Save the Bachelor of Heaven

When Zhao Min heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Her father and her brother were both talented generals, shrewd and capable, and commanded well. It was because of Emperor Yuan Shun's incompetence that he favored treacherous ministers and alienated virtuous ministers. As a result, neither her father nor her brother were reused, and instead fell into the vortex of power struggle.

Otherwise, the rebel army in the south would not develop so easily. And Yuan Ting's vitality will not be so depleted due to internal fighting.

In short, it's all fate.

"Now that I am entering the palace, can you promise me to forgive my father and brother's death penalty?" Zhao Min asked again.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Don't worry, times have changed, and I didn't want to kill them."

Although ancient wars were extremely cruel, they were often bloody and bloody. However, captured high-ranking generals, princes and ministers are usually not killed.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Feiyi released Yan Yan; during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Shimin recruited Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, and Qin Shubao; during the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin recruited Qian Jiao, the king of Wuyue Kingdom...

The reason for this is, on the one hand, to cherish talents. After all, talents are rare and will be gone if they are killed; on the other hand, it is to stabilize people's hearts. After all, they are all the masters of one party, and killing them is not conducive to winning people's hearts.

Just like in the early Tang Dynasty, Qin King Li Shimin killed Xia King Dou Jiande, which caused Dou Jiande's subordinate Liu Heitai to rebel against the Tang Dynasty again. It took more than two years to finally calm down.

However, the slogan of the Zhenwu Army is "Expel the Tartars and restore our rivers and mountains", and they always kill the Yuan people without mercy, so Zhao Min is worried that Xiang Nan will attack King Ruyang and Wang Baobao.

Now that Xiang Nan said that he never wanted to kill them, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded, "Now that Monan and Liaodong are owned by me, the Mongols there are also my people, so they must be treated equally. Otherwise, we will kill them all, and then we will stir up trouble." In the civil uprising, I don’t know how many people will be killed.”

After the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty, they divided the people under their rule into four classes. The first class are Mongols; the second class are Semu people; the third class are Han people; and the fourth class are Southerners.

The Yuan Dynasty prohibited Han people from riding horses, hunting, learning martial arts, holding weapons, gathering to worship gods, going to markets to trade, and even walking at night.

It is precisely because of a series of discriminatory policies that the Han people are resentful of the Mongols. That's why so many people responded positively once the banner of rebellion was raised.

It can be said that the reason why the Yuan Dynasty collapsed so quickly and Guo Zuo was less than a hundred years old was that this unequal hierarchy was one of the biggest inducements.

Zhao Min nodded after hearing what he said, and then said with emotion, "You really have an extraordinary mind. No wonder you were able to succeed in the end."

"If you don't even have such a big heart, what kind of emperor would you be?" Seeing her say this, Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.

…

"Hey, by the way, let me ask you something. Where has the Kudu Tuo beside you gone?" Xiang Nan suddenly asked again.

"How do you know there is a Kudu Tuo next to me?" Zhao Min was stunned when he heard this.

"Of course I have my own channels for information." Xiang Nan smiled, "I heard that his martial arts skills are extremely high, not inferior to those of Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming. I have never seen such a master, so naturally I am very curious."

"You are right. Master Ku is indeed very skilled in martial arts and has always been my most capable subordinate. It's a pity that five years ago, he suddenly left without saying goodbye. I don't know where he went," Zhao Min explained.

Xiang Nan nodded, feeling a little worried.

He knew that Ku Toutuo was Fan Yao, the Right Envoy of the Ming Sect. His martial arts were extremely high, second only to the two elders Xuan Ming, but above the likes of Jue Shitai, Fang Dongbai, and others, and probably not inferior to Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou.

Moreover, he has a very strong mind. In order to investigate the cause of Yang Dingtian's death, he was able to destroy his appearance, pretend to be mute, and stay undercover in Ruyang Prince's Palace for more than 20 years. It can be said that he has worked hard, is wise and courageous.

Such people are very dangerous. He is like a poisonous snake, he doesn't know when he will come out. Xiang Nan would feel a little knot in his heart every day he didn't see him arrested.

…

During this Northern Expedition, what surprised Xiang Nan was not only the defeat of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but also the book "Sunflower Collection" among the spoils captured.

It turns out that this book was taken to Northern Yuan Dynasty by Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty. It's great to be brought back now.

Xiang Nan then read through the book and saw the eunuch's description on the title page.

It turns out that he was a child of a noble family in the Southern Song Dynasty. Because of his family's financial difficulties, he had no choice but to join the palace as a eunuch. After entering the palace, he was assigned to work in the palace library. In order to relieve his loneliness, he always read books.

The books in the palace were collected by the emperor from all over the place, including many martial arts secrets. Out of curiosity, the eunuch practiced according to the secret manual, and unknowingly, he developed a highly skilled martial arts.

It's just that as a eunuch, he has no desires and needs, so his reputation in the world is not obvious. Before he died, he compiled what he had learned throughout his life into the "Sunflower Collection", hoping that future generations would know that there was such a person as him.

After reading the account, Xiang Nan couldn't help but feel emotional.

Sure enough, there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. There are many heroes in the world who are nameless and unknown.

If he hadn't deliberately searched for it, who in the world would have known that there was such a master in the world a hundred years ago.

Just like Monk Jueyuan, if it weren't for the fact that Yin Kexi and Xiaoxiangzi had stolen the "Lengjia Sutra" and he had to go out to recover it, I'm afraid the world would not know that there was such a master in Shaolin Temple.

Xiang Nan took another look at the contents of the "Sunflower Collection" and found that it indeed contained a lot more content than the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" he had found before.

In fact, "Evil Sword Techniques" is only a small part of "Sunflower Collection". It was created by Zen Master Hongye based on the "Sunflower Collection" memorized by Yue Su and Cai Zifeng of the Huashan School.

However, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng didn't remember much. After recounting it, Zen Master Hongye knew even less. Therefore, "Evil Sword Technique", compared to "Sunflower Collection", is estimated to only account for less than one-tenth.

The complete "Sunflower Collection" is naturally much better than "Evil Sword Techniques". After Xiang Nan took a quick look, he felt that it was very mysterious. Once practiced, the power should not be weaker than the "Nine Yin Manual" and "Nine Yang Divine Art".

Moreover, the complete "Sunflower Collection" does not require that one must enter the palace.

It just has strict requirements on the mind of the practitioners, requiring them to focus their minds and return to their origins, and to abandon all worldly worries and distractions, especially the inability to develop thoughts of enlightenment.

Because its internal power has a unique approach, it travels more foot-shaoyin kidney meridian, so the kidney water is strong and the desire is strong. Once activated, the desire to bathe will increase a hundredfold.

Therefore, the first step is to get rid of distracting thoughts and cut off desires. Otherwise, the blood will be boiling, the lust will be high, the body will be burned in the fire, and the person will become possessed.

But it is not easy to get rid of selfish thoughts. Not even one person among 100,000 people can do it. Therefore, it is more convenient and faster to go to the palace instead.

After all, the root of the disaster was directly cut off, and everything was resolved in one fell swoop.
