Chapter 177: The Neglected General [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Reward]
"At the moment of our birth, it was even more red from the sky, and there were blue birds and white tigers to protect each other."
"When our mother and son were bathing in the river, the five-colored ribbons floated down from the upper reaches and wrapped themselves, and the whole river immediately turned red and brilliant."
"Hahahaha."
"Hey, our Zhu Chongba, between Mr. Song's brilliant brushes, he is no longer a person, he is a god."
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's self-deprecating words, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen were both smiling.
However, Li Shanchang said slowly: "I think what Mr. Song said is not inappropriate. β
"The Son of Heaven is the god of the world."
Liu Bowen on the side also said: "Even if the marshal himself thinks it is not, let the people think it is." If there were no gods for the people to bow to, they would not be mortals. β
Listening to the words of the two of them, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Do you two think it's okay?" β
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen both nodded.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was hesitating.
At this moment, a report from the two tigers suddenly came from outside the door of the study.
"King, General Qi Heng asks to see you."
As the voice of the second tiger sounded, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately got up and shouted, "Quick, let Jun Tao come in." β
Then, Qi Heng's figure slowly walked in.
Qi Heng, who had just walked in, looked at Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him, and said with a smile: "Big brother, I just listened to what you said at the door, what is this to discuss, so happy." β
Look at Qi Heng walking in.
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, who were sitting in the chair, both changed their faces.
How long has passed, and Qi Heng seems to be missing.
But now, it's still here.
However, the two of them still hurriedly got up and bent slightly to Qi Heng who came in.
After hearing Qi Heng's words on the side, Zhu Yuanzhang also said with a smile: "Jun Tao, come quickly, come quickly." Just now, we were still discussing our enthronement edict with the two gentlemen. β
"Look, this is the edict of enthronement written by Mr. Song for us, but if you praise him, we don't know ourselves anymore, you see, is there any problem."
Looking at the edict handed over by Zhu Yuanzhang, Qi Heng took it and took a general look, shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's boring." β
"It's okay to give these jokes to those emperors who are not in the right position to give them a faΓ§ade, but if it's a big brother, you don't need these at all."
Listening to Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said in surprise: "Oh? How so? β
Qi Heng said: "The so-called edict on the throne is nothing more than to tell the whole world why the eldest brother can be the emperor." Those who are not in the right position are either rebels or usurpers, and many things cannot be said in the open, so it is natural to engage in some such jokes to fool people. β
"Otherwise, it won't be justified on the scene."
"But what about the eldest brother, born in poverty, saving the people from fire and water, facing the oppression of the tyrannical yuan, and resisting bravely, is there anything that can't be said?"
"So I said, what is the eldest brother like, just say it, you don't need these vain, is it that the experience of the eldest brother is very unbearable."
Listening to Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of approval, but Liu Bowen on the side couldn't help but say: "General, for generations, all emperors who ascended the throne have used such means to make the people worship the emperor as a god, so that it is not more conducive to the people to submit." β
In the face of Liu Bowen's words, Qi Heng didn't care, and directly said his thoughts.
"Instead of using these empty words to create a non-existent god, it is better to inform the world of the real situation, and let the people of the world know that it was our Emperor Zhu who laid down their current territory and created the beginning of a prosperous era."
"As for the strategy of mythology and fooling the people, it is not conducive to the jurisdiction of the imperial court."
"When life is good, the people will go to the temple, thinking that the gods and Buddhas have given them a good life. When life is bad, the people will also go to the temple and ask the gods to bless them, and if everyone is like this, where will the emperor of the court be placed. β
"The hundred officials of the imperial court have done so many things and done so many good deeds, aren't they all due to the gods, and they are grateful to the heavens and sages?"
"Such a foolish strategy seems to have a good effect in a short period of time, but in the long run, the people have no sense of belonging to the court, which is not conducive to the long-term of the dynasty."
"Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that this Great Yuan Dynasty and Song Dynasty, just a hundred years, you scholars are afraid that you have long forgotten the prosperity of the Tang and Song dynasties, for the people, this world is just a change of master, and you are all slaves of the dynasty."
"Therefore, I think that this edict on the throne should either not be done, but if it is done, it will be done well, and tell the people of the world that the Ming Dynasty is the world of the people of the world, not the master of the people, and whether the Ming Dynasty is good or not depends on the efforts of everyone."
"This is the bones of the Ming Dynasty, the world will not die, and the Ming Dynasty will not die."
Everyone listened to Qi Heng's words and felt refreshed.
Especially Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.
Everything they have learned in their lives is something that they learned in ancient times.
They are also all lessons learned from the bodies of previous dynasties.
But now, Qi Heng's words seemed to make them see something different.
Think about the ancient dynasties, which one did not pursue the concept of 'the whole world is not the king's land'.
Treat the world as a family.
Then use the idea of heaven and earth monarch and teacher to dominate the common people.
The emperor, that is a higher level than his relatives.
The emperor is equal to the country.
But is the emperor equal to the country?
The essence of the feudal dynasty, the imperial family itself is the largest slave owner and the largest landlord in the world.
Qi Heng's words are tantamount to changing the bones of Da Ming.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen also tasted the taste of these words, and couldn't help but inadvertently look at Zhu Yuanzhang on the side.
They all understood that if they could really do what Qi Heng said, it could be executed.
The Ming Dynasty will inevitably be different from the previous dynasties.
It is a difference from the bottom.
It's a makeover difference.
However, such a change is not a good thing for the emperor.
It is tantamount to reducing the importance and authority of the emperor.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't learn too much, he gradually tasted it.
I didn't expect that there were so many doorways in a simple edict of enthronement.
However, what Qi Heng said was only a superficial point.
It didn't go very deep.
And when Zhu Yuanzhang felt the gaze of everyone looking at him, he immediately pretended to have a simple expression and said: "It's just an edict to ascend the throne, how can there be so many doorways." β
"We don't understand, but we still agree with Jun Tao's words, don't engage in those nonsense words, just say what we are."
"This edict should be bluntly stated, we are from the poorest background, our family has no tiles, no clothes, when my father and mother are thinking, I can't even drink rice soup, our brother took off his clothes and wrapped our mother's feet, and the two tails of reed mats were buried for our father and mother."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words avoided the point pointed out by Qi Heng and adopted his method again.
After all, once Qi Heng's idea is really adopted, it will matter a lot.
It's like the relationship between the emperor and the imperial court, one is that the imperial court serves the emperor.
One is that the emperor is part of the imperial court.
Moreover, at the moment, it is just discussing the matter of the enthronement edict, and it is not good to involve a lot.
This is not the time to talk about that.
Seeing this, Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang on the side both arched their hands and said: "Do it!" β
Listening to their words, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and handed over the enthronement edict to Liu Bowen's hands, and said, "Since this is the case, then ask Mr. to write a new copy for us." β
Liu Bowen said with a smile: "Berwen is fortunate to be able to write such an edict on the throne, it is really lucky. β
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said to Li Shanchang on the side: "By the way, how is the formulation of the etiquette and law books of the new dynasty?" β
Li Shanchang got up and said, "Since March, Lu Chang has led a group of well-educated scholars to be busy in the Taishi Academy. All the necessary rituals, regulations, imperial calendars, bells, rhythms, music and dance, and costumes necessary for the imperial court are all being formulated. β
"It will be submitted in a few days, please rule on the higher level."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "We said a long time ago, Lu Chang is a capable person, and there is a treasure chest in his stomach." β
And Li Shanchang continued: "Also, the main hall of the palace and the Fengtian Hall have begun to take shape under the personal supervision of Hu Weiyong. β
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Hu Weiyong is also a powerful person, let's take a look at him in a while." β
Zhu Yuanzhang praised Lu Chang of Liu Bowen's lineup, and hurriedly praised Hu Weiyong under Li Shanchang, but no one was snubbed.
It's just that Qi Heng, who was originally specially called by Zhu Yuanzhang, seems to have no value in existence at the moment, these things are not up to him, he can't insert anything, and he doesn't want to insert anything.
seems to have been deliberately snubbed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But Qi Heng was so happy.
More than half an hour later.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang and others finally finalized the matter.
In the middle, there was no chance for Qi Heng to speak.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't keep him specifically, as if he was just calling him to go through the motions.
Of course, the etiquette on the face is still taken care of.
After everyone left Zhu Yuanzhang's study.
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen in the Shuai's Mansion walked together.
Li Shanchang was very proud at the moment, and his face was full of red light.
But instead, he said to Liu Bowen beside him: "Brother Bowen, congratulations, you have received great grace." β
"It seems that Shuoru Song Lian is just a wonderful pen, but Mr. Liu is a huge pen like a rafter, the first in the dynasty."
Liu Bowen smiled slightly and said, "How can you do it in the future, it's all the king's iron turning into gold." β
"By the way, just before the king entered the door, the elder brother closed his eyes and said three things, the name of the country, the capital of the country, and the edict of enthronement. And after the king entered the door, he really said these three things, as if he had heard the orders of the good elder brother. β
"It's a shame that Brother Good can't even open his eyes when he says what he says with his eyes closed."
And Li Shanchang on the side said: "Berwyn, you are not only the first in this pen, but also the best in this mouth." β
Liu Bowen smiled when he heard this.
However, after laughing, Liu Bowen seemed to remember something and said, "However, in the study today, didn't the good elder brother see something wrong?" β
Liu Bowen made a sudden recollection, but everyone knew that this was the focus of today's conversation between the two of them.
After hearing Liu Bowen's words, Li Shanchang smiled slightly and didn't say a word.
For today's situation, he Li Shanchang has long expected it.
It's just that he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
After all, the nursery rhymes that circulated in Zhang Shicheng's territory were secretly ordered by him to be passed on.
Li Shanchang smiled slightly, and pretended not to know: "What is Brother Berwyn referring to?" β
Seeing that Li Shanchang was pretending to be stupid, Liu Bowen couldn't help but say: "Now there are only you and me here, why should Brother Shanshan ask knowingly?" β
Hearing this, Li Shanchang no longer pretended, did not hide his smug mood at all, and said: "Today, the superior took the initiative to summon him to participate in political affairs, but our general said so much self-righteously, as if he was the best in the world, and he didn't even look at the superior. β
"How can such a person be liked by the superiors? It is also necessary to snub him. β
Li Shanchang's words, Liu Bowen didn't know, but he was always a little confused, and said: "Brother Shan, you and I have worked with the general, you should know the general's personality, he has never liked this kind of limelight." β
"But what's going on today?"
"Although the words of the great general are also refreshing to Berwyn, but how can the matter of the foundation be said so easily in front of the king?"
Liu Bowen's words, Li Shanchang didn't understand either, but he quickly figured it out.
said: "What's this, since he rescued Shangjiao Ridge from the beginning, he has never participated in the discussion of major matters, and the military and political affairs under the command of the upper position are also handled by several marshals and us." Originally, he didn't feel it when he was in power, but now that he doesn't have the weight of the upper position, he is naturally more anxious. β
"Although the general is famous and high-level, he is only a teenager after all, and he is in his early twenties, so it is not incomprehensible that he is anxious."
Listening to Li Shanchang's words and looking at the smug smile on Li Shanchang's face, Liu Bowen secretly shook his head.
Compared with Li Shanchang, he, Liu Bowen, really understands Qi Heng's methods.
As early as when he had just laid down Jinling, he had already realized that there was such a day, and secretly arranged many people for this, would it be as Li Shanchang said?
Whether it will be or not, he Liu Bowen doesn't believe it anyway.
However, since he Li Shanchang is so proud, he doesn't have to say anything.
Today's Li Shanchang seems to be the head of the civil servants, and he is not good at disturbing the other party's good dreams in the Spring and Autumn Period.
However, he recalled the performance of Qi Heng and Zhu Yuanzhang in the study today.
One deliberately snubbed.
One seems to be doing it on purpose.
is like what I said today, just to make Zhu Yuanzhang angry.
However, this is obviously not the time to think about this, Liu Bowen turned his head and said to Li Shanchang again: "By the way, Brother Shan, the king has said everything that should be said about the necessary things for the founding of the country in the past few days, but there is one thing, but he has not mentioned a word. β
Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What's the matter?" β
Liu Bowen checked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he cautiously said: "The one from Chuzhou." β
