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

Chapter 207 The Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas

Just kidding, hundreds of thousands of sharks and those sea monsters with infinite power were all defeated and killed by the Ming army. How can these aliens who are hiding in Jinling and relying on the protection of the Ming court challenge the Ming court? .

Funny?
When these aliens, who had long been frightened out of their courage, heard Zhu Houcong's praise, instead of feeling indifferent or humiliated by being praised by stupid humans in the past, they all looked excited and proud.

It seems that Zhu Houcong hinted that he would continue to work hard in Jinling City and let them go to the north to manage the empire's financial pie in the capital city in the future, which was very useful to them.

Looking at the mutants in front of me, each of them was injected with chicken blood.

Zhu Changning shook his head slightly and sighed, sighing secretly that his father's cake painting skills had improved again and were now at the pinnacle of excellence.

On the other hand, he held a copy of the "Jinling Beauty Book" newly published in the Jinling Tea Lecture Hall, and read it carefully.

Although most people come to Nanjing to enjoy the mountains and rivers and experience the unique local customs, they will not look at this kind of travel guide that is obviously designed for certain groups of people.

I thought these bugs were very good at economics and were a bunch of smart people.

Didn't you expect that you were fooled by daddy with just a few words and couldn't find Bei?
What a bunch of idiots--

Isn’t there a shortage of idiots among aliens?
Zhu Changning sighed.

It seems that during these days of repairing in Jinling, not only do I not have to spend money on food, drink and fun, but I can also add a few more incomes to my small coffers.

"My beloved is so loyal to the country, what a blessing to the country!"

Seeing that the emperor in front of him was very happy, the civil and military officials in Beijing also looked at him in astonishment, saying how could you, Jinling, pay so much money at once?
I couldn't help but burst into tears when I thought about the years of salary arrears that I had just settled this year.

False, must be false!

At this time, looking at the expressions of the middle and low-level officials from the surrounding capital, Zhou Wenyi and others felt that the offer of 2000 million taels might be a bit too much.

But no wonder, compared with the Jinling privy envoys who had mostly witnessed the huge tax revenue of the Hongwu and Yongle imperial court in the south, these Ming officials had watched the empire's finances shrink day by day in the past, and the fiscal revenue they struggled to earn around 1000 million taels was really I can’t imagine what it would be like to take out 2000 million taels of silver and collect it into the national treasury at once.

"Today, Japan celebrates the victory of the army in quarrying. Now that the noble gentry of Jinling generously donates money, it is even more joyful!"

Zhu Houcong raised his glass and said to the people in the hall with a sincere smile on his face.

"After worshiping the Taizu tomorrow, the army will rest for seven days. When the Ministry of Industry brings the warships, they will continue to go south and sweep away the shark nests along the coast."

……

"When Taizu first came to the world, he served the people in the grass and fields. When the Yuan Dynasty was out of control and the world was in chaos, he took advantage of the autumn when the heroes were in chaos and gathered the people to use force. The Emperor He and the Empress of Heaven were blessed by the soil, so they suppressed the riots and established the world. It has been 150 years since I have ruled over the common people... I have raised up the sacrifices of hundreds of gods, and I admire them deeply in my heart. I only worship the Holy Spirit, who is the law of all ages. I specially offer sacrifices and build the mausoleum. The Holy Spirit is not ignorant and appreciates it! Thank you! "

In the Xiaoling Mausoleum, as officials from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites read out the memorial text, Zhu Houcong took the lead in saluting, followed by the sound of ritual music.

Behind them, hundreds of civil and military officers and soldiers kowtowed, and the monks and Taoists who assisted in the sacrifice also shouted long live together with everyone, praying that fate would favor the Ming Dynasty and that the Ming Dynasty would be prosperous——

Although the Nanjing Ministry of Rites arranged almost everything to perfection, it was obvious that someone still noticed the disharmony in this sacrifice.Because the emperor came almost alone. The so-called alone means that he did not bring other descendants of Taizu and the harem, concubines, princes and daughters——

The few clans that came now were temporarily recruited from the vassal fiefdoms around Nanjing to make up the numbers.

But at this time, the officials of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers of Nanjing who were relatively high in sacrificial level and the nobles who accompanied the army did not enjoy the honor of accompanying the emperor and worshiping their ancestors with the emperor at the closest distance.

Accompanying him was his commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, a woman whose face was hidden under a visor and whose identity was like a mystery.

Although people's minds were full of doubts, His Majesty commanded fierce soldiers and had become so powerful in the court that no one dared to raise objections to the Emperor's decision in person.

"Zhenzhen Zhang, your Longhu Mountain has always been close to the royal family. Do you know who is the commander-in-chief of the Emperor's Imperial Army now?"

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Fawei, the Fourth Rank Linglang General of the Qintian Supervisor of the Imperial Army, and the abbot of Wanfo Temple around Nanjing breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the ceremony was over, and chatted with each other before leaving.

"This - Brother Faneng, don't be surprised. The reorganization of the Forbidden Army has only happened in the past two years, and the post of commander has only been established for more than half a year. I really don't know the identity of the commander of the Forbidden Army!"

Hearing the question from the abbot of Wanfo Temple who was already alive for two years but still had a rosy complexion, a shining forehead and a solemn appearance, Zhang Fawei answered with a wry smile.

Although Zhang Fawei, as the disciple and brother of the former headmaster of Longhu Mountain, has a high status in Xuanmen, he is not as good as the living fossil of the Ming Dynasty next to him. He once called the demon monk Yao Guangxiao a brother, and later made bets separately during the crisis.

As a mere stranger to the Hongwu Dynasty, he had almost witnessed with his own eyes the succession of emperors of the Ming Dynasty except Emperor Taizu. This identity was enough to awe everyone.

Moreover, Wanfo Temple has a long history. It is said that Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty dreamed of a god at night and ordered the world to collect Buddhist scriptures and ancient scrolls, and built temples in various places to treat monks favorably. This Wanfo Temple was one of the many temples built by taking advantage of the opportunity. It has an extremely long history. It is not inferior to Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Fawei looked at this old monk who, according to his seniority, called him "grandpa" and took advantage of him. He didn't show any sign of being indifferent in front of the current Celestial Master, his eldest nephew, who was asking for [-] yuan.

Indeed, for this kind of Xuanmen mascot, no matter how powerful it is, standing there is a living sign of auspiciousness. Even the emperors of the past dynasties, except Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, must first pay three points of respect to this person when they see him.

Besides answering honestly, what else could Zhang Fawei do.

"And not only do we not know, our Qin Tian Jian also discussed this person's identity in private, but found that even the senior officials of the imperial court and the nobles in the capital had no impression of this person - even if they wanted to investigate, there was no way to start! This person seemed to pop out of thin air from a crack in the stone——"

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, a flash of thought flashed across the brows of the old monk, known as the Master of Magic Power.

"I heard that during this shark invasion, the Southern Dynasty Buddha statues in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple emitted light to pray for the emperor and the frontline soldiers. Are the rumors true?"

When Zhang Fawei said this, he looked at the old monk in front of him with burning eyes.

This time it was Faneng's turn to smile bitterly.

"It's true——"
