Wu Mei's words seemed to set the tone for the future palace. At the same time, they also officially established slave Bai Chun's status in the East Palace in front of the girls in the East Palace.
Although even if Wu Mei hadn't done this in recent years, Bai Chun's status in the East Palace or even the Daming Palace would have been unmatched by no one, let alone surpassed.
But in front of the Zichen Palace, the queen, who was in charge of all matters in the harem, had such a heart-to-heart conversation with Bai Chun in front of all the princes and concubines in the East Palace. It was more like a canonization, officially establishing Bai Chun's status.
It has to be said that even Wu Mei admires Li Hong's unintentional actions at such a young age, and also admires Bai Chun's indifferent attitude.
The two went from being acquainted without fighting to fighting side by side and helping each other, and now have a tacit understanding and care for each other like a harmonious harp. However, unexpectedly, an unexpected combination of circumstances caused the East Palace harem, which should have been full of overt and covert struggles, to change due to Bai Chun's... exist and become harmonious and happy.
It is precisely because of Bai Chun's existence, especially her status that requires status but not rank, and status but not rank, that she unexpectedly became the anchor of the women in the Eastern Palace and Harem.
It was precisely because of her Bai Chun's existence that others, whether it was Pei Wanying, An Xiaohe, Chen Qinghan, Ye Yue, Yan Lingbin, etc., all lost their thoughts on competing for favor in front of Li Hong.
After all, no matter how they compete for favor, there is always a nameless and statusless Bai Chun, who often does not even live in the East Palace, but lives alone in Prince Pu's Mansion outside the imperial city, who is firmly on top of them, which makes their The fight for favor has become meaningless, because even if they become a crown princess, even if they reach a level that can be on par with the crown princess, for them, it is not as good as a nameless Bai Chun gaining favor in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Coupled with Bai Chun's innate character of not competing in worldly affairs, she has held the absolute power given by His Highness the Crown Prince from the beginning, and she has the support of the powerful Taiyi City. Both the emperor and the empress looked at her differently. In this way, Who can dare to compete with her
What's more, Bai Chun herself has made an absolute sacrifice, that is, her status as a slave. No one can persuade her to change her status. She is satisfied with her current status.
The prince's guard of honor is now indispensable for Li Hong when he goes out. He will surely ascend the throne as emperor soon. He can no longer be allowed to walk around freely and unfetteredly as before.
The fifty-person personal guard was already the bottom line that the royal family and the prince Zhan Shi could tolerate. With the addition of captain Tu Qi, Hua Meng and Jingzhe, Li Hong took Bai Chun and rode in the prince's car through Chang'an City. Heading towards Taiyi City, which I haven't been to for a long time.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, as Taoist priests who had close contacts with His Royal Highness in private, Li Chunfeng in particular, with the first great voyage two years ago, created a new world for some students of the Tang Dynasty who yearned for the sea and liked to conquer the sea. After embarking on an unprecedented voyage, his reputation has far surpassed that of Yuan Tiangang.
In the history of navigation in the Tang Dynasty, no one can compete with Li Chunfeng. Especially as other students sailed, more continents were discovered one after another, and more new species were brought back to the continent. The Tang Dynasty has truly made the Tang Dynasty a materially rich country.
As a result, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, with their respective sons, came to Taiyi City three days in advance and returned early to Cuiwei Palace, where the royal family spent the summer, and Zongsheng Palace, which was also the residence of His Royal Highness Prince Li. This is the place where Hong and his mother Wu Mei recovered from their injuries after being assassinated while visiting Zhongnan Mountain.
"Change the reign name? Change what reign name? After the prince ascends the throne, the reign name should be changed, but you said it is not the emperor's reign name, then what kind of reign name is it?" Yuan Tiangang looked at not far away In Cuiwei Palace, green smoke gradually rose, and I knew that today was the day when His Highness the Crown Prince came to Cuiwei Palace.
"It's not about changing the era name. What His Highness means is... to add a more extensive calculation method on the basis of the era name." Li Chunfeng flipped through the books in his hand, looked up at Cuiwei Palace, and said thoughtfully: "What your Highness means is that when we talk about years now, we always use era names. Even things that happened hundreds of years ago are like this. It is not easy to record, and it is even harder for other countries to accept our traditions and use our culture."
"So? How to change it? How to change it? What kind of change? These are all left by the ancestors. Will such a costly change cause others to be dissatisfied with His Highness? After all, he just changed the reign title as soon as he ascended the throne. It's a rule, but how can we change it in this era? How can it be so easy to change a tradition that has been used for thousands of years?" Yuan Tiangang looked solemn and couldn't understand why Li Chunfeng accepted the job of His Royal Highness.
It is obvious that His Highness planned to use Li Chunfeng's current reputation to build momentum among the people and scholars after he re-employed Li Chunfeng in navigation, so as to promote this novel calculation method.
"But don't you think what His Highness the Crown Prince said has some truth? Take Silla and other three countries that have now fully accepted our Chinese tradition. When they study history books, they still cannot fully integrate our chronology method, but if After His Highness is unified in this way, it will be much easier to accept emotionally. "
"What's the use of this? If you look into it carefully, wouldn't it be back to the year number in the history books? It's still not for a caring person..." Yuan Tiangang shook his head with some doubts.
"Is that still important? As long as ordinary people fundamentally accept the cultural inheritance of our Datang Dynasty, as for things in history books, now that our Datang Dynasty is convenient for writing and printing, we no longer need to copy word for word and sentence by sentence. Just brush a few Now, I can print out as many books as I want, so why worry? What’s more, when it comes to the depth of history... No one in the world has as detailed and clear records as I do in the Tang Dynasty, and whether it’s Silla, Goguryeo or Japan. , is originally connected with the culture of our Chinese nation, and is based on the foundation of our Chinese nation, with some superficial changes. Now His Highness the Crown Prince intends to restore the essence and protect the culture of our Chinese nation from being tampered with in foreign countries. It is also reasonable. It's a matter of course." Li Chunfeng closed the book, looked at the green vegetation with one hand behind his back, and his heart became filled with passion as he heard the sonorous and powerful words.
If these actions in accordance with His Highness's will can pass the test of time, a hundred years from now, looking around the Tang Dynasty, and even the entire vast world, whether it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty or independent territories, they will all have the same root and the same origin. The cultural inheritance of the source and merged into a larger "country".
And such a "kingdom" will far exceed people's current understanding, and will exceed the imagination of the world's literati, especially those who respect etiquette and respect education.
His Highness's move is definitely more effective than the swords, guns, swords and halberds on horseback, the neighing of war horses, and the rivers of blood. By then, even if the Tang Dynasty ceases to exist, even if the Song Dynasty or Zhao Dynasty appears, , no matter who the imperial power belongs to, no matter who controls this prosperous and prosperous country, but what remains the same is that in terms of cultural inheritance and tracing back to the same origin, it will all be the inheritance of the Chinese national culture. , it will be the Chinese nation that will take charge of this land and govern this people.
"But if His Highness wants to change his reign and trace his origins, it cannot be accomplished with human power alone, so this burden falls on you and me." Yuan Tiangang sighed, and he had to say that Li Chunfeng has completely changed his name over the years. He has changed, and there is a huge difference from the Li Chunfeng who had not had much contact with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Today, Li Chunfeng, including his son, and even his own son, have become the most fanatical followers of the Crown Prince. No matter whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will is right or wrong, Li Chunfeng regards it as the absolute truth.
"No, it doesn't fall on our shoulders. Human beings are so insignificant. Compared with the stars, the sea, the sky and the earth, we are just a small wave in the long river of time, an ant in the world. Your Highness needs to rely on convenience. It is the celestial phenomena above our heads, those mysterious, beautiful, and incomprehensible celestial phenomena. Only the celestial phenomena can make this new chronology accepted by people. Even the imperial power, even the sharp blade in the hand, is not as good as this celestial phenomenon. It will be easy to sort out tomorrow." Li Chunfeng looked at the blue sky above his head, but his thoughts were aimless. He wanted to break through the sky and the clouds, and look at the sky outside, the moon, and even more distant places. Does distance hide the way of heaven or the laws of man
The Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors are myths. To truly record events from the "beginning", it is necessary to conduct a lot of historical research. Whether it is bamboo slips, inscriptions on bronzes, or carvings on rocks, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and others are required. While observing the celestial phenomena at night and understanding the principles of human beings, we should understand our history, when did we start to remember it, and where should we start from to define our civilization and the origin of our Chinese nation.
Whether it is the Imperial College, the Hongwen Hall, or even the Chongwen Hall in the East Palace, a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested in it. In addition to Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, various Confucian sages headed by the King of Yin Li Dan have worked in Chang'an and Luoyang. , Jiangnan and other places began to collect more evidence that is conducive to the dating rules.
"King Yin is really working hard. He just finished working on the running fire and artillery for you at the Taiyi City Medicinal Food Room a few days ago. Now he has to start working on the chronological rules non-stop. But the King of England seems to be relaxed. A little more." Bai Chun sat on the steps of the main hall of Cuiwei Palace, his body seemed to have lost support, and he murmured tightly in Li Hong's arms.
"Li Zhe has nothing to do. In a few days, it will be time to go to the Liaodong area. The Mohe and other tribes are now becoming wiser and need guidance. However, poor mountains and rivers have always been a source of unruly people. Li Zhe is more suitable to go there than Li Dan. After all, Facing these people who have not left the tribe, it is completely useless to rely on benevolence and morality. The only way is to use the knife in your hand to make them realize... "
"Are you trying to prevent Silla and Baekje, which are closer to Japan, from secretly giving help to Japan once the Tang Dynasty navy attacks Japan? So you placed the King of England just there. Firstly, you can suppress tribes such as Mohe, and secondly, It can also deter some dissidents in Silla and Baekje, so that they dare not extend a helping hand to Japan secretly?" Bai Chun raised his delicate chin and looked at Li Hong and asked.
"Why are you so smart? You've already seen this. Give me a kiss as a reward."
