Chapter 307 The problem with the river is not in the water, but in the source!
Winter has entered.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
It is not snowing in Yingtianfu at the moment, but the cold is getting heavier day by day.
Some ice edges that had just melted into ice hung down from the eaves of the palace, running long and sharp as swords.
Wuying Palace.
Looking at the eaves with small ice skating on them, Pu Gouer was nervous, but he did not dare to disturb Zhu Biao. He only asked the eunuch who was preparing to knock the icing skating aside to move aside. He did not dare to let these The eunuch disturbed His Highness, and he did not dare to disturb the monarchs and ministers in the palace.
Inside the palace.
The room is as warm as a stove, and a tripod-legged copper basin carved with dragons and animals is placed in the hall.
The entire hall is illuminated red and bright.
An old man in the hall closed his eyes slightly and leaned against the cushion behind him. He was wrapped in a thick animal robe. In front of the old man, stood a young man, probably in his early twenties, with a bit of solemnity and calmness in his eyes. .
"Your Majesty, don't you think so?" the young man said calmly.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not read Xia Zhibai, but picked up a memorial and was unwilling to pay too much attention to it.
The results were so hurtful.
There are no boundless people in the world, and there is no empire that lasts forever.
Everything he had carefully arranged turned into a joke in the mouth of the young man in front of him.
I also exposed them one by one for the young man in front of me, and even exposed them openly.
Is there any?
No.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very sure.
He is not the first emperor in the world, nor will he be the last. There have been hundreds of emperors throughout the ages, including emperors Qin, Han, Wu, Han, Sui, and Tang. Didn’t they ever think about letting their own empire be passed down forever?
I must have thought about it.
But it was founded like Qin, but it died after only two generations.
As powerful as the Han Dynasty, it was difficult to succeed in three generations. As for the Tang Dynasty, it even collapsed in the middle.
He never thought that he was defeated by the ancient emperors. He even always believed that he was stronger than these people, and much stronger. However, if he wanted to continue the empire he established for a long time, it would not rely on the great deeds of one person. If you can do it, there will be unforeseen circumstances, and people will have misfortunes and misfortunes.
A hundred years later, they will all return to dust.
For a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little cold. He tightened the animal robe tightly, but it still wasn't enough. He said outside the palace: "Cold, give us some more fire."
After that.
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes again.
He suddenly understood what Xia Zhibai said a long time ago.
He is only the executor of history, not the creator of history.
With the level of corruption in the Yuan Dynasty, the world is destined to be in chaos. The one who just raises his arms may not be himself. It doesn't even matter whether he is Zhu Yuanzhang. The collapse of the Yuan Dynasty is the most important. Who can let him die? , who is 'Zhu Yuanzhang'.
He just took advantage of the situation and became the ‘Emperor’!
At this time.
Zhu Biao came in.
He held some charcoal in his hand, and then added it gently, but this time he did not withdraw, and continued to stand in the hall. Zhu Yuanzhang did not seem to notice that Zhu Biao stayed. Still immersed in his own thoughts.
"Times create heroes. Our heroes are actually puppets of God."
"Is that what you mean?!"
Xia Zhibai nodded, He shook his head again and said: "Your Majesty just forgot where he came from."
"Heroes are also common people."
"Your Majesty's literary, Taoist and military strategies are known to the world." "And the system created by Your Majesty, in my opinion, is backward and practical, and to a large extent, even if Your Majesty's descendants are all a bunch of imbecile and perverse people, but they can still hold the throne."
"But time is fair."
"Under the temper of time, everything your Majesty created will eventually become riddled with holes and lose its final control and binding force. From the perspective of the Zhu family's business, your Majesty's approach is undoubtedly successful, at least in a real way. It can benefit generations, but from a Chinese perspective.”
"Your Majesty is undoubtedly a loser."
"The Mongols are barbarians, so the world has regressed."
"Your Majesty is also a Han, but your Majesty gave up the world for the sake of a small family. It will lead to a greater degree of regression in the world."
"In my opinion, after more than a thousand years of development in China, by the Song Dynasty, the old small-scale peasant economic foundation had actually been loosened, and the economic structure had been weakened. It is becoming more open, the political functions are becoming more and more perfect, the financial system is also becoming more rational, and the world is gradually developing in a more reasonable direction."
"It's just that your Majesty is too attached to the small family and values too much of his own family. He then arbitrarily killed the process, and used your Majesty’s unique small farmer thinking and unusual conservative stubbornness to lead China into an ultra-stable and ultra-inefficient society.”
< br>
"Then the whole world has completely returned to a small peasant society."
"China has also turned from outward-looking to inward-looking."
"From openness to convergence."
"But I I never think this is His Majesty’s problem.”
“Because from the beginning to the end, His Majesty is only the executor of history, not the creator.”
"Even judging from the current situation, in the contest with the years, Your Majesty is destined to fail, and the system created by Your Majesty is also destined to lose control and binding force. However, in the process of the collapse of the system created by Your Majesty, the world has There is no turning point, which can only be explained by one reason."
"There is something wrong with the heirs of the empire."
"They have been tamed into obedient sheep and lost their own. Judgment and cognition. "
"Therefore, no one from the court to the common people in the Ming Dynasty had the slightest intention to turn, because there was no room for change."
"The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were better than the Ming Dynasty. The prince knows himself better."
Zhu Biao was stunned.
He stood there blankly.
My eyes were full of confusion and confusion.
Do Ming’s ministers understand themselves better than themselves?
How is this possible?
But when he thought that he had been going smoothly for the past thirty years, with few setbacks, and even few troubles with his ministers, he couldn't help but staggered. This was not because of nothing, but because the ministers of the Ming Dynasty chose to follow him. .
Manchao Dushun.
Then it means that you have seen through yourself?
“In this world, it is difficult to be a ‘treacherous official’. The so-called ‘treacherous’ is just to welcome the ‘superior’.”
“What is good for the superior will be followed by the inferior. ”
"How many of the ministers who can come in and out of the court are really ignorant? How many of them are truly talentless? What if they are ignorant and can please their superiors with just their words? Maybe?"
"They are just using their own words to express the thoughts of 'higher people'."
Xia Zhibai shook his head.
“The various aspects of the Ming Dynasty’s court today are actually just a microcosm of His Majesty.”
“It is impossible to kill them all.”
“You can’t stop it even if you stop it.”
“Just like a river, a severe drought or flood directly manifests itself as an increase or decrease in water volume, but the root cause is definitely not in the river.”
“ But at the source! ! ”
“So your Majesty’s attempt to make the world righteous by relying on some systems and preaching is simply fanciful and impossible to achieve. I also advise your Majesty not to do so. It is far more practical to focus on these useless things and do more effective things than to make these frivolous things.”
