Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

If I can't beat others, I'll be tough...

If I can’t beat you to death, I’ll spray you to death!

What a great trick for Confucianism!

Zhu Youjian's lips sneered:

I'm afraid - after this incident, within a hundred years, I will become a rare tyrant throughout the ages!

……

Zhu Youjian got off his horse and, guarded by a group of soldiers, walked towards the courtyard that was temporarily occupied as a camp.

The land at your feet is where the great Confucian Mencius built a thatched cottage in order to give lectures here.

Since then, the place has been named Menglou.

Mencius lectures in Caolou...

……

However, Mencius once again followed the path of a saint. How could he not have heard the story of Lord Ye that is so close at hand?

This is obviously Ye Gong who was wronged. He, Mencius, a great scholar, has never washed away his grievances...

Ha ha!

What does it mean to say that people's hearts are old, and what does the world look like...

What kind of education, what age...

The historians in the early years were not like this!

Duke Zhuang of Qi had affairs with Cui Zhu's wife several times, and also gave Cui Zhu's hat to others. Cui Zhu was furious, and when Duke Zhuang of Qi had another affair, he closed the door and killed Duke Zhuang of Qi.

(The origin of the word "hat.")

Taishi Bozhan bluntly said: Cui Zhu killed his king.

Cui Zhu was furious and killed Tai Shibo. Tai Shibo's two younger brothers continued to record this, and Cui Zhu killed him again. Tai Shibo's only younger brother recorded the incident on bamboo slips again...

The three brothers went to the disaster together without adding or deleting a single word!

Countries were shocked to hear that Taishi's family was in trouble, and they were furious. All historians wrote straightly.

The Southern historians even went away with a sword in hand, determined to record Cui Zhu's regicide in the annals of history!

Look at this guy, he's got the ax and the ax on his body without changing even a single word!

And the Kong family...

hei tui!

……

Zhu Youjian sneered again and again, and became more determined to promote hundreds of schools and eliminate the influence of Confucianism!

He said to Fang Zhenghua beside him:

"Let Wu Gan come and see me!"

Shaoqing, Wu Ganlai came to Zhu Youjian's side with a pair of red eyes.

After Wu Gan came to salute, Zhu Youjian said:

"Wu Qing has always learned a lot and has a strong memory. Do you know where this place is?"

Wu Ganlai has not rested for a whole day and night!

After what happened to King Tang, he was transferred here to handle the news gathered from everywhere.

Hearing this, Wu Ganlai rubbed his groggy head and looked at the emperor in surprise:

"Your Majesty, isn't this the Guanghua territory of Xiangyang Prefecture in Huguang?"

"I didn't mean now."

Zhu Youjian chuckled: "I'm talking about the pre-Qin period, to be precise, the early Spring and Autumn Period. Which country is this place in?"

Wu Ganlai pinched his temples hard to wake up his groggy head:

Your Majesty was asking about the pre-Qin Dynasty!

Only then did Wu Ganlai understand what the emperor was asking and replied:

"It should be Chu State."

Wu Ganlai opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, when the Chu State came out of Jingba Mountain and was granted the title of Fifty Miles Country, it was around here.

As for where exactly?

Now it is no longer possible to examine it in detail. The only thing I can be sure of is——

When the Chu State was granted a title, it was necessary to pray to the ancestors and tell the people of Chu that after hard work, they finally became the title king.

However, the Chu State, which had just been granted the title of the smallest sub-state from the mountain tribe, was so impoverished that it could not even raise three animals.

So he stole a calf in the country of Bo and worshiped his ancestors all night long.

In history, it is known as "cattle stealing by the people of Bo" or "cattle stealing by the people of Chu".

Along the way, the minister carefully inquired about the funeral customs of the people. In various places, temples were visited during the day.

Only those around Deng and Xiang would go to the clan temple after dark and close to Zi time to report the death of their ancestors. "

(The funeral custom of Gao Miao at night was only practiced in a narrow circle centered on Dengzhou, Laohekou, and Xichuan [around the early Chu State]. Twenty years ago, it was mostly after ten o'clock, close to Zishi. Now Gao Miao The time has changed to just dark.

Bao Miao: also called Bao Miao. After the turmoil 50 years ago, family temples [ancestral halls] in various places no longer exist. There are some locals in the book club. Just ask the elders over 60 years old to find out. )

……

"Therefore, I believe that the earliest fiefdom of the Chu Kingdom was between Guanghua and Dengzhou.

As for the specific location, if you can go to steal cattle overnight, it is naturally not far from the hometown of Boguo.

As for the country of Bo, the country of Bo moved three times, one of which was to the east of Yuan Chong in the northwest of here, at the ancient city where it intersected with Henan.

According to the records of cattle rustling in the Chu State of Chu, the Chu State should have been within a hundred miles of this place.

That is around where we are now. "

Wu Gan came to Bo Wen Qiang to remember the past events of more than two thousand years ago, and he recounted them one by one in a clear and coherent manner.

Zhu Youjian laughed.

Why did he come to discuss with Wu Gan about Chu State's first land enfeoffment!

Is it politics? Just find a reason.

"Yes!"

Zhu Youjian shook his head and sighed:

"Ugh!"

"Think back to that year, when the Chu State was first granted a title, it was only fifty miles away. It was really a weak country with few people, and they couldn't even raise the three animals to sacrifice their ancestors!"

"If you think about it carefully, how am I different from that Chuzi?"

Wu Ganlai was shocked and hurriedly bent down to apologize:

"It's all the ministers who are unworthy of Your Majesty and have put Your Majesty in this difficult situation."

"That's all, I only have a small army today. The world is so big that we can't compete with each other!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand to stop the topic and continued:

"I think of the difficulties when the Chu State was first granted the title, and I feel very emotional. I also think of Taishi Bo and Taishi Shu, and I would rather add an ax to my body than change a single word in the history books..."

Wu Ganlai said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, then...it is indeed your own fault to blame Duke Qi Zhuang..."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly shut up and looked at the emperor anxiously, not knowing what to do.

In front of the king, it is not his minister's responsibility to draw conclusions about the wrongdoing of other kings.

He should analyze this matter and let the emperor get the answer himself. This is what a minister should do!

Zhu Youjian was noncommittal and changed the topic again:

"Is the historian one of the hundreds of schools of thought?"

Wu Gan came to see the emperor and was convinced that he would not hold him accountable for his inappropriate words. Now the emperor asked again, and he explained:

"Your Majesty, the various schools of thought are just a general statement. As for our Chinese sages, most of the numbers involved are imaginary numbers.

For example, three means three, and generally refers to a small amount.

Six is ​​not only six, it can also be the middle number.

Jiu means nine, and can be regarded as ninety percent.

In addition, numbers such as hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands often have multiple meanings.

The term "hundred schools of thought" only means that literature was flourishing and hundreds of schools of thought contended at that time, not that there were only one hundred schools of thought.

I have read through some ancient records and found that there were probably more than a thousand schools of thought in the pre-Qin period.

Some people say that this historian is not one of the hundred, but I think it should be!

At this time, His Majesty mentioned it, but I was thinking about what a cultural blessing it was when a hundred schools of thought contended! "

(PS: This chapter is a bit convoluted. Once you understand it, you will understand the basics of politics.

Seeing mountains as mountains is a matter for three-year-olds. Seeing mountains as non-mountains is a matter for adults. When mountains can be seen as all things, then you can have some political fun.

Don't think that the plot is superficial. Every word I say has a meaning. It is either a short-term basis for the next step, or a long-term one, or a foreshadowing for changing something.

After all, this book is not a good book, and because of the readership, most readers will not understand many things if they are taken out directly.

It can be said that I basically did a review based on the background at that time, completely bringing myself into the environment at that time, and thinking about what to do in the face of such a situation, how to get out of trouble, and how to change. As Western learning spreads to the East, how can we maintain the glory of 2000 years and continue to be glorious?

This is the most attractive part of historical literature.

History, initially it was just to make up for regrets.

As for a simple killing, China can be saved - Li Zicheng was defeated in this way, and I have the information at hand to prove my statement.

This volume has already reached farming, and the next volume is about to start, starting with Li Zicheng to explain that simple killing is just a child's idea.

If you really review it, you will find that this road is blocked!

Let me tell you a little bit about this, I have written a purely entertaining article and I will meet you soon. )
