As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

There are also people in the court, so is the court a river and lake?

The imperial court is a river and lake.

It's just that the rivers and lakes of the imperial court have more clear rules and regulations, and it seems that the surface is always gentle, less reckless, and more calculating.

I have to say that it is reasonable to distinguish between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes.

However, the history of the change of surnames of the Zhongzhou Dynasty for more than 1,000 years all confirms that this view is just people's wishful thinking.

The imperial court easily does not use soldiers, and every move is to raid the house and destroy the family and even slaughter the family, the means are ruthless, and the execution is resolute, no less than any Jianghu forces.

In a narrow sense, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes are inseparable, and they have always been balanced and coexisted in a delicate form in the process of eliminating each other's strengths.

Most of the time, the court's wrists are tougher than those of the rivers and lakes.

In such a situation, what martial arts alliance leader dispute, what righteous and demonic factions fight, for the imperial court is just a small fight.

If the court doesn't care about you, it doesn't care about you, it has to take care of ...... You can do anything.

When the imperial court does not like to take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, there is an accident - the rivers and lakes will slowly develop and grow secretly.

If the imperial court can detect and suppress it in time, then the surname of that dynasty can continue to continue.

If neglect makes it impossible to restrain the growth of the power of the rivers and lakes, the dynastic rule may one day be overthrown.

Therefore, in the change of dynasties and generations, there is always a shadow of rivers and lakes.

Fifty years ago, in the long years, Zhongzhou continued to expand its territory and expand the state, but the war was extremely consuming of national strength after all.

No matter what the surname of the person on the dragon chair is, they will enter such a period of relatively peaceful recovery of national strength.

The so-called situation creates people, when the Zhongzhou court fell into the commission, the Zhongzhou rivers and lakes quietly rose, and in those twenty or thirty years, the court unconsciously developed to the point of contention with hundreds of gangs.

At that time, the power of the rivers and lakes far exceeded that of the imperial court, and it was a crisis for the imperial court.

The imperial court did not dare to tear its face with the rivers and lakes on the surface, and secretly acted to some extent, intending to gradually weaken the power of the rivers and lakes.

At the right time, Dongying and Wara, who coveted the vast land and resources of Zhongzhou, watched the chaos between the Zhongzhou court and the rivers and lakes, and did not want to miss the God-given opportunity, so they united and instigated other neighboring countries in Zhongzhou to attack in groups.

In the end, Waiyi failed to succeed, whether it was the rivers and lakes, or the imperial court, in the end, they were single-minded to the outside world.

It's just that the war has been around Zhongzhou for three years, and I don't know how many ills have been left in the current situation.

During the three-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhongzhou was greatly damaged from the imperial court to the rivers and lakes, but it is undeniable that the rivers and lakes of Dasheng were even more damaged.

In the next nearly 20 years, the imperial court was obscure, and the rivers and lakes were metabolized.

Such as Wudang, Shaolin, Kunlun and other famous families with a long history of decency retreated to a corner and faded out of the rivers and lakes.

And the Kyushu Alliance, the Four Seas Alliance, the Moral League and other decent big gang alliances, together with the Red Cloth Sect, the Twelve Gates of Heaven and other evil sects and demon sects, completely took over the banner of the rivers and lakes and became the protagonists on the stage.

The bigger the rivers and lakes, the more people there are, and the pursuit of their respective interests is very different.

Because of this, the fishermen of the imperial court profited, not only to survive in the cracks, but also to hide behind the scenes and instigate various forces to fight.

After a series of major events in the rivers and lakes, such as the fall of Shifu, the overthrow of the Demon Palace, the heavenly burial of Xunfeng Valley, and the bloody night of the Hundred Flowers Conference, the Zhongzhou Imperial Court, which had been restless for nearly fifty years, finally regained its dominance and had the opportunity to declare who was the real ruler of Zhongzhou.

The bloody night of the Hundred Flowers Conference is the night when the Zhongzhou court raised its eyebrows and exclaimed for nearly half a hundred years, which was a justification of the Zhongzhou court in front of the rivers and lakes, and it was also a warning to the rivers and lakes.

However, this is not enough, if the imperial court wants to really control the overall situation and consolidate its rule, it has to remove more blades from the hands of the Jianghu people, but this step cannot be taken too quickly, and can only be slowly figured out.

The promulgation of the "Martial Arts Restriction Order" was the first step taken by the Zhongzhou Imperial Court.

The "Martial Arts Restriction Order" is the "four prohibitions" in the rivers and lakes.

One: The total number of gangs in any one Jianghu gang shall not exceed 1,000, and they shall not form an alliance in any form or name to help each other.

Second: No more than five people are allowed to participate in the fight outside the mountain gate of any gang.

Rule 3: There shall be no fight of more than 20 people.

Violating any of these rules can be regarded as disturbing civil stability or suspected of rebellion, and the imperial court is not afraid to use military force to suppress it forcefully!

After thousands of years, Zhongzhou has countless ancestors who have poured out a set of mature legislation that condenses the wisdom of dozens of generations with bloody examples of how to stabilize the country.

It's just that no matter how perfect the legislation is, it will eventually need to be implemented by fists, and the fists of the imperial court were soft in the past, lacking the means and strength to enforce them, but now, the fists of the imperial court are hard again, and any force that wants to treat the law as if it were nothing and wantonly provoke the majesty of the imperial court as before, must weigh their own pounds.

Of course, the imperial court, which is well versed in boiling frogs in warm water, is not blindly strangling the ability of the gangs to move.

In the final analysis, this "Restriction of Force" is to limit the scale of development of gangs in the rivers and lakes and avoid uncontrollable chaos.

However, the rules are too simplistic, so there is a lot of room for maneuvering.

For example, although the first rule is to extinguish the possibility of the resurgence of the Kyushu Four Seas Alliance, it does not prevent the gangs from establishing personal relations between them, and as long as there is no fighting, there is no matter whether the gangs survive or die, and business transactions can still continue as usual.

As for how to spread out between the two and how many gangs are covered, it depends on their respective abilities.

The gangs in Kyushu and the Four Seas Alliance were originally independent and complete individuals, and in the bloody killing in the past few years, no gang has more than 1,000 people, so it can be said that the first rule is not much profit or loss between the original two alliances and gangs.

For the Didactic League, which already exists in a special form, it is even more harmless.

It's just that the current representation of the Daoyi Alliance is more clear, and it only refers to Juyuan and Yiyun Villa.

Villas like Qilin, Green Willow, and Shuixiu have either broken off their relationship with the Daoyi League and existed independently, or they were disbanded on the spot and merged into the Daoyi League, after all, the Daoyi League has become more and more sparse in recent years, and there are less than half a hundred people in total, how can it not exceed the number of 1,000 people.

Regarding the first rule, the most affected is the Cardinal Sect, followed by the Twelve Heavenly Evil Sects.

The Cardinal Sect is subdivided into ten halls, each of which has a relatively single function, and only by combining them into one can the entire gang operate normally, but the number of people in the ten halls is far more than a thousand.

After the twelve gates of Tiansha folded a place of evil, plus the general rudder Tiansha Palace, there are still eleven rudders, fortunately, regardless of the general rudder rudder can operate independently according to the original mechanism, in this way, if the twelve gates of Tiansha have the heart to become bigger, it can faintly be the first big gang in Zhongzhou.

The second was confined to fighting, so that as long as the gangs did not draw their swords and fists and shake their legs, large-scale actions were not expressly prohibited, so that business such as liquor and cloth could be carried on as usual.

The third is entirely to control the scale of the battle, after all, the court has limited energy, as long as they don't make any moves, they don't bother to pay attention.

Since the Hundred Flowers Conference, many people in the Zhongzhou martial arts have guessed that this "Martial Arts Restriction Order" will eventually come.

Those with a more long-term vision, after the first intervention in the rivers and lakes of the imperial court revealed clues in the early years, they knew that sooner or later there would be today.

The biggest loss is that the evil sect and demon sect, which have become more and more closely involved with the imperial court over the years, were crossed by the imperial court and demolished the bridge.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the forces of the rivers and lakes, the righteous and demonic realms have completely penetrated into the entire economic context of Zhongzhou over the years, the imperial court's explicit orders would not stop there.

It is impossible for the imperial court to keep an eye on all the forces in the rivers and lakes all the time and abide by the rules of the "Military Restriction Order", let alone be tired of imposing sanctions.

The promulgation of the "Arms Restriction Order" has its historical inevitability.

As early as a month after the rules came out, the disputes between the rivers and lakes that occurred in Xijiang County, Pinghai County, and Chu County involving dozens of people were quickly suppressed by the imperial army, which expressed the court's tough attitude and paved the way.

The bloody battle of Ning Terrace personally experienced by Jiang Yichen, Feipiao and others was transmitted to Kyoto a few days ago, and the fact that 500 Dongying killers infiltrated Zhongzhou was not concealed.

According to Jiang Yichen and the old uncle's inference, the five hundred Dongying killers entered the country to ambush and attack, and the killing was absolutely inseparable from the imperial court, however, the imperial court took advantage of this to implement the decree and flaunt justice.

Sarcasm is quite ironic.

But it is indeed not a bad thing in terms of listening to the return of the two pavilion masters of the Rain Pavilion.

With this "Martial Arts Restriction Order" on the side, Luo Piaoling and his party don't have to worry, similar to the situation where all forces converge in Baiju Town to snipe the father and daughter of the Niu family.

Jiang Yichen didn't know that at the moment, in addition to Xue Qinghuan of the Flowing Year Pavilion, there was anyone else who was the same as Luo Piaoling and Meng Chaoge.

It stands to reason that on the return trip, Xue Qinghuan should avoid suspicion on his own, and Tingyu Pavilion sent three elites to escort Luo and Meng back south.

In this way, the worst situation that the five of them may face is that there are always three groups of five people along the way.

This tacit understanding lies in the fact that the three forces must not appear at the same time, otherwise there is also a suspicion of forming an alliance to achieve the common goal.

Even though Luo Piaoling couldn't wield a sword and sword, and Meng Chaoge's strength was limited, no one side must have enough confidence to force over the three of them with the strength of five people, and kidnap or intercept Luo and Meng.

Therefore, in this case, the imperial court's "Martial Restriction Order" is tantamount to the talisman of Luo Piaoling and his party.

Judging from the coincidence of the development of time, Jiang Yichen did not rule out that the implementation of this order had a force secretly exerted by Luo Piaoling.

Jiang Yichen put down the teacup, smacked his lips, while tasting the unique taste of Yaogu's homemade health tea, while sorting out the general trend of Zhongzhou that had already been understood by Luo Piaoling, Lao Bo and other good strategists, and more clearly defined his role.
