Zhu Houcong was definitely in trouble this time. Zhu Houcong did not expect such a result. In fact, it was because he was too confident. If he was always vigilant, he would definitely be able to escape. This time he had to eat the bitter pill himself.
Absolutely deserved it.
The news that the Kong family was wiped out and the saint's ancestral hall was burned down by fire spread very quickly. It only took a few days for everyone to know about it, but everyone's first reaction was that it was false, and more people went there
Qufu judged whether the news was true or false, and the whole Ming Dynasty was in an uproar for a while.
At this time, Zhu Houcong had already arrived in Kyoto under the secret escort of Gu Dayong. Once here, even though the dark spirit still wanted to follow him, he was powerless. As long as he dared to follow him, Zhu Houcong would definitely kill him, even if he couldn't.
I had to seal him in a jar and put it under the toilet. I was really hurt by this guy.
Lu Fang and Yan Song have been upset these days. The news has reached Kyoto. The only good news is that there is no word on who did it yet. Gu Dayong is still capable of doing his job. Some people may be suspicious, but suspicion is suspicion. There is no doubt.
The evidence is all good.
But another piece of news made them all confused, that is, something really happened to His Majesty. Gu Dayong's letter was unclear, but what is certain is that something really happened to His Majesty. The two of them were stupid at that time.
Yes, I am really afraid of what will happen.
After returning to the capital, Zhu Houcong felt much better, but not much better. He felt like he was about to burst these days. Even if he survived this wave, it would take some time for his meridians to recover. Purely stealing
What's more, even though he didn't absorb the mental power, it penetrated pervasively, and he was 100% sure that he was affected.
In fact, there is no big problem. I just want to be closer to Confucianism. I am afraid it is intentional and there is no harm. However, it affects him as the emperor. He does not have to worry about the development of Confucianism. Zhu Houcong couldn't help but secretly cursed. He has lived for thousands of years.
It's all in the mind's eye.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
"Master, Master, please be careful. How can you take care of His Majesty Gu Dayong? Where is Huang Jin? Where did Huang Jin die?" The person who came out to greet Zhu Houcong was Chen Hong. Lu Fang and the others wanted to come over.
But I really can't get away.
Gu Dayong smiled bitterly, but he couldn't refute it. His Majesty was indeed there. Apart from problems, how could he say that His Majesty insisted on entering.
Zhu Houcong couldn't hear what was being said outside now. He could hardly hold on anymore. He was definitely at a loss when he went out this time. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so unlucky. It seemed like they were rushing him to do so.
But now there is no way to explore the reason. If he relaxes his mind, this is indeed a great creation. Such a huge force, although it may not be able to touch the threshold of the so-called god, but it can make him innately
A big step forward.
But he is not happy. Even if he does this kind of ghost thing, he is only using the power of his faith. Why does he want this thing? Of course he will not be contaminated if he can.
"Why, I have nothing to say. Isn't it because you deliberately framed His Majesty that His Majesty ended up like this? Gu Dayong, let me tell you, you are dead this time because you failed to protect His Majesty. This is
This is your biggest dereliction of duty, let me see who can save you." Chen Hong didn't like Gu Dayong to begin with, let alone after such a big thing happened.
"Ahem." Gu Dayong coughed twice, with blood oozing out of his mouth. He had no time to get treatment after being injured, so he could only drag it out. Now that he has finally arrived in the capital, he can relax a little.
.
"Haha, don't pretend like that. You think this can cover up your dereliction of duty. Telling you Gu Dayong is simply a fool's dream. Do you know what His Majesty's safety actually means? Let me tell you, if something happens to His Majesty, everything will be lost.
Everything will return to its original state, and neither you nor I will die well. Why don't you take care of His Majesty?"
Chen Hong became very angry as he talked, and so did Huang Jin, who was not reliable at all.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a decree to send him back to the palace and put the jade seal in his hand." After saying the last words, Gu Dayong fainted. His injuries were not serious, and with the days of hard work, he could no longer hold on.
Can't stand it any longer.
When Chen Hong saw this, he didn't know what to say. What could he say? He knew that Gu Dayong was probably not to blame for this matter. No one else could stop His Majesty from doing what he really wanted to do. It was important to send His Majesty back to the palace as soon as possible. The news must be
It can't be leaked, otherwise it will really turn the world upside down.
"Hurry up and escort His Majesty back to the palace, and take Gu Dayong with you. If anyone leaks what happened today, do you understand that your family will be confiscated and your clan will be exterminated?" Chen Hong squinted. Now that we have entered an extraordinary period, he can't care about so much anymore.
If Your Majesty cannot wake up, your innocence will collapse.
"promise."
The group of people immediately rushed towards the palace. Zhu Houcong also sensed that he had entered his own realm. He relaxed a little and just wanted to come back. He almost couldn't hold on anymore. It shouldn't be too bad. At least he got a lot of power of faith.
, you can study it slowly when you come back.
As for where to store it, he has already thought about it. What better place than the jade seal? The jade seal represents the destiny of a country, so it is the most suitable place to store it here.
And what is the use of Gu Da who was scolded by Chen Hong? He is looking for a way in the wild. He has been chewing tree bark for several days, and occasionally he can catch something. He is still starving to death.
"Your Majesty, where are you? This slave is going to starve to death." Although he had money, he had no map and couldn't find the direction. He felt like he was going in circles.
The moment Zhu Houcong picked up the jade seal, the power in his body finally had a way to vent. After emptying the power of faith in his body, Zhu Houcong felt much more relaxed. With a little bit left in his body, Zhu Houcong didn't feel anything wrong.
On the contrary, it feels a little comfortable.
This feeling is very bad, and I will probably sort it out again later, but it is not without gain. Yuxi seems to have become different after absorbing the power of faith. Anyway, in Zhu Houcong's eyes, it is more spiritual, like the power of faith.
The force gives it vitality.
As for impurities, could the power of faith be more complicated than the faith of all people? Zhu Houcong didn't have time to observe more. He was very busy now and had to repair his damaged meridians in time. This would take a long time.
It's a pity that he doesn't have so much time to repair it at the moment. He still has to deal with the affairs of the Kong family. There is no airtight wall in the world, and the Kong family has not been exterminated. Knowing that he has a lot of past, it will always be exposed. In this world
Youyou's mouth will always be directed towards him.
It doesn't matter if he's here, but if he's not there, Lu Fang and the others can't stand it.
"Come in." Zhu Houcong called Lu Fang and others in after he recovered a little, so as not to worry them.
"Master, you finally did it, but you scared us to death." Lu Fang took a breath and said, "Your Majesty is fine. When you just came back yesterday, His Majesty's face was scary. Now he is finally awake. As long as Your Majesty wakes up."
They have a backbone.
"Where is Qi Jingtong?" Zhu Houcong nodded slightly. As long as the army is in hand, no one can do anything. He is too lazy to fight with those guys. When the time comes, where will Qi Jingtong's army be moved? You just say
It's all up to you whether you're scared or not. It's completely useless to say some things or not. It's up to you to see if this army is scared or not.
"Already on the way, it will only take three to five days to arrive." Lu Fang hurriedly came out to reply. As long as His Majesty is fine, they will be relieved. Everything else is easy to talk about, but nothing will happen to His Majesty. As long as His Majesty is safe, they will be confident.
, it doesn’t matter what others say.
"Well, just wait, it will be fine when Qi Jingtong comes back. Don't worry, you won't find anything. People in the Kong family won't talk nonsense. There are only a few people who know. They are all smart people. If they don't talk nonsense,
He said that the family’s name can still be preserved, but if you tell nonsense, just throw it to the mine for mining.”
Zhu Houcong is not afraid at all. Kong Xiangxi is a smart man. He will restrain his people. Killing has the advantages of killing, and not killing also has the advantages of not killing. When there are more people, there will be more worries. Zhu Houcong is not afraid at all that someone will find out that it was the imperial court.
But they have no evidence at all.
"No." Lu Fang bowed slightly. He originally planned to hide the Kong family, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. Just do whatever you want.
"Yang Shen, release the Jinyi Guards. The people from Tiandong Factory will come back in a while. You can completely control the situation in the capital. When Qi Jingtong comes back, he will definitely not just let them garrison the capital. The capital still has to rely on you." Zhu Houcong said.
The voice is a little weak, but it is much better than at the beginning. The situation is like this, just suppress it first, and when he frees his hand, whoever dares to jump will be killed directly.
"Wei Chen knows." Yang Shen naturally knows what he should do. On the surface, Jin Yiwei can completely control the situation. The thousand people who were transferred before have also returned. In addition, there are enough weapons and ammunition recently. Even if there is another battle,
No problem, let alone suppressing the situation.
As for the dark side, absolutely no one dares to make small moves under Dongchang's nose. Jinyiwei has basically come clean, but Dongchang's prestige is indeed greater than before. This is also good. Where there is light,
There is darkness, and he was not particularly opposed to this kind of organization before. After all, there are many things that cannot be done, or are said to be difficult to do.
"How are the preparations for building the city? Now that the war is over, a city will be built outside the wall for foreign trade. We cannot use them as slaves, but we can establish trade channels. When they have no worries about food and drink,
Will they still think about fighting? We can even recruit them to join our army when the time comes. You don't need to be specifically responsible for this, but you have to take care of the drawings and locations."
Homogenization is a very scary thing. Force can only occupy people's bodies, but culture can change people's minds.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is to exchange for the cattle, sheep and various resources of the grassland tribes. If you don't have these, you can also achieve it by working on your own.
One is forced labor, and the other is active work. The more you work, the more you get. The enthusiasm of the two is definitely different. Maybe this is the cruelty of the capitalists, but compared to the feudal slavery system, this is undoubtedly very
Good situation now.
"It is already being prepared. Don't worry, Your Majesty, the construction schedule will not be delayed." Jinyiwei is a place to cultivate talents and a place to recruit talents. It is still very easy to get a few talents in related majors. It is not difficult, but recently
There are indeed a lot of things to do, and it is just a little slow relatively speaking. Now that His Majesty is fine, he can do his own thing with peace of mind.
"Well, I don't worry about you. Jinyiwei has a lot of talents. Don't waste it. Make use of it. Now the country is full of waste. I don't need you because I'm afraid that you will be too busy. But you can't just complete the tasks you assigned. Some of them are
You have to complete the matter by yourselves, understand? It’s so difficult for me and I don’t need you, so you have to understand my good intentions.”
Zhu Houcong had great expectations for Jinyiwei. If the large number of talents there were spread out, the work would be much easier. However, he did not and has always maintained a complete organization for Yang Shen.
Yang Shen was a little moved in his heart. Although Jin Yiwei is indeed very busy, they do have a lot of talents in Jin Yiwei, covering all aspects. People who are serious about doing things can still be found. To be honest, Yan Song is envious of them.
, he is very busy here, but there are many people, and they are all available.
His Jinyiwei talent pool is very comprehensive. Basically, there are all kinds of talents. He can carry out any kind of work here. Even though he is busy, he is still very grateful for His Majesty's kindness.
"Yan Song, you mainly need to pay attention to the recent imperial examination. They don't know the situation yet. You have to do a good job in appeasing them after the imperial examination is over. Those who are really causing trouble should be dealt with. You must be decisive and kill them to serve as a warning to others. These people will
You can’t keep them. Once you set a good example, everything else will be easy to manage. Selection of talents for the imperial court is a big deal, especially for this group. I believe you understand what I mean.”
There are too many positions that are vacant now. As long as this batch of admitted Jinshi are not too frustrated, they will basically be assigned some tasks, and they must be in departments with real power. Zhu Houcong must have people who want people to work, and the vacated positions have basically been removed now.
It’s almost done. Starting to work directly can definitely train people. When the time comes and it doesn’t work, just quit.
That being said, you should also pay attention when selecting people. They can’t all be crooked. Even if they are trained, they have to be relatively young. At least they have to be flexible and able to accept these new things. Find some old stubborns.
What's the use of coming here? It will be removed in the end, so why bother?
Yan Song nodded slightly, he was almost busy to death. Everything has happened recently. A large number of people below wanted to severely punish the murderer. The blame was almost slapped on his face, but what could he do? His Majesty's hand,
Can I still arrest His Majesty?
And this is because he can't show that kind of negative attitude. He must deal with it proactively. If he has a bad attitude, he will still be criticized. Add in some messy things, and he feels like his brain is going to explode.
