First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang almost made a final decision, denying the theory of the induction of heaven and man.

Hearing this, the old man almost fainted. He said sadly: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and the destiny of Heaven will return. If there is no response from Heaven and Man, where will the Son of Heaven come? Wu Guogong, don't listen to what Huangkou Ruzi said, it will cause disaster in the future. Infinite!"

Zhang Ximeng suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the old man, but he held back and said nothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled indifferently, "The Son of Heaven has a wide range in the world, sits on the four seas, has the title of Heaven, and respects the Son. Don't we also honor Confucius and Mencius? The Son of Heaven also means the same thing. As for saying that there are endless disasters, we just look at it. Can't come out."

Huang Jin was stunned for a moment, only to feel exhausted, he had never met such a difficult person before.

"King Wu, the power of the Son of Heaven is above the nine heavens, and he is between the nine and the fifth. One person in the world is indescribably precious. Only in this way can we deter Xiaoxiao disciples. People with ambitions in all directions will not dare to act rashly. Peace and tranquility, the country is long!”

The old man was hard-hearted, and to be honest, if it were a peaceful time, no one would dare to refute this. If you want to refute, is it because you want to be a chaotic minister and a thief, and you can't bring chaos to the world?

Only at this time, the persuasiveness of the old man's reasoning dropped to the lowest level.

You said that the mythical emperor can frighten careerists and bring peace to the world, so what happened to Emperor Dayuan? What happened to Dayuan Jiangshan?

As long as they're not blind, no one knows what's going on. wω.877.℃Ο

Zhang Ximeng found that the old man's hands were tucked into his sleeves, and he was already trembling. If he continued to stimulate him, it was estimated that this man would really explain it here.

Therefore, Zhang Ximeng stood up again and bowed deeply in front of Huang Cheng.

"Senior, I am young in my late life, and my knowledge is shallow, but I do know that since ancient times, there have been many civil servants who have used the changes in the sky to persuade the king, correct mistakes, and abolish bad governance. It is not unreasonable to say that heaven and man are in touch. But now the lord has realized that the will of heaven is the will of the people, and the will of heaven is the will of the people. If the people suffer, they will naturally get rid of the bad governance, and there is no need to talk about the change of heaven. Wouldn’t it be more straightforward?”

"After all, how to interpret celestial phenomena is not so easy. You say that there will be a solar eclipse, because God thinks that the emperor is immoral, but if it is a partial solar eclipse, how should you explain it? If it catches up with the thick clouds, what should you say? The celestial phenomena are ever-changing. Confucius said, don’t talk about strange forces and chaos. Taking the clear and neat public opinion, isn’t it more stable and reliable? Also, the so-called theory of the induction of heaven and man, many people use the celestial phenomena to change. Bewitching people's hearts, slanderous words to confuse people, so much so that they raise troops to cause chaos and bring disaster to the world. There is no need to say more about all kinds of behaviors."

"Wan Sheng is really shallow and doesn't know much. If the old seniors can have a more advanced opinion, then he might as well speak it out in front of the world in public, and let the big guys decide. Wan Sheng thinks that there is nothing wrong with the world. It can be said. I can't say it, that is, there are hidden feelings in it, and it is still not so hidden that can be brought on the stage!"

Zhang Ximeng's humbly asking for advice was enough to give the old man Huang Ch's face.

But the truth he said was to name some of the positive effects of the theory of the induction of heaven and man. But since we can go one step further, why not replace the celestial phenomena with the popular will?

Wouldn't this be more consistent with Confucianism's original intention of benevolent government and caring for the people?

There are many well-educated people present, and it is only Gao Qi and others who can understand that it is indeed worth looking into.

The so-called induction of heaven and man is actually somewhat contrary to Confucius's proposition. The reason why it occurs may be related to people's reverence for the existence of God.

But after more than a thousand years of development, especially when used in court, it has become a game tool between monarchs and ministers, and it has also become a weapon for cronies to criticize each other.

This point should not be too obvious in the struggle between old and new parties in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The first slogan of Wang Anshi's reforms is that there is nothing to fear when the sky changes.

The scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty liked to use the change of the sky to force the emperor to commit crimes and overturn the laws that were unfavorable to them. This trick was tried and tested.

Huang Jin glared at Zhang Ximeng, he found that this young man was soft-spoken and calm, but he was very cunning and difficult to deal with.

He snorted coldly and said, "The Son of Heaven is supreme, and only God can warn the Son of Heaven. How can ordinary grass people deceive the Heaven?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Senior is very good, but I don't know if the predecessors have read history books? For example, Zizhi Tongjian?" Before waiting for the old man to speak, Zhang Ximeng said directly: "It's the late Sheng who is confused, the old gentleman must be familiar with the history of the scriptures, and he understands better than the late Sheng. There are many. When I checked the history books, I found that there are records of solar eclipses almost every year, at most every one or two years... If it is true as the saying goes, it means that for thousands of years, all the emperors have not had a sage. Jun? All of them are foolish lords who have been warned by God?"

When Zhang Ximeng said this, everyone present was stunned?

Is it really like what he said, the eclipses are so frequent?

It seems that this is the case. As a celestial phenomenon, solar eclipses occur around the world twice a year, and a partial solar eclipse occurs every three or four years in one place. Of course, such a total solar eclipse will take hundreds of years to encounter.

Considering the time of occurrence, as well as the weather conditions, the extent of the eclipse, the number of eclipses that people perceive, not so much.

In the history books of the past dynasties, we can often see records of solar eclipses, almost every year. It can only be said that our observation records are still very complete and credible.

But this is an interesting phenomenon. The solar eclipse is so frequent. If you include locust plagues, floods, droughts, earthquakes... If this is a warning from God, reminding your son that you have done something wrong, then obviously, the emperor All decisions can be denied through celestial phenomena.

Song Lian and others are all learned people. When they first heard Zhang Ximeng's words, they were a little shocked, but after careful consideration, it seems that this is indeed the case. This Zhang Xianggong can always find things that others are not easily aware of.

"The power of the sky is unpredictable, don't talk nonsense!" Huang Jin gritted his teeth.

Zhang Ximeng hurriedly said: "Sir, I was born late because I wanted to ask for advice, and I don't believe that all emperors are obscure monarchs. The so-called heaven is always going to happen, and many things are natural and have no special meaning. I was thinking, If in the court, the emperor can't do things, and the prime ministers and ministers can't do things... Then who is the world in this world? Is the emperor really supreme? Can he say everything? If the emperor's words don't count, then who Does it count?"

"Zhang Ximeng!"

Huang Jin stood up trembling with anger, and pointed out, "You, you are too arrogant! You talk nonsense and corrupt Gangchang, you should be punished by heaven!"

Zhang Ximeng still smiled, "Senior, Chao Wendao, Xi can die. I'm not a person who cherishes my life. It's just that I'm a bit of a digger... You don't need to be angry, you might as well talk about it, At first, it was suggested that the induction of heaven and man may have the heart of persuading the king. After the Song Dynasty, this thing has become more and more a means for some people to cage the emperor and protect their own interests. If they feel that the laws are not good for themselves, they use the changes of the heavens, wanton propaganda, and interpret them indiscriminately. , slandering the imperial court, slandering the emperor and father. The ultimate purpose is to make things dirty."

"Fortunately, this kind of natural change happens almost every year. As long as you catch the incident of the natural change, you can stir up all the political affairs of the Yellow Emperor, the old and new parties in Zhao and Song Dynasty, and they criticize each other. In the end, the reform fails and nothing can be done. As for Jingkang's shame, it seems to have something to do with it!"

Hearing this, Huang Ming was already dumbfounded, his body swayed, and he was about to fall down. Fortunately, Zhang Ximeng was quick and fast, and supported Huang Ming.

The famous doctors who had been on standby by the side all ran over, hurriedly supported the old man, and sent him down.

Still haven't caught fire.

Zhang Ximeng blamed himself a little. In fact, he should be more humble and courteous. He should clarify things clearly while talking and laughing. That is his real ability.

Especially to convince the other party, and not to faint at every turn... It seems that he needs to practice more and improve his skills.

He was reflecting on his own shortcomings, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already shown an expression of admiration, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was to pay more attention to public opinion. Compared with the illusory will of God, people like him who played all the way naturally believed in the real people's will.

Until I heard that there is a solar eclipse almost every year, and the sky changes... Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't calm down.

Almost fell into a pit again!

Doing things according to public opinion, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is good or bad, how to adjust, at least there is a basis.

But according to God's will, every year is a solar eclipse, and nothing can be done... Isn't this the end of Zhao Song?

And once nothing can be done, nothing can be changed.

In this case, who will benefit?

Obviously not the common people, nor does it seem to be His Majesty the Emperor.

If you think about this clearly, you will also understand the greatest benefit of abolishing the theory of the induction of heaven and man.

Established a direct connection between the emperor and the common people, and removed the middlemen to earn the difference

From this point of view, Zhang Ximeng's proposition even greatly strengthens the imperial power.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang be unhappy... He even took the lead in slapping his hands.

The superior takes the lead, how can it be idle?

Does anyone else dare to hesitate?

I saw thunderous applause from the audience up and down, all of which were the sound of admiration.

As for Huang Daru, who was carried by the doctor, who would care?

After a long time, the slaps were all red, and Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, and he smiled happily: "Since the matter has been made clear, we are here and want to ask the big guy? Is Gaozong the culprit of Yue Fei's unjust case? ?"

"Yes! It's him! It's Wanyan Gou!" The people shouted in unison.

"Then we erect a kneeling statue of Yue Fei in front of his grave, is it right or wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"That's right! That's right! The superior is wise! The superior is doing a good job!"

Lao Zhu looked at the people who were like the tide and the tsunami, his face flushed, and he said loudly, "Do we follow the public opinion when we do this? How do you think we are doing?"

"Okay! This is public opinion! We all think so! High... Long live!"
