After leaving Panyu and Guangzhou, Ran Min's patrol team continued to go north and embarked on the return journey back to Daliang.

When passing through Lingling, Ran Min went to pay tribute to the ancient sage Dashun with the feeling of remembering his ancestors.

It is said that after Shun Zaiyao's death, he reigned for 39 years, when he went to the south to patrol, he died in the wilderness of Cangwu and was buried in Jiuyi Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, called "Lingling".

Shun, like Yao, was the same ancient holy king respected by the Confucian and Mo families in the pre-Qin period.

During the reign of Shun, he cultivated the law, established official positions, formulated rituals, sympathized with the people's feelings, educated the people, friendly to all tribes, controlled floods, developed agriculture, and expanded the territory. Under his wise rule, the politics were clear, the selection of talents and the use of energy, the four seas were salty, the treasury was full, the people were thriving, the Chinese Alliance developed rapidly, and the population continued to expand.

Shun has a special influence on Confucianism. The Confucian doctrine attaches great importance to filial piety, and Shun is known for touching the heavens with filial piety, so Shun happens to be a symbolic model of Confucian ethics.

Mencius made great contributions to the development of Confucianism after Confucius, and he strongly advocated Shun's filial piety, and advocated that people strive to be like Shun and be filial sons like Shun.

Of course, Ran Min actually doesn't respect Shun's filial piety.

Legend has it that when Shun was twenty years old, he became famous, and he was famous for his filial piety. Because he can adhere to filial piety to his parents who abused and persecuted him, he was praised in his youth.

Shun's family background is very modest, although he is a descendant of Emperor Zhuanxiang, but the fifth generation is a concubine and is in the lower echelons of society.

Shun's experience was even more unfortunate, his father was blind, and his mother died very early. He remarried, and his stepmother's biological brother was named Xiang.

Shun lives in a family environment of "stubborn father, arrogant mother, and arrogant", his father is not right-hearted, his stepmother is two-faced, his younger brother is arrogant and untamed, and several people collude to kill Shun and then quickly; However, Shun is very filial to his parents, very filial piety, and very friendly with his younger brother.

When Shun's family members wanted to harm him, he escaped in time; If you get better a little, you will immediately return to them and help them as much as you can, so you will "want to kill, but you can't get it; That is, to seek, to taste (often) on the side"!

With such an unfortunate background and such a harsh environment, Shun was able to show extraordinary character and handle family relationships well, which is a unique aspect of his legendary story.

Later, Yao married his two daughters to Shun to examine his character and abilities.

Shun not only made the second daughter live in harmony with the whole family, but also showed outstanding talent and noble personality strength in all aspects. Fishing Lei Ze, Lei Ze and everyone give way", as long as it is the place where he works, the fashion of courtesy will arise.

"Pottery riverside, riverside ware is not bitter", the production of pottery, can also drive the people around to engage seriously, keep improving, and put an end to the phenomenon of shoddy production.

Wherever he went, people were willing to follow, so "one year to live in Chengju (Ju is the village), two years to become a city, three years to Chengdu (four counties for the capital)". Yao was glad to learn of this, and gave him Shun a silk cloth (fine kudzu cloth cloth) and a harp, cattle and sheep, and built a barn for him.

Shun received these rewards, and the eyes of the blind and the elephant were very hot, and they wanted to kill Shun and seize the property.

He asked Shun to repair the roof of the barn, but set fire to the barn below. Shun relied on two hats as wings, jumped from the house, and survived.

Later, he asked Shun to dig a well, and the well was dug very deep, but he and the elephant filled it with earth, and wanted to block the well and bury Shun alive in it. Fortunately, Shun was alert in advance, dug a passage next to the wellbore, passed through the passage, and hid for a while.

He and Xiang thought that the conspiracy had succeeded, and Xiang said that he had come up with the idea, and that he wanted a piano when he divided things, and asked Yao's two daughters to be his wife, and to give the cattle, sheep and barns to his parents!

Xiang lived in Shun's house, played Shun's piano, Shun went to see him, Xiang was surprised, the boss was unhappy, but his mouth said: "I think Shun is depressed!" "Shun doesn't take it to heart, as always, filial piety to parents and friends to brothers; And more sincerely and cautiously than before.

This is clearly "foolishness"!

In Ran Min's opinion, if he was Da Shun, such parents would have already denied it, and such a younger brother would have to kill him alive.

But it is precisely because of Da Shun's filial piety that he is more worthy of Ran Min's admiration.

Because this era is like this, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die!

If Ran Min wants to restore the original etiquette and change the original etiquette and customs in the world, he must set an example and respect the ancient sages!

However, what made Ran Min more admired Da Shun, the ancient holy king, was what he did and his great contribution to Huaxia.

During the reign of Shun, he widely implemented benevolent government, promulgated unified laws, selected talents to jointly govern the world, pacified floods, taught the people etiquette, united princes and tribes, and united the Chinese nation.

After returning to Daliang, Ran Min then convened a great court meeting and brought all the ministers above the seventh rank in the capital to discuss state affairs.

"Zhuqing, my southern tour lasted a year, and I benefited a lot. I see the current shortcomings of the empire, and there are many shortcomings, which must be corrected in time. ”

Ran Min said lightly: "Where is Shang Shulang Su of the Ministry of War?" ”

"The minister is here!" Lang Su immediately stood up.

Ran Min said in a deep voice: "Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, since I became the emperor, I have always sent troops to exterminate the domestic water bandits and bandits, broken thousands of cottages, broken hundreds of water villages, killed tens of thousands of thieves, and gained hundreds of thousands of people. Population is a great resource for a country. On my southern tour, I was besieged by rebels and Taihu water thieves in Wu County, if I hadn't noticed it in advance and made thorough preparations, I might have died in Jiangdong! ”

The ministers couldn't help but secretly sweat.

The dignified Emperor of Wei was attacked on his own territory and almost died.

It's easy to say that this is an ordinary assassination, after all, there are countless careerists and fanatics in the world, but this is the rebellion of tens of thousands of people, and tens of thousands of people besiege the emperor, which really makes the ministers feel afraid!

If Ran Min really died in Jiangdong and Wu County, not to mention that the Great Wei would have perished like this, but the original thriving momentum of the empire would definitely be stagnant, and the world would fall into chaos again.

It is difficult to say whether Ran Ming, who succeeded to the throne, can clean up this mess.

"God bless my emperor!"

Shang Shu Ling Cui Hao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the thieves in Jiangdong are so rampant, the minister thinks that this is not unrelated to the history of Yangzhou and the local orders of Wu County, and they are duty-bound. Regarding the attack on His Majesty in Wu County, if it weren't for the inaction of the local guards in Jiangdong, how could there be such a disaster? The minister believes that His Majesty should severely punish the officials up and down Yangzhou, and urges them to exterminate the local thieves as soon as possible and return the people to a pure land! ”

Hearing this, Ran Min nodded and said: "Yangzhou's local orders, in fact, this is not to blame for their inaction, but they have no way to act, and the court has no way to act before." The water bandits in Jiangdong are more harmful than the tigers, and it is necessary to eliminate the water bandits in the south as soon as possible, as well as to clear the remnants of the Jin army who are still hiding in the mountains. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Qunchen Mountain shouted.

"Lang Su, I order you to draft a document immediately and implement it throughout the country as soon as possible. The imperial court will dispatch 200,000 Janissary troops, plus 30,000 sailors, to cooperate with the local county soldiers, starting from Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Ningzhou, Guangzhou, Yizhou, every county, every county, every place bandits must be eliminated as soon as possible! ”

"In addition, a plausion order can be issued before the thieves are exterminated. As long as the thieves are caught, the court can not blame the past, and when they go down the mountain, they can be good citizens, and they can get the land and houses that ordinary people deserve, and they are indispensable for grain seeds, farm tools, and ploughing cattle. ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent!"

Ran Min said: "In addition, I found that the local scholars in Jiangdong, and even in Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiangzhou, Jiaozhou and other places, are still powerful, they have been entrenched in one place for hundreds of years, even thousands of years, and the roots are deep, and I deeply feel harmful. Order the scholars from all over the country to relocate to Daliang as soon as possible, and the orders must be urged! Decree, if there is a disobedient person, raid the house! Extermination! ”

It seems that Ran Min is angry.

However, regarding the migration of the southern scholars to Daliang, the ministers began to divide into pros and cons again, chattering and arguing.

Regarding this matter, Cheng Wei Huan was the first to jump out to object: "Your Majesty, you must not!" ”

"Why not?" Ran Min asked with an unhappy expression.
