Chapter 156 What the Monk Touched, I Can't Touch?
Everyone has a conscience, and they will not make it up!
Hell no.
This kind of thing will definitely be made up.
Driven by profits, these unscrupulous guys can't do anything.
Five hundred!
Taking out a few dozen guan is enough for them to buy some target characters, fellow villagers and Diao people to make up stories, and with a hundred guan, they can buy a bunch of such Diao people and then make up a wild history of everyone together. Now it is the Hongwu Dynasty and not the Wanli Dynasty, most of the people in the place are Diao people who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, those families can't control the situation, and the families who really have the ability to control the place have long been cleaned up by Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, as long as the local people have money to earn, they will definitely not have any burden, and of course they have to be exposed, and it is okay if they don't make up one......
Uh, how is it made up?
I obviously listened to my grandfather, and of course what my grandfather said was right.
As for looking for my grandfather to testify?
He has been dead for more than ten years, if you have the ability, you can go and testify!
But this is none of Yang Feng's business, even if he records these Diao people forgery? What is true or false, false or true, these are already a thing of the past, Ambassador Yang is just because of personal curiosity, purely a personal hobby, and not an official record of history, even if it is really for a certain Confucian ancestor, he has collected some anecdotes that are not recognized by him......
Then collect it.
There are many anecdotes and wild history, and Yang Feng is not bad.
Those literati notes even have fantasy-oriented anecdotes and wild histories!
They can record the history of fantasy and the wild, add stories of gods and ghosts to a certain famous minister, and they will not be responsible for the truth or falsehood, why can't Ambassador Yang record some wild history that is different from what his descendants say, and even the imperial history can be heard, why can't Ambassador Yang be heard and make a record of the second minister?
Private act!
It's purely private!
There is no need to be responsible for the authenticity or fakeness!
Besides, this was originally the usual method used by Confucian scholars to stink some people.
Why, the monk touched it, I can't touch it?
"Your Highness, we are indeed not here to settle anything.
It's about letting future generations remember what should be remembered.
Everything that happened back then is indeed in the past.
However, it cannot be covered up, let alone annihilated in history, it is real and should not be forgotten, we had a saying at that time, forgetting history means betrayal, betrayal of conscience, betrayal of those true loyal and righteous people. His Majesty the Emperor imprisoned the families of Liumengyan, Huang Wanshi and others, and degraded the Pu Shougeng family as a lowly membership, all of which were enough to set an example for centuries, but were they the only ones back then?
Take a look at these names.
Unspoken friends, Pingjiang prefect, surrender of the city, Wang Jiweng, Fujian set up the envoy, with the map to offer Hu Yuan as the internal response, Zhao Mengchuan, the coastal set of the envoy, Zhiqing Yuanfu.
These are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Zhao Mengchuan is still a clan.
And what did they get in exchange for betraying the Zhao family and surrendering?
Wang Jiweng's son Wang Duzhong has always been Hu Yuan's Shangshu, and Kublai Khan gave 8,000 acres of land at one time.
If the betrayers are rich and noble, how can the dead turn a blind eye?
Indeed, a hundred years have passed since the incident, and the Ming Dynasty is not the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no obligation to punish its traitors for the Zhao family, but at least let the people know and let future generations remember their names. Instead of letting their descendants who have inherited Confucianism beautify their behavior with selfishness, cover up their despicability, or even change their treachery to loyalty, so that future generations will forget the truth. The strongest weapon in the hands of these Confucian scholars is the pen in their hands, and you must understand that the history we see now is not the real history, but the history described in words.
It is the so-called history that the people who write history let us know.
Whoever masters this pen will have the ability to influence the cognition of future generations.
I got the pen in my hands.
I can turn loyal ministers into traitors, traitors into loyal ministers, and if I master this pen, I can turn Qin Hui into a loyal minister who takes into account the overall situation and thinks deeply for the country and the people, and turns Yue Wumu into an ambitious warlord. Then when I distorted the history from generation to generation, after a hundred years, when no one remembered the real history, people believed that Qin Hui was a loyal minister and Yue Wumu was a warlord.
And now this pen is in the hands of those Confucian scholars.
And how many of those Confucian scholars were the descendants of these traitors? Many of the people who died were left without descendants, and those who were taken away by the cliffs and mountains were the loyalty of the vast majority of the Great Song Dynasty, and even if not all of the people who survived, a large part of them betrayed the Zhao family. They have power and wealth in Hu Yuan, and it is easy to continue their family and the knowledge passed down by their family, and their descendants can easily become Jinshi by virtue of these imperial examinations. So they became the official eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, continued to master this pen, and continued to record the so-called history that they wanted future generations to know.
Isn't it scary.
The history we know is not history, but the history that others have instilled in our heads.
They dominate our perceptions. ”
Yang Feng bewitched the imperial grandson.
His harvest is still very rich, and now there are dozens of people in the Erchen Record, after all, there are still a lot of records in the official history books, but his five hundred guan is to find out the situation of his descendants, and it is useless to just give him a few names, at most he has to get dozens of guan.
If you want to get 500 times, you have to keep digging.
Dig deeper.
The descendants of these people were dug up, and then the records of the second ministers were compiled into a book and given to schools around the country for free.
"So the court wants to master this pen?"
The imperial grandson said very consciously.
"Then who will form the imperial court, is it not the same as Confucianism?
Isn't the historical result of Confucian cultivation the same?
The history of the Yuan Dynasty was repaired by Song Lian.
The exaggeration of detachment is like the immortality of the Great Yuan, but in fact, the real reason is that Song Lian's teacher is called Wu Lai, Wu Lai's father is called Wu Zhifang, and Wu Zhifang's student is called Tuotuo, and he is the hope of Confucian students in Hu Yuan. But in fact, he did all the money and river opening that finally ignited the fuse of Hu Yuan's chaos in the world, and as for the defeat of the siege of Gaoyou, it only proved that he did not understand military affairs at all, and also collected 400,000 troops from all over the country, including the Western Regions, and the last one to do this was called Fu Jian. And the real reason for Hu Yuan's demise was nothing more than a conquering power, which had lost its ability to rule after a long period of ease due to the weakening of force.
The Red Turban Army has penetrated the entire North!
Even the upper part was burned.
Is this still the invincible Mongol cavalry of the year?
Was a group of farmers with no backup, chiseled through thousands of miles from Shandong to Henan to Hebei to Shanxi and then hit North Korea in one go?
Even the Mongolian cavalry that they can't stop, even if they give Hu Yuan ten escapes, what can they do? How many Mongols fought for Hu Yuan after that? Is Chen Youding a Mongolian? Is Li Siqi a Mongol? Is Zhang Liangbi a Mongolian? When more than half of Hu Yuan's defenders were Han Chinese, what was the basis for their rule as a conquering power? ”
Yang Feng said.
The fundamental reason why Totok was touted by Yuan Shi is as simple as that.
He was a student of Wu Zhifang.
Wu Zhifang's son is called Wu Lai, and he is the teacher of Song Lian, the editor-in-chief of the Yuan History.
He actually hastened the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.
Including the defeat of the later siege of Gaoyou, it was not because he was taken, it was purely because Zhang Shicheng's stubborn defense lasted too long, which led to the complete collapse of the Yuan Dynasty's finances, and the reason why it collapsed in three months was because he mobilized too many troops. As for why the 400,000 allied forces of various ethnic groups couldn't open a Gaoyou City in three months, Fu Jian had already told him about this, and if he couldn't fight a bunch of conquered peoples, if he couldn't fight a tailwind battle like a bamboo, the result would be to collapse by himself. Did the coalition forces gathered from the Western Regions, Tibet, Goryeo, etc., hope that the Yuan army will win? What they really hope for is the defeat of the Yuan army! Only when the Yuan army is defeated will the people behind them have a chance to get rid of slavery.
I don't even understand this, the only thing that can prove it is to get rid of stupidity!
Then he gathered together so many conquered peoples with evil intentions, and showed them the weakness of the Great Yuan Dynasty very sincerely, telling them that we Mongols were now so weakened that we could not even conquer a single city.
Unreservedly told them that the Mongol iron cavalry that once suppressed everything was gone.
Even the salt dealers can't beat it.
Even the rebellious peasants could not be suppressed.
At this time, of course, those guys with ghosts in their hearts fell into the well happily?
Otherwise, is it shameful and courageous, everyone is eager to be the first to pacify the thieves for Dayuan?
Why?
Just because of the love that your Great Yuan Dynasty has for us?
Then, like Fu Jian, it was followed by the collapse of the armies, and these disintegrating armies of the various nationalities became an important driving force for the destruction of the north and the destruction of order. This is the real detachment, on the downhill road of the collapse of the empire, there must always be someone who steps on the accelerator, and he is the one who stepped on the accelerator on the downhill road of the collapse of the Great Yuan Empire.
"You see, Confucianism not only dominates our perception of history, but also dominates our evaluation of capable and mediocre ministers and even loyal traitors.
It can be said that it dominates our minds.
In our opinion, the conscientious Wenchen actually only serves his ass, and he speaks for whichever side he sits, and we can't expect the history books of Confucian scholars to describe history without describing history from the standpoint of Confucianism. We have no way of knowing what they tampered with in the history books, deliberately omitted anything, or even made up what they made up, after all, Confucius had already sharpened the Spring and Autumn Period, which is their arguably basic operation. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Then who can repair history?"
The imperial grandson's brain is already a little overloaded.
"It's simple, anyone can do it.
As long as you are literate, you can study history, which is originally a matter of written records, and as long as you are literate, you can write down what you know has happened, this is history.
Anyone can write!
As long as you can write.
So what we need to do is to open the wisdom of the people, educate the common people, so that everyone can read and write, when the wisdom of the people is opened, they can naturally learn to discriminate, after all, there are some things as long as the people can think and find problems. But the content of education can no longer be to teach Confucianism, the purpose of educating the people is to open up the wisdom of the people so that they can learn to think, not to cultivate a new group of Confucian students.
We teach them literacy, arithmetic, basic science, and even physical fitness, simple medical knowledge.
Then pick the ones that are good at learning in a certain area.
Let them learn more deeply.
Supplemented by the reformed imperial examinations, they became jinshi outside of Confucianism.
At that time, we didn't need to care, they would naturally think, they would find the problems of the past, and then they would think about how to solve them, and the record of history was only the simplest, arguably the most insignificant of them. They don't even need to be special history books, and the words they use to record things on a daily basis can be used as part of the history books to serve as the basis for future generations to understand the history they experienced. Now we really can't change the Confucian control, after all, we don't even have many literate people now, but what we need to do is to take back control of education from now on. ”
Yang Feng said.
"But today's schools are all Confucian, from the village society to the Guozijian, all of them are Confucian, how can we take it back?"
The imperial grandson said.
"It's simple, let's do it alone.
With the joint operation of the Great Xia State and the Ming Dynasty, and then the Great Xia State paid for the establishment of schools in the private sector, the Ming recognized its academic qualifications, such as the same as the official school, to each such school every year to show talents, and the one who was admitted was the show talent. The township examination is also divided into subjects, and the miscellaneous subjects are examined, and these miscellaneous subjects are then in the capital to participate in the examination and the miscellaneous scholars, and whether they are miscellaneous scholars or Confucian scholars, they are all the same Jinshi, and they are the same officials. ”
Yang Feng said.
That's the most ruthless.
The most that Erchenlu is to disgust the Confucian students.
But this is the roots.
The biggest bargaining chip in the hands of the Confucian scholars is actually the right to education, because from the local government to the imperial court, all educational institutions are controlled by them.
At most, there is a medicine, but medicine is not open, but local doctors, they have nothing to do with the real education system, doctors go to medicine to become doctors, take the route of Huimin Pharmacy, and finally go all the way to Tai Hospital, which is a separate system.
However, in the local area, from rural social studies, to county schools, all the way to Guozijian, all of them are controlled by Confucian education, which is the biggest reliance of Confucian students, and they have a new force that can be continuously supplied throughout the country. As long as you are the enemy of Confucianism, it is a big deal to wait for the next generation, and then not the next generation, as long as the right to educate is in hand, we will win from generation to generation. Zhu Yuanzhang lost in a sense like this, when he was alive, Confucianism couldn't fight him, and after he died, he tried to rely on Zhu Yunwen to turn over and failed.
But what Confucianism had was time.
The next generation of new Confucian scholars will take over their tasks, and they will be the victors in the end.
So if you want to win, you have to start with education.
Of course, the real change that Yang Feng wanted also began with the establishment of these schools.
Open the ...... of people's intelligence
Could it be that after the people's wisdom is opened, they will only deal with Confucianism?
At that time, Confucianism was a fart, and the imperial power was the most unbearable after the opening of the people's wisdom.
Of course, this is to coax the imperial grandson, it is estimated that he can't coax Zhu Yuanzhang, he can already see at a glance what the real danger of this plan is, so he will definitely not agree, but fortunately, he has three years left.
