My Daming New Empire

Of course, he only held it in his James Mansion, which is also the place where he is most respected by civil servants.

But now that Zhu Zhanji is in charge of the country, it is of course impossible to hold a sutra banquet every day and listen to a group of civil servants holding outdated things to restrict people's thinking.

If it weren't for the fact that canceling the Sutra Banquet would do more harm than good, he would have wished to cancel the Sutra Banquet.

Where is the desirable place?Of course it still makes sense!

The best part of Confucianism lies in learning, adapting, and absorbing.

They can thoroughly study the things of other schools of thought, then crush them and integrate them into Confucianism.

From the beginning of the prosperity of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, whether it is miscellaneous, Taoism, or Legalism, all things have been absorbed by Confucianism.

They have been restricting people's thinking, but they have been changing.

Today's Confucianism is actually no longer Confucianism, but a Confucianism that combines the three religions.They also integrated Buddhism and Taoism into it.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism flourished naturally, because they now have a stronger foundation and have formed a more stable foundation.

When Yao Guangxiao was alive, he had been fighting against Confucianism. The main reason was that Confucianism turned everything in the Buddhist scriptures into Confucianism, and then used its spear to attack its shield to deal with Buddhism.

Although Yao Guangxiao had a high position and authority, he still failed because the Confucianism was in the interests of the imperial court.

Confucianism is absolutely qualified as the basis of education, but this is a method to make people mature, not a political technique.

This is like a person who has to learn all kinds of basic knowledge when he is in school, but after he works, he will find that most things are not used at all.

If you use the knowledge in books to apply it to work or social interaction, you will find that your head will be broken.

But can you say that what is taught in the book is wrong?

No!

The knowledge in textbooks is to teach people to learn thinking and cognition, increase experience and broaden horizons, strengthen people's foundation in an all-round way, and enhance people's potential.

However, in society and at work, what needs to be adapted is the reality, various intricate relationships, and the ability to find an accurate social position for oneself.

None of these books will teach you, because everyone is an individual and a different person.

But in this era, Confucianism wants to make everyone the same, and cut down whoever refuses to accept it.

And they are not allowed to break away from the knowledge and restrictions in books at work, which seems too rigid and undesirable.

Restricting ordinary people within the framework can effectively alleviate the resistance of ordinary people, but if the emperor is also restricted...

This is also the root of the 200-year dispute between imperial power and civil servants in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi didn't know that Ming Dynasty would perish so badly in the end, and he couldn't realize the harm, so he had to stay away from politics.

Zhu Zhanji restricted his freedom not because he was afraid that he would cause trouble for himself, but because he was afraid that he would continue on the wrong path and never turn back.

In fact, he didn't pay much attention to Zhu Gaochi at all. The emperor needed a purse in one hand and a knife in the other. He didn't have either, so why should he be a threat?

The midday morning usually ends after breakfast and ends at noon, and occasionally it will be delayed until the afternoon. At this time, the emperor usually invites the academicians and cabinet members to have dinner together.

In the afternoon, unless there are large-scale natural or man-made disasters or important cases, basically they will not deal with government affairs.

Like Zhu Di, he likes archery in the afternoon, practicing martial arts, entertaining with his concubines, and often goes out of the palace to be a guest at Xungui's house, bragging with his old buddies.

In the evening, he likes to start watching the theater after dinner, and if he doesn't watch a play every day, he will feel exhausted.

Zhu Zhanji has no interest in watching theaters, but he also wants to spend his own private time with his wife and children.

He also needs to have his own social time and establish closer ties with some officials outside of work.

Therefore, he will not spend all his afternoons dealing with official business.

Like Chongzhen, he has to take care of everything and worry about everything, and can't tell the priority.Treat everyone as an NPC, and the end result will be desertion.

Every official is not a robot and has his own thoughts and emotions. If you want them to play a more active role, orders alone are not enough.

Everyone thought that Zhu Zhanji was young and vigorous, and would immediately burn several fires after taking over the power.

But Zhu Zhanji disappointed all of them. Apart from dealing with government affairs every day, he was even more low-key when he was there than when Zhu Di was there.

Of course, this was because Zhu Di hadn't set off yet, and also because Zhu Di wiped his ass in the past, but now everything depends on him.

Of course, he wants to reform in his heart and sweep all unreasonable things into the dustbin of history, but he needs to eat every bite.

He knows very well, every day, everything he deals with, everyone he meets, every word he says, every promise he makes.It will be recorded by the Jinyiwei and the Department of Counseling, and after sorting out, it will be sent to Suzhou the next day.

This kind of monitoring is not control, but Zhu Di's concern for Zhu Zhanji. He needs to know Zhu Zhanji's mistakes, or whether he has been deceived in some aspects, and he can remind him before he leaves.

But at present, Zhu Zhanji's performance is still very satisfactory to Zhu Di, and the performance of more than a dozen Gu Ming ministers is also very satisfactory to him.

On March 24, the Naval Logistics Department loaded all the materials onto the ship. There were not only the materials for Zhu Di's westward expedition, but also at least ten ships full of materials to be transported to Suez.

Huang Yuan, who had been busy for two full months, could finally breathe a sigh of relief this time, when he boarded the boat, he would not be as busy as he is now.

After Zhu Di knew the progress of the preparations, he asked Qin Tianjian to choose the departure date, March 26.

On March 25, Zhu Di arrived at Liujiagang. That night, he slaughtered pigs and sheep by the river to sacrifice to the God of the Sea. Early the next morning, the army left Liujiagang amidst the sound of drums and music.

Huang Yuan boarded the flagship with great excitement, not because he could live on the same ship as the emperor, but because Yun Niang was pregnant with his child again.

The reason why Zhu Di looked at the young Huang Yuan differently was because during Zhu Zhanji's three years at sea, the only subordinate on board was Huang Yuan.

Only he, the commander-in-chief of the rear army who controls all the situation of the fleet, lives on the ship, so he can grasp all the information at the first time.

But in the hearts of other generals, those who are jealous are going crazy.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji also knew Zhu Di's every move like the back of his hand. Knowing that Zhu Di left Liujiagang by boat, Zhu Zhanji specially drank a pot of Wuliangye to celebrate that night.

In this era, some famous wines of later generations are almost available, and the alcohol content is not much different from that of later generations.Moreover, there is no need to worry about fake wine blended with industrial ethanol.

In terms of material enjoyment, as long as it costs more, there is not much difference from later generations.

But in terms of technology, the gap of hundreds of years is not so easy to smooth out.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, in the first three aspects, can achieve the same effect as the later generations.Only the itinerary of going out cannot be compared with later generations.

In addition, in terms of spiritual enjoyment, it is completely incomparable.Due to the limitations of the times, even an emperor cannot enjoy the bombardment of information and entertainment of later generations.

It took Zhu Zhanji more than ten years to adapt to this era and learn to pass the time in the current way in his spare time.

"Father, stop drinking. You said you would teach me how to sing."

Hu Shanxiang gently took Zhu Xue's little hand, and persuaded: "Your father is happy today, let him drink two more glasses. You are the princess of a country, how can you learn to sing like an actor."
