After Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he was very studious, even if he didn't study much, he still loved the same, or he still loved the same, which is also a well-known controversy. The Mohists attacked the hypocrisy of Confucianism, and the Confucians said that the Mohists were naïve...... Of course, after the death of the two families, Confucianism was divided into eight, and Moli was divided into three, and they were all divided.

The so-called Xiucai rebellion has not been successful for three years. It is basically impossible to expect a group of literati to unite and do great things for the sake of a noble mission.

Interestingly, since the Han and Tang dynasties, and especially after the great revival of the two Song dynasties, many Confucian scholars have avoided this famous Confucian-Mo controversy as if it never existed.

They talk about benevolence and righteousness, about the royal way, about the learning of sages, and about the three outlines and five constants...... Is there a difference between not wanting to talk about love?

In fact, Confucianism advocates that love is inferior, and that oneself is better than others, which is very realistic and correct.

You don't love your own children, you don't love other people's children, you don't love your own people, you don't love other people's people...... It doesn't make sense at all, if you really do this, you will only be treated as a fool, brain-dead, two hundred and five!

But the question is, if something so clear, why doesn't anyone dare to say it?

In fact, the truth is not complicated, because the Confucianists of the past dynasties, especially the science of science, have praised the Three Principles and the Five Constants to the point of no return, and have become unchangeable heavenly principles!

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are all right no matter what time it is. That's why starvation is a small thing, and a big loss of festivals.

In this case, there can be no difference between benevolence and righteousness, and it is feasible all over the world, regardless of Huayi. Even if you know that those vassal states are capricious and greedy for money and profit, you must give them rich rewards, firstly for the sake of the face of the kingdom, and secondly, for the sake of maintaining the "fairy tale world" in your heart.

Whatever doctrine it is, if it is pushed to the extreme, it is wrong...... For example, a state in the lighthouse country felt that it was unfair to the third group of people to divide public toilets into men and women, so they wanted to set up genderless public toilets...... How good, how fair, when it is launched, all parents will quit.

Damn, what are you doing with the kids? They don't understand anything, which toilet to go to? How else do we educate our children...... started from the ideal, but ended in a farce.

Therefore, people really have to be realistic, just like Confucianism, which advocates that love is bad, etc., which is a very good thing. Not only does it not need to be avoided, but it should also be vigorously promoted!

"Father...... Recently, there was a dispute over the longevity ceremony. The main reason is that some courtiers feel that they should be treated favorably by foreign vassals. Regardless of blood and money, and even against trade, the imperial court should not profit from the Siyi, but should directly give them property, so that the foreign vassals will be grateful to Dade, and from then on, they will be willing to surrender and defend the Quartet for the Ming Dynasty......"

"Fart!"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly burst into foul language, "According to what they say, what are I still doing with millions of soldiers on the nine sides?" As long as I give money and things, all barbarians will be honest, it's just a bad brain! Let me pay for it, why don't they take out the family property and give it to the barbarians first, so that I can see if it has any effect? ”

Lao Zhu scolded for a while, rubbed his hands again, and suddenly said, "Shouldn't I have raided the homes of these people and entertained foreign vassals with their property?" ”

Zhu Biao was so frightened that his face changed color, his father definitely did what he said, just because of such a small thing, it was too much to raid his house and cut off his head.

"Father, the holy life is imminent, and I also ask my father to be merciful and not to raise a big prison easily."

Lao Zhu took a deep breath and waved his hand impatiently, "You are too benevolent, and when you become the Son of Heaven in the future, you will be bullied by those people." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang taught his son a lesson, he suddenly saw Liu Chun, who had been bowing and silent, Lao Zhu coughed, and said to Zhu Biao: "You remember your father's words, and when you ascend the throne, you must reuse this kid...... Ahem! Lao Zhu cleared his throat and deliberately raised his voice and said: "This kid has a lot of intestines, and he has more bad intentions than anyone else. ”

After listening to this, Liu Chun almost spurted blood, don't bring such a bully?

"Your Majesty, the minister also acts in accordance with the teachings of the sages, I can memorize the Analects, if you don't believe it, Your Majesty can come up with the question now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "What's the use of memorizing it?" Do you think those people will really act according to the teachings of the sages? The saints have said so many things, they talk about them everywhere if they are useful, and throw aside the useless ones, and even tamper with them! In a word, they are all selfish and self-interested people, people who are consumed by profit! ”

When it comes to officials, Lao Zhu is always full of anger.

"Stinky boy, if you want to talk about it, you're a little better than them...... You are greedy for money and not fame, and they want fame and fortune, how can you say it in the words of the common people? I want to be a bitch, and I want to set up a torii! It's really damnable! ”

Liu Chun didn't know how to reply to Lao Zhu's words.

If you scold the civil official, you will scold, why do you have to drag me in, from beginning to end, I am an honest and good person, I am so wronged!

Liu Chun hung his head and simply didn't say a word.

But Lao Zhu was full of interest and was very happy, "Prince, this kid talks about love and so on, but he reminded me." The sages have said so much, but what the sages really mean has been debated endlessly. The great Confucians of the past dynasties have different explanations, and I don't have a very good way to deal with it. ”

Zhu Biao didn't speak, but glanced at Liu Chun with a smile.

Don't forget that he caused it, just ask him!

"What do you think, stinky boy?"

Liu Chun blinked, embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't have any ideas...... It's just that the minister is thinking, why have there been official envoys in the past dynasties, but there is no official sage doctrine? If there was a standard, I wouldn't say yours, I would talk about mine. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted with his nose, "Is this still called no idea?" Haven't you thought of all the solutions? ”

Liu Chun lowered his head again and stared at the floor tiles in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to him, but called Zhu Biao in front of him, and the father and son discussed excitedly...... Lao Zhu has not worked hard in order to unify his thoughts.

His deletion and alteration of "Mencius" is the best proof of this, but Lao Zhu never thought that he could reinterpret the views of the sages...... After he ascended the throne, he enshrined Zhu Xi's doctrine as a guideline, and the imperial examination must be strictly in accordance with Zhu Xi's annotations, and no additional play is allowed.

But no matter how good Zhu Xi's doctrine is, it is not as good as tailor-made after all.

Just like this time, admitting that there is a difference in love, etc., when formulating a foreign strategy, you can pay attention to China and ignore the four countries...... Then, promoting overseas trade, earning money, and enriching the country and the people have become things recognized by the sages.

Whoever dares to stop the Confucian ministers in the court will slap their ancestors in the face.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the happier he became, wonderful, really wonderful!

Liu Chun, this kid, is really bad, but at the critical moment, it is really useful!

Lao Zhu waved his hand at Liu Chun and called him over.

"I plan to gather people of insight from all over the world to cultivate books together, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

What else can Liu Chun say, he can only apologize to Zhu Laosi in his heart: I'm sorry, I'm afraid that "Yongle Ceremony" will become "Hongwu Ceremony" in advance.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself again: "I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to repair such a huge work, and now I have gray temples, and I don't know if I can see the day when the book will be completed!" ”

The crown prince Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Father, this matter will be handed over to the son, and the son-in-law will definitely do his best to complete it as soon as possible!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, "This revision of the book is for the sake of my Zhu family's country, the work of all generations, and I can't blindly seek speed." You have to cultivate perfectly, and when this holy life is over, you will come up with a plan. By the way, if you have any questions, just look for this kid, he has a lot of ideas. ”

I want to fix the book!

Won't it be profitable?

Liu Chun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty said so, and the minister came up with a ghost idea...... It is of course important to revise a great work. Kechen feels that to measure the influence of a work, it is also necessary to look at the scope of circulation. It's like the "Great Message", which His Majesty personally revised, and every household has a copy, so that the people can understand the imperial decrees and obey His Majesty's will. The minister thinks that before revising the huge work, can he revise a few pamphlets first to facilitate circulation. Your Majesty can also measure the effect and then make a decision! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath, there is some truth, although the masterpiece is good, there are a few people who may understand it, Lao Zhu hopes that every ordinary person can be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so the book that is repaired is best like "The Great Message", and everyone has one!

"That's a good suggestion, I agreed." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly blamed himself, counting how many good suggestions Liu Chun had made...... According to his merits, if he becomes an official in the court, he may be able to wear a big red robe, but now, he is still an experienced official who is not embarrassed or embarrassed, what do outsiders think?

"I want to reward you!"

Lao Zhu did it from the bottom of his heart this time, but what about Liu Chun, he was scared of the gold medal last time, and if Lao Zhu came again, he couldn't refuse.

"Your Majesty, the minister is about to say, if Your Majesty can hand over the matter of printing books to the minister, the minister will be grateful!"

Zhu Biao hesitated: "What kind of reward is it that you want to print books for your father?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and his angry old face was distorted!

"Stinky boy, you dare to earn even my money! Get out, get out of here now, I don't want to see you again! ”
