Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Hall of Memorial

The inner city of Xiangyang is not large, and the Murong family occupies an independent area in the southwest corner of the inner city.

When Zhao Dezhao arrived on horseback, all the male members of the Murong family who got the news came to the gate to greet him.

Zhao Dezhao has been in Hanjing for seven days, and all aspects of affairs have not been dealt with, and he has not yet begun to visit the local family, and the Murong family is the first.

Zhao Dezhao jumped off the horse, grabbed Murong Yanqing's arms, and straightened him. "Uncle Shi, a few days ago, I was staying in the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, and you were the commander of the envoy. Today, regardless of my official position, I come to serve a stick of incense for the thirteenth brother as a nephew of the world, and there is no need to be polite. ”

Murong Yanqing said solemnly: "The prince's status is noble, and he understands the righteousness of Yanqing, but the etiquette cannot be abolished. Please ......"

Zhao Dezhao was introduced into the front yard, and the female relatives of the Murong family, led by the old lady Murong, went out to greet them and waited in the courtyard.

This set of courtyards is a small courtyard one by one, forming a large courtyard. Due to the small size of the inner city, the houses were built more densely.

As soon as they entered, the small front yard was full.

Zhao Dezhao's steps were fast, and without waiting for the old lady to salute, he stepped forward and grabbed her left arm. "Mother-in-law, don't be polite, today Dezhao is just to give the thirteenth brother a ride, and when the day is clear, I will come to the house to say goodbye to my mother-in-law."

The old lady smiled and grabbed Zhao Dezhao's hand and said: "The last time I saw you was during the Sejong period, and you were more skinny at that time, because your two second brothers have the same word, you still don't accept my second brother, the two of them fought, and the one in my family who didn't make it was beaten and cried by you." ”

Zhao Dezhao was three years younger than Murong Defeng, because Murong Yanzhao and Zhao Kuangyin were sworn brothers, and the relationship between the two families was very close at that time.

Zhao Dezhao's words are followed by Murong Defeng, and they are all called Rixin.

Both of them are second brothers, and they are both the same word, the two were close when they were children, but there was competition.

Murong Defeng is just an ordinary physique, and Zhao Dezhao is born with divine power, although he is three years younger, Murong Defeng can't win a fight.

Hearing his grandmother say this, Murong Defeng didn't seize the opportunity to step forward and get close again, and he always felt guilty because of his brother's death.

Zhao Dezhao said with a smile: "When I was a child, I was not sensible and didn't give in to my second brother, but now that I have grown up, I know that brothers must unite as one and work together with the outside world." ”

Seeing that Murong Defeng still didn't move, the old lady sighed, she still had to experience him a little more.

Next, the old lady introduced the female dependents in the house to Zhao Dezhao, Murong Yanzhao's wife, who often hugged him when she was a child, so she naturally had an impression.

However, his concubine and third sister, Zhao Dezhao has no impression.

"The thirteenth brother died because of state affairs, and the court naturally won't ignore it, and if the merits are assessed in the coming day, the Hanjing Mansion will naturally have a pension. Dezhao couldn't sleep all night last night, feeling that he should do something, and when the affairs of the coming day stopped, he wanted to find a hill in the south of the city and build a memorial hall. At that time, the name of the thirteenth brother will inevitably be engraved on it for future generations to admire. ”

Of course, a concubine didn't understand what this meant, and she hadn't reacted yet, but Murong Yanqing was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What does it mean to stay behind?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said with a smile: "There was a Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, and twenty-four heroes were listed for future generations to admire, but it was a little childish. Dezhao wants to imitate the system of Lingyan Pavilion, build a memorial hall, divide the heroes and ordinary soldiers, and set up a monument to engrave their names, so that future generations will not forget. ”

Murong Yanqing didn't care that he was an elder at this time, knelt on his knees, kowtowed, and said: "Staying behind is a wise move, if there is such a day, the Murong family is willing to contribute to the Ping family, and I hope that staying behind will be fulfilled." ”

The construction of a memorial hall for heroes is the cheapest and most effective means to win the hearts of the military and the people.

In the Ming Dynasty, because of the memorial hall, the general was not afraid of death, and the civil officials were re-named, and everyone wanted to engrave their names on the stone tablet of the memorial hall.

As long as the qualifications for engraving are well controlled, the influence of the memorial hall will become more and more significant.

Murong Yanqing is willing to pay for the construction, also so that his father, grandfather, and brother, and even his own future name can be engraved on it.

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly helped him up and said: "Uncle Shi doesn't need to be like this, since Dezhao has this intention, he will definitely implement it in the future." ”

The old lady reacted at this time and grabbed Zhao Dezhao's arm tightly. "Second brother,...... Second brother, my Murong family has been a general for generations, brave and not afraid of death, may he be famous? ”

Zhao Dezhao nodded slightly, and the calm old lady burst into tears. "If there is this day, the old body will die without regrets."

If you are a modern person, you can't understand the pursuit of the posthumous name of the people of this era, because the pursuit of people in different eras is completely different.

Don't talk about individuals, just talk about the general environment, what were there in ancient times?

In this era, there are only basic living needs, and there is no rich spiritual enjoyment in later generations, and even if it is rich, the life that can be enjoyed is far from that of ordinary people in later generations.

The only thing they are better than ordinary people in later generations is the pleasure of manpower accumulation.

That is, servants, servants, concubines, etc.

Eating, drinking, and playing are all extremely monotonous.

What's more, people in this day and age are insecure.

The information they receive is not as much as that of an ordinary junior high school student in later generations, and their understanding of the world is limited to their own surroundings.

People in this era are not afraid of death, in addition to thinking that there is life after death, but also because living is a hard journey.

If you have money, you can enjoy the life of three wives and four concubines, but these do not require too high costs.

You can eat a little better than the average person, but it's limited.

The bottom line of money and power is higher than others, but the upper limit is very limited, which is not as good as ordinary people in later generations.

At this time, most people's pursuit has become fame.

Being able to be recorded in the history books is the pursuit of countless people.

Therefore, it is absolutely a supreme honor to be able to engrave your name in the memorial hall of the imperial court.

Of course, Zhao Dezhao's move is to win over the people, as long as this move can be supported by Zhao Kuangyin, whether it is the military or the people, it can be used.

Lu Duoxun followed Zhao Dezhao to the Murong family's mansion, and originally had some interests, but when he heard the plan of the memorial hall, he thought a lot about it.

If cotton can really change people's habits, be introduced into China by themselves, and be popularized, then it will be recorded in the history books in the future.

If he can ascend to the throne after staying, he will definitely be recorded in the history books in the future as a minister of the dragon.

Looking at Zhao Dezhao's eyes, he became adoring and enthusiastic, and there was no longer the previous hesitation and scrutiny.

He Lu Duosun also wants to be famous in history!

At the same time, in Kaifeng Prefecture, which was outside the establishment, there was also a dialogue about Hanjing.

Zhao Dezhao arrived in Hanjing, and now he is still sorting out personnel relations, and the only decree issued is the four notices.

When the news reached Kaifeng Mansion, it immediately sparked heated discussions among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Women serve in the service, and they promote talents instead of merit, which is an unprecedented innovation.

Whether this change is good or bad, no one can say.

However, for the time being, it was only implemented in Shannan Dongdao, so there were not many objections, and they were all suppressed by Zhao Kuangyin.

What puzzled all civil officials was, why did Wang Pu, as a great Confucian, not oppose this announcement?

If you can't read and write, you can be an official, so why do you want to learn Confucianism? Where are Confucian students?

Fortunately, this was a period of war in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Confucianism, like Buddhism, was suppressed in the first place.

Those generals don't care if you are a Confucian or a Jinshi, as long as you don't listen to me, they will cut off your head.

Wang Santie ate human flesh and no one cared, Wang Yansheng ate the enemy's ears, and was famous in the northwest and was repeatedly praised in the imperial court.

Confucianism, this era has not yet been influential.

Later generations of Confucianism touted themselves with Zhao Pu's theory of "half of the treatise on ruling the world", but in fact, this sentence was not said by Zhao Pu at all.

In the entire Song Dynasty, this sentence was not circulated. Until the Yuan Dynasty, the status of Confucianism was placed alongside that of beggars, and they were called stinky old nine and lower nine streams.

At that time, it was sung in the opera.

A line from Gao Wenxiu, a dramatist at the time of the Yuan Dynasty, in the miscellaneous play "Meeting the Emperor", was then borrowed by those neglected Confucian students, and then developed into a self-boasting mentality that spread in later generations.

In fact, Zhao Pu was not a Confucian at all.

He only read when his father and ancestors were officials, the world was in chaos, and he had no food and clothing, and then he was conscripted into the army, that is, the clerk in charge of statistics in the army.

From this position, he gradually rose to the rank of prime minister.

At this time, he held the four copied notices of Shannan Dongdao in his hand. "Your Majesty, now the ministers are boiling, and they all think that the four notices of the prince are not in line with the national system, and they dig their own foundations, even if Your Majesty has the intention to defend the stay, they should let everyone debate."

Zhao Kuangyin, who was at the top, said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait a few more days." You look at these ...... first."

He turned his head to look at Meng Kuan, and motioned for him to hand the several copies of the recital on the desk to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu took the piece handed over by Meng Kuan and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Since the second brother went to Hanjing, every day, there are people I arranged to record what the second brother did and report it, and now I have received four copies.

In addition, Wang Pu, Shen Yilun, Cai Lingxing, Lu Duoxun and others also gave me a recital. Let's take a look at ...... first."

Zhao Pu took a closer look, and it recorded in detail the excitement of Zhao Dezhao's arrival in Hanjing and the conversations with officials from all over Shannan Dongdao.

But these only account for about a third, and most of the rest is related to the workshop.

In the first few months, Hanjing was only repairing the river embankment and preparing materials, and most people didn't know what to do, thinking that these were all preparations for the construction of Hanjing City.

However, after Zhao Dezhao arrived, Pei Ge'an immediately purged his forces and began to build various public offices.

Among them, Lu Duoxun reported in the most detail, and even explained the reasons behind the establishment of these public squares.

Although Zhao Dezhao's announcement is not in line with today's national conditions, it has a lot to offer.

After reading this, Zhao Pu couldn't help but secretly wonder. Lu Duosun was a Jinshi, why did he attach so much importance to the role of the workshop? Isn't he afraid of becoming the target of Confucianism in the world?

Wang Pu and Shen Yilun are both old and respectful, why do they advance and retreat together with the prince?

What is there in the middle of this that I haven't figured out yet?
