Chapter 610 A "Chen Li" Governs the World
The sound of the piano rises up peacefully and centrally, making people feel like the spring breeze.
Outside the window, there was also spring, with green grass and flowers blooming, and the waves were rippling. More than a dozen men and women in Confucian clothes or Taoist robes sat in the flower hall of the lotus pond in Zhaoming Palace, with a solemn expression and quietly listening to Cui Yue'er playing the piano in the hall. Each of them looked pretty, with the fragrance of tea, and floating quietly in the flower hall.
Cui Yue'er's singing also sounded, elegant and beautiful: "Your clouds are rotten, and the sky is bright and the sky is bright and the stars are bright and bright. The sun and moon are bright and bright, and the sun and moon are bright and prosperous, and the stars are moving. The four seasons follow the scriptures, and all the surnames are sincere. When I discuss the joy, I match the spirit of the sky. When I move to the sages, I listen to them. I beat the drums and dance them. The essence has been exhausted, and I wear my clothes and go away..."
She sang an ancient poem "Qing Yun Song". According to legend, when Emperor Shun, who had retired, abdicated to the great-grandfather Dayu, talented and virtuous people sang this song together with Emperor Shun.
When Dayu controlled the flood and Chen Dexing controlled the enemy, he had the same skills as a co-worker, but the Emperor of the Zhao family refused to be Emperor Shun to abdicate the world to King Chen Daming.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Cui Yue'er looked faint, nodded slightly as a courtesy, and then retreated.
This time, all the heroes of the world or those who thought they were great heroes. Even Li Yu, who had been the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, came. Now the war in the north has basically come to an end. Guo Kan and Yang Axi's army occupied Jingzhao Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Pingliang Mansion, Gongchang Road and other places that were abandoned by the Mongols in early March. Two other armies commanded by Lu Hu and Liu also successively occupied Kaifeng Mansion, Henan Mansion (Luoyang), Nanyang Mansion, Guide Mansion and other places in March and early April. They also met with Xia Gui, who responded to Chen Dexing's Northern Expedition, and the two armies of Gundam met on Shuntian Road and Nanyang Mansion.
At this point, the Han area in the north has basically been restored. Although Chen Ming's direct control area is still small, he has taken over most of the strategic areas and symbolic big cities in the north. He is like the lord of the Central Plains.
Since ancient times, those who have won the Central Plains have the world!
Chen Dexing, who owned the Central Plains, was already qualified to be emperor and establish a country.
However, Chen Dexing has always been more thoughtful. Even if he is an emperor, he will make it unique. He refuses to make a few auspicious things casually, and then puts on a yellow robe. All officials persuade him to join the emperor and take the emperor as a benefactor.
Moreover, he always advocated the revival of rituals. When the emperor wanted to learn from Comrade Wu King Jifa, he would meet the princes in the world. He would first determine the rituals and music, and then accept the support of the princes to ascend the throne and become emperor. This would look more like a legal emperor rather than a traitor who usurped the throne.
This set of things was called the right thing in the world in ancient China! Is this the world obtained from the right way? Dayu controlled the flood, King Wu defeated Zhou, Emperor Shihuang unified the **, Emperor Gaozu of Han suppressed Qin and destroyed Chu, which were all considered to be the right way to win the world. The ancestor of the Zhao family, Chen Qiao, changed into a yellow robe, was a typical example of the wrong thing in the world. So after becoming the emperor, he was worried about this and that. Finally, he came up with a way to destroy his martial arts. Anyway, he was a turtle and did not provoke the barbarians? Who knew that in the end, the barbarians could get the Central Plains, and in history, he also caused a huge disaster in China!
Chen Dexing's world seemed to be extremely upright, and he won the barbarians and restored the Central Plains. His contributions were no less than King Wu of Zhou. However, he also had some injustice. He was a minister of the Song Dynasty and was also a traitor. He caused trouble in Lin'an and harmed the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, he could not expect that the stupid emperor of the Song Dynasty to abdicate himself, even if Zhao Hu was willing to give in, a group of Confucian ministers in the Song Dynasty would not give in at all. Now Lin'an is the time when the dynasty is full of all the courts and vows to protect the Song Dynasty!
Since the Song Dynasty refused to abdicate before the Jiazi year of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Ming had been using the Zhao Song reign title, which showed that Chen Ming regarded Zhao Song as the orthodox world, Chen Dexing could only use the method of uniting the princes and becoming heroes to gain orthodox status.
This is the same as the fact that before the founding of the Red Dynasty in later generations, it means to hold a political consultation meeting. However, Chen Dexing's version of the "Political Consultative Conference" also discusses the formulation of the highest code of conduct for the Chinese nation, "Chen Li". This matter seems more important than ascending the throne to be an emperor!
Because the Ming Dynasty established by Chen Dexing was not the Ming Dynasty that closed the door and locked the country by Zhu Yuanzhang. It was a Ming Dynasty that was determined to spread Chinese civilization all over the world and establish the world of China Datong was just like the Zhou Dynasty in the past.
If there was no "Chen Li" to distinguish between China and the world and educate all directions, then Chen Dexing could at most spread the Chinese genes, and there would not be a Chinese world where the world is harmonious.
In addition, "Chen Li" is also extremely valuable to the current Ming Dynasty. Because the Ming Dynasty has not yet established a direct rule force in various parts of China, warlords, princes and tyrants still exist in large numbers. Moreover, Chen Dexing does not intend to wipe out all of them, which belongs to China and can be used to explore the world!
Moreover, Chen Ming's model of ruling the world was different from previous dynasties. Chen Ming did not follow the route of centralization since the Qin Dynasty, but the Zhou-style decentralization and autonomy. Therefore, the process of establishing and consolidating rule in the local area was relatively complicated, and it was carried out at the same time as the vassal of sects and the support of gentry.
In this process, the role of "Chen Li" cannot be ignored.
Therefore, all the heroes who have been invited to Yanjing from thousands of miles away will discuss the content of "Chen Li" with Chen Dexing in this flower hall in the Imperial Garden of Zhaoming Palace every day.
Since this "Chen Li" is to be used to educate all mankind, Chen Dexing cannot work alone behind closed doors. It is still necessary to brainstorm.
Moreover, the third chapter of "The King, the King, the Minister and the Minister" in "Chen Li" is used to regulate the relationship between the king and the minister. This is directly related to the vital interests of various heroes. At present, "Chen Li" has drafted seven chapters.
The first article is the great harmony of the world. It talks about educating all mankind and establishing the lofty ideal of the Chinese world. Chen Dexing is ready to turn it into the ideal of the entire Chinese!
The second chapter is the only way of heaven. The religion we talk about is of course to place the way of heaven above all religions and establish its status as the state religion in China.
The third chapter is about the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. It talks about the relationship between the monarch and the order of the superior and inferior. It includes the relationship between the emperor and the monarch; the relationship between the emperor and the direct minister (subjects without fiefdom); the relationship between the monarch and the direct minister; the relationship between the emperor and the vassal (subjects who have fiefdom but have no country); the relationship between the monarch and the vassal; the relationship between the central and the local (direct or feudal); the relationship between the central and the vassal; the relationship between the monarch and the gentry; the relationship between the monarch and ordinary people, etc.
The fourth chapter is about father, son and son. It talks about the family order in the Chinese world. For example, how many wives a man can marry is of course limited and divided into hierarchies. The number is determined according to the ranking of the emperor, lord, vassal, straight minister, gentry (the lord belongs to the straight minister), commoners, serfs, and slaves. The most among them is the emperor, who can have up to thirty-six wives and concubines. In addition, inheritance of family property and serving parents are also the key points in the "father, father, son and son" chapter. The two principles of priority and responsibility of the eldest son Chen Dexing's idea is equality of rights and obligations!
The eldest son can inherit most of the family property and all fiefs and titles, but must bear corresponding obligations, including serving parents, taking care of younger and younger siblings, protecting the ancestral tombs and noble military service.
As for sons who do not have the qualifications for inheritance (titles and fiefdoms), they have much less responsibility to their parents and families. Their main responsibility is to spend money, work hard on their own careers, and establish their own families to ensure that the family inheritance can be maintained when the legitimate currents are weak. In fact, it is to encourage non-legitimate eldest sons to leave their parents and go to explore far away. This is the need for China to explore the world. If they are all staying at home and become filial sons, who will educate and liberate the people of the world?
The fifth article is about scholars, peasants, industry and commerce. This is about the people. First, it is about "equality of the four people" and "equality of the gentry". That is, as long as they are Chinese people and civilians, they are equal in any profession. Moreover, as long as they purchase the identity of gentry, they can be equal with the nobles and have the same rights (mainly the right to vote). Secondly, the principles of rights and obligations of the people, including gentry, are of course equal to the same rights. Civilians have less political and economic rights than nobles, and they have no right to vote and no farms. Then they have to bear less responsibilities than nobles, without compulsory military service, and they only need to pay taxes according to law.
While gentry has the right to vote and is equal to the nobles, they have the responsibility to pay more taxes. Therefore, gentry has a minimum tax limit, and the punishment for gentry evasion is heavier than that of civilians and geeks.
The sixth chapter is clothing, rituals and music. It is the head, foot, singing, speaking, and writing. It is very wide. However, it is also necessary! In fact, this is the education and brainwashing system in the Chinese world. The principles of homophones, writing, writing, common customs, clothing, etc. must be implemented most resolutely. All countries entering China must be Chinese in terms of language, writing, customs, clothing, etc.!
The seventh article is about education and education. This is to manage the education cause. Of course, compulsory education for all is the goal. However, it must be achieved in stages, first of all, education of aristocratic and elites, and then gradually popularized. And what is taught must be stipulated. Referring to the current courses of Tiandao Academy, mainly based on subjects such as Chinese culture, natural sciences, classics of Tiandao, military sports and handmade, a primary and secondary education system is established. Then, on this basis, higher and junior college education are developed.
It can be said that a "Chen Li" has seven chapters, which cover all aspects of Chinese civilization. This is a ritual that can rule the world! When I first heard that Chen Dexing wanted to "made rituals", all the heroes from the northern and southern dynasties were a little skeptical. The ritual and music system is the core of Chinese civilization. Isn't it just for so many people in the world to do this? Chen Dexing actually wanted to use his own strength to do things hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars who have not done well for thousands of years, and he is really overestimating himself.
But when they really read "Chen Li", they suddenly felt an epiphany. It turned out that the Chinese ritual and music system could be explained clearly in simple, clear and unambiguous language.
Once it is explained clearly, the ritual and music system will be operational. Chen Dexing's rituals can be implemented throughout the world.
Chapter completed!
