My Daming New Empire

Mrs. Zhang left, and the father and son sat face to face.Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, and He Chun quickly withdrew.

Li Liang is a man who understands current affairs, so he left with He Chun without Zhu Zhanji's call.

Because Zhu Di made Zhu Zhanji supervise the country through Zhu Gaochi, there was some embarrassment between the father and son.

In front of the throne of power, no one will remain indifferent.

If Zhu Zhanji didn't have the memory of later generations, he wouldn't be so eager to take power, he was very afraid that Zhu Gaochi would bring Daming back to the old way.

Although he knows that today's Daming is not the same as it was in history. In Mobei, Nanyang, and Western Ocean, Daming has shown a different situation.

People's ideology is also changing, and countless people want to go to Nanzhou to develop gold mines.

Zhu Zhanji has aroused everyone's greed. If it weren't for Zhu Di's westward expedition, the current upper class figures in Ming Dynasty would have already rushed to Nanzhou.

However, Zhu Zhanji is a person with a strong desire for power. He is more willing to control everything in his own hands and let him take the lead.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the calm Zhu Zhanji, couldn't help but sighed again, and said: "Now that your emperor is gone, have you ever thought about how to win everything into your own hands?"

Zhu Zhanji said with confidence: "Father, everything is under the control of the child now. Even if the child interferes the least in the government affairs, it is not a worry now that the officials of various ministries are carefully assisting. The child does not need to work hard, everything is in your hands. Dendrobium."

"Governors, governors, prefects, do you understand?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "As a supervisor, the child is in charge of the whole world. It is enough to judge the situation and follow the trend. If you have to worry about everything, is the child the supervisor or the magistrate?"

Zhu Gaochi had been thinking about how to win over all officials if he supervised the country himself a few years ago.He has no confidence in himself, so he takes many problems seriously.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's big-hearted words, he didn't think Zhu Zhanji was confident, but that he didn't think well.

He said gently: "Father has also compiled a political booklet based on Ming's situation over the years. Now that father doesn't need it, I just give it to you."

Zhu Zhanji looked at the thick booklet next to his hand, disapproving in his heart, but still took it respectfully.

"Father is worried."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and smiled wryly, and said: "It's a pity that these are no longer needed.... Your ancestor was the king of the horse god, who dismissed the Confucianism, and you follow him, always believing that force can solve problems. As a father Worry!"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and smiled: "Father, my son never believes that force can solve the problem of governing the country, but even less does he believe that Confucianism can solve the problem of governing the country. My son just wants to ask, what is Confucianism?"

Zhu Gaochi froze for a moment, feeling that this question was easy to answer, but it was also difficult to explain the essence of Confucianism clearly in a few words.

He also knew that Zhu Zhanji didn't ask him for advice, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhu Zhan basically didn't need his answer, and continued: "In my eyes, Confucianism is ideology, personal cultivation, and the foundation of a person's life. The fundamental meaning of Confucianism is education, the so-called inside.

But to govern a country, Confucianism alone is not enough, because Confucianism is not a theory of governing a country at all.There are hundreds of people, all kinds of strange things, trying to make everyone look the same, this is what Confucianism has been working hard for.

This is also in the interests of the emperor, so since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been highly valued.

However, it has been proved that Confucianism is desirable as a way of enlightening people's wisdom.But governing the country needs to be inclusive of all rivers, what is needed is balance, and what is needed is competition.In these aspects, Confucianism is not enough.

Children will reuse Confucianism, but they will never let Confucianism become the speech and thought that control everything. "

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said, "This only shows that you don't know enough about Confucianism..."

"Then how does the father explain the change of dynasties for hundreds of years, and the rise and fall of the world? How does the father explain that except for Ming Dynasty and the surrounding countries, other countries in the world are still living well without Confucianism? Confucianism is useful, and the child will not deny it, but it Impossible!"

Zhu Gaochi didn't mean to argue with Zhu Zhanji. He also knew that in the eyes of his grandfather and grandson, he was the stupid one.

He pondered for a while before asking again: "Then how are you going to deal with the Kong family?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "My father has no information in the other courtyard, so I may not know it. Shandong has been in chaos recently, and the rioters have killed four county magistrates and more than a dozen officials. One-third of the Confucian mansion was burned."

Zhu Gaochi was shocked, couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked: "Can you catch those mobs?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Although those rioters killed their parents and officials, they stayed still and took the initiative to accept interrogation by the court. And the Confucian government is completely to blame, why arrest people? In the eyes of the father, those are mobs, But in the eyes of children, they are good citizens."

"Will good people commit crimes above? Will good people kill people? Will good people set fire to houses?"

"Those county magistrates and officials are eating the imperial salary and enjoying the privileges of the imperial court, but they don't think about the common people. They cheat and lie, and they deserve what they deserve. What's wrong with the common people? They just want to live, and my child would like to see them live like individuals , instead of lingering like a dog."

Zhu Gaochi was a little disturbed by the news. He stared at Zhu Zhanji and asked, "I don't want to tell you these great truths. I just want to ask you, what are you going to do with Confucius?"

"The Confucian family was only promoted by some civil officials in the Song Dynasty in order to put gold on their faces. Even at that time, they were only from the fifth rank. But because they took refuge in Meng Yuan, they were granted the third rank. Winning people's hearts is the only way to seal them as first rank. But this family is nothing more than grass, moths, and should not enjoy the shadow of their ancestors at all."

"They are queens of saints!"

"Meng Ying is still the 56th generation grandson of Mencius, and he is not serving under Hai'er. What's more, the saint is a saint, and the Kong family is the Kong family! My Zhu family's descendants still have people who have been reduced to common people, let alone one after dozens of generations. after the saint?"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help pointing at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Zhanji, you will make a big mess if you do this!"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Father, don't worry, the children are not in a hurry. The children will wait for their reputation to be corrupted by themselves before dealing with them. A Kong family is not worthy of the children's heart. In the children's heart, they It is not as important as a craftsman who can make steam engines."

Zhu Gaochi didn't know what to say anymore, and said angrily: "1 craftsmen are not as important as the reputation of the Kong family!"

"Is it the reputation of encroaching on fertile land? The reputation of digging up other people's ancestral graves? The reputation of destroying the public for personal gain?"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but patted the case, and said angrily: "Go back to the palace, I don't want to see you! Someone, take me back."

A group of servants were chatting and laughing outside, but when they heard the quarrel inside, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's call, He Chun and the two servants trotted into the hall.

Seeing them coming in, Zhu Gaochi stood up by himself. Zhu Zhanji wanted to help him, but he slapped him away.

The others smiled flatteringly at Zhu Zhanji and supported Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Let's let the Kong family go this time, after all, they were also involved because of me..."

Zhu Zhanji asked: "Father, they boycotted Nanyang food for their own benefit, and let Shandong refugees buy food from them at a high price. Was it also your instruction?"

Of course, this matter was not ordered by Zhu Gaochi, he was just being used.

But at this time, he still took it. "Zhanji, this is the first time I beg you!"

Zhu Zhanji was also speechless...

Two servants supported Zhu Gaochi, and He Chun followed behind with Zhu Gaochi's kettle and teacup.

Zhu Zhanji shouted: "He Chun, I still have a set of internal recuperation prescriptions for my father. I have also caught the medicine, and I will explain it to you."

He Chun looked at Zhu Gaochi, saw that he was noncommittal, and stood firm.

When they left, Zhu Zhanji asked, "Has someone from the Kong family come to disturb the father recently?"

He Chun lowered his head, glanced around, and said in a low voice, "That Kong Lenan came again the day before yesterday."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Go ahead and serve your father with all your heart. Let me know if there is any news in the future."
