My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 200 Bugs
As for Wang Yangming, the former Minister of War, first of all, he was already a cabinet member and was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. According to the rules of the Ming court, after joining the cabinet, the two real power departments of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel could not continue to hold concurrent posts.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of War and the Ministry of Personnel sometimes made up their minds and even went against the cabinet.

With such huge energy, decentralization is natural.

Moreover, Peng Ze was able to wipe out so many foreign enemies and rebellions for the Ming Dynasty, so he was naturally quite capable.

Of course, being too capable is not necessarily a good thing.

As far as Peng Ze was concerned, the reason why Hami bribed the enemy commander to fool the court was because he felt that his best years should be spent in the capital, instead of leading his troops to the wilderness every day to fight with a group of barbarians.

It happened that at that time, Yang Tinghe was in mourning and resigned and returned home. Peng Ze was overjoyed when he heard this. He packed his luggage overnight and immediately told the opponent that he would not fight for the time being. At most, I will give you some money and don't affect my return to the court to compete for the position of chief minister.

Then, Prince Liang, Wang Qiong and others joined forces to seize the matter and beat him up severely. Not only did he not become the chief minister, he also failed to become the minister of the Ministry of War. He even almost went to jail and had to resign in despair. Going home was a complete failure.

To be honest, although there is a high probability that the emperor asked him to come because Peng Ze was closest to Nanjing and he didn't want to completely break up with the Jinling group at this time.

But the moment Peng Ze saw the edict, he still couldn't contain his inner joy.

His long-cherished wish has come true, and he can be said to be full of energy at this moment.

"I heard that you were demoted to your home! You have been fighting for many years, old injuries have not healed, and your health is not good. Now that I see it, I can't believe the words of the world."

The old man known as Mr. Jia spoke. He looked at the two people behind Peng Ze. He was very familiar with the sharp-faced eunuch on his left. Wang Tang, the garrison eunuch sent to Nanjing by the imperial court, was one of his own.

He is also one of the Privy Councilors.

"I am here with the emperor's mandate! Stop talking!"

Peng Ze in front of him had no intention of reminiscing about the past, so he spoke with a smile.

He bowed far away in the direction of Luan Jia, the emperor of Caishi City in the west, and then took the imperial edict from the man on his right who was wearing martial arts robes.

"Your Majesty commends all of you for your efforts in guarding Nanjing, and promises that after the sharks are defeated, the court will give you a heavy reward. However, before that, I would like to ask all of you to assist me, the emperor's personal attendant, and the commander of the royal guards, Wang Zuowang, to solve the problem. The plans of the sharks in the city who are trying to unseal the Nanliang Dragon Vein and seize the secret treasure are——"

Nanliang was the third dynasty of the Southern Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period of China. Xiao Yan, the governor of Yongzhou, replaced the Southern Qi Dynasty and proclaimed himself the emperor, and the capital was Jiankang.The country's name was Liang, because Xiao Yan's fiefdom was in Guliang County, so the country's name was Liang.Because the royal family's surname was Xiao, he was also called Xiao Liang.

Later he was destroyed by Chen Baxian.

They are the ancestors of the great talent Chen Shubao.

The one who still sings about the flowers in the backyard across the river——

Zhu Houcong checked Xiao Yuniang's bloodline, and then ordered people to follow her family tree upwards to find out her ancestor who was famous for being too obsessed with Buddhism and acting openly and secretly during his reign. It was not a difficult thing for Emperor Wu of Liang to starve to death in the palace.

"Your Majesty...he..."

The uneasiness of everyone in front of them suddenly reached its peak.

Although they had an alliance with the Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago, they swore to defend the south for the Ming Dynasty.

But the Ming Dynasty inheritance has been lost for a long time.

Today's Ming emperor may not necessarily recognize the promise of their ancestors.

Even towards these secretive groups who took advantage of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty to control the second capital of the empire and control the taxation of the entire southeastern coast, it is still unclear what attitude they will have.

But some people saw hope in this emperor's edict.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not mean any punishment in his words. On the contrary, he also tried to bribe these officials in Nanjing with rewards.

Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, at least he has not shown any intention to attack them yet.

"The Emperor Mingting probably noticed the strange movement in Nanjing City the moment he saw me -" Next to Peng Ze, Wang Tang raised his head, revealing that although his head was wrapped with gauze, his eyes were the same as those of his colleagues in front of him. The same indifferent expression.

Naturally, when Wang Zuo took him into Nanjing City, Peng Ze pointed out his inhuman identity according to the decree. In the face of the crisis, Wang Tang instantly recalled everything.

How they wandered in the universe, how they came to the Ming Dynasty, how they made a contract with Emperor Taizong, and how they got into the head of this unlucky Nanjing garrison eunuch the year before last.

It subconsciously wanted to escape, but——

It looked at the smiling Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty beside him.

strong-

Although this body fell into coma too quickly, he had no idea how the other party did it.

However, after realizing that the other party was an existence that he could not deal with at all, and that he came under orders, it meant that Ming Ting had become aware of their existence again.

There is no point in continuing to hide it now.

So it complied with the two people's request attentively and took them to meet Yang Yiqing, who was responsible for monitoring these extraterrestrial creatures in Nanjing and was now idle at home.

Then he hid outside the secret room, waiting for Yang Yiqing to convey the final choice of these essentially cold and greedy bugs.

Fortunately - the end result seems to be pretty good.

it thought.

Wang Tang quickly glanced at the chest of the Jin Yiwei named Wang Zuo.

It knew that in addition to the edict in front of it to reward Nanjing officials, Wang Zuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, also carried another edict written in advance by the young emperor.

to cope with the worst situations.

Fortunately, things did not develop in that irreversible direction.

Although their race has many cunning methods, their actual combat effectiveness is very low, and it can even be said that they have almost no combat effectiveness.

Compared to the endless variety of alien species in this world.

But their wisdom is unfathomable, which is why Zhu Di was so relieved to leave them in Nanjing. As the most loyal and reliable tax collectors in the empire, they continued to draw nutrients from the south for the Ming court.

In fact, they do.

Because of the contract, they have almost reached the limit of what mortal bureaucrats can do, and they have maintained a great degree of loyalty and efficiency to the Ming court that far exceeds that of mortal bureaucrats.

Even in the context of the successive failures and shrinkage of the Ming court, they did their best in Nanjing to provide the northern court with all the resources needed to maintain it.

But the only thing that surprised Zhu Di was that although he had expected that Mingting would fall into a rapid decline after losing the dragon vein, it declined to such a degree that even the second capital of the empire could not control it, leaving these insects to take advantage of it. Entering through the void, even Ming Ting did not realize that he was being penetrated, which was still far beyond Zhu Di's original idea.

"The Emperor's holy grace, I am deeply grateful!"

As the first Privy Councilor kowtowed, except for Zhang Jin, who had a strange look in his eyes, the others also kowtowed to express their submission to the Ming court.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Peng Ze helped the old man in front of him, who had lived for who knows how long, and the feeling in his hands was not like a living person, but like a mummy.

"I also ask you to quickly write a transfer order and mobilize soldiers and horses to follow the command of me and the king to capture the sharks who have sneaked into the city. Only careful work will be done!"
