The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 45 'Earth-shaking Event'

"Your Highness is truly amazing and unrivaled in the world." Duke Zheng praised sincerely.

Zhu Houzhao laughed even more happily and was about to run out: "I'll go tell my father."

"Your Highness, don't worry. His Majesty's morning court has not yet ended. It won't be too late to talk to him later.

I am really surprised that Your Highness has made such a breakthrough so quickly. Could you please let me take a look at your body?" Lord Zheng said gently.

The Grand Master.

The Ming Shen's martial body is perfected, and the martial arts soul is first formed.

Even he could no longer see through all the conditions inside His Highness' body from a distance.

But His Majesty's breakthrough process was so fast that the transformation was completed in just one night, which was simply unbelievable.

He was worried about any hidden dangers, so he had to check carefully before he could feel at ease.

"Look." Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand, the pride on his face almost reaching the sky.

Duke Zheng reached out and felt his pulse, then let go after a few breaths, still feeling confused.

There is no problem.

Your Highness's foundation, blood, and skills are much stronger than those of ordinary grand masters.

This is because of the thirteen Tai Chi postures.

Otherwise, there was nothing unusual.

Perhaps it's just that His Highness is gifted.

Duke Zheng could only give this explanation.

“Your Highness, if you want to keep your breakthrough hidden, you can’t change your daily habits.

It's time for you to have breakfast and go to the barracks.

What you say to His Majesty can be put off until tonight." Duke Zheng withdrew his hand and reminded with a smile.

"You are right. This prince is a man who can accomplish earth-shaking things. I will never be in a hurry." Zhu Houzhao thought about it, nodded, and agreed with him.

"Your Highness, in order to cover up the noise you made last night by absorbing the power of heaven and earth, it is better to announce to the public that it was Liu Jin who made the breakthrough.

Then the breakout failed.

This way, no one will doubt your breakthrough." Duke Zheng said again.

"Good idea, let's do it." Zhu Houzhao agreed immediately.

Afterwards, Zhu Houzhao happily finished his breakfast and went to the military camp.

Cao Zhengchun, Cao Youxiang, Wang Shouren and others were all unusually quiet today and did not ask anything.

All I know is that the commotion last night was caused by Liu Jin, who wanted to break through to the Grandmaster level, but failed and is now in seclusion recuperating.

Several people "believed" this.

Qianqing Palace.

After the morning court session, Zhu Youtang met with Duke Zheng.

"How are Lord Zheng and the Crown Prince?" Zhu Youtang asked anxiously.

Last night, there were unusual movements of the power of heaven and earth in the East Palace, so the news of the prince's breakthrough was naturally reported to him immediately.

If it weren't for hiding the news, he would have gone to the East Palace long ago.

After Lord Zheng finished describing Zhu Houzhao's situation, he smiled and said, "Your Highness is extremely gifted and he made the breakthrough in just one night.

In this way, it is much easier to hide the message.

Except for some people in the East Palace who are closest to His Highness, the only ones who could sense the movement last night were at the innate realm. This old servant has been keeping an eye on them all the time.

In addition, given Liu Jin's failure in breaking through, no one else would have thought that His Highness would succeed in breaking through in just one night.

Therefore, apart from a few people, no one would know that His Highness has broken through to the Grandmaster level."

"Okay, okay, Zhao'er really didn't let us down, okay.

Hahaha~!" Zhu Youtang became happier and happier as he listened, his face full of pride and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

His photos are indeed the best.

"Cough cough cough~!"

Suddenly, Zhu Youtang, who was smiling, coughed violently, and his face turned abnormally red.

"Your Majesty~!" A sigh flashed in Duke Zheng's eyes.

Zhu Youtang took the medicine brought by He Ding and drank it. After calming down his breathing, he dismissed He Ding and everyone else, leaving only himself and Duke Zheng. He chuckled and said in a carefree manner, "Oh, I have had poor health since I was young, but seeing Zhao'er is so outstanding, I am satisfied.

I am sure I can hold on for Zhao'er for a few more years, from now on, I'll leave everything to you, Lord Zheng."

"Your Majesty, your words are too kind." Duke Zheng bowed respectfully and sighed in his heart.

He knew that His Majesty was already aware of his own situation.

There was nothing he could do or say about it.

The two of them broached the topic in tacit understanding.

"Lord Zheng and Zhao'er have made a breakthrough. In your opinion, can we start?" Zhu Youtang said solemnly.

"That's enough." Duke Zheng said with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Is Zhao'er still too young? Should we wait another year? Waiting another year might give us more assurance." Zhu Youtang suddenly frowned and said with a little worry.

"Your Majesty, why not let Wang Shouren come and discuss the timing of sending troops." Zheng Gongdao.

"Okay, I'll let Wang Shouren come right away." Zhu Youtang nodded.

Not long after, Wang Shouren arrived. After listening to Zhu Youtang's words, he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, it is now mid-October, and the north is already freezing cold.

The time is too tight and there is not enough time to prepare for war. Even the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry should not send troops at this time.

The best time to send troops is September next year.

Before September, do everything possible to hide your tracks, transfer the Emperor Wu Dragon Riders to the border, and make arrangements for all the strong men.

The troops will be dispatched in September. With the speed and strength of Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, combined with the plan, victory or defeat will be decided within two or three months.

By then, the water in the northern grasslands will freeze into ice, and the Mongols will not be able to mobilize large-scale troops.

And with the elite troops of Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders, we can return slowly."

Zhu Youtang pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "Okay, we will officially send out the troops in September next year."

The expressions of Duke Zheng and Wang Shouren suddenly became more solemn.

"Lord Zheng, start preparing." Zhu Youtang said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Duke Zheng responded.

"Wang Shouren, you must participate in the whole process and don't let me and the prince down." Zhu Youtang looked at Wang Shouren and said with high hopes.

"I will never let Your Majesty or the Crown Prince down until my death," Wang Shouren said firmly.

"Okay, go ahead." Zhu Youtang waved his hand.

Duke Zheng and Wang Shouren both withdrew.

The two discussed it and then went about their business.

Zhu Youtang stayed alone for a while and issued several orders.

More than a dozen figures, including Wang Zhi, ran in all directions.

That night.

Zhu Houzhao came to the Qianqing Palace excitedly and showed off to his father.

Zhu Youtang listened happily and boasted again.

Zhu Houzhao was even more delighted and immediately asked about the "earth-shaking event".

"Zhao'er, next September your father will ask you to lead the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry to attack the north. Are you willing?" Zhu Youtang said seriously.

"Really! I am willing, of course I am willing." Zhu Houzhao showed an ecstatic smile, patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely sweep across the north and be invincible.

Dad, which one do you want me to wipe out? "

"Jin Kingdom." Zhu Youtang uttered two words.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Houzhao left the Qianqing Palace, exuding an air of excitement and anticipation.

The next day, after Wang Shouren arrived, Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to ask Wang Shouren on the way to the military camp.

His father asked him to ask Lao Wang about next year's military expedition.

Wang Shouren calmly and briefly explained the general plan, then said in a serious and earnest voice: "Your Highness, the core of this plan lies in you alone.

You have to be stronger and make Emperor Wu Dragon Rider stronger.

And you must not leak even a single word, otherwise it will be difficult to accomplish anything.'

"Hahaha, this prince is born to accomplish great things, old king, just watch." Zhu Houzhao laughed confidently.

After arriving at the military camp and starting training, Zhu Houzhao felt extremely refreshed today.

The army became increasingly integrated with that of Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

One's own martial arts spirit is rapidly strengthening.

Two days later.

Tai Chi Thirteen Postures Level 7109 (10000/)

The second level of Mingshen Martial Arts Code (10046/30000)

In the bedroom, Zhu Houzhao slowly finished his training, looked at his talent, and was delighted.

What the old man said is not quite right.

The cultivation of others is getting slower and slower, but this prince is obviously getting faster.

The second level of Tai Chi Thirteen Postures can now increase by about ten points a day.

The second level of the Mingshen Martial Canon increases by six or seven points every day.

He could vaguely feel that the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi was easier to practice because he had broken through to the Grandmaster level.

Ming Shenwu Dian seemed to be asked by his father to destroy the Jin Dynasty. He felt more energetic and excited. His martial arts spirit was strengthened, which led to a faster practice speed. Tai Chi Thirteen Forms was also one of the reasons.

After thinking about it for a moment, he didn't think about it any further.
