Daming: Teach the prince about dragon slaying skills at the beginning

In the end, the Kong Sheng family, which has been passed down for nearly 2000 years, will be knocked out of the dust, and it will even be the scene where it will be destroyed forever.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

Yes, I have lingering fears.

Because it was not only the more than [-] Yingtianfu people who were coerced by the public opinion at that time, even he, the current emperor, was also coerced by the public opinion! ! !

When the more than [-] people of Yingtian Mansion who were inspired by Yan Zhangqing sympathized, they fanatically clamored for the beheading of the saints, condemning the children of the Kong family, and returning justice to the people of Qufu.

Even if he was the emperor of the current dynasty, at that time he had to obey the raging public opinion, cut off the sage of the Kong family, condemn the children of the Kong family, and return justice to the people of Qufu.

If he refused at that time, or made other actions that dissatisfied the more than [-] people in Yingtianfu.

Then maybe the more than [-] people in Yingtian Mansion will stir up a civil uprising on the spot!

Once he really got to that point, he would retreat back to the palace except under the protection of a group of Jinyi guards.

Then mobilize the Left and Right Mansion Army, Jinyiwei, and even the capital army outside Yingtian Mansion to suppress bloodyly, there is no other better way!

In addition, the fanatical appearance of the more than [-] people in Yingtianfu at that time also made Zhu Yuanzhang dream back to decades ago, as if seeing the scene when the Red Scarf Army swept the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, the words "Mo Daoshi's one eye provoked the rebellion of the Yellow River" sparked and formed a huge public opinion among the people all over the world, and then fueled by the leaders of the Red Turban Army, it ignited the Yuan Dynasty Beacons of rebellion all over the land.

Countless people joined the Red Scarf Army uprising and jointly resisted the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. In the end, the huge Mongolian Yuan Empire collapsed and destroyed, and the remaining Mongolian Yuan forces could only survive far away from the northern border.

This shows how terrifying the power of public opinion is! ! !

At the same time, it also strengthened Zhu Yuanzhang's idea that he must firmly hold the voice of public opinion and public opinion in his hands.

Because the right to speak of public opinion and public opinion is a power that can really threaten the power of the emperor.

Even once the discourse power of public opinion and public opinion is out of control, to a certain extent, it will be even more terrifying than the ministerial power and cabinet power that also threaten the emperor's imperial power!

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on the piece of rice paper on the right, on which it was written: "Follow the people and carry the emperor, and the imperial edict says."

It's just that when Zhu Yuanzhang saw these eight characters, hesitation flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Before the abolition of "Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man", he, as the son of the "Son of Heaven", obeyed the will of heaven and inherited the fortune of the new dynasty. Therefore, his imperial decree began with "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun", indicating the legitimacy of his status as the son of heaven. Sexual source.

But now that "Theory of Interaction between Heaven and Man" has been abolished, and after the mysterious "Heaven" has been denied to exist, it is inappropriate for him to continue to use the title "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun".

Therefore, he wanted to adopt a new name to define the legitimacy of his origin as the Son of Heaven.

It's just that he thought about it for a long time, and thought that many names were not suitable.

Because his situation is different from that of the founding emperors in the past.

First of all, after the abolition of "Theory of Interaction Between Heaven and Man", all methods of relying on "Heaven" to affirm the legitimacy of one's own origin as the Son of Heaven are no longer appropriate.

For example, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was the rebel against the White Snake and claimed to be the reincarnation of the Red Emperor, but such a routine obviously no longer suits him.

Secondly, although his ancestors have been poor for generations, he doesn't think it is a shameful thing, and he is even more unwilling to say that in order to qualify his origin as the emperor, he blindly recognizes some ancestors.

For example, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who recognized Lao Tzu as their ancestors, they claimed to be descendants of Lao Tzu.

Although he admires Tang Taizong Li Shimin's achievements, he still disdains this kind of misrecognition of his ancestors.

In his opinion, whatever his ancestors were, that's what they were, open and frank, and there was nothing shameful about it.

If you really feel that your ancestors are shameful, then it is not the ancestors who should be ashamed, but the descendants who have such thoughts!

Therefore, he never concealed that his ancestors were poor for generations, including that he himself was a beggar and a refugee.

He, Lao Zhu, is a beggar and a grassroots emperor from a refugee background. Others do whatever they want.

It's just that if he neither chooses to rely on the heavens nor his ancestors, then for him, there is no way for him to use as a reference to determine the legitimacy of the source of his own son.

Because the emperors in the past, there were basically two ways to determine the legitimacy of their origin as emperors.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed everything that happened today, and even reviewed his experience of decades of rebellion in the past.

In the end, he discovered that the fundamental reason why he was able to become the emperor lies in the "people"! ! !

In other words, it was precisely because of countless uprising people who supported him and joined him that he was able to defeat other princes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, overthrow the Mongolian and Yuan courts, and establish Ming Dynasty! ! !

It can be said that all his roots lie in the "people"! ! !

If it is necessary to make a qualitative determination of the legitimacy of his origin as the emperor, then the most appropriate thing he can think of is "serving the people's fortune"! ! !

He just followed the wishes of thousands of people who were exploited and oppressed by the Mongolian and Yuan courts, and finally he came to where he is today step by step.

But if once he chooses to "follow the people and carry forward his fortune", he will determine the legitimacy of his origin as the emperor.

Then it is equivalent to official recognition in disguise that the people can choose the emperor! ! !

In the future, if someone stirs up public opinion like Yan Changqing today and coerces public opinion to rebel, then the "serving the people's fortune" that he now uses to qualify himself as the source of the emperor's legitimacy is the best excuse for the other party to rebel ! ! !

It was precisely because of this thought that he hesitated.

"Ugh......"

In the imperial study room, there was a faint sigh.

Chapter 283: During the ten-year period of weakness of Confucianism, Yan Changqing, who is going to overthrow Confucianism with his whole life [please subscribe, please order in full]

In the College of Agriculture, in the mansion of the dean, Yan Changqing was immersed in the wooden bucket of hot water.

In the vague heat, Yan Changqing's pale complexion could be vaguely seen.

I vomited it after I came back, and the bile was forcefully vomited out.

He was just an ordinary person in his previous life, not to mention bloody scenes, he hadn't even seen bloody fights a few times.

Even in this era, thanks to his PhD in Computing from the Imperial Academy and his status as a Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he has never really seen the cruelty of this era.

But today, he witnessed with his own eyes ten disciples of the Confucian family who died in various miserable ways in front of him.

He even personally raised a knife and slashed a Kong family child seven or eight times. It would be a lie to say that he didn't have any psychological discomfort. After all, he was not a killer who was born to take pleasure in killing.

It's just that he has been holding on all the time, pretending to be arrogant not to look at the tragic situation of the children of the Kong family, and constantly hinting to himself to divert his attention to other people, so he just made it through.

Otherwise, he might spit it out in public when he saw those Kong family children being burned, beheaded, and cut in half.

And once he vomits out in public, the atmosphere he has worked so hard to create will be broken immediately.

At that time, any words he said will be greatly weakened in the ears of others, and even those like Confucianism will use this to ridicule him for being weak.

At that time, it will be even more difficult for him to stir up public opinion and coerce public opinion.

Because the reason why the collective masses will blindly follow a person's remarks is essentially because of the "power" of this person.

For example, the strength of credibility, such as the strength of individual force, such as the lofty status and so on.

The behavior of "vomiting" is undoubtedly a weak behavior in the eyes of the collective masses.

It is very difficult for people with weak behavior to gain the trust of the collective and follow them blindly.

But fortunately, in the end he managed to hold on until the end of the debate.

"Hoo....｀々."

Yan Changqing let out a deep and long breath, and under the soothing effect of the hot water, his state finally recovered a lot.

"The Kong family was destroyed, plus Zhu Yuanzhang's mass murder because of the rebellion of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others before."

"It will take at least ten years for Confucianism to return to its peak state in the future."

Yan Changqing in the bathtub muttered to himself thinking about what happened today.

Although today the Kong family, the family of Kong Sheng, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has been knocked down into the dust, and even into a place where it will never be restored.

But Yan Changqing was not overly happy, because he knew very well that the Confucian family was only a representative of Confucianism, but the Confucian family did not really represent Confucianism! ! !

To be precise, the ones who really represent Confucianism are the Confucian civil servants who are temporarily leading the positions of important ministers of the Seven Ministers in the court today! ! !

They are the ones who truly represent the rise and fall of Confucianism! ! !

As long as the important ministers of the Seven Ministers above the court are still all served by civil servants who were born in Confucianism.

Then it means that Confucianism still firmly holds the mainstream discourse power, and it is still the only prominent school in the world! ! !

So speaking from this perspective, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who really brought great harm and influence to Confucianism.

Because before Zhu Yuanzhang used Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others for the crime of treason, he beheaded all the seven ministers who were born in Confucianism, and slaughtered more than half of the other civil servants, large and small.

Nowadays, all the civil servants of Confucian origin in the imperial court are basically leapfrogging their current positions.

In order to keep their current positions, these civil servants did not question or resist any of Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions as soon as possible.

As a result, at the critical moment, the seven ministers who did not have enough weight were able to speak for Confucianism, Confucianism, and "Theory of Interaction between Heaven and Man".

That's why Yan Changqing was able to so easily argue with the Kong family, Liu Sanwu and the others today that he had nothing to say.

Otherwise, if the real power of Confucianism and the seven important ministers are all there today, when they all express their opinions, even Zhu Yuanzhang will have to think about it for the sake of the overall situation.

Even the "Theory of Interaction between Heaven and Man" debate conference may not be able to be successfully held.

After all, with the existence of a group of Confucian seven ministers, it is not difficult for them to come up with something that represents the revelation and condemnation of "Heaven", so as to prove that "Heaven" exists.

At that time, it is not impossible to send people to agitate the public opinion of the common people, so as to force Zhu Yuanzhang to cancel "Theory of Interaction between Heaven and Man" with the surging public opinion.

Things like this, even if they don't understand, there are many examples left by the Confucian civil servants in the past for them to refer to.

In particular, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were even more outstanding in this regard.

The reason why Yan Changqing was able to successfully overthrow the "Theory of Interaction between Heaven and Man" today can only be said to have indeed chosen a stage when the power of Confucianism was extremely empty.

However, according to Yan Changqing's estimation, this period of emptiness in Confucianism will not last for too long.

According to Yan Changqing's estimation, in about ten years or so, the current civil servants who leapfrogged to take over the position of Qiqing should be able to fully secure their position as Qiqing.

In addition, at that time, "`ˇKong Sigong" should have been selected for two rounds.

With Qiqing civil servants holding the mainstream discourse power of the imperial court, and Kong Sigong leading Confucian scholars, literati and scholars all over the world, the power of Confucianism will once again return to its peak.

"However, with ten years of relaxation time, Wanmin Agricultural College should be enough to train some agricultural students in the future, and it will also occupy a certain position above the court."

"At that time, the Farm Farm College will have its own foundation."

"Maybe during this period, three or two graves among the other hundred families can be revived again."

"At that time, it will not be said that Confucianism will be completely knocked down from its lofty status, but at least it will be able to regain part of the growth soil for (Li Wanghao) a hundred schools of thought."

"And within the next decade, being able to do that will be enough."

Yan Changqing had a very good attitude. He never expected to overthrow Confucianism, a famous school in the world, by destroying the Confucian family and "Theory of Interaction between Heaven and Man".

Wanting to overthrow Confucianism, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and make his scientific way combined with the ways of various schools of thought to become one of the most prominent schools of the world again, is not something that can be done overnight, or even in ten or eight years. things that can be done.

But it might be a big project that would take his whole life! ! !

But he is patient, can afford to wait, and enjoys it.

Chapter 284: Kong Kebiao father and son going north【Please subscribe, please order in full】

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

Outside Yingtian Mansion, a carriage was driving towards the distance in the starry night.

The evening wind blew the curtain beside the carriage, Kong Kebiao and his son Kong Xijing could be vaguely seen sitting inside the carriage with a gloomy face.

Since the debate on "The Theory of Interaction Between Heaven and Man" ended, all the disciples of the Confucian family will be examined by the Sanfa Division.

And since he has always served as a sacrificial wine in the Imperial Academy, and his son is an assistant teacher of the Imperial Academy, he has no bad deeds, so Sanfasi did not treat them father and son.

However, due to the involvement of the Kong family, Zhu Yuanzhang deprived him of his status as a sacrificial wine for the Guozijian and his son's status as an assistant teacher for the Guozijian.

Now both his father and son have been demoted to civilians.

After the debate meeting of "The Theory of Interaction between Heaven and Man", although his father and son would not be reduced to "rats crossing the street, everyone screaming and beating" in Yingtian Mansion, but there is no one who is willing to have anything to do with him .

If he hadn't knelt down and begged the younger generation he had helped in the past, he wouldn't even be able to get this carriage out of the city.
