Wanli Youming

Chapter 390

Chapter 390

After winning the Great Victory in Hanhai, Li Rusong returned to the imperial court directly without reason.

After all, it was still severe winter, and countless camels and horses had been damaged, and many staff had been lost. Now it was impossible to go back immediately and continue to be devastated by the wind and snow.

Li Rusong planned to use the winter supplies he had hoarded until the weather got warmer next year before returning to the court, but he only used a lot of money to persuade a small team of soldiers and horses to venture back and communicate with the court.

After Li Rusong stayed here, he began to organize people to build stone monuments, and asked the fellow Hai Rui who came with the army, Liang Yunlong, the top three Jinshi in the 11th year of Wanli, and the censor of the army:

"Liang Fengxian, have you written your meritorious essay? Once it's done, I'll let someone engrave it on it."

Liang Yunlong, who had a high fever, hurriedly took the article out of his sleeve, coughed and said:

"It's been written a long time ago, but I still got a cold because I didn't think about it, so I didn't have time to hand it over to the admiral, so I ask the admiral to correct it."

Li Rusong took it, then read it seriously, and said: "The literary talent is good, and the writing is very exciting. With the talent of Fengxian, it should not be just the top three."

"The examination will put more emphasis on Confucian classics. For a person like me who loves to learn the style of Mr. Zhenchuan (Gui Youguang), being able to win the top three Jinshi is already a great blessing from the emperor. Only by increasing the number of Jinshi by fifty can I have the opportunity to win the Toad Palace. Can be on the top list.”

Liang Yunlong said something with a smile, then coughed again.

Seeing this, Li Rusong asked someone to make a cup of hot tea for Liang Yunlong first.

Literati have always been complicated, there are all kinds of people, some are willing to surrender to the enemy and treason for their personal achievements, and some dare to take risks and go on expeditions for their personal achievements.

Liang Yuanlong was a person who dared to take risks, so he took the initiative to sign up to go out with Li Rusong as the censor of the army.

Of course, Liang Yuanlong had to do the same.

Because he was the last jinshi on the gold list in the 11th year of Wanli, if he didn't risk going out to make meritorious service, he could only start as a local magistrate, and he might never be a public minister.

Therefore, Liang Yuanlong needs to make up for his lack of imperial examinations through meritorious service.

Same as Yang Hao.

Nowadays, compared with Lide, the imperial court pays more attention to people who have made meritorious service.

The desired Jinshi invitations also began to gradually change from invitations for meritorious deeds to invitations for meritorious deeds.

The so-called Lide invitation is to prove that he is morally loyal, upright, upright, upright and not afraid of the powerful by admonishing the emperor and impeaching important officials.

Inviting a name for meritorious service is to leave a strong mark on a great achievement, so that people can't erase their name when they talk about a great achievement.

If Liang Yuanlong wanted to make a name for himself, he would naturally not have to risk his life to go to Mobei to write meritorious articles, but to leave his pen, ink and name in Hanhai. He only needs to learn from Zou Yuanbiao in history. Then impeach Xu Xuemo and other ministers.

But now this path doesn't work.

Like Yang Gao, he could only invite fame by means of meritorious service.

After all, Liang Yuanlong was a literati, so after his expedition to the vast sea, because his physique was still not as good as that of Li Rusong, and he was rude, he started to have a fever.

However, after Liang Yuanlong saw that his article was engraved on the inscription, and it was still standing on the shore of the vast sea that he had only seen in the history books, he did not regret coming this trip. If you have the opportunity to write about it here, it is enough to bury your bones here."

"Why did Fengxian say such things! It's not just about wind and cold. This dynasty's medical skills are profound, and since the reform of the medical registration system, there have been a large number of good doctors. Those who accompany the army are all good at treating diseases such as wind and cold. Fengxian will not die here forever."

"Big deal, let's stay longer and leave after May next year."

Li Rusong comforted Liang Yuanlong a few words.

Liang Yuanlong felt a little relieved, and continued to say at this moment: "Admiral, we will not leave for a while, why don't we set up a few more steles, and even bury a few in the ground, indicating that this is my emperor's land, so that even in the future Some barbarians come here to destroy the stele, but they can’t completely destroy it. If there are people who are worthy of future generations come here, or they can find it through the archive notes, and erect it again, I don’t know how you feel?”

"In addition, nowadays the Son of Heaven intends to change the old rituals and establish new ones, which means that the ritual system is more ancient and sagely, and the new rituals are intended to be courteous to the common people, and everyone should be valued by the state, so why not also include the names of the conscripts and even the cooks? Engrave it and let future generations know that they have also contributed to opening up the country?"

"Including those who died in battle and were killed on the road!"

Liang Yuanlong proposed again at this time.

"Very good!"

"When it's done!"

Li Rusong agreed with this, and immediately arranged for people to follow Liang Yuanlong's wishes.

The faces of the soldiers present were excited after hearing this.

But at this time, Li Rusong couldn't help but turned his head and said rudely to Buhe when he saw Buta's impolite name engraved on the stele: "The public should also have a Chinese name, so it will be more dignified if it is engraved here."

In this era, the Han nationality rose up among the nations of the world because of re-expelling the Tartars, and they have not died at the hands of tens of thousands of Jianzhou Jurchens as in history, and became their slaves, so it is not rude to him and the Huns in the Han Dynasty Like wanting to adopt Han people to show that they are more noble, they also want to have a Chinese name, and they are also willing to be sinicized to show that they are different from other Mongolians.

Even, because Chinese civilization in this era represents nobility, many foreigners will take the initiative to change their Chinese names, and some even envy them, but feel inferior and dare not dare because they feel that their culture is not enough.

And the reason why he didn't do this is because he didn't dare to take a Chinese name rashly for fear of offending the emperor.

So, after Li Rusong said that, he said impolitely:

"I hope that because of this achievement, I can ask the emperor to give us the country's surname, so that I can ask a famous sage to give me a Chinese name."

"Your Majesty will definitely be willing to give the country the surname Yu Gong."

After Li Rusong said something, he looked to the south.

And behind him, a large monument full of Chinese characters stands tall in the north, like a statue overlooking Lake Baikal for later generations.

……

A few months ago, a day in October of the 12th year of Wanli.

In the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty in the south, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As the night was about to snow, gusts of cold wind blew yellow leaves, and the temperature plummeted, so Zhu Yijun hid in the Warm Pavilion, wrapped in velvet clothes and guarded the copper stove, ready to watch the secret performance, and first took Li Rusong's secret performance. In the hand, looked up.

After just a few glances, Zhu Yijun's face darkened, and then he began to transcribe the list with a pen. After transcribing, he shouted: "Come here!"

Zhang Jing hurriedly walked in: "Please order the emperor!"

"According to the list, take these people, and issue an imperial edict to interrogate them for the crime of disobeying the barbarians!"

Zhu Yijun threw a handwritten letter with a list in front of Zhang Jing.

"Yes!"

Zhang Jing hurriedly picked it up from the ground, then walked backwards with the handbook in both hands.

Zhu Yijun continued to watch the secret performances of other generals, and after watching, he laughed again: "Okay, okay, what a Li Rusong, I knew that he would rectify the atmosphere in the border town!"

"return!"

But Zhu Yijun couldn't help shouting again after seeing the secret performance by Gui Jin, Jie Sheng and others.

Zhang Jing came back hurriedly: "Please order the emperor!"

"It is said that Fang will come to see me at any time!"

Zhu Yijun said something at this moment.
