Chapter 611: Chen Li came out, and the smoke rose

Let's go three more today.,The update you owe.,Rollo must pay it back this month! Thank you all for your support

The first draft of "Chen Li" has been distributed to all the "heroes" who arrived in Yanjing, and everyone who came to Zhaoming Palace today has one copy. In fact, it is not a very thick book, but it is only tens of thousands of words, seven major articles, forty-nine chapters, and more than three hundred articles. Talk about ideals, talk about life, talk about rights, talk about obligations. All aspects of the Chinese state, nation, and individual have been roughly regulated.

The people who got "Chen Li" have already read it several times after spending a few hours. Naturally, they all have some ideas. It's just that now sitting in the Zhaoming Palace, looking at Chen Dexing with a serious complexion, no one spoke for a while.

Compared with the rituals that Confucianism has admired for thousands of years, the greatest advantage of "Chen Li" is that it is operable - the rituals taught by Confucianism are too complex and ancient, and the most crucial parts of it, the feudal and aristocratic democracy and the restraint on the power of the king, have been removed. Therefore, Confucian etiquette and music have nothing to show for themselves, but have no soul, and have become completely window dressing.

And "Chen Li" was newly established by Chen Dexing, the "King of Zhou Wu", not to decorate the faΓ§ade, but to really implement the ceremony. Therefore, its provisions are clear and feasible, which is fully in line with today's world.

However, "Chen Li" does not fully conform to the customs and habits of China today and some things that have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! It can be said that in some respects, for example, they are incompatible with the myths and legends of the gods and spirits in ancient China, and the traditional Chinese clan and filial piety system -- I am afraid that the traditional Chinese gods and spirits will become similar to the myths and legends of ancient Greece and Rome in the world of Tiandaoism! Moreover, the influence of "Chen Li" on the Chinese clan system should not be underestimated, and the admiration of the inheritance system of the eldest is actually a negation of the "righteous gate"!

And under the influence of the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty. The powerful clans in China often exist in the form of righteous families that are not separated.

It can be said that "Chen Li" is the revisionism of Chinese civilization! And it is a major correction! Its strength can really be compared with the upheaval of the Western Zhou Dynasty in the past.

In addition, "Chen Li" also restored the feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The aristocratic system of China was rebuilt, and the status of agriculture, industry and commerce was improved. The social status of the scholars was reduced. What's more, "Chen Li" has drastically reduced the right of a poor scholar to become an official by examination -- of course, there are still officials who take the examination, but they cannot be a county bureau-level official in one step, and they can only take the examination for a small official who runs errands first.

Moreover, the provisions of the "Chen Li" are not the same thing as the policies being implemented by the Chen Ming authorities. The policy of the Chen Ming court can be changed at any time, and once it becomes a "rite", it is the foundation of Chinese civilization, which cannot be changed casually.

Even if Chen Dexing dies, his heirs can't change "Chen Li". Otherwise, it's a "bad manner"! This would directly threaten the stability of the Chen dynasty.

Unlike the Zhou rites, which were only practiced among the nobles, the "Chen Li" is the ritual of the whole of China, and the original text of "Chen Li" is to be used as a teaching material for every Chinese people to know. Perhaps, in the future, the Chinese people will have a volume of "Chen Li". This "Chen Li" is the "covenant law" of the Chen dynasty and the Chinese people, or the public "covenant law", or the ancestral system established by the founding emperor and the king of the Ming Dynasty. It is the embodiment of the sacredness of the Chen dynasty. Unless the future Emperor Chen Ming goes crazy, he will never change the main content of "Chen Li".

In other words, once "Chen Li" becomes a gift of China, the interests of scholars and doctors will be damaged forever. Those scholars and doctors who have relied on the imperial examination for generations to maintain their families. It will inevitably weaken.

And how huge the power of the class of scholars in the Southern Dynasty was, who in the audience did not know?

""Chen Li" is good, but the changes are too big and urgent. If you are uneasy today, there is still the son of the Zhao family in Jiangnan. If you want to implement it, you are afraid of a resurgence of smoke. ”

The first to speak was Xia Gui. He is the predecessor of Anfeng's generals, and he is the same generation as Chen Dexing's grandfather. A while ago, he personally led troops to attack the Mongol-controlled Shuntian Road, and joined forces with the Ming Shang Army led by Land Rover. A large amount of food was also provided to provide relief to the refugees in Henan. Later, they were the first to rush to Yanjing, and as soon as they entered the city, they represented millions of Shuli in Huaixi to persuade Chen Dexing to ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible. also brought his baby granddaughter to Yanjing, wanting to send it to Chen Dexing's palace as a concubine.

The attitude of support is very distinct! And the relationship between this and Chen Dexing has always been very good, if it were not for his soldiers and horses to rescue him by archery in the past, Chen Dexing would have let the Mongols kill him. Afterwards, he did not come out to fight for merit, giving Chen Dexing the opportunity to be the master of the first army. Chen Dexing naturally can't forget this kindness.

Xia Lian'er, the granddaughter of Xia Gui, has already booked an imperial concubine, and she will be able to enter the palace as soon as Chen Dexing ascends the throne.

As for Xia Gui himself, with the credit of ensuring the rescue of the river and helping each other with grain and straw twice, a duke is stable. And Xia Jiajun will also be the same as Li Jiajun, who will be sealed overseas - Xia Gui himself will not go abroad, he is almost seventy years old, his beard and hair are white, although his body is still strong, but he is not the age to be able to travel thousands of miles across the sea, so he will stay in Yanjing to retire peacefully.

After listening to Xia Gui's advice, Chen Dexing just sneered: "What is there to be afraid of when the smoke rises again?" This "Chen Li" is the foundation of the thousand-year-old prosperity of China, how can such hypocrites stop it? ”

Xia Gui just sighed: "Those hypocrites have nothing, it's just a pity that the flower world in Jiangnan is gone......"

The room was full of "heroes", looking at each other, and their eyes were full of helplessness.

It could have been effortless to take Jiangnan, and the big guys could get a lot of votes as long as they followed. But as soon as "Chen Li" came out, why did the Jiangnan Shi Doctor's regimental training army have to work hard, right? Maybe it will break Jiangnan to pieces!

Although Chen Dexing can also seal these scholars overseas. However, overseas feudalism is a long-term benefit, and those lands have only investment and no harvest in the early stage - the kind of good land that has a large amount of income in the early stage, Chen Dexing will not give it to outsiders, either directly under his own jurisdiction, or give it to his descendants and the children of the Chen family.

And the territory that is taken out and sealed to outsiders is either barren and barren, or it requires a lot of troops to suppress it. There is no fat meat that can easily get into your mouth!

Such a "seal" is not so much a reward, but rather a use of the princes' strong military and financial resources to open up territory for China!

Therefore, while Chen Dexing divided the feuds, he also allowed the princes and powerful to retain their territory in China for a certain period of time. He also asked these princes to split their respective families, some of them went out to open up the country, and some of them became Ming nobles, so that they would not fail to open up outside and lose the future and fate of a clan.

However, it is impossible for a wealthy family of Jiangnan scholars and doctors who have several thousand regimental training in their hands to occupy territory -- this territory in Jiangnan is not the same thing as the Central Plains, Sichuan, Huaixi, and Jinghu. Those places have been in war for many years, they are all poor places, and there are few people. It is no exaggeration to say that any county in Jiangnan is richer than most of the prefectures in the Central Plains, and the population is also larger!

The total population of the entire northern Han region was less than 10 million, while the population of the 5th Route in the south of the Yangtze River was as high as 70 million or 80 million - in the 13th century, population was wealth!

Chen Dexing's tone was calm, but his eyes were not directed at what kind of "hero", but more like talking to himself.

"In fact, the matter of "Chen Li" and the disgust of Dr. Jiangnan Shi are all a sharp word at fault! If the Lone King divides the Huahua World in Jiangnan to them, will they still oppose "Chen Li"? But Jiangnan is rich, and if you play it well, tens of millions of taxes per year are stable. And the population of Jiangnan is also large, at least seventy or eighty million! Whether it is the reclamation of the Northland, the development of Liaodong, or the colonization of overseas, which one is inseparable from the population? Without these 70 or 80 million people, there are 10 million people in the northland, and few of them can be sent out for colonization until the death of King Lone. This Jiangnan, the lonely king must be held in his hands! ”

His voice did not rise or fall in the slightest, but all the "heroes" shook their bodies.

Chen Huaiqing said coldly: "The posts to those wealthy families in Jiangnan have been sent out a long time ago, and they are coming...... Naturally, it can be discussed. If you don't come, you are still loyal to the Zhao family, so what else is there to say? ”

Now people from all walks of life are coming to Yanjing one after another, those who are close have arrived, and most of those who are far away have also sent people to ride fast horses to greet them. But few of them came from Jiangnan!

Chen Dexing smiled faintly: "Let's discuss "Chen Li", we only need to consider whether it will be beneficial to the prosperity of China. If there is a benefit, it will be implemented, if it is not, it will be corrected, and the rest do not need to be considered! As for Gangnam...... The lone king led his troops to clean up! It's just a group practice, but how can a rabble resist the elite of the lonely king? ”

There was a snap, but it was the old man Xia Gui who was slapping, and his old face was also full of smiles. Huaixi is close to Jiangnan, and he doesn't dare to shirk the slightest bit on the issue of crusading against Jiangnan!

Now because of the appearance of "Chen Li", it seems that Wentori Jiangnan will not work, so let's fight!

After understanding the overall situation, it is very clear what to do later.

Xia Gui stood up and saluted: "Your Royal Highness King Ming, your meaning has been understood, and you have set "Chen Li" for thousands of years in China...... Chen Xia Gui is willing to follow the king and participate in the grand event! The minister asked the king to take the throne of the emperor as soon as possible, and lead us to the south to conquer the remnants of the Song Dynasty, first unify China, and then open up the four seas! ”

Old man Xia took the lead in making a statement, and the other people in the room also stood up and saluted.

"The ministers respectfully ask the king to take the throne as soon as possible, and the ministers are willing to follow the "Chen Li", and are willing to follow His Majesty to the south to save hundreds of millions of Shuli in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Chen Dexing looked at these military leaders in the room with a smile, although these people are all treacherous, but they always return to understand the current affairs, and they also have some horses in their hands, which can be used. When he became the emperor, he took them with him to go on the expedition, and he didn't need them to send troops, as long as they themselves followed, so as not to cause something in the rear of their soldiers and horses.

In the regimental training in Jiangnan, there are 100,000 soldiers, and they are afraid that they will not be defeated? (To be continued......)
