Chapter 342: Exhausted Zhu Yuanzhang

Qin Yu YY came out of a free, equal, and powerful feudal dynasty, and never thought that an emperor would really do this. Therefore, there is no consideration at all about whether equality and freedom can be implemented in the feudal dynasty.

How did he know that the village chief Huang in front of him was Emperor Zhu?

I would never have thought that Emperor Zhu would take his idea seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang regarded Qin Yu's words as an immortal's guidance, and now when he heard Li Shanchang's questioning, he instantly suspected that he was saying this out of selfishness, fearing freedom and equality, which would damage his privilege as a nobleman.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has no such intention!" Li Shanchang immediately felt the change in the emperor's tone, and said, "What the old minister means is that if everyone is equal, how can the emperor's dignity be reflected?"

"It doesn't matter if the ministers are the same as the people, but the emperor ...... If everyone is equal, will the emperor also be equal to the people?"

"Tao Te Ching clouds: forever. Therefore, those who can live long and long in heaven and earth can live forever because they do not generate by themselves. Isn't it selfless? Therefore, it can be selfish." Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of the "Tao Te Ching" is still very profound, saying, "The reason why heaven and earth can run forever is because the operation of heaven and earth is not for themselves, but for all things in heaven and earth."

"And the emperor is the heaven of the people."

"If the emperor does everything for the people, not for himself, then the emperor and his dynasty can be as eternal as heaven and earth. There will be no repeat of the mistakes of the previous dynasties, which will die in three hundred years."

"The series of policies we implement, if we can make the people live a good life, the people will naturally respect us."

"If we abuse the people and harm the people, although the people respect them on the surface, they will scold them in their hearts."

"Respect must come from the heart of others. If you want the people to respect us from the bottom of their hearts, you can't threaten them with power, but you have to use policies to benefit the people and make them respect them from the bottom of their hearts."

"Mr. Qin said that the emperor can only achieve the greatest selfishness with the greatest selflessness."

"If the people love their emperor from the bottom of their hearts, love their dynasty, and don't need to force or proclaim, they will love it themselves. That dynasty lasts."

"If they use power to force them to love the emperor and love the Ming Dynasty, once they encounter an invasion by foreign enemies, they will use their legs and their actual actions to prove that their love for compulsion is superficial."

"At the end of the dynasties, there were more betrayers than enemies."

"They can't be blamed for this, it's their choice."

"They used their choices to prove to the world that their dynasty is more hateful than the aliens."

"So if we want our Ming Dynasty to be passed on for thousands of generations, we must let the people of the world love the emperor from the bottom of their hearts and love the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts."

"There is an old saying that a twisted melon is not sweet."

"The people have rods and scales in their hearts, and they all know that love for Daming is just a false slogan. Loving their good life and happy days is the real thing."

"The people will only die for a better life."

"The people will not die for those who oppress them!"

"Your Majesty!" Li Shanchang retreated, "It's the old minister who is superficial."

"As for what you said that the people are equal to the emperor, it is definitely unrealistic." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Mr. Qin said that there is no absolute equality in the world. There is no such thing as absolute equality."

"It just needs to be equal within a certain range. Insist on the most important equality, such as the dignity of the people, the prosperity of the people, and the right to consult with them about the state of the state."

"The people of China are not very demanding, they don't think that everyone will be a member of the court, everyone will be an emperor."

"As long as the 'inequality' is controlled within the acceptable range of the people, and the people are not oppressed, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, and live their small lives comfortably."

"The emperor's words are really like an initiation." Liu Bowen said.

"It seems that advocating freedom and equality can really be realized in the Ming Dynasty." Li Shan said.

"Alright, stand down." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Everything is in accordance with the holy decree, and the replacement of faith in Daming will be completed as soon as possible. Let's hold the beams of this edifice of the Ming Dynasty so that it doesn't fall down for the time being, it's too physically exhausting."

"The ministers have to complete the replacement of the pillars quickly within this time, and we are already feeling physically and mentally exhausted."

"Yes!"

Suddenly, a person rushed out of the crowd of ministers and knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We all said we were tired and retreated." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, and let it go if you have a fart." The peasant-born emperor, when he was impatient, occasionally revealed his true temperament.

According to his words, when you want to scold someone, scolding that is the true temperament. If you are unhappy in your heart, you will be suspicious of embarrassment and hypocrite.

"Zhang Yuwen, the head of the Hanlin Academy, impeached Zhu Zhang, the king of Shu, and Zhu Chun, the king of Qin." Zhang Yuwen said, "They are in the Ordnance Bureau, the Ship Division, and they are doing great tricks, hoping that the emperor will see it and severely punish this unhealthy trend."

"They're working on steam-powered machines, to replace traditional textile machines, boats rowed by oarsmen. To tell you the truth, I don't believe in such a thing in the world at all."

"God made people out to let them work. If steam replaces labor, then what else do you need workers? Machines have replaced human labor, so where should many workers go? The actions of the King of Shu and the King of Qin are really against the way of heaven and endanger the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yuwen in disbelief.

The emperor had just purged Confucianism.

He dared to risk his life.

Confucianism calls science and technology, invention and creation, as miraculous skills. The word "Yin Qiao" is the sharpest knife used by the feudal nobles in the past dynasties to attack the inventions and creations of the people.

In this court, there is really no shortage of people who dare to die!

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhang Yuwen who was kneeling in front of him, and his teeth gurgled: "These remnants of Confucianism are really inexhaustible, and they can't be killed!" Someone, drag them out, cut them!"

"Yes!" In an instant, Erhu took two imperial guards, set them up, and dragged them out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, it's not a pity for the ministers to die, the ministers want to die to admonish each other! Replacing manual labor with machines is really against the way of heaven. If they really succeed in developing it, the millions of spinners in Jiangnan and the oarsmen on the ships will have nowhere to settle, and Jiangnan will be in chaos." Zhang Yuwen kept shouting,

"I hope that the emperor can wake up!"

However, no one paid any attention to him, and his voice faded away until it was gone.

"Why can't Confucian ideas be cleaned?" Zhu Yuanzhang lamented to his ministers, feeling powerless and exhausted.
