Nine hundred and thirty-one water virtue
Once you put on the yellow robe, everything will be different.
There is no doubt about that.
From the moment Xiao Ruxun put on the yellow robe, he felt this world-wide difference.
To put it simply, as a commander of the army, he can only use military law to restrain his subordinates, not only is the effectiveness a little worse, but military law can only manage the army, but not the officials, and everything must be negotiated.
However, once he becomes the emperor, the power in the name of imperial power, which is a combination of military power, financial power, personnel power, and high prestige, will be unimpeded in this land, and no one will dare to oppose it.
After putting on the yellow robe, in addition to the fact that the third chapter of the law is not allowed to destroy the Jingshi, Xiao Ruxun also gave another order, and now the entire military camp is busy with this matter.
Change all red military flags to black flags, and if the color of the military uniform worn by the soldier cannot be changed, a black cloth scarf will be used around the collar, and it will exist in the form of a black scarf, indicating that he is Xiao Ruxun's soldier, and the whole army will be the same, even if it is the firehead army and the transport soldiers.
The black flag has the word "Qin" written on it.
On the surface, it seems to be the meaning of Qin Guogong, but what exactly does it mean, all the generals and close ministers understand what Xiao Ruxun means.
However, after understanding what Xiao Ruxun meant, some people raised different opinions on this.
"Your Majesty, Shen has always caused trouble to depose the emperor, and now he is even more guilty of killing the king, and the world is about to collapse, Your Majesty's crusade against Shen has always been to serve the heavens and rebel against the sky, to save Shenzhou from military disasters and connect the people to avoid being ruined, dignified and upright, now the Ming Kingdom will not be a country, and it is no longer possible to rule the land of China, Your Majesty has replaced it in accordance with the will of heaven, therefore, the minister thinks that it seems slightly inappropriate to use black as the color of clothing."
Chen Li, the former waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, was a group of people who were co-opted with Han Zheng, and now it is natural to raise this issue with his professional orientation, Xiao Ruxun was not angry, and said with a pleasant face: "With the end of the five virtues, the Ming Dynasty is the fire virtue, I want to replace it with the water virtue, why not?" ”
Chen Li slowly spoke: "Da Ming is a fire virtue, if Your Majesty is a water virtue, then water overcomes fire, it seems a little inappropriate?" Why doesn't Your Majesty reign over the world with his virtues? This will also demonstrate His Majesty's benevolence. ”
Chen Li means that your general Dai Ming called the emperor should follow the trend, and when the time comes, it is good to enter the Beijing division and force the little emperor to take the Zen position, from the time of Wang Mang, the five virtues and restraint will be turned into the five virtues, and the rulers of all dynasties have adopted a more moderate theory of the five virtues rather than the five virtues in order to flaunt their legitimacy.
Shall we save face?
Xiao Ruxun naturally understood what this meant.
Before Wang Mang, in the eyes of the Han people, the succession of dynasties was expounded by the theory of five virtues, stipulating the virtues of dynasties and determining the legitimacy of dynasty rule.
Later, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, in order to flaunt his orthodoxy, accepted Liu Xiang's more moderate theory of the five virtues and symbiosis, in order to flaunt that his dynasty was born from the Han and was better than the Han, and replaced it with natural righteousness, but it was useless, and it was soon overthrown violently.
But this statement is considered a good fig leaf by the society under the prevalence of Confucianism, they want face, status, and dignified, even if they rob other people's inheritance, they can't clearly say that I was robbed, but to say that I was taken according to the will of God, God gave it to me, I have to ask for it.
That sounds good.
This method continued until Meng Yuan's attack on the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang's army to overthrow Meng Yuan was another level of replacement.
Lao Zhu hates Confucianism and is not happy with those vain things, plus Meng Yuan is a foreign regime, Lao Zhu thinks that it is natural for me to overthrow it, and there is nothing bad to say, so he adopted the theory of five virtues and mutual restraint, and replaced Meng Yuan's gold with fire.
But Xiao Ruxun's situation is different now, the yellow robe can't be hyped up to the outside world, it can only be said that after entering the Beijing Division, the emperor is forced to issue an edict of abdication, so that it is still within the scope to replace it, and it is more justifiable to establish the national virtue of the new dynasty with the theory of the five virtues, isn't it?
At least in the future, the historical concept will not be made up blindly when writing history books.
What's more, the least favorite thing for Confucian children is the word "Qin", everyone knows that Confucianism and Qin don't call each other, Qin let the Legalist family govern, and Confucianism has become a cannon in the wild, depressed, can you like Qin?
Chen Li naturally didn't know that Xiao Ruxun was not interested in this set in his heart.
Xiao Ruxun likes Qin, likes it very much, and likes what the word "Qin" contains in every sense.
And the biggest obstacle no longer exists, and whatever virtue he wants is what virtue he wants.
"Chen Shilang's words are wrong."
Zhou Yao suddenly came out of the queue and said: "The Ming Dynasty was stolen by rebellion, and the emperor became a puppet, saying that it was the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was Shen Zheng who was in power and acting recklessly, and the Dashuai crusaded against Shen Zhengyi, and the Ming Dynasty has been lifeless under the ravages of Shen Zheng, if you take Tude, I don't know if the new dynasty was born by the Ming Dynasty or by Shen Zheng?" Could it be that this new dynasty was born out of rebellion? ”
Chen Li's eyes widened.
Why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?
Shen has never overthrown the Ming Dynasty as emperor, how can there be such a statement? Can he still replace Daming's fire virtue alone?
Are you kidding?
Chen Li said with a stunned face: "How can there be such a statement? I ......"
And there is a lot of truth in that! Your Majesty, the minister thought that His Majesty would rebel against the heavens, destroy Shen Zhengyi, establish a new dynasty in the ruins, defeat the enemy, and take water virtue, not soil virtue! To show that I am the Great Qin to do everything in the world to rebel! ”
Han Zheng suddenly interrupted Chen Li's words, Chen Li looked at Han Zheng who was full of nonsense with a surprised expression, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.
He didn't go on, because everyone came out next and agreed with Xiao Ruxun's suggestion to set the new dynasty as Shuide.
Everyone is a smart person, at this time you are at odds with the emperor who has just decided to be the emperor, what are you doing?
Right now, our new emperor has made it clear that he doesn't intend to settle it peacefully!
He's going to attack the city, he's going to build a new nation from the ruins!
What do you want?
Han Zheng glared at Chen Li fiercely.
"Hahahaha, okay, since that's the case, then it's decided, gentlemen, it's time to prepare to attack the city, the new dynasty must have a new atmosphere, now it's December 25, the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, and there are six days to go before the New Year, I hope that when the New Year comes, the new dynasty can also be born like the first birth of the rising sun, and then, everyone will celebrate the New Year together in Beijing."
Xiao Ruxun said.
Everyone understands that our new emperor decided to clean up the Jingshi before this year, and then on the occasion of the New Year, the Jingshi officially ascended the throne as the emperor, announced to the world, changed the yuan by the way, and announced the birth of Daqin.
After the meeting ended, Chen Li followed Han Zheng back to his tent.
"Shujie, why are you stopping me? Shouldn't the new dynasty take Tude? Water overcomes fire, isn't this clear that we are rebelling and usurping the throne and standing on our own? How do you make the people of the world view the new dynasty? What do you think of us? ”
"Isn't it?"
Han Zheng glared at Chen Li: "Do you think that our Majesty chose Qin as the country name just because he was named the Duke of Qin?" If he cared about this matter, he wouldn't have chosen Qin as the country name at all! ”
"Isn't it?"
This time, it was the turn of the second monk Chen Lizhang to be confused.
"You're such a fool! I don't think much about anything else at all, no wonder I persuaded you to agree, you didn't think so much about feelings, did you? ”
"How can I not think so much? What are the benefits of staying in Nanjing as a loyal minister? When you get old, you are an idle official, it is better to follow to Beijing to fight, it's not better now, we are all founding heroes! ”
Chen Li whispered, "Isn't this the most important thing? ”
"Important is important, but you have to figure out that our Majesty has just decided to ascend the throne, and now is the time when you need to establish prestige, no matter what you can't disagree with, you can raise objections, but you can't insist, if Your Majesty insists on his opinion, you can't continue to quarrel, understand?"
Han Zheng's face was furious.
Chen Li hesitated, but nodded in the end, indicating that he would not continue to insist.
But for some reason, he was always a little scared of this new national name.
