The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 3 Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Talent
"Giggle."

There was another round of joyful laughter. Zhu Houzhao looked at the meridian map for a few seconds, looked away with a little disdain, and waved his hand: "This prince will learn boxing first."

"Yes." Liu Jin and the other two responded.

"I will demonstrate my boxing skills to His Majesty." Cao Zhengchun seemed to be impatient. As he spoke, he took a few steps back and began to practice.

The somewhat fat body was unusually agile at this moment; every move, punch and kick was steady, powerful, smooth and natural, and very beautiful to look at.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes immediately brightened.

"The boxing technique used by the prince is called Luohan Fist, which is the entry-level boxing technique of Shaolin Temple and can be said to have been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations.

It is an excellent choice for those who are new to martial arts.

It can help you, the prince, activate your meridians, strengthen your body, and lay a more solid foundation. " Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was interested, Liu Jin explained in a low voice.

"My Lord, this move is called the Master's Bow.

This move is like holding the moon in your arms, this is like a white tiger washing its face...
Cao Zhengchun, please slow down, the prince is watching you." Cao Youxiang followed up with the explanation.

As he said this, he glared at Cao Zhengchun loudly.

Cao Zhengchun's body froze, and he wished he could slap those two guys away with two slaps. If I do the work, you two can please me.

Then he slapped himself hard.

Why didn’t you think of explaining while playing?

These two guys got the upper hand again.

"No need to go slowly. What's so good about being slow? How can this prince not see clearly?" Zhu Houzhao said carelessly and confidently.

"That's right, the prince has a sharp eye, and nothing in the world can escape the prince's eyes." Liu Jin's praise arrived at the same time.

Zhu Houzhao looked at it proudly, waving his hands and feet, and began to imitate the gestures.

Cao Zhengchun took the opportunity to say loudly: “My Lord, this old servant of mine has three styles of boxing for you to choose from.

This is the Luohan Fist's pulling onions out of mud, pushing down the wall, stepping up to pull onions out of mud, stepping up to wrench, smashing with a thousand pounds, right elbow collapse, left elbow collapse, fairy picking eggplants..."

"My Lord, this is the Dragon Tiger Palm from the Taoist Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The effect of laying the foundation is half as good as Arhat Fist.

Erlang carries the mountain, meteors chase the moon, dragons soar and tigers roar..."

Cao Zhengchun demonstrated seriously.

With his martial arts skills, even if he didn't concentrate on practicing, he would naturally have no problem demonstrating this basic boxing technique.

Zhu Houzhao gestured with great interest.

After Cao Zhengchun finished demonstrating the Dragon Tiger Fist, Liu Jin took the opportunity to say, "Prince, in addition to these two boxing techniques, there is another set of boxing techniques that is most effective..."

"The best effect. Of course this prince must learn the best." Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation without waiting for Liu Jin to finish.

“My Lord, this style of boxing is easy to learn but difficult to master for others.

Of course, the prince is gifted beyond compare and will naturally learn it quickly.

It's just that the movements are a bit slow, so I'm afraid it won't look that good." Liu Jin said tactfully.

"Then let's call and see first." Zhu Houzhao said with a little hesitation.

"Yes." Cao Zhengchun responded and started fighting. These three sets of boxing techniques had been decided long ago and all three of them knew them.

"My Lord, this boxing technique is called Tai Chi Thirteen Forms, and it was created by Master Zhang of Wudang when he was young and roamed the world.

Later, in order to strengthen the martial arts foundation for beginners, it was improved several times and became the best foundation-building boxing method in the world.

However, it is easy to learn but difficult to master. If you don't practice it to a deep level, the effect will be worse than Dragon Tiger Palm and Arhat Fist.

This old servant called for you."

"Starting posture, holding the ball posture, single push posture, probing posture, supporting posture, attacking posture, carrying posture, dividing posture, cloud posture, transforming posture, double push posture, descending posture, closing posture."

Cao Zhengchun slowly finished his training.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flickered, as if hesitating: "It seems that there are not many moves in the Thirteen Tai Chi Forms."

"Yes, it does have the fewest moves among the three styles of boxing." Liu Jin understood and confirmed.

"Well, if this prince wants to learn something, of course I'd rather learn the strongest one. So let's try the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi first." Zhu Houzhao said seriously.

"Yes, I will take you to practice, Your Highness." Liu Jin said respectfully.

"I will watch from the side and fill in the gaps." Cao Youxiang said immediately.

Cao Zhengchun opened his mouth, unable to breathe, these two bastards.

Liu Jin and Cao Youxiang glanced at Cao Zhengchun from the corner of their eyes, with a hint of disdain flashing across their eyes.

He is not good at speaking and is always a little slow.

Who can be blamed for this?

"My lord, please follow me and memorize the moves first. Then you can learn the essentials of the thirteen Tai Chi moves." Liu Jin led Zhu Houzhao to learn.

"Your Highness is amazing! You memorized the three moves so quickly! When I was a teenager, I knew nothing."

"Your Highness is truly amazing. This move is even more precise than mine."

"Giggle!"

····
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang's eyes lit up, and his tone was full of expectation: "The prince chose Tai Chi Thirteen Forms!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has chosen the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi and is currently learning it." An ordinary eunuch said from below.

Zhu Youtang waved his hand, and the eunuch disappeared silently, as if he had merged with the shadow in the corner.

The Thirteen Tai Chi Postures test one's comprehension talent and also help one comprehend the Ming Shen Wu Dian.

The meridian map is complicated and cumbersome, which is what Zhaoer dislikes the most. It is a good test of Zhaoer's perseverance.

Zhao'er, let father see how far you can go.
If you can surprise your father again...
There was anticipation in Zhu Youtang's eyes.

After an hour or so.

He memorized all the thirteen moves one by one. After he had roughly memorized all thirteen moves, Zhu Houzhao followed Liu Jin and performed the thirteen Tai Chi moves in full for the first time. Liu Jin and the other two then began to praise him.

"That's not difficult." Zhu Houzhao chuckled proudly. "Your Highness is a natural talent, so it's certainly not difficult for you."

"Yes, the prince is the best!"

"I think so too."

Zhu Houzhao was smiling with his head up, but suddenly, his little face was startled.

Tai Chi Thirteen Postures (Not yet started: 0/100)

Familiar font.

That year, when he was following an old man to demonstrate, a line of words like this appeared. He didn't take it seriously, and later stopped demonstrating and never saw it again.

How come this thing appeared again?

"Did you see it?" Zhu Houzhao pointed with his little hand at the line of words in the upper front.

Liu Jin and the other two looked over and saw nothing.

Suddenly, they became alert instinctively, sensing all directions with all their might.

When their eyes met, they both shook their heads slightly, not noticing.

"Prince, what did you see?" Liu Jin asked carefully.

“You all can’t see that, as expected, this prince is the most powerful and was born to do great things.

This is the talent of this prince, ha ha ha ~!" Zhu Houzhao was even happier when he saw that they could not see it but he could.

He is indeed the most powerful one.

Liu Jin and the other two looked at each other, somewhat confused.

But I've gotten used to it. The prince has been different from others since he was young and he is quite independent.

They don’t understand what I say many times, so they just get used to it.

And it doesn't stop them from bragging.

"The prince is the most talented one in the world. He is a true dragon descended to earth and the son of destiny. Naturally, we old servants cannot look him in the face." Liu Jin said first.

"The prince has the talents of a dragon and a phoenix. When he was born, he was greeted with auspicious signs. He is the reincarnation of a saint, and is destined to unify all the kingdoms." Cao Youxiang said with a smile.

Cao Zhengchun's mouth felt a little dry. How come the words he was thinking of were all said by these two bastards?

He did not dare to hesitate or pause in front of the prince, and blurted out the familiar words: "This old servant thinks so too."

Liu Jin and Cao Youxiang looked at him with contempt.

Cao Zhengchun's face turned red, he was angry and annoyed, but he could only lower his head.

Zhu Houzhao didn't notice any of this. He just laughed happily and waved his hand: "Continue practicing."

"Yes."

It takes about a cup of tea (ten minutes) to complete a complete set of thirteen Tai Chi moves.

Liu Jin and the other two praised him as usual. Zhu Houzhao blinked and felt that he knew a little about how to practice the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi.

I subconsciously looked forward and upward, and as soon as I thought about it, the line of words appeared.

After looking at it for a few times, Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that this thing was actually reflecting his progress in martial arts training!

It doesn’t look very powerful, but it’s okay. I can always see how far he has reached in his training.
Thinking of this, he became happy again and felt that this thing was very good.

Well, it is worthy of this prince’s talent!
Practice again.

Another cup of tea passed, and after completing the thirteen Tai Chi moves, Zhu Houzhao felt that he had learned something new and looked at his talent.

Tai Chi Thirteen Postures (Not yet started: 2/100)

He couldn't help but laugh and added a little more.

carry on.

Afterwards, after each practice, Zhu Houzhao would take a look at his talent, and when he saw that it had increased a little, he would continue to practice happily.

Over and over again, Zhu Houzhao enjoyed it.

Liu Jin and the other two looked on in amazement.

They have watched the prince grow up since he was a child, and apart from playing around, they have never seen the prince be so serious and persistent about something.

But I was happy about it in my heart.

They have long been tied to the prince, and the more powerful the prince is, the better they are.

More than half an hour later.

"Prince, why don't you take a break? It's almost time for lunch." Liu Jin said a little worriedly.

Although the thirteen Tai Chi postures lay the foundation and are beneficial to the body, they cannot be practiced all the time.

Especially since the prince is still young.

If the prince didn't look tired at all, he would not have asked but given direct suggestions.

"I am not tired, so I won't rest." Zhu Houzhao said without thinking, and after a pause, he said, "Serve the meal first."

"Yes."

After a while, after eating lunch in big mouthfuls, Zhu Houzhao raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his mouth with his exquisite sleeve, and then he couldn't wait to continue practicing.

This training lasted until the evening.

Liu Jin and others tried to persuade Zhu Houzhao to take a break several times, but it was useless.

If they had not secretly checked his body every once in a while and found nothing serious, they would have gone to report to His Majesty and stop the prince.

It was a rare occasion that he did not go to the Qianqing Palace to have dinner with his father because Zhu Houzhao felt tired. He finished his meal in a daze, and was washed by several palace maids in a daze. He was already fast asleep.

At night, Zhu Youtang came to the East Palace in person.

After listening to the most detailed report from Liu Jin and the other two, Zhu Youtang looked at his son with some heartache.
