The Duan clan didn't have time to go to Kunning Palace, and was summoned to Qianqing Palace not long after he walked out.

The emperor and queen were dressed in regular clothes, and they met Duan's in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and tried to make a calm and calm look.

"Master said a few words of missing his ancestors, and then he didn't know where he went." Duan stood very aggrieved in front of the emperor and queen, as if he was being questioned.

"He went to the Fengxian Temple." Zhou Hou opened his mouth first, and then found that Duan's angry little daughter-in-law was standing like a daughter-in-law, and said, "You sit." ”

Duan's blessed body was blessed at this time, and he retreated to the embroidery pier and sat down next to him, but his heart was blank, and he had already pushed all the problems to the emperor and queen, just waiting for orders.

"When did he miss his ancestors since he was a child......" Chongzhen was in a hurry for a while, and he actually spat out the truth.

Zhou Hou coughed lightly, and hurriedly washed the "unfilial" test words for the eldest son: "Brother Chun is also extremely filial, but he won't make it for others to see." ”

Chongzhen also realized that he had lost his words, and said: "I mean that he always hides his thoughts, not that he is unfilial. You said...... Will he be guilty of ...... again?"

Duan's spirit was excited, and he looked at Zhou Hou blankly, just in time to make eye contact with his mother-in-law, and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it, not daring to be rude.

Zhou Hou laughed dryly and said: "When I was a child, I occasionally had some hysteria, and I haven't heard of him committing any more crimes over the years. "In this era, the status and wealth of the partner are important, but the most important thing is that there is no bad disease. In order to dispel Duan's possible cranky thoughts, Zhou Hou specially added: "Brother Chun has no evil diseases." ”

Duan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and did not doubt Zhou Hou's words, but after Zhou Hou finished speaking, he felt that he had a taste of "there are no silver three hundred taels here", and he felt a wave of displeasure for no reason.

There was a cold silence in the warm pavilion.

"Stuffy." Chongzhen got up abruptly and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Although it is breathable, the destination of His Majesty the Emperor is very clear.

Bongseonjeon.

The Son of Heaven has a temple. Sacrifice to the ancestors with the number of seven or nine. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not from a Shili family, his feelings for his parents and grandparents are very sincere, and he wants to go to worship when he thinks about it. The people of the time agree with this filial piety, but filial piety must also be observed. Taimiao is a place of national worship, and the emperor's ancestors are also the heroic spirits who protect this world's society, and can only be sacrificed at the specified time with the prescribed etiquette.

So Zhu Yuanzhang built the Fengxian Hall in the Forbidden City. Following the example of the Song Dynasty emperors who performed family sacrifices in their private pavilions, they wore regular clothes for daily worship.

There is no apse in the Fengxian hall, and the main hall is also a system of the same hall and different rooms. Now, in addition to the eternal Taizu and Chengzu, only the seven emperors with the closest blood are enshrined in it.

Zhu Cihong has come here to worship his ancestors since he first knew how to walk, and he won the blessing of his ancestors during the ceremony. Later, the number of sacrifices here was much higher than that of the Taimiao sacrifice, but fortunately, the family rites were often served, so it was not very troublesome.

Taking the initiative to come to Fengxian Hall is the first time since Zhu Cihong was born.

In his previous life, Zhu Cihong's understanding of the family could only be traced back to his grandfather's generation, and the relatives of the five suits were no longer incomprehensible to him, not to mention the Nine Temples of the Son of Heaven. It is necessary to trace such a distant kinship. After living in this world for seventeen years, although sacrifice has become a part of life, the understanding of kinship is still superficial.

Zhu Cihong asked the eunuch to open the door and enter the main hall. Under the ever-bright lamp, the temple was glowing with bright and extinguished golden light. It can be said that this is the place where the relics left after the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and the gold, silver and jade used for worship are still intact, which can be regarded as escaping the triple catastrophe of Chongzhen, Li Chuang, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong walked in front of the throne of Emperor Taizu Gao, and next to him was the throne of Empress Ma. This couple is the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Expelled the Tartars and annexed the Heroes. Reopen the country. It was he who left himself with the difficult problem in front of him, the clan problem.

It is said that in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, the urbanization rate has reached 30%, and such a high urban population will naturally not cause serious clan problems.

Emperor Taizu Gao himself was deeply bullied by the officials, so that after becoming the emperor, he still did not have a clear change in his identity, and he took "disturbing the people" very seriously. From strict administration of officials to "imperial power does not go to the countryside", Emperor Taizu deliberately formulated measures to protect the small people.

Perhaps this is a good thing from the perspective of small people, but it may not be beneficial to the development of the country. Although Zhu Cihong can wait until the development of society has reached a certain level before raising this issue, without forward-looking guidance, the future resistance will be even greater. The price to pay is bound to be greater.

Now it is necessary to take advantage of the unprecedented weakening of the power of the clans in the north to establish new social relations, and the key lies in how to grasp this balance point.

Zhu Cihong walked to the golden pillar wrapped in yellow yarn, and slowly slid down against the pillar until the cool air from the floor tiles lifted his spirits.

Taking off the jade hook from his belt, Zhu Cihong wrote the word "person" on the ground, drew a circle, and wrote the word "home". This should be the most basic building block of society.

"Home" is like a seed, sprouting and sprouting into the backbone, which is the "great sect" from the lineage. The main trunk continues to grow, and many branches emerge, which is the "small sect" of the concubine. The large and small sects constitute the entire tree structure, which is the "sect". When the children of this "sect" go out, it is like a seed falling from a tree, taking root and sprouting in another place, and then growing the main trunk and branches, echoing the original tree...... Hence the clan.

When these clans grow together because of their common cultural identity, they develop the land under their feet, defend the dignity of the community, and pass on the values of ancient times – this is the nation.

Zhu Cihong leaned back, raised his head, and the focus in his eyes was scattered.

As long as someone gets married, they will inevitably become a clan. Not to mention the current era, isn't it the same with the red aristocracy in the previous life?

Zhu Cihong shook his head gently: Unless there is a stronger belief that occupies the people's faith space, let them believe that their father and mother are not as good as the emperor's relatives, and the heavens and the earth are not as good as the royal family's kindness, and they are determined to be a small family for everyone, get rid of low-level customs, and dedicate everything they have to the people of the whole country.

For 5,000 years, this state of frenzy has only existed for 30 years, and the side effects of the collapse seem to be even greater, quite a bit of a thirst quenching feeling. Not to mention anything else, Zhu Cihong did not want his body to be sealed for a long time and not be buried.

Moreover, with the propaganda ability and means of the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult to achieve such a large-scale ideological education...... Let's start with a plan for Mars exploration.

Since it is impossible to eradicate the clan fundamentally. What can be done to ensure that the state has control over the people without enacting evil laws that destroy homes and families?

The first is the ideological aspect, the balance between loyal ministers and filial sons. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were only filial sons in the world, and there were no loyal ministers, so there were five chaotic flowers. The Northern Expedition was difficult to pay. At that time, the gate lords had the same name as today's clans, but they were more powerful and directly controlled the power of the military state.

Zhu Cihong also thought of a certain period in his previous life, when the world was full of loyal ministers - or masters, and he only knew the needs of the country, so he went to the mountains and the countryside and went to the special region. Indeed, with their sacrifices, they have made great contributions to the entire nation. However, when faith collapsed, it was these people who reversed the most, even denying their sacrifices, believing that they had been deceived and betrayed by the elite. Thoroughly engage in the trap of self-interest.

These happen to be the two most extreme examples, and the later emphasis from the Sui and Tang dynasties on "being close at home, being loyal to the monarch in the court" can be said to be a kind of buffer and compromise. However, the current Ming Dynasty pays more attention to "filial piety", and the aspect of "loyalty" is lacking, which requires some artificial motivation.

The second is in the area of national mobilization.

The formation of clans took the Northern Song Dynasty as a watershed, and there were two forms.

In the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, the Son of Heaven divided feudal states into clans, and his large clans had direct control over the property of the smaller clans. This was still the same in the Ming Dynasty. The feudal kings of the feudal domains may be excommunicated for their crimes or childlessness, and their lands may be nationalized.

The familiar common people clan in later generations was born after the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of the promotion of Fan Zhongyan, Zhang Zai, Cheng Yi and others. The common people were allowed to set up ancestral halls in order to "respect the clan and accept the clan". This can almost be regarded as a revolution, breaking the privilege of scholars to build temples, and also having a spiritual core based on blood.

After having such a core, the common people turned from simply being attached to the landlord to their own clan. At this time, the clan was like a union in later generations. It seems that he does not have the power to control the lives and property of the sect, but it is very cohesive.

Continued to the Ming Dynasty, the service system of the township officials became more obvious, and the influence of the clan was greater, far surpassing the court and the law of the court in grassroots public opinion.

For example, recruitment. In a newly established homeless village. Recruiting is noticeably much easier. In places with clan influence, the elders of the clan are often resistant to this due to the lack of labor. It was these old people who said "don't go", and many people discouraged their desire to enlist.

In the current Grade A administrative region, the clan is dying and has very little influence, and even then you can feel the energy contained in it. Even if the county magistrate goes to the countryside to ask about politics, the elderly and farmers will also treat the larger families differently.

Therefore, in places where the clans in the south are more powerful, it is often heard that the entire family resists taxes and rents, and even violently resists officials.

The last issue is the land issue.

The clan itself is not a big landowner, and the land in the clan is only the righteous fields and sacrificial fields donated by the clansmen. Yitian is used to take care of the poor children of the clan, and to provide them with a bundle for studying, which is often only available to the Shili clan. The sacrificial field must be available to every family, and its output is used for family ancestral hall sacrifices. Because this is a clan donation, the labor force is also obliged to bear by the clan, and the harvest and use are also supervised by everyone.

The binding nature of the clan on the land lies in the fact that the land privately owned by the clan will not be outflowed.

A widow can remarry, but only with her own dowry. The land of the husband's family must be left to the heirs, which is the protection of the clan to the clan. If there are no heirs, the clan will inherit the land from a clansman who is worthy of his seniority.

The public rhetoric, of course, is that the strength of the family will not be weakened, and the encroachment of people with foreign surnames will be avoided.

But the court is also a foreigner!

These lands have been controlled by one family, and if the attributes of "terra nullius" are not restored, when will the imperial court take them back? You can't introduce an "inheritance tax", right? That is a denial of the 3,000-year-old tradition of "the son inherits the father's business", and it is better to tear his face and grab it. (To be continued......)
