My subjects are too rebellious!

Qin Chuan suddenly woke up from that thrilling dream. Before his heartbeat could calm down, his consciousness had quickly returned to reality.

Without indulging too much in the afterglow of the dream, Qin Chuan quickly organized his thoughts and decided to use action to calm his inner turmoil.

He stood up, put on his coat, and walked slowly towards the back garden.

In the back garden, birds are singing and flowers are blooming, creating a lively scene.

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, letting the fresh air fill his chest, as if it could wash away the haze left in his dream.

He walked slowly to an open meadow, planted his feet firmly on the ground, and slowly raised his hands, ready to start practicing Tai Chi.

He took a deep breath, then stood still with his feet shoulder-width apart, his hands hanging naturally on both sides of his body, closed his eyes, concentrated, adjusted his breathing, and entered the starting state of Tai Chi.

Infinite style.

As his breathing gradually stabilized, Qin Chuan slowly opened his eyes and his expression became gentle.

He slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other, as if embracing the entire universe. This is the starting posture of Tai Chi, which is like Peng.

Slowly separate your hands while slightly bending your legs, sinking your body, and moving your center of gravity between your legs to form a horse stance. Slowly push your hands forward with your palms facing forward and your fingers slightly bent, as if pushing an invisible force. This is the application of the "Peng" force, which is intended to defend and guide.

Then, Qin Chuan's body began to turn slowly, and his hands drew graceful arcs.

His movements were light and smooth; every turn and every push was filled with inner strength and beauty.

In the "stroking" action, he gently pulled his hands backwards, as if to dissolve the opponent's attack into nothingness.

In the "squeezing" movement, he pushed his hands forward suddenly, showing the fierce side of Tai Chi.

And in the "pressing" movement, he presses down with both hands and sinks his body slightly, firmly rooting his strength in the earth, demonstrating the calm and tenacious qualities of Tai Chi.

As Qin Chuan's Tai Chi skills became more advanced, his movements became slower and slower, but every move and every posture contained profound skills and internal strength.

His breathing and movements were perfectly synchronized. Every breath he inhaled seemed to draw the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into his body, and every breath he exhaled seemed to expel the turbid air from his body, reaching a state of unity of body and mind.

During the practice of Tai Chi, Qin Chuan also skillfully used techniques such as "picking, lying, elbowing, and leaning" to cleverly transfer and transform power through rotation, twisting and folding of the body.

His hands sometimes moved like snakes emerging from their holes, attacking the opponent's vital points quickly and accurately.

Sometimes it is like a roc spreading its wings, showing a grand momentum and power.

Finally, Qin Chuan finished with a complete set of Tai Chi, with his hands slowly hanging down on both sides of his body and his feet together, returning to the starting Wuji state.

After practicing a set of Tai Chi, the breath in his body gradually became stable.

..........

Recently, the capital has been peaceful and harmonious, the people have been living and working in peace and contentment, and the world is at peace.

We can do this even if the second factory has no business.

Wei Zhongxian, the head of the East Factory, decided to take advantage of this peaceful and prosperous time to invite Yu Huatian, the supervisor of the West Factory, to a banquet in order to enhance the friendship between the two factories.

The banquet was held at a well-known restaurant in Beijing, Deyue Tower.

As night fell and the lights came on, Wei Zhongxian, dressed in fine clothes and with a warm smile on his face, personally greeted Yu Huatian at the door of the restaurant.

Yu Huatian was wearing a black robe, with a tall stature and a stern face that revealed a bit of unruliness. He walked slowly over and smiled at Wei Zhongxian.

At the banquet, there was a dazzling array of delicacies, the sound of stringed instruments lingered in the air, and the scene was filled with joy.

Wei Zhongxian and Yu Huatian clinked their glasses and chatted and laughed.

But Yu Huatian was clear-headed. He knew very well that although Wei Zhongxian's invitation was for a banquet on the surface, it actually concealed a mystery. He intended to take the opportunity to spy on the movements and secrets within the Western Factory.

As the supervisor of the Western Factory, Yu Huatian had long been accustomed to the intrigues inside and outside the palace. He was naturally well aware of Wei Zhongxian's little thoughts.

"Mr. Wei, your East Factory has been very idle recently. Is it because the Emperor is too wise that you have nothing to do?"

Yu Huatian chuckled, with a hint of joking in his words, but in fact he was trying to test the current situation of the Eastern Depot.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian raised a playful smile and responded calmly.

"Master Yu, you are wrong. Although the East Factory seems to be idle, it is actually undercurrents. It is always helping the emperor solve problems. The West Factory has been very active recently. I wonder if Master Yu is too busy. Does he need our East Factory to help share some of the burden?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Mr. Wei, you are too polite. We will take care of the affairs of the West Factory. You don't need to worry about it."

"Mr. Wei, if you really have some free time, you might as well think more about how to relieve the emperor's worries instead of arguing with us."

The two of them exchanged sharp words with each other.

Wei Zhongxian raised his glass and chuckled, "Lord Governor Yu, I heard that the West Factory has been very popular recently and has solved many major cases. This is really cause for celebration. However, the capital still has to rely on our East Factory to support it, don't you think?"

Yu Huatian's eyes were slightly cold, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Wei is wrong. The West Factory and the East Factory both serve the emperor, so how can one of them hold up the sky? Mr. Wei usually stays at home and rarely goes out. I wonder if he is too comfortable and has lost his sensitivity to the major events in the court?"

Wei Zhongxian's smile remained, but his tone became a little sharper: "Oh? Lord Yu, are you questioning my ability? Although my East Factory is low-key, every single one of them is a matter of great importance to the safety of the country. On the other hand, the West Factory is more flamboyant. I wonder if they are too eager for quick success and ignore some undercurrents?"

Yu Huatian put down his wine glass and looked directly at Wei Zhongxian: "Mr. Wei, what you said is a thousand miles away. The West Factory has always acted openly and honestly, and every action is for the emperor and for the country of Ming. On the other hand, the East Factory often hides in the dark and does some shameful things, which is why we have to be on guard."

Wei Zhongxian's face darkened slightly, but he immediately recovered: "Haha, Lord Yu is really a quick-witted person. However, my East Factory has its own reasons for doing things, and there is no need to explain to anyone. Lord Yu, if you really have the ability, why not show it to everyone and see if the West Factory is really as omnipotent as the rumors say."

Yu Huatian sneered, "Don't worry, Lord Wei, the West Factory's capabilities will naturally be demonstrated when needed. Lord Wei, don't be outdone and lose face when the time comes."

Wei Zhongxian slammed the table so hard that the wine glass on the table trembled slightly. He glared at Yu Huatian.

The voice was deep: "Yu Huatian, if you really have the guts, don't talk nonsense here! Let's go outside the city and have a real fight!"

Yu Huatian sneered, stood up, his sleeves fluttering, and said in a cold voice: "Wei Zhongxian, I have been waiting for you to say this for a long time. Outside the city, I want to see whether your East Factory's methods are really as powerful as you said!"
