During this period of time, the unification of the Ming Dynasty spread throughout the entire martial arts world in an instant!
However, when everyone thought that Zhu Di would be established as the new emperor...
As a result, insider information came out.
The new emperor of Ming Dynasty is not Zhu Di, but someone else!
This news immediately swept the entire Zongwu Continent!
Great Tang, Great Song, Great Han, Great Yuan, Great Qin...
Tea houses and restaurants in almost every country are discussing this matter!
"Have you heard that the new emperor of Ming Dynasty is not Zhu Di, but a mysterious boy?"
"Ah? What is the origin of this young man, and why can he replace Zhu Di on the throne?"
"It is said that Zhu Di was assassinated and his bones were scattered in the river, and Chen Heng and others made the young man the new emperor!"
"Impossible! Succession to the throne requires blood lineage. Could it be possible that if you successfully assassinate the emperor, you will be able to ascend the throne?"
"There is news that Bai Qi may have been killed by that boy, so Daming will regard him as the new monarch?"
"Bai Qi was killed by a boy?"
"More than that, it is said that the entire Daqin cavalry was solved by that young man alone!"
"Crazy! Such absurd news, I am afraid that only children will believe it!"
"Hey... Now that the new Ming Dynasty has been established, rumors are flying all over the sky, and there are all kinds of monsters and ghosts talking about it. Whoever believes it is a fool!"
"I also think it's impossible for a young man to block Daqin's 500,000 cavalry. If you say he's a land god, it's almost the same!"
"Even the martial arts myths of the previous generation have to risk their lives to accomplish such a feat!"
"..."
All the countries in the Zongwu Continent, and even the entire Wulin Rivers and Lakes, have heard news about the new emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Among them, the news that the new emperor of Ming Dynasty was not Zhu Di, but a young man of unknown origin, who single-handedly killed the entire Baiqi army, aroused widespread concern.
Countless forces in the rivers and lakes have moved their nests and headed to Daming, wanting to find out any news about this young man!
Jufengtang, Yihua Palace, Sun Moon God Sect and other top martial arts sects even spared no effort to exchange tens of millions of taels of gold for a sliver of information about the new emperor of Ming Dynasty!
The whole rivers and lakes set off a turmoil because of this!
However...
Since he ascended the throne that day, the new emperor of Ming Dynasty has been unable to retreat, and many things have been passed on by the courtiers around him.
No matter how these forces prey on the wind, they can't even see the figure of the new emperor of Ming Dynasty, let alone find out any information!
Instead, the martial arts masters who entered the Ming Dynasty gradually disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world!
These masters have always made a name for themselves in the arena, and they can cause a lot of influence no matter where they go.
Their tracks were also followed by Wulin.
But it just disappeared so suddenly, even the closest relatives around him couldn't find out any news...
From then on, most of the masters in the rivers and lakes were afraid of Daming and dared not step into that country casually.
And the news about the new emperor of Ming Dynasty swept across the entire rivers and lakes for a short time, and then was attracted by the conflict between the Great Tang and the Great Han!
Gradually.
The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was considered by everyone to be a pure rumor, and no one paid any attention to it.
......
seventeen years.
Daming Imperial City, Heavenly Punishment Division.
In the dungeon that never sees light, all the heinous criminals are imprisoned.
at this time.
A voice echoed into the dark dungeon.
"From today onwards, you are my shadow guards. As long as you make contributions, you can teach martial arts skills and be appointed officials and nobles."
"But if there is a slight betrayal, the entire Ming Dynasty will be hunted down!"
"understand?"
"clear!"
At this moment, the rows of prisoners have all put on brand new clothes.
These prisoners were originally martial arts figures who came to the Ming Dynasty from all over the rivers and lakes and wanted to find out Jiang Ye's identity.
But now they are all reduced to prisoners, their lives are beyond their control!
That's right!
The person who spoke was none other than Jiang Ye!
During the period of concealing his identity, Jiang Ye has been hunting martial arts masters who came to the imperial city to inquire about news.
As long as they are caught, they will be dragged into the dungeon. After all kinds of coercion, torture, and rewards for top-level exercises, they finally recruited a group of martial arts masters as Hu Xia's cronies.
Jiang Ye knew very well...
Since the Ming Dynasty encountered the Hu Weiyong case, a large number of talents in the court, including generals with high martial arts skills, have all been solved by Ming Taizu!
As for a country, if there is no talent, it will be difficult to support Jiang Ye alone.
Therefore, he intentionally released some news to attract the martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes.
In the toughest way, make them your subordinates!
Most of the heroes of the rivers and lakes seem to be iron-blooded, but in fact they are all life-saving.
They seem to be very powerful in the arena, but in fact they have no real status.
However, this time, he actually got the opportunity to serve the emperor directly, which is something that ordinary green forest heroes can only dream of!
Serving the imperial court and becoming the emperor's trusted troops are two completely different concepts!
Immediately, all the prisoners in this row had their hair washed and changed, and they had a new identity - Jinyiwei!
Founded by Jiang Ye himself, he directly serves the emperor, and is composed of four masters: Qinglong, Xuanwu, Baihu, and Suzaku.
With the continuous expansion of the scale, there are more and more masters in Jinyiwei.
Up to now, as long as you are below the astronomical phenomenon, if you enter the imperial city rashly, you will be arrested by Jin Yiwei!
As long as they want to live, they must become a new member of their team.
besides...
Although Jiang Ye did not show his face to the court, he has been promulgating new laws and regulations with his confidantes.
The land law was promoted, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, food production increased, the army recruited recruits with higher salaries, and expanded the size of the army...
In just a few years, the Ming Dynasty led by Jiang Ye suddenly took on a new look, and the dragon veins of the country showed a golden light, which showed great signs of taking off!
To completely reverse the country's fortunes and reach the peak of prosperity, there is still a group of real top masters who will sit in Daming!
If this last piece of the puzzle is completed...
Jiang Ye's strength will truly step into the realm of land gods!
"who?"
At this moment, Jiang Ye frowned, and suddenly burst into an angry roar.
He tapped his fingertips, and the golden dragon's luck turned into a finger wind, spanning a hundred meters in an instant, and flew towards a dark corner of the dome of the Tianxing Division!
next second...
A white-haired figure jumped out of the dome in an instant, and flew towards the outside of the house with extremely fast movements.
"Want to run!"
Jiang Ye sneered.
With his speed, it only takes a blink of an eye to catch up with the assassin in front of him!
The white-haired figure quickly escaped from the Tianxing Division in the blink of an eye, and came to the streets of the imperial city.
But under the light of the boundless moon...
Jiang Ye's figure stood in front of the white-haired man, with a half-smile expression on his face, and said:
"It turns out that the leader of Quicksand came to my Daming Imperial City, what advice do you have?"
