Soon, a month later, at the foot of a secluded mountain in Mount Hua, Yue Buqun looked at his son, who was even taller than him.
He patted him hard on the shoulder and said:
"Lingzhu, remember this time, listen to your mother!"
Also, I know that your strength has surpassed that of your father.
So, protect your mother, understand?
Yue Lingzhu nodded heavily and said:
"I understand, Father!"
Chapter 881 The Success of Yue Ling Candle!
Three months later, a young man who would change the fate of the Ming Dynasty arrived at the border.
These boys, though only five years old, were already over 1.8 meters tall.
Although his face looks very young, he exudes a very powerful aura.
He was carrying an iron spear as thick as a child's arm, which looked to weigh several dozen kilograms.
However, what they didn't know was that this gun was a weapon that Jiang Zhen had forged for Yue Lingzhu.
It looks like it weighs only a few dozen kilograms, but its actual weight is 800 kilograms.
However, now that 99% of its power is sealed, only its hardness, sharpness, and some weight remain.
Furthermore, Jiang Zhen also gifted Yue Lingzhu a warhorse large enough to carry him.
Yue Lingzhu also joined the border guards with these things.
Furthermore, it demonstrated formidable combat power during an invasion by a foreign enemy.
He single-handedly repelled three thousand enemy soldiers and killed more than two thousand of them.
It was precisely because of this battle that Yue Lingzhu became famous throughout the border region.
Furthermore, his fame spread to the imperial court.
At this time, the emperor of this world was none other than the emperor who loved to play the most, Zhu Shou, Zhu Houzhao, the invincible general of the Ming Dynasty.
Upon hearing this news, the emperor immediately became interested and conducted an investigation.
He began to cultivate Yue Lingzhu directly using the power he had seized.
In just five years, with the support of Zhu Houzhao, Yue Lingzhu swept across the border regions, conquering small border states and even the entire grassland.
In no time, the fame of General Yue Hua spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.
In particular, Yue Lingzhu did not act recklessly under Jiang Zhen's guidance.
Instead, they constantly advised the emperor, helping him to continuously consolidate his power in the court.
Furthermore, they obtained 80% of the power from those civil officials.
They thoroughly cleaned up the entire palace and even the imperial court from top to bottom.
As for those who are disobedient and even want to cause trouble.
Yue Lingzhu and his eight thousand iron cavalry swept through everything in their path, unleashing an unprecedented bloodbath.
Therefore, Yue Hua's reputation became very bad among the scholars.
However, after those troubles were completely resolved, the originally bad reputation turned into a good one in a short period of time.
This scene also made Yue Lingzhu realize the problem.
On this day, on the northern border, Yue Lingzhu looked at the utterly destroyed Later Jin dynasty and the land before her.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke:
"Teacher, your disciple has broken through! He has completely broken through to the ninth level."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen's voice rang out:
"You've broken through. It's been five years. But it's good that you've broken through. Now you can continue to strive for the second level."
However, my disciple, this world has already reached its limit in terms of your current level of cultivation.
If you want to break through to the next level, you need to shatter the void and leave this world.
However, it will probably take you more than ten years to break through to the second level.
So, it's time for you to go back now.
The power in my hands must also be relinquished.
Otherwise, even the emperor will start to be wary of you, after all, your strength is too great.
Moreover, over the years, you have destroyed countless small countries.
It can be said that most of the small countries on the border have been destroyed.
The entire Ming Dynasty has expanded to its limit. What Zhu Houzhao needs to do next is to continuously govern the Ming Dynasty.
And you no longer need to fight.
If you still hold power under these circumstances, you will inevitably be feared.
Moreover, one must be careful when bestowing titles.
After all, you're basically beyond being able to be blocked anymore.
Since you are not a member of the Zhu family, you cannot be granted the title of King. Therefore, being granted the title of Duke is already a very high honor.
So, next, you'll need to go to the imperial court and fight for a position and a certain image for yourself!
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingzhu immediately inquired:
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Jiang Zhen: "I estimate that Zhu Houzhao will summon you back in a few days."
When that time comes, it will be time for you to be ennobled, but your achievements will be too great.
Throughout history, those who conquer a country have been credited with the greatest merit.
So, you're currently in a situation where there's no way to seal off your territory.
You are now a marquis, but even the title of duke is no longer sufficient to describe your achievements.
Therefore, you must share your credit.
And those who have followed you over the years have all made great contributions.
Therefore, it's not easy to handle.
However, this is also a good opportunity to explain your situation.
After you go back this time, you will do this... and this... do you understand?
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingzhu nodded thoughtfully.
....................................
Three days later, as expected, an imperial edict was delivered to this land beyond the Great Wall.
Subsequently, Yue Lingzhu led his eight thousand iron cavalry, who had always followed him, straight to the capital.
Inside the palace, Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorial in his hand, a helpless expression on his face.
"This achievement is so great that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to make him a king!"
No, even being crowned a king wouldn't be enough.
The Ming Dynasty has now expanded its territory by more than double.
If you add this vast grassland to the mix, it becomes even more terrifying.
This is truly beyond sealing off.
Could it be that they really intend to carve out a territory and establish a kingship?
We shouldn't have listened to Yue Hua in the first place and let him keep beating us like that.
Although expanding territory is very satisfying.
But who would have thought that this moment of carelessness would lead to this?
Now that I'm in the underworld, I have no problem facing my ancestors.
But this kid's contribution is really... sigh!!!
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorial with a face full of helplessness.
However, just as Zhu Houzhao was having a terrible headache...
The eunuch beside him whispered:
"Your Majesty, is your headache caused by Marquis Yue's matter?"
Zhu Houzhao glanced at the eunuch who had been following him and said:
"Indeed, Yue Hua's contribution is so great that it cannot be rewarded!"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch whispered:
"Your Majesty, how about we find a way to prevent Lord Yue from returning to the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's expression hardened, and he looked at the old eunuch with icy eyes, saying:
"Hehe, how long have you been following me?"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said:
"Your Majesty, it has been three years!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said:
"Three years have passed! I never imagined that even after so long, there would still be people plotting against me!"
Haha, really, how ridiculous! Do you really think I'm still the same emperor I used to be?
