Chapter 763: Hidden War
The fourth and sixth did not leave immediately, but climbed to the upper floor of Fengtianmen City, condescendingly watching the prince being surrounded by the group of civil officials.
"Now you can feel how I felt last year, right?" Zhu Di glanced at Lao Liudao sympathetically.
"Well, the whole world is the enemy." Zhu Zhen chuckled and said, "The treatment of the villain." ”
"Not almost." Zhu Di smiled and lowered his voice and said, "I was sold by the old man at the beginning, you can't do it." ”
"That's not easy to say, look at their posture, eighty percent won't give up, in case the old man can't withstand the pressure, it's possible to sell me." The sixth man put his hands into his sleeves and shrugged his shoulders.
In fact, he is mentally prepared, what he did is not an exaggeration to say that it is an exaggeration to dig the ancestral grave of the Confucian Sect, and he will definitely be attacked by the world's corporans.
But he had to do it. Because if they don't do this, after the low tide of the Mengyuan period, the resurgence of Confucianism will completely control the Ming Dynasty, and this time their version is the suffocating 'Cheng Zhu Lixue'.
The result of the Confucian scholars using Cheng Zhu Lixue to transform the Ming Dynasty was to imprison the thoughts and actions of the people with the Three Principles and Five Constants, making China closed and backward for the first time. This is completely in conflict with Zhu Zhen's route to the ocean, and it is absolutely unacceptable to him.
Fortunately, there was also a Boss Zhu who disagreed with Confucianism, which greatly delayed the Confucians' seizure of power.
In another time and space, after Boss Zhu stopped the imperial examination, he has been fighting against the civil official group and the huge Confucian forces behind them.
On the one hand, he vigorously weakened the influence of Confucius and Mencius, thwarting attempts by civil officials to restore the imperial examinations. On the one hand, he tried his best to find a substitute for Confucianism to govern the country in their place.
Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor who does not look at his background and appoints people on the basis of merit, he has appointed monks, Taoist priests, officials, merchants, and old farmers as officials, as long as they have the ability, they will be officials, hoping that they can replace Confucianism and help them govern the country well.
It's a pity that the technical content of such a thing as governing the country is still very high. How is it possible for a group of laymen to govern a good country? Although there are some talents available, it is generally of little use.
Moreover, such a large country needs a large number of officials to operate, so it cannot only rely on the emperor to promote, but also has an institutionalized selection mechanism to continuously deliver talents.
Zhu Yuanzhang tried to restore the recommendation system and cultivate talents by himself in Guozixue, but he was helpless and lonely, and it didn't work. The former, most of the recommended ones are unbearable, and even many of them are illiterate, so they don't have any use at all.
The latter has cultivated a lot of talents, but the problem is that the teachers of Guozixue are all Confucian students, so Guozisheng has also been educated in the shape of Confucius.
After they entered the imperial court and became officials, Confucianism greatly strengthened. When the officials who were born in the country also resolutely called for the resumption of the imperial examination, Boss Zhu had no choice at all.
Finally, in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the imperial examination was resumed......
After that, the power of Confucianism swelled rapidly, and they not only completely monopolized the civil service, but also brainwashed the grandson Zhu Yunwen into a fanatical Confucian.
After Zhu Yunwen became the emperor, the new generation of Confucian elites led by Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru began to eagerly practice their political ideals, and wanted to use science to transform the Ming Dynasty into an ideal country of Confucianism.
It's just that there was a little accident on the way, they encouraged Emperor Jianwen to cut the domain, and as a result, the battle of Jingyan was cut, Zhu Yunwen became an acquaintance with a fire, and the fourth evolved into eternal happiness.
Because of the identity of the fourth 'usurper thief', he was naturally incompatible with Confucianism during his reign, so Confucianism's transformation of the Ming Dynasty could only return to zero and stop temporarily.
Fortunately, the fourth child was able to display his talents and strategies without restraint, five expeditions to Mobei, seven to the West, rebuilding canals, counties and counties, and compiling the "Yongle Canon...... Wenzhi martial arts, shaking the past and the present, let the Ming Dynasty go to the peak.
However, the wise gods and martial artists such as the Yongle Emperor could not find a replacement for Confucianism, so they could only pinch their noses and continue to use them.
So what should come will come after all, after Zhu Di's death, his children and grandchildren couldn't resist the counterattack of Confucianism at all. The Confucian scholars stopped going to the West, withdrew the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, and abandoned the Nurgandu Division...... The knives and guns were put into storage, the horses were put in Nanshan, and the door was closed to live a stable life of destroying people's desires and preserving heavenly principles.
During this period, the emperor occasionally had excited thoughts, but they were all held back by them.
For example, during the Chenghua period, Emperor Xianzong, the third strongest emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to rebuild the treasure ship and go to the Western Ocean, and sent a eunuch to the military department to ask for the treasure ship drawings and information on the Western Ocean.
I have to give up on my thoughts.
Later, Emperor Xianzong listened to the eunuch Xichang report on the civil strife in Annan, and wanted to send troops to Annan, rebuild the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, and sent the eunuch to the military department to ask for the entire set of archives and maps of Annan during the Yongle period......
The emperor had no choice but to give up again.
~~
Liu Daxia is just a microcosm of the Confucian civil official group, and there are thousands of Liu Daxia, woven together into a solid cage, trapping the emperor, generals and people of the Ming Dynasty firmly in it, preventing them from poking their heads out.
At that time, the gods will not be able to save the Ming Dynasty, nor will they be able to save the fate of China.
Therefore, the sixth child must take advantage of the present moment to take advantage of the thief's contempt and disgust towards Confucianism and give him another choice. Let the Ming Dynasty operate without relying on Confucianism, so that it is possible to completely change the direction of the Ming Dynasty......
Therefore, no matter how difficult this road is, no matter how many enemies there are, he must persevere to the end and make every effort to break the monopoly of Confucianism.
"Don't worry, no matter what the situation, the fourth brother will accompany you to the end." Seeing that the sixth child was silent for a long time, the fourth child thought that he had a psychological burden, and patted him on the shoulder. "Just like you did with me last year."
"Well, Fourth Brother." The sixth smiled gratefully, but gave the fourth brother a reassuring pill and said:
"But the toss of the father and the emperor is not all bad, at least we have another Mencius card in our hands, and if they want to take it back, they have to give in elsewhere."
"Haha, that's right." The fourth nodded with a smile and said, "As long as you can keep Guozi University, and wait for the first batch of college students to graduate in three years, everything will be fine." ”
"That's right." The sixth child also nodded with a smile and said: "When the time comes, if they dare to force the palace, they will all be sent to Tamna Island as mannu, just to make room for college students." ”
"Then they won't dare to make trouble." The fourth laughed and said: "So they have to get out of the way now and stir up Guozi University!" ”
"Then the Confucius Temple of Guozi University is not built? Is Mencius worthy of recovery? Lao Liu smiled evilly: "It is really a bad move for them to move out of Mencius's tablet. ”
"Yes, Confucius can still stay in the Confucius Temple in the Qinhuai River, and Mencius can't go back to the Temple of Literature now." The fourth smiled and said:
"They must restore Mencius's worthiness, or they will be sinners through the ages. Speaking of the matter of Guozi University, it really has to be in the back row. ”
ps. I won't change it tomorrow night.,Monday at half past seven to resume the regular three watches......
