"Haha! Your Highness the Crown Prince, our sect has existed in the world for hundreds of years, and nothing has ever happened against the sect in the past dynasties. Why do we become sinners when we come to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
One person said coldly.
"Martial arts sects all do chivalrous things. Moreover, there were many corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty. Innocent people were harmed. Without us, who would provide justice for them?"
Another person said.
"Your Highness, we want you to give us an explanation. In fact, we also want you to give an explanation to everyone in the world!"
The martial arts people established a high image of themselves as serving the country and the people, forcing Lin Fan to apologize to them and withdraw the previously issued decree.
Lin Fan, however, kept sneering. In his eyes, these martial arts people were no different from fools. What they said was just to deceive the common people who had little knowledge.
"Haha! When rebellions broke out in various places in the Ming Dynasty, and when the slave-building riots were taking place, if you martial arts people took the initiative to stand up and help the Ming Dynasty court to save the defeat, whatever you say today, I can agree to it!"
"But at that time, you were all cowering away. You didn't take action when the country was in trouble, but now you are talking so righteously, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"The martial arts sect has been an unstable force throughout the ages. Your disciples have indeed done some things to help the people, but they have done more to harm them!"
"Moreover, there are countless sects that collude with the government and oppress the people. Is it wrong for me to not allow sects without the permission of the imperial court to exist?"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
The martial arts people present were stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Haha! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right. Indeed, sects without the permission of the imperial court should not be allowed to exist!"
kindness?
Someone looked at the man in confusion and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?
You actually said that the prince was right!"
"Don't you understand what His Highness the Crown Prince means?
Those without permission will naturally be banned, but we are all fighting in a sect, so if His Highness the Crown Prince gives permission, won’t it be able to exist?”
One person said in a deep voice.
"Well! Haha! Your Highness, that's what you meant. If you had made it clear to us earlier, would something like this still happen?"
"Haha! Your Highness, you are so considerate. The leaders of those small sects have mediocre martial arts skills, but they dare to accept disciples. They are simply bastards!"
"In that case, please give us a sign certified by the imperial court so that we can go back."
Everyone said with a smile.
Lin Fan looked at them as if they were fools. The brain circuits of these people are really strange. If you don't let others establish a sect, you can do it?
What are you thinking!
"I think you have misunderstood. The martial arts sects that came before have been certified by this prince. From now on, they are the legal sects of the Ming Dynasty!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"What! All those people have been certified! Haha, I asked them why they went back obediently. It turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince compromised!"
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has compromised with those sects, he must also compromise with us. Otherwise, he will not be able to explain to us!"
Everyone said one after another.
"Should I give you an explanation?
Is there nothing wrong with you?
Those sects have all accepted the imperial court’s adaptation and become colleges under the Ministry of Education!”
"From now on, they will not only be able to get students provided by the imperial court, but also receive financial support from the imperial court. Soon, they will develop into a large college."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Well! With financial support from the imperial court, did His Highness the Crown Prince give them money?"
One person asked in shock.
"It's natural. The financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty is very considerable now. If you keep this money, you should keep it. Why not give it to those colleges and let them train some talents for our Ming Dynasty."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"This! Your Highness, since you are cultivating talents for the Ming Dynasty, this money must be given to us! We, the sects, can cultivate talents for the Ming Dynasty!"
One person said excitedly.
"Your Highness, I have a dream, which is to one day develop into a large sect and train 100,000 talents for the Ming Dynasty!"
"Haha! That's right, we all want to cultivate talents for the Ming Dynasty!"
The heads of the martial arts sects have gone crazy.
When they heard the money was given, their eyes turned red.
Lin Fan said solemnly: "There is no problem in giving you money, but once it accepts the adaptation, the martial arts sect will no longer be a sect, but an academy of the Ming Dynasty!"
"In other words, the college is the property of the imperial court. You leaders can become the first deans, but the subsequent deans will have to accept their fate from the imperial court!"
"Of course, if there are good talents in the college, they can also be promoted to dean, but there is a prerequisite for all of this, that is, the sect will be nationalized."
this……
Hearing what Lin Fan said, the heads of each sect were stunned. Then, they stared at Lin Fan with angry expressions, feeling that they had been fooled!
"Your Highness, you are playing tricks on us!"
"How could they agree to such a rude request!"
"This is nonsense! Doesn't this mean that we are handing over our mountain gate and our ancestral heritage to others?"
…
The heads of each sect said angrily.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Does the hilltop where your sect is located have a land title recognized by the Ming Dynasty?
But was it approved by the Ming Dynasty?"
"Didn't your ancestors just find a random hilltop, establish a sect, and occupy the mountain as king?
What’s the difference between this and those bandits?”
"If your ancestral business is recognized by the imperial court, wouldn't those bandits also make a fuss?"
this!
Everyone present was dumbfounded. What Lin Fan said was true. Now, they were unable to argue.
"Your Highness, if you say that, then we have nothing to talk about today!"
One person said coldly.
"Your Highness, our disciples totaling nearly 20,000 people must definitely let the world do justice to us in this capital city!"
Another person said.
"Haha! You have gathered so many people, and you are suspected of rebellion. The Xuanjia Army has been mobilized, and you have seen the Jin Yiwei outside."
"As long as I give an order, you will be rebels, and your sects will be surrendered. By then, all sects' ancestral properties will belong to the imperial court."
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
"You! Your Highness, if you do this, aren't you afraid of being spurned by the world?"
One person said coldly.
"Why do people in the world spurn me?
As the prince, I protect them and let them live a stable life, they should be grateful to me!"
