The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 281 Sisters Confrontation
"Doesn't Xie Xiaofeng know that the imperial court will not kill anyone in the innate realm, but will abolish their skills and make them do hard labor?" Zhu Houzhao asked in confusion.

"He should know that Xie Xiaofeng's move is probably to ask the court to make Murong Qiudi as relaxed as possible." Guo Bujing said.

"That won't work. If you make a mistake, you must be punished. Moreover, Murong Qiudi has committed the crime of harming the people.

She was lucky to be spared from death and made to do hard labor, so how could we let her have it easy?

Besides, if I agree to Xie Xiaofeng, do I have to agree to other strong men next?
Shaolin and Wudang both have three Xiantian realm masters whose skills have been sealed and they have to do hard labor, so we cannot agree to this." Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation.

"Yes." Guo Bujing said without surprise.

After talking about some other things, Guo Bujing and Zhao Zheng left.

The Jinyiwei are extremely busy right now and there is no time to waste.

At the headquarters of the Jinyiwei in Beijing, after receiving a personal reply from Guo Bujing, the dignified and upright Xie Xiaofeng sighed softly, his expression a little gloomy, but not too disappointed.

"Hero Guo Ju, no matter what, as long as it's about slaying demons and eliminating scum, I, Xie, am always ready to be deployed by the court." Xie Xiaofeng clasped his fists and said solemnly.

"Okay, Third Young Master Gaoyi." Guo Bujing's attitude became a little gentler.

Although he did not join the court, these words were already very good.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Third Young Master, Jinyiwei has a guest position. I wonder if Third Young Master is willing to join?"

"Guest official?" Xie Xiaofeng asked in confusion. He had never heard that the Jinyiwei had the position of guest official.

Guo Bujing explained it in detail, and Xie Xiaofeng agreed without much hesitation.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard had its first guest official of the grandmaster level.

Zhao Zheng’s breakthrough was naturally a good thing for the Ming court at that time.

It increased the power of the imperial court and further suppressed the resistance of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world.

Before the Ming martial arts world could fully accept it, on the first day of February, another wave of breakthroughs to the grandmaster level occurred.

Zhu Houzhao took a look and saw that it was Lianxing.

"Hahaha, my good sister Lianxing did not disappoint me." Zhu Houzhao laughed.

At this moment, as if by telepathy, or as if stimulated by the desire to compete, another breakthrough to the Grandmaster level occurred.

It’s Yaoyue’s.

Zhu Houzhao was very happy and said, "Great!"

The two sisters broke through together, what a deep sisterly love!
The double happiness made Zhu Houzhao very happy, but he couldn't help but look towards the place where Luo Xian was in retreat with some worry.

Only Luo Xian is left.

On February 3rd, Yao Yue and Lian Xing came out of retreat one after another.

"Yue'er, Lianxing, you are really worthy of being my wife and sister. You didn't let me down. Very good." Zhu Houzhao came to invite Yue and said lovingly.

The arrogance between Yao Yue's eyebrows became even stronger. She glanced at Lian Xing calmly and said proudly, "I will never let your majesty down."

"As long as we don't let Your Majesty down." Lian Xing smiled gently.

"Lian Xing, you are now at the level of a grandmaster. Are you willing to serve as the master of a martial arts branch hall?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Lian Xing will naturally listen to Your Majesty." Lian Xing said without hesitation.

After a pause, he said reluctantly, "But Lianxing doesn't want to leave His Majesty and sister now."

Yao Yue was suddenly startled and looked towards Lian Xing with a flickering gaze that was filled with a strong sense of oppression.

"Don't you want to leave me? Or do you not want to leave His Majesty?"

Lian Xing seemed unaware and continued looking at Zhu Houzhao tenderly.

Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate and waved his hand, saying: "If you don't want to leave, then don't go. Just stay with me and your sister from now on."

"Hey, Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Yao Yue and asked puzzledly.

"Nothing." Yao Yue said calmly, "Your Majesty, Lian Xing is already at the level of a Grandmaster. It's time for her to serve the court. Let's let her be the head of a martial arts branch hall."

Lian Xing looked at her sister with gentle, somewhat childish eyes for the first time without any hesitation.

There was a fierce look in Yao Yue's eyes, and she would not back down.

"Yue'er, if Lianxing doesn't want to go, then don't go. Is that okay?
The court is not that short of people." Zhu Houzhao said carelessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lian Xing said with a sweet smile.

"You're welcome." Zhu Houzhao said friendly.

Yao Yue felt a little depressed, but she didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao asked Lianxing to leave first. He reached out and took Yaoyue's hand, and said seriously: "Yue'er, why do I feel that you are a little displeased with Lianxing just now?"

"Your Majesty, I don't. It's just that Lianxing has grown up and is a little dissatisfied with me as her older sister." Yaoyue felt a little uneasy in her heart and subconsciously didn't want to show this in front of her husband, so she explained.

"You, still want to hide it from me?" Zhu Houzhao reached out and pinched Yao Yueruyu's cheek affectionately.

Yao Yue felt a little embarrassed, turned her head away and said angrily: "Your Majesty~!"

"Yue'er, it's right to be competitive and not want to be inferior to others, but we have to compete fairly.

What's more, Lianxing is our sister, a member of our family, and she is so kind and lovely. No matter what, we can't dislike her.

Do you know?" Zhu Houzhao said seriously.

Yao Yue felt helpless but couldn't say it directly, so she just nodded.

"Okay, Yue'er, I believe you can correct yourself." Zhu Houzhao said with a trusting smile.

Afterwards, he picked up Yao Yue horizontally and ran to the inner room, saying expectantly: "Yue'er, you have broken through to the Grandmaster level. Let me see how much your strength has increased?" Yao Yue blushed slightly and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, it's still daytime now?"

"You have to watch it during the day, otherwise it will be your turn next month, Yue'er." Zhu Houzhao smiled as a matter of course.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yue remembered that there were so many concubines, and her mood suddenly became bad.

No longer worry about so many things, just cooperate.

More than an hour later, the sturdy couch was in a mess.

Zhu Houzhao hugged Yao Yue's delicate body and said happily: "Yue'er, you can finally make me happy for once."

Yao Yue also smiled happily.

After talking intimately for a while, Zhu Houzhao suddenly whispered, "Yue'er, don't tell others that I consummated my marriage with you during the day, otherwise the other concubines will definitely be unhappy."

"Your Majesty, why didn't you think about this just now? You only started to worry about the other concubines being unhappy afterwards." Yao Yue rolled her eyes at Zhu Houzhao and retorted.

"Hehe, didn't I just couldn't help it?" Zhu Houzhao laughed righteously.

Yao Yue had no choice but to roll her eyes again.

Zhu Hou took time into consideration and left soon after without staying for long.

Yaoyue lay down for a while, got up, took a shower, and found Lianxing.

“Lian Xing, what exactly do you want to do?” Yao Yue’s stunningly beautiful face was as cold as ice and extremely arrogant, with an oppressive force that made her seem like a god or demon.

It was completely different from how he looked in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Lian Xing looked directly at the sister she had feared for more than ten years, and said calmly and firmly: "I don't want to do anything. I just want to stay with His Majesty forever."

"Hmph." Yao Yue snorted coldly, but she was not surprised, because she had just noticed Lian Xing's thoughts.

He suppressed his anger, his eyes slightly dimmed, and said without question: "You must know that His Majesty is your brother-in-law, you can't have any thoughts about it."

"Why?" Lian Xing immediately became angry and responded.

"There's no reason. You just can't move." Yao Yue said forcefully.

"Your Majesty has other concubines, not just you, why can't I?" Lian Xing naturally refused to give in.

Yao Yue's eyes flashed with annoyance, she turned aside and said coldly: "Others are other people, but you, just can't do it."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have always listened to you, but this time, don't even think about making me listen to you. I will never leave your majesty." Lian Xing said firmly.

“You—” Yao Yue glared at him angrily. She didn’t expect Lian Xing to dare to resist her like this. Her voice became even colder: “Do you think that I can’t teach you a lesson just because you’ve broken through to the Grandmaster level?”

"If you want to take action, then go ahead. I will definitely resist." Lian Xing said without any fear.

Yao Yue paused, realizing that this was the imperial palace.

With Lian Xing's strength, even if she is confident of winning, it will definitely not be a short-term or small-scale victory.

But if the matter gets out of hand, she will be completely humiliated.

"Come out of the palace with me." Yao Yue scolded.

"No, I will never leave the palace unless Your Majesty tells me to." Lian Xing retorted.

Yao Yue was furious and glared at Lian Xing.

Lian Xing looked at him fearlessly.

The two sisters were in a stalemate for a while. Lian Xing left after saying "Anyway, I will not leave Your Majesty"

Yao Yue was so angry that she wanted to take action several times, but she still held back.

She couldn't bear it even more if the concubines made a fool of themselves.

I forced myself to calm down and think of a solution.

outside world.

The news that Yao Yue and Lian Xing simultaneously broke through to the Grandmaster level quickly spread.

Just like Zhao Zheng, at this critical moment, the effect is greatly increased.

It will make the Ming Dynasty court more powerful and make those in the Ming martial arts world who want to resist feel more suffocated.

This kind of suffocation took a step further after Luo Xian successfully broke through on the fifth day of February.

In just over ten days, four great masters emerged from the imperial court. Just talking about it is shocking.

One can even think that destiny is in the clear.

For a time, the morale of the imperial court was even stronger, while the morale of those in the Ming martial arts world who wanted to rebel became even weaker.

Many people have changed their attitudes.

There is really no hope of resistance.

As time went by, the court's comprehensive reforms became larger and more in-depth.

However, under the absolute power of the imperial court, the situation was generally stable and smooth.

Preparations for suppressing the bandits are also being carried out in an orderly manner.

In late February, the Embroidered Uniform Guard suddenly reported that the Mongols had made unusual moves.

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, both Horqin and Kublai Khan's Khanate have mobilized troops, and the scale is not small. It should be a big battle." Guo Bujing and Zhang Fengfu entered the palace to report.

"Humph, I knew they wouldn't behave." Zhu Houzhao said unhappily, and said without hesitation: "Tell the Turks and the Sui Dynasty immediately, don't let them be attacked by the Mongols."
