The number one rebel of the Great Wu

At this point, Xiao Jingtian had already developed a fondness for talent.

He is currently in the prime of his life, and if he wanted to, he could sit on the dragon throne for another ten or twenty years without any problem.

Since we have such talented people, why not hand them over to us and train them properly?

That way, no matter who I pass the throne to in the future, I'll always have a capable assistant to help me out.

But Xiao Jingtian also knew very well that Chen Changgeng's words meant he wanted to keep a low profile.

However, in Xiao Jingtian's view, this was just Chen Changgeng's temporary statement.

After all, Crown Prince Xiao Lie's current status is special, and if he is too high-profile, he is likely to attract death.

"I am very pleased that Lie'er has someone like you to assist him."

"You probably deserve a lot of credit for his current situation."

"He's still young; you can't let him take the lead in everything. You should give him more guidance!"

Xiao Jingtian looked at Chen Changgeng with a smile.

Chen Changgeng looked up, about to answer, when he suddenly froze, realizing that Xiao Jingtian was reminding him.

The instruction was to restrain the Crown Prince first, preventing him from causing too much of a disturbance.

So she smiled gently.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is currently confined to his residence and has not even left his room."

He said it was self-imposed because although he made a big joke at the birthday banquet, which led Xiao Jingtian to directly depose him from his position as crown prince.

However, he never actually issued an edict ordering Xiao Lie to stay home.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingtian understood and nodded with relief.

"The loyal will be rewarded."

"I see that you are too thin and weak. If you want to assist the emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty in the future, you will need to be in good health."

"Come, let me teach you a set of boxing techniques."

"This set of boxing techniques was created by me and has the effect of strengthening the body."

Xiao Jingtian dusted off his clothes and stood up.

Chen Changgeng raised an eyebrow and immediately realized that Xiao Jingtian was referring to the Tai Chi-like thing he had just practiced.

That boxing style can indeed improve physical health, but it's still a level below Tai Chi.

At this moment, Chen Changgeng was hesitating whether or not to reveal this skill.

"Watch closely, I'll only demonstrate this once. Whether you learn it or not depends on your own comprehension!"

Xiao Jingtian stepped forward and began to slowly practice his moves.

Since this was a "reward" for Chen Changgeng, he naturally gave Chen Changgeng ample room to learn.

After completing the set of moves, Chen Changgeng had mastered the entire routine.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time."

Just as Xiao Jingtian stopped, Eunuch Sun came up and whispered a reminder.

Xiao Jingtian tilted his head slightly and waved his hand.

"It's okay if it's later tonight, come on, you can try it."

"Before I set off, I'll give you some more pointers."

Chen Changgeng scratched his head and walked up with a stiff upper lip.

Chen Changgeng learned Tai Chi in college and even joined the Tai Chi club.

Later, I met an elderly man in the neighborhood who loved practicing Tai Chi, and I learned from him for a few years.

Although Chen Changgeng may not be considered a master, his level of Tai Chi is still very high.

Xiao Jingtian's boxing style was originally seven parts similar to Tai Chi.

With the help of his long-standing muscle memory, Chen Changgeng revealed his weakness after only three moves.

At first, Xiao Jingtian merely frowned.

As an emperor who founded the country on horseback, he naturally had a good foundation in martial arts.

In his view, it was only natural that most people should be able to remember most of it after reading it once.

Seeing that Chen Changgeng had made several mistakes before even starting, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But as Chen Changgeng's actions became increasingly strange, Xiao Jingtian felt a slight jolt in his heart.

He couldn't help but start imitating Chen Changgeng's movements.

Question marks kept popping into my mind.

"Yes, that's definitely possible!"

"It seems better if it's modified like this!"

"This fist technique combines strength and gentleness, achieving a perfect harmony that surpasses even my own!"

"What's going on? Did this kid misread it or what?"

"Could it have been accidentally caused just now?"

After Chen Changgeng finished his set of boxing techniques, he made five or six mistakes, and looked at Xiao Jingtian with an embarrassed expression.

"I'm sorry, I'm not very talented and haven't mastered the essence of His Majesty's boxing techniques."

"I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The eunuch Sun, who was standing beside him, did not notice that Xiao Jingtian was savoring the moment and remained silent.

He assumed that Xiao Jingtian was angry, so he immediately gave a soft shout.

"You insolent servant! This is a technique created by His Majesty himself. It's one thing if you can't learn it, but how dare you alter it without permission?"

"Isn't this an insult to the Emperor's dignity!"

"Hurry up and kneel down to apologize!"

Eunuch Sun wasn't trying to make things difficult for Chen Changgeng; on the contrary, based on his experience in the palace, he was trying to protect Chen Changgeng.

"Huh? Oh! Hmm!"

Xiao Jingtian was startled awake by Eunuch Sun's soft shout and quickly waved his hand.

"No need. Chen Changgeng, right? I found your fist technique a bit strange just now."

"Some of the moves were quite obscure, as if they were changed halfway through the fight."

"Have you studied other styles of boxing?"

Chen Changgeng's Tai Chi Chuan didn't involve any actual boxing, but these few small modifications were enough to whet Xiao Jingtian's appetite.

Since Eunuch Sun didn't understand martial arts, he naturally couldn't comprehend the subtleties involved.

"Yes, Your Majesty, when I was a child, an old man in the mountains taught me a boxing technique."

"It is said that it also has the effect of strengthening the body."

"I practiced that boxing style a lot when I was a child, but I gradually forgot it as I grew up."

"When I saw His Majesty's boxing technique just now, my body moved involuntarily."

Chen Changgeng lowered his head.

Grandpa Sun's expression changed drastically.

He never expected Chen Changgeng to be so bold.

They even dared to say such blasphemous things.

Does he mean that the boxing style created by the emperor himself is an imitation of others and is suspected of plagiarism?

How many heads do they have to say that?!

Little did they know, Xiao Jingtian was not angry but pleased.

"Really? It must have been a hermit who taught you that."

"Since it bears some resemblance to my own style of boxing, I'm becoming increasingly interested!"

"Come, come, show me the call!"

Chen Changgeng scratched his head.

"I can't remember clearly, and it will probably take some time for me to recall."

"I'm afraid this will delay the Emperor's schedule."

Actually, Chen Changgeng still had his own selfish motives at this point.

There's no point in hiding your Tai Chi skills; you might as well show them off openly.

Xiao Jingtian looks like someone who loves martial arts. If we can use this to pique his interest...

This also gave him an extra trump card to save his life.

Xiao Jingtian will soon be preparing for his southern tour. During this time, he will definitely be thinking about this matter every day, and he will also ask people to ensure his safety.

Little did they know, Xiao Jingtian was in high spirits this time and waved his hand dismissively.

"Eunuch Sun, go and tell those people to postpone it again."

"I'll wait here for him to come up with an answer. If he can't think of one today, he can think of one tomorrow

"If he can't come up with an answer by tomorrow, he can try the day after. I insist on waiting until he does before I go on my southern tour!"

Grandpa Sun's expression changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

"This is a matter of national importance; it cannot be treated lightly!"

Chen Changgeng was also dumbfounded.

Bro, stop messing around!

If you really think that this is because you postponed the southern tour, then the Third Prince, who was originally happily coming to oversee the country, found that I had delayed him.

He'll kill me!
