Chapter 78: Potential Enemy, Bastard Post-Confucianism!

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the Ming Empire was not as difficult as imagined, because there were many heroes in front of him.

Feeling the chaos in the ideological field of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang began to use science to imprison people's minds after the establishment of the world, and he also gave the world a yeoman peasant society by suppressing the strong and powerful!

Under his rule, the Ming Empire was rigid and dull at the beginning, and the bureaucrats were waiting for him to die. It can be said that the death of Emperor Hongwu as soon as possible became the only hope of the bureaucrats in that period. (It is estimated that it is also related to the fact that he killed civil servants too much!) )

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen inherited the throne in accordance with the Confucian principle of ethical order, and this ignorant child blindly cut the feudal domain at the instigation of a few corrupt Confucians, and finally buried his own throne.

The death of Zhu Di, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a turning point for the empire, and since then, the empire has ended the expansion of Hongwu and Yongle. In the process, power began to shift from the hands of the emperor to the bureaucracy.

The death of Emperor Xuande marked the fact that rapport between the monarch and the bureaucracy could no longer be possible. The monarchs behind are either young or pampered, all of which are problems of bear children and rebellious psychology!

In order to suppress the rising power of civil officials, the orthodox royal family had no choice but to use eunuchs. The great eunuch Wang Zhen tried to pull the world back to the Hongwu era, which was not allowed by the entire bureaucracy.

In the end, when the Tumubao Incident broke out, not only did the imperial power suffer a huge blow, but even the military power began to gradually tilt towards the civilian group.

In the late Ming Dynasty, marked by the great ceremonial events of the Jiajing Dynasty, the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty rose in full swing and reached its peak in the late Wanli period.

Kubi's father of the Emperor of the Apocalypse died in the woman's belly in a month.

And the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was a minor but loved carpenters, had to take advantage of the dragon exploits of the civil officials to repay his kindness.

It can be said that in ancient China, which pursued Confucian culture, political power would eventually fall into the hands of civilian officials. National politics increasingly relied on a skilful bureaucracy rather than a wise monarch. (In fact, there were few emperors who were too wise in the late Ming Dynasty!) )

However, civil government has nothing for the West, where small countries and oligarchs are located. But for the complex and large eastern powers, it often has a negative impact, because the end result of the operation of civilian politics is often the prevalence of private ownership.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages in the early stage, but the civil service system in the later stage is definitely counterproductive. This is especially prominent in the late Ming Dynasty!

If you want to talk about the benefits, there are.

In the late Ming Dynasty, capitalist employment relations began to emerge, and the proletarian movement officially began. Trade unions began to form, Christianity was introduced to China, Enlightenment ideas were further developed, and silver became the mainstream currency in circulation.

The market culture has matured, overseas trade has become unprecedentedly active, the party and social movements have spread among the people, the groups participating in politics have expanded day by day, and public opinion has begun to become people-oriented.

At this time, if the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who died early, could live a few more years, and people like Nine Thousand Years Old could also be a little more flexible.

Then, as long as Daming survives the natural disasters and internal and external strife during the Xiaoice period.

It is entirely possible that the Ming Dynasty entered the capitalist monarchy in advance. So in the 21st century, the world's number one power will not be the United States, but China.

The Ming Dynasty was lucky, the Apocalypse Dynasty was determined, at least it didn't look as scattered as the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the emperor still insisted on collecting commercial taxes. Even if he was a carpenter emperor!

And Zhu Zilong, who came through it, has the advantage of having a time-traveler standing on the shoulders of historical giants.

At a very small price, the kind of governing effect expected by Emperor Jiajing was achieved, neither letting the ministers fight all day long (small disputes are not counted), nor letting the ministers scold and scold (only less than the other emperors were scolded), and the chaotic situation of the Wanli Dynasty was calmed down at once.

At this moment!

Looking at the officials in the court, kowtowing and bleeding to admonish, Zhu Zilong wanted to add another fire. Even to expel them all and go home!

Most of these people who have come out of the imperial examination can only talk about it, and they have no NB ability to govern the country, except for a few famous ministers.

However, now we can't do without them. After all, if we want to break this system of selecting talents through the imperial examination, the old system has been broken, and the new system has not been established. To fire most of the officials who are in the middle of a bad life is purely to make trouble for themselves. Zhu Zilong would not do such a stupid thing!

Alas!

Reform did not succeed overnight, especially in the Ming Dynasty, where the illiteracy rate of the common people in the country reached more than 95 percent.

No matter how depressed they are, these pig teammates and ambitious civil officials can only be used first.

It is easy to employ people and easily dismiss people, and the result can only be more and more chaotic. Emperor Chongzhen is a living example!

Some of the Empire's rigid policies were still being pursued, especially on the issue of peace with the Manchurians. No one is willing to take responsibility for some flexible policies, including how the good-looking emperor acts.

No wonder it is said that the emperor has no family affairs, and small things are also state affairs.

"I think my enemies are not just wild boar skins and natural disasters, the bigger enemy is post-Confucianism. What the bastard! In a voice that only he could hear, Zhu Zilong complained secretly.

completely ignored the scene where the officials below were still kowtowing, and it wasn't him who was bleeding from his forehead anyway.

And only some partisan fighters among the civil officials who did not even participate in the kowtow and were still indifferently observing Zhu Zilong and other officials. Zhu Zilong also put them on the list of slaughters in the future.

The end of the court meeting did not end with a sentence similar to the emperor shouting in the TV series, and I have made up my mind.

After watching enough of the drama and thinking about the way back, Zhu Zilong chose to give in to each other.

The people in the vicinity of Gongchang still have to be evacuated and traffic control will be implemented. However, the time has changed from a few months of sacrifice to only half a month to half a month.

There is still a week to go until the end of May, and the big explosion has historically occurred on May 30.

If Zhu Zilong controlled and let everyone leave for more than half a month, and after coming back, it exploded due to the butterfly effect, which means that it is fate, and then he still fights for a yarn. It's better to go home and wash up and sleep!

Because of this, it means that the Heavenly Dao is focusing on him. Under the way of heaven, even the saints and gods have to kneel, and he is a half-dragon man and still plays with a fart.

The party struggle, the imperial power and the civil official struggle, this time it seems that there is a draw. But Zhu Zilong's purpose has been achieved!

And in order to show that he was not convinced, before leaving, Zhu Zilong dismissed dozens of cannon fodder officials who were obviously thrown out by several parties, dismissed those who were dismissed, and demoted those who were demoted. You're welcome!

It is said that corrupt officials and bad guys cannot be killed, and they cannot be killed.

However, it takes more than ten years for a person to grow from childhood to adulthood, and it takes N years to read the fame and mix with a party. Tomorrow I will find a reason to stop dozens of them, and even if they can't be extinguished, your power won't rise!

Anyway, for the emperor, it is not difficult to find a clear reason to get by, and let some people leave.

If it weren't for the whole country, for the time being, most of the scholars would be educated people who mainly thought about Confucianism in the post-Confucianism. As soon as the time is ripe and the time comes to expel them all, Zhu Zilong will also be able to do it.

Hum!

(Confucianism is one of the hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin princes.) Confucianism is also known as true Confucianism, that is, it talks about great unification and stresses about monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons. Advocate the rule of morality, etiquette and man, emphasize moral probation, and so on. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it is more conducive to the feudal system, so it is liked by the emperors of all dynasties! )

After Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and Chinese characters were still in their embryonic form and did not have the function of accurate expression, orthodox Confucianism has basically disappeared.

As a result, post-Confucianism, which had distorted its growth course, was gradually born.

Post-Confucianism makes the world cheat, in order to compete for money and power and various resources, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact, in secret, men steal women and prostitutes. So much so that in the late Ming Dynasty, there was almost no real Confucianism, and it was difficult to survive in reality, and could only exist in the ideal kingdom of heaven.
