first.

The others nodded silently in agreement.

No one would underestimate the wisdom of the Mongols and the Eighth Division.

This is not a war that the Eighth Division can leave after just one fight. It has been fought for so long. Wouldn’t they be worried that the Ming Dynasty would send out another strong surprise attack?
