Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 199 The legitimacy of the dynasty?The only ones who win the country are Han and Ming! (seeking subscription)
With the introduction of a whip method, Fang Keqin's reputation became polarized.

In the eyes of scholars and those officials, he is the biggest treacherous official in history, a person full of evil, bad to the bone.

But in the eyes of the common people, he is the one and only Master Qingtian.

The people even took the initiative to build a shrine for Fang Keqin.

The so-called Shengci refers to the ancestral hall built for living people.

Those without great merit cannot bear it.

If ordinary people are alive and built a shrine, it will lose their lifespan.

But Fang Keqin has done so many practical things, but he can bear it.

Although Fang Keqin obeyed the order of the emperor to implement a whip method, but he was able to do things to this extent, the credit is unique.

Fang Keqin felt the power of those continuous merits, and these merits brought his strength and realm to an unprecedented level.

And this also made Fang Keqin firmer in his own path.

For a Confucian civil servant like him, the biggest pursuit is to leave a name in history, and his name will last forever.

And now, the opportunity is at hand.

How can you give up easily?

Fang Keqin had long regarded his own life as something outside his body.

……

Ying Tianfu.

Inside the palace.

Looking at the memorial in his hand, Su Che couldn't help but smile slightly: "The common people spontaneously built a shrine for Fang Keqin?"

"Since ancient times, people who have taken the initiative to build ancestral halls for them are all competent officials."

"This Fang Keqin has done a lot of practical things in spite of his crimes and meritorious deeds."

"Well……"

Su Che looked at the content of the report, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up.

"Building ancestral halls, holding sacrifices..."

"I can also build the ancestral hall of my great Ming heroes, and even build a martyr's wall, so that everyone can remember what they have done!"

Since ancient times, the major events of the country have been sacrifices and military affairs.

War and sacrifice are two very important things.

War, which determines the life and death of the country.

Sacrifice is also very important.

This is a question of ideology.

People in this world do not only pay attention to material things, but the level of consciousness is also very important.

Choosing the right sacrificial target can condense the unity of the nation to a great extent.

What is being sacrificed now?
Confucian sage.

Ancient sages.

The gods of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.

Sacrificing these things will also have an effect, but the effect is not so direct, because there are too many people offering sacrifices to them, and the previous dynasty sacrifices, and this dynasty also sacrifices, so the effect is not so good.

That being the case, why not change the target of the sacrifice?

The Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and restored China, such a great achievement, how could it not be sacrificed?

Su Che's ability to act is very strong, and he will do what he decides immediately.

At the court meeting this day, Su Che announced a new decree. He decided to offer sacrifices to the martyrs of the dynasty and those who made great contributions to the founding of the country.

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was filled with excitement.

All the ministers were blown away.

These days, there is a decree every three to five times, which makes these civil servants feel haggard and tossed enough. It's only a few days before this Anniversary, so come again? ?
Moreover, the ones His Majesty is going to sacrifice are those honorable warriors of this dynasty?

Why?

Based on these people, are they worthy of being compared with the sages and enjoy the vow power generated by the sacrifice together?
Where's the face!

Immediately, many ministers came forward to dissuade them, even if dissuasion would be punished, they still did not hesitate.

"Your Majesty, the ancient sages and the gods of mountains and rivers are all sacrificed by descendants... Now that those nobles are still alive, how can we worship them?"

"Your Majesty, offering sacrifices is a major national event, and it must not be decided so easily. Your Majesty, please think twice before acting."

"Your Majesty, how can you sacrifice yourself? Where does this come from?"

"Your Majesty, the nobles are already arrogant and indulgent. If you sacrifice to them again, there may be serious problems. I hope Your Majesty will consider this matter carefully."

Hearing the constant dissuasion from many courtiers, Su Che frowned impatiently. He stared at these civil servants, and said strangely: "The generals and soldiers are not the only ones I want to sacrifice. Civil servants will also be sacrificed. Why are you objecting so quickly?"

As soon as these words came out, many ministers looked at each other in blank dismay—huh?They also have a share? ?
It's a little embarrassing now.

They persuaded them too quickly, and at this time it was inevitable that they would suffer for themselves, and everyone was a little helpless, why did His Majesty still pant when he spoke, and he couldn't finish speaking in one breath, so they had to try their best to get back!

There are not a few ministers who can get into this position with thick skins. At this moment, many people coughed, changed the subject, and said again:

"Your Majesty, we were reckless. After thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible. Expel the Tartars and restore China. Such feats are of course worthy of sacrifice!"

"Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the mountains and rivers have been broken. For so many years, no one has been able to unify the mountains and rivers. It has never been done in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Such a feat can indeed be sacrificed."

There are also some thin-skinned people who blushed when they heard the two-faced words of their colleagues.

I refused before because it was not good for me, but when the benefit really came to me, it was different.

However, there is actually another problem here.

That is the question of dynastic legitimacy.

Since offering sacrifices to these people...

It was because of the expulsion of the Tartars.

What regime did Ming inherit?
This issue was discussed a long time ago.

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude at the beginning was very firm.

His regime is a complete Han regime.

It has nothing to do with the Yuan Dynasty.

After all, his family all died under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

Parents, four brothers, two sisters, three nephews, uncle and his four sons and seven grandsons are all dead, leaving only myself and a nephew.

Under such circumstances, would Zhu Yuanzhang recognize the rule of the Yuan Dynasty?
This is simply impossible.

but.

History books.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: I am originally a commoner in Huaiyou, when the violent soldiers suddenly arrived, I strayed into it.Since the Red Scarf Demon Bandit launched the chaos, many counties in the north and south fell, so the Ming Dynasty took them.

This set of sayings has also become a way for many people to attack Lao Zhu, saying that he described the people who rebelled with him as monsters and gangsters.

But in fact, this is just a set of rhetoric for the legitimacy of the regime.

In order to make the country's political power reasonable, Zhu Yuanzhang prepared several sets of rhetoric, and this is just one of them.

There are both pro-yuan and anti-yuan, which can be flexibly selected for different occasions.

The so-called "Great Yuan Shunmin" set is actually not used very often.

This set of sayings is more used on those recovered Yuan Dynasty old people and those Mongols.

Under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, not all the rebels were Han Chinese, there were also many Mongols.

In order to quickly recover these people and conquer these areas, this set of arguments is essential.

Besides.

The question of the succession of the country's ruling power is also a problem.

What dynasty did the Ming Dynasty inherit?

Zhu Yuanzhang recognized the regime of the Yuan Dynasty and inherited the regime of the Yuan Dynasty, so the matter of expelling the Tartars should not be excessively publicized.

Now a minister has brought up this issue again.

Where did the orthodoxy of Ming Dynasty come from?
Facing this question, Su Che just smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Didn't I already give you the answer?"

"Ah?" The courtier who asked this question was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't respond: "Has your Majesty answered?"

"That's right." Su Che said lightly: "I canonized the Kong family of the Southern Sect as Duke Wenxuan. Didn't I just tell you the answer?"

As soon as these words came out, many ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

They really did not expect that His Majesty would give such an answer!
Nan Kong conferred the title of Duke Wenxuan, and this title came from the conferment of the Tang Dynasty. That is to say, His Majesty believes that the Ming Dynasty's political power originated from the Tang Dynasty?

But the problem is, these eight poles can't be hit...

The span of time is simply too great.

Are you not afraid of pulling eggs if you pull so much?

Su Che glanced at these courtiers, what he meant was very straightforward, these matters are for you to consider, not for us to consider, if everything has to be considered by the emperor, then why are there so many ministers?

Su Che thought for a while, then continued: "Or inherit the power of the Han Dynasty! Then inherit the Han Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were completely paralyzed!
Is it so casual? ? !

Big man? ?
Forget about Datang, all the big guys are here?
When does that go back?
How many years have the big men been dead!
How is it possible to find anything traced back!
It's a chore.

Many ministers once suspected that it may be because His Majesty saw that they disliked Tang and found it difficult to trace back and find the connection between the two, so he gave a more difficult choice and asked them to choose the lesser of the two.

In fact, these ministers are narrow-minded. Su Che really didn't have this idea. He smiled and said slowly: "Why did I say that Ming inherited the power of the Han? It can be understood in this way."

"Since ancient times, the only ones who have won the country's righteousness are Han and Ming!"

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers in the court widened their eyes, and they all looked dumbfounded. What is the explanation for these words?
Even Zhu Biao who had been silent beside Su Che was stunned for a moment.

The only ones who win the country are Han and Ming!

These words are so domineering!

He directly ignored all other dynasties, thinking that they won the country improperly and were not worthy to be compared with Ming Dynasty.

Even Datang, who was going back just now, was incidentally discriminated against.

All the courtiers listened carefully to Su Che's speech.

I just heard Su Che slowly say: "What is the righteousness of the country? A common man rises up without the suspicion of relying on prestige, and eliminates violence for the people, without the intention of previewing the magic weapon. Therefore, since the first emperor, the only ones who have won the country's righteousness are Han and Ming."

There are several criteria for winning a country.

[-]. There is no suspicion of relying on prestige when a common man rises:
This means that the founding emperor must be born in commoner clothes, and the achievement of hegemony depends entirely on personal strength, and has nothing to do with family background and ancestral shadows.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was only the head of the pavilion in Sishui, Pei County before his fortune, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was born at the bottom of the society.

On the other hand, in the Qin, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, the founding emperors were either born in aristocrats, or in aristocratic families, or held important positions before seizing power.

Second, to eradicate violence for the people, there is no intention of previewing the magic weapon:
What this means is that the regime to be replaced must be a tyranny that has long lost popular support, and the original intention of the uprising is to overthrow corruption, eradicate tyranny and bring peace to the people, rather than to realize personal ambitions.

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, overthrew the unpopular rule of the Tyrant Qin Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, overthrew the rule of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty invaded by foreigners.

The other dynasties are not the same, or the purpose is impure, or the method is not correct, and the legitimacy cannot be compared with the Han and Ming dynasties.

In short, the Han and Ming dynasties met all the conditions for "being the most righteous country", while Qin, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan each had their own "wrongness".

After Su Che slowly explained his reasons, the breathing of many ministers in the hall became heavy!

This is a whole new way of saying it.

A more grandiose statement.

Previously.

In order to find the legitimacy of the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang took great pains.

Because the Yuan Dynasty was not recognized.

Then you have to admit the Song Dynasty.

But the Song Dynasty was used by Liu Futong and his gang.

Whether it was Liu Futong or Han Liner, they were all dead.

This matter is not easy to handle.

After thinking about it, I can only pinch my nose and admit the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty.

But in this way, the problem arises. Since the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty is recognized, aren't Zhu Yuanzhang and his group anti-thieves?
So after thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang finally came up with a "Dian Xing Blessing Theory" to solve the problem of the legitimacy of his dynasty.

The so-called Dianxing Blessed Theory.

It is also called "the first initiative must be condemned, and the palace will be prosperous".

Zhu Yuanzhang divided the uprising army since ancient times into Shoufan and Dianxing.

The first chaos is the first to cause trouble, and this group of people will be condemned by God. For example, Chen Sheng was the first to oppose the Qin Dynasty, and Liu Futong was the first to oppose the Yuan Dynasty.

And Liu Bang and himself are Dianxing, who joined halfway to save the people from fire and water.

——This is "Calamity returns to the first chaos, blessings prosper in the palace".

To put it bluntly, no matter how turbulent a dynasty is, as long as its status is not toppled, it cannot be said that the world is uncertain.

At this time, whoever dares to rebel, no matter what the reason is, will bring the world into chaos and must be condemned, and heaven will also send down punishment.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the Qin Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Anshi in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty, and the Red Turban Army in the Yuan Dynasty all took the lead in rebelling.

In short, regardless of whether you can survive or not, "first chaos" is bad!

The first batch of rebels will only be the pioneers of the king!
It is really not easy to find the flaws in Dianxing's theory of blessings.

This can be said to be a pretty genius idea.

However, this set of arguments is of no use at all.

If the Dianxing Youfu theory was really useful, Daming would not have had so many rebellions, nor would it have been wiped out.

This set of arguments will even be cheaper for the later Qing Dynasty.

Instead of using the so-called "Dian Xing Blessed Theory", it is better to use "the one who wins the country is only Han and Ming"!
This new set of sayings is even more beneficial and straightforward than inheriting the legal system of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that it has opened up a brand new legal inheritance!

At the same time, this also raised the legitimacy of Ming Dynasty to an unprecedented level!
