Until this moment in front of him, perhaps no one can understand the true thoughts of Emperor Chongzhen, whether it is the concubines and eunuchs in the palace, or the countless civil and military ministers who are rushing to the palace.

Even the friends who single-handedly planned this matter may not be able to understand Emperor Chongzhen's current mentality, they just hope that Emperor Chongzhen can undergo the kind of changes they want to see.

Theoretically, they believe that an emperor who has lived for a period of time in the 21st century cannot return to the empire he lives in without reinventing the dying empire, and that the measures it can use to stamp are nothing more than those things learned from the 21st century.

However, the development of history is gradual, and it is impossible for him to jump directly from a feudal era to the third industrial revolution, so the supporting political and economic measures are also not applicable to the Ming Empire.

In order to prevent her from making such a mistake, the empire is ready to use the spread of religion to take a more delicate approach to the historical links she wants to change.

And all this, if he is clearly aware, it is possible that he thinks that they want to usurp control of the empire. But if you don't let him know, then it's going to be a little harder to do that.

So, turning this emperor into their follower became the best of the remaining methods.

So, Guo Jia planned this action, although he didn't know how this winning was spread, but he knew that the emperor ruled the empire, and it was impossible to do it alone, so he had a civil and military minister.

And the way these civil and military ministers helped the emperor to rule the empire was the Confucianism they studied, but many people knew it very well. Even they themselves discovered many errors in Confucianism itself.

But they didn't have much intention of correcting it, so they continued to go on their own way.

They were still prepared to use Confucian doctrine as an instrument for the emperor to rule the empire. Use them to restrain people's minds and keep them running in that mind, and there will be no rebellion.

However, this is just their whim, the times are progressing, new things are constantly emerging, and the original old order is bound to be broken. And they, who have become vested interests in the old order, do not want to see all this change, so they flock to try to prevent this change.

However, given the constraints of the old order, and the impact of their level of education underground under the old order, they do not have many measures in mind now. One of them, although the book exposes that the most powerful man in the empire, the emperor, used administrative methods to prevent this from happening.

But they don't know. The emperor's heart has changed.

In the doctrine of celestial induction, the power of the emperor is actually limited by certain means, such as. If a natural disaster occurs in a certain place, then the emperor and the senior officials in office must introspect.

The emperor cannot resign. Therefore, they can only make corrections in certain policies, and they must reflect on whether they are now evil and persecuting the common people in the empire.

However, this level of introspection is not very strict about the restriction of imperial power. In fact, a monarch like Nero is not uncommon in Chinese history.

This is also a matter of no choice, because Confucianism, on the one hand, respects the imperial power, and on the other hand, wants to limit the emperor's misdeeds, this contradictory mentality, this contradictory political demand, all make their so-called academics, become political compromises, since it has become a political compromise, then few are clean, if they have shapes, everyone in the world will say, really ugly.

However, with the recent spread of the teachings of the Datong Sect in the territory of the Ming Empire, there is no such thing.

First of all, he does not treat management as a foreign person, although they are the Son of Heaven, but everyone worships the Father. That is, the laws of development in all things in the universe, and the right to state these laws does not lie with the Son of Heaven. But it is the scientists, that is, if the Son of Heaven ignores these new laws, that is, if he disrespects his father, and at the same time, without the laws of science, it will be difficult to govern his empire.

As a result of absorbing a lot of Confucian doctrines, the teachings of Datong Religion are also very respectful of parents and also advocate filial piety. On the one hand, a compromise has to be made, after all, Confucianism has spread in the region for thousands of years, and their influence is immeasurable. On the other hand, taking the essence and removing the dross is also an important means of building a new religion, and Confucianism is not without merit, otherwise it would not be possible to ship for so many years among the wise Chinese people, even the most clever liars do not have such means.

Then, ordinary believers who still believe that filial piety is very important, if they find that the emperor does not respect their father, that is to say, does not respect the laws of this world, they are likely to carry out their own coup d'état, and not only, relying on some natural disaster as an excuse.

In view of this concern, the emperor had to think twice before taking any action.

In other words, Emperor Chongzhen, who has now changed his mind, what measures should he take now? You have to think a lot about it.

Now no one can understand his mentality, and there is a serious lack of respect for imperial power in the teachings of the Datong Sect. It is precisely without this kind of respect that it seems that the restriction on imperial power is not so important, because it spreads in the heart, the existence of the emperor is only for their well-being, and if the emperor can't do this, then the emperor should be replaced.

But he had to need the teachings of this great religion, and she needed new science and technology to make his empire strong. The danger of the destruction of the country still exists, and even if friends are helping them, their existence itself is not entirely good.

His contradictory mentality is incomprehensible to the people around him, but with the exception of a certain person, this person is, Zhu Yuanzhang.

She once sat on the throne of the emperor, and she deeply knew her importance to the empire, and she also deeply understood that every choice must be made carefully.

After a simple empathy, he already understood that the choice that Emperor Chongzhen is facing now should indeed be extremely cautious, take a step forward, the empire will usher in a new era, and the emperor's power will slowly become a nature similar to that of a servant of the people, which is a terrible change, in a short period of time? This kind of change will still have a lot of historical inertia, ensuring that it has the rights of the feudal era to some extent, but as time changes, the residual deterrence of the feudal period will slowly disappear, and they are just a person who has the obligation to help them become happy for ordinary people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the descendant in the Forbidden City, perhaps, he should go and see him. (To be continued......)
