Chapter 630 If you can't beat it, just kneel and lick it and ask for a monthly pass
After Liang Chongru's words, he had already expressed his plans and the Kamakura Shogunate's plans. If you want to summarize it, it would be six words: "If you can't beat it, just lick it."
Although Hojo and Liang Chongru's first stop to visit China in real time was the Southern Song Dynasty, they were just here to contact and learn, and would not sign any "anti-Tiandao International Agreement" with the Southern Song Dynasty. After visiting the Southern Song Dynasty, they would go straight to Yanjing to kneel down and lick the Ming Emperor Chen Dexing... These warriors are not stupid, and they know that the key to the victory or defeat of this Japanese domestic chaos is the attitude of the Ming Empire!
If the Ming Dynasty firmly supports Heian Kyo, Kamakura cannot resist it. If the Ming Dynasty's support for Heian Kyo is limited, then Kamakura still has a chance.
Therefore, while Hojo arrived in the Song Dynasty in real time, the Kamakura shogunate was selecting a noble, beautiful and well-educated young woman from the Imperial family, ready to send her to the Tiandao Academy in Yanjing to study... Chen Dexing was waiting for the stacks of love poems!
The Kamakura Shogunate's attitude also gave Liang Chongru a lot of inspiration. These Japanese samurai who looked twitching on the surface of their usual fangs could not hesitate to fall at the feet of powerful enemies they could not defeat.
So, why can't I follow my great scholar?
It seems that among the people who are officials in the Ming Dynasty, there are not a small number of Confucian scholars? Not to mention others, Chen Huaiqing, the biological father of Emperor Chen Dexing, is a Confucian scholar who is in the same high school as him!
During this period, the Ming Dynasty established official offices in various parts of the north and recruited officials. I don’t know how many Confucian scholars from the north found jobs.
Confucian scholars from the northern region can quickly find their place in the Ming Empire, so can the Confucian scholars and officials of the Southern Dynasties follow one or two?
Now it is clear that Jiangnan is difficult to defend. The Confucian scholars and officials of the Southern Dynasties are really strong and they are willing to martyrdom on their own? Liang Chongru would not believe it. He himself is one of the Southern Confucians...
Liang Chongru said this. There is no need to be tense anymore.
After a while, Liao Yingzhong replied indifferently: "It's still early to talk about this matter, and the Song Dynasty still has half of the country. The Zhao family still has 300,000 troops."
Liang Chongru smiled: "Taishi Jia and Qunyu brothers are both loyal and kind in the Song Dynasty and have been favored by the officials. If they were surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and become the ministers of the two lords, they would probably leave a bad reputation in history, right? However, Liang had been dismissed from his official position by the official family and cut off the grace of the king and his ministers with the Zhao family. Now they are free. Maybe they can travel between the north and the south and mediate one or two?"
This is to make it clear that Jia Sidao demands power. Otherwise, why should he be in the north and south and mediate? Without Jia Sidao's authorization, what could he talk to Chen Dexing? Even if Chen Dexing is in great capacity, he would not care about all kinds of tricks Liang Chongru gave him to himself that day, and he could still give him a single and half position, but how big could he have? Liang Chongru is now in his early forties. Could he be a sesame official for Beiming?
If Jia Sidao's authorization was granted, the situation would be very different. Liang Chongru was the key figure in admiring Jiangnan for Chen Dexing. Although there were many righteous people among the scholars and officials in Jiangnan, it was rare to be willing to sacrifice to Zhao Song's loyalty and kindness. Most of them would kneel down before the Ming Dynasty's iron hoofs, and now they acted in a stance of resistance, just to bargain.
Liao Yingzhong's face looked solemn. He asked almost word by word: "Yi Fu, what are you going to say to Chen Dexing?"
Liang Chongru smiled faintly: "Of course we will protect the Pure Land of Zhao Song!"
"Zhao Song Pure Land?" Liao Yingzhong's eyebrows spread out, "Super the tribute?"
The Zhao family has done this once in history. They have surrendered to the Jurchens' Great Jin Kingdom. Now there is no problem in replacing the master with the Ming Dynasty.
"It's just to pay tribute!"
"Chen Dexingken?" Liao Ying asked.
Of course Chen Dexing was willing, but he wanted to kick the Zhao family away from Jiangnan, and the king of the Song Dynasty had to be replaced by Zhao Liner...
Of course, Liang Chongru did not know about this condition. He just saw Chen Dexing asking Li Yanguo to continue to stay in Shandong as the King of Tang, and felt that it was possible for Zhao Song to follow this precedent. If the Zhao family could be preserved, then there would be a step for the literati and officials in Jiangnan. Liang Chongru could also gain a reputation for eternity and gain real official positions from the Zhao family or from the Chen family.
"Mr. Liang tried his best to talk!" Liang Chongru and Tao. "I think I can always protect the Zhao family's land."
"Is it enough to have a letter from the Grand Master?" Liao Yingzhong opened his face calmly, "Pingzhang's military and national affairs are Jiang Guxin now!"
Liang Chongru smiled. "Let's make peace by fighting... moving Hongdu is to abandon Liangzhe and lose Liangzhe. No matter how dangerous the terrain of Jiangnan West Road is, how long can it last? Jiang Guxin's purpose of delaying time is probably also making peace?"
These words reveal the true face of the so-called Anti-Japanese War in the Southern Song Dynasty. The Anti-Japanese War is just for peace. The Zhao family wants to protect a piece of territory, and the literati and officials in Jiangnan want to protect their wealth and privileges. Confucian scholars who don’t have much wealth also want to kneel down and lick the new dynasty.
Although Zhao Song could not defeat Chen Ming, Chen Ming's territory was not rich. Now that Jiangnan has a maritime ban, it will definitely further weaken Chen Dexing's financial resources. In this case, quick battle and quick decision are the best strategy!
In order to win earlier, Chen Dexing may not be reluctant to give in, right?
"Okay!" Liao Yingzhong emphasized, "Yi Fu, let me see the Grand Master tomorrow."
...
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The second day after the Song Dynasty's official family left Lin'an in a tragic wind and rain, it was the first day of the seventh month of the Jiazi year of the Ming Dynasty.
The sound of cheers echoed in Yanjing City.
The rainfall has ended for several days, and Yanjing City has been deliberately cleaned and decorated. Especially around Zhaoming Palace and Tiandao Palace, all the buildings have been painted. All the bluestone slabs on the street have also been turned over, and a layer of fine sand is laid under the stone slabs. The whole road seems to be newly built.
The renovation of Zhaoming Palace was also completed before the last few days of rain. From the outside, the huge palace seemed to have returned to its former magnificence. However, within this appearance, only three or four out of ten houses that can be renovated can be lived in. Even these houses are mostly empty.
The Heavenly Dao Palace on the side of Zhaoming Palace is newly built, with a bit like a Taoist temple and is divided into three parts. Close to Zhaoming Palace, and a corridor connected to Zhaoming Palace is the Mingwang Palace, which is Chen Dexing's residence in Tiandao Palace. The chief Heavenly Dao Envoy Mo Yingniang also lives here with her student Xiao Ai, which is like the bedroom of Tiandao Palace.
On the left side of the Mingwang Hall is the Heavenly Dao Hall, which is where the envoys of the Heavenly Dao hold meetings. Each department of the Tiandao Sect also has its own office rooms in the Tiandao Hall. This is equivalent to the administrative center of the Tiandao Sect.
On the right side of the Mingwang Hall is the most magnificent Taiyi Hall built among the three halls. There is also a huge square in front of the Taiyi Hall, which is part of the Taiyi Hall. Taiyi Hall is a place where Tiandaoism holds religious activities, including preaching, sacrifices, religious ceremonies, and of course, the throne ceremony!
Chen Dexing regards the Tiandaoism as the national religion, and the Tiandaoism is a god religion, and he respects Taiyi alone, so naturally there is no ritual to worship heaven and earth. The throne ceremony and various religious ceremonies in the future can be handled in the Tiandao Palace next to Zhaoming Palace, which is much more convenient and quick.
Chen Dexing's emperor's ceremonial ceremony was also very simple. It was not inherited from the Tang and Song dynasties, but started a new job, following the principle of simplicity, solemnity and mightyness. There were brigades of steel-armored cavalry and steel-armored guards who pioneered the way, and they also had to shout salutes, not firecrackers, but real three-inch bronze cannons, equipped with h medicine and released. However, it was also a shaking earth, which was enough to shock people.
In addition, the brigade of steel-armored warriors, the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands were all shining with a captivating light under the sunlight.
This scene really made the princes, foreign envoys, and representatives of sirens and gentry from various provinces of the Ming Dynasty hold their breath and concentrate. Seeing Chen Dexing wearing steel armor, riding on a horse, guarded by a group of steel armored cavalry, cheering out from Zhaoming Palace, another burst of cheers erupted from all over the place: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Chen Dexing smiled slightly and nodded slightly. It is false to say that he is not excited in such a scene. This is to ascend the throne to become the emperor!
Although the treatment of the emperor seemed to be a little reduced. The number of beauties in the harem was small, with only a few people. The daily diet was simple, just the standard of ordinary wealthy families. They were also troubled by all kinds of annoying things all day long.
But this feeling of creating the world is above billions of people and being the only one who controls everything is really intoxicating!
In front of the Taiyi Palace, all civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty, representatives of envoys who came to watch the ceremony, members of the Ming Dynasty's Consultation Conference (elected by the parliament of the 11 provinces and two prefectures, totaling 218 people), Taoists of the Tiandaoism, teachers and students of the Tiandao Academy, and teachers and students of the Army and Naval Academy were all arranged in a row. Seeing Chen Dexing's horses approaching, they all knelt on one knee.
Chen Dexing got off the horse at the main entrance of the Taiyi Palace, and Li Cuixian, who followed him all the way, also dismounted.
"I welcome the saint!"
The ministers cheered in unison.
Chen Dexing took a few steps forward and saw Prime Minister Huang Zhishen, Army Secretary Ren Yijiang, Navy Secretary Gao Da, Consulting Council Chairman Zhao Fu and Chief Heavenly Envoy Mo Yingniang, all kneeling on one knee nearest to the door to welcome Chen Dexing.
"You guys are calm!" Chen Dexing said loudly.
Everyone stood up one after another, and it was not a grace to stand in Chen Ming with the Emperor Laozi without any gratitude, and there was no need to thank him.
"Sage, I am leading the way." Mo Yingniang, wearing a white Taoist outfit, walked up a few steps, bowed to Chen Dexing, and then turned to the Taiyi Palace. Chen Dexing followed up, but none of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, including Li Cuixian, followed.
The huge Taiyi Hall is also empty. Apart from the largest Taiyi God tablet in the world and thousands of neatly arranged cushions, it seems that Chen Dexing and Mo Yingniang. According to the provisions in "Chen Li", before the king ascends the throne, he must pray and worship before the Taiyi God throne, and there can only be one envoy present. Others are not allowed to watch it.
