Originally, the seats for the martial arts conference were arranged according to the level classification of the martial arts sects by the Jianghu Division. There were only eleven seats in the first row, prepared for the four major families and the eight major sects. The four kings of the Shaolin Temple were poisoned and asked for leave in the future, but they were still reserved.

However, due to the recent death of Yu Dadi, the Diancang faction returned to Lingnan. The seats were just right. However, Li Juefei of Chunfeng Yeyulou arrived early. When he saw that the seat was in the second row, he directly took the Kongtong sign to the back.

He sat in the first row.

In the arena, seating is very important.

In a sense, this is a reflection of the strength and status of a sect. Especially in the first martial arts conference, the sects that can sit in the first row are all the sects in the first echelon in the world.

Chunfeng Yeyulou's strength is obvious to all, and he has ambitions to join the top ten sects, so he picked a soft persimmon, and the Kongtong sect happened to be the soft persimmon.

Liu Chongyi was furious and stood in front of Li Juefei, "Master Li, are you sitting in the wrong seat?"

Li Juefei said, "Shaolin is the leader of martial arts. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to sit over there, right?"

Liu Chongyi said solemnly, "I mean, let you sit in the back."

Li Juefei laughed and said proudly: "Why?"

This sentence was full of gunpowder, and he provocatively said, "The rules of the martial arts world are either first come first served, or whoever has better martial arts will get it, or it will be compared with how much money is donated to the martial arts conference. You Kongtong can only send about 300 people, and no one in martial arts can fight."

Yes, except that it takes longer, do you still have the nerve to call it the Eight Sects? In terms of strength, among the Cao Gang, Yan Gang, and Dajiang Hui present, which one is not more qualified than you?"

Liu Chongyi's face was full of anger. It was true that the Kongtong sect had declined, but the title of the Eight Great Sects had been around for hundreds of years. Now they were being ridiculed by a Chunfeng Yeyulou who was less than twenty years old. However, what he said was the truth, and he said angrily:

"Can we please be reasonable?"

Li Juefei said: "Okay, if it's true, I think the Kongtong sect should withdraw from the eight major sects, don't you think so?"

Li Juefei's prestige among small and medium-sized sects was very high. After the establishment of Chunfeng Yeyu Tower, he knew that there was a gap in strength between Shaolin, Wudang, and other aristocratic families, so he worked hard to win over small and medium-sized sects.

Several sect leaders in the back row said one after another: "That's right, it's shameless to have a vegetarian meal in the corpse position!"

"That is, I heard that not long ago, Master Liu had a sword duel with a knight named Shi Kuan. He was beaten until he vomited three liters of blood. In the end, he gave him five thousand taels of silver, apologized and begged him.

Don't tell this embarrassing story, Mr. Liu, victory or defeat is a normal matter for military strategists, and losing in a martial arts competition is also the new era of Kongtong, the new normal, no shame!"

The speaker was Li Changjiang, the leader of the Yellow River Gang. This man had some grudges with Liu Chongyi, and he would show no mercy when they started to fight against each other.

Liu Chongyi's face turned red when he was told, "That's nonsense!"

"Then why didn't you, Kongtong, apply for a single event in this martial arts competition?"

Liu Chongyi supported himself and said: "Is it interesting to fight and kill? If you really want to fight, come to Kongtong Mountain. I have the Kongtong Sword Formation and will fight with you to your heart's content!"

Yangtze Gang leader Zhao Huanghe said: "The Kongtong Sword Formation is so powerful. I heard it seems to be the greatest sword formation in the world!"

Although the two factions of the Yangtze River Gang and the Yellow River Gang have no business contacts, one is mainly engaged in transportation on the Yangtze River and the other is engaged in freight transportation on the Yellow River, they have a common competitor, the Caobang. Although the Caobang is mainly engaged in the Grand Canal, its business has recently expanded and its hands have been extended to

The Yangtze Gang and the Yellow River Gang are in the rice bowl. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so the Yangtze Gang also speaks out to help the Yellow River Gang.

Li Changjiang said: "That's not what it is. Although there are only a hundred disciples in Kongtong, there are 360 ​​people in the Kongtong Sword Formation! If the sword formation is set up, our earth altar will not be able to accommodate it!"

"

"Three hundred and sixty people, which is more than the number of people in the Wudang Tai Chi Sword Formation! I thought that the 108 Arhat Formation in Shaolin Temple was already the largest sword formation in the world. However, I have a doubt. The additional 200 people in the Kongtong Sword Formation

Where do people come from?"

Li Changjiang said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, I don't know. Of course, I spent money to invite him from outside! There is a village of Kongtong at the foot of Kongtong Mountain. It was originally a century-old problem, but thanks to the participation in the Kongtong Sword

The formation has abruptly removed the label of a poor village. From this point of view, the Kongtong Sect plays a major role!"

Zhao Changjiang said: "Well, it's a pity that this is a martial arts conference. If I attend the rural revitalization commendation meeting, you should sit in the front row. I have absolutely no objection!"

The two of them started fighting each other, and their words made Liu Chongyi so embarrassed that if he took action, he thought that he would not be Li Juefei's opponent, so he sat angrily in the row behind him.

When everyone is done, the meeting officially begins.

Fan Xiaodao said, "Dear colleagues in the martial arts world, today we have gathered together to convene the first martial arts conference. Attending this conference is Zhu Yan, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty..."

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Zhu Yan nodded slightly.

"The deputy chief of the Six Sects of the imperial court arrested Yang Deshui, the Eight Sects, the Four Great Families, Chunfeng Yeyu Tower, the Eight Gangs and Ten Hui, as well as representatives of the major, medium and small sects, all the colleagues of the Six Sects and Xiaosheng Jianghu, etc."

A mediocre beginning.

Fan Xiaodao was also a little nervous. He had held meetings with the guys from Heifeng Village before, but today, the people sitting in the audience were all famous people in the world. This was the first time. When he thought about it, he was not afraid of being beaten or killed.

Why are you afraid of this? Besides, even if you are a famous person in the world, you will not sit down and listen obediently in front of the powerful?

Thinking of this, I feel relieved.

After a few brief introductions, he said, "Now I'd like to invite Yang Deshui, the vice president of Liumen, to speak."

There was a burst of boos from the audience.

In the past, Song Jingang and Zhuge Xianyu all lived in the martial arts world. Yang Deshui didn't understand the martial arts world at all. What kind of reasoning could he make?

Yang Deshui had been in the officialdom for a long time, so he was not in a hurry. He took out the prepared manuscript from his arms, and as soon as he spread it out, he was interrupted by Prince Zhu Yan, "Forget it, let me say a few words."

He looked around. Although the prince was young and did not know martial arts, his aura was not inferior to anyone here. After all, he was a member of the royal family. He had been in a high position for a long time and had developed an aura of calmness and authority.

Zhu Yan said: "Let me ask you, do you want to be an official?"

Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded and looked at each other.

Why did the prince ask such a vulgar question? We are all Jianghu people. Although it is Jianghu's new policy, everyone relies on their status. Even if they think in their hearts, they will not admit it, otherwise they will be laughed at by their fellow Jianghu people in the future.

The scene was completely silent.

Only in the corner of the first row, Li Juefei's voice sounded, "Think!"

Zhu Yan said to Zhao Xing, "Okay, Chunfeng Yeyulou has entered the double first-class sect, and Li Juefei will be given the treatment of the fourth grade, please remember!"

Not only did everyone feel strange, but Fan and Zhao were also curious. His Highness the Prince did not follow the routine. However, since the Prince spoke, they could not say more, so Zhao Xing recorded it.

Li Juefei didn't think anything was wrong. He stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Although it has not been officially confirmed, the establishment court has already given it. As long as the list of candidates is submitted to the cabinet, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be a sure thing.

Originally, a group of sects were competing for the spot of the Double First Class. The competition was fierce. Unexpectedly, Li Juefei just answered a question and got it easily. This made everyone have to cheer up and listen carefully to Zhu Yan's speech.

Zhu Yan said, "Let me ask again, do you want to be an official?"

At this time, the various sects no longer cared about the opinions of their colleagues, and rushed to say, "Think!"

There were also two heads of small sects who were unconventional and said: "I don't want to!"

Zhu Yan looked over and said: "Luzhou Sword Sect and Xindonghui, since you don't want to, please leave. These two sects have been removed from the six sects and are regarded as illegal sects. From now on, they are not allowed to recruit new disciples."

You are not allowed to travel in the Jianghu as a Jianghu person. If there is any violation of the law, it will be handled by the government."

Several people came forward and invited the two people out.

One reward and one punishment, clean and tidy.

Zhu Yan instantly took the initiative in the martial arts conference.

These people were famous in the world and could kill people without blinking an eye, but under the power, everything seemed weak and powerless. No matter how powerful the sect was, they were unable to fight against the imperial court.

"Since everyone wants to be an official, this matter will be easy to handle!" Zhu Yan stood up and said slowly, "The imperial court convenes a martial arts conference, which is such an opportunity, and whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your performance!

"

Next, Zhu Yan began to elaborate on his concept of Jianghu New Deal, which was further refined based on the previous Jianghu New Deal reform launched by Dingguo Temple.

The first is to strengthen the management of the Six Gates. All sects are managed by the Six Gates. The establishment, merger, and expansion must be reviewed at the Six Gates. The main martial arts secrets must be registered at the Six Gates.

The abbot, sect leader, gang leader), deputy sect leader (deputy sect leader, host, deputy sect leader, deputy gang leader) and the main person in charge must be approved by the six doors. The six doors are responsible for formulating the overall policy of the rivers and lakes and maintaining the stability of the rivers and lakes.

The second is to establish a martial arts conference system. Under the martial arts conference, there is a martial arts joint council. The members of the joint council are composed of ten sects. The chairman of the council is the nominal leader of the martial arts alliance. He is assumed by the ten sects in rotation and is responsible for mediating disputes in the world and formulating rules.

Rules, management of Jianghu affairs, martial arts competition filing, etc.

The third is to constrain the behavioral norms of people in the arena. All people in the arena, and those in regular sects, must obtain a martial arts qualification certificate before they can travel in the arena. The Wulin Federation formulates the standards and punishment system for practitioners in the arena. Those who violate the professional standards will be punished.

give no

To the same extent, martial arts competitions, sparring, and duels among Jianghu people must be registered at the six gates. Jianghu people can act according to Jianghu rules, but if there are disputes with non-Jianghu people, they will be dealt with according to Ming law. This can prevent Jianghu people from relying on them.

Martial arts, bullying the good.

These three basic systems have established a dual system with six sects managing people and sects, and the Wulin Federation managing specific affairs. On the one hand, the various martial arts sects in the world are included in the court system without involving too much energy.

On the other hand, it can restrain the Jianghu people's Jianghu behavior and avoid inconvenience to the people's lives.

Of course, for the bandits who mainly engage in robbery, such as Heifeng Village and Laohu Village, they have not registered with Liumen. The court defines them as illegal organizations. The government either lacks sufficient force or colludes with them, so they can be justified.

By entrusting them to various sects and gangs, we can also use a reward and punishment system to hunt down those gangsters who have committed evil deeds, which can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the gangsters.

I have to say that Zhu Yan's speech level is very high, and what he says is also very inflammatory, because he understands what these people in the world need most.

Reputation, interests, power, and status are applicable to everyone.

And he can mobilize the entire world with only a few fictitious positions with rank but no real power. From a public perspective, it is to eliminate hidden dangers and cultivate talents for the court. From a private perspective, it is to cultivate his own strength.
