Chapter 51 Believe in the wisdom of later generations!
"Title?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "We in the Ming Dynasty do not need these so-called titles, they are only for the perished dynasties."
"We established The Ming Dynasty is destined to last forever."
Zhu Yuanzhang regained his confidence.
His expectation for the Ming Dynasty was not to become one of those subjugated dynasties, but to become a country for the ages, or even a country for eternity.
Xia Zhibai smiled and said: "As the founder of the country, your majesty is naturally full of confidence in the new Ming Dynasty. But if you want the Ming Dynasty to last forever, it is not enough to rely on the monarch's self-confidence. You must also Rely on the reasonable governance of the world. "
"Mencius, whom Your Majesty dislikes the most, once said that if you are unable to control your country, you will be invincible and your country will be destroyed."
"Born in sorrow and dying in happiness!"
"Based on His Majesty's current governance of the world, his requirements for the world, and his plans for the future of the Ming Dynasty, the common people dare to give the title Ming An."
< br>
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
But he didn't stop him. He was just curious about what Xia Zhibai would call Daming.
A beautiful posthumous title or a bad posthumous title.
Zhu Biao also looked over with a curious look on his face.
Xia Zhibai's words this time were even more intense than last time, and they were full of rebellion and even rebellion.
He was also curious about what kind of posthumous title the Ming Dynasty in Xia Zhibai's eyes could have.
"Gang!"
Hearing this word, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes changed slightly, showing a somewhat unpredictable look.
He touched the gray beard on his chin, slapped his mouth, and whispered "Gang" in his mouth. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't feel disgusted.
Strength, firmness.
Strong and strong
This is a beautiful posthumous title.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said calmly: "We don't like this word, but our Ming Dynasty does fit the word "rigor". We relied on our iron bones to drive away the Mongols. We have nothing to do with it. Corrupt officials are always upright. "
"If our descendants can be so upright, tough and resolute, then our Ming Dynasty will be stable and there will be no more problems."< br>
Xia Zhibai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Under your system, the descendants of your Zhu family will not be able to be tough even if they want to."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He didn't understand the meaning of Xia Zhibai's words.
Xia Zhibai did not hide anything, and explained directly: "Your Majesty regards the family as the world, and only wants future generations to be the guardians of the family. Under such circumstances, how can he not be upright?"
“Because they have no choice!”
“You didn’t give them any other choice.”
“Since the Qin Dynasty, when the civil and military arts of all dynasties were at their peak, there have been some A domineering declaration.”
"The Zhou Dynasty is: in the whole world, is it the king's land, and on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers."
"The Qin Dynasty is: the brave old Qin, who fought against the national calamity together, never shed blood, and vowed not to fight a truce . ”
“The Han Dynasty is like this: Wherever the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers go, it is Han territory. Anyone who attacks the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away it is.”
“The Jin Dynasty is like this. : To pacify all nations, to calm the four directions, to open up the obscurity of the nine realms, to determine the great achievements of thousands of years, to connect the previous kings who have not yet been united."
"The Sui Dynasty is: the barbarians in the four directions, Anyone who dares to violate this rule will have his country destroyed, his species destroyed, and his descendants exterminated.”
"The Tang Dynasty said: All barbarians inside and outside who dare to call themselves soldiers will be killed!"
"Even in the Song Dynasty, I will destroy my country and destroy my species. I swear not to stand with the thieves. How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside me?" "
"What about Daming?"
Xia Zhibai stared at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak.
Xia Zhibai said: "Under the system designed by your Majesty, under your majesty's careful arrangements, and even under the ancestral laws promulgated by your majesty."
"I have arranged a few words for the Ming Dynasty."
< br>"One sentence is: The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, and the Ming Dynasty will always be there."
"The other sentence is: If there is no marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor will guard the gate of the country, and the king will die in the country. "
"Compared with the declarations of other dynasties, these slogans of the Ming Dynasty are indeed weak, lack domineering, and appear to be lacking in confidence. "
"Your Majesty's Ming Dynasty, is it really upright?" "Or do you have to be upright?"
Xia Zhibai chuckled lightly, with a bit of contempt and coldness in the corner of his mouth, and continued: "This is the eternal foundation laid by your Majesty for the Ming Dynasty."
"Aggrieved."
"If the Ming Dynasty can be like other dynasties, actively forge ahead and take the country as the foundation and the people as the foundation, it will be When you advance, you can attack, and when you retreat, you can defend. Isn’t it more sustainable than being a tortoise? ”
"Does Your Majesty still think this 'Gang' is a beautiful posthumous title?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
Xia Zhibai was heartbroken, and his face was extremely ugly.
Gang is definitely not a good word.
It’s just not bad.
From Xia Zhibai's words, he felt the frustration and helplessness of the Ming Dynasty in the future. He could only guard the three-quarter acre of land, unable to retreat or advance, and could only cling to it blindly.
No room for flexibility.
A feeling of helplessness also came over me.
This reminded Zhu Yuanzhang of some bad memories. He was farming the land separately, but he was constantly troubled by the gangsters and corrupt officials around him.
Feeling frustrated and helpless.
Just to keep that little harvest.
Will his future be like this in the future?
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
No.
Impossible.
How could his Ming become like this?
He chose to rebel because he couldn't stand the aggrievement back then. Now that he has become the emperor, if his descendants will continue to be so aggrieved in the future, won't he become the emperor in vain?
But when you think about these things you have planned for the Ming Dynasty, don’t you ask your descendants to be honest people who do their duty?
It would be fine if there are no enemies around, but if there are enemies, the various systems you have established will become constraints and shackles for future generations.
Think of this.
An idea came to Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. While he was still alive, he must destroy Bei Yuan and get rid of the troubles in his heart forever.
But what if it is not removed.
Zhu Yuanzhang became confused.
Unprecedented confusion and uneasiness surged into my heart. The emperor who once swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger finally showed his anxiety and confusion.
He couldn't think of a solution for a moment.
But if adjustments are made to the existing system, it will become too much, and many of his arrangements for the permanent establishment of the Ming Dynasty will be abandoned.
This is unacceptable to him.
Xia Zhibai said: "Your Majesty, now you know how naive and whimsical your stubbornness is."
"It is impossible for people to plan for their posthumous affairs for too long. ”
“Every generation has its own affairs.”
"Only by continuous self-improvement and continuous improvement can the world have a future and the Ming Dynasty be truly long-lasting."
"Country and country."
"First there is a country, then there is a family."
"If the country is poor and weak, can the family be safe for a long time?"
"And Your Majesty, you are too unsure of your descendants. Of course, you have come from a rough life to the world you are today. ”
"You are proud enough."
"You are also enough for future generations to look up to."
"But your descendants have a much higher starting point than you. Their knowledge and ideas were at that time In this era, it is far better, more thoughtful, and more comprehensive than you think.”
“Believe in the abilities of future generations!”
