Chapter 628: Right or Wrong
Zhu Zaiyuan said: "What my father doesn't like is Confucianism, is it science?"
Zhu Houwei nodded, then shook his head again, and then nodded again......
"Putting the people first and governing the country according to law, if Confucianism only takes the law as the backbone and implements science and education, it is not wrong to say strictly, but the mistake is that after the Southern Song Dynasty, Confucianism is too conservative, has no pioneering spirit, and likes to pass the buck.
Father emperor to give an example to the emperor, the Ming Dynasty is the primogeniture inheritance system, so if the first emperor thinks that as the eldest son of the emperor, your uncle is unbearable, let him be the emperor will make the Ming Dynasty completely decline, and if the father is extremely smart at that time, someone is like a king, then what should I do?
It's very simple, naturally your father inherits the throne and asks your uncle to be an idle vassal king and live this life carefree, but no......
Because Confucianism will definitely not agree, because the primogeniture inheritance system is legal and orthodox in their eyes, and the establishment of the Zhengde Emperor is the foundation of the country.
For the sake of this so-called morality, Confucians will not care whether Zhengde is faint or not, nor will they care whether their father is virtuous or not, they only care about the legal system, and even if Zhengde is a fool and a fool, they will not care, because in their eyes, the emperor only needs to hang the arch, and then hand over the governance of the world to them These ministers......
For the sake of this legal system, they can quarrel with the emperor day after day, year after year, and put on an unyielding posture that although tens of millions of people have been fighting for me, even if they are defeated by the court, they will be proud, and even if they are killed, they feel that they can go down in history, and that is also accounting.
They can quarrel endlessly for the sake of the country, and they can put aside all government affairs for the sake of the country, even if the people have been rampant with natural disasters, even if the people in the world are already bored, this is Confucianism, a school that can do anything for its own ideas.
Can you say that what they did was right? If not, are they really wrong? Ignoring government affairs and ignoring people's livelihood is definitely wrong, but can it be wrong to uphold the legal system and philosophy?
How fierce was the struggle between the old and new parties in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was an era of Confucian celebrities, but so what?
The New Party is wrong, what is wrong? The old party was wrong, and where was the mistake, these are the cold words on the history books, I have read it, I understand it, or I think I have understood, but I have not thought about it at a deep level, to distinguish the success or failure of gains and losses, and I don't know how to analyze and look at things with dialectical thinking, that is short-sighted! ”
Zhu Zaiyuan felt that he was too young, and his father had never said so much to him at one time, and he had said so profoundly.
"That's it......" Zhu Houwei felt that he was a little tired of what he said, his descendants have their own children and grandchildren, and it is unrealistic to rely on themselves to take care of everything for them.
And he has done enough, and he has prepared too many means, if the future dynasty still can't avoid the doom of destruction, then it can only be blamed on creation......
"Did the son disappoint his father a little?" Zhu Zaiyuan asked cautiously, and when these words came out, even Empress Xue, who had been silent on the side, looked a little nervous.
Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "Every prince is the blood of his father, and his father will only have high hopes for you, and there is nothing to talk ......about disappointment."
"But Erchen feels that the eldest brother is much smarter than Erchen, if he comes to be the prince......"
Zhu Houwei raised his hand to stop his son's words and said: "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, my father asked you to be the prince because you are the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty and occupy the righteous name, and the primogeniture inheritance system itself can indeed eliminate the hidden danger of seizing the heir, so my father did not think of abolishing this system."
But if the emperor is really unscrupulous, and he really can't bear the responsibility of being a human king, then the father and emperor forcibly put you in that position, it is irresponsible to you, and it is irresponsible to thousands of people in the world!
However, the emperor did not disappoint me after all, and my father also believed that the emperor could become a generation of Ming monarchs, as for future generations...... Hehe, my father can't live that long, he can't manage so much, and he can't see so far, so let one generation be in charge of the next. ”
"Erchen ......"
"There is no need to repeat, my father came this time to tell the emperor that my father is about to conquer Japan, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, during this period of my father's personal conquest, the emperor will be the prince of the country, which can be regarded as an experience, and the father will not interfere in all the government affairs of the emperor during the supervision of the country, and the emperor should ascend the throne in advance!"
"Why does my father have to do it in person, and how long will it take?"
Zhu Houwei smiled and said: "Because my father hates it!" Because the father can see through the wolf ambitions of the widows! ”
Zhu Zaiyuan was even more puzzled, in his opinion, Japan was still at least nominally a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and it was quite respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and the Zhengde Dynasty and the Jiajing Dynasty also sent people to pay tribute from time to time in the early stage.
Even if there are signs of wreaking havoc in these years, he also knows that it is a samurai daimyo who was defeated in the war in the country, because there is no place in his own country, so he can only go to the sea to be a wolf.
However, the tinkling of the poor in the small countries in the southeast really has no oil and water to squeeze, so the main target of the ravages of the Japanese is still the coastal area of Daming.
It's just that the Ming Dynasty has reformed the military system in recent years, vigorously fought against horses, abolished most of the guard posts, and then established major military regions with the new army.
The existence of the military region is similar to the significance of the existence of the garrison, that is, it is for the purpose of exterminating bandits in various localities, and it is also aimed at eliminating the Japanese bandits and protecting the territory and the people.
It's just that the guards have decayed, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, so they have been ineffective in suppressing the Japanese invaders, and in the past few years, the Japanese have become more and more violent, and hundreds of people have suffered greatly.
The guards were abolished, and the newly built military districts of the major coastal provinces naturally took on the heavy task of exterminating the Japanese pirates!
In fact, if the guards and military regions fail to earnestly perform their duties, that is, they are unable to eradicate the plagues and bandits, then the generals of the guards will be held accountable, but where can there be such a simple matter......
The political, military, and interests involved in this are intertwined, and it is not at all clear and clear that can be explained in a few words.
At least the deep-seated things, Zhu Zaiyuan can't understand them from one-sided words, so it's impossible to understand them deeply.
But Zhu Zaiyuan still felt that for such a small country, it was incomprehensible that the talented Emperor Jiajing wanted to drive the expedition in person.
According to the popular saying now, it is to fight mosquitoes with cannons, which really doesn't make much sense......
