The Martial Restriction Edict indeed imposed constraints on the forces of Jianghu, but also limited the growth of the Jianghu Martial Artists.
There are pros and cons, but overall the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
And at the time of pushing the Martial Restriction Edict, the court also made great efforts. Dozens of sects from the worldly society were dismantled, and a large number of Martial Artists were hunted down.
At that time, Emperor Chengping stabilized the court politics, resolving the trouble caused by the nobility group, and managed to deter the Jianghu by mobilizing elite border army troops.
Could it be time to mobilize the elite border army again?
Emperor Yanping shook his head, there was no need for that, after all, the forces of Jianghu within Da Rong nowadays were far from what they were thirty years ago.
