Chapter 18 The court meeting resumes and the civil and military officials are shocked!
The next day.
The court meeting started again.
Everything that happened yesterday was also known to all civil and military officials.
Even on the way into the palace they were still discussing yesterday's vision and the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders.
"The strange phenomenon yesterday was truly shocking. Is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty really heavenly?"
"We don't know whether it's heavenly or not, but that kind of vision is definitely not ordinary."
"With this strange phenomenon, no matter what, it's all God's blessing on the Ming Dynasty!"
"Yes, with this kind of phenomenon, the other nations would never dare to act so recklessly."
All the civil and military officials were talking about it.
However, the loyal and courageous Tiedan Shenhou did not have such thoughts.
His face was still somewhat gloomy, and his expression was cold and indifferent, as if to keep strangers away.
The news that Shangguan Haitang told after she came back yesterday.
This made Zhu Wusi's already uneasy mood even more anxious.
Three thousand great snow dragon riders.
The sky is full of strange phenomena.
This was enough to make Zhu Wusi extremely uneasy, and the appearance of Xu Yanbing turned this uneasiness into anxiety.
He didn't even know what to do, run away or kneel before Zhu Houzhao?
If you run away.
What should Su Xin do?
If you surrender.
Will Zhu Houzhao spare his life? Will the Ming dynasty's powerful figure let him go?
...
All night long.
Zhu Wusi was thinking about this problem.
However, when the court meeting was about to begin, he still went to the Forbidden City as planned.
Because Zhu Wusi knew he had no choice.
After Zhu Houzhao displayed such strength, no matter how strong Zhu Wushi was, he was no longer as proud of his energy-absorbing technique.
Neither the power cultivated for decades nor the extremely deep scheming are of any use anymore.
This is the rule of the martial arts world.
The strong are respected!
Even the four great Buddhist monks could not withstand a single move from Xu Yanbing.
How could Zhu Wusi dare to act rashly?
All he could do was gamble! He gambled that the Ming Dynasty's background had not told Zhu Houzhao the truth!
I bet Zhu Houzhao thought he was a loyal and devoted uncle!
Zhuge Zhengwo also noticed Zhu Wusi's abnormality, but he was also shocked by yesterday's news.
For a moment, he had no time to pay attention to Zhu Wushi's question.
"How much more has your majesty hidden?"
"It is impossible for the late emperor to leave so many backup plans!"
"Could it be that Your Majesty has reached an agreement with a certain country?"
Zhuge Zhengwo was the Grand Tutor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also ambitious and had the heart to support the country and bring peace to the people.
He would never allow any problems to occur in the Ming Dynasty.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where His Majesty got such strength!
...
Boom!
Boom!
The bell ringing for the start of the court meeting interrupted Zhuge Zhengwo's thoughts.
It also made all the civil and military officials quiet down.
They filed in according to their rank.
Just passed Chengtian Gate.
Civil and military officials noticed the changes in the palace; the previous imperial guards had long disappeared.
They all turned into eight-foot-tall giant snow dragon riders, wearing heavy cold iron armor and holding Northern Liang swords in their right hands.
This was also the first time they saw the Great Snow Dragon Riders.
Just a glance.
They can clearly feel the difference between the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Imperial Guards.
Although the armor of the Imperial Guards is more dazzling than that of the Great Snow Dragon Riders, it lacks a hint of killing and warfare.
"Is this the Great Snow Dragon Rider?!"
Someone said in a low voice.
Only to be interrupted soon.
Because someone saw Xu Yanbing and Cao Zhengchun standing in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Compared to the three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders, for these civil and military officials.
What they were more curious about was Xu Yanbing, who was rumored to have defeated the four great Buddhist monks with one shot.
Even Zhuge Zheng looked at Xu Yanbing a few more times, and his expression instantly became serious: "Grandmaster of Astronomy!"
"And it's definitely not his first time entering the celestial phenomena. His aura is already close to that of the master!"
Zhuge Zhengwo's master is Wei Qingqingqing from the Zizai Sect, whose Zizai magical skills shocked the entire martial arts world.
Not a land immortal.
But he is already close to the peak of the Grand Master of Celestial Phenomena.
Xu Yanbing's aura could actually be compared with Wei Qingqingqing, which also made Zhuge Zhengwo horrified.
This is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, right?
But before Zhuge Zhengwo could think about it carefully, the court meeting was about to begin.
The civil and military officials did not think any more and they all quickened their pace.
They stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony waiting for His Majesty to arrive.
...
Da da da.
Accompanied by heavy footsteps.
Zhu Houzhao appeared in front of everyone wearing a dragon robe and a crown.
After just one night of not seeing each other, everyone could clearly feel that Zhu Houzhao's aura became more majestic.
If we say that yesterday his majesty was only similar to that of the late emperor.
Today, Zhu Houzhao's majesty far exceeds that of the previous emperor, and even brings a strong sense of oppression to everyone.
Is this what Zhu Houzhao really looked like?
Or?
No one dared to speculate too much.
In front of Zhu Houzhao's majesty, they could only salute with great respect: "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you!"
"No gift."
Zhu Houzhao sat upright, looking down at all the civil and military officials with indifferent eyes.
Although he intended to restrain his own aura, after breaking through the Sea of Bitterness, even if he tried his best to restrain it, the aura that naturally emanated from him after practicing the Heavenly Emperor Sutra also caused a sense of oppression to these civil and military officials.
This is the difference in the essence of life.
It was like a sheep seeing a wild beast in the forest.
However, Zhu Houzhao did not care too much about it. He had never tried to hide his thoughts. Since a hint of his true colors had been revealed yesterday, he might as well establish the image of a majestic emperor, which would also make it easier for him to take power calmly.
soon.
The court meeting then proceeded in an orderly manner.
Important ministers such as Grand Tutor Zhuge Zhengwo and Prime Minister Yang Heting all stood up to report on government affairs.
Zhu Houzhao was just like he did yesterday. Regarding all government affairs, he would first look at the opinions of Yang Heting and Zhuge Zhengwo before slowly nodding his head. This was also his way of being an emperor. Even though he had opened up the Sea of Bitterness and had 100,000 Snow Dragon Riders, he still knew nothing about government affairs. If this was the case, he should leave it to professionals.
For example, the Prime Minister Yang Heting!
Zhu Houzhao's move also made Yang Heting feel slightly relieved.
This Prime Minister didn't care about Zhu Houzhao's background; he only cared about his own power.
As long as Your Majesty does not rashly interfere in government affairs.
Give him enough support.
Then the stronger Your Majesty is, the better it will be for Yang Heting.
"Da Ming lacks money?"
Zhu Houzhao heard Yang Heting say that this year's budget might be overspent.
He frowned slightly, as he had heard in his previous life that the Ming Dynasty was short of money.
But the Ming Dynasty should not be short of money during this period, right?
"The Ming Dynasty is not short of money, but short of silver!" Yang Heting said in a deep voice.
Short of silver?
Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a while and then understood what was going on.
The Ming Dynasty never lacked money, but only lacked silver in circulation.
The Ming Dynasty implemented the silver-based system, which meant that as long as you had silver, you had money.
However, both the Ming Dynasty in history and the Ming Dynasty in comprehensive military history lacked the means to effectively mine silver.
All the silver mines in the Central Plains are buried deep underground.
Even if you have internal strength, true energy, and martial arts.
But even the master's internal energy is not infinite, and it is even more impossible to mine silver.
As the Ming Dynasty continued to mine silver, eventually all of it was hidden in cellars by high-ranking officials. There was simply not enough silver circulating in the market, which naturally led to a situation of money shortage.
In this regard.
Zhu Houzhao only thought about it a little bit and said, "Go on."
The institutional problems of the Ming Dynasty were not what he needed to solve now, and he did not have enough prestige to solve them.
This needs to be resolved slowly in the future.
Yang Heting paused for a moment and then moved on to the next topic.
This topic happens to be about the resettlement of Yan Fei and others.
Yan Fei and Huang Rong are the targets of marriage alliances among various countries, and they have already moved into the Qianqing Palace.
Then the Ming Dynasty should confer them titles of concubines no matter what.
Zhu Houzhao could also arrange for Concubine Yan and others to sleep with him.
Even though a shocking incident occurred in the palace yesterday, all countries will be more restrained in their actions.
But the necessary procedures still need to be followed, which is also a kind of appeasement to various countries.
"allow."
Zhu Houzhao said calmly.
He was also extremely curious about the reactions of Yan Fei, Huang Rong and others after they were canonized.
.....
Accompanied by the smooth passage of each government matter.
The court meeting also ended completely.
Civil and military officials slowly retreated.
Zhuge Zhengwo walked towards Zhu Wusi, wanting to ask if there was any information about the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders at the Huolong Villa.
only...
Before Zhuge Zhengwo could speak.
Then Cao Zhengchun came out hurriedly: "Please stay, Lord Shenhou. His Majesty invites you."
These words made Zhu Wushi's body freeze instantly.
Instantly, his expression returned to normal, he smiled at Zhuge Zhengwo, and left with Cao Zhengchun...
