The vehicle body has been reinforced, with iron plates inside, which can withstand the iron arrows of Northern Zhou archers. There are three carriages, and there are heavy guards along the way. Archers dare not shoot arrows easily without absolute certainty.

Drawing an arrow means exposure.

Exposure means death.

The main gate of Dingguo Temple opened, and the carriage entered the temple. Prince Zhu Yan, dressed in military uniform, slowly got out of one of the carriages. The prince is the crown prince of the country, one person below the others and above ten thousand people. He is also a nobleman of the royal family.

He is one of the most powerful people in the world.

Ordinary people, even masters of martial arts, usually have no chance to see the prince.

Everyone knelt down and said, "Kowtow to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Yan waved his hand, "Get up!"

A group of guards escorted him to the main stage. After a while, Liu Qi, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, came to the top of the tower and joined Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing. He was in his thirties, young and capable, and was responsible for the prince's travel safety.

For him, he didn't care at all whether he could catch the archer or not. The prince's safety was his future, so he cared more than anyone else present.

The three of them had negotiated before, and after clasping fists and saluting each other, they set their sights on Dingguo Temple.

Originally, according to the plan, Zhu Yan only had to go up to the stage to attend this event. With the cooperation of Yang Deshui, he handed over the appointment of the best arrow in the world to the "Arrow God of the Central Plains" and gave a few symbolic instructions to end the event.

OK.

If you can draw out Iron Arrow's successor, that's the best. If you can't draw him out, there's no loss.

As soon as he appeared, Xiaosheng Jianghu's Cai Feng consciously stepped down and handed over the post of host to the accompanying Yang Deshui. This official of no more than fifth rank also appeared cautious in front of the prince. Originally, when he learned that the prince wanted to

When he participated, he strongly opposed it, believing that the prince should not put himself in danger, but Zhu Yan insisted again and again, leaving him helpless.

After all, what happened today is extremely dangerous. If something goes wrong, it will definitely be the responsibility of the Six Gates. As the chief arrester, it doesn't matter if he loses his official position, but if he loses his life, it will be more than worth the loss. At this moment, standing next to the prince,

Yang Deshui was a little nervous, with cold sweat dripping down his back.

He cleared his throat and said a few words, first praising His Majesty's sage and then the Prince's wisdom. Then he talked about some of the achievements His Majesty has made in the world since he implemented the New Deal, such as the decrease in crime rate, the increase in people's satisfaction, etc., and

Said: "Now, twenty years after the New Deal, Six Gates will promote the upgrading of the world, steadily implement the New Deal 2.0, and further consolidate the results achieved. Among them, this time, in order to attract the vast number of heroes from the world to serve the court and set a model and example, this year will be canonized

'The best arrow in the world'. In the future, the imperial court will also launch a series of activities such as 'the best sword in the world' and 'the best sword in the world' based on the contributions of various sects in the world to the court and the world. Once selected, they will enter the imperial court

Talent pool, enjoy six special Jianghu allowances. Today, I am honored to invite His Highness the Crown Prince to issue a certificate of appointment to the world's number one arrow. It shows that His Majesty and the Crown Prince attach great importance to this matter. We also welcome people with lofty ideals to join the imperial court.

Among them, we seek the welfare of the people!"

Everyone present cheered.

From reforming Jianghu sects to New Deal 2.0, the imperial court paid more and more attention to Jianghu people and was willing to incorporate Jianghu people into the system. Although they did not have official positions or real power, they enjoyed honors and gained the status of Jianghu people.

A substantial leap.

"His Royal Highness is invited!"

Zhu Yan came to the stage under the gaze of everyone. He was wearing armor today and looked particularly energetic. He said: "I am Zhu Yan. Yesterday, His Majesty called me to see me and asked me to take over the Jianghu New Deal. How to promote it and how to do it?

His Majesty's new policy has brought unprecedented unity to the world. How can we make further progress? The canonization of the 'No. 1 Arrow in the World' has given us a good start and set an example. However, this is not enough.

of."

Prince Zhu Yan was talking eloquently in the audience.

Fan Xiaodao and others on the top of the tower were dumbfounded. Didn't they just agree to show their face and leave? How could they be free to express themselves? It seems that this prince does not like to play his cards according to common sense.

Liu Qi took out two flags from his arms and waved them repeatedly, using different flags. At the scene, the plainclothes soldiers who had already been mixed in were on heightened alert, and some even moved closer to the main stage in case something unexpected happened.

"We, the Ming Dynasty, govern the country with culture and filial piety, but we are not soft persimmons. Jianghu's new policy includes a series of measures, including advocating martial arts and strengthening the people's physical fitness. A man will stand up with a sword and serve the Ming Dynasty. We will reform the martial arts alliance and establish

An effective system. I initially plan to implement the Jianghu nine-level system in the Jianghu. All regular sects and sects that have registered in the six sects will be given a certain Jianghu rank. Famous sects such as Shaolin and Wudang will be given a certain Jianghu rank.

, can be named as a third-grade sect, and their leader, abbot, enjoys third-grade treatment, deputy head, presiding officer, etc. can enjoy third-grade treatment. Personnel within the sect are recommended by each sect and appointed by the court. People in Jianghu sects,

They will be on an equal footing with local officials at the same level. At the same time, the imperial court will dispatch supervisory censors and regularly send inspection teams to inspect the rivers and lakes. This force will be brought under the management of the court and a three-level system of Jianghu officials, military generals and Jianghus will be established."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was moved.

There are only two words for their feelings.

Shocking!

Not only them, but also Fan Xiaodao, Zhao Xing and others did not expect that Prince Zhu Yan would announce such a thing. Although the New Deal has been in place for twenty years, the imperial court has brought all the major factions in line and kept talking about New Deal 2.0.

There has been no movement for a long time, but who would have expected that such shocking news would come out.

The world has always been governed by civil servants and military commanders.

Jianghu?

It's just a dispensable thing, just like toilet paper. You take it when you use it and throw it away after use. People in the world live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, never thinking that one day they will be able to enter a temple.

Twenty years after the New Deal, Jianghu has long lost its blood and has become the cradle of exporting military talents for the imperial court. Now it has suddenly transformed and entered the ruling system and been included within the scope of the imperial court's management. No matter what the specific supporting measures are, it will inevitably cause chaos in Jianghu.

A sensation.

This is probably a strategy that was already set before the New Deal was implemented.

Since ancient times, chivalrous men have used force to break the law.

Jianghu has always been a destabilizing factor in the world.

In this case, it is better to incorporate it and let the imperial court personally control it to carry out imperial reform, which is a bit like recruiting the entire Jianghu. In times of peace, it can provide talents for the imperial military.

formed an assault army.

These high-flying masters may become a force that can turn the tide of the war. Moreover, they can obtain a certain social status by determining the level of the martial arts. More importantly, they are only given a rank, but do not need to use the national treasury to support them. Each sect has its own business.

Zhu Yan added: "The world is the court's world, it is the Ming Dynasty's world, the rivers and lakes are the court's rivers and lakes, it is the court's rivers and lakes."

Everyone present was excited by the words, but one person was drowsy.

Niu Dafu was dressed in a hero suit, his mind was buzzing, and he stood for half an hour. His small body was a bit too much. He had known better that he would not take this bad job. Zhu Yan changed the subject and said: "Today, this

He is the god of arrows in the Central Plains and kills enemies for the imperial court. We named him the 'No. 1 Arrow in the World' in recognition of his past achievements, but we don't call him the god of war or the god of arrows. Why?"

Everyone was also stunned.

Yes, since he has been granted the title, wouldn’t it be better to simply grant him the title of Archery God?

Zhu Yan said: "Where are the gods? They are just the sustenance of people's hearts. All the gods in the world are man-made. The God of War, the God of Swords, and the God of Martial Arts are just deified people. The so-called deification means standing."

God's design, once the godhead is formed, the relationship between God and the deity is divorced, which is illusory and unrealistic. We people of the Ming Dynasty do not believe in gods, but only believe in people. Only the people, and only you, are the real gods of the Ming Dynasty! This kind of belief is consistent with

The coexistence of the world is the source of the enduring prosperity of our Ming Empire and the driving force for the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

What he said was sonorous and powerful.

Zhu Yan, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, returned to the capital after three years of dormancy in Yingtian Mansion. Although he did several beautiful things, today, in Dingguo Temple, he made his political voice heard for the first time.

Thunderous applause.

I have to admit that these words are very shocking and inflammatory.

Even Fan Xiaodao felt that Zhu Yan's words represented a new force and a new direction.

Zhao Xingdao: "If it weren't for show, the prince's idea is indeed very attractive."

Liu Qi frowned slightly when he heard that his tone was somewhat disrespectful towards the prince, but remained silent.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: "You hypocrite, knock down Prince Zhu Yan!"

Another person shouted: "Despicable villain! You raped women in Jinling and bullied the market. Come and blast you to death with a thunderstorm!"

Someone is causing trouble!

As soon as the two people opened their mouths, they were pushed to the ground by two forbidden soldiers in the mixed crowd.

"Let me go, we have the right to express freedom of speech."

"Zhu, do you dare to confront me?"

Zhu Yan was confused when such an accident happened. He said, "I don't know you two. In Yingtian Mansion, although I travel frequently, I have never done anything like what you mentioned. Who ordered it?"

"It is dictated by conscience and dictated by the righteous way of heaven and earth!"

Upon seeing this, a forbidden soldier took off his socks and stuffed them into his mouth.

Zhu Yandao said, "Bring him forward. If you don't explain clearly, you won't be able to argue clearly." Just as he was about to step forward, he was pulled back by Yang Deshui, "Your Highness, there must be something hidden about the matter between these two people. Don't put yourself in danger."

.”

You must know that there is a mechanism hidden where Zhu Yan is standing, and the pedal that triggers the mechanism is at the feet of Yang Deshui. In order to prevent accidents, Yang Deshui stopped Zhu Yan regardless of his identity. Zhu Yan was alert and said: "Those who insult the royal family should be punished

You will be killed, but I will give you a chance today, and you will be imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion, and you will be tried publicly in the future!"

These two people did not have murder weapons, and you could guess with your toes that they must be someone who deliberately came to disgust Zhu Yan.

After the two people were taken away, the ceremony continued. Yang Deshui said, "Your Highness, I would like to invite you to issue a certificate of appointment for the Central Plains Arrow...the best arrow in the world."

Niu Dafu finally woke up and dragged his fat and heavy body to the prince's side.

Everyone's eyes returned to the stage.

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing discovered almost at the same time that there was a Forbidden Soldier among the crowd. He left his post and slowly walked towards a water tank beside the courtyard. Because he was wearing Forbidden Army armor, he did not attract the attention of others.

The man put his hand into the water jar, and when he took it out, he actually had a bow in his hand.
