Yuan Chonghuan and Wan Youfu heard Sun Chengzong say this, and they were all excited.

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly asked, "What is the good way for the teacher?" ”

"It's simple, Wei Bao's bet with me is well known, so that the people below go around saying that Wei Bao is afraid, and it is nonsense. If a person does not stand without faith, and a person's words do not count, can others believe him? Sun Chengzong said coldly: "I don't believe that Wei Bao still has the ability not to let people speak?" This is not Beizhili, and it is not Jingshi, and he wants to ban words in Jiliao and Liaodong, so that no one can speak, and no one pays attention to him. ”

"That's right!" Yuan Chonghuan suddenly opened his mouth when he heard this, "It's still a good teacher." ”

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan and Wan Youfu had thought of this for a long time, but no one dared to mention it, first, they felt that even if they talked about Wei Bao every day, it would not be very powerful.

In addition, Wei Bao and Sun Chengzong's gambling contract did not even arrive for ten days, and he did not clearly say that he would attack Jiannu within a few days.

Also, although the matter of the gambling contract has been spread, after all, it is a matter between officials, and it can be regarded as having a certain level of military secrecy.

It's a bit not good to talk about it everywhere and even talk about it with ordinary people.

But now that Sun Chengzong took the initiative to say this, Yuan Chonghuan and Wan Youfu naturally had no opinion.

The next day, the people under Sun Chengzong desperately slandered Wei Bao everywhere, saying that Wei Bao's words were not counted, and there was no movement in the gambling contract that he had clearly promised!

"Wei Bao, I am the most qualified to speak, I have known him for almost two years!" Jin Qiliang, the garrison of Shanhaiguan, is indeed very qualified, he can be said to be the first group of people to know Wei Bao, "Wei Bao has always been able to make cheap, not to suffer. He doesn't have that ability. ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid that Wei Bao will fight Jiannu in his dream in the next life." A good friend of Kim laughed.

In fact, Wei Bao made such a big noise in Shanhaiguan, and in the entire Liaodong Lane in Liaoxi, marrying the eldest lady of the Wu family as a concubine, and the emperor personally came to congratulate him.

Such a grand occasion, not to mention in Weijiazhuang, Liaoxi and Liaodong, is unheard of in the entire Ming Dynasty.

But there's nothing really big about it, people are jealous, especially men.

Maybe many women don't think anything, after all, this is a male-dominated world, women only think that Wei Bao is really a very capable man, such a man, it is normal to marry a sleeping daughter as a concubine.

Speaking of Wei Bao, Jin Qiliang couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Jin Qiliang was not sent a task to say Wei Bao, but from the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, the most popular thing for officials in the Shanhaiguan area is to say bad things about Wei Bao.

In fact, Jin Qiliang still has some feelings for Wei Bao, he recognized Wei Bao through Wu Shien, a business owner of the Wu family.

Later, Jin Qiliang was forced by the pressure of Wu Sanfeng, the eldest young master of the Wu family, or the desire for power and wealth, and once betrayed Wei Bao and wanted to kill Wei Bao.

But after all, he is a person who has been in a relationship before, and Jin Qiliang is still close to him for the scenes of his relationship with Wei Bao.

Wei Bao didn't kill him after his career, which made Jin Qiliang very grateful, Jin Qiliang knew that with Wei Bao's current strength, to kill a person like him was really as simple as stepping on an ant on the ground.

But Wei Bao didn't do that.

And Wei Bao can make a fortune, Jin Qiliang doesn't feel that he has too much effort, everything is Wei Bao's own ability, even if there is no him, Wei Bao will also be prosperous.

"Don't talk about Lord Wei, let's keep some morality, I believe that if the time is ripe, Lord Wei will fight Jiannu! You've all heard about Liaonan, if it weren't for Master Wei, Liaonan would have been the territory of Jiannu a long time ago, where can it be left to this day? Jin Qiliang couldn't help but say a word for Wei Bao.

Even if Wei Bao didn't deal with himself at the beginning, he couldn't bear to say bad things about Wei Bao.

"Lord Jin, this is not like you, have you and Na Wei Bao known each other for a long time, and you are talking to him like this? He got rid of many friends in Shanhaiguan at once, and killed dozens of friends, these generals are very familiar with us, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, aren't you angry? Another friend of Jin Qiliang asked.

"What's the use of being angry? People like us, who say that they are officials, in front of Lord Wei and Master Inspector, what are we and many things, if you don't know, let's talk about it less. Jin Qiliang smiled modestly: "To put it mildly, these things are not for people like us to discuss." ”

"Hmph, I'm not afraid! So many officials in the Governor's Mansion have said bad things about Wei Bao, they are not afraid, what are we afraid of? A friend of Jin Qiliang said: "Isn't he Wei Bao just good at doing business and slapping horses?" That is, I was lucky, I got the emperor's favor, what's the big deal, sometimes, I really think that we have a person like Wei Bao in Liaoxi, it's a shame! We are all upright men outside the gate! ”

"Yes, I agree with this, climb the royal relationship, not to say how powerful he Wei Bao is, it is indeed a bit embarrassing, if we want to gain a foothold outside the gate, we have to rely on real skills, otherwise we can really fight the slaves and serve the public, or we will be outside the customs for generations, and form our own people after gaining a foothold! Which big family is not well-established. The rise of the Wei family, I still haven't figured out how it happened? Another friend of Jin Qiliang said: "It seems that there is a Weijiazhuang for some reason, and there is a Liaonan for some reason, and I don't know if Wei Bao has anything to do with Jiannu." ”

Jin Qiliang saw that he couldn't convince his friends, and he didn't bother to talk about Wei Bao anymore.

In fact, Wei Bao does have a lot of mysterious, unexplainable places.

Even the people of Weijiazhuang and Liaonan, as well as many senior members of the Heaven and Earth Society, could not figure out how Wei Bao and the Heaven and Earth Society quietly rose.

In everyone's hearts, Jiannu at this time is an invincible existence.

Although Wei Bao has won Jiannu many times, and won Jiannu's southern Liaoning, there is no news media at this time, there are no autobiographical books or anything, and many details are not understood by everyone.

Just when there was a lot of discussion outside, Wei Bao also got the information for the first time.

"It must be Sun Chengzong who let people out to slander the president!" Wu Xuexia said angrily: "It is also said that it is the relationship between teachers and students, so lacking in morality." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wei Bao was a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately interrupted Wu Xuexia. Although Wei Bao also knew that if Sun Chengzong didn't take the lead, others wouldn't dare to say it so loudly, but Wei Bao didn't like to hear people say bad things about Sun Chengzong.

"I'm not wrong, we're not sending troops, isn't it not the right time? Sun Chengzong has been slandering the president for so much, and it won't be long before the president's reputation will stink, and his hand is too ruthless. Wu Xuexia muttered aggrievedly, and even her eyes were red.

Wei Bao can't see girls crying the most, especially his own women.

Zhang Meiyuan hugged Wu Xuexia's shoulder, "Okay, good sister, don't be angry." ”

"I know you're telling the truth, you don't have to say it! When we have the opportunity to fight Jiannu, we can be ashamed of a battle, what are we afraid of? "Wei Bao cut the railway.

Wei Bao said categorically, but after all, his heart is weak, and before he fights, who knows what it will look like.

Wei Bao's heart is weak, Wu Xuexia is even more weak-hearted, if it weren't for the weakness of heart, she wouldn't be so angry because Sun Chengzong sent someone to slander her.

The most angry thing for a person is something that cannot be proven, and while he cannot prove it, he is slandered by others, which is equivalent to being pressed to the ground and beaten.

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty came from an independent armed force that had no support, and never relied on any class or group.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the leader of this group, has supreme and unquestionable power and authority.

This enabled him to create a system of his own characteristics for future generations, which was completely different from that of his predecessors, according to his own wishes and ideas, and to kill as many people as he did for this purpose.

The system of the Ming Dynasty is a major turning point in the history of China's political system, which is a well-known historical fact. Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and made himself ancient in the system.

The uniqueness of the Ming system includes: first, the abolition of the prime minister system, the substantial adjustment of the official system, and the unprecedented intensification of monarchical power and centralized power; Second, it created strict social control, established an antique health system, imposed heavy taxes on Jiangnan, and restricted maritime trade, so that the society in the early Ming Dynasty presented a "quaint" appearance; Third, it strengthened control in the ideological and cultural fields, established the country by the law of punishment and killing, and lightened the military force, so that the atmosphere of suppression and terror permeated the early Ming Dynasty.

It is undeniable that these three unique features can encapsulate the essence of Hongwu's creation in the early Ming Dynasty, and the rest of the branches can be said to be derived from them.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, great changes took place in the political system, social economy, ideology and culture, so much so that the academic circles have already asserted the "Yuan and Ming Dynasty Reforms" and "Two Northern and Southern Dynasties".

The major changes in the early Ming Dynasty and the uniqueness of the Ming system are historical facts.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally founded this system, and what is the source and reason for it, which is a place for academic circles to gather lawsuits.

Since Naito Hunan proposed the "Tang and Song Dynasty Reforms", after the establishment of each dynasty, the origin of its system and the profit and loss between it and the previous system have also become a sub-topic in the discussion of dynastic periodization.

The sources of the Ming Dynasty system are summarized in various theories, and there are at least the following theories: 1. The Ming system was born from the Mengyuan Dynasty.

This school of arguments focuses on the character of the Mongolian "steppe people" inherited by Zhu Yuanzhang's regime, and points out that many distinctive characteristics of the Ming system, such as the servitude of ministers, the exclusive respect of imperial power, the division of the imperial family, and the subtleties, the burial of palace concubines, and the laxity of the law, all came from the Jin Yuan.

Many things in the Ming Dynasty that were slightly different from those of the Middle Tang and Song dynasties can only be properly explained by going back to the Yuan Dynasty.

Scholars of political history and political history also hold this view.

The unprecedented expansion of monarchy and the enslavement of ministers in the early Ming Dynasty were directly related to the political characteristics of the "steppe empire" of the Mengyuan Dynasty.

The Ming system is partly derived from the political traditions of the Han people from the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties.

The expansion of monarchy in the early Ming Dynasty was still inherited from the Han political tradition of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Out of political propaganda, the people of the Ming Dynasty always spared no effort to emphasize their inheritance relationship with the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, and denied their connection with the Mengyuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang claimed to be "far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, with a slight profit or loss, and also participated in the classics of the Song Dynasty".

This has also been the official propaganda caliber of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang contracted and "returned" to the political tradition of the Han nationality, or the "Jiangnan standard".

Zhu Yuanzhang made himself ancient and created a set of political systems.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally played a decisive role in the creation of the system.

Zhu Yuanzhang's creation is partly derived from the tradition of the Red Turban Army, and can also be regarded as the stream of this view. There are also quite a few people who follow this approach in the study of intellectual history, and talk about ideology and culture from the particularity of political ecology.

There was more change than inheritance between the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the rupture was greater than continuity.

The political system of the early Ming Dynasty was a mixture of Han Chinese traditions, the characteristics of the Red Army, and the foundations of the Yuan Dynasty.

The sources of the Hongwu system are diverse, and the perception and interpretation of it should also be diversified.

The influence of the Confucian classics before the Qin and Han dynasties.

The pre-Qin period, that is, the ancient system of "three dynasties", mainly appeared in the form of classic ancient books.

The exact state of its operation in the "three generations" depends on the construction and description of later generations of Confucianists.

Therefore, its influence on the Hongwu system can only be carried out in an abstract and tortuous way, which is first projected into Zhu Yuanzhang's consciousness, and then acted on the system construction through his intentional processing.

Obviously, there will be more cases of "not living up to the name" and "being the same as the real thing".

However, the subtle influence of ancient scriptures and ancient systems on Zhu Yuanzhang is undeniable.

Zhu Yuanzhang talked with the minister about the history of the scriptures and was keen on the historical facts of the ancient scriptures.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is gradually familiar with the ancient classics, and the ideal political order of the ancient times is indeed what he wants.

On the one hand, Wei Bao lived in the late Ming Dynasty, but on the other hand, he had to get involved in this kind of messy thinking from time to time, because Wei Bao often hesitated.

I don't know if what I'm doing right or wrong.

This also directly affects Wei Bao's planning for the development direction of the Tiandihui.

If the Ming Dynasty is useless, then it should directly overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish a new era.

But if the Ming Dynasty was mostly good, it was just a matter of corruption.

Wei Bao actually feels that he has the ability to set things right and restore the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!

Because Wei Bao is not very keen on being the emperor directly.

This is one of the advantages of Weibao, but also a major disadvantage of Weibao.

Because what people think, they do.

It is precisely because Wei Bao has a deep understanding of the system and culture of the Ming Dynasty that Wei Bao gives people the feeling that he is loyal and patriotic many times.

So no one would have thought that Wei Bao was secretly developing his forces in an attempt to overthrow the Ming regime.

However, with the development of heaven and earth, it will always threaten the survival of the Ming court and imperial power one day.

No one knows this better than Wei Bao himself.

Although the people in the Heaven and Earth Society are only bored and developing, they feel that as long as they can let the people under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society live and work in peace and contentment, it will be very good to have food and clothing.

But Wei Bao knew that there would always be a day when the heavens and the earth would be so strong that they had to expand externally, and at that time, the Ming Dynasty would be very laborious.
