Chapter 189 The brilliance of the bad man!
Zhu Biao stood up angrily, waved his sleeves and said angrily: "That's nonsense."
"The situation in the world is ever-changing. How can it be seen by walking in northern Xinjiang for nine months? What's more, the situation in northern Xinjiang is ever-changing. Xinjiang has been far away from China for too long and has long been separated from the world. Using the situation seen in northern Xinjiang to deduce the future trend of the Ming Dynasty is really putting the cart before the horse."
Zhu Biao looked at it coldly. Xia Zhibai said indifferently: "If you don't see the whole picture, you won't comment."
"You really don't understand such a simple truth?"
"I think you did it on purpose!"
Looking at Zhu Biao's angry face, Xia Zhibai shook his head calmly.
He said calmly: "The general trend of the world is overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. This is the inevitable trend of the world. Today's Ming Dynasty was built according to the destiny of heaven, and it will surely suffer from the loss of destiny. It is a clear sign of history that no one can stop it.”
“Your Highness’s anger is actually the same as His Majesty’s anger.”
“You all want to conquer the Ming Dynasty. Tens of thousands of years.”
"But are there ten thousand-year dynasties in the world?"
"No."
"Since the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties have died within three hundred years of life. No matter how good the system is, no matter how good the world is, Under the erosion of time, everything will become riddled with holes and become vulnerable, and Ming Dynasty will be no exception."
"History will go backwards."
"But not. Maybe it’s really back to square one.”
"Because the emperor in charge will not agree, and the subjects below will not allow it."
"The more retrogression, the more the bottom class will be exploited, and their resentment will become heavier."< br>
“The land of China, from the moment when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, ‘Princes, generals, ministers, it’s better to have a species’, it was destined to never go back. It was like a wave, with ups and downs, but it would still roll in the end. Move forward."
"Because it is the people at the bottom who are driving all this."
"The people at the bottom are indeed the stupidest, most short-sighted, and even the most snobbish in the eyes of the upper class, but these people. They are also the smartest, they know very clearly what they want, and what they pursue is that their lives will get better.”
"Throughout history."
"From ancient times, the Chinese were divided into savages."
"The ones in the back were slaves."
"And then to the head of Guizhou."
“Step by step, even if His Highness doesn’t want to admit it, he has to admit that the social status of the people at the bottom is improving. They are qualified to obtain fields, master skills, and make ordinary people angry.”
>
"These improvements in social status are not obtained out of thin air."
"This is obtained by countless people at the bottom who have worked hard and paid a lot of blood for this."
"This is the result of 'Princes' "Generals and ministers, I would rather have the kind", it is "the incense array reaching the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the city is covered with golden armor", it is "the inner treasury is burned to ashes, and the bones of the princes are trampled in the sky streets", it is "killing millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River" , the sword on his waist is still bloody!”
Zhu Biao’s face changed.
Looking at Xia Zhibai, his eyes were full of anger.
Xia Zhibai's eyes were solemn, with a bit of seriousness in his eyes, and he added: "I am indeed blind, but I can add another blessing to Your Majesty."
"The red flag rolled up the serf's halberd, and the black hand "Hang the overlord's whip high."
"I dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky for the sake of sacrifice."
"Xia Zhibai!" These three words squeezed out from the gap.
Xia Zhibai stood up without any concession in his eyes. He looked directly at Zhu Biao and said calmly: "Expelling the Tartars and bridging the north and the south are indeed the achievements of the Ming Dynasty, but this It cannot be the only achievement of Ming Dynasty. Now that Ming Dynasty has secured the world, it should understand that the world must start over. ”
"Wear new shoes and follow the old path."
"This old-fashioned way has been experienced too much in the world."
"There is no person in the world who lives forever, let alone one who will last forever. Empire."
"Everyone will die!"
"If you pursue the so-called eternal life, you are destined to go further and further. And do you really think that your Majesty can always be so strong? Can you always be so domineering?”
"Do you still remember what I said when I first met Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is old."
"As an emperor who started from among the people, Your Majesty knows better than anyone else that once a person gets old, What kind of encounter will he face, the heirs will fight for the family property, and the servants below will also have evil intentions, and his words will become less and less effective."
"This is not an alarmist."
< br>“This is a fact.”
"Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty is so eager to train you? He wants to push you to the front and let you control most of the court, just to make your transition smooth, but His Majesty is too optimistic after all."
“One emperor and one courtier.”
“The attitude of the officials towards His Majesty is inherently different from the attitude towards His Highness.”
“You can’t be perfect either. Replace Your Majesty."
"You should know better."
"There is only one Hongwu Emperor in the world, and there will only be one Hongwu Emperor."
"No one else can catch up with him."
"Do you really think that as the current prince, you can use most of your powers? The power of the emperor is already equivalent to that of half an emperor. When he comes to power in the future, he will be able to take over very smoothly? "
"Because the ministers you trust are not the same as those your Majesty trusts."
"No one wants to lose power." "Your Highness, you can look back slowly. Your Majesty will make compromises for the successor and for the stability of the world. Of course, you will continue to kill people because your Majesty is worried that you will not be able to control the world." , I want to pull out those thorns for you.”
“It’s just that your Majesty has read so many books, but has been deliberately ignoring one thing.”
"The biggest corruption in the world has always been the corruption of power."
"Corruption is destined to be inevitable."
"The corruption in the Ming Dynasty cannot be solved from its roots!"
"The harder we suppress it, the more powerful it will be when it finally breaks out."
"In this case of Guo Huan, His Highness should I have read some files and I know that the situation of corruption in the officialdom is basically those who rely on the people who support them."
"The arresters regard catching thieves as their 'foreign government', and those who collect food regard grain as their 'foreign government'." , the Qing army regarded the army as the "foreign government", and above the assistant and second-level officials, they could openly and honestly create some "penalty valleys", "Xianyu" and the like. As for the officials, there were even more. "
"There are offerings on New Year's Eve, and congratulations on birthdays. We gather unexpectedly and come towards each other. The number of ordinary sets is not enough to offer celery, but the rare ones from outside are enough to be cunning. ”
"Does this sound familiar to Your Highness?"
Zhu Biao's face sank.
Xia Zhibai stood with his hands behind his hands and continued: "Your Highness should all know, then I will tell you what Your Highness doesn't know."
"Scholar!"
“The extra income of scholars is richer than His Highness imagined.”
"Please entrust people to engage in private activities and destroy unprofitable things; take over the money and food, and hide the servants; ask famous officials and local sages to take charge of the food for the day and the food for the village;" Supervise the superintendent; first enter the school to protect the introduction, pay tribute and praise; win over relatives and submit letters and offer poems;"
"Take away the students and extort the disciples; dominate the school fields, occupy the fields and abandon them; lend money and collect money; Renting, collecting interest; raising tributes in the imperial court, arguing over money;"
"Wearing clothes and scarves, he is a beggar, waiting for alms; carrying a scale and a bucket, he is a charlatan without hesitation. Husband, I am in Lijia, and I am selling my cards. I am sitting on the shop floor, gambling to win money."
Zhu Biao's face changed slightly.
He was also shocked by what Xia Zhibai said about the scholars' corrupt methods.
“Are the scholars of the Ming Dynasty really so vicious?” Zhu Biao was a little unbelievable.
Xia Zhibai sneered and said: "Does Your Highness think these people will be ashamed? Will they be ashamed of this long gown?"
"I can tell Your Highness clearly."
< br>“No.”
"The other party is so proud, why should he be ashamed to say so?!"
"People in the world are mediocre, and studying is not just for free."
"The purpose has always been 'unprofitable'!"
"No matter how many people your Majesty kills, can you kill all these scholars? Can your Majesty really not use these scholars? The noble clothes of the scholars in the past have long been torn clean by the gentry below. , only your Majesty still treats it like a treasure, trying to convince the scholars to change their minds by reasoning. "
"This is the real self-deception."
"No matter how much trouble your Majesty makes today, he is only helping the people below to be greedy with peace of mind. Because they are gentry, they are superior to others, so they should naturally act like they are superior. But what is the price?"
"The price will ultimately fall on Your Majesty's head."
"Your Majesty always feels that using this method can make the Ming Dynasty exist longer."
"But going too far is not enough."
“It is better to clear up some things than to block them.”
"Your Majesty is so cruel that he killed all the officials in the officialdom, but he does not have the courage to make changes to the existing system."
"The biggest problem with the death of Qin and Sui Dynasty was that he was too slow. It’s too big, and I want to eat it up in one go and completely solve the problems at that time, but if we really calm down and work together across generations, we may not be able to deal with these things, just like the Han and Tang Dynasties.”
< br>“Moreover.”
“I do admire the Datong society.”
“But the current society is very far away from the Datong society.”
"And there will definitely be certain recurrences in the world, which will further lengthen the time to arrive."
"This period of time is enough for the Ming Dynasty to exist for hundreds of years or even longer."
" The Ming Dynasty has only been in existence for nineteen years, and your Majesty is beginning to worry about what will happen hundreds of years later. It is really ridiculous."
"It is really unfounded."
Xia Zhi. Bai shook his head.
Landlord Zhu Yuanzhang was too thoughtful.
It makes people dumbfounded.
Zhu Biao's eyes were cloudy and uncertain. He looked deeply at Xia Zhibai. After being silent for a long time, he picked up the tea in his hand and took a few sips. The tea was already a little cold. After drinking it, even Still a little chilly.
Zhu Biao looked at Xia Zhibai and said in a deep voice: "What kind of Dali do you want?"
Xia Zhibai smiled and said unhurriedly: " It is necessary to destroy the noble luster of the 'scholar' class in the past era, let them show their true colors in front of the people, and then make the world more and more institutionalized and regularized. "
"Since the Song Dynasty, the threshold for reading and literacy has further dropped, but it is not enough. We must continue to break the gentry's control of knowledge!"
"We must break away from the old thoughts, customs, habits and culture."
