In the middle of the Great Ming Dynasty, the former emperor died suddenly, and the young master ascended the throne. The year was called Zhengde!
The young lord was weak, and the Empress Dowager and four ministers were in charge of the government.
Before the late emperor passed away, he was afraid that Zhengde was too young to be manipulated by the treacherous, or that he was too weak to preside over the government and did not know how to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. He ordered his younger brother, Zhu Budian, to establish the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, which would have power over all the institutions of the imperial court. He was also given the two treasures, the Red Letter Iron Coupon and the Imperial Sword, which could be used to cut down the fatuous monarch and the slanderous officials, and to balance the East Chamber, the highest secret agency.
Ming Dynasty's capital, Forbidden City!
The young emperor was sleeping on the dragon throne in the Golden Palace Hall, and dozens of memorials were used as pillows.
The imperial guards guarded the Golden Palace without moving an inch. The Emperor could sleep wherever he wanted. Their duty was to protect the safety of the Emperor.
It had been two months since Zhu Houzhao had transmigrated to this Integrated Martial Arts World.
In the royal court, the powerful officials were scheming against each other, and there was a large group of old foxes.
Outside the royal court, there were all kinds of martial sects, and the situation was strange.
Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, and other sects were considered righteous sects.
The World Society, the Soliciting Moon Palace, the Spiritual Vulture Palace, and the Sun Moon Cult, these sects rarely followed the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
The various sects fought endlessly, and the undercurrents surged!
Other than these martial arts factions, there were also the First Emperor of Great Qin, Li Shimin of Great Tang, Zhao Kuangyin of Great Song, Genghis Khan of the grasslands, and many other factions.
Zhu Houzhao was a little worried.
It was a huge pressure to compete with these historical emperors!
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao had just transmigrated to this world and had the check-in system with him!
With the help of the system, Zhu Houzhao was confident that he could fight against the historical emperor!
Zhu Houzhao was thinking of competing with the historical emperor.
With a loud bang, a voice appeared in the minds of all the world emperors!
In a month, the Empire's Golden Roll will be opened. For the sake of the country's fate, please work hard to get on the roll!
Xianyang, Great Qin! Ying Zheng pulled out the Taia Sword in anger. The Great Qin Empire will definitely take the first place on the Imperial Golden Roll!
In Chang 'an of the Great Tang, Li Shiming was overjoyed when he heard the announcement of the Imperial Golden Roll. With the strength of the Great Tang, he was sure to be on the list!
The Grassland Empire…
Great Song Empire!
All the rulers of the empires heard the announcement of the Golden Roll and rubbed their fists for it!
Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he heard the golden roll!
I have the system with me, and I'm ranked first on the Empire's Golden Roll! The Ming Empire must be taken down!
……
On the Vermilion Bird Avenue in the capital!
"Attack!"
Three fast horses galloped, wearing flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives!
The Jinyiwei has been ordered to retreat!
The three Jinyiwei dismounted outside the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City and raised the waist token in their hands. The Imperial Guards guarding the gate let them in.
The commander of the Jinyiwei, Qing Long, led Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian into the palace.
After Qing Long and Shen Lian entered the palace, they went straight to the Jinluan Palace.
"Commander Azure Dragon, His Majesty is taking a nap.”
Outside the throne room, Azure Dragon and the others were stopped by Cao Zhengchun.
"Governor Cao, we have an important matter to report to His Majesty!”
"What happened? Tell me first."
When Shen Lian and Lu Jianxing saw Cao Zhengchun making things difficult for their superior, they were about to fly into a rage, but Green Dragon stopped them.
"Governor Cao, please pass this secret letter to His Majesty. We will wait here.”
After Azure Dragon took out a secret scroll, Cao Zhengchun took it and put it in his pocket. He then turned around and walked into the Golden Palace Hall.
When Cao Zhengchun entered the hall, Lu Jianxing gritted his teeth and said,"The eunuchs are in power, harming the country and the people!"
Azure Dragon turned his head and glared at Lu Jianxing."We shouldn't get involved in the matters above. We should do our part!”
……
In the throne room, Zhu Houzhao had just woken up and was checking his sign-in reward.
Except for the Great Ming East Factory!
Great Ming West Factory!
Except for the commanders of the Royal Guards in the five towns of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao had also signed a hundred thousand heavy armored cavalry.
The voices of Azure Dragon and Lu Jianxing sounded outside the throne room. Zhu Houzhao heard them clearly. Azure Dragon Commander was one of the commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the five towns, and he was in charge of the war.
Cao Zhengchun entered the Golden Palace. Zhu Houzhao slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Cao Zhengchun.
"Eunuch Cao, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the country is prosperous and the people are safe.”
Cao Zhengchun said unhurriedly. He had served three emperors and naturally knew what the emperor liked to hear the most.
What the Emperor liked to hear the most was naturally the words 'the country is prosperous and the people are in peace.'
However, Cao Zhengchun had miscalculated this time.
"Eunuch Cao, are you trying to deceive me? Who is outside the throne room?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Commander of the Brocade Guard, Qing Long, is waiting outside the hall. This old servant saw that Your Majesty was sleeping soundly just now and could not bear to wake Your Majesty.”
Cao Zhengchun's eyes darted around, looking as if he was completely loyal to the Emperor.
"Xuan Qinglong!"
"Xuan Qinglong!"
"Let Yu Huatian enter the palace to serve you.”
Hiss…
Cao Zhengchun gasped.
He was the Emperor's trusted official, the eunuch with the seal, and the supervisor of the East Chamber.
Yu Huatian was only the supervisor of the West Hall…
His Majesty wants Yu Huatian to serve in the palace?
Cao Zhengchun raised his head and looked at the Emperor. He felt as if he was being pricked. Was he going to lose the Emperor's favor?
Thinking of this, he quickly took out the memorial in his hand."Your Majesty, this is the memorial submitted by the Azure Dragon Commander…"
"Take it."
Zhu Houzhao said casually. The imperial guard beside him immediately stepped forward and took the memorial from Cao Zhengchun's hands…
Although the Emperor never reprimanded Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zhengchun's heart was filled with endless fear. When he walked out of the Golden Palace, Azure Dragon, Lu Jianxing, and the others were waiting outside.
Cao Zhengchun tried his best to make himself look calm. When he walked to the front of Azure Dragon, Cao Zhengchun cupped his hands and said,"Commander Azure Dragon, I have already submitted the memorial to His Majesty. I hope that Commander Azure Dragon can put in a good word for me.”
Azure Dragon heard Cao Zhengchun's words and didn't understand what he meant. The three Embroidered Uniform Guards brushed past Cao Zhengchun!
In the Golden Palace Hall, Zhu Houzhao was reading the secret book that Azure Dragon had submitted.
The secret scroll unfolded:
Jinyiwei, Green Dragon, respect you!
Under the leadership of Xiong Ba's three disciples, Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng, the World Association followed Xiong Ba's decree of those who obeyed him would prosper and those who resisted him would perish. They began to encroach on the martial arts world. As Xiong Ba's three disciples conquered, the World Association's territory continued to expand. Currently, the martial arts world of the seven northern and sixty-three northern provinces of Ming Dynasty had already fallen into the hands of the World Association. Their governors, prefects, and county magistrates were all under the orders of the World Association...
The list of governors, prefects, and county magistrates is as follows…
Before he finished reading the secret letter, the commander of the five towns, the Green Dragon Commander, had already led Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian into the hall.
"I, Azure Dragon, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"I, Lu Jianxing, pay my respects to Your Majesty!”
"I, Shen Lian, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao flipped through the list of names on the secret book…
After Qing Long, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and the rest entered the hall, they had been waiting.
Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian were excited.
This was their first time seeing the emperor, so they were naturally excited. They secretly raised their heads and saw the emperor reading the secret book in the Golden Palace.
It had been two months since Tian Zi ascended the throne. He was only fifteen years old this year. He was a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.
The Azure Dragon had been kowtowing in the main hall. He was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the emperor's personal guard. He often saw the emperor.
At this moment, perhaps His Majesty still did not know about the expansion of the World Association. There was already a rebellion in the World Association. Xiong Ba had announced the decree of the World Association to the world several times and no longer put the Imperial Court in his eyes. Even the officials of the Imperial Court obeyed Xiong Ba.
Once the Tianxia Association expanded another province, the world would be in chaos and the people would be plunged into misery!
"Your Majesty!" Azure Dragon suddenly raised his head. The world will not be eliminated! The world will be in chaos!"
Zhu Houzhao's face turned ashen as he looked at the secret letter!
"Eating Big Ming's food and smashing the pot of the Son of Heaven! This bunch of ministers actually deceived their subordinates. Do they think I'm young and ignorant?”
