The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

A line of characters was engraved on the dragon case in front of Jiajing as a motto.

"The first is kindness, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world."

Of course Yan Song knew this sentence.

At the beginning of Jiajing's accession to the throne, this sentence was engraved on the dragon case.

This is what Lao Tzu said: "I have three treasures, which I keep and protect: the first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world."

Jiajing believed in Taoism and was a loyal fan disciple of Lao Tzu. He always used this sentence as his policy platform.

"Yan Aiqing" Jiajing stood up, looked up at the starry sky outside, stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed

: "Why don't I know that although the Ming Dynasty is called the prosperous age, there are actually many hidden dangers, and it is difficult to live up to the prestigious name. It should also be drastic and carry out reforms? But!"

Jiajing turned around and said helplessly: "The fall of the Great Song Dynasty stemmed from Wang Anshi's reform. The fall of the Great Yuan stemmed from the Tuotuo reform. Although our country is difficult in the Ming Dynasty, we can maintain it after all. According to your [The Wealth of Nations], we The Ming Dynasty will transform from agriculture to the three industries of agriculture, industry and commerce, and the ruling ideology will change from Cheng Zhu Confucianism to materialism. What will those scholars, bureaucrats, and landlords think? Does my Ming Dynasty still have a basis for ruling? The so-called change of course is no disease And die! Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, I must not be careless."

In one word, Jiajing's concerns have been made clear.

After all, Jiajing was still a feudal emperor!

All he considered was to maintain his own rule, as well as the future generations of Ming Dynasty.

If it is beneficial to this, he will support it, and if it is unfavorable to this, he will not even say it.

. . .

Chapter 1066 Establishing the Daming Special Economic Zone [3]

Although the friendship between Yan Song and Jiajing is strong enough, although the timing of the choice is good enough, and although "The Wealth of Nations" is attractive enough, Jiajing still shakes his head and chooses not!

He has seen that if Daming is transformed according to the theory of the Wealth of Nations, Daming will fundamentally change!The basis for maintaining the rule of the old Zhu family will be fundamentally shaken.

This is something that Jiajing cannot allow.

If it wasn't the person who presented the book, but Yan Song, Jiajing might have changed his face on the spot and dragged it out and chopped it up.

The candle, burning quietly in the lamp box, made a popping sound from time to time.

Jiajing looked at Yan Song quietly.

Yan Song was calm.

So much foreshadowing has been done, leave it to fate.

How difficult was it to carry out reforms, or this kind of fundamental reforms in the Ming Dynasty?

Yan Song didn't think about it, if he could be the emperor, would he be able to push forward with less resistance?

The conclusion is that there won't be any difference.

Because "The Wealth of Nations" is fundamentally the opposite of Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism and the way of Confucius and Mencius!

The conflict between the two parties is like ice and coal, water and fire are incompatible, unless one party perishes, the other party will be difficult to reconcile.

But Yan Song will not give up.

His goal in coming to Ming Dynasty was to promote reforms and bring Ming Dynasty into the golden age of global colonization.

If you change to a second-hand guy, you will either rebel or slap the emperor on the table.

But Yan Song won't.

He just smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, I think [The Wealth of Nations] [Theory of Sea Power] are not incompatible with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!"

Boom!

Thunder rolls!

(Old Master Cheng Zhu's coffin is about to be overwhelmed...)

Even Yan Song himself sweated.

Talking nonsense with your eyes open, really hahaha.

However, at this time, he must fool Jiajing, and he must succeed in fooling him!

For the old stubborn Jiajing, persuasion, definitely can't be persuaded, the only way is to fool!

Flickeringly, the sun does not set, but a flickeringly red sun rises in the East China Sea!

As long as the emperor is successfully fooled and can go to the next step, triggering a big discussion, Yan Song may not have a chance of winning.

From ideology, system, and behavior, the people of Ming Dynasty gradually accepted [The Wealth of Nations], and the wisdom of the people was enlightened. In the future, the emperor wanted to go back to the land era of "even eating loess and facing the sky", who would accompany him to eat? earth?

Yan Song said with a righteous face: "Your Majesty, Cheng-Zhu Confucianism is my way of Ming Dynasty, [The Wealth of Nations] is just a technique! The so-called Confucianism is the body, the economy is the use, and they are inseparable from each other... (abbreviated below) [-] words)”

This round of Yan Song's flickering can be described as dark and dark, flying sand and walking stones, non-stop bursting like a machine gun, making Jiajing dizzy, and even Huang Jin, who was beside him, admired him, looked at Yan Song, and gave a thumbs up.

An hour later, finally, Jiajing was sprayed and surrendered.

Your Excellency is invincible in fooling you, so I lost!

"Um, since Yan Aiqing is so confident in this book, it can be released to the public." Jiajing's eyes were a little blurred, and he said half-believingly: "But it's best not to cause any trouble."

Yan Song saw that although the emperor's attitude was loose, but his support was not strong, he said in his heart that he couldn't bear the child not being able to catch the wolf, and he couldn't bear that the gold and silver couldn't catch Zhu Houcong, so he fought!

He smiled slightly and said: "How about, can the emperor follow the example of Shibosi and give the minister a chance to experiment with [The Wealth of Nations]?"
