At this time, Wu Yuchao interrupted Luo Guanzhong and said, "No, Han Gao got the throne by conquering Wu Dao and punishing Qin. Cao Cao's son usurped the throne and got the throne. How are the two the same?"
Luo Guanzhong said: "The Second Emperor of Qin was a foolish emperor without moral principles, so Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was a wise and wise king with moral principles? If he was really a wise and wise king with moral principles, how could he let Cao Pi take the throne?"
Wu Yuchao muttered: "This..."
According to the traditional theory of ancient China, since he is a virtuous emperor, he will definitely not be ousted from the throne. Those who are robbed from the throne must be an unrighteous emperor.
In ancient China, it was possible to admit that the last emperor of a dynasty was not a coward. There was only one situation, that is, before the emperor succeeded to the throne, there was already a conflict between the two countries, and then a certain country was destroyed. In this way, it can be considered that the last emperor was not a coward.
Faint emperors, such as Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, and King Qian Shu of Wuyue. However, such emperors are also often considered to be Faint emperors, such as the last emperors of other countries during the Five Dynasties period.
So since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was not a good emperor, it was not a sin for Cao Wei to replace him on the throne.
When Luo Guanzhong saw that Wu Yuchao had stopped talking, he continued: "During the Western Jin Dynasty, Cao Wei was regarded as the orthodox one because the throne of the Jin Dynasty was abdicated by Cao Wei, so Cao Wei must be regarded as the orthodox one."
"After Yi Guan traveled south, some people mentioned Shu Han as the orthodox one. This was because Cao Wei's hometown in the north was lost, and Shu Han founded the country in the south, so Shu Han was mentioned as orthodox. However, because the throne of the Sima family was abdicated by Cao Wei, there was no
Conclusion.”
"In the following Southern Dynasties, it was the same, so Shu Han was regarded as the orthodox one."
"The Sui Dynasty started in the north and settled in Shu, just like Cao Wei, so Cao Wei was regarded as the orthodoxy; the subsequent Li and Tang Dynasties had no final conclusion on this."
"At the time of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, because Taizu of the Song Dynasty abdicated the throne of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the south was undecided when the Zhao and Song Dynasties were first established, just like the Cao Wei Dynasty, so the Cao Wei Dynasty was regarded as the orthodox one."
"Afterwards, Song Gaozong moved south to Lin'an and lost the Central Plains. In order to prove that he was orthodox, he promoted Shu Han as orthodox."
"There is no final conclusion on this in the former Yuan Dynasty, but the public opinion between the government and the public regards Cao Wei as orthodox."
"When it comes to this dynasty, Taizu used his wisdom and martial skills to pacify the Central Plains in seventeen years; and since Bu Yi is the emperor, it doesn't matter which of the three kingdoms is respected as the orthodox one."
"However, this dynasty mainly deals with the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and among the three kingdoms, only Cao Wei once attacked the Xiongnu in the north, which is similar to this dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Taizu did not object to Cao Wei as the orthodoxy."
"Today, Your Majesty, enfeoffment has begun again, and the remote areas are all feudal states. Cao Wei occupies the Central Plains, and your Majesty has not enfeoffed the Central Plains. Taking Cao Wei as the orthodox one can show that those who occupy the Central Plains are orthodox, and prevent these feudal states from claiming to be orthodox."
At this time Luo Guanzhong stopped and took a drink of water.
Wu Yuchao sighed: "I used to read a lot of history books, but I have never thought about these things like this. It seems that I am just a follower of others."
Luo Guanzhong smiled and said: "Don't be too busy praising me, there is more."
Wu Yuchao said in surprise: "Anything else to say?"
Luo Guanzhong said: "Exactly. In the Wu Yu Dynasty, although we were just storytellers before, we are also people who have read history books. Have you ever noticed that in the third year of Taihe (229 AD), when Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty became emperor, Zhuge Liang
As the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, he proposed the idea of 'two emperors being respected together'?"
Wu Yuchao said: "Of course I remember. Ah, I understand. As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. How can there be two emperors in the world? And since then, the Shu Han has always recognized Dongwu as the emperor. If the Shu Han is regarded as orthodox
, so is Soochow recognized as the emperor by Shu Han orthodox? So Shu Han cannot be regarded as orthodox."
Luo Guanzhong said: "That's the truth."
Wu Yuchao said: "I understand. And I also know who this noble young master is."
Luo Guanzhong said in surprise: "You know?"
Wu Yuchao smiled and said: "Yes, I already know." Then he picked up the pen and wrote a word on the palm of his hand, and then showed it to Luo Guanzhong to see.
Luo Guanzhong took a look and saw that it was indeed the character "祥", but there was a horizontal line missing in half of the word "通", indicating the lack of taboo.
Luo Guanzhong said: "Old friend, you are really smart. You actually guessed it through just a few words of mine."
Wu Yuchao said: "When you said, 'Now the Holy Emperor has started enfeoffment again,' I knew it must be this one. Which other clan would be so considerate of the imperial court? And he is also of the right age."
Luo Guanzhong said: "Although you have guessed it, don't say too much. Just know it yourself and don't make it public. This young master is not a publicity person."
Wu Yuchao said: "I know. When I go back to compete with them for work, I must take over the job of writing the play about Emperor Taizu saving the people."
Then he said to Luo Guanzhong: "You are already like this, don't fight with me."
Luo Guanzhong smiled and said: "I know, I am already sixty-four years old, how can I still have your ambition for fame and fortune? Just rest assured."
Wu Yuchao thought that this was indeed the case, so he left and went back to get some work. Luo Guanzhong was left shaking his head and continuing to write what he was writing before he came.
===============================================
When Yunxi came out of the large courtyard where these literary figures were housed, he felt that it had been a long time since he had walked freely among the people, so he decided to take a walk among the people today so that he could know how the people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty lived.
But of course Yunxi would not relax his own safety. He was surrounded by more than a dozen guards in front and behind, and the guards on both sides were always ready to block Yunxi's arrows in case someone shot an arrow, and they would never join in the fun in a crowded place.
As soon as everyone saw their formation, they knew that there were numerous nobles or princes, all of whom were hiding away.
After walking a few steps, they passed by the alley of Jiaofangsi in the Ming Dynasty.
Yunxi looked at the Jiaofang Secretary. In fact, he had the desire to go in and find out. It wasn't that he wanted to commit suicide, he was just curious. There were countless maids in the palace who could be overthrown at any time if he wanted. He didn't believe in these prostitutes here.
The quality is higher than the average in the palace. There may be some outstanding ones, but they are all rare.
He mainly wanted to know how brothels operated in ancient times, so when he was the prince, he wandered around the Qinhuai River area.
But he was dragged back by his bodyguards. If Zhu Yuanzhang had known about Yunxi entering the brothel at that time, they would probably be beheaded; and Yunxi's reputation would not be good. So Yunxi later gave up.
At this time, Yunxi just looked at the gate from a distance, and then left.
It was so hot in the summer that it wasn't obvious inside the house, but after walking outside for a while, the group was covered in sweat.
Especially Yunxi, he may have been pampered a little over the years, and he was covered in sweat.
At this time, Yang Feng saw a small shop on the roadside where he had eaten before. He quickly turned to Yunxi and said: "Sir, after walking for a while, why not try the food in this shop here? I am here
The food I had was pretty good.”
"And it's not lunch time now, and there aren't many people."
Yunxi really didn’t want to leave anymore, but he had to finish this journey no matter what, otherwise it would be a slap in the face. Yang Feng suggested eating something and resting before leaving, which was exactly what he wanted, so Yunxi
Said: "Okay, then I will try the food here."
As a group of people walked in and walked out, Yang Feng shouted: "Store owner!"
The boss immediately came over, recognized this general who had eaten here before, and said, "Master Qianshi, why do you come to my place to eat sometimes now?"
Yang Feng said: "I have something to do in the evening, so I'm going to eat now. Bring up all the eight dishes you are good at. My brothers will all have a try." Since it is in the name of eating, we have to eat something.
Of course the boss was happy. There was such a big business at a time when there shouldn't have been much business. There were two tables full of guests. He smiled and said, "The little one is cooking for a few adults." Then he went down.
Not long after, one dish was served, and then at intervals of half a stick of incense, the dishes were served to both tables at the same time, so that after three and a half sticks of incense, all eight dishes were served.
Then Yang Feng ordered another cold dish and a soup, enough for ten dishes, and then everyone started eating. After tasting it, Yunxi said: "It's really good."
All the guards had eaten a certain dish before Yunxi, so some of them agreed: "Not bad, it's really good."
Yunxi asked the boss: "What is your name?"
The boss said: "My surname is Jin and my name is Chengzhu. I have been from the capital for generations, and my family has been cooking here for several generations."
Yunxi was moved in his heart and said, "If I ask you to cook and open a restaurant in another place in the future, would you be willing?"
The boss said: "It depends on whether I can make money. If I can earn more than here, I will definitely be willing to do it. Why, what's so good about the guest? Isn't it because the guest wants to invite me to work as a chef in the guest's home?
.”
Yunxi smiled and said, "Will you be my chef?"
Boss Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course I don't want to."
"Why don't you want to?"
"The young master looks like he belongs to a big family. Big families have strict rules. We, from a small family, are afraid of accidentally violating the rules."
Well, Zhu Yuanzhang reigned for several years and severely clarified the officialdom. At least no one in the capital dared to bully these small traders; if it had been the late Ming Dynasty in history, Boss Jin's answer would probably have been different.
Yunxi didn't speak any more.
Then they finished their meal, and Yunxi asked Yang Feng to pay the bill and planned to leave.
At this time, the guard Li Bo said: "Sir, someone is staring at you over there."
Yunxi didn't pay attention at first, and said, "They must be from some distinguished family. They recognized me. Go over and tell them not to talk nonsense."
But Li Bo said: "I don't recognize them, not even one of them. And more than a dozen of them are all practitioners."
"Huh?" Yunxi heard Li Bo's words and turned around to look at the other guards. The other guards also shook their heads to express disapproval.
Yunxi became alert and said, "Li Bo, take someone to meet them!"
