Chapter 111 The Four Wudang Meridians
Queen Zhao’s reason stunned Wang Chengen!
How can this be considered a reason for refusing to accept the order?

When did the royal Zhu family start to care about seniority?
Or when did the royal families of dynasties throughout history talk about seniority?

Far away, the emperor of the Han Dynasty married his own niece!
Let’s not talk about other people recently, let’s just talk about Queen Zhao herself!
Everyone in the world knows the huge age gap between King Ming and Queen Zhao!
Everyone in the capital city knows that after Zhao Yuguang became a master, when Zhao Yushan was young, King Ming called Zhao Yuguang "brother" in order to win over Zhao Yuguang and the Zhao family!
Zhao Yushan is the "little niece" who grew up under the care of King Ming!
In the end, didn’t Zhao Yushan still marry King Ming and become the queen?

Now Queen Zhao is actually talking about confusing the order of generations!
On this basis, I disagree with the king's marriage between Princess Min'an and the son of Lord Fang...

This... isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
Is it really to block the path you have walked and prevent those who come after you from continuing?

"Queen, this is what the king wants!"

Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, then he extended the imperial edict in his hand an inch towards Queen Zhao again.

"Butler Wang, this is also what I insisted on!"

Zhao Yushan still had no intention of accepting the imperial edict.

"Queen, where is Princess Min'an?
Why not call out Princess Min'an and let her decide for herself whether to accept the decree!"

Wang Chengen had no choice but to say this.

Queen Zhao dared to refuse King Ming's imperial edict, and Wang Chengen didn't believe that Princess Min'an would be so bold.

"I can make the decision on this matter on behalf of Min An!"

There was no emotion in Queen Zhao's eyes!
After a while of stalemate, Wang Chengen finally felt something was wrong!
Then, this feeling that something was wrong became stronger and stronger.

"Queen, please call out Princess Min'an!"

Wang Chengen finally stopped caring about Queen Zhao and King Ming's vague but omnipresent preference for her, and stood up.

A powerful aura emanated from his body, which was not much weaker than that of a grandmaster.

Having followed King Ming for more than thirty years, Wang Chengen deeply understood that King Ming always cared more about achieving his goals than his inner love for Queen Zhao.

And Wang Chengen is the extension of King Ming’s hands and feet!

The will of the Ming King is Wang Chengen’s goal!
"General Manager Wang, how dare you be so presumptuous in this Queen's Palace! Who gave you the courage?"

A loud shout like a phoenix's cry echoed throughout half of the Ming Palace.

In the palaces, many palace servants were startled by this sudden change and put down their work.

Wang Chengen's original intention was to detect the aura of warriors in Zhu Xiumin's hiding place, but it aroused a strong reaction from the soul-refining formation that Zhao Yushan had already set up in Jiao Shu Hall!
Then, a bloody phoenix shadow appeared on Queen Zhao's body!

Queen Zhao came forward and pushed out with one palm. The entire phoenix shadow broke away from Queen Zhao's body and pounced directly on Wang Chengen who was nearby.

Wang Chengen didn't expect that his mere burst of aura and his action of exploring the whereabouts of Princess Min'an would actually provoke such a violent reaction from Queen Zhao.

"Queen, what are you doing?"

Wang Chengen was shocked and angry.

Wang Chengen knew that Queen Zhao had been practicing cultivation.

But Wang Chengen never expected that Queen Zhao had cultivated both martial arts and spiritual cultivation to such a high level.

The pinnacle of martial arts!
Refining the Yin God to its peak!

What Wang Chengen didn't expect was that Queen Zhao had actually set up an offensive spirit-refining formation in the Jiaoshu Palace in advance.

Moreover, this soul refining formation can also cooperate with Zhao Yushan's martial arts techniques!

Allow Zhao Yushan to burst out with a powerful attack power far beyond that of ordinary first-rate and ordinary Yin gods.

Of course, what Wang Chengen didn’t expect the most was that Zhao Yushan would suddenly attack him with all her strength!

too suddenly!

Although Wang Chengen was able to dodge by relying on his unique skills at the great perfection level!
But if he dodges, then the eunuchs behind him will...

They don't have Wang Chengen's physical skills and strength.

These are all Wang Chengen’s carefully cultivated confidants!
"Vajra body protection!"

Wang Chengen shouted in his heart!
A transparent circular shield wrapped Wang Chengen and protected him.

In the end, Wang Chengen chose to use his decades of Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu skills to fight against Zhao Yushan's Bloody Phoenix.

This protective method is very similar to Zhu Chengwu's "Innate Gangqi"!
In other words, Zhu Chengwu's "Xiantian Gangqi" was improved on the basis of "Vajra Body Guard".

In order to adapt to Zhu Chengwu's updated "Tiangang Tongzi Kung Fu"!
In order to suit Zhu Chengwu!
As the absolute confidant of King Ming, Wang Chengen was also passed on one of the twelve magical skills of the royal Zhu family.

As a eunuch, the magical skill book that Wang Chengen was passed down was the "Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu" that the King of Ming gave to Zhu Chengwu!
Vajra Body Protection is the unique body protection martial art recorded in "Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu"!

The Zhu royal family's twelve magical skills manuals combine the foundation of internal strength with martial arts skills.

After decades of dedicated research, although Wang Chengen lost the opportunity to become a master because he missed the best age, he had already practiced the unique martial art of Vajra Body Protection to the great perfection level!
It was thanks to the mastery of the unique body-protecting martial art "Vajra Body Guard" that Wang Chengen became a junior grandmaster.

Boom~~~
Just like a phoenix playing with a pearl!

The bloody phoenix pushed the transparent balloon formed by Wang Chengen diagonally upwards for dozens of meters.

It broke through the junction of the wall and the roof of the Jiaoshu Palace!
"wrong…

This move...

It looks gorgeous, but in fact it has no penetration at all!

This kind of move, no matter how powerful it is, cannot break my diamond body protection!
Queen Zhao knows my background!
Now that she has resorted to such a useless trick, what exactly does Queen Zhao intend to do?
And Queen Zhao’s reaction was too extreme…”

Wang Chengen was knocked into the air by the bloody phoenix. Feeling the powerful but non-penetrating force coming from the bloody phoenix, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Although Wang Chengen didn't know what Queen Zhao's purpose was, after being with King Ming for so long, Wang Chengen already understood that people with outstanding wisdom like King Ming and Queen Zhao would rarely do useless things.

If you think their actions are useless, it only proves that you don't understand the deeper meaning behind their actions.

Finally, after sending Wang Chengen dozens of meters into the sky, the bloody phoenix that separated from Zhao Yushan's body lost its source of power and gradually dissipated!

Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to ponder the deeper purpose behind Queen Zhao's actions, another burst of phoenix cry was heard.

clang clang
It was Zhao Yushan who once again urged her internal strength and spiritual power. Under the effect of the Jiao Shu Palace formation, a phoenix shadow appeared on Zhao Yushan's body again.

Then, the phoenix shadow spread its wings, and Zhao Yushan jumped up, rushing straight towards Wang Chengen, who was slowly falling in the air as the previous phoenix shadow dissipated.

It really never ends!

"queen!!"

Wang Chengen could no longer bear it and shouted in question.

However, Wang Chengen's original intention was to shout at Zhao Yushan to regain her sanity and ask her to stop, but it actually caused a hint of joy to appear in the eyes of Zhao Yushan who was rushing forward.

Because Wang Chengen's shout was loud enough for many palace servants to hear!
"General Manager Wang, please tell His Majesty that I will never allow anything that disrupts the order of seniority!

If Your Majesty insists, I and Your Majesty will never coexist! "

Queen Zhao, wrapped in the shadow of a bloody phoenix, flew towards Wang Chengen while loudly "responding" to Wang Chengen's angry shouts.

Boom~
After another round of attacks, Queen Zhao and Wang Chengen ended up in a draw, each falling on one side of the roof of Jiaoshu Palace.

Standing opposite each other!

In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is a direct bombardment!
The only one attacking was Queen Zhao, and Wang Chengen was on the defense the whole time!

"Queen, are you really determined to disobey my order?"

Wang Chengen took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

Wang Chengen did not want the queen, whom the King Ming cared about, to completely stand against him.

This is really cruel for the old man Ming Wang!

"Your Majesty's order is unreasonable! I will fight for it! Not only me, but my son, Marquis Fu'an, will not sit idly by and watch the king make such an order!
The king is old and confused!

I will not let the King follow the old path of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty!"

Wang Chengen controlled the volume, but Queen Zhao's voice was surprisingly loud.

It was far beyond Wang Chengen's hearing range!
Queen Zhao's voice could be heard echoing throughout a quarter of the palace.

In Queen Zhao's words, Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang were both representative monarchs who were wise in their early years but foolish in their later years.

"Queen, you...

Queen, I still say the same thing, let Princess Min'an come out! Princess Min'an is already an adult, can she decide whether to accept the decree or not?"

Queen Zhao compared King Ming to Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, which made Wang Chengen both happy and angry!
Wang Chengen wanted to angrily scold Queen Zhao for her insolence!
After all, the master humiliates the minister and the minister dies!

But he suddenly remembered that his status and position were not enough to reprimand the queen.

And now they are on the roof of Jiaoshu Palace, with a wide view!
He couldn't let those palace servants who were secretly observing laugh at the royal family, and he couldn't let a trend of disrespecting members of the royal family start!
In addition, Queen Zhao compared King Ming to emperors such as Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who were highly praised in history books. To a certain extent, this also represents Queen Zhao's recognition of King Ming.

Therefore, Wang Chengen chose to suppress his anger and tried to persuade him again.

Wang Chengen hoped that Queen Zhao would allow Princess Min'an to make her own decision.

"Manager Wang! I have made it very clear!
I will never accept this order!"

Zhao Yushan's attitude was very firm.

The aura around his body was constantly surging, constantly connecting and interacting with the soul refining formation that had been set up in advance in the Jiao Shu Palace.

Although Zhao Yushan has not achieved the status of a grandmaster or a junior grandmaster, relying on her dual cultivation of martial arts and spiritual cultivation, as well as the blessing of the formation in the Jiao Shu Palace, Zhao Yushan's combat power near the Jiao Shu Palace is not inferior to that of a famous junior grandmaster like Wang Chengen.

What's more, Zhao Yushan's status and position are there.

Even if Wang Chengen's fighting ability is higher than Zhao Yushan's, Wang Chengen would not dare to really use heavy force or kill Zhao Yushan!
The stalemate lasted for several breaths on the roof of Jiaoshu Palace!
Seeing that Zhao Yushan's attitude showed no sign of softening, Wang Chengen finally chose to leave.

Go report to King Ming and let him make the decision.

This is what Wang Chengen should have done after Queen Zhao disobeyed the order and deliberately made a big fuss!

After all, Wang Chengen is just an extension of Ming Wang's hands and feet, not his brain.

……

Just when Wang Chengen and Zhao Yushan were making a scene in Jiaoshu Palace, causing a lot of discussion among the palace people in the Ming Palace, and the topic was getting heated.

Wudang, the largest sect of the Ming Dynasty, also held an emergency meeting of the four sects because of the news that Zhu Chengwu had successfully defeated the Grandmaster.

After all, this is another proven successful example of a counterattack against a master since their ancestor, Taoist Sanfeng.

The founder of Wudang, Taoist Sanfeng, had seven disciples.

They are Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Yu Daying, Zhang Songxi, Zhang Cuishan, Yin Liting and Mo Shenggu.

It is said in the world that the names of these seven disciples embody Taoist Sanfeng's endless longing and remembrance for the white moonlight in his heart.

Under the distant bridge floats the lotus boat, on the rock of Taiyan, the pine trees flow in the stream. On the ten thousand feet green mountain, the pear pavilion is there, don't ask about the sound of the empty valley.

Later, due to various reasons, the fifth disciple Zhang Cuishan committed suicide, the seventh disciple Mo Shenggu was killed, and the sixth disciple Yin Liting married the daughter of his ex-fiancee and retired, disappearing from the world.

Although the entire Wudang was quite united when Taoist Sanfeng was still there, the head of Wudang was appointed by Taoist Sanfeng himself.

But after the death of Taoist Sanfeng, the entire Wudang Sect slowly split into four branches.

It is inherited from the Taitai Peak lineage of Song Yuanqiao, the Tianzhu Peak lineage founded by Yu Lianzhou, the Mingyue Peak lineage passed down by Yu Dayan, and finally the Rihua Peak lineage established by Zhang Songxi.

Division is one of the biggest problems that top powers will encounter in the process of continued development.

After all, when there are more people, there will be more ideas and different interests!
Fortunately, the four Wudang sects still remember the teachings of their ancestors: to divide into sects but not into factions, to divide into people but not into families!

Although the four Wudang sects each have their own leaders and elders, they all have a unified chief leader to the outside world!
The chief leader is changed every five years, and the four sects take turns to be the boss.

Of course, the reason why Wudang can divide lineages but not factions, and divide people but not families, in addition to the teachings of the ancestors and the tacit understanding of each lineage, there is another most important reason, that is the system.

According to Wudang rules, once a grandmaster emerges in any of the four lineages, that lineage will hold the position of "chief master" for one term!
At the same time, the master who is born will automatically break away from the restrictions of the bloodline and become the common supreme elder of the four Wudang bloodlines.

Between a single supreme elder in one lineage and a supreme elder shared by all four lineages, every rational master knows what to choose.

These systems are the fundamental reason why the four Wudang sects have been able to live in peace, unlike the two Huashan sword and qi sects who are fighting to the death.

The current chief leader of the Wudang Sect is Taoist Zi Yang, the leader of the Taitai lineage of Song Yuanqiao, and the master of Zhuo Yihang who once challenged Zhu Chengwu.

It was also because of these five years that the position of Wudang's chief leader fell to Taitai Peak, and Zhuo Yihang, the beloved and first disciple of Taoist Zi Yang, was called the contemporary great disciple of Wudang by the outside world.

However, Zhuo Yihang's title as Wudang's eldest disciple will not last long!
Taoist Zi Yang has been the chief leader of Wudang for more than four years. With less than a year left in his term, it will be the turn of the Tianzhu lineage founded by Yu Lianzhou to take over!
This would be a normal rotation and handover of the "chief leader".

Because the Taitai Peak lineage has not produced any grandmasters in the past twenty years, and it can be predicted that in less than a year, the Taitai Peak lineage will not have any gifted disciples breaking through to the grandmaster level.

Taoist Zi Yang has no chance of re-election!
Zhuo Yihang's title as Wudang's eldest disciple would naturally also have to be changed.

"He is truly a genius. At such a young age, he has created many magical skills, secret techniques and forbidden arts. Especially the Lotus Fire God, who can fully exert the power of the high-level rare earth and heaven treasure, the Earth Core Fire Lotus, is even more amazing!"

Inside the Wudang Zhenwu Hall, the head of Mingyue Peak, Taoist Mu, sighed.

"Marquis Fu'an is indeed powerful! But defeating and killing are two different concepts.

Although the Marquis of Fu'an was fighting one against two, the Duke of Yan and the Marquis of Xibei were both from the imperial court...

Not convincing enough!

Want to be on par with the ancestors?

It may not be too wishful thinking! "

The one who spoke was Taoist Qingsong, the current head of the Rihua Peak lineage established by Zhang Songxi.

Among the four sect leaders, Taoist Qingsong is the youngest, but he also respects Taoist Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, the most.

"The sudden rise of Marquis Fu'an has stirred up new waves in the struggle for the throne of the Ming Dynasty...

Everything has become a flower in the mist and a moon in the water again!

Daoist Fellow Ziyang, you must hold on. Don’t let Zhuo Yihang drag the entire Wudang into the vortex!"

The one who spoke this time was Taoist Chongxu, the leader of Tianzhu Peak who was about to take over the position of Wudang's chief leader.

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Chongxu, I won’t violate the Four Veins Agreement!
Even if my Taitai Peak lineage supports the prince, that is only a matter for my Taitai Peak lineage, and I will never act in the name of the Wudang chief master!"

Taoist Zi Yang understood what Taoist Chong Xu was worried about and reassured him again.

The so-called Wudang Four Sects Agreement is the agreement made by the four sect masters when the four sects were formed in order to avoid internal friction and to avoid being "annihilated in one fell swoop":
Of the four Wudang sects, if one sect supports a party/person, it must immediately notify the other three sects. The other three sects can bet on their opponents or just watch from the sidelines, but they cannot bet on the same party/person again. Avoid internal friction and being "taken down" after failure!
At the same time, it was agreed that if one of the three branches was implicated because of a wrong bet, the other three branches could cut ties to protect themselves, or even add insult to injury. But they must do their best to preserve the inheritance of that branch and give it a chance to make a comeback!

Because of this agreement, and the fact that Wudang is a Taoist sect, the younger generations of warriors have a higher level of morality and tacitly abide by the agreements made by the ancestors of each sect!

Therefore, although the four Wudang lineages have had their ups and downs, they have been passed down to this day, and no lineage has ever been truly cut off!

At this point in time, the four Wudang sects have each developed and are all very powerful.

Taoist Zi Yang of Taitai Peak, Taoist Chong Xu of Tianzhu Peak, Taoist Mu of Mingyue Peak, Taoist Qingsong of Rihua Peak are all famous junior masters.

Each branch has several first-class elders to assist it under its leader.

Plus two great elders at the Grandmaster level...

This is the true strength of the Wudang Sect, the number one sect in the Ming Dynasty.

It is no weaker than the power of the royal Zhu family itself.

Although the royal Zhu family had the Ming Dynasty court to rely on.

However, as the leading force in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no shortage of martial arts sects and people in the martial arts world willing to follow Wudang Sect at its command!
This is the origin of the Ming Dynasty court and warriors sharing the world!
