With the introduction of a whip law, Fang's reputation became polarized.

In the eyes of scholars and officials, he was the greatest traitor in history, a man full of evil, and bad to the bones.

But in the eyes of the people, he is the only Qingtian master.

The people even took the initiative to build a shrine for Fang Keqin.

The so-called ancestral hall refers to the ancestral hall built for the living.

Those who do not have great merit cannot bear it.

If ordinary people are built in a living shrine, they will have to lose their lives.

But Fang Keqin has done so many practical things, but he can bear it.

Although Fang Keqin was a whip method to follow the orders of the Son of Heaven, he was able to do things to this extent, and the credit was unique.

Fang Keqin felt the power of those endless merits, which brought his strength and realm to an unprecedented level.

And this also made Fang Keqin firm in his own path.

For a Confucian scholar like him, the greatest pursuit is to leave a name in history and be famous through the ages.

And now, the opportunity is right now.

How can you give up easily?

Fang Keqin has long regarded his life as something outside his body.

……

Ying Tianfu.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Su Che looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but smile slightly: "The people spontaneously built a shrine for Fang Keqin? ”

"Since ancient times, the people have taken the initiative to build shrines for them, and all of them are capable officials."

"This party has made meritorious contributions to his crimes, but he has done a lot of practical things."

"Hmm......"

Su Che looked at the content of the report, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but light up his eyes.

"Building an ancestral hall and holding a worship ......"

"I can also build the ancestral hall of my Ming heroes, and even build a martyr's wall, so that everyone can remember their contributions!"

Since ancient times, the major affairs of the country have been in worship and worship.

War and sacrifice are two very important things.

war, which determines the life and death of a country.

And the sacrifice is also very important.

It's a matter of ideology.

People in this world not only pay attention to material things, but also the level of consciousness is also very important.

Choosing the right sacrificial target can unite the nation to a great extent.

What are the sacrifices now?

A Confucian sage.

Ancient sages.

The gods of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers.

Sacrificing these will also have an effect, but the effect is not so direct, because there are too many people who sacrifice them, and the previous dynasty also sacrifices, and the current dynasty also sacrifices, and the effect is not so good.

In that case, why not change the target of the sacrifice?

The Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and recovered China, how could it not be sacrificed for such a great achievement?

Su Che's ability to act is very strong, and what he decides, he has to do it immediately.

On this day, Su Che announced a new decree, and he decided to sacrifice the martyrs of this dynasty and those who made great contributions to the founding of the country.

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly boiled.

All the ministers were blown up.

These days, every three or five decrees, make these ministers feel haggard and tossed enough, it's not been a few days since the birthday, come again??

Moreover, what Your Majesty is going to sacrifice is actually those noble warriors of this dynasty?

Why?

Just these people are worthy of being compared with the sages and sages, and they can enjoy the power of the sacrifice together?

Where did the face come from!

Immediately, many ministers came forward to dissuade them, and even if the dissuasion would be punished, they still did not hesitate.

"Your Majesty, the ancient sages, the gods of the mountains and rivers, are all sacrificed by future generations...... Now that those nobles are still alive, how can we sacrifice to them? ”

"Your Majesty, the sacrifice is a major national event, and it must not be decided so easily, please think twice before acting."

"Your Majesty, how can you sacrifice yourself? Where does this come from? ”

"Your Majesty, the honors are already arrogant, if you sacrifice them again, there may be a big problem, I hope Your Majesty will think about this matter."

Listening to the continuous dissuasion of many courtiers, Su Che frowned a little impatiently, he stared at these Wenchen, and said a little strangely: "I want to sacrifice not only those generals and soldiers, Wenchen will also be sacrificed, why are you opposing it so quickly?" ”

As soon as these words came out, many ministers immediately looked at each other - huh? They're got a part of it, huh?

It's a little embarrassing now.

They advised too quickly, at this time, it was inevitable that there would be some bitter fruits, and they were all a little helpless, how could Your Majesty still pant for breath when he spoke, and he didn't finish speaking in one breath, so they had to desperately come back!

There are not a few ministers who can get into this position, and there are not a few people with thick skin, and at this moment, many people coughed, changed their words directly, and said again:

"Your Majesty, we are reckless, after thinking about this matter carefully, it is not impossible, expelling the Tartars and recovering China, such feats are certainly worth sacrificing!"

"Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the mountains and rivers have been broken, no one has been able to unify the mountains and rivers for so many years, the south of the Ming Dynasty has been driven to the north, there has never been a feat for thousands of years, such a feat can indeed be sacrificed."

There are also some thin-skinned people, and their faces are red when they listen to these two-sided words of their colleagues at the moment.

Before, I refused because I didn't have any benefit, but when it was my turn, it was different.

However, there is still a problem here.

That is the question of dynastic legitimacy.

Since these people are sacrificed......

It was because of the expulsion of the Tartars.

What kind of regime did the Ming inherit from?

This issue has been discussed for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was very resolute at the beginning.

His regime was a Han Chinese regime through and through.

It has nothing to do with the Yuan Dynasty for a dime.

After all, his family all died under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

His parents, his four brothers, his two sisters, his three nephews, his uncle, his four sons and seven grandchildren, all died, and he and one nephew were the only ones who died.

Under such circumstances, would Zhu Yuanzhang approve of the rule of the Yuan Dynasty?

This is simply not possible.

But.

Historical records.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: I was clothed on the right side of Huai, and the rioters suddenly came and strayed into it. Since the Red Turban Demon Kou advocated the rebellion, many counties in the north and south have fallen, so the Ming Dynasty has taken it.

This set of statements has also become a rhetoric for many people to attack Lao Zhu, saying that he said that the people who rebelled with him were demons and rebels.

But in reality, this is just a rhetoric for the legitimacy of the regime.

In order to make the country's political power reasonable, Zhu Yuanzhang prepared several sets of rhetoric, and this is just one of them.

There are both pro-yuan and anti-elemental, which can be flexibly used on different occasions.

The so-called "Dayuan Shunmin" set is actually not used very often.

This set of statements is more used for those old people of the Yuan Dynasty who recovered, as well as those Mongols.

Under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the rebels were not all Han Chinese, but many Mongols.

In order to quickly recover these people and subdue these areas, this set of statements is indispensable.

Besides.

The question of the succession of the country's ruling power is also a problem.

What dynasty did the Ming Dynasty inherit?

Zhu Yuanzhang recognized the power of the Yuan Dynasty and inherited the power of the Yuan Dynasty, so he could not excessively publicize the expulsion of the Tartars.

Now that some ministers have raised it again, this is the problem.

Where did the orthodoxy of the Ming regime come from?

Faced with this question, Su Che just smiled slightly and said lightly: "Didn't I already give you an answer?" ”

"Huh?" The courtier who asked this question was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't react a little: "Did Your Majesty give an answer?" ”

"yes." Su Che said lightly: "I canonized the Kong clan of the Southern Sect as the Duke of Wen Xuan, didn't I already tell you the answer?" ”

As soon as these words came out, many ministers looked at each other.

They really didn't expect His Majesty to give such an answer!

Nankong's canonization is the Duke of Wen Xuan, and this title comes from the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, that is, His Majesty believes that the power of the Ming Dynasty comes from the Tang Dynasty?

But the problem is, these eight poles can't be beaten......

The span of time is simply too large.

If it's so big, aren't you afraid of getting an egg?

Su Che glanced at these courtiers, his meaning was very straightforward, these aspects of things are for you to consider, not for us, if everything has to be considered by the emperor, then why do you have so many ministers to do?

Su Che thought for a moment and continued: "Or inherit the Han regime!" Then inherit the Great Han! ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were numb!

Is it so casual??!

Big Han??

Forget about the Tang Dynasty, the big men are here?

How far back did that go?

How many years has the Han been dead!

How is it possible to find anything retroactive!

It's a chore.

Many ministers once suspected that it might be because His Majesty saw that they disliked the Tang Dynasty and found the connection between the two, so they gave a more difficult choice and let them choose the lesser of the two.

In fact, this is the cautious eyes of these ministers, Su Che really didn't have this idea, he smiled, and said slowly: "Why did I say that the Ming Dynasty inherited the power of the Han Dynasty, it can be understood in this way. ”

"Since ancient times, those who have won the country are only Han and Ming!"

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers in the court widened their eyes, and they all looked confused, what is the explanation of this?

Even Zhu Biao, who had not spoken next to Su Che, was stunned for a moment.

Those who win the country are the only ones who are Han and Ming!

This is so domineering!

directly skipped all the other dynasties, thinking that they were not righteous and unworthy of being compared with the Ming Dynasty.

Even Datang, who was just going to be traced, was discriminated against by the way.

All the courtiers listened carefully to Su Che's speech.

I only heard Su Che say slowly: "What is the righteousness of winning the country? The puppet got into trouble, without relying on the suspicion of prestige, eliminating violence for the people, and without the intention of foreseeing the artifact, therefore, since the first emperor, the only one who has won the country is Han and Ming. ”

Several criteria for the right or wrong of the country.

First, the puppet got into trouble, without relying on the suspicion of prestige:

This means that the founding emperor must be born in cloth, and the achievement of hegemony depends on personal strength, and has nothing to do with family background and ancestral shadow.

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was only the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County before his career, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was born at the bottom of the society, worked as a monk, and had to eat, both of which were veritable "puppet uprisings".

On the other hand, in the Qin, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, the founding emperors were either born in the nobility or from a family, or were already in important positions before seizing power.

Second, to eliminate violence for the people, there is no intention of foreseeing the artifact:

What this means is that the replaced regime must be a tyranny that has long since lost the hearts of the people, and that the original intention of the uprising is to overthrow corruption and eliminate violence and pacify the people, not to realize personal ambitions.

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, overthrew the unpopular tyrannical rule of Qin, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, overthrew the rule of the Meng Yuan invaded by foreign people.

Other dynasties were not, either with impure ends or improper means, and their legitimacy could not be compared with those of the Han and Ming dynasties.

In short, the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty met all the conditions for "winning the country most rightly", while the Qin, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties each had their own "incorrectness".

When Su Che slowly explained his reasons, the breathing of many ministers in the court became heavy!

It's a whole new way of saying it.

A more ambitious statement.

Previously.

In order to find the legitimacy of the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang can be described as painstaking.

Because the Yuan Dynasty is not recognized.

Then you have to recognize the Song Dynasty.

But the Song Dynasty was used by Liu Futong's gang.

Whether Liu Futong or Han Lin'er wants to die, they are all dead.

It's not going to be easy.

After thinking about it, he could only pinch his nose and admit the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty.

But in this way, the question arises, since the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty is recognized, isn't Zhu Yuanzhang's gang anti-thieves?

So Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and finally came up with a "theory of prosperity and blessing" to solve the problem of the legitimacy of his dynasty.

The so-called temple prosperity is blessed.

It is also called "the first initiative must be punished, and the temple is blessed".

Zhu Yuanzhang divided the rebel army since ancient times into Shou Chao and Dianxing.

The first rebellion is the first to cause trouble, and these people will be punished by God, for example, Chen Sheng is the first to oppose Qin, and Liu Futong is the anti-head of state.

And Liu Bang and himself are Dianxing, and they belong to joining halfway to save the people from fire and water.

- This is "the first chaos is returned, and the blessing is in the palace".

In the vernacular, no matter how turbulent a dynasty is, as long as this shelf does not fall for a day, it cannot say that the world is uncertain.

Whoever dares to rebel at this time, no matter what the reason, will cause the world to fall into chaos, and must be condemned, and God will also punish him.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of the Qin Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, An Shi of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow Nest of the Late Tang Dynasty, and the Red Turban Army of the Yuan Dynasty, these first rebellions did not end well, and the Han and Tang dynasties of Dianxing were generally long, which has a historical basis!

In short, whether you live or not, the "first chaos" is bad!

The first to rebel will only be the king's precursor!

The flaws in the theory of the blessing of the temple are really not easy to find.

This is arguably quite a genius idea.

However, this set of arguments is useless at all.

If the Dianxing Blessing Theory is really useful, the Ming Dynasty will not have so many rebellions, and it will not be destroyed.

This set of arguments will even cheapen the later Qing Dynasty.

Instead of using the so-called "temple prosperity and blessing theory", it is better to use "those who have won the country, only Han and Ming"!

This new set of statements is even more favorable and straightforward than inheriting the legal system of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that it has opened up a new legal inheritance!

At the same time, this also raised the legitimacy of Da Ming to an unprecedented level!
