"This second point is actually the first of the disadvantages of this dynasty, the "Forbidden Martial Law"..." Liu Shuai paid attention to the change in the expression of the second prince and then said: "Originally, the martial arts style in Middle-earth was very strong. After the Taizu Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the disbandment of all martial sects and the killing of all disobedient people... Although this move seems to be long-term and stable, there are endless troubles."

Since the release of "Forbidden Martial Law", half of the martial arts sects have been wiped out, and the Kunlun Sword Sect, the leader, was besieged by a 50,000 army. The battle was extremely tragic. More than 2,000 people from the Kunlun Sect did not leave any living words. This battle played a strong role in killing chickens and warning monkeys. The other half nominally responded to the imperial order, disbanded the sect and transformed it into a manor. The head of the sect became a small landlord, and gradually evolved into the current martial arts family.

There were only two martial arts sects preserved at that time, one was Chanlin Temple and the other was Chongxu Temple. There are three reasons why these two sects have been prosperous to this day: First, when Taizu raised his troops, the two sects secretly helped; second, the two sects were usually indifferent to the world and rarely fought and killed in the world; third, according to convention, royal sacrificial celebrations, etc., monks and Taoists need to preach and pray for blessings, and they cannot be killed all...

I heard that two generals in the court were both great masters of martial arts. The court was extremely strong and the national strength was strong. Emperor Taizong was even more talented and had a land idea in the world of cultivation... For example, the Huang Sect of the Western Xinjiang Tantric Buddhism was the first unlucky practice sect, and some other small sects were killed by elite soldiers led by the great master of martial arts.

Later, somehow, the imperial army suddenly roared and withdrawn. Taizong was at ease to manage the government affairs and never used force again. He governed the country into a peaceful and prosperous era. Small alien countries were regarded as the supreme state of the Celestial Empire. Taizong was also called the Holy Emperor by later generations.

In short, since then, there have been only three types of people in the Celestial Empire who can blatantly wear weapons: the first type is naturally the officers and soldiers of the court; the second type is the escort team. After all, there were illegal people in peace and prosperity. Caravans need protection from escort agencies, and weapons of each escort agency must be registered with the government; the third type is a bit ridiculous. Any scholar with fame can wear swords, almost all of them are useless.

"There are endless troubles, how to change them?"

The second prince was slightly surprised. Emperor Taizong was always a role model in the minds of later princes and grandsons. This holy emperor did many wise monarchs in history who had not done anything. There were almost no fights in the martial arts world that had plagued governments everywhere during his reign. It was indeed commendable.

Liu Shuai said: "Everyone knows that after our dynasty's prosperity, the country's power declined, everyone values ​​culture over military forces, the soldiers in the army have no fighting spirit, and the people have no power to protect themselves... In the eighth year of Tianhong, two thousand cavalrymen of the Loulan Kingdom originally went to Xiyuan County to plunder wealth, but they did not want to throw away their armor when they met. The entire Xiyuan County was occupied by only two thousand Loulan soldiers! The angry and brave people wanted to resist, but they had no weapons in their hands, so they could not stop the Loulan cavalry from attacking! This is an eternal shame, and it is the disaster caused by the forbidden martial arts..."

The faces of the three people present changed. Xiyuan County was a small town at the junction of the Celestial Empire and Loulan. The battle back then was indeed a great shame in the minds of the Celestial Empire... This place was occupied by Loulan Kingdom for ten years, and it was not until more than 20 years ago that Duan Wang led the army to recover the lost territory. This is one of the reasons why Duan Wang can now suppress the scenes of the two western and two provinces.

The second prince said: "Sir, this is a bit biased. The battle was indeed a great shame. However, the generals guarding the city were suspected of dereliction of duty. Second, the wars in the past were only the old and weak and remnants of Xiyuan City. Third, the Loulan cavalry was too strong back then, but it cannot be attributed to the Forbidden Martial Arts..."

Liu Shuai smiled and said, "I dare to ask the little prince, during the national crisis in all dynasties, all righteous men in the martial arts world have stood up and sacrificed their lives for the country. Why did the righteous men in the martial arts world not stand up in the martial arts world during the national crisis? People from all walks of life would rather become bandits than serve the court?"

The second prince also smiled and said, "Most of the gangs of the world hold grudges against the Holy Emperor Taizong, so they will naturally not serve the country. However, although there are precedents of righteous men in history who sacrificed their lives for the country, they are useless. In Xiao Wang's opinion, whether they defend their country or compete for the world, they are all reliable orthodox soldiers, and the gangs of the world are ultimately unreliable!"

Liu Shuai said: "The Emperor Taizong of the Sage has his words, and he takes it from the people and uses it for the people. The orthodox soldiers and horses that the little prince said eventually come from the people. After three hundred years of emphasis on culture and over military affairs, most of the people of the Celestial Empire have no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit. Even if they become soldiers of the court, how many years of training will be too effective?"

"this……"

The second prince was speechless and felt as if he had some understanding, but he did not come up with any reason.

Liu Shuai smiled and said, "Haha, the court has its own difficulties, and it is understandable to limit the turbulent world of the world. However, "Forbidden Martial Law" is too domineering and erases all the martial arts styles among the people. When the country is in trouble, the people have no power to protect themselves... On the contrary, Loulan and South Korea have a prosperous martial arts style, and it can be said that the whole people are soldiers! In this way, all the barbarians in foreign countries have the will of fighting. Once they go to the battlefield, they can block ten. How can our Celestial Army be unbeaten?"

Suddenly he stood up and bowed, the second prince said solemnly: "I hope you can name the problem of the trauma."

Liu Shuai enjoyed the pleasure of being treated with courtesy and finally achieved the effect he wanted. He said word by word: "I think that if you want to practice tiger and wolf soldiers, you must first practice tiger and wolf ambition!"

"Well said!"

Zheng Yi stood up, his expression was extremely excited, and he was of the same virtue as the passionate young man in Xibeiliu's memory. Realizing that he was overwhelming, Zheng Yi looked embarrassed and hurriedly sat down.

"Okay, good words to practice tiger and wolf soldiers, first practice tiger and wolf ambition!"

The second prince did not seem to have noticed Zheng Yi's misconduct. He suddenly figured out many questions.

At this moment, he completely understood why King Duan looked for those who were brave and cruel by nature when he chose new recruits. A person's fighting spirit was influenced by his childhood and developed in the general environment. It was by no means possible to become a brave sergeant after being trained in the military camp for a period of time.

"It turns out that my father has long realized the hidden dangers of the Forbidden Martial Law, but his words and deeds have attracted attention, so he is not good at explaining the faults of the Holy Ancestor? No wonder, no wonder our two soldiers are becoming more and more powerful, which can shock the Kingdom of Loulan. My father has done a lot of hard work in secret over the past thirty years..."

The thoughts flashed in his mind, and the second prince felt a sudden enlightenment and said aloud: "Listen to you is better than reading for ten years. The gentleman has the kindness to solve Xiao Wang's doubts, please accept Xiao Wang's gift..."

As he said that, he bowed to the ground!

"Little Prince?"

Zheng Yi and Wu Wencai were shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, they had never seen the Second Prince so abnormal.

"If you don't dare to take it, you must not take it. The little prince must not kill him."

Xibeiliu immediately returned the gift and looked grateful.

Niang Xipi, if I weren’t experienced, I would have been frightened by you! Liu Shuai was secretly feeling that he could be sure that the second prince was indeed a character, and he had similarities with some wise lords in his memory. When he saw useful land talents, he would dare to condescend to show great tribute to move the other party...
