Chapter 47 Night Emperor
"Okay, Father, wait and see." Zhu Youtang smiled kindly.
Without any further words, the father and son left the Ancestral Temple.
Zhu Houzhao returned to the East Palace, and Zhu Youtang couldn't help but come to Zheng Gong.
"Mr. Zheng, do you think we can achieve the desired results in this battle?" Zhu Youtang sat in silence and said softly.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is becoming more and more confident." Zheng Gong said with a smile.
"Oh?" Zhu Youtang looked at Mr. Zheng expectantly, wanting to hear more good news.
"Your Majesty, His Highness's cultivation speed continues to increase." Zheng Gong's tone was full of joy and a little nostalgia.
"Could it be that Zhao'er really belongs on the battlefield!" Zhu Youtang asked with surprise, joy, and a little worry.
"It should be true that this war will most likely be the second transformation of His Highness." Zheng Gong said with expectation.
The last member of the Ming royal family to belong to war and transform during the war was Taizong.
"Mr. Zheng, no matter what, we must bring Zhao'er back safely." Zhu Youtang took a deep breath, looked at Mr. Zheng and said with great solemnity.
"Old slave understands." Mr. Zheng nodded.
"Ahem." Suddenly, Zhu Youtang coughed twice.
"Your Majesty, you should also take care of yourself." Zheng Gong said with a worried look.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, Zhao'er hasn't grown up yet. I will definitely support Zhao'er until the end." Zhu Youtang said firmly.
Zheng Gong sighed in his heart.
···
Late July.
Zhu Youtang called Zhu Houzhao and solemnly introduced someone to him.
"Zhao'er, this is your Uncle Ye. I, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, am a great master, and secretly control the surveillance of the martial arts world.
This time you go on an expedition, your Uncle Ye will also accompany you Thirteen Just like the emperor's uncle, he will serve with the army," Zhu Youtang said seriously.
"I see His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhu Ye, who was still covered in a black cloak, saluted.
"Uncle, please tell me some interesting things about martial arts." Zhu Houzhao immediately approached him familiarly.
Zhu Ye smiled gently and was about to speak when Zhu Youtang spoke first: "Zhao'er, we'll talk about these things later.
Today is for you to get to know your uncle Ye Huang, and at the same time, it is also for you to understand some of the situations that our Ming royal family has laid out in the martial arts world.
Remember, only the Ming Emperors and Night Emperors of the past dynasties are fully aware of these things. You can’t tell anyone easily, do you understand? "
"I am terrified, there is only one emperor in the Ming Dynasty. "Zhu Ye immediately saluted.
"No need, brother, we are all a family, there is nothing to say. "Zhu Youtang smiled nonchalantly.
"Hmm, Dad, what is the Night Emperor? "After Zhu Houzhao nodded, he immediately asked curiously.
"Since ancient times, the court and the martial arts have maintained a balance and harmony on the surface.
My Ming Dynasty is no exception. The Ming court and the martial arts forces have a tacit understanding to a certain extent.
The Ming Dynasty The imperial court will not interfere too much with the martial arts forces.
But I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot really sit back and ignore the martial arts forces, so I have the Emperor Ye. He is the incarnation of the emperor and monitors the major forces in the martial arts world," Zhu Youtang explained.
"I understand. I also want to control the martial arts world, but I can't do it, so I come in secret.
Uncle, how do you monitor the martial arts world?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly became more curious and asked with interest. .
Zhu Youtang and Zhu Ye were both a little embarrassed, but they couldn't argue because it was the truth.
That’s too true.
“We will talk about this slowly later. In this battle, your uncle Ye Huang will always be by your side.
Remember, don’t reveal your identity as Uncle Ye Huang to anyone, not even your Thirteenth Prince. "Zhu Youtang instructed.
"Yeah, dad, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. "Zhu Houzhao immediately agreed.
After pestering Zhu Ye to talk about some important martial arts events, Zhu Houzhao left with satisfaction.
"Brother, from now on, the prince will have to help you more. "Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Ye with trust.
"Your Majesty is serious, I will fight to the death to protect His Highness in this battle. "Zhu Ye said firmly immediately.
"It's not just this." Zhu Youtang shook his head and said with a smile: "From today on, Zhao'er will be your emperor, brother." "Your Majesty!" Zhu Ye was startled.
Zhu Youtang still smiled and said: "My brother is a genius. I know that I delayed my brother."
"Your Majesty, minister—— "Zhu Ye became more and more horrified.
Zhu Youtang raised his hand and asked Zhu Ye to listen carefully to what he said. He said with a bit of freedom and ease in his voice: "I actually know very well that over the years, the power has been inexhaustible, and the authority has continued to change. The loss is far less than that of the late emperor
As my incarnation, my brother naturally cannot go any further.
But Zhao'er is different. After this battle, Zhao'er will become the most powerful emperor in the Ming Dynasty after Taizu and Taizong.
Brother, you can definitely break through. "
"Also, I know that I may not be able to last two years.
It’s better to start from now on. Brother, Zhao’er will be your emperor now. ”
Zhu Ye was startled and couldn't say: "Your Majesty..."
"Brother, there is no need to say more, I have made up my mind." Zhu Youtang said firmly.
“Yes, I understand.”
Zhu Ye bowed solemnly and said solemnly.
He did understand that His Majesty was trying. In this battle, could he use the prince's power to break through?
In this way, the prince will naturally be safer.
But His Majesty’s body...
He sighed softly in his heart and could not say more.
August has arrived in a hurry.
Zhu Youtang secretly issued several imperial edicts to Taoist Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Buddhist Shaolin Temple, Cihang Jingzhai, and Jingnian Zen Temple.
Invite several powerful Taoists and Buddhists to the capital to talk about Buddhism and Taoism with them.
At the same time, some existences that were only legendary in the eyes of countless martial arts people arrived in the capital silently.
On an ordinary hill a few miles outside the capital.
“Zhang Zhenren, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
“Mr. Zheng, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile.
"This time I have to thank you, Master." Zheng Gong nodded and expressed his gratitude.
"Mr. Zheng is polite, but you can speak frankly." Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said straightforwardly.
"Okay." Zheng Gong said the specific plan.
surprise appeared on Zhang Sanfeng's eyebrows, and he praised: "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is more outstanding than what the world has seen."
"Haha, His Highness will definitely not let anyone People are disappointed." Zheng Gongzi said.
"We'll have to wait and see." Zhang Sanfeng said frankly, with a bit of meaning, but at the same time, he was frank and free.
After talking some more, Zhang Sanfeng walked away.
In a few steps, it seems to have merged into the heaven and earth and disappeared.
A flash of surprise flashed in Mr. Zheng’s eyes, what a Zhang Sanfeng!
I'm afraid it has completely surpassed me.
That's fine, that's fine.
Two days later.
"Uncle, I will wrong you this time and follow the army." Zhu Ye said respectfully in a mansion in the capital.
"No problem." The old man waved his hand and looked at the imperial city, with a flash of memory in his eyes.
Two more days passed.
In the Palace of Qianqing.
"Old Prince, I will help you this time." Zhu Youtang said quite politely, even with a bit of respect.
