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

Chapter 70
Hearing this, the civil servants present felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The happy thing is that a certain Yan who usurped power and seized the throne shamelessly claimed to be Emperor Taizong, claiming that he was the legal heir appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and that his eldest nephew was succeeded by Jiao Zhao. Even if he has been emperor for several years, it is not counted—— Your Highness - After a hundred years, evil has finally been punished.

Do you think we are fools? Who are you trying to fool?

You see, even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty behind you doesn't believe in your rhetoric of appeasing the emperor and ascending the throne legally.

The worry is, Your Majesty, can we take a look at the situation in front of us and think about it carefully before making a decision?

TMD the rebels are almost coming to the capital!You don't want to think about how to deal with those demon gangs of Taiping Dao. It's useless to think about worshiping ancestors and chasing stars every day!

Although the civil servants are sad and happy about Zhu Di being blackmailed, the brains of this group of imperial elites are still relatively clear-headed.

"Your Majesty respects virtue and respects our ancestors, and he is a role model for us. However, there are small thieves causing chaos around the capital. Should we wait until the Taiping thieves are defeated before leading hundreds of officials to worship Changling? Please also ask your Majesty to order the Ministry of Rites to worship in the southern suburbs first. Heaven and earth, stabilize the hearts of the world!"

On the side, Jiang Mian quickly advised.

According to the news from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the demon girl from Taiping Dao was really powerful in her magic skills. She led Datong soldiers and civilians in the name of "Kill corrupt officials! Collect unpaid wages!", relying on her unheard-of thunder skills and the strength and bravery of Datong elite soldiers. Along the way, they attacked the city and destroyed the stronghold. The local, state and county guards were all on the verge of collapse, and no one could stop them for a while.

His Majesty!Stop playing!It’s really a mess if you play again!
"Our heavenly dynasty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. How can we not respect our ancestors, but go out of our way to respect heaven and earth first? What's more, with the vastness of heaven and earth, how can we care about the worship of ordinary people like us! It's just self-deception!"

Aren’t you cheating on me?bring it on!

Zhu Houcong said righteously when he heard the words.

"Besides, our Ming Dynasty is full of talented people. Is there any reason why we can't destroy a small Taipingdao?"

It’s really not certain——

Jiang Mian and Liang Chu looked at each other, a hint of helplessness flashed in their eyes.

Datong's troops were unstoppable, and the Taiping Demon Girl's thunder skills were equally astonishing.

If they were really allowed to fight all the way to the capital, and quarrel with the imperial court in the distance to ask for wages, no matter whether they succeeded or failed, the Ming court would have lost all its majesty and become a laughing stock in front of the people of the world.

This is not only related to the interests of the Zhu royal family, but also related to the interests of all the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty and the huge network of relationships of the families behind them.

When the risks involved in trying to please the little emperor outweighed the benefits, everyone in the cabinet was silent!
Seeing that everyone was silent, the little emperor seemed to be irritated by the collective silent protest of the cabinet!

"Huang Jin! Here comes the message!"

Zhu Houcong shouted angrily.

"I don't believe it. In the Ming Dynasty, there are 13 provinces in two capitals and tens of millions of people, but I can't find a single person who can pacify this mere demon of peace!"

"Order all the state capitals to select elite warriors who can fight bare-chested against ligers and tigers and send them to the capital! I will personally hold martial arts competitions and select the best ones! The winners will all be incorporated into the Imperial Guards!"

Hearing this, everyone in the cabinet in the audience was surprised.

After experiencing the battle of wits and courage between the two emperors Xianzong and Wuzong with the civil servants on the issue of military examinations, the civil servants were actually a little numb to the emperor secretly recruiting talents and forming small groups behind their backs.

But - directly join the 26th Guards of the pro-military army?
You know, the military positions in the Forbidden Army of the Ming Dynasty were all hereditary.

It was an important tool for the emperor to win over the army and his noble sons.

If your father is appointed as one of the Qianhu in the 26 Guards of the Qinjun, usually as long as you have no congenital disabilities and as long as the Ming Dynasty survives, you, your son, and your grandson will all be able to eat the national meal of Thousands of Households, son. Even when they are just born, they can mix into a hundred households.

Moreover, military positions in the Forbidden Army are very popular. Generally, if there are vacancies, they will be immediately occupied by the nobles in the capital.

Not only are the soldiers who came from the border areas not eligible, most of the time the relatives of these civil servants are also not eligible for this good job.According to the emperor's intention, it seems that he wants to break the original unwritten rules in the imperial city, no longer stick to the capital, but recruit people directly from all over the world.

Everyone's thoughts suddenly became alive.

"As for the demon girl Taiping! Qin Tianjian is responsible for observing the stars and observing heresies in the world. Qin Tianjian is the head of the Xuanmen in the world, with an official position of the fifth rank. Looking at it now, it seems a bit low - I think I will mention the third grade. The lower official grades such as Ling Tailang will also be selected upwards in turn. Similarly, the various prefectures will select Taoist monks who can conquer wind and rain and send them to the capital! Let’s see if there are really no one in the Ming Dynasty who can cure these few Taiping Dao monsters!”

When Zhu Houcong said this, his original angry tone suddenly changed.

Lu Fang quickly opened the bead curtain, and Zhu Houcong looked softly at the veteran cabinet ministers who were kneeling on the ground because the emperor was angry.

"Of course, you ministers come from all over the world, and the worst is that they come from scholarly families, with big houses and high families. After decades of reigning in the court, I have seen so many outstanding figures and strange people. When it comes to recommending talents, who in the world can be better than you? Where is Mr. Ge?"

Zhu Houcong's words were slightly confusing, and he spoke in a gentle tone.

"If I can really recommend someone who has the ability to capture the Taiping demon, I am not someone who begrudges official positions and treasures. Not only should I reward talented people, I should also reward those who recommend talented people! Now the position of chief minister is still vacant, and there are only a few places for bachelors. I’m free, dear friends, please don’t be humble to each other and hide your secrets in front of me!”

Jiang Mian understood Zhu Houcong's hint, and before he could suppress the heat in his heart, he saw Liang Chu next to him who was so surprised that he even raised his head.

The shock in his eyes could not be concealed.

Shocked, that's right.

Zhu Houcong took out so many official positions and distributed such huge benefits at once.

Just to see the methods and background of these wealthy noble families who are still apparently on the side of the Ming court.

During the Battle of Southwest, Zhu Houcong roughly figured out the strength of those things that had been repeatedly entangled with the Ming court on the border for a long time.

Taking advantage of the changes in Datong, Zhu Houcong wanted to see the methods of these scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming court and the powerful families behind them who often owned vast hectares of land and huge wealth.

You know, this is a world that is many times more dangerous than the original history.

This group of people has not only been able to securely occupy so much land and wealth for more than 100 years, but they also have the time to train their people to take the imperial examination and enter the imperial court unimpeded.

That's enough to explain the problem.

Didn’t you see that even before Zhu Houcong succeeded to the throne, the Xingxian Palace, which was on the edge of the Ming court’s power and had no one to take care of it even after the death of the prince, was able to maintain Xuandu Temple outside Anlu City? Taoist Chiling like this Taoist thugs.

The nearby famous mountains, temples and royal palaces also have their own interests.

The strength in the hands of Liang Chu and the wealthy noble families behind them will only become stronger.

Zhu Houcong was very interested in the specific strength of these forces behind them.

Moreover, Jinyiwei should also have a complete blood-forming system, and the selection of talents cannot be limited to the capital's forbidden army.

Martial arts!This is Zhu Houcong's method of searching for talents from all over the world for Jin Yiwei!
Only outstanding people who stand out among thousands of people are qualified to receive "gifts".

The supply capacity of this world is limited. Even if the number of these demon blood warriors expands in the future, it is unlikely to suddenly increase too much.

Moreover, although the demon-blooded warriors of the Dragon Bird bloodline attack sharply, they lack endurance and are good at running thousands of miles, so they are not suitable for the Suwei to defend.

In fact, it is not suitable for the task of guarding the imperial palace.

Zhu Houcong has been holding the Hundred Demon Spectrum overnight to look for a great resentment species that is good at enduring hardship... No, I mean a new demon bloodline that has high endurance, strong endurance, and is good at perseverance.
