Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 1418
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Of course I can trust my brother, I just follow the usual practice and ask casually." After speaking, he remembered something, his face was gloomy, and he sighed for a long time, saying: "I am in charge of the government myself. Since then, I have done both good and bad things, which can be described as mixed. What I regret most now is that I should not have listened to the villain's slander, dismissed my nephew as the crown prince, and made my son the crown prince. Back then, I I once made a solemn oath that if I change the crown prince, I will have no children and grandchildren. Now I have received retribution, but it is too late to regret. The only thing I can do now is to preserve the throne of the Zhu family and prevent him from falling into the hands of foreigners .” Speaking of this, there was a stern light in his eyes, which was very scary.

Fang Jianming secretly said: "Since I know why today, I have already learned about the heavy oath you made from Yanmei. Although I don't believe in retribution, you have indeed gone too far in this matter."

Zhu Qiyu put away the sharp light in his eyes, and said slowly: "It has been 89 years since Emperor Taizu founded the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know how many twists and turns I have experienced when it was passed on to me. But in the past 80 years, no matter how many twists and turns , it can be said that it is all the internal strife of my Zhu family. My great-grandfather, Emperor Chengzu, Jing Nan, won the world from Emperor Jianwen, and King Han and King Jian conspired to take the throne of my grandfather, Emperor Renzong. These are all facts, but no matter who wins In the end, the surname Zhu will be the emperor. Brother, don’t you think so?”

Hearing what he said, Fang Jianming was secretly surprised.Zhu Qiyu, as today's emperor, talked about his ancestors like this. If the civil officials in the court heard it, many "remonstrators" who thought they were the mainstay of Ming Dynasty would have to refute it to the end even if they were "court stick".Zhu Qiyu said such words in front of Fang Jianming, it can be seen that he really came from the heart, otherwise, even the king of a country would not be able to afford such rebellious words.

Fang Jianming thought about it seriously, and said: "The emperor's words make sense."

Zhu Qiyu heard this, and suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was weird, like weeping, and said: "But brother, do you know that in a few days, this great Ming country will change its surname."

Fang Jianming's complexion changed drastically, and he said, "Why did the emperor say that?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Didn't you see that the Zhengtian Sect blatantly held a martial arts unification conference, clearly wanting to rebel."

Fang Jianming said loudly: "This is impossible."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I didn't believe it earlier, but now the facts are in front of me, so I can't help but not believe it. Three years ago, Shuangshizhuang was established, and I was a little aware of it at that time, so I asked Fifth Uncle to pay close attention to Shuangshizhuang. Every move, but what I didn't expect was that my fifth uncle would change his temper and make Xiangyang a mess. I couldn't figure it out. I wanted to call my fifth uncle to the capital to find out what happened, but he said he was seriously ill I can't come here. I know that my fifth uncle has been quite famous in Xiangyang for more than ten years. Now that Shuangshi Village has been destroyed, I also know that it is not that my fifth uncle has changed his temper, but that he was faked. The matter could have ended here, but the Zhengtian Sect's Unified Martial Arts Conference is still going on, which makes me very scared, Dugu What exactly does Jiu Tian want to do? His relationship with Shuangshizhuang is no longer a secret, without Shuangshizhuang, without the fake King of Xiangyang, he still dares to hold this meeting, isn't his purpose obvious?"

Fang Jianming was in a daze.He is not surnamed Zhu, let alone Zhu Qiyu. Although he has already noticed some signs, he will not and is unwilling to think about it. Now, out of consideration for his own interests, Zhu Qiyu tore up all this and put it in front of him, which made him a little caught off guard.

After a while, Fang Jianming came back to his senses, and asked slowly: "Your Majesty, if you thought Zhengtian Sect wanted to rebel, why didn't you order to prohibit the holding of the martial arts unification conference?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "I haven't been in court for nearly two months, how can I order to ban it? Besides, Zhengtian Sect is already powerful, and my order to ban it is undoubtedly to give Dugu Jiutian an excuse to put justice on his side." .I regret it now. I regret that I was so confused at the time. I thought that Zhengtianjiao and the Flying Fish Gang would be both losers. I only know now that I am a tiger. They will come to the capital at any time."

Fang Jianming said: "If this is the case, the emperor still has millions of soldiers, thousands of firearms, and loyal martial arts masters, can't he still fight the enemy?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled, very bitterly, and said: "I think my virtuous brother knows a little bit about what happened in Zhengtian Sect back then."

Fang Jianming pondered for a while, and said: "The emperor is referring to the Qitian leader of the Zhengtian sect?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and said: "Yes. Back then, Emperor Taizu wanted to eradicate this trouble because of Zhengtian Sect's growing power, but unfortunately, the leader of Qitian Sect was worthy of being a generation of heroes, and he thought of using his own life to add The lives of the five elders were exchanged for the preservation of the Zhengtian Sect. Since then, although there have been no members of the Zhengtian Sect in the court, the Zhengtian Sect is still powerful and still has the title of the first martial arts sect. After 25, My great-grandfather, Emperor Chengzu, had no choice but to personally visit the teacher of Dugu Jiutian, who was the previous leader of the Zhengtian sect, Dugu Dongtian, to defend the rear with the help of Zhengtian sect. At that time, Emperor Jianwen sent Li Jinglong to lead 50 The ten thousand army marched towards Beiping. The reason why Beiping was able to hold on was due to the efforts of the soldiers and people in the city. After the emperor, the order issued by Emperor Taizu during his lifetime was removed: no one from the Zhengtian religion should be allowed to be an official. Once this order is removed, people from the Zhengtian religion will naturally be able to enter the court to serve as officials. When my great-grandfather, Emperor Chengzu, was alive, The method is very clever, and he controlled the affairs of the Zhengtian Sect like a fish in water, so that the Zhengtian Sect did not even dare to conspire against him. For a person like him, I think that before he was alive, he had already figured out a way for his descendants to deal with Zhengtian. It is a pity that the old man died in the barracks during the fifth northern expedition. Whether there is a way to deal with the Zhengtian sect has become a secret. The old man has practiced martial arts all his life, and his body is very strong. , was only 65 years old when he died, and now I wonder if it was the work of the Zhengtian Sect. My grandfather Emperor Renzong is not like my great-grandfather, which can be seen from his temple name, and my father Emperor Xuanzong, The Zhengtian Sect has been in the development stage. When my brother came to power, the Zhengtian Sect deceived my young brother and started to move around. The ridiculous thing is that Wang Zhen stepped forward at this time and suppressed the momentum of the Zhengtian Sect. At that time, Zhengtian Sect's "Longevity Bottle" was lost in the rivers and lakes, and finally fell into the hands of Wang Zhen. Whoever from Zhengtian Sect dared to ask him for it, didn't they dare to fight Wang Zhen? In the civil engineering war, the emperor's brother was dusted, The Zhengtian Sect took the opportunity to expand the power of the court, and when I took power, it was a time when all kinds of things were waiting to be done. How could I investigate them one by one, so that the people of the Zhengtian Sect went deep into the court, and the tail was too big to lose. I said so much , just to explain that there are quite a few Zhengtian Sect members in the court, and they can rise up to rebel at any time."

After Fang Jianming listened, he murmured: "These people are actually nothing to be afraid of. As long as the emperor can unite the ministers in the court, such as the upright old ministers like Mr. Yu Ge, I think they will be able to make things right."

Zhu Qiyu sighed, and said: "Mr. Yu Ge has been working hard on state affairs, exhausted physically and mentally, and has been ill for many days. Most of the ministers around me are useless. It is difficult to find a trustworthy person."

Fang Jianming thought of one person and asked, "Where is General Shi?"

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Shi Heng is quite sincere, with him around, I feel much relieved."
