Chapter 20 The monarch and the people plough together, and it is a great rebellion

Zhu Yijun II is a human being, will he be able to farm?

He really wouldn't.

The only plant he feeds is pothos, the kind of pothos that can be raised with a little water and soil, and he finally raised it to death.

It doesn't matter if you don't farm, the Ming Dynasty will farm like a carp crossing the river, countless, here is the Central Plains where the farming is engraved in the bones, even in the Wanli years, look around, this world, there are people who are more able to farm than the Ming people?

Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, wants to farm, organize some experienced old farmers, and carry out special research on planting potatoes, in fact, it is not very expensive, it is a big deal to vacate the Banzai Mountain outside the Xuanwu Gate, and farming is.

It is the Long Live Mountain planted with the old crooked neck tree, and it is the Long Live Mountain that Emperor Chongzhen chose to hang himself at the last moment.

If you can grow flowers and plants, you can also grow potatoes.

No matter how bad it is, no matter how bad it is, even if the special research fails, and the potatoes are not planted, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who is related to agriculture and mulberry, also expressed his concern for farming, which has no practical significance, and also has a strong political symbolic meaning, which can arouse the attention of the Ming Dynasty to potatoes, sweet potatoes, and this high-yield crop, which is a big profit.

You have actions, trillions of people look up, think it, and do it.

The emperor made a slight move, and the people of the world all looked at it, and they would feel that the sun was coming out in the west, what did the little emperor do? How many will be a side glance at potatoes and sweet potatoes, once anyone grows twenty or thirty stones, it is a great good deed for the people to help the world!

Empress Dowager Li was a little hesitant, the little emperor just gave her a lesson in Hongyi, Hong, that is, the heart of the world, if Luo Gongchen did not lie, there is really a grain crop with a yield of twenty or thirty stones per mu, once it is done, who in the world would dare to say that a ten-year-old man cannot rule the world?

Even if it doesn't work, it can at least show that the emperor has the heart of Hongyi and can get more recognition.

Empress Dowager Li thought about it and shook her head and said: "It's better to learn with peace of mind, practicing martial arts can also be said to be the assassination of the king and the law of the ancestors, after all, the emperor is the emperor, and he is all martial arts. ”

Empress Dowager Li didn't want to cause more trouble, she just hoped that the child could grow up safely and take over the Ming Dynasty smoothly, which could be regarded as living up to the emperor's entrustment.

Zhu Yijun still didn't give up and said, "I will definitely finish my studies." ”

"It's not because of schoolwork." Empress Dowager Li hesitated, but still explained the stakes in detail, originally Empress Dowager Li directly demanded it with authority, and there was no need to explain.

But on the day of the assassination, the little emperor knocked over the table and chair because he was evading the pursuit, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, don't blame him for losing his manners, which made the Empress Dowager Li feel related and even a little sad, how did this mother and son get to this point?

If the constraints are stricter and not explained, I am afraid that the gap between mother and child will cause a greater estrangement.

Will the ministers in the court play because of the little emperor's personal affairs of agriculture and mulberry, and point fingers at the words and deeds of the little emperor?

Yes, definitely, and it is everyone, even Zhang Juzheng may object.

The emperor is a natural nobleman, and when he sacrifices to Jumang in the spring, it is enough to symbolically hold the plow, and the most important thing is to read, to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and to be a good emperor who meets their standards.

Daming, strict etiquette.

Luo Gongchen ran away and broke his leg, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother everywhere to collect taxes on foreign ships, and this tax was not received from him Luo Gongchen, but for the state and the interior.

Yuegang City Bosi is not the only one who knows the coastal defense, there are three coastal defense officials in the Metropolitan Salary Hall alone, as well as the internal officials of the Metropolitan Salary, the Chenghai County Order, the Fujian Governor, the Patrol Press, and the Fujian Tax Division.

Luo Gongchen is generating income for the imperial court.

Just do this thing that does not harm the interests of any Ming people and generates income for the imperial court, the court and the central government are mostly opposed, and the nine classics of the country are cultivated by virtue and are gentle and far away.

The little emperor actually wants to take care of Nongsang personally, and the courtiers will definitely play a speech.

This also involves the controversy between agriculture and Confucianism.

Agronomy advocates "the common cultivation of the monarch and the people" and "equal distribution of the harvest", the common cultivation of the monarch and the people, that is, the king personally participates in the farming, and the harvest is evenly divided, which means that all the harvest should be evenly distributed to everyone.

It is impossible to achieve the equal distribution of the productive forces in the pre-Qin period, similar to the political concept of the ideal country and the great harmony of the world.

And the monarch and the people work together, this is the view that has been personally refuted by the Confucian sage Mencius!

The fourth chapter of the first chapter of Mencius Tengwen Gong records in detail how Mencius personally debated the issue of the common cultivation of the monarch and the people with the agricultural scholars, and won by Mencius by an overwhelming margin, of course, this is a one-sided record of Confucianism, and agriculture has long lost its Taoism.

This is the story of the pre-Qin era, will the Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty still use the disputes of the pre-Qin era to argue the truth of the Ming Dynasty?

Isn't this the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who holds the sword of Shang Fang of the previous dynasty and manages the Ming Dynasty?

Confucian scholars, you really do.

Because Confucianism is an extremely ancient doctrine, Confucian scholars are an extremely ancient collective, the first thing that the ministers like to do the most is above the three generations of the law, a mouth, that is, how Yao Shunyu is, it seems that if he does not quote it like this, it seems that he is not educated.

The emperor himself farmed the land, and the meat eaters in the world, wouldn't everyone have to farm the land?

This is the face of Mencius, the great sage of Confucianism, and the face of Confucian students all over the world.

The monarch and the people plough together, and it is a great rebellion!

Empress Dowager Li doesn't know how to learn, but she understands ministers, and these ministers still want to preach if they have nothing to do, let alone something.

Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, were quite dissatisfied with Confucianism, and Empress Dowager Chen felt that the ministers of the court and the central government were taking the rules and regulations of Confucianism to make a basket and put the emperor in, and the ministers were just using the word sage to restrain the emperor.

Those ministers who are deeply educated by Confucianism, powerful people, and gentlemen, as long as they have a little deference to the Confucian classics, can still ignore the country, and do not promote only perseverance, they know that they are determined to dig the corner of the Ming Dynasty?

Empress Dowager Li explained the reason earnestly, if the emperor really wants to do it, he can wait until he grows up, and wait until he is in power to do it.

Zhu Yijun fully understood Empress Dowager Li's worries, nodded and said, "The child knows." ”

After he returned to the dormitory in the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace, he neither read the books of sages nor thought about the affairs of the Jin Party, but was thinking about how to carry out the matter of planting potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Zhu Yijun didn't even care about collecting taxes on foreign ships, and all his thoughts were on these potatoes and sweet potatoes.

After a short period of weighing, he decided that he must go on, and if he wanted to get rid of the shackles of etiquette and religion of the monarch and the people cultivating together, the key to this matter was not someone else, it was Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng is in control of the cabinet, if he can firmly support his own farming and farming, and the monarch and the people will work together, then this matter may not be impossible.

Zhang Juzheng was not a traditional, old-fashioned, pedantic, and stubborn Confucian scholar, but all reformers would have doubts about the old system, and then wanted to improve it and fulfill their ambitions.

In fact, no matter what this matter is, Zhu Yijun is not a loss, even if he can't cultivate the people together in the end, causing the Ming Dynasty to pay attention to potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The ten-year-old boy Son of Heaven was worried about the world first, and he wanted to do these things for the world, but he didn't pay attention to the ways and means, after all, the little emperor had not studied Mencius, and he had only studied the Analects seriously for three days, and he didn't know how important it was.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty still have this kind of tolerance, and the courtiers who do not have this kind of tolerance are naturally the courtiers who do not cultivate benevolence and virtue and have no deference, and they should start the non-punishment and send this disloyal and unfilial courtier to the solution courtyard, and dig out the heart, liver, spleen and stomach to see if it is all black!

Zhu Yijun motioned for Zhang Hong to turn off the lights, go to bed early and get up early, and grow taller.

Zhang Hong understood His Majesty's thoughts.

When Zhang Hong left the Qianqing Palace, he waited on the side of the palace gate, did not light the lamp, and blended into the night, and waited for a long time before a palace maid hurriedly ran over.

"Tell Xu Jue?" Zhang Hong asked.

"Yes." The palace maid hurriedly replied.

Zhang Hong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Well, let's go back." ”

Xu Jue is Feng Bao's person, Xu Jue worshiped Feng Bao as the main godfather, and he is Feng Bao's henchman, and this palace maid was arranged by Zhang Hong to report to Feng Bao.

Zhang Hong found that he was more than enough to be the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, but he couldn't be the ancestor, and Zhang Hong didn't have the ability to be speechless as far as Feng Bao's Ge Shouli was speechless in the outer court.

This is an opportunity for Feng Bao, it depends on whether Feng Dajue is obedient or not.

At this time, in the Wenchang Pavilion of the Quanchu Guild Hall, Zhang Juzheng lit three bright lanterns, constantly writing and painting, he was extremely busy with official business, returned to the private house from Wenyuan Pavilion, and came to the study, he was annotating the new Four Books and Five Classics for the little emperor, and he also wanted to write a book for the emperor himself.

This emperor illustrated that it was with illustrations, for fear that the little emperor would be impatient to read, so he made some illustrations to attract children, and the illustrations were in charge of the attendant Ma Ziqiang, and the story was compiled by Zhang Juzheng himself.

Zhang Juzheng, really expected that Emperor Wanli could become a generation of Ming Jun, and on the first lunar day of the cold spring, he was not in the warm pavilion, but in the study, wearing a heavy coat, and painting in person.

The pen in Zhang Juzheng's hand is a hard pen with a graphite core sent from the palace, which is the pencil used by the little emperor.

The little emperor's dictation is right, the pencil is very easy to use, especially for Zhang Juzheng, who needs a lot of writing, without ink, the biggest benefit of continuous writing is not only to save time, but also to break the idea.

Zhang Ju is a reader, the brush words, the pavilion style is well written, this hard pen is a little used, it is extremely beautiful, after he finishes writing, it will be handed over to the document for transcription, and finally sent to the Guozijian engraving printing, and then presented to the little emperor preview.

"Master, it's already time." You Qi solemnly told Zhang Juzheng that it was time to rest, You Qi is Zhang Juzheng's big housekeeper, in Daming, this is called master, family, and the name is different, all in all, You Qi is Zhang Juzheng's henchman.

Zhang Juzheng has never said a word in private to Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal, at any time and place.

This is a taboo matter, once the first assistant of the outer court and the inner court are linked, then it is the Ming Emperor who should be frightened.

Most of the time, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng rely on eye contact, all by tacit understanding.

But there are some things that must be confirmed in private, and this You Qihe palace eunuch Xu Jue is a fellow villager.

If there is really a big thing, such as the queen mother wants to issue an order to abolish the position of the head and auxiliary of the high arch, and needs the cooperation of the outer court, Xu Jue will communicate with You Qi.

Zhang Juzheng rubbed his slightly sore eyes and said: "After writing this chapter, the thirty-six expositions of the eighty-one sage and the Fang Gui will be written, and it will be carved out tomorrow morning, and it will be used for the noon feast." ”

"There was a letter from the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to farm the land himself." You Qi said with a very strange expression.

Zhang Juzheng also looked at You Qi with a puzzled expression, and asked confusedly, "Ah?" ”

This little emperor is really a little out of the ordinary.

Learning martial arts is one of the six arts of a gentleman advocated by Confucius, and the emperor can practice or not, not afraid of hard work, not delaying his studies, and practicing it.

What's going on with this kind of place?
