Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 17 The Imperial City
The existence of the Acropolis is a city specially built for the descendants of the royal family in the imperial capital or around the accompanying capital because there are too many royal descendants in the empire.Of course, the main function of the Acropolis is also to defend the imperial capital.

The existence of the imperial city is similar to that of a certain dynasty in Zhu Qi's previous life.However, the rules in it are quite different. No matter which empire on the mainland of China has extremely strict control over the imperial city.

First of all, as soon as the descendants of the royal family are born, they will receive the education arranged by the royal family, and the royal family will also give assessments in stages.

For example, if a royal family in the body-refining realm has not even been born with internal strength, if they can't even study, they can only accept the arrangement of the royal family to contribute to the royal family, such as farming, joining the army, or doing business, etc.Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, there are no privileges at all, and it is not considered rich.

Of course, if a descendant of the royal family has extraordinary talent, the higher his cultivation level, the more status and resources he will have.

Even the title of king has a chance.

The royal family and nobles on the mainland of China are rarely passed down from generation to generation, and basically every generation has to be downgraded.However, military merits can also be exchanged for future generations not to be degraded.For example, Wei Guogong Xu Da, his military achievements have been accumulated to the fourth generation, that is to say, the fourth generation of Xu Da's descendants Xijue is still Wei Guogong, but in the fifth generation, he will be expelled from the country, Weihou!
The same is true for Zhu Qi, although he belongs to the royal family, but if there is no credit, his son will be Zhao Guogong.

The existence of the imperial city and the royal family can be said to have greatly consolidated the imperial power. Zhu Qi even read from ancient books that there were three imperial officials in the empire thousands of years ago, all of whom were from the royal family.In short, the existence of the royal family is to shield the empire, not to be blood-sucking insects.

Because there were few Zhu family members in the Ming Empire, the imperial city was very quiet, and this place perfectly met Zhu Qi's expectations.Now Zhu Qi's main focus is the word "gou".Zhu Qi has made up his mind that he will never leave the imperial city without the power to protect himself.

Zhu Biao talked with Zhu Qi again, and then left.

With the army going out, there are so many things going on, Zhu Biao can't be idle.Of course, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, as deputy commanders, are both handsome talents comparable to Xu Da, and they have already done most of the work for Zhu Biao.However, even so, Zhu Biao will be very busy next time.

In the days that followed, Zhu Qi's side became more and more quiet, and the princes were summoned to the East Palace by the prince, where they studied and helped with affairs.Of course, the sixth prince and the seventh prince entered the East Palace as they wished after pleading with everyone.

Zhu Qi was originally a quiet person, and he enjoyed himself more when no one disturbed him.

Take medicine every day, practice boxing, and read books.

Before he knew it, as the fireworks rose all over the sky, Zhu Qi suddenly realized that the New Year was coming.

The Spring Festival is the most important day in mainland China. The emperor will hold a banquet for all officials to thank them for their hard work for a year.The royal family should also have fun with the people and show their love for the people.Of course, the court and the palace were also full of joy, and the activities were held one after another.

As a prince, Zhu Qi naturally received a lot of activity arrangements, but Zhu Qi shirked them all because of physical discomfort.Simply put, Zhu Qi's body was known to all civil and military courts, and he did not attend any activities in previous years.No one cares about the rejection this year.

After the Spring Festival, it is the Shangyuan Festival.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, news came from the southern front that when the crown prince was condolences to the frontier army, the barbarians harassed the border and robbed the people of Ming Dynasty.When the prince heard the news, he was furious and raised his troops. He sent two armies to conquer, and now he has penetrated into the [-] mountains for three hundred miles.

When the news came, the imperial capital was boiling.

Looking at the battle report, Zhu Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion!The elder brother of the prince is indeed kind and extraordinary.Zhu Biao really didn't kill the one who shouldn't be killed, and he was relentless when it should be done.

The two forces went to war with the excuse of robbing property. Although the excuse was perfunctory, the prince really loved the people and did not want the people to be harmed.Zhu Qi knew that some forces would massacre people in order to start a war.

At the beginning of the war, the prince withdrew his benevolence and treated himself and the enemy as a soldier. The two armies rushed forward, killing decisively without mercy.He is indeed the first prince of the ages!
Zhu Qi actually didn't know the court's plan.

The court's plan is not that simple.The imperial court is planning to push the existing battle line southward by [-] miles in Shiwan Dashan, and then build two new lines of defense to form an overall defense system with the current line of defense.If the three lines of defense were built well, it would be enough to prevent most of the barbarians from being harassed.Once the three lines of defense are perfected, the barbarians will not pose much threat to the Ming Empire in the future.In this way, the Ming Empire can also free up its hands to concentrate on dealing with the grassland.

However, it is not easy to perfect the defense system of these three lines of defense, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources.You must know that the current southern defense line of the Ming Empire is still left by the Great Zhou Empire.

Moreover, Daming established a defensive line on Shiwan Dashan to isolate the barbarians from going north, and the barbarians would naturally not agree.It is obvious that for some time to come, battles in the Hundred Thousand Mountains will probably be more frequent than those in the grasslands.This is also an opportunity for Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong.Emperor Hongwu was going to use Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong to subdue the barbarians in the south, so as to completely solve the problem in the south of the Ming Empire.

In fact, although Zhu Biao is named as the coach this time, he is actually in charge of logistics. Zhu Biao himself did not even enter the [-] mountains.The real commander-in-chief of the army is still Wei Guogong Deng Yu, and the vanguards are Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong.Moreover, as the prince, Zhu Biao cannot stay in the south all the time.Zhu Biao's stage is the entire empire.

Once the war in the south slows down, Zhu Biao will return to the imperial capital to sit in charge.The manpower and material resources required for the newly established two lines of defense in the south require Zhu Biao to sit in the central command, allocate personnel, money and food.

All the turmoil in the outside world has nothing to do with Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi is now concentrating on recovering his body, and then branding the martial arts skills in "Martial Arts Record" to deduce the skills.

Time passed day by day, and before you knew it, the spring thunder sounded, and the snow melted and the ice disappeared.

spring is coming!

Zhu Qi basically stayed in the courtyard throughout the winter. Through Zhu Qi's efforts, thousands of exercises were imprinted in "Budaolu". Of course, it is impossible to complete such a terrifying amount with Zhu Qi's spiritual power. The fundamental reason for the branding of this body-refinement realm exercise is that the content of the body-refinement realm exercise has an extremely high repetition rate, and the foundations of most of the body-refinement realm exercises are exactly the same. The merits of it are only a paragraph, a sentence, or an idea.

Busy up to now, the deduction of the martial arts in "Bu Dao Lu" about the body-refining realm has preliminarily come to an end.Zhu Qi also named the body-refining realm exercise deduced in "Wu Dao Lu" "Five Elements Body-Refining Method".

Zhu Qi can also start practicing the "Five Elements Body Refining Method".
