Chapter 151 The Devil Yan Shifan
The emperor did it on purpose!
The old fox Yan Song thought of a lot of things in an instant.
Now, the emperor has no reservations about telling them the fact that he has embarked on the path of cultivating immortals.
He even bestowed magical powers upon these people.
Yan Song has always had a question in his mind. He has never spoken it out loud to anyone, not even to his son Yan Shifan, because once this question is asked, he will have to face it.
That is, the emperor really trusted them so much? Did he grant them the magic?
What kind of person is the emperor? He is selfish, greedy, and extremely suspicious. It is normal that he does not tell anyone about his magical powers, but keeps them to himself or enjoys them exclusively with the royal family.
In fact, what he should do most is to let the people of the world provide him with spiritual resources.
Afterwards, he guessed that in order to develop the Immortal Dynasty, the Emperor had to offer spiritual resources as tribute to the immortals, so he needed to use immortal cultivators.
But if the emperor bestows the immortal method, what if someone else also gets the favor of the immortal? Will he replace the royal family? If the immortal can favor him, it may not mean that he will not value others? Will the emperor not think of this?
Afterwards, he guessed the emperor's vigorous development of the Xian Dynasty and the policy of rewarding military merits. With Yan Song's experienced vision, he could naturally see at a glance what the Ming Dynasty would look like in the future.
As the power of the Ming Dynasty grows, the Immortal Dynasty will move faster and faster and become more and more powerful, and sooner or later it will become huge in size.
Then, he suspected that this greedy emperor might not be content with the status quo of being inferior to the immortal, and he might be thinking about how to replace him.
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, he could never get rid of it.
Now seeing those "children" who were secretly training below, the idea in Yan Song's mind became more and more certain.
With such a mysterious and powerful force in hand, what if there are 100,000 or 1 million people? Who in this world can go against the will of the emperor? And the immortal official body.
His intuition told him that being granted the title of immortal official might be a means for the emperor to guard against betrayal by his ministers.
In this way, he would not worry that other people in the court would be favored by the immortal, and that one day in the future, after falling out with the immortal, the royal family would be betrayed from within.
In an instant, a lot of thoughts came to Yan Song's mind.
"These children are all Immortal Warriors secretly trained by Lu Bing." After taking in everyone's expressions, Jiajing smiled and said, "Each of them can fight ten people at once."
"If our Ming Dynasty had such an army of 100,000 people, how powerful would it be?"
One against ten!? Everyone was startled when they heard this phrase. In the past, they would have regarded this phrase as an exaggerated description of one's personal strength, but not now.
After all, the emperor is an immortal cultivator, and some of their people have reached the immortal realm, so they know better that this word is true!
"May I ask, father? Are these Immortal Guards also immortal cultivators?" At this time, King Jing bowed and asked.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately pricked up their ears and listened, wanting to know if these Immortal Guards were immortal cultivators.
If the emperor really had secretly trained a powerful army of cultivators without telling any of them, then... no one dared to think about it.
"The Immortal Guards are not immortal cultivators..." Jiajing naturally knew what everyone was thinking, but he did not need to use such a bluffing method to shock people.
So Jiajing introduced the Xianwu Guards to everyone.
After listening to Jiajing's introduction about the Xianwu Guard, everyone felt a little relieved even though they knew these people were not immortal cultivators.
Well, the reason why it slowed down a bit was not because of what they wanted to do in their hearts, but because of a psychological gap that they hadn't even started cultivating immortals when a group of immortal cultivators suddenly appeared.
Now that I know these Immortal Guards are not immortal cultivators, that huge gap doesn't exist at all, and I feel a little relieved.
"Xianwu Guards..." Yan Song's eyes flashed, and he understood instantly, "So, the emperor allowed me to train a legion of spirit beasts, and in the end, it should be handed over to the Xianwu Guards..."
"Okay," Jiajing waved his hand, ending the topic about the Immortal Guards, "Let's talk about the land below."
Is the final settlement of benefits finally coming?
When they heard the emperor mention the land below, everyone's heart sank.
"With the abilities of Hu Zongxian and Tang Shunzhi, it would probably take more than a month to conquer the entire Japan," Jiajing said, looking at everyone, his solemn expression slightly relaxed, "I know what you are thinking."
Hearing Jiajing's suggestive words, Yan Song and others couldn't help but lower their heads slightly.
It was obvious that the emperor was talking about the internal strife between the two sides, but at this moment, the most nervous ones were Prince Yu and Prince Jing.
After all, the fight between the Yan Party and the Qingliu Party always reflects their struggle for the throne.
How could the emperor not see this? He simply ignored them and looked at the cabinet, saving face for them.
Jiajing naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking, but continued to speak, "The issue of the spiritual soil of the Japanese island will be discussed by the cabinet later, and it will be decided to come to Yuxi Palace to discuss politics later."
"What I want to say now is that Japan Island will be a spiritual land in the future, providing a steady supply of spiritual resources for our Ming Dynasty. What do you think of the Japanese people on Japan Island?"
Jiajing wanted to hear the cabinet's ideas. Would these Japanese be used as labor? Or would they be divided and sent to various parts of the Ming Dynasty for assimilation and then integrated into the Ming Dynasty? Well, after all, before the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains had already assimilated many ethnic minorities.
Therefore, the method of assimilation was also the most commonly used method by the Central Plains dynasties.
"I think we should execute all the Japanese soldiers," Zhang Juzheng said after getting Xu Jie's approval. "As for the civilians, we can import them to the Ming Dynasty in batches."
"Use my Central Plains Kingly Way to educate and assimilate them into the people of the Ming Dynasty. After three generations, the bloodline of this clan will no longer exist. After all, nothing can withstand the baptism of time."
After listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Gao Gong also nodded and said, "That's right, and this move has another benefit." Gao Gong looked around at everyone, and under Yan Shifan's disdainful gaze, he said, "We can use Japan as an example to reassure other countries."
"Let the people of all countries understand that the Ming Dynasty will not kill innocent people. The reason why we destroyed Japan is because this tribe is ambitious and shameless. They have repeatedly violated the border of the Ming Dynasty and harmed our people."
"But no matter what, ordinary people are innocent."
"Only in this way can we demonstrate the majesty of our Celestial Empire and our broad-mindedness and courage in educating foreign races with the kingly way!"
Zhao Zhenji nodded slightly upon hearing this, and bowed to Jiajing, saying, "I also agree with Su Qing and Taiyue's views."
"In fact, there is another important reason," Zhao Zhenji paused and said, "My Great Ming Dynasty will definitely rule over the world in the future, and the subjects of all countries are foreign races..."
"My Lord, the Emperor, who founded the Supreme Immortal Dynasty, should have a heart that embraces all races."
"When the spiritual energy of the Ming Dynasty sweeps across the country, it is inevitable that some birds and beasts will benefit from it, or transform into spiritual beasts and gain spiritual intelligence. They will also become part of our Ming Dynasty."
"The Immortal Dynasty is the Supreme Court that governs the heavens and embraces all races. This is only natural, so all Japanese soldiers can be executed, but ordinary people will be dispersed and assimilated in various parts of the Ming Dynasty."
After saying this, it basically represents Qingliu's attitude.
This is in line with their usual style of educating with the kingly way. However, whether it is Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong or Zhao Zhenji, they did not think of leaving these Japanese to help plant spiritual objects.
Obviously, they also understood that such divine objects could not be handed over to foreigners. Although they had the broad mind of a king, they were still on guard.
"Ha, ha!" At this moment, the young cabinet minister Yan Shifan suddenly sneered, walked out and bowed to Jiajing, "Your Majesty, I think that Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji are really wrong!"
Seeing that this hot-tempered young cabinet minister was about to take action, Jiajing became interested. Well, this hot-tempered Yan Shifan could be quite interesting sometimes, and he could always come up with a new angle.
"Speak." Jiajing said, and with a wave of his hand, a dragon throne and a small stool appeared on the deck.
The dragon throne appeared behind him, and the small stool was brought to Yan Song.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Song thanked him, then glanced at his son who was about to go crazy again, and sat down silently.
"You!" At this time, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and the others all looked gloomy when Yan Shifan said this.
This madman always acts like he's taken gunpowder. Can't he just talk properly?
However, since Yan Shifan had already "taken advantage of them" so much, they were not going to indulge him. Gao Gong, the "fire output" of the Qingliu faction, was the first to open fire. "I wonder what the young minister has to say!"
"I can't say that my opinion is brilliant, but I have to say that you are weak and incompetent!" Yan Shifan said mercilessly: "In my opinion, all Japanese should be liquidated. None of them is innocent!"
"All of them should be loaded onto a few large ships and sold to Western countries. Ha," Yan Shifan sneered, "the old, the sick, and the disabled can be sent to any island."
"Women, strong young men, and children with great potential. I happen to know a few Portuguese people. I can sell them to them directly and earn some money for the Ming Dynasty."
"I, the Ming Dynasty, will not support these immoral, ungrateful bastards who only care about small profits and forget the greater good!"
"For so many years, from the Tang Dynasty to our Ming Dynasty, have they ever been grateful? There have always been Japanese pirates along the southeast coast, right?"
"You guys are just greedy brats, and you still want to support them? Are you crazy?"
"What? Assimilate into our Ming Dynasty? Let our noble people of the Immortal Dynasty have this kind of dirty blood and sinful blood flowing in the future? You three are as stupid as pigs!"
"Since ancient times, many foreign races in the Central Plains have been assimilated, but don't forget that there are even more people with ulterior motives! The Central Plains still exists because the Chinese people are strong!"
"If you were weaker, would you still be standing here in front of the Emperor and talking about your breadth of mind and courage?!"
"You've only had full meals for a few days? After a few days of peaceful life, you've forgotten your ancestors and your roots?" Yan Shifan was worthy of being Yan Shifan. As soon as he opened his mouth, he stunned everyone.
At the same time, the insults became more and more severe.
Of course, that proposal was even more devilish.
"..."
Remember the shame!
