Chapter 34 Shadow (2)

A drop of ink fell on the paper, and the palace was silent.

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the posthumous title he had already given Ling Han, and was filled with mixed feelings.

"When I was young, I studied in the Eastern Palace and was naughty and exaggerated but didn't like the saint's scriptures. I only practiced calligraphy, which was hard to be said. I also offered calligraphy in front of the Supreme Emperor to seek praise."

"In the 28th year of Hongwu, when the Emperor and Mr. Ling were having a banquet, the Emperor boasted to Mr. Ling's calligraphy. The other ministers praised me and showed great style. Only Mr. Ling carefully identified it and said that the words "The Emperor and the Grandson" were just like a figure, which was quickly formed!"

"The emperor's ancestor was furious, and the ministers in the hall were afraid and dared not speak, but Master Ling was not afraid at all. Let's say that one word is persistent in practicing the word, and one stroke is not a trick. Only in this way can one hone your mind and have hills and valleys in your heart!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu put down his pen and smiled bitterly, "Actually, what he said is right, my words have never been very good. I have no patience and perseverance. I always think about looking good on the surface, and never think about how to make the pen look elegant!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Hou Yong, "What else did Mr. Ling say when he was dying?"

"The old bachelor told his family to be a fan!" Hou Yong choked and said, "Don't disturb the place with great care! Don't spend extravagant money and useless money!"

"It's a true scholar!" Zhu Yunsheng sighed.

Then, he pondered for a long time and spoke, "Transfer the order!"

Xin Yande stepped forward, picked up his pen and ink and waited for the emperor's following.

"Since ancient times, we have suppressed the rebellion and used martial arts to govern the world. Therefore, the Minister of Personnel, Wenhua Hall, the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Guanglu Dafu, the Prince's Grand Tutor Ling Han, was born in troubled times when he was young, and did not seek to be prominent but to be at peace with the people. Then he supported the wise ruler and re-created China. In our Ming Dynasty, he was a good minister in the country, and the talent of the king and the king."

"He is knowledgeable and talented, and cultivates his spirit to be strong and powerful, respects what he has heard and is wise; he has a broad view of the legends of the book, but has been forgiven and has been unfair, and has been following the works of the beginning, which is almost jade and gold. He knows that he speaks himself and speaks himself, and is willing to be humble in his discussions of things than Lu Zhi."

"More family traditions are more honest and dignified, keep innocent in the world, keep high righteousness in the court, keep reputation in future generations, keep righteousness in the world!"

"I admire you so much that I have long admired you. The king's talent can be used to make great use, and I regret that the heavens will not be ready for the year. The gentleman's way is dark and clear, so I will discuss the world. If the Jiuyuan can be made, I can hear the news for thousands of years. Only the heroic spirit will be able to accept my orders. I can give it to the Grand Master. I will continue to be the same."

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu sighed again, "I will posthumously give it to the Prince's Taishi, and I will be worthy of the Taimiao!"

In fact, it is a bit reluctant to enjoy the Taimiao as Ling Han. But at this moment, except for this highest honor for the ministers, Zhu Yunqiu really couldn't find any other way to make up for the guilt in his heart.

If he had been a little more determined at the beginning and wouldn't let Ling Han return to his hometown, would this old man have lived for a few more years?

Did Ling Han also realize that he was disliked by the civil servants' group, so he retreated bravely?

"Xie Jin, Fang Xiaoru!"

"I'm here!"

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the two of them, "You are both talented people. I ordered you to write a merit monument for Master Ling!" As he said that, he looked at Zhu Gaochi, "Transfer the order to the old scholar's hometown local officials to build a merit archway to commemorate this good minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Abide by the order!"

After all the things were arranged, Zhu Yunxiu felt weak.

Wave your hand, "You all go down! I'll be quiet by myself!"

~~

Everyone left, and Zhu Yunyu was the only one left in the hall.

Then he slowly sat down by the window and gently opened Ling Han's legacy.

"The old minister bows to the emperor and sees the words as if they are faced."

"I am old, I know that there is not much time left. People in this world should not speak well in the temple, but the old minister can't let go of his obsessions after all, so please don't blame me!"

"There are three things that old ministers worry about!"

"The emperor wants to make a new law and want the government and the people in the world to be one, and there is no more exploitation of officials and gentry. This is a virtue. However, the emperor is young and energetic, and I am worried that the emperor is too anxious."

"Officials are officials, power is desire, and human desire is determined by heaven, and cannot be changed by human power! Even if the emperor's noble body is an enemy of the thousand-year old rules, and the power of officials and gentry will be eliminated, it will probably bring dissent to the dissent, and the praise and criticism will be mixed."

"The emperor is impatient and violent. If he wants to achieve success, he must use cruel officials. In the long run, all officials and gentry in the world will regard the emperor as enemies. I ask the emperor to do everything three or four later and slowly plan for it. The emperor is prosperous in spring and autumn, which is a late calculation!"

"Second, the vassals of the Ming Dynasty!"

"How can the emperor treat others with sincerity and be harsh on the royal family? When it comes to reducing the vassals, the old ministers know that the emperor has made plans for planning and planning. However, the world is unpredictable, the kings are unruly, and the emperor is young and energetic. If there is really a disobedience, will the emperor want to imitate Emperor Taizong of Tang?"

"Blood flows into a river by then, it will be a disaster for future generations and descendants! I hope the emperor cherishes it and think about it carefully!"

"Third, business!"

"Old ministers are not pedantic people. They know that business can enrich the country and strengthen the people, and sufficient treasury and the people have extra wealth, and can also revitalize all industries. People have their own jobs to maintain their own life."

"Of course, Shang is also a mess!"

"This way is the way of the human heart, and the etiquette is the norm. When I was in the temple, I heard that there were many workshops in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and the people in the city were often helped."

"When the steward is wealthy, the helpers will sleep day and night without sleeping, and the wages are too small, and they will compromise."

"There are also white-haired old men and thin boys in it, and they are overwhelmed with hard work."

"Help workers only have the reputation of the people, but no right to the people. If they become sick due to overwork, no one will ask for any questions. If they have accumulated resentment in their hearts for a long time, and local officials ignore them, there will be chaos in the people!"

"And if this continues, the world will pursue profits. There are workshops everywhere and no one in the countryside. It will inevitably cause low grain to hurt farmers, and manpower is not valuable. What the people have gained is all wealth."

"The way of governing the country wants to enrich the country and the people, but can the country and the people be strong? This is a fallacy. The people and the country and the country are strong. What is wealthy? It is not just a wealthy person. A family has land, a house, a house in front, a vegetable garden behind, a grain in the warehouse, and a place to support the elderly and have little to rely on to make them rich!"

Ling Han's remains are here, and his handwriting is already scattered and he can only barely identify it.

"The old minister first served Yuan and then Ming throughout his life. He was originally a traitor. However, the Yuan Dynasty lost its virtue and the world collapsed. My Ming Dynasty had virtue and won the world. The old minister, a scholar, was able to serve the wise ruler, and he was lucky in his three lives!"

"The Supreme Emperor and the people will rest first. The current emperor wants to eliminate the thousand-year-old bad habits and cheer up the country. My Ming Dynasty will definitely be one forever!"

"The emperor only likes diligent and pragmatic people, but he uses people as one way, and virtue is the first priority. Even if a person without virtue is brave enough to do things, he often only seeks results but not causes, and often uses any means. I personally think that such people can only be used for a moment, not for a lifetime!"

"I am old and I am talking nonsense. I hope the emperor thinks twice..."

The hall was still silent.

After watching it, Zhu Yunyu sat on the Arhat's bed with a lonely expression.

Ling Han's letter seems to have said three points, but in fact it has said a lot. From governing the country to employing people, from employing people to the value orientation of the entire country, we find hidden dangers in the prosperous times and remind Zhu Yun to protect the embankment.

"Oh!" Zhu Yunxi sighed.

Take care and carefully put Ling Han’s past memorials.

Outside the window, the afternoon sun is shining brightly, and the flowers are full of colorful flowers.
