Chapter 1725: Unifying the World, Yin Li's Thoughts

This day.

In Xiangyang City, civil and military officials, together with martial arts heroes, made the fourth attempt to persuade the emperor to ascend the throne.

Su Mingzhe could not refuse, so he had to announce that on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, he would ascend the throne and establish the country "Daxia".

Daxia no longer used reign titles but instead adopted a calendar system.

Next year will be the first year of the Great Xia era.

……

After Su Mingzhe became emperor, the harem system followed the Yuan Dynasty system, with a total of five empresses.

Among them, the jade book of the empress was given to his first wife Tie Yuxiang.

There were also four other queen jade books, which were given to Ji Ruxue, Ding Minjun, Zhao Min, and Yang Caiyi respectively.

Ji Ruxue and Ding Minjun were canonized as queens because of their hard work and great contributions over the years.

Zhao Min got the Queen's Jade Book because Prince Ruyang surrendered and promised to help gather and appease the surrendered soldiers of the Yuan court.

As for Yang Caiyi, it is because she is the "yellow-shirted woman" who is the descendant of the ancient tomb.

Last year, when Su Mingzhe led his troops to attack Shaanxi, he got 'lost' and entered the back mountain of Zhongnan Mountain, and was 'stung' by Yufeng again.

Yang Caiyi had never left Mount Zhongnan. While taking care of Su Mingzhe, she was deceived by Su Mingzhe's sweet words and willingly went down the mountain.

……

In addition to the five queens, more than 30 concubines including Xianglan, Xiangcao, Zhou Zhenzhen, Zhou Yingying, Wulifang, Zhu Jiuzhen, and Wu Qingying became imperial concubines.

Speaking of Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying, Su Mingzhe still felt that he was a little guilty towards Wei Bi.

Some time ago, he discussed with Master Miejue of the Emei Sect how to attack the Ming Cult.

After the two owners of Zhuwu Lianhuan Manor, who were on good terms with the Emei Sect, learned the news, they brought their families and disciples to Xiangyang City to seek refuge.

At the welcoming banquet, Su Mingzhe only casually praised the reputation of "The Twin Beauties of Snow Ridge".

As a result, at night, the two owners sent their two daughters to Su Mingzhe's backyard.

Su Mingzhe asked casually again, the two girls seemed to have a childhood sweetheart "cousin" or "senior brother".

Two days later, Su Mingzhe heard the news that Wei Bi went out of the city for fun and was killed by people from the Demon Cult.

Poor Wei Bi.

Hateful members of the evil cult.

……

The first year of the Great Xia era.

Su Mingzhe established the court framework of the Great Xia Dynasty.

There is no prime minister, and the cabinet system is implemented directly.

There are multiple land ownership systems coexisting.

The amount of private land owned by an individual cannot exceed one thousand mu, or ten hectares.

The excess amount will either be distributed to descendants, clan members and relatives, or sold to the state at market price.

In addition, those who owned private land were subject to the "Enfeoffment Order", which meant that after the owner passed away, his sons would share the property equally.

In addition, the sale and purchase of some lands is strictly prohibited and they are rented out to local farmers at low prices, and the rent and tax cannot exceed 15%.

Abolish the population tax.

In the military, a large corps and conscription system were implemented.

Science and technology make our country strong.

……

March, the second year of the Daxia era.

Su Mingzhe led an army of 100,000 to attack the Sky Eagle Sect.

Under Zhang Wuji's mediation, the Sky Eagle Sect handed over its territory and withdrew from the fight for world supremacy.

May.

Su Mingzhe led a large army to attack the White Lotus Sect.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Chang Yuchun and others fought hard but were eliminated by Su Mingzhe in Bozhou.

The White Lotus Sect led the main force of the Red Turban Army southward from Dadu, and fought decisive battles with Su Mingzhe in Jinan, Yanggu, Damingfu and other places. They were defeated repeatedly and retreated to Dadu.

September.

Su Mingzhe captured Dadu and the young Ming King surrendered.

In March of the third year of the Great Xia Era, Su Mingzhe led his army to attack the Ming Cult.

Yang Xiao led the Five Elements Flag of the Ming Cult, and after failing to launch sniping attacks in Lanzhou and other places, he retreated to Guangmingding.

June.

Su Mingzhe led the army to besiege Guangmingding.

Zhang Wuji wanted to use the same trick again and went to persuade Yang Xiao to surrender.

However, Nun Miejue, who was accompanying the army, resolutely refused to allow Yang Xiao to surrender.

In the end, after Zhou Zhiruo had done her best to persuade him, Su Mingzhe finally stood on the side of Master Miejue.

Three days later.

Thousands of cannons fired at the same time, and Guangmingding was blasted into ashes.

After achieving great revenge, Miejue laughed three times, cried three times, and then led his disciples back to Emei.

Only Zhou Zhiruo became Su Mingzhe's bedside companion.

……

Three months later.

Su Mingzhe led the army back to Xiangyang City.

Early October.

After Su Mingzhe finished handling government affairs, he came to a manor outside the city.

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone inside, led by Zhang Wuji, knelt down and thanked him:

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty!"

Although Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao and others were unwilling, they also bowed down under Su Mingzhe's powerful and majestic gaze.

"Remember, from today on, there will be no Ming Cult in this world, no Yang Xiao, and no Green-Winged Bat King!"

Su Mingzhe looked at the people from the Ming Cult who were still unconvinced, but he didn't care. After all, these people had been fed the improved version of the Three Corpses Brain Pill by him.

At that time, the Great Xia army openly fired thousands of artillery and blew up Guangmingding into ashes. In fact, he sent Zhang Wuji to secretly inform Yang Xiao and others, letting them hide in the secret passage of Mingjiao and escape the disaster.

The premise for Su Mingzhe to spare the Ming Cult members is that these people must surrender to Daxia.

To this end, Su Mingzhe also took Yang Buhui, the daughter of Ming Cult leader Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhao, the daughter of Purple-Robed Dragon King, and Yin Li, the granddaughter of White-Browed Eagle King, as hostages and asked them to follow him back to Xiangyang first.

As for the others, they were all fed the improved version of the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

"When you join the Azure Dragon Society, you will all have new names. Wuji, you will be the first day of the first lunar month, Green-winged Bat King, you will be the first day of the second lunar month, Purple-shirted Dragon King, you will be the first day of the third lunar month, White-browed Eagle King, you will be the first day of the fourth lunar month, Yang Xiao, you will be the first day of the fifth lunar month..."

"The slogan of the Qinglong Society is 'White Jade Capital in the Sky, Twelve Towers and Five Cities'."

"You will form twelve floors in December, each floor will have thirty helms under it."

"When you have formed your team, you will monitor the world for us, Daxia!"

These people from the Ming Cult are not trustworthy.

However, there are always some people in this world who walk in the dark.

Therefore, Su Mingzhe simply let the Ming Cult take on this responsibility.

……

After arranging everything for the Ming Cult, Su Mingzhe returned to the harem.

Su Mingzhe went all the way to the deepest part of the harem and entered a cold palace. Inside the palace, there was only a beautiful woman with a round and charming face, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and sulking.

When Yin Li saw the man coming, a layer of deep sadness appeared on her charming face:

"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that I won't be your concubine?"

"I'm here to treat you and help you get well soon!"

Su Mingzhe explained it, then ignored the girl's wary look, walked straight to her, began to feel her pulse, then pulled her to sit cross-legged on the bed opposite her, and used his internal energy to help her remove the poison.

Yin Li practiced the Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poisonous Hands, and the toxins accumulated in his body had already penetrated deep into his bone marrow.

Su Mingzhe helped her remove the poison for more than a month, and was only able to remove most of it.

It will take at least ten days to fully recover.

Seeing the man helping her gently, even though Yin Li had a heart of stone, she couldn't help but feel touched at this moment:

"I already have someone I like. Even if you get my body, you can't get my heart!"

"Who wants your heart? I just want you."

Su Mingzhe almost didn't say what was in his heart. He smiled at the girl:
"Zhu'er, we have been together for such a long time, you should understand that I am the master of the world, and I will never let the woman I like be with another man. If you don't want to be my concubine, you can only spend the rest of your life in this harem..."
