Chapter 471: The Way to Cure the Root Cause
The matter of Taimiao...... Why don't I remember? Zhu Houxi seemed to smile, "Fang Shangshu, what is your motion?" ”
Fang Xianfu almost fell down...... Your Majesty, you know that you have gone too far, don't you? You have such a big problem for us, don't you see? Those of us who have gray hair are boiled white, and we have been trying to find a way to not sleep for many nights in a row. It's easy to come up with a similar plan.
Why are you pretending to be confused?
Isn't that right?
"Your Majesty, the minister, the minister has no idea, the minister, the minister retires"
Fang Xianfu resisted the urge to be eventful, don't care if it's hard or not, with this emperor, it's the best thing if nothing happens. He's going to slip away.
However, Zhu Houxi didn't have the heart to let him go.
"Fang Qing, I've been thinking about one thing these days, you said that I have been a country for more than 100 years, is there anything commendable?"
Fang Xianfu immediately said: "Your Majesty, there are too many things, my Emperor Taizu swept through the Northern Yuan Dynasty and recovered Yanyun, and my Emperor Taizong went to the Western Ocean seven times and conquered the desert five times...... His Majesty recovered Daning and surrendered to Annam...... This, this is a commendable feat! With my Ming Dynasty, the righteousness of the country, the cultural and martial arts, is the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there are many inferiors! ”
Zhu Houxi touched his chin and said with a smile: "That's right, I think so too." ”
Zhu Houxi suddenly leaned over and said with a smile: "Fang Shangshu, what did you say about the school in the past?" ”
"Naturally, it is to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, the way of the saints, and the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness."
Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "That's right, I was thinking, I have so many commendable feats in the Ming Dynasty, why can't I write them into the textbook?" Also, I didn't understand why there was a dispute between the legal system and the Taoist system, and I felt that Yan Shenggong was more important than me, the emperor. ”
"I gradually figured it out, in the textbooks that the world's scholars learned, there is no feat of my Ming Dynasty, and there is not even a history to explain. Some old children don't even know which emperor the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu are, they can only recite Bagu Wen, and their bodies are sour and rotten. It is said that I am a monarch and that I must be loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but many Confucians do not know their monarch at all, nor do they know what I have done. ”
On the contrary, it is the doctrine of the saints, which is catchy...... Don't the common people have a saying? It's better to be in charge of the minister, I'm still too far away, far less real than the sage, I thought about it like this, and it suddenly dawned on me, in the end, it's still my fault! ”
Zhu Houxi's face was full of chagrin, and Fang Xianfu almost wanted to cry.
It's not your fault, it's ours!
Our bad!
In fact, when Yan Jun made a fuss, the undercurrent of the Ming Dynasty was surging, and it was by no means as calm as it appeared on the surface.
But the big guys didn't act rashly, the last time they encouraged Yang Minggong to go to Shandong, he was slapped with a big mouth, who knows what will happen this time?
However, since it is a disciple of Xinxue, and he says that there is no king and no father, in the end, it will still shake the relationship between Wang Yue and the Son of Heaven, as long as they part ways, or there is a rift, everything will be easy.
I don't know how many ministers have looked forward to this matter so much.
Judging from the situation this time, it should be the closest.
God forbid!
In the midst of such ardent anticipation, Yan Jun, as well as those members of the Cuihe Society, were sent to Zhangzi Island in Liaodong to start the journey of repaying debts.
In the eyes of many people, this is not punishment at all, is it good?
It is even said that they are protected.
Otherwise, with the momentum of the Cuihe Society, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is the local yamen, and the loss of land, population, taxes, and servitude...... After a certain period of trouble, it will not work at all if it is not completely eradicated.
Especially when Yan Jun falls, the rest of the people will not end well.
Now it's okay, let people send it to Liaodong in one go, which is equivalent to escaping death.
The Son of Heaven can actually endure it, is this still the familiar Zhu Houxi?
It can't be that someone has poured ecstasy soup, right?
Facts have proved that Zhu Houxi is not confused, but his reflection direction is a little wrong.
It's obviously a subordinate of Xinxue, and it's obvious that Wang Yue provoked you, why are you still pulling it on the literati?
We're so unlucky!
Some people say that there is no king and no father, is it also our fault?
This pot is a bit too much, right?
Faced with Fang Xianfu's grievances, Zhu Houxi was very annoyed and frustrated. This thing is so obvious, why haven't you noticed it before? You have to be reminded by Xiaofugui!
I think that back then, when Zhu Yuanzhang personally revised the edict, he sent books to everyone's homes.
Moreover, the language of this book is popular, and a very typical case is used later to explain and explain to the people. With the Great Edict as a weapon, although the common people did not completely change their fate, it is undeniable that in the Hongwu Dynasty, there were still some people who carried the Great Edict on their heads, twisted and sent corrupt officials into Beijing, beat the drum, and avenged the Son of Heaven.
Although the number of times is limited, although the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning.
But it is undeniable that it is a deterrent to corrupt officials and a protection for the poor!
Zhu Yuanzhang not only revised the law, but also put the law into practice, which is definitely far ahead of the times. He did not use the law to frighten the people and force them to obey like the Legalists, but he really wanted the people to learn to protect themselves.
It is this intention that is unique among emperors throughout the ages.
The old Zhu Zhuyu is in front, and the descendants of the younger generations not only did not carry it forward, but lost the traditions of the ancestors, which is really damned!
"Fang Shangshu, I mean that the academy of the world, in addition to teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics, is it to teach history? Especially the history of my Ming Dynasty. Also, since the founding of the country, how many heroes and how many stories can be sung and cried, should they also be compiled into a book for schoolchildren to understand and grasp? ”
Otherwise, they only read 300,000, but they only know 24 filial piety, open their mouths and say, and close their mouths to poetry. And how can they be expected to be loyal to the court? You say, don't you? ”
"Also, Uncle Fu Yuan has also compiled a lot of pamphlets recently, and I think I should organize all these things and teach them to students as teaching materials."
"The burden of your Ministry of Rites is very heavy, and we have to cultivate what kind of talents we want. You can't let people who only know the Four Books and Five Classics go to lead troops to fight and defend the border for the country, right? ”
"I have invested so much financial and material resources in education, and I want to cultivate the talents that the Ming Dynasty needs, and the talents that I need...... Fang Qing, do you say that my idea is too much? ”
Fang Xianfu listened to Zhu Houxi's tirade, and he was stupid.
Your Majesty, how can you go too far?
You're digging your ancestors' graves!
You must know that Zhu Houxi has done a lot of things in the past, and some people in the government and the opposition don't care much. In other words, Confucianism, which has lasted for more than 2,000 years, has enough vitality and confidence.
Taoism has attacked Confucianism, and Buddhism has also challenged Confucianism, including Confucianism itself, which also has many differences, and various sects are fighting with each other.
But as a wise Confucian, I don't care about that...... Because as long as the foundation is still there and the framework is still there, no matter how much the conflict is, it will not be able to run out of the Confucian pattern.
After all, no matter how much you read the Analects, you can't read historical materialism.
But this time it's different, very, very different!
The Confucian system of indoctrination is finally about to be broken.
Isn't there anyone who has no king and no father?
Then in the textbook, add the history of the Ming Dynasty and increase the education of national concepts.
This is the cure to avoid the appearance of people like Yan Jun!
It's not just a harsh punishment, it's not a river of blood...... There are so few problems that killing can solve...... In education, it is necessary to conduct a thorough education, establish a correct historical concept, and build a social consensus in order to fundamentally solve the problem.
"Fang Qing, what do you think of my plans?"
Fang Xianfu swallowed and foamed with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers are afraid of it, lest the expenses be too big and the court can't afford it, if it is a slow plan, will it be better?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhu Houxi laughed loudly, "What you said is not unreasonable, but there must always be a leader in everything!" Let's pick a day, let the whole Ministry of Rites go to Xishan Academy, and all go to audit the class, see how Uncle Fu Yuan can speak, and see how those students look...... I believe that my Ming officials are not going to talk nonsense with their eyes open, do I? ”
Fang Xianfu only promised to agree, and an ominous premonition came to his heart...... Eighty percent of them are going to be eliminated.
