My Daming New Empire

As for the secrets in the palace, he has no interest in knowing.

The imperial court is a level that Zhu Zhanji can't touch now, and his world is in the imperial palace.

In the imperial palace of this era, it is divided into two major systems. The eunuch system is the twelve eunuchs in the inner palace, plus four divisions and eight bureaus, forming the 24 yamen in the inner palace.

Although there are 24 chief eunuchs in these 24 yamen, the real power is in the hands of the seven chief eunuchs.

These seven chief eunuchs are all around 30 years old, have followed Zhu Di since childhood, and made great contributions in the Jingnan Battle.

Currently the most favored dog is Wang Yan, the dog. He entered the Yan Palace as an errand at the age of eight, won Zhu Di's trust, and was brave and good at fighting.

In the Battle of Baigouhe, he defended desperately on the north bank, thus resisting the attack of the southern army.Then, together with Zhu Rong, they led three thousand elite cavalry to attack Sun Lin who was stationed at Huakou at night, and defeated the southern army, causing the leader of the southern army, Sun Lin, to flee in a hurry.

In addition to Wang Yan, the six eunuchs Wang An, Meng Ji, Ma He, Li Qian, Yun Xiang, and Tian Jiahe were also deeply trusted by Zhu Di, and the interest group formed by them also became the core class to defend the imperial power.

Among them, Zhu Zhanji has the best impression of Ma He, because this one is Zheng He, whom Zhou You also admired very much in his previous life.

Zhou You developed in Southeast Asia in his previous life, and the Chinese in Southeast Asia respect Zheng He more than most emperors.

Zhu Zhanji knew the most about his deeds. At this time, he was able to see a real person, and he felt a passion to witness history in his heart.

This is also the person he values ​​most in the palace, because he will need Zheng He to help him realize many plans in the future.

Zhu Zhanji wanders around, and what he likes most is listening to people tell stories.He understood the experiences of most of the famous people in the palace through this way of telling stories.

Ma He was originally a native of Yunnan, the Hui nationality. When Mu Ying conquered Yunnan, Ma He was purged and sent to the palace at the age of ten, and was later sent to the Yanwang Mansion.

Zheng He grew up beside Zhu Di when he was young, and was taught by Zhu Di himself with Wang Yan and others since he was a child, and was awarded the art of war.

He is smart, strategic, brave and good at fighting. He followed Zhu Di in the north and south, and also showed his military command ability.

During the Battle of Jingnan, he made great achievements many times. Since then, Emperor Zhu Di regarded him as a confidant eunuch and was in charge of the palace supervisor.

At this time, Ma He had not yet changed his name to Zheng He, Zhu Di had just ascended the throne, and was busy cleaning up opponents inside and outside the court, and these eunuchs had not yet been entrusted with important tasks.

At only 32 years old, he still looks like a young man, and he respects Zhu Zhanji, the eldest son.

Zhu Zhanji didn't rush to build a relationship with him. He is only six years old this year, and it's not yet time to develop his own power.If his actions affect his future seven voyages to the West, Zhu Zhanji will not forgive himself.

Besides the eunuchs, another big force in the palace is the maids.However, although the palace lady system is huge, it is not like the eunuch who can penetrate inside and outside, but is confined to the palace, so there is no use for Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the emperor.

After understanding his environment clearly, he also became familiar with people from all walks of life in the palace and received a large number of gifts.

He also hangs a small wooden knife given to him by Zheng He on his waist every day, which means that he likes Zheng He's gift very much, and also expresses his martial arts heart to Zhu Di.

Next, it's time to strengthen your own strength.

No matter how powerful the external power is, it is one's own power if it can be used by oneself, and it is not one's own power if it cannot be used by oneself.

In his previous life, Zhou You was an extreme egoist. What he truly believed in was always his own strength.

What he learned in his previous life was mixed, yoga, muay thai, judo, free fighting, and the army's one-stroke enemy art, and then he also integrated parkour into his martial arts.

Later, he learned Neijiaquan Iron Line Fist from Cai Ahjiu, and also learned the Songxi School Dapengshun Qigong that Cai Ahjiu accidentally acquired.

Because of practicing Dapeng Shun Qigong, Cai Ahjiu's lungs were injured, which troubled him for decades.

As a result, Zhou You was always a little afraid of Dapeng Shun Qigong, he only learned superficially and didn't dare to study it in depth.

But now, Zhu Zhanji decided to start practicing Dapengshun Qigong.

There are two main reasons for this. One is that Dapeng Shun Qigong belongs to the real Daoyin technique, and the other is internal Qi refining technique. Now you don't need to care about your body's weakness.

He has just turned five years old this year, and his bones have not yet grown hard. Of course, he cannot practice muay thai and free combat.

And he has practiced Kundalini yoga for two lifetimes, and he already knows where the limit is.

So in this life, he plans to focus on Dapeng Shun Qigong, supplemented by Kundalini Yoga, and wants to see if these two kinds of Qigong can be integrated together.

By the age of fifteen or sixteen, the body has matured, and it is not too late to practice other skills.

However, if he wants to practice, it is not something he can practice if he wants to.

There are countless eyes staring at him all the time, no matter what he does, there must be a reason.

Therefore, he first pestered Mrs. Zhang to practice martial arts, but Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to make a decision, so she told Zhu Gaochi and Empress Xu, and finally Zhu Di knew about it.

Zhu Gaochi is weak and sick, and has no interest in martial arts. He wants his children to learn Confucianism like him.

But in this matter, he has no right to decide.

When Zhu Di learned that Zhu Zhanji wanted to practice martial arts, he happily hugged him and said, "My grandson Xiao Wu." Then he said to him: "You are still young and your bones haven't grown yet. It's too early to practice martial arts, but you also When you reach the age when you should be able to read, I will find you a good teacher."

Zhu Zhanji retorted: "Grandson heard that Taoists have qi refining techniques, which can improve physical fitness, and grandson wants to learn."

Recently, when he caught people in the palace, he asked them to tell him stories, many of which were fairy tales and war stories, so when he talked about home qi refining, Zhu Di didn't get suspicious.

Zhu Di is a martial artist, and all his kung fu has come from fighting since he was a child. Although he knows that Taoism has qi refining skills, he has never practiced it.

But when you think about it, qi refining is just a method of breathing, unlike foreign kung fu that requires physical training, so although Zhu Zhanji is only five years old, it is not too early to learn it.

And it is said that the sooner one can practice Qi refining, the better, so Zhu Di agreed. "In the future, I will arrange for Ji Gang to invite an expert Taoist to teach you how to practice. However, you must first learn how to read..."

"The grandson has already learned thousands of characters, and he can help the emperor read official documents."

Zhu Di didn't believe it. "You are only six years old, how can you know thousands of words?"

Zhu Zhanji immediately retorted: "The grandson has learned three hundred thousand words, how can he not have thousands of words?"

"Is this true?" Zhu Di didn't ask Zhu Zhanji, but looked at Fu Dianyi who had been following Zhu Zhanji.

Fu Dianyi immediately knelt down and bowed his head and replied: "His Royal Highness is intelligent, and can basically recognize three hundred thousand characters except for a few rare characters. It's just that he hasn't started practicing calligraphy, so he can't write yet."

Even so, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and immediately asked Zhu Zhanji to read the Three-Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, and Thousand-Character Classic.

Zhu Zhanji don't speak Chinese anymore, even English and Spanish can be read and written.But he is only six years old now, so he can't act too monstrously, so he made a few mistakes on purpose.

Zhu Dile laughed loudly: "My grandson is really a child prodigy. I will arrange a teacher for you tomorrow. In the future, you must not only learn to read, but also understand the meaning of the book."

Zhu Zhanji is not opposed to learning. He can write beautiful cursive calligraphy in modern times, but his calligraphy has always been poor.Moreover, many official documents are now written in classical Chinese. For him, a semi-literate man, even if he is given an article, he can only guess the general meaning.

Therefore, learning classical Chinese and practicing calligraphy are skills that must be mastered in this era.

He nodded and said, "How about grandson only studying Confucianism in the morning?"

Zhu Di liked this grandson so much that he didn't think he was afraid of difficulties.Wen Yan asked, "Why do you only study Confucianism in the morning?"

"Because my grandson has to practice martial arts in the morning, and in the afternoon, I have to accompany my grandmother and concubine, and I have to go out to play, so I can't become a nerd."
