20: The Great Zhou Ban on Martial Arts, Wu Zhongxian, don't let me down
"Wu Zhongxian, you are really smart."
"I thought you would find out about this three days later..."
Emperor Zhou Ren murmured, looking very satisfied.
She was indeed very satisfied!
Finally, there is a minister who can keep up with his footsteps.
It even exceeded her expectations.
Under the arrangement of Emperor Ren of Zhou.
It will take Wu Zhongxian three more days to understand the reason and purpose of his imprisonment.
Unexpectedly, it only took him two days to understand the reason.
And Wu Zhongxian has basically mastered the evidence of all the prisoners.
"Father, no wonder with your character, you would turn a blind eye to what he did. He is truly a peerless sword."
Emperor Zhou Ren sighed.
She couldn't bear to lose this sword now.
Emperor Zhou Ren knew that Wu Zhongxian was greedy for money and martial arts secrets, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
So just be greedy for a little thing, it doesn't hurt anything.
Emperor Zhou Ren also knew about Wu Zhongxian's visit to the East Palace that night.
Emperor Zhou Ren was angry about this at first!
But when he heard that Wu Zhongxian just took a handkerchief and left the East Palace, Emperor Zhou Ren was confused.
No matter how smart he is, he can't guess what happened in the queen's palace.
After all, the informants arranged by Emperor Zhou Ren could only follow the approximate route. If they were following very closely, Wu Zhongxian would have discovered it long ago!
Don't forget, Wu Zhongxian is a third-level master.
Fortunately, Wu Zhongxian did not stay in the East Palace for too long, otherwise Emperor Zhou Ren would have discovered the clues.
"My plan has just begun."
"Wu Zhongxian, don't let me down."
Emperor Zhou Ren murmured.
She now regards Wu Zhongxian as her true confidant.
I just don’t know if Emperor Zhou Ren now knows that Wu Zhongxian is not a real eunuch and has also defiled the queen.
Will she be willing to punish Wu Zhongxian for this peerless sword?
Will you regret it?
Maybe not.
After all, Emperor Zhou Ren’s goal was to achieve great things!
Even the queen is just a tool.
After thinking for a long time.
"Go to the East Palace."
Emperor Ren of Zhou spoke up, and the eunuch immediately took the order.
Emperor Zhou Ren went to the East Palace not for the queen, but for Marquis Lu.
Because Marquis Lu is in the East Palace at the moment,
At the same time.
Other princes and ministers were also discussing important matters at home.
Marquis Lu enters the capital, and there will be turmoil in the court.
The layout of the court is about to change.
After all, Marquis Lu brought more than just himself.
And the 300,000 armored troops.
That was the Lu family's armored army comparable to an army of 600,000!
The armored army can basically fight one against two! It has a certain reputation in the mainland of China!
………
Boom, boom, boom!
"Are the people inside still alive?"
In the prison.
Wu Zhongxian is knocking on the stone door.
The supervisor hid far away and did not dare to come over.
It was clear that there were prisoners inside, but he, the superintendent responsible for guarding the prison, did not dare to approach.
This proves more and more that there is something wrong behind this stone gate.
"Eunuch Wu! You have to be careful! The prisoners here are very dangerous!"
The Superintendent hesitated for a while, and then came over quickly to persuade Wu Zhongxian to leave.
But this only made Wu Zhongxian more interested.
He is the most curious!
"What's going on with the prisoners here?"
Returning to his single cell, Wu Zhongxian began to inquire.
The Supervisor looked embarrassed, obviously there were some things he couldn't say.
At this time, he saw Wu Zhongxian touching the Emperor's Sword at his waist.
"｜д????)!!"
The supervisor was startled and quickly explained.
"Eunuch Wu, there is also a cell behind this stone door. It is just a cell leading to the underground! An extremely dangerous prisoner is being held inside! His Majesty the late Emperor personally ordered him to be imprisoned!"
Having said this, the supervisor glanced at the stone gate, his eyes full of fear, and his voice became much softer.
"Eunuch Wu, it is said that this prisoner is related to the ban on military force issued by His Majesty the late emperor twenty-five years ago!"
"The late emperor? A ban on military force?"
Wu Zhongxian raised his eyebrows.
Emperor Wu of Zhou?
Was this prisoner imprisoned under the order of Emperor Wu of Zhou?
Arms ban.
As soon as these three words came out, Wu Zhongxian's memory instantly emerged from the past.
The Great Zhou Dynasty banned martial arts!
This is a decree issued by Emperor Wu of Zhou when he was in his prime.
Forbid the martial arts practitioners in the Zhou Dynasty to practice martial arts, and restore peace to the people of the world!
Martial arts practitioners who have already practiced martial arts are prohibited from using martial arts. Once discovered, they will be sentenced to death!
Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the soldiers who joined the army and the warriors in the establishment, all warriors were required to retire from the world and no longer use martial arts.
Otherwise it is death.
At that time, the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was second only to that of the Great Qin Dynasty.
However, due to the implementation of the ban on martial arts, a large number of warriors disappeared in just ten years, and the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was lost.
Jianghu warriors, in a sense, can be regarded as part of the national strength.
When the country is in trouble, generally warriors with family and country feelings will take action.
Just because Emperor Wu of Zhou issued a ban on martial arts, not only restricting people from practicing martial arts, but also punishing the warriors!
Force warriors to join the army.
This chilled the hearts of the warriors.
In his later years, Emperor Wu of Zhou realized that this decision was wrong and it was too late to reverse it.
And will the emperor admit that he was wrong?
Won't!
Especially a domineering Emperor like Emperor Wu of Zhou would never admit that he was wrong.
This also led to the fact that after the death of Emperor Wu of Zhou, the ban on martial arts still had some effect.
For example, one of the crimes Wu Zhongxian was charged with was using force to violate the prohibition!
This ban is the ban on martial arts!
Of course, in fact, in the later years of Emperor Wu of Zhou, restrictions had been relaxed.
Warriors in martial arts are allowed to practice, and scholars are allowed to study.
It's just because of the bloody storm twenty-five years ago that the warriors have not yet recovered.
Twenty-five years ago, in order to successfully implement the ban on martial arts, the Zhou Dynasty killed a large number of martial artists!
At that time, the whole world was in turmoil!
Everyone who is a warrior is in danger!
It was at that time that young Wu Zhongxian entered the palace and became a eunuch in order to avoid danger.
"Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, while chivalry violates the law with force!"
Wu Zhongxian couldn't help but think of this sentence.
The reason why the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not targeted by Emperor Wu of Zhou was thanks to the Prime Minister, Sima Chengsi!
Originally, Emperor Wu of Zhou issued more than just a ban on martial arts.
There is also a ban on Confucianism!
The general meaning is that ordinary people cannot read casually!
Only scholars recognized by the government can study.
And you can only read books issued by the government, not banned books!
Otherwise it is also a capital crime!!
But it is said that Prime Minister Sima Chengsi knelt in front of the Martial Palace for three days and three nights.
He sacrificed his own life to protect the right to study for Dazhou scholars.
So there was only the Great Zhou Dynasty prohibition on military force.
There is no ban on Confucianism.
Of course, scholars have also been affected to some extent, but the impact is not significant.
It was Sima Chengsi's action of risking his life for scholars that made him regarded as a saint by scholars all over the world!
Not only the scholars of the Zhou Dynasty respected Sima Chengsi.
Scholars from other dynasties also admired the prime minister who defended Confucianism and Taoism with his life and saved scholars.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Zhou Dynasty is still standing despite the decline in national power, and it has an inseparable relationship with Prime Minister Sima Chengsi!
Sima Chengsi's one sentence can command all the scholars in the world!
It was his powerful appeal that made Emperor Zhou Ren fearful of him.
Because Sima Chengsi has threatened the imperial power.
It is impossible for any emperor to allow his ministers to have greater fame and power than the emperor.
