Chapter 94 Burial
In the morning, all the ministers indeed wrote to Jiajing.
After all, he has been a reliable emperor so far. He only reformed the hereditary title system for relatives so that it cannot be inherited by descendants. He supported Zhang Cong’s idea of reforming the imperial examination. He recently agreed to the suggestion of Gui Cao Shang Shu to inventory new fields and compile corvee services. It’s just that I’m still hesitating about measuring the land across the country.
The emperor indeed began to practice Taoism in the palace two years after he ascended the throne. No one thought that he would regard this as his main occupation and practice it for twenty years.
They still wanted to be in harmony with the Jiajing emperor and his ministers, forge ahead and achieve great things, so even their advice was careful with their words, for fear of calling the emperor a treason.
When the sky was over, Jiajing had a wave of admonitions and memorials from ministers in hand. After handling official business in the afternoon, he had to review and do experiments in the evening.
Although the anchor said this is science, he firmly believes that science is also a kind of Taoism. If you learn this well, you can master the changing laws of everything, and sooner or later you can achieve everything you want by relying on this.
At night, everyone was waiting for the anchor to see if their vote won. The result was that the anchor was writing an English composition while playing cartoons.
Well, except for a few people in a few dynasties, most people can't understand this English at all, and they either join the army of drama fans or start doing other things.
Jiajing himself voted for the news. He wanted to see more about future generations, but it was a pity that Nezha came out.
Seeing such a little doll using its arms and legs to shoot arrows, he could imagine the New Year painting doll for this year's New Year, and it would probably be like this.
?The third prince Xuanyuan shot King Zhou with an arrow? Recently, there is no shortage of work for storytellers and professional book writers.
In the Daming Palace, Li Chengqian and Li Taiwo excitedly high-fived each other and began to enjoy the results of their big victory in voting.
The Zhenguan ministers in the front hall rarely worked the night shift to discuss government affairs. The people inside were all the core team of Li Shimin's former Tiance Mansion.
They have been very busy all day today. They have already issued an order to convene talents to study hybrid breeding of wheat and rice. Medical officers and medical schools have also begun to convene. The Imperial College has now begun to convene teachers to start adding subjects for later generations. , excellent farmers, doctors, mathematicians and even imperial eunuchs all need to be allowed in to teach subjects.
Not long after the daytime anchor went off the air, Sun Simiao came to Chang'an.
This is now a very famous medicine king, and he is even stamped by future generations. Li Shimin is naturally overjoyed. Doctor Sun is already the confirmed dean of the medical school, and he can also teach chemistry.
Li Chunfeng, who had always been low-key, said that he could teach astronomy and geography. The elderly Wang Xiaotong, who was about to retire as an official, rarely came to see Changsun Wuji, saying that he could teach mathematics, and that he was also willing to study chemistry and physics.
Considering the physical fitness of Wang Xiaotong and Sun Simiao, Li Shimin decided to leave chemistry to Sun Simiao and let Wang Xiaotong study together after finishing teaching mathematics.
After finishing the general work, it was late at night and looking at the English in the host's hand that they didn't understand at all, everyone struggled to move their eyes away from the cute little Nezha and the immortal Taiyi Zhenren.
Cheng Zhijie smiled and said: "You are really lucky. The descendants have given you, the God of War, such a great son."
People around me smiled knowingly, and the tense working atmosphere was relieved a lot.
Li Jing looked at a bunch of happy colleagues and bosses around him. He himself was not happy at all, especially when he thought of the two eldest sons at home who wanted to change the names of their third sons, he felt even more depressed.
Everyone had laughed enough, and some people began to discuss political systems that they could learn from in future generations.
"Open government affairs also have the benefit of being open. The government's decrees are beneficial to life, and they should be known to all the people." For example, if we really reduce taxes, how much is the annual tax? The abnormality is really the result of the corrupt officials below. …
He said it implicitly, but everyone else understood.
"It's just that in the Tang Dynasty, everyone was not as educated and literate as the people in later generations. Even if some of the latest government decrees were posted every month, not everyone might know about it."
This is a very practical matter. Even if they have a clear conscience, they still want the people to know what the court has done and enhance their recognition of the court. However, if they continue to implement it, they will definitely not meet expectations.
There must be only a small number of people who can read and understand the text.
As for the promotion of education, the current Tang Dynasty can only open the door to poor students in official educational institutions such as the Imperial College, encourage them to learn these new subjects, and use educational resources that are not available in the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes to develop new skills. path of.
As for the rest, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it.
Officials are officials, officials are officials. Things that existed in ancient times have changed in later generations, but they do not necessarily have to change with them. After all, there will be no emperors in later generations.
At most, they just pay lip service to let their officials learn from later generations to be approachable and love the people. Otherwise, this group of people who are not civilians at heart can do nothing else.
Noticing a guy who started fishing carelessly, Li Jing coughed and pointed out: "Old Cheng, my head feels sour."
Cheng Zhijie, whose thoughts were distracted by the Xuanyuan Arrow, was not embarrassed and smiled shamelessly at his colleagues.
This can't be blamed on him. The whole Tang Dynasty might be watching Lao Li's son together. They were the only ones here talking about government affairs at night. The cartoons on the sub-screen of the sky were so attractive that he was distracted watching two What happened to the eyes?
Besides, that was the Yellow Emperor's Xuanyuan arrow. According to later generations, it could navigate automatically. It was a pity that King Zhou was not actually shot to death twice.
In the capital of Wei State, Cao Rui, King of Pingyuan, looked at Nezha in the sky, and many different thoughts flashed crazily in his mind.
No matter how naughty the little baby in the sky is, his bearded father-in-law just locks him in a small dark room and asks the old housekeeper to give him hot meat buns.
No matter how different he was from others, his mother loved him so much. The kind-hearted and gentle Mrs. Yin reminded Cao Rui of his mother, Queen Zhen, who died two years ago.
He looked at the little baby in the sky with envy and jealousy. He was born with magical powers, but he was loved by his parents, his two brothers also loved him, and he could also see Emperor Wa and Taiyi.
Spreading out a piece of plain white paper, he silently began to write a poem for the little baby.
After he had finished writing several poems, the anchor also finished two incomprehensible English compositions and began to draw numbers.
【1.Qin: Shao Qi
2.Chinese: Lu Yi
3. Han: Min Ji
4. Han: Bai Fang
5. Wei: Dou Hu
6. Tang Dynasty: Lu Zizhang
7. Song Dynasty: Sun Fu
8. Ming Dynasty: Wu Xingshan
9. Ming: Ying Minxue
10. Qing: Luo Dan]
Among the ten lucky viewers, the first three all exchanged mathematics or physics knowledge with the anchor, two used the canopy to communicate with their families, and the other two were also looking for relatives.
Soon, the eighth lucky viewer Wu Yanshan came to complain to the anchor.
"Anchor, why should the emperor die and all of us servants also die?"
When the emperor dies, people also die. Does this mean burial?
Emperors and officials from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty frowned. Burial sacrifices have been around since ancient times, but they have been abolished for many years. Why did they come up again in the Ming Dynasty?
Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had only ascended the throne for a short time, was still a little confused when looking at the question of this lucky audience. Sacrificial burials were very popular among the people during the Yuan Dynasty. What happened to the emperor?
Zhu Di was wondering if he was scolding his father, or maybe he was scolding himself or future generations.
As for the Yingzong abolition of the sacrificial burial system, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houcong did not have any pressure. This is talking about their ancestors.
He was from the Yongle Dynasty, but unfortunately his family member was one of the concubines of Emperor Hongwu who were ordered to die.
By this time, ordinary people no longer had the ability or custom to carry out a grand burial, and they just wanted to put all their bodies and tails underground. He didn't understand why the living should die for the dead.
[Is this a sacrificial burial?
This thought flashed through my little mind, and then I put down my pen and said solemnly: "Although burials are something that has happened in ancient times, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, although the system of burials has been abolished, there are still many individual burials. Behavior.
The burial system is extremely anti-human, barbaric, backward, and a completely bad habit."]
The concubines of the Yongle Dynasty raised their heads and looked at the sky with expectant eyes. No one wants to be forced to die while still alive. Although the emperor is now in his prime, what about the future?
Not only were people buried for the emperor, there was also a practice of people being buried. Those whose relatives died in the burial also raised their eyes. I hope the anchor can say more to stop such ridiculous things from continuing.
[“People cannot be resurrected after death, and living people also have things they should continue to do. It is extremely unreasonable for us to allow people who should continue to live to be forced to ruin their lives.
The emperor had his servants be buried, the landlords and bureaucrats had their servants be buried, and the husband's family had their new widows be buried. It was all oppression, the oppression of vulnerable individuals by the feudal ethical society. ”]
Emperors and wealthy families who don’t engage in sacrificial burial are a bit inhumane, and we ordinary people don’t do it very much. Now that we know that later generations will say it is barbaric and backward, we really want to give up for the sake of a good reputation.
But the anchor, you really look very angry, and every word you say becomes more serious.
No matter which stronghold the elders of the Mo clan nodded, they also taught their own students. The anchor was right, the dead were the most important, but the living were the most important. We should not make life difficult for the living just for the sake of the dead.
Don't imitate Confucianism and engage in lavish burials. Once you have a reputation, your family's wealth will be emptied, and the dead will be angry when they see it.
[ "I have said many times before that the nature of society is different in different periods. The Shang and Zhou dynasties were a slave-owning aristocratic political society, and the burial system was very barbaric. Many of the people who were buried were slaves and were not human in the eyes of the nobles.
After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, although there was no feudal system, and we still call it a feudal society, the essence should be a centralized autocratic system, which was in this category from the Qin to the Qing Dynasty. "
Xiaoxiao picked up the pen and drew a rough progression of dynasties, and then the pen stopped at Yuan and Ming.
"The Yuan Dynasty was a unified regime for ethnic minorities. I don't know much about it, but I know..."
She changed her pen to a red pen and clarified the key points. 】
The emperors who wanted to be benevolent emperors but were not benevolent emperors all fell silent: Tomorrow, the official burial ceremony will not be resumed, right?
["Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is a legend in terms of achievements. Many of the things he did have received mixed praise. However, the restoration of sacrifice and burial is undoubtedly a policy that regresses civilization back to barbarism and reverses the course of history."
I quickly searched on the computer for the words "Zhu Yuanzhang, burial", and all that came up was "Why did Zhu Yuanzhang resume burial?" ” “Looking at the History of Ancient Burials from Zhu Yuanzhang” “The Cruel and Terrifying Burial System” and so on.
Xiaoxiao showed everyone the number of people who found Zhu Yuanzhang's burial. There were 46 concubines and maids, 38 of whom were ordered to die during the funeral.
“I hope you won’t think that there are only dozens of people, just a few women, and they will die if they die.
If you think this way, then I hope that you, who are the most particular about filial piety and etiquette, will follow the underground to fulfill your filial piety with peace of mind when your parents go underground.
I believe that if you are so filial to your elders, your elders will not be lonely when they meet you underground, and your family will be very happy.
If you can't be so filial to your own parents, why do you force others to do so? ”]
In the Western Han Dynasty, where filial piety was the most important factor in governing the country, Liu Che really gushed out.
Wiping his mouth with the handkerchief handed over by the palace attendant, Liu Che said with a subtle expression, "Zhong Qing, the anchor is really good at talking."
Wei Qing nodded, agreeing very much.
The anchor's eyes were clear, and he knew that even if they were descendants of the same generation, their social customs were completely different. Other words are of no use to the privileged class, but filial piety is a social rule that everyone from the emperor to the common people must abide by.
Basically, if a person is not filial, his reputation will be ruined; if an official is not filial, he will basically have no official career.
Even though everyone has been scolding Qin Shihuang for thousands of years as a tyrant, he didn't do anything to Zhao Ji. He killed my mother's lover and illegitimate son, and Zhao Ji just sent her away.
No one could even scold Qin Shihuang for being unfilial.
But this is a bit extreme, but if you think about it according to the anchor's words, if you want to be a filial son, why don't you go underground to accompany your parents?
But there is no such truth. Since everyone thinks it shouldn't be done, the living and the dead are already separated by yin and yang, and it makes no sense to go from a rich burial to a sacrificial burial.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was furious after hearing this, clenched his fists and couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and walked around the room holding back his anger.
He didn't do this now, and the anchor didn't have the right to scold him, but to put it in a sentence - even the descendants who value merit more think that he is cruel and cruel, and make policies indiscriminately, will the Ming Dynasty and others think that he is cruel in the future? Is he a proper tyrant?
For the first time, Queen Ma did not stop him to comfort him. Instead, she waited for him to regain his senses and said solemnly: "Chongba, please make a decree. From now on, starting from you, there will never be any act of sacrificial burial in the Ming Dynasty. Behaviors must also be strictly prohibited.”
She believed that the anchor was right. Being buried in a man-made burial was more terrifying than dying in war, and so many of the people who were buried there were even killed during the period of mourning.
Being accused of cruelty by later generations is really not unjust.
Everything has not started yet, and they still have the opportunity to improve and do things that they have not done well.
Zhu Di rubbed his head, and his mind that was originally overwhelmed by Emperor Yongle came to his senses. Thinking about what he did, he had a hunch that future generations would scold him a lot.
