When Lu Xiaofeng heard that he was the Earth's Gate Master, he already understood Zhu Houwei's goal.
It was Ximen Chuixue!
"Your Highness, I would like to recommend someone to enter Six Fan School!" he said.”
Zhu Houwei looked at him approvingly and asked,""Who is it?"
"It's my best friend, the owner of Wanmei Villa, Ximen Chuixue!”
"If Manor Lord Ximen is willing, this king is willing to invite you as the Heaven's Gate Sect Master!”
Ximen Chuixue smiled bitterly and shook his head."I'm a mountain village bumpkin, I've let down your highness 'love!”
"This one has been practicing the sword for nearly twenty years, but I didn't know that I had walked into the evil path. If Your Highness can let me leave, this one will be sealed off from the manor and become an idle guest!”
Zhu Houwei raised his eyebrows and did not insist on inviting her.
He nodded slightly." In that case, I won't force you. You can leave on your own later!"”
"Sect Master Lu, Villa Master Ximen is your friend, so please send him away!”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ximen Chuixue with both sadness and joy.
Outside the prison, Zhu Houwei suddenly stopped.
"Oh right, there's one thing I want to congratulate Villa Head Ximen on!”
Ximen Chuixue raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
Zhu Houwei smiled." Your wife gave birth to a daughter last night. Both mother and daughter are safe. Congratulations to Ximen Manor Lord for becoming a father!"”
He left.
Little Zhuozi followed behind him like a shadow.
Ximen Chuixue suddenly stood up, his expression unpredictable.
He seemed to be in disbelief and asked Lu Xiaofeng,""What did King Wei say just now?"
"Congratulations on becoming a father!"
Lu Xiaofeng was also happy for his old friend and said,""Looks like you and I will be courtiers in the same hall in the future!”
Ximen Chuixue looked at his hands with a complicated gaze.
This was a pair of hands that could only hold a sword, but also a pair of hands that could not be idle!
……
When Zhu Houwei walked out of the imperial prison, the sky was already bright!
He instructed Little Zhuozi to wait outside the Heaven Prison.
When Ximen Chuixue came out, he brought him to see his wife, Sun Xiuqing.
Zhu Houwei went to Taihe Palace to attend morning court.
He had never attended morning court.
Because he had never woken up early before.
However, today was different.
Emperor Zheng De had announced the establishment of the Six Fan School in the morning court, which would certainly cause a lot of trouble in the court.
Zhu Houwei had no choice but to go!
When he arrived at Taihe Palace, the morning court session was already halfway through.
He walked into the hall as if there was no one else around, walked straight to the golden chair beside the dragon chair, and sat down.
The censor who was supervising the officials wanted to remonstrate, but he thought about it and didn't say anything.
With the current Emperor's favor for King Wei, they would be asking for a snub if they spoke.
The morning court session continued.
The Minister of War, Wang Qiong, reported," Your Majesty, according to the scouts of the Ministry of War, there seems to be some unusual movements in the territories of the Mongol Empire and the Western Xia Empire. The Western Xia army seems to be moving.”
The ministers discussed animatedly.
The relationship between Great Ming and the surrounding countries was relatively stable.
Now that the Xixia army was about to set off, could it be that they wanted to start another war?
At that time, the border between the two countries would probably be plunged into misery!
Moreover, the Mongolians were eyeing him covetously.
It would definitely not let go of the opportunity to reap the benefits!
Moreover, if the two countries were to join forces, even Great Ming would find it troublesome!
" Send out the spies in the army to gather intelligence. We must find out the movements of the Xixia army!" Emperor Zheng De ordered.”
"Do you have any reports?"
"We have no basis to report!"
Emperor Zheng De swept his gaze across the officials." Last night, Ye Gucheng and his men were having a kung fu competition in Taihe Palace. They were planning to rebel and disregard the might of the Jun Family. From this, it can be seen that the martial artists in the Jianghu have long been lawless.”
"I've decided to set up Six Fan School and let King Wei take charge to supervise the martial arts world!”
The imperial court was immediately filled with discussions.
The Six Fan School only monitored the martial arts world and did not seem to involve the imperial court.
However, none of the officials dared to pat their chests and say that they had never interacted with anyone from the martial arts world.
Once King Wei took control of the Six Fan School, he could use his connections with the people in the martial arts world to control them.
The Six Fan School seemed to monitor the martial arts world, but in fact, it was above all officials.
Ever since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the successive emperors had set up the Eastern and Western Factories, the Jinyiwei, the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, and the Divine Constabulary. All of them were trying to seize the power of the officials.
Now that His Majesty had set up the Six Fan School, the ministers naturally would not agree.
Dressed in a red official robe, Lord Jiao stepped forward and said,"Your Majesty, you must not!"
"The people in the martial arts world are stubborn. If His Majesty opens the Six Fan School to dominate the martial arts world, it will definitely arouse the disgust of the people in the martial arts world and cause unnecessary trouble.”
"Moreover, no matter how strong the martial artists are, they can't compete with my Ming Dynasty army. Your Majesty really doesn't need to make a big fuss!”
The civil and military officials all agreed.
Zhu Houwei sneered." The Lord of White Cloud City, Ye Gucheng, is also a Jianghu man. He colluded with King Nan's Mansion and intended to rebel. I am in charge of Six Fan School to investigate this matter thoroughly."”
"Lord Jiao, you're pushing me left and right. Are you determined to stop me from investigating?”
Cao Zhengchun, the Governor of the East Chamber, received Emperor Zhengde's signal. He stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Jiao used to have a close relationship with King Nan…"
He quickly shut his mouth and smiled." Of course, this is also what I heard. I don't know if it's true or not!"”
Emperor Zheng De hid the smile in his eyes and said coldly,""Jiao Qing, how do you explain what Cao Zhengchun said?”
" Your Majesty, I am loyal to you." Lord Jiao quickly knelt down and said,""This matter is all because some villains want to slander me. Your Majesty, please investigate!”
"Jiao Qing, you're getting on in years. Go to the Imperial Academy and study!" Emperor Zheng De said.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lord Jiao could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
The ministers could also see that Emperor Zheng De was determined to open the Six Fan School.
They didn't dare to provoke him again!
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers said in unison.”
Emperor Zheng De nodded in satisfaction and said,""Cao Zhengchun, announce the decree!"
"Yes, sir!"
When the ministers saw Cao Zhengchun take out the imperial edict that he had prepared beforehand, they finally understood.
His Majesty had already decided to announce this matter in the court today.
Unfortunately, Lord Jiao did not see the situation clearly!
Cao Zhengchun unfurled the imperial edict and said,""King Yu, receive the decree!"
"Long live my emperor!”
" The Emperor has decreed that King Wei will be in charge of Six Fan School and supervise the martial arts world. He has the right to act first and report later. All the officials in the prefecture, state, and civil and military officials must cooperate with Six Fan School to act as they please.”
"Brother Chen, accept the decree!"
Emperor Zheng De nodded and said," Cao Zhengchun, the East Chamber pays attention to the people and things in Jianghu. You will help King Wei build the Six Fan School and provide the manpower needed. As for the material resources, you will directly report to the Ministry of Revenue!"”
"Retreat!"
Cao Zhengchun's face turned bitter. It was obvious that His Majesty wanted to use Six Fan School to weaken the East Chamber's strength!
But he could only agree!
