Looking at Yan Song, who advocated the annexation of Great Song, Zhu Houzhao scoffed.
If someone else said this, it would be a little believable. The famous Yan Song, hehe.
It was impossible to dominate the world. How much water had gone into his brain to have such an idea?
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the Great Qin Empire, Great Han Empire, Great Sui Empire, Great Tang Empire, Great Song Empire, Mengyuan Empire, Great Ming Empire, and Demon Qing Empire stood in great numbers, each occupying a prefecture.
The remaining state was the Martial State. Martial arts were respected, and martial artists occupied it. The World Association and Wushuang City were in a standoff.?
Although it was called a state, each state had an area of tens of millions of square kilometers and a population of hundreds of millions.
Other than the core of the Nine Prefectures, there were also the Liao, Jin, Xixia, Dali, Tubo, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and hundreds of countries in the Western Regions.
There were many countries, and they faced off against each other, forming a fragile balance.
With such a huge land, he still wanted to unify the Nine Provinces?
Nowadays, transportation and communication methods were inconvenient to manage within the empire, and the imperial power did not go to the countryside.
How long would it take to travel from the capital to the place?
How could he manage it?
The gentry, families, sects, gangs, and so on all became local emperors in various places.
Setting off endless slaughter and working hard to unify the Nine Provinces, was it all for these vermin?
How stupid must he be to cause trouble?
Moreover, Zhu Houzhao was very clear that the situation in the Nine States was affected by one move.
If he dared to start a war against the Great Song, he would definitely be put on guard by the Great Tang, Great Qin, and the other countries, and they might even help the Great Song.
Therefore, it was best to improve the people's livelihood and deal with the gentry and land problems in the country.
In the future, when his strength was sufficient, he would just beat Meng Yuan and Yao Qing.
Moreover, improving the people's livelihood would make the Empire better and better in the future. There would be plenty of people coming. By then, it would not be a dream to not shed blood.
Of course, this was a long process.
Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry. After all, practicing martial arts could extend one's lifespan.
Heaven Tier warriors had a lifespan of 300 years, while True Martial Tier warriors had a lifespan of 500 years. Both were the paths to immortality.
Therefore, the various empires had many hidden foundations, and the Daming Empire was no exception.
Leaning forward, he rested his elbows on his knees and rested his chin on his fists. He looked at the noisy ministers with lifeless eyes.
Zhu Houzhao's mind was also on the system. Yesterday, he had a lot of things to do, and then he had no energy and energy. Now, he finally had the time to understand a little.
The check-in system, as its name suggested, gave all kinds of rewards by signing in once a day.
Of course, the rewards for the day lot would be slightly worse, unless there were special circumstances.
The chances of getting something good from the monthly and annual lots were higher, but it was not necessarily good.
It was all a matter of probability. There were also treasures that could be seen in the day divination. It all depended on one's luck.
"System, sign in."
The host has signed in to the Dragon Throne in the Throne Room and received a Celestial Artifact Tower of Trials. As this world was a Wuxia world, any adjustments to the Tower of Trials would not affect its usage. Accept?
"Hiss, immortal artifact. That's not right, system. I seem to have sat here yesterday to sign in.”
Yesterday's check-in was the first time. The influence of the check-in address was excluded, and only his identity was involved.
"Okay, that's great. I'll receive it."
Host, do you want to recognize the Tower of Trials as its master?
"What do you mean?"
The treasures that the host signed in might not be used by himself and might be used by his subordinates. Therefore, unless the host emphasized it, all the treasures that were signed in would not recognize the owner directly.
"Directly recognize me as your master!"
This was a Celestial Artifact. The Xianxia World was full of treasures. How could he give it to others?
He could completely trust the four guards. Giving them to him was equivalent to using them for himself.
However, he was all alone now. He had to have something to build his foundation, right?
As he thought, a ten-story stone tower appeared in front of him, but the quarreling people in the court ignored it.
In an instant, the stone pagoda burrowed into Zhu Houzhao's glabella and retracted all its aura, as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care. This was a Celestial Artifact. If it didn't have some extraordinary ability, how could it have such a grade?
After understanding the Tower of Trials, Zhu Houzhao put his mind on the outside world.
Looking at the people who were standing in another place in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, Zhu Houzhao immediately understood after comparing them with his memories.
Gu Jinfu, the Imperial Steed Superintendent's Seal Eunuch, was the villain in the movie version of 'Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World'.
Although he was a villain, he did not have any thoughts of rebelling.
As for his obsession with martial arts, that was nothing.
The other was the commander of the Royal Guards, Ye Sudong, an expert of the Xining Sect who had been established in the Imperial City.
Thinking of the Xining Sect, Zhu Houzhao combined his memories from his previous life, and a figure unconsciously appeared in his heart.
Thinking of that person, his heart felt a little warm.
He subconsciously looked at Zhuge Zhengwo, who was calm and collected. This familiar face was asking for a beating. Could it be that the four famous hunters were in a movie version?
No wonder he was called Divine Marquis Six-Six. Zhuge Xiaohua, who was supposed to be Divine Marquis Six-Five, couldn't be the one from the Six Fan School of the Great Song Dynasty, right?
Ming also had Six Fan School, the God of Constabulary, and the Chief Advisor Guo Juxia.
Zhuge Zhengwo was not the commander of the Six Fan School. Instead, he was independent and even had a competitive relationship with the Six Fan School.
Could it be that they were all copied?
Zhu Houzhao let his imagination run wild and had some thoughts.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses and saw all the officials looking at him with resentment. He laughed and sat up straight.
"Minister Xu."
"Your subject is here."
"Zhen heard that Maode Imperial Concubine is beautiful, let's marry her.”
"Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.”
He knew that the ministers present were dissatisfied, not because of the marriage, but because of his attitude.
Taking the initiative to ask for a certain princess was a provocation in the eyes of outsiders.
Da Ming was not afraid, but there was no need to.
Moreover, Zhu Houzhao was like this, didn't it mean that he was frivolous?
Zhu Houzhao didn't think much of it. Martial arts were respected in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. As long as his martial arts were strong, everything would not be a problem.
As for Big Ming's internal problems, he would slowly sort them out. In fact, he did not intend to spend too much effort.
He was the emperor, so he only needed to give orders.
On the other hand, he had to control the military.
It was a waste to place Xie Xuan's one hundred thousand soldiers in one Black Turtle Camp. They needed to be divided up.
With this 100,000 loyal followers, it would be best to radiate the others.
However, Zhu Houzhao was a little worried. Even though those hundred thousand elite soldiers had been through hundreds of battles, they were only used against those dynasties in his previous life.
Martial arts were respected in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, and there were countless people who practiced martial arts in the army.
Did those 100,000 elite soldiers also practice martial arts?
If he didn't practice martial arts, then there would be a problem.
Unconsciously, he started to despise the system.
Other systems had signed in the Snow Dragon Riders, and they could even kill martial grandmasters.
He was only an army from his previous dynasty. Although he was an elite soldier, he was still far from it.
However, when he thought of the Tower of Trials, he suddenly stopped worrying.
Perhaps it was because they had just ascended the throne, the ministers did not deliberately stir up trouble.
