Chapter 229: Daxing Martial Arts

Stallions are indeed kingly.

Unfortunately, it is not the protagonist Xiao Fan who is the stallion now, but Zhu Yunwen.

The emperor is the emperor. He can just pull a woman in his palace and go to bed without any scruples. The palace maids are happy as if they won the huge lottery prize.

Xiao Fan's eyes were red with envy.

This is a typical ancient man. Compared to Zhu Yunwen's romanticism, Xiao Fan suddenly felt that he was still too conservative.

In terms of power and status, Xiao Fan is of course considered a powerful minister in the court. Naturally, there are many servants in the family. It would be extremely easy to catch a slave at home and carry him to bed to do things. However, Xiao Fan could never do this. He always felt that doing this was too rude. Wouldn’t going to bed without emotion be like a beast?

Of course, he had no intention of this sentence to the beast that was doing business in Wenhua Hall...

The sound of clouds and rain in the hall was endless. The eunuchs outside had called the living sector in the palace. They took the palace list and searched for a long time. They found the name of the palace maid who was favored by Zhu Yunwen, carefully checked her household registration and background, and solemnly recorded the name of the palace maid and the time and place of being favored, so that Zhu Yunwen would be awarded a concubine in the future, or the palace maid would be pregnant with a dragon son.

Xiao Fan stood outside the hall and watched them work quietly, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous and ridiculous.

People were thrusting carts inside and sat on lotus, and in the end they were just so happy that they were extremely happy, and they were fighting a few cold wars all over, and they were just a very simple matter of love between men and women. When they were done by eunuchs and living servants in the palace, the house seemed to have been covered with a mysterious and holy glory, similar to a certain religious ceremony.

So what about the Supreme Nine Five? Is this kind of life interesting? Zhu Yunwen may be young or used to this environment, so he didn't think anything was wrong. Xiao Fan thought a little badly. If he told him his feelings at this moment, when Comrade Xiao Zhu thought of countless eunuchs outside listening to his room calmly, and recorded all the details of his room, such as how many times he exercised in total, how many times he changed his posture in the middle, was the woman very involved, and how many times the emperor's dragon cock shivered in the end...

...Zhu Yunwen may have impotence?

When Xiao Fan thought of this, he laughed out loud.

The eunuchs outside the hall and the living servants looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Fan has a high position and a powerful relative, and is a close friend of the emperor, so they naturally dare not express any dissatisfaction.

The eunuch smiled and asked, "Why did Lord Xiao laugh?"

"Ah, nothing. I am very happy to see that my Ming emperor is so powerful and full of energy. My Ming Dynasty's destiny lasts for thousands of years, and it is all due to the trembling of the emperor. I am very happy that I wish I could shake the flag and cheer for the emperor..."

Everyone: "…………”

If someone else said this, the Han general would have been dragged to the Meridian Gate and killed the stick.

The sound of clouds and rain in the hall was still wave after wave. Xiao Fan looked at the sky. It was almost dusk, and his wife was waiting for him to go home for dinner. When did Zhu Yunwen shudder? Could it be that he was so romantic and happy inside, but I had to stay outside respectfully and wait for him to finish his fun?

Xiao Fan has never been such a proper person.

Lifting up the hem of the official robe, Xiao Fan stepped onto the stone steps in front of Wenhua Hall in a few steps. Under the shocked gaze of eunuchs and living servants, Xiao Fan swung his fist and smashed it hard towards the closed hall door.

Bang bang bang bang!

The eunuchs were shocked and shouted hurriedly: "Stop it! The emperor is inside..."

Xiao Fan ignored them and still smashed the palace door.

Zhu Yunwen inside seemed to have recovered his consciousness and gasped and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you want paper?" Xiao Fan replied sincerely.

Zhu Yunwen said with a little anger: "Who are you?"

A calm voice came from outside the hall: "Lei Feng!"

“…………”

The clouds were rushing and the rain stopped. The eunuchs and several palace maids opened the palace gate and carried the favored palace maid tightly into the harem with an embroidered quilt.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Zhu Yunwen appeared in front of Xiao Fan in disheveled clothes, with a helpless expression.

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm happy to listen to the room outside? If I hadn't finished talking, I'd already slapped my butt and left."

Zhu Yunwen smiled embarrassedly: "...Facts have proved that the medicine given to me by the eunuch slave is quite effective, but the eunuch slave is a little slower. What about that eunuch slave? I want to give him a good reward..."

"You burn him what you want to reward him..."

"What's the meaning?"

"He has been killed by your stick..."

Zhu Yunwen sighed, "I wronged him... It's a pity."

"Yes, God is jealous of talent..."

Zhu Yunwen looked up at him and said, "Where did you just talk about the countermeasures of the vassals?"

"As soon as I talked about reforming the military system, you just hugged the girl and had fun..." Xiao Fan's eyes were very condemning.

Zhu Yunwen laughed embarrassedly: "You continue to say...how to reform the military system?"

Xiao Fan stared at Zhu Yunwen and said seriously: "I still have the same old saying, "To promote military affairs, start military training, build firearms, and build military academy."

Zhu Yunwen hesitated and said, "Xiao Shidiao, I set the year name as Jianwen, in order to sweep away the national policy of military military power in Hongwu, gradually shift my energy from martial arts to civil affairs, and strive to create a glorious era. If I launched a large-scale military service in the early years of Jianwen, is this... going against the original intention of me and the civil and military officials in the court?"

"Your Majesty, the prosperous era of civil rule is based on a strong military foundation. Both are indispensable. Without a strong military foundation as a backing, your majesty's prosperous era is built no matter how brilliant and gorgeous it is, it will eventually be like a tower in the air. If there is a slight external force strike, it will collapse. Your Majesty, don't forget that when you are ambitious to create the prosperous era, your uncle, the Tartars outside the pass, and the Japanese pirates in the southeast are all eyeing you. If you don't have a strong military foundation, how many years can your prosperous era last?"

Zhu Yunwen pondered silently for a while, and finally nodded, "Yes, Xiao Shidu, what you said makes sense. A prosperous era really requires a strong military foundation to last for a long time. It is very necessary to raise troops and deploy military forces at the beginning of Jianwen..."

Xiao Fan smiled. As long as he and Zhu Yunwen reached a consensus on this point, and if they could be implemented firmly, Zhu Di's rebellion would not be defeated.

Zhu Di successfully usurped the throne in history, and there were many lucky things. The court made many decision-making mistakes, and the army was not as strong as Hongwunian. This made Zhu Di gain a big advantage, and luck accounted for a large part of it.

Now history is quietly changing with Xiao Fan's arrival. If Zhu Di rebelled in the future, would he still have such good luck?

With a slight change, history will move towards a completely unknown future. The originally destined ending is full of variables. No one knows which side the balance of victory will eventually tilt.

"Xiao Shidu, have you ever thought that all officials in the court were corrupt Confucian scholars. Although Huang Zicheng was exiled by me to serve as the prefect of Dengzhou, Shandong, the Qingliu power still exists. The current censor Huang Guan, the Minister of Justice Yang Jing, and the Minister of Revenue Zhuo Jing, etc. Since Huang Zicheng left the capital, they have gradually become the leaders in the Qingliu. If I promote martial arts, there will definitely be a lot of resistance in the court..."

"Your Majesty, no matter how great the resistance is, it must be implemented. This is for the sake of my Ming Dynasty's foundation. You cannot believe those pedantic and clear streams. Since ancient times, scholars have misled the country without knowing how many things are. If you encounter a great disaster, the clear streams may be able to maintain great integrity, loyalty and righteousness and sacrifice their lives for the country. However, they have no benefit to Your Majesty's ideals and great causes. They only know how to use death to show their loyalty, but when they are alive, they will only cause harm to the country and court without construction. Such people are stupid and incompetent. Your Majesty's determination must not be shaken by them!"

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded fiercely and said, "Yes! I cannot be influenced too much by them. The promotion of martial arts is related to the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. This is a necessary national policy and must not be shaken..."

Xiao Fan immediately struck and said while the heat was hot: "I am willing to help Your Majesty with one arm. If anyone dares to object, I will help Your Majesty eliminate him!"

Zhu Yunwen glanced at him and said leisurely: "Why do I think you are now framed by a loyal and kind treacherous minister?"

“…………”

"Shidiao Xiao, let me talk about it carefully, how to reform the military system?"

"Your Majesty, the court's army is not strong at present. To be honest, it is because of the long-term peace that many military families have joined the army and have never even been on the battlefield. How can such an army expect them to win a battle? Also, since the year of Hongwu, the Hu Lan Party case involved many generals in the army and were killed by the late emperor one by one, resulting in no one in the court who can take on major responsibilities. Moreover, the middle-level officers in the army, such as Baihu and Qianhu, are also quite different in quality. These disadvantages have led to the combat effectiveness of our army being much worse than the border army. Therefore, what I said about developing military preparations, starting military training, and establishing military academies are countermeasures to the many disadvantages in our army."

"You have another word about fire-making machines... Are fire-making machines that powerful?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty may have never seen the power of firearms. In fact, since the Song Dynasty, firearms have gradually been used in siege and plain combat. At the beginning of our country, our dynasty also built Hongwu cannons, Hongwu muskets, etc. Their strength is that they are long range and powerful, and they are unreasonable to say that. If Your Majesty has free time in the future, I would ask Your Majesty to observe and try out the firearms myself. If Your Majesty sees them with your own eyes, you will naturally believe them."

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will propose these four things you mentioned at a court meeting in a few days. At that time, I will grant you the court standing shift..."

Xiao Fanwei said: "No, I don't understand state affairs and government affairs. Isn't it just a scattered job?"

Zhu Yunwen glared at him and said, "Did I ask you to make up for the numbers? If those ministers of the Qingliu oppose Xingwu, you have to help me stop them. They quarrel when they should, scold when they should, and tantrum when they should, and tantrum when they should, anyway..."

"...You take the blame and I'm going to die, right?"

"Shidou Xiao is indeed smart..."

"Your Majesty is also wise and powerful..."

Zhu Yunwen pondered: "In fact, among the clear streams, the only ones are Huang Guan and Yang Jing. He convinced them that the reform of the military system may be carried out smoothly..."

Xiao Fan rubbed his palms and said viciously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will clean up Huang Guan in obediently!"

Zhu Yunwen said curiously: "How do you deal with him?"

Xiao Fan smiled wickedly and said, "Does Huang Guan have a sister? I went to seduce his sister and then slept with her. From then on, I became Huang Guan's brother-in-law. They are both family members. I don't believe that he can still sing the opposite tune with us..."

Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly became ugly: "…………”

The matter was almost the same, and Xiao Fan suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Your Majesty pretended to be my name to pick up girls in the capital. Who are you picking up?"

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment and said blankly: "...His sister Huang Guan."

Xiao Fan left the palace with a embarrassed look on his face.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen's expression that he was about to eat him, Xiao Fan felt a numbness in his scalp and was really embarrassed to stay in the palace again.

This matter is quite unfair to say. There are so many ladies in the capital, who is not good for Zhu Yunwen to soak? He insists on soaking Huang Guan's sister. When he thinks of Huang Guan's sarcastic and mean face, Xiao Fan was puzzled. When his brother grew up with this kind of character, how could his sister see better? How could Zhu Yunwen fall in love with his sister? It's too heavy, right?

Xiao Fan felt that while assisting Zhu Yunwen in the future, he would also help him establish a correct and healthy aesthetic view. At least he thought that sleeping with a woman who looked exactly like Huang Guan was definitely not something worthy of advocacy.

As soon as Xiao Fan returned to Beijing, the Minister of War Ru Hui, the Hanlin Scholar Xie Jin, the Left Minister of War Qi Tai and other traitors in the court learned the news. When Xiao Fan was still discussing state affairs with Zhu Yunwen in the palace, they had already entered the Xiao Mansion in an official sedan chair, sat in the front hall of the Xiao Mansion and chatted leisurely, waiting for Xiao Fan to come back.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Xiao Fan heard a noise in the front hall.

"...It's a good thing that I'm so smart that I recognize Lord Xiao at a glance, so I didn't cut off the sacrificial flag by Cao Yi. Lord Ru, do you think I'm a lucky person? The situation at that time was not ordinary thrilling..."

"Master Fang...Master Fang, please turn around a little. I am Ru Wei. The one in front of you is Qi Tai..."

"...Ah? Oh! I've seen these two tricks sharply and sharply."

“…………”

Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the noise in the front hall from afar.

Fang Xiaoru's eyes were really bad. I don't know if there is glass in this era. Should I find a way to create a pair of myopia glasses for him? Otherwise, with his eyes, it would be okay to recognize the wrong person. If he goes to the wrong bed and sleeps in the wrong woman, the trouble will be great...

Xiao Fan coughed a few times. When everyone in the front hall heard the sound, they hurriedly strode out and bowed to Xiao Fan one by one.

Xiao Fan smiled and gave a gift, his attitude was neither arrogant nor arrogant, he was peaceful and close, and he felt a sense of enthusiasm.
To be continued...
