The moon was bright and the stars were few. The crows and magpies flew south.
News of the battle in the Forbidden City had long spread like wildfire!
"On the night of the full moon, on the summit of the forbidden city, a sword came from the west, and an immortal flew out of the sky!”
White Cloud City Lord Ye Gucheng challenged Ximen Chuixue to a duel at the summit of the Forbidden City!
The great river was surging and the Yellow River was surging, but it was not as shocking as this news.
September 15th!
The night of the full moon!
The top of the Forbidden City!
Two peerless swordsmen who regarded the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty as dust and fought a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City. Just thinking about it was enough to make the chivalrous heroes of the martial world excited!
Emperor Jiajing also heard the news and was so angry that he spat out blood.
These people who looked down on the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty and the majesty of the emperor were simply unforgivable. However, their martial arts were extremely high and their traces were hard to find!
Even if the Six Fan School and the secret agents of the imperial court worked together, they could not find Ye Gucheng!
The only thing he could do was to wait for September 15th, the night of the full moon!
In Prince Yu's residence, a nine-year-old youth was dressed in a silk robe with a python belt around his waist. On the python belt hung a high-grade Hetian jade pendant, on which a five-clawed golden dragon was carved.
The young man looked up at the bright moonlight and sighed.""I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I've already traveled through the Great Ming World for two years, and I actually managed to catch up with Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue's final battle at the top of the Forbidden City…"
This year was the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing. The young man's name was Zhu Zaihou. He was the third son of Emperor Jiajing and was conferred the title of King Yu.
The handsome young man stood in the Prince Yu's residence, dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, his face as beautiful as jade.
Zhu Zaihou was quite worried about Ye Gucheng's arrival. Emperor Jiajing was protected by the imperial guards and the masters of Six Fan School, so there was no need to worry about his safety.
However, there were only twenty to thirty servants and seven to eight guards in Prince Yu's Mansion. Even an ordinary second-rate master could kidnap Zhu Zaihou without a peerless master like Ye Gucheng…
In the past two years, Zhu Zaihou had been racking his brains.
It was not only because Emperor Jiajing favored King Jing and ignored King Yu, but also because Zhu Zaihou realized that there were chivalrous men like Ye Gucheng who ignored the imperial power in this world. If they hated Emperor Jiajing and implicated him, then everything would be over.
Today was the 15th of August, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There was still one month left until the fifteenth of September, the summit of the Forbidden City.
Emperor Jiajing invited the Imperial Concubine and Prince to a banquet in the Forbidden City, but he left Prince Yu in the residence of Prince Yu. He did not care about him and was extremely cold.
Zhu Zaihou was unwilling.
He wanted to change his fate. His fate must not be held in the hands of others!
Prince Yu's Mansion was only separated from the Forbidden City by a wall. The sound of drums in the Forbidden City was lively and prosperous, as if it was the golden age of Emperor Jiajing.
Compared to the bustling Forbidden City, Prince Yu's Mansion appeared cold and desolate…
No one even asked.
Who would still remember that there was still Prince Yu outside the Forbidden City?
At this moment, the butler of Prince Yu's residence entered the courtyard, followed by Gao Gong.
Although Prince Yu was not valued, his education did not fall behind. Gao Gong was Zhu Zaihou's lecturer. At this time, Prince Yu was in dire straits, but Gao Gong had always respected Zhu Zaihou. He did not despise Prince Yu just because Emperor Jiajing did not value him.
Gao Gong was tall and his face was as red as a jujube. He was resolute and straightforward.
"Teacher, why aren't you spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with your family today?”
Zhu Zaihou looked at Gao Gong and said.
"Haha, my family guards me every day, but they don't want to be far away? " I don't miss you much during the Mid-Autumn Festival…" After Gao Gong said this, he picked up a wooden food box and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.
" Your Highness, I brought you some mooncakes. There are Suzhou mooncakes, Jing mooncakes, and Western Region mooncakes…"
Gao Gong took out all kinds of mooncakes from the lunchbox and placed them on the stone table.
"Your Highness has always liked to eat sweet mooncakes, so this official has prepared some.”
Zhu Zaihou looked at all kinds of mooncakes, and his heart was filled with warmth. He had been in the Ming Empire for two years, and only Gao Gong treated him sincerely.
The others were mostly people who fawned over those in power.
"Your Highness, do you have any good wine in the residence? On the day of the festival, I would like to ask for a few cups of good wine to relieve my loneliness.”
"How can there be less wine when a good friend is here?" Zhu Zaihou laughed.”
"Bring a few jars of good Nu 'er Hong for Teacher!”
The butler of Prince Yu's manor immediately brought the servants to the wine cellar to get some good wine. The chef of Prince Yu's manor also started cooking and cooked a few delicious dishes to go with the wine.
August 15th, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zhu Zaihou and Gao Gong talked about ancient and modern times in the residence of King Yu, indulging in their own desires.
Zhu Zaihou didn't drink, but Gao Gong did. Under the influence of alcohol, he would sing loudly to express his ambition.
Gao Gong was not a high-ranking official. He had been an editor of the Imperial Academy for nine years and was promoted to the Imperial Academy.
The editor of the Imperial Academy was a seventh-grade official, and the Imperial Academy Attendant was a sixth-grade official. He had endured nine years of ups and downs in the sea, but he had only risen from seventh-grade to sixth-grade.
However, the Imperial Academy did not have any real power. Their power and influence were far inferior to the county magistrates of the various provinces. They were all seventh-grade officials, but the county magistrate was the father and mother of the county.
Although Gao Gong was depressed and frustrated in his career, he was never pessimistic or discouraged. He also never lamented or blamed himself. Gao Gong often told Zhu Zaihou not to let the clouds cover his eyes.
No matter what, don't be depressed!
Because complaining and being depressed won't change your situation!
……
In Prince Yu's residence, Gao Gong accompanied Zhu Zaihou to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. A stone table, two wooden chairs, a wine cup, and six plates of mooncakes. It was like meeting a confidant in life. What more could a husband ask for?
Gao Gong had never treated Zhu Zaihou as a student, but as a confidant and good friend.
Zhu Zaihou had always respected Gao Gong, not only because Gao Gong was good to him, but also because Gao Gong was wise and unafraid of dignitaries.
Late at night.
The servants of Prince Yu's residence cleared away the bowls, chopsticks, and leftover mooncakes.
Zhu Zaihou returned to his dormitory to rest. After he fell asleep, a soft notification sounded in his ear.
The selection system will automatically activate. Please make your choice.
Choose Jun Lin Tian Xia. Reward: Cao Zhengchun's faction, Iron-guts Divine Marquis Zhu Budian, and all factions of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
Choose a side that is more peaceful and obtain a treasure basin. You will receive 1,000 taels of silver every day and the eight beauties of the world.
Host, please choose one.
Zhu Zaihou had already fallen asleep in a daze. When he heard the soft reminder, he subconsciously said,"Of course, it's to rule the world, wake up to control the world, and lie drunk on the knees of a beauty!”
Ding-dong. The host has chosen to rule over the world. The butler of Prince Yu's Estate will be replaced with Cao Zhengchun, and all the servants of Prince Yu's Estate will be replaced with the number one factory guards in the world.
Ding-dong. The host has chosen to rule the world. The Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa's power has increased in the martial world. The world's number one Iron Gut Divine Marquis, Zhu Budian, has appeared in the martial world. He has been ordered by Emperor Zheng De to protect the Ming Dynasty's royal family and belongs to King Yu's power.
Everything that happened just now was a subconscious action in Zhu Zaihou's sleep. Zhu Zaihou did not know it at this time because he chose to rule the world. The Ming Empire under the background of martial arts had added Cao Zhengchun and Tiedan Divine Marquis, two forces that belonged solely to Zhu Zaihou.
On one side was the Imperial Court.
One side in the martial world!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would have the capital to rule the world.
