Chapter 207: Dragon Yu Returns to Heaven (Part 2)
Fang Xin'an sat on the throne of the Supreme Taizu. Even if he did not wear any dragon robe, the power of heaven, earth and man lies in his body, which is better than all clothing.
A mu of clear light shines, and the golden dragon appears on the top. In contrast, although the other two emperors are also wearing dragon robes, the dragon energy is like fireflies and bright moons.
Fang Xin glanced down and saw a man wearing the crown prince's clothes, but Li Changjun.
At that time, in the fifteenth year of Kaiping, the prince died of illness, and the grandson was only five years old. After considering some time, Fang Xin issued an order to re-appoint Li Ningwen as the prince, and the grandson was named King of Jinsha and the town of Jinsha Province.
And below, there were several descendants wearing royal clothes. They had no seats and had to stand, and they sighed in their hearts.
At this moment, a minister came out, but it was Fang Xin, the prime minister Chen Xuan, who was still wearing a duke's uniform, and bowed: "Your Majesty, will you return to the palace today to welcome Emperor Mingzong Long Yu to the sky?"
"Good, that's it. You have received my order to welcome Emperor Mingzong Long Yu to the sky." Fang Xin said lightly.
As soon as he said this, a golden light suddenly appeared on Chen Xuan's body, but it was protected by the spirit of the Emperor Tude, who was originally a man, but the spirit of the Emperor was also there, but it was hard to see that he was a Yin God at this time.
This emperor's spirit is actually a combination of heaven, earth and man. Therefore, the emperor's spirit is the best, but all laws can control the five elements, which actually represents the great power of heaven, earth and man.
Chen Xuan was overjoyed, bowed and accepted it, and went down to welcome Emperor Mingzong.
The whole hall calmed down again.
Wait for another half an hour, and suddenly in the hall, the golden bell and jade drum responded like this, and no one played it on his own!
Another golden light rushed straight into the hall, with a dragon roar faintly.
A smile that could only be perceived appeared at the corner of Fang Xin's mouth, and he said calmly: "All officials can come out to welcome Emperor Mingzong."
"I respectfully ordered you to welcome the emperor!"
The ministers greeted him and saw the imperial chariot rising slowly. Following the emperor's carriage, auspicious air hangs down. Amid the delicate drums and music, there was a ritual official singing:
"The great model stands in the world, longevity is long, and the long life is endless. The dragon carries back to the sky, the auspicious clouds shine, the treasure tripod curls and the smoke, the colorful etiquette guides the altar, enter the palace to celebrate the joy of Taizu, so that the eternal year..."
The ministers shouted and knelt down, but Emperor Mingzong left the imperial chariot, guided by Shen Xuan, walked to the hall. As soon as he entered, he saw a young man sitting upright on the throne, covering the entire hall with a mu of clear light.
Even though he doesn't look like alike, the essence of the dragon energy undoubtedly tells it that this is Emperor Taizu.
At this moment, Emperor Mingzong worshipped the audience and said, "Emperor Sun greets Taizu!"
Fang Xin stared down and saw at first glance that he was very satisfied. The dragon energy of Emperor Mingzong was gathered and the merits and colorful energy was faintly hidden. He immediately said: "Greetings to your father and mother, and ancestors!"
"Sun-son receives the order!" He paid homage to other people and then stood up. At this time, Fang Xin glanced at the civil and military officials below the steps, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone became calm, and he said, "Since that is the case, the prince will not say anything, and the emperor will be punished for his merits and demerits, and the history will talk about his duties."
"I accept the order!" Then someone came out.
At present, we will read the merits and demerits of Emperor Mingzong in public.
Dafan founded the country and the laws were established. After Emperor Mingzong ascended the throne, he treated all the kings and ministers very politely, especially the original prince and grandson King Jinsha.
Emperor Mingzong's younger brother, Prince Lanling, planned to send letters to King Jinsha in the name of others, and advised him to raise troops to win the world. King Jinsha thought for three days and escorted the envoys and letters that were sent to Kyoto and handed them over to Emperor Mingzong for investigation.
When the historian said this, Fang Xin spoke and said to the person below: "Changjun, your son is good, you can understand the general and not disrupt the country, so you will be blessed."
The prince Li Changjun was down and listened, his face was as heavy as water. At this time, he heard his father's praise and hurried forward to pay homage to him, saying, "The country is the most important, and personal honor and disgrace are the least. How can you mess with your own desires? This is the duty of your sons and others."
Fang Xin nodded and asked him to retreat. Prince Li Changjun retreated and looked at the nephew Emperor under the steps.
Although Emperor Mingzong was his nephew, he is now a monarch and minister. He has no blessings and has no consequences for the throne to affect his descendants. This difference is very big.
The historian continued to explain one by one.
In fact, Emperor Mingzong secretly found out that he suspected that Prince Lanling had arrived, but he had only ascended the throne. In order to avoid causing even greater commotion, he kept the case secretly and refused to release it.
In terms of personnel, Emperor Mingzong began to make adjustments to truly acquire power, either slow or urgent. Several ministers were all given away their titles and were sentenced to death. When the historian said this, Emperor Mingzong below could not help but change his color slightly, but Fang Xin had no expression on his face and just listened.
The historian was ruthless and continued in the voice of a tablet.
After rectifying the court's principles and gradually gaining power, Emperor Mingzong issued another edict to reduce punishments, take care of widows, widows, orphans, ease and promote social development. Moreover, the administration gradually became strict and disciplined, and supervised the lower-level officials and officials and officials, and they would scold them in person whenever they had any mistakes.
Four years later, Emperor Mingzong's status was stable, and he deprived the prince of Lanling and ordered him to move to Liulin County to resettle with the title of "the prince of Lanling recruited a desperate situation, fabricated prophecy, and planned to usurp the throne, and the evidence was confirmed."
The Prince of Lanling was halfway through the journey and was killed by the emperor, who claimed to have committed suicide due to fear of crime. This case involved many innocent people, more than a thousand people died, and even tens of thousands of people were killed.
Subsequently, according to the Taizu system, the Prince of Lanling was hereditary and not replaced by the Iron Hat King, and was transferred to the Prince of Louge.
When Emperor Mingzong heard this, his face changed color. If it weren't for the fact that it was already a yin god and had no sweat to shed, he would really have sweated and wet his clothes.
Later, Emperor Mingzong personally took charge of government affairs and asked about everything in detail. At that time, the rules and regulations were purified, the officials were strict, and the various policies were quite effective.
In the fourth year, the river was diverted and flooded. Emperor Mingzong ordered his minister Wu Jing to be responsible for the restructuring. The governance was completed in eleven years before and after, so that millions of people were healthy.
Hearing this, Fang Xin smiled.
Although Emperor Taizu had a strict control over the Manhu during his reign, Emperor Mingzong still strengthened his control and took a series of actions.
Emperor Mingzong advocated Confucianism, especially the Six Books of the Li family. He ordered the princes and princes, ministers and sons of meritorious officials to read this sutra.
When Emperor Mingzong was the crown prince, he learned from Liu Rong. After ascending the throne, he respected the teacher's etiquette.
In terms of agriculture, Emperor Mingzong also built a large-scale water conservancy project.
The system established by Emperor Taizu never changed significantly, which made him reign for twenty-one years and continued to develop social economy, and gradually, there was a prosperity that the previous dynasty did not have.
At this time, the Great Fan Dynasty entered a prosperous era after the thirty years of Taizu, the seventh years of Jingzong, and the twenty-fifty-nine years of Mingzong, and the world entered a prosperous era.
In the autumn of the 21st year of Ankang, Emperor Mingzong fell ill and died in the front hall at the age of 55. He ordered that "the funerals should be kept simple and no extravagances are allowed." The temple name "Mingzong", and the 29-year-old crown prince Li Guan ascended the throne and was the fourth emperor.
After these twenty-one days, Fang Xin said: "You are working hard for the emperor, but you are a good emperor. You deserve this word Ming, so you can sit down!"
Of course, it is not entirely due to Emperor Mingzong’s contribution to this prosperous era, but you can still bear it as a wise ruler.
Only then did Emperor Mingzong get up the stairs, and he stood on the throne with Emperor Jingzong.
The so-called final conclusion, Fang Xin said this as a summary of merits and demerits. A light of merit fell, and 60% of them fell on Emperor Mingzong, and the glory suddenly increased. One% fell on Emperor Jingzong, and another 30% fell on Fang Xin. Others were spread to everyone, or later.
When Taizu opened the dragon vein, he had to share part of the gains and losses in the future. This number was as many as tens of millions. After the division, Fang Xin also got three million. Fang Xin did not take these three million, but directly added them to the overall dragon energy to increase the large-scale energy.
When the ministers below met, they all paid a visit and said, "Your Majesty, with this wise king, long live the foundation."
Fang Xin smiled and said, "There is not even a thousand-year-old foundation in the world, let alone long live?"
"Your Majesty, your words are ominous." A minister came out to speak: "You have established a great model and the system is perfect. Emperor Jingzong and Emperor Mingzong are both wise rulers who are in charge of success. The world is gradually becoming prosperous. Not to mention that they are comparable to previous dynasties, all dynasties."
Fang Xin nodded while listening and sighed: "It's just that there are dragon veins. How many emperors have been there in previous dynasties?"
"When you go back to His Majesty Taizu, there are already 371 emperors."
"Those 371 emperors belong to the dragon veins, and how many veins are there more than five hundred years?"
As soon as these words were said, the ministers were in a mess.
Emperor Mingzong said at this time: "Emperor Taizu, I feel that although 371 emperors have not cured the situation of decline and demise, only someone will understand the people's sentiment, tremble, walk on thin ice, and correct the current ills, so that they can prolong their life. Sun Chen educated the prince and ordered him to travel, exempt money and grain, and repair river defense. These are all major policies of administration. They can not only train the crown prince, but also let him know the purpose of the people's hearts."
As soon as this sentence was said, Fang Xin smiled and said, "Okay, it's a wise king, it's a good thing."
He stood up, and walked away, saying, "However, you are still working on correcting the administration of officials. No one has any way to cure this administration. Among the 371 emperors, what has not been used? Maintaining integrity, culture and education, and explicit rewards and punishments are all positive methods. The secret report box, direct memorials, or appointing cruel officials and secret guards to investigate and investigate secretly, and the administration has also killed one group after another, and the administration has gradually become corrupt and irreversible."
Seeing the ministers and the emperors listening quietly, he said again: "The key to the destruction of the dynasty is space. This is divided into two types to illustrate."
"In the following, people regard food as the most important thing, and food depends on the land. The land remains unchanged, and the population is growing. When there are too many people and few lands, no matter how you can produce a wise ruler and work hard to govern, it will be useless."
"In the upper class, officials are the most important. Generally speaking, the dynasty has a long time, the number of titles and officials is more and more, and the descendants of noble families have reproduced. Not only does they expand, they absorb the fat and cream of the people, but they also make the upper level smaller and smaller. Aspiring and talented people cannot stretch, and there are more and more people who are not successful in their ambitions. Once the dynasty changes, these people are the backbone of rebellion."
This sentence was so incisive that the emperors and ministers were all moved.
Fang Xin suddenly stopped and said, "I have considered these things and laid the foundation. However, the rise and fall of the dynasty is actually the will of heaven and human affairs. Whether it can last forever depends on luck."
