Chapter 29
Zhao Min could only comprehend two or three out of ten of what Zhang Wuji said, while Zhang Qingming could understand five or six out of ten of it.Even so, the gist is clear.In Zhang Wuji's eyes, in terms of swordsmanship alone, Dugu Nine Swords is unfathomable, unmatched by other swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Zhao Min asked Zhang Wuji: "Wuji, Zhou Zhiruo said in a letter that Luliu has opened up the two veins of Ren and Du. She has practiced Emei swordsmanship since she was a child. If Luliu and Dugujing compete, who will win?" burden?"

"After Luliu has opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, he can move the sword with Qi. Even if Dugu Nine Swords moves are exquisite, with Dugu Jing's internal strength, even if he finds a flaw in the Green Willow Sword, he will not be able to attack it. Within a hundred moves, Luliu will surely win " Zhang Wuji said.

"Father, sister's martial arts has reached this level?" Zhang Qingming asked in surprise.

"Getting through the two veins of Ren and Du is an improvement in the realm of martial arts.

That is to say, even if there is a gap in the cultivation of internal strength in the martial arts competition before the two lines of Ren and Du have been opened up, it can be made up for by the subtlety of the moves, just like Lonely Jing fighting with you.And warriors who failed to get through Ren Du's second vein, no matter how exquisite their moves were, it would be difficult to match the warriors after getting through Ren Du's second vein, just like Dugu Jing and Lu Liu. "

"Father, if you say that, Qingming will understand. Qingming must practice martial arts diligently, and strive to reach the state of sister as soon as possible."

"Don't rush, haste makes waste. Especially the Nine Suns Divine Art you practice, you need to proceed step by step, and you must not rush forward. If you fail to break through the threshold of Xiao Zhoutian, before your internal energy is exhausted, the Nine Suns Divine Art will cover you up. Once all the fatigue and internal strength are exhausted, all the counter-effects will instantly burst and swallow you up.

This is the reason why you looked exhausted after the competition with Dugujing. " Zhang Wuji said word by word.

As Zhang Wuji said, Zhang Qingming spent this afternoon exhausted.It wasn't until after some breathing and breath adjustment at night that my physical strength recovered to seven or eight points.

"Father, just as you said, I didn't feel tired during the competition, but after the competition, I felt weak all over. Qingming will pay more attention to future competitions."

"Actually, Dugu Jing's swordsmanship is too profound, forcing you to use your full strength. Such an opponent is really rare. It would be great if you can often compete together." Zhang Wuji sighed.

Hearing his father's words, Zhang Qingming thought to himself: "Yes, why don't I want to be with her every day."

Zhao Min seemed to see what was on his son's mind, and said with a slight smile: "Qingming, we will return to the Central Plains soon. We will stay in the Central Plains for almost a year. If we are destined, we will see Dugu Jing again."

"I hope so." Zhang Qingming murmured in a low voice, and then continued: "Father and mother, come here tonight, besides discussing martial arts, I have one more thing to ask you for advice."

"Qingming, what's the matter?" Zhang Wuji asked.

"Father, mother, on the day when Qingming succeeds to the sect leader, why did the current sage suddenly send you an imperial bestowed sword? What's the meaning behind it?" Zhang Qingming looked at Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min and said.

This question not only troubled Zhang Qingming, but even Zhang Wuji couldn't figure out what Emperor Hongwu was doing, so he couldn't help looking at Zhao Min.

Zhao Min was silent for a moment, then said:

"Qingming, Emperor Hongwu suddenly gave the sword, there must be his deep meaning. I think there are three purposes."

"Mom, what are the three goals?" Zhang Qingming asked.

Zhao Min put his hands in front of his chest, fiddled with his fingers, and said:

"The first goal is Zhao'an. Mingjiao has always been Emperor Hongwu's heart disease. When you became the leader, you abandoned Ming and changed it to the sun and the moon, and got rid of his heart disease. It must be Longyan Dayue. Taking the opportunity of the imperial bestowed sword, try to win over It is not impossible for the Sun Moon Sect to become the court's martial arts force;

The second purpose is to test.In addition to testing whether the newly established Sun Moon Sect has the same slogan, we only ask the Jianghu, not the government and the public.It is also necessary to test whether Mingjiao's advocacy of Wuji will continue to affect Mingjiao's every move.

The third purpose is detection.Two days late, Dugu Jing told you that he was resting on the road, but the Gobi desert is from Emei Station to Guangmingding, so there is no place to rest.I suspect that Jin Yiwei's team must have been scouting around Guangmingding in the past two days.Once there is a change in the Sun Moon Sect one day, with the previous investigation, it will be convenient for the brigade to encircle and suppress.

However, today, Qingming was the only one who dealt with it from the beginning to the end. Your father and I had no influence on you. Jin Yiwei will definitely report today's situation to Emperor Hongwu, and Emperor Hongwu should be able to rest assured for a while. "

After listening to Zhao Min's words, Zhang Qingming's heart suddenly became clear, and he nodded and said, "Mother, you still see clearly."

Zhao Min shook his head and said, "Qingming, now that the Sun Moon Sect is in a safe place, and it does not pose a threat to the martial arts in the Central Plains, Emperor Hongwu will not have any doubts. However, if the Ming Sect wants to revive the former glory of the Ming Sect, the Sun Moon Sect must return to the Central Plains. At that time, it is hard to say whether Emperor Hongwu will have murderous intentions against the Sun Moon Sect again." Zhao Min said.

"Mother, the people don't fight with the officials. I will judge the situation. Even if the Sun Moon Sect returns to the Central Plains, I will try my best not to conflict with the court." Zhang Qingming said solemnly.

Seeing Zhang Qingming's firm eyes and confident expression, Zhao Min said comfortingly, "Qingming, you have grown up."

……

Nanjing, Imperial Study Room.

It was nearly midnight, and the wrinkled Emperor Hongwu, who was in his early years, seemed not to be tired at all. He was lying on the desk, reviewing memorials one by one.

Beside the desk, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth dressed in fine clothes and with a face like a crown jade stood aside to grind ink for Emperor Hongwu.Neither of them made a sound, and the study was very quiet.

Half an hour later, the ink grinding boy filled the teacup for Emperor Hongwu, bowed and said, "Grandfather, you have been approving the memorial for half an hour, drink a cup of tea, and take a rest."

Hearing the young man's words, Emperor Hong Wu seemed a little tired, put down the pen in his hand, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "My grandson, I am not tired."

The young man bowed and said, "Grandfather, besides tasting tea, Yun Wen has other things to report."

"Emperor grandson, what's the matter?" Emperor Hongwu asked.

"Grandfather, just now, Dugu Qianhong, the governor of Nanzhen, reported to me that Shen Jianping, who was sent to Guangmingding, sent a letter to fly pigeons from thousands of households back to Nanjing, and made a report on Guangmingding and his party."

Hearing the young man's words, Emperor Hongwu became interested, and asked: "The grandson of the emperor, quickly inherit it from me."

"Grandfather, as the news I received before, the Mingjiao has indeed changed its name to the Sun Moon Sect, and Zhang Qingming, the son of the former Mingjiao who advocated Wuji, has taken full responsibility for the educational affairs of the Sun Moon Sect. The letter also said that Zhang Qingming not only accepted the imperial gift from the emperor Shang Fang’s sword, even lost to Dugu Qianhong’s daughter Dugu Jing compared to the sword. The thousand-year-old Mingjiao has completely become history, and there will be no Mingjiao in the future.”

It was Zhu Yunqi, grandson of Emperor Hongwu who spoke.Since Emperor Hongwu appointed Zhu Yunqi as the crown prince, he has been with Emperor Hongwu every day, studying the way of governing the country with his grandfather.

Hearing this news, Emperor Hong Wu leaned back on the dragon chair, and said: "The Ming religion changed its flag, at least I have a heart problem. From then on, the Ming Dynasty has no more criticisms."

After Emperor Hongwu's words fell, Zhu Yunwen, who bowed before the case, said: "Grandpa, there is something unclear about Yunwen, please enlighten me."

Emperor Hongwu looked up at the still young Ai Sun in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his father and his most beloved son—Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

I thought that after a hundred years, the crown prince Zhu Biao could inherit the great rule and continue the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for generations to come.Unexpectedly, due to an illness, the crown prince died.

For Emperor Hongwu, his ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains were laid down for his eldest son. Unexpectedly, his favorite son came ahead of him.

The crown prince passed away early, and the problem of who to be the crown prince was again placed in front of Emperor Hongwu.

Below the crown prince Zhu Biao, the older princes have the second prince Qin Wang Zhu Xi, the third prince Jin Zhu Yan, and the fourth prince Zhu Di.

"Emperor Ming Ancestors" clearly states that "there is a heir to establish a heir, and no heir to establish a son". However, the crown prince passed away, and the second and third princes were not in a good position. The fourth prince Zhu Di became the best successor in Emperor Hongwu's heart. Candidates for the throne.

It's just that the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" was promulgated by Emperor Hongwu himself, and it was not ranked in order of seniority, surpassing the second and third princes, and making the fourth prince the crown prince, it was tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Hongwu decided to appoint the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi as the crown prince, and after a hundred years, he would inherit the throne.

In fact, in order to make Zhu Yunqi the emperor's grandson, Emperor Hongwu also worked hard.

The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi was originally a concubine, and he had a younger brother who was born on top of him. According to the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" of the Ming Dynasty, "If you have a descendant, you will establish a descendant, and if you have no descendant, you will establish an elder." He is not qualified to be the emperor's grandson.

It's just that Emperor Hongwu loved this grandson too much. After the death of Zhu Biao's royal family, he canonized Zhu Yunqi's biological mother, Lu, as the royal family of the crown prince Zhu Biao, so that he could become the grandson of the emperor and then the prince.

Of course, Emperor Hongwu knew that his most beloved grandson in front of him was more than modest and gentle, but not domineering enough. Because of this, he was often influenced by others.With such a temperament, Emperor Hongwu was naturally worried about leaving the Great Ming Dynasty to him.In order for Zhu Yunqi to become an emperor, more experience is needed to hone his domineering spirit.

Therefore, under the instruction of Emperor Hongwu, Jin Yiwei's southern and northern governors must first report to the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi about Jin Yiwei's important matters, so as to establish Zhu Yunqi's prestige.

This time sending Jin Yiwei to Guangmingding was also ordered by Emperor Hongwu, and Zhu Yunqi handed it over to Dugu Qianhong, the governor of Nanzhen.

The smiling face of the crown prince Zhu Biao flashed in Emperor Hongwu's mind, looking at Zhu Yunwen in front of him, he said, "Young grandson, if you have something on your mind, just tell me."

Seeing that Emperor Hongwu allowed him to speak, Zhu Yunxuan continued, "Grandfather, now that Mingjiao is already in decline, we can just send troops to destroy it. Why do you want to give a sect a Shangfang sword?"

After hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Emperor Hongwu stroked his face lightly, and said: "Yunwen, if we send troops to encircle and suppress, then the affairs of the Sun and Moon will no longer be a matter of Jianghu. Although Jianghu is attached to the imperial court, Jianghu is Jianghu. It is the government and the opposition, and the two cannot be confused.

Even if one day they intend to wipe out the Sun Moon Sect, at that time, they will not do it in the name of Jin Yiwei, but use the Jianghu method to solve it. "Hong Wudi said.

Zhu Yunqi didn't seem to understand, and asked in confusion: "Grandpa, what's the difference?"

"Yun Wen, the rivers and lakes and the courts of all dynasties have coexisted in one body, but each has its own rules. Trying to eliminate the power of the rivers and lakes, the courts of all dynasties have also tried, not only in vain, but also aroused people in the rivers and lakes to revolt. Attack it.

It is a living example that the Great Yuan collapsed so quickly.

You should remember one thing, the wildfires are endless, and the spring breeze blows again. It is impossible for the forces in the world to be completely wiped out.Since the forces of the Jianghu cannot be wiped out, a new order of the Jianghu must be established, used for my own use, and my Ming Dynasty will be permanently strengthened.Yun Wen, do you understand? "

"I still don't understand." Zhu Yunwen shook his head.

"I don't understand, you can slowly understand.

I have already decided to let you walk out of the palace gate and entrust the important task of establishing a new order in the world to you.Go outside and experience the feeling of being involuntarily in the Jianghu, and you will know what the Jianghu is. "

Hearing Hongwu Emperor's lecture, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly bowed and said: "Grandpa, Yunwen will live up to the great trust of Grandpa, restore the order of the world, and use it for the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongwu nodded and said: "Yun Wen, if you want to establish a new order in the world, you must break the current order in the world. I have already explained to Dugu Qianhong and Mu Qing, the governors of the South and North Towns, and ordered them to assist you in passing the rules of the world. Unify the Central Plains martial arts."

"The rules of Jianghu?" Zhu Yunqi asked in surprise.

"Yes, the rules of Jianghu.

Establish a Jianghu order that is dependent on and loyal to Daming, and protect the country of Daming forever. "Emperor Hongwu straightened his waist and said solemnly.

For Zhu Yunqi, who has never left the inner courtyard of the deep palace, Jianghu martial arts is a completely strange world. Emperor Hongwu's teachings made him confused for a while, so he asked: "Grandfather, if the martial arts in the Central Plains will be unified?" , establish our new order, how am I going to do it?"

Emperor Hongwu knew everything about the puzzlement of his beloved emperor and grandson, and replied:
"Yun Wen, three years ago I planned ahead and built a Yihua Palace in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the past three years, the Nanbei Zhenfu Envoy recruited many martial arts masters to gather here, together with the masters from Taohua Island in the East China Sea and the Mu family in Dali, it can be said that the troops are strong and strong.

I thought that a hundred years ago, I would pacify the rivers and lakes for your father and leave him a peaceful and prosperous life, but I didn't expect your father to die young and leave before me.

After leaving the palace, you will use the pseudonym Wen Tianyou and become the lord of Jiangnan Yihua Palace, sitting in Yihua Palace.With the help of Yihua Palace, they will unify the martial arts in the Central Plains. "

"Grandfather, Yun Wen will definitely fulfill his mission." Zhu Yunwen knelt on both knees and kowtowed.

"Yun Wen, Jiang Hu is similar to the imperial court, in addition to suppressing, there is also the need to win. This time I gave the sun and the moon to teach Fang Fang the sword, on the one hand, it is a warning, and on the other hand, it is also a win.

To establish prestige in the martial arts and unite the hearts of all people, one must defeat the strongest opponent.The Central Plains Wulin recognizes Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei as the three major sects, and if these three major sects are subdued, the other upstarts of the martial arts will not be afraid.

In addition, if there is a Jianghu woman with a prominent background and who obeys discipline, she can also be included in the harem as a concubine. Through marriage, the Jianghu power of Yihua Palace will be consolidated.With such power in the world, after a hundred years, I will be able to use it to check and balance your princes and uncles. "Emperor Hongwu thought for a while and said.
