Chapter 17 Entering the Clan Mansion for the first time
The Zongren Mansion was established in the early Ming Dynasty. It was called the Dazong Yuan in the third year of Hongwu. In the 22nd year of Hongwu, it was renamed the Zongren Mansion. It was located not far northwest of the imperial palace and was a forbidden place for the royal family. It was not allowed to approach unless there was an imperial order.
There is a sect leader under it, one sect leader, one sect leader, and one sect leader under the left and right. They are all first-rank ranks of the imperial court and are held by the royal prince. There are also several officials, with official positions ranging from the second-rank to the sixth-rank rank, and are responsible for assisting management.
The clan mansion is not internally and externally. It specializes in handling royal family affairs, in charge of the clan list of the nine royal family clans, compiles jade certificates on time, and records the legitimate and illegitimate names, titles, life and death time, marriage, posthumous titles, burials, crimes, responsibilities and negligence of the family's children.
In addition, the Zongren Mansion is also the high-end combat power of the Ming Dynasty royal family, and has the responsibility to check and balance the Jinyiwei of the East Factory and the West Factory, and to protect the royal family.
The emperors of the Zhu family were not suspicious. Compared with outsiders, they believed in their own people more, so they chose talented teenagers from the clan every year to enter the clan mansion to practice and cultivate the royal family.
The best cultivation resources, the best cultivation environment, the best martial arts secrets, and the best teachings from famous teachers.
Therefore, the strength of the sect mansion is very strong, really strong, so powerful that it makes the entire world secret.
Those who know do not want to say much, and those who don’t know do not know. Over time, the clan mansion has become a place for royal exile and retirement, and is inconspicuous at all.
The black hall, the black palace gate, and the black armored guard holding a spear indifferent expression like a stone sculpture.
Before he could enter the clan mansion, a heavy sense of depression came to his face.
"Mr. Zongzheng!"
At the gate of the sect’s mansion, the black-armored guard saw the old man in front of Zhu Chenhao and saluted respectfully.
"Um!"
The old man looked at the black-armored guard guard at the gate, nodded, and said no, then took Zhu Chenhao into the palace courtyard, which was known as the forbidden area of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
Dull, depressing!
Zhu Chenhao walked in the clan mansion and felt extremely dull and depressed.
The clan mansion is very large, but it is also very empty, quiet and quiet. Occasionally, the black-armored guards and palace maids appear, and they are like ghosts, silent, and there is no sound when walking.
The extremely cold black armored guard, the careful maid wearing a plain dress, the royal disciple who almost said "Don't get close to someone else" on his face, and the old royal family members who always have an old face.
Anyway, there is no normal person in the huge clan mansion.
"Mr. Zongzheng!"
Zhu Chenhao, who didn't know the division of the sect's office, only felt that the old man who brought him was doing well in this sect's office.
Almost everyone I met would stop and salute him.
Whether it is a black armor guard, a maid in plain clothes, or a royal disciple wearing a black python robe, no one can be exceptional.
The old man was also very handsome. He saluted everyone and nodded at most, always maintaining a cold attitude.
"I have seen Lord Zong Zheng, but I wonder what instructions did Lord Zong Zheng give me?"
In a side hall in the backyard of the Zongren Mansion, a middle-aged man in a black robe saw the old man appear, hurriedly put down the busy things in his hands and bowed.
However, the old man did not answer the question in front of him, but turned to Zhu Chenhao and said, "This is Zhu Jianwen, the manager of the sect's mansion. According to the seniority, you should call him "The Emperor's Uncle, the King Huai lineage. If you have any problems in the sect's mansion in the future, you can find him."
After the old man finished speaking, he turned to Zhu Jianwen and said, "This is Zhu Youqian, the thirteenth son of the current emperor. From today on, he will learn martial arts in the clan mansion. You can arrange it!"
"I've seen the Emperor!"
"I've seen the Thirteenth Prince!"
Zhu Chenhao and Zhu Jianwen bowed slightly and they got to know each other.
Seeing that the old man met the two, he stopped stopping, reminded Zhu Chenhao, and turned around and left.
After the old man left, Zhu Chenhao clearly felt the emperor's uncle in front of him breathing a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, he asked curiously: "Dare you ask the emperor, who is the old clan before?"
Well, although I followed the old man all the way, Zhu Chenhao knew nothing about the old man's identity and name. Both of them were taciturn masters and had no communication along the way.
After all, who knows whether the original owner recognizes the other party or not, what if he is beaten to death if he says the wrong thing?
He could deeply feel the horror of the old man. Although he was far inferior to the royal sweeping monk in the secret library, he was also extremely strong, much stronger than him.
When Zhu Jianwen heard this, he didn't think much about it and said, "What the Thirteenth Prince is talking about You Zongzheng, Prince Rong?"
You Zongzheng, Prince Rong!
Zhu Chenhao silently remembered this name in his heart.
"Prince Rong is the only remaining old man in the royal family today, and he is also the uncle of the current emperor. Therefore, according to seniority, the Thirteenth Highness should call him the Uncle of the Emperor."
Zhu Jianwen explained to Zhu Chenhao with a smile.
Zhu Chenhao is not young anymore. When he heard Zhu Jianwen's name, he immediately smiled and said, "Your uncle just calls me Xiao Shisan. Since he has come to the clan mansion, then the Thirteenth Prince has disappeared."
If Zhu Chenhao didn't know what the prince entered the sect's mansion meant before, he now understood.
But he didn't care too much, but instead felt that this sect's mansion was more suitable for him than the imperial palace.
When Zhu Jianwen heard this, he nodded, with a hint of praise in his eyes, and said, "Since that's the case, I will call you Xiao Shisan directly from now on."
"Xiao Shisan waited for a while, and after I finished my work, I would take you to my residence and tell you the basic situation of our sect's mansion."
The clan mansion is divided into two sects: internal and external sects. Among them, some clan elders are responsible for handling royal clan affairs, that is, in charge of clan lists, compile jade letters, and record the children of the clan family. Prince Zuo Zong Zhengcheng is responsible for it.
The inner sect is responsible for teaching the royal family disciples with talent for martial arts. They are the high-end combat power of the royal family. They are responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor, vassal kings, princes and other royal family members, checking and balancing the Jinyiwei of the East Factory and the West Factory, and overwhelming the Jianghu Sects.
The person in charge of the inner sect is Prince Rong, the Youzongzheng and who brought Zhu Chenhao to him.
Of course, the clan mansion will not only include disciples with talented martial arts within the clan, but will also recruit extremely talented young people from all over the world to train them.
However, these teenagers are more trained as royal guards. No matter how great the potential is, they will never be able to reach the core of the clan mansion, let alone occupy a high position.
In addition, Zhu Chenhao originally thought that joining the clan mansion would get rid of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Who would have thought that the courses in the clan mansion were more perverted than those in the imperial palace princes.
Although we focus on martial arts practice, we are also indispensable for learning cultural courses. The Four Books and Five Classics are just the most basic. In addition, there are astronomy and geography, Qimen Bagua, herbal poison identification, and learning common sense in the world.
Anyway, I have arranged a lot for you all day long and I don’t have to rest for a while.
In terms of learning intensity, I am afraid that it will be even higher than that of senior high school students in previous lives.
In addition, in addition to studying on weekdays, there are practical training, training with each other in the early stage, killing people and real fighting, etc., in short, it is enough to be very perverted.
Of course, these are still far from Zhu Chenhao, because he is just a young newbie who has just entered the clan mansion. His main task is to practice martial arts, occasionally learn other miscellaneous studies, and the rest must be carried out after he becomes a third-rate warrior.
Well, it's a third-rate warrior.
I forgot to say that in the information filing of the sect mansion, he is still a young newbie who has just been involved in martial arts for a while. He has just condensed his internal strength. He is still a big gap from the realm of a third-rate warrior.
And what about Zhu Chenhao?
Of course he would not expose his true strength. He had already seen that the disciples of the clan who were sent to the sect's mansion were completely trained as swords.
Such a training model is not about cultivating princes, but people believe it is about cultivating killers.
Faced with such a situation, it would be strange if Zhu Chenhao took the initiative to expose his strength.
What he lacks now is not resources and attention, but time. As long as he can achieve great success in his magical skills, he is not able to do whatever he wants.
Why do you have to be the fool who stands out? You are not afraid of being slapped to death by someone.
After all, this sect's mansion is not peaceful, with many roots and various intrigues.
