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

Chapter 5
Zhu Houzhao's domineering and cold words resounded throughout the hall.

Although these words pulled her out of the endless hell, they also left her shocked and unbelievable.

stand up.

The queen of the Ming Dynasty.

In the harem, there is a being who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, who holds the phoenix seal and is in charge of the six palaces.

And this very noble status is now going to fall on her head.

Long before she came to Daming, she had some ideas about this trip, and she also had her own ideas.

She was helpless, and under the reflection of the women, she was like a green leaf, which could only highlight the beauty of the women.

But even so.

She was still unwilling to be reduced to this, and became an unloved concubine in the palace, at the mercy of others.

So here she is.

After arriving at the Daming Palace, she was cautious every step she took, just to have a foothold in the harem.

Although she was absolutely confident in her appearance and abilities, she never thought that one day she would be crowned queen.

If for a man, reaching the number one spot means a steady rise to the top, a meteoric rise.

So becoming a queen is a woman's rise to fame, glory and wealth.

But she also knows what it means to be a queen.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely serve Your Majesty with all my heart in the future and will cut off any contact with the Tang Dynasty."

Soon, Wu Meiniang also made a decision and expressed her attitude at the same time.

And this is exactly what Zhu Houzhao needs.

Wu Meiniang's surprise was fully seen by Zhu Houzhao, but he only smiled slightly.

The reason why Li Shimin and Li Zhi's father and son in history failed to control Wu Meiniang.

On the one hand, it was because Li Zhi was short-lived, and on the other hand, it was because the Tang Dynasty was just established at that time and its foundation was not yet solid.

Only in this way did Wu Meiniang and those aristocratic families have a chance to rise.

But, in this world.

He didn't have to worry about that at all.

Just because he already controls the most powerful force in this world and is also the top combat power.

Li Chungang.

The existence of an Immortal Realm is enough to suppress everyone and make everyone fearful.

In this way, even if Wu Meiniang is allowed to take power, so what?
Others may not be able to control the future empress, but he, Zhu Houzhao, has the confidence.

"In this case, how would you solve Daming's current situation in your place?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Wu Meiniang and asked with a smile.

Hear this.

Wu Meiniang's delicate body trembled slightly, and she looked at Zhu Houzhao with some surprise.

She knew in her heart that she really made the right bet.

Zhu Houzhao was testing himself and testing himself.

This shows that he will not be relegated to the cold palace, and becoming a queen is not a joke he made on a whim.

It is really very possible for her to sit on the queen's throne.

This also caused the thoughts in her heart that had been suppressed for a long time to ignite again.

Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang took a deep breath, thought quickly, and then said: "Return to the emperor, please forgive me for being bold. The imperial power is supreme, and the Ming Dynasty is just a division of power. The imperial power has always been in the hands of the emperor. The emperor needs it All they do is take back power."

"So now, the emperor only needs to be lenient and fierce. In the palace, with the emperor's strength, as long as the emperor executes Cao Zhengchun with ruthless means, as a warning to others. Cao Zhengchun's accomplices in the court, they are against The emperor's authority will only be trembling, and he will not be able to make any big waves."

"As for the Iron-Courage God Hou Zhu Wuwu, I have heard that Zhuge Zhengwo, the god of arrest, cares about the people and is a breeze. Your Majesty can promote him to restrain Zhu Wuwu. In this way, they will fight against each other and weaken each other's strength, so that the rights will be in line. It will naturally return to the emperor's hands."

"As for the rest of the court, your Majesty just needs to be patient..."

Wu Meiniang spoke clearly and logically about this issue and gave a lot of methods.

These methods are almost all imperial tricks of divide and rule and checks and balances of power.

Can be said to be.

The young and beautiful Wu Meiniang has such an insight into the court that no other woman has.

however.

After hearing Wu Meiniang's answer, Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "You are right. Divide and conquer, and restrain each other. This is the authentic imperial mentality."

"But in my eyes, these methods are just so-so."

"so so?"

These words made Wu Meiniang freeze on the spot, feeling very puzzled.

She racked her brains and thought that this was the only feasible solution in view of the extremely corrupt situation of the Ming Dynasty.

She could no longer think of any other alternative.

For a moment, she realized that she couldn't understand Zhu Houzhao.

"After all, this method is still too slow and too weak. For Ming Dynasty, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

Zhu Houzhao stood with his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. His voice suddenly became louder and his tone became very harsh. "Too slow means that Ming Dynasty does not have so much time to figure it out, and I do not have the patience, and other countries will not give Ming Dynasty this time."

"Too weak means that doing this will only allow me to take power. For Ming Dynasty, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

Hearing this, Wu Meiniang fell silent.

She thought Zhu Houzhao was right.

The Ming Dynasty is now weak in national power, and other countries are still watching with covetous eyes. It is absolutely impossible to watch the Ming Dynasty become stronger step by step.

The checks and balances she mentioned were indeed too slow for Ming Dynasty, who simply did not have enough time.

But haste makes waste, especially in the current situation of the decline of imperial power, blindly seeking speed is likely to cause big troubles.

There was nothing she could do about this situation now.

but.

For others, this may be a dead end.

However, in Zhu Houzhao's view, this is not a dead end.

He ignored Wu Meiniang's expression, but flicked his sleeves, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and said coldly: "What I want is not to take power, but to make Ming Dynasty stronger and become the most powerful country in Kyushu. , and then dominate the world."

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao walked out of the hall unhurriedly, with piercing eyes and a domineering and harsh tone, "What I see is not just a Ming Dynasty, but the entire Jiuzhou. I am not only going to be a wise king of the Ming Dynasty, I want to be the emperor of Kyushu through the ages!"

"what?!"

"To rule the world? One emperor for eternity!!!"

Wu Meiniang's heart trembled. Looking at Zhu Houzhao's tall figure, she seemed to have really seen an eternal emperor.

original.

They were wrong.

Everyone is wrong.

This seemingly incompetent emperor actually cared about the world and was ambitious.

Just when everyone's eyes fell on Ming Dynasty.

His eyes had already looked at the entire Kyushu.

so ambitious.

Such a pattern.

In comparison, their structure is small, and it seems that they are short-sighted.

but.

Throughout the dynasties, there have been countless people with such ambitions. They either became traitorous ministers who were notorious for thousands of years, or they became souls under the sword.

Dominating the world, easier said than done?

Nowadays, there are many powerful countries in the world, including Da Qin and Tang Dynasty. How could it be possible for Ming Dynasty to dominate Kyushu?

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to unify the nine states, it would be a fantasy.

However this time.

Zhu Houzhao slowly turned around, looked at her with a slight smile, and said calmly: "Do you really think Daming is so fragile? Doesn't he have any background?"

The words fell to the ground, the next moment.

A breath of sword armor Li Chungang's breath came out, and a strong and cold sword intent filled the entire hall.

This sword intent made Wu Meiniang feel like she was facing an abyss, like a ray of light piercing her back.

What she felt this time was no longer the heavy oppression, but the chill of death.

"This is……"

Wu Meiniang looked horrified. She felt like a sharp sword was pressed against her neck, sharp and cold.

As long as the owner of that sword intention thinks about it, he will die in the next moment.

Although she didn't know where this sword intent came from.

But she can be sure that the aura is above the realm of the Grand Master.

Neither Cao Zhengchun nor Zhu Wuwu now can compare.

suddenly.

She thought of Zhu Houzhao's forbearance and his confidence.

Could it be from legend?
In this case.

It is not impossible for him to dominate Kyushu.

"Now you still think that Ming's unification of the world is a delusion?"

"Sooner or later, this Kyushu will be in my hands." Zhu Houzhao said with confidence.

And this time.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's arrogant back.

Wu Meiniang was also completely convinced at this moment.

"Your Majesty, let your servants wait for you to go to bed..."
