Chapter 467 The Saint Is in the East! Gentlemen! Let’s Go Together!
In the Forbidden City, in the Wenyuan Pavilion, Xu Xin looked at the report in his hand, resting his palm on the seat and tapping his fingers lightly. After thinking for a long time, he stood up and walked out of the Wenyuan Pavilion and headed towards the Qianqing Palace.
During this period, Xu Xin transferred power little by little to the young emperor in the Qianqing Palace, but at the same time he also mobilized a large number of soldiers and civilian forces to start the Ming Dynasty's war against Japan.
Japanese Japanese pirates have been intruding on the Ming Dynasty for many years. The Ming Dynasty has sent envoys to Japan many times, but the problem has never been resolved.
The emperor of Japan is just a nominal thing, with no real power at all, and the shogunate that is now nominally in charge of Japan has also weakened. The entire Japan has entered the Warring States Period. The various daimyo lords are conquering each other, and they all want to strengthen themselves and lead their armies to Luo to replace the current The Muromachi shogunate formed a new shogunate and became the shogun.
Such Japan's rule at the bottom level is naturally unstable. In addition, some Ming vassal lords deliberately added fuel to the flames. A large number of Japanese warriors and ronin left Japan to burn, kill and loot in nearby countries. This was the original origin of Japanese pirates.
Of course, the Japanese pirates wreaking havoc in the Central Plains are not that simple. It is more likely that some vested interests in maritime trade on the southeast coast are unwilling to be seized by the court, and they direct and perform some tricks on their own. However, there is no denying that there are indeed many pirates.
However, as Xu Xin came to power and opened up the sea, the pirates' troubles along the coast of the Ming Dynasty have basically been calmed down. However, this does not prevent the Ming Dynasty from using this as an excuse to use troops to conquer Japan. After all, conquering Japan in the east must be based on the reputation of the troops and cannot be done. "Unjust teacher"!
"Your Majesty, the Grand Master is here."
In the Qianqing Palace, the young emperor Zhu Houzhao was immersed in his desk and dealing with more and more affairs. Suddenly, a rather shrill voice came. It turned out to be the little eunuch who was waiting for him, who came to report Xu Xin's arrival.
Cao Zhengchun, the first among the eunuchs, was actually not trusted by the little emperor. Cao Zhengchun and Emperor Hongzhi had a relationship for many years, but the little emperor also had eunuchs who were close to him, so on weekdays, the little emperor generally did not need Cao Zhengchun's "service".
"Please come in, Grand Master."
When the little emperor heard that Xu Xin was coming, he naturally did not dare to neglect. He straightened his appearance and waited for Xu Xin solemnly.
After a while, Xu Xin arrived at Qianqing Palace under the leadership of the young eunuch.
Zhu Houzhao watched Xu Xin come to him and said goodbye, then quickly stepped forward and said: "Father Zhong, what are you..."
"Your Majesty, I will leave probably tomorrow. I come to say goodbye to Your Majesty today..."
Xu Xin said goodbye to the young emperor. The report he had just received showed that his army had successfully opened up a situation in Japan. The next step was for him to go and take charge in person.
In the Qianqing Palace, when the little emperor heard that Xu Xin was leaving, he was moved to stay, and repeatedly expressed that he would definitely help Xu Xin.
When Xu Xin said goodbye and left, and he was the only one left in the Qianqing Palace, the little emperor let out a long sigh, relaxed a lot, and finally laughed silently in the palace.
Xu Xin left the Qianqing Palace and rode out of the Forbidden City. However, he did not return directly to the palace, but went to the Tianlao under the control of Dongchang.
The Tianlao under the control of Dongchang is the most stringent prison in the capital. It is nominally under the complete control of Dongchang, but in fact the composition here is very complex and all kinds of difficult prisoners are imprisoned.
On the ninth floor of the Tianlao, Gu Santong, the "murderer" captured by the Iron God Hou Zhuwuwu, is imprisoned. The man Zhu Wuwu captured is locked up in the Tianlao of Dongchang. He can still see Gu Santong at any time. And leaving the master to test, it can be seen that the water here is very deep.
Xu Xin once again came to the ninth floor of the Tianlao to see the ancient three links. There was still no one to stop him. As expected, the son Su Xin gave birth to was still in the Tianlao. The meal was not left.
"Baby face, why do you have time to see me? You must be very busy recently."
As soon as Xu Xin appeared, Gu Santong saw it. After hearing his words, Cheng Shifei quickly turned his head and shrank back, looking at Xu Xin with a sneer on his face.
"You go out first!"
Xu Xin took a look at Cheng Shifei. Although this kid has been half-hearted in practicing martial arts over the years, his martial arts has already reached the level of acquired. Promotion to innate is not a problem for him at all. So, some people are fed by God and are born extraordinary.
Cheng Shifei nodded repeatedly and ran out quickly.
Gu Santong glanced at Cheng Shifei who walked out, and said to Xu Xin: "He is not weak in martial arts now. How long are you going to let him hide?"
"This child still doesn't have a definite idea. Let's wait for him to become enlightened on his own!"
Xu Xin shook his head, glanced at Gu Santong, and then said: "I will leave the capital tomorrow, and I don't know when I will come back next time. But I will not take this child away, and let him look after the old house in the capital. By the way, I’ll send you meals every day.”
"What I want to tell you is that you cannot allow him to use force without my permission."
Xu Xin looked at Gu Santong seriously. This guy has become more and more angry in recent years, which shows that his transformation is about to be completed. According to Xu Xin's estimation, it will only take another two or three years, which is almost the time when the main plot of the original TV series "The Best in the World" will begin.
Although this Ming Dynasty has been changed beyond recognition by Xu Xin, the fate of the characters related to the main plot of "The World is No. 1" has not been affected much, so Xu Xin will let it go and let it develop. Certain things should will happen normally.
Xu Xin was still concerned about the main plot of "Number One Under Heaven", so he had to come to Tianlao in person.
"I know. Goodbye..."
Gu Santong nodded. Cheng Shifei was Xu Xin's son, and he was just a cousin. The future development of the child still depended on his parents, so he could only listen to Xu Xin's opinion.
Before Xu Xin left the capital, he took a last look at the dormant "leek" Gu Santong, and then left without any nostalgia.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Xin, along with the servants and guards that the Wang family had secretly developed for so many years, a total of thousands of elite soldiers, headed eastward. He was going to Japan to establish his own Da Xu Dynasty.
As for why it was called Da Xu, he was the only one in the world who knew the reason.
At the same time, as Xu Xin mobilized the entire Ming Dynasty, what happened in the capital was spread out and known to the public. Countless people knew that the emperor was in power and that Master Wang was taking the overall situation into consideration. Some of Xu Xin's reputation instantly reached a new height.
Xu Xin's reform was successful, and he had many supporters. With the deliberate dissemination of his meritorious deeds, words and virtues, and the vision of peace and prosperity in previous years, voices that Xu Xin was a sage appeared in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and were widely recognized.
"When the sea is peaceful and the river is clear, a sage will appear, and it should be Wang Taishi."
"A sage will appear in the world, why don't we go and listen to his teachings."
"The sage is in the east! Gentlemen! Let's go together!"
Such voices spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and countless scholars and talents went east. The key talent problem after Xu Xin founded the country will also be solved.
