Chapter 221 Pierce the Heart with a Sword

The morning light breaks.

The whole territory of Ming Dynasty was peaceful.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, feeling that the current Holy One is the Holy King for all eternity.

At this time, Zhu Di and Lan Yu, who were in the Western Territory, led their respective armies and swept across the entire Western Territory with an invincible attitude.

Although those so-called principalities hold large armies, they are all scum and are no match for Zhu Di and Lan Yu.

Whenever a large army arrives, it will be swept away.

They even achieved an astonishing record of chasing the opponent's army of 500,000 with 30,000.

The news spread throughout the entire western land, and now many small countries had already taken the initiative to send envoys to surrender without even waiting for Lan Yu and Zhu Di's troops to arrive.

After all, active surrender and passive surrender are treated completely differently.

As far as they are concerned, judging from the current situation anyway, they basically have to finish it anyway.

Instead of waiting to be killed, it is better to surrender directly. This will save trouble and at least save your life, so as not to end up with the tragic end of death and destruction of the country.

At this time, Zhu Di was inspecting the newly cleaned battlefield.

This battle was not spectacular. It could be said that it was effortless and a country was conquered in just one day.

If it were in the past, Zhu Laosi might still brag about this record, but after these days of fighting, he has become completely accustomed to it.

Riding on a Pegasus, he looks very domineering.

At this time, his expression showed a chilling air.

The long-term battle and killing made Zhu Laosi look like a murderous god at this time, which made people shudder.

At this moment, the big fat Zhu Gaochi came on horseback. The big maroon horse he was riding was panting heavily. It was obviously hard to breathe under the weight of the big fat man.

But it was a strange thing. This big bay horse was panting every day, but it was not crushed.

Maybe, this is what the legend says, just right.

"Father, father!"

Zhu Gaochi came to Zhu Di's side, also panting heavily.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Zhu Di turned his head and glanced at his eldest son, frowning.

My eldest son is not good at wielding a sword or a stick, but he has always been calm. What happened to him to make him so confused?

"Inside, there is an urgent message from the cabinet. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is enthroned in the King of Chu!"

As soon as Zhu Gaochi's words came out, Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then he was confused for a moment.

Zen position?

What nonsense?!

What the hell is going on?!

After Zhu Laosi was stunned for three or four seconds, he snatched the order letter from Yingtian from Zhu Gaochi's hand.

This is a letter sent from the cabinet. It clearly states that the Zen Ceremony will be held today.

I read the letter seven or eight times and checked the cabinet seal above to make sure it was correct.

"What is your Majesty doing..."

Zhu Di frowned.

He didn't understand what his eldest nephew meant.

The emperor was doing well, why did he suddenly become the emperor?

There are countless people trying to get the position, so you don't care so much?

Zhu Laosi took a deep breath and put away the letter.

"Command the army to continue marching."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice.

He is a general outside, and his duty is to obey the emperor's orders and purge the entire western realm.

As for what will happen to Yingtian, it is not something that he, a general fighting abroad, should care about.

"yes."

Zhu Gaochi received the order letter.

"Father, do you want to return to the court?"

Theoretically speaking, for such a big matter as the Zen throne, Zhu Di, as a member of the royal family and holding military power, should go back to attend the ceremony.

"No."

He waved his hand.

Zhu Delei turned his horse's head and continued to inspect the battlefield.

His mood was a bit complicated, or in other words, he was deep in thought.

In the past, he had tried his best to occupy the position, but was just given up by Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Laosi's mood at this moment was somewhat difficult to express.

The same scene also happened in the Blue Jade Army.

Lan Yu, who was originally discussing the next march plan with the generals in the military tent, looked at the sudden letter in his hand and fell into deep thought for a long time.

He didn't speak. Naturally, none of his group of generals and adopted sons dared to say a word. They could only remain silent. They all secretly glanced at Lan Yu, especially the letter in Lan Yu's hand.

They were all very curious as to what was written in this letter, which could actually make Lan Yu, who had always been bellicose, stop his military deployment midway.

After half a cup of tea, Lan Yu put the letter away.

His expression was calm. From the outside, there was no change in his expression at all, as if nothing had happened.

But in fact, Lan Yu's heart was beating.

Zen position?

What are you doing? You suddenly reached the Zen position. Why is there no news at all? Isn’t it comfortable to be an emperor?

The people in Lao Zhu's family are really strange. One after another, the old emperor didn't want to be the emperor, and the prince didn't want to be, so he gave it to his grandson. Now the grandson doesn't want to be, so he gave it to his younger brother...

If this continues, will it be replaced with another one over time?

But for him, it's not a big problem.

Both Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi were born to Zhu Biao and Chang, and they were all relatives of his Lan Yu.

There are original stocks everywhere.

………………

And at the same time.

Outside the East China Sea, a huge fleet of ships sailed.

On the deck of the main ship, Xiaobao fell into a long silence as he looked at the cabinet order letter sent by Qiankun Supervisor.

Standing alone on the bow of this deck, my robe was lifted by the wind, but it didn't move at all.

"Brother Bao, it's windy and cold at sea, so you should go inside and rest."

Seeing Xiaobao standing there for half an hour, Yang Qing couldn't help it anymore, so he stepped forward and spoke.

After all, Xiaobao is the chief officer of this fleet. If Xiaobao falls ill, the fleet will also come to a standstill.

"Um."

Xiaobao nodded and put away the letter in his hand.

'Your Majesty, Xiaobao cannot accompany you on the road to the future.'

Xiaobao took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and saw the faint morning light.

The memories of these ten years come to mind involuntarily.

From the moment he was brought into Yingtian as a prisoner of war, he was chosen by Zhu Xiongying, the then emperor's grandson.

For more than ten years, he has followed Zhu Xiongying almost step by step.

He is familiar with everything about Zhu Xiongying.

How much he wanted to accompany His Majesty the Emperor and continue to travel around the world.

But he knew that he could no longer keep up with His Majesty the Emperor.

Moreover, he has something to do now.

"Xiaobao must remember His Majesty's words and raise the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag anywhere in this world."
