Chapter 250: The Unimagined Path
"Brother, what does the Song Dynasty have to do with us, the Mongols have been driven to Mobei by us, the Khitans and Jurchens don't exist anymore, why worry so much?" Li Shanchang smiled bitterly.
"The Mongols are not finished yet, and they will make a comeback if they slack off. The Jurchens, who are still under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, have not disappeared......" Liu Bowen said in a deep voice: "As long as we follow the old path of the Song Dynasty again, believe in us, they will all make a comeback, and we will definitely repeat the mistakes of the past!" ”
"Alarmist, Brother Berwyn." Li Shanchang didn't know why Liu Bowen became like this.
Just like he never knew that Daming would also sink and lose his clothes in the future......
After glimpsing the future, Liu Bowen's biggest wish now is to change the future, so that the Ming Dynasty will not repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty, and let the Han family continue forever.
That's why he was extremely disgusted with the Song Dynasty's system of 'the monarch and the scholars share the world', 'emphasizing literature and suppressing the military', and 'the division of power, checks and balances'.
Li Shanchang had no way to understand Liu Bowen's mood, but he knew very well that only Liu Bowen could save those officials now.
When there are difficulties, finding Liu Ji is the magic weapon he has been upholding for the past 20 years......
But this time he was going to be disappointed, and even if he wore out his mouth, Liu Bowen still refused to help.
~~
"Okay, you oppose the co-rule of monarchs and ministers, do you want to make the emperor a single husband?" Li Shanchang asked helplessly.
"Mingjun's dictatorship is not a bad thing. Especially for the Ming Dynasty, which is in ruins. Liu Bowen said lightly: "I, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can be called a great Ming monarch." ”
"You're confused!" Li Shanchang said in a low voice: "Yes, you read more than me." That should be clearer. If we don't make a good start when we build the country, it will be extremely difficult for future generations to reform the system. ”
"Hmm." Liu Bowen nodded and did not deny it.
"You should also know that father and son successively, it is impossible to be a Ming monarch from generation to generation. The old man has no doubt that the upper position and the prince, and even the grandson taught by the superior and the prince, will be a generation of Ming Jun. But what about the future? The future emperor, who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman, was easily usurped by eunuchs and relatives! Didn't the Han and Tang dynasties all die like this? ”
"But Han Tang is also very capable of fighting in the end." Before Liu Bowen thought clearly about the future route, he mainly judged the quality of a dynastic system by whether he could fight in the end.
"In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hu people could still be discouraged, and the Tang Dynasty could destroy Tubo before it was cut off, which was not something that the Song Dynasty could imagine."
"Before the Northern Song Dynasty lost its breath, it also destroyed the Liao ......," Li Shanchang argued in a low voice.
"It's just stupid speculation." Liu Bowen reciprocated with the gaze of the errand student.
"The Northern Song Dynasty has never been weak, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong and them, didn't they also beat Jin Chao's farts and urine?" Li Shanchang was not convinced.
"My son of the Han family is invincible in the world." Liu Bowen said proudly: "This just shows that there is something wrong with Song's system." ”
"Why did you come back again?" Li Shanchang didn't understand, why did Liu Bowen worry about the death of the country all day long? "With the current emperor's throne. That's all a question to worry about in how many generations will come. ”
"As Taishi said, if you don't get off to a good start when the founding of the People's Republic of China is founded, it will be extremely difficult for future generations to reform the system." Liu Bowen fought back with his words: "So this head must be opened well." ”
"A monarch rules alone, once there is a single husband and a thief, the people will be miserable." Li Shanchang continued to argue: "The Son of Heaven does not distinguish between the family and the country, regards the world as private property, and treats hundreds of officials as domestic slaves, is this what your brother wants to see?" ”
"This is really bad for the officials, but what's bad for the people?" Liu Bowen said lightly: "Even if the Son of Heaven regards the world as private property, and the people as cattle and horses." But we must always think for our children and grandchildren, not to lose all our own property, but also to let the cattle and horses recuperate.
"But the scholars are not in power, the world is not their own industry, and the people are not their own cattle and horses, so they naturally will not cherish it. I only thought about how to take advantage of my reign to turn the Son of Heaven's industry into my own industry. When the new official takes office, he also wants a share of his own industry......
"May I ask the master, it is easy to satisfy the family of the Son of Heaven; Or is it not only satisfying the Son of Heaven, but also satisfying the scholars and doctors of thousands of households, which will have a heavier burden on the people? ”
"Brother, don't forget your identity, you are a scholar, not the Son of Heaven, and not a common man! Don't sit crooked! Li Shanchang raised his voice and said angrily.
"It is precisely because I am a scholar that I know that a scholar is a gentleman, but in fact he is greedy and selfish. The Song and the scholars ruled the world together, and the Jin and the scholars shared the world. It's definitely not a coincidence that my Han dynasty was at its weakest! Liu Bowen said in a deep voice:
"If there is a choice, I would rather choose the emperor to share the world with the people!"
"Share the world with the people? What is the difference between ruling by one monarch and ruling alone? Li Shanchang couldn't help laughing and said: "A group of mud-legged people know how to govern the country? Do they have what it takes? Do they deserve it? ”
"My ideal of 'sharing the world with the people' is not a disguised rule of one king, but a real channel for the people to rise. Ordinary soldiers can worship the marquis of ten thousand households with their military merits, and seal their wives and sons!
The farmer's son can also read and write, and step by step into the career of public service. Instead of letting scholars monopolize all the upward space for generations, this is what I think of as the king and the people share the world. ”
"Then you will persuade the superior to reopen the imperial examination!" Li Shan said in a long voice.
"The threshold for the imperial examination is too high, who can study hard for more than ten years in the cold for ordinary people? In the end, it was not monopolized by the gentry? Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "I see that those commoner children trained by the emperor have been studying in the country for a few years, and then they have experienced and experienced, and there will be no problem in governing the country." ”
"Crazy, crazy! You're absolutely insane! Li Shanchang looked at Liu Bowen with a pale face, feeling that this old rival had become so strange and crazy.
In addition, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he was not in the mood to eat breakfast, so he suddenly felt that the world was spinning.
Thinking that there was still a candy in his sleeve, he quickly felt it out and peeled off the candy wrapper.
"......" Seeing the color of the candy paper, Liu Bowen wanted to open his mouth to stop it.
Li Shanchang had already eaten it.
Liu Bowen had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
After slowing down for a long time, Li Shanchang's face gradually became bloody, and he stood up and said: "The Tao is not the same, and I am wrong for today's trip." ”
"It's not a day or two that we parted ways." Liu Bowen smiled indifferently.
"Farewell." As soon as Li Shanchang gave up his hand, he hurried away without looking back.
"I'm leaving, aren't you going to eat at home?" Liu Bowen smiled at his back.
"Let's do it another day...... Li Shanchang's voice trembled, and his walking posture was not very natural.
But he held the belief that 'he can't die socially like Liu Bowen', gritted his teeth and insisted on getting into his carriage.
Burst......
I can't ask for this car.
ps. First issue and then change.
