The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 293: Enlightenment and Righteousness in Longchang
After making the decision, Zhu Houzhao no longer hesitated and took action immediately.

Emperor Wu led his dragon cavalry back to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry moved, Temujin, who was more than 200 miles away, soon knew about it.

After a moment's silence, Temujin said in a serious tone: "It seems that Zhu Houzhao is going back. If nothing unexpected happens, he will continue to keep an eye on this Khan at the border of the Ming Dynasty.

Over the past month, Ben Khan has been trying to provoke his anger, but he still managed to hold back and decided to return home so decisively."

"Now that Zhu Houzhao has returned, should we take the opportunity to send strong men to attack the Sui Kingdom?" said the Eighth Master Ba.

"No." Temujin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It will take time for Kublai Khan to finish off the Turks. Sending strong men to the Sui Kingdom now, even if they kill Yang Guang, will not have much effect.

Maybe without Yang Guang, the aristocratic families of the Sui Dynasty would be more united.

What’s more, we have to worry about Zhu Houzhao sending strong men to assassinate Kublai Khan.

So we have to follow Zhu Houzhao, put pressure on him, and not dare to send out strong men. "

The Xiao brothers and the Eighth Master nodded, feeling that it made sense.

At the command, the Thirteen Wings followed the Emperor Wu’s Dragon Riders.

The Oirat and Tatar tribes also began to migrate southward.

The speed of both sides was not fast. The Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry could travel over 200 miles a day, and the Thirteen Wings were about the same.

The two tribes of Oirat and Tatar were much slower. A few dozen miles a day was considered very fast, but the logistics of the Thirteen Wings would not be a problem in the short term.

In fact, if we send two powerful celestial beings to massacre the people of the two tribes of Wala and Tatar at this time, it can have a significant effect.

But neither Zhang Sanfeng nor Wuji are the kind of people who would commit massacres, even if the other party is a foreigner or an enemy.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't force them.

He and Duke Zheng didn't care, but how could a man who wanted to accomplish great things be merciful to his enemies?

But if he wants to lead the Emperor Wu Dragon Cavalry, the three of them will not let him take risks.

If Duke Zheng were to go alone, with the help of a celestial being, not to mention the safety issue, the question is how much damage could Duke Zheng do alone?
There are millions of herdsmen spread across the vast grasslands.

If the situation gets really serious, Temujin might even take action himself, and the four celestial beings would surround and kill him, and the security problem would become serious.

As for arranging two celestial beings to pick us up, that is not possible either.

What if Temujin ordered the three powerful celestial beings to attack Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry?

Zhu Houzhao was confident that he could stop two celestial beings, but not three.

I still say that this is not a real life-and-death battle, where you don’t have to risk your life or death.

Their main goal now is to delay the other party.

So for the two most powerful empires in the world, taking risks is always an option when they have no other choice, and it is not worth it at this moment.

Stability is the first factor.

All decisions made by both sides, including these days, have been based on stability.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao only thought about this idea for a moment and immediately gave it up.

He wouldn't gamble with the old man's life.

The journey was peaceful, and five days later, Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry returned to the border of the Ming Dynasty.

The Thirteen Wings were stationed four hundred miles away and would not move any closer.

After returning to the Ming Dynasty, even though this was the border, Zhu Houzhao felt a sense of genuine joy and relief.

Go home.

But he still felt unwilling.

Standing on the top of the city wall, looking in the direction where the Thirteenth Wing was stationed, he gritted his teeth.

After a while, I began to concentrate on the situation in the Ming Dynasty over the past month.

A few days after Zhu Houzhao led Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry back to the Ming border, the corresponding news spread throughout the world.

All wise people in the world know that, if nothing unexpected happens, the confrontation and entanglement between Zhu Houzhao and Temujin will continue until the victory or defeat of the Sui Dynasty is decided, or there is a big commotion somewhere else.

When troubled times came, the core of the warring states became quiet and stalemate, which actually made many people feel relieved.

They hoped that the two sides would remain entangled like this forever, with no winner ever decided.

In addition to these, many other controversies have arisen.

It was because Temujin had the Thirteen Wings in his hands that Zhu Houzhao did not dare to confront him head-on.

This fully demonstrates that Temujin is the most powerful.

Zhu Houzhao’s title of number one in the world is not worthy of its title.

There are many such voices in every country, and it seems that there are hidden forces pushing these voices forward.

There is no shortage of them even within the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, such voices within the Ming Dynasty only dared to appear and spread in secret.

Zhu Houzhao ignored all this, and gradually, his attention was mostly occupied by the internal reforms of the Ming Dynasty.

By this time in May, reforms in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were still in their early stages, but many problems had already occurred.

The biggest problem was that many bandits and robbers dared to attack officials.

Obviously, it was the Ming court's policy of annihilating them all, coupled with someone behind the scenes directing them, that made them so bold.

The imperial court has certainly not relaxed its efforts to wipe them out, but it still takes time.

In addition, there have been many cases of non-cooperation in various places.

People die for money and birds die for food. No matter how powerful the imperial court is, when their own interests are affected, there are still many people who resist.

They didn't dare to resist openly, so they came up with all kinds of ways to resist secretly.

One soft rejection after another caused officials from all over the Ming Dynasty to suffer a lot.

For example, bribing officials, collusion with each other, secretly hiding people, not having account books, and so on, there are too many to count.

Zhu Houzhao felt angry and troubled just by looking at these reports.

After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao found that the only thing he could do was to give the court officials stronger confidence, courage, and support, and let them fight against these people.

Gradually, as officials gain experience, sooner or later, these local landlords and gentry, including the martial arts forces, will be completely defeated by the imperial court.

However, the time it takes to actually complete the reform may be longer than he imagined.

Zhu Houzhao realized this.

After frowning, he immediately felt relieved.

It is also equivalent to training officials for future reforms in other places.

During the more than ten days after returning to the border of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao paid attention to the internal reforms of the Ming Dynasty while paying attention to the situations in various countries in the world.

With Zhu Houzhao's return, the situation within the Ming Dynasty became visibly more stable.

The situation in various countries has not changed much.

The most critical situation at the moment is that the Jin Kingdom is rushing straight towards Bianliang, the capital of the Song Kingdom, and is getting closer and closer.

This made Zhu Houzhao curse Zhao Ji as a waste countless times.

But for the time being, he could only watch and continue to transfer troops and supplies to Shaanxi.

May 25th, the fifteenth day after Zhu Houzhao returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Guizhou, Longchang.

"Hahaha, that's it."

A hearty laugh rang out from an ordinary bamboo house.

Immediately, the world within a radius of more than twenty miles changed.

"Boom~!"

There seemed to be a thunder explosion in the sky, waking up all things.

The next moment, the power of heaven and earth within a radius of more than 20 miles began to boil.

The wind rises and the clouds roll.

They became like substance, constantly converging towards the center.

Not long after, the power of heaven and earth disappeared, and was replaced by an overwhelming spiritual force.

This mental power took on color, red.

It is majestic, like the coming of the sun, scorching, upright, and iron-blooded, as if it can wipe out all the evil spirits in the world.

It first turned into a crimson pillar that reached the sky, and then spread out, coloring the heaven and earth.

The sky within a radius of dozens of miles was covered by it.

It is like a ball of sun flame descending upon the world, ready to burn away all the evil spirits and monsters in this world.

Countless people saw this shocking sight.

When some people who harbored evil in their hearts saw this, their bodies weakened and they were filled with awe, as if they were about to be burned by the red color.

When the others saw this, they all felt a surge of courage and righteousness in their hearts.

“This—” In a forest, an old man stared blankly, his eyes full of disbelief, his hands trembling: “Haoran, righteousness!”

at the same time.

As the place where Wang Shouren, the Grand Commander of the Ming Dynasty and the number one person of the dynasty, retreated, this small place, Longchang, has long attracted countless eyes from all over the world.

Even though the factory guards had purged the troops over and over again, there were still many spies hiding.

This earth-shattering vision was of course seen by them.

As they were specially taught and reminded to monitor Wang Shouren, the same thought almost came to their minds at the same time.

Wang Shouren has broken through to the realm of heaven and man!
When this thought came to their mind, they did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately sent the message regardless of the consequences.

'Wang Shouren seems to have broken through to the realm of heaven and man!'

Although the factory guards caught a lot of clues because of these people's movements, and most of them were caught, some of them were still leaked.

Putting aside the news that had spread out, more and more people in Guizhou came to the outside of Longchang to watch the ongoing strange phenomena.

The vision lasted for two full days and was seen by countless people.

The speculation that Wang Shouren had broken through to the realm of heaven and man has shocked all those who saw and heard it, and is still spreading to various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

'May 25th, the fifth year of the Shengwu reign of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shouren, the Grand Commander of the Military Pavilion, gained enlightenment in Longchang, showing a righteous spirit that seemed to be legendary, and seemed to have broken through to the realm of heaven and man.'

Wherever this news spread within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the mountains and rivers shook.

All eyes turned to Guizhou.

Although Wang Shouren had been in seclusion in Longchang for more than two months, some people had already said that he was trying to reach the realm of heaven and man.

But when this moment really came, countless people were still shocked.

Shocked by Wang Shouren's breakthrough.

Wang Shouren was shocked by his breakthrough at this time.

Could it be that the horrified Ming Dynasty is really the destiny of the world?
As for the two words "suspected", they were ignored by many people.

So many people saw it, including some knowledgeable people, how could they easily admit their mistakes?

Coupled with the continuous miracles that have occurred in the Ming Dynasty court in recent years, it was easy for them to believe it.

Zhu Houzhao also believed it. He believed it as soon as he received the first report. He laughed out loud immediately, and all the unhappiness he had felt during this period of time disappeared.

Less than half a day later, Wang Shouren, who had just come out of seclusion, came to him in person and confirmed it completely.

"Hahahaha~!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, hugged Wang Shouren tightly twice.
