My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 232
King Zhu Chun of Shu took out a gold-painted brocade box, only one foot square... There is no doubt that it contained the human skin of Liang Guogong Sapphire.

How should I put it, Xu Jingchang's mood is very complicated.

He also looked through the file, and he openly asked for the position of the grand master with the blue jade, that is to take death as the right way.Not to mention his various illegal deeds, Zhu Yuanzhang killed him as a matter of course, and it is reasonable to skin him.

Two words: deserve it!
But with the passage of time, those who personally experienced Sapphire's death in the past have aged one after another.The big guy remembered more and more that he led the army across the desert, defying hardships, fishing in the sea, and defeating the Mongols.

Since Sapphire, there have been few generals who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him in China.

This is a star who came out only a few hundred years ago!
Such a character, leaving only a piece of human skin, is really embarrassing.

"His Royal Highness, what are you going to do?"

Shu King Zhu Chun wanted to say something, but he still glanced at Zhou King Zhu Su, "Fifth brother, you should say it." After all, he and Xu Jingchang were not familiar with each other, so he didn't have the courage.

Zhu Huan said: "Mr. Ding, do you think it is possible to bury Duke Liang according to the etiquette of the Duke?"

Xu Jingchang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, after all, the case was decided by the Emperor Taizu, and the imperial edict was promulgated to the world. It's not the time yet. I was thinking, can I find a treasured geomantic omen nearby for burial?" Heroes?"

Zhu Wei said without hesitation: "Ding Guogong has the final say, we listen to you."

Xu Jingchang said: "I have been in Beiping for a while, and I found that the Huangtu Mountain in Changping is very good in geomantic omen. I plan to build a cemetery in Huangtu Mountain...mainly to bury the martyrs who died for the country. Liang Guogong Lanyu followed Emperor Taizu, He has repeatedly made military exploits and made many Northern Expeditions, extolling our Hua Xia's prestige, and burying him here will also shock Xiaoxiao and rest easy."

When Zhu Chun heard it, he also thought it was good, "Mr. Ding, can I go and have a look?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Of course, please rest assured, King Shu, this place will definitely satisfy you."

Can you be dissatisfied?
The name of Huangtu Mountain is unremarkable, but in the future there will be a name called Tianshou Mountain, which is the location of the Ming Tombs. Xu Jingchang took out Zhu Di's grave and used it to bury soldiers.
In fact, from the heart, Xu Jingchang did not agree with Zhu Di moving the capital to Beiping.

From the perspective of the current economic conditions, moving the capital to Beiping would be too much of a burden, almost requiring the entire Ming Dynasty to be supported, which is not a blessing in the world.

If Xu Jingchang really develops Beiping according to Xu Jingchang's vision, he still doesn't want Zhu Di to come to Beiping to join in the fun.

After all, there are too many rules under the emperor's feet, which is not conducive to economic development.

Ideally, 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.

Anyway, there is no rush for this matter. If the financial resources really allow it, avoiding the main big cities and building a medium-sized capital city can also be considered.

But no matter what, Xu Jingchang occupied the grave of old Zhu's family first.

It goes without saying that the geomantic omen of Huangtu Mountain.

Zhu Chun went there, and when he came back, he was full of praise and gave Xu Jingchang two thumbs up.

"Fifth brother, just rush to this position. Duke Ding is really caring! No wonder you always say he is good. It is really extraordinary."

Zhu Huan smiled, "Eleventh Brother, Ding Guogong helped publish my book "Famine Relief Materia Medica". He is smart and wise and has the most ideas. If you want to ask him for help, just ask."

Zhu Chun hesitated for a moment, "Fifth brother, is Duke Ding really responsive to requests?"

Zhu Huan nodded, "You still don't believe what brother Wu said, so let's go see him right now."

The two brothers chatted non-stop along the way... Zhu Chun, the King of Shu, was famous among Lao Zhu's many sons for his loyalty, filial piety and studiousness. He gathered a lot of Confucian scholars around him, and they were very happy to lecture and debate the classics all day long.

"Fifth brother, don't look at the fact that Bashu is called the land of abundance. In fact, it is such a piece of land. To the west and south, there are chieftains. Han and Yi live together, and the language and customs are different... When Huang Kao sealed the younger brother to Shu, I thought about it. Spend your energy on teaching, unite and divide, teach the people, strengthen the righteousness, and make the hearts of the people return."

Zhu Huan said with a smile: "Eleventh brother is kind, the Yuan court has occupied the Central Plains for a hundred years, not only the land of Bashu, but also Yunnan, Peking, including Kaifeng where I am, and the Central Plains. There are many Mongols and Semu People live in a mixed environment. Carrying out enlightenment, making it belong to Ming Dynasty, the world is of one heart, and all surnames belong to one family, this is a great merit and good fortune."

Zhu Chun blushed slightly, "My little brother just wants to make a little money, but I can't help but spend this money!"

Zhu Chun complained to Zhu Huan. When he was a vassal in Bashu, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the Ministry of Households to send him 30 ingots of treasure...for him to reward the people around him.

"Fifth brother, I spent all this money in less than a year. Later, I used my salary to maintain it, and [-] to [-]% of the output of the farm was used to entertain scholars. I am really envious of fifth brother's works. Publish the world and benefit the common people, and my younger brother also wants to achieve something, so that he can live up to the hopes of the emperor."

After hearing this, Zhu Huan also agreed very much. As a vassal king, it is naturally right to do something serious and set an example for the world.

But judging from what Zhu Chun said, the cost is not small, and he doesn't know if Xu Jingchang has an idea... Let's give it a try!

The two of them found Xu Jingchang who was busy, and after Zhu Wei said something about it, Xu Jingchang's eyes lit up immediately, and he was overjoyed.

"Prince Zhou, you don't know. I talked with the King of Han about Zhuge Prime Minister Zhuge's strategy for governing Shu a while ago! I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Shu to come."

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 it comes to Prime Minister Zhuge, they all cast their eyes on him. Without favoritism, he is indeed an example of virtuous ministers throughout the ages, Xiao Wang also often goes to Wuhou Temple to worship the prime minister, and pray to Prime Minister Zhuge to protect the land of Bashu, the weather will be smooth, and our Ming Dynasty will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

Listening to the eloquent talk of His Highness the King of Shu, Xu Jingchang couldn't help frowning.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, may I ask, Zhuge Cheng has been fighting for years, how can he be regarded as lightly paid and poorly paid, resting with the people?"

Zhu Chun was stunned, what do you mean, does Prime Minister Zhuge not cherish the people?Or maybe this Duke Ding didn't like Prime Minister Zhuge?He froze here, not knowing how to answer.

Zhu Wei frowned slightly, "Mr. Ding, Prime Minister Zhuge governs Shu strictly, and the people are all convinced. Although they have been fighting for years, it is for the revival of the Han Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "How can I say that the prime minister is wrong? I just want to say that the prime minister's way of governing Shu is not a cliché at all...His Royal Highness, I would like to ask, what kind of scholars do you like to be with? Let's talk together?"

Zhu Chun's face was slightly red, and after hesitating for a long time, he murmured: "Well... When Xiao Wang just became a feudal clan, he invited Fang Xiaoru..."

It turned out to be this dude, the truth is a bit hard to say!
However, Zhu Chun's ability to survive Jing's disaster safely is also related to Fang Xiaoru.

Although Lao Fang had become one of the four traitors, he was executed by Zhu Di.But his disciples, relatives and friends are still there... After all, Zhu Di did not kill the ten clans of the Fang family.

It is not surprising that Zhu Chun, king of Shu, has such insights when he gets together with this group of people.

"The Kingdom of Shu was able to rely on the land of Yizhou to rival the Central Plains. It has repeatedly dispatched troops and achieved good results. It did not rely on this set of ordinary means. After all, marching and fighting require food, and you can't rely on God to send food. I discussed with the King of Han , Prime Minister Zhuge took Shu brocade as the core, developed trade, and earned military funds... He conquered barbarians in the south and brought Shu brocade techniques, which have been passed down to this day, and have benefited for thousands of years. This is the key to the prime minister's rule of Shu."

Zhu Chun was dumbfounded, isn't that right?
He has gathered so many famous scholars and talents, no one has said such a thing?
Can a mere Shu Brocade be so useful?
Zhu Chun didn't believe it... Coincidentally, Huang Guan was going to discuss the sacrificial rites with Xu Jingchang, and Zhu Gaoxu also came to urge labor, and the big guys got together.

Zhu Chun also knew Huang Guan, and he was impressed by the knowledge of this six-headed leader, so he immediately asked for advice.

After Huang Guan finished listening, he couldn't help sighing, "Over the years, when talking about Prime Minister Zhuge, it's not about his outstanding achievements, but about his loyalty after he failed the Northern Expedition. As for how he governed Shu, not many people really have a clear idea. What Duke Dingguo said about pacifying Nanzhong, promoting Shu brocade, and funding the army with the brocade is true, but not many people paid attention to it."

Zhu Chun immediately turned pale with shock, "Huang Shangshu, could it be that Xiao Wang really made a mistake?"

Huang Guan was stunned, and said helplessly: "It's also because some people taught it wrong."

Now Zhu Chun can get Yuyu.

Xu Jingchang laughed and said, "Actually, Prime Minister Zhuge is not the only one who has been ignored? How many people can say that Guan Zhong's method of governing the country? Also, it is true that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, but at that time he was collecting money for the great man and buying soldiers. Is the one with the horse weapon a Confucian official?"

Zhu Chun was dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "Wei Huo is a minister who is lucky to advance, Sang Hongyang collects and exploits, Zhang Tang, Zhufu Yan and others are all cruel officials."

Zhu Gaoxu, king of the Han Dynasty, concluded: "Anyway, Confucian scholar-bureaucrats don't like it, right?"

Zhu Chun nodded helplessly.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted even more angrily: "But these are the people who assisted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, beat the Xiongnu hard, and sealed the wolves into Xuxu. On the contrary, they are virtuous ministers and celebrities, and they are all in charge of the dynasty. They are either old coins or land, and they don't want face."

Zhu Chun was completely speechless, he likes to read, he is known as a scholar of Shu, and others praised him, but today someone told him that all the books you read are wrong, and the truth is a bit broken.

Zhu Sui persuaded, "Eleventh Brother, actually you don't have to pay too much attention to it. The book I wrote is not on the right track."

Zhu Chun was even more speechless.

At this time, Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It's not up to them to decide whether it's the right path or not. Anyway, now is a good time for the reform of government schools...His Royal Highness Zhou Wang, His Royal Highness Shu Wang, let us work together to build a new school and teach What do you think of the new knowledge, let those orthodox scholars go away?"

Zhu Wei immediately said: "I am willing to donate all the manuscript fees!"

Zhu Chun, king of Shu, murmured a wry smile, "Since it's wrong, why should I spend money to support those trash!"

　The situation is better, but I still have to go a dozen times... The big guys give the little one time to recover slowly
