Chapter 41 Queen Ma
As soon as the new tax collection regulations came out, there was a lot of discussion from below. Zhu Yuanzhang has always used strict methods, and he gave a time limit.Of course, if they cooperate, the government will also pay for the redemption fee, which will also be operated in the form of tax rebates.
Everyone didn’t want to challenge Zhu Yuanzhang’s deception at all, what’s more, Zhu Yuanzhang’s imperial decree was also written very high-sounding. Things like slavery are always against the teachings of the saints. The saints said that we should be old and old. , young and young, and young, Zigong still helped the country buy slaves back then, not to mention that now, house slaves are also human beings!In the palace, there are so many concubines, emperors and concubines, and how many servants are used by the princes and princesses. In particular, according to the new palace regulations formulated by Shu Yun, palace maids who have reached the age of 25 have to leave the palace to marry, and the palace will prepare a wedding ceremony. a dowry.As for the eunuchs, as I said before, the eunuchs used in the palace are either left by the Yuan court or captured in foreign wars. Therefore, the emperor’s family is not willing to order their own people at will. How dare a few filthy money order so many servants?
Such a propaganda is a typical political correctness. If the royal family is like this, how can the people below let the people who are also the Han family be slaves and handmaids for generations?
There are still a lot of slaves released by these powerful families. In order to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from making use of the topic, they even released a lot more, so as not to be arrested later. After these slaves were released, they were naturally registered directly with the government. Deliberately disgusting people, many of the slaves released were old and weak women and children, with few strong laborers, but since they did so, although Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, but he always held grudges, and these things happened to him With a small book, one can imagine what will happen afterwards.In any case, these old and weak can only be resettled on the spot, and forcing them to emigrate will kill them!But for the younger ones, if they are willing to emigrate, they can be exempted from the government's redemption fee, otherwise, they have to pay back the money within five years.
Therefore, those young slaves who were released are more willing to immigrate. On the one hand, immigration has various benefits. On the other hand, staying in the local area will always remind them of their past as slaves. After being a tenant for others, he has become a famous general after that, and he has to salute when he meets the original owner.Therefore, it may not be a good thing to stay in the local area and get together with people who know everything.
"These bastards are quite capable of taking advantage of loopholes!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the report handed over from below, almost gnashing his teeth.
Shu Yun poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with a smile: "It's not bad to be in such a situation now, not to mention, they have left so many servants, and these are also going to get married and have children..."
When Shu Yun said this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood, that's right, in a few years, maybe the number of their servants will exceed the quota again!At that time, let them know how powerful it is!
"It is true that tax collection cannot continue to be handed over to the household department!" Nowadays, there are more and more types of taxes, and the household department has more and more taxes. Among the six departments, the right to speak is also increasing. There is a tendency to become unbalanced.
Zhu Yuanzhang established the position of prime minister above the six ministries, and now the prime minister is Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang has the ability, but this is how he behaves.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally had a temperament that could not rub the sand in his eyes, and Li Shanchang repeatedly challenged his bottom line, which made Zhu Yuanzhang no longer want to tolerate Li Shanchang, so he needed to find a way to cut off the authority of the prime minister.
Now when Zhu Yuanzhang was talking here, he saw Zhu Biao blinking his glasses thoughtfully, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think of Biaoer?"
Zhu Biao said obediently: "My son just feels that there is only one prime minister now, so it is inevitable that Prime Minister Li is in power, and he will act headstrong. However, my son studied history books before. Although there was also a prime minister in Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time Among the three provinces and the Zhengshitang, there are quite a few people who exercise the position of prime minister, so they will naturally hinder each other and will not act in unison!"
Zhu Yuanzhang has never been an emperor before. The most important thing is that he started his career relatively quickly, and there are really not many civil servants under him with qualifications and abilities that can take on great positions. Therefore, the only one who can hold the position of prime minister for the time being is really only Li Shanchang. As for Hu Weiyong, he hasn't had time to come out yet!Therefore, it is only a matter of course that Li Shanchang can achieve his current status. Those who have more credit than him are military generals, and the credit among civil servants is far worse than him!
Zhu Yuanzhang also has a bit of a headache now. Huaixi Xungui is now powerful, even if he promotes newcomers, he has inextricably related to them. Zhu Yuanzhang can't trust those literati, so, just after the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang is actually facing the embarrassment of a talent gap .
Shu Yun has nothing to do about this, and she doesn't know who is good, so it's okay to come up with random ideas!But Zhu Yuanzhang quickly became ruthless. I can't get a bunch of prime ministers out, so can't I use other methods?
Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely a ruthless person, and soon, the court began to reorganize again.
If the quality is not enough, use the quantity to make up for it. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was more afraid of letting military generals interfere in the government, but now, he simply arranged similar positions for a group of founding heroes, and promoted their relatives. Of course, most of them are Ordinary office.
However, even if it is an ordinary official position, it depends on who is doing it!If those people who have no roots or bottomless, take these official positions, naturally they can only serve as answerers to their superiors, but now, who are those who do these things, and they can talk to those dukes, lords, uncles If there is any relationship with the master, it is either a close relative, or a relative of the son and daughter.
There are so many officials, not to mention that they are not all Huaixi nobles, even if they are, everyone can't say that they all stand in the same position.Not to mention people like Xu Da, like Tang He, who followed Zhu Yuanzhang from the beginning. When Zhu Yuanzhang was a ten-man commander, this man was already a thousand-man commander, but he still regarded himself as a younger brother and followed him. Zhu Yuanzhang messed up.As for this one, his buttocks have always been very stable. Whatever Zhu Yuanzhang wants to do, he will follow unswervingly. He has a good personal relationship with other people, and he doesn’t mind helping others if they ask for help. After coming down, he even turned his own son's face.
Everyone in the same faction has their own thoughts, not to mention that everyone has their own standpoints. Therefore, after there are more officials in the court, even if Li Shanchang wants to make the best use of the situation, it is impossible to manipulate the government!Not to mention his prime minister's power has been greatly reduced, and his personnel rights have almost been lost.In the officialdom, there are many official positions, that is, a carrot and a pit. In the past, the pit was empty, and Li Shanchang could naturally use it to make a wish and buy people's hearts.As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang drew his salary from the bottom of the pot, and directly filled the radish holes that he could call the shots, and the others were on the same level as him, or only slightly lower than his position, and there were people.Of course, those people may not necessarily stare at the position of the prime minister, but if they sit there, it will be a deterrent to Li Shanchang.
Seeing the current situation, Li Shanchang could only hibernate temporarily. If he still wanted to thump at this moment, it would really be a test of whether Zhu Yuanzhang cared about the friendship of the past!
Then, there is the imperial examination.Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not very interested in Confucianism, he has to say that the imperial examination is faster if he wants to single out a group of officials.
The real standardization of the imperial examination began in the Ming Dynasty. For example, in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination did not even have a fixed time. When the emperor remembered it, he would take a subject. wait.As for the Yuan Dynasty, not to mention, the imperial examinations have been intermittent, and most of the time there is no such thing at all.Yuan Ting had no interest in the Confucian scholars among the Han people, and even directly classified the Confucian scholars into the lower class, which is the origin of the so-called stinky old nine.Like Liu Ji, the rank of the imperial examination is not bad, the reputation is not bad, and he is quite practical. In the Song Dynasty, as long as he didn’t stand in the wrong team, he would be able to enter the center soon. As a result, in the Yuan Dynasty, after a few times, They are still low-level officials.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he still paid more attention to the imperial examinations. He quickly standardized the imperial examination system. From the children's examinations to the imperial examinations, he made clear regulations on the time and frequency of each examination, and then continued. The imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty was established to prevent imperial examination fraud.In addition, after the palace examination, a link was added, that is, practical training.
To put it bluntly, people who can read may not be able to do things. Regardless of the fact that the imperial examinations will test policy theories, each policy theory is written in a colorful way. In fact, what most people say is empty words. You have to be caught blind. Many Jinshi don't have a reliable staff, and they don't even know how to be an official.
Therefore, induction training and pre-internship cannot be saved, and then, according to the actual situation, job assignments will be made. Those with strong work ability can be assigned a relatively good job even if they are not good enough in the exam. Those who know how to study hard, and the kind of mud that can't stick to the wall, can only study slowly as a substitute!
When Zhu Yuanzhang formulated this system, Shu Yun came up with a lot of ideas, such as this kind of training and practice, it was Shu Yun who suggested it.In addition, Shu Yun just pointed out that officials and officials should not be clearly distinguished.At present, most of the small officials in the Ming Dynasty, from the head of the village, the head of the security to the yamen in the yamen, are mostly retired sergeants. Those who need a certain amount of cultural knowledge, these sergeants are naturally incompetent. Officials were originally hereditary. This is also the so-called iron-clad yamen and flowing county magistrates.In the past, small officials at all levels were generally inherited from generation to generation. Officials had to go through these small officials, even county lieutenants, if they wanted to do anything. If you have the heart, you can easily take over your immediate boss.Of course, under normal circumstances, everyone would not do this, it is a taboo thing.
And Shu Yun felt that it is true that junior officials at the grassroots level can still be selected from veterans, but in addition, they should also be given a channel for promotion.In other words, if these small officials have enough talents, they can also be promoted to officials. This is also a warning for those officials who came from the imperial examination. Don't think that only you can use the emperor, there are many people who can use it!
Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be superstitious that only the imperial examinations can produce talents. Talents are actually honed.Therefore, when he employs people, he only sees whether they can do it or not, and whether they are loyal enough. As for where they came from and how they got promoted, he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to implement these policies smoothly mainly because the world was initially determined. What's more, before that, there were no rules for many things. Those officials who wanted to object could not use the example of the previous dynasty as an example. How much is worth learning?
When Zhu Yuanzhang was mean, it was really enough to make people vomit blood. Some people said there that they shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang interjected that he treated the scholar-bureaucrats like that in the Song Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang was raised. As for Lu Xiufu, who is willing to take the young master to die for the country, it is already considered good. Most of them have received the favor of the Song court, and they will give it to Liao, Xixia, and Jin. Work for the Mongols?
Once Zhu Yuanzhang said this, what else did other people have to say? This is simply pointing at the noses of these civil servants. You are a bunch of fools, and you are not reliable at all. What face do you have to rule the world with you?
In addition, a group of military generals did not have much affection for civil servants. These generals were all from the grassroots, and they were also a class despised by these literati back then.What's more, for their sake, they also have their own views on many things in the past.If these civil servants were allowed to restore the system of the Song Dynasty, how would they have a good life as generals!It should be noted that in the Song Dynasty, such a famous general as Di Qing who had the merits of suppressing the rebellion and nearly destroying the country had to bow his head when facing civil servants!The question is, why!
These nobles followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world. It can be said that they will retire with the country in the future, but the virtue of civil servants is nothing more than changing masters. So, why do they want to stand on their own heads!
So in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even need to speak, and a group of sons and nobles just cursed and hurt the civil servants so much that they hid their faces and walked away.
Turning around, these civil servants can only count on the next emperor!It should be noted that Zhu Yuanzhang is almost forty, and he is the emperor on horseback. According to common sense, it is not bad to be the emperor for another ten years. Therefore, if the next emperor is inclined to them, then the final winner is still them.
This is also the strength of Confucianism, Confucianism has always been patient!This has been the case since the Han Dynasty. The Huang-Lao School, which was originally a prominent school, was forced to become a pure religion. As for Legalism, it was also integrated into Confucianism. Confucianism absorbed the advantages of other schools and became a religion. The last winner.
When it came to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and because of the political background at that time, Confucianism was just the younger brother at that time, and there were still Buddhism and Taoism in front of it!But, at that time, Confucianism had already become another monster, that is, the aristocratic family!The aristocratic families have mastered the inheritance of knowledge and a large amount of land. It can be said that they have monopolized whether it is the most basic food and clothing or the right to speak at the upper level!
Even though the imperial examination system gradually matured later, and a decisive and unreasonable queen was put on the table, who killed the family and the family to pieces, but Confucianism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone feels that only by studying Confucianism can one become an official , in order to achieve one's own ambitions, so Confucianism has become a big tail, and it is impossible to get rid of it!
During the Yuan Dynasty, Confucianism naturally suffered a lot of blows. If the Yuan Dynasty’s Guozuo was relatively long, Confucianism might be able to change smoothly once and become a knowledge that can cater to the Yuan court. Fortunately, the Yuan court is finished, and Confucianism is barely Some skeletons from the past have been retained, but now, with Zhu Yuanzhang playing cards against common sense and the only grassroots emperor on the stand, Confucianism is a little bit awkward for a while.
They want to put a bridle on Zhu Yuanzhang, so it means that Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestor should be Zhu Xi. In this case, the old Zhu family is also a Confucian sage, so naturally they should respect Confucianism!The problem is, who is Zhu Yuanzhang? He scoffed at such things, and said directly, I am a commoner in Huaizuo!The ancestors of our old Zhu's family used to dig food from the soil, so we don't have anything to do with famous people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to have anything to do with Zhu Xi.At this time, Zhu Xi hadn’t actually been packaged as a saint. When Song Lian told Zhu Biao about Zhu Zi’s Annotations, Shu Yun flipped through the book and told Zhu Biao about some things about Zhu Xi. Tell Zhu Biao that knowledge is not the same thing as character.A well-educated person may not necessarily have a strong character!
In the later generations, Shu Yun has seen many things. In the later generations, people are impetuous. In order to protect their own interests, those with vested interests will often cooperate with the academic circles and seek the help of celebrities in the academic circles to speak out for their actions. For packaging, for example, if the housing price will continue to rise, and the increase is reasonable, many of them are packaged with the help of academics.Some theories that were later refuted had many fans at the beginning!For example, the founders of the theory of acid-base balance in the human body have been condemned and punished by the United States, and there are still experts in China advocating it!
Therefore, there is no need to be superstitious about this kind of academic authority, just learn some truths, and there is no need to be fooled by them!In particular, the core of Confucianism is the so-called preservation of the principles of nature and the elimination of human desires. If the so-called desires are really eliminated, then what name do these civil servants want?
Shu Yun said something casually to Zhu Biao, which greatly affected his three views, and then he went to ask Zhu Yuanzhang. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Shu Yun didn't know about it from some wild history, so he asked someone to ask him. As a result, after reading the records, I only felt suspicious of life!Now when he hears that others have connected him with Zhu Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang only feels annoyed, the thought in his heart is probably similar to Xiao Feng's thinking about Murong Fu, Xiao, a handsome man, is as famous as a villain like you!What a hero I am, Zhu Yuanzhang, do I need to recognize people like you as ancestors for the sake of mere fame?This not only humiliates me, but also humiliates the ancestors of my Zhu family. Among other things, the ancestors of our old Zhu family are at least innocent!
Therefore, even if those civil servants came up with a genealogical research that seemed to be serious, Zhu Yuanzhang still dismissed it, so that they could only recognize it in the end, and devoted themselves to teaching Zhu Biao, trying to turn Zhu Biao into what they needed That kind of emperor is preferably Renzong like Zhao Zhen.With such a heavy expectation, these civil servants appear to be more honest!It's a pity that they really didn't realize that under Zhu Biao's gentle appearance, his personality was probably a little less tyrannical than Zhu Yuanzhang's!
Zhu Biao is not hypocritical, but he has always shown a kind of basic courtesy, or self-cultivation. What he appreciates is the words of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Han family has its own system, and it should be ruled by the king. miscellaneous.Zhao Zhen was blindly lenient, but in the end, he didn't even have a son, and his daughter was wronged, so she couldn't help her make decisions, so he adopted a son, but this one turned around and made his biological father the imperial examination. It can be said that I have been aggrieved for a lifetime, except for a good reputation, in fact, I have not gained any benefits.
As for Zhu Biao, he wants both face and lining, but when the two conflict, the lining is obviously more important.
He is still young now, Song Lian and the others feel that Zhu Biao has been taught to be a benevolent gentleman, and when they know what kind of character Zhu Biao really is, they will be so angry that they will hit their heads to death.
Shu Yun would not want his son to become a benevolent monarch like Zhao Zhen, and the emperor is not a sage, he must pay attention to benevolence and righteousness in everything.In fact, even Confucius punished Shaozhengmao. Does he really have any evidence that Shaozhengmao committed a crime?This matter is said by Confucian disciples to be the same as what, in essence, it is to exclude dissidents.
Zhu Biao maintains basic respect for his teachers, but he doesn't listen to everything from them, or in other words, in many cases, Zhu Biao just obeys and obeys.Shu Yun never directly instilled any thoughts in Zhu Biao, and usually guided Zhu Biao to think for himself from the side, with the help of history books.In history, when it comes to benevolence and righteousness, there is no better person than Song Xianggong. In the end, this man abided by the so-called benevolence and righteousness, and refused to attack halfway. He had to wait until everyone was ready before attacking. All countries are finished!
And another typical example is Liu Bang, who hardly talks about rules, not to mention his wife and children, even his father. If he speaks with a hippie smile, he just wants to share a piece of my pie. He clearly made an agreement with Xiang Yu to rule the river. The agreement was made here, but he immediately regretted it later, ambushed him from all sides, and sent Xiang Yu directly to his death, but he became Han Gaozu!Xiang Yu was bright and upright, but he ruined the lives of Jiangdong's children, and finally had to kill himself in Wujiang.
Therefore, if Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, aims to be an emperor, then it is best to learn from Yang Guang when he is a prince, and package himself as a morally perfect person, and after becoming an emperor, he can reveal himself It's my nature!
Of course, Zhu Biao was much luckier than Yang Guang. Yang Guang was only the second son, not the eldest son, so there was no need to wrong him too much.
On this point, Shu Yun felt that he still believed in Zhu Yuanzhang. Compared with other emperors, Zhu Yuanzhang was much more affectionate. In history, when Zhu Biao died, he only focused on establishing a grandson and did not consider other sons at all.Of course, according to the patriarchal clan, it is true that the eldest grandson has higher inheritance rights than the second son.However, such things as the succession of the throne cannot be completely relied on the patriarchal clan, but depends on the strength.Besides, Zhu Yunqi was not justifiable at first, he was not Zhu Biao's eldest son, nor was he a legitimate son.
However, thinking about history, Shu Yun felt that she had to pay attention to her sons. It seems that the sons she gave birth to were not very long-lived?
Of course, history now only has reference value. Compared with that so-called history, there are already many deviations. At least Shu Yun's personality is far from that of Queen Ma in history!Obviously, Shu Yun doesn't intend to be someone else, she has always been herself!
In any case, as long as there are no accidents, the future throne will not fall aside. Therefore, Shu Yun does not need to let Zhu Biao learn to fight with other brothers to win Zhu Yuanzhang's favor. What Zhu Biao needs to learn is actually the way of governing the country. skills, and these, he needs to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang.As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang will feel that his son threatens him in the future, that is another matter!
Everyone didn’t want to challenge Zhu Yuanzhang’s deception at all, what’s more, Zhu Yuanzhang’s imperial decree was also written very high-sounding. Things like slavery are always against the teachings of the saints. The saints said that we should be old and old. , young and young, and young, Zigong still helped the country buy slaves back then, not to mention that now, house slaves are also human beings!In the palace, there are so many concubines, emperors and concubines, and how many servants are used by the princes and princesses. In particular, according to the new palace regulations formulated by Shu Yun, palace maids who have reached the age of 25 have to leave the palace to marry, and the palace will prepare a wedding ceremony. a dowry.As for the eunuchs, as I said before, the eunuchs used in the palace are either left by the Yuan court or captured in foreign wars. Therefore, the emperor’s family is not willing to order their own people at will. How dare a few filthy money order so many servants?
Such a propaganda is a typical political correctness. If the royal family is like this, how can the people below let the people who are also the Han family be slaves and handmaids for generations?
There are still a lot of slaves released by these powerful families. In order to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from making use of the topic, they even released a lot more, so as not to be arrested later. After these slaves were released, they were naturally registered directly with the government. Deliberately disgusting people, many of the slaves released were old and weak women and children, with few strong laborers, but since they did so, although Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, but he always held grudges, and these things happened to him With a small book, one can imagine what will happen afterwards.In any case, these old and weak can only be resettled on the spot, and forcing them to emigrate will kill them!But for the younger ones, if they are willing to emigrate, they can be exempted from the government's redemption fee, otherwise, they have to pay back the money within five years.
Therefore, those young slaves who were released are more willing to immigrate. On the one hand, immigration has various benefits.

Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely a ruthless person, and soon, the court began to reorganize again.

When Zhu Yuanzhang formulated this system, Shu Yun came up with a lot of ideas, such as this kind of training and practice, it was Shu Yun who suggested it.In addition, Shu Yun just pointed out that officials and officials should not be clearly distinguished.At present, most of the small officials in the Ming Dynasty, from the head of the village, the head of the security to the yamen in the yamen, are mostly retired sergeants. Those who need a certain amount of cultural knowledge, these sergeants are naturally incompetent. Officials were originally hereditary. This is also the so-called iron-clad yamen and flowing county magistrates.In the past, small officials at all levels were generally inherited from generation to generation. Officials had to go through these small officials, even county lieutenants, if they wanted to do anything. If you have the heart, you can easily take over your immediate boss.Of course, under normal circumstances, everyone would not do this, it is a taboo thing.
And Shu Yun felt that it is true that junior officials at the grassroots level can still be selected from veterans, but in addition, they should also be given a channel for promotion.In other words, if these small officials have enough talents, they can also be promoted to officials. This is also a warning for those officials who came from the imperial examination. Don't think that only you can use the emperor, there are many people who can use it!
Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be superstitious that only the imperial examinations can produce talents. Talents are actually honed.Therefore, when he employs people, he only sees whether they can do it or not, and whether they are loyal enough. As for where they came from and how they got promoted, he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to implement these policies smoothly mainly because the world was initially determined. What's more, before that, there were no rules for many things. Those officials who wanted to object could not use the example of the previous dynasty as an example. How much is worth learning?
When Zhu Yuanzhang was mean, it was really enough to make people vomit blood. Some people said there that they shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang interjected that he treated the scholar-bureaucrats like that in the Song Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang was raised. As for Lu Xiufu, who is willing to take the young master to die for the country, it is already considered good. Most of them have received the favor of the Song court, and they will give it to Liao, Xixia, and Jin. Work for the Mongols?
Once Zhu Yuanzhang said this, what else did other people have to say? This is simply pointing at the noses of these civil servants. You are a bunch of fools, and you are not reliable at all. What face do you have to rule the world with you?
In addition, a group of military generals did not have much affection for civil servants. These generals were all from the grassroots, and they were also a class despised by these literati back then.What's more, for their sake, they also have their own views on many things in the past.If these civil servants were allowed to restore the system of the Song Dynasty, how would they have a good life as generals!It should be noted that in the Song Dynasty, such a famous general as Di Qing who had the merits of suppressing the rebellion and nearly destroying the country had to bow his head when facing civil servants!The question is, why!
These nobles followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world. It can be said that they will retire with the country in the future, but the virtue of civil servants is nothing more than changing masters. So, why do they want to stand on their own heads!
So in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even need to speak, and a group of sons and nobles just cursed and hurt the civil servants so much that they hid their faces and walked away.
Turning around, these civil servants can only count on the next emperor!It should be noted that Zhu Yuanzhang is almost forty, and he is the emperor on horseback. According to common sense, it is not bad to be the emperor for another ten years. Therefore, if the next emperor is inclined to them, then the final winner is still them.
This is also the strength of Confucianism, Confucianism has always been patient!This has been the case since the Han Dynasty. The Huang-Lao School, which was originally a prominent school, was forced to become a pure religion. As for Legalism, it was also integrated into Confucianism. Confucianism absorbed the advantages of other schools and became a religion. The last winner.
When it came to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and because of the political background at that time, Confucianism was just the younger brother at that time, and there were still Buddhism and Taoism in front of it!But, at that time, Confucianism had already become another monster, that is, the aristocratic family!The aristocratic families have mastered the inheritance of knowledge and a large amount of land. It can be said that they have monopolized whether it is the most basic food and clothing or the right to speak at the upper level!
Even though the imperial examination system gradually matured later, and a decisive and unreasonable queen was put on the table, who killed the family and the family to pieces, but Confucianism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone feels that only by studying Confucianism can one become an official , in order to achieve one's own ambitions, so Confucianism has become a big tail, and it is impossible to get rid of it!
During the Yuan Dynasty, Confucianism naturally suffered a lot of blows. If the Yuan Dynasty’s Guozuo was relatively long, Confucianism might be able to change smoothly once and become a knowledge that can cater to the Yuan court. Fortunately, the Yuan court is finished, and Confucianism is barely Some skeletons from the past have been retained, but now, with Zhu Yuanzhang playing cards against common sense and the only grassroots emperor on the stand, Confucianism is a little bit awkward for a while.
They want to put a bridle on Zhu Yuanzhang, so it means that Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestor should be Zhu Xi. In this case, the old Zhu family is also a Confucian sage, so naturally they should respect Confucianism!The problem is, who is Zhu Yuanzhang? He scoffed at such things, and said directly, I am a commoner in Huaizuo!The ancestors of our old Zhu's family used to dig food from the soil, so we don't have anything to do with famous people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to have anything to do with Zhu Xi.At this time, Zhu Xi hadn’t actually been packaged as a saint. When Song Lian told Zhu Biao about Zhu Zi’s Annotations, Shu Yun flipped through the book and told Zhu Biao about some things about Zhu Xi. Tell Zhu Biao that knowledge is not the same thing as character.A well-educated person may not necessarily have a strong character!
In the later generations, Shu Yun has seen many things. In the later generations, people are impetuous. In order to protect their own interests, those with vested interests will often cooperate with the academic circles and seek the help of celebrities in the academic circles to speak out for their actions. For packaging, for example, if the housing price will continue to rise, and the increase is reasonable, many of them are packaged with the help of academics.Some theories that were later refuted had many fans at the beginning!For example, the founders of the theory of acid-base balance in the human body have been condemned and punished by the United States, and there are still experts in China advocating it!
Therefore, there is no need to be superstitious about this kind of academic authority, just learn some truths, and there is no need to be fooled by them!In particular, the core of Confucianism is the so-called preservation of the principles of nature and the elimination of human desires. If the so-called desires are really eliminated, then what name do these civil servants want?
Shu Yun said something casually to Zhu Biao, which greatly affected his three views, and then he went to ask Zhu Yuanzhang. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Shu Yun didn't know about it from some wild history, so he asked someone to ask him. As a result, after reading the records, I only felt suspicious of life!Now when he hears that others have connected him with Zhu Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang only feels annoyed, the thought in his heart is probably similar to Xiao Feng's thinking about Murong Fu, Xiao, a handsome man, is as famous as a villain like you!What a hero I am, Zhu Yuanzhang, do I need to recognize people like you as ancestors for the sake of mere fame?This not only humiliates me, but also humiliates the ancestors of my Zhu family. Among other things, the ancestors of our old Zhu family are at least innocent!
Therefore, even if those civil servants came up with a genealogical research that seemed to be serious, Zhu Yuanzhang still dismissed it, so that they could only recognize it in the end, and devoted themselves to teaching Zhu Biao, trying to turn Zhu Biao into what they needed That kind of emperor is preferably Renzong like Zhao Zhen.With such a heavy expectation, these civil servants appear to be more honest!It's a pity that they really didn't realize that under Zhu Biao's gentle appearance, his personality was probably a little less tyrannical than Zhu Yuanzhang's!
Zhu Biao is not hypocritical, but he has always shown a kind of basic courtesy, or self-cultivation. What he appreciates is the words of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Han family has its own system, and it should be ruled by the king. miscellaneous.Zhao Zhen was blindly lenient, but in the end, he didn't even have a son, and his daughter was wronged, so she couldn't help her make decisions, so he adopted a son, but this one turned around and made his biological father the imperial examination. It can be said that I have been aggrieved for a lifetime, except for a good reputation, in fact, I have not gained any benefits.
As for Zhu Biao, he wants both face and lining, but when the two conflict, the lining is obviously more important.
He is still young now, Song Lian and the others feel that Zhu Biao has been taught to be a benevolent gentleman, and when they know what kind of character Zhu Biao really is, they will be so angry that they will hit their heads to death.
Shu Yun would not want his son to become a benevolent monarch like Zhao Zhen, and the emperor is not a sage, he must pay attention to benevolence and righteousness in everything.In fact, even Confucius punished Shaozhengmao. Does he really have any evidence that Shaozhengmao committed a crime?This matter is said by Confucian disciples to be the same as what, in essence, it is to exclude dissidents.
Zhu Biao maintains basic respect for his teachers, but he doesn't listen to everything from them, or in other words, in many cases, Zhu Biao just obeys and obeys.Shu Yun never directly instilled any thoughts in Zhu Biao, and usually guided Zhu Biao to think for himself from the side, with the help of history books.In history, when it comes to benevolence and righteousness, there is no better person than Song Xianggong. In the end, this man abided by the so-called benevolence and righteousness, and refused to attack halfway. He had to wait until everyone was ready before attacking. All countries are finished!
And another typical example is Liu Bang, who hardly talks about rules, not to mention his wife and children, even his father. If he speaks with a hippie smile, he just wants to share a piece of my pie. He clearly made an agreement with Xiang Yu to rule the river. The agreement was made here, but he immediately regretted it later, ambushed him from all sides, and sent Xiang Yu directly to his death, but he became Han Gaozu!Xiang Yu was bright and upright, but he ruined the lives of Jiangdong's children, and finally had to kill himself in Wujiang.
Therefore, if Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, aims to be an emperor, then it is best to learn from Yang Guang when he is a prince, and package himself as a morally perfect person, and after becoming an emperor, he can reveal himself It's my nature!
Of course, Zhu Biao was much luckier than Yang Guang. Yang Guang was only the second son, not the eldest son, so there was no need to wrong him too much.
On this point, Shu Yun felt that he still believed in Zhu Yuanzhang. Compared with other emperors, Zhu Yuanzhang was much more affectionate. In history, when Zhu Biao died, he only focused on establishing a grandson and did not consider other sons at all.Of course, according to the patriarchal clan, it is true that the eldest grandson has higher inheritance rights than the second son.However, such things as the succession of the throne cannot be completely relied on the patriarchal clan, but depends on the strength.Besides, Zhu Yunqi was not justifiable at first, he was not Zhu Biao's eldest son, nor was he a legitimate son.
However, thinking about history, Shu Yun felt that she had to pay attention to her sons. It seems that the sons she gave birth to were not very long-lived?
Of course, history now only has reference value. Compared with that so-called history, there are already many deviations. At least Shu Yun's personality is far from that of Queen Ma in history!Obviously, Shu Yun doesn't intend to be someone else, she has always been herself!
In any case, as long as there are no accidents, the future throne will not fall aside. Therefore, Shu Yun does not need to let Zhu Biao learn to fight with other brothers to win Zhu Yuanzhang's favor. What Zhu Biao needs to learn is actually the way of governing the country. skills, and these, he needs to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang.As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang will feel that his son threatens him in the future, that is another matter!
