Chapter 136: Imperial Art
In legends long ago, when an important person in a dynasty passed away, a giant whale would die in the sea.
The death of the giant whale is said to be extremely miraculous.
Its huge body comes from the support of the ocean, so after it dies, everything it receives from the ocean will be returned to the ocean.
It is said that every corpse of a giant whale will make the already prosperous marine population even more prosperous.
For the Lantian Imperial Court, with Yunmeng’s death, the ‘Tiannan Legion’ he owned was his body. Now, this huge body is also facing the fate of being decomposed.
This matter must be handled quickly, otherwise, something unspeakable will happen.
Yunmeng died, and Yun Zhao was heartbroken. In the days of waiting with the last hope, Yun Zhao, as the emperor, had already decided the fate of the "Tiannan Army".
Yun Shu has mediocre qualifications and is unable to take on big responsibilities, while neither Hong Chengchou nor Mu Tiantao are Yun Zhao’s candidates for the head coach of the "Tiannan Legion".
Under this situation, it has become a fact that Yunxiao left Yushan immediately and went straight to Jiaozhi to take over the "Tiannan Army".
Accompanying Yunxiao to Jiaozhi was Qian Shaoshao.
Yunxiao takes over the seal of the general of the Tiannan Army. Qian Shaoshao needs to carefully investigate the cause of Yunmeng's death. Yunzhao cannot end the matter just because Yunshu said that Yunmeng died of illness. A big deal.
At the same time, Yunxiao arrived in Jiaozhi. Regardless of the reason for Yunmeng's death, everyone in Jiaozhi must accept the punishment imposed on them by the Ming Empire.
Twenty days later, Yun Zhao received a memorial jointly sent by Jiaozhi Yunshu and Hong Chengchou.
The one who passed away was indeed Yunmeng!
After Yun Zhao saw the memorial, he tremblingly said to Pei Zhong: "Get up in the mourning hall."
All the funeral arrangements in Yun's mansion have been prepared, and as Yun Zhao After giving the order, Yun's mansion immediately turned into a sea of white, and the female family members cried loudly.
After Pei Zhong helped Yun Zhao put on the linen clothes and put on the heavy mourning, Yun Zhao returned home, knelt in the mourning shed, and accepted everyone's condolences expressionlessly.
The only people who are qualified to kneel and sit in the mourning shed are Yun Zhao, Yun Zhang, and Yun Xian. These three father and son, even Yun Meng’s daughter Yun Cai, can only serve in the back hall at this time. My father was keeping vigil, but he was not qualified to come to the front.
For the people of the Ming Dynasty, no number of days of filial piety is too much. Therefore, Yun Zhao must take his two sons to guard Yunmeng's coffin until Yunmeng's coffin is transported to Yushan from Jiaozhi. Until buried in the ancestral grave.
Yunhu, Yunbao, and Yunjiao have become weak from crying. The furious Yunjiao tried his best to advise Yun Zhao, hoping to send him to Jiaozhi.
Of course Yun Zhao knew the consequences of sending Yunjiao to Jiaozhi.
Hong Chengchou has already mentioned him in the memorialThe plan discussed with Yunmeng was put together. The plan was very good and very effective. However, there must be punishments that should be met. Yunjiao cannot be sent. If he goes, God knows what will happen to Jiaozhi. If Yunxiao goes Just right.
Since becoming the emperor, Yun Zhao found that he basically had no sense of right and wrong, only two choices: should and shouldn't.
The Ming Emperor is a god walking on the earth. At least within his sphere of influence, he can do whatever he wants.
The wise monarchs in history are just those who control their hearts better. If they cannot control their hearts well, the emperor is the source of all tragic events in the world.
It is difficult to be a filial son. Even though the Yushan Mountain was bone-chillingly cold in December, the Yun family and his son could only sit on their knees in the cold mourning shed, constantly adding ghost papers to the brazier.
Seeing that his eldest son was hugging his younger son and his face was blue from the cold, Yun Zhao asked Pei Zhong to get mink furs for the two children and lit a fire for them. As for Yun Zhao himself, , still kneeling at the front, shielding the two children from the wind.
"Your Majesty is in mourning. One day should be replaced by a hundred days. Do not neglect government affairs and immerse yourself in mourning."
Yun Zhao glanced at Xu Yuanshou who was speaking and said: "Uncle Meng I, Yun, have lived through life and death, and there is nothing to be filial to him. What he fears most in his life is that no one will pay homage to him.
If I can't even fulfill his wish. , That’s so unhuman.”
Xu Yuanshou was the person chosen by everyone to admonish Yun Zhao. Seeing the emperor’s decisive answer, everyone gave up their intention to admonish. A group headed by Zhang Guozhu People left the Yun family mansion. Since the emperor could not manage the government, they had to shoulder the responsibility.
Zhu Cunji, Pei Zhong, and officials from Honglu Temple stationed at Yun's mansion to take charge of all funeral ceremonies.
It was getting dark, and it was getting colder in the cemetery. Yun Zhang took off his fur coat and put it on his father. Yun Zhao looked back at his son, and put the fur coat on for him. The two brothers sat next to the brazier and then whispered: "Son, Grandpa Meng passed away. Dad feels uncomfortable. He suffered some physical and physical pain, but he feels better in his heart."
Yun Xian looked at it. His father said: "Dad, Grandpa Meng passed away. He didn't know anything."
Yun Zhao looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "Remember, Dad is not suffering like this for you, Grandpa Meng." , Actually it is for dad. Over the years, dad has owed you a lot, grandpa Meng. In fact, we, father and son, owe you grandpa Meng.
By doing this, dad feels comfortable and can deceive himself into paying you back. Some kindness from grandpa.
You must remember that in this world, kindness is the hardest to repay. It would be okay if we were ruthless people, but we are not. We always think of you, Grandpa Meng. The kindness to us has turned into a mountain at this time."
Yun Xian said: "But Mr. Xu said that we should be ruthless.It's better to be a little more meaningless.
Yun Zhang retorted to his younger brother: "Mother said, we should learn from our father, not everything from our husband. My husband has never been an emperor, how does he know what the emperor should do?" "
Yun Xian curled his lips and said: "I don't want to be the emperor, and I don't want to be trapped in the position of emperor like my father in Yushan City. I can't go anywhere, and I have to deal with things every day. Complete government affairs.
I am destined to travel around the world. I want to see the sky that no one has ever seen, taste the food that no one has ever tasted, and see the scenery that no one has ever seen.
Since I am my father’s son in this life, I am destined to realize wishes that others cannot.
Being an emperor is an ideal, but I want to fulfill my ideal even more. "
Yun Zhang said angrily: "I still want to lead an army across the four seas, sweep across the world and become invincible. ”
Listening to the two sons bragging to each other, the cloud on Yun Zhao’s face became even thicker.
Qian Duoduo, dressed in plain white mourning clothes, walked in carrying a food box. When she arrived at the funeral shed, she was very smart and knew that it was very cold here. Although the food she prepared was all vegetarian, it was still a pot of boiling soup.
Vegetarian meatballs, tofu, vermicelli, and cabbage stewed in a pot. It seems that they have just left the fire. At this time, eating a hot meal with white rice will definitely dissipate a lot of coldness.
Seeing the father and son devouring the meal, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but sigh. He said: "Even the gods can't bear to eat only this meal a day. My husband is not a person who values the old etiquette. Why must I abide by the old etiquette to the end this time?" "
Yun Zhao said while eating: "I want everyone to know that although we have transformed the world, Yun Zhao is a person who abides by basic rules. Yun Zhao does things in a systematic way. Circular. Not a reckless person. "
Qian Duoduo lowered his head and said: "I know you are feeling bitter, but you must also take good care of your body. Our child is still young. "
Yun Zhao, who was eating, suddenly stopped the chopsticks in his hand, lowered his head and said to Qian Duoduo: "When the filial piety is over, Yun Zhang and Yun Xian will no longer accept individual instruction from Mr. Xu. Put them into ordinary classes to study.
Qian Duoduo was surprised and said: "If we study in ordinary classes, next year, Zhang'er and Xian'er will go to Ningxia Town Lower Court to receive training." "
Yun Zhao repackaged a bowl of rice and said while eating: "That's it! ”
Yun Zhang, Yun Xian heard their father say this, and the two of them grinned heartlessly, feeling that they could finally escape from Mr. Xu’s harsh teachings.
Qian Duoduo knew who her husband was, and Yun Zhao loved the two children even more than she and Feng Ying, the two mothers.
Now, her husband would rather let them go. The children went to Ningxia Town to eat sand and suffer, and they were not willing to be taught by Mr. Xu alone. There must be something going on here.
Just ask in a low voice.Said: "Mr. Xu, is there something wrong here?"
Yun Zhao took a mouthful of sweet rice and did not answer Qian Duoduo's question.
Qian Duoduo no longer asked, but just watched over her husband and children, waiting for them to eat.
The pot of food was finished quickly, but the two little ones, who had suffered a day, were warm all over, and immediately fell asleep wrapped in fur clothes and hugging each other.
As Qian Duoduo slowly packed his things, he asked her husband in a low voice: "Do you think Mr. Xu did a good job in educating the children?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "In the end, Those who should not learn the art of the emperor are emperors. The art of the emperor has no formula. It is the strategy, demeanor, and insight that the emperor automatically generates during his growth.
If you just learn the art of the emperor, you can become one. A good emperor would not end up like so many miserable emperors in history.
Back then, Li Shimin thought he was the only emperor through the ages and wrote the magnificent masterpiece "Emperor's Model". , thinking that as long as the descendants of the Li family follow the book he wrote, they will naturally become wise emperors.
As a result, you also know the fate of the Li dynasty.
Every emperor has his own characteristics. These characteristics cannot be learned or taught. They can only rely on their own accumulation bit by bit in their growth, and rely on their own insights to finally turn the principles of the world into their own principles. , can he govern the world that belongs to him.
I don’t know why, the three of us can only have three children, but I am already very satisfied, as long as I teach these three children to become human beings. I am satisfied.
If we continue to hand it over to Mr. Xu, the Yun family will definitely usher in the end of the world within two hundred years. This is not what I hope, and at the same time, it is not what Mr. Xu wants to see. "
