Chapter 195 The Emperor’s Credibility
Guo Bujing and Er Cao bowed their heads silently. They also belong to the category of fools.
No wonder they believed in such incredible things.
It is incredible that His Majesty has come all the way.
"Spread the news, I haven't broken through to the realm of heaven and man yet, I just have a breakthrough in a magical skill." Zhu Houzhao said depressedly, feeling a little embarrassed.
He immediately added proudly: "Also, although I have not made a breakthrough, my strength is no longer weaker than the realm of heaven and humans.
And within two years, I will definitely be able to break through to the realm of heaven and humans.
At that time, I will be invincible in the world, and no one will be my opponent."
Guo Bujing and the other three are naturally willing to believe this, but will they say it directly? Wouldn't it be appropriate?
The time when His Majesty broke through the realm of heaven and man should be a top priority secret.
What's more, this is a bit of a pity.
“Your Majesty, now within the Ming Dynasty and even all the countries in the world are talking about the breakthrough you have made, it has a great influence.
You might as well invite the cabinet’s bachelors, several princes, and ministries Shangshu and others came to see how we can reduce the influence and be more beneficial to our Ming Dynasty?" Guo Bujing thought for a while.
When Zhu Houzhao heard it, it seemed to make sense, and he asked people to pass it on to Liu Jian and others.
Not long after, the cabinet, military cabinet, and various ministers all arrived.
When they heard that Zhu Houzhao had not yet broken through to the realm of heaven and man, Liu Jian and others were generally a little disappointed, but they also felt that this was more normal.
Okay, normal what?
His Majesty himself is abnormal in everything.
Immediately, the eyes of Liu Jian and others changed.
“May I ask Your Majesty, are you deliberately breaking through the magical power at this time?
Lead the world to think that you have broken through to the realm of heaven and man? So as to calm down the influence of Jin's policies? Liu Jian asked directly.
After more than two years, they have understood that being honest is the best way to get along with His Majesty.
Others also showed admiration. , with a look of surprise.
They thought so too.
First, it was Jin’s policy that would obviously cause an uproar, and then it was done deliberately, using the power of the realm of heaven and man to suppress it. Unstable, turbulent.
No matter how you look at it, these two things seem to be done together and planned.
The only thing that surprised them was that His Majesty would actually carry out such a scheme.
This is not quite like the Majesty they knew before.
But it’s normal, Your Majesty will also grow.
Just...
‘Is that what I think? ’
Zhu Houzhao blinked, feeling the admiration and surprised looks of everyone, and he felt a little proud.
Immediately, he shook his head again, suppressed his pride, and said with arrogance and disdain: "How could I deliberately do such things as deception?"
"Of course Your Majesty would not do it. , You are just acting truthfully, that is what the people of the world think." Liu Jian's heart condensed slightly and he said solemnly.
My heart is very complicated, and I am quite pleased that my Majesty has finally grown up and has made a lot of progress in his power.
I couldn't admit it, because he asked too directly.
I am just happy and a little uncomfortable at the same time.
The other ministers suddenly realized that, except for a few such as Guo Bujing, they were all more in awe and faintly uneasy.
Your Majesty really knows how to use tactics.
Your Majesty, who knows how to use tactics, is even more terrifying.
Zhu Houzhao enjoyed the admiration of everyone in his heart, but his intuition told him that this was wrong.
"Pa~!"
Putting his hand on the dragon case, Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jian angrily and said disdainfully: "Don't think too much, if I say no, then there is no.
I will never do anything to deceive others. "
Liu Jian and the others were shocked when they heard his Majesty say so surely.
Did they misunderstand?
"Okay, I asked you to come here to tell you how to clarify the facts and have the least influence on the court?" Zhu Houzhao said firmly.
After hearing these four words to clarify the facts, Liu Jian and the others were completely convinced.
Your Majesty really didn’t mean it.
Your Majesty is still the same one who disdains the use of power and tactics.
Suddenly, everyone felt a little disappointed, but also more relaxed and happy.
I don’t know for a moment, do you hope that your Majesty will make good use of his power?
Maybe, I still don’t want to.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, is the realm of heaven and man difficult for you?
How long will it take at the latest?" Xie Qian asked as his thoughts flickered.
Xie Qian would never ask such an extremely important matter if he faced any other emperor.
Asking means that you may have a different intention.
But facing his Majesty, he was still confident and asked directly.
This is a kind of trust.
My unique trust in my Majesty, who just now confirmed that he disdains the use of power.
This kind of trust is shared by almost everyone present.
This is something they would never have imagined more than two years ago.
Zhu Houzhao did not waste this trust, and said proudly and indifferently: "What is so difficult about the realm of heaven and man? I will definitely be able to break through in two years at the latest."
In the hearts of all the ministers A shock, two years at the latest.
How old was Your Majesty then?
Compared with the current breakthrough, it is not much different.
"Your Majesty, I would like to suggest that there is no need to issue clarifications or confirmations, just let the people of the world speculate. In this way, the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty will be more in awe of the imperial court, as will all the countries in the world.
It is also easier for our Ming court to implement policies," Xie Qian said sternly.
The others listened and nodded slightly.
Indeed.
The gesture of not speaking means that they agree.
Even Guo Bujing, Gu Xichao, Li Xunhuan and others think this is good.
It is beneficial to Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, even if His Majesty makes some big claims, it will only take a few years, and no one will be able to determine anything.
"No." Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao loudly refused without hesitation.
The ministers were confused, and Xie Qian said in confusion: "Your Majesty, why not?"
Zhu Houzhao thought about it seriously and said seriously: "If I don't clarify, it means acquiescence. This Just to deceive the people of Ming Dynasty.
Maybe this is good for Ming Dynasty for a while.
But my credibility is gone.
I am the king and father of all the people of Ming Dynasty, how can I have no credibility?
Without credibility, will the people of the Ming Dynasty still believe what I say in the future? Absolutely not. ”
With these categorical words, everyone present had to think carefully.
Gradually, some people realized the beauty of it.
It was like someone who knew how to use tactics and how to use it. The emperor was even more frightening, making them more in awe, but it was difficult for them to maintain their incomparable trust.
Isn't it also a kind of Machiavellian strategy to not clarify?
And His Majesty’s credibility.
This is the most important thing.
Many people of the Ming Dynasty are willing to believe in Emperor Shengwu who has been on the throne for more than two years.
Including those present, isn’t it because of His Majesty’s credibility that they do their best even if their interests are damaged?
At least this is one of the two biggest reasons.
"Your Majesty's holy decree, I made a mistake. Please punish me." Xie Qian immediately saluted, feeling a little ashamed.
I am accustomed to starting from the immediate interests of the court and ignoring more important things.
"It's okay, as long as it's not intentional." Zhu Houzhao said casually.
Subsequently, everyone began to discuss how to clarify what would be most beneficial to Ming Dynasty?
Considering the current situation, we have discussed and discussed, but there is no good solution.
Finally, Zhu Houzhao became impatient and directly asked Guo Bujing to convey his few words.
True, direct, simple and clear.
When everyone heard the content of those few sentences, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Your Majesty, telling the truth about your breakthrough time may cause the thieves to spy on you." Liu Jian said calmly.
"It's okay, I just want to see if anyone dares to stop me?
I'll kill a few of them when they come." Zhu Houzhao said with bright eyes and an extremely confident and nonchalant expression.
"Your Majesty, should we discuss this further?" Ma Wensheng couldn't help but say.
“What are you still discussing? Where do you have so many concerns?
I, the Ming Dynasty, are upright and upright, not afraid of any evil spirits.
You all should be more courageous and don't be so timid. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. "Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said with some dissatisfaction.
The ministers who are 'despised' by their Majesty are used to it.
They will not really obey them completely.
My Majesty has become extremely lawless and daring. If these ministers follow suit, what will happen to Ming Dynasty?
However, the ministers did not continue to object in this matter. < br>
After the matter was settled, Zhu Houzhao immediately asked the ministers to do what they should do.
Guo Bujing received the order and returned to Jinyiwei.
Without any delay, the news spread from the capital first, and other places followed suit.
The Shengwu Emperor did not break through to the realm of heaven and man. The news that day was just a breakthrough in a magical skill. The voices from all over the world did not stop, but only weakened slightly.
"I see, let me tell you, how can it be so fast? That is the realm of heaven and man. Even the Holy Martial Emperor will have to wait at least ten years."
"It is indeed normal that he has not broken through to the realm of heaven and man, but you didn't see Mingfa's imperial edict? Emperor Shengwu said directly that his strength is already comparable to the realm of heaven and man, and he will definitely be able to break through in less than two years.
If you calculate it this way, it won’t take ten years at all, it will only take four or five years.”
“Let’s not talk about the true strength of Emperor Shengwu. He said it can be up to two years, so it is up to two years. Is that the realm of heaven and man, is it so easy to break through?”
“Don’t say it yet, I really believe it, at least until now, Emperor Shengwu hasn’t said it. Even if he tells lies, he is really impartial and impartial. On this point, I really believe it.”
"I also believe that Emperor Shengwu will definitely break through to the realm of heaven and man in two years at most."
"I am willing to believe in Emperor Shengwu, but Emperor Shengwu may also make mistakes. I think Emperor Shengwu wants to It will take at least five or six years to break through to the realm of heaven and man."
"I think so too."
"Ahem, I said, no matter it is two years at most. , or breaking through to the realm of heaven and man in five or six years is unprecedented. What are you arguing about?"
"Yes, I suddenly feel that with Emperor Shengwu here, other geniuses seem to be like that. ”
"Hahaha, you are crazy. You actually compare Emperor Shengwu with other geniuses? Is this comparable?"
"Yes, I have stopped treating Emperor Shengwu as a human being. There are martial arts geniuses in the world." , Emperor Shengwu is the only one, and the rest can be compared."
