Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 58 Zen Position
Zhu Qi and Dao Yan discussed the arrangements for the Jianghu of the Great Song Empire, and Dao Yan disappeared into the palace without a sound.

However, this time Dao Yan did not return to the Ming Empire alone.Zheng He and Yu Huatian also quietly returned to the Ming Empire years ago, showing their faces in the palace.

After not showing up for a year, the memory of Zheng He and Yu Huatian in the palace has faded a lot, and few people have taken the initiative to mention them.

Now, the most beautiful people in the palace are Hai Dafu and Hou Xian.

Perhaps, in a few years, no one in the palace will remember Zheng He and Yu Huatian.

Although Zheng He and Yu Huatian were arranged by Zhu Qi to join the Martial Arts League.However, they don't know much about the Martial Arts League, and they don't even know about Dao Yan's existence.However, they didn't care either, as the purifying palace servants, they were just a knife, a knife held in Zhu Qi's hand.

Hongwu 17 years.

At the beginning of the new year, the entire Ming Empire was busy.

At the Seventh Court Meeting of the first lunar month, Emperor Hongwu issued an imperial decree, holding a Zen ceremony on October 17, [-]th year of Hongwu, and passing the throne to Prince Zhu Biao.

At the grand banquet held by the officials at the end of the 14th year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu wanted to pass on the crown prince and asked the officials for their opinions, but was blocked by the prince and made a three-year agreement.Although the civil and military officials didn't know what the prince meant, they all cleverly pretended to be deaf and dumb!The current Ming Empire is in the hands of their father and son, and no officials can stop them no matter how they want to play.

Emperor Hongwu's decree at this time undoubtedly followed the agreement with the prince.

Although, this time is a few months earlier than agreed, but it doesn't hurt too much!

Of course, the civil and military officials were not surprised by Emperor Hongwu's Zen position.

There are many founding emperors in the history of the Chinese mainland, and Emperor Hongwu is not a maverick.

The mainland of China is the world of martial arts.Every founding monarch who rose from the troubled times and created an empire is a great master of martial arts.Therefore, after the stability of the empire, many founding monarchs gave the throne to the crown prince and abdicated themselves to practice penance and become the heritage of the royal family.

However, like Emperor Hongwu, there is only one founding monarch who abdicated less than 20 years after he ascended the throne!
However, this also shows from the side that Prince Zhu Biao is excellent!

The reason why the founding monarchs in the history of China have been in office for several decades is that the country is just established and the situation is unstable.The second is; the prince couldn't restrain the arrogant soldiers who followed him.Therefore, the prince had to be trained for ten years.

But these problems did not exist in the Ming Empire!
The civil servant group, military general group, and noble group of the Ming Empire are all princelings.

Moreover, Emperor Hongwu seldom showed up in recent years, and the Ming Empire was under the control of the crown prince.The development of the Ming Empire in recent years also shows that the prince Zhu Biao is already a mature king.

Emperor Hongwu reached an agreement with the crown prince and issued the imperial edict, and all civil and military officials began to get busy.

The emperor's seat is not that simple, there are many processes to go.These are the etiquettes inherited from the ancient emperors, and they also indicate that the successor is a legitimate monarch.

Therefore, no one dares to ignore the Zen Ceremony!
First of all, the Ming Empire will make an announcement to the world, send missions to various countries, and invite the royal families of all countries to come to the Ming Empire to observe the ceremony.In addition to the major empires, those powerful forces with a long history will also send people to watch the ceremony!Of course, this is just a diplomatic move.

Within the Ming Empire, the imperial court will also arrange for respected elders from counties and counties to come to the imperial capital to observe the ceremony; the great sects in the rivers and lakes will also be invited;Of course, princes and nobles are indispensable!
With so many people coming to watch the ceremony, the court officials are naturally extremely busy!
In addition, since Emperor Hongwu is in Zen, the palace will naturally be given over to the crown prince!
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has to plan a Taishang Emperor's Palace for Emperor Hongwu, Empress, Concubine and minor princes to live in.

Of course, the Supreme Emperor's Palace was not built from scratch.But even if it is changed from the original palace, the amount of work is not small.

Zhu Qi's uncle, Chen Heng, works in the Ministry of Industry. Since the beginning of the new year, he has been busy without touching the ground.

A few days ago, Zhu Qi sent someone to Chen's mansion to pick up his grandfather and grandmother to live in the palace, and he heard from his grandmother that his uncle hadn't returned to the mansion for half a month!

In fact, not only Chen Heng, but all the officials of the Ministry of Industry are the same, and even the officials of the entire imperial court are similar!
Emperor Hongwu was a ruthless man who couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. Once there was a mistake in the Zen throne ceremony, this man would really dare to kill.

Prince Zhu Biao looks elegant and gentle, but his thunderous methods are not at all inferior to Emperor Hongwu.Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the left back then, was an existence with power over the government and the public, otherwise, he would not have deceived his superiors and concealed it, enriching his own pockets.It was precisely because Hu Weiyong underestimated the prince that he was executed by the prince.Back then, the prince, a ruthless man, took advantage of Hu Weiyong's case to behead tens of thousands of people.

The prince is reasonable, but the prince's knife is also shiny.

It was not just the court that was busy in the Ming Empire, several princes were also busy with their errands.

Only Zhu Qi is still at ease in the palace!

Prince Zhu Biao also approached Zhu Qi and wanted to arrange an errand for him, but Zhu Qi didn't want to show his face, and Zhu Biao didn't force him.

In the 17th year of Hongwu, it has been nearly nine years since Zhu Qi practiced "Tai Chi".However, in Zhu Biao's heart, Zhu Qi's body has not fully recovered, so Zhu Qi is unwilling, and Zhu Biao does not force it.

The internal power of Zhu Qi's practice is extremely pure, if Zhu Qi didn't take the initiative to reveal his cultivation, even Zhu Biao wouldn't notice it at all!Now, only Daoyan, Hai Dafu, Zheng He and Yuhuatian know about Zhu Qi's practice.

However, they didn't know what level Zhu Qi's cultivation had reached.

Zhu Qi's cultivation level is not exposed, so Zhu Biao naturally thinks that Zhu Qi is a young man with no strength to restrain a chicken.

In fact, Zhu Biao's assignment to Zhu Qi was just to let Zhu Qi relax.For so many years, Zhu Qi hardly ever left the palace, Zhu Biao was afraid that Zhu Qi would get sick from boredom!
Although Zhu Qi has not been out of the palace these years, he has made a lot of contributions to the Ming Empire.

Zhu Biao has been in charge of the Ming Empire for the past few years. Although he is extremely busy, Zhu Biao spends half a day every month coming to Zhao Wang's Mansion to communicate with Zhu Qi.Therefore, many of the decrees promulgated by the Ming Empire in recent years have the shadow of Zhu Qi.

For Zhu Biao, Zhu Qi's greatest value is his ability to govern the country!

As for Zhu Qi's martial arts cultivation, in Zhu Biao's opinion, it doesn't matter whether he has it or not.After all, no one would think that a consumptive ghost like Zhu Qi would have any achievements in martial arts.

It is precisely because of Zhu Qi's talent in governing the country that the development of the palace in the past few years has been smooth.Because some things that were not on the table were suppressed by Zhu Biao before Zhu Qi found out.

For example: Zhu Qi's exposition on the imperial examinations made Zhu Biao very impressed.

In order to promote the rule of law, the Ming Empire implemented the same policy of nurturing scholars as the Zhou Empire.

For example: Scholars can be exempted from land tax after passing the examination to raise people, which will lead to a large amount of land being changed to the name of the person, and gradually the person will become a local tycoon.
