Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang would not accept Yang Feng's plan that obviously harbored evil intentions.

He's not stupid!

Confucianism controls education and controls thoughts, so Yang Feng controls education not?

Confucian control education at least teaches the way of monarchs and ministers, and what Yang Feng will teach in control education is really only known to ghosts, this guy was originally spreading all kinds of fallacies and heresies in his embassy area, but it was easy to control after all. After all, at this time, the speed of information transmission is slow, and with the speed of his kind of folk circulation, it is estimated that it will take ten or eight years to spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, in fact, if he controls it a little, he can make his crooked reasoning and heresy not go out of the capital.

If this door is opened to him, wouldn't that be tantamount to opening the floodgates?

What's more, I still help him run a school.

That's digging your own grave!

What Lao Zhu wants is a family in the world, and what he wants is the Zhu family's eternal country......

Although he also admits that it is fantasy.

Empires will always perish, without exception.

However, people must have ideals after all, and they can last for as long as they can.

It was he who chose Confucianism.

It was not Confucianism who chose him.

Therefore, the principle of Confucian governance will not change.

As for him occasionally cleaning up the Confucian students, cleaning them up is for their better growth, this is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning at all, it doesn't matter how many you kill, this Confucian is like a leek, it is also a stubble to give birth to a stubble, a stubble to kill a stubble, even if there are 10,000 behind the killing of 10,000, there are still 10,000 shouting that the Holy Lord Mingjun kneels at his feet, and the kneeling posture will be more standard.

But......

What did Yang Feng teach?

With the students taught by this bastard's style, Lao Zhu really won't be more honest than himself!

At most, he was trying to survive, in order to be able to eat, very simple, he didn't even think about being an emperor, after all, it was impossible for him to have such a great ideal in that situation at that time, but the students taught by Yang Feng did not have such simple and simple thoughts as him.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to refuse the proposal of the imperial grandson, and it was rare for him to pull his grandson to say something sincere, and to make the stakes and so on, especially Yang Feng's true intentions, and then the result was not that his grandson woke up, but ......

The talk between the grandfather and grandson collapsed.

It's hard not to talk about new humans and old antiques.

On the mighty Yangtze River, the boat of Princess Hanshan went straight downstream......

"Yun Xi is obviously too deeply bewitched by you, thinking that your national theory is more reasonable, Da Ming is my father expelled the Tartars to rebuild the rivers and mountains, as long as you adhere to this concept and continue to strengthen it, instill it in the people, especially to add some legends to my father to the previous generation, such as my great-grandfather, and finally form a deep-rooted concept in the hearts of the people, then isn't it stronger than the illusory Confucian doctrine of Destiny? The biggest problem with the Mandate of Heaven theory is that it is a piece of clothing, which is worn by anyone, and the Confucian scholars wore it for Hu Yuan, for the Jurchens, for the Khitan, and even farther for Xianbei.

The dress has long since rotted.

No one really thinks that being an emperor is the mandate of heaven, after all, the son of heaven is a strong soldier.

And the Mandate of Heaven theory cannot explain those dynasties that coexist, for example, the common people must recognize the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty does claim to Jin, who is the Mandate of Heaven who is the Mandate of Heaven?

Just like the emperor of the Southern Dynasty back then, he walked barefoot in the main hall because of the star change, and later the emperor of the Northern Dynasty responded to the star change, and his angry scolding also had a destiny?

I can't explain it.

Even if Confucian scholars could indeed force out an explanation to fool people, it would be difficult to deceive people.

You're not stupid!

You can say that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is incompetent, but you have to say that Emperor Hu Yuan is good so the destiny of heaven returns, this is obviously a conscience, people obviously rely on killing many people, and no one has killed in the whole of Sichuan, if this is all the destiny of heaven, then what is wrong with the people who were killed.

You're too ruthless.

Believing in the Mandate of Heaven cannot explain these dynasties that rely on murder, because at least heaven cannot be evil, but if heaven is good, it is impossible to choose such a destiny.

Compared with the Mandate of Heaven theory, your work of rebuilding rivers and mountains to win the world is obviously more convincing to the common people, after all, it is my Ming Dynasty who has recovered Youyan in the Central Plains, and has been expelling the Tartars from Monan, and even Liaodong has been recovered.

It's real.

The common people watched.

But my dad felt that this theory was not guaranteed at all.

This is equivalent to handing over the power of appreciating the emperor to the people, and now the emperor has the ability to control the world, and the people naturally dare not say anything else, and must accept this theory, but in the future, the people are dissatisfied with the emperor, and the emperor is not capable of controlling the situation, so the people can also say that the emperor is not qualified to rule the world. After all, even if the ancestors are meritorious, they can't enjoy a thousand years, and one or two hundred years will be very face-saving, and at that time, once the emperor is unable to control it, he can use this banner to rebel against the emperor.

But the doctrine of Manifest Destiny is solid.

After all, the right to interpret the Mandate of Heaven belongs to Confucianism, and as long as Confucianism listens to the emperor, then he can explain to the emperor that the Mandate of Heaven is attributed.

And my father has now completed the subjugation of Confucianism, and the latter is also willing to explain the Mandate of Heaven to my father, at this time, it is complete nonsense to abandon the Mandate of Heaven theory and replace it with your merit theory. ”

The little princess said.

She is very concerned about this secret conversation between her ancestors and grandchildren.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid that she would tell Yang Feng again if she found out.

Everyone understands people, there is no need to hide it, what Yang Feng wants to do, of course His Majesty the Emperor knows very well, and what His Majesty the Emperor wants to do, Yang Feng basically understands.

"So it's a clash between the old and the new."

Yang Feng said in a deep voice.

In fact, from an emperor's point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking is right......

Of course, what is right does not mean that it is good for the people.

As a ruler, the most important thing is, of course, to maintain the right to rule, and the emperor is, of course, to maintain the right to rule the world for generations, and the most important means of the family world is to fool the people. The Confucian elite formed by the Confucian literati government, coupled with Confucian education and imperial examinations, formed a stable rule under the banner of the Mandate of Heaven. As for the people outside of this, just do their duty, farm honestly, work honestly, and work honestly, and it's not that there is no way for you to rise, after all, Zhang Xianzong's selling straw shoes can make him hit the list.

The early years of the dynasty!

There are many opportunities!

This is the most stable theoretical system for Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Yang Feng's set of ......

Of course, it's still good for him personally.

He also admitted that the merit theory was suitable for him, and it could even be said that it was tailor-made for him, except that he really did not have any emperor qualified, and this feeling made him very useful.

It's not stable!

This is tantamount to giving the people the right to assess the legitimacy of the emperor's rule.

Destiny is determined by God.

Heaven is ethereal, everyone doesn't understand, the way of heaven is far away, and of course, whoever has the right to interpret things that does not exist has the final say, but Yang Feng's merit theory is practical, and the actual one has different opinions. When the common people accept your rule, they say that you are an ancestor and that it should be so, and when they do not accept your rule, they say that your ancestors' legacy is exhausted, why should we listen to you as a dumb king?

Yang Feng's vicious intentions are here, adding a chain to the Zhu family's imperial power.

The emperor was subject to the supervision of the people.

You have to love the people......

Although Lao Zhu also thinks that this is what the emperor should do.

But this should be the emperor's gift to the people, not the people's requirements for the emperor, thunder, rain and dew are heaven's grace, an emperor loves the people is the emperor's grace, and an emperor can only endure if he does not care for the people.

You can't rebel under the pretext that the emperor is incompetent!

And Yang Feng's merit theory is to provide legitimacy for the emperor's incompetent rebellion for the people.

This guy is very vicious.

and also covered it up with a packaging that Zhu Yuanzhang was very comfortable with.

But Lao Zhu Hui's eyes are like torches, so he will not be blinded by his tricks.

But this kind of far-reaching thing can't be expected to be understood by a high school student like Zhu Yunxi.

He is at the age of boiling blood.

You make him accept the instinctive antipathy of something as old as Confucianism......

The new world has opened its doors before him.

Who reads the Four Books and Five Classics!

What's more, he doesn't consider the legitimacy of the imperial power at all now, after all, he is only the second generation, and in his opinion, the merit theory is more reasonable.

In this way, it will be difficult for the grandparents and grandchildren to be consistent.

"What about his cronies? Didn't you persuade him to reflect? ”

Yang Feng said.

"How many cronies does he have, Zhang Xianzong is one, but Zhang Xianzong's knowledge is far from satisfying him, after all, Zhang Xianzong has a lot of things he doesn't understand yet, Lan Yu has been injured recently, he wants to go to see Lan Yu, but he doesn't gain anything, and now he doesn't like to go.

After all, Lan Yu doesn't understand anything.

At most, it is just to tell him about the customs outside, the geography of mountains and rivers, and the quality of new firearms, but the things he likes are tantamount to a book from heaven to Lan Yu, and the two of them talk like chickens and ducks.

And he knew that the new firearms given to the army today were meant to be temporary.

Soon it will be eliminated.

If you want to say that he really trusts a cronie, there is one. ”

The little princess said.

"Who?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Me!"

The little princess said very frankly.

Yang Feng rubbed her dog's head speechlessly.

So the imperial grandson is also very lonely, as the imperial grandson, he can't find a trustworthy cronies, and this aunt who is about the same age can still have some common language with him.

The point is that no one else understands as much as he does.

He has been here with Yang Feng for many years, and he has seen all of Yang Feng's watch movies.

He already knows too much.

It's already to the point where I'm at a loss.

If you can discuss the problem with him, then at least there must be a topic for discussion, and he said, Do you know the principle of the telescope? You're a trick and a trick, so it's a fart, so get out of the way! And now there are few civil ministers and military generals in the imperial court who can discuss issues with him.

Zhang Xianzong is still okay.

But Zhang Xianzong obviously has a big gap.

"He did talk to those craftsmen, imperial doctors, especially Imperial Doctor Dai.

In addition, he often runs to the Ministry of Industry, so he has a good relationship with Yan Zimin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. ”

The little princess said.

"Yan Zimin, what is his background?"

Yang Feng asked.

He actually has a lot of contacts with Yan Zimin.

Of course, it is limited to official exchanges, in fact, Yan Shangshu, like other officials, keeps a distance from him as much as possible, and the only impression is that he is very organized and can be regarded as a qualified official, but the level of officials in the Hongwu Dynasty is not low, after all, the level is not enough to die early.

"Grain chief, because there is a lot of land and money at home, there is never a shortage of grain to the court every year, anyway, if it is not enough, he will add it himself, and he doesn't care if he has more land, so he was appreciated by my father and promoted to an official, and he has always been a secretary of the Ministry of Industry."

"Uh, there are still officials who do this?"

"This has always been the case, not only the grain chief can be promoted to an official, but a lot of my father feels that he can be an official. It's because of the opening of the imperial examination over the years that they are all Jinshi people, my father is actually old, and he really doesn't have the energy to take care of it.

In the past, he had to look at who had the talent.

Now select those jinshi and put them in the local area to be county officials, and then they will be assessed and promoted by the officials. ”

The little princess said.

That's normal.

After all, any monarch is going to take this path.

However, this Yan Zimin is very much in line with Shen Wansan's standards, and he is even from Wucheng......

At this time, there was no Shen Wansan at all.

Wucheng did have a wealthy businessman Shen Wansan in the past, but let alone Zhu Yuanzhang, he never even saw Zhang Shicheng, he was a wealthy businessman in the Yuan Dynasty, and his son later transported grain for Zhang Shicheng.

"This person can't do it, you have to arrange some young people for your nephew."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, Zhang Ying walked in.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, hurry up and sort out your disguise, let's go to Taicang."

She looked at the princess's chicken nest and said.

Taicang.

Princess Hanshan, who changed into a princess court dress amid the sound of drums, walked out of the cabin very gracefully, and then boarded the dock with the support of her attendant female officer, and a group of masters waiting for the dock hurriedly saluted......

Today is the day when Yang Feng's master group set off for India.

But the mission is not small.

A master is full of enthusiasm for this, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang restricts them too much, and they also want to rely on this mission to expand their influence in the people, so after the internal series of masters, a total of nearly 100 masters went. This is largely due to the fact that everyone knows that this kind of long-distance voyage has a high mortality rate, and there are more people who can survive if they go to a few more.

Second, there are official envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and two pedestrians from the pedestrian division serve as the principal and deputy envoys.

So the whole fleet took twelve ships.

All of them are the latest sailing boats that have been continuously improved over the past two years.

Of course, they all also come with rapid-fire guns.

After all, it was inevitable that they would encounter pirates on the way.

"Ambassador, if this trip is successful, the ambassador's merit is immeasurable!"

"Amitabha!"

……

After greeting the princess, the masters quickly turned the target of flattery to Yang Feng.

The princess is the supporting character, and the ambassador is the protagonist.

"Masters, although Yang is not a believer, but the spirit of the masters who are willing to travel far and wide in order to promote Buddhism still makes Yang admire, this journey is thousands of miles, Yang wishes all the masters a smooth journey!"

Yang Feng said in the midst of the master's surrounding.

As he spoke, he squeezed out, but then he was dumbfounded.

A familiar figure behind the masters was looking at him with a smirk, and then the people walked towards the princess seductively......

(It's sun, the whole family is finally tidy, lying down for two days, no longer has a fever, but the whole body hurts, coughing, as if there is hair in the stomach and keeps sweeping.) ）
