Kong Zhuo understood what Mu Zhi said.

But he couldn't understand Makiyuki's realm.

It's as if he, as a descendant of Yan Shenggong, will not betray Confucianism no matter what.

In Kong Zhuo's view, it is impossible for a person to betray his own class.

Therefore, he had always believed that Mu Zhi's targeting of Confucianism was to rectify the atmosphere of the court and improve the comprehensive national strength of Wu.

Wu Guoguo has been in power for more than 100 years, and there are more and more domestic ills, and problems such as excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, land annexation, and class solidification are becoming more and more serious, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly.

Generally speaking, at this stage, the dynasty will carry out internal reforms, led by the famous minister or the Ming monarch, and then there is a high probability that it will end in failure, at most to help a dynasty continue to live for decades, but it still can't change the established fate of the dynasty.

In Kong Zhuo's eyes, Mu Zhi, as an emperor, worked hard to govern the country, starting from the decaying Confucianism, although it was shocking, but it did not exceed his understanding.

Now, though, Kong Zhuo realizes he's wrong.

Makiyuki's realm was higher than he had guessed.

What Mu Zhi wants is definitely not just to simply improve the national strength of Wu State.

This is clearly a fundamental reshaping of the country's system.

Kong Zhuo, who was originally full of confidence, felt that his legs and stomach were a little weak.

Let him change the life of Confucianism and be Dong Zhongshu, Kong Zhuo has the courage.

But let him change the life of the emperor and be the gravedigger of the system, Kong Zhuo did not have the courage.

Don't talk about him, now no one in the world has the courage except for Muzhi.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, are you kidding? ”

Muzhi looked at Kong Zhuo with undisguised disappointment in his eyes.

"I thought the pressure on you was enough, but I didn't expect you to be forced to this role and still haven't abandoned your illusions and are ready to fight."

Is this the weakness of class?

Ye Shangshu's side has also been holding still, Li Fuzi's side doesn't even dare to die, Kong Zhuo's Kong family here is almost finished, and he still doesn't dare to have the consciousness of resisting the imperial power.

Mu Zhi didn't expect that this group of people would be so tolerant.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, right?

He was wrong.

This group of people can endure a lot more than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Kong Zhuo was still willing to believe that Mu Zhi was testing him, so he simply surrendered directly: "Your Majesty needs Confucian reform, and Kong is willing to be the pioneer and transform Confucianism into what Your Majesty needs." I only hope that Your Majesty will leave a line of incense for Confucianism, and that Confucianism can defeat a hundred schools of thought at the beginning, which shows that Confucianism still has great merit for the rule of kings. ”

The shepherd's anger is happy, and his misfortune is angry.

What he wanted was for the Confucian doctrine to be reformed into something that would not help the rule of the king.

Kong Zhuo actually thought that this was the selling point of Confucianism.

Until now, Kong Zhuo didn't realize what Mu Zhi wanted, which made Mu Zhi give up the idea of communicating with him.

He couldn't teach Kong Zhuo how to oppose imperialism and feudalism.

If we fail to mobilize everyone's subjective initiative, this kind of reform will fail.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhi was a little excited.

"Forget it, if you don't fight yourself, I can't help you." Makizhi waved his hand: "Go down, wait for my will." ”

He'd better continue to squeeze the crowd. absolutely

If they don't force them to the edge of the cliff, this group of people will hold on to his big ~ legs.

Then he drove them to the edge of the cliff and even pushed them off the cliff.

Mu Zhi didn't believe it, this group of people could still hold back and not resist.

If they can still hold back, then Mu Zhi will admit it.

It's a big deal to let life transform this group of guys.

Kong Zhuo left the palace in a state of trepidation, and then Mu Zhi summoned the prime minister into the imperial study.

"Prime Minister, I'm going to do something big."

The prime minister's heart trembled, and his face immediately became bitter.

He's getting older, and he really doesn't want to toss with Muzhi.

But he still wants to be this prime minister, and he can't do it if he doesn't follow Mu Zhi's toss.

The prime minister said in his heart, I am too difficult.

"What does Your Majesty have in mind?" The prime minister said helplessly.

Mu Zhi threw a bombshell: "Useless scholars, those young people who grew up reading the books of sages and sages, they are not diligent and do not know the real suffering of the world, I can't let this happen anymore." ”

The prime minister was surprised: "Your Majesty, haven't you already started to implement practical examinations?" ”

"The progress is too slow, and the conservative power of Confucianism is too great, I must hit the hammer hard."

The foreboding in the prime minister's heart became stronger and stronger: "What is Your Majesty going to do?" ”

Mu Zhi's tone was understated: "Let this group of young people who are rich and rich go deep into the grassroots." ”

The prime minister's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, what grassroots?" ”

"Leave the bustling city like Beijing, go to the small towns and villages below, eat and live with the farmers, help the farmers and uncles plant the land and plant seedlings, so that they can truly understand the hardships and needs of the people at the bottom, and the shortest time is one year. The talents cultivated in this way are the real talents. ”

Seeing that the prime minister seemed to want to faint at any time, Muzhi added: "Of course, you don't have to go to the countryside all of them. Commerce must also be circulated, the countryside needs people, and the workers also need to be replenished. Workers on the docks, assembly line employees in factories, and various service industry personnel with a better environment, such as shopkeepers and apprentices, should be allocated a part of the knowledgeable and educated young people as appropriate. ”

"This group of people has low eyes, they think they have a splendid mind and can govern the country and the people, but in fact, they don't even know what the country is like, and they can't empathize with the people at the bottom, so they naturally can't work for the well-being of the people. If you really want to leave a name in history and become a generation of great sages, you should unite knowledge and action, and only after experiencing it yourself can you really find a solution to the problem. ”

The prime minister couldn't listen to Mu Zhi's rhetoric at all.

He felt a bolt from the blue, and his scalp was numb.

"Your Majesty, are they scholars?"

"What's wrong with the reader?"

"Scholars have the privilege of reading." The prime minister argued: "This is insulting to Sven, how can you let the scholar be in the company of the farmer and the businessman?" ”

Mu Zhi sneered: "I just want to cure the arrogance of scholars, and no one is superior to others. ”

The prime minister did not agree with this statement at all: "Your Majesty, there is a specialization in the art industry, how can a scholar do manual work?" ”

"Someone always does manual work, isn't a reader a human being?"

Mu Zhi stopped the prime minister from speaking, and Qiangang made an arbitrary decision: "My will has been decided, and you will do it." ”

The prime minister really couldn't move: "Your Majesty, you are going to isolate yourself from all the scholars in the world, they will really fight with you." ”

Makiyuki smiled: "If I can cultivate a rebel, I will be very pleased." If I can cultivate a group of doers, I will also be very gratified. It doesn't hurt left or right, so let's do it. ”

Anyway, Jiangshan is not his.

It's not your own thing, and you just don't feel distressed when you toss it.
