Chapter 231: No Waste
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, took out a brocade box painted with gold, only one foot square...... There is no doubt that this is the human skin of Liangguo Gong Blue Jade.
How to say it, Xu Jingchang's mood is very complicated.
He also looked through the file, and relied on Lan Yu to openly ask for the position of the Taishi, that is, there is a way to take death. Not to mention his various illegal acts, Zhu Yuanzhang killed him as a matter of course, and it is reasonable to peel off his skin.
Two words: deserved!
But with the passage of time, those who used to experience the way of Lan Yu's death have grown old one after another. The big guy remembers more and more that he led the army, crisscrossed the desert, was not afraid of difficulties, and broke the Mongols in the fishing sea.
Since Lanyu, there are few generals in the land of China who can compare with him.
This is a star that has only come out in hundreds of years!
Such a character, leaving only a human skin, is really embarrassing.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, what are you going to do?"
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, wanted to say something, but he still glanced at Zhu Lu, the king of Zhou, "Fifth brother, let's talk about it." "After all, he and Xu Jingchang are not familiar with each other, and they are not so bold.
Zhu Hu said: "Dingguo Gong, do you think you can bury Liang Guogong according to the etiquette of Guogong?" β
Xu Jingchang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's not proper, after all, this case was decreed by Emperor Taizu, and the imperial edict was promulgated all over the world." This is not the time yet. I wondered, can I find a nearby feng shui treasure place to bury the martyrs? β
Zhu Hu said without hesitation: "Dingguo Gong has the final say, we will listen to you." β
Xu Jingchang said: "I have been in Beiping for some days, and I found that the loess mountain in Changping has excellent feng shui, and I am going to build a cemetery in the loess mountain...... The main burial is the righteous who died in their country. Liangguo Gong Lanyu followed Emperor Taizu, made many military exploits, and made many northern expeditions, raised my Huaxia Tianwei, and buried him here, which can also deter Xiaoxiao and sit back and relax. β
When Zhu Chun heard this, he also felt good, "Dingguo Gong, can I go and take a look?" β
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Of course, please rest assured that King Shu, this place will definitely satisfy you." β
Can you not be satisfied?
The name of Loess Mountain is inconspicuous, but in the future, there is a name, called Tianshou Mountain, which is the location of the Ming Tombs, Xu Jingchang took out Zhu Di's tomb and used it to bury the soldiers, so it can be bad!
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Xu Jingchang did not agree with Zhu Di's relocation of the capital to Beiping.
From the perspective of the existing economic conditions, moving the capital to Beiping is too burdensome, and it is not a blessing for the world to almost take the entire Ming Dynasty to support.
If he really develops Beiping according to Xu Jingchang's plan, he still doesn't want Zhu Di to come to Beiping to join in the fun.
After all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the rules are too big, and it is not conducive to economic development.
According to the ideal situation, it is best for Zhu Di to choose a capital city in the Central Plains...... For example, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Shangqiu...... Of course, these places may not be suitable because of the flooding of the Yellow River.
Anyway, there is no urgency in this matter, and if the financial resources really allow, avoid the major big cities and build a medium-sized capital city specially built, it can also be considered.
But in any case, Xu Jingchang occupied the cemetery of the old Zhu family first.
The feng shui of the Loess Mountain, that is needless to say.
Zhu Chun went on a trip, and when he came back, he was full of praise and gave Xu Jingchang two thumbs up.
"Fifth brother, just rush to this position, Dingguo Gong is really a caring person! No wonder you always say that he is good, and it is really unusual. β
Zhu Hu smiled, "Eleventh brother, my book "Materia Medica" was published with the help of Dingguo Gong, he is a smart and wise person, and has the most ideas, if you want to ask him for help, just say it." β
Zhu Chun hesitated, "Fifth brother, can Dingguo Gong really respond to requests?" β
Zhu Hu nodded, "You still don't believe what the fifth brother said, let's go see him." β
The two brothers chatted non-stop along the way...... Among Lao Zhu's many sons, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, was known for his loyalty, filial piety and studiousness, and a large number of Confucian scholars gathered around him, who lectured and debated the scriptures together all day long, so unhappy.
"Fifth brother, don't look at Bashu, which is known as the country of abundance, in fact, it is such a piece, to the west and south, there are Tusi, Han and Yi live together, and the language and customs are different...... At the beginning, when the emperor sealed his younger brother to Shu, I thought about spending my strength to give lectures, divide in harmony, teach the people, strengthen righteousness, and make people's hearts attach. β
Zhu Hu said with a smile: "The eleventh brother has good intentions, the Yuan Court has occupied the Central Plains for a hundred years, not only in the land of Bashu, but also in Yunnan and Beiping, including my Kaifeng and the Central Plains, there are many Mongolians and Semu people living together. Carry out education, so that it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, the world is one heart, and all surnames are one family, this is the great merit and great creation. β
Zhu Chun's face flushed slightly, "The little brother just wants to be as thin as possible, but I can't help spending this money!" β
Zhu Chun complained to Zhu Hu, when he was in Bashu, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the household department to send him 300,000 ingots of treasure banknotes...... Let him use it as a reward to those around him.
"Fifth brother, I spent all this money in less than a year, and then I used my money to maintain it, and seventy or eighty percent of the output of the grange was also used to entertain scholars. The younger brother is really envious, the fifth brother's works can be published all over the world for the benefit of the common people, and the younger brother also wants to achieve something, so as to live up to the hope of the imperial examination. β
Zhu Hu also agreed after listening to it, as a vassal king, it is naturally right to do something serious and set an example for the world.
But listening to Zhu Chun's meaning, this expense is not small, and he doesn't know if Xu Jingchang can have an idea...... Give it a try!
The two of them found Xu Jingchang, who was busy, and as soon as Zhu Hu said something, Xu Jingchang's eyes immediately lit up and he was overjoyed.
"King Zhou, you don't know, some time ago I also talked to King Han about Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's strategy for governing Shu! I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Shu to come. β
Zhu Chun seemed to be in a very good mood, and immediately said: "When I was in Bashu, there were also many scholars who got together to talk about the past and the present. Speaking of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, all of them are thrown to the ground. The prime minister is light and thin, resting with the people, strict laws and regulations, no favoritism, and it is really an example of virtuous ministers throughout the ages, Xiao Wang also often goes to the Wuhou Temple, worships the prime minister, and prays for Zhuge Prime Minister to protect the land of Bashu, the wind and rain are smooth, and I am a Ming country and the people. β
Listening to His Royal Highness the King of Shu talking, Xu Jingchang couldn't help frowning.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, take the liberty of asking, Zhuge Cheng has been fighting for many years, how can it be regarded as a light and meager endowment, resting with the people?"
Zhu Chun was stunned, what do you mean, doesn't Prime Minister Zhuge cherish the people? Or maybe this Dingguo Gong doesn't look down on Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng? He froze and didn't know how to answer.
Zhu Hu frowned slightly, "Dingguo Gong, Prime Minister Zhuge is strict in governing Shu, and the people are all convinced, although they have been fighting for many years, it is also to revive the Han Dynasty, and there is no fault." β
Xu Jingchang smiled: "How can I say that the prime minister is wrong? I want to say that the prime minister's method of governing Shu is not at all a clichΓ© of lightness...... His Royal Highness the King of Shu, take the liberty of asking, what kind of readers do you like to talk about together? β
Zhu Chun's face was slightly red, and he hesitated for a long time before muttering, "That...... When Xiao Wang had just taken up the domain, he invited Fang Xiaoru ......"
It turned out to be this dude, and it's a bit hard to say!
However, Zhu Chun's ability to survive the Jingjing disaster safely is also related to Fang Xiaoru.
Although Lao Fang has become one of the four great traitors, he was executed by Zhu Di. But his disciples, relatives and friends are still there...... After all, Zhu Di did not destroy the ten clans of the Fang family.
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, got together with this group of people, and it was not strange that he could have such insight.
"Shu can rely on the land of Yizhou, rival the Central Plains, and has repeatedly gone out to the army, with good results. It doesn't rely on this set of ordinary means, after all, marching and fighting are to eat, and you can't rely on God to drop food. I discussed with the King of Han that Prime Minister Zhuge was to take Shu brocade as the core to develop trade and earn military funds...... He conquered the barbarians in the south and brought the Shu brocade technique, which has been passed down to this day, and has been blessed for thousands of years, which is the key to the prime minister's rule of Shu. β
Zhu Chun was dumbfounded, isn't this right?
He gathered so many talented men, and no one ever said such a thing?
Can it be of such great use to just Shu brocade?
Zhu Chun didn't believe in a hundred...... Coincidentally, Huang Guan wanted to come over to discuss the matter of the sacrifice with Xu Jingchang, and Zhu Gaoxu also came to urge labor, and the big guys got together.
Zhu Chun also knew Huang Guan, and immediately asked for advice on the knowledge of the six Kuiyuan.
After listening to this, Huang Guan couldn't help but sigh, "Over the years, when it comes to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, it is not about his teacher's list, or that he has failed to complete the Northern Expedition, and he is loyal. As for how he governed Shu, not many people really could say clearly. What Dingguo Gong said is that it is not wrong to pacify Nanzhong, promote Shu Jin, and use Jin to fund the army, but not many people pay attention to it. β
Zhu Chun was immediately shocked, "Huang Shangshu, is it really Xiao Wang's mistake?" β
Huang Guan was stunned and said helplessly: "It's also that some people teach wrong." β
This can make Zhu Chun jade.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "In fact, what is the neglected Prime Minister Zhuge ? How many people can talk about Guan Zhong's law of governing the country? Also, it is true that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, but at that time, it was a Confucian minister who gathered money for the Han Dynasty and purchased soldiers and horses? β
Zhu Chun was dumbfounded, and said for a while: "Wei Huo is all fortunate ministers, Sang Hongyang gathers and exploits, Zhang Tang, Master Father Yan and others are all cool officials. β
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, concluded: "Anyway, Confucian scholars and doctors don't look down on it, right? β
Zhu Chun nodded helplessly.
Zhu Gaoxu snorted even more angrily: "But these people are the ones who assisted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, attacked the Huns, and sealed the wolf Juxu." On the contrary, it is a virtuous and famous person, and everyone is in the dynasty, either the year's coin, or the land, and the face is gone. β
Zhu Chun was completely speechless, he likes to read, he is known as Shu Xiucai, others praise him, but today someone told him that the books you read are wrong, it is true that the three views collapsed.
Zhu Hu persuaded and said: "Eleventh brother, in fact, you don't have to care too much, the book I compiled is not on the right path." β
Zhu Chun was even more speechless.
At this time, Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Whether it is the right way or not, it is not for them to have the final say." Anyway, now is the right time for government reform...... His Royal Highness the King of Zhou and His Royal Highness the King of Shu, let's work together to establish a new school, teach new knowledge, and let those orthodox scholars get out, what do you think? β
Zhu Hu immediately said: "I am willing to donate all the manuscript fees!" β
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, muttered a wry smile, "Since it's wrong, why should I spend money to feed those wastes!" β
The situation is better, but I still have to go about a dozen times...... The big guy gives the little one a little time to recover slowly
