On the Situation of the Nine Provinces, Zhu Houzhao Bestowed the Cloud Vine
Great Tang, Taiji Palace.
Li Shiming and Yuan Tiangang had strange expressions on their faces. Yuan Tiangang had been trying to persuade Li Shiming that he would definitely enter the Great Tang after the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings.
But even now, not a single person from the Great Tang had made it onto the rankings.
"Imperial Preceptor, I always claimed that all the talents in the world would join my Great Tang, but today I realize that I've underestimated the people of the world.”
"The world is far bigger than I imagined. The Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings have really given me a surprise.”
Li Shi Min was worthy of being the ruler of the Great Tang. He was open-minded and far-sighted.
Soon, he started to reflect on the awkward situation of no one on the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings.
Yuan Tiangang's eyes flashed with admiration when he heard Li Shiming's words.
The reason why Yuan Tiangang was willing to become the Imperial Advisor of the Great Tang was that he believed that Li Shimin's talent and ability would definitely lead the Great Tang to become the strongest in the Nine States.
Whether it was Li Shimin accepting advice humbly or knowing how to use people well, Yuan Tiangang was very satisfied.
In Yuan Tiangang's opinion, although there were many factions in the world today, there were still many people in the world.
There were the Great Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang, the Great Ming Emperor Zhengde, the Northern Song and Southern Song emperors, and the barbarians outside the Central Plains.
Although the leaders of these forces had their own strong advantages, they also had extremely obvious shortcomings.
Although Qin Shi Huang was powerful, invincible in his army, and domineering in character, he was still a powerful man.
But…
At the same time, apart from these advantages, Great Qin also had a weakness.
Because of Great Qin's many years of militarism, the people within the country were extremely tired of war.
Plus…
Great Qin ruled the country with Legalism, and its laws were strict.
The slightest mistake would result in punishment.
Ying Zheng was overbearing and conceited, looking down on the world.
In his eyes, everyone in the world was mediocre and did nothing.
With such a powerful and domineering Emperor Shi, the various princes of Great Qin all had their own problems.
Eldest Young Master Fu Su was a generous and kind person, and he wanted to rely on the Confucian scholars to govern the country.
They wanted to change Great Qin's Legalism and change its harsh laws.
This attracted the enmity of many Legalists from Great Qin.
Even Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, was not satisfied.
Benevolent and pedantic, plus Fusu did not make the first emperor happy.
Even if Fu Su had the support of the Wang family and the Meng family, he did not have much of a chance of inheriting the throne.
Apart from that, among the sons of the First Emperor, the 18th son, Huhai, was the most favored.
But even Yuan Tiangang, who was far away in the Great Tang, knew about this prince.
Brutal, violent, and temperamental.
As long as one had a brain, they would not think that Huhai would succeed the First Emperor.
After all, Great Qin, which seemed incredibly powerful, had countless problems.
Apart from Great Qin.
Big Ming was a big problem.
Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao grew up in the deep palace, and outside there was the Iron Gut God Marquis Zhu Budian, who was eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey.
There was the Donglin Party that was maturing day by day.
As long as Zhu Houzhao couldn't get rid of Zhu Bujue and the gentry bureaucrat group, which was the Donglin Party, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't be able to unify the Nine Regions.
In Great Sui, the problem was with the gentry clans.
The Song Clan of Lingnan, the Lonely Clan, and so on…
There were also powerful martial arts sects. In the Great Sui Dynasty, it was like a country within a country.
Yang Guang had an unruly personality and was overbearing.
When they did things, they would often act willfully, regardless of the consequences.
This person was definitely not a Martial Monarch Realm expert.
The Northern Song and Southern Song Dynasties had no potential at all.
If not for the complicated situation in the nine provinces.
In addition to the endless stream of Han experts, these two imperial courts would have long been conquered by the barbarians.
It could be said that the Southern Song and Northern Song dynasties were a disgrace to the Han court.
Therefore, the Southern Song and Northern Song were not to be feared.
Counting carefully…
In the world, only the Great Tang had a peaceful government and great potential.
If one were to compare the Nine States with the most likely to unify the world, then the Great Tang had the greatest chance.
Yuan Tiangang was not the only one who thought this way.
Many people in the Nine Provinces thought the same.
But the Great Tang had not become stronger because of this.
It was because of another important reason.
That was the existence of countless experts and factions in the various Dynasties.
Great Qin had the help of the Yin-Yang School and Legalism School.
Da Ming also had the experts of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa and The World's First Villa.
The Northern Song and Southern Song also had their own experts.
In this world of high martial arts, the intimidation brought by a powerful and invincible master was unparalleled.
A Celestial Phenomenon Grandmaster could fight against ten thousand enemies alone.
The Shattered powerhouses and the powerhouses in Myth Realm above them were even more powerful to an extent that ordinary people could not imagine.
Just like that, the world strangely and peacefully calmed down.
……
Big Ming.
In the royal study.
Zhu Houzhao was beaming as he looked at Gu Santong and Cheng Feiyi.
"Hero Gu, I've heard of your reputation, but it's a pity that we haven't met.”
"Seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation!”
"My Great Ming has a chivalrous man like Great Xia Gu. It really belongs to my Great Ming's luck!”
"And Young Hero Cheng is the hope of our Great Ming Jiang Hu!”
When Zhu Houzhao said these words, he was extremely sincere.
Gu Santong was a Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmaster.
He was a hot shot who had made it to the Heavenly Dao Rankings.
The two of them were father and son.
As long as it was a mature superior, he would know how to rope in the two of them.
As for saying these words, it was even easier.
After all, Gu Santong was someone who had been in the martial world. Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, he did not get carried away.
He bowed slightly and cupped his fists. We are just ordinary people. We don't deserve such praise from His Majesty!”
Cheng Fei did not have Gu Santong's knowledge. When he heard the Great Ming Emperor praise him, he immediately smiled.
Zhu Houzhao naturally wouldn't count on such simple words to win over the two of them.
He immediately laid out his conditions.
"Hero Gu, as far as I know, there is a strange thing in this world called the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom!”
"Only three of these cardamom have entered the Nine Prefectures.”
"After I read through the information, I learned that the Divine Marquis had once saved a woman with a Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.”
Just as Zhu Houzhao said this, a huge change occurred in the royal study.
Gu Santong's aura of a Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmaster burst forth, his face filled with excitement.
"Your Majesty, is what you said true?”
Gu Santong stared at Zhu Houzhao, afraid that Zhu Houzhao was lying to him.
Cao Zhengchun's expression changed drastically when Gu Santong released his aura.
Immediately, he stared at Gu Santong from the side, as if he could attack at any time.
At the same time.
Inside and outside the royal study, there were also auras emerging.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the royal study became extremely somber.
Zhu Houzhao was suppressed by the aura of a Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmaster, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
His face was still indifferent.
Facing Gu Santong's questioning, he nodded lightly.
"Phew!"
Gu Santong suddenly withdrew his aura and barely regained his calm.
"From today onwards, I, Gu Santong, will be working for Your Majesty.”
As Gu Santong said this, the atmosphere in the royal study became calm again.
Cao Zhengchun, who was originally on guard, also withdrew his aura and was no longer prepared to attack at any time.
The mysterious person who had suddenly appeared outside the royal study also withdrew his aura.
Although Zhu Houzhao was prepared for Gu Santong's reaction, he still looked pleasantly surprised when he heard Gu Santong agree.
No one said anything about the aftermath of what had just happened.
Because everyone present was smart.
Gu Santong needed Zhu Houzhao's help to defeat Zhu Bujue, who had the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, and to find his heart.
Zhu Houzhao also needed the help of Gu Santong and Cheng Fei.
It can be said that unity is beneficial to both sides, and division is harmful to both sides.
"Good, good, good! With the help of the ancient hero, I will definitely be able to fulfill my wish!”
Zhu Houzhao didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew what he meant.
Within and outside the Ming court, there was only one person that Zhu Houzhao was so afraid of.
"Young hero Cheng, you are young and promising. You are the role model of the younger generation of our Ming Dynasty!”
"I have a younger sister named Princess Yun Luo. She is a national beauty, innocent, and cute.”
"If Hero Gu doesn't mind, I'm willing to…"
"I don't want to!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from outside.
Was there anyone else watching? I'll explode if I read it. I'm looking for data. I have a large number of manuscripts.
