Chapter 18: The Pilgrimage

The next morning, in the early morning period, hundreds of civil and military officials came to the Fengtian Hall in fear, and stood on both sides according to the size of their official positions.

After all, Zhu Haotian's purge made everyone in danger, and they did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest, for fear that they would follow in the footsteps of the former.

"The emperor has arrived!" A sharp voice sounded, Zhu Haotian followed Wei Jinzhong, wearing a dragon robe, and walked to the dragon chair and sat down.

"My emperor, long live, long live, long live. ”

The officials knelt down one after another.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"I have a few things to say today, the first thing. ”

"Xuan, Zhuge Kongming went to the palace. Zhu Haotian said.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan! Zhuge Kongming will go to the palace!"

One after another, the voices came out, and the civil and military officials below all looked at each other and shook their heads, not knowing who Zhuge Kongming was.

Soon, a figure walked in, and everyone saw each other clearly, it was Zhuge Liang.

"Grass people Zhuge Liang, knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

"Flat. Zhu Haotian raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhuge Liang got up and was now there, waiting for Zhu Haotian's canonization.

"Zhuge Liang, a person with great wisdom and supernatural powers, I canonized you today, the first assistant of the Ming Empire, and the head of a hundred officials. ”

"In my absence, you are in charge of everything. ”

Zhu Haotian's words directly shook the entire court, and hundreds of civil and military officials looked at Zhuge Liang one after another, not knowing what the other party was good at.

It is simply something that has never happened in history to make His Majesty attach so much importance to it, and to directly canonize Shoufu as soon as he came up.

But now the entire court is Zhu Haotian's hall of words, civil and military officials, even if some people are dissatisfied, but they dare not say it.

"The minister obeys the order, thank you Your Majesty Longen, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations. ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly received the order, then stood up, stood at the front of the civil officials, and ignored the iron gall god Hou Zhu, one of the two was the head of the civil ministers, and the other was the head of the military generals.

Now Zhuge Liang controls the hundred officials, the iron gallant god Marquis Zhu ignores the control of soldiers and horses, Wei Jinzhong controls the palace and the East Factory, and now Zhu Haotian's troika is really formed.

Zhu Wuwen saw that His Majesty attached so much importance to this person, and at this time, he glanced at Zhuge Liang, his eyes narrowed, and he was deeply shocked, he couldn't see through Zhuge Liang's depth.

You must know that his cultivation is not low, but he found that he couldn't see through the other party, first, he didn't cultivate, and second, his cultivation was much higher than his own.

He didn't believe that Zhuge Liang didn't cultivate, because His Majesty attached so much importance to him, and the other party's strength was definitely not weak, that is, it was stronger than himself.

However, as the person who summoned, he was not jealous of the other people summoned by His Majesty, but was happy that His Majesty could have such a strong person join.

The second thing: I want to expand the army, and now the army of the Ming Empire is only one million. ”

"The Quartet countries are all eyeing our Daming, and the Quartet garrison is under control, and they don't listen to the announcement, and there are only 300,000 in my hands. ”

"These wolf ambitions are well known to everyone, thinking that I am in the capital, and they have a heavy army, so there is no way to take them. ”

"Therefore, the military power must be withdrawn, and I have decided to send envoys to the four directions to read out my will and let them return to Beijing to report on their duties. ”

"If they come back, it proves that they still have me as the emperor, and if they don't obey the order, then I can only get it back myself. ”

Zhu Haotian then said the second thing, and the hundreds of officials below listened carefully, and no one dared to speak out against it.

The third thing: "Rectify the world, as if it is controlled by the family today, as the evil side, the fish and the people." ”

"They fish and meat every day, but the people live a precarious life, throughout the ages, the people take food as the sky, I decided to take back the land in the hands of the family and turn it into a state state. ”

Then it was distributed according to the capitation, as long as the people paid taxes to the state every year, and the people were encouraged to do business. ”

"Breaking the class hierarchy, so that everyone in the world is equal and can eat and clothe warmly. ”

"Chen Shuzheng!" After Zhu Haotian finished speaking, he looked at Chen Shuzheng and shouted.

"The minister is here. Chen Shuzheng is now a secretary of the household department, and now the treasury is sufficient, which makes him full of confidence.

"I'll leave these two things to you, I will Zhuge Shoufu and Wei Jinzhong cooperate with you, recruit troops and go to the border to read the holy decree, and your household department will come!"

"If you obey your order, you will not disappoint Your Majesty. Chen Shuzheng said respectfully.

"The fourth thing: to establish a military academy, we must not only train civil ministers, but also military generals. ”

"In the past, the Ming Empire emphasized literature over military force, and the strength of soldiers was low, not only was foreign strength eyeing each other, but even the sects in the rivers and lakes did not take the imperial court seriously. ”

"I want to break this situation and let that sect know that the whole world is not the king's land, and as long as it is in my country, it must act according to my will. ”

"Otherwise, there is only a dead end. ”

"Zhuge Aiqing, you are responsible for this matter. ”

"Obey the order. Zhuge Liang hurriedly received the order.

"Okay, retreat!" Zhu Haotian stood up and said.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Seeing that Zhu Haotian was gone, everyone walked to the outside of the hall one by one, and began to step forward to curry favor with Zhuge Liang, but they were all sent away by Zhuge Liang.

Zhu ignored the fact that he was just about to leave the palace, after all, only Wei Jinzhong lived in the palace now, and his mansion was also in the imperial city, and now he lived in the mansion of Prince Qing.

Even Zhuge Liang was arranged in the former Shoufu's mansion at the same time.

At this time, he was stopped by a eunuch.

"Lord Shenhou, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Imperial Study. ”

"Yes, please ask your father-in-law to lead the way. When the Iron Courage Divine Marquis heard that His Majesty saw him, he hurriedly followed the other party to the imperial study.

When he came to the imperial study and saw Zhu Haotian, Zhu ignored and hurriedly bowed down: "Weichen Zhu ignored and knocked to see Your Majesty." ”

"Get up! I have come to you today for something I want to tell you. ”

"Please instruct Your Majesty, and the minister will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations. ”

"Now except for the imperial city under our control, the entire Ming Empire seems to be mine, but everywhere there is an undercurrent. ”

Zhu Haotian told the story.

"Just like a few generals on the frontier, even if I send people, they will not come to the capital. ”

"I did this to test them, and if they returned to Beijing, it would be just the right time for me to take their military power. ”

"Even if they don't come back, they just don't obey the order, and I have a reason to cut them down. ”

"However, now that we are under-armed, it is impossible for us to send troops at the same time to take them, not to mention that once we make a move, other countries will not sit idly by. ”

"There are also martial arts forces in the rivers and lakes, which should not be underestimated, so I decided to swallow them step by step while taking three steps together. ”

"I have decided to leave the capital tomorrow and secretly enter the rivers and lakes, while subduing some of the forces in the rivers and lakes, and at the same time truly control the various cities in my hands. ”

"In this way, it will not only be useful for recruiting troops and controlling the world, but at the same time, it will not be discovered by other forces, and when the time comes, it will be too late for other forces to find out. ”

"After you go back, hand over the brocade guard in your hand to Wei Jinzhong, hand over the military power to Zhuge Liang, and then transfer a group of masters to secretly follow us and enter the rivers and lakes. ”

"The minister obeys the order, and then goes back to hand it over. ”

Hearing Zhu Haotian's words, Zhu ignored no hesitation, and was reluctant to give up military power, and completely obeyed Zhu Haotian's orders.
