Chapter 644: Serve the Country with Loyalty

Yunxi ordered the Minister of Rites to say: "Zheng Qing, ask the Ministry of Rites to make a national flag immediately. I want to see the Ming flag hanging on the flagpole in the palace and in front of all the government offices in the capital."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Yi agreed with the mentality of playing with young people in middle school. These ministers, who are basically in their forties, have also seen some young people in their twenties who think about strange things.

, and regarded Yunxi as such a person.

Yunxi didn't know what these middle-aged uncles were thinking, and continued: "Thirdly, the guards around me came up with a song a few days ago. I want all of you to listen to it. My Ming Dynasty's

Will the soldiers like it?"

After speaking, he motioned to a guard beside him. The guard stepped forward, saluted Yunxi and the officials present, and then sang: "

The smoke rises and the country looks north

The dragon rises, the horse roars, the sword air is like frost

My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River

Who can resist in fifteen years?

Hateful and mad, the sword is directed towards

How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in other places?

Why would you die to serve your family and country?

I can't bear to sigh and feel even more speechless and my eyes are filled with blood and tears.

The horse's hoof goes south and people look north

People look north, the grass is green and yellow dust is flying

I am willing to defend the land and restore the borders

Dignified China wants to make the Quartet

Come to congratulate"

The song that Yunxi came up with is of course the "Loyalty to the Country" by the Ming Dynasty. This song has a very main melody, is very high-spirited, and does not have any lyrics that transcend the times. Yunxi thought about it on the night of the 11th, and put some of the lyrics into it.

'Twenty years' was changed to 'fifteen years' to refer to the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang took it out fifteen years after he participated in the uprising and became emperor.

The guard Yunxi selected had a very good voice, which was comparable to that of the original singer Tu Honggang. Although he had heard him sing several times, Yunxi still liked it very much and almost became addicted to it.

Fortunately, he got rid of it immediately. While listening, Yunxi looked at the expressions of the officials in front of him.

However, the group of people in front of them were indeed people who were about to become masters in cultivation. All the civil servants and some military generals showed no expressions, but a few generals liked it quite a lot and even started humming while listening.

Yunxi felt relieved when he saw this. At least someone liked this song, so his efforts were not in vain.

After the song was sung once, Yunxi asked: "What do you think of this song?"

"Good! Very good!" Guo Zhen was the first to say: "Your Majesty, this song is very high-spirited. I can't help myself after listening to it. May I ask your Majesty, what is the name of this song?"

"Serve the country with loyalty and loyalty, I named it "Serve the Country with loyalty and loyalty." Yunxi said.

"Serve the country with loyalty?" Guo Zhen said again: "What a good name! Your Majesty chose a good name."

"Haha!" Yunxi laughed and said, "Guo Qing, you better stop praising me like this. I can't bear it anymore."

"I'm just telling the truth," Guo Zhen said again.

Yunxi continued to laugh. He didn't know whether Guo Zhen was telling the truth or a lie. Anyway, Guo Zhen always acted like he didn't have much city power in front of him. He was almost forty years old and still didn't have much city power. He didn't know if he was just pretending.

It's still true. But no matter what, Guo Zhen's flattery made Yunxi feel very comfortable, and he took it as Guo Zhen telling the truth.

After a while, Yunxi stopped laughing and said to Chen Xingshan and others: "Chen Qing, Zheng Qing, Xie Qing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the song is very high-spirited, but the lyrics are neither lyrics nor music, let alone poetry. This rhythm minister sounds very strange." Chen Xingshan said.

After all, Chen Xingshan was a literati. Most of the elegant songs of this era had lyrics, and there were also many popular songs from the Yuan Dynasty. However, both the lyrics and the Yuan music were very different from the rhythm of this song, and he couldn't accept it.

This is also what Yunxi expected. It is difficult for literati to accept new things. Ci poems were not popular in the Tang Dynasty and did not become popular until the Song Dynasty. Those written in the Tang and Song Dynasties were also despised, and in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties they became

Is it a major art form? Although it is still not popular with the mainstream.

Yunxi turned to the military commander who had no expression just now and said, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this song is high-spirited and expresses loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. It is very good. However, I think it is a shortcoming that it does not mention how to reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service. Your Majesty, the soldiers fought hard just to have a wife and a son.

?This song does not mention this, but the current military songs do. I think it is more motivating to the soldiers. So it is okay to let the soldiers sing, but it is not suitable to replace the current military songs.

It's feasible." Lan Zhen said.

"Really?" Yunxi said. As expected, nationalist countries are different from countries in the feudal era. It is not easy to fool people into going to the front line and dying for the country for free. In fact, it has not been until the era of nationalist countries that the people of the Eastern Chinese civilized countries, China

, people in Vietnam and North Korea are not too easy to fool, and the people will work hard only when they get real benefits; on the contrary, Westerners, whether they are Europeans or cannibals, are too easy to fool, and the rulers use illusory banners to

They can make ordinary people die for them.

Yunxi said: "In that case, let it be one of the songs sung by soldiers in daily life and not be replaced as a military song. Anyway, the lyrics of this song are not long and easy to understand, and it will not cost the soldiers much trouble.

.”

"Yes, Your Majesty." said Lan Zhen and other governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

"In this case, I have no other instructions. Except for Chen Xingshan, everyone should step aside." Yunxi said.

The others hurriedly put on their hats, bowed and left, but no one was curious about why Yunxi left Chen Xingshan alone.

In fact, everyone generally believes that the person Yunxi trusts the most is Chen Xingshan, not anyone else. Chen Xingshan also holds the official position of the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office. He has some military and administrative powers and military orders, and has not been touched for more than three years. He only

Only the people whom the emperor trusts most will get such an appointment. Therefore, it is not surprising that Yunxi alone has something to tell him.

However, Yunxi did not tell him anything immediately. Instead, he took out a gold collar and said to him: "Today is the full moon for Aiqing's third son. I will give this reward to Aiqing's eldest son."

"Your Majesty, my son cannot bear this. His Majesty already rewarded him when he was born. How can he receive another reward from your Majesty after the full moon?" Chen Xingshan declined.

"What's wrong with this? A birth is a birth, and a full moon is a full moon. How can we generalize?"

"But it's really not appropriate for me to push it directly into your hands." Yunxi shouted loudly: "Wang Xi."

"Your Majesty." Wang Xi immediately appeared in front of Yunxi.

"Send someone to deliver this gold collar to Chen Duanshi's official residence." Yunxi ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Xi stepped forward, took the collar from Yunxi's hand, and walked out of the palace.

"Here, Your Majesty, I thank you for your reward." Chen Xingshan said helplessly. His wife would never dare to refuse the emperor's reward, and she would never return it after he got home, so she could only thank him.
