please make me king

Chapter 1233 Shun Dian
Just when the crowd in Pingyang Fucheng was excited, the Zhengyi Academy outside Dongcheng was also full of guests.

This Zhengyi Academy is a school of Pingyang Prefecture, and all the students here are internal students of Pingyang Prefecture.

The former Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the current Taifu of the King of Shun, Han Yuzheng, was sitting on the high platform, reciting in a clear voice: "On the first day of the first month, I will finally receive the ancestor of Wen."

The Four Books and the Five Classics played a pivotal role in the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty, among which the "Shangshu" in the Five Classics played a pivotal role in the rural examinations in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the world is different and things are different. Now that King Shun is in power, I am afraid that the status of "Shangshu" will be improved.

Han Yu, who has read a lot of poetry and books, doesn't need to be taught, and he knows what to talk about when he is invited to the academy this time.

What Han Yu talked about was the "Book of Yu Shun Dian" in "Shangshu".

The speaker knows what he should say, and the listener naturally knows it too.

Sure enough, Han Yu had just read two sentences, and a student had already asked, "Sir, I don't know what is the meaning of the sentence 'the first month is the first day'?"

Here comes, Han Yu secretly said, and couldn't help laughing: "The great Confucian Ma Rongyou said: the sun is the same as the sun."

"The great Confucian Zheng Kangcheng also said: Emperors change generations, and there is no way to correct it."

"Yao was building the ugliness, and Shun was building the son. At this time, Yaozheng has not been changed, so it is said that the first month is on the sun."

The so-called "Jianchou" refers to the ugly month of December in the lunar calendar; "Jianzi" refers to the submonth of November in the lunar calendar.

When Yao was in power, December was the beginning of the year; when Shun was in power, November was the beginning of the year.

The so-called first month in later generations, the beginning of Xuanyuan, was determined in the Han Dynasty.

According to the "Book of Songs Ritual System": Xuanyuan, Gaoxin, Xiahoushi, and Han all regard the thirteenth month as positive.

The so-called "Thirteen Months" refers to the first lunar month of "Jianyin" in the lunar calendar.

"Baihu Tongyi" says: What are the three things in Zhengshuo?There are three systems in this day, which is called the moon of three micros.

Therefore, the three months of November, December, and January can be selected as Zhengshuo, so they are called "the moon of three micros".

Everyone here is a generation who has read a lot of poetry and books, why don't they understand the meaning, why do they use Han Yu's babbling?
The reason why some people make such inquiries is actually to test the ambitions of the rebel army.

Han Yu’s so-called “Yaozheng builds ugliness, Shunzheng builds sons. At this time, Yaozheng has not been changed, so it is said that the first month will go up to the sun.” In fact, this is a cryptic expression that “King Shun is now called king but not emperor, just as Emperor Shun used to be called emperor. Yao is normal, but the time has not come yet."

The sentient beings couldn't help being satisfied when they heard the words, and praised "Emperor Shun's virtue".

However, at this moment, someone thought more carefully and thought more far-reaching, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Excuse me, sir, I don't know what is the meaning of 'Shou finally Wen Zu'?"

"Tai Shigong said: Wenzu is the great ancestor of Yao, and Yao and Shun have the same ancestor, so he received it in his temple."

""Wang Zhi" quoted "Ji Ming Zheng" as saying: Tang Yu five temples, four relative temples, and one ancestor temple."

"The Yellow Emperor is the fourth ancestor of Yao. I don't know who this great ancestor is. The Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of Shun, is also the same as the great ancestor!"

What does that mean?

Han Yu cited Ma Qian's point of view from the Taishi Company, and believed that the so-called "Wenzu" was the great ancestor of Yao, that is, the great ancestor of Yao.

The Yellow Emperor is the fourth ancestor of Emperor Yao. It is not known who the Taizu was, and Emperor Shun also took the Yellow Emperor as his ancestor, so the two are the same Taizu.

Of course, there is no concept of "descendants of Yan and Huang" in this era. When Han Yu said these words, he almost denied the inheritance relationship between Zhang Shun and the Zhu family. What is the purpose of this?
Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they heard this, and thought to themselves: Mr. Han Ge is not a stunned young man, how could he say such a thing?

Sure enough, Han Yu narrated again: "The great Confucian Ma Rong believes that the ancestor of Wen is also the sky. Heaven is Wen, the ancestor of all things, so it is called the ancestor of Wen."

"Xunzi's etiquette theory says: the king is the emperor, the ancestor of Yao, the Yellow Emperor, must also match the sky."

Well, here comes the second explanation.

Emperors regard heaven as their ancestor, and the so-called "Wenzu" actually refers to "heaven".

Then, Han Yu continued to narrate: "Zheng Kangcheng said: The name of the five mansions of the ancestor of Wen is like the Mingtang of Zhou."

""Historical Records" Suoyin quoted "Shangshu·Emperor's Destiny" and said: "Five Mansions, Temples of Five Emperors."

"Cang is Lingfu, Chi is Wenzu, Huang is Shendou, Bai is Xianji, and Black is Yuanji."

"Tang Yu called it Tianfu, Xia called it the royal family, Yin called it the heavy house, and Zhou called it Mingtang, all of which were worshiped by the Five Emperors."

Good guy, three paragraphs and three explanations.

Sima Qian believed that Wenzu was Taizu Yao, Ma Rong believed that Wenzu was referring to the sky, and Zheng Kangcheng believed that Wenzu was Chidi.

"What do Mr. Na Na think is right and what is wrong?" Everyone hesitated for a moment, and they simply stopped pretending and asked directly.

Just tell me, where did King Shun's orthodoxy come from, and how do you plan to rectify his name?
"The King is the Taizu of the Heaven, so the Taizu of Yao is the Heaven!" Han Yu said with a slight smile, "The Heaven is God, and God is the Emperor of the Five Houses."

"In the Tang Dynasty, it was built by the Yellow Emperor. Mingtang is not only the general name of the five mansions, but also the honorable name of the Nanxiangshi! Lihuo civilization, so it is called Wenzu."

"As it is said in "Baihu Tongyi": What will the king change when he is ordered? Ming accepts it from the sky, not from people."

"Thus, even though Yao and Shun said abdication, it is actually the ear of heaven. Zheng said that it is synonymous with Tai Shigong and Ma Shi."

Han Yu's words are high-end, what do you mean?
That is to say, the ancestor of the emperor is the sky, and the sky is the so-called God in ancient times.

What does God mean?It refers to the Cang, Chi, Huang, Bai, and Hei five emperors worshiped in the five mansions.

At the time of Tang Yao, the Yellow Emperor was associated with the sky, so Mingtang became the general name of the five mansions, and also the honorable name of Nanxiangshi.

At that time, it was Chidi Wenzu who was worshiped in the Nanxiang room, so it was called Wenzu again.

To put it bluntly, the so-called "Emperor Shun" "accepted the last Wenzu" is actually ordered by heaven.

As the ancestor of Tang Yao, the Yellow Emperor was actually worthy of offering sacrifices to the five palaces.

Therefore, no matter what Sima Qian thinks of Yao Taizu, Ma Rong thinks of Tian, ​​and Zheng Kangcheng thinks of Chidi, they all have the same meaning.

Han Yu seems to be narrating "Shangshu · Shun Dian", but he is actually borrowing the past to satirize the present and expressing the Tao in writing.

It seems to be talking about the allusion of "Tang Yao surrendered to Yu Shun", but it is actually talking about "replacing Ming with Qin".

There may be many loyal ministers and righteous men in Ming Dynasty, but naturally there are also many "people who forget righteousness for profit".

Now that the rebel army is in full swing and has conquered Pingyang, naturally many people see the general trend and think about changing their families.

It's just that the so-called "celestial phenomena" and "mandate of heaven" of the rebel army are not accepted by orthodox Confucianism, so these people don't want to bear the name of "second minister" while trying to find a job.

Therefore, they hope to understand the construction of the righteous army's orthodoxy, and to become "heroes of the new dynasty" instead of "second ministers of the former dynasty".

It just so happened that Han Yu, the chief assistant of the former Ming Dynasty, is now serving as the Taifu of the Yijun.

During the question and answer, everyone understood a few things in an instant.

First, for the time being, Zhang Shun will continue to "follow Yao Zheng" and act like an emperor.

Second, "replacing Yao with Shun" was due to the number of days, and King Shun naturally wanted to "rectify Shuo" and establish a new dynasty.

Thirdly, the new dynasty will not wantonly promote "Yao, Zen and Shun", but argue that "replacing Ming with Qin" is an act of destiny, and it is an act of destiny.

Fourth, King Shun compares himself to Emperor Shun's virtue, so he will definitely "govern with benevolence and recruit talented people".

It seems that these points are not very important, but in fact they are related to the reputation of everyone after a hundred years.

Especially if the rebel army recognizes "Yao Chan and Shun", then the legal system of the new dynasty comes from the previous dynasty.

Then once the rebel army recognizes the legal system of the former dynasty, it will not criticize the former dynasty.

If the previous court hadn't been criticized, then what were they who switched families?
Now that they got the guarantee from the former chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Han Yu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking: "What you said is true, I wonder if there will be lectures and readings tomorrow?"

Han Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and he couldn't help being overjoyed. He quickly smiled and said, "If you are interested, starting from today, I will give lectures in Zhengyi Academy for five consecutive days. Those who are interested can come to listen to the lectures."
