Copper lamps were hung all over the dead wood artwork in the courtyard.
When the copper lamps were all hung up, the system's voice sounded in Su Ce's mind again.
You have completed the lighting decoration in the front yard. Reward: Tai Chi Martial Arts
[Note: Your body is weak. Tai Chi can only help you strengthen your body.]
He had naturally heard of the legendary Zhang Sanfeng from the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
As for how long Zhang Sanfeng had lived, it had always been a debate. There were many opinions, but no one knew.
Of course, the origin of Taiji Fist was even more mysterious. Some people said that it could be traced back to the Jin Dynasty, but the most common theory in later generations was that it could be traced back to Zhang Sanfeng.
According to Huang Zongxi's "Wang Zheng Nan Ji Zhi Ming" from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties,"Shaolin is famous for its bravery. However, if the master fights with others, others can also take advantage of it. There is a so-called Internal Martial Arts, which uses stillness to stop the movement. The offender will fall to the ground when he touches it. Therefore, Shaolin is called External Martial Arts, which originated from Zhang Sanfeng of the Song Dynasty..."
Well, this epitaph traced Zhang Sanfeng back to the Song Dynasty.
No matter what, Taiji's main attack was to use softness to overcome hardness, and the weak to defeat the strong.
Unfortunately, Su Ce could only use it to strengthen his body. He could not unleash the full power of Tai Chi because he did not have enough strength.
Su Ce stood up from the rocking chair and put the book aside.
At this moment, the profundity of Taiji had already gone through his mind once.
He got into a horse stance and slowly raised his hands.
Puchi.
Sitting on the roof of the small courtyard made of ivy, Thousand-Household Wei nearly spat out a mouthful of wine.
No way, are you practicing? His body was already in this state, yet he could still practice martial arts? Moreover, your hands are so soft. You haven't even punched yet and you're already dead!
Wei Hongying's ancestral home was Luoyang, Henan Province. Her father was Wei Wenli's uncle, who had inherited the Royal Guards of Luoyang.
Since young, she and Wei Wenli had studied at Mount Song's Shaolin Temple. Wei Hongying was extremely talented in martial arts, far surpassing her cousin, Wei Wenli.
When the North Town Fu Division recruited the Jinyiwei, she was promoted by Mou Bin due to her superb martial arts skills.
She joined the Brocade Guard at the age of thirteen. It had been five years since she joined. In these five years, she had secretly completed many hunting missions for the Brocade Guard without a single failure.
She calmly looked at the somewhat 'stupid' youth in the small courtyard.
He really couldn't figure it out. His body was already like this. Could he practice martial arts?
And your martial arts are so weak!
Wei Hongying stared at the young man practicing martial arts in the small courtyard, but gradually, her expression began to change.
As the young man's Tai Chi moves were executed, her heart was gradually shaken.
Although it was slow…it was strong!
He seemed to have muttered something about 'using softness to overcome hardness, and using weakness to defeat the strong'…
Wei Hongying closed her eyes and memorized the Tai Chi moves that the young man had just performed. Then, she began to simulate them in her mind.
After the whole set of simulations was completed in her mind, she was actually drenched in sweat. She could not hide the shock under her eyes!
It was hard for her to imagine how such a gentle and slow move could erupt with such shocking power!
It was a pity that his body couldn't cultivate Internal Martial Arts, but that didn't stop Wei Hongying from feeling shocked.
But how did he know martial arts? Who exactly is Commander Mou asking me to protect?
It was late at night.
Su Ce placed a cup of tea on the table in the small courtyard and gulped it down. Then, he went to wash up and went to sleep. His lifestyle had always been very good. It was his habit to go to bed early and get up early.
Su Ce felt much better after the smooth Tai Chi moves.
"Idiot!"
"Can a cup that has been drunk be placed on the table in the courtyard? If someone else wanted to harm you, they could just poison your cup.”
Wei Hongying stretched her back and landed on the ground. She avoided all the traps and put away the cup on the stone table in the kitchen. Then, she jumped out of the courtyard and looked around again. She only left after making sure that there was no danger.
……
The next morning.
An explosive piece of news was spread to the inner cabinet, shocking the Third Pavilion Elder who had just arrived at the inner cabinet's duty hut and hadn't had time to rest. He broke out in cold sweat.
Chief Assistant Liu Jian didn't even have time to drink his morning tea before he said anxiously,"Go, go inform the Imperial Censorate of the six departments of the cabinet, and then inform the emperor. Tell the emperor that the Xiangshan water stockade in the southeast has been defeated, and the cabinet and various departments are requesting an audience.”
"Here!"
Liu Jian sat on the armchair and looked at Li Dongyang and Xie Qian in horror.
The two of them looked extremely solemn.
"How could this be? We clearly had a foolproof plan, so how could the southeast still suffer a defeat?”
Liu Jian muttered.
Li Dongyang looked worried and said,""It doesn't matter if Wei Wenli lost, but before he lost, he had at least won a battle. Now that he lost his first battle against the Japanese, although it wasn't a crushing defeat, it's enough for others to attack him.”
Wei Wenli was recommended by the Crown Prince. After this defeat, the civil officials representing the Southeast might regain power.
At that time, all the previous efforts to open the shipping company would be wasted. The shipping company that had been opened with great difficulty would be closed before it could even test the benefits of overseas...
This was the biggest blow to the cabinet!
Xie Qian said," There's no time to analyze it. Let's go to the palace first. The Ministry of War must have received the news long ago."”
The Third Pavilion Elder nodded.
Liu Jian seemed to have thought of something and said,"No!" Send someone to the Eastern Palace!"
This matter was orchestrated by the crown prince. The crown prince had to know about today's matter and participate in it. Otherwise, there would really be no way to salvage it.
The two assistants looked deeply at Liu Jian, thinking that the older the wiser, the more thoughtful Grand Secretary Liu was!
……
Zhu Houzhao was sprawled on the soft bed, drooling everywhere.
"Master, Crown Prince."
Liu Jin urged carefully.
"You're going to die!" Zhu Houzhao said impatiently.”
"Master, Grand Secretary Liu of the cabinet has sent this old servant to inform you that Wei Wenli of the southeast has suffered a defeat. The Emperor is holding a court meeting in the Hall of Martial Valor and is asking if you want to go.”
"No!"
Zhu Houzhao turned around and continued sleeping.
In the next moment.
He suddenly jumped up from the bed and shouted," What did you say?!"
"Wei Wenli was defeated in the Southeast!"
"Impossible!"
Zhu Houzhao's face was flushed red, and he was no longer sleepy.
How was this possible?
Those Japanese slaves in the southeast were obviously vulnerable, so how did they lose?
Great Ming's elite soldiers were so powerful, how could they be defeated by a small Japanese pirate?
Wait a minute!
Zhu Houzhao thought of Su Ce and his warning.
What if the southeast was defeated?
Su Ce's voice echoed in Zhu Houzhao's mind, causing him to shiver.
Brother Ce had predicted it again!
According to Brother Ce…Wei Wenli couldn't come down…
"Hurry up! Help BenGong put on clothes, BenGong want to go to WuYing hall, quickly!”
