Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 8 Unifying the Country Liu Bowen
Bodhisattva heart, thunder means.

This is Zhu Biao's overall evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang after seeing a series of tactics in the late Ming Dynasty.

He did kill a lot of people. In just a few months, he killed more officials and nobles than Chongzhen had been emperor for more than ten years.

But under his governance, there were no more refugees who died of cold and starvation everywhere in Peiping City, no more plagues ravaged, and he also saved countless people.

Zhu Biao felt that this was what a good emperor should do.

Of course, he also evaluated these things in his heart, and then silently cheered on Lao Zhu, expecting him to complete the trial mission as soon as possible.

After all, he is still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, and there is not much he can do except cheer.

His daily itinerary is as follows.

Every morning, he gets up at [-]:[-], runs and exercises for an hour, and then eats breakfast. In the morning, he learns cultural knowledge with Song Lian and other civil servants. He takes a two-hour lunch break at noon.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, you can lie down in the bed that the maid has already warmed and rest.

Yi Lai stretches out your hand, food comes to open your mouth, what you want to eat, someone will arrange it properly for you in one sentence, what you want to play, and one look will immediately someone find it for you.

It can be said that in the past few months, for Zhu Biao, there is nothing to worry about except studying every day.

And he does not resist learning. Although he came from modern times, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. He is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and it is the time when he needs to learn, whether it is literature or military strategy. The shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, there is no harm in learning a little more.

This kind of life, apart from the absence of mobile phones and computer entertainment, has nothing to hope for for him.

On this day, the normal study was over, Zhu Biao had just had dinner, and suddenly heard that a minister came to see him.

This is a new thing. Since he was named crown prince, because of some taboos, few ministers will visit him in the East Palace privately, especially at night.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister Liu Ji bows!"

When someone came in and announced his name, Zhu Biao felt another move in his heart.

This is Liu Bowen, who is Zhuge Liang who has three points in the world and who dominates Liu Bowen in the world?
He looked at Liu Ji carefully, and found that this man was really strange. At this time, Liu Ji should be in his 50s, but he still looked like he was in his 40s or [-]s.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister was ordered by His Majesty to come here to teach His Highness some internal training methods to strengthen the body."

"From today, every day after dinner, the old minister will come to teach His Royal Highness for an hour." Liu Ji did not wait for Zhu Biao to ask questions, and directly explained the purpose of his visit.

Zhu Biao's heart moved, according to the original historical trend, Zhu Yuanzhang would never do this.

The standard he set for his heir was Emperor Wen, who wanted to bring the country to rest and recuperate.

And people who practice martial arts inevitably like to use swords and weapons rashly, so he has never let Zhu Biao practice martial arts.

But now history has changed.

This should be the first decision that Lao Zhu made to affect the direction of history after he had read the history of the Ming Dynasty, especially after knowing that Prince Zhu Biao died of illness in Hongwu 25 years ago.

"It seems that Lao Zhu still cares about my body!" Zhu Biao felt a hint of warmth in his heart.

"But Lao Zhu asked Liu Ji to teach him kung fu. Isn't Liu Ji a civil servant?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Biao's heart.

"Mister knows kung fu?" Zhu Biao didn't bother to go around, so he asked directly.

A hint of pride flashed on Liu Ji's face when he heard the words, he stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Highness does not know something, the old minister practiced Taoism for ten years when he was young, and he also worshipped famous martial arts masters. One of the three martial arts masters of the dynasty."

Martial arts masters are first-class masters in the arena. According to the information Zhu Biao has obtained during this period, there are definitely no more than ten first-class masters in the Ming Dynasty.

He did not expect Liu Ji to be one of them.

This somewhat challenges his three views.

It's no wonder that later generations' descriptions of Liu Ji have so many mysterious colors. It turns out that this is really a god!

"It turns out that Mr. is not only rich in five cars, but also a great master of martial arts, which is amazing!" Zhu Biao complimented him without hesitation.

Then he was a little curious: "Sir said that there are three martial arts masters in the country, but as far as I know, apart from Mr. Chang, there is only General Chang Yuchun, who is the other?"

"Xu Da, Xu Tiande!"

"It's just that Xu Da is a low-key person, and he rarely shoots, not many people know about it!" Liu Ji said.

Zhu Biao nodded suddenly.

Sure enough, the entire Daming Xu Da should be the most capable.

"But the two of them are different from the old man!"

Liu Ji stroked his beard and continued to give popular science to Zhu Biao: "What they practice is hard gong, and they rely on the battlefield to fight to increase their strength. Although the speed of practice is fast, it is easy to leave dark wounds. Injured."

"And the old ministers are practicing internal kung fu. As long as you master the tricks, not only will you not hurt your body, but you will even have the effect of prolonging your life."

"Just like Zhang Zhenren in Wudang Mountain, his inner family kung fu has reached its peak. It is said that he is over 100 years old and is still alive."

"Oh...!" Zhu Biao was really interested.

Traveling back to ancient times, how could he not be interested in kung fu.

Before, he had consulted with his two guards, who were considered second-rate masters, and had practiced randomly a few times, but his guards basically practiced hard skills. .

As Liu Ji said, hard work hurts the body, especially for Zhu Biao, who is still growing, so he endured it.

He is waiting for Lao Zhu to help him complete the qualification test task. At that time, he will be rewarded with both exercises and martial arts qualifications. Coupled with the huge resources that he can mobilize as a prince, he is still afraid that he will not become a martial arts master?

But now there is a great master in the family by his side, and Zhu Yuanzhang specially sent him to teach him martial arts, so he doesn't have to wait.

"Then how do you get the hang of it?"

"Sir, do you have any peerless exercises to pass on to me?" Zhu Biao looked at Liu Ji expectantly and asked.

"Oops!"

When Liu Ji saw Zhu Biao's expression, he suddenly woke up and couldn't help crying.

Although he is a great master of martial arts, in comparison, he is more of a civil official, and he also recognizes his identity as a literati.

As a civil official, especially a civil official who wants to display his ambitions, he does not want the emperor who succeeds Zhu Yuanzhang to be a person who likes martial arts and is obsessed with Taoism!
Therefore, although he took over the assignment of Zhu Yuanzhang to teach the prince to practice martial arts, he was ready to convince Zhu Biao that he had no future in martial arts, and that reading and writing was the right way.

At that time, when Zhu Yuanzhang asked, he could say that the prince himself was unwilling, and the matter was over.

But I was praised a little by Zhu Biao just now, and suddenly the old problem happened again, and people were a little lost. I inadvertently talked about the benefits of martial arts again and again, but it aroused Zhu Biao's curiosity.

"But don't panic, His Royal Highness is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. It's not easy for him to change his mind and hate practicing martial arts!" Thinking of this, Liu Ji smiled slightly and suddenly felt confident.
