back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 893
It's like a blow with all your strength, but it hit the cotton, which made Lu Chengqi extremely depressed.

Zhou Zhiruo comforted her with empathy: "Your Majesty, what's the big deal? As long as the hearts of the people are still there, they won't be able to cause trouble. After three or five years, the hearts of the people will turn away from them. Then they will become If the rats cross the street, I am afraid there is no need to target them..."

Lu Chengqi also understood Zhou Zhiruo's meaning, that is, those who are clean are cleared themselves.As long as the imperial court adheres to the New Deal and always puts the interests of the people first, Mingjiao will not be able to grow and develop.

Without fresh blood, coupled with the natural "rat" attribute, Mingjiao might have difficulty even surviving.

"I hope so!" Lu Chengqi sighed, "I have to go to the Chui Gong Palace tomorrow, I must have accumulated countless memorials..."

"Your Majesty doesn't rest for a few days throughout the year, so let's stop for a while! The cabinet ministers can draft these proposals. If there are really important matters, how can you not ask for instructions in person?" Zhou Zhiruo had a delicate heart and spoke softly. Convincing Lu Chengqi in words, let him cultivate for a few days.

Lu Chengqi thought about it for the same reason, but he didn't dare to relax.

Since becoming the emperor, Lu Chengqi has gradually discovered that the biggest difference between the Han people of this era and the Han people of later generations lies in the concept of family and country.

To put it bluntly, the Han people have the concept of Huayi, but not the concept of family and country.

In the eyes of the Han people, whoever is the emperor is not an emperor, and whoever pays taxes is not paying?As long as he can survive, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor!It is this kind of thinking that has caused the alien race to bring disaster to the Central Plains dozens of times.The most tragic thing was the time of the five chaos in China, and the three dynasties of Jinmeng and Qing Dynasty, which directly broke the backbone of the Han people.From then on, the Han people have to call themselves slaves, and look like slaves.

Is there any way to let the people form the concept that family is country and country is family?

Lu Chengqi naturally thought of the modern national symbols of later generations-the national flag, national anthem and national emblem.

The national flag seems to already exist. Lu Chengqi previously advocated changing the Shuai flag to become a dragon flag. This is already the prototype of the national flag, and there is no need to replace it.The dragon is the totem of the Han people. The dragon embroidered on the flag represents the successor of the dragon. It is also in two colors of Yan and Huang, which is full of meaning and does not need to be replaced.The flag of a country is used as the military flag, which can better integrate the army and the country, so that every soldier can understand that there is a country behind them, and once they retreat, that country will no longer exist.This can not only stimulate the soldiers' sense of family and country, but also increase morale, and will not flee around because the commander-in-chief flag falls.

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of honor.

An army without the concept of family and country, without a sense of honor, is not an iron-clad army, and must be defeated one by one.

The national flag is easy to handle, just use the dragon flag.But the national anthem and the national emblem are a little more difficult. Lu Chengqi thought, since the dragon is the totem of the Han people, or the national emblem should also use a dragon.But after thinking about it, the dragon is a symbol of the royal family, and if the people use it indiscriminately, it seems that they can't even pass the test of the court.

After much deliberation, Lu Chengqi still felt that using Chinese characters as the national emblem was more suitable. Firstly, it was simple and easy to implement, and secondly, the sense of identity would be enhanced.

But what is written on the national emblem?
Dashun's country name "Shun"?
Not right, not right.There is no ten thousand-year dynasty, only a ten-thousand-year Han country.

That's right, it's not enough to use the "Han" character!

Lu Chengqi slapped his thigh and blurted out: "Using the seal characters of 'Han' can not only show that the Han people are dominated by China, but also show that Chinese characters are the core of Chinese civilization, killing two birds with one stone!"

Seeing Lu Chengqi dancing happily, Zhou Zhiruo watched in astonishment, and asked after a long time: "Your Majesty, what are you..."

Lu Chengqi was in a great mood, and when he spoke out his thoughts, Zhou Zhiruo's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty's move will surely strengthen the hearts of the people!"

"It's natural. With these three magic weapons, I won't be afraid of aliens invading the Central Plains again. With the country behind, who dares to take a step back?" Lu Chengqi smiled complacently.

Zhou Zhiruo frowned and said, "You can't say that, you still have to be on guard..."

"Zitong is right. The dragon flag and the Han emblem are nothing more than symbols. They are the backbone of our Han people and the inner spirit. But we must be tough on the outside. Without a strong army, how can we protect the great rivers and mountains of our Han people?" Lu Chengqi didn't get carried away either, he could still tell the priority.

"Then His Majesty plans to use that song as the national anthem?"

Zhou Zhiruo cared about this the most. In this era, music is responsible for educating the people.There is an idiom called "Teaching harmony with music", which comes from "Book of Rites and Music": "Those who have music are the same, and those who are ritual are different. If they are the same, they will have a blind date, and if they are different, they will respect each other. In the ritual education, the music teaches harmony."

The reason why the Zhou Dynasty was able to spread the country for [-] years is that there are many important measures in politics, society, economy and military.Those who are closely related to education and culture are for making rituals and making fun.Zhou Gong's rites and music are the culmination of the previous sages. Its scope covers all aspects of politics, economy, society, and culture, such as crowns, weddings, funerals, sacrifices, village shoots, and court appointments. , is actually only seen by countries all over the world, and its purpose is nothing more than to adjust temperament, so that people can practice good every day and avoid sin.

Zhou Gong's rituals and music are actually one thing. 'Music comes from the inside, and rituals come from the outside. "Music advocates harmony, rituals advocate respect, music is the immutability of emotion, and ritual is the implacability of reason, which is in line with emotion and then in line with reason.A complete personality and an ideal society must have both the teachings of ritual and music, so that they can be considered beautiful, kind, happy, and perfect.Confucius said: "In governing the people, there is nothing good at propriety; in changing customs and customs, there is nothing good at joy." 'China is known as the land of etiquette and righteousness, and making rituals and music is the center of Chinese culture.

The educational purpose of the Western Zhou Dynasty was the so-called teaching of the six arts in Confucianism.That is, rites, music, archery, imperialism, books, and numbers.Among them, the two items of ritual and music are especially the center of the six arts.Li represents the division of people, that is, ethical concepts; music represents people's sympathy, that is, living in harmony.Ceremony is something that cannot be changed in human relations, and happiness is something that cannot be done by human feelings.

Later, "ritual collapse and music decay" used to describe the social order chaos caused by the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the gradual collapse of the feudal lords' wars. It was also gradually cited as the phenomenon that the gradual loss of ethics and moral culture led to the decline of people's hearts and the decline of the world.But the ritual and music system of the Zhou Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since then.

Lu Chengqi naturally understood the key to the national anthem, and felt hesitant: "The national anthem needs to be vigorous, impassioned and majestic. It is the best way to enhance the pride of the Han people. It's just that I have watched the current repertoire, but the sound is so mediocre that it is unbearable to the ears. How can it be done?"

Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile: "My concubine heard that Su Shi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has always had a heroic style of poetry. Why doesn't Your Majesty summon Su Zizhan to write a poem for the country?"

"Wonderful, wonderful! Zi Tong is worthy of being my empress!" Lu Chengqi hadn't expected it before, and almost wanted to include "March of the Volunteers".Fortunately, no, this "March of the Volunteers" doesn't quite fit the style of music at this time, and the lyrics seem a little plain.The poetry and books of the Han people are most concerned about rhythm, and the test of the court must be difficult.

"Your Majesty just didn't think of it for a while, and my concubines dare not take credit!" Zhou Zhiruo leaned into Lu Chengqi's arms and said softly, "Your Majesty has worked too hard on state affairs. Even when he was recuperating, he never forgot to deal with state affairs. You can't be good Put it down for a while, and cultivate your body?"

Lu Chengqi also said emotionally: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't! 1 years is too long, and I only fight for the day and night!" He felt a little emotional in his heart. If he didn't know the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a situation. The sense of crisis, maybe he has become a fool now, right?Playing songs every night, drinking pools and meat forests, just thinking about it is a temptation...
