The whole family did not expect that Xie Xun was so crazy about martial arts that the emperor did not do anything and only wanted to study martial arts.
Lu Zhixi clapped her hands and said: "Yes, yes. The emperor has nothing to do. He is tired and annoyed, but my brother-in-law is smart. We have collected all the martial arts in the world and we will never be able to learn them all in a lifetime. How can we have time to be the emperor? Let's Xiao Wuji, just go and worry about it.”
Xie Xun smiled and said: "That's exactly what I meant. Martial arts is vast and boundless, and Chinese martial arts is even more extensive and profound. The fun in it cannot be compared to being an emperor. Besides, in today's world, there are many masters, and the royal family is not as powerful as Even with the support of our own force, we will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed.”
Xie Wuji said: "Father, this is to ensure that our Xie family can have long-term peace and stability."
Xie Xun said: "Wuji, you have to remember that force can only be used as a guarantee, not as a means to govern the world. Mencius said: The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least. If you want the world to be peaceful, you have to put the people first. The well-being of the people is the top priority. If you can't benefit the people, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, it will be useless. What's more, I can achieve the martial arts I have today because I have gone through a lot of dangerous training. If I am not careful, I will have no bones left long ago. . How will you have the opportunity to experience so many hardships in the future?"
Xie Wuji asked: "Then why don't we ban martial arts?"
Xie Xun was shocked. He didn't expect Wuji to be able to come up with such a ruthless method at such a young age.
Dai Qisi only listened and did not answer. Whether Xie Xun becomes emperor or not has nothing to do with her. She only has one daughter, Xiao Zhao, and has no chance to compete. Besides, she is very satisfied now.
Isa could only smile in apology. Xie Xun didn't even marry her, and her status was simply incomparable to that of the other three daughters. Xie Xun didn't treat her badly, but she came to marry from the Persian Ming sect, and unlike Dai Qisi, Xie Xun never let her participate in Ming sect affairs.
Xie Xun said: "The world is huge and there are many races, but we and the grassland peoples are not the only ones. If any race is strong, it will inevitably oppress other races. We have lost our martial spirit. Even if it is okay for a while, it will inevitably end up in the end. The fate of being bullied. There was the Song Dynasty, which valued culture over martial arts. The culture was prosperous and rich, but it was still destroyed by barbarian peoples. What I want is to pay equal attention to culture and force. Both culture and force must be maintained against other nations. An overwhelming advantage.”
Xie Xun changed Dadu's name to BJ. Xie Wuji ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in BJ. The country was named "Da Ming", the capital was BJ, and a cabinet was formed. Yang Xiao became the chief assistant of the cabinet, president of the Government Affairs Council, and the head of the hundred officials. Liu Ji and Peng Yingyu entered the cabinet.
Xie Hu was in charge of the Ministry of War and commanded the world's troops.
Fan Yao was appointed to lead the imperial army and guard the capital. But Fan Yao refused. He did not want to be an official and felt that an official career was more dangerous than the world of politics. He was not originally a person who liked to fight for power. Now that the Mingjiao is gone, he doesn't want to be an official.
Xie Wuji named him a "Xiaoyao Hou" and allowed him to be free. If he wanted to enjoy the countryside, he could go sightseeing. If he wanted to focus on practicing martial arts, he could study martial arts with Xie Xun.
In the end, Zhuang Zheng led the imperial army.
Yu Lianzhou was in charge of the Criminal Department and was in charge of criminal law, assisted by Tieguan Taoist Zhang Zhong.
Wei Yixiao was in charge of the spies, Budai monk was in charge of the assistant department, Leng Qian was in charge of the official department, Song Lian was in charge of the rites department, Li Shanchang was in charge of the household department, and Zhang Songxi was in charge of the engineering department.
Yin Tianzheng was in charge of supervision, and Yu Daiyan entered the Ministry of War to assist Xie Hu.
Xie Xun set up a separate Ministry of Commerce and invited Yang Shou to be in charge of commerce for him. He wanted to improve the status of merchants and open up more trade.
There were also many people who joined Xie Xun in various departments, including people from the martial arts world and some recruited literati, which greatly diluted the power of people from the Ming Cult.
Zhou Dian, one of the Wusan people, also did not want to be an official. He knew that he was reckless and short-tongued. He had never been liked by Xie Xun and would have no future as an official, not to mention that he did not know how to be an official. He was made a "Loyal and Yongbo" and could live his life however he wanted.
Xie Xun just wanted to calm down and study martial arts, not to practice in the world, so he did not leave BJ. He still lived in the palace, with his wife and children by his side every day, and his life was full of leisure.
Xie Xun wrote a letter to Zhang Sanfeng and invited him to come to BJ to discuss literature and martial arts with him.
Zhang Sanfeng was shocked when he learned that Xie Xun actually gave up the throne. How many people in the world could resist such a temptation? Even he had no confidence that he could resist.
After receiving Xie Xun's invitation, Zhang Sanfeng went happily. Today, the only person in the world who is qualified to discuss martial arts with him is Xie Xun. Every time I discuss with Xie Xun, I feel that I have benefited a lot.
Coming to BJ and staying in the palace, there was no luxury as I imagined, but instead there was frugality everywhere.
Zhang Sanfeng knew roughly how much Xie Xun was worth, and now that he was wealthy, he didn't expect that he would become even more frugal than before.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said: "Think about it, how come you are getting poorer as you live? Your luxury back then was much greater than it is now."
Xie Xun smiled and said: "Back then, I was the leader of the Ming Cult, so naturally I couldn't lose face. Now, without an official position, I am light and idle, so what kind of pomp and show do I need?"
Zhang Sanfeng said: "I have been to most of them before. Not to mention the palace, even the residences of ordinary ministers are better than yours."
Xie Xun said: "It's okay to be more luxurious. I don't have any prejudice against it. It's just that the war has just ended and everything is waiting for improvement. When we become rich in the future, it will not be too late to be extravagant."
Zhang Sanfeng said: "It's okay if others say so. Is there anyone richer than you in the world?"
Xie Xun cried and said: "It didn't happen before, but there will be more in the future. I am going to die of poverty now, and the south is better. It was only when the north was conquered that we found poverty and poor people's livelihood. I exempted many places from taxes, and all of a sudden It brought me back to my original shape, my money bag is cleaner than my face, I really worked hard for decades, and I was beaten before liberation."
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned for a while. He could not fully understand Xie Xun's words, but he also understood what he meant. He sighed: "Retreating to think about benevolence and righteousness is a blessing for the people."
Xie Xun said: "The real person has won the prize. Now I save when I can. When I have money in the future, I will buy two bowls of soy milk, drink one bowl and pour another bowl."
Zhang Sanfeng laughed loudly.
With the great master Zhang Sanfeng by his side, Xie Xun couldn't miss this opportunity. He put all his martial arts skills to ask Zhang Sanfeng for advice.
Zhang Sanfeng studied heaven and man, and when Xie Xun showed off each martial art, Zhang Sanfeng would come up with unique insights after a little thought.
Of course Zhang Sanfeng disdains secretly learning Xie Xun's martial arts, but seeing that Xie Xun can produce so many martial arts, and many of them are secrets of various sects, such as the Beggar Clan's "Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon", Shaolin's "Prajna Vajra" "Palm", "Powerful Vajra Finger", Kongtong's "Seven Injury Fist", etc., I was also surprised, but given Xie Xun's current status, it was not impossible to understand, so I didn't ask about the origin of these martial arts.
The "Nine Yang Manual" and "Nine Yin Manual" in Xie Xun's hands are both very important. They involve the secrets of Shaolin and Yitian Sword, and of course they cannot be told completely. However, Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts originated from "Nine Yangs", and "Nine Yins" is the culmination of the Wanshou Taoist Canon, so it is of great value to seek advice from Zhang Sanfeng. Xie Xun just took out some of his questions and asked Zhang Sanfeng for advice. As for the other fist and kick skills, Xie Xun only mentioned them casually, and Zhang Sanfeng answered them casually. Xie Xun seeks Tao, not technique.
Xie Xun gave up the throne and concentrated on martial arts, which had a huge impact on people, especially since he also invited Zhang Sanfeng to BJ.
Many officials in the imperial court came from martial arts backgrounds, and there was no one who was not good at martial arts. Some people who are relatively close to Xie Xun, such as Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Yin Tianzheng and others, also come here to hang out when they have nothing to do, not to mention Zhang Sanfeng's direct disciples Yu Lianzhou, Yu Daiyan and Zhang Songxi. Whenever they have time, they come to greet Zhang Sanfeng.
Xie Xun does not have the throne and is no longer the leader of the church. He is also easy-going. Without the relationship between superior and subordinate, he gets along more harmoniously.
Xie Xun turned the tea party with Zhang Sanfeng into a martial arts salon.
Zhang Sanfeng also lingered over Xie Xun's place, completely letting go of Wudang matters and leaving them all to Song Yuanqiao.
Song Yuanqiao wanted to pay his respects to Zhang Sanfeng, so he had to go to BJ.
Song Yuanqiao greeted his master with a wry smile and said, "Master, it's been more than a year since you left Wudang. Your sixth and seventh brothers are both great knights now, so you don't want to go back and have a look?"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said: "Originally, they were all taught by you on my behalf. They have achieved great results because of your good teaching. Wudang is in your hands, and I feel relieved. Comparing with Tuisi here is far better than myself in Wudang." The mountain is built behind closed doors. When I have gained something here as a teacher, I will teach it to you when I get back, so you won’t think that the master is lazy and you will feel that you have suffered a loss."
Song Yuanqiao listened to his master's humorous words and could see that he was indeed in a good mood here, so he no longer thought about his master's return to Wudang Mountain.
Xie Xun asked: "Yuanqiao, do you have anything else to do here this time?"
Song Yuanqiao replied: "Brother, something really happened this time."
Xie Xun asked: "What's the matter?"
Song Yuanqiao replied: "I am bringing people here to seek medical treatment this time."
Zhang Sanfeng also asked: "What's going on?"
Song Yuanqiao said: "I have been friends with Yeluyuan, the former leader of the Beggar Clan. When he was critically ill, he passed the position of leader to Shi Huolong and asked me to take good care of the Beggar Clan. Shi Huolong became obsessed with martial arts. The whole body is paralyzed. I want to ask Hu Qingniu, the medical expert of Die Valley, to see if he can be cured."
Hu Qingniu is in charge of Tai Hospital and teaches many disciples. He is a top medical expert. He had a close relationship with Xie Xun, and he often came over to discuss the treatment of various internal and external injuries with Xie Xun and Zhang Sanfeng. Xie Xun also imparted the "Healing Chapter" of the "Nine Yin Manual" to Hu Qingniu without hesitation.
Song Yuanqiao wanted to invite Hu Qingniu, so coming to Xie Xun's "back door" was undoubtedly a shortcut.
Although Xie Xun was not a fan of the Beggar Clan, he would not embarrass him over such a trivial matter. He said, "Okay, then just bring him here."
Zhang Sanfeng lamented: "The Beggar Clan is really worse than the previous generation."
Xie Xun said: "It's normal. Even Shaolin has its ups and downs. There is no sect that is always prosperous, and there is no dynasty that never declines."
Zhang Sanfeng said dumbly: "Is Tuisi so open-minded?"
Xie Xundao: "Throughout history, the same thing happens over and over again, and the same tragedy keeps happening. I am just lucky, but I am not special."
Zhang Sanfeng pondered.
Song Yuanqiao also fell into thinking, and admired Xie Xun even more in his heart.
