Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 126 Inside Story
"Your Majesty! If I become the emperor, it will be late every day. By that time, my father will not chop me with a sword."

Zhu Biao shook his head with a smile and said, "You! You are still so lazy!"

Since ancient times, the throne has been an extremely sensitive topic, let alone discussing the ownership of the throne with the emperor.Zhu Qi is probably the only one in the world who can be so relaxed and calm.

In fact, Zhu Qi is so calm because he has confidence in his heart.One; Zhu Qi's current strength already has the qualifications to overwhelm the world. Although he cannot be invincible, there are very few people in the entire Chinese mainland who can kill Zhu Qi.Both; Zhu Qi really doesn't like common things.It's okay to let him make suggestions, but Zhu Qi can't bear to deal with the memorial every day.Therefore, Zhu Qi really has no ambitions for the throne.The Martial Arts League under Zhu Qi's command is still managed by Dao Yan.

Zhu Biao also knew Zhu Qi's temperament, so he joked about it.

"A month ago, the Great Song Empire sent a letter of credence, intending to marry the Great Ming Empire. The emperor was very displeased, but he couldn't refuse! All the emperor's younger brothers have marriage contracts, and the emperor of the Song Empire will not surrender himself. She is the side concubine of my palace in the Ming Empire. The only thing left to worry about is you, the ninth brother!"

Zhu Qi was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a relationship.

"Old Nine, you are famous now, and the Great Song Empire will definitely try to find a chance to marry you. Originally, I discussed with my father alone, so that the Great Song Empire would retreat in spite of difficulties, so that it would not hurt each other's peace. Even if the Great Song Dynasty If the empire wants to continue the marriage, it will be time to choose one of the nobles. Now it is...!"

Zhu Qi asked with some puzzlement: "Your Majesty, Father is not willing to marry!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "At first I didn't understand the deep meaning of the father. The father once said that the Ming Empire should not only let the people have enough food and clothing, but also let the people straighten their spines. Once they marry the Song Empire today, the group of literati in the future You will make progress, after the marriage, you will be married!"

"When the Ming Empire was first established, there were no rules for everything, so this rule cannot be set!" Zhu Biao said firmly.As the emperor of the Ming Empire, Zhu Biao naturally took a long-term view. If an empire loses its backbone, it will go downhill and eventually perish.

Emperor Hongwu started at the end of the century, so he could see clearly the faces of the family members. In the eyes of the family members, stability is above all else, even if this stability is only the stability of one family.Therefore, the Ming royal family must take precautions.The most important reason why Zhu Qi was valued by Emperor Hongwu and Zhu Biao was that Zhu Qi had a long-term vision and could see the hidden problems in many policies of the empire.

Of course, what Zhu Biao said was only part of the reason why the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty refused to marry.

There is another very important reason that Zhu Biao didn't mention, that is, there are no land gods in the Ming Empire now.Although the Ming Empire was powerful, but without land gods, the Ming Empire lacked confidence. Although Emperor Hongwu didn't want to marry, he didn't want to turn against the Song Empire either.

The strong will always be strong, and the weak will survive.This is the eternal truth.It is precisely because the Great Song Empire has land gods sitting in command, so Zhu Biao can only try to refuse.Domineering is the patent of the strong, but the weak are not qualified for this.

Although Zhu Biao didn't say anything, Zhu Qi also felt the strangeness behind this matter. If the Ming Empire didn't want to get married, it would just go back to the Song Empire, so why use such a method!

This matter, no matter how you look at it, is that the Ming Empire is afraid of the Song Empire.Could it be that the Great Song Empire still had means unknown to itself that could deter the Great Ming Empire.

Zhu Qi couldn't figure it out, but how could Zhu Qi think that there is no land god sitting in the Nuoda Ming Empire!

"Your Majesty means to ask my younger brother to make a marriage contract first!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "The mission of the Great Song Empire will leave in a few days. If you don't have a marriage contract, it's hard to prevaricate."

Zhu Qi frowned in thought!
Zhu Biao is right!The marriage between the two countries is of great benefit to the Ming Empire, and the imperial court absolutely supports it.

However, although Zhu Qi did not object to this marriage, Zhu Qi was very displeased with the marriage contract that involved too many political interests.What's more, the Martial Arts League is planning the Great Song Empire. If he married the Great Song Empire, wouldn't it be very embarrassing to get along with the princess in the future.

"Your Majesty! It's really not easy to make a marriage contract in a hurry. If the younger brother refuses in the name of 'Wen Zong', I don't know if it is feasible."

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said, "Although the name 'Wen Zong' is honorable, it is inappropriate to refuse it rashly. Moreover, the civil and military officials may not agree."

Zhu Qi's eyes flashed brightly and said: "What about the great 'Wen Zong'?"

"Great 'Wen Zong'!" Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, looking at Zhu Qi, he said, "Ninth Brother, you have the hope of becoming a big 'Wen Zong'."

Zhu Qi has the blessing of past life wisdom, so it is not difficult to become a great 'Wen Zong', but although Zhu Qi is determined in his heart, he still shakes his head.

At his age, the achievement of a little 'Wen Zong' is already shocking the world. If he really established a sect, it would be too monstrous.Moreover, even if he established a sect, Zhu Qi would not choose now, otherwise it would be difficult to explain!

"Your Majesty, my younger brother wants to retreat and devote himself to studying in order to become a great 'Wen Zong'!"

Zhu Biao said in a daze: "Ninth brother, if you retreat with this, I'm afraid you won't become a big 'Wen Zong' and you won't be able to get out. Otherwise..."

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my brother has learned a little bit from reading these years, and studying in seclusion may not fail to become a great 'Wen Zong'. Moreover, my brother has been recuperating in the palace for many years, and I have long been used to it. It is impossible to leave the mansion. hinder!"

Zhu Biao pondered for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine! You stay behind closed doors and devote yourself to studying knowledge. For this reason, the civil and military courts will not force you too much. It's just that it is not easy to establish a sect, so don't be too persistent! After this period of time, the court will not stare at you."

Zhu Qi understands that Zhu Biao is worried, but he has the blessing of past life wisdom, which is different from those people who are hurt by extreme wisdom.

The two brothers continued to gossip, and Zhu Biao left.

In fact, Zhu Biao didn't need to make a fuss about the marriage of an ordinary prince.

No way!This person is Zhu Qi, Zhu Biao cannot but be cautious.Not to mention Zhu Qi's "Wen Zong" name, just say that Zhu Qi's advice for the court these years has greatly increased the national power of the Ming Empire. What's even more frightening is that Zhu Qi's vision is extremely long-term. The national policies that contribute are becoming more and more important.

Therefore, Zhu Biao has been carefully protecting Zhu Qi.

Even the rules of the royal family were stopped several times by Zhu Biao abruptly, but Zhu Qi didn't know it.

With the spread of Zhu Qi's reputation, the imperial court soon issued an imperial decree, canonizing Zhu Qi as the "Wenzong" of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there was no title for this canonization, the court also recognized Zhu Qi's literary name.

After Zhu Qi received the imperial decree, he quickly wrote to the imperial court; for the development of the Ming Empire's literature and Taoism, he had to retreat and study, hoping to establish a sect.
