The second day of the first lunar month.
Zhu Yunwen summoned Xie Jin, Xu Huizu, and Chen Di in Wuying Hall.
After the three people sat down, Zhu Yunwen went straight to the topic and said: "On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Taizu founded the country, and the country was named Daming. In two days, it will be the thirty-second year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. I want to set up a National Day celebration This festival is an eternal tradition and we celebrate it with the people. What do you think, my dear friends?"
"National Day?"
Xu Huizu was in a daze.
I think back to my father, Xu Da, how glorious he was back then. In troubled times, he established the Ming Dynasty and achieved supreme feats! If a festival is set up on the founding day of the country to commemorate the difficulties of founding the country and highlight the grace of the fathers, it will be a strategy that will win the hearts of the people.
only……
Xie Jin marveled at Zhu Yunwen's idea. Since ancient times, although there has been National Day, it is just "celebrating with the country". There is no fixed date. It may be the day when the emperor ascends the throne, or it may be a celebration triggered by some major event. The birth of a festival has never happened since ancient times.
But you don’t need to think about it carefully to know the benefits.
"Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible! And it must be vigorously implemented! Whether it is the capital, provinces, prefectures or counties, wherever there are people from my Ming Dynasty, we should celebrate and congratulate on the same day!"
Xie Jin replied solemnly.
Xie Jin is very clear that once the National Day is engraved in the hearts of Ming Dynasty people, Ming Dynasty will be unprecedentedly united. And a united nation and empire will burst out with unparalleled cohesion.
Chen Di, the Minister of Rites, clapped his hands and praised, saying: "I agree to explain to the ministers that the National Day should be established all over the world. Although it is a little hasty this year, it is still too late in the capital. Take advantage of the new trend of Yuan Dynasty, otherwise it will be better than today. Prepare an edict and announce it to the world."
Xu Huizu stood up, his face became serious, and said: "Your Majesty, I support this policy, but there are some things I would like to say."
Zhu Yunwen nodded warmly, raised his hand and said: "Sit down and talk. The monarch and his ministers should be honest. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Xu Huizu sat down and said seriously: "National Day is the birthday of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be said without words. I think that I can imitate the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty and spread the martial arts of Taizu and the founding civil servants to the world."
Xie Jin frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Xu Huizu looked at Zhu Yunwen with some struggle in his eyes.
As Xie Jin said, there would be no problem in following the example of the Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion and promoting it if Zhu Yuanzhang implemented it at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
But now is the year of Jianwen, not the year of Hongwu!
How to promote it?
Tell the world that these heroes made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but their end was to be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang?
So how do people talk about Zhu Yuanzhang?
Do you still want the majesty of the founding emperor of the Ming Empire?
Also, did some of the heroes die innocently, or were they unjustly, falsely and wrongly convicted? Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to be a traitor. As soon as Zhu Yunwen took over Zhu Yuanzhang's seal of power, he said he was a hero?
When the time comes, will the people in the world believe in Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Yunwen?
Some things cannot be commented publicly!
Xie Jin understood this truth, and also knew that Xu Huizu wanted to use the National Day to bring justice to his ancestors!
Although Xu Da died a good death, who did not deserve credit, such as Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Wang Bi who died due to being implicated in the Lan Yu case, and Liao Yongzhong who died due to "misusing dragon and phoenix"?
Who is not unjustly accused? !
Xu Huizu, as the number one martial artist, had this intention, which was right, but also unrealistic.
Xu Huizu lowered his head dejectedly, knowing that his thoughts were just delusions. The royal family was not at fault, and the monarch was not at fault. No matter how those people died, they could never be vindicated.
We can only settle the injustice of the grave and let the vegetation on the grave wither. Their descendants must also bear this burden, living in a humble and humble manner, enduring the contempt of others.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xu Huizu and knew that this matter was very involved.
In other words, redress is a small matter but publicity is a big deal.
You know, although I am Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, there are still a lot of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. His grandsons speak ill of his grandfather all over the world. Can those uncles sit back and do nothing for the sake of their father?
Maybe the guy will be kidnapped and headed straight to the capital in the next two days.
At that time, when the world is in chaos, how can we carry out economic and construction work?
After all, the new army strategy at this time has not been widely promoted to the entire army. The control of the guards by King Ning, King Gu, King Su, and King Qing cannot be underestimated. This matter cannot be implemented before the strategic purpose of softly reducing the vassal is completed. .
"Wei Guogong, I promise you that we will solve it within ten years. If you do this too hastily, it will easily cause harm to your body. You need to take care of it slowly."
Zhu Yunwen said solemnly.
Xu Huizu burst into tears. If this matter could be solved while he was still alive, then even if he died, he could still smile and go see his ancestors and martyrs gloriously! Xu Huizu stood up, knelt down solemnly, and shouted: "On behalf of all the nobles, I would like to thank the emperor for his grace."
There was some worry in Xie Jin's eyebrows. Ten years seemed like a long time, but it was not easy to accomplish this.
Zhu Yunwen personally helped Xu Huizu, sighed, and said: "The Fifth Army Governor's Office will draw up a list and submit it to the cabinet for approval. The Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate money and food, and those who have been assigned will be transferred back to the capital to settle down well. "
"emperor!"
Xu Huizu was deeply moved.
In the case of Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, he was not only forced by Zhu Yuanzhang to kill his two sons, but also committed suicide in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang did not spare Fu Youde's family, and sent his men, women, and children to Liaodong and Yunnan. Waiting places.
Although Zhu Yunwen had previously issued an edict to redress unjust imprisonment, when officials acted, no one dared to touch important figures in some "major cases" and "iron cases" and only dealt with some peripheral grievances that were less involved.
Now that Zhu Yunwen has spoken personally, although the important minister Wu Xun who died in the "Blue Jade Case" and other major cases has not yet been vindicated, he can at least return to a normal life and no longer has to suffer in the wilderness guarding the border.
Zhu Yunwen sat down and said: "Xu Aiqing is right. National Day cannot be said without words. A group of people are only happy but don't know why they are happy and who they are excited for. This is inappropriate. Chen Aiqing, please order the Imperial College to compile The life of Taizu begins with the birth of Taizu and ends with the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Write to me the heroes of the Ming Dynasty and spread it to the world."
"I have only two requirements for writing this book. One, it must be true, and the other, it must be popular. It must be understandable by all literate people and understandable by all illiterate people."
"I accept the decree!"
Chen Di happily accepted the order.
Xu Huizu was grateful. In this way, he would live up to the blood shed by his ancestors on the battlefield and live a heroic life.
Zhu Yunwen picked up the tea bowl, looked at the mark on the tea bowl, and suddenly asked: "What is the national flag of our Ming Dynasty?"
"Flag?"
Xie Jin, Xu Huizu and Chen Di were stunned.
"Your Majesty, the flag officers in the army know what the national flag is."
Xu Huizu asked cautiously.
"What about the national emblem and the national anthem?"
"Well, may I ask Your Majesty, what is the national emblem and what is the national anthem?"
The knowledgeable and talented scholar Jie Jinjie was also confused.
Zhu Yunwen was very depressed. The Ming Empire did not have the three major elements of its founding, including the national flag, the national emblem, and the national anthem. Instead, they pitched a tent of feelings and shouted "Long Live Long Live." The Ming Empire was established with a bang?
That's too hasty!
