Chapter 39: Your Majesty Should Be on the King's Road (Asking for Recommendation Votes and Collections)

Qin Liangyu got out of the carriage and looked at Wang Chengen, who was in the lead. She entered Beijing before King Qin was still in the first year of the Apocalypse, and for seven years, she didn't know Wang Chengen, who was still not famous at that time.

Just as he was about to ask, Wang Chengen stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mrs. Ma, please, the emperor has been waiting for a while." ”

Qin Liangyu's face changed slightly, and when he looked up, he saw a young man with a jade tree in the wind not far away, looking at them with a smile.

I can't guess where I can't guess, this will naturally not be fake, Qin Liangyu looked at Zhu Youzhen and said, "Quick, please take me there!"

As he spoke, he strode towards Zhu Youzhen, Qin Liangyu rushed to Zhu Youzhen, and was about to kneel on one knee to "order the woman......"

Zhu Youzhen walked over quickly, grabbed her, and said, "The old general, please get up, all of them are exempt!"

Although Qin Liangyu is a woman, she is over fifty, but she has been on the battlefield for a long time, her cultivation is extremely high, and her personality is resolute, Zhu Youzhen can't stop her at all, she still knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Wife Qin Liangyu, knock on the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Qin Liangyu was extremely apprehensive in his heart. Let the emperor go out of the city for ten miles to greet him, let alone a few decades ago, even if it is the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no one, right?

Zhu Youzhen looked at Qin Liangyu's back, even if he knelt there, it was like heavy snow pressing down on a green pine, and the green pine was straight and straight.

and as straight as a spear, awe-inspiring as not to be offended.

Zhu Youzhen's heart was stirred, this is the heroine in history, unprecedented, proud of ancient and modern, admired by people and gods!

Zhu Youjian was excited, stretched out his hands again, helped Qin Liangyu up, and said with a smile: "General Qin doesn't have to be like this, flat up." ”

Qin Liangyu stood up at this time, she was eight feet tall, standing there, like a mountain, invisibly giving people pressure.

Even Zhu Youzhen felt a trace of pressure, but fortunately, he still remembered that he was the emperor, and looked at Qin Liangyu with a smile on his face.

Qin Liangyu's soft armor is heroic and cool, far better than ordinary men, with a dusty face and a strong and cold color unique to soldiers.

"Come," Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath, smiled and waved his hand, "I have prepared some drinks for General Qin to wash the dust." ”

Qin Liangyu raised his hand and was about to refuse, but Zhu Youzhen grabbed his hand and took a step, so he had to follow into the pavilion.

Zhu Youzhen took the lead in sitting down, picked up the wine, turned over the two glasses, and poured wine for the two glasses one by one.

Qin Liangyu was also a little puzzled, and stood still.

Zhu You checked the good wine, sat there, looked at Qin Liangyu and said with a smile: "Sit, others are not qualified, General Qin definitely has, sit!"

Qin Liangyu has been quietly looking at Zhu Youzhen, seeing that he has always looked stable, without the slightest pretentiousness, he is grateful, and raised his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, the ministers are all doing their duty as courtiers, how dare they invite credit, please don't praise the emperor too much." ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "The old general sits in the southwestern provinces, and his contribution is very great, I summoned General Qin to Beijing this time, in addition to wanting to meet the old general in person, to show the attention and gratitude of the imperial court."

There is also the fact that the capital has been a little unstable recently, and the Golden Demon Clan will soon be in the city.

When the time comes, General Qin will need to contribute, and my life can be entrusted to you. ”

Qin Liangyu looked at Zhu Youzhen, looked at his face, looked at his eyes, and watched his movements. She fought in the north and south, read countless people, how could she not distinguish the true from the false, and her heart was also very moved, and she raised her hand and said: "The ministers should be loyal to their duties, dare not slack off, do their best to protect the capital, and fight for Your Majesty on the battlefield." ”

After Qin Liangyu finished speaking, he sat down opposite Zhu Youzhen.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen breathe a sigh of relief, picked up his wine glass and said: "The Ma family guards the southwest, works hard, treats the people of the southwest provinces, replaces wine with tea, and respects the old general, don't get up!"

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he fell on his back.

Qin Liangyu held his wine glass, bowed down and said, "The minister is ordered, loyal to his duties, don't dare to be!"

Zhu Youzhen picked up the wine jug, poured it for Qin Liangyu, poured it for himself, and raised his glass again, "The Ma family originated from General Fubo, after being loyal to Liang, the ancestors of the Ma family have been three generations old, and they have fought in the south and north for the Ming court, pacified the world, and respected the old general!"

Qin Liangyu picked up the wine glass and said: "This is the duty of the minister, you can't do your duty, the Ma family is ashamed of the court!"

Zhu Youzhen poured it again, and said with a solemn face: "This third cup is that I want to respect the old general." Since I ascended the throne, there have been countless deceptives, but only the old generals have done their best.

I didn't see the slightest contempt, his words were sincere, for the country and the people, it can be seen that the old general's style and bones, I, three respect for the old general!"

Qin Liangyu's face was moved, he stood up, held the teacup, and said in a deep voice: "The Ma family is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is willing to be the emperor, and he is willing to be the emperor and my Daming Sheji, and the body is broken and the horse leather is shrouded!"

Zhu Youzhen also stood up slowly, looking at Qin Liangyu, this general has been fighting horses all his life, serving the country all his life, loyal all his life, and working hard, respectable and respectable.

He held the teacup and said in a deep voice: "The old general will live a long life and be blessed with good health and happiness!"

In the Shili Pavilion, Zhu Youzhen chatted with Qin Liangyu for an hour, and then he was ready to return to the palace.

Zhu Youzhen pulled Qin Liangyu in a carriage and explained to her a series of his reform intentions, including military and government, and some in detail.

Qin Liangyu listened carefully, and gradually showed admiration, praising Zhu Xu for having the 'style of Taizu and Taizong'.

After Zhu Youzhen was modest, he talked about Huang Taiji outside the capital and expressed his worries.

Qin Liangyu didn't say anything, along the way, Zhu Youzhen was talking, and she was listening carefully.

There are some things that she can empathize with, such as military reform, gathering military power, and strictly training the army, so that it is like an arm and has the effect of stabilizing the world.

Another example is the upcoming reform of salt administration, commercial tax ideas, so that the treasury is full.

......

Zhu Youzhen happily returned to the palace and did not rest. Wei Zhongxian came in and said, "Your Majesty, the old Han Huang of the front cabinet asks to see you!"

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he knew that there was absolutely nothing good about Han Huang coming here, and his good mood suddenly disappeared.

But after all, the other party is an old man, and Zhu Youzhen is not easy to see. So he said indifferently: "Let him in." ”

After Han Huang came in, he also knew that this faint monarch did not want to see him, so he directly stated his purpose, he wanted to see if the new monarch was still saved.

Han Huang said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the Ming monarch has been benevolent, and the holy monarch should follow the royal road. ”

Zhu Youzhen said calmly: "Oh, Elder Han Ge, may I ask what is the royal road?"

Han Huang said: "The one who pretends to be benevolent with strength is the tyrant, and the one who is benevolent with virtue is the king."

Mencius said: "Those who pretend to be benevolent with strength will be hegemonic, and there will be great powers;

The soup is seventy miles, and the king of Wen is a hundred miles. Those who convince others with their strength are not convinced, and they are not supported by their strength;

Those who convince people with virtue will be happy and sincere in the center, such as Confucius in the service of the seventy sons. ”

Translations:

He who uses force under the guise of righteousness can be the king, and the king of benevolence can be the king of virtue.

Mencius said: "Those who use force to pretend to be benevolent and righteous can become hegemonic, so hegemony must be a great power;

Tang is seventy miles, and King Wen of Zhou is only a hundred miles in radius. Whoever conquers others by force, others do not really obey him, but only lack of strength;

Those who use morality to subjugate people are convinced, just as the seventy disciples submitted to Confucius.

Han Huang continued: "...... "Poem" cloud: 'From west to east, from south to north, no thought or convincing. That's what it means. ”

Zhu Youzhen said coldly: "Old Han Ge, let's go straight to the point." ”

Han Huang scolded in his heart, he was really a faint king!

Then Zhengse replied: "The monarch rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, appeases the subjects with virtue and politics, and is unbiased and non-party, which is said to be a royal road." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "Elder Han Ge has a deep understanding of the royal road and has a lot of insights. ”

Han Huang touched his beard and nodded smugly.

Zhu Youzhen asked again: "Elder Han Ge, you came to tell me what it means to be domineering?"

After thinking about it, Han Huang said: "Bullying the weak with force, fighting with force, establishing the country with force, and governing the country with force." ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen nodded and asked, "Elder Han Ge summed it up well, so what is the Heavenly Dao?"

Han Huang replied calmly: "It's not for Yaocun, it's not for death, it's called the way of heaven." ”

After Zhu Youzhen listened, he smiled and said, "Elder Han Ge answered well, but are you interested in knowing my answer?"

Now I'll give you a chance, and you can answer me. ”

Han Huang touched his beard with a joke, and it was not difficult to see that his eyes when he looked at Zhu Youzhen seemed to hide a little disdain.

However, Han Huang still asked, "May I ask Your Majesty what is the royal way?"

Zhu You glanced at Han Huang a few times, suddenly smiled weirdly, and said, "If you are disobedient, kill it!"

"Ridiculous!" Han Huang almost jumped to his feet: "What is domineering?"

"Kill those who are obedient!"

"You...... What is the Heavenly Dao?"

"While killing, shouting 'Heaven will punish you'. ”

“...... What is the Confucian Way?"

"Tell the other person before you kill. ”

“...... What is the emperor's way?"

"If I want you to die, you must die!"

Hearing this answer, which was absolutely unusual, Han Huang trembled angrily: "Treacherous theory! Treacherous theory!"

Zhu Youzhen didn't wait for Han Huang to leave before continuing to ask, "Elder Han Ge, I ask you who is stronger than the king or the domineering?"

Han Huang's beard turned up angrily, and he said angrily: "The old minister doesn't answer this treacherous theory. ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed, and after a long time, he said in a rare serious tone: "Let me tell you the answer, the domineering kingdom is not long, and the royal kingdom does not exist." Governing the people with the royal way, rejecting foreign countries with hegemony, taking military rule as the skin and cultural rule as the backbone, this party is the foundation of eternity!"

In fact, this is Zhu Youzhen's final answer, he knows in his heart that the so-called royal road in the way of Confucius and Mencius is not suitable for disputes and troubled times at all, there is no force, there is no benevolence, what is the use of this?

Could it be that Confucius Mengzhi said that he could resist 100,000 soldiers from foreign countries, and that he could stop the Houjin Demon Clan who were approaching the city on the same day?

In the troubled times and the last years of the dynasty, the emperor should be biased towards domineering, just like Zhu Youzhen's seemingly absurd remarks.

For those who obey the emperor, favors, rewards, and peace should be given, such as the people and courtiers in the country, they should be rewarded, so that there will be no resentment;

And for the hostile demon clan, it is necessary to (form) make friends (crusade) at the same time, and establish the prestige of a strong country, so as to gain a foothold in this colorful and troubled world.

In fact, it is just eight words: those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish!

This is the way of the emperor!

In contrast, Han Huang's words just now seemed to be biased towards Yao Shun's way. To put it simply, it is too idealistic and not suitable for today's situation.
