Chapter 410 Zhu Yuanzhang’s Arrangement
Yingtian Mansion, Imperial Study Room.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat motionless at the top of the imperial study room, while his most beloved Concubine Chen Yuzhen and Chen Guifei always followed him with indifference.
At this moment, almost 90% of Zhu Yuanzhang's confidants are in the imperial study.
The first is Nie Qingtong, the leader of the eunuchs whom he trusts most, and the leader of the shadow eunuchs, Master Liowu of Jing Nian Zen Academy.
Next is Yan Wuwei, a layman from Dongchang Stall, a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, nicknamed Night Owl.
Next is Ye Sudong, the leader of the Imperial Guard and the lover-killer.
There is also a group of dragon-slaughters who fly with spears and shovels to spread their feathers.
Finally, Yinfeng Shurangyan, the commander of Jin Yiwei.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who was secretly training him. Shuai Nianzu and Zhi Potian, the two masters of the secret guards who had never shown anyone, did not really show up and were secretly following Zhu Yuanzhang's orders.
His eyes scanned the people in front of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Shrangyan, please tell me."
"It's the Emperor!"
Shurangyan said solemnly: "First of all. The humble investigation revealed that Lu Ye, the Shaobao of the East Palace, has greatly expanded his power in recent times and recruited martial arts masters. A large number of top martial arts masters have joined his sect, including even those in the martial arts world. The famous sword demon Shi Zhongtian and the immortal immortal of the Changbai sect must not be underestimated at this moment."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly.
but.
As for Lu Ye's matter, Zhu Yuanzhang had another opinion, saying: "Lu Ye's own martial arts is invincible. If he were just one person, it would be difficult for me to deal with him. If they gather a strong force around him, it may not be a good thing for us to deal with Lu Ye."
Leng Yan also knows that the martial arts forces under Zhu Yuanzhang's control at this moment are extraordinary. generally.
Just relying on the little martial arts power of Lu Ye's men was not enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang truly fearful.
However.
There was one thing that Lu Ye was very wrong about.
Leng Yan then spoke: "According to the investigation of the humble position, there seems to be some relationship between Lu Ye and Hu Jie, the cousin of Prime Minister Hu. In recent times, a large number of martial arts masters under Lu Ye have joined Hu Jie. Hu Jie's Shenwu Navy. At the same time, the Shenwu Navy added three deputy commanders. Hu Jie's own authority has been weakened to the minimum. A large number of Shenwu Navy dispatched to blockade the two rivers, almost controlling the overlord of the two rivers, Nu Jiao. "
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked calm on the surface, but secretly frowned in his heart.
He doesn't care if a person has great martial arts skills.
But for a man with strong martial arts skills and a large number of martial arts forces under his command, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little wary.
However, the same man also controlled a hundred thousand naval troops controlling the two rivers, and Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but have murderous intentions.
Don't say that such a character is reserved for Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that even at this moment, he himself and the mighty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang might not be able to guarantee that they could control Lu Ye, let alone Zhu Yunwen?
At this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang had fully developed the desire to eradicate Lu Ye. However, he was a talented and strategic monarch, not an ordinary person. Of course, he knew that at this moment, the martial arts forces outside the Central Plains were opposed to each other and competing with each other.
Lu Ye is the only top master in the Central Plains martial arts who can fight against Pang Ban from outside the territory. Under such circumstances, Lu Ye must not be easily dealt with.
Otherwise, it will be of no benefit to you to break the balance.
And.
The most important thing is that Lu Ye's martial arts is too strong. If he doesn't beat him to death once, he may face Lu Ye's revenge.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was not completely sure that he could resist this kind of revenge.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought for a while. With his skill and knowledge, he could not think of a way to deal with Lu Ye, so he could only let this matter go completely for the time being.
At this moment.
Lu Ye, who apparently belongs to the East Palace forces, is like the ghost king Xu Ruowu under Zhu Yuanzhang.
Xu Ruowu has high martial arts skills and a large amount of power in the imperial army. Therefore, he has always been unruly and unruly, and even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it seriously.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was running counter to his own political policy, but he had no way to devote all his efforts to attack the ghost king Xu Ruowu.
It is also true that a large amount of power belonging to King Yan and Xu Ruowu has been retained, leaving them with the opportunity to fight back.
And Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't even deal with the Ghost King Xu Ruowu, so how could he deal with Lu Ye at this moment?
Lu Ye has Shenwu navy outside, countless masters inside, and he also has some court officials and famous military generals in his hands.
Coupled with his own peerless martial arts, he has faintly transformed into another nothingness.
"You can only make excuses, but you can never confront him head-on!"
Zhu Yuanzhang compared Lu Ye with Xu Ruowu. At this moment, the two people under his control were almost identical, both of whom were serious concerns.
Later.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a look at his second confidant, Ye Sudong, the commander of the imperial guards and the murderer of love.
Ye Sudong has always been a bridge between the imperial court and righteous masters.
Headed by Ye Sudong, the Eight Righteous Sects of the Central Plains have always aimed to fight against Pang Ban from outside the territory. At this moment, the time to deal with Lu Ye is not yet ripe, but to deal with the magician Pang Ban and the countries outside the territory under their control, it should What is the situation?
Ye Sudong knelt down in fear and said loudly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I, the Eight Righteous Sects and the Imperial Guards, are indeed responsible for confronting Pang Ban and preventing the extraterritorial coalition forces from entering the Central Plains. However, ..."
Ye Sudong said: "Your Majesty does not know. Not long ago, there was a dispute between Cihang Jingzhai and the Eastern Palace forces led by Lu Ye. There was a dispute over the issue of fighting against Pang Ban. The Eight Righteous Paths The sect was divided into two, and most importantly, the two strongest masters among the eight sects were also divided into two and parted ways. At this moment, the power of the eight sects had been greatly weakened. Moreover, the magician Pang Ban and his. The strength of the disciples is far beyond our estimation. Unless we rely on Lu Ye, our little strength is no match for Pang Ban."
"That is to say!"
< br>Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You Imperial Guards, and even the alliance of eight factions behind you, can't deal with Pang Ban at all? Right?"
Ye Sudong threw his body into disbelief and said: "This is a humble position and incompetent!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you are incompetent and have nothing to do with it. How could I not know the power and power of Pang Ban? If you can deal with it, , I felt strange instead.”
First it was nothing.
Next is Lu Ye.
Then Pang Ban!
All three of these people will be Zhu Yunwen's biggest concern when he ascends the throne in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Ye Qing knows the specific whereabouts of Pang Ban at this time. Is he also on his way to the capital?"
"Yes!"
Ye Su Dong said: "Pang Ban entered the Central Plains and lost twice, especially the last time. He was seriously injured and was almost killed on the spot by Lu Ye and Li Ruohai. However, this person was extremely arrogant. Under such a situation, he still led a large number of The masters rushed to Yingtian Mansion, seeming to want to have a final decisive battle with all forces in Yingtian Mansion."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Pang Ban is really brave, he is just Lu Ye, he has already. He couldn't cope with it, but he dared to enter Yingtian Mansion. Didn't he know that Lu Ye's men only possessed some of the power of the Bai Dao and most of the underworld? However, after entering Ying Tian Mansion, he was about to face other people besides Lu Ye. With the two holy places of Ghost King Xuruowu and Zhengdao, my Jinyiwei, Dongchang... and other masters and armed forces, how can Pang Ban be sure that we will not attack him in groups? ?”
Everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, Li Wu from Jing Nian Chanyuan spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know something. We Buddhist masters got some news not long ago, and we know that the magician Pang Ban has not completely entered Yingtian Mansion. At that time, people were secretly sent to contact the experts from all walks of life in Yingtian Mansion, and they joined forces!”
“Indeed!”
Liao Wudao: “For Pang Ban, Yingtian Mansion, It is like a dragon in a tiger's den, and may be strangled by the people from the Central Plains martial arts at any time."
"But Yingtian Mansion is also the place where the dragon rises!"
Liao Wu said in a deep voice. : "A large number of the top martial arts forces in the world have gathered in this place. If Pang Ban can really win over several forces to form an alliance with him, he might be able to turn defeat into victory and compete with Lu Ye again."
"Hmph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully: "I would like to take a look and see who Pang Ban wants to contact. Is it the Taisun Party, the Yanwang Party, or neither party? But someone who belongs to me?”
“Your Majesty, it’s the Taisun Party!”
Le Wu said in an understatement.
“What?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was rarely surprised and said loudly: "Master Liaowu, do you know what you are talking about? You said that Taisun Party and Pang Ban colluded. How is this possible?"
In today's martial arts world, I am afraid that no one has I don’t know the relationship between Lu Ye and Pang Ban.
Two people can be said to be fighting to the death. Each other dreams of killing each other.
And Lu Ye can be said to be an out-and-out member of Taisun's party, and one of the strongest forces under Taisun.
With Lu Ye in front, how could Pang Ban get in touch with the Taisun Party and be reused? This was simply impossible?
"This matter is absolutely true."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed unwilling to believe it, Liao Wu once again produced practical evidence. Said: "We in Jing Nian Chanyuan have got the real news about the alliance between the East Palace and the Magician's Palace. The three masters of the Eastern Palace, Keqing, Grandmaster Shuiyue, Lengmu Zizuo, and Izumi Ichiro, have successively met with the Magician Pang Ban. After getting in touch, the two parties even established a series of transactions."
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said: "The forces under Yun Wen are complicated, and most of them have no loyalty to Yun Wen at all. At this moment, Pang Ban. The alliance with Japan should have nothing to do with Taisun, but was the plan of the external forces. The two forces under Yun Wen spontaneously started fighting. This was not a bad thing for Yun Wen to stabilize his strength. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment.
Lu Ye and Japan competed, and Japan united with Pang Ban and Lu Ye to compete. The two sides formed a balance. The situation in front of them turned out to have more advantages than disadvantages!
Zhu Yuanzhang once again looked at the leader of the Jiao-slaying group under his command - Zhan Yu with spears and shovels flying in pairs.
Zhan Yu is one of the top ten masters on the black list. He is at the level of Fan Liangji and Feng Han, and his martial arts are very extraordinary.
On the surface, he is Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinate, but in fact he is Shan Yuru's ally.
At this moment, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang asking questions.
Zhan Yu took two steps forward and said calmly: "Since receiving the emperor's order, I have been working hard to plan a way to deal with the Nujiao Gang. If it is just the Nujiao Gang, even Ling Zhantian With the rise of the gang, there are a lot of rising stars, and they are not in Zhan's hands. However, since Pang Ban invaded the Central Plains, Lang Fanyun was severely damaged by Lu Ye, and the Nujiao Gang has always gathered a large number of masters. There is even Qin Mengyao, who is vaguely the leader of the righteous path in the Central Plains, and has been gathering information for many days. The strength of the Nu Jiao Gang is ever-growing, and there is really no chance to make a move."
Lengyan on the side took Zhan Yu's place. He excused himself: "In the martial arts world of the Central Plains at this moment, if we don't count our strength, Lu Ye, Pang Ban, and Lang Fanyun, the three of them share the world equally, and each of them has a certain fear of the other. Lang Fanyun is not They are not guarding against us, but are wary of Pang Ban and Lu Ye. The Nu Jiao Gang has gathered strength with the purpose of countering Pang Ban or Lu Ye. It can be imagined how powerful the power they gathered is. No wonder Zhan Yu can't find it. The opportunity comes to take action."
Zhu Yuanzhang is not an unreasonable person.
After hearing what the two people said, they also knew that Zhan Yu was not to blame for this incident.
Suddenly.
Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic and asked: "Master Liao Wu, has he ever met Miss Qin Mengyao, the contemporary descendant of Cihang Jingzhai?"
Liao Wu of Jing Nian Zen Temple instinctively had a bad feeling. , but still answered bravely: "The poor monk has been living in the deep palace for a long time and has never left the palace. If Your Majesty has never seen him, then the poor monk has never seen Qin Mengyao."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked out the window. In the past, he sighed leisurely and said in a deep voice: "Do you know? It was about 40 years ago, when I was just an unknown little character. It was at that time that Cihang The previous owner of Jingzhai, Yan Jing’an, came to me. I will never forget that day, and I will never forget Yan Jing’an.”
“Her face was so beautiful that it was unbelievable. The noble and inviolable figure, the undulating curves, the seemingly fragile body, the everlasting worry and pain in the eyes... I remember everything clearly, just like it. It’s the same as what happened yesterday.”
“If it were 40 years ago, I would only be grateful and admired for Yan Jing’an. However, things are different now.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "At this moment, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, have become the lord of the world, rich in the world, and all the wealth and prestige in the world belong to me. However, such great wealth and power need someone to share it with me. Jing'an is dead, but Qin Mengyao, whom she devoted all her efforts and efforts to cultivate, is still alive."
Master Liaowu's whole body was shaken.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang said it very euphemistically.
But everyone present is Lao Jianghu, so how could they not hear the hidden meaning in Zhu Yuanzhang’s words?
What great wealth and power does he need someone to share with him?
To put it bluntly, he just missed Yan Jing'an's beauty and wanted to bring this woman into the harem.
Yan Jing'an It was about a few months ago when the Magician's Palace came back to the world, and Qin Mengyao sat in the Emperor's Peak on the 100th day after coming down from the mountain.
This incident is spreading all over the world, and it should not be groundless.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang undoubtedly refocused his feelings for Yan Jing'an on Qin Mengyao in front of him, and developed an unimaginable possessiveness towards Qin Mengyao.
Liao Wu frowned secretly.
It's true that beauty is a disaster. According to the situation they are in at this moment, the two holy places must try their best to attract the power of Zhu Yuanzhang and King Yan to join forces to fight against Lu Ye and Pang Ban.
Under such circumstances, whether they are admonishing Zhu Yuanzhang or protecting Qin Mengyao, it will not be conducive to their situation.
But, if Qin Mengyao is really asked to marry an old man who is about to celebrate his 70th birthday...
Master Liao Wu can only say one word.
If they really did this, what dignity would their two holy places have?
In an instant, Master Liowu felt unprecedented embarrassment and helplessness, and for a moment he didn't even know how to respond.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "I know what you are thinking? Do you think that I am just greedy for Qin Mengyao's beauty?"
"Isn't that the case?"
Everyone present was speechless.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang then said: "At this moment, in Yingtian City, demons are dancing wildly, and there are countless underworld and foreign masters with ulterior motives. At this moment, there is no one who can really trust me. How many people. When it comes to prestige and martial arts, Qin Mengyao is one of the best in the martial arts world today. If I can join forces with Qin Mengyao, I believe that with the strength of the two of us, we will have a great chance of sweeping the world. Suppress all enemies."
"The reason why I plan to get Qin Mengyao is entirely because combining the power of my court and Qin Mengyao's Jianghu forces will help stabilize the world, and it is definitely not a lustful reason."
Everyone pinched their noses, Lang claimed and chanted: "Your Majesty is a saint!"
"That's right!"
After the tasks of the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, the Shadow Eunuchs, the Jiao Slaughtering Group and other forces were completed, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his men. the last force.
Yan Wuwei, the head of the Dongchang stall, strode forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will prepare a birthday banquet for your 70th birthday in accordance with your order and send someone to the small shop. Huaxi welcomes Lian Xiuxiu, the most famous prostitute in the world. When her 70th birthday is held, this world-famous prostitute will perform on the stage to ensure that the emperor will be happy and happy? ”
The so-called number one prostitute in the world, Lian Xiuxiu, is the fifth most beautiful woman among the top ten beauties in the Central Plains.
Although he is famous, he is not proficient in martial arts.
Lian Xiuxiu was first infatuated with Pang Ban, and then she was moved by Lang Fanyun and completely fell in love with Lang Fanyun. Before Lang Fanyun ascended, she and Lian Xiuxiu spent several years together. A loving life.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Nie Qingtong, the eunuch who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, finally found the opportunity to speak and said with great joy: "The Emperor valued the most in the world 5 years ago. The prostitute Ji Xixi arrived late and was taken away by Lang Fanyun. The emperor has always regretted it. Forgive me for saying this bluntly, the famous Lian Xiuxiu is by no means inferior to Ji Xixi in terms of talent, reputation, and prestige. Blessed is the Emperor!”
"Haha..."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said: "How can I be such an impatient person? Send someone to protect Lian Xiuxiu and don't let her get any harm. This matter will wait until the birthday banquet Make arrangements later.”
Although most men are lustful.
But.
Just like Lu Ye and Zhu Yuanzhang, they didn’t just want to get their hands on a beautiful woman after seeing her.
Every man wants to do his best to show his grace in front of the woman he likes.
Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang did have plans to get Lian Xiuxiu, he was not in a hurry!
On the contrary, he planned to give a certain amount of care beforehand, in order to make this woman secretly agree and follow him willingly.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "Who is protecting Lian Xiu Xiu? There should be no problem with her safety, right?"
Yan Wuwei reported: "Lian Xiu Miss Xiu, by her side, has a master who she has helped and is willing to stay by her side to protect her - Qi Bo. Beizhi once checked this person's martial arts background, but unfortunately did not get any results, but as far as Beizi knew, This person has extremely high martial arts skills and is not under a humble position.”
Probably a master who has just entered the realm of a master.
“In addition to the protection of Uncle Qi, I have arranged thirty-six top masters beside Miss Lian Xiuxiu, all of whom are the elites of my East Factory.”< br>
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little relieved, but still said: "Just relying on a master-level master, plus a little bit of Dongchang elite, I am afraid it is still a bit insufficient. You know, in recent times, there are so many masters in Yingtian Mansion. There is no guarantee that some top level masters will not appear.”
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang’s worries are not unreasonable.
Not long after Lian Xiuxiu entered Yingtian Mansion, Izumi Ichiro, ranked third among the three masters in Japan, sneaked into Lian Xiuxiu's boudoir.
He almost defeated all the enemies and completely abducted Lian Xiuxiu.
If Lang Fanyun hadn't happened to be there, a hero saving the beauty, the consequences would have been disastrous.
After Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, he said: "Lengyan, since Lu Ye's power is growing day by day and has become unshakable, you don't need to pay too much attention to Lu Ye anymore. Pass my order and transfer the masters of the Jin Yiwei." , protect Lian Xiuxiu with all your strength, and never let anything happen to her!"
"Yes!"
All the generals in front of me respectfully accepted the order.
Then came Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements for Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu.
In addition to Xu Ruowu, Lu Ye, Pang Ban, and Lang Fanyun, Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu are also close friends.
Before his death, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take these six people away one by one.
As for Qin Mengyao, Zhu Yuanzhang took a wooing attitude.
