Chapter 25 Sitting and talking about the Tao (2)
Qian Sule asked with a grin, "Wu Zheng, anyone can say big talk. But the inheritance of the country emphasizes orthodoxy. As the saying goes, there is no day, and there is no two masters in the people. There is one emperor in the north and south, and one governor in the country, and two orders are ordered to leave. How can we command the world?"
Wu Zheng responded: "Which Lord Qian said, Wu Zheng dared not agree. Orthodox? What is orthodox? Taizu established the Ming Dynasty and was passed down to Emperor Jianwen, which can be said to be orthodox. However, Chengzu of Ming Dynasty was able to ascend the throne to the emperor for thousands of years, and the Ming Dynasty has been in the country for more than 200 years. Is it true that the Han people have lost their inheritance except the Ming Dynasty? Or, except for the Zhu surname, the Han people are not orthodox?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them changed their expressions.
Qian Sule shouted angrily: "Bold! You are a big rebellious word."
Wu Zheng was willing to go out of his way. He looked at Qian Sule and retorted: "Mr. Qian just ridiculed Wu Zheng and only learned to pretend. Now I tell the truth, but I put the hat of a big rebellion on my head. Is this a rebellion?"
Qian Sule was stunned. At this time, Zhang Guowei said, "The capital of the country has been destroyed. Lord Qian cannot tell the truth. Judging from what Lord Qian said before, it is suspected that Xuzhou officials set fire."
Speaking of this, Zhang Guowei turned to Wu Zheng and said, "Wu Zheng, just let go of your courage and say that in my husband's house, you can say anything, but if something happens, I will bear it."
Wu Zheng replied: "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for speaking out for his righteousness."
Zhang Huangyan said: "Today I am just sitting and discussing the truth. Only four of us are heard. You just say it boldly. Lord Qian is just worried about you, not really punishing you."
Wu Zheng nodded, looked at Qian Sule, and saw that he was silent, so he continued: "From the time when Qin Shihuang became emperor, except for the Mongol Yuan, the world has Han people ruled, Ying Qin, Liu Han, Cao Wei, Sun Wu, Sima Jin, Zhao Song... How many surnames have the emperors changed? Can hundreds of families have they been named? From this, we can see that this world is the world of Han people. Wu Zheng believed that Han people are the true orthodox. As long as Han people become emperors, they are orthodox. But now, when the Qing Dynasty goes south and the Han people are not protected, it is naturally all Han people who unite to resist the foreign races. Why bother to be orthodox?"
Zhang Guowei didn't say anything, he was thinking.
Zhang Huangyan's eyes flashed and he looked at Wu Zheng.
Qian Sule said: "It's ridiculous! According to your opinion, we assisted King Lu and tried to restore the Ming Dynasty. However, because we did not submit to the Longwu Dynasty, it became a joke and a sin? Or, all Han people in the world can stand on their own and no longer have to support the royal family of Zhu?"
Wu Zheng looked at Qian Sule calmly and said, "Mr. Qian misinterpreted Wu Zheng's meaning. Now that the mountains and rivers are broken, the hearts of the world are like scattered sand, and a heart-wrenching flag is needed. The Ming Dynasty royal family is this anti-Qing flag. People's hearts are clear, how can they say this is a joke? Wu Zheng believes that there is no banner that can unite the hearts of the world more than the Ming Dynasty royal family."
Qian Sule suddenly said: "Your meaning is nothing more than using the Ming Dynasty royal family to fight against the Qing Dynasty. But after the matter is completed, it will no longer be clear. It is another matter, because in your heart, as long as you are a Han Chinese, you can be the emperor. Didn't Qian say it wrong this time?"
Wu Zheng was stared at by the three of them and became cramped.
Ask yourself, Wu Zheng really had this idea in his heart based on his understanding from later generations.
But Wu Zheng knew very well that it was one thing, but whether to admit it or not was another.
This matter will be beaten to death and cannot be recognized.
"Mr. Qian is still wrong." Wu Zheng's face was calm, "With the Ming Dynasty's banner against the Qing Dynasty, after the success, he will naturally be the Ming Dynasty. What Wu Zheng said above is all about Lord Qian's words about the court's struggle for orthodoxy between Emperor Longwu of Fuzhou."
This is true. Wu Zheng's words began when Qian Sule asked Lu Jianguo who was orthodox or Emperor Longwu.
Qian Sule questioned Wu Zheng, saying that there is no day and no two rulers in the people. It should be clear who is the orthodox country of Lu or Emperor Longwu and who will be in charge of the affairs.
Wu Zheng answered this conclusion that it doesn’t matter who is orthodox, and all Han people in the world are orthodox.
But when the three of them sat down, they all understood the true meaning of Wu Zheng's words, which was what Qian Sule questioned before, and used the Ming Dynasty royal family to fight against the Qing Dynasty. However, after the matter was completed, it would no longer be clear and it would be a different matter.
These words were like a pool of clear water, a torrent, poured directly into the hearts of the three of them, which was incompatible with their ideas and even violently conflicted.
But in their hearts, they all had to admit that what Wu Zheng said... made sense.
It is true that the Ming Dynasty enjoyed the country for more than 200 years, but in the long river of history, only a small number of Han people are the masters who truly run through the whole process.
But no one mentioned this again.
I dare not mention it, and I cannot bear to mention it. It is useless to mention it, so it is better not to mention it!
Wu Zheng regretted it a little. What should he do if he said this?
Originally, I had a good impression of the three of them, but after saying this, I don’t know what the consequences are.
But for Wu Zheng, these words, were like a thorn in his throat, and he would not vomit easily.
The demise of Ming Dynasty has its own internal demise, but what is the reason why the Han people in the world have lost it?
If the Ming Dynasty still looked the same, even if the anti-Qing Dynasty was successful, it would still not escape the cycle of cause and effect.
The Qing Dynasty must rebel, and how should the Ming Dynasty recover? This is the focus of Wu Zheng's words.
Since waking up, Wu Zheng always thought that his enemy was the Tartars, but when he returned to Shaoxing, Wu Zheng discovered that his enemy was not just the Tartars, but in some ways, his own people were more... terrifying than the Tartars.
For example, the people!
The Qing army had occupied Hangzhou, but the imperial court did not mobilize the people of Shaoxing Prefecture.
The people are still drunk and dreaming, eating melons and watching the fun.
It seems that in Yangzhou, there were three massacres in Jiading in ten days, far away in the sky.
Apart from shouting with compassion, shed a few tears, she could never remember what to do or what to do.
For example, the court.
The State of Lu Jian was considered a wise ruler, at least he was willing to take out his private property to help the poor.
But he disagreed with recognizing the Longwu Dynasty, because once he recognized the Longwu Dynasty, his position as a state supervisor would be lost.
Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren were reluctant to give in.
The reason is very simple. Once the north and the south merge, they may be able to retain the position of Duke, but it is obvious that military power will fall aside.
Due to the influence of Zhang Guowei and the other two who had drunk their drink to vent their depression, Wu Zheng could not help but expose his depression.
Even if it will bring unpredictable consequences, Wu Zheng will not regret it.
Not only did he not regret it, Wu Zheng felt that he had something to say, but he would rather die if he didn't say it.
"The three adults must know that the general of Jiading was Wu Zheng's relative uncle. He died in the east city gate of Jiading. In fact, he could not die at all. In the last battle that day, before the Qing army broke through the east gate, there were still more than 300 people around his uncle. This was the direct line who had followed him for many years, and they were all veterans."
There were tears in Wu Zheng's eyes.
