The sound of the piano ripples, peaceful and upright, making people listen like a spring breeze.

Outside the window, it is also full of spring, with green grass and flowers, rippling lotus. More than a dozen men and women wearing Confucian robes or Taoist robes sat in the flower hall of the lotus pond in the Zhaoming Palace, with a solemn face, quietly listening to Cui Yue'er stroking the qin in the hall. All of them looked like each other, and the fragrance of tea was fluttering in the flower hall at the same time.

Cui Yue'er's singing voice also rang out, elegant and beautiful: "The clouds are rotten, and the clouds are many." The sun and the moon shine in Huadan and Fudan tomorrow, and the stars are rotten. The sun and the moon are bright, and they are in one person. The sun and the moon are constant, and the stars are in line. Four o'clock from the scriptures, the surname Yuncheng. Yu Yu talks about music, with the spirit of heaven. Move to the sages, don't listen to it. The falcon is like a drum, and it is like dancing. The essence has been exhausted, and the clothes are gone......"

She sang a poem "Qingyun Song" in ancient times, according to legend, when Emperor Shun retired from the Zen position to Dayu, who had meritorious work in controlling the water, talented people, hundreds of officials and Emperor Shun sang this song together.

Dayu controls the water, Chen Dexing governs the captives, but there is a co-worker, but the son of the Zhao family refuses to be Emperor Shun and let the world to King Chen Daming.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Cui Yue'er looked faint, nodded lightly, and then retreated.

This time in Zhaoming Palace, all the heroes who came were heroes from all over the world, or people who thought they were heroes. Even Li Pu, who had been the son of the Tang Dynasty, came. Now the war in the north has basically come to an end. The armies of Guo Kan and Yang Axi occupied Jingzhao Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Pingliang Mansion, Gongchang Road and other places abandoned by the Mongols in early March. The other two armies under the command of Land Rover and Monk Liu also occupied Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Mansion (Luoyang), Nanyang Prefecture, Guide Mansion and other places in March and early April. He also joined forces with the Xia Gui and Gao armies of Chen Dexing in response to Chen Dexing in the Northern Expedition at Shuntian Road and Nanyang Mansion.

So far, the northern Han land has been basically recovered. Although Chen Ming's direct control area is still not large. But it has already taken most of the strategic points and symbolic large cities in the Northland. It's like the lord of the Central Plains.

Since ancient times, those who have won the Central Plains have the world!

Chen Dexing, who owned the Central Plains. He already has the qualifications to be called the emperor and the state.

However, Chen Dexing has always been more thoughtful, even being an emperor makes a difference. It's not willing to do a few auspicious things casually. Then a yellow robe was added, and the hundred officials persuaded him to take the emperor Laozi as one.

And he has always flaunted revenge, and if he wants the Son of Heaven to naturally learn from Comrade Wuwang Ji Fa, and assemble the princes of the world. Settle the etiquette first, and then accept the princes' support to ascend the throne and become emperor—this would look more like a legitimate emperor than a usurper traitor.

This set of things is called the right thing in the world in ancient China! That is, whether this world is obtained from the right path. Dayu ruled the water, King Wu cut down, the first emperor unified Liuhe, and Han Gaozu Ping Qin destroyed Chu. They can be regarded as winning the world with the right path. And the ancestor of the Zhao family, Chen Qiao, mutiny, and the yellow robe, is a typical example of the world's injustice. So after becoming the emperor, I didn't worry about this and that all day long, and finally came up with a way to abolish my martial arts, anyway, I didn't want to provoke the barbarians when I was a shrunken turtle, right? Who knew that in the end, the barbarians were able to win the Central Plains, and it also caused a catastrophe in history!

And Chen Dexing's world seems to be extremely positive, chasing barbarians, recovering the Central Plains, and the credit is not inferior to that of King Wu of Zhou. But he also had something wrong - he was born as a courtier in the Song Dynasty. And he was also a traitor, who made chaos in Lin'an and harmed the world of the Great Song Dynasty.

And he can't expect the stupid emperor of the Song Dynasty to abdicate and give way to Xian, even if Zhao Yu is willing to let in. As soon as the Great Song Confucian ministers refused to back down. The current Lin'an, but when the people are in the Ying Dynasty and vow to protect the Great Song Dynasty!

Since the Great Song Dynasty refused to give in - before the year of Jiazi in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Ming has been using the Zhao and Song dynasty names, which shows that Chen Ming takes the Zhao and Song dynasties as the orthodoxy of the world - then Chen Dexing can only use the princes. Will be a hero's way to achieve legitimacy.

This is the same as the fact that the Political Consultative Conference should be convened before the founding of the Red Dynasty in later generations. However, Chen Dexing's version of the "Political Consultative Conference" also discussed the formulation of a "Chen Li," the highest code of conduct for the Chinese nation. This seems to be more important than ascending the throne and becoming an emperor!

Because of the Ming Dynasty established by Chen Dexing. It's not Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty, which closed the door and locked the country. It is a Ming Dynasty determined to spread Chinese civilization all over the world and establish the world of Chinese Datong - just like the Zhou Dynasty in the past.

If there is no "Chen Li" to distinguish Huayi and educate the Quartet. Then Chen Dexing can spread the genes of China at most, and there will not be a Chinese world with the same world.

In addition, "Chen Li" is also extremely valuable to the current Ming Dynasty. Because the Ming Dynasty had not yet established a direct ruling power in various parts of China, warlords, princes and powerful still existed in large numbers. And Chen Dexing doesn't intend to exterminate them all - these forces also belong to Huaxia and can be used to open up the four seas!

Moreover, Chen Ming's mode of ruling the world is also different from that of previous dynasties. Chen Ming did not follow the route of centralizing power since the Qin Dynasty, but the path of Zhou-style decentralization and autonomy. Therefore, the process of establishing and consolidating rule at the local level was more complicated, and it was carried out at the same time as the division of feudal lords and the cultivation of gentry.

In this process, the role of "Chen Li" cannot be ignored.

Therefore, those heroes from all walks of life who have traveled thousands of miles to Yanjing will discuss the content of "Chen Li" with Chen Dexing in this flower hall in the imperial garden of Zhaoming Palace every day.

Since this "Chen Li" is to be used to educate all mankind, Chen Dexing cannot be done behind closed doors alone, and it is still necessary to brainstorm.

Moreover, the third article of "Chen Li", "Monarchs and Ministers", is used to regulate the relationship between monarchs and ministers, which is directly related to the vital interests of heroes from all walks of life - at present, "Chen Li" has drawn up seven chapters.

The first article is the great harmony of the world. It is about educating all mankind and establishing the lofty ideal of the Chinese world. Chen Dexing is ready to turn it into the ideal of the whole of China!

The second article is the only way of heaven. The religion he talked about is, of course, to put Tiandao above all religions and establish its status as the state religion of China.

The third article is the monarch and the minister. It is about the relationship between the monarch and the minister and the order of the upper and lower levels. including the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the feudal monarch; the relationship between the Son of Heaven and his retainers (courtiers who did not have fiefdoms); the relationship between the feudal lord and the minister; the relationship between the Son of Heaven and a vassal (a vassal who has a fief but does not have a state); the relationship between the feudal lord and the vassal; the relationship between the central and local governments (direct or feudal); the relationship between the central government and the feudal state; the relationship between the monarch and the gentry; the relationship between the monarch and the common people, and so on.

The fourth chapter is the father and the son. It is about the family order of the Chinese world. For example, a man can marry several wives - of course, this is limited and hierarchical, and the number is determined according to the rank of the son of heaven, the feudal king, the vassal, the direct minister, the gentry (the gentry belongs to the direct minister), the commoner, the serf, and the slave. The largest of them was the Son of Heaven, who could have up to thirty-six wives and concubines. In addition, inheritance of family property and serving parents are also the focus of the chapter "Father, Father and Son". The two principles of priority and responsibility of the elder have been determined - Chen Dexing's idea is that rights and obligations are equal!

The eldest son can inherit most of the family property and all fiefs and titles, but must bear corresponding obligations, including serving his parents, taking care of his younger siblings, guarding ancestral tombs, and military service of nobles.

As for the sons who are not eligible for inheritance (titles and fiefs), the responsibilities to their parents and family are much lighter. Their main responsibility is to spend their own business, build their own family, and ensure that the family legacy is maintained when the succession is weakened. In fact, it is to encourage the eldest son to leave his parents and go to a distant place, which is the need of China to open up the world - if they all stay at home and be a filial son, who will educate and liberate the people of the world?

The fifth article is Shinong industry and commerce. This is about the people, first of all, "the equality of the four people" and "the equality of the gentry". That is, as long as they are citizens of China and are civilians, they are equal no matter what profession they do. Moreover, as long as the commoners bought the status of the gentry, they could be equal to the nobles and had the same rights (mainly the right to vote). The second is the rights and duties of the people, including the gentry—the principle of equality of rights and duties, of course. The commoners had less political and economic rights than the nobility, had no right to vote, and did not have granges. Then they also have less responsibilities than the nobility, there is no compulsory military service, and they only need to pay taxes according to the law.

The gentry, while having the right to vote and equality with the nobility, were liable to pay more taxes. Therefore, the gentry had a minimum tax limit, and the punishment for tax evasion by the gentry was heavier than that of commoners and gentry.

The sixth is the dress of the courtesy. It's the head and the foot, the singing, the talking, and the writing - it's wide, but it's also necessary! In fact, this is the education and brainwashing system of the Chinese world. The principles of the same sound, the same language, the same language, the same customs, the same system of clothing, and so on must be implemented in the most resolute way. All countries entering China must be Chinese-made in terms of language, writing, customs, clothing and other aspects!

The seventh article is about educating and cultivating talents. This is in charge of education, and compulsory education for all is of course the goal. However, it was also achieved in stages, first with aristocratic and elite education, and then gradually with popularity. And what to teach is also to be prescribed. Referring to the current curriculum of Tiandao Academy, the primary and secondary education systems are established with subjects such as Chinese culture, natural science, Tiandao classics, military sports, and handicrafts. Then, on this basis, higher and specialist education is developed.

It can be said that a "Chen Li", seven chapters, is all-encompassing, condensing all aspects of Chinese civilization. This is a gift that can rule the world! When I first heard that Chen Dexing was going to "make a ceremony", the heroes of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were still a little suspicious. The comparative etiquette system is the core of Chinese civilization, and so many Confucian scholars all over the world are not engaged in this? Chen Dexing actually wanted to use his own strength to do something that hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars had not done well for thousands of years, and he was really a little self-conscious.

However, when they actually read "Chen Li", they suddenly had a sense of epiphany, it turns out that the Chinese etiquette system can be explained clearly in simple, clear and unambiguous language.

Once it is clearly explained, the ritual system becomes operable. Chen Dexing's ceremony can be implemented all over the world.

A "Chen Li" can rule the world! (To be continued......)
