Chapter 20 The Third World Says the Great Harmony of the World

Zhu Qizhen said: "The third generation of the Ram family said, I think there is something unfinished? What does the gentleman think? ”

Yu Qian secretly figured out the meaning behind Zhu Qizhen's words in his heart.

Without him, although Yu Qian is not a great Confucian, if he doesn't know anything about the Ram family, it is fake. It's just that Yu Qian understands one thing better.

Every word of the emperor did not come out of thin air.

and then related to the various inexplicable actions in the center of the Western Expedition. Yu Qian vaguely expected it in his heart.

But what he said in his mouth was serious: "What Dong Zi said is nothing more than what the third world said, what he said with the five virtues, and what he said with the great unification." The five virtues end, and the cycle repeats. The king rules the world and makes up for the loss of humanity, so he uses the way of heaven, then uses the way, and then uses the way, and then uses the way of humanity, and so on. The same is true of the world, between the world, it is nothing more than according to the troubled times, the peaceful world, the peaceful world, and then the reincarnation of the heavenly way, and the cycle repeats. ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't expect that the Ram family would have such an explanation.

Even so, Zhu Qizhen's liking for the Ram family is deeper, in addition to those mysterious and mysterious, not easy to understand the way of heaven, earth, and humanity, what he said is the law of historical cycles in the eyes of later generations.

If this law is a summary of Chinese history, it is accurate.

You must know that the theory of the Ram family was put forward in the Western Han Dynasty, and there is nothing inappropriate to use the third life of the Ram family to set the history after the Western Han Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "I only understood the sage's righteous words today, and the third generation said that it is really a golden and jade good word. When I thought of my ancestor, it was based on troubled times. The management of my Taizong Renzong Xuanzong should be regarded as the promotion of the world, and the thirty-one spring and autumn seasons since the minister ascended the throne, sighing day and night, often thinking about the ancestors and working hard. Now that Annan Korea has been stabbed tile by tile, the world has been peaceful, and the people dare not say that they are happy, but there are taxes in moderation, and there are people who provide relief for natural and man-made disasters. Sir, does this think this is a peaceful world? ”

Yu Qian didn't know what to say for a while.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes." ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "In this way, according to the troubled times, I don't know when it will come?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, I will uphold the virtue of Taizu to expel the Tartars, and I will be right, and I will be far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and I will be blessed by God, and I will be forever." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir, it's not coaxing, I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I not know what the world is like?" The land annexation of the Ming Dynasty is prosperous day by day, not to mention anything else, in the territory of Shuntianfu, almost all of them are the land of the noble relatives, and some people even ask me for the land of Hejian and Baoding. ”

In my opinion, within a hundred years, more than fifty percent of the land in the world will be annexed by people, and when the time comes, the national strength of the imperial court will not be supported, and the people everywhere will not be able to make a living

According to the troubled times. ”

"Of course, my Ming clan is not guaranteed, but the people of the world are going to suffer great calamities, which is really unbearable."

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as I am enlightened and do not lose my holy virtues, there will always be twists and turns, and it will not hinder the overall situation." ”

Zhu Qizhen asked, "What is holy virtue?" ”

Yu Qian said: "I just love the people. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir, I am not reconciled, for thousands of years, the world has been bustling, as the ram family said, according to the troubled times, the peaceful world, the peaceful world, and so on. Is it really difficult for human beings to resist the Mandate of Heaven? Or is this the so-called unkindness of heaven and earth, using all things as dogs? ”

Yu Qian was speechless for a while.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir, do you know that paragraph I like to read the most? ”

"The road is also a trip to the world. The selection of talents and abilities, the belief and harmony, so that people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have their sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have grown, the widowed, lonely and the sick are all raised, men have a share, and women have a home. If you abandon the goods on the ground, you don't have to hide them for yourself; The power of evil does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. It is because of the conspiracy to close but not to prosper, to steal and thieves not to do, so to do not close the outside household, it is said to be the same. ”

Yu Qian's voice was low, and without Zhu Qizhen reciting the next paragraph, he began to chant: "Today's avenue is hidden, and the world is home." Each one kisses his own family, each son has his own son, and the adult world is a courtesy. The city ditch pond is solid, and the etiquette and righteousness are disciplined. To be righteous and ministerful, to be a father and son, to be a good brother, to be a harmonious brother, to make peace with a couple, to set up a system, to establish a field, to be virtuous and brave, and to take merit as oneself. Therefore the use is done, and the soldier starts from this. Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Chengwang, Zhou Gong, so they are also selected. These six gentlemen have not been polite. With its righteousness, with its faith, with the author's fault, the punishment is benevolent, and the people are constant. If there is no such person, the powerful person will go, and everyone will think that it will be a disaster, which is said to be well-off. ”

Zhu Qizhen originally used this to impress Yu Qian. But his affectionate chanting moved him first.

Whether the ultimate ideal of society is communism, utopia, or the world, it is a force that touches people's hearts.

That kind of idealism that shakes people's hearts, no matter what era it is taken out, has the power to inspire people and move people's hearts.

And Zhu Qizhen saw all kinds of later generations from these words.

Yes.

Of course, the afterlife is very different from this greatly idealized society.

We have my worries.

But most of these troubles are based on the protection of the right to life.

And even with today's so-called grand event, every winter in the streets of Beijing, there will be road down. There are as few as a dozen or as many as hundreds.

This is a fact that everyone is accustomed to, but in the eyes of Zhu Qizhen, he can't bear to look at it directly.

Every time he thinks of this, Zhu Qizhen has an indescribable complexity

Feelings, guilt, excitement, and forge ahead.

He felt guilty for being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the parent of the world.

But let the people of the Ming Dynasty freeze and starve to death. Every time at this time, he wants to be eager to make a difference, but the cold reality pours cold water on him again and again.

Let his heart be in pain, struggling repeatedly.

This is the fundamental reason why according to the world, do not love luxury, do not love beauty, do not love enjoyment, and have been like a day for decades, reviewing and reading, and being diligent in government affairs.

It is the great pain between the ideal and the reality, between the ought and the can't, between wanting to do and being powerless.

"Your Majesty." Yu Qian didn't know when, his eyes were already red, and the white-haired old man said: "Since the minister has been studying, the words of the sage have never dared to forget, but time has passed, and Jing Tian's plan is not feasible. ”

Zhu Qizhen restrained his emotions, was slightly stunned in his heart, and said secretly: "Why did you run to the well field?" ”

Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes and recuperated, and thought silently in his heart for a while before he could figure out the relationship between Jingtian and the Datong world.

How to say, the concept of the world of Datong. It is certainly the ultimate ideal of Confucian society. However, it does not mean that the great Confucians of all dynasties have not worked hard for this ideal.

On the contrary, there are many people who have tried.

The direction of their efforts is Ida.

Confucianism's infinite pursuit of Zhou rites also made the Jingtian system the fundamental method that they believed constituted the Datong world. Therefore, in the mouths of the great Confucians of all dynasties, the well field system is a concept that has been repeatedly discussed.

Many systems are related to the Ida system.

For example, the government soldier system, such as the village rite system advocated by Lixue, are another way for them to practice the Jingtian system.

And using well fields to restrict land annexation is a very correct way of thinking.

The specific system of the well field system has also been debated among the great Confucians of the past dynasties, so I won't say much here.

Zhu Qizhen had some secret smiles in his heart, in his opinion, the Jingtian system was almost a serfdom system in a slave society. How is it possible to revivenation.

But he still showed a heavy look on his face, and said, "Except for the Ida system, isn't there a way to reach the Datong World?" ”

"I can only watch this Ming Dynasty get worse and worse from today, and finally let the world fall into chaos again, and the lives will be miserable, miserable?"

"Sir, you are one of my teachers, can you tell me what to do?"

Yu Qian slowly knelt down and saluted, and said, "The old minister is guilty and can't share his worries for His Majesty." However, the minister asked His Majesty to promulgate a clear newspaper with this question, so that the world's great Confucian ministers would discuss this matter, and the minister thought that there would always be a way to unite the power of the world. ”

Yu Qian's words made Zhu Qizhen's heart move, and he said secretly: "How did I forget this? ”
