Chapter 11 Zhu Biao’s magnanimity!
Zhu Biao stood up suddenly, his face red with anger, and his eyes showed a trace of uneasiness and nervousness that he had not seen for a long time, as if he was really angered and slandered by these words.
Zhao Hao and other officials looked at each other, with a hint of panic and a faint daze in their eyes. They all lowered their heads and did not speak again. In the current situation, they were not in a position to speak.
Any words that fall into Zhu Biao's ears may add fuel to the fire, or turn into criticizing Huai. They have been in the court for many years and are well versed in the ways of being an official, so they dare not Personal risk.
But they have to admit it.
Some of the things said in this "anti-article" do have some truth. Compared with other dynasties, the Ming Dynasty was indeed too strict and rigid at the beginning of its founding.
No changes.
It is entirely up to His Majesty’s idea.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty stopped holding imperial examinations was not only because the scholars selected were of mixed quality and unfit for practical use, but the bigger reason was that these scholars did not identify with the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many scholars in the world held a wait-and-see attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, were suspicious and even hostile and uncooperative. Many scholars were not willing to serve as officials at all.
Find out the reason.
Because of His Majesty's attitude towards the imperial examination system and scholar-bureaucrats, none of the Confucian scholars in the world can get real closeness and sincere trust from Your Majesty.
And this may be exactly what this article says.
It is related to His Majesty’s origin.
His Majesty's desire for talented people has been revealed very early. When he was the Duke of Wu and the King of Wu, he announced that "I would like to follow the ancient system and set up two subjects of literature and martial arts to seek knowledge from all over the world." Xian. ’
However, the talented people who were sought could not be put to full use, nor could they really be used as highly as the edict stated. Instead, they were picked on in every possible way.
His Majesty has repeatedly accused these officials of being unable to achieve the "responsibility for truth and seeking talents" that His Majesty wanted, saying that "the officials have gained too many young people" and are not practical and cannot "act according to what they have learned".
Your Majesty does have a strong desire to seek talents to govern the country, but the so-called talents you want to govern the country are just to let these people do things according to your Majesty's ideas.
You cannot have your own thoughts and thoughts.
Only let him be his slave!
This is really like a farmer, who really wants help from others, but is also very worried that others will care about his things, so he is always very wary and wary.
If you are even slightly dissatisfied, you will rudely use force to suppress them as a deterrent to prevent thieves from employing people. How can you make people feel at ease?
Zhu Biao looked coldly at the officials below and said coldly: "Do you also agree with these words?"
Li Shanchang cupped his hands and said: "Back to Your Highness, I only heard the words addressed to Your Majesty. Slander, such rebellious remarks should be killed!"
Li Shanchang looked angry, as if he was really fighting against Zhu Yuanzhang and was filled with righteous indignation.
Zhu Biao glanced at Li Shanchang coldly, and then at the silent officials below, his face extremely gloomy.
How could he not see that these officials clearly agreed with these words and truly believed that some of His Majesty's decisions today were wrong.
It’s just that he is confused. Since the officials have different opinions on some of His Majesty’s decisions, why don’t they dare to speak out?
Li Shanchang was full of anxiety.
I don’t know whether I should continue reading or not.
He just looked at Zhu Biao sincerely, trying to get Zhu Biao to make an idea.
Zhu Biao’s expression changed again and again.
Eventually.
A touch of blood returned to his thin cheeks, and he also regained his usual calmness. He said lightly: "Continue reading."
"I also want to hear, in these chaos What are the shortcomings of my Ming Dynasty? And Gu never thinks that Ming Dynasty is perfect.”
"If you make a mistake, correct it; if you don't, please encourage me."
"This is also Gu's attitude all along."
"Read it."
Zhu Biao showed his true identity In order to show the magnanimity and open-mindedness that a prince should have, he also completely changed his mind and no longer regarded this article as just a counter-article.
But it is regarded as a remonstrance. Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment and continued: "How could Emperor Hongwu be so harsh on the officials who work for him? Let alone the people? In the end, he just pretended to love the people and abused them."
“There is no love for the people, no act of love for the people, and the world is private.”
“From this point of view, we know that we will gain from the peasant uprising, but we are destined to lose from the peasant uprising. It's just a bowl at the beginning, in exchange for the stiffness of the body at the end."
"Governing the country the same way as a family will only get worse and worse, and become more and more cruel and unkind, because of 'disobedience'. 'There will only be more and more subjects."
"In this repressive environment, just teaching the subjects to blindly obey and blindly follow the so-called ancestral laws will only ultimately bring down the world. Into the endless abyss of darkness.”
"The people are in dire straits!"
"Why did Emperor Hongwu pay so much attention to the people that he never left the people even in a few words? It was not that he really showed mercy to the people, but that he only understood the people."
< br>"Perhaps on the road to unifying the world, Emperor Hongwu learned a lot about strategy and military affairs, but his exposure to the specific six Confucian arts was incomplete."
"Scholars, peasants, industry, merchants, and soldiers only knew about peasants and soldiers. ”
“Because I understand agriculture, I focus on agriculture-related matters the most, but for other things, I can only continue the old system.”
“Many times it’s not that I don’t want to change, but I don’t know, I don’t dare, and I’m afraid of being cheated.”
“I’m even more worried about being deceived by ministers.”
“Because of my background. , Emperor Hongwu was full of hostility towards other social classes, thinking that they had evil intentions, and always regarded them with the greatest malice. This is actually not a big problem. "
"But it is different for you."< br>
“Don’t trust people when you employ them, and don’t use people when you are suspicious.”
"It is more important to weigh the court and put the world as the most important thing."
"It is not just farmers and people."
"The bustling world is all about profit and change, and most people in the world have no profit and cannot afford to go early. ."
"It's either for fame or profit."
"The final decision is always in the hands of those in power."
"However, Emperor Hongwu didn't even give him a chance to make a choice. He only regarded hundreds of officials as his long-term workers and all the people as his slaves. He wanted to be driven by him from generation to generation."
"If this continues, the world will only be filled with flattery and bullying. If the situation is lower, the situation of officials' laziness and mediocrity will further spread."
"Because if you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes."
"It is better to do nothing. ."
"Why bother yourself?"
"Because of this, more than ten years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to re-establishing the order of the world, contradictions in various parts of the world are still rife, interests are uneven, the future is unclear, and people's hearts are uncertain."
"Especially Emperor Hongwu liked to use power in the form of power. , treat the people of the world rudely, under such circumstances, everyone is in danger, and the situation is precarious. How can the Ming Dynasty really make great progress?"
"There are these sentences in "Guo Qin Lun" written by Jia Yi? Words."
"Practice Huahua City, because the river is a pond, and the city is hundreds of millions of feet long, and it is considered solid in the face of an unexpected abyss."
"A good general guards the key points with confidence. The world has been settled, and the First Emperor believes that the Guanzhong is solid, and the golden city is thousands of miles away, and the inheritance of descendants and emperors will last forever."
"What are the similarities and differences between this and the Ming Dynasty?"
"How can we get a good ending if one person decides the affairs of the world?"
"It's just repeating that the people of Qin had no time to mourn themselves. , and future generations will mourn it; and future generations will grieve and ignore it, which will also make future generations mourn again."
"Nothing can be done."
