Nine hundred and thirty-one water virtue
Once you put on a yellow robe, everything will become different from before.
This is beyond doubt.
From the moment Xiao Ruxun put on the yellow robe, he felt this world-class difference.
Simply put, as a commander in command, he can only use military laws to restrain his subordinates. Not only does he have a poor service, but his military laws can only manage the military, but he cannot manage the officials and everything needs to be negotiated.
However, once you become an emperor, the power named imperial power, which is composed of military, financial, human and noble prestige, will be unimpeded in this land, and no one dares to object.
After putting on the yellow robe, in addition to making three rules and regulations that prevent the capital from being destroyed, Xiao Ruxun also issued another order, and now the entire military camp is busy with this matter.
Change all red military flags to black flags. The soldiers’ military uniforms and uniforms that cannot be changed now cannot be changed, so they use black cloth scarves to wrap them around their collars, which means that they are Xiao Ruxun’s soldiers. This is the case with the entire army, even the Fire Head Army and the Transport Army.
The black flag contains the word "Qin" written on it.
On the surface, it seems that the Duke of Qin means, but what exactly does it mean? All the generals and close ministers understand Xiao Ruxun's meaning.
However, after understanding Xiao Ruxun’s meaning, someone expressed different opinions on this.
"I heard from Your Majesty that Shen Yiguan is in trouble and dismissal of the emperor. Now he is even more guilty of killing the king. The world is about to collapse. Your Majesty attacked Shen Yiguan to act in accordance with the heavens and to fight against the heavens, so as to avoid wars and connect the people to avoid the disaster. He is upright. Now the Ming Dynasty is not in power and can no longer rule the land of China. Your Majesty replaces it to follow the will of heaven. Therefore, I think it seems a bit inappropriate to use black as the color of patriots."
Chen Li, former Minister of Rites in Nanjing, was a group of people who were attracted to Han Zhuo. It is natural for him to raise this question with his professional orientation. Xiao Ruxun was not angry and said with a kind look: "With the theory of the five virtues, the Ming Dynasty is the virtue of fire, and I want to replace it with water virtue, so what's wrong?"
Chen Li slowly spoke, "The Ming Dynasty is the virtue of fire. If Your Majesty is the virtue of water, then water overcomes fire. It seems a little inappropriate? Why don't Your Majesty rule the world with the virtue of earth? This can also demonstrate Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness."
Chen Li means that your general should follow the trend when he became emperor on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. When he entered the capital, he would have to force the young emperor to abdicate. From Wang Mang that time on, the five virtues were in conflict and the five virtues were transformed into the five virtues. Rulers of all dynasties adopted a more gentle theory of mutual generation in the five virtues rather than the theory of mutual generation in order to show their orthodoxy.
Do we need some face?
Xiao Ruxun naturally understood what this means.
Before Wang Mang, in the eyes of the Han people, the changes in all dynasties were explained by the theory of the mutual restraint of the five virtues, which stipulated the virtues of the dynasty and determined the orthodox dynasty's rule.
Later, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and in order to show his orthodoxy, he accepted the more gentle theory of the five virtues of Liu Xiang and his son, and claimed that his dynasty was born from the Han Dynasty and was better than the Han Dynasty. He replaced it with natural meaning, but it was useless and was quickly overthrown.
However, this statement is considered by the society under the prevailing Confucianism of China as a good fig leaf. They want face, identity, and dignity. Even if they steal other people's foundation, they cannot clearly say that I snatched it, but if they say that I took it according to God's will, they gave it to me, and I have to say that I snatched it.
This sounds nice.
This method continued until the Mongol Yuan conquered the Song Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion overthrow of the Mongolian Yuan was a replacement on another level.
Lao Zhu hated Confucian scholars and was not happy with those things that were empty and stupid. In addition, the Mongolian Yuan was a foreign regime, Lao Zhu thought it was natural for me to overthrow it, and there was nothing to say, so he adopted the theory of the five virtues and mutual restraint, replacing the gold of the Mongolian Yuan with fire.
But Xiao Ruxun's situation is different now. He cannot be widely publicized by wearing a yellow robe. He can only say that after entering the capital, he forced the emperor to issue abdication edict. This would be replaced by the scope of the scope. It is more legitimate to establish the virtues of the new dynasty by the theory of the mutual generation of the five virtues, right?
At least in the future, the historical view will not make up random things when writing historical books.
What's more, the word "Qin" that the Confucians dislike the most is the word "Qin". Everyone knows that the Confucians and Qin do not call each other. Qin let the Legal family take charge of the rule, and the Confucians became a wild verbal cannibal. They were depressed and unsuccessful. Can they like Qin?
Chen Li naturally didn't know that Xiao Ruxun was not interested in this out of his heart.
Xiao Ruxun likes Qin very much, and in all senses likes what is contained in the word "Qin".
And the biggest obstacle no longer exists, and whatever virtue he wants is what virtue he wants.
"Mr. Chen is such a bad statement."
Zhou Yao suddenly stepped out of the line and said, "The Ming Dynasty was stolen by rebellion. The emperor became a puppet. It was actually Shen Yiguan who was in power and acted recklessly. The general attacked Shen Yiguan. The Ming Dynasty had no life under the rampage of Shen Yiguan. If you take the virtue of the earth, don't know if the new dynasty was born from the Ming Dynasty or Shen Yiguan? Could it be that if this new dynasty was born from the rebellion?"
Chen Li's eyes widened.
Why do you open your eyes and tell lies?
Shen Yiguan did not overthrow the Ming Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, so how could this be said? Can he replace the Ming Dynasty's fire virtue alone?
What a joke?
Chen Li said with a look of surprise: "How can you say this? I..."
"This is very reasonable! Your Majesty, I think your Majesty is in charge of rebellion and kill Shen Yiguan, establish a new dynasty in a ruin, defeat the enemy and win, and take the virtue of water, not earth! To show that our Qin Dynasty defeats all rebellions in the world!"
Han Zhuo suddenly interrupted Chen Li's words. Chen Li looked at Han Zhuo, who was talking nonsense with surprise, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He did not continue to say that because everyone left the list next time, they all agreed with Xiao Ruxun's suggestion to define the new dynasty as Shui De.
Everyone is smart. At this time, you are sing the opposite tune with the emperor who just decided to become emperor. What are you doing?
Now our new emperor is clearly not planning a peaceful solution!
He wants to attack the city and build a new country on the ruins!
What are you thinking?
Han Zhuo glared at Chen Li fiercely.
"Hahahaha, okay, since that's the case, then that's it. You guys, it's time to prepare to attack the city. The new dynasty must have a new atmosphere. It's December 25, 26th year of Wanli, and there are six days left to be the New Year. I hope that when the New Year comes, the new dynasty will be born like the beginning of the morning sun, and then, we will celebrate the New Year together in the capital."
Xiao Ruxun said so.
Everyone understands that our new emperor decided to clean up the capital before this year, and then ascend the throne in the capital as the New Year approaches, announce the world, and change the era to announce the birth of the Qin Dynasty.
After the meeting ended, Chen Li followed Han Zhuo back to his tent.
"Shujie, why do you stop me? Shouldn't the New Dynasty take the virtue of earth? Water overcomes fire. Isn't this clear that we are rebelling and usurping the throne and reincarnating? How do you let the people of the world view the New Dynasty? How do you view us?"
"Isn't it?"
Han Zhuo stared at Chen Li: "Do you think our Majesty chose Qin as the national name just because he was named Duke of Qin? If he cared about this matter, he would not have chosen Qin as the national name at all!"
“Isn’t it?”
This time it was Monk Chen Li and the second monk who was confused.
"You are so stupid and bold! You don't think about anything else at all. No wonder I agreed as soon as I advise you. You didn't think about so much about feelings, right?"
"How could I not think so much? What are the benefits of staying in Nanjing as a loyal minister? It's just a idle official until I'm old. It's better to follow the capital to fight. It's not better now. We are all founding heroes!"
Chen Li whispered: "Isn't this the most important thing?"
"It's important, but you have to figure out that our Majesty has just decided to ascend the throne. Now is the time to establish prestige. No matter what happens, you can't oppose it, but you can't insist on it. If Your Majesty insists on his opinion, you can't continue to argue, do you understand?"
Han Zhuo looked angry and refused to fight.
Chen Li hesitated and nodded, saying that he would not continue to persevere.
Chapter completed!
