Guo Kang couldn't answer Theodora's question. After all, in this regard, there is still a big gap between ideals and reality.

This time, though, they didn't think much about it. A short time later, a monk came and knocked on the door and told them that the guests had arrived.

The scale of the visitors this time was very large, and almost all the people in King Wu's mansion appeared except for King Wu himself.

The cause of the incident was that Princess Ma said that there was a misunderstanding between Guo Kang and Princess Jeanne last time. When she inquired afterwards, she found that it was because of an expression bias in her understanding of the doctrine. So, taking advantage of the opportunity to worship the Buddha, she invited Master Daoyan, Wang Da Lama and others to analyze the meaning of the scriptures and think that it was not a big deal.

Therefore, she specially invited Princess Jeanna to come to the temple and Guo Kang to come with her. Everyone had a fast meal, communicated well in front of the Heavenly Brother Bodhisattva, and then invited the two masters to come and help resolve the misunderstanding.

Guo Kang has no objection to this. His worries, first of all, Princess Jeanne's attitude towards religion. If she's really fanatical, that's enough. Secondly, it is necessary to prevent her from taking little Jeanne crookedly. Now Zhu Wenkui's family and the Purple Horde are taking care of little Jeanna, and if she forcibly intervenes, it will be also very troublesome.

And Princess Ma's performance shows that she has been controlling the situation in the palace. With her in charge, Princess Jeanne shouldn't do anything too outrageous, at least she won't interfere with little Jeanne.

In order to prevent further accidents, he discussed the matter with Theodora.

Theodora had similar thoughts about the religious belonging of Jeanne Jr. and her daughter, and therefore supported his ideas. Moreover, she thinks more than Guo Kang.

She said that the Oriental noblewomen had the same social activities, but the noblewomen of the Ming Dynasty were more introverted than their European counterparts, so that the influence of this activity in society was not so great.

This time, it is obvious that Princess Ma is showing her influence. And this influence is their "strength" in court life. So Theodora thought it was a test to expand her influence after carefully adapting to her new environment.

Therefore, Theodora believes that Guo Kang should support Princess Ma's actions, not only to accept the invitation, but also to prepare well and behave. Because this is not only to give the other party a step, but also to encourage and support her to play her own strength and compete with Princess Jeanne.

Compared with Princess Jeanne, who runs around and has no taboos about showing her head, Princess Ma must be born to suffer. After all, it can be difficult to make your social life more open than that of a French lady...... So, she will definitely have her own way of thinking.

However, Guo Kang really doesn't know much about this.

In history, Princess Ma did not leave much detailed information. may be due to the almighty internal force bonus, Guo Kang is quite impressed by the details of various materials in the previous life. But even so, records about Princess Ma are still very scarce, and not many have been circulated to him at that time.

What can be determined at the moment is that she is the daughter of a high-ranking civil service family. Although she has also been the "Queen of Horses" in history, she should not be related to Zhu Yuanzhang's Queen Ma. Historically, she threw herself into the fire and died after Nanjing was conquered, and there are few other deeds.

Therefore, he also knows very little about Princess Ma herself, and he can't speculate about the other party's personality and way of acting. In the past few years in Dadu, the other party's performance has also been very low-key, and he really can't see anything.

And about the competition of strength between the ladies of the court, he really doesn't understand.

Guo Kang's understanding of the "palace struggle", that is, accusing each other of defiling the harem of the other party, the crime is not punishable. If there are many other aspects, his understanding is at the level of textbooks, and this aspect is the level of ghost animal materials. He didn't expect much help himself.

"So what the hell am I talking about this time?" He asked Theodora again.

"Just say what you like to talk about." Theodora said, "The bigger the topic, the better." ”

"It's okay to talk big and coax Zhu Wenkui, can you really bluff Princess Ma? The most critical problem is that Monk Yao can't be coaxed. Guo Kang pointed out.

"It's not for you to brag." Theodora smiled helplessly: "Just talk about your strategic planning and insights." ”

"Monk Daoyan is a smart man, and if he talks about some daily chores, people will definitely not be interested. You have to say what he's interested in. She taught: "He is so old that he has not traveled thousands of miles to come, or he has no desires at all, and only wants to see the world; Either he has a big request, but the current situation of the Ming Dynasty cannot satisfy him. ”

"You mean the latter?" Guo Kang thought about the deeds of Monk Daoyan, and suddenly felt that Theodora was also quite powerful.

"Isn't that common sense? These two are often the same thing. Theodora shook her head.

"He who wants nothing often asks for the greatest. It's just that this is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Just like Brother Tian and Buddha, they don't seem to have any desires, because they care about saving the world. She figuratively said.

"I don't quite know what he wants. In my opinion, you can just say some big truths and big strategies to see if you can arouse his interest. She told Guo Kang: "Anyway, you're good at these, so it's better to say them all, maybe you can meet them." You see, aren't the topics you just mentioned very creative? ”

"I can't talk about those topics directly." Guo Kang muttered.

He now seriously doubted that many of the theoretical problems he had learned before were quite large, and he was really embarrassed to directly bring out these outrageous conclusions.

According to those theories, it is often a matter of condemning the inaction of the government, or even condemning the Seris civilization for not protecting capital.

But if we go deeper, according to these conclusions, it is equivalent to saying that the artisans and peasants are too strong in action, and they have no dedication, and they are unwilling to sacrifice themselves for social progress and sacrifice their lives for the capital accumulation of the upper class, which leads to the slow development of the entire civilization and becomes more and more backward.

In his time, of course, it was okay to say that. At that time, everyone admired this set of theories very much, and there was nothing taboo about this deduced conclusion. Rather, this is exactly what many people want to say.

But the problem is that the founding of the Ming Dynasty has not been too long at this time, and Zhu Yuanzhang's background, even among the founding emperors of previous dynasties, is the most special, and everyone is very clear about his deeds. According to this theory, it is equivalent to scolding Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and even questioning the legitimacy of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Because the Yuan Dynasty was indeed more open and relaxed than the Ming Dynasty, and it also gave more preferential treatment to wealthy merchants and did not care about annexation. According to the theory, it is obviously more advanced than the Ming Dynasty.

The aristocracy in the center of the Yuan Dynasty also had more power, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which was concentrated on the emperor. Even its system is the most special since the Qin and Han dynasties:

The ten provinces established in the early Yuan Dynasty were not local administrative units like those of later generations, but were at the same level as Zhongshu Province. The province is led by the governor of Zhongshu Province, and there is no difference between the authority and the central Zhongshu Province. They are not subordinate units of the central administration, but the central administration itself. The Yuan Dynasty was made up of eleven such institutions.

Therefore, the essence of the Yuan Dynasty at that time was a co-host federation composed of the hinterland region and the ten provinces - in this way, it was more advanced.

This set of theories is tantamount to accusing Diao Min Zhu Chongba of starving to death and rebelling, which resulted in the destruction of the advanced civilization of the Great Yuan and the sinking of China from then on. When people look at this theory, they will feel that it is innuendo.

Unlike the previous life, the conservative feudal Ming Dynasty people must be unacceptable! It's not bad if you don't fight directly.
