Feng Sheng on the boat was looking at Li Jie on the dock, and Li Jie was also looking at Feng Sheng on the boat. Li Jie also admired this great general with great military achievements, but Feng Sheng was older than he thought, and his face was also filled with a little depression. Obviously, his life has not been very satisfactory in recent years.

Feng Sheng and Tang He got off the boat together, and Zhu Biao also came forward to greet and greet him. Then Liu Ying and Li Jie also stepped forward separately, and Tang He even introduced Li Jie to Feng Sheng himself.

"The emperor Li Jie pays homage to Duke Song!" Li Jie also politely bowed to Feng Sheng.

"Li Bandu is so polite. I am a relative of Yihuihou. We are all family members in total!" Feng Sheng also smiled and said to Li Jie. In fact, he really wanted to say that their Feng family and the Li family are family friends. In fact, Li Jie is actually his grandchild, but the Li family is now full of death, and only Li Jie and others are left. It is not appropriate to say these things now.

After a few words of politeness, Zhu Biao invited Feng Sheng and Tang He to the palace together, and Li Jie and Liu Ying were also with him. However, after getting on the carriage, Tang He quietly came to Li Jie and whispered: "Boy, what's wrong with calling us back to Beijing?"

"Didn't Your Majesty say the imperial edict?" Li Jie was stunned when he heard this.

"If I say it, I still have to ask you?" Tang He said angrily. He was also worried along the way. Although he felt that it should not be a bad thing now, he was still worried.

"A great thing, Your Majesty wants you and Duke Song to serve in martial arts!" Li Jie explained with a smile.

"What is martial arts?" Tang He was stunned again when he heard this. There are not many people who know martial arts now, only some senior officials in the capital. For example, Tang and they live in Fengyang, so of course they have never heard of martial arts.

"The explanation of martial arts is very complicated. You will understand after entering the palace!" Li Jie whispered again. Martial arts cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences, and Lao Zhu will definitely tell them later that he will not have to talk.

Tang He finally felt relieved when he heard this. Although he didn't know what martial arts was, it must be a good thing. Thinking of the fear of being scared along the way, he couldn't help feeling worthless for himself. Unexpectedly, the older he was, the more courageous he was.

The group quickly entered the palace and then came to the warm room to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. Old Zhu was very happy to see Tang He and Feng Sheng, and immediately gave the two seats. Feng Sheng also learned from Tang He that going to Beijing was a good thing, so he relaxed at this time.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to the summoned ministers and others in the palace?" After chatting for a few words, Tang He took the initiative to ask. Although he already knew martial arts, he still had to pretend that he was completely unaware of it.

"I have something to leave to you this time. The court has been preparing for martial arts recently. There are few veterans who are proficient in military tactics and are highly virtuous and respectful to others. So I think of you!" Lao Zhu explained with a smile.

"What is martial arts?" Tang He finally asked the real question in his heart.

"Martial arts is actually the place to train military generals. This matter was proposed by Liu Ying and Li Jie and his nephew and uncle, and it was also planned by them. Why don't you let them explain it to you!" Old Zhu said, pointing to Liu Ying and Li Jie.

Li Jie wanted Liu Ying to speak after hearing this, but he was the only one who was learning the truth, but Liu Ying reached out and pushed him over because Liu Ying felt that Li Jie was more good at speaking and understood more clearly than what he said.

Li Jie had no choice but to speak out in detail about the origin of martial arts and the planning of martial arts.

Tang He and Feng Sheng first heard that martial arts were just from Tie Cejun, and both of them showed disappointment, especially Feng Sheng, whose son was in Tie Cejun, so of course he knew what Tie Cejun was.

However, as Li Jie told him, Tang He and Feng Sheng became more and more surprised. They were not only surprised by the importance of martial arts, but also by Li Jie and his ability to turn bad things into good things. Although the Tie Ce Army was just a disguised hostage, it has now become the cradle of the future generals of the Ming Dynasty, which was something they could never dream of.

"The current martial arts scale is still small, and it may not be a big deal. But please think, as more and more generals graduate from martial arts in the future, and even the generals in the entire army are almost all in martial arts. This is easier for Your Majesty to control the army in the world, and for the generals, it is easier to communicate with the generals. Not to mention anything else, the cooperation between the army is absolutely no problem!" Li Jie concluded again in the end.

The Ming army seemed to be one, but in fact it was divided into multiple factions, especially each general had his own set of training methods. Therefore, the Ming army may have a huge gap between them, and even when they jointly sent troops, they may not be able to cooperate. Martial arts solved this problem, because the emergence of martial arts will definitely set a standard for the army.

"This is good, but I heard that there are many noble children in the Tiece Army who are unintentional to train. These families have a wealth of families. Even if they don't learn martial arts, they can still get a good position in the army, right?" Feng Sheng raised his own questions at this time. These were all learned from the letters written by his son.

"Don't worry about this. I have issued an order. In the future, if the nobles want to join the army, they must enter the martial arts school and pass the final assessment before they can join the army!" Lao Zhu next to him answered at this time.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Feng Sheng nodded immediately in agreement when he heard this. With Lao Zhu's words, he blocked a loophole in the army, and the prospects for martial arts became clearer.

"Now Liu Ying is the master of martial arts, and Li Jie is the master of martial arts. But there are still two chief instructors missing in martial arts. I think you two are good, how about you? Are you interested?" Lao Zhu asked Tang He and Feng Sheng with a smile again.

"If the court needs it, I should devote myself to my own efforts!" Tang He said first, "Just, Lao Zhu personally asked about their opinions. Who dares to say he is unwilling?"

"I am willing to go to the martial arts school to serve!" Feng Sheng quickly agreed. He had been unsuccessful in recent years, and even seemed to be imprisoned. Now he has the opportunity to come out again, so he will certainly not miss it. Moreover, the prospects for martial arts are quite good. If it is done, then he and Tang He will definitely make a great contribution.

The most important thing is that although martial arts is important, it does not directly command the troops, thus avoiding Lao Zhu's suspicion of him. In addition, he can also regain freedom, which is extremely important to Feng Sheng, so he has no reason to refuse.

"Very good. Since you have no objection, then go back and prepare. After the New Year, you will go to the martial arts school to work!" Old Zhu waved his hand and said again. Today is New Year's Eve, and it is useless to ask them to work in the martial arts school immediately.

Tang He and Feng Sheng agreed, and Liu Ying and Li Jie also came forward to greet each other. After all, we will be colleagues in the future and we still need to cooperate with each other. In addition, although Li Jie and Liu Ying seem to have higher positions than the two veterans, the chief instructor in martial arts is in charge of practice and learning. It can be said that the entire martial arts are the core.

In fact, Li Jie and Liu Ying are more like administrative personnel in martial arts. They are only responsible for providing better teaching conditions for martial arts. Tang He and Feng Sheng are the ones who are actually in charge of teaching. Of course, Li Jie and others can also put forward some of their own opinions. As for whether to adopt it, it depends on the attitude of the two.

It was getting late, and Tang He and Feng Sheng came from afar and didn't have time to rest. In addition, it was New Year's Eve again, so Lao Zhu waved his hand and asked them to go down.

Li Jie originally wanted to leave with Liu Ying because he had already agreed to go to Liu Ying's house to stay up to the New Year, but he didn't expect that Lao Zhu suddenly called him and said, "Li Jie, stay!"

"I? Yes!" Li Jie was stunned at first, then stopped and stood aside. Liu Ying looked at him and had to leave first.

Zhu Biao didn't leave either. He was surprised to see Li Jie staying. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and said, "Father, this is the New Year, should I ask someone to hold a banquet and call Yunwen and Yunyou to come and have fun?"

"No, you are also a family member. Go back and prepare now, don't let them wait for a long time!" Old Zhu waved his hand again, clearly letting Zhu Biao leave.

Zhu Biao also showed helplessness when he heard this. Since his mother passed away, his father has never been in the New Year's Eve dinner with his children and grandchildren. He has advised him more than once in recent years, but his father did not listen at all.

"Then Li Jie..." Zhu Biao pointed at Li Jie at this time, and he was about to leave. Why did Li Jie stay and celebrate the New Year with him. After all, Li Jie is his prospective son-in-law, and it is time for him to meet his family.

"He keeps it, I have something to let him do!" Lao Zhu said again. Zhu Biao and Li Jie were both stunned now, especially Li Jie. Could Lao Zhu let himself accompany him to celebrate the New Year?

"This...yes!" Zhu Biao had no choice but to give Li Jie a look of self-seeking blessings, and then turned around and left the warm cabinet.

Everyone else left, and only Li Jie and Lao Zhu were left in the warm room. However, Lao Zhu ignored him at this time and began to deal with the memorials on the case. Since he abolished the prime minister, more and more affairs needed to be handled by him personally. Fortunately, Lao Zhu was extremely energetic, otherwise it would have been impossible for ordinary people to withstand it.

Lao Zhu was concentrating on handling the memorial. As time went by, Li Jie felt uncomfortable. Lao Zhu just said that he had something to do, but he had been waiting for so long, but he didn't say anything, which made Li Jie feel anxious and even a little nervous. After all, Lao Zhu's thoughts were too difficult to guess. God knows what he wants to keep him to do?

I don’t know how long it took, but Lao Zhu finally finished processing the pile of memoirs on the desk. Then he finally put down the red pen in his hand, stretched his waist, stood up and moved a few times, then looked up at Li Jie and said, “I heard from the prince that you have good cooking skills?”

"Your Majesty, I only know how to cook a few home-cooked dishes, and my cooking skills are far from comparable to those of the imperial chefs in the palace!" Li Jie answered honestly, but his heart was full of doubts. Lao Zhu asked what he did, did he want him to cook?
