Chapter 352 Di Renjie’s Journey to the Ming Dynasty
"Your Majesty, the latest news is that the entire land, mountain gods, and river gods in Nanzhan Prefecture have been taken back by the Heavenly Court. They can no longer control the mountains, rivers, and rain in Nanzhan Prefecture."
"Three days have passed now. In three days, three large rivers have flooded in Datang alone. Two mountain ranges have collapsed. Heavy rain has been falling continuously in the southern part of Datang for three days and three nights. It is very likely to happen.
Floods."
At the great court meeting of the Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie reported to Wu Zetian who was sitting at the top with a solemn face.
"Not only that, the city gods from all over the Tang Dynasty have evacuated back to the underworld. Without the underworld to guide those lonely souls and wild ghosts, in the future, our country, the Tang Dynasty, will become a paradise for lonely souls and wild ghosts."
"If this matter is not dealt with in time, it will definitely jeopardize the foundation of our rule in the Tang Dynasty." Another official spoke up, it was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand. Why does Heaven suddenly behave like this? If we have offended Heaven's power in any way, we must give us a decree and explain it, and we must correct it!"
"This is such a brutal severing of all connections between Tianting and Nanzhan Buzhou. What does Tianting want to do?"
"Do you want to give up our Nanzhan tribe?"
"yes!"
"There's something wrong with this matter. Why is it that Heavenly Court's action was so sudden? There are so many people in my southern state who ascend to Heaven every year. Why hasn't any news come back yet?"
There was a sudden uproar in the hall, and obviously most people were a little panicked at this moment. In the eyes of most mortals, Heaven is the representative of authority and the patron saint who protects them from being bullied by monsters and monsters.
But now Tianting has suddenly unilaterally cut off contact with Nanzhan Buzhou, which has indeed made many people start to panic involuntarily.
"Why are you panicking?"
Wu Zetian, who was sitting high on the throne, shouted sharply.
"We, the Tang Dynasty, are the largest human nation in Nanzhan Province. Over the past few decades, we have continuously developed and accumulated huge national power. We have never experienced any big storms. You just have to stick to your posts. If Heaven really gives up on Nanzhan Province,
State, then I, the Tang Dynasty, will protect the southern state."
"Retreat!" Wu Zetian looked around and saw that everyone was subdued by her momentum. She couldn't help but snorted coldly, and set off first to the rear hall.
And as he left, many courtiers could only leave the hall in twos and threes.
Looking at this scene, Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that going south to Buzhou from today on would be an eventful time.
Even from now on, Nanzhan Province will never be able to live in peace again.
After all the courtiers left the main hall, Di Renjie could not help but follow Wu Zetian's footsteps to the back hall.
In the apse at this moment, Wu Zetian had changed out of her court clothes. She was now wearing a translucent silk palace dress and was studying a small object in her hand.
"Your Majesty!" Di Renjie saluted respectfully, but did not reveal any other thoughts because Wu Zetian's clothes were too revealing.
"Di Xiang, this day has finally come, but I really didn't expect it to be so early. What do you think we should do now?" Wu Zetian raised his head and asked.
"For today's plan, we rely on ourselves. It is almost impossible to fight against the Heavenly Court. Just cutting off all connections between us and the Heavenly Court now is already too much for us, let alone if they send an army again, then we may be
Collapse faster!"
"So I think we need to get in touch with Ming Dynasty as soon as possible to obtain greater assistance from Ming Dynasty." Di Renjie said solemnly.
"But... they are people from another world after all. Can we really believe it?" Wu Zetian frowned.
She has always been a little worried and scrupulous about Daming.
Of course, it is unclear whether this scruple is because the other party is from a different world, or because the Ming Dynasty has a talented and strategic emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Empire is an empire built by the human race. Although none of us have been to the Ming Dynasty, I feel that now that we are both human races, we have many common interests. Heaven should be the common enemy of both of us. This is also
The reason why they have been helping Datang for decades." Di Renjie said seriously.
Regarding the origins of those who helped the Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie and Wu Zetian had very in-depth exchanges. In the end, they unanimously speculated that this may be a small world outside the Three Realms. Of course, it is said to be a small world, but in fact it may not be smaller than the Three Realms.
However, due to some reasons, this world was not connected to the Three Realms before.
This allows that side of the world to develop peacefully without being restricted by the outside world.
And now, perhaps because of an accident, they have connected to the three realms.
Naturally, during the investigation of the Three Realms, they discovered the Heavenly Court and also discovered the truth behind the establishment of the Heavenly Court. Naturally, if they do not want to surrender to the Heavenly Court, there is only one way left, which is to find allies in the Three Realms and fight together.
Heaven.
And Datang was the ally they found.
It is precisely because of this speculation that Di Renjie said the above words.
With the Heavenly Court still at its peak, it is impossible for this dynasty from another world to do anything to the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, if one day, the Heavenly Court is really torn apart by the Tang Dynasty united with this otherworldly empire, then it is unknown whether they will turn their target to the Tang Dynasty.
But that happened so long ago that it makes no sense to discuss it now.
In fact, Wu Zetian didn't understand this truth, but as the empress of the Tang Dynasty, it was really shameful for him to shamelessly ask the Ming Dynasty for help, so naturally she had to give in.
"Your Majesty, let the veteran do this!"
"I must go to the Ming Dynasty in person this time to see what this mysterious empire in another world is like!" Di Renjie said with a determined look.
All those before were just guesses after all. If you really want to be deeply bound to the Ming Dynasty, you must go to the Ming Dynasty to see it. Otherwise, who can guarantee that the so-called Ming Dynasty is not a mirror flower, or a demon from outside the territory pretending to be one!
Only by seeing the appearance of Ming Dynasty with his own eyes can Datang Dynasty truly make up his mind to fight the Heavenly Court to the end and have such confidence.
"Mr. Di, it's great to have friends from far away. Since you want to come to Ming Dynasty, then come. I am Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Ming Dynasty, and I am here to greet you!" Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded in the main hall.
It rang out, resounding in the ears of Di Renjie and Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian's expression changed when he heard the voice. He turned his head suddenly and looked around, but found nothing. She had no clue where the speaker was.
Not only her, but also Di Renjie and the surrounding protective forces, both overt and covert, could not find any trace of Zhu Biao at all.
Di Renjie stabilized his mind, raised his head, looked around and bowed, and then said: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, why don't you show up and say something?"
"I'm at Piaoliu Villa in the southwest of Chang'an City, which is also the space passage into the Ming Dynasty. Just come over directly, Mr. Di!"
"Of course, if Her Majesty the Queen wants to come, she is welcome. I, the Ming Dynasty, will definitely receive the distinguished guests from the Tang Dynasty with 120% sincerity." Zhu Biao's voice sounded again.
Di Renjie and Wu Zetian were shocked when they heard this.
In order to explore the Ming Dynasty's space passage, they spent countless manpower and material resources, but in the end they still found nothing. However, they did not expect that the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire would tell them so easily.
What's more, what the two of them didn't expect was that this space passage was actually in Chang'an City.
Doesn't this mean that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to be disadvantageous to the Tang Dynasty, it could immediately mobilize thousands of troops and horses?
"Your Majesty, what do you say?" Di Renjie turned to look at Wu Zetian.
"Mr. Di, if that's the case, then you should take a trip!"
"Look what's going on in this Ming Dynasty!" Wu Zetian said in a deep voice.
At the same time, she had made up her mind to invite Yang Chan to Chang'an City tomorrow. Because she was afraid that Heaven would discover clues about the Tang Dynasty and was also afraid of Yang Chan's strong fighting power, Wu Zetian had not invited Yang Chan to come over. Of course, Yang Chan himself was in Huashan Qing Dynasty.
Xiu, too lazy to come over.
But things are different now. The voice of the so-called Prince of the Ming Empire can actually penetrate directly into her Changle Palace. Doesn't this mean that it would be easy for the other party to come in or even kill her?
This is something she cannot accept under any circumstances.
In today's Tang Dynasty, the most powerful person is undoubtedly Yang Chan, who holds the lotus lantern.
If she could be invited here to take charge, then at least these people from the Ming Dynasty would restrain themselves a little.
Di Renjie received Wu Zetian's order and quickly arrived at the Drifting Villa introduced by Zhu Biao without hesitation.
There is nothing unusual here from the outside, but as soon as you enter, it is immediately different. From the gate to the garden at the back, it can be said that there are strong and armed soldiers everywhere.
And judging from the evil spirits on these soldiers, these soldiers have all been on the battlefield and killed people.
Seeing the big from the small, Di Renjie can determine the inherent powerful force of the Ming Dynasty from this point alone.
Soon Di Renjie was led into a special building.
This is a huge space built underground. They took an iron box down. Along the way, he could feel the fluctuations of countless formations. It was obvious that this place was shrouded in countless formations, and it was still underground. No wonder they discovered
This channel is not available.
In fact, this channel is a new one opened by Zhu Biao in the past two days. After all, we will increase cooperation with Datang in the future. Without a direct space channel to the Datang Empire, there will be a lot of trouble.
Of course, the most important point is that as Zhu Yuanzhang's strength in cultivating the Human Emperor's Sutra has greatly increased, they have already acquired the initial ability to protect themselves, and are no longer afraid of the mighty masters of the three realms trying to destroy the Ming Dynasty alone.
With the power of self-protection, naturally there are no more worries.
Even now Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang still hope that Tathagata Buddha or the Jade Emperor can be more reckless and kill the Ming Dynasty directly through this space channel.
After all, only in this way can the gifts they prepared for these three realms masters come in handy.
"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Di is here. Please forgive me for not being able to greet him from afar!" Zhu Biao stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.
While Di Renjie returned the gift, he began to secretly look at the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire in front of him.
Shenzang is restrained and majestic. Obviously, this prince's position should be extremely stable, otherwise he would never be able to develop such courage. From this point of view, the politics of the Ming Empire should also be very stable. This is not only for him, but also for the Tang Dynasty.
That’s really good news!
After all, an empire's foreign policy will be stable only if its politics are stable. They don't want their policies to change every day after cooperating with the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao naturally saw that Di Renjie was observing him, but he didn't care and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"Mr. Di, time is running out now. Let's keep things simple. Since you want to inspect the Ming Dynasty first, let's go over there now without further delay!"
"Okay, let's go!" Di Renjie also had a resolute character. He nodded directly and followed Zhu Biao into the space passage.
The mind was just in a trance, and the next moment they appeared high in the sky.
This is the entrance to the passage to the Three Realms, directly above Nanjing City.
This place has now been built into an air and space base, not only to prepare for the subsequent large-scale assistance to Datang with various materials, but also to prevent the strong men from the Three Realms from secretly coming through the space channel and arresting him. The movement caused by this will affect the city of Nanjing.
of stability.
Of course, there is another function, that is, those who enter the Ming Dynasty through the space passage for the first time can overlook the general outline of the entire Nanjing City. I believe that the current appearance of Nanjing City will definitely attract a lot of exclamations and admiration.
of.
"call……!"
"This... I have never seen a city like this!"
"This simply overturns all my impressions of the human world." Di Renjie, who had always disdained expressing his inner feelings on his face, was really shocked this time.
The rows of tall buildings, the endless flow of vehicles, the various crowds, and the rich and colorful food all told Di Renjie that this was indeed a world that surpassed their Tang Dynasty for countless thousands of years.
This must be what the ultimate world that humans pursue looks like.
"Mr. Dee, there is something I want to explain to you first!"
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "The Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Empire, who is also my father, has now won the title of Human Emperor of the Three Realms. He is now the leader of the Ming Empire, and all races in the Three Realms, including the Tang Dynasty.
The Human Emperor."
"this……!"
"How is this possible!" If the scene he saw before was just a surprise to him, then Zhu Biao's second sentence was a shock to him.
The Human Emperor..., how could the Human Emperor, who represents the past and future of the human race, be succeeded by a king from another world?
This simply subverted all his three views.
"If Duke Dee doesn't believe it, he will know after he meets my father. Also, if Duke Dee knows the emperor, perhaps he can meet him and let the old emperor tell you the reasons for this in person."
Zhu Biao said seriously.
He told Di Renjie this matter because he had found out that this Duke Di was someone he could win over. His loyalty was not to Wu Zetian, but to the entire human race. In other words, he was actually the Human Emperor.
