Chapter 544: The Emperor Arrives
"The emperor has arrived. A high-pitched call, everyone in the Fuzhenguan Hall knelt on the ground together, and the top of the head of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, who came down from the jade reel, was a long crown plate, with dozens of beads hanging down at the top, and the red and green colored threads were worn together, giving him the majesty of the monarch. Zhu Di was wearing the emperor's crown robe, with yellow lines on a black background and gold edges, looking solemn. The guards around him are not far from the left and right, like the stars holding the moon. Ming Chengzu walked to the chairman alone, several concubines sat in the back row, and the guards were protected on both sides and in the rear, and the majesty of the lord of a country was vividly displayed.
After the emperor took his seat, he said loudly: "The Qing family is exempt from courtesy, please take a seat." ”
The crowd shouted long live, the drums rang out in unison, and the cheers thundered.
Next, Zhu Di made a pre-game speech with his unique voice, which was nothing more than to encourage martial arts people to work hard, strive for the top, and contribute to the long-term peace and stability of the imperial court. Those who are willing to serve the imperial court can join the army at any time to make contributions and glorify their ancestors. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's words attracted bursts of applause, and the crowd was excited.
On the table at the front of the rostrum is a plaque of "Martial Arts Overlord", and the four big characters mentioned by Zhu Di in gold represent the power given by the emperor, as if telling the people that if you get her, you can have five years to dominate the Central Plains martial arts, and she is the same as the Holy Decree, and no one needs to doubt her authenticity. All the eyes on and off the stage are looking at this golden plaque, eager to try.
At this moment, the craziest thing in the audience is the "stick god" Cen Fenghan. He looked greedily at the golden plaque of "Martial Arts Overlord", as if he had firmly pinched it in the palm of his hand. The "Qianyuan Stick" also hissed, and I couldn't wait. His wife, Lu Yunxia, was silent beside him. She felt an unspeakable crisis creeping in, and her husband's fanaticism made her worry, is Cen Fenghan really ready to be the overlord of the martial arts? Lu Yunxia replied no.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains martial arts sects were established. Each territory is the norm in martial arts, and there is no need for an alliance. Most people who practice martial arts are accustomed to being alone, and they are unwilling to intervene in the whirlpool of right and wrong. But it is precisely because there is no restraint on buying that the people of the rivers and lakes cause a huge disaster every time they cause a small reason, and the grievances become deeper and deeper, giving a few fanatics the opportunity to instigate. caused trouble to breathe, so that the justice of the entire martial arts was lost, and it became more and more restless. This time, the imperial court united all the martial arts factions to hold a martial arts competition in Wudang Mountain. It is the slogan of saving the rivers and lakes, eliminating evil, and upholding justice to unify the chaotic martial arts. Therefore, the new martial arts overlord will have the authority to dominate the entire Jianghu martial arts.
Husband Cen Fenghan is too young, and it is not easy for a fledgling to achieve such an achievement. But if he wants to be a martial arts overlord, he is not qualified enough. But now Cen Fenghan has forgotten about it. I think I am bound to win, and I am full of ambition. It is exactly what Lu Yunxia is worried about. Today, the emperor arrived, and the martial arts people who were not eager to try and rushed to show themselves in front of the saint. "Stick God" Cen Fenghan will become the target of everyone, he is a character who does not admit defeat, and no one can stop him when his temper comes up. A vicious fight is inevitable.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunxia began to have a headache.
At the same time, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's gaze slowly turned to Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan. It was the first time they had met. Sitting on the rostrum, the "Taiji Whirlwind Sword" Ou Lingtian has a majestic body and a dignified appearance. A pair of eyes shoot cold stars, two eyebrows are like paint, the heart is bold and bold, and there is a majesty that is invincible. Zhu Di nodded secretly, sure enough, he was a real hero as his name suggested.
Ou Lingtian also looked at Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, this tyrant who had a deep enmity with the Ou family and the Shen family was in his fifties, with a medium talent, a thick beard that stretched to his chest, a slightly dark face, and a cold handsome with sharp edges and corners. In particular, the dark and deep eyes have a cold luster. This former Yan King is really like the former household servant Zhuo Jing said: "Brilliant wisdom, eloquence, cool like a high emperor." ”
Ou Lingtian felt that his eyes were a little astringent, his skin was a little numb, and a sudden pain was deep in the bone marrow, and the Buddha couldn't go away. It was as if an invisible fence had suddenly clamped itself, and on the other side of the fence was a bloody sword, a bloody mouth had been opened, and the remnants of flesh and a few human hairs could be seen between the teeth.
In all fairness, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was a great emperor, and the Ming Yongle year far surpassed the Han and Tang dynasties. During his reign, he was lenient and severe, knew people well and did not do anything to slander; he used troops to respond to changes and was resourceful and courageous; he was sensitive to the people's feelings, and when a county or county encountered a disaster, he provided disaster relief free of rent, and was honored to be outspoken and protected the meritorious heroes. If it weren't for the revenge of killing his wife and taking his children, Ou Lingtian might really surrender to his feet and surrender his hands.
On July 5 of the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Dizhi captured Zhang and Xie Gui who were stationed in Beiping, captured Jiumen, swore to raise troops, and began a three-year "Battle of Jingyan". After the invasion of Nanjing, 44 people were publicly declared by Zhu Di to be the Jianwen traitorous party, and Huang Zicheng and Qi Qin were Ling Chi and exterminated the three clans. Fang Xiaoru Ling Chi, exterminated the ten clans, and killed 873 people. The corpses of the palace were strewn all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. Even the opponent's family members did not let go, Tie Xuan's wife and daughter, Fang Xiao's daughter, Qi Tai's wife, and Huang Zicheng's sister did not enter the teaching workshop as a prostitute.
From the former ministers of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, Ou Lingtian seemed to see his body tied to a wooden pole, the ultra-thin knife cut off the flesh on his body piece by piece, and was thrown into the kettle to cook, and everyone in the "Huashan Black Wolf" was beheaded for public display, and his wife and daughter were reduced to slaves, and life was worse than death.
"No" Ou Lingtian shouted softly, Lin Feilan, the "golden gun" beside her, was startled, grabbed her husband's hand violently, and felt the cold sweat in his palm.
"Husband. Lin Feilan shouted quietly, Ou Lingtian quickly calmed down, he once again felt the majesty of the emperor, the dragon robe on Zhu Di's body represented absolute power, the dragon robe gave him a fantasy and mythological color, although he looked kind and cute now, basically harmless. But Zhu Di's character determines that he will never be soft on his enemies, he still needs the nourishment of the enemy's blood, and he needs the opponent to pay the blood price for his survival.
The two met for the first time, Zhu Di won a small victory in the first round, Ming Chengzu smiled slightly, and slowly looked away, on his left was Shaolin Wudang, Emei Qingcheng and other martial arts factions, one by one sitting in a precarious position, facing the emperor's direct gaze and not daring to come out. On Zhu Di's right is the alliance leader of the Tianshan Martial Arts Conference, "Emei Heavenly Palace", and the palace master "Hook and Sickle Killing Spear" Kuai Daxiong, the two looked at each other, Kuai Daxiong was a little frightened, and he didn't dare to raise his head. On the contrary, the palace master of the "Jiangnan Flower Palace", "Flower Fairy" Su Yinghan smiled at the emperor, Su Yinghan's long appearance is no less than that of the "Qin Saint" Chen Fengjiao, and Concubine Quan also has a comparison. She formed an alliance with Chen Guifei to deal with Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan, and Zhu Di accepted her courtesy, but basically ignored her beauty. made Su Yinghan feel lost.
The great eunuch Liu Jing stood up and announced the official start of the game.
Yesterday's champion "Stick God" Cen Fenghan jumped into the ring, first knelt down to worship Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, three shouts of long live, and expressed Xiàn's extreme piety. Zhu Di smiled and didn't speak, this young man was full of energy, and the "Qianyuan Stick" in his hand exuded a strong luster in the sun, that is, he defeated the "River Dragon" Shi Ying and removed a hidden danger for the imperial court. Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.
"Stick God" Cen Fenghan stood up and waved the stick in his hand, flying up and down, making a "buzzing" sound. He is showing his martial arts, and today is the key to determining the outcome of the victory, and the golden signboard of "Martial Arts Overlord" has shaken, and his blood is boiling and he is full of spirit.
A samurai flew up to the stage, holding a "Xiaoyun Sword", and he was in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly figure. Facing the emperor kneeling down and kowtowing first, and then standing up and facing Cen Fenghan face to face, the sword pointed and said: "The junior is not talented, and he is willing to teach Cen Yingxing's stick skills." ”
Cen Fenghan smiled slightly and said, "We are each other, please ask for your honorific name." ”
The young man replied: "I apprenticed under the Qingcheng Gate, known as the 'Lightning Swordsman' Wan Huaifeng. ”
The Qingcheng sect is a sect of Taoism that cultivates in Inner Dan, originating from Qingcheng Mountain, the birthplace of Taoism in China. According to legend, it began with the Qingcheng Zhangren, and Li Babai and others practiced it. Qingcheng faction is divided into three major branches, Taoist martial arts talk about light and elegant, stretch and generous; Buddhism talks about small hands in a chain, light walking; chivalry says that they are good at fighting in uneven places, in general, they are deeply influenced by the Taoist culture of Qingcheng Mountain, good at spitting health, heavy combat fighting, step type, body method, peculiar technique, changeable, is an important martial arts faction in the Central Plains, and Shaolin Wudang Emei and so on.
And the "Xiaoyun Sword" in Wan Huaifeng's hand is rumored to be a blade named after Wan Xiaoyunjing, the ancestor of the mountain. This sword is less than two feet, and the scabbard and hilt are inlaid with seven precious stones, which is the treasure of the temple of the Snow Mountain Temple. The "Lightning Swordsman" of the Qingcheng faction, Wan Huaifeng's "Xiaoyun Sword", represents their highest martial arts, and they are the best among the young disciples. The martial arts people in the audience have heard that Wan Huaifeng is young and vigorous, and he has a sense of rivers and lakes. His sword blade is extremely sharp, and his swordsmanship is perfect. There are few opponents on the rivers and lakes.
The entire Wudang Mountain Martial Arts Championship Qingcheng faction did not participate in the competition, silently watching the battle, and the gangs have been following up in the past four days, waiting for the day when Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, came in person. "Learn literature and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family." It is the greatest wish of all martial arts practitioners, and today Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is sitting on the rostrum, and the opportunity is rare. Just ask, who doesn't want to rush to be the emperor's servant and tool. to rely on power and the court to glorify the ancestors.
No one thought that today's Qingcheng faction disciple "Lightning Swordsman" Wan Huaifeng seized the opportunity, and as soon as he appeared, he was a big deal, and he was determined to win. (To be continued......)
