I opened the Ming Dynasty

As the bell for court rang, the melodious and heavy sound seemed to solemnly announce the start of a new day of court proceedings.

Everyone quickly put their ceremonial attire in order, their expressions solemn and dignified, they stood in order according to their respective positions with an extremely rigorous attitude, each of them straightened their backs, with solemnity written all over their faces, as if they were performing a sacred ceremony.

They all have their own different thoughts and expectations. Some are silently thinking about how to put forward their political views, some are thinking about how to deal with possible situations, and some have flickering eyes, and it is unknown what they are planning.

But no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they were all quietly waiting for Zhu Di's arrival. The entire Golden Throne Hall was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere that made people almost dare not breathe deeply, as if even the air had become heavy.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, a loud noise came from a distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhu Di slowly walking towards them, surrounded by a group of guards.

However, what was shocking was that there was a group of Jinyiwei following Zhu Di, and what they were carrying was an extremely luxurious toilet!

The toilet was shining with gold, inlaid with various gems and gorgeous decorations, and it sparkled in the sun, making it impossible to open your eyes.

Everyone was shocked; no one expected Zhu Di to be so unexpected.

It turned out that Zhu Di had probably learned a lesson from the sudden urge to go to the toilet yesterday, and he came up with such a ridiculous idea, bringing this luxurious toilet with him to court just in case.

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zhu Di walked steadily toward the dragon throne, then sat down on it. He even looked at the toilet deliberately, as if to confirm its existence.

Then he coughed lightly and glanced at his ministers with a majestic gaze, as if telling everyone that no matter what, he was still the almighty emperor.

The ministers tried hard to hold back their laughter. The expressions on their faces were extremely strange, showing surprise, confusion, and a twisted look of wanting to laugh but not daring to.

At this moment, the great general Zhu Neng stepped forward with his burly figure, and his resonant voice broke the awkward silence: "Your Majesty, today I, Zhu Neng, would like to boldly request a duel with Xiang Tian to test each other's abilities."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised by Zhu Neng's request, but he quickly regained his dignified look, and after a little thought, nodded in agreement.

All the civil and military officials in the court cheered and rejoiced when they heard the report!

It's another day of watching the fun!

Civil and military officials followed Zhu Di to the military training ground like a tide.

This military field was vast and boundless, like an open sacred battlefield. The ground was as solid as iron and so flat that one could see human figures.

Colorful flags fluttered in the wind, like proudly waving flags of victory.

The entire military field was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tension, yet also an extremely hot and enthusiastic atmosphere.

It seems as if tens of millions of strong troops are about to gallop and roar here, and endless power is about to surge here!

The momentum was like a tremendous thunder ready to burst forth, shaking the heavens and the earth, making people's hearts surge and their blood boil, as if they were witnessing the beginning of an epic and great contest!

After the earth-shaking and deafening 1,200 cannon salutes, the "Prime Minister in Black" Yao Guangxiao appeared!

He seemed like an unmarried girl, walking in a timid manner, and every step seemed to be filled with endless shyness and embarrassment.

He walked slowly towards the podium in a treacherous and hesitant manner, like a woman holding a lute with her face half covered.

That posture and expression really make dogs laugh and bark!

As he walked, his body was swaying slightly, and he seemed a little embarrassed to face everyone's gaze.

There seemed to be a faint blush on his face, as if he was embarrassed to step onto the podium. The people around him looked at him with wide eyes, their hearts filled with curiosity and surprise, wondering what was wrong with this "prime minister in black" today?

His wise and deep eyes swept across the crowd, then stopped at Zhu Di's face, and he said in his steady and powerful voice: "Your Majesty! This competition is of great significance. I propose that I preside over the subsequent matters."

Zhu Di was stunned, looked at him and rolled his eyes, saying: "You are already standing on the podium, what are you proposing? Just keep doing it!"

Yao Guangxiao cleared his throat and solemnly announced: "This competition will have three events, namely cavalry competition, archery competition and close combat.

In addition, there are eight points to note.

First, you must respect your opponent and not make any insulting remarks or actions;

Second, strictly abide by the rules of the game and do not cheat;

Third, obey the referee's instructions and do not act on your own;

Fourth, weapons should be used with caution to avoid accidental injuries;

Fifth, maintain order in the arena and do not make noise;

Sixth, exert your own strengths and do not deliberately withhold them;

Seventh, we should compete with style and show the elegance of our Ming soldiers;

Eighth, make friends through martial arts and enhance mutual friendship.

I hope all contestants will keep this in mind, go all out to show themselves, and bring glory to our Ming Dynasty!"

Everyone looked solemn and listened to Yao Guangxiao's words with great concentration. They secretly vowed in their hearts that they must stand out in this competition and show their extraordinary strength.

I saw many generals on the parade ground eager to sign up, rubbing their hands, eager to compete with me. There was a blazing light in their eyes, which was the desire for battle and the persistence for victory.

After careful consideration, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao finally made up their minds and solemnly announced that the first battle would be between the majestic general Zhu Neng and me in a fierce cavalry competition!

And the Minister of War Wade, who has the reputation of "shooting the sun through the sky", will compete with me in archery skills!

What's more, the Jinyiwei commander-in-chief Wanyuanhu, who has the reputation of "his sword makes people grow old", will also engage in close combat with me!

For a moment, the entire military field seemed to be shrouded in this tense and expectant atmosphere, and a series of exciting duels were about to begin!

Amidst everyone's eager anticipation, the first to appear was General Zhu Neng.

He was seen riding a tall and mighty black warhorse and slowly entering the training ground.

The horse's fur was as shiny as ink, and its four hooves stepped powerfully on the ground. Every step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, splashing up a little dust.

Zhu Neng was wearing gorgeous and sturdy armor, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

He sat upright on the horse with his tall and straight body, his face firm and stern, his eyes sparkling, revealing the calmness and confidence of a veteran in the battlefield.

In his hand he tightly grasped a two-meter-long diamond spear, the tip of which flashed with cold light, as if ready to pierce the enemy's chest at any time.

His cloak fluttered in the wind and fluttered with the pace of his warhorse, adding a touch of elegance and grace!

When he came to the center of the parade ground and pulled the reins, the warhorse let out a long neigh that echoed through the sky, as if announcing to everyone how powerful it and its master were!
