Chapter 629 Can Confucianism and Taoism Be One?
The sound of golden drums moves, the carriages and horses are like clouds
Lin'an's middle-aged people were full of Imperial Street. Street-side merchants, incense tables, and countless people stood crowded along the long streets, leaving the Yuhang Gate for twenty or thirty miles westward. It seemed that millions of people in Lin'an had poured out and sent the king who had lived here for more than a hundred years.
The people of Lin'an are undoubtedly the happiest people in the world. The three hundred years of Song Dynasty tradition, in addition to raising scholars, they also preferentially treat the common people in the capital of goodness. After moving south, this unique preferential treatment under the feet of the emperor fell on the people of Lin'an.
Even if there were wars and wars everywhere, the lives of the people in the capital could still be maintained. Moreover, Jiangnan has been prosperous since ancient times, and after the Song Dynasty moved south, it has been carefully managed. It has built Lin'an into a place where people have been prosperous for a hundred years. Even in these more than 30 years of war, the people of Lin'an, at least they have lived in Lin'an for a long time, and have a middle-class family with property and industry, have lived a very leisurely life.
In the chaotic times, the people of the middle-class family in Lin'an naturally appreciate the kindness of the officials of the Song Dynasty. Although like other people in the capital, the people of Lin'an like to tell political jokes, even arrange them as priests, and do not have much awe of the Tian family. However, the kind of sincere support is beyond the reach of any place.
During the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, more than 100,000 people in Xingdu followed their lives and deaths, which can be seen in the hearts of Lin'an.
However, in order to avoid the Ming army that might have come from the sea, the Song Dynasty officials had to abandon the millions of supporters and moved to Hongdu Prefecture (Hongzhou) on the shore of Poyang Lake.
And today is the day when the emperor and all officials leave.
The millions of ordinary people who received the news spontaneously went to the streets, leaving tears to the Song Dynasty officials!
Because these Lin'an people are well-informed people, they naturally know how powerful the Northern Ming Dynasty is. They not only defeated Mongolia on land and restored the Central Plains. On the water, the Ming Navy was even more invincible!
The Yangtze River's natural chasm is not a problem for Beiming.
Now the official family is traveling far away to Hongdu to avoid enemies that may come from the sea.
But since ancient times, half of the south of the Yangtze River can rely on not only the rushing water of this river? When the Yangtze River was not enough to rely on, what else could the Song Dynasty, which had lived in the south of the Yangtze River for more than a hundred years?
Once the official family leaves, he is afraid that there will be no day to return to Lin'an. The powerful soldiers from the north will probably come to ravage the prosperous hometown in Jiangnan soon...
As soon as the emperor's car left the palace, the people on both sides of the Imperial Street couldn't help but burst into tears. First, they sobbed quietly, and then the crying became louder and louder. The entire Imperial Street was suddenly shrouded in a bitter wind and rain.
This time, it was considered a great escape. Not only did the official Zhao Hu, the Supreme Master Zhao Yun, the Rong King Zhao and Rui go away, the eunuchs, palace maids, all the craftsmen in the palace, the relatives and nobles in the royal family living in Lin'an, and the civil and military officials of the court. They all want to leave! Many of them have to take their family members and servants with them. In addition, there are 10,000 Gan Yongs who arrived in Lin'an in advance, and they will serve as guards along the way.
There were a lot of escaped people together, and there were no 100,000 or 80,000. The people started gathering in Chaotianmen the night before, and then the guards of Ganyong officers were responsible for forming teams. In addition to the Tian family, Taishang family and Rong Wang family, which were directly guarded by the squads in front of the palace, the Taishang family and the Rong Wang family, no matter what position the official position was, they had to be organized into a team of thousands of people, and then the Gan warriors were guarded by a hundred people. After following the Tian family, Taishang family and Rong Wang family, they set out for the first time.
This team, along with the dazzling emperor's flag, passed by, and cries rang out one after another, reaching the peak. But Zhao Feng just sat in the car with a blank expression, as if he knew nothing and heard nothing. The Supreme Emperor Zhao Yun, who was following the emperor's car. Zhao Yun heard the crying sound, but sighed helplessly, and felt even more regretful in his heart.
Moving around... It seems that it is not a good idea? The Zhao family is in Lin'an, and the people of Liangzhe still have a lot of weight. Lin'an is another strong city that has been built over the past hundred years. If you don't leave... you may not be able to rely on this heart and this city to fight Chen Dexing to the death!
Now, as soon as the emperor leaves, all officials leave. Most of the people in Lin'an and Liangzhe have gone? Once the people's hearts are gone, how long can Liangzhe and Lin'an last?
And Hongdu Prefecture... How much kindness has the Zhao family been received in the past three hundred years? Why did the great kindness be received? When the disaster was about to come, why did you die for the Song Dynasty?
After the Zhao family nobles, there were officials and relatives of the royal family and nobles, and they followed silently. Although the crying of the people on both sides was a little slow, the court officials sitting in the carriages and donkeys became even more frightened.
The reason is nothing special. Liangzhe (including later Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places) during the Southern Song Dynasty were not only economically developed, but also had a strong cultural heritage. There were many famous families who passed down from poetry and books. When the imperial examination competition was released, did not Zhejiang people account for half of the Jinshi? At present, at least half of the civil officials in the court were from Liangzhe!
Liangzhe is their hometown, their foundation! Now, they have left their hometown and abandoned their foundation. But can their hometown be separated, and the foundation can really be abandoned? What they can take away are just small families, and the entire clan has to stay in Zhejiang. What if the Ming army enters Zhejiang, what should their clan do?
Should I surrender or fight?
If they surrender, how can they gain a foothold in Hongdu? If they fight... they may be in danger of extermination?
When the migration was held, most of the officials in Lin'an thought it was good. They didn't have to fight against Ming in Lin'an. Hongdu was more than ten times safer than Lin'an. I really waited until the Ming army attacked Hongdu, and the Zhao family probably had no territory. What's the point of fighting?
But today I really quit my family and traveled far away, and everyone realized that this family was not so easy to part with.
Listening to the crying sounds on both sides of the street, these talented people who were once in the temple, as if they could determine the rise and fall of the world in words could only cry in panic.
...
"The most important thing is the day when I left the temple in a hurry, the church house still played the farewell song, shed tears to the palace maids..."
On the Yuhang Gate Tower, Liang Chongru, looking at the gradually moving away carriages and horses, dressed in Confucianism, had a few more vicissitudes left by time on his face, couldn't help but chant the words of the Later Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
He accompanied the Japanese envoy Hojo to Lin'an in real time ten days ago. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter the great escape of the Song monarch and ministers, and officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy fleeing. Who was interested in taking care of the Japanese envoys? So he appointed Jia Sidao, who stayed in Lin'an, to deal with the Japanese who thought it was a tribute, so he gave him a random gift and sent him to the back.
Unexpectedly, Japan has also started a riot of the Tendoism. The Japanese Tendoism actually seized Heian Kyo and held their emperor hostage. The Japanese ruling Kamakura Shogunate had to establish another emperor, hoping to contact the Song Dynasty...
This matter was a big deal, and Jia Sidao did not dare to give up casually, so he asked his confidant staff to serve as the senator of the Liangzhe Pacification and Control Department to meet and negotiate with Hojo in real time.
Today, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty left, and the talks were suspended for one day. Liao Yingzhong and Liang Chongru changed into the clothes of scholars and watched the emperor leave on the street, and sent them all the way to Yuhang Gate.
"Yi Fu, the Song Dynasty has not reached this point yet!" Liao Ying said this, but her brows were more important than Liang Chongru.
Liang Chongru smiled: "It's not that far, it will be almost done in two years."
He did not say this randomly, but after careful calculation, the scale of the Ming army's southern expedition would not be small, it was a battle to destroy the country! Moreover, the Song Dynasty, which had been established for three hundred years, was not enough to defeat the 300,000 regiments and train the army. He also had to occupy territory, suppress the literati and officials who were pro-Song, and also to support the local forces that were pro-Song.
Therefore, the preparations will definitely take a long time to do, and it will be almost impossible to fight after spring sowing tomorrow. It is estimated that the capture of Lin'an will be the second half of next year. It may take until the next year to capture Hongdu and destroy the Song Dynasty...
"It's not like this!" Liao Yingzhong shook his head, "The Song Dynasty has its own blessing, and the country's destiny will definitely last for a long time, and it is not impossible to surpass the Zhou Dynasty."
Liang Chongru sighed and whispered: "What are you thinking about for eight hundred years of foundation at this point?" He paused, "Qunyu, have you never thought about it for yourself? You seem to have a good relationship with Chen Junzhi and have also promoted the sage Chen."
Liao Yingzhong was stunned, "Fu Yi, what do you mean?"
Liang Chongru unfolded a folding fan and shook it gently, "In the past few years, I have been living in Japan. In addition to dealing with the monks and warriors in Japan, I have read the pre-Qin classics, Buddhist scriptures, novels written by Japanese people, and of course, the classics of the Heavenly Taoism of Saint Chen. I have read them clearly. I still have some experience."
"What are your experiences?"
Liang Chongru smiled and said, "This "Chen Li" is the current "Zhou Li". Chen Sheng inherited the Western Zhou Dynasty. What he did was a great thing that Confucius and Mencius thought but did not accomplish! Therefore, Chen Sheng can also be regarded as the saint of Confucianism."
"What!?" Liao Yingzhong glared at Liang Chongru with his eyes. "Yi Fu, what you said..."
Liang Chongru shook his fan and smiled and said, "The Kingdom of Japan is a country of warriors. He respects Buddhism and Confucianism and also respects the sword in his hand. However, I have been in Japan for many years. Judging from its customs and personalities, I know that the Japanese people are truly worshipped by the powerful people, whether they are ministers, warriors, monks or civilians. They will obey whoever are strong. The reason why the Japanese respect our China is all due to the battle at Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty. Now, Chen Ming is more prosperous than the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Beiyang cannon ships are anchored at all entrances in Japan every few days. Therefore, the Tiandaoism will flourish in Japan!
