Chapter 45 Coincidence
The enthronement of gods is no more than the enthronement of saints. The latter requires extremely harsh conditions. It takes generations to be recognized by dozens of rulers. When the ruling class builds a system, it needs guiding ideology and means of ruling, and it will be enthroned.
Imperial power needs to be consolidated by "rituals", so that the usurpers will have to bear the social risks of exceeding the etiquette. Simply put, it is difficult to gain the support of the same class of legality.
The reason why Li Shimin stumbling was that he had passed the painful period of the years before the revision. First, he did not usurp the throne in fact, after all, he killed the crown prince and the prince; second, regardless of whether the "passing the throne" was true or false, Li Yuan was still alive; third, he gave the landlords and gentry political power, allowing them to taste the sweetness.
Therefore, no matter how many remnants and rebellious enemies there were in the past, they could not cause any waves.
But since political power is transferred out, it will inevitably cause conflicts. Many dogs compete for food, and there will always be casualties. Wen Yanbo, a representative of the Northern gentry, needs to carry out external activities, so he has his own opinions.
The banner is very simple "benevolence".
The Huairou policy is generally a peaceful route, which is very attractive to the gentry with constant property. Only by honestly arriving in the land on their own territory can the mud legs continue their huge family.
Therefore, when someone opposes Wen Yanbo, it is opposing Huairou, be warlike, opposing "benevolence", in short, it is unkind.
From the center to the local area, this is a lineage, and the right to speak is in their hands. Those who can talk endlessly and refer to the other three are all children of the Five Sects and Seven Hopes similar to those of the big clan.
Therefore, Changsun Wugui made Li Dong treat his relatives around Zhang De with his mentality of winning over Zhang De. Li Shimin had deeper considerations. Chasing the iron rod of wheat was very meaningful to stabilize Bashu, Jingxiang, and Jiangdong.
After all, Mai Tiebang held an umbrella for Emperor Chen Dynasty. After Chen's demise, Yang Su suppressed the rebellion, and he was famous for his first place. He killed thirty with one knife, and only Tiebang under Yang Su's command was alone.
However, the official status of Maitie Zhang in the Sui Dynasty was nothing. What really moved was that although he could not read a word, he knew loyalty and righteousness. After he died in Liaodong, Yang Guang, who had always been affectionate, redeemed his body. Among the people who were mourning and carrying the coffin, were Yu Wenshi and his father Yu Wen Shu.
What's funny is that his brother later killed Yang Guang in Jiangdu. Mai Tiebang's eldest son Mai Mengcai failed to avenge Yang Guang and left with his father.
Therefore, whether it is before or after the success of the wheat iron rod, Jiangnan has a very high evaluation of it from Shilin to pawns.
If a hero from Jiannan Road passes Shaozhou, he will pay homage to the Mai family hall. And the wanderers who seek life on the Yangtze River will pay homage to the Iron Staff Temple in Jingxiang.
But this Iron Staff Temple has no explanation, and it is even a bit green forest, so the local government does not recognize it. However, it is better to have less than more things, and it is also true that the people do not procurate the officials and do not investigate them.
This is Zhang De’s idea. Since Wen Yanbo did not allow the posthumous title and had such strength to prevent the emperor from operating, then Lao Zhang could only detour.
Even if you cannot get into Guan Yu's position, it will at least be very helpful for gathering the hearts of people from all over the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhang De wanted to do this out of selfishness. He just wanted to do something for Uncle Tan. Mai Tiebang is too far away from him in his past and present lives.
It’s a pity that Zhang Gongjin does not have such a strong team to promote this matter. The position of the governor of the Dingxiang Governor’s Office is far from enough.
Wen Yanbo went from the court to the local government, from Guannei Road to Hebei Road. There were countless alliances openly and secretly, including Fang Qiaona's wife's family. If nothing unexpected happens, it is also Wen Yanbo's alliance.
Whoever grasps the political correctness stick and speaks!
Zhang Lishou and Zhang Lihai took their former comrades to Beili for a while. Zhang De and Fang Xuanling were still discussing, and occasionally Fang Qiao shouted loudly, looking a little excited.
It was not until the ugly moment that Zhang Declined to Fang Xuanling and said, "Mr. Fang, please."
"You can't worry about this matter, remember!"
"Yes, De is kept in mind."
After saying that, Zhang De held his fists to Fang Yizhi and said, "Brother, say goodbye."
"Fake it, brother, walk slowly."
“Stay.”
Zhang Lishou and Zhang Lihai, who were napping in the doorman, cheered up, and they all followed the horses.
Zhang De thought while walking, saying that if this matter was done well, Li Shimin would definitely be satisfied. Although the wheat iron rod was not as good as Guan Yu, the word "loyalty and righteousness" had a great lethal effect on the emperor. As the emperor of the ages, Li Shimin would not not see this.
The problem is that as the emperor, Director Li cannot push it from top to bottom. It must be "popular public opinion", and then someone in the court submitted a memorial, and then "I follow the public opinion."
This is how the process goes.
But how much you play, how to play, or whether it is enough to shut up Wen Yanbo, it still needs to be discussed.
Changsun Wugui, who was resting on the Chinese Valentine's Day, heard that the matter of chasing the wheat iron stick was not passed outside. When Director Li came to see her, he asked, "This is a small matter, how can he get here?"
"Welcome Yang Guang to warn me."
Empress Changsun was extremely intelligent and immediately understood, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed? Don't you know?"
"It's not that I don't know, I really don't want to do that."
Dong Li's eyes were cold, but he sneered in his heart. Liaodong must be taken, and Goguryeo must also perish. Otherwise, He'an, Hebei?
The four words "The Greatest Achievement" are not written from the pen tip, but from the gun tip.
There are still many complaints about the imperial examinations in the court, but the matter of posthumously sealing the iron rod of wheat has made Li Shimin more determined to improve the imperial examination system, and at the same time is preparing to further promote the southern gentry to balance the five gates and seven hopes.
"What a pity. This incident was originally a matter of being a favor for Zhang Caozhi to owe Erlang a favor." Changsun Wugui shook his head gently and had another plan, "Since the matter of chasing the title is full of difficulties, it is better to imitate the story of the prefect of King Zhao of Qin and Shu County. What's wrong with having the same name as the Second King Temple?"
When Li Dong's eyes lit up, Li Bing and his son managed the water, and Shu even respected him as the god of the river. Since it is difficult to do the chasing of the throne, it would be good to find another way.
Moreover, when Director Li remembered the incident of Wenxuan King Temple, he murmured: "Since there is a Confucian Temple, how about the Wu Temple?"
Thinking of this, Dong Li smiled, then stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth. The Confucian Temple made the gentry very satisfied and supported him more. If there was a Wu Temple, the head of the Guanlong army who had completely lost power would be somewhat comforted. The military celebrities who supported him would support him more.
Compared with civil officials, there are more military generals from common people.
“Um…”
Dong Li had a rough outline in his mind, and then said to Changsun Wugui: "The Guanyin maid is really my daughter's room."
"Did Erlang have any worries?"
"I have to think about it."
Then Dong Li suddenly said: "Prepare the Duke of Wei's Mansion." (To be continued.)
