The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"It's... the first time I've heard what my lord said." Obviously, it's not that Zhao Zijie didn't believe Zhang Fan's words, but that he was really stunned by what Zhang Fan said, "I didn't expect That Wang Qianhu, whose martial arts are so strong, is not a disciple from any sect, but like a master from below.

"However, when I heard what your lord said, I remembered it. That day when I met you for the first time in General Liu's army, it happened that Lord Wang was fighting with Young Master Liu on the martial arts field in the army. Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang's martial arts are too different, and Mr. Wang has never shown his true skills, but I have never seen the starting and exerting methods of some of the moves, and I thought they were I am ignorant and ignorant, now that I have heard my lord say this, I understand it now."

"Why do you all think that all people with high martial arts skills come from famous schools?" Zhang Fan asked, "Is it possible to say that those descendants of small schools, or those who have no school at all, are considered real?" Can't compare to these people?"

"That's not true," Zhao Zijie said, "Actually speaking, there are some truths in this, and it is also connected with other places. As long as you listen to the next one, you will understand. The famous sect naturally has the benefits of the famous sect. After all, being able to become a famous sect naturally has their unique features. Being able to become famous in the world is a skill, and for Jianghu, there are nothing more than two things to be able to become famous in the world. One is to have strong martial arts, or else Martial arts are not high, how can it be possible to become famous?

"And the second thing is to see how the martial arts master uses the martial arts he has learned. As your lord said before, some people do evil and some do good. But what I mean is that people who do evil , although he can become famous, but it will not last long. Even if his martial arts is so high that no one can match him, and he is invincible all over the world, it is only a temporary thing. There are occasional companions, but they are just friends of wine and meat. There will always be a day when the tree falls and the monkeys disperse, and people will die. Even if no one can kill him, after decades of work, he will I'm old and dead, for those great sects, instant fame is not enough, naturally it has to last for a long time, so this is why most of the great sects in the Jianghu nowadays take it as their duty to be chivalrous.

"And under this kind of admiration, the number of people going there is naturally more and more from generation to generation. Although there are not many people with extraordinary talents, there will always be them. Once there are more people from these great sects, geniuses will naturally There will be more and more, in fact, it doesn’t take too much. Each generation can produce a talented person, which can make this faction grow stronger. After a long time, not only the scale of the sect has become larger, but also its position in the arena. Come down, no one can reach you,"

"Zijie is right, it is indeed the case," Zhang Fan said. He did not mean to agree to what he said, but he really thought what he said was right. In fact, these words can not only be used in these famous families The same is true of Dapai in many places, including various aristocratic families who are not in the rivers and lakes, or people with family backgrounds in the imperial court, whichever is not the case.

First of all, it is necessary to produce a talented person, who can mix face and status, and then, through what he has obtained now, to gradually strengthen himself, and after a long time, he will naturally become the big family of today.

"However, it is precisely because of this that there will be problems," Zhao Zijie continued, "This sect is so big, not only the space it occupies, but also the number of people, and when there are more people, among them The matter is not simple, the sect is big, and the sect has many disciples, what is involved is not only martial arts training, but also various power struggles, although I am not a disciple of a famous sect, but the rules are still I know quite a few.

"For example, although the disciples who join the sect all come with an introductory martial art, if they want to practice more profound martial arts, unless they are very talented, then only the master favors them. People with close relations, and even some sects nowadays, always hide their most powerful martial arts, saying that only the master and his direct disciples can practice them. Just starting from this point, in order to acquire more advanced martial arts, But it has already changed the appearance of the people below. There are people fighting for power and forming cliques everywhere. In the end, I am afraid that those who can get what they want are often not the most talented people, but the most connected people.

"Your Excellency may have also heard that many famous chivalrous men in the Jianghu are mostly disciples of some famous sects. They act chivalrously and save countless people. However, a few of them are really because of the martial arts of these famous disciples. , from my point of view, there are only three points at most, and there are seven points left, but it depends on the face of their sect. Wherever they walk, they report their origins. They will be courteous, to put it bluntly, these people can become famous, but they really don’t rely on their own true skills, "

"I haven't thought about these things before, but now I hear Zijie say this, it's really the case," Zhang Fan said, "It's true if I think about it, if I really have such a heart in my heart and act chivalrously , I'm afraid I won't be so ostentatious. I didn't show up once. Not only did I have to report my name, but I also reported my source. Now it seems that doing so is just playing tricks, "

"Your Excellency is right on point," Zhao Zijie said, "Before I arrived at the palace, I followed my master to travel all over the world. There are too many such things."

"Since this is the case, I think Zijie has some resistance to those famous schools," Zhang Fan said, "Then why does Zijie think that Wang Meng is also from those famous schools?"

"It's to blame for misjudgment in the next moment," Zhao Zijie said, "Although these great sects always have some unsatisfactory places, they also have their praiseworthy points. I have also said before that maybe Mr. Wang is one of the sects. The gifted disciples of this generation may also be, and I have also seen Mr. Wang's skills. Although I haven't seen it, but the shots are just open and aboveboard, and there is no such thing as crooked.

"However, once my lord talks about Lord Wang's origin, I think it's more reasonable. Please don't mind, Lord Zhang. However, if Lord Wang is from some kind of sect, I'm afraid he won't work for Jinyiwei. A person like Master Wang, no matter which sect he is placed in, is definitely a treasure, and he will definitely not be let out to do this."

"Zijie is right," Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"However, in this way, it also verifies what I said," Zhao Zijie said, "If it is a famous school, if a generation of disciples, if among 100 people, there are one or two people who are dedicated to practicing martial arts and have good talents, that's already It is quite good, but if it is changed to those masters who have no background and no sect, but only rely on their own temperament to accept apprentices, the situation will be different.

"For a person like this, it would be a good thing if he could accept a disciple who is highly talented but fits the temperament he wants, but after all, he is not famous, and no one will take the initiative to go there. So in the end, they still have to find it by themselves. If this happens, it will be difficult to get what they want.

"So, even if this kind of person wants to inherit his martial arts, he must accept apprentices, but the time for accepting apprentices is usually very late, but if he can't find a disciple with high talent in the end, then naturally I will give up this item and find the person with the most suitable personality.

"And this kind of master, if you accept this kind of disciple, in the end, even if the disciple's talent is not high, and you can't practice this unique martial art to a profound level, it will definitely not be too bad, after all Even without talent, having such a mind is actually enough.

"From my point of view, Lord Wang is the kind of person who is both talented and in line with the nature of the person he taught. This has created Lord Wang's current high-strength martial arts. The 'No. It is well deserved, and even I feel that it is not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Wang is the best master in the world."

"Zijie has a very high opinion of Wang Meng," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "but if Wang Meng heard it, he might dismiss it. It's not that he hates it. I'm afraid he doesn't care about these things at all."

"This is exactly what I admire most about Mr. Wang," Zhao Zijie continued.

"Hearing what Zijie said, I am even more curious." Zhang Fan suddenly changed the subject and returned to the previous matter, "Before I asked Zijie which sect he came from, and now I know Although it is not clear, I also know that some things are inconvenient for Zijie to say, and since it is inconvenient, then there is no need to ask.

"It's just that I'm even more curious. Logically speaking, a person of Zijie's background should not be a guard in the palace. Although Wang Meng is also the same, he was in the army when he was learning art. It’s different. It’s a logical thing for him to work in Jinyiwei later, but after hearing Zijie’s words, that’s not the case. Zijie should have a better way out. It's too bad, but now Zijie and I are sitting in the garden of the palace and talking, I don't know why Zijie wants to come to the palace," Zhang Fan asked. , is also what he wants to know the most, perhaps, the flaw is here.

"Well, speaking of it, this matter is not what I wish," Zhao Zijie said, "It all starts with my father,"
