"Good fellow, if this is really the case, then His Highness's talent is already on par with mine." Zhang Sanfeng thought silently in his heart.
Of course, although Zhang Sanfeng is old, his face is still not thick enough to reach the stage of enlightenment, so he cannot say this out loud.
Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng didn't speak, Zhu Biao also felt that it was a bit bad to keep the topic on martial arts. Didn't he see that Xiao Zhang next to him was blushing?
So he took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder what Master Zhang thinks of the changes between heaven and earth in the past few months?"
"What change?" Zhang Sanfeng's heart moved and he asked calmly.
Zhu Biao laughed and said, "You old man, don't pretend to be confused with me. Of course I'm talking about spiritual energy recovery!"
When Zhang Songxi next to him heard this, his hand that was pouring tea paused again.
Zhu Biao raised his head and glanced at him, thinking that you were stuck one after another, thinking you were a robot or something.
"Is the imperial court already aware of this matter?" Zhang Sanfeng asked as he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
"Nonsense, this is what I did!" Zhu Biao vomited in his heart, but nodded calmly on his face.
Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "To be honest, this mysterious Qi... let's call it spiritual energy. It is of great benefit to the improvement of a warrior's realm!"
"After the emergence of spiritual energy, my cultivation speed is almost ten times faster than before, and the power of every move and style I perform is increasing, and some magical phenomena have even occurred."
When Zhang Sanfeng said this, his face couldn't help but look solemn and said: "In addition to improving the speed of warriors' cultivation, I think this kind of spiritual energy can even stimulate the human body's potential to a certain extent. If the spiritual energy continues to recover in the future, people like Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba will
People with natural powers will appear again, and martial arts in the world will become more prosperous!"
"Before the spiritual energy was revived, no one in the entire Central Plains had entered the Xiantian Realm in the past hundred years except for old Taoists, but now there are probably some!"
"And it will continue to increase in the future!"
"be honest!"
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Zhu Biao and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid this is not conducive to the stability of the Ming Empire."
"Zhenzhen Zhang is absolutely right!"
Zhu Biao sighed: "That's why the imperial court held this martial arts conference!"
"Zhenzhen Zhang, my father asked me and you to find out firsthand that the imperial court wants to form a Dragon Guard Division after this martial arts conference and invite masters from the martial arts world to join. What do you think?"
"Gu Long Division?" Zhang Sanfeng's heart moved, he stroked his beard and pondered.
"The head of the Dragon Protection Department can also serve as the national advisor of the Ming Empire, and his position is the same as that of the Third Duke."
"My father has asked you to be the first chief of the department." Zhu Biao smiled and threw another depth charge.
"Your Majesty is willing to establish the position of National Advisor?" Zhang Sanfeng was really shocked at this time.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted him to be the national advisor, which Zhang Sanfeng never expected.
In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang awarded Zhang Changchang of Longhu Mountain the title of Zhengyijiao Zhenren, who would always be in charge of Taoist affairs in the world, and was given a silver seal and a rank of second rank.
If the Ming Dynasty wants to establish the position of national master, Longhu Mountain is the orthodox one. No matter how you look at it, you should invite Zhang Changsheng and Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain.
"Your Majesty is indeed a man of great courage!" Zhang Sanfeng had no choice but to praise with emotion in the end.
Zhu Yuanzhang offered some conditions that he couldn't refuse.
"Everyone has needs. As long as I understand his needs, then this person can be used by me!"
This is the truth that Zhu Yuanzhang taught Zhu Biao. Today he confirmed this truth through a conversation with Zhang Sanfeng.
As a new Taoist force, Wudang has been at its peak in recent years, but its foundation is actually very shallow. Its current situation is all supported by Zhang Sanfeng.
In the arena, the struggle between Wudang and Shaolin has already become fierce. The escort agencies that transport goods, the boat gangs that transport people, and the martial arts schools in various places. These traditional industries controlled by the forces of the arena are the focus of the competition between the two sides.
Even though the Shaolin Temple has not been showing off its integrity over the years, the forces under its jurisdiction are actually extremely large and have always been able to suppress Wudang.
Within the Taoist sect, Wudang is also at a disadvantage.
The three mountains of Longhu Mountain, Gezao Mountain and Maoshan are integrated into one, which is the original and authentic sect. Wudang can only be regarded as a side branch of Taoism in the eyes of others. If people have something to do, most of the time they will not take Wudang to play at all.
This is the embarrassing position of the Wu-Tang Clan today.
Although it is famous, in fact, it is difficult to enter the core level in various circles.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's conditions perfectly solved these two problems for Zhang Sanfeng.
The head of the Dragon Protection Division and the current national advisor. These two identities endorsed the Wudang Sect in Jianghu and Taoism respectively.
Zhang Sanfeng knew very well that as long as he agreed to be the head of the Dragon Guard Division, the imperial court would definitely support the Wudang Sect at both the Jianghu and Taoist levels, and then suppress the Shaolin Temple and Longhu Mountain.
This is the fundamental reason why Zhang Sanfeng cannot refuse.
Returning to the palace, Zhu Biao met Zhu Yuanzhang who was reviewing the memorial in Fengtian Hall.
"Did he agree?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked without raising his head.
"Tell me to think about it!"
Zhu Biao sat down next to Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile: "But I feel that we are inseparable!"
"Biao'er, let me test you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial and smiled: "Tell me why I chose Zhang Sanfeng to be the head of the Dragon Protection Department?"
Zhu Biao had thought about this problem for a long time. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "The first real person is famous enough in the world and strong enough. He is the leader of the Dragon Protection Department and is well-received by everyone. No one dares to have an opinion."
"The Second Wudang Sect has a shallow foundation and is not closely connected with local forces and officials from the DPRK and China. However, both Longhu Mountain and Shaolin Temple have deep roots. After the spiritual energy is revived, the personal force value will soar. If the Dragon Guard Division falls into their hands
There is a possibility that the tail will be too big to fall off in the future.”
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Third, because we now have guns in our hands."
"It is precisely because the Bingzhang Bureau has created a gun that can shoot down the great masters of Huajin and even the innate strong men that I dare to do this. Otherwise, let alone Zhang Sanfeng and those martial arts warriors, even Liu Ji would not be able to do it.
Let him stay in the court for a long time, and he will be sent away in a year or two."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and continued with a glint in his eyes: "In a word, only when we have strong enough power can we play whatever we want."
"Because we are the ones who make the rules, no matter how we play, we are the final winners."
"Biao'er, you have to remember that the power in your hands is the most important thing. The teachings of saints and the praises of officials are all bullshit. If you have a knife and a gun, they will naturally surrender to you and praise you. If you don't have one in your hand,
If you kill someone with a knife, even if you are an emperor, someone will chop off your head!"
