Chapter 429: The Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis Kills People in Anger, and Liu Sheng Wreaks Havoc on the Martial Arts World with His Sword
In the fourth year of Hongzhi, the Forbidden City, Wuying Palace.
"That's unreasonable! What do they want to do! Rebellion!"
With an angry roar, the current emperor Zhu Youtang pushed all the memorials on the desk to the ground. This good old man's face was rarely filled with anger.
In the Wuying Hall, after the waiters on duty, Cao Zhengchun and Huaien, looked at each other, Cao Zhengchun quietly exited the Wuying Hall.
After a while, Eunuch Cao returned to the outside of Wuying Hall, and naturally he brought with him Xu Xin, the emperor's most trusted minister.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang is here."
Cao Zhengchun walked in first to report Xu Xin's arrival to the emperor. The emperor, who had become calmer, waved his hand and asked Cao Zhengchun to announce the person in.
"His Majesty!"
Xu Xin walked into the Wuying Palace and saw the emperor waving his hand without even showing any courtesy.
"Shouren, you and I are meeting in private, so there is no need for these vulgar etiquettes. No need."
The emperor's trust in Xu Xin was enough to make any courtier in the inner court or outside the court jealous. However, according to some people who knew the details, including Cao Zhengchun, Huai'en, Zhu Wuwu, etc., the emperor's trust in this "little pavilion elder" Trust, that's a matter of course.
This "little cabinet elder" has gained countless power and grace from the emperor since he came to power. Everything he did was a real good thing for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor. He was not only a "loyal minister", but also a "loyal minister". "Capable ministers" truly share the emperor's worries.
Just like Eunuch Cao, he has no problem with "loyalty", but in terms of ability... he can't handle many things in the outer court.
Even if he was really given power, it would be good if he could maintain the imperial court. Eunuch Cao was incapable of expanding territory, civilizing and martial arts, and reforming the imperial system. For example, the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian was praised so much...but in reality it was just a sword.
"Eunuch Cao!"
The emperor pointed at the memorials on the ground. Eunuch Cao waved and grabbed them. The few copies the emperor had seen before were in his hands.
"Shouren, look at these people. My emperor's 100-day banquet is approaching, and I asked them to write some congratulations. These people are actually making fun of the royal family. And at this time, there are still people coming to impeach the tenth emperor..."
The emperor was very angry. Originally, the birth of his first child two months ago was something worthy of celebration. There were ministers who reported a general amnesty to the world. It was nothing for him to gain a good reputation for his good deeds.
But he didn't expect that when he asked these people to do something, someone would actually do this, and some of them were guys who were released after being pardoned. This kind of repayment of kindness really made him want to pick up the knife and chop it down himself. people.
Xu Xin casually glanced at the memorial a few times, then threw it aside and said: "The imperial censor's admonishment is in line with the rules. Normally, we can't deal with them."
"In addition, they are always staring at the Governor, which has a great influence on the Governor's state of mind. I heard several ladies in the family say that not being able to think clearly is not good for practicing martial arts."
"you mean?"
"Invite the Governor to come over and ask him if he wants to take a breath of evil."
"Can!"
The emperor thought for a moment and nodded. He also wanted to take a breath of anger, just to temporarily aggrieve his younger brother. However, the thunder and rain are all due to your kindness, so I can make up for it elsewhere, and then entrust my younger brother with important responsibilities to make up for it after the storm has passed.
Eunuch Cao went out again. This time it took him a little time. The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was a little farther away than Wenyuan Pavilion. In addition, the search for the Governor had to be done secretly and no news could be revealed.
…
In the fifth year of Hongzhi's reign, on the first day of the first lunar month, there was a great new year. It was also the 100th day of the emperor's eldest son Zhu Houzhao. Double happiness came. The emperor summoned his ministers and gave a banquet to Fengtian Hall.
After the banquet at Fengtian Hall, some officials drank too much and insulted Zhu Shili, the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, in the street, which actually angered the governor and killed him.
As soon as this incident came out, the emperor was furious. Because the governor, Zhu Wuwu, belonged to the clan, he handed it over to the clan government for justice.
Afterwards, Governor Zhu ignored his resignation and chose to leave Beijing to travel around the world, broadening his mind and making great progress in martial arts, which led to another incident.
…
"Zhu Tiedan traveled to the Tianshan Mountains and met the ancient Santong..."
In the palace of the capital, when Xu Xin received the latest information about Zhu Wuli, his heart moved. The gears of all fate had finally begun to turn!
"Heizi, let Diao Buyu prepare. You two will follow me to Tianshan Mountain."
As soon as Xu Xin made a move, he summoned the leaders of the nursing home, Heizi and Diao Buyu. They had followed Xu Xin for many years and were highly trusted, and their martial arts were even more tyrannical than before.
Diao Buyu has now broken through the realm of Xiantian. When it comes to swordsmanship, he is not inferior to Ba Dao and Guihai Bailian, the two most famous swordsmen in the Central Plains.
However, the world's best swordsman is not these two people, but the "Yagyu Itken" who is said to have come from Japan to the Central Plains and defeated countless masters.
This origin is a mystery. It can only be deduced from the name and the approximate number of sword techniques that he is a martial arts master from Japan. He first appeared on the Unnamed Treasure Island in the East China Sea two years ago. It is said that the treasure news from the Giant Whale Gang is He deliberately let it go to attract masters to sacrifice the sword.
On the treasure island in the East China Sea, Yagyu defeated countless masters of swordsmanship such as Sato Kinosuke, Mian Kuangshiro, Ken Jingfeng, Ba Dao, Guihai Bairen, etc. with one sword, and was called the best swordsman in the world.
The latter title was given by the Japanese, and they were always indiscriminate in their childhood.
After becoming the best sword in the world, Yagyu Ichiken did not stop his conquests, but continued to challenge martial arts masters in Japan and Central Plains. After killing several famous martial arts masters in Central Plains, he crossed the river to the west of Central Plains and started a new round of challenges.
Many masters of the eight major sects of the white way in Central Plains and the Demon Sect, the leader of the black way, have died in his hands. It is said that their blood was all sacrificed to the blood-bladed magic sword of Yagyu Ichiken, making the blood-colored weapon even more terrifying.
It is said that the eight major sects and the Demon Sect have secretly joined forces to kill this demon from Japan for the "glory of the Central Plains martial arts world."
Such slogans actually really made some fools who had nothing to do with the matter believe them and responded to the call to chase Yagyu Ichiken's trail.
The current situation is that the rivers and lakes are turbulent, but the court is developing steadily.
Zhu Wusi resigned, and his work was naturally taken over by Xu Xin himself. In more than two years, the military reform has begun to show results, and then it is necessary to start with the big aspects such as redundant personnel, empty salaries, and guards.
If these things are done smoothly, then the emperor and Xu Xin will have a group of elite soldiers who can be used, and then it will not be difficult to rectify the administration and carry out reforms.
It is precisely because they are about to start doing big things that Zhu Wusi has been away for so long, and it is time to bring him back to work.
In addition, he also wants to see Gu Santong and Su Xin now.
