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

Chapter 307 Summoned
After that, he can spare time and prepare carefully for how to deal with the catastrophe that is destined to come a hundred years later.

……

March of the second year of Jiajing.

After nearly half a year, the imperial court mobilized most of the military forces in the north and finally succeeded in destroying the sharks in the east.

The main force of the sharks was defeated under Jinling City, causing the blue sea to turn crimson in March, and the barbarians to flee across the sea.

As part of the army was left behind to assist the local military forces in cleaning up the remaining shark tribes along the coast.

The Ming Ting army originally transferred to the south also began to gradually withdraw.

And the emperor also returned to his loyal capital.

For the first time, he summoned his cabinet members who had been absent for a long time, and asked about the current financial situation of the empire and the people's livelihood in various places.

I heard that for two consecutive years, millions of civilians and hundreds of thousands of troops were used to fight on the front line.

The corvee in the north and the money and food in the south were almost exhausted.

Many places in the world have even experienced food shortages and human shortages.

So the emperor ordered the Ming fleet not to stop after dealing with the remnants of the sharks.

Hanging the heads of mermaids and sea beasts on the ships, they cruise around the seas and countries, proclaiming the Ming Dynasty's military achievements in pacifying the world, and sincerely making peace with all countries, hoping that the friendship will last forever, and that they can embrace the Chinese civilization and abandon barbarism. Bloody methods, rushing towards the civilized world built by Ming Dynasty.

He also ordered the Ministry of Rites and Work to quickly increase the production of porcelain, silk and tea, invited envoys from various countries to return to Beijing with the fleet, and exchanged Chinese specialties for the treasures of other countries. Of course, the most important thing was food to comfort the famine all over the world.

And in order to ensure that this unprecedented scale of tribute trade can be carried out smoothly and not be a stalemate, the emperor also hinted to the officials of the six ministries.

In order to save the common people of the world from the suffering of hunger and cold, and also to help the surrounding countries overthrow the rule and oppression of the evil alien races in the country.

Even the armors, staffs and firearms that have always been strictly controlled by the Ming court, as long as the envoys from various countries who come to pay tribute write a note to ensure that these weapons will only be used to defend their own territory in the future, and will never be used to invade other countries and tarnish the emperor's holy wisdom.

As long as the price is right, the Ministry of Rites can also sell it to envoys from all over the world who sincerely come to the Ming Dynasty to buy it, so as to protect the civilized world that has been bathed in kingship from the barbaric and evil countries.

……

"The princes and princesses of each palace have been waiting outside the palace for a long time, Your Majesty..."

Huang Jin and Lu Fang were waiting on both sides. With the sound of carriages coming and going outside the door, Lu Fang glanced outside. The little eunuch outside the door gave him a sign that everything was ready. He nodded and said respectfully to himself. The Emperor of Heaven on the throne next to him reported back.

Thanks to the nourishment of Xiyuan’s spiritual energy.

Lu Fang looks much smaller than she actually is.

Even though I haven’t received the gift from heaven yet.

But he is agile and has a steady pace.

It is not like the common elderly people in their 60s who still have to struggle for a living in the Ming Dynasty and who suffered from wars and disasters in their early years and are tortured by illness.

At this moment, due to the curfew imposed by the imperial court on the White Lotus Sect, all lights and business activities at night have been banned in the capital since Youshi. At this time, the capital is completely dead and dark.To celebrate the emperor summoning his heirs for the second time this year, the people in the Wanshou Palace lit tens of thousands of torches along the way from the majestic Forbidden Palace to the emperor's residence in Xiyuan.

Although the flames were not as shocking as the thousands of miles of fire clouds and red clouds that people saw above the thousands of miles of waves in the East China Sea at the foot of Jinling City.

But those ancient cypresses were burning all over the palace, exuding an alluring fragrance, and the whale oil collected from the giant whales in the East China Sea flowed with the firelight in the hands of the palace maids, and the palace lanterns where little bits of firelight gathered in one place.

This illuminated the entire imperial city and even the capital, but it still shocked the imperial troops on both sides who were ordered to guard the surrounding area.

Luanjia stopped in front of Longevity Palace in an endless stream.

Those concubines and ladies, who had only met the emperor a few times, were served by the palace maids and wore heavy and gorgeous clothes. The weight of gold and silver on their heads almost crushed their spines.

But in order to maintain the majesty of the etiquette that they had been instilled in them since childhood, they still raised their heads firmly, in order to maintain their center of gravity that was a little shaken by the complicated jewelry and heavy and gorgeous clothes.

He could only hold the princes and princesses in his arms under the nervous care of the maids beside him, and carefully and slowly climbed up the cold imperial steps in front of him, trying his best to capture the precious prince in front of him who might affect the prosperity and disgrace of himself and the family behind him for generations. The opportunity for the descendants to meet the emperor.

Even though today seems to be a family banquet convened suddenly by the emperor on a whim.

Let’s take a look at how his children, whom he only met briefly when they were born, are growing up now.

But no one dares to be careless about it.

People secretly speculated on the truest thoughts in the heart of the holy emperor on the throne, which was as unfathomable as the river and the sea.

But who can really say clearly that although this renegade seems to be ruling the world, in fact he is still determined to be one, and has completely bound the fate of the entire empire to him alone.

Power is just a plaything to him, compared to those emperors in the past who worked hard but were still subject to checks and balances from all parties and could not monopolize power.

The current Emperor Jiajing has undoubtedly completely gathered all power into himself.

For such an autocratic king who was comparable to Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, although he actually controlled the country since he ascended the throne, it was the emperor's staff and cabinet - the actual power was in the hands of the eunuchs and cabinet ministers.

But when I think of the emperor's majestic power, and see how those high-ranking eunuchs and ministers in the past trembled and feared in front of the emperor when they heard the emperor's instructions, and how they turned pale even after they retired from the court, In order to figure out the meaning of the emperor's words, I couldn't sleep.

Who can deny that although the current situation of the country seems to be running stably without the intervention of imperial power.

But in fact, all power was ultimately firmly in the hands of the emperor on the golden platform.

And like Emperor Taizu, holding a hammer and whipping the world?
Of course, tonight the emperor suddenly summoned many heirs, it is also possible that it was just a whim of the emperor who wanted to take advantage of the night to avoid the cumbersome etiquette insisted on by the stubborn Confucian scholars in the court.

After all, in the eyes of scholars all over the world.

The emperor, his concubines, and his heirs were not just any ordinary landlord family in the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor's family is the legitimacy of the entire empire to comply with the destiny, respect the teachings of the past kings and sages, and rule billions of people.

Every contact should be made with great caution, so that the world's civil and military elites can assist the emperor. After countless discussions and deductions, careful deliberation, and careful deliberation, a conclusion that is beneficial to the survival of the empire can only be implemented.
