Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhu Yuanzhang's Thoughts

Zhu Yuanzhang asked He Xi lightly and said, "How was the talk?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked through the file in his hand a little carelessly, and He Xi did not realize that this file was nothing else, but a record of the conversation between the two sides retold by Zhang Du. It was when He Xi was discussing with Fang Xiaoru that Zhang Du silently wrote it down. Although Zhang Du does not have the ability to forget, he still has a little shorthand means. He quickly began recording after the two left.

I dare not say that it is foolproof, but it is not bad.

For He Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang is always busy. There is hardly a special time to see him, and when he is generally summoned, there are also a few volumes of music in his hand, very common things, He Xi did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at this.

He Xi said: "It's going well. Then he said the conversation between him and Fang Xiaoru.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually silently matched Zhang Du's record in his heart, and found that it was not bad. I didn't continue to ask about these contents. Instead, he said, "Actually, I have always been dissatisfied with the science of science, but do you know why I have spared no effort to promote the science of science since I ascended the throne? ”

He Xi said, "Please give your majesty advice." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You say that the reason why Huaxia is Huaxia? ”

He Xi groaned and said: "China has great etiquette, so it is called summer; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then do you know what it was like in the Yuan Dynasty? Without waiting for He Xi to speak, he said: "In the Central Plains, braided hair is rampant, as if it is the formal dress in the world, I don't know what the prestige of the Han family is?" As for the favor cult, fornication - disorder sinks. Not to mention, as for the monarch and minister, there is the Dance of the Eighteen Heavenly Demons. Monarchs and ministers have fun together, open an uncovered conference, the world thinks it is ordinary, and I don't know what shame is? As for the people, uncles accept sisters-in-law, and sons accept mothers-in-law. I thought it was an ordinary thing, but I didn't know how to write shame. Is this kind of world China? ”

"If I don't use the etiquette of Confucianism and the hearts of the people in the world, how can I rule the world?"

"It has nothing to do with liking it or not. It's something that has to be done, to set things right. ”

"In fact, although it has been going on for more than ten years, the people are filthy, and I haven't finished cleaning up. Because all the ministers in the world are not in line with my wishes, Yuan Zhi has no way to do this, and the Confucian ministers in the world are not willing to make full use of it. ”

"This kind of chaos must be carried out."

He Xi was stunned, this was something he had never understood. Maybe the place where he is always there is Nanjing, what is Nanjing? It is the city of the Ming Dynasty, the place where Zhu Yuanzhang has been operating for the longest time, and the place where Zhu Yuanzhang is prosperous. Any policy is best executed here. Therefore, He Xi didn't see it here, a lot of fancy clothes. I didn't see any braids in my beard.

But the whole world is not like Nanjing. The prosperity of Nanjing is based on administrative resources, and it does not represent the world, but at most it can represent the people's sentiments on both sides of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River.

He Xi thought about it, and had to admit that Zhu Yuanzhang might really want to do this.

Not to mention anything else, this kind of step-marriage system, even He Xi felt uncomfortable when he heard it. It's simply unacceptable. There are other messy customs, and ideas.

The mind of the Yuan Dynasty can be said to be open, or it can be said to be chaotic.

Islam is popular in China, and even the Mongol princes have a civil war because of the Christian faith, what immortality, Quanzhen religion, Lamaism. It's everywhere. And the portions are heavy.

The reason for this is the lack of the core of the ruling ideology of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty did not know how to govern the country at all. So this variety of religions has replaced many Confucian functions.

If there is no Zhu Yuanzhang, this case. Will the Chinese of later generations still be Chinese?

He Xi said: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Shengming doesn't have to. Fang Xiaoru will not go against you in the future, and even the prince will ask Fang Xiaoru to come forward for you. Don't be so sharp in your words from now on. Whatever you say, this time is good, isn't it? ”

He Xi didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions for a while. A pair of clear and stupid eyes looked at He Xi.

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "From today onwards, Fang Xiaoru will be your ally." ”

He Xi had a little prediction in his heart, but he was still taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Fang Xiaoru are fundamentally different from ice and fire. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I know, I haven't let you be in the same furnace now. If there's really any problem, let's talk about it in the same furnace. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What do you think I want to do in Guozijian?" ”

He Xi said: "Spread the scientific knowledge of future generations. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This is one of them. ”

He Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Build momentum for the reform of the law." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes or no, in fact, it should be said that it is more a wind." ”

He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Blowing the wind? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In today's situation, no one in the world can stop me from doing anything. Propaganda is to make people understand and follow. And blowing the wind is to let the world know that what you have to do is what I support. ”

"Now the two things have been almost done, although the Mingjian Hall and the College of Engineering and Science have only made a start, but I can also see that the most important thing in these two places is not how much you teach, but whether they can study their own knowledge. Maintain academic innovation, after all, the knowledge you bring to the table is estimated to be less than one in a thousand in future generations. ”

"It doesn't matter if you teach more or less."

"And Fang Xiaoru will come forward for you in the future. Plus, I'm here. There will be no problem with the Kyoshi. But in the same way, Jingshi is the most important thing in the world, and many things cannot be done in Jingshi first. The impact is too significant. ”

When He Xi heard this, he realized something in his heart and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's time for you to leave Beijing." ”

He Xi said: "Out of Beijing? Where to go? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It doesn't matter where you go out. Anywhere in the world, the choice is yours. As long as you feel like you can. I can arrange it. If you don't experience the place, you will never be able to understand the Ming Dynasty. If you can't understand the Ming Dynasty, many of your policies will be deformed. ”

"For example, what you envision now is taken for granted."

He Xi only felt deafening, and he always felt that he could copy some of the policies of later generations to this era, even if it didn't work, just modify them slightly. Thinking about it at this moment, I suddenly felt ashamed.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang said, he actually didn't know what the Ming people were like. What is the situation of the withering of the north, especially the northern folk, more than two centuries of alien rule, how much Han identity do they have?

These were all questions he had never thought about.

He only subconsciously compared the middle and late Ming Dynasty with the present. I didn't know that there was a huge difference between the two.

He Xi said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your advice, the minister knows his mistake." It's just that Your Majesty thinks the minister should go? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Where to go, do you want to do it yourself?" But now there is no hurry, you still have a lot of things to do in Jingshi. For example, the Coal and Iron Division was established, and the Guozijian arranged it. It's better to let Anqing have a child. ”

"In this way, I can let you out of Beijing."

After more than a year of running-in, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in He Xi is already very high, otherwise he would not easily let He Xi go out of Beijing, this time out of Beijing, it is not the last time he went to Hangzhou to handle Guo Huan's case, but he is working abroad, and it is very likely that he will go for a few years.

If He Xi has the heart to get out of his sight, this is the best moment.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is very sure that He Xi will never do this.

He Xi didn't think about breaking away from the Ming Dynasty at all. Because he had long figured out that apart from the Ming Dynasty, there was no force in this world that could allow him to achieve his revenge.

At the moment, he just didn't think about where to go?

This is a place where you can quickly realize your ideas, and secondly, it is easy to build up your work. In his heart, he didn't have a plan for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask much, and said, "You go back and think about it." By the way, I will wrap up all the business. ”

He Xi said: "Erchen understands. Then he bowed and withdrew.

He walked out of the Qianqing Palace, looked up at the blue sky and white sun, and silently flashed the map of all places in the Ming Dynasty in his heart. Secretly said: "Where are you going?" ”
