Chapter 288: The Complete Whispers of a Maniac
Emperor Chongzhen, who was used by Zhu Yujian as an example to teach Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunshu, is making a lot of nonsense in the palace at the moment.
Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's nonsense, it was the imperial literati Chen Mo, plus a Duan Xiaorong, who wrote the "Secret History of Bumu Butai", the guy with the pen name Rong Xiaorong, plus Wen Tiren, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Weixian, and the lackeys of the eunuch party.
The location is in the Imperial Prison. Emperor Chongzhen's reason was to let Duan Xiaorong and Chen Mo sort it out so that they could be published in the future.
"The ancients said, the rites still lived.
The so-called exchanges, for example, must have contacts and contacts. As the saying goes, if someone slaps you, you have to slap him twice, and kick him twice by the way, which is called coming and going.
For example, if Jiannu kills one of my people, then we will have to pay back ten times and a hundred times!
Why? Because of the exchange of gifts, if someone gives you a gift, you have to return the gift, otherwise it will be rude, which is not right. ”
Seeing that Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai and the others, including the dead eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian, were full of black lines on their faces, Emperor Chongzhen turned a blind eye to it, and continued: "Let's talk about this way of benevolence and forgiveness after we finish talking about the exchange of courtesies."
Just like I said just now, if Jiannu kills one of my Ming people, we will kill him ten, a hundred, this is called courtesy.
However, the Son once said that he should convince people with virtue.
Then when we kill the Jiannu until they surrender honestly, their soil becomes the Ming Dynasty, and their gold and silver become the Ming Dynasty, we will forgive them again.
What is it? This is to convince people with virtue, and this is called forgiveness! ”
Wen Tiren, who was helpless by Emperor Chongzhen's nonsense, had to bow down and say: "Your Majesty, it is not so useful to convince people with virtue. Therefore, Song Fan Wengong said in the "Book of Current Affairs" that the ministers heard that they would be convinced by virtue, and the world would be pleased, and they would be persuaded by force, and the world would be resentful. ”
Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Where is the origin of convincing people with virtue?" ”
Wen Tiren bowed and said: "Your Majesty, from "Mencius, Gongsun Choushang", Mencius said: Those who convince others with their strength are not convinced, and they are not supported by their strength. Those who serve people with virtue, the center is happy and sincere, and the service of Confucius is also like the service of the seventy sons. ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "That's right." Fan Xianggong took it out of context, and he didn't know what it meant to convince people with virtue, so Song was bullied on the ground by those bastards of the pseudo-Yuan.
Wen Aiqing must remember that my Daming also convinces people with virtue, but when virtue can't convince people, don't care if you use knives or fists, you always have to let them obey, and if you don't accept it, bury it in the ground. ”
Seeing that Wen Tiren wanted to argue a few more words, Emperor Chongzhen simply didn't give him a chance to speak: "Yasheng Mencius has said it, and he can't support it." Isn't it impossible to beat it if you say it directly, so you can't accept it orally?
However, I don't need them to be convinced, as long as they are honest and obedient. For example, Lin Dan Khan, he is very convinced now, does Wen Aiqing understand? ”
Wen Tiren has always understood that Emperor Chongzhen said it so bluntly, anyone who doesn't understand it is a fool.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen obviously didn't care, and just continued: "You just talked about Ren, right?" Then move on to benevolence. ”
Chen Mo, who was writing hard next to him, took advantage of Emperor Chongzhen's breathing, hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and continued to write.
Emperor Chongzhen continued: "We are born as human beings, so naturally we must pay attention to benevolence.
However, the word benevolence is not for everyone.
For example, Jiannu, for example, Lin Dan Khan, for example, those barbarians.
You should know that even the sage of Confucius once said that Yidi has a king, and it is not as good as the death of Zhuxia.
Ji Bu, who has made a promise, once said that Yi Di Bi is like a beast, and his good words are not enough to be happy, and evil words are not enough to be angry.
Emperor Taizong, who was respected as the Khan of Heaven by Yi Di in the Tang Dynasty, also once said that Rong Di was human-faced and beast-hearted, and he was not surprised, and he would be harmed.
Even in the former Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo also said that Yidi could not be governed by China, such as animals. ”
Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai, who said this, kept nodding in agreement.
Emperor Chongzhen was also secretly proud in his heart.
For this day, I have been preparing for a long time, not only carefully recalling all the "historical reference materials" in my memory, but also reading these Confucian classics and all the messy materials in the historical records and memorizing them by rote.
Now Wen Tiren and others all agree, which means that there is no problem with their preparations.
Since this is the case, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "So, benevolence, it is for the people of my Ming Dynasty, they are human beings, as for Jiannu and those Francos, Portuguese or something, they are just humanoid beasts, so this benevolence does not need to be told to them."
Of course, if one day, they completely integrate into the Ming Dynasty, then this benevolence will definitely have to be told to them.
As for how to integrate them into the Ming Dynasty and how to spread the teachings of the saints, this is what the Protectorate and the Cabinet of the Five Armies should do. ”
When the British Duke Zhang Weixian, who has now been promoted to the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Ming Military Aircraft Department, heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "The incompetence of the ministers has made Your Majesty tired, please forgive Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Chongzhen's senses for Zhang Weixian have always been very good, and now he can't last a few years when he looks at the appearance of the British Duke, but he is still loyal to himself and considers the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen has more and more respect for the British Duke.
After waving his hand to show that he didn't care, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian and the members of the eunuch party and spoke: "I have a few words, but they are not suitable for Wen Aiqing and Shi Aiqing, so you will pass them on in private for me." ”
Wei Zhongxian treated Emperor Chongzhen more than Emperor Tianqi at this time - Emperor Tianqi had a much better temper, and he wanted face, and he needed to play the stage with the civil official system, so he was also tolerant of himself.
But the master in front of him is different.
Don't say it's yourself, now as long as this master is willing, it will only take a few days to change everything in the court.
Now I don't want to say that I am nine thousand years old, but even among the eunuchs, what I said is not as effective as when the Emperor of the Apocalypse was - they are all fucking white-eyed wolves.
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was not used to the Donglin Party and some other bullshit guys, these members of the Eunuch Party consciously and automatically moved closer to Emperor Chongzhen.
Wei Zhongxian, who saw his current status very clearly, bowed down and said, "Please give instructions to Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Chongzhen was entangled for a long time before he spoke: "Why do you want to talk about benevolence and righteousness to the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
They pay taxes so that the big guys have money to spend, cultivate food so that the big guys have food, send their sons to serve as soldiers to fight the world for the Ming Dynasty, and send their daughters for the dignitaries to have fun, so that the people don't tell them benevolence and righteousness, that is, they feed the dogs with conscience!
As for the disobedient foreigners, do they pay the money to the people? Did you hand over food for the big guys to eat? Their sons will come and steal our things, and their daughters won't let the big guys play.
Then you say, is it a disease of the head to teach righteousness to such foreigners?
If the body is disabled, it is easy to say, if the brain is disabled, there is no cure. ”
Wei Zhongxian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed down and said, "Yes, the slave must spread this word." ”
Wen Tiren's movements at this time were simply in sync with Wei Zhongxian's - he also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Emperor Chongzhen's words were not only for Wei Zhongxian, but also for everyone present, or it could be said that they were for the civil and military nobles up and down the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Chongzhen ignored everyone's actions of wiping their sweat, and just continued: "Why do we want to spread the sage edification to these barbarians?
When they are educated, integrated into the Ming Dynasty, pay money to the big guys, and give sons and daughters, then we must also teach them benevolence and righteousness.
This is the purpose of our propagation and indoctrination - we can't look down on these barbarians because the people of the Ming Dynasty are born noble, we must get rich first and lead the latter to become rich, so that these beasts can also bathe in the glory of the sage's indoctrination. ”
As soon as the words turned, Emperor Chongzhen said murderously: "However, before these beasts evolve into humans, if anyone tells me anything about internal cultivation and morality, I will let this kind of brainless thing educate these barbarians."
In addition, all barbarians who have not evolved into human beings need the Protectorate and the Cabinet of the Five Armies to find a way to spread the glory of the saints' teachings to them, and to come up with a practical plan. ”
Wen Tiren, who felt that the green tendons on his head were jumping wildly, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, if these discussions are spread, I am afraid that Your Majesty's holy reputation will be hindered?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Get in the way!" The theories of beasts and beasts just now were originally said by those sages, as well as benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and virtue, which were also said by the sages.
As the last great master of Confucianism, could it be that my interpretation would be wrong?
If you think that my interpretation is wrong, is there a second great master of Confucianism in this world?
Since there is none, it means that my Confucian knowledge is the best, and it cannot be wrong! ”
Emperor Chongzhen's extremely shameless and naked words made everyone present wipe their sweat.
Originally, I thought that Emperor Chongzhen hadn't jumped out to do things during this time, but he finally had the appearance of some emperors, who knew that he hadn't made a splash for three years, and he was shocked, and this master actually held back such a big move.
It's just that the lower limit of Emperor Chongzhen is obviously not something that Wen Tiren and Zhang Weixian, such as Wenchen and nobles, can guess.
Even there is still a long way to go from the lower limit value guessed by Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the Great Ming eunuchs.
Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to Duan Xiaorong, and said again: "What kind of "The Secret History of Bumu Butai" you wrote, I have read it, and it is well written, and I will work hard to write better in the future, and contribute to the entertainment life of Jiannu." ”
After Duan Xiaorong bowed, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I will edict Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and the monk of Shaolin Temple will enter Beijing.
When the time comes, you will discuss it with them and write a new book for me. ”
Duan Xiaorong bowed down and asked, "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "This Ming Dynasty's gods and Buddhas are too chaotic, for example, there are many conflicts in the records in "Fengshen Bang" and "Journey to the West".
I want you to work with Zhang Tianshi and Monk Haikuan to find out the origin and position of these gods and Buddhas, and write a new book, so that the people will not know what the gods and goddesses do.
For example, this day must have been opened by Pangu, after Pangu opened the heavens and died, the original gods turned into three Qings, and the essence blood turned into twelve ancestors, all of which were controlled by the Emperor of Heaven, that is, the supreme supreme nature of Haotian Jinque, and the true Jade Emperor God.
As for the other six emperors, the Emperor of the Gouchen Shanggong, the Emperor Ziwei of the Middle Arctic, the Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole, the Emperor of Eternal Life of the Antarctic, and the Emperor of the Earth after the imitation of Chengtian, they were all canonized by the edict of the Three Qing Fu and the Holy Decree of the Jade Emperor.
And the supreme supreme nature of Haotian Jinque is the god of the true Jade Emperor and incarnated in thousands of people, such as the Buddha among the five elders, and the God that the Western barbarians say, all of them are the doppelgangers of the Supreme Supreme Nature of the Supreme Jade Emperor God of Haotian Jinque. ”
Duan Xiaorong wiped his sweat, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, if it is according to Your Majesty's words, there must be no problem on Zhang Tianshi's side, but on the other side of the sea wide?" ”
Duan Xiaorong's worries are not unreasonable.
Today's Buddhism is quite powerful in the Ming Dynasty, and as for Taoism, it has always been in a suppressed situation.
However, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, this is unbearable.
It's definitely not a good thing for a family to be dominant.
It's just a matter of dealing with it together.
In the current Ming Dynasty, most of the people in the world know that Bodhidharma crossed to the east, but few people know that Lao Tzu traveled west and turned Hu into a Buddha.
Now Emperor Chongzhen wants to arrange the origin of the Buddhas of Buddhism from the root, and this matter has been spread, and the bald donkeys in the world are not allowed to turn the sky?
It's just that Duan Xiaorong underestimated Emperor Chongzhen's determination.
As for the development of believers to preach, they have never paid much attention to it, and they love to believe in it, and they don't believe in it, as long as they don't disturb their cultivation of immortals, they are very high-level people who don't care about everything.
This is what Emperor Chongzhen was angry about.
It's no problem for you to cultivate immortals, but seeing that you are intimidated by bald donkeys, taught by your friends, and intimidated by Allah, these bull-nosed people still look like high-ranking people who don't disturb Lao Tzu's cultivation of immortals, as for the Taoist system or something, just follow the fate.
Since you are not motivated, then I will force you to be motivated!
As for Duan Xiaorong's concern that the bald donkeys were going to object, Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Objection? What can I do if the old thing of Wuzong's destruction of Buddha in the Huichang period comes back to me in the Ming Dynasty?
The bald donkeys objected, could it be that the steel knife in the hand of the deception was not good? ”
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, none of the people present raised any objections.
In the eyes of Wen Tiren, Zhang Weixian and others, this kind of Emperor Chongzhen looks more familiar - it is really the original formula, the original emperor who loves to make trouble.
Just a slap has to give a sweet date, especially now that you have to do something big.
Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a long time before he said: "I heard that there is a country in the far west of Europa, called England, and the queen of its country governs. ”
