CHAPTER XXXVIII

The way civil officials seized power was to exaggerate the peace, implying that the world should now be put into storage, and it was time for the horses to be put in Nanshan.

Then military spending should be reduced. The power of the Privy Council should also be limited. These factors of instability should be transferred to a more secure civilian clique.

Don't look at it, the military generals are majestic when they fight outside, but on top of the real political-struggle, Yang Hong, Guo Deng and others are not opponents of the Chinese officials of the DPRK.

Therefore, on the Xungui side, as long as you can fight, it is the greatest justice, and the rest of the things will be said separately.

Not to mention, the current political environment forces Xungui to move closer to the emperor, just talking about the Nanyang War, this is enough for Xungui to surrender to Zhu Qizhen.

Xungui said so.

Most of the courtiers below saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

At this time, the rhythm of the entire meeting shifted to Zhu Qizhen's hands.

In fact, this is also the current situation of the imperial court.

Although the Ming Dynasty is not Zhu Qizhen's Yiyan Hall, it is almost the same, and most of the courtiers do not dare to directly confront Zhu Qizhen.

That is to say, there are many great Confucians among the people, who take the way of Zhu Zi as their life and Xue Xuan as the leader, which is the main force of opposition.

Zhu Qizhen's gaze swept over Wang Shu.

Wang Shu's eyes lowered his eyelids slightly, and his gaze swept over him. With a slight sigh in his heart, he stepped out to replace Qiu Jun and said: "The minister thinks that if you want to seek the world of great harmony, you must first ask for it, the heart of the ancient sage." ”

"The ancients thought that the world was based on the troubled times, and the peaceful world was promoted to the peaceful world. And the great world that His Majesty desires should be after the peaceful world. Emperor Taizu was born at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the heroes were divided, the people were poor, the people were not happy, the upper and lower places were lost, the monarchs and ministers were lost, this internal according to the troubled times, Taizong Xiong rose from the inside, saw the internal and external troubles, several Northern Expeditions, so that His Majesty, three battles, chased in the extreme west, this is the world of Shengping.

Now, there is no foreign country, there is no major trouble inside, the world is peaceful, although there are occasional natural disasters, but the power of the court is enough to compensate, this is a peaceful world. ”

"People do not suffer from lack of talent, but they suffer from lack of ambition. If it is true of man, so is it of the country. Mencius Yun: 'If you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish, and then you will be born in sorrow and die in peace.' And today, under Chengping, it seems that there is no immediate worry, but it must not be worried about the distant trouble. ”

"Therefore, Your Majesty's words are in line with today's use, when Taizu was in the time of the Emperor, he could not seek the world of great harmony, and when he was in the time of Taizong, he could not seek the world of great harmony, and it was the right time to seek the world of great harmony in the time of the emperor."

"However, Datong cannot be done quickly, and the minister thinks that the first is well-off, and then Datong."

"Knowing etiquette and knowing the etiquette, wanting to seek great harmony, first asking the people to have no hunger and cold, and no regrets about health and death, this is a well-off world. Then seek the world of great harmony. ”

Zhu Qizhen also sighed in his heart, in fact, it is also the word well-off, Daming

The well-off and the well-off sought by later generations are actually two concepts.

Even the most radical theoreticians of the Ming Dynasty just wanted the people to be fed and clothed, not to starve to death, not to freeze to death.

If someone can count the most deaths during the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen is sure that the most decisive plan is not to die in battle, not to die of disease, but to die of starvation and freezing.

There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death.

Some people think that this is an exaggeration, but in fact, it is the most realistic white drawing.

Zhu Qizhen's gaze swept over many people.

This is the idea of the Meiji state that he wanted to erect, which is now the fifth theory.

But can you stand up here? But it's a problem.

Wu and Bi fell into a deep groan at the moment, how could he not see that what Qiu Jun and Wang Shu said was just one inside and one outside, and they were in the same system as each other.

Wu Youbi said secretly: "This is from the Ram Sect." ”

The ram faction is the most radical faction among the Confucian factions, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the ram faction actually made a great effort, which directly led to the decline of the ram faction.

Wu and Bi did not feel very comfortable with this doctrine.

The reason is that this is not the same way as science at all.

If you really want to elaborate, science is the inner saint and the outer king, and the fifth generation is the outer king and the inner saint.

The inner saint is the inner moral cultivation, and the outer king is the rule and the real action.

Confucianism originally emphasized that the inner saint and the outer king, and the inner benevolence can be practiced in order to practice benevolent government. It's a before and after process. This is especially true in the sciences.

Gewu Zhizhi is sincere and right-minded, these are all inner saints, and the Qi family rules the country and the world, and these are all foreign kings.

From this logic, we can understand why Confucianism first values education, because Confucianism believes that only when a person is called a good person can he do good deeds.

This logic still deeply affects the Chinese, and many times, people evaluate some people and some things, and they still have to understand from the perspective of whether he is a good person.

Now, the so-called Fifth World Theory, fundamentally, is to put the people in a situation where they have no worries about food and clothing, and then pursue their moral level.

Don't underestimate the difference between before and after.

In Confucianism, there are two heavens and the earth.

Although Wu Youbi was sleek, he also got up and spoke first.

It's just that someone is one step ahead of Wu and Bi. It's none other than Xue Xuan.

However, Xue Xuan is not talking about this problem, but the problem of the rule of the ancients. Xue Xuan said: "If you want to seek the rule of Datong, you must seek the rule of the three kings and five emperors, and you want the heart of the three kings and five emperors, not to ask for external things, there were natural disasters in ancient times, but the people have no complaints, and today's things are not in the people's adequacy and insufficiency, but in the lack of people's hearts, not in the breadth of the fields, but in the hearts of the people."

If it is not governed, the minister thinks that His Majesty will greatly promote education, so that the people will know reason and abide by etiquette, then the people will be able to govern, and the world of Datong can also be obtained. ”

"And what Your Majesty has done is the opposite of what you want, and you want to be governed by great harmony, how can you get it?"

The three kings and five emperors are the three kings of Yao Shunyu, and there are many sayings about the five emperors. I won't talk about it here.

Zhu Qizhen's eyes swept over the audience, and he also saw that many ministers agreed with this.

Educating the people has always been the first priority of Confucian ministers, and the first way to govern the country and the localities.

However, the theories put forward by Zhu Qizhen are a series of solutions to the problems of hunger and cold, and to solve the problems of livelihood, which have nothing to do with education.

It's not that these ministers are all people who don't eat minced meat. Rather, they are used to such a life.

Although in Zhu Qizhen's view, almost every winter there are dozens of starvation deaths on the streets of Beijing, and sometimes hundreds of starvations, although such a thing is a miserable thing, it is also a normal thing.

In their opinion, today's Daming is the best day in the past one or two hundred years.

Although there are still many bandits everywhere, although in many places, the law can only be enforced in the county seat. But when the Han and Tang dynasties were prosperous before, was there any difference from now?

Where is there a world where people do not starve to death at all.

Therefore, whether it is Datong or Xiaokang, in their view, it is essentially a goal, a pie. Not for implementation. In this way, it is better to pay more attention to the specific administrative means of the emperor.

From the words of Qiu Jun and Wang Shu. They heard a lot of things, what to do in the South Seas, immigrants, etc., and that's it. If it is determined that the Ming Dynasty will take this idea as the governing program.

In the next decade or so, their workload will increase significantly.

The emperor himself was a man who could not be idle. But Baiguan is not.

People are inert.

This is especially true for the bureaucracy, which itself is most afraid of change. Xue Xuan also said what they were willing to say, isn't it good for everyone to educate on the ground?

Cultivating talents to make a difference, or jointly establishing two academies, is not it a political achievement.

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "I have to consider the indoctrination, but the indoctrination I want is different from theirs." ”

Zhu Qizhen is ready to take a step forward and include the matter of indoctrination in the future. But it doesn't mean that he is now giving in to Xue Xuan, Xue Xuan directly equated the world of Datong with the ancient world.

In this way, Zhu Qizhen was greatly restricted.

Zhu Qizhen built the world of Datong, and he had to do it according to the actions of the three kings and five emperors of ancient times that Confucianism fictionalized. How is this possible?

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said: "Qing also admits that in the "Book of Shang", there may be mistakes, what is the rule of the three kings in ancient times? ”
