Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 618

"Just do as you say!"

It is such a shame and humiliation to be crowned king by his own descendants. Old Zhu clenched his fists, feeling extremely angry in his heart, but he could only follow Zhu Houzhao.

The loser has no right to speak.

He can also reject Zhu Houzhao, but there is a price to pay for the refusal. Zhu Houzhao needs to use him to balance the contradiction between civil and military, but it does not mean that he is Zhu Houzhao's only choice.

King Wu, before Lao Zhu established Daming, he was King Wu under Xiaoming King Han Liner, and now he has become King Wu again, which is somewhat ironic.

"I have wronged the great grandfather."

Zhu Houzhao said very hypocritically, and was quite satisfied with Lao Zhu's understanding of current affairs.

Given enough time for him, he is sure to smooth Lao Zhu's temper and let Lao Zhu fully use him.

Old Zhu accepted Zhu Houzhao's gift, and the others naturally didn't need to sing against Zhu Houzhao, they all accepted it gladly.

Zhu Biao, who knows the general situation, knows how to advance and retreat, is lenient, and is named King Wen;
Zhu Di was the King of Yan before he became emperor, but now that he has lost his authority, he has returned to the original King of Yan.

Zhu Gaochi, king of benevolence.

Zhu Zhanji, King Xuan.

Zhu Qiyu, King Jing.

Zhu Jianshen, became king.

Zhu Houcong, dedicated to the king.

Zhu Zaidi, King Xing.

Zhu Yijun, honored king.

Zhu Changluo, King of Anle.

Zhu Youxiao has an unparalleled talent in puppetry. It can be said that the development of puppetry in the Ming Dynasty was founded by him, and he has made great contributions to puppetry. He is a feudal king.

Zhu Youjian, Chongwang.

Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the situation and promoted Zhu Youtang to become the Supreme Emperor, and Zhu Qiyuan went one step further and became a veritable prince.

Zhu Youtang can't threaten Zhu Houzhao's imperial power, and it doesn't hurt to be promoted as the Supreme Emperor.

Zhu Qiyuan has been King Jing for thousands of years, and even has a son, so it is not appropriate to continue to sit on the seat of King Jing.

Old Zhu Zhudi and others were all crowned kings, such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Gaoxu and others retained their original titles. Some people are happy and some are worried about this!
"Father, how does it feel to be King Yan again?"

Zhu Gaoxu gloated and looked at Zhu Di with great joy.

Let your old man draw big cakes for me all day long, fooling me, this is all right, you are the king, and I am also the king, no one is superior, let's see how you fool me.

Zhu Di didn't bother to talk to Zhu Gaoxu, his old face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water, already extremely annoyed.

It's shameful enough to be defeated by one's direct descendants, and to be crowned king by one's own descendants. His old face has been thrown to his grandma's house.

"Second, if you want to ask for a beating, just keep messing around."

Zhu Di gave Zhu Gaoxu a hard look, this guy didn't go to the house for three days, and if he didn't give him a deep lesson, Zhu Gaoxu almost couldn't tell who was the father and who was the son.

He is indeed not the emperor anymore, but it is still easy to deal with Zhu Gaoxu. The cultivation level of the Taiyi Celestial Immortal can press Zhu Gaoxu on the ground and rub it ten thousand times.

Zhu Gaoxu shrank his neck, not daring to provoke Zhu Di's sensitive nerves.

After arranging the old Zhu Zhudi and others, Zhu Houzhao immediately turned his attention to the ministers of the various dynasties, feeling a little headache.

How the ministers of various dynasties deal with it is a rather troublesome issue.

If he gave too much, his direct ministers would feel unbalanced, and if he gave too little, the ministers of all dynasties would make trouble again.

Xu Da, Tang He, Lan Yu, Zhang Fu and other generals who are still locked in the sky prison can arrange for them to be released to guard one side.

However, the civil servants and ministers of various dynasties can't let them go outside, let alone use them inside.

Zhu Houzhao is not at ease if he is sent out to be an official in the local area. Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and his ilk, none of them are simple characters. If they are released outside, God knows what will happen.

If he stayed in the court and listened to him, what would his ministers think? The emperor valued the ministers of the subjugated country, but did not pay attention to them, the local pillars, which would easily lead to a situation where the monarch and his ministers were alienated.

Zhu Houzhao can also choose to abandon it, but Zhu Houzhao is reluctant. Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Sanyang, Xia Yuanji, Yu Qian and others are all people with extraordinary abilities. It is a great pity that they cannot be used for themselves.

use?Need not?

After weighing it over and over again, Zhu Houzhao decided to use it, but how to use it is another matter.

"You are all famous ministers of various dynasties, and your abilities are beyond doubt. I also appreciate you very much, but you have not made an inch of contribution to this dynasty. Even if I have great expectations for you, it is not easy to entrust important tasks as soon as you come."

"This year's Enke Exam will be held in the near future. If you are interested in serving the dynasty, you can sign up for it. I will choose the best."

Hearing this, the faces of the ministers of various dynasties changed as if they were singing operas in the Jianghu.

Before the dynasties were destroyed, they were all important officials in the dynasties, powerful and majestic. Zhu Houzhao actually asked them to compete with a group of young scholars for scientific examinations. How could they have any face?
At first, they thought that Zhu Houzhao would entrust them with important tasks. After all, these people were either the chief assistant of the cabinet, the second assistant, or the six ministers.

But they never expected that Zhu Houzhao would treat talented people so slowly and treat them like nothing.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's indifferent face, the ministers of various dynasties who already had prejudice against Zhu Houzhao plummeted in their impression of Zhu Houzhao.

"It's a blessing or a curse for such a ruthless king to be in charge of the Great Ming Dynasty."

Li Shanchang sighed secretly, his dissatisfaction was like a river roaring, impacting his proud heart.

Relying on his status as the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang thought that even if Zhu Houzhao didn't grant him a duke or title, he should be given the position of chief minister of the cabinet. He never thought that Zhu Houzhao didn't like him at all.

In Li Shanchang's view, Zhu Houzhao sent him, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, to participate in the scientific examination, just to slap him in the face and not give Li Shanchang face.

Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian, Liu Sanwu, Lu Chang, Zhan Hui and other famous Hongwu officials were also quite dissatisfied, but not as strongly as Li Shanchang.

Due to Zhu Houzhao's accumulated prestige, although the ministers of various dynasties had various dissatisfaction, they did not dare to express it, fearing that they would be killed.

But the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. There is always one who is not afraid of death and dares to tease Zhu Houzhao's tiger whiskers.

"Your Majesty, all of you present here are all famous ministers of the dynasty. Your Majesty asked them to take part in the scientific examination with the young scholars. Whether they have passed it or not, your lords are also dignified people, so how should you behave if you spread the word?"

Zhu Houzhao took a closer look and instantly recognized the identity of the person who spoke.

Xie Jin, one of the three great talents of Ming Dynasty who is as famous as Yang Shen.

"If you don't have any merit, you want to be in a high position. Is there any reason in the world!"

Zhu Houzhao said coldly.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Since ancient times, the selection of talents by sages should not be judged by their merits, but their own talents should be valued."

Taichang jumped out towards Ye Xianggao, citing scriptures and talking eloquently in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"During the Warring States Period, Shang Yang entered Qin alone. At that time, Shang Yang was just a bastard and had never become famous at home and abroad. Qin Xiaogong did not despise him because of this. Instead, he entrusted him with important tasks, and only then did he have the great Qin that unified the six countries."

"In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Kongming devoted himself to farming in Nanyang. Emperor Zhaolie visited the thatched cottage three times and asked him. Kongming was grateful for Emperor Zhaolie's sincerity, so he went out to help. Emperor Zhaolie had not yet made a fortune at that time, but handed over all the power to Kongming."

Ye said a lot to Gao Balaba, most of which were nonsense, and only one core point was revealed.

We people are very capable, comparable to Shang Yang of the Great Qin Dynasty and Kong Ming of the Three Kingdoms. As long as you give us high-ranking officials and generous salaries, we can help you make a great cause.

It is very good at drawing big cakes, but it is no different from a white wolf with empty gloves!
Think of Zhu Houzhao as the old Zhu Youjian.

All the ministers of the Taiwu Dynasty were stunned, and Ye Xianggao was the No. 1 in the past thousands of years who dared to play tricks in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Those who used to play tricks with Zhu Houzhao died in the wilderness of Liaodong in all likelihood.

Looking at Ye Xianggao with pitiful eyes, the civil and military ministers of the Taiwu Dynasty almost foresaw Ye Xianggao's end.
