Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 163 The Great Zhou Wulin New Agreement

Dugu Changhui didn't respond, and pushed out her right palm directly.

Feeling the strong wind blowing against his face, Gu Yongyao realized that the other party was not joking, so he hastily used his inner strength on his left palm and quickly went up to him.

When his palms touched, Gu Yongyao took two steps back and fell down on the wooden chair, shivering several times.

"Pavilion Master Gu was rude to me Qingcheng just now, and he punished me in a small way. I hope I won't do it again next time." As soon as Dugu Changhui said this, everyone in the hall immediately understood: Although Dugu Changhui was not in the hall just now, he listened to everyone's words. In my ears, so I have to vent my anger on my husband as soon as I come in.

Li Shouyi and Jiang Shenghuo hurriedly apologized to her.

Zhao Changsheng frowned and persuaded, "Chang Hui, Li Daochang, Jiang Zhaizhu and Gu Gezhu, they are just asking a question, there is no malicious intention—"

"Don't talk!" Dugu Changhui glared at her husband angrily.

Zhao Changsheng immediately coughed twice, stroked his beard, and stopped talking.

Damn, I didn't expect this handsome old man to be an ear-scratcher! ...Xue Chang was very interested in seeing it, unlike the other heads who are already familiar with it.

Dugu Changhui looked at the two of them sharply, and said sternly after a while: "Two masters, today's matter is over, but I don't want to see it again, otherwise—" She snorted heavily With a sound, one foot stomped lightly on the ground, and a crack appeared on a thick stone slab.

The two heads quickly apologized again, and returned to their seats with embarrassed expressions.

Although Xue Chang had heard that Master Dugu of the Qingcheng School had a weird temper and was unkind, seeing it with his own eyes today really opened his eyes. Master Dugu could be so arrogant and domineering in front of the heads of all sects. , more envy: Sure enough, fists are the most important thing in martial arts!
Dugu Changhui went straight to the wooden chair on the right in the middle, and after sitting down, she frowned and looked at the empty chair on the right: in the past, she was the last one to arrive at every emergency meeting, but this time it was lucky, Jiang Shijia actually returned not here.

Although she felt uncomfortable, she still held back and didn't have an attack. She just tapped the handle of the wooden chair with her fingers.

After only a while, the officials and guards outside the hall shouted in unison: "Master Jiang is here!"

Jiang Shijia walked into the lobby in an official step without haste.Behind him was an official holding several scrolls of brocade with a solemn expression.

Faced with the greetings from the heads, Jiang Shijia only responded politely and did not stop. It was only when he saw Xue Chang that he smiled and said kindly: "Master Xue, I am very glad to see you in such an important place. The occasion appeared! The establishment of the Xiaoyao Sect really caught up with the good time!"

After saying this, before Xue Chang could respond, he walked towards the center of the lobby.

Xue Chang immediately felt that the people around him looked at him a little differently.

"Master Jiang, are you a little late, everyone is waiting for you." Dugu Changhui watched Jiang Shijia approaching, neither getting up nor saying hello, but said in a serious manner.

"My real forgiveness." Jiang Shijia cupped his hands, and said apologetically, "Oh, there have been too many things recently, and the instructions from the general manager have just arrived, so there has been a delay."

"What instructions?"

Jiang Shijia didn't answer her question anymore, just sat on the wooden chair next to him, scanned the people in the hall, and said loudly after a while: "Thank you all the masters here for attending this martial arts meeting on time! I want to You all know that at the end of June, the imperial court convened the guardians of the country and the heads of the martial arts factions from various regions to hold an important meeting in the General Tour of the Martial Arts Department in Kyoto, chaired by the emperor himself. Chang Sheng, Abbot of the Emei School, Mrs. Jing Xin, Tang Sect Patriarch Mrs. Qiu, and I all went to Luoyang to attend this meeting."

Jiang Shijia stretched out his hand to quote each of the people around him, and continued to say solemnly: "At this meeting, the emperor asked everyone to discuss some important issues related to the martial arts of this dynasty, and wanted to find a solution to the problem, so the meeting continued. It lasted for two months, which has never happened since the founding of the country, so we can see the importance of this meeting—”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and they wanted to know immediately what the meeting was about.But Dugu Changhui, Zhao Changsheng, Mrs. Jingxin, and Mrs. Qiu's expressions became more solemn.

"At the beginning of September, the heads of the various factions participating in the meeting finally reached an agreement, and re-concluded an agreement with the emperor, agreeing to modify some of the existing systems of the martial arts in this dynasty, so as to facilitate the better development of the various factions of the martial arts, so today I called everyone to come , is to announce the results of this meeting to everyone.”

Jiang Shijia paused for a moment, seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, but he got up more and more calmly. He stood up unhurriedly, took a scroll of brocade from the official standing beside him, and unfolded it solemnly. , and then said: "First of all, I want to convey what the current emperor wants to say to the various factions of the martial arts..." The pillars of the martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the northern barbarians invaded in the past, and the Central Plains fell. The reason why the Great Zhou was able to establish the country was that the martial arts of the Great Zhou contributed a lot. Afterwards, the heads of the various factions understood the righteousness and entered into an agreement with the late emperor to put the martial arts under the control of the imperial court, stabilize the order of the rivers and lakes, and maintain the peace of the country. Da Zhou can have what it is today Prosperity is due to the merits of various sects! However, with the passage of time, the accumulated disadvantages have deepened. Some sects are obsessed with comfort and do not want to make progress, and there are even people in the world who violate the law and seek personal gain...

Not long ago, the failure of the martial arts competition with the Northern Yan and the violation of law and discipline in the Pingqiang War in the Southwest have attracted our attention!Now, the Lord of Northern Yan is in charge of the government, massacring dissidents, expanding force, recruiting warriors, attacking the grasslands in the north and conquering Loulan in the west within a year, showing great ambitions, it may be difficult to maintain the peace with us for more than 20 years Longer; Dac Zanpu, another neighboring state of Dazhou, received the full support of the Lamaism in his territory a few years ago, and has annexed several subordinate states one after another, showing strong ambitions as well.

Therefore, my Great Zhou seems to be prosperous and stable, but in fact it is full of dangers. As the pillars of the Great Zhou, the various factions of the martial arts urgently need to reform their shortcomings and work hard to cope with the huge challenges that will come at any time!Fortunately, this time in the martial arts meeting of the General Tour Martial Division, the heads of the various factions understand the righteousness, which makes me very gratified!I hereby make a promise that I will never treat those martial arts sects who actively fulfill the new agreement with the imperial court badly! '..."

After Jiang Shijia finished reading the brocade silk, the hall was silent, but everyone's heart was stirred.

After a short pause, Jiang Shijia then unfolded the second volume of brocade and said loudly: "Now this official reads out the content of the new agreement between the imperial court and various factions of the martial arts....Ahem... First, starting from January next year, the Great Zhou Martial arts people do not need to go to the Xunwu Division to participate in the school inspection. They only need to register at the Xunwu Division to create a sect and teach apprentices; second, the Wulin sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty can recruit disciples at will, but the number of disciples must not exceed 50 , the imperial court will no longer issue salaries to them, and grant land grants to new sects—"

"What?!" Just as Jiang Shijia read the two articles of the new agreement, the leaders of the various factions couldn't sit still, and voices of doubt arose: "The imperial court suddenly wants to take back the increased land and not pay the salary. It doesn't want me to send work. ?!"

"I think it must be some treacherous bewitchment, which confused the emperor, and even said that he would not treat us badly. Just this "sect quota must not exceed 50 people" is enough to cause civil strife in my faction! This is nothing new Agreement, this is for the lives of our martial arts factions!"

"That's right! How could the head of the big faction who went to the meeting agree to such a condition?! Are they all fools?! Master Dugu, you keep saying, is this really a new agreement that Mr. Jiang read? It feels like a Hades post aimed at various schools of martial arts!"

……

Everyone in the lobby became emotional and gradually lost respect for the emperor, the court, Dugu Changhui, Zhao Changsheng, Master Jingxin and Madam Qiu, and their angry words became more offensive.

Jiang Shijia was indifferent. He has dealt with martial arts people for many years, and he knows that many people in the Jianghu are lawless and lack awe.

But the few people sitting next to them have always been awed by martial arts people. How could they have experienced such accusations? Can you listen to the entire agreement before expressing your opinion!"

Dugu Changhui's voice reverberated in the lobby, like a drumstick hitting the brain, making the head of each faction dizzy for a while, they immediately stopped making noise, and used their skills to resist.

In the past few months, Xue Chang has opened up the Dazhui, Yamen, Fengfu, and Naohu points one after another... his internal strength has improved a lot, and he overcame his physical discomfort after a little practice. He sat in a corner quite leisurely and continued Waiting and watching the good show, I saw Dugu Changhui looking at Jiang Shijia with an angry face again: "Master Jiang, you'd better read the agreement quickly, if you let them slander the emperor and the court like this, I will go to the palace to meet you next time." When you are holy, you must mention this matter well."

After hearing this, Jiang Shijia didn't dare to be negligent. Taking advantage of the silence in the hall, he continued to read aloud: "...Third, the number of places, land grants and salaries enjoyed by the existing martial arts sects are still the same. Remain unchanged, unless the sect ranks last three times in the future martial arts competitions in various regions, its sect quota and position will be reduced by the court; fourth, all sects registered with the Martial Arts Tournament must participate in the martial arts competitions in each region The competition system of the conference will remain the same, but the holding time will be changed from once every five years to once every three years, starting from next year;
Well, fifthly, the previous five-year conference on law in Kyoto will be cancelled, and will be replaced by a new martial arts conference, which will be held every three years. The number of existing martial arts sects in each region will be used as the number of entries. Travel to Kyoto for the conference.The martial arts conference is divided into two parts, one is the martial arts competition, and the other is the individual martial arts competition. Individuals who pass the martial arts competition assessment will become new country protectors, and the excellent martial arts will also be rewarded by the emperor himself, such as the number of martial arts quotas and land increases;

And... Sixth, if the new martial arts sect is located in an important border defense town, the imperial court will increase the number of its sects, and at the same time give salary and land grants.If the existing sects are also willing to establish branches in these places, the imperial court will also give the same rewards; seventh, the imperial court allows the martial arts sects to engage in various businesses, but they must not violate laws and regulations, and must pay taxes on time like ordinary businesses; eighth, The imperial court allows each faction to accept registered disciples or teach martial arts to ordinary people, which does not occupy the quota of the sect, but each faction is not allowed to restrain these people with sect rules and let them do things for the sect;
……

Jiang Shijia finished reading out the new agreement in one breath, and everyone present was still pondering over its content carefully, and he said in a more emphatic tone: "I also want to tell you a piece of good news, the emperor has decided to hold the first martial arts conference in June next year. The existing heads of various schools of martial arts can lead their outstanding disciples to Luoyang to attend the meeting. The emperor will also host a banquet in the palace to entertain the heads of various schools to thank the various schools of martial arts for their contributions to the court over the past 30 years The procedure of the martial arts conference is as I said just now, but the detailed rules of the martial arts competition are still under discussion between the emperor and the chief inspector. Once it is issued, I will inform you in time."

Hearing this news, the heads of all factions couldn't sit still. You must know that the Great Zhou has been established for more than 30 years, and the Dharma Conference has been held for six times. Among the powerful Qingcheng, Emei, and Tangmen sects, the other sects had no chance to show their strength in front of the emperor, but now the opportunity has come.

"Excuse me, Master Jiang, what does it mean to be outstanding?" Meishanzhai Jiang Shenghuo immediately got up and asked.

"That's a good question." Jiang Shenghuo replied loudly: "Before I left Luoyang, the emperor specifically mentioned this matter to us. It is not necessary for each faction to win the first few points in this martial arts conference. Fame is considered outstanding performance, only if you are outstanding in one aspect, for example, Tangmen's hidden weapons are unrivaled in martial arts, Flying Fish Gang's water kung fu is unique, Jinghu area's thunderbolt firearms are amazing, Shennong Gang's pills are amazing... All of these can be used. It is regarded as outstanding performance, which can be valued by the emperor and rewarded.

As for individuals, I believe that although the young heroes of various factions are not as powerful as the old ones due to the short training days, and cannot be in the forefront by force, they can still win the emperor's attention by their own performance. After all, the emperor is in his prime. "When Jiang Shijia said this, he looked at the direction where Xue Chang was sitting, obviously looking forward to it.

"Oh, that's how it is!" Everyone nodded after hearing this, their eyes were eager, and they were thinking whether their sect would have a chance to attract the emperor's appreciation, and they immediately put their doubts about the new agreement behind them. Jiang Shijia's intention in saying the two things together.

"Master Jiang, I have a doubt." Mrs. Qiu asked worriedly: "Once this new agreement is implemented, I am afraid that many new sects will be established in the Bashu area in a short period of time. We all know that teaching disciples not only It takes energy, and more importantly, money is consumed, and now that the imperial court no longer gives them salaries and land grants, if they want to get rich quickly, they will probably take risks!"
