Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty Sacrifice
Zhu Biao suddenly stood up in excitement and couldn't help but pace back and forth in front of Han Du.
It was rare for Wang Yue to see the emperor being so excited, so he couldn't help but glance at Han Du. Where did his wild ideas come from?
Zhu Biao slowly stood up and sighed towards Han Du, "You are right. I am afraid no one can explain the blood feud between the Han and Mongolian people for so many years. But whether it is the Han people or the Mongolian people,
Enough blood has been shed. The hatred between each other should end with me."
"Okay! I promise you to sacrifice to Genghis Khan! In order to resolve the hatred between the Ming Dynasty and the former Yuan Dynasty."
Han Du immediately nodded and smiled. Whether you are a Ming person or a Meng Yuan person, living in this world is not easy. It is good to live in peace and stability. Why fight endlessly over some old grudges?
In the morning court the next day, Han Du attended according to Zhu Biao's order.
When Bai Guan saw Han Du standing inside Xungui, they all guessed what was going on.
Especially after Qi Tai entered the palace and saw Han Du, he secretly sneered at Han Du's figure.
When Zhu Biao sat on the dragon chair, Qi Tai couldn't wait to stand up.
"Your Majesty, yesterday Yushi Su impeached Han Du for offering sacrifices to Genghis Khan on the banks of the Onan River. Since Han Du is here today, why not ask him to confront Yu Shi Su?"
Su Yushi was originally the person arranged by Qi Tai. He wanted to kill Han Du by doing this now, but he just borrowed the help of the Yushi.
Han Du didn't wait for the censor to stand up, and said directly, "Go back to the emperor. There is no need to confront him. I have indeed done this."
"Ah~"
"I really did offer sacrifices."
In an instant, there was a burst of noise in the court. Even the neutral officials were very puzzled by Han Du's move. Why are you, a marquis of the Ming Dynasty, worshiping the emperor of the former Yuan Dynasty?
?
A trace of joy flashed in Qi Tai's eyes. He did not expect that Han Du would give in so easily. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, since Han Du admits it. As the Marquis of Zhenhai in the Ming Dynasty, he received the emperor's grace and received the imperial salary, but
I offer sacrifices to the former Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. I also ask the Emperor to take back the title of Han Du and let the Three Laws Division judge the crime to serve as a warning to others!"
This Qi Tai is really cruel! Not only does he want to take back his title, but he also wants to punish himself.
Han Du immediately said to Zhu Biao, "Your Majesty, I have a few questions to ask Mr. Qi, and I sincerely ask for your permission."
"Accurate!" Zhu Biao had already discussed it with Han Du, so naturally he would not be inaccurate.
Qi Tai snorted coldly, cupped his hands towards Zhu Biao and said, "I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but you are devoted to Xiang Yuan.
If we have different ways, we will not work together. I have nothing to say to you."
Han Du smiled and said, "Even if you want to accuse me, I should have the right to defend myself, right? What, you still say you don't dare?"
Qi Tai was furious, thinking that the evidence was irrefutable, and did not think that Han Du had the ability to reverse the case. He said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will let you die clearly. What do you want to ask?"
Han Du nodded slightly, and then said, "I would like to ask Master Qi, if I go to worship Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty when I pass by Shaanxi this time, is it okay?"
Qi Tai frowned. He knew that Han Du must be famous for asking this question, but he had no way to say no. Because almost everything in the Ming Dynasty followed the Tang system and highly respected everything in the Tang Dynasty. If he said no, then
Wouldn’t it be against Ming Dynasty’s following the Tang system?
"Of course this is okay."
"Since it is okay to offer sacrifices to Tang Taizong Li Shimin, why can't I offer sacrifices to Genghis Khan?" Han Du asked rhetorically.
Qi Tai suddenly became anxious, "How can this be the same? The Tang Dynasty is the orthodox of the Central Plains, and of course it can offer sacrifices. But the former Yuan Dynasty is"
Han Du immediately laughed, "Does Lord Qi think that the former Yuan Dynasty is not orthodox in the Central Plains?"
Qi Tai shut up instantly. He knew that Han Du had tricked him into the whole system again. The former Yuan Dynasty was the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. This was a fact established by the late emperor and no one could change it. If he objected to the fact that the former Yuan Dynasty was the orthodoxy of the Central Plains,
That would be tantamount to opposing the orthodox status inherited by the Ming Dynasty from the former Yuan Dynasty. Even if Qi Tai had a hundred hearts and a leopard's courage, he would not dare to say such a thing.
Han Du ignored him and went directly to Zhu Biao and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the border people and the Mongolian people in the grassland many times. They all suffered from the war and the pain of bloodshed. I thought that since the former Yuan Dynasty was also
The Central Plains are orthodox, and the Meng Yuan people are also orthodox people. The emperor is holy and virtuous, and has the world in mind. Naturally, he should bless the Meng Yuan people. I sincerely request the emperor to sacrifice to Genghis Khan to rectify the people of the world and eliminate the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian people.
evil!"
As Han Du's cadence of words spread throughout the hall, the eyes of some officials became brighter and brighter.
When Han Du finished speaking, these people immediately knelt down and shouted, "I sincerely ask the emperor to offer sacrifices to rectify the hearts of the world!"
Qi Tai suddenly became anxious and immediately stopped him loudly, "Your Majesty, please do not believe Han Du's words easily. Even if the Emperor sacrifices sacrifices to Genghis Khan, will the Meng Yuan people appreciate it? If the Meng Yuan people don't appreciate it, wouldn't it undermine the majesty of the Emperor?"
Harming the majesty of the Ming Dynasty? What are your intentions, Handu?"
Qi Tai's words also received slight nods of support from some officials. The Ming Dynasty claimed to be the lord of all nations. If it puts its hot face on the cold ass of the Meng Yuan people, it would indeed be detrimental to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.
I have to say that what Qi Tai pointed out is indeed a pain point.
Han Du lowered his eyes, and then said, "If we want to resolve the war, one of the Ming and Meng Yuan people must stand up first. If the Meng Yuan people don't appreciate it, then the Ming Dynasty has done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous, and has a clear conscience! After that, there will be war or peace, then
It’s also God’s will.”
Some officials also agreed with Han Du's words. If the Ming Dynasty had been benevolent and righteous, it would have been a huge improvement in the morale of the people, and it would not be without benefits.
Seeing that Qi Tai still wanted to object, Zhu Biao directly said loudly, "If it can defuse the war and save the people at the border from the suffering of the war, so what if I bow my head and offer sacrifices?"
Install the latest version.
"emperor"
"emperor"
All the officials looked at Zhu Biao one after another, and saw that he was fat and sitting on the dragon chair, but his aura was extremely calm. His face did not seem to be handsome, but he had extraordinary kindness.
Zhu Biao waved his hand directly, "I have made up my mind! Ministry of Rites, choose a good time and auspicious day, and I will sacrifice it myself!"
Chen Di hesitated for a moment, then bowed and replied, "I obey your order!"
The news that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was going to sacrifice Genghis Khan spread widely after he came to court. The soldiers and civilians who heard the news had mixed reactions.
Especially after learning that the emperor chose to perform sacrifices in order to resolve the war between Ming Dynasty and Meng Yuan Dynasty. Some people even secretly wiped their tears and secretly praised the emperor's kindness. Although these people may not have been to the border, they may not have
He personally fought on the grassland, but everyone knew that in war, people would die. Every person who died on the battlefield was someone's son or someone's husband.
After hearing this, the sergeants of the army knelt down silently towards the palace. They felt it more deeply than anyone else. Who said that fighting can make achievements, but at the same time, they have also seen too many life and death. In comparison, if they can avoid fighting,
I'm afraid no one wants to fight. As for making achievements, they are just self-comfort words when there is no other way.
There were also mixed reactions among the scholars.
In a restaurant, several scholars wearing plain white gowns sat together.
One of them cursed, "Your Majesty is confused. Our Ming Dynasty established the country by expelling the Tartars. How can we offer sacrifices to Genghis Khan?"
he
His words immediately attracted the echo of his companions, "That's right, I heard that it was that bitch Zhenhaihou who instigated the emperor. He is really a treacherous minister."
"Traitors and sycophants are in power, and we are scholars."
Before the person could finish speaking, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the side.
Several people looked together and saw several scholars sitting at the table next to them getting up and walking towards them.
"What do you guys mean by this? Why, are you all Han Du's hawks and dogs, and you can't see anyone upholding justice?" The scholars who scolded Han Du sneered.
The leading scholar stood in front of this man and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever been to the border? Have you seen the battle with the Mongolians? Do you know how many people at the border will die in the conflicts with the Mongolians every year? You are
Jiangnan people, right? Yes, anyway, you are thousands of miles away from the border. Even if Meng Yuan invades the border, it has nothing to do with you. Of course you can sit here and make nonsense. Maybe in your eyes, the soldiers who died at the border are nothing but
It's just 'poor bones by the Wuding River, just like people in a spring boudoir's dream'. But have you ever thought about it, they are all living people!"
The scholar's words made everyone in the restaurant fall silent, and they all felt the same sadness.
"Let me tell you, the emperor's move is a great act of benevolence. How can I allow a young person like you to slander it?"
The Jiangnan scholar's face turned red after being scolded, and he said angrily, "How much benefit have you received from that piece of shit Han Du, and yet you can speak for him so shamelessly?"
"You are a bitch, you are a bitch!" The scholar suddenly became angry and punched the opponent in the eye socket.
"Ah~ vulgar northern barbarian, I will fight with you!"
"Girls from Jiangnan, do you think grandpa is afraid of you?"
There was a crackling sound, and the people around them ducked away. Everyone could see that these fights were related to fame, and they were not something ordinary businessmen like them could afford. Even the shopkeepers did not dare to step forward to break up the fight.
For fear of being beaten together.
There were quite a few such disturbances in the capital, but most of them were not lunatics eager to fight, so the wind direction turned to the emperor's side.
Shanziying.
The three guards of Wu Liangha were already very familiar with Shanzi Camp, so after crossing the Yangtze River, Han Duben placed them in Shanzi Camp.
At this time, Azashili and others were also confused when they heard the news that the Ming Emperor was going to publicly worship Genghis Khan.
When Han Du offered sacrifices, Azashili and others were very moved, and they suddenly fell in love with Han Du. Now the Emperor of Ming Dynasty also wants to offer sacrifices. What is going on?
