Emperor Jiajing finished speaking.
In the Jinluan Hall, you can hear a needle drop.
Xu Jie, the second assistant, was extremely confused!
He couldn't tell for a moment whether His Majesty was deliberately entertaining the Crown Prince or giving him a chance to establish new achievements.
After all, if Prince Wanli's fiefdom was in Hongzhou, he would at least have a legitimate reason to lead troops.
"The power of God is unpredictable!"
"The power of God is unpredictable!"
Xu Jie thought that he had finally figured out the temper of this powerful emperor after serving Emperor Jiajing for many years.
But since the prince went to Nanchao, his majesty's thoughts have become unpredictable.
"I can't guess His Majesty's thoughts."
"Yan Song...maybe he knows?"
Xu Jie was also ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry, and the idea of asking Yan Song for advice came to his mind.
Of course, this thought almost passed by in a flash.
The Xu Party and the Yan Party are at odds with each other. How could he, the leader of the Xu Party, seek advice from female officials?
"After the next court, I will discuss it in detail with Zhang Taiyue..."
Xu Jie was thinking about it when he suddenly felt that vast spiritual power appeared out of thin air in the palace square outside Jinluan Palace.
what's the situation?
With this power and power, his cultivation may not be inferior to his own!
"I am the envoy of the Celestial Empire, and I am here with His Majesty the Tang Emperor's imperial edict."
"The Lord of the small country of Xia Bang, come out of the palace and kneel to receive me!"
In the Jinluan Hall, the whole hall was in an uproar!
The ministers were not only surprised by the strength of the newcomer's cultivation, but also shocked by the arrogance of the opponent's attitude!
Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world.
Your Majesty Jiajing, the only ninth-level Mahayana realm in the world.
How dare the other party be so arrogant, sending some kind of imperial edict from the Celestial Empire, and asking the Ming Emperor to kneel down to receive it?
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to kill this thief!" a minister said angrily.
"You humiliate me and I will die, but I am willing to kill thieves for your majesty!" Another minister shouted.
The crowd in the Jinluan Hall was excited, but the Tang envoy outside the hall smiled calmly.
He was dressed as a Confucian scholar, with rich brocade clothes and extraordinary nobility.
The gorgeous scroll held in his hand is embroidered with gold and silver threads, with golden dragons and auspicious clouds, which is exactly the imperial edict of the Tang Emperor!
The envoy saw that Emperor Jiajing in Jinluan Palace was indifferent and didn't mind.
He smiled gracefully and then unfolded the imperial edict in his hand.
All of a sudden!
The writing shows the atmosphere and reflects the heaven and earth.
I saw only a picture of the country, the country, the country, the beautiful mountains and rivers, and the roaring waves of the river.
There is also a sage king who comes to rule the country and the country, and the scene of prosperity attracts all nations to come to worship Mianqi!
In the Jinluan Hall, all the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were Confucian cultivators.
They have also seen the wonders of the turmoil when writing, but they have never seen such a prosperous cultural context, interpreting the complex and huge wonders of mountains, rivers, communities and countries!
The officials were shocked!
"Confucian and Taoist emperor?"
"The reincarnation of Emperor Wen?"
The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty had extraordinary experiences!
However, they have never seen an emperor with such profound literary spirit and profound Confucianism who could reach such a state!
For a moment, they even yearned for this emperor of the Celestial Dynasty who had a prosperous cultural background.
Could this be the real reason why all of Hongzhou surrendered?
If this is the case, those people would probably surrender with all their hearts!
The reactions of the ministers all fell into the eyes of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.
The smile on his face was even bigger, showing a strong sense of confidence and superiority!
There should be such a gap between the heavenly kingdom and the small kingdom below!
"The Holy Emperor is benevolent! He cannot bear to fight!"
The envoy of the Tang Dynasty raised the imperial edict above his head and preached it in a loud voice.
"If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is willing to give up his imperial title, relinquish his throne, and submit to the heaven, he will still retain the dignity of a prince."
"If the remaining ministers of the Ming Dynasty sincerely serve, I, the Holy Emperor, can still retain them."
"If anyone else is still stubborn..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his eyes
The previous flower!
It turned out to be an offensive transformed by spiritual power, arriving in front of him in an instant.
The envoy subconsciously raised his hands to block it, but his hands felt hot, as if they were placed in magma.
"ah……"
Just as he was about to open his mouth and scream in pain, his whole body was already swallowed up by the intense heat!
At this point, the sound completely disappeared.
In the eyes of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they saw that it was Emperor Jiajing who took action.
The spiritual energy as hot as the scorching sun was an ordinary blow from the "Sun and Moon Mysterious Sutra" that Emperor Jiajing casually used.
But on the ground where the man stood just now, there was no longer the calm and confident ambassador of the Celestial Dynasty in rich clothes, only a pool of charred residue was left.
"Quack."
In the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Jiajing still kept his right hand stretched forward.
His expression was indifferent.
Killing an ambassador seems as simple as crushing a fly.
"oh?"
Emperor Jiajing suddenly discovered that something had fallen beside the scorched black mark in the square outside the palace.
It seems to be an imperial edict from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty?
The imperial edict fell to the ground, contaminated by dust and filth, and the splendid mountains and rivers just a moment ago suddenly converged.
It's just woven with gold and silver threads, but it still emits a faint precious light.
It seems that the materials used to make this imperial edict are extraordinary, making it reach the level of a high-grade spiritual treasure.
"Extravage and waste," Emperor Jiajing said calmly.
The value of the imperial edict is to demonstrate the authority of the emperor.
Therefore, the expression of the emperor's will is the most important, and the materials used are not.
Emperor Jiajing had always prided himself on being thrifty. When he saw that the Tang Dynasty was using high-end materials to weave imperial edicts instead of refining spiritual treasures, he did not feel that the Tang Dynasty had a strong foundation and just said "waste" in contempt.
He reached out and grabbed it from the air, and the imperial edict flew into his palm.
"Your Majesty, this letter of credence..." Some ministers didn't know why and were about to talk nonsense, but Xu Jie immediately warned him with his eyes.
credentials?
What credentials?
Killing everyone means not recognizing the so-called Tang Dynasty and the so-called Celestial Dynasty.
"Great writing."
Emperor Jiajing complimented casually.
"I remember that there was a man named Chen Lin in the Wei State. His writing skills were also very good. Emperor Wei once praised him for his writing skills as well as arrows. After Chen Lin was surrendered, he did not kill him, but kept his writing skills."
"Dear ladies, who do you think has better literary talent, the Emperor of Tang or Chen Lin of Wei?"
The ministers were silent.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Is he going to follow the example of Emperor Wei in arresting Chen Lin, and also capture Tang Emperor Li Yu alive, and keep him as a talented poet?
Is this too childish?
How can people like Chen Lin compare with the Tang Emperor who came down from heaven?
"His Majesty."
At this time, Chief Assistant Yan Song took a step forward.
"I would like to ask Your Majesty, veteran, if you want to raise military pay, mobilize troops and horses, and prepare for the battle?"
Emperor Jiajing stared at Yan Song for a long time before shaking his head.
"Yi Zhong, are you really old and your memory is so bad?"
When Yan Song heard this, he knelt down cooperatively and said, "I am indeed old and confused. I beg your majesty to have mercy on me and teach you."
"Alas~!"
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand.
"How could I blame you for this?"
"It is often said that having an elder in a family is like having a treasure."
"But everyone will grow old, and I am no exception. Otherwise, where would these restless people come from in the world?"
While speaking, Emperor Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie inadvertently.
The latter suddenly felt a chill down his spine and a layer of white hair sweat broke out!
"I just said it, dear friends, have you forgotten?"
"Hongzhou is already a fiefdom of the prince."
"If his stuff is lost, he should get it back by himself."
"Retreat from the court."
…
…………
Chu State, above the court.
Chu Emperor Xiang Chong had a look of uneasiness on his face. He had just received news that Xiongzhou, the largest state in the southern part of Chu State, had been lost!
