Cultivation of the Empress of Comprehensive Martial Arts

His personal affairs are small, if his family finds out that he has reneged on debts in front of the royal family, his originally low status is likely to decline again.

"You... Huh, let's go." Suffering from being dumb, Zhong Yi didn't stop any longer.Instead, he took his younger brother No. [-] and left here directly.

As the crowd dispersed, the farce finally came to an end.At Wu Zhao's request, Xue Qianye brought him to her bedroom.Although it is better to go to the piano room, it seems that no matter what I say, I don't seem to use it.

In the quiet room, Wu Zhao dismissed the maid and the master who protected him, and stayed alone with Xue Qianye.Wu Zhao strolled in the room, finally sat on Xue Qianye's bed, and spoke.

"It's an unexpectedly clean room, bro."

"Otherwise, what do you think will happen? What a mess?" After hearing Wu Zhao's elder brother's address, Xue Qianye felt relieved and sat down at the desk.He pulled out his chair and turned to look at Wu Zhao.

Otherwise, I was hesitant to call her Your Highness the Princess just now.But thinking about it carefully, maybe she just discovered this, and then she took the initiative to speak.

"No, it's scattered."

"It's not the same. Thank you for what happened just now, Zhao'er. If you didn't appear suddenly, I don't know how it would have ended."

"I don't believe what my brother said. If it was a small matter like that just now, if it was my brother, it would not be surprising that there are dozens of ways to solve it. Zhao'er is troublesome. I didn't call my brother my brother in front of everyone just now. My brother won't Get angry with Zhao'er." Wu Zhao asked tentatively with a smile.

"How is it possible. I think Zhao'er is very smart. If the situation just now called me brother, I think I should think about how to retreat."

Others don't know the relationship between them yet, if they act too intimately, it will be quite troublesome at that time.Judging from the fact that there is no news about the fake princess in the palace, that is to say, the fake princess has been concealed, and there is no need to ask about the fate of the fake princess.

Naturally, the past between himself and Wu Zhao is also a history that cannot be made public.

"So, my brother obviously has a token but hasn't come to the palace to see me for a month, is it because of retreat?"

"This... If I say that I am worried about you, will you believe me?" Xue Qianye thought for a while, then said carefully.

Although the essential reason was that he was obsessed with studying this month and couldn't extricate himself, it was obviously impossible to say that he forgot to go to Jingwu Pavilion.

"I believe it. As long as it's my brother's words, I believe it. So, my brother is worried that Zhao'er will turn his face and deny anyone after entering the palace. I didn't expect Zhao'er to be such a person in my brother's heart. As soon as Zhao'er got permission to go out, he would go out." Come to see my brother. The result is like this..."

Seeing the heartbroken expression on the girl's face, Xue Qianye felt that she had been tricked again.However, there are some routines in life that should be stepped on, just like now.

"Hey, hey! Don't over-interpret my meaning there. Well, well, it's my fault. This is for you, as a gift for not going to see you this time." After thinking about it, Xue Qianye looked at something I just got.

This toy is said to be very expensive, and it is currently the most valuable thing on my body. In theory, it should be able to express my heart.but……

"I don't want this kind of thing, who knows how he used it before." Wu Zhao directly refused after only a moment.

"..."

For a moment, Xue Qianye suspected that she had been cheated.In fact, this thing is not that valuable, and it seems a bit unworthy to get it by myself.Or is Wu Zhao's family too rich to care about planting things?

Seeing Xue Qianye's expression of doubting her life, Wu Zhao's sadness turned into laughter in an instant.

"Hehe, I really doubt it. The way my brother counted money one copper coin at a time, now he has taken ten thousand gold in his eyes. If brother sincerely apologizes, then give me a copybook written by brother himself."

"My copybook?"

"Well, because my elder brother is my calligraphy teacher, it's okay if I can't bring out some real ones."

Hearing this, Xue Qianye came to the bookshelf and took out a note of rhythm that she had written in this section.He handed it to Wu Zhao.

"If so, this is for you. This is the reading experience I wrote when I was practicing calligraphy."

"As a gift in return, this is a gift for my brother."

As if it had been prepared long ago, Wu Zhao at this time also took out a book of exercises called "Looking at the Sky in the Sea of ​​Clouds" and handed it to Xue Qianye.

"Give it to me! Here it is!"

"Brother, don't you want to like to read the exercises of various families? This is a piece of martial arts that I secretly copied from the Jingwu Pavilion. I can't see it at the level of the token in my brother's hand. After reading it, can you pass it on to the outside world, or let the people Father will definitely blame me if he finds out."

"Yeah, got it. How is Zhao'er doing these days?" Xue Qianye put away the exercise book and changed the subject with concern.

"It's okay, it's just that my father was worried about my safety and kept me in the palace for a month. I can't go out until now. By the way, brother, although I must have guessed it with my brother's wisdom, but I still want to say. Yuntang There has never been a fake princess before, only Princess Zhaoyi met an assassin from the Shadow Tower."

"Since I haven't heard about the fake princess, I've guessed it will be like this. It's about the face of the royal family, and I will pay attention. However, even if I go to tell you now, I took you all the way to escape from Shadow Tower Three No one would believe the pursuit of a grandmaster."

I want to tell other people that a prefecture-level warrior like myself escaped from the pursuit of the three masters, and others will only think that I am a lunatic.It doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is what people are willing to believe.

As for the royal family, the replacement of the princess is tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face. Naturally, the emperor cannot make it public.Those related personnel will only be dealt with secretly.The princess is real from the beginning, not fake.This is the truth in the eyes of the emperor, and others cannot believe it or say it.

"I believe it, and my brother has already killed a grandmaster. Remember before..."

In the calm words, the communication between them seems to have returned to the beginning again.It was a happy time. Although I was hunted down, I didn't want to think so much like now.As a royal family, there are some things that Wu Zhao can't decide by himself.Even if she hadn't reached the marriageable age of 15, she might have more troubles.

Not only that, but their seven inherited children are also fighting among themselves.Because she is still young and the threat is very small, and her skills and influence are not good enough, she is not seen by other children.But with this replacement incident, Wu Zhao felt that she was gradually involved in this storm.

Chapter 50

As for the Shadow Building, this organization suffered a devastating blow in the Shendu stronghold. After the death of a hall master, the entire Shadow Building in Yuntang has entered a state of silence, and has not even accepted work for a month.There were even rumors that they had temporarily withdrawn from Yuntang.

Soon, the topic gradually shifted and finally came to what happened just now, the family and the sect.

"Those people have always troubled the royal family, and they will still be like this in the future. It would be great if there is a way to solve all of them." Wu Zhao sighed, a little upset.

She was even more annoyed when she thought that she might be used as a chess piece by her father to marry one of the seven surnames, or marry someone she didn't like like her older sister.Now she can't wait to kill those guys with a single knife. If they are not behind this incident, she will never believe it.

But the secret struggle cannot be put on the table, and she has no evidence.Even the event itself no longer exists.

"If you want to solve it, you have to uproot it. Suppressing one or several families will only be counterproductive. In fact, there is no way to solve the problem. Just think about the way the family survives and start from the root." Xue Qianye was calm in the casual words replied.

Thinking about it carefully, the power of the powerful in the previous life did not drop to the lowest level until the Song Dynasty. The fundamental reason was the promotion of knowledge and the development of technology.However, these literati later developed into another kind of force—students, of course, this is a later story.If we can take precautions during the formation process, the situation will be much better than Yuntang in front of us.

"Listen to my brother, can my brother have a solution?"

"It's actually not difficult."

"I want to hear it, I want to hear it. I want to hear it."

"Okay! The survival of an aristocratic family is not just an official position in the court, but more importantly, the monopoly of knowledge. In this era where a book is a tael of silver, most people are not qualified to learn, even if they are gifted. If people want to learn, they can only turn to the private schools run by the aristocratic family in the end, but doing so is tantamount to adding the imprint of the aristocratic family, and it will also be the same after entering the court. Not to mention that the current imperial examination system is only conducted among scholars and officials, which is tantamount to strengthening That's why the royal family has a headache. Because the family needs to govern the country, they can't kill them all. But on the other hand, as long as they find an alternative method, they can cut off their existence."

In any world, it is impossible for an illiterate to grow very high.Even if there are one or two wizards occasionally, it is impossible to grow a lot.Appreciate a teacher to learn martial arts, you don't even know a word and you still learn a ghost.

In the previous life, even Chen Sheng and Wu Guang knew how to write 'Da Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng' to fool people.If you are an illiterate person who doesn't know ligatures, you really can't do it.In this era, if you want to study, you may be wooed by the aristocratic family, and the same is true for entering the dynasty.So if you want to break the situation, you can only start from these two aspects.

"But what exactly should I do?"

"Two-step chess. Establish public schools and educate all people. Promote imperial examinations and hold palace examinations so that the emperor can personally contact candidates, so that candidates can become disciples of the emperor, and at the same time let all people in the world participate in it. Use the rise of poor families to dilute or even eliminate the immediate Family."

"Using the poor family to suppress the nobles..., but there are very few talented people among the poor families. Even if there are geniuses occasionally, they will shine for a moment. How can they have enough ability to suppress the current family including the seven surnames?" Wu Zhao said. There are many questions about this.

Her gaze was only in front of her eyes, but she didn't see the potential of the poor family representative.

"Zhao'er, you understand that the number of civilians in this world far exceeds that of the family. It is not that there is no jade among them, and most of them also hate the people of the family. What they lack is an opportunity. Even if a hundred thousand ordinary people produce a master, it is better than a thousand ordinary people." The number of grandmasters in a family is much greater. If the royal family can take their heart and use it for themselves, this new force is enough to shake the foundation of the family. If it is determined to promote it, it will be another world in ten years." Xue Qianye Calmly described his countermeasures.

This is not a short-term benefit, but a national policy.It will take at least five years for such a national policy, and it cannot be completed immediately.If you want to complete it immediately, there is actually the best way, a [Heavenly Judgment] will appear and kill all the seven surnames.That's the fastest.

But the problem is still not completely resolved, and other aristocratic families will take the place of the seven surnames and become the second seven surnames.Treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Two problems. There are still two problems with my brother's method. First, books are so expensive now that even if you want to start a business school, you can't spread it to the world. It requires a huge wealth, no, even this country can't afford it. Second. , if public schools are promoted, if the aristocratic family gets involved, the power of the aristocratic family will be further improved." Wu Zhao was very smart to see two serious problems.

If the two problems are not resolved, it will not be implemented at all.

"Two questions are actually one question." Xue Qianye raised two fingers at the same time, but then withdrew her middle finger.

"one question?"

"Let's talk about the money needed for office work first. It is only very expensive at present. But what if there is a way to greatly reduce the price of a book? Let a book of one tael of silver become a book of ten coins, and promote the world. Difficult. Let’s talk about the second question, the promotion of public schools. Zhao’er, have you forgotten where we are now?”

"Confucianism! What does brother mean?"

"Zhao'er, tell me the truth, has your royal family ever wooed Xuehai and Momen?" At this point, Xue Qianye asked a very secret question.

In fact, the answer to this question has been speculated by myself, but Wu Zhao needs to verify it.And the facts are true.

"...Yes! But neither the former king nor father could offer the conditions they wanted, so they had no choice but to give up."

The headquarters of Xuehai and Momen are located in Shendu. Apart from the fact that this is the center of the empire, there may not be a reason why the royal family invited them.Otherwise they could have picked a better place.

"I guess so. Now the seats in Chaozhong are almost full. Faced with this kind of problem, it is impossible for the aristocratic family to let the two outsiders, the Confucianism and the Momen, rob them of their delicacies. So you can't make a condition. Then change it Thoughts." After verifying her own thoughts, Xue Qianye withdrew her hand and continued smiling.

"Another way of thinking?"

"Although Confucianism and Mohism are sects, their philosophy is to promote their own theories in the world. Entering the court is only one of the means, but it is not their goal. In other words, if there is another way of thinking Confucianism and Confucianism to promote the world?"

Enter the court as a high official, and use this as an example to attract the attention of others.In this way, other people will subconsciously have an impression when they see this high official, that is, I can get the same opportunity to study Confucianism, and even become the same person as him.

The so-called celebrity effect is roughly the same.

But in fact, for Confucianism and Mohism, this is just a means to promote their theories. Their real purpose is to spread their theories to the world.In this era of states, it is obviously the simplest and most effective to use the power of a state to promote one's own doctrine.

So entering the court has never been their goal, but a means.Of course, it is not ruled out that some of them just like to serve as officials in the court.

"Brother means..."

"That's right! Public school is the best way. Let Confucianism and Mohism be promoted together to prevent the dominance of one family and ensure a good level of competition, so that both sides will not be corrupted. Moreover, in terms of book technology Innovation also needs the help of Momen, and Momen's influence and number of people are not as good as Confucianism for the time being. If this plan is launched, in a sense, it will be a win-win situation for the three families."

Chapter 51

The royal family takes the lead in handling the affairs of the court, and Confucianism and Mohism provide technology and power.As a result of subsequent developments, the royal family withdrew power from the aristocratic families, and Confucianism and Mohism gained a platform for the dissemination of scholarship.The three parties can be said to get what they need.

As for whether Confucianism and Mohism will become big in the future, that is a question of the imperial power of later generations.But compared to the threat from the sect, the threat from the aristocratic family in front of him is obviously greater.

"Confucianism and Mohism can take the opportunity to promote their own theories. The royal family can secretly disintegrate the family, and even get the help of the two." Wu Zhao's eyes lit up, and he said what he thought of.

Originally, she was only complaining a little bit, and she didn't expect to get an answer from Xue Qianye. She wanted Xue Qianye to comfort her more.But now, things seem to be resolved.This alone can be called the policy of Jingguo.

"Ah."

"What about the key technology?"

"It would be enough to ask the Mohist school to build a few more printing machines. Speaking of this, I am rather surprised. It is said that the Mohist school is the best in mechanism techniques, and even black technology such as mechanism birds and mechanism armor can be made. How can they even print There is no machine." Xue Qianye was a little strange when it came to this.

Theoretically speaking, the black technology of the Mohists already has some sci-fi implications, but it can't even do the most basic printing machine, or even movable type printing.For such a strange present, I can only think that they have selected the wrong skill points, and they have paid too much attention to martial arts but have not considered civilian issues.

"What is a printing press?" Wu Zhao was a little confused.

In this world, if you want to print a book, in addition to paper, you use an engraved printing plate.However, the manpower and material resources required for engraving are obviously not at the same level as that of printing presses.I even suspect that the reason why the book is so expensive is the shadow of the family's manipulation behind it.

"It's very complicated to explain in detail. Simply put, it is the mechanism technique used to print books. Since it is a mechanism, it does not require much manpower, and it can print a large number of books, thereby reducing the price of books."

Xue Qianye just said the words that she was used to, but she didn't know how much influence these words had on the people of this era.

"Hey, I didn't expect that not only Confucianism, but my brother is also proficient in Mohism." Although Wu Zhao didn't understand, she subconsciously felt that Xue Qianye could do it.

"I said that I am actually proficient in the art of war, law, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and even the classics of doctors, do you believe it?"

"Believe it! Even if my brother says that he can master the knowledge of a hundred schools of thought, Zhao'er will believe it."

"Fake. Speaking, you believe it too quickly. Although I have read all these books, I have only dabbled a little, and I am not proficient."

To be honest, the books I read can indeed be said to be a mess, with everything in it.But the result of this kind of chaos is that there are too many but not specific. In fact, if there is no plug-in of Tianshu, ordinary people will feel headache just after reading it, let alone understand it.

"A little dabble. Well, I'll just take it that way."

"Oh. So, you still don't believe it."

"Believe it! It's just, brother, although modesty is a virtue, you should learn to trust your own ability occasionally. Otherwise, you will be judged as young."

"Whenever I become a grandmaster, I will try to be domineering. As for now, I want to study with peace of mind. So, Zhaoer, if you want to tell your father what I just said, just say that you thought of it yourself .”

In his current situation, to let go of his arrogance is courting death.

"Brother, do you know that this is a great contribution, if the father knows the talent of the elder brother. Given time, he will be the prime minister of Yuntang."

"Let's not talk about how long this time is, I think before I grow up, those big families want to chop me up, the culprit of such a bad move, and feed them to the dogs while in front of me. Ask me if I want some."

That's right!Their own idea, if carried out, will undoubtedly make them hate it to the extreme.Although they wouldn't be able to stop the development of things if they killed themselves at that time, they probably didn't mind arresting themselves to vent their anger, or using them to sacrifice the flag when rebelling.

"Understood. I wanted to chat with my brother for a while, but now I'm going back. By the way, all these are given to me together." Wu Zhao turned his eyes for a while, jumped out of bed and came to the side of the bookshelf.She took all the books directly.

"Take it all. Remember to bring a gift next time."

Anyway, it's not something important, it's all written by myself.Compared to those things, what I am interested in now is the exercise book I just got.

"understood."

After Wu Zhao left, Xue Qianye continued to stay in her room and concentrate on studying after finishing her basic studies.Although I have heard the words that learning makes people happy, and being addicted to learning can't extricate themselves, it is now that I really understand it.

Time passed slowly, this exercise book was not too long, but Xue Qianye read it very seriously.It was almost dusk when I noticed it.After Xue Qianye was sure that she had completely memorized the contents of the book, she put the entire book aside and burned it on the stove.

Xue Qianye didn't close the stove until even the ashes had stirred the dust.

At this time, Xue Qianye was sitting on her bed, her consciousness once again entered the heavenly book, and a set of exercises appeared on this booklet again.And its name is...

【Reincarnation Tribulation】

One of the three formulas of the Huang Shi Jing Tian Bao Dian, it is also the martial arts code learned by King Bei Jing, and its characteristic is that it can use strength to fight.It has the title of 'invincible in group battles, single-handedly useless'.Of course it is said so, but this is only to say that this round of reincarnation is more suitable for group battles, rather than one-on-one.

In Huang Shi Jing Tian Treasure, Void Extinguisher is good at one-on-one, Samsara Jie is good at using strength to not be afraid of group battles, and Xingchen Bian has the ability to burst out with a little bit of skill, so that learners have the ability to leapfrog challenges.

In the original plot, only Taizu Miaojiang and Canglang combined the three tactics together.Everyone else can only do one trick.This is not because other people's talents are too poor, but because there is a tricky place in this martial arts, that is, mutual generation and mutual restraint.If you practice two martial arts books together, there will be a conflict of true qi, and you will explode and die if you practice it.

Although Shaan Tianque knew how to complete the three martial arts with his outstanding martial arts talent, he had a small problem here.That is……
