Chapter 100: Journey to Mount Tai

On August 12, the eighth year of Chongzhen, Yang Suxia aimed to celebrate three great victories with a banquet in the palace, and all the nobles and officials above the five grades in Beijing were invited to the palace. By the time it was night, the ministers had already come to the palace early to wait.

When it was getting late, Yang Su took Wang Chengen and led a group of attendants to be late.

"You don't have to be polite, let's all take a seat." Yang Su took the lead in sitting on the main seat, and the ministers greeted him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed and took their seats.

After the ministers took their seats, Yang Su smiled and raised the gold bottle to the ministers and smiled: "The Qing army of more than 100,000 strong captives into the customs, I Ming even lost the war and lost the generals, the Beijing division was trapped in the country, to hear the news of the new city Jieyin, the Beijing Shishu, the empty alley celebrated, all rely on the soldiers to die, in order to break the Qing soldiers in one fell swoop, kill a duke, the Qing soldiers said that it is not good to send troops, with leather wrappers, crying out of the customs, this 30 years is unprecedented, deep enough for my Ming to breathe, the Qing Qing should drink this cup, and the world celebrates! ”

"Obey the order and celebrate with the world!" The ministers raised their glasses and drank together.

Yang Su waited until Wang Chengen poured a full wine for him and said: "Sun Ge old town guards Liaodong, take advantage of the Qing soldiers to enter the customs, send Guan Ning iron cavalry to attack Shenyang to attack it, every person is broken, beheaded more than 5,000 levels, this is the first time my Ming Dynasty invaded the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Ge Lao hard work, you Aiqing should be with me to pay tribute to Sun Ge Lao. ”

After saying that, Yang Su got up and raised the gold bottle to the north.

"Respect for Sun Ge Lao!" The ministers then got up and drank another drink.

After a while, Yang Su smiled at the ministers: "The third cup should be honored by my Liaodong soldiers, I remember North Korea, the world is known as deferential, suitable for distress, how should I sit idly by, if the weak do not help, who is virtuous, the strong escape punishment, who is afraid of power." In addition, North Korea is the domain of my Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is the court of the court. And the king division inside and outside the drive, Zhengqi mutual use, the Qing army was defeated, and the court was attacked by our Ming army, the emperor Taiji escaped, this battle of my Liaodong soldiers have great merit, I have no money and the reward of the brave lord! ”

"The emperor is benevolent and gracious, and the obedient are not in need; Righteous and martial arts, those who jump off the beam, although they are strong, will be killed! Xiao Ming raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and said to Yang Su.

The king of the DPRK said: The emperor has made a contribution to the DPRK that will never be forgotten. On the day of the bandang, if the emperor did not move the soldiers of the world, how could the small state be rebuilt to have today! In the near future, when an envoy came to Beijing to personally congratulate the emperor, envoys from more than 20 countries, including Ryukyu, Annam, Chenla, Siam, Champang, Java, Sulu, Manraka, and Ceylon, sent envoys to Beijing to inquire and send envoys to Beijing. Now I am in the Ming Dynasty, the internal difficulties are peaceful, the external worries are still solved, and there are more vassal countries to come to the court, which is a sign of my Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty is the master of my Ming Dynasty, and his martial arts are comparable to that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu. Wen Tiren also said to Yang Su.

Seeing that the bigwigs of the two parties were all patting Yang Su, the rest of the ministers praised Yang Su with good words, and simply made Yang Su the reincarnation of Ming Taizu.

Yang Su smiled faintly and sat on the high platform and did not refute, accepted them all, and the ministers even spoke one after another when they saw this, and after a while, Yang Su waved his hand to silence the ministers, and then smiled: "All of you here are my ministers of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty, and the five cars are rich and talented, I sleepwalked in Mount Tai yesterday, and after waking up, I occasionally got a poem, please evaluate, you must speak freely." Don't have any scruples just because I am the Son of Heaven. ”

Seeing that everyone was sitting and waiting with their chests up, Yang Su beckoned to Wang Chengen, who was serving beside him.

Wang Chengen nodded hurriedly, then stepped forward to stand on the stage, glanced at the ministers, and read aloud: "This poem is called Yongtai Mountain, and it looks like Mount Tai is black and mushy from a distance, and the top is thin and the bottom is thick. If Mount Tai is turned upside down, the bottom is thin and the top is thick! ”

After Wang Chengen finished reading, Xiao Ming, who had already made a draft in his stomach, suddenly opened his mouth in horror and was shocked. Not only Xiao Ming, but all the ministers in the audience fell into a deathly silence, but at this time, there was a sound of needles falling in the huge square.

"Good poetry, good poetry!" Xiao Ming was the first to react and shouted loudly.

"The emperor's poem is very wonderful, the emperor uses Mount Tai as a metaphor for my Ming, when it can be understood but not spoken, when it can be miraculous but not spoken. The first sentence looks at Mount Tai from afar, it is a metaphor for my internal and external troubles, it turns out that the thin mountain blocks the sun, so that it can not reach the foot of the thick mountain, so there is this thunderous words: such as Mount Tai upside down. His generosity and sadness, and his ambition to move the world, this emperor can't! This poem will surely go down through the ages! Xiao Ming sighed with reverence.

The ministers looked at Xiao Ming stupidly, not knowing what to say.

Yang Su smiled lightly and bowed slightly towards Xiao Ming.

Immediately, Yang Su turned his head to look at Wen Tiren and asked, "I saw that Wen Shoufu was silent for a long time, could it be that I didn't do a good job?" If there is something wrong, please also ask Wen Shoufu to correct it, so there is a teacher of one word, how can I be inferior to the ancients? ”

Wen Tiren's face remained unchanged, and after bowing and saluting, he stepped forward: "The emperor's first visit to Mount Tai, the choice of words is very appropriate, the language is slang, the true color is simple, the wind is different, all are amazing!" At first glance, the text is vulgar, in fact, it is clever in the rough, and it contains the philosophy of "replacement method", and the minister is intoxicated with the emperor's poem, and reads it silently in his heart, and deeply feels that this poem is hidden in the edge, the mystery is endless, and the fun of laying out the true meaning of the shocking world is more and more interesting to read! The emperor begs the ministers for their incompetence, and the ministers dare not change a word! ”

"The emperor's poem can be called the first hand since the poetry of Shenzhou, although Li and Du Yu failed to resist, what else do we care about?" Xiao Ming followed, then looked at the ministers present and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Lord Xiao's words are very good, the emperor's poem is magnificent, swallowing mountains and rivers, it can be called the world's finest, and the ministers dare not change a word!" Most of the ministers present stood up to bow down.

"Hahaha!" Yang Su laughed, and then waved his hand modestly, "You Aiqing is really too modest, as the Son of Heaven, I work hard every day on state affairs, and regard poetry as a small way. ”

"The emperor and the ministers have objections, the emperor's martial arts are comparable to Taizu, how can the ministers be compared, and please don't torture the ministers!" Xiao Ming admonished Yang Su with a straight face.

Yang Su smiled slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Suddenly, Wang Chengen pointed to Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and said: "The emperor's slave and maid just saw that there was a secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Fengyi, did not get up to answer, but his lips pursed slightly, and his expression was very disdainful!" ”

The ministers present all looked at Wang Chengen in shock, and they didn't know why such a eunuch wanted to sue at this moment.

Yang Su suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Fengyi coldly.

Zhang Fengyi was also stunned on the spot, and stood up resignedly, not knowing what to say.
