Back to the Wenhua Palace. After Yunxi came back, he concentrated on sorting out what he had said today in his room, and all other plans were cancelled.
Concubine Lu of Wenyuan Pavilion found out shortly after Yunwen and Yunxi left that there were many people going to Jinshen Hall today, so she felt relieved. But she didn't feel relieved for an hour yet. She would wait for Yunwen to come back.
When I said what happened, I suddenly became nervous again.
Everyone knows that although Zhu Yuanzhang only chatted with his sons and grandchildren these days, he also chose the most suitable person among the limited candidates for the crown prince: the second eldest Zhu Xi, the third eldest Zhu Fan, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunxi.
.Today Yunxi made such a speech that was full of truth, philosophy, operability, and..., and His Majesty seemed to attach great importance to Yunxi's views, and his ability to compete for the crown prince was greatly increased.
But Concubine Lu was powerless to do anything about the previous dynasty, and she did not dare to harm Yunxi in the harem. First, Lao Zhu did not completely let go of Wenhua Palace, especially after Zhu Biao's death, he strengthened his monitoring of Wenhua Palace.
Secondly, if Lao Zhu only has two candidates, Yunwen and Yunxi, then if she takes a chance, even if Lao Zhu finds out and dies, Zhu Yuanzhang can only make Yunwen the crown prince, and his own death will be worthwhile;
But now there are other candidates, and the result of winning a chance is likely to cause Lao Zhu to dislike Yunwen and make wedding clothes for others. So she can only use it when she meets Lao Zhu rarely, and she has not used it for many years.
His ability to slander, professionally, without leaving any trace, and in a subtle and subtle manner made Lao Zhu aware of Yun Hei's shortcomings.
In addition, Concubine Lu glanced at Yun Wen who was sitting next to her and eating seriously. Another point was that Yun Wen performed well. Concubine Lu believed that her son was definitely better than Yun He in doing things (parents always trust their children). But Yun Wen
Xuan's body needs more rest now.
"Yunwen," Concubine Lu said. Yunwen looked sideways at her. "Have a good rest after eating." Yunwen was surprised by this meaningless sentence. He usually said this after eating.
Yes, but he still replied: "Yes".
After finishing the meal, Concubine Lu did not accompany Yun Wen back to the dormitory today. She gave instructions again and went to find her 'think tank'.
After talking about the inside of the palace, let’s talk about outside the palace. All the princes over twelve years old live outside the palace. Today Yunxi put forward such a shocking point of view. Everyone was very interactive**, so he couldn’t wait to talk to his staff.
It was not something that needed to be kept secret anyway. After hearing this, these staff members needed to calm down their fragile hearts that had been trampled by a hundred thousand grass and mud horses, so they went to their friends in Beijing to talk to them. One by one, they spread the word.
Xi and his expansion of land to ensure sufficient food, imitating Zhou Fengguo's views became the focus of attention of all officials in Beijing without warning.
In the evening, sedans or carriages hurriedly came and went on the streets. The curfew was coming soon. People who had discussed with their friends the idea of expanding the land and having enough food to imitate Zhou Fengguo hurried back to their homes one by one.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, the consequences of violating the curfew due to personal matters could be serious. Zhu Yuanzhang might have exiled you when he was angry. But there was a sedan that was not going home, but came to the residence of Liu Sanwu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.
.
The sedan stopped at the side door, and an old man in his seventies walked out. It turned out to be Bao Xun, the censor of Youqian City. He strode into the mansion, where two old men in their seventies, like him, were discussing and waiting.
Looking at him, he saw Bao Xun come in and hurriedly stood up to say hello to him. Bao Xun said: "Junzhong, Rusun, the three of us should stop talking about these false etiquettes. You two have also heard about the land expansion of the three emperors and grandsons."
Food, are you imitating Zhou Fengguo’s point of view?”
The one who is called Rusun is Liu Sanwu, and the one who is called Junzhong is Wu Chen, a doctor of the Imperial College. The three of them are the only three people who can be called great Confucians among the officials in Beijing.
Most people may have never heard of these three people. In fact, Liu Sanwu is relatively famous. He later presided over the Hongwu Examination for 30 years. This was the first major scientific examination case in the Ming Dynasty, and he was recorded in history because of this.
Leave your name.
The three of them sat in a circle. Wu Chen said: "I have been here for a while, and I discussed it with Brother Rusun. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought to only respect Confucianism, Confucian scholars in the past dynasties have supported unification and opposed enfeoffment. We
As contemporary great Confucians and Confucian scholars in Beijing, they must clearly oppose feudalism, as well as the continuous expansion of territory and militarism.
But excluding those purely speculative things (actually the author doesn’t understand much), apart from the objection to militarism which can be clearly stated with sufficient reasons, the other parts are difficult to refute.”
Liu Sanwu continued, "First of all, there is no room for refutation about the part about sufficient food. Anyone who does not farm knows that the grain output of one acre of land is limited. It is meaningless to refute those small flaws."
"Secondly, it is difficult to object to the expansion of territory. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi's view of respecting kings and resisting barbarians was almost the same as that of the three emperors and grandsons. Today's emperor is not confused.
Third, we can speak out against the feudal state, but today there are only three of us, so we can speak openly. The opposition to the feudal state is the result of the emperors insisting on unity, and it is in line with the new ideas of Confucianism (actually, it is their interests).
The original thoughts of the sage teacher (Confucius) who became part of Confucianism supported the restoration of the Zhou system. If they cannot think of a clear and irrefutable objection, the other party can use the original views of the sage teacher to refute it.
, it is difficult to judge how the Holy Emperor will think about this."
After listening to what they said, Bao Xun said: "Is there nothing else to say?" The other two shook their heads. Bao Xun thought for a moment and said: "The expansion of territory will most likely turn into militarism and a waste of national power. You can refute it from here.
, However, there is a suspicion of repetition; there is also the issue of feudal states. It can be said that the world was originally stable, but there were wolf ambitions to feudal states, and they took advantage of the invasion of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to raise troops and cause chaos in the world." Liu Sanwu said: "Three emperors and grandsons.
As mentioned in the point of view, only in remote places, such as Hami, the land in Guanzhong is barren. It is no longer the Guanzhong of the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is almost impossible to reach the Central Plains from the Western Regions through the Ganlong area. Titi can, but I'm afraid your Majesty won't
Will agree."
Readers may not understand. The point of view put forward by Yun Xi sounds good for the country, and they can't find any major faults with it, so why do they still oppose it? This is their selfishness.
Of course, their selfishness is not directed at themselves. According to general standards, these three people are people of very high moral character, people who have escaped from vulgar tastes, people who are not self-interested and specialize in benefiting others, and are selfless.
people.
Their so-called selfishness is aimed at Confucianism. In a normal unified country, the status of military generals will continue to decline, while the status of civil servants will continue to rise; but if it continues to expand, the status of military generals will always be higher, and may even overwhelm civil servants.
And they still have a hidden worry in their hearts: the thoughts of Saint Kong were not popular during the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Although times similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods are unlikely to reappear now, as great Confucians of the time, these few people would certainly consider such a thing.
Important events concerning the future of Confucianism.
However, the three of them discussed it for a while and came up with no good ideas. Finally, Bao Xun said: "The three of us will discuss it here and we will come up with no good ideas. We will definitely bring it up to His Majesty tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Let's talk about it then." He stood up.
Come, salute you two, turn around and leave.
As a great Confucian whom Zhu Yuanzhang held up as the banner of Confucianism, he had some privileges compared to ordinary petty officials, such as not having to worry about curfews and the like.
Wu Chen and Liu Sanwu looked at each other, sighed, and got up and left.
That night, Zhu Yunxi waited until very late to finish and improve what he said this morning. By the time he finished everything, it was already midnight (23 o'clock to 1 o'clock), although most modern people are like this
I went to bed at 0 o'clock or had not yet gone to bed, but in the early Ming Dynasty, basically everywhere, except for the people who were on the clock, no one else was still alive. Even in high-end clubs such as the Women's Branch Hospital, it was time to go home
Those who went home also went home to sleep, and those who didn't went home also hugged my sister and rested.
The next day Yunxi got up a little late, but still insisted on going to Wenyuan Pavilion after breakfast to harass Yunwen. Poor Yunwen didn't sleep well yesterday! No matter how kind and humble a person is, he still has ambitions for the throne.
, Yun Wen also thought about becoming an emperor.
But yesterday Yunwen's words hit him hard. A person who usually studied less than one-tenth of his own put forward such an unprecedented point of view, which made Yunwen start to doubt his IQ. So Yunwen had been in a state of confusion in the first half of the night.
In the midst of self-denial; in the second half of the night, Yunxi finally regained some confidence by recalling the encouragement and praise given to him by his grandfather and father, and then it was daybreak.
But Yunwen didn't want to worry his mother and concubine, so he got up normally. Just as he was about to go back and relax for a while after dinner, Yunxi came. Yunwen couldn't keep him away, so he forced himself to deal with Yunxi. He almost
The moment after Yunxi left, he fell on the bed.
Today Yunxi was also preoccupied, otherwise he would not have noticed Yunwen's obvious performance. After coming out of Yunxi's place, he went to Jinshen Hall with the contents he had compiled last night, and kept talking on the way.
I'm thinking: What on earth did Lao Zhu think? Will he accept my point of view? Are the records of Ming history written by the Manchus reliable? Did Lao Zhu summon anyone in Jinshen Hall today? Concubine Lu will meet
Don’t you want to fight to the death? What do civil servants think? Military generals should support me, right? No, supporting my point of view does not mean that they will support me? Wait, it’s a complete mess.
