Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to Tongling, and Wang Guangyang led Fu Youde and Ding Pulang to greet him.
Zhang Ximeng, the right prime minister, did not come.
Logically speaking, this is extremely disrespectful. What could be more important than welcoming the coach?
But I'm sorry, Zhang Ximeng dared to dovetail with Zhu Yuanzhang.
And Zhu Yuanzhang dared not to be angry... He didn't seem to notice, he just pulled Ding Pulang and Fu Youde and chatted with them for a long time.
Then Lao Zhu asked them to follow him to Tongling.
Is Zhu Ying leading his sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks? He is scratching his head, where is the big brother? Come and take a look at me. I have already led the troops. Do you think I am majestic?
He was anxious, but Gong Bosui became even more anxious, "Prime Minister Zhang must have done something amazing again. His progress is too fast. I boast that I have read poetry and books and studied three histories, but I really hope to catch up with Prime Minister Zhang... But before Prime Minister Zhang
The articles written at that time have already made me stand up and feel ashamed. Even today, I can only understand 80% of them. If Zhang Xiang could go further, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the ponytail!"
He was filled with emotion, but unexpectedly Zhu Ying rolled his eyes.
"You can catch up to 80% of my eldest brother? Why are you so shameless! You are not even qualified to carry his shoes... If you don't believe me, ask Lu Zhou and Lu Qiuyun, how many percent can they catch up?"
Gong Bo was scolded until his face turned red, and he could only cough to hide his embarrassment.
Lu Qiuyun said with longing on his face: "Fortunately, I met Zhang Xiang. Otherwise, my whole life's pursuit of Taoism would be just trying to catch fish from a tree, and I would go further and further down the wrong road... So in my heart, Zhang Xiang is the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty, and I silently burn a candle for him every day."
Stick incense, offer it devoutly, and bow sincerely. I just hope that one day of enlightenment, I can catch up with Zhang Xiangyi."
Lu Zhou was speechless for these three sycophants. Yes, including Zhu Ying, they were all sycophants.
"Zhang Xiang reads, writes, and educates people. This is his duty. There is no need to make a fuss. Everyone can become the most holy teacher of Dacheng in an industry... Just like me, now I can create Cai Jing's calligraphy
, I will be able to catch up with Su Dongpo in a few years, and when I can reach the level of Wang Xizhi, I will become a saint immediately."
"You have become a saint! But you don't know whether you are stealing a saint or stealing a saint?" Zhu Ying mercilessly complained about his old classmate, "Tell me about you. You are so focused on making lies, why can't you come up with something real?"
Lu Zhou snorted, "Common people! It's precisely because everyone in the world wants the truth that we have so many fakers. We also came into being! If everyone is not greedy, doesn't ask for extravagant things, and doesn't want to pick up the slack, I
Naturally, I washed my hands in the golden basin."
Gong Bosui looked at each other in disbelief, that's so damn reasonable.
Zhu Jiajun really has too many talents, and all of them speak well.
I just wonder if Zhu Ying will become crooked if she follows such a crowd of people?
It seems that these people haven't realized that, which normal person would be willing to get together with them?
It can only be said that it is a sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick, golden wind and jade dew, which are better than countless others in the world!
Everyone was chatting, laughing, and guessing. What on earth was Zhang Ximeng doing to delay welcoming Zhu Yuanzhang? If he couldn't make everyone's eyes shine, they would definitely laugh at him.
It is best to write it all down in a small notebook and treat it as Master Zhang’s dark history.
If Li Shanchang were here, I'm sure he would clap his hands happily and can't wait to see it.
While talking, Lao Zhu came to the military camp surrounded by civil and military personnel.
Coincidentally, Zhang Ximeng was also dressed in cloth with some white stone powder on it, as if he had just returned from the construction site.
"Sir, are you okay?" Lao Zhu said with a smile.
Zhang Ximeng felt the joking in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone, and hurriedly came over, bowed and saluted, "My lord, it was my impromptu decision to get something. I delayed welcoming my lord, and I would like to ask your lord to punish me."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Needless to say, we know in our hearts that when you taught us to read, you often went past the meal time, which also caused the princess to complain. When you are late today, it is definitely not a temporary decision, it must be a very important thing ...Take it out and open our eyes."
Zhang Ximeng's face was slightly red, but he couldn't say anything. He could only turn around and let two carriages come over. On the carriages, each tied a five-foot-high stone tablet.
There are actually writings on the stone tablet, which were obviously just carved.
One piece of paper reads: "Your salary is your salary, and the people are fat and the people are anointing you."
On another piece it says: It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully them!
These sixteen words, written in vermilion, reveal a murderous intent.
Others thought it was written by Zhang Ximeng and wanted to brag about it, but Zhu Sheng took two steps forward and took the initiative: "Shangshang, these sixteen characters originally came from "Issuing Orders" written by Meng Chang, the Emperor of Later Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. "Proverbs" is a warning to all officials. His original text is: It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully them. Providing public support is merit, and the military and state are assets. My reward will not be overdue. You will receive salary and salary, and the people will support the people. .”
Zhu Sheng added: "After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the government was in chaos and officials acted recklessly. Song Taizong selected sixteen characters from them, which is the one shown by Prime Minister Zhang, carved them on stones, and placed them at the door of the Yamen. Warning, so that all officials can understand the heart of heaven and treat the people well."
After Zhu Sheng's explanation, many people who didn't understand it came to understand.
It's him?
Although the words are good, they always feel a bit funny when they come out of Zhao Guangyi's mouth...especially the coquettish operation related to the Zhao family, which is exactly the same as these sixteen words.
So much so that when many people mention these sixteen words, they can only think of the Hongwu Emperor who was decisive in killing and governing officials with an iron fist!
Lao Zhu has practiced these sixteen words throughout his life. He used the bloody heads of hundreds of thousands of officials to warn everyone that whoever dares not to take the common people seriously, we will not take you seriously!
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, the life of the common people may not be the best in ancient times, but the officials are definitely the most miserable. Even in a world of war and strife, there would not be such a high rate of loss.
At this time, Zhang Ximeng dedicated these sixteen words to Lao Zhu, which hit Zhu Yuanzhang's heart all of a sudden.
He recited it several times silently, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, we accept this gift. You are not only giving us a gift, but you are also giving a wake-up call to all the officials! This gift is very good and timely!"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Master, please don't be busy. Rong Chen will explain a few words..." Zhang Ximeng focused on Zhu Sheng and said with a smile: "Mr. Fenglin, you just said the origin of these sixteen words. I think Please tell me, do these sixteen words make sense?"
Zhu Sheng chuckled, "Xiang Zhang is testing my knowledge. Although I also despise Song Taizong, these sixteen words are still good. He advocated them and spread them widely. They can be regarded as his achievements."
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Yes, that's what I thought at first... But I later discovered that this may not be right. The mistake lies in these four words. The common people are easy to abuse..."
Zhang Ximeng suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said loudly: "My lord, do you think your subordinates are easy to abuse?"
Lao Zhu was suddenly startled, suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but said: "Sure enough, I woke up the dreamer with a few words, and then we woke up... If the common people are prone to abuse, how could there be today's Red Turban uprising? How could it be possible?"
Is there a Chinese state of Wu? A few years ago, we and our brothers were not subordinates. If it were true that the subordinates were easy to abuse, we should all shut ourselves up and die in mourning and starvation. We definitely could not rise up and seize the country.
Southeast half wall!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were so impactful that people couldn't help but feel shocked.
As expected, he never forgets his original intention, and is several levels higher than the civil and military officials who gradually regard themselves as masters!
Zhang Ximeng had expected this. He smiled slightly and said, "My lord, the people are easy to abuse. This is Zhao Guangyi's pattern. In his eyes, the people are still not worth mentioning, as long as they are worthy of God. But in the case of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty,
But water can carry a boat and capsize it. The hearts of the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Only when the boat and water cooperate can the boat sail thousands of miles. Such a vision is already much better than that of Zhao Guangyi! The difference between the Han and Tang Dynasties may be this."
Everyone couldn't help but nod. Zhang Ximeng's speech was like a god's fart, it was extraordinary!
But Zhu Sheng said: "Xiang Zhang, a wise king and minister in the early Tang Dynasty, took Xunzi's famous saying and concluded that the king and the people are like boats and water. This is an extremely insightful statement. I would like to know if Zhang Xiang can go to the next level?
"
Zhang Ximeng repeatedly raised his hand and said, "Mr. Fenglin is putting me on the fire, but I will boldly express my humble opinion."
"The Qin Dynasty swept across Liuhe, how heroic it was! The second generation of the Qin Dynasty died as fast as a shooting star... The martial arts of the two Han Dynasties were the best in all dynasties, but they were ultimately defeated by the anger of the people. Green forests, red eyebrows, yellow scarves, four hundred years of Han Dynasty
The country was defeated at the hands of the common people. During the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, all nations came to court, but in the end they were defeated at the hands of Huang Chao. For three hundred years, the world was rained and blown away by the wind."
Zhang Ximeng talked eloquently and attracted everyone's attention.
"Zhao and Song Dynasty thought that raising scholars would last a long time. However, since the founding of Zhao and Song, civil upheavals have continued. Fangla and Yang Yao were all ordinary people. Although Zhao and Song died at the hands of barbarians, they also lost the support of the people first and changed.
It turned into a shabby house, and when it was kicked from the outside, it collapsed."
"Looking at today's Great Yuan Dynasty, it seems even more obvious! The Golden Family swept across the world, destroyed countless countries, and its territory was vast, far beyond the previous dynasties. The cavalry and powerful soldiers were invincible. Such a powerful Great Yuan Dynasty was ultimately defeated by the hands of the people! Peng Yingyu
As a monk, he travels north and south, recruiting heroes, and gathering people's hearts... Once he attacks, half of the wall is destroyed. With such power, who dares to underestimate him?"
Zhang Ximeng mentioned Monk Peng, and Ding Pulang in the crowd suddenly widened his eyes and his whole body started to tremble unconsciously.
Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, you are indeed amazing!
As long as I affirm these few words of Patriarch Peng, I will die without regrets.
Zheng Yuchun was also surprised that one of his suggestions was brought to this point by Zhang Ximeng. What else can he say besides admiration!
At this moment, Zhang Ximeng called to the soldiers and turned over the two stone tablets.
It turns out there are words on the back, the same sixteen words...
Every grain, every drop, is the strength of the people. Every joy and every anger, the hearts of the people are hard to deceive!
