"I just want to be alone and quiet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Prince's Mansion
There are a lot of people gathered in front of Zhu Biao's residence, there are ministers who deal with political affairs on weekdays, as well as eunuchs and palace maids who serve around them, and there is a person standing in front of the door, with a slightly haggard expression.
Could it be that something big happened, why did so many people gather here, the prince Zhu Biao was sick, and he didn't come out for a few days, compared with other princes, his body and bones were originally weak, and he didn't know how much he ate supplements, but he didn't improve much, so Zhu Yuanzhang also had a headache, he didn't have a healthy body, how to be a competent emperor!
You must know that Zhu Biao is mostly heart disease.
Zhu Biao was born in the royal family, and he was the crown prince, which should be something that many people dream of, but for Zhu Biao, who lacks a strong enough body and tenacious psychological endurance, the respect of the prince has not brought him much happiness in life, although he lives in dignity and wealth.
As the eldest son, Zhu Biao was born with the qualifications to inherit his father's throne, and was pinned on by Zhu Yuanzhang, but the more eager he was, the stricter the responsibility, and he was strictly disciplined since he was a child. Especially after he became the crown prince, he was surrounded by many famous Confucians and righteous gentlemen who took turns to discipline and persuade him, and his words and deeds were strictly required to be carried out according to etiquette. In such an environment, it is doubtful how much childhood fun ordinary people should have.
As an adult, Zhu Biao lived in the shadow of his father as always, living in a long and helpless waiting and uneasiness.
Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness is just the opposite of Zhu Biao's thoughts, several times he was imprisoned, the old ministers suffered, Zhu Biao personally asked for his life, waiting only for Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, as the contradictions and differences between him and Taizu became increasingly intense, he had to bear huge mental pressure.
This is often fatal, a person from his teens to the crown prince, until he is in his thirties, he is still the prince, he faces a strict father every day, and those distracting political affairs, if he is a prince, he is like an emperor, he would rather not.
"How is the Prince's condition?"
It was an old minister who spoke, his hair was white, and the princess gave a salute, "I am worried about the tired adult, and the imperial doctor has seen it, saying that he has a cold, and he can recover in a few days of recuperation." ”
"That's good, watching the prince grow up since I was a child, everything is fine, but this body is weaker." The old man couldn't help coughing a few times after speaking, the princess said a few words, the old man was escorted away by someone, who is this person, the prince and the teacher, a person who specializes in teaching the prince to study, can do this, it must be a great Confucian with real talent and real learning.
Throughout the world, successive emperors have taken Confucianism as a model, the most famous of which is the Han Dynasty's proposal of "Spring and Autumn Unification" and "Depose the Hundred Schools of Thought and Respect Confucianism alone", emphasizing Confucianism as the philosophical foundation of the country and eliminating other ideological systems.
Emperor Wu of Han adopted his idea. Since then, Confucianism has become orthodox, and the study of the Four Books and Five Classics has also become a manifest study. At this time, Confucius had been dead for more than 100 years.
Throughout the past 2,000 years, the reason why Confucianism has been able to dominate the trend is, on the one hand, because its ideological core, that is, the philosophical concept of heaven and man, the "three outlines and five constants" with "benevolence" as the core, and the political proposition of great unification, all of which fundamentally meet the needs of feudal autocratic rule.
On the other hand, it is because Confucianism has a strong sense of social responsibility and is able to constantly change its face as the needs of the times change. Pre-Qin Confucianism was not accepted by the rulers of the time, and was even devastatingly attacked by Qin Shi Huang, which was caused by the theoretical shortcomings of pre-Qin Confucianism when it was first founded.
The content system of pre-Qin Confucianism is full of heavy, gentle and simple ethical affection, which seems to be "far-reaching and broader than things". For example, the era of Confucius's "benevolence", which aimed to restore the "Zhou rites" through "correct names", is long gone, so Confucius's ideas will not be favored by the emerging landlord forces.
Although Mencius's theory of "benevolent government" has shifted to the position of the emerging landlord forces, his theory of "benevolent government" is based on the principle that "the people are precious" and "the king is light", and it overemphasizes the interests of small peasants, so it will not be appreciated by the rulers. History developed to the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the feudal state was strong, which created the premise for the stability of feudal rule. In order to maintain the situation of great unification, it is necessary to establish an ideological system that is compatible with it, and Confucianism will then have the conditions to regain its vitality.
Confucianism advocates the rule of morality, etiquette and man, and emphasizes moral influence; Legalists advocate "breaking off from the law", implementing the rule of law, and emphasizing violent rule; Taoism advocates following nature and "ruling by doing nothing", and the three are very complementary.
After the practice of governing the country in the early years of the Qin and Western Han dynasties, it has been proved from both positive and negative aspects: in the turbulent era, the warlords were divided, and it was difficult to use the Confucian line to implement the national unification, but the Legalist line could achieve such an effect; At the beginning of the end of the turmoil, the population withered and production was destroyed, and the Taoist politics of inaction should be practiced, resting with the people in order to restore and develop production; When the country is stable and on the track of normal operation, it is no longer possible to implement violent rule with strict punishment and strict laws, but it is advisable to follow the Confucian line.
To put it bluntly, Confucianism is more conducive to the rule of the emperor and the consolidation of the royal position, whether it is the emperor or the common people, everything is based on interests.
"Let's all go back!"
Everyone left, the crown princess turned around, and was just about to push the door in, when Zhu Biao's voice came from inside,
"Let me be alone for a moment!"
The fair-skinned fingers slowly retracted, husband and wife for many years, they know each other's personalities best, Zhu Biao has a gentle personality, if he doesn't encounter special things, he will definitely not lose his temper, most of them are sick, and the anger in the past few days is obviously a little big.
"Let's go."
There were only two eunuchs on duty at the door, the crown princess left with the palace maids, a sigh came from inside, Zhu Biao got up slowly, his clothes were draped on his body, he didn't see him for a few days, the whole person lost weight, the circles around his eyes were black, and he came to the window.
A gust of cold wind blew in, Zhu Biao tightened his sleeves, and from here he could see the trees in front of him and the blooming flowers, and from time to time there were birds flying up from the trees, flashing their wings, and making a cheerful cry from their mouths.
Even among the flowers, there are also flocks of butterflies flying, "I want to have a pair of wings, fly away from here, and stay away from the world." Zhu Biao's eyes fell into the distance, this illness came a little suddenly, most of them were in a hurry, and when he heard the news of Yan Jin's death and the disbandment of Jinyiwei, Zhu Biao only felt a tightness in his chest, and the whole person fell on the bed, and at that moment he was like a fool.
First the general Lan Yu, and then the commander of the Jinyi Guard Yan Jin, if it is really as his father said, to remove all obstacles for himself, this approach is too harsh, even vicious, Lan Yu has always been a member of the prince's mansion, because of the princess, the relationship between the two is inseparable, Yan Jin is the same, although he only listens to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, after all, he will be the emperor in the future.
"Father, how many more people do you have to kill before you give up, if in your heart, your emperor is just a wreck who needs to use this way to keep the throne, why do you want to set me up!" Two lines of tears kept flowing down the corners of his eyes, this is the only way for Zhu Biao to vent his heart, the restraint of identity, these things can only be contained in the heart, you can't fight and kill like a hero, or drink and shout a few times, or even cry in front of others, because you are the prince, the emperor in the future.
The fist hit the wall panel, the sound was not loud, and the eunuchs who were guarding outside looked at each other, the prince was in a bad mood, and he would only find himself bad luck when he went in at this time.
A few punches fell, there were faint blood marks on the fist, Zhu Biao stopped, if the injury on his hand was too big and was discovered, I am afraid that it would make the chicken and dog not startled, and even affect the eunuch on duty outside, this is Zhu Biao's most admirable side, before doing things, I can always think of the consequences of doing this, in addition to myself, whether it will have an impact on others.
After some venting, Zhu Biao raised his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and the butterflies fluttered among the flowers, and he was destined to stay here, complete his own mission, and be a good emperor who loves the people like a son according to his father's arrangement.
Zhu Biao's eyes fell on his fist, the faint blood stains revealed bright red, and at this moment he suddenly remembered a person, a person who had saved himself and could also let himself go.
