Worship the Buddha or destroy the Buddha,
For those in power like Zhu Xiongying, it is nothing more than a means.
It is not mixed with any personal emotions and has nothing to do with beliefs.
It was purely out of consideration for the future of Ming Dynasty.
It is best to destroy the Buddha.
But Yao Guangxiao is definitely different from Zhu Xiongying.
He stayed in the Buddhist temple for who knows how long.
I spend the whole day in the company of monks, wooden fish, and vegetarians,
It is no exaggeration to say,
Buddhism has become an integral part of him.
But Yao Guangxiao said lightly,
Destroy the Buddha.
This is a bit too scary.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Yao Guangxiao with something unspeakable in his eyes.
Yao Guangxiao ignored it.
Looking at Zhu Xiongying with a smile,
"What do you think of Taoism, Your Highness?"
Zhu Xiongying said lightly,
"You can use your own techniques, but not your own methods."
Yao Guangxiao took a deep look at Zhu Xiongying.
What does this mean?
Taoist thinking is pure and inactive, self-sufficient.
What is pursued is the expression of personal value.
However, Taoist thought was not suitable for the governance of the feudal dynasty at all.
Everyone is pure and inactive and goes to practice their own cultivation.
Who farms?
but,
Taoist techniques can be used.
For example, after a lot of hard work, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, found that it would be better to rule by doing nothing.
This is borrowed from Taoist thought.
After Yao Guangxiao’s testing,
He found that Zhu Xiongying completely rejected Buddhism and could choose Taoism instead.
His Highness in front of him obviously has his own ideas.
So,
I should also mention Zhu Xiongying's evaluation in my heart.
A great palace coup, three dragons seize the throne,
It was not as Yao Guangxiao thought, that His Majesty was controlling everything behind the scenes.
After contacting Zhu Xiongying,
Yao Guangxiao is convinced,
Zhu Xiongying played a huge role in it. It may even be said that,
It is Zhu Xiongying who is leading His Majesty!
Yao Guangxiao lowered his head,
Think for a moment,
He raised his head and asked,
"Your Highness, how about Legalism?"
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
"Use it.
But that's not how it works. "
Yao Guangxiao slowly opened his eyes when he heard this, and his white eyes looked particularly scary!
Zhu Xiongying's answer completely exceeded Yao Guangxiao's expectations.
Legalism has only one usage in the feudal dynasty from ancient times to the present.
High-pressure management that combines law, technique and potential.
Perhaps there was a benevolent lord like Emperor Wen of Han who was lenient with punishments.
But definitely a minority.
Moreover,
If you make a mistake, Emperor Wen of Han will also deal with you.
It just eliminates a lot of corporal punishment and no longer tortures you.
Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but lean forward.
"The poor monk is willing to listen attentively."
Zhu Xiongying said directly,
"Our laws are not serious."
hiss! ! ! !
Yao Guangxiao took a breath when he heard this! ! !
Looking at Zhu Xiongying with horror in his eyes! ! !
He instantly understood what Zhu Xiongying meant.
only,
This idea is so crazy! ! !
Why is Dharma not serious?
It’s not that the legal provisions are not strict;
Judging from the bamboo slips unearthed in the Qin and Han Dynasties,
Ancient legal provisions are extremely detailed;
And the subsequent feudal dynasties will naturally not shrink more and more.
But no matter how detailed the legal provisions are,
Still not serious.
Because there are people who can interpret the law at will,
He is someone who is above the law!
It’s self-evident who it is!
Your Majesty now, His Majesty the future!
Yao Guangxiao's forehead was covered with fine cold sweat.
The voice trembled and said,
“Your Highness, do you want the law to prevail over everyone?
We can only use it but not exploit it?
Just...even you can't? "
Zhu Xiongying nodded.
He has no problem with his grandfather being the emperor, and he has no problem with his father being the emperor either.
but,
Zhu Xiongying wanted to transition to the modern system as much as possible by the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Even just plant a seed.
The ancient feudal dynasty naturally had its significance for existence.
If it were not for this kind of centralization of power,
Unify economic dispatch, respond to disasters, and coordinate operations...
The Chinese nation has long since fallen apart.
There will be no such unbroken dynastic succession.
but,
Everything has a period of decline and a period of prosperity.
no doubt,
If you go to the world,
This system seems outdated.
To give a very simple example,
Now that Zhu Xiongying has unified the whole world, how should he govern?
Is it possible to return to a unified dynasty?
This is a bit too whimsical.
so,
It’s not that Zhu Xiongying hates these things, but that these systems will be quickly eliminated.
We can't just stubbornly hold on to it.
No matter how well Lao Zhu Yesan does, what?
If fundamental changes are not made,
From now on, whenever there are one or two prodigal sons,
This business must be defeated!
and,
The evolution that Zhu Xiongying wants is not to change directly by patting his head.
It will take hundreds of years to transition,
Zhu Xiongying trusts his grandfather and father, and also trusts himself.
but,
There is no guarantee that every future Ming Dynasty emperor will
They are all capable and good people.
If the emperor is a benevolent ruler, the people will live a good life for two years.
If the emperor is an evil king, the people will not be able to survive.
This is a bit too bullying.
so,
Even if the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty was extended a lot,
This is also a question that Zhu Xiongying has to think about.
What should be done to continue the prosperous age as much as possible.
Yao Guangxiao's pupils were shaking, and he stared at His Highness in front of him in shock.
Your Highness is right.
Indeed, no one has ever used the method in this way.
This, this is too outrageous!
As for Confucianism, there is no need to ask.
According to Zhu Xiongying’s previous answer,
Yao Guangxiao can confirm,
Your Highness has chosen to use Legalism in this way, so he will no longer value Confucianism.
But His Highness will definitely use it,
Obviously,
All these are just means.
There are skills in governing the country, and every founding emperor has his own ideas.
Qin Shihuang emphasized the law and high pressure,
The Han Dynasty was a mixture of domineering and domineering kings.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty embraced all rivers,
Taizong of the Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts.
And what is Lao Zhu?
Lao Zhu seems to have a bit of everything.
In terms of usage, the Ming Dynasty laws and imperial edicts were promulgated.
Severely crack down on corruption and bribery.
Ambiguous attitude towards Buddhism.
He has a slightly more positive attitude toward Confucianism.
This can be seen from the fact that the great scholar Song Lian was the head of the civil servants.
But no matter how amazing the emperor is,
None of them are like Zhu Xiongying!
Zhu Xiongying's thinking is completely different from that of the previous emperors!
Yao Guangxiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
He never thought about benefiting the people or anything like that.
He had never thought about it before, and he would never think about it again.
Yao Guangxiao is a real and fake monk who is afraid of chaos in the world.
Yao Guangxiao has only one goal in life,
Live an interesting life!
As long as it's interesting to you, it doesn't matter what others think.
But....
Yao Guangxiao's whole body flashed with electricity,
It made him tremble with excitement unconsciously.
Shallow
He found that what he had thought before was completely shallow!
The things I thought about before were all done by others!
What's the point? ! !
It’s something that no one has done before, so it’s interesting! ! !
This is what is really interesting! ! !
suddenly,
Yao Guangxiao felt that this world made him extremely happy.
Yao Guangxiao didn’t need to say much, and Zhu Xiongying didn’t say much either.
The two of them knew it well.
Yao Guangxiao is about to board the ship.
Yao Guangxiao asked the last question,
"Your Highness, what will happen to the various vassal kings in the future?"
This is the most critical question!
