[Comprehensive martial arts] Wuji his brother

Lu Xiaofeng spread the word, afraid that Ye Gucheng would also support Ximen Chuuxue after he got the news. On the night of the first full moon, neither of the two rightful masters showed up in the Forbidden City, but Wei Ziyun and the Mingjiao high-level officials arrested a large number of people who wanted to A master who slipped into the capital to watch the battle.

Yang Xiao said: "The emperor's move to lure the snake out of the hole is really beautiful. These gangsters rely on their superb martial arts and don't pay attention to the majesty of the royal family. It's time to show them some color."

Those who dared to sneak into the imperial city were long-established masters in the Jianghu, and even Yang Xiao and others made a bloody battle.What he meant was that since they had been arrested, of course they had to make an announcement to the world, and use the reputation of this group of people to let everyone in the world see the combat power of the royal guards.

But Zhang Wuzhang laughed and said: "Why bother, small punishments and big punishments mean it, just starve them a few times first. Please trouble Yang Zuoshi with my handwriting and let them go after three days."

Yang Xiao was taken aback, and suddenly realized, he praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The first step is to show the combat effectiveness of the guards. Ordinary people have no way of knowing, but they will always know who should know. Even if they don’t announce who has been arrested, anyone who wants to inquire will know it. No one will dare to underestimate the palace in the future.The emperor released the man just like that, which not only did not damage his majesty, but also showed his magnanimity.

The order is passed on, this time the past is not to blame, but if someone dares to break into the imperial city privately in the future and show their heads to the public, it will not be tolerated.Zhang Wuzhang said again, please go to Baiyun City and Wanmei Villa with Fan Youshi in person, and invite the two of them to come to the top of the Forbidden City to fight again on the night of the full moon next month.

Yang Xiao agreed, and after pondering for a while, he still said: "The emperor loves talents and cherishes talents, and he is tolerant, but I have the courage to say that this matter must be one thing, otherwise I am afraid that the heroes of the world will underestimate the royal family."

Yang Xiao was not the first to give him advice, Zhang Wuzhang smiled and said: "Naturally, apart from Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng's martial arts competition, there is no third person worthy of making an exception."

This is true in the world of martial arts, he also borrowed the help of martial arts people to take the position, but since he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, Zhang Wuzhang took this position, he would not allow the martial arts world to override the imperial power, he had already planned for this matter.

As soon as the news came out that the two were invited to a duel in the Forbidden City with the order of the emperor, although everyone in the rivers and lakes praised it, the voices of opposition in the court were not small.For example, the old minister Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Wuzhang's new group of courtiers have obvious objections. They don't have a good impression of knights. Too much.

Zhang Wuzhang tried his best to suppress all objections, and only ordered Wei Ziyun to do a good job of patrolling and defending.

In the blink of an eye it was the night of the full moon, Wei Ziyun reported that he had asked someone to bring the two of them into the palace, and Zhang Wuzhang also invited Yan Nantian and Lu Xiaofeng and others to watch the battle.

He looked a little excited, Zhang Wuzhang was reviewing the memorial, he held a writing brush and said with a smile: "This kind of martial arts event is the only one I have ever seen in my life, and they start fighting at midnight, if Xiao Xiao wants to sneak into the palace, it will definitely be in time Before, you all went to watch the battle together at that time."

Wei Ziyun is temporarily acting as the boss of Yang Xiao, Fan Yao and the others, and he also knows that with the temperament of these high-ranking people of the Mingjiao, if they hadn't been pulled by the emperor to be guards, they might be the first to sneak into the palace.Not to mention other people, even Wei Ziyun's heart moved slightly, hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "How can this be, the duty of the minister is to protect the safety of the emperor, and there is nothing in the world that is more important than protecting you."

"Before the child's hour, I will fall asleep, and I won't need you anymore." Zhang Wuzhang said.He has eccentricities, he doesn't like to be served by others, he dresses and eats like a man, and because he has martial arts, it is even more difficult to sleep when there are many people around him, so he ordered people to stay away from the palace and not to be disturbed. After he fell asleep, he also relaxed.

Wei Ziyun was startled, and hurriedly said, "Aren't you here to watch the battle?" With such a loud opposition, he wanted to push forward the battle, and he was very itchy to be the emperor.

"What if the two of them get into trouble suddenly during the martial arts competition? They are both famous people for a long time. I am proud of my martial arts, but I don't dare to take it too seriously." Zhang Wuzhang said, "If I don't go to the martial arts competition, it has already made me My subordinates are dissatisfied that I value martial arts too much, and if I really watch the battle from the sidelines, it will be another disturbance." After speaking, he sighed again and again, and his regret was beyond words.

Wei Ziyun thought in his heart that there is no reason for his subjects to go to watch the battle and leave the emperor sitting alone. He tried to evade again and again, but Zhang Wuzhang persuaded him: "Aiqing watched the battle with my own eyes, so I can talk to you tomorrow. If Yang Zuoshi and others are martial arts Gao Qiang, but not as articulate as Ai Qing."

Wei Ziyun is not only outstanding in swordsmanship, but also has extraordinary literary talents. He is confident that he can describe the scene of the battle in a dazzling manner.

Zhang Wuzhang watched him leave, with a sneer in his heart, now that there are so many masters in the palace, if they don't drive everyone away, how dare Xiao Xiao in the dark place make a move?

——————————————————————————————————————

The hour is approaching, and everyone gathered on the top of the Forbidden City, waiting with bated breath for Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue to separate into two places, standing with swords in hand.

The emperor's sleeping hall had already turned off the lights, and the lights in other palaces were also turned off.The main hall was also completely dark, a black figure groped its way in through the window, took a breath at the dragon-slaying knife hanging above the dragon chair, and showed joy in its eyes exposed outside the mask.

With a light body, he flew up obliquely, grabbed the dragon-slaying knife in his hand, and pulled out the scabbard, but there was a puff of white smoke shaking off.Even though he was wearing a mask, he hurriedly held his breath, but he still couldn't stop his dizziness, and he was concerned about not making a big noise that would alarm the guards guarding outside, so he staggered and gently placed the scabbard on the dragon chair , I couldn't hold it anymore, fell to the ground, my eyes turned black, and I couldn't even lift it up.

Someone beside him whispered: "Idiot, there is a drug in the scabbard, and you don't know that you have been tricked?"

The person who came was Gong Jiu who was dressed in black, he curled his lips in disdain, the Taoist is really incomparable to others, if it was him, he would throw the knife and jump out of the window and run away immediately.

But think about it, his ninth son doesn't need to breathe through his nose, and he won't inhale the drug.Gong Jiu was filled with a sense of superiority for a moment, and stepped forward to pull off the other party's mask, and seeing that it was indeed the prince of Pingnan, he tsk-tsk: "He hangs a dragon-slaying knife, declaring that this knife in the world is used to slay dragons, and it is for those who have dissatisfaction. If you take the bait, you step on, uh, one, two, two traps, and you won't be wronged."

He held Prince Pingnan's son on his shoulders and went to Zhang Wuzhang's bedroom.

"I'm sorry." Zhang Wuzhang had been waiting for a long time, he smiled when he saw this, and pinched the pulse of Prince Pingnan, knowing that he had indeed been tricked, he said, "Leave this person to me."

Gong Jiu threw it to him casually, put on the mask by herself, drew out the sword, pierced his chest with one sword, then lightly scratched his arm, turned around and fled towards the south.

Zhang Wuzhang hurriedly said: "Why worry, let me hide this person first."

His life is more important than anything else, even if he knows that Prince Pingnan is not his opponent, he can't bet it rashly, so he must be restrained first.But if he is intact but does not conform to the original plan, Gong Jiu is invited to do a play.

The first step is to capture the prince alive, the second step is to allow him to hide the person, and the third step is to chase me and run away for a show, but Gong Jiu doesn't know how to count, so he directly skipped the second step.Zhang Wuzhang hid him under a secret compartment in the bedroom, and conveniently removed his mask, seeing that his facial features, eyes, mouth and nose were [-]% similar to his own, he praised the plastic surgeon for his good skills.

Ximen Chuuxue had already fought with Ye Gucheng, and everyone was swayed by the sight, all dazzled and fascinated, but suddenly heard a burst of shouting and noise from the northeast, although the voice was small, but all the players present heard it immediately .

Wei Ziyun exclaimed in surprise: "Oops, it's the direction of the emperor's bedroom!" He didn't have the mind to watch the battle, so he chased after him like a ghost.

Wei Yixiao was also present, he was different from Yang Xiao and others who were called by Zhang Wuzhang to maintain law and order, but only came to watch the battle. Zhang Wuzhang was trembling with the shadow.

The emperor was only wearing an inner robe, apparently he was attacked in his sleep, and the inner robe had been cut, and his arm was also injured, but the injury was not serious.The martial arts of these two people is so high that it is rare in this world. During the fierce battle, the internal energy is radiating, bricks and tiles are flying around, although Wei Yixiao is eager to protect the master, he dare not act rashly for a while.

Fortunately, the thief was probably taken aback, and when he glanced around, there were many people rushing towards him, so he got Zhang Wuzhang's slap with such an insane kung fu, and spurted a mouthful of blood, not daring to fight, Get away.

Wei Yixiao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!" He did not hesitate to chase it all the way.

Zhang Wuzhang didn't chase anymore, after this delay, others had already rushed over, Wei Ziyun saw that Yang Xiao and others had also chased after him, although his swordsmanship was good, his lightness skill was mediocre, so he knelt down on the ground with a plop, bowed his head and said: "Mr. If you don’t do your job well, ask the emperor to punish you!”

Lu Xiaofeng didn't care about watching the martial arts competition and hurried over, "Are you all right?"

Zhang Wuzhang's complexion was very ugly, he forced a smile on his face, then drooped down again, and said after a long while: "Master Wei, get up, and quickly arrest the enemy, this assassin came prepared, with the help of the Forbidden Peak If you want to do something wrong in the martial arts competition, he is definitely not alone." After saying that, he ignored everyone and walked away.

Gong Jiu's martial arts are quite evil, and Zhang Wuzhang told him a secret way in the palace, so he slipped away.Yang Xiao and others returned empty-handed, Zhang Wuzhang ordered people to thoroughly investigate the matter, unexpectedly found many spies of King Pingnan in Dadu City, and exposed the fact that this person wanted to commit treason.

This matter has been rumored in the Jianghu for a while. It is rumored that the emperor was furious and held this grand event in the palace with good intentions, but was used by villains instead, fearing that he would feel bad for the Jianghu.The big and small sects clench their tails and watched the changes. Sure enough, three months later, the emperor issued a detailed decree to regulate the behavior of people in the world.The top leaders of the Mingjiao had many vain positions and had no real power. Since then, the church and state have been separated, and they are completely out of control.

Zhang Wuzhang's arm wasn't seriously injured, but he just lay on the bed for half a month in order to find an excuse for the Thunder's fury.One night, he was joking with Linghu Chong, who came to visit him after receiving the news, and seemed to have no intention of asking Wu Yue's reaction to his ban.

Linghu Chong sighed: "It's a lie to say that there are no complaints. The martial arts inheritance is the most important division. The master and the ancestors are the sky. Now the emperor is the sky. Even the number of disciples recruited by each sect and sect is given. There are always people muttering Sentence." He said again, "But the five mountains have all received your great kindness, not to mention that you have enough reasons for this, and some dissatisfaction is limited, so you can't make a big storm."

Yue Buqun is the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, he has always obeyed the imperial order, Linghu Chong also urged Huashan to obey, and with the leader, the other four Sacred Sect leaders also knew that the situation was inevitable, so they ordered their disciples to rectify.

Zhang Wudan said: "This is very good."

Zhang Sanfeng's heart is also like a mirror, one moment at another, chivalrous use of martial arts to ban and let the emperor control the sect, it must be unpleasant in the short term, and it is not good for the inheritance of martial arts, but in the long run, it is beneficial to both parties, the number of disciples is affected It is better to suppress Wudang with a large army.

With Wudang and Wuyue taking the lead, Kongwen from Shaolin Temple refused to take the lead in resisting the decree, and the remaining sects could not complain no matter how much they complained, not to mention that since Zhang Wuzhang came to power, he has treated the people generously, and the decree issued this time did not push them to a desperate situation , then also recognized.

Zhang Wuzhang deliberately asked: "Are you angry with me?"

Linghu Chong said sincerely: "For martial arts people, you are not a good emperor, but for the common people, you can be called a wise emperor, and that's enough."

Not to mention other things, the Huashan faction originally occupied a mountain, not to mention, the several side peaks of Huashan were originally their property, and now they are also taken up by the court, and returned to the people after regulation. This alone has lost a lot of income, so Huashan is of course a big bad thing, but it is changing and changing. People have more land in their hands, and everyone is full of joy, and the joy is beyond words.

Linghu Chong took out this list and said at the end: "Thinking about it now, many privileges in the past should not have been granted. They are all human beings. Whoever is more noble than others, I just worship Huashan. I don't care about production and spend money like dirt. It's so unfair." In the troubled times earlier, Huashan disciples would frequently scatter gold leaves while walking in the rivers and lakes, and life was much better than ordinary people.

Zhang Wuzhang squinted his eyes, and said with satisfaction: "It would be great if everyone could have your awareness." As the decree is carried out, he will certainly pay attention to how well the people below implement it. It's hard to understand, but it's not far-fetched.

The emperor's grace is great, and the martial arts competition in the Forbidden City has caused a lot of criticism. During this period, something went wrong, the body of the dragon was damaged, and some villains took the opportunity to rebel. It was not easy for Zhang Wuzhang not to vent his anger on Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng. It is natural to change the attitude towards martial arts, it is not as good as before, but the attitude is not harsh.

Linghu Chong opened his mouth to speak, but paused, glanced outside the door, shook his head and said with a smile: "Someone is looking for you, I will avoid it first."

Zhang Wuzhang also noticed that there were people waiting outside the door, one was Wei Ziyun, and the other was more powerful in martial arts, he could only vaguely detect that someone was there, but it was hard to tell who it was.

It's just that there are not many masters who entered the palace all the way because of energy saving. When that person came in, Zhang Wuzhang laughed and said hurriedly: "Give me a seat." He did tell Wei Ziyun that if Ye Gucheng came to visit in the near future, you can He directly invited people in, but unexpectedly Ye Gucheng came so quickly.

Wei Ziyun moved a soft stool and stepped back lightly. Ye Gucheng didn't hold his sword, but stood proudly, and said slowly: "The person who assassinated that day was not Prince Pingnan's son."

Prince Pingnan's martial arts was taught by him personally. At that time, except for the two who were fighting, everyone else ran to catch the assassin. Ye Gucheng concentrated on the duel and didn't pay attention to it. Afterwards, he heard Lu Xiaofeng mention the assassin's physical skills. , but feel strange.

He had already warned Zhang Wuzhang through Lu Xiaofeng's mouth, and the emperor's injuries were strange.Ye Gucheng was ignorant at first, but after watching Zhang Wuzhang's series of subsequent actions, he knew that this person was taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Zhang Wuzhang was noncommittal: "The assassin may be fake, but the disobedience of King Pingnan and his son is true. Why, Lord Baiyun is here to seek justice for his disciple?"

"..." Ye Gucheng took out a roll of parchment from his bosom, and gently threw it over, "This is where the former Song treasure is hidden. You are a good emperor, and you should take it."

Zhang Wuzhang became the emperor, and he turned his head to attack martial arts figures, he would definitely bear the scolding, but he carried out policies that benefited the people despite the scolding, so even if Ye Gucheng was taken advantage of, he didn't care.Today, he is even more at ease. The person sitting on the dragon chair is not a good thing, but a good thing cannot be an emperor.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the national treasury was empty, and the gold and silver mountains obtained from the Emei Underground Palace could not fill this big hole. Not to mention that Zhang Wuzhang was short of money, this huge sum of money was in Ye Gucheng's hands. Threat, did you see that King Pingnan's fortune was all due to this property?

He didn't shirk, stretched out his hand to dissolve the overlying internal force, held it in his hand, and asked: "I don't know the result of the battle that day?" Those who can be invited to watch the battle are his relatives and friends, and the rest are his subordinates When they saw him being assassinated, they didn't care to watch the battle, but these two people had no distractions and were not disturbed by the outside world. No one knew how the battle between the two of them was going.

There was a slight smile on Ye Gucheng's face, and he shook his head: "We will meet again after ten years." After saying that, Zhang Wuzhang just smiled, and said, "I won't make an appointment with the Forbidden City, I will never meet in this imperial city again." Set foot again." After all, he is the blood of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, so he will not come to hit the new emperor's eyes.
