"In doing so, he set a very bad example for future generations!"

For Chinese, it is difficult to face the mistakes made by their ancestors, and most of them choose to "blame for the elderly". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Zhu Yifeng doesn't care about this. He is a pragmatist himself, and when he no longer needs to use the name of the Zhu family to seek benefits for himself, or even needs to overthrow something, he should naturally face up to the mistakes he has made, not to mention, this will make an assumption for outsiders - even the mistakes made by his ancestors can be pointed out, so in the face of similar mistakes, who can say a word "no".

But when these words were heard in Guo Songtao's ears, he trembled suddenly, as a minister, there are some words that he shouldn't even listen to.

What to do?

After hesitating, Guo Songtao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Your Royal Highness, the person who deleted the book stopped Emperor Gao, and Qin Wudao only "burned books and pit Confucianism", after Emperor Gao deleted the book, it was really the way of a saint! ”

In order to wash the floor for Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Songtao even did not hesitate to move out of the saint.

"The sage obtained 3,330 articles of the Emperor's "Book", and deleted 100 articles as "Shangshu", and 18 articles as "Zhonghou". And Emperor Gao's deletion of books is also in line with the way of saints......"

Guo Songtao's words made Zhu Yifeng smile in his heart, they are really good ministers of the ruler! actually told the truth and falsity of his grandson's deletion of the book. But the courtiers washed the floor of Emperor Gao like this, as the descendants of themselves, it was not good to mention this matter again.

In fact, when he said this sentence before, Zhu Yifeng's eyes were cast in the direction of Xiaoling, and he did not regret saying this. Perhaps for many people, Zhu Yuanzhang is perfect, but perfection does not mean that he has not made mistakes.

At least to the most part, he was wrong about it.

"In order to let the Ming regime never fall, Emperor Gao deleted the 85 articles of "Mencius", but he also knew that the text could not be deleted, and only compiled a book of "Mencius Verses" for the scholars to take the examination, but he couldn't help the scholars to read the full text of "Mencius" and couldn't help printing this book, but Emperor Gao never thought that his unintentional move would open up a river of Chinese book deletion,"

Because he recognized Zhu Yuanzhang as the "ancestor", he had to bear some responsibility for his actions.

By the time of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty carried it forward, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered China with foreign barbarians, and in order to maintain its rule, it even implemented the literary prison and criminalized the use of literature. In order to maintain his rule, he wantonly deleted and changed Confucianism, so that Confucianism was completely reduced to its tool and became the basis for its enslavement of the people......"

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty is so hateful!"

Guo Songtao directly said a politically correct sentence. Nodding his head in agreement, Zhu Yifeng continued.

"However, this is not the real Confucianism, but the Confucianism that has been modified at will by successive kings."

Yes, this is not really Confucianism. Those who say that Confucianism is foolish must first distinguish between the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius and the Confucianism of all dynasties after Dong Zhongshu. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" can be regarded as the development of Confucianism, but it can also be regarded as a "perversion" of Confucianism. Confucianism in the Zhongshu period has been mixed with some occult elements of the five elements of yin and yang, in order to reflect the view of the divine right of the monarch, began to have the "prototype" of the foolish people, and the Confucianism of the Zhongshu period has been mixed with some occult elements of the five elements of yin and yang, in order to reflect the view of the divine right of the monarch, began to have the "prototype" of the foolish people,

In the real Confucianism, there is only a passage in the "Taber Chapter" in the "Analects", and the reason for the controversy is the problem of broken sentences, that is, the sentence "the people can make it impossible to know it", the first kind of broken sentence: the people can make it from it, but not make it known, this kind of broken sentence is an out-and-out foolish thought, which translates to the effect that "we can let the people do what we want, but we can't tell them the reason for doing so", if this kind of broken sentence is true, it should be the earliest prototype of Confucian foolish thought. As for the second type of sentence, "the people may, let it be; No, let it be known" is a completely different sentence, which is translated as "If the people agree, we will carry it out; The people disagree, we should explain the reason and reasons to them", but in later generations, many people thought that this was people's exaltation of Confucius, based on the reasons of political correctness, the academic community supported the first kind of sentence break and translation is indeed more, but for Zhu Yifeng, he is more inclined to the second type, because he knows where the root of China is.

In fact, from the beginning of the deposition of the hundred schools, Confucianism, which was in the hands of the rulers, became a tool for fooling the people. The reason for this lies in Qin, and the Qin State prospered because of the foolish people, and also died because of the foolish people. However, since then, Qin politics has been practiced for hundreds of generations, and the politics of Qin for 2,000 years have also been practiced, so the "way of fooling the people" has never withdrawn from the stage of Chinese history. ”

Walking forward slowly, Zhu Yifeng sighed as he walked.

However, the lesson of the death of Qin II has been warned by all dynasties, but the influence of "Han with Qin", coupled with the reality that Qin is strong because of "foolish people", is unwilling to give up for the previous dynasties, and at this time Dong Zhongshu appeared! ”

Yes, Dong Zhongshu is a key player, which is exactly what Zhu Yifeng came to when he studied the historical collection.

Later generations only saw that Dong Zhongshu persuaded Han Wu to use Confucianism, but they did not see that Han Wu took the "benevolence" of Confucianism but only used it, and the so-called "benevolence" was just used to deceive the people, in order to cover up the essence of Qin Zheng, and Dong Zhongshu happened to see this, and saw that Han Wu needed to use Confucian "benevolence" to cover up the "violence" of Legalism, and needed to use "three outlines and five constants" to establish the legitimacy of Han rule! ”

As a disciple of the Holy Gate, Guo Songtao naturally knew that there was no "Three Outlines and Five Constants" in the study of saints, and the so-called "Three Outlines and Five Constants" were joined by Dong Zhongshu.

From the day Dong Zhongshu joined the "Three Platforms and Five Constants" in order to cater to the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has completely become a tool of the dynasty, but the lesson of the death of the second Qin Dynasty has made the Central Plains monarchs of all dynasties very clear that the "way of fooling the people" is only for a while, after all, people cannot be blinded for life, just like after the unification of the Qin State, there is a saying that "the world has suffered Qin for a long time". After the Han Dynasty "deposed the hundred schools of thought and followed Confucianism alone", although Confucianism was reduced to a tool little by little, although the essence of "Confucianism has not changed", but the core of Confucianism "education without class, enlightenment of the people" still affects the people, and although the scholars at that time were willing to be driven by the monarch, they were still the children of the Holy Gate, and still adhered to the root of "education without class, enlightening the people's wisdom", which also caused more than 2,000 years, Chinese dynasties have sought some kind of stability between "foolish people" and "enlightened wisdom"! ”

If he had no experience in traveling in Europe and the United States, perhaps he would regard the words of the King of Han as a "great rebellion", but in the three years of traveling in Europe and the United States, he was able to understand the relationship.

Perhaps Shang Jun's statement is aimed at "fooling the people", but "the people are foolish is easy to govern", "the people are weak and the country is strong, and the people are strong and the country is weak" is applicable everywhere, and the so-called "making the people difficult to understand" is actually a manifestation of the country's weakness. If the government has no authority, or if its authority is always challenged by the people, it is naturally impossible for the country to be strong.

In fact, in Europe and the United States, he also sees the balance between "foolish people" and "enlightened people", but in contrast, they carry out more obscure education, in Europe and the United States, to establish a legal concept for students, in fact, to use the system to "fool the people", or to use the system to restrain people, so that the state is in a strong position against people in some aspects.

But it's all about the balance between the two!

"Confucianism itself does not have a policy of ignoring the people, on the contrary, it often thinks from the standpoint of ordinary people. Confucianism advocates "education without class", advocates the enlightenment of the people's wisdom, and hopes that the people will "have perseverance and constant production", and there is no "foolish" policy in the Confucian classics. On the contrary, more requirements are made for the monarch, and even when looking at individual crimes, they will reflect on whether the social system makes them do such things. Therefore, Confucianism has its own independent thinking, and does not look at problems from the perspective of rulers. This is very different from the Legalists, who take the position of the monarch to advise them. In fact, in the governance of the country, the two are complementary to each other, which has the "Confucianism in the law" of later generations, and this is the case in all dynasties, and Confucianism and law are equally important. On the surface, it is Confucian "benevolence and righteousness", but in the system, it is the Legalist hegemony of the people. That is, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's Xunzi's "Overlord Dao Miscellaneous", that is, the balance of the "Overlord Dao" in the following two thousand years! ”

After this explanation, the corners of Zhu Yifeng's lips lifted, if it weren't for the need to rule, I am afraid that he would not understand all this, and he may think that Confucianism is misleading the country and fooling the people as in the past. In fact, this is because, as the core of the rule of the dynasties, the general public does not have much contact, and even has no access to its "art of controlling the people", because the content of those are the "magic weapons" that the royal family does not reveal.

In modern times, ordinary people who have no way to get in touch with the core of the "way of controlling the people" can only see that the previous dynasties preached Confucian benevolence, righteousness and morality, and after discovering that what they implemented was only "the art of controlling the people" and "the way of fooling the people", they would think that Confucianism had fooled the people, but in fact it was just that Confucianism was the black pot for the Legalist idea of fooling the people, and most people who thought that "Confucianism was fooling the people" did not understand Confucianism at all, and naturally they did not know that the essence of Confucianism was "people-oriented", let alone that the core of Confucianism was "enlightenment".

In the end, the backwardness of modern times made Confucianism bear the charge of "bringing disaster to the country and the people", and the people who gave it this name had never read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and they didn't know what Confucianism was. As for those who advocate Legalism, they have never read the Book of Shang Jun at all, let alone know that the core of Legalism lies in the "weak people" and "foolish people", so as to achieve their essence of "controlling the people", "serving the people", and "abusing the people" in order to seek the so-called "national strength".

"The way of balance, all dynasties and dynasties are "overlord and miscellaneous" Confucianism and law, and every Confucian royal road can always have the upper hand, the two complement each other, so that there is the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties in the history books! But all this,"

Referring to that tragic history, Zhu Yifeng's face showed a look of pain from the heart,

"In the end, it was completely ruined......
