In order to welcome Ye Gucheng, King Pingnan's Mansion had indeed made a lot of preparations. At least, they had given Ye Gucheng enough face. After a banquet, the host and guest were very happy. They agreed that Ye Gucheng would teach Zhu Bin the sword art from the next day onwards.
After the banquet, the servants brought Ye Gucheng to rest. Zhu Tan led Zhu Bin to the study and dismissed the servants. The father and son sat opposite each other.
" Bin 'er, if you have anything to ask, just ask." Zhu Tan looked at his confused son and smiled.
"Father, your strength has suddenly increased by so much today. What's going on? "Why do I feel like you're borrowing external force?" Zhu Bin didn't hide anything and directly voiced his doubts.
" Haha…I knew you couldn't help it. Actually, this isn't a big secret. Everyone in the world knows about it. Even if you don't ask, I'll tell you sooner or later," Zhu Tan laughed. He rarely saw his son so confused.
" Father, just say it directly. You're still keeping me in suspense." Zhu Bin pursed his lips and said unhappily.
This time, Zhu Tan seemed to be even happier. To Zhu Tan, this son of his was good in every way. He was smart, filial, steady, diligent, and did not have any of the bad habits of the royal disciples. However, he was too mature, causing him to completely lose the joy of teasing his son.
Zhu Tan stopped laughing when he saw that Zhu Bin's expression was a little ugly. He said indifferently,"Bin 'er, do you know why there are so many martial arts experts in this world, but the imperial court is still above the martial arts world?”
" The imperial court controls the entire country. They can use the army to deal with the people in the martial world and recruit and train many experts…" Zhu Bin said without hesitation."Could it be related to Father's methods today?”
" That's right. Bin 'er, you're indeed smart. You're right. The imperial court controls an endless territory and naturally has countless resources. It can also nurture countless experts. However, you have to know that the top experts can't be nurtured with just resources," Zhu Tan said calmly.
" Father is right. Those who truly stand at the top of the martial arts world cannot be accumulated with a vast amount of cultivation resources. They still need to go through countless trials and battles with countless opponents to survive until the end." Zhu Bin nodded. Zhu Bin, who had cultivated in his previous life, understood this very well.
" Since you know this, then you should also know that those who have experienced countless life and death trials and stand at the peak of martial arts are all people with firm willpower. Moreover, chivalrous martial arts prohibit chaos. These people are generally unwilling to be ordered around by the imperial court. If the imperial court wants to stand above the martial world, it naturally has to have the strength to suppress them," Zhu Tan continued.
"Is this the method Father used today? What kind of power is that?" Zhu Binbo asked impatiently. He had a hunch that this answer touched on the essence of this world.
"That's right. The country stands above the martial world because of the suppression of this kind of power. Otherwise, when facing a true martial arts master, the safety of an emperor would be a problem. The country will soon fall. We call this kind of power the power of the dynasty."
" After the Great Zhou Dynasty fell apart in the Divine Continent, the world was in chaos. All the heroes in the world established their forces. According to the size of their forces, they were divided into vassals, kingdoms, and empires. In the past ten thousand years, no one has unified the Divine Continent and established an emperor dynasty."
"The reason why these heroes established these factions was because they used the power of the dynasty to become the leader of a faction. Even an ordinary person could use the power of the dynasty to deal with martial arts experts."
"Just like father, although I only have the strength of the peak of the Innate Heaven Realm, I am the prince of the Great Ming Dynasty. I can control a portion of the power of the Great Ming Dynasty, and it is enough to contend with ordinary Heaven Realm experts."
" And your Imperial Grandfather established the Great Ming Dynasty with his heaven-sent talent. He was able to mobilize the power of the Great Ming Dynasty and suppress Heaven Realm experts with a flip of his hand. This is the true means of an Emperor. This is also why almost every Emperor's martial cultivation is not high, but no one dares to offend them."
"Bin 'er, you have to remember that you are a descendant of the Great Ming Imperial Family, martial arts isn't everything!”Zhu Tan spoke with fervor and assurance. In the end, he even repeated what he had said this morning. He was very sincere.
At this moment, Zhu Bin's heart was in a mess. What kind of power was the power of the dynasty? An ordinary person could crush a Heaven Realm expert? If he unified the Divine Prefecture, wouldn't he be invincible?
"Father, I will remember it. However, I am also the grandson of the Great Ming Emperor, so why can't I control the power of the Great Ming Empire?”Zhu Bin finally calmed down after a while and asked curiously.
"Not bad, you calmed down so quickly." Zhu Tan stroked his short beard and looked at Zhu Bin with satisfaction."The Great Ming has a rule that no matter if it is the descendants of the Imperial Family or the descendants of meritorious nobles, they are only allowed to use the power of the dynasty after reaching the age of eighteen."
" Furthermore, the power of dynasty is the power of a country. It represents the fate of the country and cannot be used easily. People of different status can control different amounts of dynasty power. Therefore, even if they are bestowed with this power, they cannot always use it against their enemies. Their own martial arts are still the foundation."
Zhu Bin nodded his head. Although he still didn't know much about the power of the dynasty, his martial arts was the foundation of this. Zhu Tan didn't need to remind Zhu Bin that no matter when, the power that was truly in his hands was the real one.
