Chapter 22: The Way of His Majesty

Zhang Wuji left Yu Daiyan's bedroom and came to the Zhenwu Palace.

Zhang Sanfeng, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng and others are here. Zhang Sanfeng was a guest to accompany him, and when he saw that Zhang Wuji was back, he got up and said: "Since Wuji is back, then you can talk to him about teaching affairs, and Poor Dao will not bother." ”

Yin Tianzheng and the others all got up, and then prepared to send Zhang Zhenren off.

Zhang Sanfeng said to Zhang Wuji: "Wuji, come and sit in the master's room in a while, the master has something to ask you." ”

Zhang Wuji arched his hand and said, "The child will come in a while." Then Zhang Sanfeng smiled and nodded, and walked back to the room.

Then Zhang Wuji sat on the futon in the center of the main hall, and Yang Xiao and the others also sat cross-legged around him.

Zhang Wuji said: "Okay, now here are all our Mingjiao people." Yang Zuo, grandfather, what are your official business? ”

Then Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng each reported to Zhang Wuji about the academic affairs under their jurisdiction.

Yin Tianzheng told Zhang Wuji about the reorganization of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, and now the various halls of the Heavenly Eagle Sect have now been reintegrated, and have become an independent new hall in the Ming Sect with the Five Banners and Four Sects, and it is under the direct command of the sect leader.

Zhang Wuji understood what his grandfather meant, and when his grandfather came to make the Heavenly Eagle Sect a pro-army of Zhang Wuji, the others in the province disobeyed him. Especially the local townspeople.

The second is that my grandfather can't let go of the central core of the power of the Ming Sect, and wants Zhang Wuji to promote more of his own family like his uncle, "relatives".

Grandpa's consideration was not unreasonable, and Zhang Wuji naturally accepted his grandfather's kindness.

And the matter reported by Yang Xiao is the matter of the gathering of righteous armies from all over the country.

Although Liu Futong, Guo Zixing, Xu Shouhui and other local townsmen who were nominally subordinate to the Five Elements Banner did not recognize Yang Xiao, the self-appointed "acting leader" of the left envoy of light. He disobeyed his orders.

But now that the new leader has succeeded to the throne, they are under the banner of Mingjiao, and they have all written to express their submission and recognize the new leader.

Later, in order to reintegrate the power of the Ming Sect, Yang Xiao planned to gather near the Butterfly Valley in Fengyang, let everyone worship the new leader, and also ask the new leader to speak.

Zhang Wuji thought about it and said: "The matter of the Great Gathering of Righteousness, Yang Zuo can take care of it with my holy oracle, and there is no need for me to go in person." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Yin Tianzheng said at this time: "Sect Master, I feel that the Sect Leader has just ascended to the throne, and it is better to meet with everyone under his command. In this way, we can also unite our forces to defeat the Yuan court. ”

Zhang Wuji chuckled and said, "I don't have to go to see them now, when they really fight to defeat the Yuan Court, I will reward them accordingly in the name of Mingzun." ”

Seeing Zhang Wuji's resolute attitude, everyone was not able to persuade him again.

Although everyone doesn't know what Zhang Wuji's plans are, everyone chooses to believe Zhang Wuji unconditionally, after all, all the decisions made by Zhang Wuji since he ascended the throne are correct.

In fact, Zhang Wuji's idea is very simple, that is, a successful leader should take his brothers to eat meat, and he does not need to mix with his brothers.

Moreover, leaders who are too close to their subordinates are easily despised by their subordinates, and thus betrayed by their subordinates.

Just like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

Although Xiang Yu shared weal and woe with the soldiers, they were all small favors, and everyone under his command could not do their best, and it was difficult to win people's hearts. And the people who often come into contact with him even forget that he is a "overlord" who can pull out mountains and carry the crown, but a "horseman" who is slightly stronger than himself and whose strategy is not as good as his own. Hence the rebellion.

But Liu Bang is the polar opposite of Xiang Yu. He knows people well and can make the best use of their talents. Follow the advice of Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and make the rewards and punishments clear. Moreover, he also promoted the myth that he was the "son of the Red Emperor", so that his subordinates felt that he was destined to be, so most people did not dare to give birth to a rebellious heart.

What Zhang Wuji wants to take is the royal road of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to envelop the upper class, and then start to mythologize himself, so that the lower class people feel unattainable and dare not despise it.

And those who have meritorious service in the lower class will be rewarded, those who have done so will be punished, and those who dare to rebel will be punished by the nine clans and kill the whole family.

This joint uprising to fight the world is not too much to worry about in Zhang Wuji's heart, because there is still a common enemy, the Mongols, and everyone can unite as one.

The most difficult thing is to sit in the world and reward meritorious deeds. When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, no matter how you weigh it, this bowl of water is always uneven.

After all, the relatives feel that they are relatives, even if he has not made any contributions, he wants a high reward, if you don't tell you that you are unkind and don't miss the old love, and finally resentful.

And if you give, then other people who really rely on merit to get the reward will naturally be unconvinced. Eventually, they resented it.

For the kind of leaders whose comprehensive ability is not as good as that of their subordinates, killing these talents is the best choice.

But there are exceptions, such as Li Shimin.

And Li Shimin doesn't need to kill, because he can suppress these arrogant soldiers.

After all, Li Erfeng, the god general of Tiance, is not inferior to his generals without any military strategy, and everyone obeys him. So whatever he gave, everyone took it, without a little complaint.

Zhang Wuji admits that he does not have Tang Taizong's Wen Taowu strategy. But he has the force of Tang Taizong, as well as the clear rewards and punishments of Han Gaozu and the black belly, which is enough.

Therefore, after Zhang Wuji weighed it, it was better for these people not to see them. Too close, too modest, easy to make these people have the illusion that the leader is nothing great, just a yellow-haired boy.

And this is precisely the fatal mistake made by the original Zhang Wuji as a leader.

After the matter was agreed, Zhang Wuji drafted a Mingzun oracle for Yang Xiao.

The content of the oracle is simple: "Expelle the Tartars, restore China, establish a program of Chen Ji, and relieve the people." ”

The core idea is that all the righteous army must abide by the rules and regulations of the army and provide relief to the people of the world. If anyone violates the rules of the religion and oppresses the people. Then you can hold the Holy Decree of the Venerable and punish it.

After agreeing with everyone, Yang Xiao and the others took Zhang Wuji's holy oracle and set off to inform the rebels to meet in Butterfly Valley.

And Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao came to Shigong's room.

Zhang Sanfeng was sitting cross-legged on the futon at this time, and there were two things on the low table in front of him.

The same is a pair of iron arhats, and the same is the Heavenly Sword that Zhang Wuji just recaptured.

Seeing Shigong's expression, Zhang Wuji asked knowingly: "Shigong, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Sanfeng retracted his nostalgic expression at this time.

Then Zhang Sanfeng looked at Zhang Wuji and said with a smile: "Wuji, come and sit." Saying that, Zhang Sanfeng invited Zhang Wuji to sit opposite him.

Zhang Sanfeng asked at this time: "Wuji, I don't know what your plans are in the future?" ”

Zhang Wuji looked at Shigong and replied, "I don't know what Shigong is talking about?" ”

Zhang Sanfeng said: "This is naturally the future of the Ming Sect. Now that you are the leader of the Ming Sect, how the Ming Sect will behave in the future is all in your thoughts. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji replied: "The apprentice grandson knows what the master is worried about, but the Ming Sect had some bad deeds before, but now that the apprentice grandson is the sect leader, he will restrain his subordinates well, so that they will no longer have more rights and wrongs in the rivers and lakes." Truly achieve the 'do good and eliminate evil' in the teachings of Mingjiao. For the rest, the disciples wanted to fulfill the will of the Yang Sect Master, first, to expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains, and second, to go to the Persian Patriarch to welcome back the Holy Fire Order. ”

Zhang Sanfeng squinted his eyes and said, "Okay! Good! Good! In this way, the master is relieved. ”

Then Zhang Sanfeng looked at the Heavenly Sword and said, "It's just that what are you going to do with this Heavenly Sword disciple?" Do you really want to return it to the girl surnamed Zhao? ”
