Emperor Jing was in a state of confusion.
His face turned pale and blue.
To say that using some dirty tricks on the battlefield is not a bad thing, but a good thing.
After all, nothing is excessive as long as it increases the soldiers' chances of survival.
But the current occasion is a competition, not a battlefield, so why is that guy called Zhao Lie just going to the lower three roads?
It seems that none of the two hundred people is a serious person.
Originally, I wanted to see if they were all strong and healthy and select a group of them to enter the palace.
Now that they were playing such a disgusting game in public, Emperor Jing was a little embarrassed.
Especially looking at Ren Hua who was still trembling slightly on the ground.
"Your Majesty, do you think they have any shortcomings? I will ask them to make some corrections." Fang Zhengyi asked.
"This..." Emperor Jing hesitated.
There's really nothing to point out.
They are all patriotic, strong, disciplined, and skilled in martial arts... but it is not the case if we don't say it.
"Hey! Fang Qing, today is a martial arts competition. These people are in good shape. But... Kung Fu should be practiced seriously. Some things are just minor skills after all. We need to lay a solid foundation."
In the end, the big boss squeezed out some meaningless nonsense just to save face.
As soon as these words were spoken, the civil servants followed suit and criticized. After all, Zhao Lie played too dirty and his fighting was not pretty at all!
When Zhang Biao plotted against Heishan Chilie, everyone was disgusted. No one expected that everyone from Taoyuan County was exactly the same.
Someone immediately criticized: "Master Fang, today we are competing in a martial arts competition, we should be fair and square, how can you use such a dirty trick?"
Zhang Dongxiang said with disdain: "This is what a villain does. The Jinyiwei is supposed to protect your majesty and do things uprightly. Today's victory is indeed a bit unfair."
My eldest and second uncles nodded immediately.
You want to play dirty, right? Then you have to consider the occasion!
Fang Zheng showed a look of disdain, and as he glanced at everyone, he said, "Everyone, they were originally trained to rescue the battlefield. On the battlefield, there is no need to talk about being upright. It's only about life and death, success or failure."
"Besides, these are just means, how can they be called obscene?"
"Two armies are facing each other. Could it be that the opponent has set a trap and we have to step into it obediently? Today, Ren Hua is inferior to others in skills. He has practiced martial arts for so many years, but he didn't even have this little vigilance. No wonder he was defeated!"
Li Yansong frowned and said, "No! This is a competition, not a battlefield."
Emperor Jing did not interrupt, but watched them bickering with interest.
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "Lord Li, there are no pre-set rules for this fight. Moreover, the Jinyiwei is responsible for protecting His Majesty and guarding the city gates."
"Once an unexpected situation occurs, we will inevitably face extremely vicious and unscrupulous people, so being able to respond flexibly is the most important thing."
Li Yansong said helplessly: "But if you act like this in the future, it might affect your majesty's dignity if it happens in public."
"How can these people shoulder the responsibility of the Imperial Guard in the future?"
The others all nodded vigorously, but Emperor Jing remained calm.
Seeing that Emperor Jing had no reaction, Fang Zheng said, "Your Majesty, everyone knows that I am a straightforward person, and the people I bring up are inevitably a little too forthright."
"They are just a bunch of warriors with low education. All they think about is serving their country and not caring about other unimportant things, so it is understandable that their fight was ugly."
"Although what you said makes some sense, I still think that they are too bookish and not suitable for military management."
Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I think what they said makes sense. Why are you so angry?"
Fang Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "I think the officials in the court are overthinking things. If you think too much, you will easily take a detour."
A group of old officials sneered, "Master Fang, please tell me how we took the wrong path?"
Fang Zhengyi didn't waste any words. He turned around, walked to a captain, drew a sword, and walked quickly towards Li Yansong.
Li Yansong's face turned pale: "Master Fang, please talk nicely!"
Others also hurriedly began to persuade him: "Master Fang, there is no need to resort to violence even if you can't win the argument. You are also a civil official! Don't you have any sense at all?"
Emperor Jing frowned and asked, "Fang Zhengyi, what are you going to do?"
Fang Zheng held the sword horizontally in front of Li Yansong and said, "Mr. Li, what is this?"
Seeing that he had no other intentions, Li Yansong felt relieved and asked in confusion, "It's a sword, what's wrong?"
"What is a sword?"
"The sword is a gentleman's weapon, an upright weapon, and a blade that would rather break than bend." Li Yansong answered without hesitation.
"Do you all think so too?" Fang Zhengyi asked the others while holding the sword.
The others nodded immediately.
Fang Zheng smiled, took the sword and walked to Zhang Biao and asked, "What is this?"
"It's a sword." Zhang Biao said honestly.
"If it's not called a sword, what is it called?"
"Iron sheet."
Everyone is silent. You ask him what he is doing, and you can tell at a glance that guy has a head full of wisdom.
Calling a sword an iron sheet is simply a disgrace. Is that the point? Why don't you use an iron sheet to fight?
Fang Zhengyi put away his sword and said proudly, "Did you hear that? That's it. A warrior's thinking is straightforward and gets to the essence."
"A sword is just a tool, but countless scholars and writers throughout history have attached all kinds of truths to it."
"Martial artists are also influenced by literati. Some martial arts are clearly techniques for killing people, but they are given all sorts of inexplicable life philosophies. This deviates from the essence, and this leads to many people beating around the bush in their actions."
