Early in the morning, Zhu Houzhao was woken up.
She was about to fly into a rage, but when she saw Feng Qingxue's pretty face, she held it back.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, it's a quarter past midnight. It's time to prepare for court.”
Zhu Houzhao rubbed his eyes. When?
After comparing, he understood.
"4:15?"
Three to five o'clock was the time of the day, but the time was called differently. Before four o'clock, it was called the beginning of the day, three fifteen was called the beginning of the day, four o'clock was the time of the day, and after four forty was called the end of the day.
One hour and a quarter, but five, six, seven, eight, and a quarter were not mentioned.
(I don't know if the author is right. Baidu also has a bunch of 12-hour tables, but there is no exact number. It's annoying.)）
"So early?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The morning court session starts at the beginning of the morning.”
“艹。”
After cursing under his breath, Zhu Houzhao lifted the quilt and got down. Just as he was about to put on his clothes, the maid started to get busy again.
She was still a little uncomfortable last night, but now, she was fine.
Especially since these maids were all beautiful. The oldest was only eighteen years old. They were truly young and beautiful.
Although they weren't famous and weren't even considered extras, if there was a chance, they still had to get close.
They were all his loyal followers, and it was impossible for them to get married in the future. They could not possibly not try the new world one by one, right?
In any case, the more people there were, the better it was for his Yellow Emperor Scripture.
Moreover, he had also discovered that these six maidservants were actually Connate realm martial artists. He could not tell.
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the martial arts realm was divided into eight realms.
Postnatal Realm, Connate Realm, Grandmaster Realm, Great Grandmaster Realm, Celestial Realm, True Martial Realm, and the legendary Imminent Deity Realm and Myth Realm.
If it wasn't for the records of the Darming Empire, even Zhu Houzhao might not know about the last two realms.
In the pugilistic world, the Houtian Realm was a small fry, the Xiantian Realm was an expert, the Grandmaster Realm was an expert, and the Great Grandmaster Realm was a top-notch expert. They were the support that every force must have.
The Heaven Tier was a peerless powerhouse. Even in the entire Land of the Nine Prefectures, with a population of a few billion, it was still extremely rare.
Each one of them had considerable influence and was the pillar of the various large factions.
As for the True Martial realm, it was a drop in the ocean.
Ten years ago, the vast majority of martial artists did not even know that there was such a realm.
That year, on Mount Wudang at the border of Mengyuan and Great Ming, Immortal Zhang Sanfeng's hundred-year birthday was celebrated. Many martial artists from Mengyuan, Great Ming, Great Qin, and others went to congratulate him.
It was said that at that time, the martial arts practitioners of Mengyuan wanted to force Wudang to reveal the whereabouts of Golden Fur Lion King Xie Xun.
Who would have thought that before he could speak, a Yin-Yang Taiji pattern appeared in the sky above Wudang Mountain. It had a faint immortal aura and a magnificent aura that even Great Ming Imperial City could see.
It was also on that day that the major forces of the martial world learned of the existence of the True Martial realm. It gradually spread to all parts of the Nine Provinces and was known to the world.
True Martial realm warriors were rare. In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, other than Zhang Sanfeng, it was rare to hear of anyone else.
Although there were a few Heaven Tier elites, each of them was a figure with great influence in various places.
Therefore, most of the martial artists in the martial arts world were only at the Xiantian or Grandmaster Realm. It was very rare to see a Great Grandmaster.
The six palace maids were all at the Xiantian realm, and the oldest was no more than eighteen years old. It was already very good.
In the future, he would be able to nurture it by spending some resources.
She did not need to reach the martial grandmaster realm. The grandmaster realm was enough. After all, she was just an ordinary palace maid.
Dressing, washing up, breakfast, etc., really illustrated an idiom: clothes come to hand, food comes to mouth.
Was this the emperor? It was a freaking giant baby!
After finishing his breakfast, Zhu Houzhao walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Dragon Protector Clan, congratulations on your fortune. Greetings, Your Majesty!”
"Dragon Protector Clan, Twelve Zodiac, greets Your Majesty!”
Zhu Houzhao yawned.”
He was prepared for the Dragon Guardians when he saw Cao Renchao.
Fortunately, he had just ascended the throne and did not have an empress or concubines. Otherwise, he would have vomited to death.
He seriously suspected that the eunuchs had deliberately sent some ugly women to the palace to make Zheng De change his orientation.
"Your Majesty," Ling Linggong hurriedly said,"we should have been protecting you." However, your guard, Lu Xueqi, refused. Therefore, you can only wait outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.”
"It's too tiring to wait like this. Do you have a palace to rest in?”
"A little."
"That's good. Yourong, make the arrangements.”
As for the harem, it was impossible for the Dragon Guardians to follow, unless it was a few women.
But now that Zhu Houzhao had four guards, there was no need to use them.
After all, among the sixteen people, the strongest, Gong Xicai, had only reached the early-stage martial grandmaster realm. The others were all at the grandmaster realm.
As for the zero-zero shots, hehehe!
However, this was the responsibility passed down from their ancestors. If they were not used, wouldn't they be forced to death?
A group of dozens of people arrived at the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, with the Imperial Eunuch Liu Jin and the Imperial Eunuch Wei Zhongxian standing on both sides.
The Dragon Guardians did not come out from behind. Only Xu Yourong and Feng Qingxue stood behind the dragon throne.
Lotus and Lu Xueqi followed Zhu Houzhao's wishes and did not leave the Palace of Heavenly Purity. They continued to rest.
All the ministers stepped out and greeted the Emperor.
He didn't kneel, he just bowed.
Other than Meng Yuan and Yao Qing, who needed people to kneel at all times, other dynasties did not need people to kneel unless it was an important occasion like the coronation ceremony yesterday, the Heaven Worship Ceremony, or the Emperor's funeral.
"If you have anything to report, if not, withdraw from court!"
"I, Xu Jie, have a memorial."
"Speak!"
Xu Jie walked out and stood in the middle of the hall.""Your Majesty, envoys from all the countries of the Nine Provinces have come to attend your coronation ceremony. The Chamberlain of Dependencies had accepted many betrothal gifts, some of which were extremely precious.”
"According to the usual practice, I'll just return the favor."”
"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Gao Qiu, has submitted a petition, hoping to marry Your Majesty.”
"Marriage?"
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse.
However, when he thought of a certain miserable Di Ji in history, his interest was immediately piqued.
"Who's the one who's getting married?"
"Gao Qiu didn't explain."
"It's not impossible for a marriage alliance.”
"Your Majesty, you must not."
"Why not? The Great Song Dynasty is adjacent to my Great Ming Empire. A marriage alliance can help our two countries to be harmonious and reduce military affairs.”
"Humph, my Ming Empire is powerful, but the Great Song Empire has been weak for a long time. They can even bully the Liao Jin Empire, so they should be annexed.”
……
Zhu Houzhao was speechless. Just for a marriage alliance, there were so many trivial matters?
The people in the hall were all officials, and they were all high and mighty in front of outsiders.
Now that they were spitting saliva at each other, it was really an eye-opener.
