Wang Zongyue is the ancestor of the Northern School of Taijiquan, the source of Chen's Taijiquan and Yang's Taijiquan in later generations, there are three theories about which era Wang Zongyue is, one is that Wang Zongyue is a disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, that is, the people of the late Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and the other theory that Wang Zongyue is a person during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, not many years earlier than Chen Changxing and Yang Luchan, and the two dynasties are more than 400 years apart, and the span is too big!

The third way of saying that Wang Zongyue is a native of Taigu County, Shanxi Province during the Wanli period, ranked second in the family, known as the iron arm Wang Er, now, this is nearly fifty years old, his appearance is not good, and the expression is bleak Wang Zongyue is standing in front of Zhang Yuan, the first two rumors of course disappeared, how much archaeology, verification, painstaking efforts, how to go through a look with your own eyes, just like later historians think that the identity of the guest Yinyue is mysterious, but what kind of mysterious law is unknown, who would have thought that the Holy Lady Keshi was from the Jurchen Yehe Department?

Zhang Yuan was very polite to Wang Zongyue, saying "I have admired him for a long time", and he really admired him for a long time.

Yan Suiwei Baihu Du Qinggang is Juniper's family Ding cronies, said: "General Du learned that Master Zhang was going to envoy to North Korea, and there was a lack of guards around him, so he specially ordered Mu Baihu and Hong Ji and Hong Xin to come to the two general banners, as well as this Master Wang to come for Lord Zhang to send, this Master Wang is not only strong in martial arts, but has always been the escort of Taigu giant merchants to and from Liaodong to do business, so he is proficient in Jurchen and Korean, General Du felt that Master Wang might be helpful to Master Zhang, and specially asked the humble post to detour to Taigu County to invite Master Wang to introduce Master Zhang when he came to Beijing. "Let's present Juniper's handwritten letter.

Zhang Yuan was even more overjoyed when he heard that Wang Zongyue was originally a bodyguard for Jin merchants to do business with the Jurchens and Koreans, and he was familiar with side affairs, Juniper really helped him a lot this time, Wang Zongyue was too useful, as for Wang Zongyue and Jin merchants had a close relationship, there was nothing to worry about, although he helped Jinyiwei arrest Zhai Dongsheng, a Shanxi businessman who was a spy for the Jurchens, Zhai Dongsheng was a native of Puzhou. Wang Zongyue is a native of Taigu County, there are indeed many businessmen in Taigu County who do business with the Jurchens, but they are not necessarily spies, businessmen just seek wealth, only after the battle of Salhu, the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade trade with Jianzhou, and the spies among the Jin merchants gradually increased-

Zhang Yuan read Juniper's letter and knew that Mu Jingyan had been promoted from the general banner to the test hundred households. The so-called trial 100 households, in fact, is not the official military position of the Ming Dynasty, higher than the general flag and lower than the official 100 households, which is equivalent to a candidate, once the position of 100 households is vacant, the trial 100 households can be promoted to the official 100 households. But the military salary treatment of the trial hundred households is the same as that of the hundred households, Mu Jingyan has been in the army for three years, and he can be promoted from a small soldier all the way to the trial hundred households, of course, he has his own martial arts and has made military achievements, and the key to promotion lies in the promotion of Juniper, and Juniper's promotion of Mu Jingyan is naturally out of consideration for befriending Zhang Yuan-

Zhang Yuan immediately ordered a wine and a banquet for Du Qinggang and his party, and the two native soldiers left by Qin Liangyu, Ma Kuoqi and Sheba, attended together, and Ma Kuoqi and Mu Jingyan were old acquaintances. The two had fought side by side at the Hangzhou Canal Wharf, and they were very happy to see each other in the capital four years later.

Du Qinggang, Wang Zongyue and Hong Ji and Hong Xin condescended to sit with them and toast to them, all of which were extremely honored, the status of the military generals in the Ming Dynasty was low, and the people who practiced martial arts were also difficult to be respected. How easy it is for a person of high status to gain the favor of others.

Three rounds of drinking. The curfew drum sounded in the distance, and Du Qinggang and the others were about to leave and return to the hall. Zhang Yuan said: "Today's drinking is not enjoyable, tomorrow is the day of rest, a few Du Baihu came to my side for lunch, I want to ask a few more about the border guards - Uncle Mu and Master Wang live here, there is no need to go back to the hall." ”

Du Qinggang didn't even dare to say it, Zhang Yuan said: "Then I'll let Uncle Mu come and invite the three of you at the end of tomorrow——"

Du Qinggang saw Zhang Yuan's sincerity, and said busily: "No, no, I will come by myself." "Resign respectfully with Hong Ji and Hong Xin.

Zhang Yuan was very relieved, there were Mu Jingyan, Wang Zongyue, two Shaolin monks and Ma Kuoqi, Sheba two native soldiers, his envoy to North Korea to protect his cronies, the current situation in Liaodong is treacherous, the battle for the throne of North Korea has not subsided, his trip to North Korea will never be calm, and there are no effective people around him, he is only afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch-

Mu Zhenzhen came out of the door of the pendulum instrument with a lantern, and talked with his father Mu Jingyan on the porch, the father and daughter hadn't seen each other for almost a year, Mu Zhenzhen held his stomach from time to time when he spoke, as if he was afraid of falling down, Mu Jingyan asked: "How many months have you been really?" ”

Mu Zhenzhen glanced at Zhang Yuan, who was talking to Wang Zongyue in the hall, she was both shy and happy in front of her father, and responded: "It's been nine months." ”

Mu Jingyan finally got used to it, and said happily: "Then I will give birth next month, and my father can see the real child, and he is really happy." ”

Mu Zhenzhen asked: "Daddy, did General Du send you to Beijing early to prepare for you to follow the young master to North Korea?" ”

Mu Jingyan said: "Yes, when will Young Master Jie Zi leave?" ”

Mu Zhenzhen said: "The young master said that the song has not been approved yet, it is not certain whether it will be successful or not, it is good that the father is here, I am worried that the young master will not have a competent guard when he is really going to travel far away." "In the past, Mu Zhenzhen was Zhang Yuan's personal guard, but now she is pregnant and giving birth soon, and she can't accompany her, so she is very worried, and now her father Mu Jingyan has arrived, her father is strong in martial arts, and he accompanied Zhang Yuan, Mu Zhenzhen was relieved.

But I heard Mu Jingyan say: "That Master Wang's martial arts are far above your father, there are really people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains." ”

Mu Zhenzhen looked at the half-old man who was talking to the young master, and asked softly, "Daddy has fought against him?" ”

Mu Jingyan was ashamed and said: "It's not an opponent at all, in front of Master Wang, I have nowhere to go, if you talk about foot combat, I'm afraid no one can beat him." ”

Mu Jingyan admired Wang Zongyue very much, but Zhang Yuan in the hall had already asked for advice in person, Guan Wang Ye played a big knife in front of him, Zhang Yuan practiced simple Tai Chi boxing in front of Tai Chi master Wang Zongyue, Wang Zongyue asked Zhang Yuan a few words of breathing and breathing problems, and learned that Zhang Yuan did not pay attention to breathing at all, Wang Zongyue couldn't help but smile, and said: "Zhuangyuan Gong has time to study, it is good to stretch his muscles and bones." ”

Wang Zongyue didn't ask Zhang Yuan where he learned this, Wang Zongyue didn't think that Zhang Yuan practiced Taijiquan at all, Wang Zongyue's Taijiquan was able to defend himself and beat people, and Zhang Yuan's obviously couldn't, for Zhang Yuan proposed to learn Taijiquan from him, Wang Zongyue was very surprised, Zhang Zhuangyuan, who was famous all over the world, wanted to practice martial arts, which was really shocking.

Zhang Yuan said: "I have to practice boxing several times every morning, in order to strengthen the body, the sages Wang Yangming, Tang Jingchuan both civil and military, let me admire, today I am fortunate to meet Master Wang, without asking for advice is equivalent to entering Baoshan and empty-handed back." ”

Zhang Yuan practiced martial arts, not that he wanted to become a big master, because it was impossible, physique and age were placed here, after all, this was not Jin Yong's martial arts world and could also be easily cleaned and enlightened, not to mention that he didn't have the energy to boil his body all day long, no matter how high his personal martial arts were, it would not be of great benefit to the country, but it was a pity that he didn't learn one when he met a Tai Chi master, and he learned three moves and two styles so that he would not be defenseless when he was attacked, and he couldn't rely on others to protect him, and he didn't weigh on his body-

Wang Zongyue was overjoyed when he saw that Zhang Yuan valued him, and said: "Lord Zhang is willing to learn this rough little skill, how dare he hide his secrets." "I also knew in my heart that Zhang Yuan was out of curiosity, where could this kind of young minister eat the hard work of practicing martial arts-

Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan went to the guest room of the outer courtyard to learn Taijiquan from Wang Zongyue, and Wang Zongyue first explained his Taijiquan theory to Zhang Yuan: "Taiji, born without Ji. The opportunity of movement and stillness, the mother of yin and yang. If it moves, it is divided, and if it is still, it is combined. If you don't do it, you can stretch it out with the song. People just I say softly to go, I follow the back of people to say sticky. If you are in a hurry, you should respond urgently, and if you move slowly, you will follow slowly. Although there are many changes, the reason is consistent......"

Strong memory is Zhang Yuan's advantage, Wang Zongyue only said it once, Zhang Yuan remembered it all, and Wang Zongyue couldn't help but sigh that the intelligence of the champion was very human.

Before noon, Du Qinggang, Hong Ji, Hong Xin arrived as promised, Zhang Dai also came over this day, Su Zhi gave birth to a son for Zhang Dai at the end of last month, tomorrow will be the full moon, Zhang Dai is here to invite Zhang Yuan and his wife to drink his son's full moon wine tomorrow on the bank of the Baozi River, Zhang Dai is hospitable, married to the three religions and nine streams, and Du Qinggang, Wang Zongyue on the same table to drink and talk, Zhang Dai knew that Zhang Yuan Shangshu asked to send an envoy to North Korea, originally wanted to let Nengzhu, Feng Hu go with Zhang Yuan, now see Zhang Yuan Juniper recommended martial arts masters to help, I am at ease.

At the beginning of the day, before the banquet was dispersed, Bai Ma came to report to the Korean envoy Liu Dongming asking to see him.

It was already the end of February, and the Ming Emperor's will to canonize the prince of Joseon had not yet been issued, which made Liu Dongming anxious, so he came to visit Zhang Yuan to ask for countermeasures, Zhang Yuan suggested that Liu Dongming ask the emperor to canonize again, there was no other way, Liu Dongming had no choice but to earnestly ask Emperor Wanli again to be canonized-

……

Just when Zhang Yuan and Du Qinggang, Wang Zongyue and others were having a banquet, the leaders of Zhejiang, Chu and Qi also gathered in Dashi Yongfang Fang Congzhefu to discuss the matter of Jingcha, Zheng Jizhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department and the secretary of the Imperial Court, decided to leave the Wanli Emperor to hold the Jingcha on his own after discussing with Fang Congzhe, the officials of the late Ming Dynasty were so bold, they had ancestral systems and conventions to follow, and the Wanli Emperor did not approve the period of Jingcha to neglect the government, and they had to fight-

On the second day of the first month of March, Ding Sijingcha was not approved by Wanli, and was held by Zheng Jizhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Li Wei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wang Dazhi, the secretary of the Wenxuan Shilang, Zhao Shimo, Xu Shaoji, and Han Jun, the assistant director of the Imperial History of Henan Province. These people will be removed from their posts -

The political situation in the late Ming Dynasty is really a mess, let's leave the capital in the next chapter.
