In order to help Cao Wei return to Beijing, Li Zhang got out all the martial arts, thinking that he would not be noticed, but he didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, Liu E looked at him meaningfully, and after a while, he said: "Martial arts should be led by a veteran who has lived in the army for a long time and has made great achievements, you don't want to recommend Cao Wei, right?" ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the eldest lady, in the whole army, only General Cao is suitable for martial arts, and he has been fighting abroad for many years, and his body has long been tormented by injuries and illnesses, and he can just go back to Beijing to recuperate, so it can also show the kindness of the eldest lady!" Li Zhang saw that he couldn't hide it from Liu E, so he simply confessed directly.

"I know that you can't afford to be early, it turns out that you want to use this method to pave the way for Cao Wei!" Liu E glared at Li Zhang at the moment and said, she was angry that Li Zhang was making a heart for herself, after all, she was tired enough to intrigue with those ministers, but she didn't expect Li Zhang to come to this set.

"Big lady forgive your sins, I ...... I'm mainly trying to solve the shortcomings in the army, and General Cao is just helping out. Li Zhang said that in the end, he also smiled cheekily, with his understanding of Liu E, he also saw that the other party was not really angry, so he was not nervous.

Liu E is indeed not angry, in fact, her mind is now thinking about the pros and cons of the establishment of martial arts, the benefits of martial arts have just been said by Li Zhang, of course, it is not entirely a good thing, for example, the establishment of martial arts will definitely touch the interests of some people, which is also what Liu E needs to consider, but in general, the prospects of martial arts are still very attractive, especially to strengthen her control over the army, which makes Liu E also very tempted.

"Although Cao Wei is suitable, the northwest also needs him to be in charge, if he is transferred back, what if the northwest is in trouble?" Liu E was still a little worried in the end, the reason why the imperial court was reluctant to let Cao Wei come back was because the northwest needed him to sit there, after all, the northwest has not been peaceful, and even more worried about the imperial court than Hebei, and only a famous general like Cao Wei can live there.

"The party has been disabled, and it will not be able to recover for at least ten years, and through the last party war, the ethnic groups in the northwest have also been frightened, plus the musket army is in the northwest, so the eldest lady does not have to worry about chaos in the northwest at all, and General Cao is old, plus there are many injuries, if he has been allowed to stay in the bitter cold place in the northwest, in case he has any accident, it will not only make the soldiers in the army cold, but also make some tribes in the northwest who have bad intentions applaud." Li Zhang spoke again at the moment and persuaded again.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Liu E also showed a contemplative look again, the Great Song Dynasty generals are now facing the situation of withering talents, and only Cao Wei can still hold the façade in the generals, and there are no outstanding generals in the army, so she is worried that if Cao Wei is transferred back, the northwest will face a situation where no one is in charge, but martial arts can solve this problem, although it takes a little longer, but it is better than now.

"Okay, since you have spoken, then let Cao Wei go back to Beijing to recuperate, and by the way, he can also sit in the martial arts, but he is old and sick, and I am afraid that he still needs a capable assistant to help him build up the martial arts." Liu E finally nodded, but when she said the end, her eyes also looked at Li Zhang.

Li Zhang didn't expect Liu E to burn the fire on him in the end, which made him also startled, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing the threat in Liu E's eyes, this made him immediately soften, and immediately took the initiative to stand up and express his willingness to be Cao Wei's assistant and help him establish martial arts, after all, this suggestion was put forward by him, if he refused, maybe Liu E would overturn his previous idea and veto martial arts, and then Cao Wei would not want to come back.

"Yes, yes, young people have to do more things, mourning the old family, and you young people will have to rely on you young people to support the façade in the future!" Seeing that Li Zhang took the initiative to respond to this matter, Liu E showed a satisfied smile and said.

The next day at the court meeting, Liu E announced the decision to set up martial arts, although there were many people who opposed it, but there were also many people who supported it, especially as the prime minister Lu Yijian also expressed his support, so the establishment of martial arts was very smooth to pass, and after the court meeting, Liu E immediately issued an order to transfer Cao Wei back to the capital from the northwest.

Li Zhang's goal was achieved, but he also trapped himself in, he originally got out of the firearms prison, put all his energy on the money bank, but now the money store is developing rapidly, and several big cities around it have also opened branches, plus Huozi and Ugly Niang, Douzi The three of them have also slowly grown up and shared most of his affairs, which makes him finally have a little free time, but now he has to devote himself to the preparation of martial arts.

The location of Wuxue is in the Wucheng Temple, the so-called Wucheng Wang, is not the Wucheng King Huang Feihu in the "Romance of the Gods", but refers to Jiang Ziya, this title is the first Tang Suzong to give Jiang Ziya, and it is from then on that Jiang Ziya was respected as a "martial saint" by the emperors of all dynasties, and the Wucheng Wang Temple was set up to worship, which is the same as the status of the Wenxuan Wang Temple of Confucius.

There is not only Jiang Ziya in the temple of King Wucheng, Jiang Ziya is only the main god in the temple, and the famous generals of the past dynasties are also included in the temple of King Wucheng to worship together, such as Zhang Liang, Guan Zhong, Le Yi, Sun Wu, etc., there is a Wu Qi Temple on Wuqi Street where Li Zhang once lived, and Wu Qi is also one of the first famous generals to be included in the Temple of King Wucheng.

At the beginning, in addition to Jiang Ziya, the righteous god, there were only ten people in the temple, including Zhang Liang, Guan Zhong, and Wu Qi, which later increased to sixty-four, and by the time of the Song Dynasty, it had increased to seventy-two famous generals.

The west is the main killing, so the Wucheng Wang Temple was also built in the west of the city, and it is in the right box, that is, the area where Li Zhang and they exterminated the ghost beggars, this is also the settlement of the Jiangmen nobles, the famous Yang family Tianbo Mansion is also here, and even Li Zhang's home is also within the range of the right box, but his house and Tianbo Mansion are in the southeast corner, and the other is in the northeast corner, which is very far away.

Wucheng Wang Temple is located in the southwest corner of the right box, not close to Li Zhang's house, relatively close to the Liang Gate, covers a large area, after all, there are seventy-two statues of gods enshrined here, and the main hall can almost be compared with the vertical arch hall of the imperial city.

Li Zhang has been in and out of Liangmen many times, but it is the first time to come to Wucheng Wang Temple, but when he came here, he was surprised, not shocked by the grandeur of Wucheng Wang Temple, but shocked that only part of the completion of this place, the front looks very grand, but it is also very dilapidated, a piece is neglected, and many areas behind it are a construction site, some temples are only half built, and there are no craftsmen for a long time, only a barren construction site overgrown with weeds.

"What's going on here?" Li Zhang looked at the barren construction site behind him, and couldn't help frowning and asked the officials accompanying him, although this is a temple, it is in charge of the Guozijian, and the Taizhu and Fengli in the temple are also filled by the supervisors of the Guozijian, such as the assistant teacher Ruan next to him, he is the person in charge of this Wucheng Wang Temple.

Assistant Teacher Ruan is very young, he is a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng, named Ruan Yi, and Bao Zheng and Han Qi are in the same department, but the ranking is not very good, and he was assigned to Guozijian as an assistant teacher, but he usually does not give lectures, but is responsible for some sundries in the prison, such as this almost Wucheng Wang Temple.

"Li Duwei didn't know, the Wucheng Wang Temple was not very big, only the front part, and then the first emperor built the temple, so he let people expand the Wucheng Wang Temple, but later because the supply of materials was not available, the craftsman was also transferred to build the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, so the expansion was not completed, and the result became what it is now." I saw that Assistant Teacher Ruan immediately replied that his status in the Guozi Prison was not high, otherwise he would not only be in charge of chores.

Li Zhang only understood when he heard this, it turned out that it was Zhao Heng's sin, he was engaged in the Tianshu Movement and built a lot of temples, it is estimated that Wucheng Wang Temple is also one of them, but these temples cost a lot of money, and many of them have not been completed, especially the construction of Yuqing Zhaoying Palace alone cost two years of taxes in the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally there is no money to repair other palaces and temples.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang couldn't help sighing, and then took a few turns around this barren construction site, and found that although it was not completed, it left a lot of earth, stone and wood, and it could be cleaned up to build a small school field, which could be used as a martial arts student to practice martial arts, and although the house in front was dilapidated, it was completely possible to build martial arts with these earth, stone and wood materials.

"Captain Li, the prison has sent someone to assist you in building a martial arts, if there is anything you are told, please speak!" At this moment, he only heard Assistant Teacher Ruan next to him say again, he also knew that Li Zhang was not easy to mess with, so he was also very concerned about assisting Li Zhang.

"In that case, then I'm not welcome, there will be craftsmen transferred in two days, and then you will dismantle the back construction site and clean it up for the school field, and there will be a ...... in front."

Li Zhang also knew that Assistant Teacher Ruan was assigned to assist him, so he was not polite, and he also talked about his plan for martial arts at the moment, but there were some places where he still left room for modification, after all, Cao Wei had not come back yet, and he would definitely need to ask his opinion at that time.

For Li Zhang's words, Assistant Teacher Ruan also wrote them down one by one, Li Zhang will definitely not do all these things himself, and they will need to be handled by these subordinates at that time.

In fact, what Li Zhang didn't know was that in the original history, martial arts was in charge of Ruan Yiruan's assistant teacher next to him, but Ruan Yi didn't know the art of war, he was most famous for being proficient in scriptures and music, that is, a musician.

But now it is different, martial arts is controlled by Cao Wei, a famous general, and it is also independent of various yamen, plus Li Zhang's assistance, it will definitely burst out with a different brilliance.
