The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"The way of Confucius and Mencius is the foundation of our China! Only with the way of Confucius and Mencius can we have the civilization of China! If we discard the way of Confucius and Mencius, what can we do if we colonize the world?" He spoke passionately and generously: "I would rather see a The Ming Dynasty, which believed in the way of saints and lived in peace and happiness, was subjugated, and did not want to see the rise of an empire that abandoned Confucius and Mencius. ?”

"it is good!"

"Makes sense!"

Off the court, there was a burst of shouting.

In the final analysis, all of you here are scholars, and whether they support the [Sea Power Theory] or not, it is impossible for them to really abandon the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.

Jiajing's complexion is not good, are you cursing me for the subjugation of the Ming Dynasty?However, thinking that he has set the tone today and can speak freely, he now has no shame in punishing these people.

At this time, the faces of the eight referees all changed. After hearing Zhang Juzheng's heartfelt words, they firmly supported the way of Confucius and Mencius again, even the referee brought by Yan Song did the same.

These scholars have a deep affection for the way of Confucius and Mencius, which has been handed down for thousands of years, and regard it as the foundation of their lives. How could they oppose the way of Confucius and Mencius?

Zhang Juzheng praised himself for his quick wit, and shouted loudly: "Today's debate with [Sea Power Theory], on the surface, is whether the Ming Dynasty colonized overseas, but in fact it is whether the Ming Dynasty will continue to adhere to the art of Confucius and Mencius! Your Majesty, gentlemen, I represent you all." The most holy and sages, I beg you. If you can’t see the benefits, you will lose our roots!”

Regardless of etiquette, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Jiajing and all the scholars, tears streaming down his face like rain.

For a moment, the hearts of the people in the field were seriously tilted towards Zhang Juzheng again.

Zhang Juzheng's orthodox and emotional cards were a great success.

Yan Song hehe in his heart and stood up.

Damn, it really is that this trump card has nothing new.

He's going to make the final statement.

Several trembling judges stood up, walked to Zhang Juzheng, helped Zhang Juzheng up, pointed at Yan Song with trembling fingers, and said, "Yan Song! Even if you have a brilliant tongue, we will never listen to you." In a word, we are disciples of saints, students of Confucius and Mencius! We all support Zhang Juzheng in this debate!"

"Correct!"

"We support Zhang Juzheng!"

"Yan Song's treacherous official! Disaster the court!"

"Bewitching words to confuse the crowd! What should I do?"

The great Confucians didn't give any reason, they were all impulsive and condemned Yan Song angrily.

More scholars stood up angrily and condemned Yan Song.

For a while, Yan Song became the object of Wanfu's accusation and condemnation by the whole people.

Although there are supporters behind him who shout loudly, Zhang Juzheng's exaggerated performance has already touched the heart of the scholars - once the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are abolished, they will be useless and lose the meaning of existence.

People, the ass determines the head, and the position determines the thinking.

Emperor Jiajing sighed softly.

He had already thought of this scene.

750

"Yan Aiqing, why are you doing this?"

It's not that Jiajing doesn't understand the meaning of [Sea Power Theory], but he really doesn't see the possibility of Ming's transformation.

In his view, on the surface it was the emperor of Ming Dynasty who ruled Daming, but in fact, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, and even the Daming scholar-bureaucrats held more power.

Although he, the emperor, can give orders, but the scholars and bureaucrats in the world control the political economy of Ming Dynasty, and as long as they obey and obey, the emperor will also be emptied.

Jiajing can deal with a certain official landlord, but he cannot challenge the entire class of official landlords!

Therefore, Jiajing is not optimistic about Yan Song.

"Who said? The theory of sea power will abolish the teachings of Confucius and Mencius?"

At this time, Yan Song couldn't sit still anymore, and the rhythm was about to be taken away by Zhang Juzheng.

"On the contrary, I, Yan Song, promote overseas colonization, precisely to let the way of Confucius and Mencius shine in the world, and shine ~ every inch of land that the sun shines on!"

"Who said? I, Yan Song, intend to abolish the scholar class?"

"On the contrary, I, Yan Song, promote overseas expansion, precisely to create more official positions, so that I, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, can rule every inch of land in sight for the emperor!"

Chapter 331 Temporary success [2]

"Zhang Juzheng, I, Yan Song, am a scholar of the Ming Dynasty! What reason do I have to object to my background?"

Yan Song's words quickly calmed down officials, great scholars, scholars...all of them.

They almost forgot that Yan Song was a scholar and was born in the imperial examination. What reason would he have to oppose him?Can't get along with yourself?

Yan Song: "Everyone, please listen to me. I, Yan Song, put forward the theory of sea power and wrote "Theory of Sea Power". It is by no means to abolish my Chinese way of Confucius and Mencius. On the contrary, my Chinese way of Confucius and Mencius is my unique cultural temperament. , Philosophy of doing things and wisdom condense, but it is the true way that is not easy to break through the ages! The philosophical wisdom of the West is far behind!"

He first put on tall hats for the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Those great Confucian scholars and scholars could hear Lun's voice, and every pore in his body was opened, which was indescribably comfortable and pleasing to the ear.

What Yan Song said was ten thousand times more pleasing to the ear than what Zhang Juzheng said.

Yan Song smiled: "Actually, sea power and colonization are just a tool, a policy, and a means. We follow the principles of Confucius and Mencius, so it doesn't mean that we cannot carry out colonial activities. You know, when the ancestors of my dynasty, the Yellow Emperor, the radius was no more than Baili, if there is no future expansion of territory, how can we rule thousands of miles of land? In ancient times, Yanhuang could open up, why can’t we now? Besides, the saints also said that self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace can be seen. It can be seen that the saints also regard the peace of the world as their ultimate goal. I am not opposed to domination of the world.”

Jiajing and everyone nodded, deeply agreeing.

Yanhuang hundreds of miles, developed into the great Ming Dynasty, if it is not pioneered, how did it come about?
