Through the elaboration of the reasons for the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties in He Qiushu, and the comparison between the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Song dynasties, it can be regarded as a foundation for the gentry to resist the change.

He Qiu's simple booklet, combined with the book "The Wealth of Nations" he wrote before, can be regarded as giving the reformers a theoretical basis in an instant.

It's just that this theoretical basis does not come from Confucianism, but from practice, and is more similar to the pre-Qin Legalists.

I don't know how many people in Shilin today can accept it.

However, it doesn't matter to He Qiu, Zhu Di has already done what he told him, and the rest depends on Zhu Di's own wrist.

Zhu Di quickly got He Qiu's booklet, and he was also amazed at He Qiu's speed of rushing the manuscript, and after reading the text, he felt that He Qiu's talent had not been fully used!

Although this pamphlet nakedly reveals that the rise and fall of the dynasty has nothing to do with the mandate of heaven, but depends on the extent to which the emperor or the imperial court can control the people.

If this were a different dynasty, I'm afraid the emperors would have cut off He Qiu's head a long time ago.

But this is the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang himself doesn't feel that he has a destiny, and he specially asked Song Lian to do an article "The Blessing of the Palace".

It is said that the Mandate of Heaven does not exist, and the reason why he Zhu Yuanzhang was able to become the emperor was because he responded to the call of the people.

Therefore, now He Qiu's attribution of the reason for the rise and fall of the dynasty to leadership or something is not a particularly surprising statement.

The only thing worth worrying about is whether such an article can be recognized by Shilin.

To be honest, for this point, Zhu Di's heart is also a little bottomless, so he can only tentatively release this article in the black area for the high-ranking officials in the court to taste one or two.

Many people were a little dismissive when they first knew that He Qiu wrote the article, after all, He Qiu was not an orthodox literati.

The marquis was obtained because of his meritorious dedication to good seeds, and later became a relative and isolated himself from the court.

The horses of the Song and Ming dynasties and the horses of the Han and Tang dynasties are two different things, and they basically can't hold any important positions.

But this is the idea of a small number of people after all, and more people still understand the role He Qiu played in the development of Yunnan and other affairs, and they dare not underestimate He Qiu's article.

What's more, how do you know that this is not the ruling ideology revealed by Zhu Di, the emperor, through the mouth of the horse?

After all, sometimes, if some words are too deviant, it is difficult for the emperor to speak, and it is common to find a relative to hang a name.

It's just that these people were really dumbfounded after seeing He Qiu's heroic essay.

First of all, you can judge that this is definitely not an article that Zhu Di can write, which is different from his habits.

Then there is a feeling that the worldview has been overturned, which is not found in the books of the sages they read since childhood.

And there is a comparison of the data of previous dynasties, which is simply reasonable and convincing.

Fortunately, there are almost no really relatively pedantic literati in the DPRK and China now, and most of the people who are still in high positions in the DPRK are Fa-changers, and these people are relatively much more pragmatic, and they did not deny He Qiu's article at the first time.

On the contrary, they kept thinking and deduced all the way according to He Qiu's ideas, so that they faintly saw another new sky that was different from traditional Confucianism.

Yang Shiqi put down the manuscript in his hand, rubbed his red eyes, hurriedly cleaned it up, and rushed to the court.

The atmosphere of today's court meeting was particularly strange, everyone had a pair of red rabbit-like eyes, and when they were waiting outside the palace gate, they were not discussing the political affairs of the DPRK and China, but reading He Qiu's articles several times.

When someone talked about the excitement, they actually began to recite the passages in He Qiu's article on the spot, and listed some of the data.

Yang Shiqi stood in the crowd of officials, only listening to such conversations in his ears.

"This article is really hearty, and it is the first to open up a trend!"

"Isn't it! I want to let Daming chase after the Han and Tang Dynasties, but there are always no good ideas before, and the article of Liangxianghou can be called a guiding light! ”

"I just hope to hear that Liang Xianghou will personally solve my doubts and tell us the truth in this book."

At this time, Yang Shiqi suddenly saw his friend Yang Pu, and immediately squeezed away from the crowd around him, and came to Yang Pu's side and asked.

"Hongji is here, how many times have you read this Xiongwen in Liangxiang?"

Yang Pu's face was slightly red, and he said with some shame.

"Alas, I don't know how many times I've read it, but now I can memorize the article backwards."

Yang Shiqi was taken aback, originally he thought that he had read it ten times overnight, but this Yang Pu actually worked harder than him, which was really admirable.

Yang Shiqi resisted his urge to pretend to be forced and asked.

"Since Hongji can recite it backwards, I think I already have a deep understanding of the article, not only what do you think of this article by Liangxianghou?"

Yang Pu smiled bitterly and said a little gloomily.

"I'm afraid the future of Confucianism and Taoism will be extinct."

Yang Shiqi's heart jumped suddenly, is the evaluation so high?

But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Shiqi really couldn't find anything to refute.

Yes, this book directly criticizes the process of the gentry in the past dynasties asking for privileges as the process of the gradual demise of the country, and goes straight to the most fundamental relationship between relatives and relatives in the Confucian system.

If there is no relatives and relatives, there will be no great scholar clan, and how can there be stable Confucian rule without clans?

But if you look at it this way, as the largest clan in the world, will the royal family also cease to exist?

Such a bold thought quietly flashed in Yang Shiqi's heart, but he forgot about it in an instant, and such a thought should not be left again.

Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu really convinced He Qiu, and the person who can write such an article must be extraordinary, and they all silently raised their evaluation of He Qiu in their hearts.

Now they just want to wait until after the next dynasty, and hurry to He Qiu's mansion to ask for teaching, they are all smart people, and after such an article comes out, the focus of learning in the world may change.

If you don't take this opportunity to ask for teaching, maybe in the next time, you and others will slowly fall behind.

There are many people who have the same idea as them, and they are all relatively low-level officials.

And the really high-grade officials are also impressed by He Qiu's article.

They all know that when Zhu Di and even Zhu Yuanzhang were still in power, they always wanted to find a theoretical basis for the Ming Dynasty's changes.

Otherwise, I am afraid that those conservative factions will keep fighting back, and the rift between the DPRK and China will become bigger and bigger, and it will evolve into a party struggle in the Ming Dynasty.
