"Bi Qing's remarks, it is understandable, it is not a deviant statement, it is also true, the people of my Han family have been poor for thousands of years, and now they have a good chance to live, they don't dare to be extravagant, and they have to play some tricks to force them!"
After Zhu Youxiao learned about Bi Ziyan's next governing philosophy, he talked about it with Xiong Tingbi, the adviser to Yiguo Gong, who was still alive in Beijing.And Xiong Tingbi smiled because of this: "Zi said, thrifty and love people, and my China has been influenced by the teachings of this sage for thousands of years, naturally I am used to being diligent and thrifty, ashamed of arrogance and lasciviousness, Rao is old minister is now thanks to the emperor's grace, rich and glorious, but still only like frugal identity, now if you want to change, the entire sage doctrine has to be changed." ”"Naturally, times are different!
The sentence you just said, there is a sentence behind the use of the people, anyway, the general meaning is to rest with the people, saving is for the people to have surplus wealth, but now, the Ming Dynasty has abolished the forced labor, do not serve the people, so there is no such thing as labor, now it is necessary to encourage consumption, who let me Ming is now business-oriented. ”Zhu Youxiao replied, and said: "Now it seems that it is possible for my Ming people to realize that everyone is rich. ”"It is possible, but it is not evenly rich, and even the embarrassed will not disappear absolutely, and there is a difference between industriousness and laziness after all."
Xiong Tingbi replied."
That's right!
Anyway, in terms of civil affairs, how can the people of the Han family live a more prosperous life, and let the Bi Qing family do it, what I care more about now is the long-term strategy of the Ming Dynasty!
Plan ahead and think about where the crisis is if there is a crisis of social collapse in the future!
What other chronic diseases do we have within us that need to be eliminated?
”Zhu Youxiao looked at the colorful sky in front of him as he spoke, and thought deeply.Xiong Tingbi also thought deeply like him.After a while, Xiong Tingbi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, how will the Ming Dynasty go in the future, it is not possible to rely on the old ministers, and you have to listen to how the younger generations see it, because the life of the old ministers and others in the first half of their lives is based on agriculture, and what they have learned and seen is limited, and I never thought that there can be four or five out of ten people in the world who can live without the land, and even have a rich family, if it is not for the ministers to see it with their own eyes, even if Xiao He Zhuge and other capable ministers are alive, the ministers do not believe that they can do it." ”"Juniors?"
Zhu Youxiao asked, then smiled, and said: "The younger generations are now incompatible, you don't know, Xi Shiwen represented by Guozijian, the scholars who study Confucianism, and the scholars who study Xi Xin-style education represented by the Royal Academy, often quarrel and fight, and the group fights outside the Xuezheng Yamen that happened before, you should have an impression, in addition, even the scholars inside the Guozijian or the Royal Academy are not unified enough in many aspects. ”Saying that, Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's take one step at a time, the younger generations do not yet have a unified consciousness, and they lack the great Confucianism of the new era, but can lead them, the key now is to take advantage of the fact that our people are still there, to remove the remnants that are not conducive to the long-term stability of the society, and to abolish the outdated old system." ”Xiong Tingbi Ting Zhu Youxiao said so, nodded frequently, and said: "Speaking of this, the old minister remembered a thing about clan power, Xinbin Wang Hou, and the coffin returned to his hometown was not allowed by his clan to be buried in the ancestral land, saying that he had been expelled from the Yuan clan from the family tree, therefore, Xinbin King had to be buried elsewhere, his grandson Yuan Shu wanted to play this matter, but was stopped by him, saying that if the scholars and doctors no longer abide by the clan rights, the clan rights will die, this is the only power that can show respect and humility today, and it can't really be below the king, all beings are equal. ”"But in essence, the clan power has not been recognized by the imperial power and constitution at all, whether King Xinbin can be buried in the ancestral land, whether he can be expelled from the family tree, it should be decided by me!"
Zhu Youxiao's expression became serious, and he continued: "I, the future scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing to dare to confront is their clan, only such scholars can govern the world for the king, and they are worthy of being members of the court, otherwise, they will not be able to confront the reactionaries who restrict the lasting prosperity of the empire." ”Zhu Youxiao said, and said to Xiong Tingbi: "You send a letter to Yuan Shu and ask him, whether he obeys the paternal authority derived from the clan power, or is he willing to dare to question whether the clan power is in line with the imperial constitution according to his conscience and feelings for his grandfather, if he chooses the latter, let him immediately go to the impeachment of his father and his family, I hope that he can become the person who dares to confront his own family with his conscience and the imperial constitution since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, if he chooses the former......
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "Then let him go!"
I will not lack scholars with independent personalities in the future!
”"Yes!"
Soon after, Yuan Shu received a letter from Xiong Tingbi.This made it very difficult for Yuan Shu to choose.From the patriarchy of clan power, it is because of human feelings, and I want my grandfather to return to the Yuan family tree and be buried in the ancestral land, also because of human feelings.Therefore, no matter which side of betrayal, it is a betrayal of human feelings.And whether the clan power is in line with the imperial constitution made Yuan Shu fall into contemplation in terms of reason.In the end, Yuan Shu thought about it and believed that the ethics and morality advocated by Confucianism were only a kind of moral constraint, and could not be regarded as a kind of power to control people, and that all real power could only come from His Majesty the Ming Emperor, who had a heavenly constitution in his mouth."
Father is wrong, he, and the clansmen of the other houses of the Yuan family have no right to decide whether their grandfather is qualified to be buried in the ancestral land, and the clan rights they exercise are violating the laws of the emperor and the country!"
Yuan Shu thought about this, and finally put on a script to impeach his father and the Yuan clan."
Crazy!
This Yuan Shu is crazy!
What is the difference between him and rebellion, and he actually participated in the impeachment of his father and his own clan, which is simply a great rebellion!
Not filial piety!
”Wen Zhenmeng, a scholar of the Cabinet University, was shocked on the spot after seeing Yuan Shu's recital, he never thought that one day, someone would go to the book to impeach his father and impeach his clan!
Wen Tiren, who is also a member of the cabinet, couldn't help but laugh and said: "The longer you live, the more new things you will see, this thing, the public now feels incredible, but after a few years, you won't feel anything, although Yuan Shu is not polite to do this, but it is legal, what is revealed in this is that the Ming Dynasty should govern the country with etiquette, or when the country should be ruled by law, if you follow etiquette, it is naturally a big rebellion!"
If the law is followed, it is a loyal and upright word, and the power that is not allowed by the imperial constitution is an illegal power. ”"Is it better to govern the country with courtesy, or to rule the country by law?"
Zhang Zhifa, another cabinet scholar, asked."
Ceremony!""
Law!"
Wen Tiren and Wen Zhenmeng replied almost in unison."
If you don't follow etiquette, then the law doesn't exist!
Since ancient times, the country has been governed according to the Zhou rites, how can it be abolished today, if it is abolished, it will not be for China!
”"If you don't follow the law, your rights are unlimited!
There are also dynasties that do not follow the Zhou rites, isn't it China?
China is not a kind of national system of Zhou rites, and now the Ming Dynasty has passed the ancient dynasty, and now it is heavy on agriculture and commerce, and even the court taxes are mostly dependent on business, and it is more necessary to establish a country with faith, rather than a country with righteousness!
”The two argued almost in unison.......
"Your Majesty, the guards have come to report, and the cabinet is quarrelling!"
Zhang Ge couldn't persuade him!
”In Daming Garden, Wang Chengen hurriedly came to Zhu Youxiao to report.
