Chapter 13 Knowing that I sin against me is only spring and autumn

has just gone down to the early dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang has some things that have not yet been concluded.

First of all, Fu Youde played the Yunnan aftermath plan.

After all, Qujing, Yunnan is like a bamboo. Although the siege of Dali took a lot of twists and turns. But the difficulty, no more difficult than the battle of the White Rock River. At this moment, King Liang was already on his way back to Beijing. Fu Youde wrote a complete set of plans for pacifying Yunnan in the recital. For example, to win over those toasts, pacify those toasts, bring those places under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and assign those things to the toasts. And in those places they are to build guards, and to build cities, and so on.

There's a lot of information in that.

Zhu Yuanzhang can see that Fu Youde can be regarded as a caring person. Zhu Yuanzhang also has to consider the content of this recital.

Then there is the war in the north. Xu Da has already sent troops. Zhu Yuanzhang has already approved it.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not worried about Xu Da's use of soldiers, more than 100,000 troops were invested in this battle, and there were more than a dozen generals with knighthoods, and even King Yan and King Jin were also recruited. It was the largest military operation in the past decade, perhaps surpassing the Battle of Pingyunnan in terms of numbers. But most of the troops in Pingyunnan are foot soldiers, as well as people. But in the north, there were hundreds of thousands, and elite cavalry accounted for the vast majority. The number of war horses used far exceeded the number of people on the expedition.

It cannot be said that the power of the country is poured out, but the power of half the country is poured out.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but pay more attention.

"Father," the crown prince took Fang Xiaoru to the Qianqing Palace.

The first change He Xi brought to this world was that of the secretary and supervisor. It's already very mature. And Song Lian's death also made the prince feel a little guilty, and he took great care of Song Lian's disciple Fang Xiaoru, who had become the second-in-command of the secretary and supervisor, assisting the prince in charge of the secretary and supervisor's adjutant.

The prince took Fang Xiaoru with him every time he performed.

Zhu Yuanzhang put aside the music in his hand and said, "Yesterday, have you seen what you were asked to see?" ”

The prince said, "Erchen has already seen it. I didn't know that Brother He had such a talent. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You don't know that there are many more things. By the way, is He Xi here? ”

Xu Zheng said: "Master He is already here. Wait outside the temple. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let him come in, by the way, next time he comes back, let him go directly." ”

Xu Zheng said: "Yes." I can't help but sigh at He Xi's holy grace. After all, emperors are never easy to see. Generally, when you come to see the emperor, you have to queue up. You can see the emperor directly without queuing, which is called the Etsuji Meeting. This is already an honor that many courtiers envy. And He Xi doesn't have to queue up at all, when to come, when to come in, his treatment is estimated to be not much different from that of the prince.

The eunuchs were the most able to serve the dishes.

Seeing that He Xi was so favored, he was naturally more polite to He Xi.

In a moment, He Xi came in.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Prince, tell me, what do you think of what He Xi said in Guozijian?" ”

The prince said: "The sons are shallow in knowledge, and they are more attentive to general affairs, and what Brother He said can make up for the lack of governance." The rest, it's not so much clear. However, Fang Qing was the first disciple of Master Song, and when Master Song was there, he felt that Fang Qing was better than the blue. Let him talk about it. ”

The prince did this, on the one hand, to promote Fang Xiaoru. set up a platform for Fang Xiaoru, on the other hand, there is also the meaning of affection.

In fact, the prince still appreciates what He Xi said. However, Song Lian is a famous physicist. Under the influence of Song Lian, around the East Palace, most of them were people in science. The crown prince was regarded as a wise monarch by many Confucian ministers. They said that they couldn't move Zhu Yuanzhang, and they all put their hopes on the prince.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give He Xi's speech to the prince, and the prince already had it. There's more feedback. For example, Song Ne complained to the prince. There are many people who slander He Xi.

But the crown prince has always been gentle and generous to the outside world. But never a fool.

The prince's political sensitivity and skill are all first-class. He won't be easily shot. It's just that he also feels that this undercurrent, as a son, should let Zhu Yuanzhang know. So he came forward to Fang Xiaoru.

However, Fang Xiaoru said something. He had foresight in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as Fang Xiaoru spoke, He Xi was very uncomfortable.

Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, Prince, Lord He. Lord He said in the Guozijian Prison, deafening and deaf, opening up a great world of historiography, and after a thousand years, Lord He should also be listed among the historians of the world. Then, historiography is not the study of the world. As Lord He said, although there is a supplement to national politics, there is no way to do it. If you listen to it, you can't take it as a guideline. There is even a misunderstanding. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the prince and found that the prince didn't say a word, like a stone. Glanced at He Xi again. He Xi was not so calm. Frowning slightly. Fortunately, I have also experienced it, and I don't have an emotional face, just frowning.

Zhu Yuanzhang then said: "Fang Qing continued. ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "What is the Tao? It is the way of the holy king. The heart of the two saints, benevolence, righteousness, the outline of the monarch and the minister, and the ritual law of the society. The Holy King rules the world with this, and His Majesty has the world because of this. He Daren is historiographically innovative. There are great achievements, but the world has always been based on Taoism, and there is never anything opposite. ”

"Why should you read more sages and sages, and don't use your wisdom to the end."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, and said a little provocatively: "He Xi, what do you think of what Fang Qing said?" ”

When He Xi heard Fang Xiaoru say this, he was furious at first. Then he endured it and analyzed it carefully. At this moment, I already understand the doorway.

Fang Xiaoru's words were definitely not his alone.

This represents the ideas of many Confucian ministers.

He Xi even regretted it a little. I feel like I owe something. "How can a beggar ever have a second wife? Have a lot of chickens next door? At that time, there was Zhou Tianzi, what did they say about Wei Qi? "This limerick poem is easier said than done. But now it's getting backlashed.

Because this poem completely exposes He Xi's position.

If He Xi was a Confucian, he would never have said this.

Of course, this is just an introduction. In the historiography that He Xi talked about, there was even the inclusion of the Six Classics in historiography, and there was also a peep at the special status of Confucianism. The addition of these two makes He Xi's position fully revealed.

In this case, all Confucian scholars will not say that He Xi is good.

And Fang Xiaoru's words are also very clever. The attitude of respecting Confucianism and enslaving the hundred clans is fully revealed.

Fang Xiaoru does not pay attention to practical doctrines, in fact, on the contrary, many Confucians are all-rounders, and they have a lot of play in specific practical disciplines. They all believed that Confucianism should be the most important discipline above other disciplines, and should be used to dominate other disciplines.

Further, the biggest problem of He Xi's historiography is not how much development there is in historiography, whether these developments are right or wrong, but that it does not implement Confucian values in historiography, and does not show that the highest essence of Confucian historiography is to make rebellious ministers and thieves fearful. It is necessary to sharpen the pen to cure the spring and autumn. It shows the attitude that Confucian values dominate historiography.

Therefore, while acknowledging He Xi's talent, Fang Xiaoru said that He Xi's talent was used to the end, which meant that the road had gone astray.

He Xi thought clearly about Fang Xiaoru's attitude, there was a lot of grievances in his heart, and he was about to have a verbal battle with Fang Xiaoru in front of the palace, but he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's inexplicable eyes. His heart suddenly moved, and he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know whether what Mr. Fang said is right or right, but there is a sentence to tell Mr. Fang, know that I am guilty of me, and he is only in the spring and autumn." ”

Seeing this, Fang Xiaoru was slightly stunned, he had prepared a lot today, ready to let He Xi's true form be revealed in front of the palace. But He Xi's words made him punch full of strength into the air. He didn't say anything more, he could only say: "Lord He, it's good to have this heart." ”

Seeing this, He Xi knew that he had done the right thing.

What is the effect of debating with others? Want to convince someone? But some people can be persuaded and some people can't. For example, the students of Guozijian, although they have read the books of sages for many years, are young, even a little rebellious, and full of intellectual curiosity. It is possible to persuade. But who is Fang Xiaoru?

That's hard-hearted. Even if the ten clans are all punished, they can't shake his Confucian morality. He Xi wanted a debate, so he persuaded Fang Xiaoru. How can it be?
