Chapter 303 Let the emperor make it again
Li Dingguo ordered Li Xuzhong to serve tea to the three of them and said, "I am just looking for you to come, but you are all here."
"Prince, all three of us want to ask, what are your constitutions?" Bai Wenxuan looked at Ma Jinzhong and asked at a glance.
Among the three, Ma Jinzhong fought steadily and Ma Bao fought ruthlessly, while Bai Wenxuan was brave and resourceful, and was a rare general, and therefore became the most trusted subordinate of Li Dingguo.
"Wenxuan, tell me, what about Fu Zuolin?" Li Dingguo did not directly answer Bai Wenxuan's words, but asked about his evaluation of Fu Zuolin.
"Crazy, talented." Bai Wenxuan replied concisely.
"Yes, crazy, but talented. A person like this is just a censor to Emperor Zhu, but no one can match in my great Western Kingdom. We are all brave men. There is a Ren Shen who is less than half a bottle of swaying, and he is just a scholar's fame. In terms of talent and knowledge, he is incomparable to Fu Zuolin. From this, it can be seen that Emperor Zhu has a lot of talents and many capable people."
"The ancestors hated scholars very much. As soon as the "Seven Killing Poems" was released, they killed all the scholars in Sichuan and relied entirely on high-pressure means to subdue them. What was the result? Didn't they lose the hearts of the people and finally lost Sichuan, and even he himself lost to the hands of the Tartars? Speaking of this, I just want to say that it is absolutely impossible to govern the country by our military men, and you must have literary talent. People as powerful as the ancestors can't be able to rely on us. It's impossible to rely on us to explain the general trend of the world like Fu Zuolin. There is no one in the Great Western Kingdom. Therefore, the Great Western Kingdom designation cannot be preserved."
"If the Great Western Kingdom cannot be independent, then there are only two ways: to surrender to Ming and surrender to Qing. I will never do it. There are two reasons. One is to surrender to Qing Dynasty and to defeat the great expectations of the ancestors, and the other is to surrender to Qing Dynasty and help the evildoer. Later history books will definitely be infamous."
"On the other hand, Emperor Zhu was based on the people's governance, and he also proposed that 'the world is the world of the people of the world, not just the Zhu family', which shows his kindness; he could accurately judge the movements of the Qing army and the response strategies of the Longwu Dynasty, and went into the tiger's den alone to seek Guangzhou, which shows his bravery; he could build two types of firearms, grenades and mines, which shows his wisdom. His mind, demeanor, knowledge, and ability are really admirable. I can assert that he can lead the Han people in the world to defeat the Tartars."
"Today Fu Zuolin also said that when today's major events are on the surface, they are a dispute between the Ming and Qing dynasties, but in fact they are a dispute between the Manchus and the Han dynasties. This statement has really come to the root of the story. I don't know what you thought when you heard this statement. Anyway, I was very shocked and I felt suddenly cheerful."
"So, in order for the Han people in the world to straighten their backs, there is another wise ruler to protect, I am determined to vote."
Li Dingguo did not hide anything in front of the three of them, and told his thoughts together.
The "Seven Killing Poems" mentioned by Li Dingguo just now was written by Zhang Xianzhong, and the poem says:
"Everything is born to nourish the people, and no one can repay the heavens with good deeds.
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill! Unfaithful people say they can be killed!
Unfilial people say they can be killed! Unkind people say they can be killed!
An unrighteous person is said to be killed! He is not polite, not wise, not trusting people.
The King of the West said to kill and kill! I will not be born to fight for the deer.
The capital is lazy to build a golden platform, and the top scholars and officials are like dogs.
He always used his sword to capture the sour materials and ordered the four princes under his command.
There is no need to seal a knife when breaking the city, and this monument is erected on behalf of the sky on the hill.
逆天之人立死跪亦死!”
"Yes, the prince is right. The ancestors ruled the country with hatred, while Emperor Zhu ruled the country with benevolence, so the Daxi Kingdom was full of resentment, while the Yongli Dynasty was full of peace. Those who were full of resentment would not have a good end, and those who were full of peace would definitely be prosperous." When Ma Bao heard that Li Dingguo decided to make a clear head, he was overjoyed and quickly expressed his agreement. In his joy, he said what Huang Zongxi and Ren Shi said during a chat.
Upon hearing this, Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, and Ma Jinzhong looked at Ma Bao at the same time.
"Wow, Ma Bao, can you, a rude man, say such things? I went to Guangzhou and I am a master of knowledge." Bai Wenxuan quipped.
"Hehe, how many bowls of dry rice will be eaten, you don't know? This is what Huang Zongxi said, and then learn to sell it now." Ma Bao touched the back of his head embarrassedly.
“哈哈哈……”众人笑了起来.
"Prince, I don't object to the title of Mingbei. But Yongli only gave you a general title. Isn't this too stingy?" Bai Wenxuan said.
"Wenxuan, Emperor Zhu refused to be threatened by others, because he was the temperament of a hero. If someone gave him a generous reward as soon as he threatened him, it would be too weak. To be honest, it would be better if such an emperor was not protected. Besides, the real purpose of my Li Dingguo casting Ming is to serve the country and the people, not to get high officials and generous salaries by himself." Li Dingguo replied sternly.
"But, from the prince to the general, the contrast is too big, right?" Bai Wenxuan was still a little unwilling.
"What prince? What is the value of the title we proclaimed? How many people in the world can recognize it after Kunming? The general is good, the low point will be low, and I feel at ease." Li Ding Guodao.
"What the prince said is very much. Not to mention appointing you as a king, even if you as a prince, the prince will never accept it." Ma Jinzhong frowned.
"Well, what's the point? Why don't you accept it?" Bai Wenxuan asked.
"If you have a high merit, you can only be sentenced to death. It is better to have a lower official position. If you are willing to make merits with confidence and boldness, you will be rewarded or not? If you do not reward, you will not be rewarded. If you do not reward, what can you reward? Reward the title of king? Today, Fu Zuolin said that there were no kings in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Da, who made the greatest contribution at the beginning of the founding of the country, was only granted the title of king, but not king." Ma Jinzhong said.
When he said this, Li Dingguo felt a layer of white sweat on his body. Yes, what Jinzhong said was very true. If you sincerely assist the emperor, you must make contributions step by step. You will be rewarded with the princes and princes. The day of success will be the death.
"I used to think that the emperor just didn't want to be threatened. Now it seems that the title is lower and he has a kind heart of kindness." Li Ding Guodao.
Bai Wenxuan was convinced when he heard this and never mentioned the title again.
"Prince, can you see the king of the country, Funan, Dingbei and others? "Ma Jinzhong asked.
"Wenxiu, I can almost convince you that you can be surprised, but the lord is not sure at all." Li Ding Guodao.
"Then let's do ours, bring the Funan King and Dingbei King to go to Ming together." Ma Bao said.
"No, my brother and I have been in the 17th year. I can't let him down. If I want to be clear, I have to find a way to convince him." Li Dingguo shook his head and said.
