Zhu Jie is very helpless about the opinions of Yang Tingshu and Fang Yizhi and others, these people can be said to be well-deserved elites in the Ming Dynasty, but they still feel good about themselves, and think that Confucianism should be self-respecting, which is really ridiculous.

Zhu Jie sighed and said: "Gentlemen, think about it, from Emperor Qin to Han Wu, from Tang Sect to Song Zu, and then to Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, which one is not eloquent, and which one is not the inner saint and outer king, who will stabilize the people's livelihood internally and continue to expand externally?" Moral articles can make society stable, that's all, but moral articles can never scare away the invaders, from the Xiongnu to the Wuhu, from the Khitan to the Western Xia, and then from the Jurchens to Mongolia, we rely on the moral articles, which one have we defeated? The battle of Yashan, it almost made us collapse the Yan Zodiac system, and the blood was cut off, this is the consequence of the Confucian moral article monopoly, now the Manchurians are eyeing the tiger, and the Westerners are also our future mortal enemies, do you want to make our Yan and Huang Dao once again face the danger of collapse, and finally the Han family will fall apart? ”

Everyone looked at each other one by one, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a person who dared to attack orthodox Confucianism like this, you must know that the entire court, almost all of them are Confucian and Mencian disciples, and all the famous families of the Ming Dynasty also regard themselves as disciples of Confucius, and now Zhu Jie is good, and he has deducted one basin after another to the head of Confucianism!

However, it seems that there is nothing wrong with what Zhu Jie said, Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Emperor and Song Zu, and even Emperor Taizu, which one is not a dominant role, and which one brings the Han family to a prosperous situation? However, there seem to be some problems with this......

"Master Inspector, I don't deny that these eloquent emperors may not all rely on the way of Confucius and Mencius, but without the way of Confucius and Mencius as the foundation, a dynasty cannot last. The same is true of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, which was originally extremely strong, was also defeated in the end because of his reckless military force, as for Tang Taizong, he was obsessed with war in his later years, which consumed the vitality of the Tang Dynasty, which has been proven by history! ”

Yang Tingshu argued.

"Brother Fu'an, wrong, you have to understand that the end of each dynasty is not caused by deviating from the way of Confucius and Mencius, and it has nothing to do with Confucius and Mencius at all, but for another reason!"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice.

"I want to hear about it!"

Yang Tingshu was not angry.

Zhu Jie sneered: "Brother Fu'an, don't be unconvinced, when I finish speaking, you will naturally be convinced!" ”

"From ancient times to the present, the Han family itself has not had a dynasty that can exceed 400 years, and the second Qin Dynasty died; more than 200 years in the Western Han Dynasty and more than 200 years in the Eastern Han Dynasty; Western Jin Dynasty for decades; One or two hundred years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty; The Sui Dynasty is also a few decades, the Tang Dynasty is longer, but only about three hundred years, to the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the same two hundred years, can more than three hundred years of rivers and mountains are a handful, four hundred years at all, there is no dynasty because of Confucius and Mencius to govern the country, to avoid the fate of extinction, can it be said that the way of Confucius and Mencius is still the root of dynasty change? Today's emperor doesn't respect Confucius and Mencius enough? He said that he wanted to share the world with the scholars, so what, for more than ten years, the rivers have been declining, and the swords and soldiers have risen everywhere, and they have reached the verge of collapse, what I said is not wrong, right? ”

Yang heard that his face was a little ugly, and nodded bitterly, what Zhu Jie said was the truth, although he didn't want to admit it, but he was powerless to refute it.

Zhu Jie continued: "Why is this happening, in fact, Wei Zheng, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, has already given the answer, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat; At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to years of war, population loss, and the vitality of the landlords and heroes in the war, a large number of peasants obtained land again. The head is your own! At the beginning of the founding of the country, all dynasties relied on Huang Laozhi's way of recuperation and recuperation, and the people of Li got the opportunity to recuperate; However, this land cannot always be kept in the hands of the peasants, and you know better than me what will happen to the landlords once they have money. Build a house, buy land; Buying land, building a house, there is almost no third thing, more than a hundred years, the greedy landlords will divide up the land, once they encounter a famine, the common people are hungry, naturally they will rise up and rebel, right? At the beginning, the imperial court still had enough ability to stabilize the situation, but as time went on, more and more people lost their land and could not survive, and if they did not rebel, they would only starve to death, and then there was only one way to rebel! ”

I'm a good girl, this Inspector really dares to say it, and he even said about the rebellion!

Zhu Jie smiled: "How is it?" The reason is already obvious, from ancient times to the present, there are only two reasons for the change of dynasties, one is that the most common people have no land and cannot live; The second is the invasion of foreign races, and the mountains and rivers are broken. However, which of these two reasons has anything to do with the way of Confucius and Mencius? You can't help but think too highly of the way of Confucius and Mencius, it is just a science, and I am more concerned than morality, how can my artillery be fired faster, farther and more powerful; I am more concerned about how my musket can be changed from front to rear to increase the rate of fire, and I am more concerned about how to make my sailors' ships faster, bigger, stronger, and more powerful; At the very least, when the army occupies the invincible world, what alien race, whoever dares to come, Lao Tzu will be the first to scare him down! ”

"What about the rebellion of the common people?"

Fang Yizhi said in a deep voice, "My lord, I have to say, what you said is very reasonable, but as the saying goes, half of the treatise rules the world, if you want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, don't you still have to rely on the teachings of the saints?" ”

"!"

Zhu Jie said disdainfully: "Guan Zhong also once said that Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette, and when you can't even feed your stomach, if you give the people the teachings of the saints, they are afraid that they will throw you into the pot and cook it!" When life is not guaranteed, who cares about etiquette and shame? Isn't there less such a thing as a child being eaten? Man Gong, if you tell the vicious robber a "Shu Er", won't he rob you? For example, you, put away that set of Confucius and Mencius, what I need is your talent in the fields of astronomical calendar, calculus, and river engineering! If you manage a Huai River for me, or run an iron factory, it will be more useful than you being a prefect or even a political envoy! Better than a thousand poems! ”

Belch......

Fang Yizhi's face was embarrassed, he was really good at astronomical calculations, river engineering and water conservancy, but don't say that the friends next to him said that he was not doing his job, and even he thought that these were just side roads......

"So, Western scientists, I am bound to win! I am bound to get the information of Zheng He's trip to the West, and I am bound to get the information of Yingtian Academy, even if the emperor orders to stop it, it can't stop my determination! ”
