Chapter 44: Only I Treat the Emperor as a Human Being
But why does Zhu Yuanzhang need others to teach him what is called human nature?
From a beggar to an emperor, he has experienced life and death, and has also encountered the separation of relatives, Queen Ma has given him the warmth of his family, and he has also been betrayed by his nephew Zhu Wenzheng.
Zhang Yi said the truth, Lao Zhu is not incomprehensible.
It's just that everyone's position is different, and it is difficult to change the concept.
What is decency and how much is decent?
If he is not a family, how can he know the difficulty of being a family?
Zhu Yuanzhang's will, how can a little child change it in just a few words?
However, when Zhang Yi said this, Lao Zhu's anger went down.
First, he has a love for Zhang Yi, a child, and secondly, he also admits that Zhang Yi is reasonable.
However, even if he understands this truth, Lao Zhu will continue to implement it in his own way, and after figuring it out, he will not bother with Zhang Yi saying that he is slamming the door.
"Do you think you know more about human nature than the emperor? Or are you smarter than him? ”
Although he let go of this matter, it is impossible for the emperor to admit defeat on his lips.
"Don't you dare to say ......"
Zhang Yi hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't think that as a traverser, he would definitely be able to crush the ancients, otherwise he wouldn't be honest in the Taoist temple.
"In that case, then why do you think that the emperor didn't think of the problem you thought of? Everything is not perfect, and any decision made by a king also needs to weigh the pros and cons...... Do you know what is going on in His Majesty's mind? ”
Zhang Yiyan smiled when he heard this.
Although he didn't think he would be smarter than Zhu Yuanzhang, he could see the impact of a policy from the perspective of the future.
Zhang Yi only found out at this time that Uncle Huang was actually a diehard fan of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he didn't bother to tell him more:
"If you talk about that emperor, I probably know a little better than my uncle!"
Lao Zhu sneered, he understands himself? How does he know himself?
It's just that Zhang Yi's next words made his smile freeze.
"Because, I treat the emperor as a human being!"
"What do you mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son waited for Zhang Yi's following, and Zhang Yi said:
"Uncle or Brother Huang, the emperor is just a symbol in your hearts, he is sacrosanct, and he must be wise and martial, he is a god in your hearts, not a man.
But if we strip away all the halo and treat Your Majesty as a person of flesh and blood, then why do you think Your Majesty will be all-encompassing?
Can Emperor Qin predict the death of his second emperor, didn't he also misunderstand Li Si? Tang Zong didn't talk about the stain of Xuanwu Gate, he was extremely ridiculed for the king taking pills in the first half of his life, and then he was not greedy for life and afraid of death and obsessed with pills?
Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong, and even His Majesty today, I don't deny that they are great kings, but kings can't make mistakes and can't have their own flaws?
If you look at Your Majesty as a human being and admit that he is a mortal, then when you recognize his greatness, you can also see his shortcomings! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, and after a while, he asked:
"So you think, Your Majesty's kind of ...... The little family is angry, it's him...... What's wrong? ”
Zhang Yi replied: "At least I think so, it is impossible for His Majesty not to understand the inferior root of human nature, just because of the relationship between background, everyone chooses to deal with problems in different ways.
His Majesty was born in the end of the year, and in that troubled era when human life was regarded as a mustard, he witnessed too many life and death, not to mention anything else, the disaster at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, his parents did not have to die......
It's not that the imperial court of the previous dynasty didn't send disaster relief food, but after being exploited by officials at all levels, there was not much left when it was distributed to the people! Witnessing his parents starving to death, how could the emperor not hate corrupt officials, and even officials?
This hatred has led him to instinctively tend to be more drastic when he chooses to solve the problem, but His Majesty himself may not be aware of it......"
Lao Zhu's face was constantly changing, and Zhang Yi's words really hit him in the heart.
He may not have thought about it himself, maybe his natural wariness of officials originated from the night when he knelt in front of the corpses of his parents and wept bitterly.
Maybe there was no such thing, although life was a little harder, he Zhu Chongba would not want to rebel......
On that day, the family was scattered!
He was forced to separate from his brothers, each running for survival, Lao Zhu saw too many victims starving to death along the way, and those officials and old men were high......
The seeds of hatred were probably planted at that time, right?
Zhang Yi's big reason did not convince Zhu Yuanzhang, but his remarks about treating Zhu Yuanzhang as a human being made Lao Zhu introspect.
That experience had two indelible effects on the emperor, distrust of the world and longing for family...... For the princes of the Ming Dynasty, especially the crown princes of the current dynasty, they can be said to be the luckiest princes in all dynasties, because their father is the father, not the emperor......"
Zhang Yi continued to talk about his analysis, Zhu Biao was on the side, and couldn't help but sit up straight.
He has been taught by a great Confucianism like Song Lian since he was a child, and he is naturally familiar with history books, and the kings and princes of previous dynasties are called father and son, but more are still monarchs and ministers, and even ...... Vaguely opposed!
The king needs the prince to inherit the world, but he is always on guard against the prince's excessive power and elevating himself.
Under the distortion of power, the father is not like the father, and the son is not like the son.
That's why there is a saying that there is no family affection in heaven.
But in the Zhu family under the protection of Zhu Yuanzhang's wings, at least the emperor still fulfilled the greatest responsibility of a father.
Perhaps, as the younger brother of the Zhang family said, his father has witnessed the separation of his relatives, so he cherishes the warmth of home.
And he, Zhu Biao, is the happiest prince since ancient times.
"The emperor's cherishing of his family has created the happiest group of princes in the Ming Dynasty, and the hardships he has experienced have also made him more sympathetic to the people, but for those who read......"
Zhang Yi smiled.
The warmth in the hearts of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao gradually dissipated with this sneer.
"Also because of this hatred, Your Majesty will magnify the evil of the world's scholars! My uncle asked me if the emperor was not as smart as me, and I was not as experienced as a yellow-mouthed child? Zhang Yi naturally didn't dare to compare with today's saints, but it was difficult for people to know that even if they were wise monarchs, there were times when the lights were dark! “
"So, Brother Huang asks for fame, I myself am against it, it's not that we can't live, why bother to be an official and find death? That Your Majesty, but Xiang likes to use a knife to solve problems, and being an official is fatal, who loves to be a ......"
Lao Zhu was speechless by Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi's analysis of him, he actually felt that there was a trace of truth.
It's hard for people to know that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't understand this truth, but his temperament is not as good as Li Shimin, even if some of his subordinates see his fault, they will never dare to speak out to him.
It is probably Zhang Yi, a stinky boy, who can be unscrupulous and unscrupulous.
Although he listened to some words, his mouth was unforgiving:
"As far as you are reasonable, when I can't say you, I can understand why Lao Zhang called you a bad star, just your sharp teeth, if I were your father, I would be angry with you!"
If someone called him Shaxing before, it would probably arouse Zhang Yi's heart disease, but after he reached a certain degree of reconciliation with Zhang Ming, he didn't care anymore.
He touched his head a little embarrassedly, but his face was full of smug expressions.
Old Zhu Qi Knot:
"I just entered Yingtianfu, and when I heard about you and the Chang family, I rushed here non-stop!
As a result, I chatted with you kid, and I was angry in vain! ”
Lao Zhu said it seriously, and Zhang Yi really believed it.
It turns out that the father and son of the Huang family are not in Nanjing City for a while!
And they kept coming to find themselves because of the Chang family?
