Ming dynasty grand dude

Turning around, holding the solemn bow in both hands, kneeling high above his head, his voice was low and solemn: "I am entrusted by one hundred thousand disaster victims to dedicate this to Your Majesty!"

Luo umbrella, this is a Luo umbrella.

This can be said to be a very simple umbrella, and even the shape is completely wrong, which makes people feel ridiculous.

But no important minister here could laugh, even Emperor Hongzhi was trembling with excitement.

"Xiao...Xiao Banban, open the umbrella!"

While speaking, Emperor Hongzhi stood up unexpectedly, even staggered and almost fell down.

Xiao Jing hurriedly supported Emperor Hongzhi, but Emperor Hongzhi waved his hands two or three times and rushed down from the throne.

The two internal officials got Xiao Jing's wink and hurried forward, solemnly raised the umbrella and opened it slowly with a "Kakaka~"!

When the umbrella was opened, all the officials in the imperial study room fell silent.

Looking at this umbrella, they couldn't help being excited and surging. This is the greatest compliment for any politician or politician...!

Countless pieces of cloth, each with the word "Fu" crooked and even wrongly embroidered on it...

Those fine pieces of cloth are some big and some small, some are worn out and some are whitish without dyeing starch.

But in that stitch and thread, the meaning contained in it is heavier than Mount Tai!

What is the heart of the people?This is the heart of the people!

What is public opinion?This is for the public opinion! !

Yes, it's crude, it's out of shape, and even the handle of the umbrella is an uncut branch with a burl.

In terms of money, it is not even more valuable than the shabby clothes of beggars on the street.

But if it is the heart of the people it represents... this umbrella is unparalleled in the world!

Even the most luxurious, noble and ancient umbrella in the world still pales in comparison to it.

"On the day I left, [-] disaster victims sewed all night and waited in front of my car..."

Kneeling on the ground with one knee, the little father-in-law said in a low voice, "The old man recommended by the disaster victims said that most of the disaster victims are illiterate and don't know how to make a Wanmin umbrella..."

After saying this, the three great scholars and the three ministers were silent.

This clearly means that those gentry and scholars are not among those fleeing at all.

"There is a folk custom that everyone can collect hundreds of cloths and make hundreds of clothes without receiving the favor of others, so as to cure diseases and disasters, and live a healthy and long life..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, he was also aware of this custom.

Children who are often sick and suffer disasters must eat thousands of meals and wear patchwork clothes in order to cure diseases and disasters and live a long life.

"The common people fled without anything, so they took a piece of cloth and embroidered the word 'Fu' on it..."

"In order to show dignity, it is imitated like a Luo umbrella. Hundreds of thousands of people rushed to make this 'Wan Min Bai Na Wan Blessing Umbrella' overnight and asked the ministers to bring it back and present it to His Majesty!!"

Chapter 282 People's Hearts Can't Be Humiliated, People's Wills Can't Be Bullied

Emperor Hongzhi was trembling, and almost moved to the raised umbrella, his hands trembling slightly stretched out to caress the umbrella.

Its shape really looks ridiculous, but no one laughs here.

Caressing the "Fu" characters on the umbrella, they are crooked and ugly, and the thread used is very messy.

The sewing is very rough, which is completely incomparable with the embroidery in the palace, and even many characters are embroidered wrong.

However, in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, they palpitate him more than any exquisite embroidery work.

"This... This is what they gave me?! Really... It's for me?!"

Emperor Hongzhi's voice was trembling, and he couldn't believe it and asked a few words to the young man.

The little father-in-law silently bowed his knees, not for himself.

This is for the [-] people who were saved, and for the more than [-] disaster victims who will survive later!

"When the old man handed over this umbrella to the minister, he once said..."

"This umbrella is dedicated to one hundred thousand poor people, in consideration of His Majesty's grace! I only wish Your Majesty will be blessed for ten thousand years, and protect the poor people!!"

But at this moment, the little father-in-law bowed respectfully to Emperor Hongzhi with a low and solemn voice.

"My lord! It's a blessing to meet Ming Jun! I have been tasked with rescuing the disaster victims, and the journey has been arduous and hard-fought..."

"Fortunately, I did not humiliate my ancestors and pay my graciousness to His Majesty! The disaster victims... are safe!!"

Miserable people... [-] miserable people, these words have never been so heavy.

From Emperor Hongzhi to all the courtiers in this hall, all were silent, the words "Fu" one by one, the pieces of rags...

Now it seems so heavy, so dazzling, every discussion and every decision of national policy in the country...

What will be involved will be the life and death of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of people in the country! !

In the past, they were just numbers on the newspaper, but now they seem to be placed in front of Emperor Hongzhi with this umbrella.

"Min Tian Ji Wei, apply it to the earth. It's still going to come back, when will it be depressed?..."

Looking at the Wanmin umbrella, Xie Qian was trembling all over and muttering to himself: "People know one thing, but don't know the other..."

"...Tremblingly, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice!"

Li Dongyang and others knew that Xie Qian was reciting "Xiaoya Xiaomin".

Is it not the case with state affairs and state affairs? !Every penny, every move, is trembling, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice!

"If you have the Dao in the world and its people, you will win the world! If you get the people in the Dao, you will get their hearts, and you will win the people!!"

Looking at the umbrella, Liu Jian was a little absent-minded, muttering the chapter "Mencius Li Loushang" in his mouth, his body trembling uncontrollably.

This sentence comes from the chapters and sentences of "Mencius Li Loushang", which means:

There is a way to win the world, you only need to get the support of the people to get the world.

And there are ways to get the support of the people, as long as you get the support of the people, you will get the support of the people!

This umbrella...isn't it the best interpretation? !

Li Dongyang stared blankly at the umbrella, looking at the simple and even shabby "Fu" characters on the umbrella and murmured in a low voice.

"Government with virtue, such as Beichen, dwelling in its place, and all the stars share it..."

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Weizheng Second", and the meaning of this sentence is:

If the ruler implements a benevolent government, he will stand still like the Big Dipper and the stars, while all the ministers and the people will surround and defend themselves!

At this moment, the three great scholars and the three ministers stared blankly at the umbrella...

The filth in the court, the intrigues, the scramble for fame and fortune...under this umbrella, they look so pale, powerless and ridiculous.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly had such a shred of understanding, are those things above the court really that important? !

Intrigues, checks and balances between monarchs and ministers, those so-called censors...

The three great scholars and the three ministers are extremely shocking, so why not Emperor Hongzhi? !

He stroked the umbrella gently and tremblingly, his hands trembling.

Every stitch and thread on this umbrella looks so heavy and so precious...

His eye sockets were a little red and moist, and the so-called "emperor's moodiness" education seemed to have completely collapsed at this moment.

"Come to Zhuqing's house, let's take a look..."

Emperor Hongzhi's voice was hoarse and trembling, and he said to several important ministers: "This... this is the people's will! This is the people's opinion!!"

"People with the hearts of the people can't be bullied... People with the hearts of the people... can't be humiliated!!"

However, Emperor Hongzhi took the umbrella from the hands of the internal officials, and waved tremblingly for the three scholars and the minister to come.

"All my lovers, come and have a look..."

Emperor Hongzhi's voice trembled, and the corners of his eyes were moist: "The ancient sages talked about the hearts of the people, but now... I see the hearts of the people with my own eyes!!"

"Huh la la~" In the palace of the imperial study, a strong wind suddenly blew.

But seeing this umbrella swaying against the wind, it looks like a pines and cypresses standing proudly, or like a raging reef hitting the shore with turbulent waves!

On the pieces of rags above, the characters "Fu" seemed to come alive all of a sudden, standing up against the wind, swaying and shouting...

"Veteran, etc... Congratulations to His Majesty! This... the one who is loved by the people of the world!!"

All the ministers and officials inside and outside the hall paid respects to Emperor Hongzhi, who was holding an umbrella, and attended with big gifts.

Liu Jian even burst into tears when he leaned over: "I wait...how fortunate! I have to meet the Ming Lord and serve the imperial court!"

"This life... has no regrets!!"

What left a name in history, what incense after death, suddenly Liu Jian and others understood the true meaning of the words of the ancient sages!

Learning together, neither for the so-called "living forever" nor for "retaining a name in history".

There is only one thing for those who stay: how much do you pay for the people of this world, and how much do you keep? !

Don't you see: the ancestor dragon incense has long been eradicated, and Li Bing has been worshiped in Western Shu so far? !

Thousands of years later, when Li Bing and his son sacrificed, the benefiting people of Dujiangyan often brought their families and went to the sacrifices without hesitation.

Every time there are sacrifices, there are as many as tens of thousands and as few as more than ten thousand.The people of Western Shu have never forgotten their father and son!

Do they write books? !never...

Even the inscription erected by it is full of words about Dujiangyan's important task and maintenance skills.

Do they pass it on? !nor ever...

Even the "Historical Records Hequ Shu" only records "Shu Shou Bing" without any surnames, and only a few words in "Han Shu Gou Wei Zhi" say "Shu Shou Li Bing".

"Historical Records" and "Hanshu" only briefly stated that "cut away from the pile, avoid the harm of foamy water, and pass through the middle of Chengdu in the second river".

Although historians and Confucians do not remember it, the people of Western Shu have never forgotten it.

The incense in the Temple of the Great King and the Erwang Temple has not been extinguished so far. Why don't the benefited people be grateful for their kindness! !

"The hearts of the people... This is the foundation of the empire! The most important weapon of the country!!"

Emperor Hongzhi stared angrily, breathed heavily and raised his hand to make all the officials stand up: "Come and see...all come and see!"

"Look at the hearts of the people in this world, look at the opinions of the people!"

Liu Jian and the others got up tremblingly, trembling as if carrying a weight on their shoulders.

In front of the umbrella, gently rubbing hands...

For a moment, several important ministers of the state were crying. They seemed to see the people in ragged clothes and dark faces...

Under the bonfire in that tent, he cut off his ragged clothes little by little.

Carefully and conscientiously embroidered the word "Fu" on the cloth with crooked stitches and different dyeing of needles and threads.

So... what kind of picture is it? !

After reading so far, these important officials of the state who are familiar with the books of sages suddenly became enlightened, and the thoughts that were once incomprehensible suddenly became comprehensible.

Those obscure truths are so clear at this moment, the ancient sages may have different ideas...

But at its root, which one is not seeking for the well-being of the people in the world? !

"Han Feizi Youdu" says, "The law is not expensive, and the rope is not bent." Isn't it for the common people?

"Mozi Seven Troubles" mentioned many times that "the one who prepares is the most important thing in the country, and the one who eats it is the treasure of the country", "Therefore, if there is no millet in the storehouse, you can't wait for the fierce hunger" and so on.

Isn't it for the people of the world? !Wouldn't it be against the way of sages to just read the books of sages and regard them as standard? !

One side of learning is called "knowledge-impaired", and "knowledge-impaired" people are trapped at one end of the learning, but they have insufficient self-knowledge but make little progress.

If this obstacle can be broken, then you can establish your own study, develop your own theory, and become a great achiever!

Gently and tremblingly caressing the hearts of the [-] hard-working people, everyone from Emperor Hongzhi to these important officials in the royal study suddenly became enlightened.

What Emperor Hongzhi realized was what Qi Lin'er emphasized to him many times, that kindness comes from above and the people are the root.

The importance of the state does not lie in the court, the stream, or the scholars, but in the thousands of people in the Ming Empire!

The hearts of the people are still there, and the will of the people is still there, so who can overthrow the royal family? !
