The old man surnamed Li looked at Ling Tian angrily and cursed.
The Zhu family in Jiangxi is the place where the direct lineage of the sage Zhu Xi is inherited, and it is also the hub where the Confucian disciples of the Ming Dynasty gather together. Although the descendants of the Zhu family do not participate in any Confucian affairs of the Ming Dynasty, it is undeniable that once something happens to the Zhu family,
The entire Ming Dynasty Confucianism could only wait to disappear into smoke.
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why no one in the entire court stopped you when you decided to come to the south? As a Confucian descendant, I may want you to do this, but those who need to rely on you to survive are those who need to live.
Why didn't I stop you? Look at what this guy is saying now. Your Majesty, don't you understand? Because you are surrounded by jackals. Except for doing evil, you don't understand anything else at all..."
The old man surnamed Li yelled at Ling Tian angrily, then looked at Zhu Houzhao again and said.
This old guy is indeed a typical example of an old official. It can be seen that he was extremely angry at this time and even wanted to tear Ling Tian to pieces. However, he quickly restrained his anger and immediately transformed Ling Tian's words into
An attack on Zhu Houzhao’s psychology.
"That sounds nice, but can someone who can use foreign races to go south to achieve his goals really do better than His Majesty..."
A mocking smile appeared on Ling Tian's lips, and he turned to look at Zhu Houzhao calmly.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao followed the words of the old man surnamed Li, with a hesitant look on his face.
This young man actually doesn't want to be an emperor. His character is destined to make him happier as a general or marshal than as an emperor.
Unexpectedly, the birth of this young man determined that he would be jealous of those princes who used all means to fight for the throne in history, and even had different heads and bodies, because his father, Emperor Hongzhi, was indeed an alternative among emperors throughout the ages, with only one queen.
, and there is only one him and one prince.
This determined that whether Zhu Houzhao wanted to be the emperor or not, he could only be the emperor.
Therefore, if another emperor heard what the old man surnamed Li said, he would probably be furious immediately. But Zhu Houzhao actually considered it seriously after hearing it, and he really had the urge to give up the throne.
However, this impulse dissipated instantly as Ling Tian's words rang out.
Foreign races have always been the opponents of the Central Plains peoples, and the Ming Dynasty was probably the most aggressive in dealing with foreign races among the dynasties in the history of the Central Plains. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world by expelling foreign races.
"Today you can take advantage of the foreign tribes to go south for profit, but in the future I am afraid that they will directly lead the foreign tribes to take over the Central Plains for profit. I will never tolerate this matter. It is just a war. My Ming Dynasty is not afraid of war or death, even if it means fighting
All lives are in ruins. I, the Ming Dynasty, will never compromise with any force that colludes with foreign races. I also believe that no matter how much suffering there is, the Ming Dynasty will be able to rise from the ashes..."
Awe-inspiring words came out of Zhu Houzhao's mouth. The emperor, who was in his early thirties and looked a bit like a big boy, now looked resolute.
"Okay, okay... I hope your majesty will never regret it... I also hope that you will never have to face the wrath of Taoism... we retreat..."
The old man surnamed Li glared at Zhu Houzhao coldly, then looked at Ling Tian, uttered two harsh words, and quickly retreated back.
Ling Tian watched coldly as the old man retreated, but his feet did not move at all. At this time, the overflowing part of the combined attack power absorbed by his Star Absorbing Technique had been exhausted when he just killed the old man named Xie, and was included in it.
That part of the body has not yet been completely mastered, and there is no way to ensure that the old man is killed if he catches up, so he simply doesn't chase him.
"Wang Yangming, recall Jiang Bin and Jin Yiwei, Mr. Lin, and then we will go directly to the Zhu family in Jiangxi..."
Zhu Houzhao watched many Confucian masters retreat with cold eyes, and then said in a cold voice.
It turned out that the fight between him and the Confucian people was just because of the disagreement in their ideas. He was a unique emperor, and he was not too angry even when others wanted to pull him down from the throne. However, Ling Tian just mentioned the behavior of the Confucian people.
In essence, the despicable act of taking advantage of foreigners to go south for profit made the emperor feel angry.
There may have been some emperors in the Ming Dynasty who were fatuous, some were headstrong, some were confused, and there were even some weird ones like Zhu Houzhao, but it is undeniable that no emperor in the Ming Dynasty ever made the slightest compromise or concession to foreigners. The emperor guards the country, and the king
The Ming Dynasty has only emperors who died in battle and monarchs who never compromised. This is not just talk.
After making the decision to go to Zhu's family in Jiangxi, Ling Tian and Wang Yangming immediately returned with Zhu Houzhao.
Confucianism retreated for the time being, and the three of them did not know when Confucianism would make a comeback, but by this time, neither Confucianism nor Zhu Houzhao had any way out.
If Zhu Houzhao continues to disappear, the Confucianists will directly introduce a new emperor. If the Confucians do not kill Zhu Houzhao, then when Zhu Houzhao returns to the capital, the disaster that awaits the Confucians will definitely be annihilation.
One day later, Jiang Bin returned to Zhu Houzhao with the Jin Yiwei. At the same time, in accordance with Zhu Houzhao's instructions and Ling Tian's request, Jiang Bin directed the Jin Yiwei to entrust Ling Tian to directly kill the culprit behind the southern rebellion.
One day, just one day, Zhu Houzhao took action, and Confucianism obviously followed suit.
Just when Jiang Bin commanded the Jin Yiwei to spread the news, Ling Tian's reputation had returned to the speed of over two thousand a day.
There is no doubt that Confucianism should have spread some rumors again.
When Ling Tian, Zhu Houzhao, Wang Yangming and Jiang Bin were about to enter Raozhou Mansion, Jiang Bin's Jin Yiwei sent back new news.
The wind in Huashan Mountain is clear, Shaolin Fangzheng, and Wudang are in full swing. Half of the righteous sects in the world are waiting in front of them, saying that they will kill Ling Tian with the slogan of eliminating demons and defending the world.
"Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan, or those big sects of righteousness hide powerful masters like your Confucians?..."
After hearing the news from the Jin Yiwei, Ling Tian's first reaction was whether these sects were like Confucianism. They usually remained quiet but concealed masters beyond imagination. He looked at Wang Yangming and asked.
"I think too much. Even if those big sects have hidden masters, they will never be exposed until the sect's survival..."
Wang Yangming curled his lips, shook his head in disdain and said, with a hint of ridicule flashing in his eyes as he spoke.
"The reason why these sects are gathering now is probably because of the scum of Confucianism. Perhaps, I have roughly thought of what those guys are planning to do..."
