Chapter 466: The Han Flag Is Raised at the Foot of Mount Fuji, and Horses Are Sent to Kyoto to Enjoy the Cherry Blossoms.

In the hall of the palace, Xu Xin told everyone about his plan in detail.

The Ming Dynasty has only just begun the transfer of power, and the real power is still in Xu Xin's hands. He can use the power of the Ming Dynasty to help himself establish a country, conquer Yingzhou in the east, and take this place to open up his Great Xu Dynasty.

Raise the Han flag under Mount Fuji, and ride in Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Every Chinese man has such a dream, but it is difficult to achieve in ancient times. It was too difficult to conquer Yingzhou in ancient times.

Not to mention the distant past, the two Mongolian expeditions to the east failed due to typhoons. If they succeeded, history might be different.

The failure of the Mongol Empire's expedition to the east was due to multiple factors. In this world, Xu Xin would never fail.

First of all, the current Ming Dynasty is more powerful than the Mongolia that went to the east. Xu Xin has been planning Liaodong for many years. He has been exploring that area and can find a landing place very close to Dongying. It is not necessary to take a boat, and he can go in multiple ways.

In addition, he had already conquered the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, the most famous martial arts family in Japan. Over the years, with his support, the influence of the Yagyu family has gradually penetrated all aspects of Japan. With such an insider, it is quite easy for him to open up the situation.

"Everyone, for our future, go down and prepare!"

After Xu Xin finished talking about his general plan, everyone present was boiling. The glory of the first page of the family tree was beckoning to them. How great the benefits of conquering a country are, Xu Xin has shown them over the years that destroying a country and colonizing can also make a business.

And this time, the one to be attacked is still Japan, an ancient country with a long history in East Asia. Destroying the so-called emperor and immigrating the people of the Central Plains is equivalent to recreating a China.

As for those local people, opening the Age of Discovery, let those people take risks to open up, you can't let them invade the resources of the people of Daxu!

In the Forbidden City, Xu Xin's mobilization meeting had just ended, and the emperor had already received the news. Xu Xin had returned power to him with great fanfare during the day, and summoned so many civil and military officials in the court at night. Of course, he couldn't sit still and kept paying attention.

"What? Zhongfu is preparing to leave the Central Plains."

When the emperor learned the information that Xu Xin had deliberately leaked to him, he was confused for a while, feeling that things were developing too fast and caught him off guard.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Master also asked me to bring you some words."

Zhang Heling, the emperor's uncle, had followed Xu Xin to engage in overseas trade a long time ago. Now he is also one of the richest merchants in the Ming Dynasty. This time Xu Xin specially invited him, and after the meeting, he asked him, the uncle of the emperor, to come to the Forbidden City to bring a message.

"What did Zhongfu say."

The little emperor sat in front of the dragon case, wanting to drink a cup of tea to calm down, but found that his hands were shaking really badly.

"The Grand Master said that you are not at ease with the people he left behind, and there are many obstacles. Since he has retired, just take them all away!"

"This is the last thing he can do for you. You have to walk the road ahead by yourself. You have to establish your own majesty."

"Also, you don't need to confer the title of prince. He can fight for the country by himself."

Zhang Heling said this very seriously, trying his best to recall Xu Xin's expression when he spoke, and solemnly warned his nephew.

He couldn't understand why his nephew was so anxious. Obviously, the Grand Master had been doing a good job in governing, but now... he can only rely on the little emperor himself.

"I know, uncle, you go down first!"

After listening to the words of uncle Zhang Heling, the little emperor drank a sip of tea and calmed down a little. He waved his hand to let him go!

Zhang Heling bowed to Zhu Houzhao and the empress dowager, then turned and left the Qianqing Palace.

"My son! You really hurt the Grand Tutor's heart this time."

The Queen Mother Zhang sighed. She didn't expect things to develop to this point.

"Mother, I know I was wrong. My father left, and now my father is leaving too. He is doing this for me..."

The emperor hugged his mother and cried silently like a child who had not grown up.

The words that Xu Xin asked Zhang Heling to bring made him realize that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, and this was also the best result.

Today, Xu Xin's invitation, more than half of the civil and military officials who were eligible to attend the grand court meeting during the day went. This is his invisible power.

If Xu Xin did not leave the Central Plains, even if he retreated to the second line, he could still influence the government at any time, and he would still be the strongest power. Even if he did not have that idea himself, who could guarantee that the people around him or his descendants would not act recklessly.

The emperor was so powerful that he could rebel at any time. Such a person was around. The emperor could tolerate it for a while, but could he tolerate it for a lifetime?

How could he allow others to snore beside his bed!

Xu Xin had been the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, but his surname was not Zhu, so he would have conflicts with those with the surname Zhu sooner or later.

So he left such a sentence before leaving the Forbidden City.

"I am not Wang Mang, but I don't want to be Huo Guang!"

This was his inner voice, but he was helpless.

The powerful ministers who had reached that point had only two choices.

Either do what Wang Mang did, that is, follow the example of people like Wang Mang, Cao Cao, and Sima Yi, and "abdicate" and become emperor after deposing and enthroning, and take the throne themselves.

Another choice is to learn from Huo Guang and be a "loyal powerful minister" for life. If you are such a person, your whole family will be honored and you will be fine when you are alive, but if you die, your family will be confiscated and exiled, which is already considered light.

Xu Xin did not choose the above two paths. His choice has never been seen in history. It can be said to be a precedent.

"Shou'er, your Zhongfu is a man of great virtue. He is a real saint."

Empress Dowager Zhang held her son and gently stroked his head to comfort him. In her mind, she thought of that year when she was on the embroidery building, looking at the high-spirited young man who came to pick up the bride. At that moment, her mind was full of him.

Unfortunately, the young man was not her future husband. This may be the most regrettable thing in her life.

"Zhongfu is a great virtue and a saint. Father is right. The child is wrong. Shou'er is really wrong..."

Xu Xin's choice is unimaginable in this era, and this is also the last step of his three immortals, "establishing virtue".

The "three immortals" praised by the world, establishment of merit and establishment of words are relatively only able to be done by oneself to gain recognition from the world.

For example, Xu Xin's Fenglangjuxu and Yinmahanhai, which are like a cheat, are directly indisputable in terms of establishment of merit.

"Establishing words" is similar. His "Wangxue" defeated Neo-Confucianism and established orthodoxy. Who can say that he is not good at "establishing words"?

The key lies in "establishing virtue". Who can say that he has never made any mistakes? If you really want to find faults, everyone's virtue is not enough.

So Xu Xin took a different approach and did not care about "private virtue" at all, but "great virtue". After helping the Ming Dynasty to save the world, he was able to give up the opportunity to go further and return power to the emperor.

Such a person, can you say that he has problems with "virtue"? This is the pinnacle of "establishing virtue". This is a saint who has unified the three immortals of establishing merit, establishing virtue and establishing words.
