The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

The emperor sat behind his desk and listened to Nong Junyan's report in front of him.

Nong Junyan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this time the encirclement and suppression of Shaolin Temple, more than 3,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and 100 Jinyi Guards were killed and wounded. ”

handed over a booklet, "Your Majesty, the list of mental secrets collected from these things, as well as the property in Shaolin's name." ”

The great eunuch Wei Huai took it and bowed down with both hands.

The emperor took it in his hand, opened it and looked at it, and then his face sank, "Bang." ”

slapped on the table and said angrily: "It's just a temple, but it's so rich, it's comparable to my treasury, it's good, it's very good." The sneer continued.

"That's right, tomorrow I'll gag the courtier's mouth with this thing. ”

Nong Junyan and Wei Huai lowered their heads and remained silent.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the door of the imperial study, Wei Huai caught a glimpse of it, and quietly walked to the door.

He whispered, "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch said, "Father-in-law Wei, Yin Ge is in a hurry to see. ”

Wei Huai looked back inside, hesitated, and just wanted to say something, a voice came from inside the room, "Pass." ”

Wei Huai turned around and bowed yes, turned his head and nodded to the little eunuch.

Not long after, an old man with gray hair entered the imperial study.

The old man looked anxious, and after saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, Guangxi Dilong turned over, the houses collapsed, and the people suffered heavy casualties, it is winter now, especially this year, somehow, the weather is colder than in previous years, and please Your Majesty, hurry up and issue an order for disaster relief." ”

When the emperor heard this, his expression was also stunned, the earthquake in Guangxi?

Then he said: "Don't worry, Elder Yin Ge, I will give an order to let people go to the disaster relief, the specific details, and then the cabinet will come up with a charter." ”

Yin Ge Lao breathed a sigh of relief and bowed down to say yes.

After the people left, the emperor looked at Nong Junyan and Wei Huai, as if he remembered something, and asked, "How long will it take for Guangxi to deliver a message here?"

Wei Huai thought for a while and said, "Back to Your Majesty, if you hurry up, it will take about ten days." ”

The emperor's face changed when he heard this, wasn't that the time when Shaolin had just been extinguished?

Nong Junyan and Wei Huai looked at each other, not understanding what was wrong with the emperor.

Wei Huai asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

The Emperor waved his hand, speechless.

......

At night, the palace is in the treasury.

The Emperor flipped through the book in his hand, and after a while, he finished reading one, put it aside, and took out another from the box and continued to look through it.

On the table next to it, there were a few books scattered around, and I saw that on the cover of the booklet, the golden bell jar, the jack gate, the golden dragon hand, the one-finger Zen gong, etc., were several of the seventy-two Shaolin stunts.

Not long after, the emperor bent down in the box, flipped through it, stood up, and muttered: "It's a pity that there is no "Yijin Sutra" and "Washing the Pulp Sutra". ”

......

After the end of the year.

The imperial court issued an edict again, ordering all the Jianghu sects to rush to the capital within three months, and all those who have practiced internal breath should carry the secret books of their own sects.

This time, with the fall of Shaolin Temple in front, no one dares to despise it.

All the sects in the rivers and lakes began to go to the capital.

Of course, there are those who don't want to be restrained, and either go overseas or go west, for example, Huashan Sect Yue Buqun leads his disciples to go overseas and go east.

......

Yongkang four years, June.

Outside the capital, Wu Palace.

Jinyiwei commanded Nong Junyan to walk out of the mountain gate and bowed to salute: "Your Majesty has arrived, and you have missed the distance, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Next to him, the great eunuch Wei Huai, the emperor in civilian clothes waved his hand, "I'm just here to see how the research is progressing." ”

Nong Junyan waved his hand sideways, "Your Majesty, please." ”

The Emperor nodded, and walked inside.

Nong Junyan was by his side, "Your Majesty, since you moved all the secret martial arts methods in the palace treasury to the Martial Palace three months ago, as well as the exercises offered by various sects and factions, all of them have been studied. ”

"I am also a little eyebrow about the superficial, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-practice method of internal breathing that His Majesty wants to comprehensively promote within the army. ”

The Emperor listened and nodded with a smile on his face.

While talking, the group walked to the place.

The emperor looked at the nine-story pagoda in front of him and smiled, the martial arts in it can almost be said to cover the existing martial arts of the entire rivers and lakes, except for a few martial arts.

This is the seed, and if you spread it all over the world, it will give birth to surprises.

The emperor raised his feet and walked in, several people had martial arts, and after a while, he walked around the nine-story pagoda, the martial arts of each layer were different, and there were almost a few figures on each floor who were concentrating on studying martial arts.

Although this pagoda is placed here, it is heavily guarded, and those who are idle cannot enter.

Out of the pagoda, the emperor turned his head to Nong Junyan and said, "In various places, have the teachings of the martial arts hall been arranged in place?"

Nong Junyan bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, except for the extremely remote areas, which are too poor to set up a martial arts hall, the martial arts halls in each region have sent registered martial artists to teach, and when the subordinates make arrangements, they are also taught by people from the previous local sects, so it is easier to implement." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "I have a heart." ”

Turned around and glanced back at the nine-story pagoda, then looked into the distance, looked at the verdant in the distance, and muttered: "Wait slowly, sooner or later, sooner or later, it will develop sooner or later." ”

I was stunned for a moment.

Nong Junyan and Wei Huai were accompanied by them, not daring to disturb.

After a long time, when he came back to his senses, he seemed to remember something, and asked casually: "I heard that Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan faction has entered the army?"

Nong Junyan nodded, "Yes, this person doesn't seem to have much interest in these martial arts, but instead asks to join the army. Your Majesty, do you want to ......?"

The emperor waved his hand, "No, just pay attention." ”

......

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

The Emperor sat behind his desk and rubbed his brow.

"Elder Yin Ge, why did so many things happen?"

Yin Ge Lao bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, there have not been many major disasters in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and there have been many small disasters, and the frequency is much greater than usual, and the weather has been extremely cold in recent years. ”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty promoted the sweet potato and the potato, both of which had a higher yield, and the food greatly relieved the food needs of the people. ”

The emperor frowned, his eyes flashing slightly.

Yin Ge Lao looked up at the emperor cautiously, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen suggests that you go to Wudang Mountain to worship the True Martial God, and pray for the True Martial God to bless the Ming Dynasty, and ...... And ......"

The emperor was expressionless and glanced at him, "Do you want me to make an edict against myself?"

Wei Huai next to him listened, lowered his head and did not speak.

Yin Ge Lao was taken aback by his eyes, and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare, but now, there are disasters in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and there are quite a few whispers in various places, saying that Your Majesty's establishment of a martial arts hall is about to carry out a reckless military move, so ......"

The emperor was expressionless, looked at him for a while, and only looked at the old man in a cold sweat.

"Okay, get up, there is no need to sin your own edict, go back to Wudang Mountain to worship the true martial god." ”

Yin Ge Lao breathed a sigh of relief, got up, and after a short conversation, left.

The emperor muttered, "Is it because my position is not right? But isn't this a martial arts world? Could it be that there is still some heavenly will?"
