Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 16
It has to be said that the princes of the Ming Empire are really freaks. If the princes of other empires knew that they were going to go out with the army, most of them would probably not be willing, and would even find ways to shirk it.Unlike the princes of the Ming Empire, they were all ecstatic when they heard that they had the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

The four princes pointed out by Zhu Piao left with a smile on their faces. They had to go back and prepare well for their first battle.

In a short while, besides Zhu Qi and Zhu Biao, only Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, and Zhu Yu, the king of Qi, were left in the gazebo.At this moment, the two princes rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, their faces turned red, and in the end it was Zhu Zhen, king of Chu, who mustered up his courage and said, "Brother Prince, I. That."

Zhu Biao interrupted Zhu Zhen, with a straight face and said: "It's a snowy day, the two princes don't go back to the mansion, and I will send you off alone."

Zhu Zhen trembled when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed to Zhu Yu and left.

Zhu Qi looked worried and hurried away Zhu Zhen and Zhu Yu said: "Brother Prince, you are like this, Brother Six and Brother Seven...!"

The prince smiled and said, "Old Ninth, although you are smart, but caring is messy! How about the sixth and seventh clever? And, where do you think the second and the others are now!"

Zhu Qi thought about it and said, "Second Brother and the others are waiting outside for Sixth and Seventh Brothers."

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "Besides, I bet, the second child is giving advice to the sixth and seventh child right now?"

Zhu Qi said: "Brother Prince intends to let Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother join the army."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Earlier, the emperor summoned me and deliberately asked me to lead the troops south. One is to find an opportunity for my cousin and cousin to break through the Grand Master. They practice the method of military and martial arts. If you want to break through the Grand Master On the battlefield; the two also allowed me to accumulate some combat achievements; the three fathers also let me train them intentionally, so that I can entrust them with reuse in the future."

Zhu Qi looked at Zhu Biao and asked strangely: "Brother Prince still needs to accumulate military achievements!"

It's no wonder that Zhu Qi asked this question. The Ming Empire not only recognized the crown prince, but also the royal family, civil officials, and common people, and even the military commanders only followed the crown prince.Except for Emperor Hongwu, the two great masters of the Ming Empire are all officials of the Prince's Mansion, and most of the dozen or so masters have temporary positions in the Prince's Mansion. In the Ming Empire, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Prince's Mansion is the imperial court.Otherwise, the Ming Empire's Southern Expedition to the Hundred Thousand Mountains would not allow the Crown Prince to be in command easily. The leader of the southern line of defense, Duke Wei Deng Yu, is not only a strong late master master, but also a famous general of the Ming Empire. Ordinary people can't restrain him.

Zhu Biao said: "Father, after discussing martial arts with Zhenren Zhang, thought of seclusion. Although it is not closed to death, it is difficult to take care of government affairs. This time, father wants to use this as an excuse to let me take charge of government affairs."

After Zhu Qi heard this, he was not surprised at all! Emperor Hongwu's desire to pass on the crown prince was well known in the Ming Empire.

Then the two brothers chatted for a while, before Zhu Qi said: "Brother Prince, I want to move out of the palace!"

The prince was taken aback when he heard the words, then saw Zhu Qi's firm eyes, pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it! The palace is chaotic, you can go out of the palace to open the mansion, and you can rest in the imperial city. But now there is heavy snow, and you are weak and can't bear it." Running around. In this way, I will order people to tidy up the Zhao Wangfu, and you will come out of the palace in the next spring."

Zhu Qi didn't expect Zhu Biao to agree to himself so easily, and quickly said: "Thank you, Brother Prince!"

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Old Nine, although Gu promised you to leave the palace and open the mansion, he has to agree with you for three chapters. First: the daily decoction must not be stopped. If you want to stop the decoction, you must obtain Gu's consent. Second: You Zhao The Imperial Palace will send an imperial physician to accompany you, and if you feel unwell, Gu will call you back to the palace. Third: Although you are smart, you are still young, so you must not do anything wrong after leaving the palace."

Hearing this, Zhu Qi had a sour nose and said, "I understand, I dare not do anything wrong and damage my reputation." Two of the three chapters of Zhu Biao's agreement are for Zhu Qi's body, how could Zhu Qi not be moved.

The history of the Ming Empire in the Chinese mainland is quite different from that of Zhu Qi's last world.

For example: Although Emperor Hongwu canonized the princes as kings, he did not confer fiefdoms, and all the princes of the Ming Dynasty lived in the imperial city.Not only was the prince not granted a seal, but even the founder of the country was not sealed.

For example, Zhu Qi, although he was named king of Zhao, had no right to the administrative management of Zhao land. The only advantage was that 2% of Zhao land's annual taxes would go to Zhu Qi's name.

The mainland of China has a history of tens of thousands of years, and the system of the imperial family has long been perfected.Naturally, the Ming Empire would not be unconventional.

In fact, not only the system, but also the overall layout of the capitals of the empires in mainland China is very similar.

For example, the imperial capital of the Ming Empire has a radius of hundreds of miles.The innermost layer is naturally the imperial palace, outside the imperial palace is the imperial city, outside the imperial city is the inner city, and outside the inner city is the outer city.

The imperial palace is the center of the empire, the residence of the emperor, needless to say.

The imperial city is the place where the royal family lives.

The scale of the imperial cities in all countries in the mainland of China is not small. The longer the empire exists, the more descendants of the royal family will be. Only the imperial city is large enough to accommodate more descendants of the royal family.

Of course, the larger the imperial city, the longer the inheritance of the empire. Although the Ming Empire has only been established for ten years, Emperor Hongwu has the heart to inherit it for thousands of years, so the imperial city is naturally not small.However, the second generation of the Ming Empire has not yet grown up, and the third generation is only the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying.Therefore, the imperial city of the Ming Empire is naturally extremely empty.This is also the reason why Zhu Xi and Zhu Di, the princes who have already opened their houses, tried their best to leave the imperial capital.Without him, the imperial city would be too boring!

Of course, not everything outside the palace is the imperial city. In fact, the imperial city only occupies the east, west, and north sides of the palace, and the south is the residence of the imperial nobles, civil and military officials.

Emperor Hongwu went to court every day to deal with government affairs with officials.If the civil and military officials are too far away from the palace, it will delay things too much.The planning of the imperial city of the Ming Empire is nearly a hundred miles deep!With such a distance, even if the civil and military officials have cultivation bases, they still have to waste a lot of time.

After Zhu Qi knew the existence of the imperial city in the mainland of China, he had to admire the wisdom of the sages of China.The people living in the imperial city are all members of the imperial family, and they are the most staunch supporters of the empire. The emperor can not only train manpower and garrison troops in the imperial city, but also guard the imperial palace and deter officials.

Since the existence of the imperial city in the history of the mainland of China, few powerful officials threatened the existence of the imperial power.After all, all civil and military officials lived on the edge of the imperial city. Once the powerful officials threatened the imperial power, the emperor could directly send troops from the imperial city.In addition, non-royal people are not allowed to enter and leave the imperial city at will. No one except the emperor knows how much imperial heritage the imperial city has.

Of course, the longer an empire exists, the number of members of its royal family will increase exponentially. Although the imperial city, which is nearly a hundred miles deep, is not small, it can always be filled with time.So this extended to the accompanying capital and the Acropolis.

Both are capitals set up by the empire to control places or avoid wars.Although the layout of the accompanying capital is not as good as the capital of God, it is also built according to the layout of the imperial capital, and there is naturally an imperial city where the descendants of the royal family live.
