Dialogue between ancient and modern: I create programs, national treasures have spirits

Chapter 98 The Impossible Dynasty
"People, corrupt officials..."

Yi Ze chewed on these two words.

Among the emperors throughout history, only Zhu Yuanzhang treated the people and truly loved the people like a son.

Reducing and exempting taxes from time to time, and mercilessly massacring corrupt officials are all very good things for the people.

Scholars would not like such an emperor.

There is no room for sand in his place.

Officials who want to fish in troubled waters and fatten themselves must first face Zhu Yuanzhang's guillotine.

But even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still had no hesitation.

From the beginning of his ascension to his twilight years.

A generation of emperors still laments that the corrupt officials in the world cannot be killed!

How sad.

And after his death, he still remembered the common people, and still wanted to severely punish corruption.

This kind of thought is rare in ancient times.

Or even, no!

Thinking over the words, Yi Ze answered the question.

"Your Majesty, throughout history, the rise and fall of dynasties is commonplace."

"Great Qin was so powerful for a while, but he still died in the second generation."

"The fortune of the Han Dynasty is prosperous, and the chaos of the Three Kingdoms cannot be avoided."

"Da Ming, it's the same."

"This is an unavoidable thing. From ancient times to the present, there has not been a dynasty that has survived for a thousand years."

Yi Ze's words were very pertinent, and he took advantage of the trend to introduce them into Daming.

"The people of Ming Dynasty enjoyed a short-lived but hard-won peace and prosperity, and soon fell into the cycle of history. Poverty and suffering have always been with them."

"As for corrupt officials, the same is true, as time goes by, more and more."

"The scene of the end of the Ming Dynasty is not much different from that of the end of the Meng and Yuan Dynasties."

Yi Ze's words made Zhu Yuanzhang silent immediately.

He stared blankly at the majestic mountains and rivers below him, speechless for a while.

How else?
Zhu Yuanzhang set the most stringent regulations and formulated the most rigid rules.

He has kept everyone in that position for generations.

A merchant's son will always be a merchant, a farmer's son will always be a farmer, and a carpenter's son will always be a carpenter.

Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that the world would always be like this, and the country would always be peaceful and peaceful.

It's just that after his death, the rules he made quickly fell apart.

The Daming mountains and rivers he expected were eaten up by moths in a very short period of time.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He was a little disheartened.

The excitement that was aroused before was poured down by a pot of cold water at this moment.

After a long while, he murmured: "I thought this path was correct..."

"History has proven it to be wrong, to the end, to nowhere."

Yi Ze stabbed him heartily, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute.

Anyone with a discerning eye understands that the path Zhu Yuanzhang chose is wrong, and he will not go far.

Over time, it will gradually become rigid and rigid.

But no one laughed at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because at least in his time, and even in the decades that followed, the path he chose still looked very bright.

You can still walk after sewing and mending.

This is already a very remarkable thing!

"Sir, if every emperor is wise and powerful, and every generation of courtiers is wise and intelligent, can this dynasty continue forever?"

I have to say that the members of Old Zhu's family are somewhat idealistic.

They always have an unrealistic fantasy.

Looking at the sixteen emperors of the old Zhu family, almost all of them are like this.

In terms of distinctive personalities, no dynasty in the past can compare with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

But it can only be said that idealism is illusory and elusive after all, and it is difficult to implement.

Especially at this time, it is basically impossible to achieve.

"There is no such time."

Yi Ze shook his head, recalling the ancient and modern dynasties, all of them were the first few emperors who were still sober-minded. The further they went, the emperor's ability and wisdom showed a precipitous decline.

As for the courtiers, due to the imperial examination system, the wisdom of each generation of courtiers is different, but they are all relatively close.

It just depends on whether the generation sitting on the throne can discover the gold and make good use of it.

It is not uncommon in history for ministers to devour their masters.

Therefore, the ideal country mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang can only last for a short time.

And when it exists, it is often a dynasty, when it is the most prosperous and developed.

After a long silence, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed quietly.

He turned around, looked at Yi Ze for a long time, looked at this weird costume and makeup, and asked suddenly: "What about the dynasty that Mr. is in?"

Yi Ze raised his eyebrows, which was a strange development.

In the past, he often introduced it independently, and few people took the initiative to mention it.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask anything else, and the question went straight to the core.

It has to be said that this emperor is really quite different from others.

Facing this question, Yi Ze shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the era in which this junior lives is not a dynasty!"

Seeing the puzzled expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Yi Ze was already familiar with this familiar look.

"Actually, the younger generation is the master of that country, but it's just an insignificant part of the 14 million masters!"

Yi Ze's words shocked Zhu Yuanzhang greatly.

His voice was almost horrified, revealing the horror in his heart.

"How is this possible? Everyone is the lord of the country, so if there are different opinions on how to run the country, wouldn't it be difficult to move forward?"

"Our forefathers had thought of such things."

Yi Ze explained, trying to use easy-to-understand vocabulary that Zhu Yuanzhang could understand.

"Therefore, we elected qualified, wise and powerful leaders to make decisions on our behalf and lead us forward."

"Your Majesty just said that every emperor is wise and powerful, and every generation of courtiers is wise and intelligent. Such a dynasty really does not exist!"

"However, such a country exists!"

Yi Ze's words were full of pride.

That pride deeply infected Zhu Yuanzhang and surprised him.

"It's a great honor that the younger generation was born in such a country, and will always belong to this country!"

Regarding this, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a bit of envy on his face, mixed with some jealousy.

"If only I could come up with something similar."

"Your Majesty, it will never be possible for one family to rule the world to such a degree."

Yi Ze shook his head and comforted: "Since the beginning of the First Emperor, no matter how many dynasties have gone through, it is difficult to escape this historical law. No matter how later kings repair this system, if the most fundamental problem is not solved, the dynasty will never survive forever!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is so smart, he immediately understood what the most fundamental problem in Yi Ze's words was.

He shook his head, knowing in his heart that this could only be an unrealistic fantasy.

The desire for power makes people crazy, so that brothers kill each other, uncles and nephews become enemies, and things happen from time to time.

It is as difficult as heaven to let people who have already gained supreme power give up their vested interests.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang can only envy.

"By the way, since sir can return to me from the afterlife, can you do me a little favor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, please tell me that if this junior can do it, I will definitely help you!"

Yi Ze naturally has no objection.

He also wanted to know, what would this extraordinary emperor ask him for help.
