Zhu Houzhao looked at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, who were kneeling on one knee before him, and a look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. He said lightly,"Rise!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun thanked Zhu Houzhao at the same time and stood up.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and asked indifferently,""Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, what's your current cultivation level?”
" Your Majesty, your subordinate is currently at the early-stage of the martial grandmaster realm," Nie Feng replied respectfully when he heard Zhu Houzhao's question.
" Initial stage of the martial grandmaster realm." Bu Jingyun's expression remained unchanged as he spat out these words.
Hearing Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun's answer, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, feeling even more satisfied.
When the two of them appeared just now, it was probably because of the system. Their cultivation and strength automatically appeared in Zhu Houzhao's mind.
Zhu Houzhao asked to confirm this.
Moreover, from their words and actions, Zhu Houzhao could conclude that when Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun appeared in this world, their identities, experiences, memories, and so on must have been modified by the system.
The current Zhu Houzhao lived deep within the Imperial Palace, and his power was practically completely stripped away.
Outside the palace, there was Zhu Budian, and the East Chamber had Cao Zhengchun. Even the Brocade Guard had almost become a vassal of the East Chamber.
With Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, two loyal martial grandmasters as guards, Zhu Houzhao could at least rest assured about his own safety.
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao thought of something and asked Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun,"Oh right, have you guys mastered Moke Immeasurable?”
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun looked at each other and said at the same time,""Yes."
Zhu Houzhao continued to ask,"If you guys work together to use the Moke Infinite, how strong can you be?"”
"If Senior Brother Yun and I work together, we should be able to defeat a mid-stage martial grandmaster. We should also be able to fight a late-stage martial grandmaster.”
"Haha, good! "In the future, the two of you will follow by my side and protect my safety." Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed out loud when he heard this.
According to Zhu Houzhao's understanding, Great Ming's number one expert, Zhu Bujue, had the strength of a peak Great Grandmaster. Other than that, the strongest was only at the late stage of the Great Grandmaster.
Of course, if the martial world forces were included, Zhu Bujue might not be the number one expert.
At the very least, Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect was said to have surpassed the martial grandmaster realm!
Although Zhu Budian coveted the throne, he would never personally make a move against him.
As for the martial artists in Jianghu, it was even more impossible for them to come to the Imperial Palace to deal with him.
With Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun's protection, Zhu Houzhao basically didn't need to worry about his own safety.
"Yes, sir!"
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun naturally didn't know what Zhu Houzhao was thinking. When they heard Zhu Houzhao's words, they immediately responded respectfully and stood behind him.
"Emperor, the official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies requests an audience.”
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded from outside Yangxin Palace Hall. It was Eunuch Sun, Zhu Houzhao's head eunuch.
Zhu Houzhao's brows twitched slightly when he heard this. He said lightly,""Announce!"
"An audience with the official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies!"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's order, Eunuch Sun immediately shouted towards the outside.
After Eunuch Sun's voice fell, it traveled down layer by layer and finally reached the Honglu Temple's official.
Not long after, the official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies, accompanied by Eunuch Sun, bowed and entered Yangxin Hall.
"This lowly subject greets the Emperor!" Upon arriving at Yangxin Palace Hall, the official of Honglu Temple immediately bowed to Zhu Houzhao.
"Du Shaoqing, please rise." Zhu Houzhao said lightly.”
According to the memories of his predecessor, Zhu Houzhao knew that the official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies was called Du Kezong.
"Thank you, Emperor!" Du Ke Zong hurriedly thanked Zhu Houzhao and slowly stood up.
"Du Shaoqing, why have you come to see me?" Zhu Houzhao asked lightly.”
Du Ke Zong hurriedly replied," Your Majesty, I'm here because of the marriage proposal of the Yun Nation. Princess Li Xiu of the Yun Nation has already arrived at the Chamberlain of Dependencies and is waiting for Your Majesty to summon her." I have a painting of Princess Li Xiu.”
As he spoke, Du Ke Zong took out a scroll from his bosom. He bowed slightly and raised the scroll with both hands.
"Hand it over," Zhu Houzhao ordered indifferently when he saw this.
Zhu Houzhao was naturally aware that Princess Li Xiu of the Yun Nation had come to plan a marriage alliance with the Ming Dynasty's royal family. However, he did not know if a fake Princess Li Xiu would appear like in the movies.
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Eunuch Sun hurriedly walked to Du Ke Zong's side and took the scroll from Du Ke Zong's hands. Holding the scroll with both hands, he walked in front of Zhu Houzhao.
"Emperor, please take a look."
"Open it and put it on the table," Zhu Houzhao said lightly.”
"Yes." Eunuch Sun heard this and quickly agreed. Then, he placed the scroll on the table and slowly opened it.
As Eunuch Sun opened the scroll, the contents of the scroll appeared before Zhu Houzhao's eyes.
Just by looking at the painting, Princess Li Xiu could be considered a beauty.
However, before he knew whether the current Princess Li Xiu was real or fake, Zhu Houzhao naturally wouldn't have any other thoughts.
"Reporting to the emperor, Ironguts God-Marquis requests an audience.”
Just as Zhu Houzhao was thinking about this, a young eunuch hurriedly ran in and greeted Zhu Houzhao respectfully.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his brows twitched slightly. Zhu Budian had returned after leaving, so he must have heard about Princess Li Xiu's matter and rushed over.
As he thought, Zhu Houzhao said lightly,""Go invite Imperial Uncle in."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of something and said to Eunuch Sun,"Eunuch Sun, zhen has something for you to do.”
"Please instruct me, Your Majesty," Eunuch Sun respectfully said to Zhu Houzhao.
