Zhu Houxi stroked his knees, his face was full of smiles, he had reason to be proud, he was born as a vassal king, and he had no strength or fame, and even his qualifications had to be questioned.

And after ten years, he not only sat on the throne, but also became the most powerful son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Di.

Returning to Anlu and returning to his hometown is naturally a reasonable thing, but people still think of Zhu Houxi as simplistic, or underestimate his level of intelligence.

Going south this time is not just to satisfy the vanity of the Son of Heaven, there are too many calculations in it.

The team of the Son of Heaven had just arrived in Tongzhou and stopped.

With the current degree of development of the Ming newspaper, Zhu Houxi went south, accompanied by more than 30 reporters, including many well-known writers in the world.

"Lord Wang, isn't there any purpose for the Son of Heaven to stay in Tongzhou?"

Wang Yue smiled on his face, "Fellow journalists, today is July 27th, it is a very special day, today in the first year of Hongwu, I went to the Northern Expedition Army, under the command of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, two famous generals, to recover Tongzhou, wave the capital of Yuan, and recover Yanyun's hometown. ”

"The Hongwu Northern Expedition was not a dynasty overthrowing another, nor was it a simple Northern Expedition. More than 150 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, we, the descendants of the next generation, may have forgotten how the Ming Dynasty came about...... So I would like to point out the first theme of this trip to the south, which is to find the original intention! ”

"Get back the pride that belongs to me!"

"We are a people with a long history and an unparalleled past...... The long-term glory has created the courage of being a Chinese, and I am a barbarian for China, and the Quartet is full of barbarians. Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, our pride has reached its peak, but it is like a person, there is prime and aging. Since the Two Song Dynasty, we have gradually lost our courage...... Defeat on the battlefield...... The Khitan stole Yanyun, the party took away the Hetao and isolated the Western Regions, the Jurchens destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty. The defeat of Yashan and the fall of China are the darkest moments of our Chinese people for thousands of years. Tens of millions of people have been reduced to fourth-class slaves, human life is as cheap as livestock, horses are rampant, and wolves and dogs are everywhere......"

"My Emperor Taizu, with Ming as the name of the country, with the ambition of swallowing the sun and the moon, expelled the darkness, the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty, the Central Plains, the recovery of Yanyun, the territory within the Great Wall, and several northern expeditions to the grassland, until the defeat of Mongolia, washed away hundreds of years of shame...... Emperor Taizu did not establish a dynasty, but revived a civilization that was about to perish! ”

"Over the years, there have been many articles and poems praising Emperor Taizu, but there are really not many that can truly understand the significance of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. This is not a person's wisdom and martial arts, but a nation, a civilization, after the peril of death, vigorously erupted, is the second revival of China! Emperor Taizu rebuilt the backbone of the Han family, covered the three emperors, and flourished in the first emperor! ”

……

Wang Yue's conversation in front of the reporter was quickly transmitted back to the capital, and also to the neighboring cities, and continued to spread outward like seismic waves...... And this diffusion momentum is not getting weaker and weaker, on the contrary, it is getting stronger and stronger, and the repercussions are becoming more and more violent.

For a time, discussing the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Hongwu Northern Expedition, and the Central Plains became the hottest topics.

Gradually, a term is being mentioned by more and more people, and that is nation!

And once this concept is determined, almost all problems are solved.

What is the difference between us and the barbarians around us, the answer is simple, we belong to different peoples, different civilizations.

Shinong industry and commerce, different industries, can they be treated equally...... The answer, of course, is yes, because we are the same people.

Imperial power and relative power, legal system and Taoist system, the Son of Heaven and the sage, who is the greatest, these are not, but the nation!

Why change the law, why do you want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and why do you want to restore the old place...... The answer is still the nation!

The common people pay attention to living a better and better life, and they are prosperous and prosperous, and this is especially true for a country and a nation.

How should the dispute between mind and science be plattered, and who is the most suitable? In a word, whichever doctrine is good for this nation is appropriate.

When a concept that overrides the world of the family and the country is born, too many controversies have disappeared all at once.

In Tongzhou, the place where the Northern Expedition was victorious in the past, a stone tablet more than one zhang high was erected, and the great achievements of the predecessors were engraved on it.

The glory belonging to the Ming Dynasty is engraved into the hearts of all people.

At the same time, the "Edict of the Central Plains", drafted by Song Lian and promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang, has become a must-remember article for all students.

"Expelling Hulu, restoring China, establishing a program of Chen Ji, and relieving the people" -- these 16 words were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at once. It's a shame to say that in the past, there were many people who only knew how to gnaw the Four Books and Five Classics, and they didn't even know these sixteen words, let alone how the Ming Dynasty was founded......

As for the ordinary people, they realized for the first time that our Ming Dynasty was so good!

On the stage, in the commentary, the Yang family is so powerful, he couldn't get Yanyun back, and Grandpa Yue is such a hero, so he ended up with a storm and resentment.

Only Da Ming!

It's really only Daming!

swept away the shame of 500 years, and the iron-blooded soldiers looked down on it.

Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping, the double pride of the empire, and the hero!

Even if Wei Qinghuo gets sick, it's not as good as it!

What about Han Xin Peng Yue?

It doesn't seem to work!

After all, they only accomplished one thing, and our founding generals of the Ming Dynasty not only established a new dynasty, but also expelled Hu Lu and rebuilt China.

No one can compare to this achievement!

Wang Yue's actions actually gave Daming a solid history lesson.

Of course, Wang Yue's work has never been so simple, he has always been a pit after a pit. Until everyone is buried.

And this time, Wang Yue showed his ultimate weapon.

In fact, after the restoration of the Daning Dusi, or even earlier, Wang Yue and Zhu Houxi, the pair of monarchs and ministers faced a problem, they broke through the shackles of the old ministers and grasped their own power.

But at that time, they were like two wild boars rushing into the vegetable field, and after running, they left behind a mess.

Break and then stand.

They are only half done, what to do with the remaining half?

Both of them were thinking about it, moved to the Confucian family, admired the study of the mind, greatly promoted education, and encouraged science and technology...... For quite some time, they were in a state of confusion, not quite understanding what they were doing.

In Wang Yue's heart, there is a general direction, but Zhu Houxi still needs to think carefully about the trade-offs, speaking of which, the biggest impact on him may be Yan Jun's proposition of having no king and no father!

Those deviant words and insults to the monarch's father still have a little truth in the eyes of his own son, Yan Jun is not guilty to death!

It's ridiculous, but it's really right in front of you.

Zhu Houxi had to accept the fact that the Son of Heaven was high, it was really not a matter of course, and it was not a principle of heavenly principles...... Otherwise, how could so many emperors die unexpectedly, and so many dynasties will be annihilated.

In this world, there are far more important things than the monarch's father.

It's just that he still hesitated a little about what this thing was.

Is it the so-called greatest truth, or is it the greatest Taoism?

Do you want to fall into the muddy pond you once had?

At this point, a new answer came out.

Ethnic group!

Not an emperor, not a saint, but a living people in this land, people-oriented!

Zhu Houxi's face showed a smile of relief.

"Wang Yue, do you say that the people in the court now regret not stopping me from going south?" Zhu Houxi asked with squinted eyes.

Wang Yue smiled: "It's hard to say, the key depends on whether Your Majesty plans to stop fighting?" ”

"Joke!"

Zhu Houxi snorted: "You talk eloquently, you are too addicted, how can I just be an ornament?" Zhu Houxi smiled: "Where is our next stop?" ”

"Shandong!" Wang Yue said without hesitation.

Zhu Houxi smiled, "It's just right!" By the way, the Temple of Confucius or something, it's not damaged, right? ”

Wang Yue chuckled and said, "How dare you damage it!" Don't look at Yan Shenggong's family being sent to Chengde, but there is still an endless stream of people who come to Qufu to pay respects, and some people even cry and swear to restore their status as saints! ”

"Dream! I won't let them succeed...... This Confucian temple is time to enshrine some real heroes! ”
