Chapter 268: Beiping and Kublai Khan

By the time Zhu Yunwen's holy car arrived in Beiping, generals such as Zhu Di and Song Sheng, and civil officials such as Xu Yuhe, the political envoy of Beiping, were already waiting outside Beiping early.

"See my Emperor Saint Bow Jin'an!"

Outside the city of Beiping, nearly 100,000 soldiers of all ethnic groups bowed down on one knee bravely, and the army was mighty.

Walking down from the Son of Heaven, Zhu Yunwen was in front, and behind him was Zhu Wenkui, whose face was full of nervousness.

"Fourth Uncle has worked hard, Xining Hou has worked hard, hurry up."

Supporting Zhu Di's sinking arm, Zhu Yunwen held up the former and encouraged: "The name of the fourth uncle must be engraved in the history of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"This time they all rely on His Majesty's blessing, and the minister does not dare to be ashamed."

Zhu Di said modestly, and then saw Wen Kui, who was a little timid hiding behind Zhu Yunwen, and a smile appeared on his face: "I never thought that Your Majesty brought the eldest prince this time." ”

"I've seen my uncle and grandfather."

Wen Kui hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhu Di.

"It's also big, bring it out to see the world."

Zhu Yunwen smiled, put his hand on Wen Kui's head and sighed: "That place in Nanjing is a bird cage, stay like a canary for a long time, I took him out to meet my Ming soldiers, let him know how bitter the frontier is." ”

As he spoke, he patted Wen Kui's little head: "Go, I've seen Xining Hou." ”

Zhu Wenkui snorted, detoured in front of Zhu Yunwen, and saluted Song Sheng, who avoided his body and returned the salute.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Great Prince."

"Marquis of Xining, we haven't seen each other for several years."

Zhu Yunwen patted Song Sheng's shoulder, looked at the latter's white beard, and laughed: "The old general's spirit is still very good, it seems that the water and soil in Mo Nan are quite supportive." ”

The joke was serious, and Song Sheng also squeezed out a faint smile, but did not answer.

The emperor in front of him is no longer the emperor who just ascended the throne and still has a childish face, Rao is Song Sheng has fought all his life, and when he sees Zhu Yunwen after five years, his heart is inexplicably nervous, the emperor is still so young, but the momentum contained in the smile on his face makes Song Sheng feel a kind of pressure from Taizu in the world.

"These bits?"

With a glance of his eyes, Zhu Yunwen saw the senior generals in a row behind the two, and gestured to Zhu Di with his eyes, and the latter came to his senses and began to introduce them one by one.

"Beiping Division, Monan Division."

After introducing the generals of his clan, he was followed by the three guards of Wuliang Ha and the chieftains of the three Jurchens.

"The minions have seen His Majesty the Great Emperor."

The chiefs of the various departments who were named were excited, this was the first time they had seen Zhu Yunwen, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and they solemnly came to three kowtows one by one, shouting long live.

Minion?

The corners of Zhu Yunwen's mouth provoked a trace of disdain, this title is suitable for them.

"You are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers of my humerus, and the people of me, I have always treated everyone equally, so I don't need to be so polite."

There were two words of appeasement and encouragement, but Zhu Yunwen focused on praising a few words of Suhacha, the number one traitor.

"I heard about the general's exploits in Nanjing, this time to pacify Mobei, the general made the first contribution, Hanmeng is now a family, is a brother, should be one heart and one heart to work together in state affairs, the work of which depends on the general to operate, and when the north is stable in the future, I will award the general a medal."

After some appreciation, Su Hacha's body trembled violently, and he was excited, and he would only kneel and kowtow vigorously, eager to cut out his heart on the spot and let Zhu Yunwen see his loyalty and sincerity to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty.

After staying outside the city for a while, Zhu Yunwen turned around and planned to return to the driver's seat, but to everyone's surprise, Zhu Yunwen did not call Zhu Di or Song Sheng, but called the name of Xu Yuhe, the political envoy of Beiping Zuobu, and got into the car, which made the latter so excited that he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

Why did he let Xu Yuhe get in the car, of course, because he was the local magistrate, Zhu Yunwen wanted to find him to get to know Beiping well.

Beiping, that is, the city of Beijing in later generations.

This is the first time in Zhu Yunwen's life to come to this capital of later generations, and it has nothing to do with Beijing in his vague memory. When his former leader came to study at the Beijing Party School, he came to Beijing several times, and the impression left on him by the city was that it was "a lot of exquisiteness and not a lot of rules", but in addition to these, the traffic environment was terrible.

After all, roads are closed at every turn.

Well, he Zhu Yunwen has now closed the road when he enters the city, and it is still sealed with great fanfare by hundreds of thousands of troops.

As the capital of the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Beiping is still desolate and unsightly, and the reason for this is that the main value of its construction is to fight wars.

In that year, Taizu's Northern Expedition, Xu Chang's two generals recovered Beiping, announcing that the first city in Hebei ended nearly 500 years of foreign rule and returned to the hands of the Han people, and then so far Zhu Yunwen inspected Beiping for more than 30 years, Beiping, as the first major city on the front line of the Han and Mongolian wars, assumed the responsibility of a military town, and the city was full of military supplies, food, gunpowder and other materials.

The whole city was filled with a bleak and murderous atmosphere.

Historically, after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he moved to Beijing three times, first tens of thousands of wealthy landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, and then hundreds of thousands of people from various provinces, which made Beijing gradually have the prosperous temperament that it should have as the capital of the dynasty.

And the city of Beiping at this time is more like a military town with many heroes.

"For thousands of years in Kyoto, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful and longyuan."

Zhu Yunwen sighed, Zhong Lingyuxiu's four words seem to be unworthy of Beiping at the moment, but this dragon is not worthy, after all, it is not true that Zhu Di has been raised.

He also wants to move the capital to Beijing, and now he has a field trip, and if he wants to move here, the amount of work to be done is probably not small.

"Qing is a native of Beiping?"

Xu Yuhe has been sitting honestly, his eyes did not dare to leave his boots, and when he heard Zhu Yunwen speak, his head hung down for three points, and he replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty Lao is worried, and the minister is from Daxing, Beiping."

This can be regarded as old Beijing, Zhu Yunwen thought about it carefully, and he couldn't hear the highly recognizable Beijing accent in later generations, but it was more like a Hebei accent.

"Tell me about this Beiping City."

Zhu Yunwen lifted the curtain and looked outside, except for the low houses on both sides, there was an indescribable gloom.

"Yes."

As a sitting tiger who has served as a political envoy of Zuobu since the 28th year of Hongwu, Xu Yuhe is very familiar with the whole of Beiping, and he introduced it endlessly, including the scenery and landform, Dingkou fields, mixed ethnic groups and other aspects in great detail, so that Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but bow his head and expressed satisfaction with his work attitude.

It seems that the homework of waiting for the car has been done well

"Qing Zuobu has been a political envoy for eight years."

The inexplicable sentence made Xu Yuhe stunned, and then he thought of something, and was a little excited. Could it be that the emperor plans to promote him?

Daming's career is not easy, basically except for those who served in the six departments of the center at the beginning, they can be gradually promoted, but as long as the local officials do the politics of a province, it will be difficult to perform their duties in the center.

At the end of the day, the pit is limited.

It's not that there are people in the DPRK, and if the local political envoys want to be promoted to the center, they don't even think about it.

"The results are very good, Beiping is different from Jiangnan, the situation is complicated, Qing can handle it so well, I am very pleased."

Zhu Yunwen smiled at Xu Yuhe: "Right now, Mobei is peaceful, I plan to let Qing take up this heavy burden, after all, Qing has been in the north for a long time, and he is familiar with it." ”

Mobei?

Xu Yuhe blinked his eyes twice, and his heart was suddenly disappointed, he thought he was going to Nanjing.

"Your Majesty has an order, and the ministers should go to the soup and live up to the grace of God."

No matter what, Xu Yuhe still showed his loyalty as soon as possible and received the order to thank him.

At this time, the holy car fell and came to the palace left by the Yuan Dynasty earlier.

This is where Zhu Yunwen walked.

The Imperial Palace of Yuan Dadu is not the Forbidden City of later generations, because its layout and construction aesthetics are more in line with the habits of the grassland people and the characteristics of 'living by water', so even if it is quite well preserved, Zhu Di did not choose to live here directly when he moved the capital, but rebuilt one.

Xu Chang's Northern Expedition, Emperor Yuan fled north, almost gave up Beiping, so even if this palace was empty for more than 30 years, the damage to its main building was not very deep, before Zhu Yunwen came, the political envoy of Beiping sent people to repair and clean, several main halls were completely new, and they could be moved in.

"I heard that this palace was built by Arabs?"

Zhu Yunwen got off the carriage outside the imperial city, not because he respected the ruins left by the grassland people, he just wanted to take a few steps to move his body, and by the way, he could peek at the traces of this era through the details in this overall building.

"Yes, a heavenly barbarian."

Zhu Yunwen laughed.

"This Kublai Khan is also a wonderful man, while he wants to kill all the heavenly people, and on the other hand, he reuses the skilled craftsmen of the heavenly side, I heard that many systems in the Yuan Dynasty were formulated by the Arabs?"

"To be precise, this is indeed the case, the laws, celestial phenomena, ephemeris, and engineering of the reverse yuan are basically dominated by the heavenly people, no matter how bad they are, there are also shadows of the heavenly people."

Zhu Di smiled, and then said disdainfully: "Kublai Khan is just a chieftain who seriously lacks cultural self-confidence, he has betrayed their own immortality by beating up the Eight Sipa Enlightenment Buddhism, even if he is a great khan, he has hesitated many times in the process of destroying the Song Dynasty, and he does not dare to raise troops easily."

If it weren't for Ba Si Pa Na's bullshit destiny to fool him, he might not have fought. Later, when the war situation was not smooth, he removed Boyan from his post, listened to the advice of the old Confucian family, and used Zhang Hongfan as the marshal of the Menghan capital.

After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan ruled the country with Confucianism, and the Confucian family gave him the title of a great master of Confucianism, which made him happy for many years. It seems that Buddhism also gave him the honorific title of Buddhism once.

He killed the Celestial people in Quanzhou, and I heard that the reason was only because the Celestial people said that he was barbaric and unworthy of the honorific title of 'Allah, which hurt Kublai Khan's self-esteem, and then he ordered the slaughter of the cities of Quanzhou and Fuzhou. ”

"And that's not all."

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was very interested in this knowledge, Xu Yuhe came up and said: "I heard that in the place where the heavens are still to the west, there was once a merchant group who came to Beiping and was received by Kublai Khan, and the group of merchants touted Kublai Khan as 'the king and emperor of all kings', saying that he was greater than the God of their religion. ”

"Religion?"

"It looks like it's called a chicken pig."

Xu Yuhe didn't think about it for a long time, and the casual words made Zhu Yunwen laugh.

"That's Christ, not a chicken pig."

After Zhu Yunwen finished saying these two words, he fell silent again, and suddenly affirmed Kublai Khan.

"Kublai Khan, the emperor, is more like an emperor than many emperors of the Two Song Dynasty."

Kublai Khan's serious lack of cultural self-confidence also gave him the open-mindedness to accommodate any idea that could enter the country, and as long as these Eastern and Western doctrines were willing to admit that Kublai Khan was the 'greatest', then Kublai Khan was willing to let these academic ideas take root in the soil under his feet.

He was the great master of Confucianism, the only true god on earth beyond Buddha, Allah, and God, and it can be said that as a conqueror, Kublai Khan, in order to cover up his own cultural inferiority, demanded that all doctrines must tout his greatness.

In return, he, the emperor, generously gave the various schools of thought room to survive and develop.

"Western thought, heavenly culture, including our Han people's own Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and the culture of the grassland people, have all left their mark on this city."

Walking on the royal road of this palace, Zhu Yunwen sighed with emotion: "I have always been surprised, why does a nation on horseback take the initiative to study warships, artillery, calendars, textiles and machinery, on the other hand, the Southern Song Dynasty, but only hold Cheng Zhu Lixue, and talk about it, fantasizing that groveling and gold and silver can not be destroyed?" ”

Sighing, Zhu Yunwen shook his head, quite disappointed: "There is no shame in a corner of partial security, and partial security still doesn't know how to forge ahead, but blindly strengthens the cage between social classes, and in the end it will not be like a general, and a soldier is not like a soldier, but that group of scholars is still like that." ”

Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the most enlightened dynasty turned out to be the Yuan Dynasty during the Kublai Khan period, which really embarrassed Zhu Yunwen and almost committed cancer.

The group marched in the palace and saw the Guozijian and the Confucian Temple next to the Guozijian.

Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly became ugly.

"This place almost broke the backbone of our Han people."

Zhu Yunwen raised his hand and pointed at it, which made Xu Yuhe beside him suddenly feel cold, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, how could he even ignore such an important matter.

"The minister immediately ordered someone to demolish it."

"Hmm."

Zhu Yun shook his head: "The so-called scholars and literati who have stayed in this place are obviously well-educated people among our Han people, but they shamelessly compile history, cover up atrocities, fool the people, and try to make our Han people slaves on their behalf, and the ridiculous thing is that this group of scholars and literati do these things in front of the statues of their ancestors."

This kind of place is even dirtier than the Qinglou Goolan, what are you keeping it for, and who is left to see? ”

The emperor's tone was not serious, but Xu Yuhe was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and confessed repeatedly.

"Okay, I won't be in this place for long, I'm going to Monan soon, you can handle it yourself."

Zhu Yunwen continued to walk forward, and finally came to the main hall of the palace, and looked up and smiled.

"This is the palace where Emperor Yuan lived?"

Everyone looked up and laughed.

I saw the plaque on the top of this palace tower, with three big characters written in Mongolian and Chinese:

Daming Palace!

"I found out that this Kublai Khan was still a prophet."

Zhu Yunwen stroked his palms and laughed: "Name your bedroom Daming Palace, what does this mean, I already know that his reverse yuan is destined to be destroyed by my Daming?" ”

"After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Expedition, Tuhuan Timur was so frightened that he fled north, I don't know how he felt when he looked back and saw the three words of the Ming Palace before leaving, hahahaha."

Everyone laughed.

This Kublai Khan is really a wonderful person.

(I have been cold for several days, my mind is dizzy, and the weather is hot and the season changes, so you should be cautious when turning on the air conditioner.) )
