If Lao Zhu eats some occasionally, or eats quietly, then there will be no problem.
But if Lao Zhu was asked to publicly publicize his eating these things, and even spread the word to the world, he was unwilling to do so.
Some things are easy to say, but not nice to hear.
What are these things?
Those were pig food and extremely smelly things in the eyes of the people. If the people knew that Lao Zhu ate these things, wouldn't it make the emperor's face plummet?
Not to mention that Lao Zhu has delicacies to eat, even if he has nothing to eat, he will not eat such a wasteful thing.
So, Lao Zhu snorted coldly with a dark face.
Tang He also looked at Han Du dumbfounded, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Han Du, I know that the news of you eating pig food has been widely spread in the capital these days, but there is no need for you to plot against all the officials."
The most important thing is that it doesn't matter if Han Du plots against all the officials, but you definitely want to plot against the emperor as well.
This is deadly.
Tang He only said one word for Han Du. He caught a glimpse of the emperor's stern face from the corner of his eye and did not dare to say anything more. I could only sigh in my heart, Han Du, whether you live or die today depends on God's will.
Han Du looked at Lao Zhu's cold expression without any fear in his heart. He cupped his fists and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is a clear lesson. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, locusts ravaged the world and the people were miserable. Tian Khan and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin raised their arms. He shouted, 'People rely on grain as their livelihood, and you eat it, which is harmful to the people. The people have made mistakes, and it is only for one person. He has a spirit, but it eats my heart and does no harm to the people.' Eating locusts raw will solve the world. The plight of all peoples.”
Lao Zhu listened, as if tasting something, and the coldness on his face quickly faded away.
Han Du raised his head to see him, and suddenly felt certain in his heart, and said solemnly: "The Khan of Heaven fights for food rations for the people of the world, and he does not hesitate to eat locusts alive. Now that your majesty has opened up another source of food for the people of the world, why not eat these?"
Why is Emperor Taizong Li Shimin still talked about by the people for thousands of years? It’s not about how awesome Li Shimin is. Of course, he is also awesome, but he is not so awesome that no one can match him.
But why did other emperors not have Li Shimin's influence among the people? The reason is that Li Shimin knows how to package and promote.
Take the matter of eating locusts, for example. In the hands of ordinary emperors, it is nothing more than issuing decrees, offering sacrifices to heaven, and allocating money to provide disaster relief. But in the hands of Li Shimin, it turned into a beautiful political show. He instantly won the sympathy and understanding of people all over the world, and without spending a penny, his reputation spread throughout the ages.
When later generations talk about the emperors of the past dynasties, they all think that Li Shimin is the first and Zhu Yuanzhang is the second. But does this mean that Lao Zhu really did worse than Li Shimin? In Han Du's view, this is not the case.
It started with just one bowl, but within ten years it became a world-famous player. In Han Du's view, this is no longer a legend, it is a myth that even a novel would not dare to write about.
Can Lao Zhu, who can single-handedly create such a myth, be worse than Li Shimin?
The reason why Lao Zhu is not as famous as Li Shimin in history is that, in Han Du's view, he does not know how to package and promote himself. For example, Lao Zhu overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and recreated Chinese clothes. This was originally a matter worth writing about. If this matter is properly packaged and publicized, Lao Zhu's status in history will not be worse than that of Li Shimin.
However, Lao Zhu's achievements are only represented by the four words "driving out the Tartars", which has no momentum at all. It is no wonder that others say that "since ancient times, there is no one who can rule as right as Li Shimin, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang."
Always succumbing to Li Shimin.
Others don't know how to package and promote, but Han Du does. Since you are here by yourself, you must find a way to help Lao Zhu make up for this shortcoming.
Lao Zhu's eyes were filled with the rays of the sun, and he stared at Han Du closely, full of enlightenment and surprise. Lao Zhu originally admired the Tang Dynasty very much. After the establishment of the world, the official system, clothing, etiquette, etc. of the Ming Dynasty were almost copied from the Tang Dynasty. This may be the reason why Lao Zhu came from a commoner background, because there are always various deeds of Li Shimin and various rumors about the Tang Dynasty among the people.
As for rumors, as long as it is something that people talk about, it will inevitably be thought about. As for the things after the brainstorming, they are naturally beautified layer by layer.
So when Lao Zhu taught Zhu Biao, his first requirement was to have a correct mind.
What the hell is righteousness? One of the meanings of righteousness is to make people's hearts return to righteousness. The second is to express impartiality and selflessness.
This is to educate people, is it to be kind to others?
If this is used by ordinary people to educate their children, there is no problem, but can it be used to educate future princes?
There is a saying that goes, "In all dynasties, no good person can be a wise king. In history, no one who has become a wise king in the end is a good person." 'Including Tian Khan and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who killed his brothers and forced the emperor into prison. To describe him as sinister, cunning, despicable and shameless is not an exaggeration at all.
But Li Shimin's image among the people is indeed great and upright.
Lao Zhu was influenced by this and naturally believed that as long as he was great and upright as an emperor, he would be successful. But he has been working hard for more than ten years and has been practicing according to the rumored practice of Li Shimin, but he always feels that he is missing the point, as if he is looking at flowers in the fog.
It wasn't until Han Du pointed it out just now that Lao Zhu knew what was wrong with him compared to Li Shimin.
Han Du's light words helped Lao Zhu break through his cognitive barriers and let him see a new world.
Lao Zhu was extremely excited, and his boiling blood seemed to be almost uncontrollable. He stood up suddenly, looked at Han Du with eyes full of admiration, and said flatly, "Let us think about this matter carefully."
Think about it, think about it carefully...
After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about anything else.
Zhu Biao looked at his father without knowing why, then at Han Du who was standing by with a smile, shook his head and followed his father away.
Only Tang He looked at Han Du with a hint of horror in his eyes, reached out and patted Han Du on the shoulder, opened his mouth, but no words came out. He just smiled and nodded to Han Du, and then left with the emperor.
As Lao Zhu and his party left, the courtyard, which had been bustling just now, returned to peace in an instant. Only Han Du, who watched Lao Zhu leave with a smile, and his father who was muttering to himself were left.
Han Du walked over with a smile, and suddenly heard his father's voice, as thin as a mosquito's moan, "Your Majesty, you have actually visited the Han family in person. The Han family's ancestors are in great glory..." over and over again.
Han Du looked at his excited father speechlessly. His emotional father was so excited that he lost his mind from the moment he came in?
