Chapter 199: Confucianism and the God-Making Movement (Part II)

On April 16, the fourth year of Jianwen, the city of Nanjing was already full of Neo-Confucian believers from half of the Ming Dynasty, including scholars, officials, ordinary people, and merchants, with nearly 3,000 people.

Originally, the number of people who were going to make a pilgrimage to Nanjing through this scholarly movement had exceeded 100,000, but the city of Nanjing was really unable to live, and it was impossible for Zhu Yunwen to repatriate all the big guys at this time, so he had to let half of the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing vacate for them to live in.

As for the original Beijing battalion soldiers, they had to squeeze in.

At the same time, of these hundreds of thousands of people, Zhu Yunwen even gave food and clothing from the official warehouse and the government treasury, which made the big guy cheer and be grateful even more.

And these 3,000 people in the city of Nanjing, with their infinite admiration and love for Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, celebrated the destruction of the 'opposition' and the 'old Confucian Party' headed by the Confucian family and Fang Xiaoru, celebrated the Universal Qingming Dynasty, and celebrated the final victory of their 'orthodoxy' in this ideological movement.

Indirectly, the price of liquor stores in Nanjing rose sharply during this period.

Also in the evening of this day, Zhu Yunwen summoned more than 20 people, including Hu Guang, Xu Buji, Yang Zhengli, and Li Rui, representatives of the scholars' movement, in the Fengtian Temple, and Yang Shiqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, accompanied him.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

What is the ultimate victory?

For these new Confucians, the final victory is not the destruction of the three holes, let alone the beheading of the opposition who fought with them for several months in the Qiushi newspaper, but the fact that they set foot in this Fengtian Temple and met the emperor Zhu Yunwen whom they have been worshipping for several months, this is the final victory!

You can face the saint, you can wait for the reward with peace of mind, this is the final victory.

All the opposition is dead, the whole world is now unanimous, even if there are still different opinions, do those people dare to stand up and speak now? There are no different voices, so does it matter if those people exist or not?

The whole world is an unswerving imperial party, and anyone who refutes or questions the emperor's decisions and ideas is a heretic who will be killed!

"Get up, take a seat."

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Zhu Yunwen was happy in his heart, and he wanted to thank these people for their existence. Among this group of people, there are those who have really been brainwashed and regard him, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, as a believer, and there are also dark factions who are simply trying to grab political dividends through this movement, but no matter which faction they are, they have all contributed to him Zhu Yunwen.

Their role was countless times greater than that of the millions of strong armies of the Ming Dynasty.

"You are the Ming Dynasty and my humerus."

After greeting these people with a smile, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "Double happiness, announce the edict." ”

Shuangxi, who was standing next to Zhu Yunwen, responded, took out a silk silk and unfolded it, and read it aloud. The general content is to congratulate the Neo-Confucianists who have waged a courageous struggle against the Confucian family, the Fang Xiaoru Party, and other 'chaotic parties' who have betrayed the nation and disobeyed the monarch's father, and have won the final victory, and affirmed the achievements and political correctness of the Neo-Confucianism.

Hu Guang, Xu Buji and other Shilin deputies who performed well in this struggle were all rewarded, and some of them became four-rank officials, and the worst ones were also mixed with the eighth-rank and ninth-grade officials in one place, and the total number of people who received the rewards of additional officials was as high as more than 380 people!

The faces of the more than twenty people all showed ecstasy, because they, the main leaders of the provincial capitals, the worst one also mixed with the Qipin County Order.

Whether this group of people will be officials or not, Zhu Yunwen knows in his heart, most of them will not!

But it doesn't matter, it won't be good.

A blank piece of paper is the best rendering, it doesn't matter if you can't be an official, he Zhu Yunwen will teach it personally!

These people are all pure diehards, regardless of whether they are fake or not, at least on the surface they are pure-blooded emperors, and that is enough. They can't be officials, so it's good to take Zhu Yunwen's thoughts as a policy program.

Maintaining a high degree of consistency with the center in terms of thinking is far more pleasing to the center than if you were to be an official yourself.

"Since the establishment of your Neo-Confucianism, has the academic system been constructed?"

As soon as Zhu Yunwen's words came out, the big guys were a little embarrassed.

How can you have your own academic system?

Except for a few slogans, some nonsense that is now completely useless after the victory, where is there anything?

Everyone is embarrassed to copy the doctrines of the party that they have branded as 'old Confucianism', so the current so-called new Confucianism is just an empty shelf.

As soon as he saw this scene, Zhu Yunwen laughed in his heart, this is the situation he wants to see.

What Neo-Confucianism learns, what it uses, and what it uses to govern the country, the best thing is that there is nothing like what is in front of you.

"I have some ideas here, you can learn from them."

The emperor almost called the bones of these more than 20 people crispy, and nodded busily like pounding garlic.

"Listen to Your Majesty's Hadith."

The first program of their new Confucianism is to unswervingly obey the instructions of the emperor.

"Before I talk about my thoughts, let's talk about the composition of your new Confucians."

The words changed abruptly, but Zhu Yunwen changed his mind: "Since the Neo-Confucian scholarship was proposed, a large number of people who are highly consistent with you in ideology have joined in, right?" ”

What is the basis for the establishment of Neo-Confucianism? Isn't it the old Confucianism that was defeated by relying on language to encourage the people to storm the official office, and the three holes that were crushed? To put it mildly, this is 'peaceful rebellion'. Without this group of people, who accounted for more than ninety percent of the number of the Great Movement, how could they afford such a big wave with a group of powerless pens?

Hearing Zhu Yunwen ask, Na Xu Buji stood up.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. As long as we believe that Your Majesty is the co-master of heaven and earth, and that I am the only hero of the Ming Dynasty today, that is, my friends and classmates who are ideologically consistent with me, and naturally they are also supporters of our Neo-Confucianism, then we are naturally willing to accept them, and we will not resist their participation because of their education level and professional nobility. ”

Without relying on this people, what would they use to achieve this ultimate victory?

Seeing Xu Buji say this, Zhu Yunwen knew that all the goals of this big movement he secretly set off had been achieved.

"You are the Xu Buji Xu Wenxian in Changshu County?"

When Fang Cai was happy to announce the edict, he read this Xu Buji's name reward, and the latter walked out of the train to thank him, and Zhu Yunwen wrote down this face.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to have heard of his reputation, Xu Buji was so excited that he couldn't help himself: "Back to Your Majesty, it's grass... It is the minister. ”

He wanted to talk about the grass people, but when he thought that he was now the right senator of the General Administration, he immediately changed his words.

"I listened to all your articles and your words in Changshu and Suzhou Mansion, and they were very well written."

Zhu Yunwen first encouraged Wen Yan, and then said, "I remember that you once said such a paragraph.

The armor of the soldiers is forged by the craftsmen.

The food supply is the ploughing of the people.

The things of gold and silver are paid by the merchants.

The foundation of the great world is all the people of the world.

None of these things have anything to do with the old Confucianism, am I not mistaken? ”

Xu Buji nodded again and again: "That's true, Your Majesty has every opportunity, and it is really an honor to still remember the minister's humble views." ”

"I think what you said makes a lot of sense, so my thoughts are actually very consistent with what you said. And your words can be condensed and can be incorporated into your Neo-Confucian academic thoughts. ”

Zhu Yunwen leaned back, and his fingers tapped lightly on the case: "Among the new Confucians, there are Shinong and industrial and commercial enterprises, and the foundation of the great world before you is the people of the world." It can be said that it makes people all over the world feel empowered. Without you scholars preaching and encouraging you in ideology and culture, where would all living beings in the world understand this truth? If it weren't for the fact that your words were indeed a wise saying, where would the people of the world be willing to follow you?

Because they follow you, and because of your unity, they have destroyed the old Confucians. And you are all the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, because you are all unswerving doers, your victory is the rational evidence that hard work triumphs over empty talk, you interpret the importance of practice with your behavior, and my point of view is only eight words: empty talk is misleading the country, and hard work is prosperous. ”

Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country!

The eight words that came out of Zhu Yunwen's mouth were concise and to the point, making the Fengtian Hall silent, and then their eyes lit up.

The emperor has a point.

"Scholars spread culture, teach and read, this is ideological work, without the leadership of culture, the people of the world do not know where to struggle.

The people plough the land and farm, so that we can have food to eat, and if people don't eat, they will have no strength, and then they will not be able to realize it.

Merchants transported goods from north to south, coordinated materials from east to west, prospered the locality, and promoted development, which made the daily life of the people convenient.

And the craftsman is inventing and creating for my Ming Dynasty, without swords, guns, swords, halberds, how can the sons of the Ming Dynasty be able to repeatedly build and open up the territory in the frontier?

Without a rake, how would the people plow?

Without printing, how could a scholar read?

How can a merchant do business without a chariot?

Therefore, whether it is a scholar, an agriculturalist, an industrialist, or a businessman, they are all making our Daming strong through their own efforts, which is the power of hard work! ”

Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists, and at this moment, he seemed to be possessed.

"Governing the country cannot solve everything by relying on Zi Yue alone, barbarians will not surrender on their knees because of Zi Yue, and seeds will not take root and sprout because of Zi Yue.

I'm very relieved, you saw this, you thought of this, and then united the big guys, so, you won. Those thieves who would only rely on the so-called sage words were executed. ”

Although I vaguely feel that something is wrong, what the emperor said seems to be very reasonable?

The big guys are a little confused, they haven't thought about it so much before they got into trouble.

Why do you always feel that there is a hole in the emperor's words?

Are there pits? Of course there are pits!

There is no better opportunity than this opportunity, Zhu Yunwen wants to take this opportunity to break the gap between the four classes of Shinong, industry and commerce, and then take the opportunity of Neo-Confucianism to tolerate everything, and the world is taxed!

The day is not far off when the officials and gentry will receive food in one piece.

"I'm glad you can have this kind of awareness."

Zhu Yunwen's face flushed with excitement: "I unswervingly believe that with you humerus pillars to assist me, the future of Daming will be even more brilliant!" On that day, I will hold a grand commendation meeting for you! I will give you honors and knighthoods. ”

Throw the flatbread out first, whether you can eat it or not, that's a matter for later.

But the importance of this piece of cake is extremely great, don't you see that the eyes of these more than 20 people are red?

Knighthood?

Isn't this an honor that only martial artists have? These unranked talents thought that their future was dull in their lives, but they took this opportunity not only to become officials, but also to hope for the future to be a prince and celebrate with the country?

"Your Majesty's grace is mighty, and the ministers will die without grace!"

"And, there's."

Zhu Yunwen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, performing his great skills as an emperor at this moment.

"In order to celebrate your victory this time, I have decided to hold a big military parade for you in this imperial city of Nanjing, and invite you to come to watch the ceremony, and come and see our Ming athletes with me, and the date is set for the first day of the fifth month. On this day, I will also set a festival for him, so that when future generations come to this day, they will always remember your victory this time, and commemorate your meritorious achievements for the Ming Dynasty and our nation! ”

Rebellion is not guilty, rebellion is justified!

The rebellion has gone down in history, and it will be remembered for centuries!

In the area of relying on material things to win people's hearts, he Zhu Yunwen has never been stingy with rewards, and these things he rewarded are just worthless vanity, but they are exactly the crazy pursuit of people all over the world in this era.

More than 20 people buried their heads deep in the ground, and many of them even cried excitedly.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Zhu Yunwen and Yang Shiqi glanced at each other, and both the monarch and the minister laughed.

He is a god in the eyes of the new Confucians, so let them taste the sweetness of God's grace.

Those who worship him will be loved for generations, and those who turn their backs on him will be stinking for ten thousand years.

In addition to the grace of the gods, there is also the power of the gods.

Using Neo-Confucianism to integrate the Ming Dynasty, the biggest advantage of the imperial system is that it is far beyond people's imagination. If this emperor is mythologized again, then more than 60 million people of the Ming Dynasty can be held in their hands like fists.

Hit it out hard!

In this world, no nation or country can bear it!
