Chapter 334 Complain!
Wuying Palace.
Just after taking a nap, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched his body.
As he approaches sixty, he also feels that time is not forgiving, his body is not as strong as before, and he is becoming more and more afraid of the cold.
He covered himself with a blanket, leaned forward, and looked at the documents sent by the officials. It was already late autumn, and roads were blocked by heavy snow in many places. Normally there is much less.
He has been too lazy to take it easy lately.
After reviewing the memorial for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to notice something strange. He glanced at the empty space below suspiciously and asked: "Pu Gou'er, where is the prince? What time is it, prince?" Why haven't you come yet?"
Pu Gou'er, who was waiting outside the hall, quickly entered the hall and knelt down in the tunnel: "Go back to your Majesty, Your Majesty went to the Ancestral Temple."< br>
Pu Gouer nodded and said: "Exactly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned Xia Zhibai this morning. I don't know what they discussed. After Xia Zhibai left, His Highness went directly to the Ancestral Temple, and has been staying there ever since. Inside.”
"It's Xia Zhibai again." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and he said again: "Did the prince say anything?"
Pu Gouer shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned even more tightly.
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Well, maybe the prince misses his mother, let him stay there longer."
"Go down."
When Pu Gou'er left the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a cold look.
"Xia Zhibai, what are you doing again?"
"We turned a blind eye to the clamor in front to mobilize the army. Now we will Biao'er was forced to go to the Ancestral Temple. If something goes wrong with Biao'er, our knife is not a vegetarian."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, feeling a little irritated for no reason.
Xia Zhibai actually had some thoughts about what Xia Zhibai said before. However, if the family and the country are decided, it affects the whole body, and if it is not controlled well, it is likely to become a major event that shakes the whole country. He He could only be cautious, but he still agreed with Xia Zhibai's views on the military.
Ming Dynasty must have a solid foundation!
The army is the best way.
Compared with the hypocrisy, hypocrisy, and greed of literati, he has always preferred the straightforwardness of military men. Therefore, when Xia Zhibai mentioned strengthening control over the army so that the army could become the last line of defense to protect the Ming Dynasty, He was very supportive and approved of it.
And he himself felt that his descendants could not play tricks on those scholars, so he might as well stop playing tricks and directly control the force. Those who could not play tricks would be defeated by the scholars. If the bully reaches the head, he will be killed immediately.
Kill the one or two who come forward.
It became quiet all around.
And the army is relatively easier to control than the civilians.
Especially under Xia Zhibai's concept, the officials sent by the court instilled the idea of loyalty to the emperor, and then controlled the lifeline of the army through money and food. They also used recruitment and other methods to keep the army in circulation and avoid the collapse of the army. , so that the army always has a certain combat capability.
Even if the people at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were really in dire straits, the worst possible outcome would be to set up a trap, kill all the civil servants, and create new mountains and rivers.
This is also a way to continue the Ming Dynasty.
But he also knows.
It is very difficult to do this. At present, we still need to give priority to solving the thorny issue, which is Naha Chu who is entrenched in the northeast. Only by eliminating Naha Chu who is entrenched in the northeast can the Ming Dynasty free up enough people. Time and energy to reorganize the army.
And then realize military reform step by step.
When he sent Tang He southward, he actually wanted to get to the bottom of the Southern Guards Station. The situation was not optimistic. Corruption and oppression among officers were very serious, and there were endless cases of land occupation. The reason why he asked Zhu Biao to go After thinking about it, I also wanted Zhu Biao to try it in the south first.
If it is really feasible, then it can be extended to the whole country.
By the way. Take the opportunity to kill the arrogance of the South.
He has always been worried about the South. The influence of the South is too great in the world.
It was so big that he was a little scared.
Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his back with a tickle, but he felt uncomfortable, so he stuffed the tickle into his clothes and scratched it hard a few times, and then he felt that his back felt comfortable. At this moment , Pu Gouer's voice sounded again.
"Liu Sanwu, bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, asks to see you."
"Xuan!"
Liu Sanwu took small steps, respectfully entered the hall, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Sanwu, knelt down."
>Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Xueshi Liu, why are you so polite to us? Pingsheng Pingsheng, why do you want to come to us today? Is it because Xia Zhibai's compilation of teaching materials has caused public outrage again?"
< br>Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see Liu Sanwu's intention at a glance, and started to laugh and tease him.
Liu Sanwu's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal. He was not affected much at all, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty is aware of everything. I am here today to impeach the great scholar Xia Zhibai."
" This person is too domineering and arbitrary, and he is even more arrogant because of his high rank."
"If I just criticize the old minister, I have nothing to say."
"But Xia Zhibai is so bold. , openly opposed His Majesty's Taoist strategy, and intended to use hundreds of schools of thought such as Mohism and Taoism to replace the "Sage's School" set by Your Majesty. Such confusion of right and wrong, and confusion among those who adhere to discipline, made me panic. Not daring to show any signs of neglect, I came to report to your majesty immediately.”
“I sincerely request your majesty to remove Xia Zhibai from his position as a bachelor.”
"Abolish his right to compile books."
"To set the record straight!"
Liu Sanwu spoke uprightly.
He looked impartial and righteous, and looked like he was sworn in with evil.
Listening to Liu Sanwu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and his smiling face turned gloomy, and said in a cold voice: "What did you say? Xia Zhibai is dissatisfied with the 'Learning of Sages' we have set? Is that true? This matter? ”
Liu Sanwu said: "How dare I lie on such a big matter?"
"My Ming Dynasty 'founded the country with Neo-Confucianism', this matter is known to the world, but Xia Zhibai doesn't take it seriously, and even openly opposes it, saying Confucianism is no longer practical, and the way of the saints is even more difficult to apply to all generations."
"Your Majesty, Xia Zhibai is preparing to cause trouble."
"I ask your Majesty to rule. He committed a serious crime!"
"Otherwise, if this trend is allowed to spread, His Majesty's "Three Generations of Rules" and the Confucian rule of "benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of governing the world" may lead to the collapse of the Xia Dynasty. If Bai completely denies it, then the world's thinking will be in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty may be in danger of overthrowing."
"Your Majesty."
Liu Sanwu shouted hoarsely, with a sad look on his face.
It seems that Xia Zhibai's words have shaken the country and become the source of trouble for the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned completely gloomy.
He determined that the way of the saints should be the law of all ages. This was his decision. When he founded the country, he even told the world in public that he founded the country based on Neo-Confucianism.
As a well-read emperor, he was well aware of the importance of ideology. Therefore, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has been consciously using Confucian theory to inform the world of the legitimacy of the daimyo regime he established, and to use this to maintain the regime's legitimacy. Stablize.
Confucianism is a tool for oneself to rule the world.
