Ming Dynasty Emperor Chat Group: Zhu Qizhen Quits The Group At The Beginning

84 Deification of various schools of thought! Get rid of the exclusive Confucianism, and deify the five dynasties!

After imagining it, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer suppress his expectations.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not like Confucianism very much.

In history, he once asked Mencius to leave the Confucian Temple, and asked Jiang Ziya to leave the Martial Temple and replaced him with Guan Gong….

From this we can see that Comrade Lao Zhu is a very opinionated person who does not like the Confucian school that has been rushing on the road to death since the Song Dynasty.

“No hurry, Grandfather Emperor.” Zhu Gaoxun said slowly:”I have been prepared for this matter for a long time, and I should be almost ready now, right?”

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxun mentioned Zhu Zhan’an, everyone looked at him.

Zhu Zhan’an stood up under the gaze of everyone and began to repeat what he knew.

“The Yanshenggong Mansion, as a descendant of Confucius, knelt down to the Jin people when the Jin people came during the Song Dynasty; and knelt down to the Yuan people when the Yuan Dynasty came. It has no integrity at all.”

“After the Emperor’s grandfather established his kingdom, the Yansheng Mansion quickly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty…….In order to win the hearts of scholars all over the world, I guess my grandfather must have pinched his nose to grant him the status of Yanshenggong, right?”

Zhu Zhan’an asked Zhu Yuanzhang this question, and the latter nodded immediately and pondered,”The world was just settled in the Hongwu Dynasty, and we lack talents. This descendant of Confucius has a lot of weight in the scholar community.”

“The title of Duke of Yansheng was also a last resort, and it has been so for thousands of years.”

Hearing this, Zhu Di could not help but nod his head.

Zhu Di also did not like empty talk about enlightenment, but he had to admit that if the old Zhu family wanted to rule this land well, they had to rely on this group of scholars.

The main reason for his success in the Jingnan Rebellion was that Zhu Yunwen listened to the words of Huang Zicheng and other corrupt scholars to reduce the power of the feudal lords and restore the Zhou system.

More importantly, the status of military generals declined sharply in the Jianwen Dynasty.

Imagine a general who was admired by thousands of people in the Hongwu Dynasty, but was scolded by a corrupt scholar in the Jianwen Dynasty. Which military general could bear it?

In history,”May 40″ believed that Li Jinglong could not fight. Zhu Di would definitely sneer at this statement.

If this guy can’t fight, how can he fight again and again? Forced him into a desperate situation?

His final defeat was inexplicable. It was not so much that Li Jinglong was incompetent as that he was fooling Zhu Yunwen.

Only Zhu Yunwen, this idiot, would believe Li Jinglong’s words!

The truth is that Li Jinglong had long been dissatisfied with the atmosphere of the Jianwen Dynasty, so he had been secretly helping Zhu Di.

As the saying goes, a hero’s father makes his son a hero. Li Jinglong grew up in the army under the influence of his father.

How could he not have some ability? Zhu Di, who grew up with Li Jinglong, knew his ability very well.

This is a digression, so let’s not talk about it for now.

After hearing Zhu Zhan’s question, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,”We are indeed forced to do so. Until now, we still rely on the recommendation system to obtain talents.””

“Those talented people who came out of the imperial examination system have become stupid after reading the Four Books and Five Classics! They only know the words of the sages all day long, but when they are asked to do things, they make numerous mistakes and are not fit for any important task!”

“so……”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhan’an groaned and said,”Whether it is the imperial examination reform carried out by my father or the crackdown on the Yanshenggong Mansion during the Chongzhen Dynasty, in essence, they want to change the existing situation!”

“The current situation?”

The one who raised the question was Zhu Youjian,”The reason why I, my grandson, don’t trust the court officials is that they are always focused on party struggles.”

“It can be said that in the eyes of this group of people, a person may die and a government may cease to exist, but party struggles must never stop!”

“There is a saying in their circle that being demoted by the emperor or having the country changed dynasties is not as serious as failing in a party struggle.”

“In the eyes of these people, failure in the party struggle is equivalent to disgrace, and the consequences are far more serious than being reprimanded by the emperor or demoted.”

“Suffering from this situation, for many years……The grandchildren have not found a good solution.”

After saying this, Zhu Youjian’s face was full of bitter smiles, and a sense of desolation came out spontaneously.

In fact, he knew very well that it was his poor ability and lack of qualified emperor mentality that led to the current deterioration.

If there was no famous emperor chat group, he, the emperor, was destined to become a king who lost his country.

“You are not to blame for this.” Zhu Gaoxun said a fair word,”Since the Yongle Dynasty, the princes of the Ming Dynasty have been raised like animals. You, Zhu Youjian, have rashly taken over the throne, and you have the intention to revive the Ming Dynasty, which is better than many people.”

“Right! At least better than Zhu Qizhen, that bastard!”

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di. He knew very well that with the fourth son’s ability, he would definitely not give up reducing the power of the vassal states. Treating the vassal kings like animals was probably Zhu Gaoxu’s euphemism.

After seeing the latter rubbing his nose in embarrassment, Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to scold Zhu Di in front of a group of juniors.

“Youjian, don’t blame yourself. You still have a lot of room for growth. Watch and learn slowly.”

After comforting Zhu Youjian, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhan’an and said,”Keep talking, we’re listening.”

“Yes, Grandfather Emperor!”

Zhu Zhan’an clasped his fists in greeting, and then continued:”The monopoly I just mentioned is the knowledge monopoly and upward channel monopoly that my father once told me about!”

“The gentry of the world, which originated from the aristocratic families of the Han and Tang dynasties, have always monopolized the scholar class. The people who govern the world come and go, and they have always been the same group of people.”

“During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Jiedushi killed all the powerful families. They transformed themselves into the gentry class during the Song Dynasty.”

“Taking advantage of the Song Dynasty’s overcorrection of the system of sharing the same empire with the literati, the gentry quickly monopolized the upward path”

“They made friends in their hometowns, and their students and former officials were all over the country. They annexed land in their hometowns and monopolized the right to study from generation to generation.”

“Even the so-called poor scholars do not refer to the common people who eat from the soil, but the sons of the declining gentry…….How can the real people understand the importance of knowledge?”

“Under the gentry’s set of tricks, the common people will never be able to turn over a new leaf.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and others could not help but nod their heads repeatedly. They all understood this situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang also promoted popular education, but not as much as Zhu Gaoxun.

He used to think that Zhu Gaoxun’s popular education and imperial examination reforms were all for the purpose of attracting more talents. He did not expect that there was a deeper meaning in it?

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and waited for a long time, but did not wait for Zhu Zhan’s next words,”Go on, we’re listening. If you have any questions, just say it.”

“That royal grandfather.” Zhu Zhan’an glanced at Zhu Gaoxun, and seeing the latter nod, he continued to ask:”I will continue.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that the next words might be related to him.

This was also within his expectations. Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about his shortcomings. Born in a mud-legged family, it was normal for him to have problems with some decisions.

He immediately nodded to Zhu Zhan’an and said:”Go ahead, we are mentally prepared.”

Zhu Di quietly pricked up his ears. He guessed what Zhu Zhan’an wanted to say, but he was still very curious about how the old man would react when Zhu Zhan’an said it.

Furious? Ashamed? Or silent?

In the Hongwu Dynasty, he had never seen anyone dare to find fault with the old man.

Now that his grandson has started this, he is of course very curious.

“The household registration system, the household registration system set by you, my great grandfather, has exacerbated this situation.”

With Zhu Gaoyi’s support and Zhu Yuanzhang’s permission, Zhu Zhan’an immediately had no scruples.”Under this situation, the people are locked in the inherent world, unable to break the shackles, and unable to move towards a better life through studying…….”

“Indeed, it is true.”Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but retort: “But haven’t we considered that in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, people’s livelihood was in decline, and agriculture was the foundation of a strong country?”

“Besides, we haven’t completely restricted the people. Farmers can still become officials through studying.”

Hearing this, Zhu Di pursed his lips, a little jealous,”The old man is not angry! ? If I raise this question, I will definitely be scolded!”

But no one cared about Zhu Di’s reaction at this time. Everyone’s eyes were on Zhu Zhan’an, waiting for his next words.

“That is true, the peasants can rise through education.”

Zhu Zhan’an nodded and said,”But the peasants cannot leave the prefecture or county, or even their hometown, without a pass.”

“Without seeing the outside world, how could they know the benefits of studying? So they only knew to listen to the gentry in the village and farm honestly to survive.”

“Furthermore, people whose household registration is military can only serve as soldiers for their whole lives. Even if they want to study, it is impossible!”

At this point, Zhu Zhan’an couldn’t help getting excited, with bloodshot eyes,”Grandpa Royal Grandfather, do you know how the scholars of the Chongzhen Dynasty called the soldiers?”

“Not only scholars, but even common people call soldiers”Qiu Ba” (soldiers) and feel ashamed to be associated with them.” (To read the violent and exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“These soldiers have to defend their country externally, and at the same time they will be discriminated against by scholars, common people and even merchants internally!”

“At this point, those high-ranking officials withheld most of the food and wages issued by the court! The soldiers in the army withheld another layer of money. When it came to the hands of the soldiers, there was only some bran and vegetables left! With bran and vegetables, it was considered that the generals above had a conscience.”

“The people of the Ming Dynasty have a saying: I would rather be a dog of a gentry than a dog of a soldier! How can we expect the soldiers to defend our country when they are treated like this?”

“This situation is caused by the household registration system. I know that your intention is good, but these systems have loopholes! Once there are loopholes, they will become a tool for officials to make profits…….”

Seeing Zhu Zhan’an getting more and more excited, Zhu Gaoxun sighed and said,”Stop it, my dear! No system is immutable. Aren’t we trying to remedy it now?”

“Yes!”

After being reminded by Zhu Gaoxun, Zhu Zhanyao immediately realized that he had gone too far.

He immediately kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said,”My grandson’s words were too radical. Please forgive me, Grandfather.”

Zhu Zhanyao’s words were passionate. It seemed that he could not help but express his feelings after seeing the lives of the people in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Anyway, Zhu Di was frightened and angry at the same time,”My most beloved soldiers became soldiers in the Chongzhen Dynasty?”[]

Zhu Youjian, who was standing next to Zhu Zhanyang, lowered his head and dared not face the audience.

During his seventeen years as emperor, he had never paid much attention to the living conditions of the common people…….Even now, he has not paid attention to it.

Zhu Youjian could use his busy affairs to excuse himself before, but now he has no face to do so.

Because after Zhu Zhan’an arrived in the Chongzhen Dynasty, his affairs were even busier than his.0 But even so, he still knew the situation of the lower-class people clearly. How could he not be ashamed?

From this moment on, Zhu Youjian was completely convinced.

The son of Tianchengzu was not only capable, but also cared about the people of the world. He still had a lot to learn.

“well……”

Zhu Yuanzhang was upset when Zhu Zhan’an said this, but when he thought of the prosperous scene after the Tiancheng Dynasty attached importance to commercial taxes, he was immediately discouraged.

What does this mean?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that what Zhu Zhan’an said made sense, but he felt uncomfortable thinking that his policies were refuted.

So, the scene was awkward until Zhu Gaolun interrupted and Zhu Zhan’an gave him a way out. He just said:”I am definitely not as good as you descendants. If I am wrong, then change it.” Zhu Yuanzhang’s words revealed a sense of old age, and everyone could feel that the old man seemed to have aged ten years.

Doesn’t Zhu Yuanzhang know his own problems? He knows, but he just doesn’t want to face it.

Even for the reforms of the Hongwu Dynasty, he wrote out the charter and asked Ma Xiuying to coach Zhu Zhanyu to implement it, and he remotely controlled it during the Chongzhen Dynasty.

It can be seen that this ambitious emperor is actually very entangled in his heart.

He wants to change, but he is unwilling to face the situation where the system he regards as glorious is denied.

“Grandfather Emperor.” Zhu Gaoyi laughed and said,”Is there any real saint in the world?”

Zhu Yuanzhang was sulking and said unhappily,”There is no such thing as a saint, they are just hyped up by people.”

“But my Zhu family can have it!” Zhu Gaoxun said slowly:”I have the ability to confer gods in heaven. Grandpa Emperor, you have plenty of time to acquire new knowledge and personally lead the Hongwu Dynasty to an unprecedented prosperity for the Ming Dynasty!”

“By then, Grandpa Huang will be remembered by the people of the world with gratitude. Aren’t you a saint? Why be discouraged? Time is just a unit of measurement for our Zhu family!”

How to quickly get rid of a person’s old age? For those who are in a bad state, this problem is difficult.

But for a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang, he only needs to give him a more ambitious goal.

It’s like giving the First Emperor a world map, which can make the people of later generations not suffer from the suffering of the barbarians.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes immediately burst into a burning light.

“Hahaha!”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at Zhu Gaoxun and said with a smile:”Gaoxun, you underestimate me too much. How could I possibly sink into obscurity?”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang return to normal, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said to Zhu Gaoxun with a smile:”Gaoxun, don’t forget me!”

“Don’t worry.” Zhu Gaoxun looked at everyone and said,”I have already made arrangements for everyone, and no one will be left behind.”

Then, Zhu Zhan’an continued,”So……The deification of Confucius by his father is actually similar to the reform of the imperial examination system.”

“Taking Confucius as the literary star, letting him completely deny the affairs of the Kong family, and then letting him correct the current Confucianism, it must be very effective.”

Zhu Di kept nodding, and then asked:”But what if the scholars don’t believe it?”

“That depends on the father’s method…….”Zhu Zhan’an pondered and said,”If I’m not mistaken, my father’s method must be more than just letting Confucius deal with the Yanshenggong Mansion.”

Zhu Youjian was feeling guilty and heard this, 5.5 was surprised and said,”Is there a follow-up?”

“There will indeed be a sequel.” Zhu Gaoxun nodded and said,”Not only am I planning to deify Confucius, I am also planning to make all the other philosophers and schools of thought reappear in the world!”

“Since their reincarnation in Hades, their true spirits have actually been wandering in various parallel time and space, and they must have known a lot about the future.”

“I will then impart the knowledge of the Tiancheng Dynasty to them, let them recruit former disciples on their own, and then carry out universal education with the various dynasties of the Ming Dynasty!”

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di took a deep breath.

And Zhu Youjian was completely confused, can it be played like this!?

Regardless of everyone’s shock, Zhu Gaoxun continued:”The so-called governing a country does not depend on what family it is, as long as it can make the nation progress! Only then is he a good scholar!”

“Confucianism has been the only dominant school in all dynasties for many years. This situation must be changed in the Ming Dynasty!”

“Therefore, the subsequent Conferred Gods actually dealt with not just the Chongzhen dynasty alone, but the five dynasties including the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties together!”

“As for the dynasties that will join the chat group later, let them learn slowly, and our five dynasties will take the lead.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was already numb at this time, and was shocked by Zhu Gaoxun’s generosity.

He dared not even think about the scene where the various schools of thought learned the knowledge of the Tiancheng Dynasty and then promoted it to other dynasties.

As Zhu Gaoxun said, a good theory is one that promotes the land of China.

Now that Zhu Gaoxun has laid the foundation, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer has to worry about others trying to seize the Zhu family’s territory.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang’s horizons were completely opened, and he was looking forward to the day when Zhu Gaoxun would show his skills.

Zhu Di was shocked for a while, and asked Zhu Gaoxun the question he had always been curious about:”Gaoxun, if your time is up, will you also be deified?”

In the minds of Zhu Di and others, even if Zhu Gaoxun had magical powers, that was a group mission reward, and he couldn’t be immortal, right? However

, Zhu Gaoxun’s answer made everyone at the scene drop their jaws..
