"Hahahaha, Han Zhigui, you have guts. I surrender to you today."

Kou Zhun was knocked to the ground by Zhao Ji and fell heavily. After seeing the bloody sword in Han Qi's hand, he laughed heartily, rushed over, hugged one of Zhao Ji's legs, and bit it.

Zhao Ji screamed in great pain and kicked Kou Zhun even harder.

Kou Zhun's head was covered in blood from the kick, but his face was full of smiles, and he said, "Zhao Ji, you bastard, I wish I could eat your flesh and blood, tear your bones apart, and even if I die, I will take you to the underworld."

"This is reasonable. Today, my king Jiefu should die to atone for his sins."

"Zhao Ji, you bastard, you should go with us. If you don't die, the Song Dynasty will be in turmoil."

When Wang Anshi saw Kou Zhun holding Zhao Ji's legs and feet, he let out a long roar with a determined look on his face, and ran wildly, suddenly hitting Zhao Ji's head with his head.

"boom!"

In an instant, blood splattered from Wang An's stone and the stone fell to the ground.

Zhao Ji was also hit so hard that his face turned red. He fell down with his head raised without saying a word.

All this happened in a very short period of time.

Fan Zhongyan, Xiao Qinyan, Gu Qianfan, Imperial City Division, Liufutang and others were all stunned and didn't know what to say for a long time.

Yang Zhao remained calm throughout the whole process, but he just watched the scene quietly, without moving.

After a moment.

Zhao Ji fell to the ground, his life or death unknown. Wang Anshi and Kou Zhun were both old, and after a desperate fight after great sorrow, they were almost half dead. They lay on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, looking up at the sky.

Only Han Qi stood there with sword in hand, staring blankly for a long time.

After a long while, Han Qi smiled bitterly, turned his head and looked at Yang Zhao, and said: "Master Zhao, the court secrets were leaked, which is our fault. The princess has been kind to me for a thousand years, and I have no way to repay her. Only death can atone for one of my hundred sins. After I die, please execute ninety-nine of my descendants."

As he said that, Han Qi picked up his sword and was about to kiss her neck.

Ding!

At this critical moment, a touch of true energy smashed the sword in Han Qi's hand into pieces.

Yang Zhao could see that Han Qi, Kou Zhun, Wang Anshi and the other three were truly filled with guilt and wanted to die.

In fact, these three people allowed the court secrets to be leaked, which can only be regarded as a crime of negligence.

Deep down, these three people really could not have imagined that Zhao Ji's evilness had reached such a mad level.

Perhaps these three people were unwilling to allow Zhao Shirong, a woman, to become emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

But at most he wanted to hold Zhao Shirong back through court struggles, and wait until the Song Dynasty was transformed and became thoroughly strong, and then find a way to return the imperial power to Taizong's descendants.

But there is no doubt that this is betrayal.

Yang Zhao's mind was full of thoughts, and he said coldly: "You three have offended the emperor by making a strong remonstrance, causing the emperor to become furious and faint and die suddenly. This is a serious crime. I will punish you three to govern the country in the prison, and you will never be allowed to step out of the prison for the rest of your lives."

"Your descendants will not be allowed to hold official positions for three generations."

Chapter 311: Harvesting the Strength of Confucian Martial Arts

No matter how bad, vicious, or foolish Emperor Zhao Ji was, he was still the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

After all, the shameful things Zhao Ji had done could not be spoken openly in the court.

Even if he died, Zhao Ji had to die in a relatively decent way.

The end of the sixth year of Showa in the Song Dynasty.

The imperial court issued a notice, because the Northern Liang bandits colluded with the Mongols, Jin, and Liao to invade the Song Dynasty. The emperor was furious and summoned Wang Anshi, Han Qi, and Kou Zhun to the Gen Palace to discuss military affairs.

Wang Anshi, Han Qi and Kou Zhun were so stubborn and rebellious that their direct advice offended the emperor, who was so angry that his blood rushed to his brain and he died.

This outrageous imperial announcement quickly spread throughout the Song Dynasty and beyond.

Almost everyone in the Song Dynasty knew that because of the war in the northern border, Emperor Zhao Ji and the three famous prime ministers had a quarrel in the Gen Palace, and then the emperor was angered to death.

In this court announcement, the court pushed most of the responsibility onto Beiliang and other ethnic minorities.

Wang Anshi and his two brothers, who were supposed to be executed along with their entire family, escaped because of the princess's kindness and generosity. They were sentenced to imprisonment in the Heavenly Prison and were never pardoned for the rest of their lives. They also had to work for the court for free.

A lot of things can be achieved with one stone.

Yang Zhao not only vented his anger, but also punished the traitors, helped Zhao Shirong win the hearts of the people, and aroused hatred among the entire people of the Song Dynasty towards the Northern Liang, Jin, Liao, Mongols and Yuan Dynasty.

As a result, the Song Dynasty soldiers in the northern border, who had always been at a disadvantage, instantly became miserable soldiers. Their morale was soaring that they launched counterattacks one after another on the battlefield, and seemed to be able to win against the odds.

The last internal scourge of the Song Dynasty was completely eliminated.

Based on his memories of two lives, Yang Zhao browsed through the talent pool of the Song Dynasty and quickly promoted a group of new generation officials including Hu Shuan, Li Gang, and Zhou Bida into the court.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhao threw away all the government affairs of the Song Dynasty and returned to the palace to live a happy life.

As the Song Dynasty was internally stable, it had no fear of external enemies.

With the speed at which the new policies are being implemented today and the increasingly prosperous national strength of the Song Dynasty, even if the battle with Northern Liang, Jin, Liao, Mongolia and Yuan dynasties continues, they will be exhausted and destroyed.

What's more, after the internal situation of the Song Dynasty was stabilized.

Yang Zhao immediately incorporated Western Xia through Wang Yuyan and Li Qiushui, and united the forces under Lingjiu Palace. With the help of the Tang Clan's insiders, he quickly took control of Western Shu.

Chen Zhibao of Western Shu does not have as big ambitions as Xu Xiao of Northern Liang.

After seeing that the situation was not going well, he immediately ordered surrender and sent his son to Bian Jing, and also sent Li Yan's head.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhibao led the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry that he had built and rushed to the northern border, showing great loyalty.

The group of military generals at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, plus Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze, Chen Zhibao, and the newly emerging generals Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun.

Yang Zhao could not imagine the possibility of failure on the battlefield in the northern border.

Just fight.

It would be just right to wait until Northern Liang was destroyed and Liao, Jin, Mongolia and Yuan were expelled, so that Zhao Shirong could build an invincible golden statue and ascend the throne legitimately.

As for Yang Zhao himself.

In addition to accompanying Huang Rong, Yan Fei and other girls in having fun, he was constantly sorting out his huge gains over this period of time, and at the same time adjusting his own martial arts and deducing methods of governing the country.

It has to be said that the process of quelling the internal turmoil in the Song Dynasty was a bit difficult.

But in this process, what Yang Zhao gained was unprecedentedly rich.

Different from those trivial martial arts that Yang Zhao collected in the past.

In the Shangyin Academy, after Yang Zhao dealt with Zhang Fuyao, what he obtained was the infinite knowledge and martial arts accumulated by the Shangyin Academy over thousands of years, as well as the complete Confucian martial arts practice methods.

In the Confucius Mansion in Qingzhou, after Yang Zhaoping destroyed the Confucius family, he obtained the "Yunmen Dajuan" and "Dafu Tuoshang", as well as the endless wealth and treasures accumulated by the Confucius family over hundreds of years.

Although Zhu Xi did not give Yang Zhao too many things in the Lianghuai Stone Tower, that one sermon was enough to equal a hundred years of practice for an ordinary person, and it also contained infinite principles of heaven, which was the best supplement for the path of Taoism.

Not to mention the battle of Jiangnan Taihu Lake, the corpses of immortals and the fragments of Tianmen are all top treasures second only to the Jiuzhou artifacts.

The two Zen temples in Xiangfan, the Tongwen Yuling and the Vajra Relics, are enough to make people drool.

All in all.

Yang Zhao needed time to organize, comprehend and understand, and then break it down bit by bit, extract the essence, and integrate it into his own martial arts practice.

The first thing placed before Yang Zhao was Confucian martial arts.

The three gift packages of Shangyin Academy, Qingzhou Confucius Mansion and Lianghuai Zhu Xi are all leaders in the inheritance of Confucian martial arts. Each of them is unique and has many essences.

Shangyin Academy studies Yi, and specializes in the ways of chess and sword.

The Kong family has a nearly complete teaching of Confucius, focusing on the Six Arts.

Zhu Xi was unique in his own way and was already a sage, achieving great success in Neo-Confucianism.

It took Yang Zhao two and a half months to finally extract the essence of Confucian martial arts and find what he believed to be the true meaning of Confucianism.

It is neither the Confucianism of chess and swordplay, nor the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius.

What Yang Zhao was more interested in was the profound principles of Neo-Confucianism summarized by Zhu Xi, or more precisely, the philosophy of mind that was derived from the profound principles of Neo-Confucianism.

In the Kyushu world today, Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty has not yet become famous.

However, it did not prevent Yang Zhao from reading the "Chuan Xi Lu" of later generations in his two lives.

The philosophy of mind that extends from the study of rationalism is in line with the Heart Sutra created by Yang Zhao. As long as it is studied deeply enough, it will be enough to bring about earth-shaking changes to Yang Zhao's Heart Sutra.

However, just when Yang Zhao was about to enter the realm of Martial Saint, it seemed like everything was going to happen naturally.

However, Yang Zhao used his great willpower to abruptly interrupt his promotion.

Is Confucian martial arts strong?

All I can say is that as long as you study Confucianism thoroughly enough and your mind is clear enough, the power of Confucian martial arts is almost limitless.

You know, even if Zhu Xi took the wrong path, he could still touch the mark of heaven.

In the fantasy world, this thing is almost an alternative way of achieving enlightenment.

While most of the geniuses are still struggling to reach the realm of Martial Saint, and the immortals on earth have been unable to see a way forward for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Zhu Xi was a man who had actually broken the shackles of the so-called earthly immortals very early on and reached the pinnacle of the human world.

Damn, who dares to imagine.

It can be said that with Zhu Xi's combat power level, even if there were no restrictions on the Jiuzhou artifacts, it would be difficult for a Blood Wolf God to survive a single move at his hands if he burst out with all his strength.

What’s even more terrifying is that Zhu Xi’s realm is even more outrageous than his combat power, and is in sync with the way of heaven.

It is simply far from the original score.

Chapter 312: The Great Medicine in the Body, the True Qi is as Big as the Sea, and the Soul Leaves the Body

The strength of Confucianism and Taoism shocked Yang Zhao and was even more unimaginable.

However, Yang Zhao guessed that Zhu Xi's cultivation level had actually reached the pinnacle of martial arts since the ancient human emperors, during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

However, after the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the gods and immortals ushered in chaos and foreign races invaded.

This caused major problems in the world of Kyushu, allowing the immortals and gods to tamper with and seize a portion of the authority of Heaven, making the ancient martial arts increasingly incompatible with the human world.

To be precise, it was someone with great abilities who sensed the trap in the Heavenly Dao.

In the more than one thousand years since the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, people have been constantly adjusting and exploring, and have developed the new nine realms of martial arts, or in other words, the seven realms of martial arts with the beginning and the end cut off.

This was the reason why Yang Zhao hardened his mind, interrupted his path to becoming a Martial Saint, and stopped practicing Confucian martial arts.

Confucian martial arts is a martial arts that emerged during the late Zhou Dynasty. As a whole, it is still inclined towards ancient martial arts and it is very easy to fall into the heavenly trap set by the gods in the sky.

An ancient martial art that integrates the body with heaven and earth, explores the way of heaven, and draws on the power of heaven and earth.

At present, it can only be used as a reference, but cannot be taken as the basis.

The new martial arts following the ancient martial arts of Jiuzhou is the self-cultivation martial arts. It is to attribute all the great power to oneself and truly grasp the power in one's own hands, so as to avoid external traps and threats.

But even if you don't practice Confucian martial arts.

More than two months of research brought Yang Zhao unprecedented gains.

In addition to the almost earth-shaking Heart Sutra, Yang Zhao also truly touched the true meaning of martial arts in this process.

It is not the borrowing of the infinite Taoist meaning left by Wang Chongyang in the past.

But it is the true meaning of martial arts that belongs to you.

It was an incomparably wonderful feeling, like an instinct that was derived from the spirit, planted in the heart, and then gradually came to life and took root and sprouted.

This is the self-growth of biological instinct and the infinite sublimation of spiritual will.

In a sense, this true meaning of martial arts is a kind of power that is different from the essence, energy and spirit, and is even closer to one's own true spirit than the power of the spirit, soul and spirit.

Yes, it is the true spirit.

The true meaning of martial arts can also be said to be martial arts instinct, which is a kind of spiritual growth of self-evolution.

Just talking about the impact and destructive power on the outside world.

The true meaning of martial arts is far inferior to the three elements of essence, energy and spirit. However, when the true meaning of martial arts is integrated with one's own essence, energy and spirit, the power of the three can explode geometrically and give rise to spirituality.

With this contact, Yang Zhao may almost be able to comprehend the true meaning of other martial arts at any time.

That is to say, after a period of sedimentation.

When Yang Zhao completely consumes this perception, he will be able to enter the realm of Martial Saint at any time.
