I travel through the heavens as a human being

In the Leopard Room, just when Xu Yang wanted to meet Zhu Houzhao, he saw Zhu Houzhao walking out of the palace to greet him impatiently.

After seeing Xu Yang, Zhu Houzhao trotted over and the first thing he said was:

"The Imperial Master's return is so late, but it made me wait a long time."

Well, although this is a complaint, it is more of a joy to be reunited.

Zhu Houzhao's attitude also let the eunuchs and maids serving him know that even after more than a year, Xu Yang's holy family still did not disappear, but became more intense.

It seems that this Imperial Master will also be a very popular figure in the future. They have to be careful not to offend each other.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am really entangled in trivial matters in the mountain gate and I can't get away from it."

As soon as Xu Yang said this, regardless of Zhu Houzhao's reaction, the eunuchs and maids serving around him were shocked.

Good guy, can anyone talk to the emperor like this?

For these people, the emperor's affairs, no matter how big or small, are of great importance and must be put first and completed first.

But Xu Yang only regarded Zhu Houzhao as a slightly special ordinary person. What he called an emperor was nothing more than external status and glory. It only meant that he was lucky. He was born well when he was reincarnated and was born in an imperial family. .

However, these eunuchs and maids had seen the emperor's unusual attitude towards Xu Yang before, and the palace had its own rules, so they did not immediately jump out and accuse Xu Yang of being disrespectful.

It can be said that they saved their own lives. After all, Xu Yang's importance in Zhu Houzhao's heart is not low now.

Xu Yang's previous meeting with him not only saved his life, but also exposed a large criminal group that was plotting against the emperor.

The most important thing is the three secrets that were traded. Under the influence of these secrets, the Ming Dynasty's treasury and his own inner treasury benefited a lot, which greatly solved the court's financial crisis and gave him enough money. Go and squander money without being harassed by courtiers.

After being the emperor for so many years, he certainly knows the importance of money, and he also knows how difficult it is to make big money. The money earned through secret methods can be said to have opened up two strong financial paths for the court.

In this transaction, Zhu Houzhao only paid for the right to read Ouchi's arsenal, so he thought that he, Zhu Houzhao, made a lot of money in this transaction.

Moreover, Xu Yang is not a simple person now. Apart from the position of national master bestowed by the imperial court, Zhu Houzhao has to pay attention to Xu Yang's own achievements.

The leader of the martial arts alliance and an innate master.

No matter which identity he has, he is worthy of Zhu Houzhao's win over.

The leader of the martial arts alliance is the one who can order the entire martial arts world. Although there may be some discounts after issuing orders, the leader of the martial arts alliance has the right to do so. With the absolute advantage, who dares to openly disobey the leader's orders? .

Moreover, the current martial arts world is already preparing to expand outside the region under the call of the Huashan Sect. Under the leadership of the martial arts leader, it is going to develop outside the Ming Dynasty.

For such things, the imperial court not only would not set up obstacles, but was also very supportive.

After all, most people in the world have irritable and surly personalities. They will draw swords against each other at the slightest disagreement and fight endlessly.

Moreover, many people rely on their martial arts skills to act tyrannically and cause trouble; or they simply become bandits, robbing homes and homes, and become mountain kings who commit all kinds of bandits and robbers; even worse, they cooperate with rebels, assassinate court officials, and have evil intentions.

It can be said that more than half of the public security cases in the Ming Dynasty were related to people in the Jianghu. If these people in the Jianghu turned their attention to outside the territory and went to develop outside the territory, not only would the security of the court be peaceful, but many conflicts would be avoided.

Moreover, those people in the world who went to work outside the territory could also serve as pioneer spies, laying the foundation for the imperial court's future expansion.

You must know that Zhu Houzhao was a rare Emperor Wu. He loved military affairs and was never afraid of wars. He was even happy to hear about wars. His biggest dream was to become an emperor like Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Taizong Zhu Di who could expand territories. Emperor Wu.

However, the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty was declining day by day, the national treasury was not enough, and the military equipment of the court was depleted. Coupled with the opposition of the court officials, Zhu Houzhao could only suppress his thoughts.

That is to say, King Ning's rebellion gave him a chance to fight. In fact, Jinyiwei had already discovered the news of King Ning's rebellion and passed it on to Zhu Houzhao, but he suppressed it. He really wanted to see this King Ning What a storm it can cause.

Moreover, Prince Ning's rebellion could satisfy his dream of fighting, and also allow him to see how many people in the court had evil intentions.

It is a pity that the emergence of Wang Yangming broke Zhu Houzhao's wishful thinking and made him very angry, so he unexpectedly suppressed Wang Yangming.

And now Xu Yang's secret method has made both the court and himself rich, and he has even sent people from the martial arts world to develop outside the territory, preparing him for the possibility of launching an expansion war in the future. Why can't such a martial arts leader get the title of The Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao paid great attention to it.

The strength of Xu Yang's innate master is even more remarkable. Only Dongfang Bubai and Xu Yang in the entire world have reached this level, but no one in the entire palace can achieve such an achievement.

Moreover, innate masters have great power within themselves. Once they decide to kill someone, unless that person evades in advance, there is no way to survive. Even if they are protected by thousands of troops at all times, the number of people does not mean much to innate masters. .

It can be said that Xu Yang, an innate master, can actually endanger Zhu Houzhao's life.

Of course, such a powerful person must win over him. If he can win over him and use it for his own use, it will definitely be an extremely sharp blade.

It is precisely because of these contributions and achievements of Xu Yang that Zhu Houzhao never forgets Xu Yang so much. Isn’t this why Zhu Houzhao said with a serious face just after Xu Yang finished speaking:
"The Imperial Master has saved my life and made great achievements in the Ming Dynasty. He is also worshiped by me."

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao clasped his fists and bowed to Xu Yang, and Xu Yang was not a fool. Of course he would not just ask Zhu Houzhao to worship him. After all, he was an emperor, and there were so many people around him.

So before Zhu Houzhao could bend down, Xu Yang grabbed his hands and told him not to bow. At the same time, Xu Yang said:

"Your Majesty is too polite. Xu just wants to help all sentient beings in the world."

Well, Xu Yang's words were not very polite. He bluntly said that he did these things not to please the emperor, but for the sake of the common people in the world.

Zhu Houzhao was not dissatisfied with this. In any case, it was him who benefited as an emperor, and he still had some tolerance.

After Zhu Houzhao was dragged by Xu Yang, he stood up and stopped insisting. Instead, he directly entered the hall arm in arm with Xu Yang and gave an order:
"Come here, bring me the gift I prepared for the Imperial Master."

Then I saw a eunuch carrying a tray into the hall. What was presented was nothing else but a long sword. I saw that the hilt of the long sword was green and entwined with gold threads. The scabbard was golden and also carved with dragons. The phoenix looks extremely luxurious.

When the eunuch came closer, Zhu Houzhao picked up the long sword, and then said "Canglang!" and slightly unsheathed the long sword, revealing the snow-white blade. After taking a look, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and then Then he said to Xu Yang:
"I know that the Imperial Master comes from a famous family and has excellent swordsmanship. I specially asked someone to forge such a sword and give it to the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master might as well give it a try and see if it works well." "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Xu Yang took the sword from Zhu Houzhao and didn't care much that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was in front of him. He took out the long sword and observed it carefully.

I saw that the blade of this sword was like snow, the sword body was like scales, and the whole body exuded a sharp cold air, making people look intimidated. On the sword body, there were also two official script characters "Qingyuan" engraved on it.

While Xu Yang was observing the sword, Zhu Houzhao, who was next to him, also introduced the origin of the sword to him.

This Qingyuan sword is made of meteorite iron as the main material, mixed with a hundred golds, and is made using the royal casting secret method, which takes a hundred days and nights to complete.

After the sword was cast, it could not only blow and break hair, but also chop thirty-three arm-thick iron pillars without causing any damage to the blade. It was also surprisingly elastic. The tip of the sword was bent above the hilt, and it had no problem when it was released. .

Xu Yang'er was not very moved after hearing Zhu Houzhao's introduction. He naturally had his own unique opinions on the quality of swords.

I saw Xu Yang holding the Qingyuan Sword horizontally in front of him, flicking it with his fingers, and then there was a long sword cry from the long sword, which was clear and melodious, like the breeze blowing on his face.

Xu Yang's hand holding the hilt of the sword felt the vibrations, his ears listened to the buzzing sound, and he used his innate internal power to input it to explore.

After so many methods, all he got was good feedback, so Xu Yang was sure that this sword was indeed a sword.

It just so happens that Xu Yang still doesn't have a suitable sword in his hand. Although there are many swords on Mount Hua, there are only a few that can be called swords, and none of them can beat this sword.

Moreover, according to Xu Yang's investigation just now, this sword can perfectly carry the innate true energy and will not cause damage to the internal fine structure of the sword body, making it very suitable for use by an innate master like him.

Zhu Houzhao was also very happy after seeing Xu Yang accept the sword, and then gave Xu Yang many rewards, including mansions, gold, and beauties, which were all commonplace.

The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao returned the title to Xu Yang, and also issued a special decree to confer the title of "Wuhou", and he could not worship the emperor but treat his ministers as equals.

After such an operation, Zhu Houzhao was full of sincerity in wooing Xu Yang.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's reward, Xu Yang also understood Zhu Houzhao's little intention to win over, but he was not disgusted. After all, he also wanted to use the Ming Dynasty court to complete his own ideas. It was mutual benefit for everyone.

But looking at Zhu Houzhao's efforts to win over him with rewards, anyone who says Zhu Houzhao is stupid is definitely a big fool.

Although he behaves a bit absurdly on weekdays, that's just because he has character and is unique, but he is definitely not stupid. How can a fool secure the throne?

I haven't seen that this person uses a variety of methods to win over people, including playing emotional cards and giving benefits, and his methods are no weaker than those of the wise kings in history.

After Zhu Houzhao announced the reward, Xu Yang said to Zhu Houzhao with a smile:
"Thank you for your majesty's reward. Xu also prepared a gift for your majesty this time. I hope your majesty will accept it."

"Oh, I have to take a good look at the gift the Imperial Master brought me."

Zhu Houzhao looked surprised, but also looked expectant. After all, Xu Yang had given him a lot of surprises before and helped him a lot, so he was quite looking forward to the gift Xu Yang said.

Then Xu Yang took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms and handed it to Zhu Houzhao.

After taking the paper and taking a look at it, Zhu Houzhao's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face was full of surprise. He stood up in surprise and asked eagerly:
"National Master, what is written above is true!"

"Not a lie."

"Where is this thing?"

"I have sent Huashan disciples to transport it. I think your majesty should be able to see this thing after half a month."

"No, this thing is too valuable and involves serious matters. I would like to send the royal guards to escort it. What do you think of the Imperial Master?"

"What your Majesty said is true."

After seeing Xu Yang nodding in agreement, Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered the eunuch waiting next to him:

"Quickly send the commander of the Jinyi Guards to come see me."

In fact, Xu Yang's gift to Zhu Houzhao was nothing else, but a few carts of potatoes obtained from the Western Regions by the Huashan Caravan.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the yield and use of potatoes.

Although the yield of potatoes in this era was not as large as that of later generations, and there was no corresponding detoxification technology.

However, compared to other crops, the yield of potatoes is already quite large, and regarding potato detoxification technology, Xu Yang was reading novels in his previous life, and had discussed this issue with his book friends, and he also had a good understanding of how to detoxify potatoes through local methods.

It was precisely because of this confidence that Xu Yang took out crops like potatoes.

The commander of the Jin Yiwei came and left again. He came in a hurry and left even more hastily.

On the third day after Xu Yang returned to the capital, Zhu Houzhao suddenly issued an order to send the current admiral of the Shenji Camp to Jinyiwei Prison for corruption and incompetence, and appointed Wu Hou Xu Yang as the admiral of the Shenji Camp. And given the king's order flag, he can do things easily.

The order without warning made the courtiers confused about Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

Although there was considerable opposition among the ministers and civil servants, Zhu Houzhao ignored it and forcibly passed the resignation.

The courtiers could only hold their noses and admit it. Who asked them to deal with such a maverick emperor like Zhu Houzhao? You must know that the major conspiracy case is not over yet, and no one wants to be implicated. .

Then the ministers became quite curious about the returning Xu Yang.

They still knew something about this Imperial Master. After all, Xu Yang had done great things before, but he didn't keep it secret. After such a long time, it was natural that the courtiers had found out about it. (End of chapter)
