Chapter 272 The Secret of Ascension

Cao Zhengchun tore open the letter, took out the letter, unfolded the paper, and looked at it intently. Tie Ying beside him bent down and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to pry at all.

"Haha, God is really helping me. That old fox Zhu Yili was actually injured!" Cao Zhengchun was able to go from being an eunuch in the palace to becoming the powerful governor of the East Factory, and he had fifty years of pure Tiangang boy skills. , extremely refined and pure, definitely not a loser. Naturally, he would seize the opportunity and vigorously attack Zhu Wuli's forces.

"Lord Governor, be careful that it's Zhu Wuwu's treacherous plot!" Tie Ying heard that Zhu Wuwu was injured, and his heart sank slightly. He was Zhu Wuwu's thorn in Cao Zhengchun's side. Naturally, he was worried about Zhu Wuwu's situation and immediately began to raise questions. .

"Of course I know, I just need to test it out. But if someone went to such trouble to send this letter, it can't be false!" Cao Zhengchun was born as an internal official. He has been trying to cater to his superiors and figure out people's hearts since he was a child. , so he has his own way of grasping and judging people's hearts, so he has confidence in his own judgment.

"The governor is wise!" Tie Ying didn't dare to talk any more. Cao Zhengchun was cold and suspicious. Tie Ying's question was acceptable, but if he talked too much, the secret would be exposed easily.

Forbidden City, Jiaotai Hall.

Zhu Houzhao was entertaining Zhu Xiao at this time, "Brother Xiao, thank you very much this time!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Xiao in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He really didn't expect that his father, who died young, had left such a good relationship for him. You must know that if Zhu Youtang, the Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, hadn't supported Zhu Hongxin, Zhu Hongxin will never rise to prominence because of this, let alone Zhu Houzhao. If he offends Zhu Wuwu, Zhu Xiao will naturally not take action against Zhu Wuwu. Although Zhu Hongxin is a wise minister and a member of the clan, but for the current Zhu Houzhao , Zhu Xiao's value is definitely greater than anyone else, and as long as Zhu Xiao exists, his life is guaranteed.

Zhu Houzhao was hiding his power and biding his time at this time. He usually behaved recklessly and played absurdly, but as the emperor of this world, the resources he had at his disposal were definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Although he never practiced martial arts, the royal family secretly passed down a Qi-watching technique, which was left by Liu Bowen.

Zhu Houzhao once used this qi-gazing technique to look at the luck of the Ming Dynasty and found that the dynasty's luck had increased by about two hundred years. This made Zhu Houzhao very confused. Although he was confident, he did not think that he had done anything earth-shattering. Major events can extend the fortune of a dynasty for two hundred years. It wasn't until a few years ago that he met Zhu Xiao who had sneaked into the palace. Zhu Xiao had already discovered him at that time, but he just thought that what he had done was not honest after all, so he did not leave, but took photos with Zhu Houzhao. We met and had some exchanges.

Zhu Houzhao was curious about how this clan member sneaked into the palace. You must know that there is Cao Zhengchun in the palace, and there are more masters in the palace than can be counted on one hand. It can be said that the palace is as tightly guarded as an iron barrel. Therefore, he glanced at Zhu Xiao using the Qi-gazing Technique, and was stunned by the luck in front of him, which was like a living immortal Buddha. He instantly understood the reason for the increase in luck in the Ming Dynasty. It turned out that someone in the clan had become a heavenly being. In order for the Ming Dynasty to suppress the destiny of the dynasty, other dragon veins that had not yet formed were stillborn.

"This time Zhu Wuwu will be quiet for a few years, enough for you to free up your hands to consolidate your strength. I hope that in three years, I can see Zhu Wuwu fall. I can protect you by your side, but then the agreement between us will be completed. Got it!"

Zhu Xiao looked at Zhu Houzhao. He didn't grovel because he was the emperor. He still looked businesslike.

Zhu Houzhao didn't mind at all. He knew very well how heavenly beings existed. When the Ming Dynasty was first established, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see Zhang Sanfeng again and again, but Zhang Sanfeng always avoided him. Zhu Yuanzhang could only return disappointed, still not daring to see him. Without complaining at all, he continued to seal Zhang Sanfeng and Wudang. Now Wudang still has close ties with the royal family. Many of the guards in the palace are disciples of the Wudang sect.

"Although the agreement has been completed, we are brothers of the same clan after all, and our friendship cannot be broken!" Zhu Houzhao didn't care about face at all, and he looked at Zhu Xiao and tried to get along with him. It is rare for a heavenly being to appear in hundreds of years. Fortunately, God has conquered the world, and now there is another heavenly being. How can he not hold on to him to the death?

"It's up to you. After I've dealt with Zhu Wuli's matter, I don't plan to stay in this world for a long time. I'm going to be detached!" Zhu Xiao looked at Zhu Houzhao and couldn't help but sigh to himself. He is worthy of being an emperor. Everyone is so shameless. I don't care about false reputation at all, I only care about real benefits.

"Are you going to ascend so soon?" Zhu Houzhao's expression changed drastically. He really didn't expect that Zhu Xiao had already reached this level and had the strength to ascend.

"Oh? It seems that you know something about the transcendence of heaven and man!" Zhu Xiao then looked at Zhu Houzhao seriously, no longer careless as before, with a trace of interest in his eyes.

Zhu Houzhao showed a wry smile, "You should also know how the Ming Dynasty was established. If Zhang Zhenren, a man of heaven and human realm, had not emerged among the Han people and wiped out the dragon vein of the Yuan Dynasty, how could it have been our Zhu family's turn to dominate the world. Because of this In this way, our dynasty owes Master Zhang a period of karma, so emperors of all dynasties will continue to grant Wudang titles so that they can enjoy the fortune of the dynasty. Only in this way can the Wudang Sect become a martial arts holy land comparable to Shaolin in a short period of time, and the leader of the righteous path. .”

"There is another reason. Is this the reason why ancient warlocks actively supported the dynasty?" Zhu Xiao couldn't help but guessed, thinking of the immortals in the Romance of the Gods who needed to support the dynasty in order to complete the killing.

"I don't know about this. I only know that in his later years, Master Zhang directly ascended to the immortal class and successfully ranked in the Immortal Class!" Zhu Houzhao originally only read the books with these records as fairy tales, but since he met Zhu Xiao, He was only half convinced.

"Zhang Sanfeng's ability to leave this world is not beyond my expectation!" Zhu Xiao had already reached the pinnacle of the realm of heaven and man when he became a heavenly being. He felt the rejection of the world just because he still had things to deal with. , so he kept dragging them away. He also guessed that Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng should also have transcended the world and left, instead of dying of old age in this world as people said.

"Brother Xiao, you are so talented. Even Master Zhang could not ascend until he was one hundred and thirty years old. But you are about to ascend at such a young age. Can't you stay for a few more decades?" Zhu Houzhao tried his best to persuade Zhu Xiao to keep him. If Zhu Xiao can stay in the world for several decades, Zhu Houzhao is confident that with the help of Zhu Xiao, a living heavenly being, he can more than double the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
