Although Feng Bogong and others in the court had been mentally prepared, they did not expect Zhu Youde to declare war so easily.
Why don't you give me a hint?
This declares war.
Daliang declared war on the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it should not have informed Northern Yan and the Western Regions in advance.
Isn't it too flippant to be so direct?
Since ancient times, when a country declares war, it must be announced to the world and informed to all directions, and there must be a legitimate reason.
After all, it is important to make a teacher famous!
But Zhu Youde is too lazy to do that. Is it necessary?
Wang Po had set out secretly yesterday with 10,000 new troops, and was ready to start a war against the Southern Tang Dynasty.
This is Liang Zan's plan.
Here the army went to the south of the Yangtze River, and over there Liang Zan also received Zhu Youde's imperial edict and went to Hedong to serve as an assassin to avenge his ancestors.
Cui Li thought for a moment and felt that this was inappropriate.
Although everyone knows that a war is about to begin, but the ceremony.
Being in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette yourself is a matter of the Ministry of Etiquette.
Your emperor actually doesn’t want me to be in the limelight!
"Your Majesty is wise, the Southern Tang Dynasty provoked our country, and I support the war. However, since ancient times, when a country declares war, it is necessary to declare war to the world. Our country is a just act. I don't know what the name of your majesty is to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. I think it is disrespectful to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
How about the beam?"
The ministers suddenly became energetic!
That's right, this is the legal procedure. If your emperor just declares war and it's over, then do you want us ministers to do it just for food?
We have to discuss it, come up with the results, and then hold a declaration of war ceremony, and also worship the heaven and earth. Only then can there be a sense of ceremony.
Feng Bogong nodded: "Your Majesty, I also feel that your Majesty has been rash just now. Important matters of the country are enshrined in the army. When the king uses swords and soldiers, he needs to report to the gods of heaven and earth. Your Majesty should lead your ministers and others to salute, so that you can get the protection of the gods. The army will be protected by the gods."
The battle was successful”
Emperor, if you do this to us ministers, we will have no chance to perform.
You have to create a ceremony so that everyone can shine together.
Damn Daliang used to be the noodle court!
Now it is finally possible to declare war openly and openly. If you don't hold a ceremony, how can you improve the happiness of the people and the self-confidence of the people?
What a waste.
"Your Majesty shall offer sacrifices to the Martial Temple"
"The Pantheon should also offer sacrifices. Is it just the Guangwu Temple? The sages are no longer saints and should be worshiped."
"We still need to write a declaration of war. I am not talented, but I am willing to write it."
Ouch!
In an instant, all the ministers looked back at the speaker, and they reacted!
The person who wrote the declaration of war will definitely go down in history and leave his name in history.
Doesn’t it mean that everyone who is an official wants to leave a name in history?
The emperor must have led them to do the sacrifices. The protagonist is the emperor, so he can write a declaration of war!
It will definitely be written in the history books that when the emperor declares war, a certain book will be written, and the name will appear in the history books.
Maybe just because of this matter, historians will give you a separate page.
When they saw that it was Liang Shucheng of the Hanlin Academy, the ministers immediately felt unhappy.
You, a Hanlin scholar, dare to steal my opportunity to leave my name in history.
"How can you discuss important national affairs? Stand down." Luo Yunshan said angrily. He also wanted to write a declaration of war: "Your Majesty, I am the Minister of the Ministry of War. It is most appropriate for me to write the declaration of war."
"Luo Shangshu, your calligraphy is not good, I'm afraid you will make the world laugh at you!"
"nonsense!"
"Don't you know whether you are talking nonsense or not? Why don't you come with me? I am a Jinshi. Your Majesty, your Majesty also said that I am the most suitable person for you. Please give me this opportunity."
Luo Yunshan was angry.
He is not a Jinshi, he became a minister because the queen is his granddaughter.
There's nothing you can do about comparing academic qualifications with him.
But except for relatives like him, no one in the court is a Jinshi.
"You are the only one who is a Jinshi, isn't so-and-so? Is so-and-so's handwriting ugly?"
"I'm here, Your Majesty. I was the number one scholar that year."
"You are talking about words, what does it have to do with being the number one scholar!" Lu Shengzhi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I thought that a mature and prudent person, preferably a famous person, would be elected to declare war!"
Such as you!
Zhu Youde was also speechless.
But he was still very happy. It was worth being happy that the ministers in the court were not afraid of fighting.
It shows that the courtiers in Daliang are united.
Zhu Youde didn't care about declarations of war. After all, the troops had been sent out. How could they be called back?
"What you said makes sense. Who do you think is appropriate to write a declaration of war?"
Lu Shengzhi glanced at the ministers who were about to make a move, and some of those who had a good relationship with Lu Shengzhi kept blinking.
Choose me, I am the best.
Several officials once gave Lu Shengzhi gifts, and they immediately raised their chests and raised their heads.
Lu Gong is already a famous person in the world and does not need this kind of fame.
I have given him food, and with this friendship, he should consider me this time.
Lu Shengzhi smiled: "Your Majesty, I think I will do my duty!"
Grass mud horse!
The ministers stared at Lu Shengzhi fiercely. Do you want to lose face?
You want face.
Lu Shengzhi looked over with wide eyes: "Why do you think that a certain person, a veteran of three dynasties, is not qualified for this?"
Damn it!
Cui Li and the others vomited blood.
They really can't take away the shamelessness of the old man.
A veteran of three dynasties.
Cui Li said with a dark face: "How can Lu Gonghai's reputation compete with me and other younger generations for opportunities?"
You are so shameless in relying on your old age.
"This is a state matter. I'm worried that you can't control it. Young people have nothing to say but don't work hard. In the declaration of war, you can write whatever you want. You have to research the allusions."
Lu Shengzhi said: "The emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was unethical and provoked our great beams and disrespected our great beams. Is this enough? Didn't the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty oppress the people? Didn't they rob women? Wasn't there anger from heaven and people? During the reign of the late emperor, the Southern Tang Dynasty once broke the trust of our dynasty.
, I haven’t married a princess into the family, do you know this?"
You don't know!
Lu Shengzhi was extremely proud, he knew many things as he lived.
"I, Princess Daliang, died in the Southern Tang Dynasty, do you know!"
Wait a minute!
Zhu Youde couldn't sit still: "Lv Gong, our princess died in Daliang, when did it happen?"
"More than forty years ago!"
Damn it!
What the f*ck are you doing... You're telling me about things that happened more than forty years ago. You're awesome. You really have a good memory.
No wonder I don’t know!
Zhu Youde was also convinced. He was better at keeping small accounts than women, but it was very reasonable between countries.
You can go to war as long as there is a reason.
And Lu Shengzhi knows many things that the current ministers don't know. This is an advantage.
Zhu Youde said: "Okay, let Lu Gong write the declaration of war. Cui Li, you will be responsible for declaring it to heaven and earth."
Cui Li was disappointed at first, but he didn't expect Zhu Youde to let him be in charge of the sacrifice. What an honor.
Cui Li felt very happy immediately.
"Your Majesty, please let me know when the sacrifice will be held!"
"It's your decision, I have no intention of going."
