Zhu Chun, King of Shu, took out a brocade box painted with gold, only one foot square... There is no doubt that it contains the human skin of Liang Guogong Sapphire.
How should I put it, Xu Jingchang's mood is very complicated.
He also looked through the files, and based on Lan Yu's blatant request for the position of Grand Master, it was the right way to die. Not to mention his various illegal actions, it was natural for Zhu Yuanzhang to kill him, and it was also reasonable for him to skin him.
Two words: You deserve it!
But as time goes by, those who had personally experienced the blue jade method of death have grown old one after another. Everyone remembers more and more that he led an army across the desert, was not afraid of hardships, fished in the sea, and defeated the Mongols.
Since Lan Yu, there have been few generals in China who can compare with him.
This is a general who only came out hundreds of years ago!
It is really sad that such a person only has a piece of human skin left.
"Your Highness, King of Shu, what are you going to do?"
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, wanted to say something, but he still glanced at Zhu Ju, the king of Zhou, and said, "Fifth brother, it's up to you to say it." After all, he and Xu Jingchang were not familiar with each other, so he didn't have the courage.
Zhu Ji said: "Dong Guo, do you think it is possible to bury Duke Liang according to the etiquette of the duke?"
Xu Jingchang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, this case was decided by Emperor Taizu after all, and the imperial edict was issued to the world. Now is not the time. I was wondering if I could find a geomantic treasure place nearby for burial.
Heroic?"
Zhu Zhu nodded, "If you still don't believe what Fifth Brother said, let's go see him right now."
Zhu Tong advised: "Brother Eleven, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. The books I wrote are not on the right track."
After hearing this, Huang Guan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Over the years, when talking about Prime Minister Zhuge, it's either about his role as a military commander, or about his loyalty before the Northern Expedition was completed. As for how he governs Shu, not many people really know clearly.
What Duke Dingguo said about pacifying Nanzhong, promoting Shu brocade, and using brocade to support the army is true and not wrong, but not many people paid attention to it."
According to the ideal situation, Zhu Di had better choose a capital city in the Central Plains... such as Kaifeng, Luoyang, Shangqiu... Of course, these places may not be suitable due to the flooding of the Yellow River.
Huang Guan was startled and said helplessly: "Some people are taught wrongly."
Zhu Ru frowned slightly and said, "Dong Dingguo, Prime Minister Zhuge is strict in governing Shu, and the people are all convinced. Although they have been fighting for years, it is only for the purpose of reviving the Han Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"The Kingdom of Shu can rely on the land of Yizhou to compete with the Central Plains. It has sent out troops many times and achieved good results. It does not rely on this set of ordinary methods. After all, marching and fighting require food, and you cannot rely on God to send food. I discussed with the King of Han
, Prime Minister Zhuge used Shu brocade as the core to develop trade and earn military resources... He conquered the barbarians south and brought Shu brocade techniques, which have been passed down to this day and benefited for thousands of years. This is the key to Prime Minister's governance of Shu."
Zhu Chun hesitated for a moment, "Fifth brother, can Duke Ding really respond to all requests?"
After all, there are too many rules under the emperor's feet, which is not conducive to economic development.
The two brothers kept chatting along the way... Among Lao Zhu's many sons, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, was known for his loyalty, filial piety and studiousness. There were a lot of Confucian scholars gathered around him, and they lectured and debated scriptures together all day long. They were very happy.
Listening to His Highness the King of Shu's talk, Xu Jingchang couldn't help but frown.
Zhu Zhu said without hesitation: "Ding Guogong has the final say, we will listen to you."
But no matter what, Xu Jingchang occupied the graveyard of Lao Zhu's family first.
Xu Jingchang said: "I have been in Peiping for some time. I found that the feng shui of the Loess Mountain in Changping is excellent. I plan to build a cemetery in the Loess Mountain... mainly to bury martyrs who died for their country. Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, followed Emperor Taizu.
He has made many military exploits and made many northern expeditions to show off our power in China. Burying him here can also intimidate Xiaoxiao and let him sit back and relax."
Zhu Chun complained to Zhu Chu. When he wanted to conquer Bashu, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to send him 300,000 ingots... and asked him to use it to reward people around him.
The two of them found Xu Jingchang who was busy. As soon as Zhu Zhu said something about it, Xu Jingchang's eyes immediately lit up and he was overjoyed.
Now Zhu Chun can be fooled.
Zhu Gaoxu even more angrily said: "But these people assisted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, severely attacked the Xiongnu, and sealed the wolf as a coward. On the contrary, they are virtuous ministers and celebrities, and they are all upright in the court. They are either giving away coins or ceding land, and they don't even have a face."
Zhu Chun went there and came back full of praise and gave Xu Jingchang two thumbs up.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "How could I say that the Prime Minister was wrong? I just want to say that the Prime Minister's method of governing Shu is not the cliché of frivolous corvee and low wealth... Your Highness, King of Shu, I would like to ask, what kind of scholars do you like to hang out with?"
Let’s talk about it together?”
Zhu Chun seemed to be in a good mood and immediately said: "When I was in Bashu, many scholars gathered together to talk about the past and the present. When talking about Prime Minister Zhuge, everyone fell in love with him. The prime minister took the corvee lightly and paid little tax, rested with the people, and the laws were strict.
He shows no favoritism and is indeed an example of virtuous ministers throughout the ages. The young king often goes to Wuhou Temple to worship the Prime Minister and pray to Prime Minister Zhuge to bless the land of Bashu, bring good weather and good weather, and make the Ming Dynasty peaceful and peaceful."
If Peking is really developed according to Xu Jingchang's vision, he still doesn't want Zhu Di to come to Peking to join in the fun.
Zhu Chun nodded helplessly.
Zhu Chun was dumbfounded and said for a long time: "Wei Huo is a minister who is lucky enough to be admitted, Sang Hongyang gathers and exploits, Zhang Tang, the master father Yan and others are all cruel officials."
After hearing this, Zhu Xi agreed very much. As a vassal king, it is naturally right to do something serious and set an example for the world.
Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty, concluded: "Anyway, Confucian scholar-bureaucrats look down on it, right?"
The feng shui of Huangtu Mountain goes without saying.
Judging from the current economic conditions, moving the capital to Peking would be too much of a burden. It would almost take the entire Ming Dynasty to support it, which would not be a blessing to the world.
Zhu Ju smiled and said, "Brother Eleven, my book "Herbal for Famine Relief" was published with the help of Duke Dingguo. He is a smart and wise man with the most ideas. If you want his help, just ask."
"Fifth brother, don't look at it. Bashu is known as the land of abundance. In fact, it is just like this. To the west and south, there are chieftains. Han and Yi live together, with different languages and customs... When Huang Kao sealed my younger brother to Shu, I was thinking
Spend your energy lecturing, harmonious and divided people, educating the people, strengthening their righteousness, and making people's hearts fall in love with you."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Of course, King Shu, please rest assured, this place will definitely satisfy you."
Zhu Chun was stunned. What do you mean? Does Prime Minister Zhuge not care about the people? Or maybe the Duke of Dingguo despises Prime Minister Zhuge? He was stunned here, not knowing how to answer.
"King Zhou, you don't know. Not long ago, I talked with the King of Han about Prime Minister Zhuge's plan to govern Shu! I didn't expect His Highness the King of Shu to come."
But according to Zhu Chun, this expense is not small. He doesn't know if Xu Jingchang has any ideas... Let's give it a try!
Zhu Chun's face turned slightly red, "I just want to make the most of my little money, but I can't help but spend the money!"
Zhu Chun was stunned, isn't this wrong?
He has gathered so many celebrities and talented people, but no one has ever said such a thing?
Can a mere Shu Brocade be of such great use?
Zhu Chun didn't believe it... By coincidence, Huang Guan was coming to discuss the memorial with Xu Jingchang, and Zhu Gaoxu also came to urge the labor, and everyone got together.
Zhu Chun was completely speechless. He loved reading and was known as a scholar of Shu. Others praised him. But today someone told him that all the books he read were wrong. It was true that his outlook on life had collapsed.
"Fifth Brother, I spent all this money in less than a year. Later, I used my salary to maintain it, and 70% to 80% of the output of the farm was used to entertain scholars. I am really envious. Fifth Brother's works can
Publish it all over the world and benefit the people. I also want to achieve something, so that I can live up to the expectations of the imperial examination."
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Actually, Prime Minister Zhuge is not the only one who has been ignored. How many people can speak highly of Guan Zhong's way of governing the country? Also, it is true that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, but at that time he raised money and purchased troops for the Han Dynasty.
Are those who use horses and weapons considered Confucian ministers?"
It is not surprising that King Zhu Chun of Shu got together with this group of people and had such knowledge.
It turned out to be this old man, which is really a bit hard to tell!
However, Zhu Chun's ability to survive the Jing Dynasty safely was also related to Fang Xiaoru.
Can you be dissatisfied?
The name of Huangtu Mountain is not eye-catching, but it will have a name in the future, called Tianshou Mountain, which is the location of the Ming Tombs. Xu Jingchang took out Zhu Di's tomb to bury soldiers, so it couldn't be worse!
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Xu Jingchang did not agree with Zhu Di moving the capital to Peking.
Zhu Ju smiled and said: "Brother Eleven has a good idea. The Yuan Dynasty has occupied the Central Plains for a hundred years. Not only Bashu, but also Yunnan, Beiping, including Kaifeng where I am, there are many Mongolians and Semu in the Central Plains.
People live together in mixed communities. Promote enlightenment and make them join the Ming Dynasty. The world is of one heart and all people belong to one family. This is great merit and good fortune."
Zhu Chun also knew Huang Guan, and he was impressed by the knowledge of Liushou Kuiyuan and immediately asked for advice.
Although Lao Fang had become one of the four rebels and was executed by Zhu Di. But his disciples, relatives and friends are still there... After all, Zhu Di did not kill the ten families of the Fang family.
"Fifth brother, for this position, Duke Dingguo is really thoughtful! No wonder you always say good things about him, it's really extraordinary."
Anyway, this matter cannot be rushed. If financial resources really permit, we can also consider avoiding major big cities and building a medium-sized capital city.
When Zhu Chun heard this, he thought it was good, "Ding Guo Gong, can I go and have a look?"
Zhu Chun was immediately shocked and said, "Huang Shangshu, is it really that Xiao Wang has learned wrongly?"
Zhu Chun's face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time before murmuring: "Well... when Xiao Wang just became a vassal, he invited Fang Xiaoru..."
"His Royal Highness, King of Shu, I would like to ask, how can Zhuge Cheng, who has been fighting for years in succession, be regarded as frivolous corvee and low taxes, resting with the people?"
Zhu Chun was even more speechless.
At this time, Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It is not up to them to decide whether it is the right path or not. Anyway, now is a great time for the reform of official schools... His Highness the King of Zhou and His Highness the King of Shu, let us work together to establish a new school and teach
What do you think about the new knowledge and asking those orthodox scholars to get out of here?"
Zhu Xi immediately said: "I am willing to donate all royalties!"
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, murmured with a bitter smile, "Since it is wrong, why should I spend money to feed those losers!"
The situation is getting better, but I still have to go about ten times... The big guys should give the little ones some time to recover slowly.
