Chapter 156: Moved the Xuanfu, the Yellow Dragon Banner of Zhengde
Compared with the emptiness of the West Street of the Bell Tower, the cross street south of the Bell Tower is crowded with people at this time, and it is very lively. Although they have been waiting for a long time, everyone's hearts are full of love and expectation for the emperor, and no one feels anxious or scratched, what an honor it is to be able to wait for the emperor.
However, some people have doubts, the emperor is the honor of ten thousand times, can he really let the people see the face of heaven? Doesn't the reader often say things like 'the son of a daughter can't sit down' or 'the white dragon fish suits, but the wise don't do it'?
Obviously, it was said that the holy car would set off at the end of the day, but now there is no one to see, don't cancel it, right? Everyone believes that the emperor will definitely not abandon everyone, but if the adults in the city advise, I'm afraid the emperor will have to obey? The emperor is a Ming Jun, and Ming Jun has to listen to advice.
"The holy driver is out, the holy driver is out......"
At this moment, two people ran over from the bell tower, one of whom many people recognized, it was the big-mouthed Chen Hei cat. There was a turmoil in the crowd, some were happy, some were puzzled, and some shouted.
"Chen Heimao, you are talking nonsense, the emperor should have come out from the east gate of the palace, how could he come out from the north gate from a long distance, do you want to say that the emperor wants to leave the Xuanfu from Andingmen? I don't think you're drinking too much again, or are you simply trying to trick us into leaving, so you can take a seat, right? ”
"Which one is going to lie to you?" Kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and Chen Heimao was very angry, "The emperor didn't live in the Guwang Mansion at all, we really saw it, the emperor came out of Gongzi Xie's mansion." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, how can the emperor live in Gongzi Xie's place, that courtyard is so big, and how many people are around the emperor, guards, servants, and ministers, it's no wonder if they can live there."
There is more than one person who doesn't believe it, Xie Gongzi is amazing, everyone admits it, everyone just thinks that he is talented, anyway, such a character from Xuanfu is also the glory of Xuanfu. But if even the emperor favors him, then he is really a collection of God's favor, and it is too jealous, why?
"You don't know yet, do you? A few days ago, Xie Gongzi didn't know what method he used, and bought more than a dozen craftsmen from several adults in the army...... "One day, the person who watched the excitement suddenly said: "You don't know, he doesn't know if he has broken his brain by reading, so he insists on being full of benevolence and righteousness, and first redeems those craftsmen, and the result is ...... Hehe, more than half of the people are gone!
It's called a chicken and egg fight, ha. I see, this Gongzi Xie was lucky in the past, and he had the identity of a thousand households in brocade clothes, so he did so many things. Last time, he helped Miss Yang redeem himself, and he also pretended to be generous, but Miss Yang was a person who valued affection, but when he went with him, he didn't know how thick the sky was, and he suffered a big loss, right?
Do you know what Zhou Juren said? There is an allusion to what Gongzi Xie did, what is Song Xiangzhiren! It's about the same as a big fool in ancient times, ha! In fact, this person still has to have self-knowledge, and luck alone can't eat for a lifetime. ”
This person made a long speech, and others listened to it and thought it was true, it was originally the truth that all the good luck in the world went to one person? The emperor came to Xuanfu, and everyone felt extremely honored, if they really lived in someone's house, it would not be a major event to glorify the ancestors!
Stained with the emperor's dragon energy, the feng shui of the house may change greatly, and future generations will at least get his ten or eight champions.
"If you don't believe it, forget it, the holy car will be here soon, you can watch it." Chen Heimao can say it alone, but he can't say that there are so many people here, in the end, he simply stopped talking, anyway, he just saw it and saw it clearly, and heard the big secret!
It wasn't just the two of them waiting on the Bell Tower Street, but those people were slow, and before they could run over, they were already separated by the team of guards, Lao Tzu, this is the only one! Chen Heimao thought angrily: If you don't believe it, pull it down, Lao Tzu is not uncommon to say it, when the next holy car arrives, if you don't ask me, Lao Tzu won't tell you a word, hum.
"Gotta ......"
While they were talking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves near the bell tower, and everyone had been in the border town for a long time, and they were no strangers to this sound at all. But this sound is so loud, obviously not one or two horses, if it is a queue, such a neat sound of horses' hooves is rare, is it possible...... Those who reacted quickly stopped and turned their heads to look north.
"It's the Yellow Dragon Banner!"
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a cavalry team coming out from under the bell tower, surrounded by cavalry with white horses and black armor, looking at the fierce temperament, it was obviously the border army of Xuanfu. Inside, it is a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit and carrying an embroidered spring knife, and at the front of the team, there is a flash of light, and when you look at it, it is a big bald head riding a tall horse, holding a big flag with both hands, the flag is yellow, and there is a nine-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it, which is the yellow dragon flag that only the heavenly family can use.
It's just that...... After the amazement, the people were at a loss, the flag was bright yellow, and the golden dragon on the flag also had nine claws, but could this be the yellow dragon flag? Ordinary people have naturally only heard of it, and they are all uninformed, so they have to look at those meritorious or talented people at this time, hoping to get answers from these knowledgeable people.
As everyone knows, those people are also inexplicable, Huaxia respects the dragon, and the dragon is also a symbol of the Son of Heaven, except for the fireworks set off during the New Year, Xuanfu City has very few places and things decorated with dragons. Ordinary people naturally can't afford to have exquisite carvings, and rich and noble families also have some scruples.
But it doesn't matter if the dragon is embroidered, but embroidering the dragon on the bright yellow banner is the patent of the Son of Heaven, and ordinary people must be arrogant with it, and the place of Xuanfu is very peaceful, and I haven't heard that anyone wants to rebel...... So this flag was made by the Holy Driver and his party, yes.
But this flag ...... Several meritorious squires were stunned, I didn't hear that the nine-clawed golden dragon still held something in his hand, and it was the same for each paw, what kind of name is this, is there any explanation?
And the things they hold are very strange: the top two claws are holding swords and shields, which can be understood; But then there was a bottle with two willow branches stuck in it...... This is the one in the hands of Master Guanyin? People are very confused, can this still be understood, what is the other one? It looks like a scale in a pharmacy, but there are two weighing pans with the scale rod in the middle, is this a magic weapon?
Then down is a hoe and a hammer, which can be seen and understood, but completely unknown; There are hoes and hammers, and others are not so surprising, but what does it mean to have a boat and a wheel in the claws of a dragon? Does this mean, is this a dragon or a sea dragon?
The last claw was even stranger, actually grabbing a feather, does this mean that the dragon has just finished eating? And it's still a big bird...... Creativity really can't be played around! Looking at the flag, Xie Hong couldn't help covering his face, he wanted to say that this loser had nothing to do with him, but in fact, although this flag was not painted by him, nor did he make it, but the original idea came from him...... Xie Hong kept slandering in his heart, my brother is idle, otherwise why talk about the Statue of Liberty if he has nothing to do! Moreover, the second brother's guy is too weird, after listening to that allusion, he actually came up with such a magical Yellow Dragon Flag, your flag is a dragon, not an eight-armed Nezha...... I've heard that there is also a matching slogan...... I'm weird, everything else understands it, but that feather is a god and a horse? I really didn't tell him Forrest Gump...... Xie Hong sighed, expressing in his heart that he couldn't understand, and on the other hand, he was very curious.
Including Xie Hong, when everyone was puzzled and puzzled, suddenly, all the cavalry shouted in unison, and the voice was as turbulent as an angry wave, which was extremely imposing, startling the people who were in confusion.
"Strengthen the army and defend the country; fairness, benevolence and righteousness; both agriculture and industry; land and sea at hand; …… Da Ming! ”
The people haven't reacted yet, but Xie Hong understands that these are the knowledge he instilled in Zhu Houzhao's classmates during this period:
The sword and shield symbolize national defense armaments, even if Xie Hong doesn't say this, Zhengde himself understands it; The balance is that Zhengde directly copied the allusion of the Goddess of Liberty, and the mutton fat jade bottle is probably the allusion in Journey to the West. Xie Hong once told Zhengde that when formulating laws, we must be based on the principle of fairness and have a benevolent heart in order to formulate the most applicable laws of the Ming Dynasty. The hoe and the hammer naturally represent the peasants and workers, Xie Hong talked about the most important surname of industry, and Zhengde also had a personal experience, without industry, how could there be a steady stream of toys?
Zhengde, who wants to be the king of the pirates, naturally will not forget the large fleet that he has never forgotten, so he added this layer of meaning to the flag; Xie Hong nodded and was very relieved, he didn't waste so much effort in vain. Although there is still a long way to go, at least his enlightenment education has achieved initial success, as long as these imprints are left in the heart of this great tomorrow, then one day, these ideals can be realized.
It's just that the last sentence, when the cavalry shouted the slogan, it was vague, and Xie Hong's ears didn't hear it clearly, he looked around in confusion, and found that the expressions on the faces of all the escort cavalry were very strange, like shame, and like they were laughing. Well? What is that slogan about? What Da Ming?
At this time, the people also reacted, it turned out that the objects on the flag all had meanings, and they were the ambitions of the great tomorrow! Everyone was excited, the last two had nothing to do with the people of Xuanfu, but the first two slogans were said in their hearts.
In this town, there is nothing more important than a strong army to defend the country, and the Tartars enter the army every year, whether they succeed or fail, the people of Xuanfu will suffer certain losses.
Loved ones may die on the battlefield, friends may be taken captive by Tartars, and their meager possessions may be burned and looted! How can we get out of such a miserable situation? There is an answer in the hearts of the people of Xuanfu, strengthen the army!
Only if the army is strong enough that the Tartars who bully the weak and fear the hard will not dare to attack; As long as the army is strong enough, it can be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, seal the wolf Juxu, and beat the Tartars so that they dare not look south; I only hope that the army is strong enough so that the tragedy of the people of Xuanfu year after year will not be repeated.
But for so many years, since Emperor Yongle, the imperial court has no longer been willing to strengthen the army. The adults of the imperial court always believed that strengthening the army was just a matter of consuming food and wages, anyway, the Tartars just looted in the border towns every year and then withdrew, and there was the Great Wall to block it, and it would not endanger the world after all, so what did he do?
And the martial artists are more hateful than the Tartars, and they need to be guarded against, just like boiling eagles and training dogs, only by making these martial artists hungry can they have the positive surname to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. As for how to reward the martial artists for their meritorious service, then it is not too late to discuss it slowly, anyway, if the adults are willing to discuss this matter, they will already give these vulgar martial artists a lot of face, right?
Even the few meritorious squires in the crowd did not agree with the traditional ideas of the scholars, after all, they were not one of them, and the safety of the border towns had a vital interest in them.
Many people were moved to tears, understanding the truth that only by strengthening the army can we defend the country, this is the good emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and today it is really the first emperor of the Shengming Dynasty.
The second fairness, benevolence and righteousness are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in fact, benevolence and righteousness needless to say, the core content of the Confucian and Mencian Tao inherited for two thousand years is about benevolence and righteousness, but if you talk too much, people will slowly become numb, just talking about it.
But what the emperor shouted out was fairness and benevolence, fairness, at least in the army, many people yearn for it, every soldier, every general is eager to account for military merits, adults or the court can deal with it fairly, at least cut more heads, and the merit and reward should be great, isn't it?
At least when you win a battle, in addition to the adults who are strategizing in the city, the soldiers who rush to the front should also have a share of credit, right?
At least when the battle is lost, in addition to punishing the scarred soldiers, the adults in the city who are strategizing should also share a little more responsibility, right?
Fairness, this is what the military and people of Xuanfu yearn for in addition to a strong army, if justice is added to justice, then the world is not full of peach blossoms?
There is no need to explain, everyone instantly comprehends the truth contained in the Yellow Dragon Banner, and everyone looks at the banner with eager and expectant eyes, which is where the dreams and wishes lie. And this wish is possible to come true, because the person who raised such a flag is the Son of Heaven of our Ming Dynasty and the saint of today!
Only a very small number of people, including Xie Hong, are still wondering, this doubt has nothing to do with the moving in the hearts of the people, Xie Hong cares about the last feather, what kind of meaning does that feather contain?
Xie Hong touched his chin, thinking about it very much, because he had been too busy recently, and Zhengde was mysterious when he was doing this, and he told Qian Ning to keep it secret, so he didn't inquire, thinking about why bother to disturb the interest of the second brother, anyway, it was nonsense.
But now that I see it, Zhu Houzhao is very orderly, Xie Hong couldn't help but nod in approval, maybe there is a more amazing meaning of this feather in the end?
Rich and powerful, revitalize the Ming, long live the Ming? Xie Hong guessed in his heart again and again, but he didn't seem to feel anything about each one, and in the end he had to turn his head to Zhengde and ask clearly.
Xie Hong turned his head, but he didn't see Zhengde who should have been in front of him on the right, and when he was about to look for it again, Zhengde's loud cry suddenly came from the front, the voice was still childish, but it was full of energy, and full of enthusiasm, obviously this shout came from the heart, but what about this content...... Xie Hong's body was crooked, and he almost slipped off the horse.
"Fashion Daming!"
Zhu Houzhao was very indignant, these guys didn't even work hard, and shouted such a handsome slogan that they came up with vaguely, you are bullying the king! Do you have?
But it doesn't matter, I came by myself, Zhengde was triumphant, shook his coat, and jumped out of the corridor under the bell tower.
Hmph, today is the beginning of me leading the fashion of Daming, what did the eldest brother say?
Yes, that's it...... Go your own way and let others be stunned!
