In the warm pavilion, Lao Zhu was so immersed in reading a book about Water Margin. When Li Jie recommended Luo Guanzhong to him, Lao Zhu's favorite was actually the book of the Three Kingdoms. Even Lao Zhu took half an hour to read every day. Even though he had read it many times, he had new gains every time he read it.

However, as Lao Zhu got older and his health became worse and worse, he fell in love with Water Margin instead. It was not that he thought Water Margin was better than the Three Kingdoms, but that in the book Water Margin, he saw many of his experiences when he was young. He was forced to go to Liangshan like many Liangshan heroes, so some plots seemed very familiar to him.

Speaking of which, since he came to Beijing, Lao Zhu also handed over government affairs to Zhu Biao one by one, and he finally had a long gap of time, which made him start to pick up books again. In addition to novels like Water Margin and the Three Kingdoms, he also read a large number of books like Zizhi Tongjian that summarized the gains and losses of the past dynasties, hoping to find the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty from these books, so that the Ming Dynasty can become more perfect in the final stage of his life.

However, just when Lao Zhu saw the leopard head accidentally entering the White Tiger Hall, he suddenly heard familiar footsteps coming from outside. Then Zhu Biao and Li Jie, the father-in-law and son-in-law, walked in, which made Lao Zhu put down the book in his hand and smiled: "Why are you here?"

Zhu Biao did not answer, but looked at Li Jie. He saw that Li Jie stepped forward and walked and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report to Your Majesty this time about the royal family!"

"Why, is there another royal family causing trouble?" Old Zhu immediately sat upright when he heard this, and asked with annoyance. The constant troubles in the royal family have also made him very angry. If these people were not his children and grandchildren, he might really want to slash these people.

"Your Majesty misunderstood. Since I sent someone to protect the royal family, no one in the royal family has caused any major trouble. However, after seeing the performance of these royal families, I felt very sad!" Li Jie's voice became a little low at the end, and Zhu Biao next to him also lowered his head in time, as if he had the same feelings as Li Jie.

"Oh? Why are you feeling sad?" Old Zhu showed a puzzled look when he heard this.

"What I am so sad is that the princes he trained for his heroes for the rest of his life are mostly among the people. For example, the prince, the king of Yan and the king of Chu, like the king of Fusang who made mistakes before, can now stand alone. However, among the third generation of the royal grandsons, except for Yun Xiong and Youshang, most of them lack discipline. They only know how to do things based on their own identity, and even if they come to the capital, they don't know how to restrain themselves. This is simply too disappointing!"

As soon as Li Jie said, Lao Zhu immediately showed a heavy expression, because Li Jie's words did touch his psychology, and he was very concerned about the cultivation of his children and grandchildren. In order to let Zhu Biao and others experience the sufferings of the people, he even let Zhu Biao and others live in Fengyang for several years, so Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and others were very good.

However, later, Lao Zhu had more and more sons, and he was entangled by government affairs and had no time or energy to educate his son. This also led to the unevenness of the remaining sons, including talents like Zhu Zhen, who are both civil and military, and idiots like King Lu who are so absurd that he eats himself to death by taking pills.

Even the son is like this, let alone the grandson, which has also led to the Zhu family being worse than the previous generation. Most of the people arrested by Li Jie were the third generation of the Zhu family. These old Zhu also saw them. During this period, he also thought about how to solve this problem, but there was no good solution.

"Father, I am deeply convinced of Li Jie's words, especially when I saw the past of these people found in the clan's house, I felt very sad. So I discussed it with Li Jie just now and came up with a possible effective solution!" Zhu Biao finally spoke at this time.

"Let me tell me!" Old Zhu immediately showed an interesting expression when he heard Zhu Biao's words. He had no good idea about this matter and was embarrassed to discuss it with others. Now that Zhu Biao and Li Jie took the initiative to propose it, of course he also wanted to hear their opinions.

Li Jie and Zhu Biao looked at each other, and then Li Jie said, "Do you still remember how martial arts was started?"

"Martial Arts?" Old Zhu was stunned at first, then thought of something, and immediately spoke, "What do you mean by Tie Cejun?"

The predecessor of martial arts was actually Tie Cejun. Later, Tie Cejun was pulled to Goryeo by Mu Sheng, leaving only a group of playboys. In order to manage these playboys, he developed the martial arts later. Even until now, the descendants of the duke are still the biggest source of martial arts.

"Your Majesty is wise. What I am talking about is the Tie Ce Army. The Tie Ce Army had many playboys at the time, but now after martial arts training, they all entered the army one by one and performed quite well. I have something here, so please read it!" Li Jie said as he took out a document from his arms and sent it to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu took the document and opened it, but he saw it: "Fu Rang, the son of Duke Ying Guofu Youde, a student of the first-year martial arts class, graduated from Hongwu in the 28th year, entered the army and served as a hundred households, stationed in Taiyuan, and was promoted to the commander of the guard the following year..."

Li Jie gave Lao Zhu a list of martial arts students, and their performance in the army. Most of these people graduated from martial arts after nobles, but after entering the army, they all started as low-level officers. However, their performance in the army was very excellent, especially those assigned to the frontiers. Many of them made a lot of military achievements and were successfully promoted.

Of course, there are a few people who die on the battlefield, but whether they are alive or dead, these people are worthy of their status as martial arts students. Some of them are promoted faster, such as Fu Rang and others, who have become middle and high-level generals in the army and may become generals who are not inferior to their fathers in the future.

In addition to these noble children, there are also many students from military families. Most of them are selected from the army, sent to martial arts training, and then joined the army again, and performed well.

Lao Zhu looked through this list roughly and felt a little shocked. Li Jie told him the importance of martial arts, but it was far from the reality of this list. After all, these young people had grown to such a level just a few years after entering the army. When the veterans in the army retreated in the future, I am afraid that the generals in the entire army will be trainees from martial arts. No wonder Li Jie insisted that he and Zhu Biao be the nominal mountain chiefs of martial arts.
