Western Hills.
Su Yang was taking his young wife down the mountain.
It's been a long time since she traveled with Xiaowan, and Su Yang was going to take her down the mountain for an outing.
However, as soon as the couple reached the foot of the mountain, they bumped into Zhu Di and his son.
Zhu Di felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, and his expression was a little unnatural.
Fortunately, Xiaowan adjusted the atmosphere, and it was finally not so embarrassing.
In the end, we became a family of five and went out for a leisurely outing.
"Tell me, what trouble did you encounter this time?"
Su Yang said expressionlessly.
The first time he saw Zhu Di, he knew that this cheap father-in-law was here to do something for him again.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought my eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law with me. Neither of them are good things!
Zhu Di smiled and explained the whole story in a low voice.
"We held a military meeting yesterday. His Highness King Yan originally wanted to study sending troops to Daning, but unexpectedly all the generals were frightened by the imperial court's half a million troops!"
"However, His Highness the King of Yan is aware of the seriousness of the problem. Once the news is announced, the morale of the Yan army will collapse in an instant!"
"After all, the generals in the army are timid before fighting, let alone the lower-level soldiers. They may even cause a mutiny and blow up the camp!"
Hearing this, Su Yang suddenly fell silent.
Zhu Di's worries are not impossible.
After all, most of the Yan army are now surrendered soldiers!
Once they hear that an army of 500,000 people is coming to kill them, they will inevitably have thoughts that they shouldn't have!
After all, in the face of the threat of death, no one would be strong-willed and willing to follow King Zhu Di of Yan to die, not to mention that they themselves were surrendered troops and were soldiers of the imperial court before!
Based on this hidden danger, it is not impossible for the morale of the army to be low and the morale of the army to be disorganized!
Even if someone instigates and instigates, mutiny and bombing of the camp may occur!
Thinking like this, Su Yang was a little confused.
"So my father-in-law came here this time to ask me to find a way to solve the morale problem?"
Zhu Di nodded repeatedly and looked at Su Yang expectantly.
Su Yang immediately became happy and asked: "Where are Master Daoyan and Jin Zhongchangshi? With their wisdom, this question shouldn't be difficult, right?"
When he heard the word "not difficult", Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ahem, Jin Zhongchangshi has gone to Daning. He has more important things to do."
"As for Monk Daoyan... This monk doesn't know what has caused him to be crazy recently. He is studying the art of war with all his heart!"
Zhu Di explained with some embarrassment, and couldn't help but cursed Monk Daoyan in his heart.
Ever since Su Yang arrived, the monk had become more and more eccentric, neglecting his duties all day long, so much so that Zhu Di had to come to Su Yang for help.
After all, Su Yang is his son-in-law!
He doesn't know his identity yet, so Zhu Di has the nerve to come over and ask for help with a shy face.
How embarrassing would it be if Su Yang knew his identity in the future?
Su Yang was stunned when he heard this, a little confused.
Monk Dao Yan studies the art of war?
Why do you really want to read a lot of books and learn about hundreds of schools of thought?
Su Yang smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"Actually the solution is very simple."
"Father-in-law, you should still remember what those rebels did in history, right?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di was unhappy.
What kind of truth is this kid talking about?
This king is not a rebel, this king is "Fengtian Jingnan"!
But what did those rebels in history do?
What else can you do?
Gather a crowd to cause chaos and kill officials to rebel!
But what does these nonsense have to do with this king?
Seeing Zhu Di's confused face, Su Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother, you are very knowledgeable, but do you remember the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to resist the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty?"
When Zhu Gaochi heard the call, he rushed over immediately.
I don’t understand what military tactics you are discussing, but discussing knowledge and history is my strong point!
"Of course. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were two civilian men who were conscripted to do hard labor. It rained on the way and was delayed. However, the Qin law was extremely strict. This was a serious crime that required beheading. The two were in a dilemma, so they simply put their minds to one another. Heng decided to rebel..."
There is no doubt about Big Fatty's knowledge, and he immediately explained the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
Su Yang felt a little impatient and interrupted him directly.
"No need to talk about other nonsense, you only need to tell two stories."
"A 'Fish Belly Book' and a 'Fox Crying at the Campfire'."
Zhu Gaochi nodded and didn't ask too much.
"The two boys Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are also smart. In order to make everyone believe them more, they found a white silk strip, wrote the three characters "Chen Sheng Wang" on it with cinnabar, stuffed it into the strip and put it on the market The soldiers bought the fish and cut it open and found the words on the piece of silk. They were very surprised. This is the 'Fish Belly Book'!"
"Then in the middle of the night, Wu Guang secretly ran to the ruined temple near the barracks, lit a bonfire, pretended to bark like a fox, and then shouted: "Great Chu is rising, King Chen Sheng", and all the soldiers in the battalion listened. , were even more frightened and frightened. They all thought that Chen Sheng should be the king, so they were frightened and frightened by him. Chen Sheng thus established his prestige..."
After listening to Zhu Gaochi's explanation, although Zhu Di still felt at a loss, he vaguely felt that he had grasped something.
"Su Yang, what do you mean..."
"Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes. Using history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs."
Su Yang said calmly: "Although these are little tricks that can't be put on the stage, you have to admit that they are really useful!"
"What King Yan Zhu Di has to do now is to justify his actions. Although there is the Jingnan legacy left by Emperor Taizu Gao, everyone knows the specific truth and wants to surrender based on it. There are not enough soldiers in the world!"
"Jingnan's legacy is indeed true, but the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang also left a great ancestor's law, which added a restriction to this Jingnan's legacy!"
"The soldiers and the common people don't know it, but the high-level scholars know it, so Zhu Di's reason of "Fengtian Jingnan" is simply untenable!"
"Unless... at this time, the auspiciousness descends from the sky in Beiping, and it is completely confirmed that King Yan Zhu Di is the son of destiny!"
Su Yang sighed.
The people of this era are all ignorant.
In other words, not just the common people, but most people in this era are ignorant.
That's why the word "auspicious" appeared, and it even became one of the political achievements that local officials reported meritoriously!
For example, white rabbits and white deer appear in a certain place, or colorful clouds appear in a certain place, and even more exaggerated ones include "sweet springs coming out of the earth", "the sun and the moon unite" and so on.
To put it bluntly, the auspicious culture has developed to this day and has been considered a symbol of God appointing someone as the emperor!
And those in power also like the Confucian theory of "influence between heaven and man" and "divine right of kings", which is in line with their idea of "divine right of kings" and is conducive to maintaining their rule, so why not do it?
In fact, the "influence of heaven and man" and the "divine right of kings" are just methods used by emperors of all ages to fool the people in order to stabilize their rule.
After hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly became enlightened and looked at Su Yang in shock.
He knew what to do next.
But Zhu Di was a little frightened.
If Su Yang really banished an immortal, is the "divine right of kings" also true?
