Chapter 222: Boost Morale? Isn't that easy?

Xi shan.

Su Yang is taking his little daughter-in-law down the mountain.

I haven't traveled with Xiaowan for a long time, and Su Yang is ready to take her down the mountain to go on a trip.

However, as soon as the husband and wife walked to the foot of the mountain, they bumped into Zhu Di's father and son.

Zhu Di was slightly embarrassed when he saw this, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Fortunately, Xiao Wan adjusted the atmosphere from it, so it was not so embarrassing.

In the end, it became a family of five, and they came out to go out in a good way.

"Tell me, what's the trouble this time again?"

Su Yang said expressionlessly.

The first time he saw Zhu Di, he knew that this cheap father-in-law had come to do business for him again.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought my eldest brother and second brother, and the two cheap brothers-in-law are not good things!

Zhu Di smiled and explained the ins and outs in a low voice.

"There was a military meeting yesterday, and His Royal Highness King Yan originally wanted to study the dispatch of troops to Daning, but he didn't expect that all the generals were frightened by the 500,000 troops in the imperial court!"

"However, His Royal Highness King Yan has realized the seriousness of the problem, if the news is announced, I am afraid that the heart of the Yan army will collapse in an instant!"

"After all, the generals in the army are still cowardly before they fight, not to mention those low-level soldiers, and they may even cause a mutiny to bomb the battalion!"

Hearing this, Su Yang suddenly fell silent.

Zhu Di's worries are not impossible.

After all, most of the Yan army is now a surrendered soldier!

Once they heard that 500,000 troops were coming, it was hard to avoid having thoughts that they shouldn't have!

After all, in the face of the threat of death, no one will be a hard bone, willing to follow Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to die, not to mention that they themselves are still surrendering to the army, and they used to be soldiers and horses of the imperial court!

Based on this hidden danger, it is not impossible that the morale of the army will be demoralized!

Even if someone obstructs and instigates it, a mutiny and bombing of the camp may occur!

Thinking like this, Su Yang was a little puzzled.

"So my father-in-law came here this time to let me find a way to solve the morale problem?"

Zhu Di nodded again and again, looking at Su Yang with a look of hope.

Su Yang was immediately happy, and asked rhetorically, "What about Master Daoyan and Jin Zhong Changshi?" With the wisdom of the two of them, this question shouldn't be difficult, right? ”

Hearing the word "not difficult", Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ahem, Jin Zhong Changshi has gone to Daning, he has more important things."

"As for Monk Daoyan...... This monk doesn't know what he's crazy about lately, and he's studying the book of war with all his heart! ”

Zhu Di explained a little embarrassedly, and couldn't help but scold Monk Daoyan in his heart.

Since Su Yang came, this monk has become more and more eccentric, and he has not done his job properly, so that he Zhu Di has to come to Su Yang for help.

After all, Su Yang is his son-in-law!

He didn't know his identity yet, so Zhu Di was embarrassed to come over for help with a shy face.

If Su Yang knew his identity in the future, how embarrassing it would be!

Su Yang was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little confused.

Daoyan monk studies the book of war?

Why do you really want to read a lot of books and learn from hundreds of schools?

Su Yang smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Actually, the solution is very simple."

"Father-in-law, you should remember what those rebels did in history, right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di was not happy.

What kind of truth is this kid talking about?

This king is not a thief, this king is "Fengtian Jingjing"!

But what did those rebels do in history?

What else can you do?

Gather a crowd to make a rebellion, kill officials and rebel!

But what does all this have to do with this king?

Su Yang couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zhu Di's blank face.

"Uncle, you are very knowledgeable, do you remember that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty?"

When Zhu Gaochi heard the call, he immediately rushed over.

I don't understand what art of war and tactics you discuss, but I am strong in discussing knowledge and history!

"Of course, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are two people who were conscripted to serve hard labor, and they were delayed because it rained on the way, but Qin Law is extremely strict, this is a big crime to kill the head, the two of them are in a dilemma, and they simply decided to rebel with their hearts......"

There is no doubt about the knowledge of the big fat man, and he immediately told the story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellion.

Su Yang was a little impatient when he heard this, and interrupted him directly.

"You don't need to talk about the rest of the nonsense, you only need to tell two stories."

"A 'fish's belly book', a 'bonfire fox chirping'."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and didn't ask too much.

"To say that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are also smart, in order to make everyone believe in them more, they found a piece of white silk, wrote the three big characters of 'Chen Shengwang' on it with cinnabar, and stuffed it into the belly of the fish sold on the market, the soldiers bought the fish back, cut open the belly of the fish, and found the words on this piece of silk, very surprised, this is the 'fish belly book'!"

"Then in the middle of the night, Wu Guang secretly ran to the broken temple near the barracks, lit a bonfire, first pretended to be a fox, and then shouted: "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng", the soldiers of the whole battalion heard it, and they were even more shocked and frightened, and they all thought that Chen Sheng should be the king, so they were shocked and frightened, and Chen Sheng established his prestige in this way......

After listening to Zhu Gaochi's explanation, although Zhu Di still felt at a loss, he faintly felt that he had caught something.

"Su Yang, what do you mean ......?"

"With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly. With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. ”

Su Yang said lightly: "Although these are all small tricks that can't be put on the table, you have to admit that they are really easy to use!"

"What Zhu Di, the king of Yan, has to do now is to justify his actions, although he has the Jingnan legacy left by Emperor Taizu Gao, but what the specific truth is, everyone knows it, and it is far from enough to subdue the soldiers of the world on this basis!"

"The posthumous training of Jingnan is indeed true, but the great grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang also left a Taizu law, adding a restriction to this Jingnan testament!"

The soldiers and the people don't know, but the high-level scholars do, so Zhu Di's reason for "Fengtian Jingjing" is untenable at all! ”

"Unless...... At this time, auspicious clouds descended from the sky in Beiping, and it was completely confirmed that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was the son of destiny! ”

Su Yang sighed.

The people of this age are all ignorant.

Or not only the people, but most people in this era are ignorant.

That's why the word "auspicious" appeared, and even became one of the achievements of local officials!

For example, there are white rabbits and white deer in a certain place, and colorful clouds appear in a certain place, and then there are "sweet springs from the ground", "the sun and the moon are combined" and so on.

To put it bluntly, auspicious culture, developed so far, has been considered a symbol of God appointing someone as the Son of Heaven!

And the people in power also like the Confucian theory of "heaven and man induction" and "divine authority of kings", which is in line with their idea of "divine authority of kings" and is conducive to maintaining their rule, so why not do it?

In fact, what "heaven and man induction" and "divine authority of the monarch" are just means for the emperors of the past dynasties to fool the people in order to stabilize their rule.

After hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly opened his mouth and glanced at Su Yang with some surprise.

He knew what to do next.

It's just that Zhu Di was a little frightened.

If Su Yang is really an immortal, is the "divine right of the monarch" also true?
