The new book "The Rise of Great Powers 1900" seeks collection.

————————————

The news that Yang Chao was named the king of the Ming Dynasty soon spread all over the world, countless old masters wept bitterly, and there were groups of scholars in Nanjing who went to the filial piety tomb to cry the tomb, and there were also crying temples in the Taimiao.

Among the officials, there were a number of resignations, some of whom were angry that the previous document scolded Yang Chao and then waited for death, some left immediately after writing the scolding letter, and some were less timid and left directly without making a sound, just worthy of their conscience.

However, the vast majority of the officials immediately wrote to congratulate them, and even after the Confucian family in Shandong learned the news, they immediately sent someone to send a special congratulatory document, and it was an ancient text written in official script.

Those officials who wore white clothes, brought filial piety to themselves, and sat in the yamen waiting for death, waited for several days, but did not see anyone come to arrest them, but made a red face, and finally left by themselves.

And those officials who hung the seal, the officials who resigned, Yang Chao found someone to replace them as soon as possible, and some of them were the low-level soldiers who were in the show to replace them, these people have been in the local area for several years, they are already familiar with the political situation, and they are young and ambitious, just to promote them to the top, of course, they still have to pass the exam before the selection, after all, not everyone at the bottom is down-to-earth, there are many cheaters or lazy guys.

A wave of resignations has made Yang Chao's bureaucratic team younger.

And Yang Chao's descendants, the officers who have been looking forward to this day for many years, the soldiers naturally have also taken a letter of allegiance, and some people even call Your Majesty directly in the song.

Yang Chao immediately replied to reprimand, saying that he was not the emperor.

That's right, not the emperor, after all these years of the Chinese political system and the Chinese cultural system. In the study of the etiquette system, Yang Chao felt that a new system should be introduced.

The Chinese system, to put it bluntly, is the Zhou ritual advocated by Confucianism.

Confucian culture, to put it bluntly, is Zhou culture, which is a culture formed by Confucius advocating the restoration of Zhou etiquette in the Spring and Autumn Period.

And Zhou culture. Naturally, it was formed during the 800-year reign of the Zhou Dynasty, and this culture was actually a slave-owning aristocratic culture, which was quite complex and developed.

With ritual music as the core, ritual refers to the ways and methods of various sacrifices, from weddings and funerals to sacrifices to heaven and earth, all of which have a set of self-contained processes.

When it was time for Zhou Tianzi to eat, he had to be accompanied by music, and the music officials at that time called it one meal, two meals, three meals, four meals, etc.

Later, the Zhou royal family declined. Many Zhou officials fled, and many vassal states also mastered the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, and Confucius also sighed: The Son of Heaven lost his official studies in Siyi. Deplorable.

Although the Zhou culture is a slave owner aristocratic culture, but it has been inherited and carried forward by Confucianism for thousands of years, and has been integrated into the Chinese blood. For example, religious culture, Buddhism, Christ, Allah. But which religion is suitable for governing China? Not one of a kind!

After the Chinese themselves abandoned the Zhou culture, they suddenly found that the spirit had no sustenance, and began to advocate Western culture, and learned to hate the feeling of not being colonized for hundreds of years, and at this time, the Celestial Empire remembered traditional culture again.

Yang Chao didn't want to follow this old path. Barbarians conquer civilized people, and then they will be conquered by the culture of civilized people in turn, and if the Chinese do not abandon their own culture, they will never be conquered by foreign culture.

Yang Chao is not only unwilling to give up Zhou culture, but on the contrary, he wants to promote her. Anyway, Confucianism has already spread out, at least receiving Korea, Vietnam, Japan, and the Ryukyus, so why not work hard to popularize the Zhou cultural system and become a universal rule in the world where Chinese power can reach unhindered.

It's as if later generations of the West used Western diplomacy to rule the world.

As for whether Yang Chao is the emperor or not, it really doesn't matter, push Zhu Cihuan to the position of the Son of Heaven, Yang Chao is just the king of the Ming Dynasty, like the king of Japan, the king of Korea, and the king of Vietnam, they are all princes under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, as if they have returned to the Spring and Autumn Period, and at that time, I believe that Japan, Korea and other countries were very welcome.

At the same time, the Eastern world, and even the wider world, formed a communication circle with the Son of Heaven as the core, so that the Zhou culture could reach anywhere he could, and the power of the Ming Dynasty would expand to the place where the culture reached, and the place where the Ming power could reach would in turn become the place where the culture spread, and the blade and civilization would expand alternately, and finally form a huge and complex world system.

When the time comes, obey this system and accept this civilized country, that is a civilized country, that is the Chinese country, that is, Zhuxia, and those who do not accept it are barbarians.

Of course, the role of the Son of Heaven, Yang Chao can also play, but Yang Chao's prestige is not enough, the background is insufficient, Zhu Mingzi's prestige is enough, Zhu Yuanzhang started by expelling Meng Yuan, in the eyes of North Korea and other countries in the Chinese cultural circle, it is a rebellion, Zhu Tianzi is very upright, and the Zhu family has been the emperor for three hundred years, and they can be more recognized.

Then Zhu Cihuan will be promoted to the position of the Son of Heaven, adopt the virtual monarch system, and the real power of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to Yang Chao.

Of course, Zhu Tianzi is no longer the son of the Great Tomorrow, and no one should have an opinion on giving him a Huaxia Heavenly Son.

Under this system, Yang Chao felt that he didn't need to fight for the position of the Son of Heaven, and it was good to be the king of the Ming Dynasty, he just hoped that his future generations would be reliable, don't give the Zhu family a chance, and when the time comes, the royal government of Japan during the Meiji Restoration will be bad.

However, that day probably will not appear in Yang Chao's lifetime, Yang Chao is only in his twenties this year, and he should have no problem living in his thirties and fifties, and there should be no problem in passing it on to the second generation at that time, as long as the Yang family is stable for three generations, the political system will be stabilized, and then Zhu Tianzi can only honestly be a son of heaven without rights, that is, to rob the world of the Ming Dynasty, and no one agrees.

At that time, they want to borrow the soldiers of Japan and Korea, and these two countries still have to think about it, the Zhu family has taken the Ming Dynasty today, whether they will seize Japan tomorrow, when all the vassal states are unwilling to interfere with their royal power, this Son of Heaven can only be like Zhou Tianzi, only as a symbol.

And Yang Chao is still very confident that in his lifetime, he can make civilization develop to the level of peace and civilization, even if he changes the dynasty, he is not bleeding, nor is he eradicating the roots of the previous dynasty, just like after entering the era of civilization, Yuan Shikai replaced Aixinjue Luo, and did not kill anyone.

Considering that it is too early for future generations, Yang Chao's purpose is to use Zhu Tianzi as the banner to regulate the Chinese civilization circle and expand the Chinese civilization, so as to obtain benefits for the Chinese, just as Westerners have spread Western civilization to the whole world under the banner of Christian civilization.

At that time, China was isolated step by step because it resisted this civilization. If Chinese can cultivate their own cultural circle at a time when Western culture is on the rise, will there still be that sense of cultural isolation?

So: "Meritorious Ministers? ”

Yang Chao replied: "This king will play the Son of Heaven!" ”

When Huang Fengfu sent the python robe, he suggested that Yang Chao canonize Wang Pu and others, and Yang Chao replied.

"The prince doesn't have to be so troublesome!"

Huang Fengfu sighed, he didn't expect Yang Chao to accept the canonization of King Daming, and he was still so stubborn.

Yang Chao smiled: "You don't understand. It's called justification. The power of the Son of Heaven belongs to the Son of Heaven, and the power of the king belongs to the king. ”

Huang Fengfu didn't understand.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "In the future, the Son of Heaven shall not be canonized, and he shall not be a prince." This is true of the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and North Korea. In the future, the world will be another world, and we must erect the banner of respecting the king. For example, the Spring and Autumn Qi Kingdom! ”

"Overbearing!"

Huang Fengfu shouted out without thinking, and his heart was excited.

Under the banner of respecting the king, the Duke of Qi Huan was the first to dominate in the Spring and Autumn Period, commanding the princes of the world to conquer Yidi in the north and Chuman in the south, and was majestic.

But what makes Huang Fengfu excited is the story behind it, Qi Huan Gong can dominate because of Guan Zhong's assistance, Yang Chao wants to practice domineering skills, naturally he can't do without the assistance of the prime minister, and the one who assists Yang Chao to achieve hegemony, except for him Huangfeng Mansion, who else has this qualification.

Thinking that he was going to become a figure like Guan Zhong, how could Huang Fengfu not be excited.

Yang Chao sighed: "That's right, the world in the future will be a world where domineering techniques are rampant. ”

Thinking of the domineering techniques of the American imperialists in later generations to dominate the world, Yang Chao didn't know if they still had this opportunity.

"Is the Son of Heaven still in Burma?"

Huang Fengfu couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Chao sneered: "Just take Myanmar to open the knife, let them know what it means to respect the king." I, the Ming Kingdom, took this first! But first ordered Korea, Japan, and Vietnam to tell them that the Son of Heaven was martyred in Burma, and the Burmese did not respect the Son of Heaven. ”

Huang Fengfu was stunned: "But what if the Burmese king dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and kills the Son of Heaven?" ”

How did the Burmese king Ping Dali kill Zhu Cihuan is indeed a little troublesome, but it does not affect the overall situation, Zhu Cihuan is, the earth is turning, isn't Zhu Cihong still there, anyway, there are more people who want him to be the emperor.

"Isn't there still the old emperor Hongguang?"

Huang Fengfu nodded vigorously, and sighed secretly in his heart, he is really a domineering person, this heart is ruthless, and the life or death of the Son of Heaven can be ignored.

But he loved it.

Then Yang Chao asked Huang Fengfu to arrange some wise people to understand Yang Chao's political ideas, and then sent people of tongue to the Korean countries to explain the righteousness to them, and told them that they should send troops to respect the king.

As long as these countries accept it, then the first step in politics will be launched, and in the future, with the help of the banner of the Son of Heaven, Yang Chao will have the absolute right to speak. (To be continued......)
