Zhu Yuanzhang not only proclaimed himself king, but also proclaimed himself emperor. What kind of country will this man with a cadre program build and how will he govern it? Throughout the ages, mountains and rivers have taken turns. Will Zhu Yuanzhang go down in history like those emperors in ancient times? Zhu Yuanzhang was no ordinary emperor. His origins, entrepreneurship and governance are all unusual. All of this has a strong personal stamp on it. Let’s see what kind of country Zhu Yuanzhang wants to build. Everything was to become emperor, but on this day he pretended to make concessions three times. Just when Xu Da led his troops on the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the conditions for him to ascend the throne were ripe. Although we have not yet occupied Dadu, Emperor Yuan Shun has not yet. t abdicate and it's right around the corner. He wanted to announce to the world that he was the emperor. Occupying the supreme position of orthodoxy will advance his career more quickly, stabilize and consolidate his career more quickly. In the patriarchal society of ancient China's autocratic monarchy, one thing was the most hypocritical, and that was the three concessions given by the emperor before he ascended the throne. What are the gifts of three concessions? People who want to be emperor have been thinking about it for several years and decades. Everyone knows this. But before they take the throne, they must put on a show, saying that it is not my will, but my destiny, the people's support, and for the overall situation. This is a recommendation for everyone's results. I was forced to take the throne, but I had to do it once, twice, twice.
This kind of three concessions is a gesture. It is actually to show the legitimacy of his accession to the throne. He takes this opportunity to declare that his regime and his throne are given by God and promoted by his subjects. They are reasonable. obtained legally. When Wang Xiaoming and Xiahou died in July of the first year of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, his main adviser Li Shanchang was the first to come out to persuade him. In his book of persuasion, he writes. The heroes in the four directions have disappeared, and people near and far must return to their hearts to see where their destiny lies. May you be restored to your throne soon and comfort the hopes of your subjects. Now, almost all the heroes in the four directions have been eradicated, and people near and far are in your heart, which shows where destiny lies. I hope that you, Prince Wu, will give yourself a suitable title as soon as possible to comfort everyone! This is my first advice. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the time was not yet ripe and said: The trend of great unification has not yet been achieved, and the road to the four directions is still unclear. Many places are still in chaos! It has not yet been unified. The previous emperors had to be humble again and again when they knew that destiny was coming. If I really get the favor of fate, then why bother? Now I only control a corner of the world, and it's not the time to take the throne. He refused. This is a concession. By December, five months had passed. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's conditions were more mature than before. Victory was achieved in the north and south directions of the battlefield. Yingcheng is preparing to ascend the throne: the new almanac of the Wushen year and the Tatong calendar has been promulgated, new laws and decrees have been promulgated, and the emperor's court clothes and official greetings from the concubines have been prepared. The emperor's enthronement etiquette was also practiced many times. Many people thought that Zhu Yuanzhang could ascend the throne at this time, so on December 11, Li Shanchang once again led the civil and military officials to persuade them to make progress. This form of encouraging business is similar to the last one, but more detailed: entrepreneurship is a map of a prosperous age; Tianshun people should be Zheng Dajun’s treasure.
When the sun rises, the sun rises. The emperor is a person who covers the people in order to educate the people. The emperor is a person who convinces people with virtue. His Highness Qin Wei is brave, wise and talented. Sweep away the dust of Liuhe and save Zhao Min from water and fire. The world is about to perish, just like the Jiang and Han dynasties; the domain is like a dragon, and the golden soup is solid. If you're on the bow, you're in the palace. Answer Tianxin and follow the expectations of others. I I'm a good minister, etc., and I'm eager to convince. Legal and political affairs official, counselor of education; ritual and music system created eternal peace. I want to give you some advice. —Records of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty But Zhu Yuanzhang still did not accept it. He humbly said that my merits are shallow and I am not enough to bear the heavy responsibility of the emperor. Because I want to be an emperor and benefit all the people. Do I have such great ability now? No. So I can I haven't become emperor yet. He must again listen to his ministers. These people in Li Shanchang knew it very well, so they kowtowed again and said: Now you are born to be a saint of the people. If you don't occupy a big position, who will lead everyone to eliminate the riots and save the people? Only His Highness Prince Wu Can leads everyone to eliminate the turmoil, save the people, help the people, and stabilize the world. If His Highness Prince Wu still does not agree, we will be asking for trouble. We will die in your presence today. Very determined. Tips: Born to be a virtuous person, I think I am a citizen. If you don't have a big position, how can you comfort all the people in the world? Today, in addition to rioting, saving people, and contributing to the universe, His Highness is sincere to the German Heaven and Earth Society where his destiny lies. I dare you to die. - Records of Ming Taizu On the second day, Li Shanchang and others once again led officials to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that His Highness has the virtue of humility. Everyone knows that the gods are moved by it. I hope you will agree to your officials' request for the sake of the people.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: Since it is God's will and man's request, and you have invited me again and again, then I am willing to listen to public opinion, and I will reluctantly listen to you! However, this matter is of great importance and must be done solemnly and not hastily. Please consider and agree to all etiquette. So he ordered Liu Ji to choose an auspicious day. Which day did Liu Ji choose? He chose the fourth day of the first lunar month and the fourth day of the second year. However, the day he chose was often cloudy in December. If it was still cloudy on the fourth day of the first lunar month when he ascended the throne, wouldn't it be a bit ominous? Is it possible that the clouds will clear that day? Zhu Yuanzhang and Xia Hou_ felt a little uneasy.
On December 22 of the first year of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang moved to the new palace and at the same time offered sacrifices to the emperor, saying: On the fourth day of the first lunar month next year, set up an altar under the sun in Zhongshan to tell the emperor that Jane is in his heart. If I can live for democracy, when the emperor comes on the day of sacrifice, the sky will be clear; if I can, I will tell you when the time comes. It was windy and the scenery was different. —Records of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty If God thinks that I can be the leader of the people, it will be a sunny day. If not, abnormal weather will occur. Let me know. Of course, the weather was expected to be good when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, but it had been cloudy and snowing since the day of the sacrifice. He waited uneasily. A day or two passed, and it rained and snowed for ten consecutive days. On the first day of the first lunar month, the snow suddenly stopped, and Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a particularly good mood, and the whole city was permeated with a festive atmosphere. Surrounded by the large honor guard, Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the altar in the suburbs. At that time, there was a suburban altar in Nanjing. This altar was not separated like the later altars of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. Instead, heaven and earth were worshiped together.
When I arrived at the Jiaotan altar, I told the world that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to ascend the throne. This is a rare good weather day early in the morning. When the etiquette officer was performing the provincial sacrifice ceremony and counting the sacrifices, he saw dark clouds and bright sunshine. The dark clouds dispersed and the sun was shining brightly. When I was about to ascend the throne, the sky was clear, the stars and latitudes were clear, and there were no clouds in the sky. Even the stars in the distance could be seen clearly. The weather is fine, indicating that God recognizes Zhu Yuanzhang as a living democracy. Everyone is happy. The enthronement ceremony was successfully held. Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing a royal crown on his head, led the prime minister and other generals to salute north and south at the suburban altar, and reported to the sky that he would be famous in the world, Ming Dynasty, Jianyuan Hongwu. The name of the new dynasty is Ming, and the name of the new emperor is Hongwu. From then on, a new dynasty began! After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he led the prince and his son to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the four generations of ancestors. It used to be said that when a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, officials shouted long live Zhu Yuanzhang, and he became the Ming Hongwu Emperor. At the same time, his four ancestors, great-grandparents, grandparents and parents, must be named emperor and empress. Zhu Yuanzhang is a visionary man. He ascended the throne, but he did not lose his mind. The next day, he told the officials around him: At the beginning of starting a business, it was really difficult, but. This has been done since. I dare to have a full meal and forget about the hard work! On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I held a big banquet at Fengtian Temple, and then downloaded samuraisacrament for the second time, saying that I lived in heaven, traveled all over the world, and there were many people. He was in a state of mourning, sleeping in the middle of the night with his thoughts on his mind. Taishi Gong Liu Ji couldn't help but persuade him: "You know? The past is undecided. It is too troublesome, so don't worry. Today, there is only one family in the world, so it is better to relieve their troubles.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not disagree with me. I said: People living in the world should worry about the world; if you are in a country, you should worry about a country; if you live in a family, you should worry about you. family. He said that his whole body is too small compared to this world. If a person can't walk well, he may fall. If he doesn't eat well, he will get sick. What's more, he was carrying the weight of the world, so how could he forget the fear of the police for a moment? He felt a heavy burden, so he should not forget his vigilance and fear immediately. He said to himself, and also to his ministers: We must be concerned about the world and the country, and be vigilant and cautious at all times in order to maintain long-term peace and stability in the world. In the first year of Hongwu, Fujian and Guangdong were successfully pacified. In March of the second year, the army crossed the Yellow River and entered Shaanxi and Ke County. On the eighth day of April in the third year of Wu, Xu Da broke through the Tiemur Pass in Shen'er Valley in the north of Dingxi County, Gansu, and captured more than 1,800 officers. There were 80,000 soldiers and more than 5,000 horses. Kuotimur only took his wife to Helin in the north. So, from the west of Hezhou, Tubo, Duogan, Uzang and other tribes joined.
