Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 196 The Ming Dynasty is weak and its rise will take time

Everything is being carried out step by step. Now he no longer needs to do it himself, he only needs to make decisions on major matters.

Now the Ming Dynasty has established a firm foothold and has the confidence to fight with other countries.

Under such circumstances, other countries would not rashly attack the Ming Dynasty and gave the Ming Dynasty time to continue to develop.

From the beginning to the end, his eyes have always been on Kyushu, and on unifying the world.

But in order to achieve such a goal and unify the vast nine states, it is not enough to rely solely on the advantages of land and heavenly beings. A strong army must also be achieved.

To build a brave and elite cavalry, war horses are indispensable, and this is the main reason why he took the lead in targeting Dayuan.

Thinking of this, he also looked at Wu Meiniang on the side and asked: "How is the situation over at Dayuan?"

"Your Majesty, everything is going according to His Majesty's will. General Chen Zhibao is now stepping up training of troops and horses. He has [-] yuan of financial support. There is no big problem!"

Wu Meiniang lowered her head and said with a respectful expression: "In addition, Dayuan has gained a lot this time, and they are all on their way to the capital!"

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction.

There is only one most important thing for Ming Dynasty now, and that is to digest the resources obtained from this war as soon as possible and create an invincible army.

As long as there are no problems on Chen Zhibao's side, everything is acceptable.

"Where is Da Qin? How is the situation there?!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and then asked.

Wu Meiniang paused and said in a deep voice: "Then Ying Zheng threatened to cast the meteorite from the sky into a large cauldron, and the imperial commander came in person to break the rumor!"

"Oh?!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this, and a surprised look flashed in his eyes.

This Ying Zheng is Ying Zheng after all, and I am worthy of being the emperor through the ages.

Such means and courage are admirable no matter what.

However, although this method was beyond his expectation, he was a little surprised.

But for him, it was just surprise.

Now that Ming Dynasty has gradually gained a firm foothold, there is nothing to fear.

What's more, the more Ying Zheng behaves like this, the more excited he becomes.

On the top of the mountain, there should always be one or two opponents, so that you are not lonely.

Being able to compete with these famous opponents in history, this feeling of meeting an opponent in chess also makes him excited.

"What's the situation with the Xiang family and the Mo family?" Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance and said calmly.

The meteorite falling from the sky this time made him firmly believe in one thing, that is, even if Chu has three households, Chu will definitely destroy Qin.

Although it is not necessarily the Xiang family that will destroy the Qin Dynasty, the Xiang family will definitely give Ying Zheng a huge headache.

Especially since this world is a world of mixed martial arts, where one force can defeat ten martial arts, how heroic and heroic should the overlord of Western Chu be when he lifts the cauldron?
Overlord Xiang Yu is an almost legendary hero. In the eyes of many people, Xiang Yu is synonymous with hero.

Although he was a headstrong man who loved great achievements, he let Liu Bang go many times out of kindness.

But these shortcomings cannot conceal Xiang Yu's heroic spirit and heroic spirit.

He really wanted to meet Xiang Yu, the legendary overlord who had no face to face Jiangdong's elders and committed suicide in Wujiang River.

"The Xiang family is still waiting and watching, but the Mo family has almost finished talking, and the old Heavenly Master has arrived at the border of Daqin." Wu Meiniang stepped forward and said.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Very good, according to the original plan, the Mo family is only second, that is, the Demon God of War must not fall into the hands of Great Qin."

The Mohist family was just the icing on the cake for the Ming Dynasty, but the Demon God of War was different.

If the Demon God of War fell into the hands of Da Qin, the consequences would be disastrous.

Now the general trend of the world has gradually become clear, and the rise of Ming Dynasty has been completed.

What Ming Dynasty needs most now is time, time for development.As long as the Ming Dynasty continues to develop like this, it will not be long before it becomes as powerful as the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, at this time, unless forced, he did not want war to break out in the Ming Dynasty.

But he also understands this truth, and so do other countries.

Therefore, there was not much time left for the development of Ming Dynasty, and every minute and every second seemed precious.

Therefore, he asked Chen Zhibao not to argue with the people of the Tang and Sui Dynasties.

Instead, they chose to target other countries, causing civil strife in them and leaving them overwhelmed.

Yet at this moment.

Suddenly, a warning voice came from outside the palace, saying: "Your Majesty, the iron-courage god Hou Zhuwu is asking for an audience!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Zhu Wuli was previously responsible for the imperial examination. Now that Zhu Wuli came to see him, something important must have happened.The imperial examination, an important matter related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as a top priority.

Whether it is selecting talents, improving social status or promoting national development, the imperial examination plays a vital role.

Although this is a world of comprehensive martial arts, national governance and political clarity require outstanding talents to promote national prosperity and development.

The imperial examination is an important way to screen out these talents.Through the imperial examination, poor people at the bottom have the opportunity to stand out through talent and hard work.

In this way, social classes will flow and not solidify, and people at the bottom will see hope.

As a time traveler, he naturally knew the importance of the imperial examination.

Therefore, he left the matter to Zhu Wuli to take charge, but unexpectedly something happened.

"Xuan!" Zhu Houzhao waved his sleeves and shouted expressionlessly.

soon.

Zhu Wuwu held a brochure and walked in cautiously.

"Your Majesty, this is the preliminary list of the results of this imperial examination!" He just lowered his head and handed over the booklet.

Although the results of the imperial examination have come out, there is no look of excitement or relief on his face.

"Weichen has thoroughly investigated every official in the imperial examination, but there is no case of corruption or bribery."

Zhu Wuwang raised his head slightly, observed Zhu Houzhao's face, and said cautiously: "All the examination questions for the imperial examination will be escorted by Hulong Villa throughout the entire process. Wei Chen guarantees that the examination questions will never be leaked!"

Looking at the results of the imperial examination, Zhu Houzhao's face gradually darkened and he became furious.

Without exception, those who came out on top in the imperial examination either had the same surname or were related to people from major aristocratic families.

In short, there is no one who comes from a poor family.

This shows how powerful these aristocratic families really are.

This matter can be big or small, so that those at the bottom will not see the hope of promotion, and the entire country will become a pool of stagnant water with no living water.

The purpose of the imperial examination was to expand the scope and select talents from the bottom.

But now the people selected by the imperial examination are all from wealthy and aristocratic families, and it is difficult for children from poor families to stand up.

It can be said that the imperial examination has lost its original role.

The furious Zhu Houzhao stared coldly at Zhu Wuwu, who was in charge of the imperial examination, with cold anger in his eyes, and shouted: "Are you sure you have checked clearly? No one leaked the test questions?!"

"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated everyone under my command, and there is absolutely no problem!"

Zhu Wu said tremblingly, cold sweat continuously flowing from his head.

He was absolutely speechless about this matter, in front of Zhu Houzhao's invincible power.

At this time, who dares to take bribes and embezzle and offend Zhu Houzhao?

Logically speaking, this should have been an extremely easy thing, but now something like this happened, leaving him very helpless.

Wu Meiniang looked at the list of imperial examinations, and after Zhu Houzhao reprimanded Zhu Wuyi, she said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Everyone knows that Your Majesty will never tolerate corruption and bribery. Who dares to commit crimes at this time?"

"This seems unbelievable, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The Ming Dynasty has been weak for so long, and the people of Li are suffering unspeakably."

"In these troubled times, the people of Li can't afford enough food and clothing. How many people are leisurely studying?"

In fact, this is ultimately due to the deep-rooted power of the aristocratic families, which occupy a huge amount of wealth.

She also comes from a noble family, and is well aware of the secrets and horrors of the noble family.

They didn't have to do this originally. The people who passed the imperial examination this time were all from aristocratic families.

This was obviously intended to give Zhu Houzhao a warning and tell him that the governance of the world still cannot be separated from scholar-bureaucrats like them.

Hearing what Wu Meiniang said, Zhu Houzhao slowly calmed down.

He knew that Wu Meiniang was right. The aristocratic family had huge wealth and good educational resources, so it was reasonable to pass the imperial examination.

After all, even those from poor families who are often said to have noble sons, are from declining aristocratic families, not the real lower class people.

But even so, this imperial examination also made him furious.

Originally he had no reason to target the wealthy family, but this time he was given an excuse.

"The test questions have not been leaked. The easiest way is to take the test."

Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes were cold and stern, and he said in a cold tone: "Those who have very different scores in this exam will be killed."

"As for those talented people, send them all to Dayuan to raise horses. Gold will shine wherever it goes!"

"They should be made to understand the suffering and harsh conditions in this world!"
