Chapter 52: A way to change the situation in the late Ming Dynasty!
“It really doesn’t work.
That guy Han Cheng said that our ancestral precepts will completely become a shackles for our descendants in future generations.
Those rebellious officials and traitors are using our ancestral precepts to restrict our descendants in various ways.
But our ancestral precepts to restrain those rebellious officials and traitors were shelved by those guys.
Or it could be twisted by their various malicious intentions and turned into something beneficial to them.
At this time, the more ancestral teachings we leave behind, the more detrimental it will be to future generations..."
When Zhu Yuanzhang talked about this matter, he was extremely upset.
Ancestral Instructions is his proud work.
As a result, I learned that those gadgets of later generations had made it like this.
How can this not make him feel uncomfortable?
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Queen Ma was also surprised.
Her guess came true!
The ancestral precepts set by Chongba, the founding emperor of the country, were all ruined by those thieves!!
These thieves deserve to die!
But after being shocked and angry, he had to face a problem again.
That's how to change the situation in the late Ming Dynasty.
If you didn’t know that you were a wise man, it would have ended like this.
But now I know that if I don’t do something and work hard to change, it will be really frustrating.
But after more than two hundred years of time and space, it is not easy to change it.
If the problem arises now, no matter what difficulty it is, they are confident that they can solve it.
But it appeared more than two hundred years later... just thinking about it made them feel a strong sense of powerlessness.
"Sister! Yes! Thanks for reminding us!"
Just when Empress Ma was ready to continue thinking with a heavy heart, Zhu Yuanzhang's excited voice rang out.
Empress Ma was already used to her husband's turmoil, so she was not frightened by his sudden voice.
But I was more curious about what Chongba thought of.
His proposal had just been rejected by him, but he said that he reminded him and made him think of a good idea.
What did you say to remind him?
"Sister, you are right. Although we cannot reach it after more than two hundred years, it is not impossible to change the situation in the late Ming Dynasty.
If the ancestral precepts are not fulfilled, the words spoken will be spoiled by those people.
But in addition to the ancestral teachings, we can also do practical things!
From now on, we will solve various problems one by one and strive to make our Ming Dynasty perfect and prosperous!
We have laid a solid foundation and corrected in advance all the shortcomings that will have a very serious impact in future generations.
I don’t believe that the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty will happen again!”
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his body unconsciously.
From the killings on the battlefield, the momentum of the founding emperor surged out overwhelmingly.
This kind of mind and courage are not something ordinary people can possess.
It’s heartbreaking!
After learning about the tragic situation in the late Ming Dynasty from Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang was always in a very heavy mood.
But at this time, the heaviness in his heart was swept away!
He has found his way!
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, especially after feeling the change in her husband's mood, Queen Ma's eyes were full of brilliance.
This is my husband!
This is the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
You will not be defeated by any difficulties!
I chose him back then because I was attracted by his qualities.
After all these years, Chongba has not changed at all!
"good!"
Queen Ma applauded Zhu Yuanzhang.
"What you said is very good, Chongba!
You start to change the Ming Dynasty from now on. At this time, the Ming Dynasty has undergone many changes, and the future of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably undergo great changes!"
After hearing Queen Ma's words, I felt the adoring eyes of Queen Ma looking at me.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was extremely comfortable.
The two of them were here, after confirming the matter, they talked some more.
Empress Ma suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Chongba, from the description of Mr. Han, we can know that in the late Ming Dynasty, the nobles were noble and the military was light.
The civil servant family is the only one.
The fact that the civil service group can be so arrogant and domineering and do all kinds of things is inseparable from this situation.
It's just that our Ming Dynasty is now weak in martial arts and culture.
What happened that led to such a big change later?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also couldn't understand after hearing Empress Ma's question.
"Chongba, could it be that in the future you feel that the martial arts warriors are too arrogant and domineering and difficult to suppress?
There will be trouble. Let's follow the example of Song Taizu, who released his military power over a glass of wine and made the decision to control military power with culture, right?"
After Empress Ma thought for a while, she suddenly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked this sentence.
After hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head repeatedly.
"Sister, this is impossible! How could we be so stupid!
It was the Song Dynasty that crazily suppressed warriors and elevated the status of literati. This made the entire Song Dynasty, even when Boss Zhao was here, still able to watch.
Apart from him, there is a whole history of humiliation.
Paying tribute, giving away women, being groveling to the barbarians...
Every time I think about it, I want to chop off the heads of the emperors of the Zhao family and feed them to the dogs!
It was also because of Song's actions that led to the rise of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties and the end of the Chinese Dynasty.
How could I possibly do such a thing?
Now that the Ming Dynasty has just been established, we have a lot of military honors.
These old brothers all came from the war.
Warriors are inherently rough, and there are many of them. They think they have made great contributions and start doing all sorts of evil things.
They want to enjoy themselves, and we understand and support them.
But they can't ruin our Ming Dynasty in every way!
We have been very sincere to them, urging them over and over again not to do evil, not to prey on the common people, not to be worms in the Ming Dynasty?
Afraid that they would not remember it, in the sixth year of our stay in Hongwu, we even erected an iron monument to clearly inform them that officials and civilians were not allowed to seize mountains, lakes, and minerals.
It is not allowed to bully the common people, and it is not allowed to seize land and property...
But even so, these people still don't restrain themselves and regard our words as farts.
These old brothers have all followed us from the late Yuan Dynasty. They have all endured hardship and been oppressed by too many corrupt officials.
We also thought before that after they become officials, they will definitely not become corrupt officials.
After all, they hated corrupt officials so much back then!
But later, we discovered that we were wrong!
What these people hated at first was not the corrupt officials who oppressed the people, but they hated that they had no power and no way to be corrupt officials and oppress the people!
We couldn't bear it anymore, so we took action against some of the warriors who made too much noise..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt tired.
He really wanted to give those who conquered the world with him a good death.
But these people, after the world became stable, corrupted too quickly!
He had to take action.
"But no matter how much these people go too far, we will not suppress military officials too much and improve the status of civil servants.
At most, it will be to maintain a balance between them.
I will not do such stupid things as using civility to control military affairs."
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, she thought about Chongba's character. She believed that Chongba would not do such a thing.
If it wasn't done by Chongba, could it be done by Biao'er?
Or was it done by other emperors?
But future emperors should not do such obviously stupid things!
Moreover, Wuxun Group is very powerful.
Even if future emperors really wanted to touch them, it would not be easy.
But why, why did such a powerful martial arts decline later?
As a result, the status of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty was so low?
There must be something going on here, something happening that I and others cannot understand.
"Chongba, why don't you...ask Young Master Han what's going on?"
