Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty: Suppress the mythical martial arts at the beginning!

Chapter 77 To get rich, build roads first!

In terms of behavior, try to be as low-key as possible, and don't let anyone catch you.

With their many years of service in guarding Jiubian, if the emperor reduces their military power for no reason, it will probably chill the hearts of the generals in the world.

After arriving in the capital, Ling Luoshi ordered the army to be stationed outside the city.

He himself led some of his personal guards and the other nine generals into the city.

The moment he entered the capital gate, Ling Luoshi still couldn't help but tell Pao Ze beside him:
"This time when you enter the capital, please keep a low profile!"

"This is the capital! The place where the power of the Ming Dynasty is concentrated, there are countless high-ranking officials and nobles."

"If you don't have eyes and cause me any trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ling Luoshi's cold voice came out.

The guards who were still discussing where to go for recreation after entering the city felt a chill in their hearts.

He quickly assured Ling Luoshi that he would never cause trouble.

When they stepped into the capital, they truly understood how prosperous the place where the imperial power was was.

The houses on both sides of the road are extremely gorgeous, and the stalls in the market are filled with all kinds of products that have never been seen before.

Even the pedestrians on the roadside are all wearing exquisite clothes, and their demeanor is completely different from the frontier land.

Talented men and beautiful women abound.

Ling Luoshi held a high position, but he guarded the border all year round. After entering this prosperous place, he still couldn't help but admire it.

And those personal guards who followed Ling Luoshi were even more miserable.

In their eyes, the beauty of the women in the capital was far above the rest.Even the fair skin on his face was something they had never seen before in Jiubian.

Especially when they passed by a brothel.

Those personal guards just stood there unable to move.Looking at the beautiful woman soliciting guests, the fluid in her mouth couldn't help but flow out.

"Tch! Where did the poor settlement come from? It blocked the uncle's way to visit the brothel."

"What are you doing here? If you don't have money, don't stand in the way."

"You're a country bumpkin, you just come to a prosperous place like the capital."

At this moment, an extremely disgusting sound reached the ears of Ling Luoshi's personal guards.

Hearing this, Ling Luoshi's personal guards all became furious.

When they were in Jiubian, except for a few generals, no one had ever dared to say such evil things to them.

Immediately, they surrounded the man in white-faced and brocade clothes who spoke evil words, as if they wanted him to look good.

The man with a white face and brocade clothes was suddenly surrounded by so many soldiers, but he didn't panic at all and shouted:

"Hey, hey, who are you trying to scare?"

"Let me tell you, I am the second son of the Minister of Hube!"

"What's the matter, you still want to be rough with me."

Ling Luoshi would have been happy to see his personal guard and teach him a lesson.

But when he heard the man say that he was the son of the Minister of Hubu, Ling Luoshi immediately waved his guard to disperse.

He didn't attack the person, he just glared at the person with the evil spirit he had cultivated over the years.

The young man who claimed to be the son of Shangshu Hube suddenly felt the aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood rushing toward him.

In an instant, his legs became weak, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he collapsed to the ground.

After Ling Luoshi saw that the other party was afraid, he did not pursue the matter further.

Leading the guards to the palace.

Acting with such caution and caution was the first time that Ling Luoshi had taken the position of general.

This shows how fearful he was of the imperial power.Above the court.

The ministers are discussing government affairs with Zhu Yijun.

The main core issues revolve around the overhaul of officialdom.

When Gao Gong said that he would increase business taxes to raise money, all the officials had different expressions.

Some officials did not expect that the cabinet actually agreed to the emperor's policy.

Some officials were surprised by the cabinet's superb methods of raising funds.

There are also some clan officials whose expressions are changing.They are able to stand in the court hall because of the blessings of their ancestors.

After the death of the big family, they were more or less in charge of many business and trade industries.If the imperial court increases business taxes in order to raise money.The first to bear the brunt is naturally the family behind them.

They naturally raised objections to the law on increasing commercial taxes.

Zhu Yijun, on the other hand, quietly watched the dispute in the court as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

The emperor is like this. He will never speak easily. He is only responsible for standing in a high position and deciding the winner or loser in the end.

At a time when all the ministers in the hall were having a heated discussion about increasing business taxes.

Suddenly, an eunuch in the chamber loudly reported:
"Your Majesty, the terrifying general who is stationed in the important town of Jiubian will lead the other nine generals and return to Beijing to report on their duties!"

"At this moment, he is outside the palace, waiting to be summoned."

As soon as this voice came out, it was like a thunder exploded in the court hall!
All officials, including senior cabinet ministers, were shocked by the news!

The terrifying general, Ling Luoshi!

This person's reputation is also well-known in the court.He had been stationed in the nine-border town for decades for the Ming Dynasty, and now he led nine other generals to return to Beijing to report on their duties.

Why has no news about such a big event been revealed before?
All the officials in the court immediately forgot about the increase in business taxes.

After thinking about it, Ling Luoshi returned to Beijing to report on his work.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng glanced at Zhu Yijun very vaguely.

I saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, his expression unchanged.

Obviously, Ling Luoshi had already expected that he would lead the other nine generals back to Beijing to report on their duties!

In fact, their return to Beijing was the emperor's will!

In an instant, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng both realized something was wrong!
Although they didn't know why the emperor summoned Ling Luoshi back to the capital at this time.

But when this nine-sided tiger enters the court, something big is bound to happen!
Zhu Yijun saw that all the ministers in the court were discussing Ling Luoshi's return to Beijing to report on his duties.

He immediately announced his resignation.

After retreating from the court, Zhu Yijun summoned Ling Luoshi alone in the imperial garden.

When Ling Luoshi was led to Zhu Yijun by the chamberlain, looking at the young emperor with a calm look, Ling Luoshi knelt on the ground with one knee and said respectfully:

"I, Ling Luoshi, will obey my emperor's orders!"

"This time we returned to Beijing with a total of 20 soldiers, all of whom were camped outside the capital."

"The other nine generals are also waiting for your Majesty's summons!"

After Ling Luoshi finished speaking, Zhu Yijun acted as if he hadn't seen him, and quietly took a sip of the tea in front of him.

The emperor did not speak as the breeze blew by, and others in the room did not dare to speak.

Ling Luoshi was shocked when he saw the emperor's attitude.

Seeing the sweat gradually rising on Ling Luoshi's forehead, Zhu Yijun smiled and said:

"General, please rise. This time we are driving back to Beijing from Jiubian. It's a tiring journey and traveling. General, it's been a hard work."

After waiting for a long time, Ling Luoshi finally heard the emperor speak and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
