The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 549
Mu Xu is actually more inclined to use Ming as the country name.

One, whether it is meaning or pronunciation, Ming characters are really good.

Both are due to Mu Xu's admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang.In his heart, this commoner emperor's martial arts and martial arts can be ranked among the top three in history, and he is a role model for him to learn from.

Therefore, after seeing that everyone was in favor, he stood up against all opinions and said, "Since everyone has no objection, then it is so decided, and Ming will be the name of the country from now on."

Seeing that the boss had made a decision, the rest of the people had nothing to say, only Xu Guanzhong came out of the shift and said, "My lord, do you want someone to prepare for the enthronement?"

Mu Xu thought for a while, then shook his head and refused: "The time is not yet ripe, just change the title of the king. As for the enthronement, it will not be too late to talk about it until the world is established."

When Xu Guanzhong bowed and took the order to leave, Mu Xu was about to announce the end of the banquet, but seeing Le He came out under the push of several people, he couldn't help wondering: "Is there anything else to report?"

With a bitter face, Le He gritted his teeth and asked, "I wonder if the lord can tell me which lady you want to be the main concubine?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone at the scene was silent, and then their eyes lit up, looking up at Mu Xu.

As for Mu Xu, who seemed puzzled, he asked calmly, "The position of the princess has already been determined, so why bother?"

Especially in the early Tang Dynasty when the power of the Guanlongmen Clan was at its peak, Li Ke would not be able to restore the Sui Dynasty, but if he dared to reverse the case for Yang Guang, his throne would be unstable.

Therefore, this argument does not hold water at all.In Mu Xu's view, the real reason why Li Shimin did not choose Li Ke was probably more because Li Ke was not a direct son and he was under pressure from the nobles of Guanlong.

Leaving aside that he is still young, there is no need to be so anxious to decide on an heir. Even if he takes a step back, if he really appoints Zhao Fujin's son in the future, isn't that his Mu Xu's son?
At the same time, he also knew in his heart what the civil and military ministers under him were thinking.

Of course, this is just a high-sounding statement, which is used to fool people. The real reason is that once Mu Xu establishes Zhao Fujin's son as his heir, these old officials under him will worry that this son will favor the Song officials who surrendered in the future, which will affect them in the future. position in the court.

With so many identities superimposed, it is naturally doomed that Changsun Wuji and Li Ke are enemies.Later events also proved this point. Not long after Li Zhicai ascended the throne, Changsun Wuji couldn't wait to make charges, and killed Li Ke unjustly by taking advantage of Princess Gaoyang's affairs.

The reason is simple, Li Ke is not a fool, why would he do such thankless things?
It is true that the emperor is the supreme being in the world, but that does not mean that he can do whatever he wants, and everything can be settled with one word.

Regarding this issue, Mu Xu had thought about it when he married Zhao Fujin, but after careful consideration, he felt that there was no need to make such a fuss.

However, considering that the Southern Expedition was imminent, and in order to prevent unforeseen complications, Mu Xu only clarified Zhao Fujin's status as his wife, but did not mention the matter of establishing an heir. Seeing his attitude, all the officials could only calm down and leave one after another.

"The minister Mu Xu respectfully told the emperor and the queen of the land that the great Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the world fell apart. The heroes competed for the throne for more than a hundred years, and when Zhou Shizong succeeded to the throne and wiped out the ministers, China will be at peace.

May I ask, under this premise, what else can dispel the unreasonable thoughts of other sons than establishing a son as the heir?
Besides the Guanlong nobles, anyone who has read history books should know that this group of people stretched from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the mid-Tang Dynasty, and they were always the most powerful political force at that time.

In the following period of time, the entire Nether Cloud Realm seemed to be calm on the surface, but there was an undercurrent surging in the dark, and there was a tendency of storms coming, which attracted various forces to speculate about what big moves Mu Xu would make in the future. .

"This..." There was a moment of hesitation on Le He's face, he didn't know whether he should continue to speak, but Wen Huanzhang, who was at the side, stood up and cupped his hands when he saw this, "Could it be that the prince has forgotten the old things about Tang Taizong?"

However, Sejong did not have a false year, and the middle road collapsed before halfway through his business. Later, Zhao Dachenqiao rebelled and usurped the throne.

Since the Song Dynasty, the Zhao family has been neither righteous nor able to govern the country. It has humiliated the country by losing teachers to the outside world, and harmed the people at home. The ministers are deeply ashamed.

In this way, the thing that he fears the most after he ascends the throne is that his sons will follow suit, and they will also kill each other.

Of course Mu Xu knew what they meant, and it was nothing more than Li Shimin's failure to make Li Ke the crown prince, and he came to insinuate to remind him not to forget Zhao Fujin's identity.

Who is Changsun Wuji?That is Li Shimin's eldest brother, the number one hero of Zhenguan hand-picked by him, the leading figure of the Guanlong nobles, and Li Zhi's own uncle.

Let me first talk about the influence of Li Ke not being a son-in-law. You must know that Li Shimin himself became a position by relying on the change of Xuanwumen.

Mu Xu knew the above things clearly, so it was impossible to use Tang Taizong's past events to persuade him to change his mind.

In addition, Changsun Wuji's role in it is also crucial.

To some extent, the Sui and Tang dynasties were established by the nobles of Guanlong. To put it bluntly, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, and Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, were just leaders elected by these people. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty wanted to suppress them, and the country Broken to death, she was infamous through the ages.

It is precisely because of Yang Guang's previous experience that the Guanlong nobles naturally did not want, nor did they want Li Shimin's heir to be Yang Guang's grandson Li Ke.

It's nothing more than those clichés, saying that they will worry that Zhao Fujin's son will restore Song Yunyun.

Today is the time when the barbarians are messing with China, and they are obeying the orders of the heavens. They have both civil and military skills under their command, and the people under their rule are clear..."

Finally, the time came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Jingkang in the Song Dynasty, which was the day of the Lantern Festival. Zhao Ye first led his group of officials to set up an altar in the outskirts of Yanjing to worship heaven and earth, changed the name of the king to Ming, and then ordered people to read it out in public. Call for the Southern Expedition.

Take the case of Tang Taizong not making Li Ke the crown prince as an example. Later generations always make a fuss about Li Ke being the grandson of Emperor Sui Yang. .

Once the proclamation was issued, it immediately caused an uproar all over the world, and the court of the Song Dynasty issued edicts again and again, denouncing Mu Xu as a traitor and traitor, and hurriedly dispatched troops from all over the country to deploy defenses in Kaifeng and Hebei.

But at this time, there was still no time, at the same time when the call to action was issued, Mu Xu gave an order, and the two armies from the East and the West, from Youzhou and Yunzhou respectively, rushed straight to the territory of the Song Dynasty like a broken bamboo.

Under the front of the Ming army like a dragon and a tiger, the local defenders of the Song Dynasty retreated steadily. In less than half a month, they lost Yanmen Pass, Waqiao Pass and other important passes. Snowflakes generally spread towards Kaifeng.

Faced with successive defeat news, the emperors and ministers of Song Dynasty headed by Zhao Huan suddenly panicked.Some people proposed to call on the soldiers and horses of the world to work hard for the king, while others suggested that it is better to cede land and seek peace.What's more, some shameless people wrote letters, urging Zhao Huan to seek help from Jin Guo and Xixia.
