Chapter 65 Those who know me, Jun also

He Xi gave up the position of first assistant, in fact, not everyone was satisfied.

After all, such a thing as He Xi's departure from the throne affects the interests of many people.

Some people even came to He Xi and presented a big plan to He Xi.

What kind of plan?

Naturally, it is a rebellion plan....

It's even very feasible.

After all, He Xi's potential power in Beijing is too great. Even the army on the surface is still under the control of Ping An. But He Xi deliberately did it and suddenly made a difficulty, not because he didn't take the imperial city. It is not a question of how to seize the power of the world with the latent forces of the future.

It's just that this is the path He Xi doesn't want to take the most.

He Xi won the world, and the most advantageous thing was not He Xi himself. It's the nascent capitalism. They may not be realised. But capitalism took place in Western Europe, and industrial capital appeared in England, which in essence was the decline of royal power.

The royal power cannot control the overall situation, so that capital has a tendency to grow savagely.

And if He Xi seizes the Zhu family, the most likely thing is that there will be a split within the Chinese civilization circle, and a long-term war, and in order to deal with the pressure from all sides. After He Xi, the He family dynasty will decline faster than the Zhu family, without him, the throne is not right, and a large-scale compromise must be made.

Then will be the golden age of capitalist development. But the fate of the He dynasty in the future can also be imagined.

He Xi is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person after all, he really doesn't want to send his children and grandchildren to the eye of the storm, the Tianzhu He family will definitely be a famous family in the future. Generations of people. However, the He family of the royal family is very likely to cut off their children and grandchildren, and there will be no bloodline from now on.

"The other way is to hold the position of power, and this chief assistant can serve for a few more years. My lord, you are prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, don't say that you have been one term, and then you will be four or five terms, it is not impossible. Even, the emperor of this world always lives less than the minister. Your Excellency, you are not much older than Your Majesty today. Perhaps, it is not impossible for adults to do one thing."

"That's the second one."

Huang Zicheng said indifferently.

When He Xi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and there was an atmosphere of not taking the emperor in his eyes in these words.

I have to say that after the concept of the Mandate of Heaven was broken, the emperor's influence from the Mandate of Heaven to democracy was actually very far-reaching, and many people have not jumped out of the old concept.

For example, the Mandate of Heaven naturally uses God to endorse a family name. Democracy, on the other hand, is supported by all the people, and it seems that there is no problem between the two.

But the problem is big.

The doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven is actually the theory of blood, that is to say, the emperor inherits the world, essentially relying on the noble race, that is, Lao Tzu is the emperor, and the son is also the emperor, which is a matter of course.

And democracy, that is, there is no way to inherit it.

It can't be said that the emperor Lao Tzu can be supported by the people of the world, and the emperor's son will also be supported by the people of the world. There are a lot of problems here.

I can't bear to think about it.

Now many people haven't thought about it, such as Zhu Xiongying. Although he is shrewd, he thinks too little about many things. I didn't understand the concept of destiny and democracy, the Son of Heaven, and the Lord of all peoples. It seems to be two expressions of the same concept, but in essence, they are completely different.

Lineage and destiny can be inherited, but prestige and prestige cannot be inherited.

In other words, the concept of the Mandate of Heaven and the emperor system are naturally compatible, while democracy and the emperor are completely in conflict. The conflict between ideology and reality laid many hidden dangers for the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the change of mind takes time. A lot of people don't have this keen feeling. It's as if most ordinary people can't see the subtle words written in the government work report and the constitution.

And that doesn't include some smart people.

And people like Huang Zicheng are first-class smart people. At the same time, he followed He Xi for the longest time, and he was idle for a while, so he was able to think carefully about some questions that he would not think about on weekdays.

Huang Zicheng himself hasn't felt it yet. But he himself has put his loyalty to Zhu Xiongying

In the second place, the first is loyalty to the country and the country.

At this moment, Huang Zicheng is a veritable minister of the society.

In fact, he didn't like He Xi's usurpation the most.

Because this hurt Daming too much.

This is also the reason why Huang Zicheng came to persuade He Xi, not just for the position of first assistant.

He Xi heard the meaning from Huang Zicheng's mouth. I couldn't help but laugh. In this laughter, there is a sense of excitement to get to know Huang Zicheng again.

For the first time in so many years, He Xi heard it from other people's mouths and heard the recognition of his own beliefs.

It's a very good feeling.

Passed down from generation to generation, He Xi's thoughts have always been a lonely action. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang and others, who knew that He Xi was the person of the future, it was actually difficult to fully understand He Xi.

Now, Huang Zicheng's thoughts today cannot completely satisfy He Xi, but he has already seen that Huang Zicheng is just a beginning, which also proves that He Xi's thinking is right.

Now that Daming has been regarded as the direction has been determined.

The likelihood of repetition is already slim.

Ming imperialism has been determined. There can be no recurrence. It's just that after Ming imperialism, what kind of road will it take? He Xi didn't know.

The first one doesn't know because he doesn't know what the future holds, and the future is at least a few decades away. He Xi can't see it.

The second one doesn't know, that is, I don't know what kind of flowers will bloom after the ideas he brought are localized in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the three sources of Marxism are the philosophy of German classicism, the British political economy, and the doctrine of utopian socialism. And these three sources are deeply rooted in Western society.

He Xi fused his doctrine with Confucianism. This melting is mutual. Even He Xi can't help but admit one thing, the biggest characteristic of Confucianism is its plasticity.

No matter how much He Xi opposes Confucianism, it does not hinder that He Xi's new learning is behind He Xi, no, even if He Xi does not die, it will be included in Confucianism.

In other words, He Xi's series of actions to attack Confucianism were precisely to renew the life of Confucianism.

What kind of results will this interaction produce?

He Xi didn't know.

However, looking at Huang Zicheng, He Xi suddenly became confident.

He believes, he believes, that his career is an heir after all. As long as there are people who yearn for the light. People always have to develop before, turbulent rapids, a hundred turns and a thousand turns, and finally go to the sea.

Perhaps some detours are made up for by hundreds or thousands of years, or perhaps, some mistakes will be made up for by the sacrifices of tens of thousands, millions, or even more people.

However, Chinese civilization has this kind of inertia and resoluteness of self-correction.

Whether history has any time or no is very important to the Ming Dynasty. Whether there is any sunset in history is not too important for Chinese civilization.

Thought is more important than matter.

Huang Zicheng is just a microcosm of the change in the thinking of people in the world, and He Xi made his choice easier. He did not cherish his reputation, but his reputation was important to the spread of his own doctrine.

In addition, compared to the flies in the court, there is actually one thing, which is what he will do next.

He Xi smiled, restrained his thoughts, and said, "Do you think I should do this?"

Huang Zicheng said: "This is the most unwise, the world has been decided, one day of delay, Your Majesty's position will be stable for one day, fools and foolish women, you will not care who the world has today, whose credit it is. I will only know that it is the holy virtue of the Son of Heaven. And if you delay for a long time, your majesty will hate you for another day. When the time comes when I have to cede power in the future, I am afraid that the grievances are deep and difficult to resolve. When the time comes, it will still be a usurpation, retreat, why today?"

"The wise do not take it."

He Xi said, "Yes, it seems that I have to take the third path. These three paths ------."

Huang Zicheng said: "This third way is naturally like the choice of adults today, retreating bravely from the rapids.

For the sake of not being afraid, the good is like water, and it is beneficial to all things without fighting, and there is no one in the world who is like an adult."

He Xi said, "You don't have to pat yourself on the back. You know me so well. You should know what I'm worried about?"

Huang Zicheng was silent for a while, and said: "People say that it is difficult to ride a tiger, but it is difficult for adults to ride a dragon now, but only when an adult opens up a new situation and seals the domain to the outside world can he be regarded as giving himself a way to live. Otherwise, the situation today would be really difficult to solve."

"The adults have arranged for themselves the best situation. If the only thing to worry about is to worry. Probably just worried, Ninety-Five, go back on your word."

He Xi said, "Those who know me, Brother Huang."

Huang Zicheng got up and said, "If I am the next first assistant, please rest assured. I will keep you safe."

He Xi said: "It's just an ordinary thing, but this one thing is related to the lives of my family and dozens of people. I'm going to take the liberty of asking, why should I trust you?"

The emperor has never been trusted, without him, the emperor represents absolute power, power that is not restricted by anything. Any promise, or oath, to the emperor. There is no difference, when you need it, Danshu iron coupons, when you don't need it, you don't even have a chance to be punished, whether it is buried in the snow, or hung in the forest, or even committed suicide with eight knives in the body. There's something for everyone.

Once He Xi leaves his position, no matter how many of these protégés and former officials, it will be difficult to unite. After all, the Ming court is the most well-informed network. He Xi can contact the whole country and integrate his own forces in any position in the central government. And once they leave, no matter how many people there are, there is no integration, they are all scattered soldiers. Nothing.

Even for a time the emperor for the sake of influence. Don't do it to He Xi. But for a long time. Zhu Xiongying wants to settle accounts after the autumn, and He Xi has no way.

Of course, He Xi is not unprepared at all.
