First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Ximeng's mansion naturally does not have any gold and silver treasures, as for valuable calligraphy and painting, that is impossible.

"Zhang Xiang really is An Pian Le Dao, a role model for my generation!" Wang Guangyang followed with admiration, and the others also followed suit. To be honest, when I think about the furnishings in my home, and then look at Zhang's mansion, except that it may be a little more spacious, the rest is useless.

The bamboo utensils in this house are probably not as valuable as a mahogany carved Taishi chair.

No, absolutely not. After returning home, quickly remove all the calligraphy and paintings, and replace all the furniture. Otherwise, one day they will pass and inspect each family according to Zhang's standard. It is estimated that they will all be company with Li Menggeng.

But among the crowd, there were some who understood what was going on.

Li Shanchang could see clearly that Zhang Ximeng himself was known as Master Zhang. Among his peers, even Jia Lu and Zhu Sheng, who would have the face to write a word and hang it in Zhang Ximeng's house? Do you want to be old?

As for the characters of the previous dynasty, who is suitable to hang?

Su Dongpo's?

His reputation is not small, but he is a typical centrist, and putting him here will only bring down the style of Zhang Mansion.

Generally talented people can't do it, neither can those great Confucian scholars. You can't put up a banner in Zhang Ximeng's house that says "Preserve Heaven's Principles and Exterminate Human Desires"!

Li Shanchang thought about it for a while, and then he realized sadly that Zhang Ximeng was impeccable, and King Kong was not broken.

It belongs to the kind of person who stands on Mount Tai and looks down at the common people.

Demon!

Li Shanchang gritted his teeth anxiously, is there no way to pull Zhang Ximeng down?

Old Li thought anxiously, and suddenly saw Jiang Nan... Almost instantly, Li Shanchang thought of a way that was not a solution. It is impossible to directly attack Zhang Ximeng, so he can only start with the people around him.

I just hope that Zhang Ximeng will get married soon, and it doesn't matter who it is, getting married and having children, and having children, may have a handle. At that time, Zhang Ximeng will not be as easy as it is now.

When Li Shanchang was thinking about it, Yang Xian stabbed him, "Li Xiang, everyone has gone to the East Branch."

Li Shanchang shuddered and hurried over.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and his ministers paced in front of the shelves of books.

If nothing else, Zhang Mansion's books are terrifying.

If it's just too much, that's fine. Many books include Zhang Ximeng's review, and he will put some notes in the middle with comments on certain points of view.

There are not only articles of Confucianism in the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, including the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Zhang Ximeng, and Zhang Ximeng are not polite.

Lao Zhu was curious and looked down at the two lines of words, and his face immediately changed.

Isn't this nonsense?

Mr. Zhang, we asked them to come over to open their eyes, not to let them see you slandering sages!

While Zhu Yuanzhang was pondering, Wang Guangyang stuck his head and saw a few lines of words: Chao Wendao, you can die in the evening!

He heard about Lu in the morning, and beat him to death in the evening... It embodies the master's martial spirit that revenge does not stay overnight.

If the gentleman is not serious, he will not be prestige: if the gentleman does not strike hard, it is not enough to establish prestige. Governing the country should be strict, and the troubled times should be heavy.

Everything should be established in advance, and if not foreseen, it will be abandoned... In reform and reform, there will be many difficulties with hesitation. Confucius has insight into the mystery of reform, if Wang Anshi can understand the true meaning of Confucius, behead Sima Guang, and exterminate Fubi and Wen Yanbo, then the reform will be complete!

…

When Wang Guangyang saw this, his mind was already messed up, my God!

After so many years, are the Analects of Confucius I read all fake?

Is what Zhang Xiang explained the Master's true meaning?

When Wang Guangyang was hesitating, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head sharply, saw him at a glance, and stared at him. It's clearly warning him, don't talk nonsense!

Wang Guangyang's mind turned quickly, he had never been so anxious in his life, and his forehead was sweating. Unexpectedly, he was so blessed that he thought of a wonderful reason.

"Superior, since ancient times, the way of Confucius and Mencius has been misinterpreted by too many Confucian scholars, such as repaying grievances with virtue, etc. There has always been controversy... Zhang Xiang is a great sage in the world. It is a joke and a funny way to remind the world, how to grasp the true meaning of the sages, how to take the essence and get rid of the dross, and use good intentions, it is extraordinary!"

After listening to Wang Guangyang's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang began to be suspicious. Could it be that Mr. Zhang's "Whispering Words" was really well-intentioned?

At this moment, Yang Yuangao, Ruan Hongdao, Song Lian and others all came over and asked for a look.

The big guy was amazed as he circulated it, and there were several people who were serious about the matter and said: "Superior, Confucius is in a world of great competition. , maybe Zhang Xiang's meaning is closer to the original meaning of the saint!"

Someone else followed: "We all knew that Confucius advocated benevolent governance, but Confucius was also decisive and rude to Shaozhengmao and others. This shows that Confucius is by no means advocating the kind of benevolence and righteousness of Song Xianggong. He said. It is great benevolence and righteousness, eradicating traitors and eradicating evil, helping society and crops, using thunderous methods, and being a bodhisattva, this is the sincerity of Confucius!"

…

Jiang Nan's eyes rolled. She was always beside Zhang Ximeng, and she couldn't help but whisper, "Zhang Xiang, are they right?"

Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyelids, I'm the one who wrote "Whisper", and I know the shit!

"This is what I wrote for Zhu Ying for fun. They can think whatever they like!"

Jiang Nan understood instantly and almost laughed.

But laugh after laugh, but this matter may not really only deserve a laugh.

As Wang Guangyang said, Confucianism has been misinterpreted too much... In other words, the past dynasties are constantly filling in the content and guiding the direction according to their own needs.

The Neo-Confucianism of Zhao Song and Han Confucianism are vastly different.

Thinking of it this way, it seems reasonable and reasonable for Zhang Ximeng to advocate re-setting the outline and re-creating the universe.

Seeing no, this is the hegemony of the right to speak.

Without debating scriptures, there are great Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River.

Many people feel that they have opened their minds and have a different kind of understanding. We Zhang Xianggong are really extraordinary!

"Higher, the jade of He's family is not decorated with five colors, and the pearl of Sui Hou is not decorated with silver and yellow. The quality is so beautiful that the old things are not enough to decorate it. Zhang Xiang's knowledge is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and his character and integrity are the best in the world. This is God bestows the sages, and helps the superiors to achieve dominance!" Li Shanchang bowed his body and complimented him.

The rest of the people also praised it. Some people said that Zhang Xiangan was poor and happy, and some people said that Zhang Xiangde competed with Marquis Wu.

Zhang Ximeng gained more flattery on this day than in the past few years combined.

But in the end, I have to listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's summary, "Let's take you to see Li Menggeng's mansion. At home, he sleeps on a big bed made of ivory painted with gold, which is more than 20 feet wide! How big is he, he actually wants to sleep Such a big bed? Coveting to enjoy, get carried away, this is the beginning of a person's deterioration. Most corrupt officials are not necessarily born to be greedy and pervert the law, and regard the law as nothing."

"There are too many people who, after taking power, can't stand the temptation, they are greedy for money, or lustful, or they love fame... All in all, people have caught the little braids, and they have to be controlled by others! A different end."

"Let's show you today, just to tell you guys that as Mr. Zhang, you wear commoner clothes, sleep on bamboo beds, grow your own food, and enjoy yourself. Ask yourself, whether you are more virtuous than Mr. Zhang, or better than Zhang Xiang. ?"

Old Zhu glanced at everyone majestically and said with a sneer: "Some time ago, because of the salary, there were many people who were fighting with Li, feeling that we gave less, and we couldn't be like the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty, who were aloof and could do whatever they wanted! We don't need you to be as poor as Zhang Xiang, but you still want to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow? The salary we give is enough for you to wear silk and satin and have meat in your meal, right?"

"Let's tell all the officials here... Under our rule, there is no such thing as promotion and making a fortune. If you feel that we are mean and mean, you can just go to Zhang Shicheng. We just remind everyone that when our army of Wu State passes by, all jade and stone will be burned! "

After saying this, everyone was horrified.

Lao Zhu has this temperament. He wants to be sincere and sincere, and reason with a kindness.

But in the end, he still couldn't help but feel murderous.

We can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing, and life without worries, but that's about it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also wants us to treat you as our ancestors, to support your extravagant enjoyment and excessive hobbies, that's why you don't even think about it!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Jiang Nan and remembered another thing.

"Also, we have banned the painting boat brothel, and we don't allow this kind of harmful place to exist. But Li Menggeng, a dignified minister, dared to blatantly bring two women into the mansion, and boasted to them that he was good at it, proclaiming himself prime minister, Ugly and disgusting!"

"Let the Secretary of Gong Guard send someone to investigate it to the end immediately... By the way, Jiang Tiju, do you know any other female officials?"

Jiang Nan hurriedly said: "If you go back to the upper position, there are three female chiefs in the Du branch office, and there are dozens of female accountants below, including women who were rescued from Yangzhou brothel. In the past few years, they have used the skills they have learned. Passing the assessment, becoming a scribe, and working for the superior!"

Zhang Ximeng also added, "My lord, these female accountants are very capable of accounting, and this time they have made a lot of contributions in the case of Li Menggeng. Don't think they are women and underestimate these people. If there are still people who don't agree. , you can select scribes from other ministries and compete with them."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously, "I see... so let's take five people out and give them the title of Hundred Households, and let them go to the Guard Division to supervise this matter. We must find out all the hidden prostitutes, whether they came in from outside or were trained locally. Especially if it is implicated in kidnapping a good person as a prostitute, it will be severely punished!"

Old Zhu paused for a while, and then added: "If some of the hundreds of female households involved in the case are discussing in secret, chewing their tongues in private, slandering and slandering, don't be polite. Hard labor!"

"Besides, what you have seen and heard today, you must tell your subordinates, and the Ministry of Rites will also make it public so that the people will know!"
