Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Xu Xianchun said: "I don't know if the old man knows what the Royal Academy is for?"

The old man shook his head and said: "The little old man has brought these disciples under his sect to farm here for decades, and he has long ignored the outside world. How can he know what's going on in the capital?"

Xu Xianchun chuckled, and thought to himself, "Go ahead and make it up, you're fooling around."

It may be true that your old man is farming here, but what about you warriors?Didn't they plow?

After deliberating for a while, Xu Xianchun said: "Speaking of it, the Royal Academy is actually no different from what the pragmatic school of your school does. What they study every day are all things that outsiders see as strange and ingenious. thing.

When Xu came here, he was the dean of the Royal Academy, and recommended the old gentleman to the present day, so His Majesty brought Xu here and invited the old gentleman to come out of the mountain. "

The old man couldn't help cursing inwardly.

Back then, he had a good relationship with Xu Guangqi, but now he's completely sold out by this guy.

It doesn't count if what I learned from myself was sold to the emperor, but now I have sold all the last shelters of the descendants of the Mohist sect.

Xu Xianchun didn't know what the old man was thinking, but continued: "Before Xu left, His Majesty had given instructions.

If the old gentleman agrees to leave the mountain and join the Royal Academy, the old gentleman can speak for the official position.As for the title, as long as the successor of the Mo sect has contributed to the country, the title is not a problem.

As for propagating Mozi's theory, I also depend on the old man. As long as he doesn't go too far, the old man doesn't need to think too much about Confucianism. "

The old man fell into deep thought when he heard the words.

Are the conditions offered by Xu Xianchun unattractive?

Very showing, very attractive condition.

But people like myself have been hiding their names for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are out of touch with the outside world. Even if there is no martial arts and chivalrous faction, people like myself don't know what Daming looks like outside.

Chapter 298 What is Kinghood

Seeing that although the old man was moved, he did not open his mouth to express his dissatisfaction. Xu Xianchun continued: "If you enter the country without keeping its scholars, the country will perish. If you are not in a hurry to see a virtuous person, you will slow down the king. If you are not a virtuous person, you will not be in a hurry. If you are not a scholar, you will not be in a hurry." And worry about the country."

Xu Xianchun had already done some homework since he was instructed by Emperor Chongzhen to seek out the Mohists.

The passage that came out of my mouth is the first paragraph of Mozi's relatives.

Xu Xianchun said: "When today's son went to the Royal Academy, he thought that the Mohism no longer existed in the world, and he felt a lot of emotion for Mr. Xu.

Just after Master Xu said that the heir of the Mohist family was still in Tai'an, His Majesty ordered Xu to come at night.From this, it can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to Mohism. "

The old man asked curiously: "If the old man agrees to enter Beijing, what kind of treatment can he get?"

Xu Xianchun laughed and said: "Didn't Xu just say that the official position is up to the old man, and the title of honor can be obtained by meritorious service.

Speaking of others, the old man may not know, but Mr. Xu is considered old acquaintance of the old man, right?Now, as the dean of the Royal Academy, you don't have to bow down when you see a prince. At most, you can bow your hands and have a seat in front of the emperor. How about such courtesy?

Don't worry, old man, today's world is by no means stingy.As long as it is useful to Daming, His Majesty will not be stingy with conferring officials and worshiping nobles. "

The old man nodded and asked: "May I ask Master Xu, what is the way to govern the country today? Kingly? Hegemonic? Foreign Confucianism and internal law? Internal sage and external king?"

Xu Xianchun pondered for a long while, but he couldn't figure out what kind of strategy Emperor Chongzhen used to govern the country.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Xianchun decided to repeat what Emperor Chongzhen said, and let the old man decide the rest.

After deliberating for a while, Xu Xianchun said: "Xu can't tell what strategy His Majesty uses to govern the country.

Your Majesty has always been unconstrained in his actions, but there is nothing wrong with what His Majesty says, and there is nothing wrong with what His Majesty thinks.

Xu had the honor of listening to His Majesty's lectures for orphans and young soldiers, and remembered some of them. Perhaps, His Majesty's strategy for governing the country is among them. "

The old man also said seriously: "Master Xu, please enlighten me."

Xu Xianchun hummed, and said: "Your Majesty asked the boys at that time, what is kingly way? What is domineering? Xu remembered some of them."

But after finishing speaking, Xu Xianchun said with a strange expression: "The so-called kingly way means that Lin Danhan and Jiannu provoke Daming, so we must find a way to destroy them.

The so-called overbearing means that no matter whether they provoke them or not, they must be destroyed.

As for the way of a gentleman, it is to tell them before killing them.

The so-called Dao of Ming means that the barbarians were destined to be wiped out since ancient times. "

After hearing Xu Xianchun's words, the old man couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Since ancient times, I have never heard of any emperor explaining the way of kingship and domineering in this way.

It's just that Xu Xianchun obviously didn't finish his sentence, and continued: "If you say it's an inner sage, it's really worthy of the name.

Last year, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi. His Majesty made it clear that no one of the people would be starved to death. He also used internal funds to buy grain and transport it to Shaanxi. For this reason, he killed many officials who were corrupt and harmed the people.

Just want to say that it is the king outside, in Xu's humble opinion, it is not necessarily so. "

The old man asked curiously, "How is that?"

Xu Xianchun was confused and said: "Let's not talk about Jiannu's side, just Lin Danhan's side has built more than a dozen large and small Beijing temples, all of which were built by His Majesty himself."

The old man became even more curious.

Since ancient times, Jingguan has been used to demonstrate martial arts to deter the enemy. Since the Han Dynasty, it has rarely happened that more than ten Jingguan have been built in a row. Does the current emperor really care about reputation so much?

Although the old man was very curious, he skipped the topic and asked again: "What about Xu Guangqi? Nowadays, these strange skills are very important?"

Xu Xianchun hummed, nodded and said: "That's right. The Royal Academy established by His Majesty is led by Xu Guangqi, Master Xu, and most of the research in it is the strange skills and obscene ways that those rotten scholars said.

If His Majesty ordered Master Xu to make the steam engine, he would encounter many problems.It is precisely because of this that His Majesty lamented that it is difficult to find a successor of Mozi in the world. "

Perhaps it came from the instinct of a master craftsman, or out of curiosity about unknown things, the three words steam engine clearly aroused the old man's interest: "I don't know what this steam engine is?"

Xu Xianchun shook his head and said: "Well, Xu is a martial artist, but he can't say it well. What Xu saw was just a huge instrument. You only need to burn carbon and add water, and you can use the steam after the water boils to Push forward.

But in Xu's opinion, it seems like a waste of water and carbon.That thing can only run at the same speed as ordinary people walk, so what's the use.

It's just His Majesty's intention that in the future, this object can replace horses to transport materials day and night. "

After finishing speaking, Xu Xianchun added another sentence: "This object has some similarities with the waterwheel, but it is not the same. Mister fellow countryman, let's take a look after you come to Beijing."

The old man nodded, and said: "If the old man disagrees, so what?"

Xu Xianchun heard the words and knew that the old man had already agreed to enter Beijing to join the Royal Academy, so he laughed and said: "Since the old man has already agreed, then I will be a colleague of Xu Fen from now on, and these things don't matter."

The old man laughed too, and said curiously: "This old man is just curious, and I hope Mr. Xu can help me explain my doubts."

Xu Xianchun said with a straight face: "When Xu came, His Majesty only asked Xu to be kind and invite all sages to Beijing, but what if the sages don't go, His Majesty didn't say anything.

To be honest with the old gentleman, based on Xu's understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty will most likely send other people to persuade the old gentleman.
